Fabinho played in the Champions League for Monaco last season but was eliminated early, and Rodri has no experience at all.

"Lin, what does it feel like to play in the Champions League final?"

“If we fall behind first, will we feel scared or more nervous?”

"Lin, do you think Klopp will let me start in the Champions League final?"

"I've never played against Bayern before."

Rodri and Fabinho pestered Lin Chen every day and asked him all kinds of questions.

Lin Chen told Rodri almost all of his feelings from the first minute to the last minute of the Champions League final last season, even which floor and which fan in the stands he interacted with when celebrating after scoring a goal, and when and how much water he drank when the game was about to end.

But this still failed to send Rodri and Fabinho away!

"If you two go ahead, I believe you will play well in the Champions League final. It is no different from any other final. The only difference is that the opponent is not a team from England."

June 6th, depart from Liverpool.

The Amsterdam Arena welcomes Bayern and Liverpool.

After the team arrived in Amsterdam, no training was arranged. Lin Chen took Rodri and Fabinho out for some fresh air, and Alisson also followed.

A few people were walking on a garden path outside the hotel, and a few people came towards them, wearing Bayern jerseys.

Lin Chen recognized them immediately. The person in the front was Kimmich, followed by Lewandowski and central defender Hummels.

"Lin, it's Kimmich!"

"What should we do? Should we just pretend we didn't see it and just walk around? Can the players from both teams meet before the Champions League final?"

"There shouldn't be anyone from The Sun around here, right? We have to be careful!"

"If a fight breaks out later, Lin will run first, Alisson will cover the rear, I will be responsible for Sule, and Kimmich will be handed over to Fabinho!"

Rodri was still loyal. He left the strongest player, Hummels, for himself. However, Lin Chen beside him seemed to have not heard what he said and kept walking forward.

Then, he and Kimmich hugged!

Rodri felt uncomfortable watching this!

"what!"

"They hugged?!"

"Did you see that, Alisson!"

"Kimmich actually hugged Lin Chen!"

Alisson also walked up to chat with Sule in Rodri's shocked eyes. Rodri gradually discovered that the atmosphere before the game was not as exaggerated as he had imagined, and the Champions League final did not seem to scare him as exaggerated.

"Don't pay attention to what I said in the interview a few days ago. It was just to make this game more interesting."

"I definitely won't be angry. I like this kind of session and I look forward to playing against you in a few days. We will give all the fans a feast for the eyes!"

After Lin Chen and Kimmich chatted for a while, they took a walk in the garden together before returning to their respective hotels.

A little later, The Sun posted photos of players from both teams chatting in the tunnel before the game.

"The two teams in the Champions League final had a fight in the garden before the game, and judging from the final result, it seemed that no one won.

Lin Chen has gotten used to it. Over the years, he has received countless interview invitations from The Sun, with some even offering a price of over one million pounds for a single interview, but Lin Chen just refuses to accept them.

June 6th, the day of the Champions League final.

Bayern Munich arrived at the Amsterdam Arena first, with Liverpool arriving a full 20 minutes later.

Lin Chen was the first to get off the bus. For this final, he specially shaved a handsome hairdo.

Rodri and Fabinho followed Lin Chen carrying their luggage, and their somewhat stiff facial expressions were captured by the media.

"Rodri, don't be nervous, follow Lin Chen, he will help you get familiar with the Champions League final!"

"Come on Fabinho, I hope you can start!"

"Alisson doesn't look nervous at all. It's good for a goalkeeper to relax and not make mistakes."

Bayern coach Kovac deliberately asked the team to enter the locker room 20 minutes early. People call him a scientist on the court because he is good at combining different conventional tactics to create new tactics.

Half an hour later, the starting players of both teams began to appear at the Amsterdam Stadium, and Gullit began to introduce them!

"Liverpool's starting lineup for the Champions League final!"

"Goalkeeper: Alisson."

"Centre-back: Van Dijk."

"Centre-back: Matip."

“Full-back: Joe Gomez.”

"Full-back: Robertson."

"Defensive midfielder: Rodri."

"Defensive midfielder: Henderson."

"Midfield: Lin Chen."

"Winger: Mane."

"Winger: Salah."

"Centre forward: Firmino."

"Bayern Munich's starting lineup for the final!"

"Goalkeeper: Neuer."

"Centre-back: Hummels."

"Central defender: Sule."

"Full-back: Alaba."

"Full-back: Rafinha."

"Midfield: Thiago."

"Midfield: Javi Martinez."

"Attacking midfielder: James Rodriguez."

"Winger: Ribery."

"Winger: Gnabry."

"Centre forward: Lewandowski."

Let’s go back to the sixth day before the final.

"Of course we have to target him. He plays so well. If not you, who should we target?"

"But how should we target him?"

"James Rodriguez, don't worry about defending, your style of play needs more ball possession."

“Javi Martinez must keep an eye on Lin at all times. Thiago’s passes are mainly to Gnabry, and we have to create cross opportunities from him!”

"The front players have to move back because Liverpool like to have their defenders in a more advanced position."

"The reason why the Champions League was reversed last season was because we did not attack Liverpool firmly from beginning to end!"

"This time we play Liverpool again, whether we are leading or behind, the tactics will never change!"

"Take Liverpool for me!"

"Capture Zabia!"

"Capture Lin Chen for me!"
