Chapter 280 There is only one kind of heroism in the world

"We've already beaten two Bundesliga teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League this season and I hope to beat a third tomorrow."

At the pre-match press conference at the Stadium of Light, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti talked to a full house of media reporters.

"Of course, if someone had told me before this season that a Bundesliga team would reach the final of the Champions League, I would have guessed it would be Bayern Munich, not Hamburg."

Ancelotti's words also made the media reporters on the scene nod.

This is obvious.

Bayern Munich completed a perfect season last year, the treble is the best proof.

And this season, although Heynckes retired, his successor, Guardiola, is also a world-renowned head coach;
In addition, Bayern's lineup also has good additions, and it can even be said that its strength has continued unabated.

Therefore, in the odds of winning the championship at the beginning of the season, Bayern Munich also topped the list.

If it was said at that time that Bayern could enter the final of this season's Champions League, I believe not many people would raise objections.

And if someone tells you that Hamburg will enter the final, they will definitely roll their eyes: "Hehe, what international joke are you talking about? Hamburg? The team that was almost relegated?"

But today, this "international joke" became a reality, and Hamburg really entered the final!

Almost all the reporters present expressed their astonishment at such a result, and naturally resonated with Ancelotti's speech.

"So Mr. Ancelotti, how would you evaluate the final opponent, Hamburg?" An Italian reporter asked.

"The teams that can enter the final are of course impossible to be ordinary people." Ancelotti replied, "It can even be said that the teams that can break through the group stage are all very strong. .”

"And Hamburg is a very special team. Their players are very young, their coach is also very young, but they played a phenomenal performance together."

"There's no doubt about it, they've been brilliant. They haven't even lost a season. They don't fear any team, they play with a lot of fighting spirit and desire to win in all their games."

"But..." At this point, Ancelotti changed the subject, "In professional football, there is no eternal invincible player. Even AC Milan, where I was at back then, would fail."

Ancelotti played for Milan in the era of the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands" for many years in the player era, and won 14 championship trophies, including 3 Serie A titles, 2 Champions League titles, 2 Toyota Cup titles, and 1 European Super League titles. Cup and [-] Italian Super Cup.

And when Milan created the myth of 58 unbeaten games, he was also in the team.

"So, Hamburg's first defeat of the season is likely to happen tomorrow."

"As I said just now, we beat Dortmund 3-0 and Bayern Munich 4-0. For these Bundesliga teams, we have the experience of winning."

"And compared to Hamburg, Real Madrid is a club with a more glorious history. We have many stars who can change the game."

"Maybe tomorrow, Ronaldo will be the one to break the unbeaten record of Hamburg, who knows?"

"Every one of us is focusing on this game. We all know the significance of this game and are looking forward to the arrival of this game. My players and I have enough confidence to beat Hamburg!"

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Although in terms of this season's record, it seems that Hamburg is indeed more dominant.

Hamburg won the Bundesliga championship with an unbeaten record and the highest points in history, and won the German Cup championship, and it also went smoothly in the Champions League;
Although Real Madrid also won the Copa del Rey, they were squeezed to third place by rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the league, and encountered a strong challenge from Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, almost capsizing.

However, Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all!

This name means victory, it means champion!

32 Spanish La Liga titles, 19 Copa del Rey titles, and 9 Champions League titles!
There are so many trophies in the room of honor that a club like Hamburg will never be able to catch up!

Therefore, Ancelotti has such confidence!

Moreover, putting aside the glorious history of Real Madrid, An Shuai himself has his own "DNA" in the Champions League.

In addition to winning two Champions League titles in the player era, after coaching, he was still in AC Milan and led the team to win the first UEFA Champions League trophy in his coaching career in 2002-03.

Then there were the proverbial "Istanbul nights", in which he shared the pain of the 2004-05 final defeat with Milan.

But his stoic and tenacious character once again played a role. Just two years later, in 2006-07, Milan also completed the perfect revenge on Liverpool in the Champions League final!
This allowed Ancelotti to lead the team to the second Champions League and also his fourth Champions League trophy.

Winning the Champions League both as a player and as a coach, such a person is rare in world football!
On this list, there are some famous people:

Trapattoni, Cruyff, Rijkaard, Guardiola...

Ancelotti's name appeared among them, and it didn't seem obtrusive at all, because he is such a champion!

And now, the combination of Ancelotti + Real Madrid is obviously the most powerful guarantee for winning the Champions League!
……

"I don't have any problems with lineup selection."

After Ancelotti's press conference, it was Pan Yi's turn to hold a pre-match press conference.

Obviously, the focus of the reporters is Hamburg's current injury, especially the ankle injury of the midfielder De Bruyne.

But Pan Yi seemed very calm:

"Of course it makes me sad to lose De Bruyne in such an important game as the Champions League final, but it also gives the rest of the team a chance to perform."

"We have proved this season that all the players in the team are fully prepared for any game, as long as the team needs them, they will come forward immediately."

"I can even say that all players in Hamburg's first team are eligible to stand in the center of the Champions League final! It's a pity that due to quota restrictions, only 18 can actually appear in this game."

"But whether it's starting or substituting, or just appearing in the stands, all Hamburg players are of one mind and we will work together to win this game!"

However, Pan Yi also mentioned that it is not easy to beat the current Real Madrid.

"Real Madrid has a lot of world-class stars."

"C Ronaldo is the World Player of the Year, Golden Globe winner, he is a real superstar, and he can change the situation of the game in an instant."

"Bale's speed is very fast, and he also has an unparalleled shooting feeling in front of goal, and even his header ability is world-class."

"Modric has an elegant style of play, a lot of energy, he controls everything in midfield. I even dare to say that in another ten years he will still be as good as he is today!"

"There is also Benzema, he is responsible for the blame... No, he has excellent ability to hold the ball behind his back and can provide a lot of help to the two wingers and the midfielder. I believe he will also be a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or in the future... "

"Real Madrid play in the Champions League every year and they have much more experience than us."

"But we are not afraid. Our greatest weapon comes from our confidence in ourselves!"

"They may cause us some trouble in tomorrow's game, but I believe that we can overcome these unfavorable factors well, do our best, and win the opponent!"

Pan Yi's remarks have also been recognized by many media reporters.

Real Madrid's superstar lineup is indeed almost second to none in today's world football.

It's really not easy to beat them.

However, when Hamburg faced Dortmund and Bayern Munich before, everyone said the same.

Especially Bayern Munich, that lineup, that record, can Hamburg be compared with it?
But Hamburg beat them anyway, winning the German Super Cup, German Cup and most importantly, the Bundesliga.

Therefore, now that Pan Yi talks about beating Real Madrid, no one will think it is a bragging act.

Hamburg's unbeaten record in the past season has convinced countless media reporters that it is possible for Hamburg to win the Champions League final!

"Coach Pan Yi, I would like to wish you a happy birthday tomorrow." A female reporter stood up and said, "On your 28th birthday, do you have anything you want to share with the fans in Longguo? "

It was Ma Fanbing.

The two nodded and smiled tacitly.

Pan Yi replied:
"First of all, thank you for your birthday wishes. I am very happy that my birthday is always on the same day as the Champions League final, so that I can often celebrate my birthday with a victory, with a Champions League trophy."

"The famous star Andriy Shevchenko once said that a Ukrainian will never win the World Cup, and the Champions League is my World Cup."

"I think so too. As a native of Longguo, a country with a low level of football, it is a difficult task just to enter the top 32 of the World Cup, let alone win the World Cup."

"But I also have dreams. Although I am not a professional player, I am like all professional players. It has always been my dream to participate in the UEFA Champions League and win the Champions League!"

"The Hamburg team also has players from the Dragon Kingdom like Wu Lei. I believe he also has the same dream. No, it's not just us. In the distant Dragon Kingdom, there are also many Dragon Kingdom fans who have been supporting us and hope We can win the Champions League!"

"Although this is not the World Cup, it does not represent Dragon Country football. But for a country that is difficult to express itself on the world football stage, for Dragon Country fans, the Champions League is also their World Cup!"

"Romain Rolland said that there is only one kind of heroism in the world, which is to still love life after recognizing the truth of life. Dragon Kingdom fans are such lovely people."

"I don't know what the result of the game tomorrow night will be, but I can guarantee that we will do our best and fight to the last minute. As long as the final whistle has not sounded, we will never give up!"

"Because I'm not only fighting for the local fans in Hamburg, but also for the fans of Dragonland, for all those who have dreams and are willing to give everything to realize their dreams!"

As soon as Pan Yi finished speaking, there was thunderous applause at the press conference!
His wonderful speech simply raised the atmosphere of the entire press conference to a climax, and finally sublimated it!
And when a reporter mentioned Pan Yi's fate after the game, Pan Yi just smiled slightly:
"Everything will be discussed after the game. I am only focusing on this game now."

"But there is no doubt that coaching Hamburg is definitely a dream journey for me."

"Here, I met a group of the best players, the cutest fans, and the management who trust me the most. Everything is perfect for me, and the only thing I want to do now is It is to lead the team to win the championship after 30 years!"

"No matter where I am in the future, no matter what time it is, we will always think of these beautiful days and the passionate moments of our championship. This is the most important thing!"

……

March 5th, late.

2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final day.

There is still an hour before the game, and Real Madrid took the lead in announcing their starting list.

Forwards: Ronaldo, Benzema, Bell.

Midfielders: Di Maria, Modric, Khedira.

Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Nacho.

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.

This is still the most handy 433 formation that Ancelotti has explored this season.

In fact, this list is basically not much different from what the outside world estimated.

Except for Harvey Alonso who was suspended for two yellow cards and Pepe sitting on the bench due to injury, all the main players who can play are on.

This can also show Ancelotti's attitude towards this game, that is, "I am the main player", and he will not make any targeted changes with Pan Yi.

The starting lineup list for Hamburg soon appeared in the hands of various reporters.

Forwards: Wu Lei, Vardy, Salah.

Midfielders: Kante, Casemiro, Paulinho.

Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Rudiger, Carvajal.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

And in this list, there is still a slightly surprising change.

That is Wu Lei replaced Sun Xingmin in the starting lineup!
Before, many media campaigned that Pan Yi would let Wu Lei play in the starting lineup, but many people thought it was just a smoke bomb, because Sun Xingmin's injury was almost healed, and wearing a mask would not affect his performance too much.

But now it seems that Pan Yi did what he said, that is, let Wu Lei, who is in better condition, start this important Champions League final!

In the midfield, Paulinho was still used to replace De Bruyne.

The Brazilian has also performed very well in the last few games, almost making people forget that De Bruyne is absent due to injury.

Of course, in this lineup, Carvajal is also eye-catching.

As a Real Madrid youth trainer, he faced his old club as an opponent for the first time after leaving Real Madrid.

There are some rumors that, due to Carvajal's excellent performance in Hamburg in the past two seasons, Real Madrid is already actively operating the operation to allow Carvajal to return to the Bernabeu.

And Carvajal's response to this is that he will always be a Madridista, but as a professional player, he will still give his best in the game!

……

In the locker room.

Pan Yi looked around at the players and began his final speech before the game.

"At the tactical level, what should be said and what should be paid attention to, I have said it before, so I will not repeat it again."

"What I want to remind is, don't easily cause some unnecessary fouls, because the opponent's free kick is very good, especially in our threat area. Whether it is Ronaldo, Bale or Modric, they all use free kicks to score. Ability."

"Of course, you must also pay attention to the defense of corner kicks. In addition to Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema, their defender Ramos also has the danger of killing the game with a header..."

"Also, after the game starts, we have to try to control the situation and stabilize the rhythm. Real Madrid should continue their best defensive counterattack under normal circumstances, but if the situation allows, they will also attack suddenly, especially in the opening stage. .”

"Even if we are unlucky and we concede the ball first, it doesn't matter. We have not conceded too few games this season, but we can also get the score back."

"Remember that feeling! We must stick to our ideas and ideas, and we must not let our opponents lead us by the nose! Otherwise, we will lose! Because the opponent is Real Madrid!"

The players all nodded.

Since they won the Bundesliga championship two rounds ahead of schedule, Hamburg actually had a lot more time to prepare for the Champions League final.

The preparation time can be as much as nearly a month!

Including the focus of training and the targeted deployment of the characteristics of Real Madrid players, they have all achieved a very detailed level.

Therefore, all the players in Hamburg are very familiar with Real Madrid players, including what they should and should not do on the field.

"For the vast majority of people here, this game may be the most important game in your career so far. Because this is the final of the Champions League, if you win, you will be the champion of the European club!"

Pan Yi said and waved to everyone.

Every player and coach understood what Pan Yi meant, and they all surrounded their head coach, and then stood in a circle with their hands on their shoulders one by one.

"But on the court, don't think so much. What you have to do is to play normally and play your own things."

"Just do that, and after nine or ten minutes, you'll be back in Hamburg with that big-ear cup!"

"Go ahead and make the fans of Hamburg proud!"

Finally, Pan Yi stretched out his hands, and all the players and coaches also stretched out their hands.

"come on, come on, come on!"

The deafening sound of cheering made the ceiling of the locker room numb, and then the Hamburg players walked out of the locker room door one by one and charged towards the Stadium of Light!

……

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the 2013-2014 season, the final of the UEFA Champions League! Director Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun will bring you a live commentary of this game."

"This game is against Hamburg from Germany and Real Madrid from Spain."

"Real Madrid is a traditional giant in La Liga, and it is also the team that has won the most championships in the history of the Champions League. Hamburg has emerged in the past two seasons, especially in the Bundesliga and the Champions League this season. Stay undefeated."

"So this game is also regarded as a confrontation between traditional giants and cutting-edge teams. Of course, it may not be accurate to say that. After all, Hamburg has richer ancestors. They have also won the Champions League, but that is already It was 30 years ago and a lot of young fans probably didn't even know it."

"This game has also attracted a lot of attention. Today, the entire Stadium of Light was packed, and more than 4000 fans came to the scene to cheer for their respective teams. The scene was very spectacular."

"Now we can see that both teams, led by the referee, walked out of the player tunnel and came to the grass of the Stadium of Light."

"The main color of the two teams is white, but today Hamburg has drawn the home team sequence, so they still wear white jerseys, while Real Madrid wears away blue jerseys."

"Today, two main players from both sides did not start. Real Madrid has Alonso, who has been suspended for a yellow card, and Pepe, who has a slight injury. Hamburg is missing De Bruyne and Sun Xingmin. "

"But Hamburg has started the Chinese player Wu Lei! This is the first time in history that a player from my country has appeared in the Champions League final."

“2007年2月20日，在2006-07赛季欧洲冠军联赛1/8决赛首回合，埃因霍温在主场迎战阿森纳的比赛中，我国球员孙祥在下半场第66分钟替补出场，成为登陆这一欧洲最高级别赛事的第一位龙国球员。”

"Seven years have passed, and now Wu Lei's number of appearances in the Champions League has already topped the list among Long Guo players, and today, he once again made history! Let us look forward to his ability to compete with Pan Yi after today's game. Together with the coaches, let’s create a new history belonging to the history of Longguo football!"

"...The one who appears in the camera now is Real Madrid coach Ancelotti. He is 55 years old this year, and he has won the championship twice as a player and twice as a coach. I believe he is not unfamiliar with this final scene , it seems easier."

"This handsome young man is the coach of our country, Pan Yi from Hamburg! He just passed his 28th birthday today. He doesn't look nervous. As the youngest head coach ever to lead his team to the final of the Champions League, Being able to have that mentality is quite commendable.”

"Okay, now the two teams have lined up and shook hands with each other. The referee is calling the captains of the two teams to come and guess."

"The captain of Real Madrid is Spain's national goal Casillas. Since Casillas was promoted to Real Madrid's first team in 1999 and helped the team win the UEFA Champions League in the 1999-00 season, he has played for Real Madrid for 15 years. .”

"He is also the only player who is still in the team after Real Madrid won the Champions League once. In the summer of 2010, Casillas replaced Raúl Gonzalez as Real Madrid captain. So, he can be the captain today. Hoist the Champions League again?"

"The captain of Hamburg is Navas, who is also the goalkeeper. In the absence of captain Westerman and the absence of vice-captain De Bruyne due to injury, Navas took on the important task of leading the team."

"So, among the two goalkeepers and captains today, who can keep the goal and help his team win this game that attracts the attention of the world?"

"Who will lift the Big Ears Cup on behalf of the team after 90 minutes or 120 minutes?"

"The game is about to start, let's wait and see!"
