Chapter 297 The Super High Attention of the Final
In the final analysis, UEFA's prediction is just a family's opinion. Regarding the UEFA Champions League final, the global mainstream media involved in reporting have different opinions. Except for a few neutrals who do not hold a position, the mainstream media that pay attention to this game around the world can clearly divide into two camps.

In the camp that cheers for Atletico Madrid, in addition to the Spanish media and the Chinese media represented by CCTV, there is also the Dutch media represented by "Telegraph".Wen Zhihao has a strong brand of the Eredivisie. In the eyes of the Dutch media, Wen Zhihao reached such a height in a short period of time after leaving the Netherlands, which is another proof of the brand of the Eredivisie.

Produced by Eredivisie, it must be a high-quality product.

In addition to European and Chinese media, South Korea and Japan, two football powerhouses in East Asia, also paid close attention to the Champions League final.However, they took the initiative to stand in the camp supporting Bayern emotionally.They don't want to see Atletico Madrid win, and their long-term superiority over Chinese football will be greatly frustrated.

Japanese media is relatively objective.In their bones, they respect the strong.They admit that Wen Zhihao has reached a new level of Chinese players, but Bayern, who has the experience of winning the championship, is better overall.

Of course, the psychology of the Japanese media is understandable. Shinji Kagawa’s best performance in the Champions League in Dortmund was only the runner-up in the 2012-13 season. The final was a 1:2 loss to Bayern.

Japan's national pride is very strong. Today, it is surpassed by China in many aspects of economy and technology. Football is the only field in which they have the capital to look down on China. Naturally, they don't want Chinese players to achieve more than their own players.The World Cup is a battlefield for the national team to compete head-on, and the Champions League final is also a stage for competition across the air.

The attitude of the Japanese media is more or less understandable, while the comments of the Korean media have a strong sour taste from inside to outside.Wen Zhihao is too young and lacks the ability to fight... All kinds of excuses make people laugh.

Chinese fans have already experienced the face of the Koreans.Everyone is gradually getting used to treating narrow-minded Koreans as a tool to find fun.

"I like to watch the sticky ducks look hard-boiled. The World Cup was squeezed out by the Chinese team, and Wen Zhihao's achievements immediately equaled Park Ji-sung, haha! It's not because the sticks are unbalanced, it's because their little hearts can bear it."

"Upstairs, you underestimate Bangziguo too much. As long as Atletico Madrid wins the championship, the Koreans will prove that Wen Zhihao is Korean in minutes. Believe it or not, the universe belongs to them. The Republic of Korea is awesome...Pfft! Hahaha!"

……

Five days before the start of the final, Atletico Madrid embarked on a flight to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The Madrid media and Chinese media took pictures of the Atletico Madrid team at Madrid Airport. Every player looked relaxed, and it was impossible to tell that the UEFA Champions League final was coming.Wen Zhihao also made a victory gesture to the camera in a very funny way. This photo was regarded as the front page headline of almost every Spanish media. In China, thousands of miles away, it caused a frenzy of reposting and reposting.

This is the rookie halo that comes with a star. There is no need for many rhetoric, just a simple action, and everyone will be aware of the positive signal.

Gabi was at the end of the team. Compared with the others, this game had nothing to do with him, because he was powerless to change everything—he was dyed red in the second leg of the semi-final. In this final, he could only be a spectator, watching his teammates fight for the Champions League championship on the field.Simeone deliberately communicated with him once before setting off, and finally unloaded his psychological burden a little bit.At least when passing in front of the camera, what appears in the camera is not a negative energy expression.Otherwise, Wen Zhihao and Gabi would send completely opposite signals, and it is impossible to say what conclusions the media, which has always been very imaginative, would come up with and then spread it widely, causing a bad influence on Atletico Madrid.

Although Wen Zhihao is looking forward to the first UEFA Champions League final in his career, he understands the truth that only adequate rest can ensure performance on the spot.During the voyage, he kept his eyes closed and meditated.

Four hours later, Atletico Madrid's flight arrived in Kiev. The airport had already made full preparations, opening up special airport passages for the two teams participating in the finals, and increasing security forces to deal with the fanatical media and fans.But even so, Atlético Madrid was still waiting in front of the bus by a large number of media, many of them caught Wen Zhihao without any explanation and started asking questions.The scene was noisy, and the noise alone was tiresome, and it was impossible to hear what the problem was.

Wen Zhihao was also convinced by the enthusiasm of the domestic media. He couldn't even get on the bus to hide for a while. The surrounding area of ​​the bus was completely surrounded, and even the doors were blocked.

Now even Wen Zhihao was dumbfounded, he could only let Costa to the front, and said: "You are big, go ahead and squeeze past."

It took a lot of effort for the whole team to squeeze into the car, and Griezmann couldn't help leaning into Wen Zhihao's ear and teasing: "Wen, next time who says the Chinese are implicit, I will be the first to stand up and dissatisfied."

Wen Zhihao rolled his eyes and replied: "It's not always so passionate, isn't that crazy? Most of the time the Chinese are still like me, and you French people are even more passionate when you touch football. May I ask your gentleman and lady demeanor?"

Griezmann: "..."

The entire city of Kiev was filled with the atmosphere of the UEFA Champions League final. Promotional posters about this match could be seen everywhere. It was the first time Wen Zhihao realized that he was so "famous". Every poster had his picture on it.

Wen Zhihao has never been here before, but he has had intimate contact with this city indirectly.

This is the first time that the Champions League final is held in Eastern Europe, so the atmosphere is naturally much stronger.The level of Ukrainian football is not ranked high in Europe, but the enthusiasm for football is also very high. Ukrainians also regard it as an honor to host the Champions League final.A different way to witness club battles at the highest level in Europe.

The Kiev Olympic Stadium, the competition venue, is on the hillside on the outskirts of Kiev, and the hotel where Atletico Madrid stayed can see the shape of the stadium from a distance.

Old players like Torres in the Atletico Madrid team are no strangers to this stadium.Still have good memories. In the 2012 European Cup final, in this stadium, Torres came off the bench with one pass and one shot, helping Spain beat Italy 4-0, reaching the top of Europe and becoming the first team in the history of the European Cup to successfully defend the title.

The day before the game, when Torres and Wen Zhihao talked about the final, he still encouraged him intentionally or unintentionally: "Wen, I believe this stadium is our blessed land. Maybe God hints that we will be the final champions!"

Wen Zhihao chuckled: "I don't believe in God's will, but I believe in human effort. Now Bayern should be more nervous than us. Don't forget that we are unbeaten in the league, and they lost two games."

Now that he has the confidence, he has reached the finals, no one is much worse than anyone else, and the victory and defeat are all within a hair's breadth.

Although Bayern is strong, can it be better than Real Madrid and Barcelona?
