Grass roots glory

Chapter 285

The second round of the decisive battle between Schalke and Bayern was not only the German media, but also the whole of Europe. Compared with another match between Barcelona and Lyon, Barcelona had a decisive advantage of 3:0 in the away game in the first round. This game Obviously more suspenseful.

The Spanish "Mundo Deportivo" also sent a team to the Allianz Arena to pay attention to the semi-finals. In the media seats, journalists from Italy and France recognized Ruo Gasic, the top reporter of "Mundo Deportivo". He was the first to break the news about Barcelona, ​​and he has good personal relationships with big-name players such as Xavi and Iniesta, and even the coaching staff. With these connections in Barcelona, ​​he is well-known in the European media. After all, "World Sports Daily" is also one of the top paper media in Spain, and it is as famous as "Marca" and "Aspen".

"Luault, who do you think Barcelona will face in the final?"

Kiri Vico, a well-known reporter from "French Football", smiled and asked very straightforwardly. Everyone knew that Garcic appeared here to pay attention to Barcelona's final opponent, so everyone didn't hide it.

Gasic glanced at his French counterparts: "We will touch whoever wins."

Vico rolled his eyes, what do you need to say?
He finally knows what it's like to meet someone who can kill the chatter, but now that the two sides of the match haven't entered the field, it's boring to hang around in the media seats, so he can only continue to ask patiently: "Of course I know. Well, let me ask more bluntly. Of these two teams, who do you, a Barcelona fan, prefer to play against?"

"It doesn't matter."

Vico was a little surprised: "I thought you would choose Schalke. After all, they have no experience in finals, and Bayern are old fritters."

Garcic emphasized his tone again: "My purpose of coming here is the same as yours, just to focus on a Champions League focus game. That's all, it doesn't matter who wins to me. Neither of these two teams can stop Barcelona, ​​they are not at the same level."

Vico and the surrounding reporters pursed their lips, as expected, they were still so arrogant.Of course, it’s no wonder that World Sports News is nicknamed “toilet paper media” by readers in private. Although there are authoritative news, the news that catches the wind is more important, and it is as unreliable as garbage.People who come out of the pile of toilet paper, what kind of modesty, politeness and gentlemanly demeanor are required, it seems that the requirements are a bit high...

Most of the reporters present still hope that Schalke will win. The strength of this team full of surprises and vigor on all fronts has won them the recognition of some European media. At least most people have already understood They did not reach the semi-finals last season by luck, they were not the kind of dark horses that would die if they were thoroughly studied, so including Vico, two-thirds of the reporters here hoped to see Schalke and Barcelona The final clash.Barcelona represents a traditional force in European football.There is a sign that divides the traditional giants of European football, that is, there was once a "g14" top club alliance, initiated by Silvio Berlusconi, the behind-the-scenes boss of AC Milan, aiming to cooperate with FIFA and UEFA with a common voice. Negotiate and fight for common interests with monopoly institutions.The founding member clubs are the fourteen top giants in European football, including Barcelona and Bayern.And Schalke is naturally a cutting-edge force in the past two years.

Why does the repeated confrontation between Schalke and Bayern make people's blood pumping?The most critical thing is the collision of old and new forces.After Schalke 04 reached the semi-finals, many people hoped to persist until the end. They believed that Schalke's strong rise is likely to become a legend. As a witness of a legend, needless to say, as a football reporter, Even ordinary fans who have nothing to do with it will feel very honored.

Of course, there are also loyal Bayern reporters who are eager for Bayern to take advantage of the home court to achieve a comeback, and then to avenge Barcelona in the final and regain the Champions League title that has been lost for nine seasons.But these people themselves do not have an advantage in numbers, so they are "non-mainstream" today, and they can only cheer Bayern secretly in their hearts.

……

UEFA's game supervisor knocked on the door of the visiting team's locker room, prompting the Schalke players to play. Magath finally encouraged all the players: "Go and enjoy this game, forget about our lead, and let it go. Your energy, then we go to Madrid! To the Bernabeu!"

That was the ultimate stage of this season's Champions League final.

Magath yelled this sentence with great enthusiasm, and everyone felt a rush of blood rushing straight to their foreheads. They didn't need too many meaningless rhetoric. Going to the Bernabéu was the biggest motivation.That means a fight for the championship.It is full of temptation for any professional player to compete for the top championship honor on the most legendary stadium in Europe.

Even Neuer and Westermann trembled slightly, Zhou Tiancheng's eyes were filled with anticipation, not to mention Hao Junmin who was suddenly placed in the starting lineup.Although every inch of the skin under his feet was tense and his nerves were highly tense, he thought that he had been on the team for so long and still acted like a rookie who had just arrived, which was a bit embarrassing, so he let out a low growl. pressure.

"Don't be nervous, Brother Hao, it's still the same, just run to your position, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Zhou Tiancheng leaned in front of him and put his palm lightly on his shoulder.

Hao Junmin did not respond this time. If possible, he wanted to leave some beautiful moments in this extraordinary game through his own efforts.

When the two sides entered the field, the Allianz Arena erupted into a tsunami of shouts, and the Bayern team anthem, which was ten times and a hundred times louder than before at Schalke, rang through the stands.Bayern fans left no stone unturned today.In the fan area of ​​the visiting team, the Chinese characters "fate follows the sky, and the week is made" hang high in the center of the fans.From Gelsenkirchen to Munich.

The media audience also began to get restless.

Marcel Leff is ready, and the camera pans across Schalke 04's starting players. He said: "Schalke's top scorer Zhou Tiancheng looks relaxed, and the same is true of Van Nistelrooy, who has rich experience. The speed-type killer Jiang Hao. I can be sure that Magath will not be conservative today. From the facial expressions of the Schalke players, it can be seen that they are not nervous at all."

"It's coming, ha! It's finally starting! Schalke must win."

"Hey, look, Schalke's core week, he is still turning his head and waving...he is still laughing, he doesn't seem nervous at all, so confident?"

"Isn't this normal? Eight goals and nine assists, a 21-year-old midfielder, how can there be such a statistical contribution without the belief that he must win?"

"It's better this way, and my idea may be close to being realized."

If you count the support rate of the fans, the two sides can barely draw a [-]-[-] split, but two-thirds of the media here are biased towards Schalke. It can be said that they are the winners that everyone expects.
