host must win

Not only has the team's championship bonus increased a lot, but the subsequent training camp treatment standards have also increased.In their words, everything is based on serving the team well.

As early as after Manchester United broke into this year's Champions League final, the staff of the Manchester United club went to Athens, where the final was held, to provide Manchester United with a pre-match training venue.After a period of negotiation, Manchester United leased the training ground of the Greek Super League club Olympiacos, and rented a seaside resort not far from the Olympiacos club as a place for Manchester United to play during the Champions League final.

There are 27 people in Manchester United's first team, plus the coaching staff and employees. In addition, Queiroz also recommended a team of physiologists who will also follow the team during the entire training period, mainly to comprehensively analyze the performance of the players during the training period. Evaluate and control the daily diet of the players to ensure the team's performance on the day of the Champions League final.

All of this makes Manchester United's team arriving in Athens will be close to 70 people, which can be described as a huge lineup.

Coupled with the club management, the family members of the players, and some important guests of the club, Manchester United needs to properly arrange accommodation for hundreds or even thousands of people, which is also a big test.

Fortunately, Manchester United has frequently participated in the Champions League finals in recent years, and such actions can be considered experienced.It might not be so easy for another team.Not to mention anything else, it is said that Manchester United's encounter in Istanbul two years ago was quite miserable.The hotel room is small, the bathroom is small, and the bed is small, making it difficult for several tall players in the team to take a bath and sleep restlessly.

Although it is just a detail, it will also affect the player's game state.Manchester United's poor performance in the first half of that final may have something to do with it.

From now on, everything about Manchester United will start to serve the Champions League final!

………………

It was really hot in late May in Athens, with daytime temperatures approaching 30 degrees.After staying in the rainy UK for a long time, the Manchester United players are really a little uncomfortable with the scorching sun, even Yin Jun is no exception.

The team arrived in Athens on the evening of the 20th and had a holiday the next day, allowing the players to spend the day with their families.

Yin Jun also stays with his parents, relatives and friends all day long.

After many years of professional career, Yin Jun knows how to relax and adjust his state before the game.

Half lying down on the soft sofa in the hotel room, listening to the familiar voices of relatives and friends in his ears, even with his eyes closed, he can clearly distinguish who is talking.

That feeling is very pleasant and relaxing.

Yin Jun's mother and Ye Lanqiu's mother were discussing about their two children, from getting married at the beginning, to having children later, to how many children they should have in the end, they both had a great time discussing.

Listening to their words, Yin Jun couldn't help but start thinking about his future with Ye Lanqiu.Unlike three years ago, he is already 22 years old, and Ye Lanqiu is almost 28 years old, it is not too early to talk about marriage.

Of course, when Kirsty expressed her desire to marry him three years ago, Yin Jun refused. This was not only because he was too young at the time, but also because of the differences in culture and customs between the two. Direct relationship.

Yin Jun can be regarded as a very traditional Chinese man, unlike Professor Chen who thinks that marrying a foreign girl is a great thing.

That night, Yin Jun invited everyone to have a delicious meal in the hotel, but he wanted to control his diet properly, so he only attended but did not participate.

Afterwards, Yin Jun stayed alone with Ye Lanqiu for a while, and returned to the room on time within the team's stipulated time.

………………

On the day of the Champions League final, the resort where Manchester United stayed.

Ferguson woke up early in the morning, walked out of the room, and took a walk in the garden outside the hotel.Accompanying him to go out is assistant coach Queiroz, who is Ferguson's right-hand man and plays a very important role.

The two walked slowly in the garden, discussing the upcoming finals from time to time.This is their own unique way of decompression.

"I don't quite understand, why did you praise Crouch last night?" Queiroz asked inexplicably.

What the Portuguese said was that last night, after the team warmed up at the Olympic Stadium, Ferguson and Benitez went to UEFA's pre-match press conference. The Manchester United coach mentioned Liverpool's most threatening player. Think Crouch.

In this regard, Ferguson said that Crouch's biggest threat is not in scoring goals, but in his tactical role.

"I told our players, if Manchester United do not want to repeat AC Milan's failure in Istanbul two years ago, then we must keep an eye on Crouch, he is a key part of Liverpool's attack, the ball is his greatest strength in the air, as long as the ball Once in the box, he can create a threat."

………………

For Ferguson's statement, this morning, the major media also gave different interpretations.

Some people think that he said this on purpose to stimulate Liverpool, which is a psychological warfare, but some people think that he is really worried about Crouch, because the tactical role of the English high guy is indeed very important, especially in the penalty area. when inside.

Interestingly, McLaren in the UK also mentioned Crouch.

In an interview with the media, the head coach of the England national team, who has recently fallen into a crisis of confidence, resolutely voted for Manchester United to win the championship.It's not just because he was an assistant coach at Manchester United, but because he really likes Manchester United.

He believes that although the outcome of the final is unpredictable, judging from the record of the two sides in the past few seasons, Manchester United undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.Especially since Yin Jun joined Manchester United, in the five seasons, Manchester United and Liverpool have played against each other 13 times. As a result, Manchester United won all of them, including Manchester United's 2002-2003 sweep of Liverpool in the 7-0 season.

Yin Jun can be regarded as Liverpool's sufferer. In these 13 games, Yin Jun scored 16 goals and assisted 6 times. ball.

McLaren believes that Gerrard, the core of Liverpool, is a world-class midfielder, but Yin Jun is better than Gerrard. He is a Kryptonian, and he is a superman who can really change the game by himself. .

McLaren also reminded Ferguson to pay attention to Crouch.

"Liverpool's defense is very good, and the counterattack is extremely fast. The midfield relies on Gerrard's excellent coordination and Alonso's promotion. In the frontcourt, the most threatening is Crouch, a giant over 2 meters tall. He's a hugely underrated center forward."

Ferguson and McLaren mentioned Crouch at the same time, which undoubtedly made everyone gradually realize, is Gao Lao really so good?
