The strongest winger

Chapter 495 The Fantastic Final Atmosphere

In the end, Valencia's routine pre-match press conference broke up unhappy.

But this is from the point of view of the Italian media, because they feel that Aiello does not know how to respect his opponents at all. He announced the final winner of the Champions League one day before the game.

I have to say that the media's writing ability is quite good.

Of course, the Spanish media supported Aiello's remarks. After all, Valencia now represents the whole of Spain. In addition, Valencia itself has the strength to win the Champions League this season, so it should have such confidence in winning the championship.

As for Valencia and Aiello's declaration of winning the championship, at the regular press conference before the match held by AC Milan, the reporters who had a good relationship with them naturally mentioned the question of participating in the interview with Valencia in the morning, especially about Ai Luo's declaration of winning the championship.

What I didn't expect was that AC Milan didn't make a strong response. Ancelotti seemed to be like the old demon who practiced the year before. He immediately saw the lies of the media, but thinking that if he didn't respond, it might affect the morale of the team.

Captain Maldini, who is 40 years old this year, didn't pay attention to so much, and gave a full-hearted answer: "Every player should maintain his enthusiasm for the championship. This is the fundamental reason for the player's progress. Therefore, for such an opponent, I believe my team likes it very much, because beating a confident team will make our self-confidence go to a higher level."

Everyone did not expect that Maldini, who is nearly 40 years old, would have such ambitions. It really is an old legend!Have momentum! !

When it was his turn to greet Kaka, he was still habitually modest, "Ai is a great player, but I am also full of confidence in my own strength, but the final result can only be revealed after the game is over."

After finishing speaking, Kaka habitually drew a false cross on his chest.

Compared with Valencia's pre-match routine press conference, AC Milan's pre-match routine press conference was really boring. Except for Maldini's words, the answers from coach Ancelotti and Kaka were not as powerful as expected, or not hot enough.

But what these media don't know is that AC Milan is quite dissatisfied with Aiello's remarks.

Especially Ivan Gattuso, who threatened to defend Aiello well when he was first adapting to the venue. He cared a lot about the UEFA Champions League champion. His memory of Istanbul two years ago was still fresh, and he was unwilling to witness Valencia win the final tomorrow.

"Hey, Ivan, don't be ashamed at that time!" This is what Pirlo said.

"Hahaha... Yes, yes, yes, it's a little embarrassment for you, but it's a big embarrassment for Paul, who is in charge of supplementary defense!" Inzaghi was quite excited when he learned that he was the starting striker in the Champions League final, and he was also full of enthusiasm during the discussion!
Only Kaka fell into her own tranquility.

The champion belongs to me!

Kaka clenched her fists secretly, swearing in her heart.

On the day of the UEFA Champions League final, Ai Luo's biological clock naturally woke up at six o'clock as usual, but because the first UEFA Champions League final in his life was going to be played at night, he usually had to do 500 sit-ups, but reduced them to [-], just to let himself feel his own muscle strength.

Of course, before the team had a group meal, he purposely snapped his fingers to enter the strongest winger system. Seeing his incredible statistics and personal talent, his restless heart calmed down a little.

When he came out of the system, he habitually took out his mobile phone and took a look. There were two missed calls and a few text messages, all of which were his good friends. He responded to the text messages uniformly. When facing Taylor’s text messages, he didn’t know why he was particularly excited, so he replied a text message: “Honey, I won’t let you down!”

Just as he put down his phone and was about to go out to play with the team, the SMS notification sounded again. Looking at the name of the note, Ai Luo smiled helplessly, and pressed the 'Open' button, and the text message appeared: Hey, I'm so excited, my dear, come on!I'm rooting for you in your jersey tonight.

Although helpless, I still have to reply: Okay, I will also gather with the team!

'drip' 'drip' 'drip'

As soon as the phone was put down, it rang again, but this time Ai Luo didn't reply, but turned it off directly. In Ai Luo's words, women can't get used to it.

The Valencia players took an hour's rest after gathering in the morning to eat a high-nutritional breakfast, then went to the training ground provided by the organizer for half an hour of jogging, and then did some stretching exercises.

Albelda, who has just returned from injury, is performing some simple actions accompanied by the team doctor. If there are no major problems, he can play tonight's game.

In fact, Albelda has fully recovered. He was accompanied by team doctor Hernandez just to let the media transmit a signal, that is, captain Albelda's injury has not fully healed, and it is hard to say whether he can play. He was caught off guard against AC Milan.

After the lunch, the team members rested for two hours collectively to maintain a good mental state, and then did strength training for half an hour at the hotel where they stayed, and then went back to take a shower.

By 04:30, four hours before the game, the players began to eat dinner together.

At [-]:[-] p.m. local time in Greece, the team set off from the hotel where they were staying under the flashing lights of the reporters and headed for their destination - the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Half an hour later, the bus of the Valencia team arrived at the periphery of the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

It is worth mentioning that the Valencia players did not need to worry about being raided by reporters or crowded by fans. The organizers were considerate. The moment the bus arrived at the stadium, the security personnel of the stadium surrounded the road between the exit of the bus and the entrance of the players.

The players arrived at the dressing room of the Olympic Stadium in Athens, rested for a while, and then sorted out the warm-up equipment, and the players were rushed to the stadium by Flores to warm up.

After a while, only Flores and his assistant Paul were left in the locker room.

Flores took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. This is a habit he has developed over the years. Whenever he encounters a tense situation, he only needs to take a deep breath, and he will get better. But this time, there was an accident. He took two or three consecutive breaths, but he did not feel relaxed, and his heart was still beating.

So his body began to tremble along with the violent beating of his heart.

Paul, who came back from the tactical board, quickly discovered Flores' body abnormality, which completely shocked him: "Enrique, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous!" Flores waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Paul rolled his eyes subconsciously, are you as scary as you?The nervous whole body trembled? ?But what left him speechless was still behind.

"But it's fine now!"

Paul secretly sweated, is there such a trick?

Although on the surface Paul blamed Flores for being surprised, but in his heart he expressed his understanding. It was also his first time standing in the final of the UEFA Champions League. Men always care about their first time.

Even if he has done enough homework before the game: watching videos, analyzing the opponent's weaknesses, and filing various situations, these are not enough to make him feel safe enough. As a professional coach, he has a good understanding of the unpredictability of football. In addition, the opponent this time is not small, it is AC Milan, who has won the Champions League six times!Entered the finals twice in three years and entered the semi-finals once. The experience in the Champions League is quite rich, and Valencia can't catch up with the horses.

So it is doomed that neither Flores nor Paul can treat this game with a normal heart.

After about 2 minutes, Flores shook his head, leaving the bad emotions in his mind behind, and stopped until he felt a little normal.

The Athens Olympia Stadium is a comprehensive stadium, that is, there is a track for track and field competitions on the outside of the football field, which makes the stands farther away from the stadium, and it is very difficult to create an overwhelming or tsunami-like effect.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. For example, some players are competitive players, and the better the atmosphere on the scene, the better they can perform, while some players are more afraid and make many mistakes.

However, at this time, the southern end of the stadium had taken the lead in singing loud and clear, it was Milan's team song "Milan, Milan", because the AC Milan players had already started warming up on the sidelines.

Having said that, I have to mention the layout of the fans on both sides of the game.

Since this is a neutral venue, both sides of the match need to draw a home and away lottery before the match.

Valencia draws the home lottery, while AC Milan draws the away game. Therefore, the fan positions are divided into north and south ends, the north stand for the home team, and the south stand for the visiting team. This is the most common layout in European football.

But because AC Milan's away jersey is white, and Valencia's home jersey is also white, so AC Milan wears the home jersey again, so the fans can see the separation at a glance.

After about 5 minutes, Valencia players began to come out of the player channel.

Immediately, sharp-eyed fans shouted first, and then spread from one stand to several nearby stands, until the die-hard Valencia fan group "Bat Guard" occupying the North Stand, the cheers of the Athens Olympic Stadium reached the climax of fans entering the stadium for the first time.

The atmosphere at the scene was very good. Compared with the supporters of AC Milan, there were more supporters of Valencia, because in addition to the about 4 tickets distributed to the home and away games, about 3% of the remaining 3 tickets for neutral fans were purchased by Chinese fans. That's why the Valencia players entered the stadium just now, and the atmosphere of the stadium has improved to a higher level than before.
