Chapter 570 Hampton Park Stadium

In mid-May, the weather in the Scottish Highlands is at its brightest. Without the rain in winter and spring, Scotland now only has the bright spring light of early summer and the "spring light" when plaid skirts are floating (it is said that men in Scotland wear plaid skirts. not wearing underwear).

The melodious sound of bagpipes, accompanied by the elegant aroma of thistles in early summer, permeates the whole of Glasgow. There is no tavern door being pushed open on the street, and the smell of roasted malt whiskey is released into the quiet place with a push and a pull. In the streets, the Scots love to brew and drink, especially when there is a game in the Hamptons.

Hampton Park Stadium is a football mecca in the minds of Scots. At the same time, it is also one of the few five-star stadiums in Europe. In the history of modern football, Hampton Park Stadium also has special significance. The stadium's "Queen'sParkFC" (Queen's Park) team is one of the earliest football teams in the world. They have contributed many new rules to modern football, such as free kicks, intermissions and adding crossbars to goalposts. This amateur team raised.

The name of this team's home court at the beginning of its establishment was Hampton Park. Although they advertised that they did not play professional games, they had a large number of fans in Scotland in the 19s. Many fans came to watch.After entering the 80th century, the team finally began to participate in professional games, so they needed a qualified stadium. Later, they established the Hampden Park Stadium in the south of Glasgow, which has been passed down to the present.

In this May of 2002, this season's Champions League final will be held at this legendary stadium.

Real Madrid came to Scotland on May 5. They ended the last round of La Liga the day before. The lineup composed of pure substitutes and young players was defeated by Deportivo Deportivo 13-5 without any surprise. This does not matter to Real Madrid, even the most picky Real Madrid fans will not have an opinion on the team because of the loss of this game. After all, the final of the Champions League will be held on May 16.

Real Madrid, who came to Glasgow, seemed very low-key. Although the outside media had already begun to prepare the headlines of Real Madrid winning the championship, Real Madrid itself seemed surprisingly calm. From the club management to the coaching staff and players, Real Madrid did not go up and down because their opponents were Leverkusen is proud. This not-so-famous team in the Bundesliga has given everyone a lot of surprises. Real Madrid doesn't want to be a stepping stone for them to go all the way.

However, the outside media have some opinions on Real Madrid's low-key. They think it is difficult for Leverkusen to challenge Real Madrid's status, and Real Madrid's low-key also makes them have fewer topics to report. According to the media's point of view, the process of this game should be It was Real Madrid who proudly celebrated winning the championship in advance, and then Leverkusen went black to the end, and finally Real Madrid became the laughing stock of everyone. The reason why the media thinks this way is not because they have opinions on Real Madrid, but because the media knows most of them Neutral fans actually sympathize with the weak. The story of the warrior challenging the dragon is still very popular in the Western world.

Leverkusen came a few days earlier than Real Madrid, and the Bundesliga has four rounds less than La Liga, so the Bundesliga game ended on May 5.

The dark horses of the Bundesliga this season frequently appear. Bayern has been falling all the way since the beginning of the season, and finally only won the third place in the league. Points, won the Bundesliga championship this season, and Leverkusen regrettably won the second place in the league because they lost to Nuremberg in the penultimate round of the game. You must know that they were two points ahead of Dortmund in the previous round Yes, but there is actually no way around it. Leverkusen just played a battle with Manchester United at Old Trafford three days before the team was going to play No.34 three rounds of the league. Cousen was able to advance to the Champions League final, but this greatly affected their state in the league.

"Gentlemen, the opponent is a team with very good strength, so I think everyone should not relax too much, especially pay attention to several young players in their lineup, the midfielder Ballack, Basturk, Lucio in the backcourt, and Berbatov in the front line, these young players are young but have outstanding strength, so don't be careless, let's see who they have defeated? Manchester United, Liverpool , Barcelona, ​​Deportivo, these are not opponents that can be easily dealt with, but Leverkusen have defeated them all, and their strength can be seen from this alone.”

In Real Madrid's residence, Bosque was telling the players what needs to be paid attention to in this game. Regarding the Leverkusen team, Bosque did not dare to be careless. This team is not so easy to deal with.

Liu Han doesn't know much about the opponent's strength, but he thinks it's pretty good for a team with an average age of less than 27 to reach the final.The teams that can break into the knockout rounds of the Champions League are all excellent teams. Their players need not only skills, but experience is also very important. Teams without second-tier or third-tier combat experience will be very difficult in the knockout stage of the Champions League .

On the other side, Leverkusen's head coach Top Muller is also telling his players what needs to be paid attention to in the game. Although he has said it many times in the past few days, Top Muller still repeats Say it again and again.

In Top Müller's narration, there is a Chinese pronunciation that he said many times, that is "Liu". For this Chinese pronunciation, Top Müller is speaking very standard now, and the players of Leverkusen I also remember it very firmly.

This oriental who they are not familiar with is now the most famous star in Europe. Not to mention his worth of 7000 million, just scoring 54 goals in a season is enough to amaze the entire European football world. The important thing is that this tall Oriental has saved Real Madrid at the last moment many times, which is even more concerning.

There are many young players in the Leverkusen lineup. They are already familiar with Liu Han. Although some people are not without envy for Liu Han, they admire this young man more. At the same age, this young man Already on track for his third Champions League title.

"Boys, we already have two runners-up, and I don't want a third." Top Muller finally said to the players in an extremely solemn tone.
