Chapter 620 A leopard loses both arms, it does not mean it is not in danger(1/2)

Ribery's father is not the only one who watches the game?

Almost all the families of Leverkusen players came over, and the club gave each player five tickets to each player in the first team, taking care of everyone. However, Zheng Zhi had more tickets. He got 30 tickets and gave them all, and almost the entire group of relatives and friends came.

When Manchester United played the final with Bayern last year, he invited five friends who went abroad to watch the Champions League final. He was the audience at that time. Three days later, he was one of the protagonists, and he was going to stand on the French Stadium as the main core of Leverkusen to face Real Madrid.

In another quiet hotel not far from the training ground, Zheng Zhi booked the entire hotel, specifically for living for relatives and friends. In addition to relatives, Li Weifeng, Li Yin, and Yang Chen all came, including food and accommodation, and free to watch the Champions League final. Who wouldn't come? Many teammates in the national team wanted to come, but unfortunately Zheng Zhi didn't have enough tickets to satisfy everyone.

However, Chinese fans are different. They began to seek tickets to the Champions League finals after Leverkusen reached the Champions League finals.

The French Stadium in Paris can accommodate 80,000 people, but the final sale of tickets was said to have reached 90,000, and it was sold out three weeks ago, making it hard to get a ticket.

In the announcement of the Leverkusen Club, fans were reminded that the club prohibits the transfer of tickets under any circumstances, and the club will crack down on any fans who resell tickets through unofficial channels. Fans who have purchased tickets but are sure to be unable to watch the game can contact the official ticket office, and the club will apply for a full refund for them.

But, what is the use of such a measure?

Leverkusen received a total of 30,000 tickets, but it was still far from enough. There were about 200,000 people in the entire Leverkusen area, but only about 25,000 fans were able to buy tickets, and the remaining 5 were missing.

Bistro said the truth, "Chinese fans took away 5,000 of them, which means that 5,000 Chinese fans will arrive at the French Stadium to watch the game. Of course, some tickets may flow back into the hands of European fans. When Leverkusen started selling tickets on the first day, many scalpers would cruising around every day. They used various means to buy tickets, and even took away the tickets they had already bought. Now, if you want to buy a Champions League ticket, it will cost 1,000 pounds. This is not an exaggeration. Now, people are selling such expensive tickets everywhere in Paris. But even so, there are still many fans who are willing to take out their money bags to buy tickets, especially some Chinese fans who come from the East. They are so rich."

Of course, some Chinese fans are angry at this behavior. Some international students studying in Europe are reluctant to spend so much money to buy a ticket.

The day before the competition, when Fengchen came over from the English Channel on a steamer and wanted to buy a ticket in front of the Chinese scalpers, he scolded him on the spot when he heard the price.

"It's so unethical!"

"Are you Chinese?"

“1,000 pounds!”

"This is my living expenses for two months!"

How depressed, how desperate, how angry.

"No wonder the most important thing to be careful when going abroad is the Chinese. Look at your ugly faces, bah!"

The international students looked contempt.

"I didn't force you to buy it, so why don't you have money to come and watch the ball? Wouldn't you sit at home and watch live TV?" Of course, the scalper was unhappy. Selling tickets is a business, and they didn't force them to buy it. They also recycled tickets at high prices. Why did they turn into ugly faces when they got to them?

"Forget it, this kind of person is just like this, who specializes in cheating on the Chinese people. They have no patriotism at all. We can watch it on the big screen outside today."

"If they have the ability, they should buy tickets for Real Madrid early~"

...

...

On Wednesday morning, when Waller went down to the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, he felt something was wrong.

"how?"

"Where are people?"

"Have you not come down yet?"

Volal was confused because there were only Ronaldinho and Barack, who did not play in the restaurant, were dining around the dining table, laughing happily, but I couldn't count on them. None of the other players playing the game were seen!

"Oh no, did they not sleep last night and couldn't get up today?" Waller thought of this possibility and turned to ask the assistant teacher beside him.

"I don't know much, either."

"But it's impossible for everyone to do this?"

The teaching assistant is also not clear.

"Boss,"

Barack suddenly said loudly: "They all went to the training ground early,"

"They can't wait anymore, they've all run through the training ground."

Hiss ~

So that's the case?

Waller looked at each other with the assistant coach and immediately felt relieved.

It is understandable. Isn’t it the same when I represented Marseille in 1993 when I faced AC Milan? I didn’t sleep all night the day before the game, and I couldn’t sleep for four hours. Finally, I just sat on the windowsill and watched the stars in Munich all night. I fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and finally missed the last training class.

Now, aren’t they very similar to themselves?

Hopefully, the result is good. I can defeat the arrogant AC Manchester United that year, and I should also defeat the Champions League overlord Real Madrid this year.

A trace of curve was slightly drawn from the corner of his mouth, he sat down quietly and began to enjoy a comfortable breakfast.

On the Paris FC training ground, Leverkusen players have already been training. Under the leadership of Zheng Zhi, everyone came up and ran 6 kilometers before they conducted basic training. Today, they will definitely not do any high-intensity training. They just keep in shape and suppress their excitement until the arrival of 8 o'clock tonight.

The lineup has been decided, and there is nothing different from the arrangements of Waller a few days ago. Kovac returned to the position of the main right-back. The only change was that Rib and Ponte entered the middle at the same time. Waller still chose a more secure 451 formation instead of 442.

In order to ensure adequate sleep and physical fitness, Woller drove everyone back to the hotel to rest at 10 a.m. and did not practice as usual. Although many reporters followed them, Woller never responded until three o'clock in the afternoon when he brought Zheng Zhi to the pre-match press conference.

"Rudy,"

"You can really bear it. We have interviewed Boske at least five times in the past few days, and you are not going to speak until today. Do you want to try and delay for another half a day and wait until the Champions League final is over before being interviewed?"

"Ha, if you want this, then I'm happy to cooperate with your work." Waller smiled, and after the beard on his face shook, he looked a bit like Hong Kong star Lin Zixiang, even with his hairstyle.

"Don't joke, Rudy, have your list settled?"

"It's decided, but I don't plan to tell you at this time that we need to keep the roster until half an hour before the start of the game, and by that time, you'll know it."

Waller often does this, and everyone gets used to it, hiding every time, leaving the list at the end.

"Then is this game an offense or a defense?"

"The Italian said, the defense won the championship, didn't he?"

No nutrition!

The Spanish reporter squeezed away the German reporter and asked in the jam:

"How to deal with Champions League No. 1 scorer Raul?"

"Raul is an outstanding genius, but we do have a way to deal with him. I think football is a 22-player game, so we are not afraid of a player. As long as we play the whole, everything will be natural."

Still no nutrition!

The answer is not interesting either.

The Spanish reporter twisted his head towards Zheng Zhi.

"Zheng, as long as you play, do you know that you will become the youngest player in the history of the Champions League final?"

"ah?"

"I really didn't notice this," Zheng Zhi was a little surprised. He was 20 years old after three months, but... this was wrong.

"But I think you're wrong. The youngest player in the Champions League final is definitely not me."

“It’s Frank Ribery.”

He pronounced Ribery's name, but he burst into tears. He remembered that the record of the youngest player in the Champions League final was maintained by his opponent Raul Gonzalez. If Ribery hadn't, he would have created a new history himself. Unfortunately... it was such a pity.

The Spanish reporter was obviously stunned. From beginning to end, he really didn't think about Ribery at all, just thinking about Zheng Zhi. Who would have thought there was Ribery?

French journalists were right next to them, and they immediately cheered, "Yes, the youngest player to play should be Frank Ribery,"

"It's us French!"

The French reporter became proud instantly, and he looked like a rooster. While everyone was talking about Zheng Zhi, they finally found the topic. Ribery gave the French a lot of face.

Of course, Yan Qiang from "Sports Weekly" could not make them laugh too happily, so he immediately shouted out in English.

"Although Ribery may be the youngest player in the Champions League, Zheng Zhi may also be the youngest player in the Champions League? As long as he scores goals in the game, he has also created a new history."

Wow ~

The crowd below was in an uproar again.

This is indeed a record.

"But if Ribery scored too, wouldn't Ribery have such a record set? Haha, Frank Ribery has a better advantage."

The Spanish reporter shook his head, "As long as Real Madrid wins, what's the point of whoever you get this record?"

"You are too confident. The game is not over yet. Don't be slapped in the face by your own words."

The words of Spanish journalists instantly aroused dissatisfaction among journalists from Germany, China, France and even Brazil. Almost all the reporters here support Leverkusen because there are no Spanish players in the Leverkusen team.

At this moment, Zheng Zhi was thinking about what Yan Qiang said just now, the youngest goal scorer in the Champions League final? This record is indeed possible... Whether it is Ribery or himself, as long as he can score a goal.

"Zheng, as far as I know, this is the most challenging game you have ever encountered this season. You have never lacked so many helpers around you?"

Zheng Zhi withdrew his thoughts and looked at the reporter who asked the question.

"What does it mean to lack so many helpers?"

"We still have 11 people playing."

"My helpers have never been missing, not many, not many, not many, they are always there. I know what you want to express, but you are wrong. In such a key game, technical things seem less important, but will, determination, confidence, and luck are more decisive. I believe that all teammates will perform the most beautifully."

"I really hope Real Madrid thinks so too, if that happens, we will laugh secretly."

Could it be that Real Madrid still dares to be proud?
