Chapter 387 Twelve Hours
The Carrington base is usually the focus of media attention, not for anything else, because Manchester United is a giant in European football, and has become the biggest winner of European football for several consecutive seasons.

Now that Manchester United has once again entered the final of the Champions League, there will naturally be countless media reporters flocking here, and almost everyone who can be related to Manchester United has become the target of reporters.

Even the security guards at the gate of the base had a good time.

In order to clean things up, the club decided to adopt a compromise method, that is, after training every day, a player will be interviewed collectively by reporters for half an hour. Of course, this is also conditional, that is, reporters must not harass Other players shall not interfere with the team's training.

For this request, the reporters will of course fully agree and have a good relationship with the team, but a very good notice means that you can get more news, and now anything can be an eye-catching Focus.

Nicole was first.It is also one of the most concerned by the media.

Faced with all kinds of questions from the reporters, Nicole did have some headaches.

The thing that bothered Nicole the most was, "Nicole, what do you think of Capello's 30-man roster?"

This question is very hateful, and it is easy to offend people. "Wait until I'm England's manager."

"As for my future, it's very simple, my most important future is to play every game in South Africa."

In the communication among the media, everyone has a relatively clear view, that is, Inter Milan is the most hopeful to win the trophy, because, in terms of overall strength, Inter Milan has more background than Manchester United. In [-], the Manchester United team did not have any decent transfers, but relied on a few main players and brought some children to fight the world.

And Manchester United did not lose to Inter Milan in only a few positions, and perhaps the only position that is better than Milan is Nicole.

Therefore, many reporters believe that it is difficult for Manchester United to complete their three consecutive championships, and Mourinho's second Champions League trophy seems unstoppable.

Manchester United is tensely preparing for the game, and so is Milan in Italy. Compared to Manchester United, whose doors are closed and Coach Ferguson's silence, Mourinho is much more generous. He has accepted interviews from reporters on many occasions. , If the team is not facing the most important game, Mourinho may still accept the request of a TV interview.

"Recently, how many videos of Manchester United games have you watched?"

"Recently? I haven't watched the half-minute video of Manchester United's game. Although it is not meaningless, but it can no longer be used as a basis. What we have to do is to be ourselves." Mourinho said very clearly, that That is, to use one's absolute strength to deal with the upcoming finals.

"So, what is Nickle's impression, he is the biggest reliance of the Manchester United team?"

Mourinho smiled. "He is the same as before, his passion and enthusiasm have not changed. He knows what I mean, football has not changed him."

"Recently, news has spread many times that Nickell has changed several positions in the team. What do you think of this?"

"First of all, we won't know where he plays until the day of the game. He can play on the right, on the left, of course, he is more of an organizer in the middle, and he can also be behind Wayne Rooney like before. Then we will be able to play. Know the answer. He's an important player, but for me football is not about man-marking. It's not my football culture, so our game won't be one man man-marking Nikkor and letting the other ten One against ten others, but 11 against 11. But of course he deserves our special attention because he is a unique player."

"So, what is the current situation at Inter Milan?"

"The situation at Inter Milan is what 99% of teams in Europe want to be. Physically, we are a team that has played 70 games. It is not the same as a team that has only played 40 games. the same."

After about a week of training at the Carrington base, the Manchester United team flew directly to Madrid. Although it was a bit early, there was no way, because according to the forecast of the meteorological department, it is likely that the flight will be blocked due to the change of wind direction in the next few days. It would be a disaster to be forced to cancel and take the bus from England to Madrid. Manchester United can never play a Champions League final with tired players like Barcelona.

United were mobbed by journalists at the airport and desperately needed something to fill their pages.

"I can't express any opinions before the game is over? Everything can be seen during the game." After finishing speaking, Ferguson pushed the reporter away and got on the bus. The players were already waiting in the car and closed the door Later, Ferguson laughed.This is his little trick, he signaled what he would say, which attracted the attention of most of the reporters, and the players took the opportunity to sneak into the car, and then Ferguson escaped smartly, leaving the stunned reporters behind them.

"This guy is getting more and more interesting." In front of the TV, Mourinho watched Ferguson's escape plan with a red wine glass in his hand.

The flight of the family group also arrived in Madrid two hours after Manchester United arrived. According to the club's thinking, if it can win the championship, then this will be the greatest moment in Manchester United's history. During the game, the players' families have paid a lot, and at this moment of glory, the players need to be with their families. Therefore, this time, many players' families have come to Madrid, including Nicole's Wife, daughter, and of course Aunt Huang, but Hall and Aunt Huang are at their own expense, and the money is of course paid by the boss, Nichol.

Madrid is a city suitable for walking and roaming. From Puerta del Sol to Plaza de Cibilis, or from Plaza Grande to the Royal Palace, there are art, culture, and treasures along the way. museums and enjoy the nightlife.The Oriental Palace and the Prado Palace are world-renowned art palaces.There are many parks and fountains in the center of the city, and the squares have their own characteristics, such as: Puerta del Sol Square, Central Square, Spain Square, Columbus Square, etc.Bullfighting is a prestigious pastime, and Pintas Bullring is the largest.

The area around Mayou Square mainly sells traditional items, such as various fabrics, ropes, hats and religious items.The specialty stores of popular items are mainly concentrated on Almirante Street and Signa Street, and some famous Spanish and international designers also set up stores here.

Because of the UEFA Champions League final, Madrid has become the center of world attention. Madrid, which has a very developed football culture, has a stronger atmosphere of football life. Due to the influx of fans from both sides, various attractions in the city of Madrid are everywhere. Fans of Manchester United or Inter Milan jerseys, perhaps because of England's reputation as football hooligans, the Spanish police seem to pay more attention to Manchester United fans.

However, those shopkeepers don't care, as long as it can bring benefits, everyone who enters the shop is a noble God.

Because of the abundance of time, Coach Ferguson gave the players a day off uncharacteristically to relax their tense mood. It was such an opportunity that Nicole accompanied his family to take a good stroll in Madrid. Of course, Hall and others Also accompanied.

There are footprints of the Nicole family in every corner of Madrid, and there are also some fans who come up to take pictures for autographs, but overall, the fun is pretty good.

Of course, they couldn't escape the all-pervasive reporters. However, it was clear that Manchester United didn't intend to hide anything this time, so they just went out to play openly.

When Inter Milan arrived, the atmosphere in the final became more and more tense, with fans from both sides rushing in.

"Nicole, do you know? Sneijder said that you are the only one in Manchester United worthy of his attention." Rooney's face was not very good. After the training that day, when he was taking a shower, Rooney was still wiping himself. Said Nickel of Watermark.

"So what? If you're angry, well, Wayne, he's served his purpose."

"I know, but, Nichol, what must we do?" Rooney's voice was a little loud.

At this time, Nichol found that not only Rooney, but many other teammates stopped their actions and turned their attention to the conversation between Nichol and Rooney. Obviously, this conversation of Sneijder still affected the Manchester United players.

"What we have to do is very simple, that is, beat the opponent in the game and let them know that what he said is shit."

……

In the morning, when Nicole opened his eyes, it was almost eight o'clock. At night, Madrid has a rich nightlife. However, Nicole and his teammates didn't have the mood and courage to run out secretly. What to do, what to do They are very clear in their hearts that they should not do so.

At [-]:[-], Nicole came to the restaurant. Today is the game day, the game time is [-]:[-] in the evening, and there are still twelve hours before the game.

There are only Manchester United players in the restaurant, and everyone seems to be in good spirits. The hotel has done a good job, and all other guests have been arranged in other restaurants. This is also an agreement reached between the hotel and Manchester United.

At 10:[-], Nicole and his teammates got on the bus and came to the training base of Atlético de Madrid to start the last training before the game. This training lasted about [-] minutes, and the team focused on setting the ball Tactics, and penalty kick training.

The entire training process was not made public. After the training, in the borrowed Atletico Madrid meeting room, Ferguson announced the 18-man roster.

This time in the final, Ferguson brought all the players without injuries to Madrid. At the most glorious time of a season, every player should appear at the Bernabeu.

At twelve o'clock, all Manchester United returned to the hotel. After a short rest, they went to the restaurant for lunch.At the same time, crowds of fans began to appear around the Bernabéu stadium. They have begun to gather, and many people are connecting in series, preparing to give the team the greatest support during the game.

At thirteen o'clock, after lunch, the players returned to their rooms for a lunch break.

After a two-and-a-half-hour break, the players were woken up, and they will have a pre-match tactical meeting in the hotel conference room at sixteen o'clock.

The tactical meeting lasted for about half an hour. Coach Ferguson gave a detailed explanation of the specific tactical arrangements for the game. Similarly, the starting list was released.Afterwards, the players came to the restaurant and had some simple desserts.

It is impossible to eat dinner at this time, otherwise, the physical function of the players will be very unfavorable for fierce confrontation.Sometimes science starts with the small details.

Then, the players went back to their rooms, packed their things, and, likewise, calmed down their nerves.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was [-]:[-]. Nicole took his suitcase, took the elevator, and arrived at the lobby of the hotel. Now the entire hotel is heavily guarded, and the police and security guards are already in the hotel A cordon was set up around, and the bus stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

Nicole put the luggage in the suitcase, turned around and boarded the bus, sat in the position he was used to, pulled down the brim of his hat, and waited for the car to drive.

Under the light of countless flashing lights, the police car drove the bus to the Bernabéu stadium. The atmosphere in the car was a little tense, no one spoke, and most of them were thinking about their own affairs.

Half an hour later, the majestic figure of the Bernabéu stadium came into view. From a distance, the lights were brilliant, showing extraordinary nobility.

"Hurry up and get out of the car, and then quickly change clothes, we don't have much time, boys, our festival is coming." Perrin clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

Coach Ferguson was the first to get out of the car. His black clothes made Ferguson look extremely solemn. Dozens of reporters outside the railing were there to record everyone with their cameras, although they shouted the names of the players loudly, hoping There was a chance for him to ask a question, however, they only got smiles from the players, no one was interviewed, the bags were picked up, Manchester United entered the dressing room, and the reporters ran wildly to the other side until the doors were closed, because Inter Milan's car also came in.
