Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 718 Adaptive Training and Press Conferences

After the two teams arrived in Munich, it means that the Champions League final has officially entered the final sprint stage, and there is an atmosphere of gunpowder that is about to break out.On the second day, the two teams will have training time and press conferences to adapt to the venue.

At the same time, the attention of the media around the world on this game has also entered a climax.The eyes of the whole world are focused on the most developed and greatest city in Germany. Various reports about the two teams can only be described as overwhelming.

In China, it is even hotter.Although China Central Television's sports channel has monopolized the live broadcast rights of the UEFA Champions League, this does not prevent other media from reporting news related to the UEFA Champions League final, especially the online media, which is not subject to any restrictions and has taken the lead in the news war.

Although many local TV media cannot report on the game, it is still possible to report on the preparations of the two sides.

The Champions League final is held every year, but only this year, the Chinese media paid so much attention to the Champions League final that it almost rivaled the World Cup final.

The reason is very simple, that is because of Murphy.The Champions League final is indeed held every year, but not every year there are Chinese players participating in it, unless Mo Fei can lead the team to the Champions League final every season-of course, anyone with a slightly normal mind will know that this is Impossible, the Champions League final is not a Chinese cabbage on the street, you can have as many as you want...

Needless to say, Mo Fei’s domestic influence in China. Many people who don’t like football and don’t pay attention to football know that there is such a powerful character. A very good professional player. People who don't watch football will think that he is a big star. Otherwise, why do they often hear this name on TV, in newspapers, or even in chats among friends?
In order to promote the UEFA Champions League final with Huaxia players participating, China Central Television specially produced a 5-minute trailer to remind the audience to watch this final and cheer for Huaxia Mo.This short trailer was mainly based on Mo Fei's outstanding performance in this season's Champions League. Once it was broadcast, it was immediately welcomed by fans all over China. In just two days, the hit rate has already exceeded [-] million.

There are also some enthusiastic Chinese netizens who feel that the trailer produced by CCTV is not passionate enough, sensational enough, or enjoyable enough, so they have made various trailers themselves. Of course, they are all the absolute protagonists.

In the past, when Tottenham Hotspur played against those European giants, the fans of China's giants were always particularly entangled. On the one hand, they didn't want the team they supported to lose, and on the other hand, they wanted to see that Mo Fei could perform well.

Now it's the Barcelona fans' turn to struggle.When Real Madrid and Tottenham played last season, Barcelona fans often watched the jokes of Real Madrid fans. This time it was their turn to be watched.This is really "I came out to mess around, and I have to pay it back sooner or later!"...

On the Internet, the discussion about this game is second to none. In the microblogs of various portal websites, "Champions League final" is the first topic keyword. Of course, this name is also the most searched term... …

Many Huaxia fans have been looking forward to this game since a few days ago like children who are looking forward to the New Year. They exchanged on the Internet how to stay up late to watch this focus game, and various preparations for watching the game, such as Watching the football while drinking beer or eating peanuts while watching the football, or whether to wear a Tottenham jersey while watching the football... Of course, watching the football while drinking is the most pleasant, if you feel that watching the football alone is not exciting, it is best It's good to be able to invite friends to go to the bar to watch the Champions League final.

Many bars, video halls, and even movie theaters have seized this fleeting business opportunity and launched the "Consume XXX and Buy XXX" to watch Mo Fei's Champions League final for free... It is said that the merchants who initiated these activities have posted After making a small fortune, all the bars in the early morning of May 5 were full.

For a while, everyone seemed to have returned to the night in 2002 when the Chinese national team made the unprecedented World Cup. The merchants made a lot of money, and the fans were willing to make money.

Could it be that this is considered to have made due contributions to stimulating domestic demand and increasing the gross national product...

China is in full swing, but the Tottenham Hotspur players in Germany are calm.Everyone knows what kind of powerful enemy they are about to face.It's strange to say that when they first found out that the opponent in the final was Barcelona, ​​not only the fans and the media were not optimistic about them, but they themselves were not confident.But once the goal is determined, they are not afraid or worried about anything, just take it seriously and give full play to their strength.

So they are calm.When they know what they are doing and how to work hard, the negative effects of helplessness, panic and self-abandonment are far away from them.Their goal has never been as clear as it is now: beat Barcelona, ​​win the championship, achieve the Triple Crown, and establish a white dynasty belonging to Tottenham!

In the hotel where Tottenham stayed, Redknapp was giving them a tactical meeting.In fact, there is nothing to say. What should be said has been repeated countless times during the daily training for more than a week. They have also watched the video countless times. The figure of every Barcelona player has even penetrated into their dreams. .

Redknapp talked about the instructions that everyone has heard countless times, and announced the tasks and arrangements for the two days. In addition to the press conference and adaptive field training, Redknapp also gave the players They spend half a day free to move around, whether it's going to Munich, admiring the Black Swan Lake, watching a horse race, or sleeping in a hotel with a hooded head, he will not interfere.

Redknapp hoped to take half a day off to relax the players' mentality. His approach made the players very grateful. Although many players came to Germany for the first time, it is good for them to be able to play here. The mood is still very beneficial.So just after Redknapp announced, the players expressed their support for this proposal with warm applause.

After the meeting, Redknapp took the team to the Allianz Arena to adapt to the venue and game ball.This time, the ball used for the Champions League final is the "Decisive Munich" designed by Adidas. Tottenham will directly use this kind of football for training in the past two days, so that the players can form a good foot feel.

The Allianz Arena in Munich is located in the north of Munich. It is easily accessible via the A9 highway. It is a football sanctuary admired by all German fans. There are countless fans who come here to visit and tour on weekdays. The UEFA Champions League final is only one and a half days away. , this place is even more overcrowded, fans from all over the world besieged here.Walking into the infield from the outside of the stadium, the official souvenir sales point built by UEFA has surrounded the stadium. There are a dozen temporary shops selling things related to the game: Tottenham jerseys, Small commodities such as Barcelona's team flag, scarves and team emblems of the two teams.

The arrival of Tottenham Hotspur caused a commotion among many fans, but Tottenham didn't want to communicate with the fans before the game, they walked straight into the Allianz Arena.

The Allianz Arena in Munich is the main stadium of the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich. It is a stadium rebuilt in the north of the city after the plan to change on the basis of the old Munich Olympic Stadium was rejected by the citizens of Munich.The Allianz Arena was officially opened in 2005. It was selected as the opening venue and final venue of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. It can accommodate up to 8000 people. This stadium is known for its popularity. Every team that comes here to fight Bayern Everyone will enjoy the frenzied shouting and booing of the Munich fans, and the terrifying atmosphere at home is comparable to that of the world-famous Anfield Stadium and Wester Stadium.

After 45 minutes of adaptive training in this luxurious and huge stadium, the Tottenham players went to the sidelines to sign autographs and take photos for the fans, and then ended the brief training.

And half an hour after Tottenham Hotspur left, Barcelona also came here to start their first pre-match adaptation training.They and Tottenham held training and press conferences separately. In the previous hour, they had held a press conference. Now that Tottenham have finished training, the stadium is temporarily used by them.

After returning to the hotel, most of the players went back to their rooms to rest, or they were invited to go out for a tour of the city of Munich. In the banquet hall on the first floor, Redknapp and Murphy appeared here to hold Tottenham's pre-match press conference.

When they showed up, there were already hundreds of journalists sitting in the banquet hall, but most of them were journalists from Germany, Britain and China. From the perspective of the media, Tottenham was obviously not as popular as Barcelona.

But even so, when the reporters in the hall saw the Lord appeared, they still held their mobile phones and cameras and took a burst of shots at the two of them. The bright and dazzling lights almost blinded people's eyes.

In fact, this kind of press conference is usually just a reporter's question meeting, which has no substantive significance. At best, it allows reporters to have something to write when they are rushing to write.

At the meeting, Mo Fei repeated to those reporters over and over again something similar to "Barcelona is a powerful team, well-deserved No. 1 in today's football, will there be a lot of pressure to play against them?" What do you think of Barcelona? How confident are you that you can defeat them?" The behavior of such questions is unbearable. Although the attitudes of Chinese and German reporters are still kind, there are also many pro-Barcelona media. They seem to not hear about Tottenham. Mo Fei felt very annoyed that he would not give up if he said in person that he would invest in it.

"I say it again and for the last time, our goal is to beat Barcelona and win the championship! I know they have been strong for too long, so here we are, we are going to kick them off the throne, I think this position should be changed. The team is here to sit down!... So, please don't ask similar questions again, this is completely unnecessary, thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Mo Fei glanced at Redknapp next to him, smiled at him, and passed the microphone over.

Redknapp nodded, took the microphone, and said: "Mo is right, this is our goal! No team enters the final to compete for the runner-up. We may be weaker than Barcelona as a whole. But since they all made it to the final, the chances are equal. I don't think we are worse than them!"

The reporters below were shocked by Mo Fei and Redknapp's remarks. Although logically speaking, it is true that entering the finals did not compete for the runner-up. It's really rare.

Don't they know who their opponent is?Beat Barcelona?Beat this cosmic team that has dominated Europe for five or six seasons?
Is it arrogance or self-confidence?Or maybe it's the first Champions League final, and Tottenham Hotspur are too excited...

These reporters really have a hard time imagining which team in this world dares to say so blatantly that they want to beat Barcelona. No one dared to say it directly... This British team that reached the Champions League final for the first time is really different.

Most of the reporters expressed doubts about Mo Fei's remarks, and they attributed the speeches of these two people to the aspect of psychological warfare.But can this kind of psychological warfare really work against Barcelona, ​​which is used to strong winds and waves?

Mo Fei and Redknapp looked at each other, didn't bother to pay attention to the group of reporters who had doubts etched on their faces, and then ended the press conference with a few innocuous words.
