Glory Greenery

Chapter 628 The Desperate Bell

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

The city of Lisbon, which had been in a brewing atmosphere before, burst into an unparalleled football boom on the day of the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League final.

It was just after one o'clock in the morning on May 5th, domestic time, and it was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, which was seven hours slower than the domestic time.

A large number of fans began to flock to the Stadium of Light in Lisbon in advance.

The home of the Portuguese giants Benfica ushered in the most lively game of the season.

The stands, which can accommodate 4000 million people, quickly became full.

Judging from the atmosphere in the stands, the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid has not yet started, and the war between the fans has started first.

One side is blue and the other side is white. Fans from both sides waved flags, slogans, shouted slogans and sang team songs.

It can be said that it is a divisional struggle and will never give in.

But when it comes to fans, I have to talk about the influence brought by the two most watched superstars in today's game.

Except for the Yang Mo fans in Europe, the domestic compatriots will of course spare no effort in supporting Yang Mo.

Even though the game was held in Europe, there were still nearly a thousand Chinese fans in the stands. They still bought tickets, and there were quite a few people who didn't buy tickets and supported them outside the stadium.

Thanks to the development of the domestic economy, fans will naturally not be stingy, and Yang Mo's influence in Europe, so domestic fans have now become the most popular fan group in Europe.

However, it is a pity that although Yang Mo's influence has to overwhelm Ronaldo, Ronaldo in Portugal is basically equal to sitting at home.

With the help of their own compatriots, Real Madrid not only faintly overwhelmed Manchester City in terms of team fans.

In terms of the number of neutral fans, it is completely overwhelming. After all, looking at the stands on both sides, there are definitely not a few Portuguese wearing Ronaldo jerseys, and you can understand that this is completely an irresistible factor.

However, fans' support, cheering and so on are actually secondary.

Today in this stadium of light, if you want to decide the winner, you have to see the truth under your feet.

Just after two o'clock in the morning domestic time, accompanied by Huang Jianxiang's familiar voice, the fans who gathered at Penguin Sports to watch the game saw that the broadcast had officially started.

"Good evening, audience friends. This is the live broadcast room of the Penguin Sports 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League final. I am the commentator Huang Jianxiang."

"Next to me is the guest commentator of this game, Director Zhang. We are currently in the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Although the much-anticipated Champions League final will start in 10 minutes, the atmosphere in the stadium has already changed. Very high, today's Stadium of Light was packed..."

Here, Huang Jianxiang started to warm up.

On the other side, in the dressing room of the visiting team at the Stadium of Light, the fully armed Manchester City team is making the final mobilization.

The old coach Pellegrini looked at everyone with serious eyes, and then said in a low but powerful voice: "We must go out from here now, win the game, and become legends."

Three consecutive Champions League titles after the restructuring, unprecedented!

Although the Champions League before and after the reform has a higher gold content, it is still debated endlessly. Some people say that only real champions can participate in the real Champions Cup in the past, and some say that the pressure of competition is greater now and so on.

But it is undeniable that today's competition system requires more games and higher requirements for the team. It cannot be said that winning the championship is more difficult than before, but it can be said that it is more tiring.

So in this case, it is even more commendable to stabilize the triple crown, defend the Champions League, and win three consecutive championships.

It is difficult for other teams to even defend their title after the restructuring, but Manchester City, under the leadership of Yang Mo, not only successfully defended their title, but now they are even more likely to become an even more exaggerated three consecutive championships.

Therefore, Pellegrini will say a legend.

The importance of this game, for Manchester City, is far beyond the past.

Real Madrid is definitely not an opponent that can be easily defeated.

Ibrahimovic was injured, and Manchester City's strength was irreparably lost. In the quarter-finals against Barcelona, ​​if Ibrahimovic was present, Manchester City would never be so embarrassed.

In the eyes of a veteran coach like Pellegrini who focused on safety in that game, which was called the miracle of Manchester, he never wanted to do it again.

No longer dancing on the tip of the needle, and winning steadily is the old man's favorite.

Thinking of this, Pellegrini couldn't help but look at Yang Mo who was chatting with his teammates, and understood that like all previous games, Yang Mo's performance is absolutely crucial to win this game.

Since he took over from Mancini, he has fully realized that the most dazzling one in Manchester City will never be him.

When the outside world commented on this team, it would often be described as Yang Mo leading Manchester City forward. He never refuted and agreed with this point.

Patting Yang Mo on the shoulder, Pellegrini expressed a gentle expression, "Yang, lead the boys to play."

Hearing this, Yang Mo gave the old coach a reassuring look, and then waved to his teammates, "Let's go, kick Real Madrid's ass!"

Amidst the roar of laughter, the Manchester City team left the locker room.

In the player channel entering the field, Yang Mo followed behind the coaching staff, and behind him was the starting goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

After losing the starting position due to his poor performance, coupled with the performance of Navas' friendship, it is difficult for the original old teammate Joe Hart to qualify for the starting lineup.

Holding the hand of the little caddy in his hand, Yang Mo turned his head to look at Ronaldo in the Real Madrid team, and found that the opponent happened to be in the stands.

They nodded politely, but they couldn't hide the fighting spirit in their eyes and the flame of longing for victory.

Both of them understand that they are the same kind of people in some respects.

Self-discipline, work hard, be strong, unwilling to fail!
In today's game, they only want one result, and that is to win.

After signaling to the two people who were hotly discussed by the outside world, there was a reminder from the staff in front that they were about to enter.

Gently tugging at the ball boy in his hand, Yang Mo, as the captain, led Manchester City's starting lineup towards the field.

In the Champions League final, the pre-match ceremony was naturally extraordinarily grand.

But everything that everyone cares about at the moment is not on these, everyone only cares about the start of the game.

Accompanied by the commentary in various languages ​​on the commentary stage, the two teams set up their lineups on the field. This final battle of the strongest professional competition in Europe has finally begun!

The home team, Real Madrid, attacked first, and Benzema gave the ball to Ronaldo. Real Madrid's offensive was about to start.

On Manchester City's side, seeing Modric handing the ball to the right winger Bell, Yang Mo, who was on the left side of the field, did not rush to attack, but took the initiative to stick it up for defense.

When Bell did not transfer to Real Madrid, Yang Mo and the opponent were old acquaintances in the Premier League.

For this speed player, Yang Mo can be said to be handy.

No superb defensive skills are needed, just relying on his speed and physical confrontation, Bell can be controlled to death.

On Bell's side, feeling the mountain-like pressure from Yang Mo's post, he expressed that he was overwhelmed.

In terms of speed, he can't beat Yang Mo, and in terms of physical confrontation, he is even less likely to be Yang Mo's opponent.

Even though Yang Mo's defensive skills are clumsy, his physical fitness is enough to make him want to die.

"Damn!"

With a curse in a low voice, the helpless Bell could only send the ball out.

And here, after improvising to complete a defense, Yang Mo ran towards the frontcourt without looking back.

After all, compared to defense, creating pressure on the offensive end is the biggest task Pellegrini gave him in this game.
