Chapter 740 Redemption of the Soviet Union's Bernabéu

"Welcome to the Bernabeu Stadium, all the audience friends in front of the TV!"

"Tonight, the [-]-[-] season, the last focus of European football, but also the main event, will start at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain."

"Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich take on Barcelona from Spain."

"This is the second year in a row that two teams are fighting for the Champions League trophy, the highest honor in European football. These two teams are the best and most powerful teams in European football in the past season."

"But tonight at the Bernabeu, there can only be one winner!"

"Bayern has reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons. They won the first two times. Their opponents were Manchester United and Barcelona. Barcelona also reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, but lost to Bayern Munich last season."

"Mourinho said before the game that he will be at the Bernabeu tonight for the shame of last season."

"But Heynckes and his Bayern are also full of confidence. To win three consecutive championships at the Bernabeu, this will equal the greatest peak moment in Bayern history, that is, the period of Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Hoeness. This will let all current Bayern players go down in history!"

"Since the game was held at the Bernabéu, we specially invited two heavyweight guests to come to the scene to explain for us tonight, and these two guests are both World Player of the Year and Golden Globe winners. I believe they will be able to stand on a professional point of view and explain this game better for us."

"Let us welcome former Real Madrid star, current Real Madrid president special advisor, French legend Zinedine Zidane!"

"There is also the Portuguese superstar, now Real Madrid's number one star, Cristiano Ronaldo!"

……

The two superstars were not in the studio, but appeared in the Bernabéu stadium, and they have not yet sat in the press box.

Obviously, they do not intend to conduct this commentary indoors, but hope to be able to sit in the Bernabeu stands and comment on the game live, and this is also a challenge for them.

Zidane is a great retired superstar, and Cristiano Ronaldo is a Mr. Double winner. Both of them have achieved very good results in professional football. It is believed that the problem is not very big if they are to explain this game.

Especially Zidane, who has been invited to comment on other games before.

……

"Two, first of all, I would like to welcome you to our live broadcast."

"I know that the two players are very familiar with Bayern and Barcelona. I would like to briefly talk about the two teams."

Following the host's words, Ronnie and Zidane smiled at each other and gave way before Zidane answered first.

Zidane said that it is a surprise that Bayern and Barcelona will meet again in the final, but it is only natural that both teams reached the final, because both teams have a very good lineup.

For Barcelona, ​​Zidane said that he believes that Mourinho's team should take the initiative to fight, which will be good news for Bayern, because Bayern will definitely be more inclined to counterattack and give up possession.

"Bayern's defense is very good and I think this game will play an important role," Zidane said.

Regarding Su Dong and Ribery, Zidane said that he has very good personal relationships with both of them.

"There is no doubt that they are all my friends. We have a very good relationship. I think Ribery has the opportunity to become the world's footballer. He has such talent and strength. As for Su Dong, I believe I don't need to say more. I think that in the past ten years, he is the most outstanding and greatest superstar in European football."

Zidane also mentioned his acquaintance with Su Dong, but he was more amazed at Su Dong's progress.

"At that time he was Ronnie, uh...not Cristiano, but Ronaldo, he was a Ronaldo fan, and he came to Madrid from Lisbon to watch Ronaldo's Real Madrid debut..."

"I was here, too." Ronnie added.

Zidane laughed straight, "Yes, they all came at that time, but at that time, they had just emerged, but now, Su Dong... Ronnie, they are already the most outstanding superstars in the world."

For this Champions League final, Zidane said that he is on Bayern's side.

"I hope that Bayern can finally win the championship. I will be a Bayern fan tonight because I have good friends here. Of course, the most important thing is to see a good game."

……

Zidane clearly stood on Bayern's side, not to mention Ronnie, who expressed his support for Bayern.

"Sudong and Pepe are my best friends, and Marcelo has a good relationship with me. I have no reason not to support Bayern."

Ronnie took the initiative to mention Real Madrid's defeat this season.

Last summer spent the highest transfer fee in history and introduced the three superstars of Ronnie, Kaka and Benzema. As a result, Real Madrid was empty-handed in the new season, which is indeed regrettable.

But Ronnie also defended Real Madrid, thinking that the team has done its best.

"Yes, in the league, we lost to Barcelona twice, but during the game, I felt that this Barcelona team is not invincible. On the contrary, they have many problems. I think this is an opportunity for Bayern."

For this final, Ronnie made it clear that Barcelona's most threatening player is not Ibrahimovic, but Messi, but he also reminded everyone that Bayern has Su Dong.

"Mourinho said before that no one knows Sudong better than him. I think this is nonsense, because he only knows Sudong on the court, he doesn't know Sudong off the court at all, and I know him best. I know everything about him, including what size shoes he wears, what color clothes he likes to wear..."

"Su Dong is the most diligent and hardworking player I have ever seen. This is not only in training, but also in the game. Barcelona must maintain a high level of vigilance against him for 10 minutes. As long as there is any slack, Su Dong will make Barcelona pay the price!"

…………

…………

At the same time as the two superstars analyzed before the game, the players of the two teams on the court also finished the last training before the game, left the court and returned to the locker room.

Su Dong met Messi at the entrance of the player tunnel, and the two smiled and hugged each other.

Although they were sweating profusely, they didn't mind at all.

Iniesta also quickened his pace to catch up and hugged Su Dong from behind.

"Su, you have already won enough championships, let us win this one tonight." Iniesta suggested with a smile.

Su Dong reached out and touched Iniesta's head, smiled and shook his head, "This time is very important to me, next time, next time for sure!"

Iniesta glanced at him resentfully, reached out and pushed Su Dong's hand away, preventing him from touching his head.

Su Dong was immediately delighted, "Your temper has grown."

"We don't plan to wait for the next time, we will definitely kill you tonight!" Iniesta "threatened" said.

Puyol, Harvey, Valdes and other old acquaintances also came to shake hands and hug Su Dong one by one.

These are all teammates who fought side by side back then, and they are very familiar with each other.

However, after coming to Bayern, Su Dong is obviously more mature, more efficient and threatening than when he played for Barcelona, ​​whether it is physical fitness, strength confrontation, or playing football.

After selling Sudong and bringing in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Barcelona was ridiculed as having made a deal that lost money to grandma's house.

After the Swedish center joined the team, Barcelona's overall strength has not improved much. He, Messi and other Barcelona players are obviously out of sync. When the ball reaches his feet, he slows down a pace, and others have to accommodate him.

To put it simply, Ibrahimovic is too sticky and too good.

Before the game, you and I were joking with each other, but in the game, the two sides still have to rely on their strength to speak.

……

When Heynckes got the Barcelona starting lineup, he was obviously surprised.

Eto'o was on the bench and Seydu Keita started.

Mourinho's tactics tonight are a bit like three midfielders.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be arranged like this."

Heynckes put out Barcelona's lineup on the tactical map, four three three, Seydu Keita, Yaya Toure and Harvey form a three midfielder, Iniesta and Messi separated on both sides, Ibrahimovic occupies the center.

"But pay attention, both Messi and Iniesta are better at moving in the middle." Heynckes spread his palms and covered the middle of the front of his penalty area.

If Mourinho arranges this way, there is only one purpose, and that is to consolidate the team's defense.

Seydu Keita and Yaya Toure are both black and tough midfielders. These two players have strong defensive and physical confrontation capabilities, and they also have strong tactical execution capabilities. However, in this way, Barcelona's midfielder possession ability will be weakened.

With Iniesta and Messi in the frontcourt, plus Harvey in charge, and the ability of the defense, I believe that on the whole, Barcelona's ability to pass and control the ball still maintains a high level.

After all, things like the team's overall style can't just be changed.

The technical characteristics of Barcelona's players are like this, just put there, let alone Mourinho, even if the one-to-zero doctrine Fabio Capello is invited to coach, he still has to play with the ball.

"There is no wing in the frontcourt, Maxwell and Alves will be the key!" Heynckes focused on drawing circles on the two full-backs, reminding the players to pay attention to their running positions, especially Alves.

"Su." Heynckes frowned and looked at Su Dong.

Su Dong raised his head and looked at the head coach.

"I don't know how Mourinho will arrange targeted defensive tactics, but I can conclude that he must have come prepared, from Seydu Keita, Yaya Toure and Harvey, to Pique and Puyol. I have a vague guess that he also wants to set up a prison for you and lock you in."

Su Dong smiled slightly after hearing this, and said confidently, "Then I'll give him the Bernabéu version of Shawshank's Redemption."

The surrounding teammates also smiled knowingly.

"It's a pity that the weather at the Bernabéu tonight is good. Otherwise, if I score a goal, I will kneel down and learn from that classic scene in the movie."

The laughter grew louder in the locker room.

The teammates felt the strong self-confidence in Su Dong.
