Mercedes-Benz luxury bus slowly arrived at the Rome Olympic Stadium.

Through the car windows, everyone discovered that the most surprising thing here is people, everywhere and densely packed people.

I believe that if a photo is taken from mid-air at this moment, it must be a photo. The people on the ground are as small and dense as ants, and very amazing photos. Almost all fans are wearing two different colors of jerseys, one is the red and blue of Barcelona, ​​and the other is the white of defending champion Tottenham Hotspur.

Another striking thing is that more than 2,000 policemen gathered at the scene, all of whom were stationed near the Olympic Stadium. In addition, Rome City has banned any beer from 48 hours before the game and implemented a ban on alcohol.

Not only that, in order to ensure safety and effectively curb scalpers, all tickets must be made in real-name order.

The tickets for this season's Champions League final are specially designed. The tickets have special chips that record personal information, including names and ID numbers, and all electronic codes. If all fans want to enter the stadium, they must present the tickets for security personnel to scan, and at the same time show their passport or valid identity certificate for verification.

This work began after Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona reached the finals. Except for a very small number of sponsors who have special tickets in their hands, all the others are real-name.

Another very important factor in why UEFA attaches so much importance to the security measures in this final is that this final attracted the attendance of politicians and political and business celebrities from both the United Kingdom and Spain.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, London Mayor, Councillor and British royal family members will come to watch the game, and Spain even attended the King, Prime Minister, Catalonian government prime minister and political leaders. Moreover, there are countless political and business celebrities from both countries who arrived in Rome early.

"This will be the most enjoyable Champions League final in recent years, because Tottenham Hotspur, who plays offensive football, meets Barcelona with delicate skills, and the match between the two teams is enough for everyone to enjoy the best and best football match in the world."

The live broadcast of the game actually started long before the players of the two teams arrived at the scene. The fans also entered the field early, and the organizing committee also arranged a series of warm-up programs to set off the atmosphere of the game.

But soon, the eyes of fans all over the world and the attention of fans sitting in the stadium were broadcast live on the TV screen and the game screen. The black Belgian Van Hul double-decker bus that Tottenham Hotspur arrived at the scene. The bus drove directly into the inside of the stadium, but countless reporters had already gathered here.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, Mr. Ye Qiu, is it true that Messi will announce his transfer to Manchester City after this game?"

"Mr. Ye Qiu, what do you think about Messi's father's private meeting with Barcelona executives?"

"It has been rumored that Tottenham Hotspur will sell off the big-name stars in the team for the new stadium. What do you think?"

"There are many rumors that you will sell Tottenham Hotspur, but you will sell arbitrage among several big-name superstars in the team before. Do you have any personal response to this?"

"Ribery, I heard that Real Madrid is going to pay you a sky-high transfer fee, and Zidane also kindly invited you to join Real Madrid. Can you personally respond to this rumor?"

"Messi, I heard that Manchester City and Barcelona want to join you. Do you have any personal choice? Will you be under pressure to play Barcelona in this game? Have you ever thought about letting go?"

All the reporters at the scene seemed very excited, but Tottenham Hotspur was the first to walk down from Ye Qiu. After that, the team walked off the bus one after another. No one spoke along the way, and no one was interviewed. Even if they were handed to the front of the microphone, they would block it and then continue to move forward.

It is obvious that Ye Qiu issued a ban before the game, not only to the players, but also to everyone in the club. Except for the press officer Robert Milson, who clarified the truth about Jorge's appointment with Bach, no one was interviewed. There was even a reporter with the team who violated Tottenham Hotspur's rules and interviewed Tottenham Hotspur players and asked about Messi. Later, the team found out that the reporter was immediately expelled from the hotel.

I heard that the reporter is also from Spain and has a good relationship with Miguel Kiko.

"Good evening, welcome to the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy. What we are now broadcasting for you is the final of the 20UR to 2009 season of the UEFA Champions League.

"The two teams in this final are Barcelona from Spain and Premier League upstart Tottenham Hotspur from England. By the way, Barcelona's head coach is Josep Guardiola, the team's legendary star Josep Guardiola, while Tottenham Hotspur's head coach is Ye Qiu, the world-famous Ye Qiu.

"Both sides have made sufficient preparations before this game. Even though we still can't figure out the starting lineup of both sides, there were quite a few media saying that Barcelona may adopt a stable game strategy in this game, because in terms of offensive ability, Tottenham Hotspur is definitely the best in the world football world

"If we look at the past results, Tottenham Hotspur's performance is undoubtedly better. They defeated Bayern Munich with a big score, then defeated Real Madrid with a big score, defeated Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League with a big score, and then eliminated the same national team Manchester United with talent in the semi-finals and reached the final."

"The whole process Tottenham Hotspur showed strong attack power, and in the past this team was a bit of a heavy offense and light on defense, but judging from the performance this season, Tottenham Hotspur's defensive level has indeed improved considerably, which mainly comes from the maturity of Thiago Silva and Kompany, as well as the joining of Ukrainian star Ziglinsky."

"As early as the past three days, the New York Times has launched a special edition of the Champions League for three consecutive days, and invited five world-renowned football reporters, including Bildman, editor-in-chief of French newspapers, Segulala, deputy editor-in-chief of Spanish Marca, etc. They are all famous football experts in the industry. In the analysis, almost everyone is optimistic that Tottenham Hotspur can defend the title. The reason is very simple. They think that Tottenham Hotspur's offense and defense are better than Barcelona."

"But there are also many professionals who believe that if Tottenham Hotspur is allowed to attack and Barcelona takes a defensive counterattack to score, this is also a very dangerous tactic, because Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability is almost no team that can defend, so a considerable number of people think that Barcelona should take the initiative to attack Tottenham Hotspur's defense line, and the earlier they score, the better the better the goal is to be scored.

"Everyone knows that this is a very difficult choice. To attack or defend, there is a great crisis in how Guardiola chooses. On the entire tactical board chart of Barcelona, ​​their biggest weakness is undoubtedly in the frontcourt. They need a stable player who can hold the ball, just like Tottenham Hotspur's Messi."

While the commentator was analyzing, the players of the two teams walked into the stadium one after another and started the last pre-match warm-up. After that, they would return to the locker room and carry out the final pre-match preparations.

"This game can be said to have attracted countless people from all walks of life to the scene. Not only the King of Spain, but also the Prime Minister and other senior political officials, but also many members of the British royal family, including Prince Charles and his two children, such as the British Prime Minister, the Mayor of London, etc.."

"UEFA President Platini, Barcelona star Cruyff, German football star Bekenbauer and other football star also appeared on the rostrum. As early as before the game, Cruyff said in an interview that Barcelona's biggest chance of winning is that they must play this good start. If they start well, they will win the game."

"Before the game, Premier League coach Ferguson also said in an interview that it doesn't matter what kind of tactics Barcelona adopts. The important thing is not to always think about using a rhythm or playing football to defeat Tottenham Hotspur, because this team is very adaptable and the changes on the spot are very targeted."

"There are also many people who give Barcelona a move, believing that ball possession is Barcelona's most powerful weapon. Barcelona should try to control the ball at its own feet to avoid being Tottenham Hotspur getting more ball possession, because Tottenham Hotspur has liked to keep the team's ball possession rate at around 55% in some past games. If Tottenham Hotspur's ball possession rate can be knocked out, it will undoubtedly provide Barcelona with more machines

Soon, the live broadcast footage captured. Ye Qiu, who was standing next to the visiting team coach's seat, was waving to the people in the lower stands through a circle of tracks and athletics track. The camera soon captured the stands and found that he was greeting his two children. At the same time, Ye Qiu's wife Huang Chu, family, and Eliza Moon, who came from the United States, were also sitting in the row of stands. The two children were waving vigorously while holding the Tottenham Hotspur's flag.

"Two very cute children, aren't they? They let us see Ye Qiu's side as a father," said the live commentator with a smile. After all, Ye Qiu rarely exposes his children to the camera, so this is a rare opportunity.

After the warm-up before the game, everyone returned to the locker room and began to wipe their bodies and change clothes to prepare for the game.

Ye Qiu leaned against the door of the locker room and did not allow anyone to enter or exit. Then he swept his eyes at the locker room and watched everyone change clothes or make the final pre-match preparations. Many people were obviously adjusting their mentality.

When encountering such an important game, who dares to say that he will not be nervous?

As the head coach who has been coaching for many years, Ye Qiu is nervous every time he appears, because no one can guarantee before the game whether his tactics in this game can work. Even if it is a game with a huge difference in strength, it cannot guarantee that, because this not only tests your tactics, but also tests the degree of performance of your players.

It's like a singer who has held countless concerts. Although he knows every song of his own, can he guarantee that he can sing well every time he goes on stage? Or, does it have no flaws?

Obviously not, so they will be nervous. Sometimes, the more experience you have, the greater your pressure will be.

Of course, experience and mentality maturity can help you resist stress well.

Everyone finished their work, put on their jerseys, leg guards, and sat one by one in front of the closet in the locker room.

"In the Champions League final, we had an experience at this time last year, and it was an extremely painful lesson" Ye Qiu waited until everyone was cleaned up before walking to the middle of the locker room. "Last year, we were nervous in the first half, and Manchester United scored three goals in one breath."

Many people present have experienced that final, and they are still impressed by it. I believe that as long as those who have experienced that game will never forget the experience of that final in their lifetime, from pain to surprise, from despair to miracle. The process seems beautiful after thinking about it afterwards, but if you have another choice, you will say without hesitation.

The reason is very simple, the first half was definitely a disaster

"I believe that no one will know better than you how to play such a game, so my requirements for all of you are very simple. Just follow our usual tactical style, follow our pre-match plan, treat it normally and play your own level, that's enough."

"I don't care what kind of tactics Barcelona will adopt after the opening, whether they want to attack or defend, in short, it's the same for us. We have to do our best to play this start. This requires each of you to throw away all the complex thoughts in my heart, devote yourself to this game, and maintain 100% concentration."

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu walked towards the tactical board of the locker room, which only had the names of two Barcelona players written on it.

Xavi and Iniesta

"Just as I said before the game, we must try our best to cut off the connection between these two players during the game. For them, the defensive strategy we adopt is to limit, not press, never pounce, but to force them to pass back, delay their ball path advancement speed, and make it difficult for these two players to form a response."

Ye Qiu used a pen to draw a vertical line between Xavi and Iniesta and cut them apart.

"There is another player worth noting, that is Sedo Keita. I know this player very well. If Guardiola lets him play in this game, be careful that he takes the ball at the front of the penalty area. His long shot and back-shot offensive ability are excellent. If this is ignored, he will teach us a painful lesson."

"I can't guess how the starting trident in Barcelona will be configured in this game, but no matter how they configure it, one thing cannot be changed, that is, they lack a stable and powerful ball-taking point in the frontcourt, unless they are willing to push Iniesta to the frontcourt, but in this way, the distance between Iniesta and Xavi is too large. Whether the team can still control the ball is a very questionable thing. We will change according to the situation of the game at that time."

Everyone nodded constantly after hearing Ye Qiu's words. One of the important reasons why Barcelona's ball control is excellent is that Xavi and Iniesta and Busquets behind him form a powerful midfield ball control combination. In addition to Pique and Mascherano on the defense line, the entire midfield and backcourt can form an effective ball control team.

Iniesta advanced to the frontcourt to play as a winger, which has happened in the past. Iniesta's forward move indeed gave Barcelona's frontcourt points to get the ball and get the ball, but there were problems in the middle and backcourts, which directly affected the team's ball control.

This is also an important reason why Barcelona's offensive ability is not excellent this season. There is a lack of a stable and effective goal-catching point before, that is, Messi in Ye Qiu's previous life. With this point and no such point, offense is completely different.

Barcelona has been constantly adjusting and running-in in the past two years, and even after Guardiola came on stage, the team's style has undergone tremendous changes. A very important reason is that because of Ye Qiu's appearance, Messi's absence from Barcelona directly led to a huge change in Barcelona's team's style.

This is a bit like Apple. Because of Ye Qiu's appearance, Ye Zi Technology has seized a lot of resources in advance, including a series of innovative applications and experiences of smartphones, which makes it difficult for followers to break the shadow of Ye Zi Technology, either following the path paved by Ye Zi Technology, or developing it yourself.

So even now, Apple's mobile phones have not been described below, and tablets are the same, because the most core multi-touch and other series of patents are captured by Yezi Technology. It is difficult for Apple to make a breakthrough, but the talent loss is quite serious. Many talents have switched to Yezi Technology, and of course the most famous one is Jonathan Ivey.

This is always the case in this world. The pioneers can eat delicious meat, and the followers often don’t even have bones and can only drink some soup.

Of course, Ye Qiu never felt that he had anything to be proud of and complacent because he had the advantage of time travelers, so he had always been working very hard and diligently to strengthen his own level, and strive to continue this advantage for a longer time.

One of the very important principles is that you cannot understand everything, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. Leave professional things to the most professional people.
