Chapter 69 Facing Leverkusen
When ten firms were invited, Edward knew that the news of the stadium could not be kept secret.

He didn't want to hide it, after all, it wasn't a bad thing, but he didn't expect it to spread so outrageously.

Some media even said that he plans to use 100 billion euros to build an unprecedented aerial football stadium. These bullshit reporters probably just read Marvel comics when they wrote this article.

Since the birth of Edward, German newspapers have become tabloids.

After the film was launched, this situation reached its peak. Originally, the German newspapers were quite rigorous and had some bottom lines, but they suffered a lot from the competition with their English counterparts. They immediately followed suit. One day, two German journalists put on makeup Sneaked into Tom Hanks' hotel, but fortunately the hotel attendant found the problem, but even so, Edward still had lingering fears.

He invited all the main actors of the crew to live in Edward Manor temporarily, so that there is no need to worry about safety.

Of course, Pete still had to stay in a hotel.

Even if Pete is willing, he is embarrassed, this kind of thing is hard to say.

Even if the whole crew knew that Aniston was pregnant and that the child in her belly belonged to Edward, no one would say anything.This kind of thing is not uncommon in Hollywood, Edward is not bad, or there are many people who just leave.

After Van Persie returned, the German media began to hype the battle for the main striker of Union Berlin.

Although the old Suker is stable, everyone knows that he will gradually become a substitute. He is a passer-by at Union Berlin. He was born as a striker, but he is not qualified to compete for the main striker of Union Berlin. Compared with David Villa and Robin van Persie, the skills of Dirk is still a bit worse, as for Philip Judith, that kid has no wishful thinking at all, although he trains hard every day, he can't even make the squad in most games , can only yell in the stands to cheer for the team.

Cruyff supported Van Persie in the column of "World Sports Daily": "Robin is a talented young man. His performance on the court reminds me of many great strikers. His style is very similar to Bergkamp. But he plays more gorgeously than Bergkamp, ​​he is a bit like Van Basten, he can always score some shocking goals, I don’t think the Portuguese has any reason not to let him sit firmly in the main position.”

Mourinho was quick to respond, he was full of disgust for everything in Barcelona: "His (Cruyff) time is over, if he is the Berlin Union coach, he can arrange the starting lineup he wants, but Now the coach of Union Berlin is me, a Portuguese. Heh, I think he should pay more attention to football instead of trying to talk about it in the newspaper. I knew a writer before. He used to be very talented, but after he became famous, he was keen on When he was interviewed, he didn’t even write, and one day when he started to write again, he found that he couldn’t write anything.”

Mourinho's response was very pungent, satirizing that Cruyff has been abandoned by the times, and his set of things is useless now, but this time, many people are still on his side.

"David is an excellent player. If he wants to transfer in the future, Real Madrid is a good choice." Raul told reporters in an interview with "Aspen".

"Villa's feet are balanced, his speed is very fast, and his feet are delicate. Although he can't make some shocking moves, I am very obsessed with his clean and simple style in front of the goal." Real Madrid Coach Bosque also affirmed Raul's statement.

"I think David will definitely gain a firm foothold in the national team in the future. It would be absurd if the forwards of the Spanish national team cannot play the main force in the club." Spanish national team coach Camacho said in an interview.

"You're in big trouble, Jose."

When seeing Mourinho, Edward gloated: "Now there are many people coming out to support David, hahaha."

"I didn't say I don't need David, I just can't understand that old guy."

Of course Edward knew who Mourinho was talking about.

This guy has a big temper, and once he encounters something related to Barcelona, ​​he can't control his temper.

"So who are you going to start in the final?"

"Whoever is in good form can be used. Now that Robin is in the limelight, I don't think it will be a surprise that he may be the starting striker."

"Jose, Jose, it's okay to win, if you start with Robin, those Spaniards will scold you to death if you lose."

"Do you think we're going to lose?"

"Too."

Edward scratched his head and said.

But even so, Leverkusen is really not easy to mess with. They have made great progress in the First Division, and they are also overwhelming in the Champions League. They also reached the final of the German Cup.

Although they were the kings of Sanya this season in the previous life, not winning the championship does not mean that they are not strong enough. Leverkusen is stronger than Bayern Munich this season!

Berbatov, Ze Roberto, Schneider, Ballack, Lucio... Every main player in this Leverkusen team is a famous name in the future. It is by no means a fluke that they can enter the finals of the two competitions. Clinging to the leaders all the way in the league shows that they are very stable, but this team has bad luck.

The German Cup final will be held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, which is also the home of Hertha Berlin. This is a good thing for Union Berlin. They don't have to prepare for the final in advance.

Because this game is the most important game of Union Berlin this season, the fan organization started activities very early. They prepared a lot of assist tools, TIFO, replicas, huge posters, etc. Under the sponsorship of Edward, this time Berlin The joint preparations are also very sufficient.

These things are not cheap for the fans, but they are just a drizzle for Edward. He is willing to spend some money so that the team can overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, and it is best to turn the Olympic Stadium into his home stadium.

However, Hertha Berlin does not seem to have the idea that Union Berlin's winning the game is the honor of Berlin. They have tried their best to provide Leverkusen with all conveniences, hoping that Leverkusen can take away the trophy in Berlin.

This kind of thinking is that I am not good, and you can't be good either. Anyway, no matter who wins the championship, the Berlin team is not good.

Although the tickets for this game are 35%, 35%, 30%, the home and away teams each get 35%, and the remaining 30% go to local fans, but Union Berlin is local. Even if Hertha Berlin fans buy tickets, everyone is neighbors and relatives, so it is not a problem to buy tickets again.

According to statistics from the fan organization, Union Berlin fans won more than 60% of the fans in this game, which is good news for Union Berlin.

Even if everyone is from Berlin, buying second-hand tickets will still increase the price. Edward did not expect that the Union Berlin fans, who are mainly workers, would be so enthusiastic. They have always been at the Fusele Stadium with a capacity of just over 20000, but now they see 46000. There is no way to meet their needs with the tickets, which further strengthens Edward's determination to build the Hoffman Stadium as soon as possible.

The current stadium is no longer worthy of Union Berlin. If you want to become a giant, you can't do without a decent stadium.

However, he does not intend to sell the Fossere Stadium, but it would be good to leave it to the youth team as their home stadium.

"Look, we have so many fans."

Robben pointed out the car window and exclaimed.Today's reception in Berlin seems to be red. Hertha Berlin fans are hiding at home and they don't want to see their arch-rival look proud.

Ronaldinho was also very excited, but still pushed Robben away with a look of disgust: "Calm down, stars never pay attention to these things, and I will have more fans in the future!"

Van Persie, who sat in the back row, said: "Now that I'm back, I'll be the fans' favorite again soon."

"Oh, that's absolutely impossible."

Van Persie is a little older than Ronaldinho, looks more mature, has the same flamboyant and handsome style of play, and has always been more popular than teenagers with braces.

However, during his suspension, Ronaldinho repeatedly staged a good show of cutting inside and scoring goals, making the fans forget the suspended Van Persie. The two equally proud young people are very concerned about this matter.

One wants to regain the most popular position in the team, and the other has tasted the sweetness and is ready to defend his honor.

Villa smiled helplessly at the two people who looked different.

The relationship between him and Van Persie is not as exaggerated as the media said. The two of them live in the same dormitory. Villa has long been used to Van Persie, a stinky boy.

Most of the season has passed, and there is no problem with English communication within the team. The relationship between this group of peers is much better than that of ordinary teams.

Teenagers don't think so much, and the players of Union Berlin are more like classmates than teammates.

The bus soon arrived at the Olympic Stadium.

"Cristiano!"

"Cristiano!"

"Cristiano!"

Listening to the shouts of the fans like a tsunami, Van Persie pursed his lips and clenched his fists. Villa was a little envious, and also encouraged himself in his heart.

----------

Edward has long since ended his suspension, and it is nothing at all for him to slander Klopp in the media.

But today he still did not appear in the coaching bench.

Because of this competition, the crew deliberately ended work early, and as the host, he had to accompany him in the box.

When the fans of the two teams appeared on the field to warm up, the fans burst out with enthusiasm like a comet hitting the earth, and the bursts of cheers were far more exciting than the flood.

"It's really warm."

Xiao Lizi said: "If you don't come to the scene, it's hard to imagine tens of thousands of people cheering for a game."

"Isn't that the case with the Super Bowl?" Edwards said.

"There's too much pause in rugby and there's no enthusiasm for football at all."

Nolan looked disgusted.

As an Englishman, he doesn't like rugby even if he develops in Hollywood. His favorite team is West Ham United like Philip Jennings.

"These boys from Union Berlin are very good. I think they will all become big stars in the future."

"Of course."

Edward would not be humble in such matters.

Winona Ryder looked at the proud Edward affectionately, and couldn't hide the love on her face.

--------

Mourinho is still relatively conservative today. After all, this is the first final in his career, so the defensive desire in his bones is completely stimulated.

There is no doubt about Cech's position as the main force. Because of his suppression, Stekelenburg didn't get too many opportunities. However, the Ajax-born goalkeeper is quite satisfied with his situation and has not left Berlin yet. The idea of ​​United, the second goal with a problem is equally important to the team.

The two full-backs are Alves and Evra. Alves is more like a winger than a full-back. So far he has sent 8 assists in all competitions, while Evra only has 4. However, the Frenchman's offense and defense are relatively balanced. The two full-backs have their own characteristics and are candidates for starting in their respective positions.

The defender combination Mourinho sent today is Nemanja Vidic and Chivu. Both of them have good air defense capabilities, and their bodies are not at a disadvantage when facing Leverkusen players.Originally, Mourinho was optimistic about Pepe, but Pepe’s emotional control has some problems. He received a red card in the previous rounds of the league. He has already received three red cards in the first season. Mourinho is afraid that Pepe will play. will become an unstable factor.

The midfield positions are three defensive midfielders. Sebastian Kyle and Cambiasso are behind, and De Jong is in the front position. When attacking, De Jong can be used as a central midfielder. The player has better defensive ability than Sneijder. Although the offensive effect is not as good as Sneijder, Mourinho still chose De Jong.

There is no doubt about the left winger Ronaldinho, but on the right winger, today's starter is not Robben, but Dirk.This choice can also be seen that Mourinho has no confidence, he always wants to strengthen defense in various positions.

Edward can understand his thoughts very well. Mourinho is still just a junior coach. After he has experienced a lot and has confidence, he will be able to let go.The growth of a coach is the same as that of a player. It needs continuous accumulation to be more confident.

The starting striker is not Villa or Van Persie that the media is arguing about. These two brothers and sisters are also sitting on the bench.In this important final, Mourinho still believes in the old and strong Dave Suker. The fact that Union Berlin is too young has always been a problem, and it really needs an old player to remind them on the court.

Leverkusen also used their main force, and the battle was imminent.

When the players from both sides walked into the field holding the hands of the little caddy, the Union Berlin fans used the flip board to play Caesar's phrase "I come, I see, I conquer!"

A lot of huge posters were displayed in the stands, every Union Berlin player was among them, Edouard and Mourinho were placed in a higher position.

A few minutes later, they showed off a giant TIFO with the words "Bundesliga, here we come!" written in German.

With the whistle of the referee, the 2001-2002 German Cup final officially kicked off.
