Chapter 174 Pre-Match Press Conference

Barcelona.

The 98-99 UEFA Champions League final will be held at the Camp Nou.

This year is Barcelona's centennial celebration, applying for the host of this season's Champions League final, Barcelona has ambitions and wants to win the championship at home, adding a touch of brilliant color to the centennial celebration.

Unfortunately, things backfired, and the Barcelona team failed to qualify.

The two participating teams, Kaiserslautern and Manchester United, have arrived ahead of schedule. For this championship, it is obvious that both sides are bound to win.

In the league, both teams played very well and both won the league championship.

Manchester United beat Arsenal by one point this season and regained the Premier League title.Wenger's team is dejected. The Arsenal dynasty is just a mirage. At critical times, Manchester United is more tenacious.

Therefore, the current momentum of Manchester United, like Kaiserslautern, is coming to Barcelona with the momentum of the league championship.

After arriving in Barcelona, ​​Kaiserslautern relaxed first, and Magath knew very well that it is necessary to decompress before the game.

Barcelona is also a big city in Spain. There are many places to visit and many specialties.

Li Tie specially found his national team teammates Li Jinyu and Li Datou, and asked them to travel around with the team.

There are still three rounds of La Liga, but Barcelona has already won the championship ahead of schedule.

Li Jinyu scored 35 goals in 32 league rounds and is the top scorer in La Liga. As an opportunist, he successfully interpreted the concept of goals in this year's league.

Now he has become the darling of Barcelona fans, Rivaldo and Figo cooperate with him quite well.

Li Datou is the team's defense line and has many loyal fans in Barcelona. Together with Puyol, he made great contributions to the team's championship in the second half of the season.

These two transactions are considered by Barcelona to be the most successful transactions in the past 20 years.

The transfer fee is pitifully small, but the effect is so great, from the club executives, to the coaching staff, to the fans, they are all very satisfied.

There are also teams seducing them now, but the two obviously will not leave Barcelona.

After the meeting, the few Chinese naturally exchanged pleasantries and complimented each other.

When we talked about some interesting things, we laughed again.

These two are also very competent as tour guides, and they don't have any sense of inferiority in front of the Bundesliga champions. They are naturally very familiar with Barcelona, ​​and they take good care of the Kaiserslautern players.

And from time to time, the two met Barcelona fans asking for autographs. Now, they pushed Li Tie out. Many Barcelona fans recognized Li Tie, so naturally they wanted his autograph, and warmly invited Li Tie to play in Barcelona.

Li Tie is naturally able to play haha, it's hard to say when he will come to Barcelona to play.

In the Catalonia Concert Hall, Li Tie and his party also met Manchester United players Beckham, Giggs and Schmeichel.

Li Tie naturally also went up to say hello: "Hi, David! Hi, Ryan, hi, Peter!"

The three of them also enthusiastically shook hands with Li Tie and exchanged pleasantries.

"Li, when will you come to Manchester United? We can't wait." Giggs is impatient and asked directly.

Li Tie smiled and said: "Haha, Ryan, it depends on fate. For now, I won't go to the Premier League. We will definitely have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future. But it doesn't matter if you are still in Manchester United by then."

In another time and space, Beckham finally left Manchester United, Schmeichel did not retire at Manchester United, only Giggs retired at Manchester United.

"Haha, what's the problem? As long as you are willing to come, we will be waiting for you." Giggs laughed.

But Beckham and Schmeichel did not answer.

Li Tie thought to himself that both of them seemed to have plans to leave Manchester United.

Schmeichel is old, and it is understandable to be given up by Manchester United, but Beckham is in his prime, will Ferguson repeat the flying boots?

After chatting for a while, we all parted ways.

After playing for a long time, when we returned to the hotel, the Kaiserslautern players were full of excitement.

Li Tie had completely calmed down, and began to think about how to contain the opponent's attack.

Manchester United's offensive power is undoubtedly great. Beckham's cross, Giggs' breakthrough, and Yang Cheng's opportunity in front of goal are all very threatening.

However, fortunately, Scholes was suspended and Keane was also injured, which reduced Manchester United's offensive power to a certain extent.

Li Tie conceived his own defensive area, no matter what, he had to strangle Beckham, which seemed to be what he wanted to do.

As the match day approached, fans from both sides came to Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona became lively.

The British fans are hot-tempered, and the Barcelona police are naturally on the verge of a formidable enemy. They have arranged the police force early to monitor these fans everywhere.

The German fans are not bad either, they are just as popular.

At the national team level, England and Germany are mortal enemies. At the club level, there is less fierce confrontation, but neither side will show weakness.

The police are eager for the game to kick off quickly. Only by removing the root causes of these troubles can they relax.

Fortunately, the fans on both sides are really good. This time, there was no trouble, and there was no physical conflict.

Encountered, that is, verbal provocation and showing off.

It is estimated that Li Tie still played a big role. Li Tie once said that he respects Ferguson and likes Manchester United. Therefore, Manchester United fans will definitely not provoke Li Tie’s team too much.

This also relieved the local police.

In addition, there are still a large number of Chinese fans coming to Barcelona. Among the two teams, there are four Chinese players. This is another Chinese derby.

Therefore, Chinese fans will definitely come to cheer, no matter who wins, they will be happy.

5 sets are also planning to buy the broadcast rights of the UEFA Champions League. They haven't bought it this year, but they will definitely buy it next year.

Now more and more Chinese players are appearing in the European giants, and there are more and more opportunities to appear in the high-level stage of the Champions League. In order to increase the ratings, it is imperative to purchase the broadcast rights of the Champions League.

The media also flocked, but neither team was interviewed before the game.

If you can't interview the team, you can interview fans from both sides and even Barcelona fans, turning Barcelona into the football world.

Manchester United fans believe that Manchester United will win the championship, Kaiserslautern fans of course canvass for their team, no one will give in.

Of course, Barcelona fans are obviously very sour. The team's centennial celebration was supposed to be celebrated, but this year's Champions League final did not have Barcelona's share.

How can the master become a bystander, how can he feel better?

In the past few days of training, Li Tie tried it, but felt that his feet were not very strong.

In order to be on the safe side, Li Tie still used the villain value to treat his injuries. After 2 o'clock, Li Tie suddenly became alive and well.

Li Tie didn't feel any pain after meeting Zheng Zhi several times, which proved that he had fully recovered.

This also relieved Magath on the sidelines. Originally, he planned to let Li Tie substitute. After all, Zheng Zhi played as a midfielder before and played very stably.

Now that Li Tie has regained his form, he must be used as the starter.

Magath quickly let Li Tie enter the starting lineup for joint training. Li Tie did not feel unfamiliar at all. Although he had been absent for so long, he had already known the characteristics of these teammates, how to move, how to pass the ball, and there was no problem at all.

Magath has also gradually finalized the main lineup, the goalkeeper is unshakable, it must be Bout.

Two central defender candidates, Magath unexpectedly chose Stam and Zheng Zhi, and gave up Materazzi.

This arrangement is probably also taking into account that Zheng Zhi is more flexible and more suitable for defending Yang Cheng.Zheng Zhi really became a jack-of-all-trades player just like him in another time and space. He can play in any position. Everyone likes such an all-around player.

Yang Cheng is too flexible. Most of his goals in the Premier League were accomplished by grabbing points. Moreover, his speed is very fast. It is difficult for an ordinary central defender to prevent his first step. Once he is allowed to pass, it is difficult for the goalkeeper to prevent his shot.

Magath obviously used a lot of brains and watched a lot of Manchester United game videos before he did this.

Ferreira and Del Horno continue to sit on the two wings. They have made great progress this year, and they are expected to become more mature next year. By then, Kaiserslautern's defense will be more stable.

For the position of the front midfielder, Stankovic's injury has not healed yet, Magath used Schneider, and Deco sat on the bench.

This is another impromptu response by Magath. Most people probably think that Deco will play the midfielder. Who would have guessed that Magath used Schneider?
The left midfielder is still Malouda, the right midfielder, and Magath used Di Natale again, which is another variable.

Such a midfielder seems to have enough speed and good technical content. In addition, Li Tie's strength in the midfielder position should not be bad in terms of control.

For the forward line, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Didier Drogba will naturally be used together, and this will not change.

Magath is going to fight Ferguson. It seems that he also wants to surpass Ferguson and achieve his legendary road.

On May 5, the organizing committee of the UEFA Champions League final held a pre-match press conference.

Seeing Li Tie's attendance, the media was in an uproar.

Sure enough, Li Tie returned from injury!

"I have fully recovered. Tomorrow's game, I will lead the team to victory, and our lineup will be more perfect. Guarding Yang Cheng? It should be difficult, but we will try our best to contain him. In addition, we must contain David, whose right foot is the best in the world! Of course, our defense will be very targeted, and we will not let go of any threat from the opponent."

Li Tie also speaks very loudly. Now that we have reached this point, there must be nothing to hide, and we are done!

Beckham also said: "This year's Champions League final is the collision of the two best teams of the season. Between the Premier League champion and the Bundesliga champion, I still think the Premier League champion is better. I hope that Li Tie will come to Manchester United as soon as possible and fight side by side with me. This will help him win the Champions League faster!"
