"Oh my God, will the Champions League final be held in such a place?"

When the team's bus turned from the 03 Ring Road into a deserted and deserted road around, everyone on the bus looked at the outside environment in a daze. There was no trace of the city around, and only saw the wilderness, without the slightest bustle of imagination.

This place is not the city of Istanbul at all. It is located in the northwest suburbs of the city. It is said that the government is preparing to expand the city. In addition, the land use in the city is tight, so this five-star stadium was built in such a place that is rarely visited.

The reason for this is a stadium is that it can also hold sports games, with track and field tracks, and facilities for some other sports competitions. It is a comprehensive stadium, which is said to be built to bid for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Outside the stadium is a parking lot built around the stadium, which is very large in scale. Surrounded by such a large parking lot, the entire stadium is a bit like a circular UFO landing on the earth. In the north of the stadium, a helicopter apron was specially opened. It is said that it can accommodate three helicopters to dock at the same time. It is really incredibly advanced.

When the team arrived at Atatuk Stadium, there were some fans of the two teams familiar with the venue outside the scene. When they saw Liverpool arriving at the scene, Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys rushed over.

It is precious to be familiar with the venue and training. Yang Cheng and the players did not interact too much with the fans, but just left a staff member to comfort the players and explain the team's difficulties to them, while the team drove directly into the stadium.

This Atatuk Stadium is a bit like the Turkish bird's nest. All the facilities are top notch, everything is good, the seats are new, the turf has just been replaced, the locker rooms on both sides have been renovated, and it is said that even the grass in the parking lot outside the stadium has just been turned over.

"How much money will it cost?" Paul Bayer found it difficult to understand.

Yang Cheng smiled and patted his shoulder, "You're out, Paul, Istanbul can make a lot of money by relying solely on this final, and in the long run, the driving force of tourism is even more scary. Now almost all Europe is rushing to prepare for the Champions League final!"

The football industry is becoming more and more developed now, and the Champions League is a money-making machine. Who doesn’t want to get a piece of the pie from it?

When Yang Cheng traveled through time in his previous life, FIFA was exposed, but he can guarantee that UEFA's shady scenes will definitely not be less than FIFA, because Inter Milan has the World Cup, but UEFA has the Champions League.

Also, many times, football is actually performing some political and diplomatic tasks, but these things will not be mentioned. Everyone is willing to regard football as simpler so that they can get happiness from it.

"The stadium's inclination is perfect, and the atmosphere of the stadium will be very scary at that time!" Benitez came to observe the stadium.

Although there is a barrier from the track and field track, the stadium is inclined very well, which can ensure that the fans' vision in the stands, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the movements created by the fans in the stands are directly like a waterfall, surging down and sweeping the entire venue.

"There is the battlefield for fans!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

There are barriers in each area, the purpose is to prevent the wall collapse during the Heiser tragedy, and to prevent fans of stands in different areas from entering other areas to protect fans.

Turning around and looking at the stadium, Liverpool players were practicing on the stadium while also familiarizing themselves with the stadium.

For example, wing players often pull to the wing to cross.

The width of each court is different, resulting in different players' crossing strength. If it is relatively wide, the distance from the sideline to the goal should be longer, and the passing ball should be more forceful, but the amount of force required is required to be practiced to know.

What needs to be adapted to is the game balls used in the Champions League finals.

Since the new century, Adidas has fully sponsored the Champions League finals for the match ball, but it was only provided before, but starting this year, they have decided to design the match ball for the Champions League finals every season.

The balls provided in this game were only produced 50, which were specially designed for the game use. Coincidentally, the balls used for the game were made of a red five-pointed star pattern on white background, which was closer to the color of Liverpool.

Yang Cheng slowly walked into the stadium and slapped the back of Ronaldo who had just completed a cross from the left, "How is it? How does the ball feel?"

"It's okay, it's similar to the usual ball use, but the appearance is a bit changed!" Xiao Xiao Luo replied with a smile.

Yang Cheng nodded, walked inside, and asked about the players' situation one by one, especially for the use of the ball and the venue. He hoped to ensure that every player had no worries and could devote himself to the game with all his body and mind.

Since the stadium is a public occasion, Liverpool did not conduct any technical and tactical drills, but just left the stadium after adapting to the stadium.

Even now, no one knows what Yang Cheng's starting lineup is.

…………

…………

On the day before the game, as usual, Yang Cheng took Gerald and Hypia in the car prepared by the organizer and came to Atatuk Stadium again to attend a press conference before the game.

Long before the press conference, last season's champion Porto had sent representatives to deliver the Champions League trophy to Türkiye, which was placed in the middle of the press conference so that everyone could see it.

"It's beautiful, right?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

There were countless reporters flashing the spotlights in their hands, constantly facing the two sides on the stage.

Capello brought Piero and Tacinati, both of Yang Cheng’s old rivals. Everyone lined up at the press conference to take photos, and the focus of this link was undoubtedly the Big Ear Cup.

Gerald and Hypia couldn't help but nod. In fact, it was very ordinary, and the two big ears could even be said to be a bit ugly, but the problem is that when players all over the world are crazy about it, it is absolutely impossible to be ugly.

"According to the more superstitious statement in our football circle, don't touch it when you see it before the game!"

"Why?" Hepia was a little surprised. He really wanted to walk up and touch it.

How many players can have the chance to meet the Big Ear Cup in their lifetime?

"I don't know!" Yang Cheng shrugged and smiled, "This is what Beckenbauer told me. I heard that anyone who touched him would be destined not to have him!"

"There is no scientific basis at all!" Tachinati, who was standing beside him, shook his head, and he directly poked out his hand and touched the two ears of the big ear cup, as gentle as if he was stroking the curves of a peerless beauty.

"Only those teams with insufficient strength will be afraid of superstition. This kind of thing is completely ineffective for us!"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Believe it or not, as for what you said, you are not strong enough, let's talk about it when you really defeat it!"

After a pause, Yang Cheng smiled and said, "At least so far, you and you Juventus are just defeated players in my eyes. What qualifications do you have to say this to me?"

Tachinati was a little unhappy. This was nakedly slapped in the face. If there weren't so many reporters on the scene, he would have to make a good argument with Yang Cheng, but now, behave like a demeanor, don't lose your demeanor.

Seeing Tacinati turn her head, Yang Cheng felt very bored, and these Juventus players were as boring as Capello.

Turning his head, he noticed that Gerald beside him was staring at the Big Ear Cup in a daze, as if he was a little stunned.

Yang Cheng could understand Gerald's mood at this moment, and he must be very uncomfortable.

"I seemed to feel it was calling me!" Gerald murmured to himself.

Daglish, Ian Rush, Alan Hansen... They have all held up this trophy. They are all great players and legendary Liverpool stars. They have all had a Champions League trophy that belongs to them.

Once upon a time, Gerald also longed to have his own Champions League like his predecessors. He was too eager to get it because the Champions League today almost embodies the dreams of generations of Liverpool.

"Then fight for it!" Yang Cheng said with a very instigative nature.

"Ah?" Gerald turned his head, a little confused.

Yang Cheng smiled, "This year is no longer yours, but you can work hard and come back next year. If next year doesn't work, the year after year will be bigger. As long as you clarify your goals, one day, you will definitely get it again!"

After hearing this, Gerald couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. He knew very well that the head coach was convincing him.

"Let's go and sit down!" Yang Cheng looked calm.

Gerald and Hypia, who were following him, seemed a little nervous. No wonder, this was their first time, but Yang Cheng had experienced this kind of situation four times, so he was naturally quite experienced in dealing with it.

Like him is Juventus' captain Piero, who came over to greet Gerald and Hypia.

"I wish you good luck tomorrow, buddy!" Piero said to Hypia with a smile, and then he regretted that Gerald missed the final. The Zebra Prince looked elegant and relaxed, without the tension at all as before the competition.

"He is like our leader. This is the fourth time he has participated in such an occasion!" Haipia looked into the distance, and Yang Cheng walked towards Capello, obviously saying hello to Dashu Ka, and he also looked relaxed.

"Of course, I've experienced so many times!" Gerald muttered, "but he was not lucky. He reached the final three times and got it once. He lost both times in the last two. Our boss won every battle."

"So, they will still lose this time, it's our turn to have a fuck!" Hypia looked at the Big Ear Cup with her hands ready to go.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch her, Gerald grabbed her hard, "Hey, Sammy, be careful of your hand!"

"Touch!" Hepia is not a superstitious person either.

"When it belongs to us, you can touch it any way you want, or you can consider taking it home directly, but now..." Gerald looked serious, "You can't touch it!"

Hepia smiled bitterly. He had a kind of helplessness that a beautiful woman took off her clothes and lay on the bed and waved at you, but you couldn't get into it. "I really can't tell, you are so superstitious!"

"It's not superstitious..." Gerald also looked at the Big Ear Cup deeply, "I'm just a little scared."

Fear, this is a very terrible infectious disease.

Especially when you have worked hard along the way and finally reached the end, you have to make a choice between the two intersections, between heaven and hell, everyone will be afraid, panic, and nervous.

"This is a very important game, we will definitely win no matter what. We hope to be the first to score in the game, bring back an epic victory, return to Turin, and go to history!"

In the following reporter's question session, Capello took the lead in expressing his high expectations for this game.

"Liverpool is a very distinctive team. They have an outstanding head coach, so they play very smart in terms of technical and tactical skills and are very suitable for Liverpool's team characteristics, but I think they have not reached the top level in Europe and they are not qualified to win the Champions League."

"What kind of tactics will we play in the game?" Capello laughed in response to the reporter's question, "We will play at our normal level in the game. I told my players that as long as we play normally, Liverpool will have no way to deal with us!"

When he saw Capello seemingly turning a blind eye to the Liverpool players, Gerald and Hypia were both angry, which was too contempt for people.

But Yang Cheng secretly gestured to them, indicating that they should not be fooled.

This guy is clearly trying to irritate Liverpool because he is sure that Liverpool players are young, young and energetic, so he deliberately wants to say this and deliberately stimulate Liverpool.

Whoever is serious about such remarks will lose!

In addition to Capello, Piero also understands the head coach's idea. When he was interviewed, he smiled and predicted this game, and he thought Juventus would definitely win.

"We are here for victory, and we will actively strive for the result we want!"

As the leading star of Juventus, he must be asked about the Heisel tragedy that year. Piero said that he was not deeply impressed by this tragedy.

"I was still young at that time. I watched this game with some friends at home, but then something happened, and my father didn't let us watch it, and asked us to play football. When I grew up, I knew what was going on."

"But I think it's been 20 years since things happened, and we should look forward instead of being obsessed with the past."

Of course, Yang Cheng is bound to be asked about this. Although the Chinese have never experienced it, he has lived in Liverpool for two years and is very clear about the Liverpool people's thoughts.

"The Heisel tragedy is a shocking and painful tragedy, and it also brings indelible pain to Liverpool, but I believe that all this will only make all Liverpool people more united. We will concentrate on the stadium. We will turn the suffering and pain brought by the tragedy into our motivation, so that we can devote ourselves to the game and defeat our opponents!"

Yang Cheng seemed confident about Juventus, "I know Juventus' weaknesses, I know how to use these weaknesses to defeat them. I have made sufficient preparations and plans. I believe that my players can defeat their opponents on the court."

"Yes, the whole world is not optimistic about us because we have to lose Steven in this game, but we will not give up on fighting because of this. I believe that in the spirit of Liverpool, we have never given up on these two words."
