When he was drawing lots in the quarterfinals, Chu Zhongtian began to look forward to reaching the finals. Because he has many friends in Germany, the Allianz Stadium in Munich left him many beautiful memories, and his Hoffenheim career was almost closely linked to this stadium.

Chu Zhongtian knew that he would meet many old friends at the Allianz Stadium, but he didn't expect to see it at the airport, so he was a little surprised.

The fans were also very excited to see Chu Zhongtian appear. They waved the poster in their hands and shouted Chu Zhongtian's name loudly, and welcomed him back to Germany.

Facing such enthusiastic fans, how could Chu Zhongtian turn a blind eye and walk over like this? So he found head coach Mourinho, asked him for leave, and signed the fans.

Mourinho looked at the blue fans in the direction he pointed, nodding and letting go.

Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to the team and walked to the group of Hoffenheim fans.

These fans seemed very excited. One of them was a fat man who said to Chu Zhongtian in a slightly trembling voice: "Happy, welcome back to Germany, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian did not see an old acquaintance like Aunt Koniriya among these people. He thought this should be Hoffenheim's fan organization in Munich. Hoffenheim just promoted to the Bundesliga and there was a fan organization in Munich. In recent years, it has been growing and growing, and the number of people has surged.

"Thank you for coming to the airport to welcome us!" Chu Zhongtian greeted them in German.

Some fans gave him the prepared Hoffenheim jersey and posters for him to sign.

The fat man who first greeted Chu Zhongtian did not do this, but just talked to him: "Come on in the final, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian was signing someone and looked up at the fat fan who was talking. He didn't know this person, but he still smiled and nodded politely to express his gratitude.

"You can definitely beat Barcelona! Right?" The fat man seemed to like this topic very much. "You were able to beat Barcelona when you were in Hoffenheim. Now you have changed to a stronger Real Madrid. Beating Barcelona should not be a problem, right?"

Chu Zhongtian handed back the jersey with the signed name to the fans, and then said to the fat man: "This is not good. The score cannot be predicted for football matches. But... I will work hard to win."

The fat man waved his fist: "You must do it! I have confidence in you. There is only one person in the world who can defeat Barcelona!"

Chu Zhongtian was quite surprised where this fan's confidence in him came from and was able to say such affirmative words. But he still expressed his gratitude for his confidence.

Of course he didn't know the fat man had ever had Hoffenheim and his story.

That is just one of the stories of millions of ordinary fans, and such stories happen every day.

After signing the autographs for these enthusiastic fans who came to welcome him, Chu Zhongtian turned around and caught up with the team.

Fritz Abel looked at Chu Zhongtian's back. He did not fall in love with Hoffenheim because of Chu Zhongtian, but he changed because of Chu Zhongtian. Now that Chu Zhongtian has gone to Real Madrid, he has not become a Real Madrid fan because of this. He is still a Hoffenheim fan. Although Hoffenheim is no longer as brave as he used to be, he is very happy that there are more and more like-minded companions around him.

Thanks to Chu Zhongtian for all this.

What he said just now was not just to gain favorable feelings. He really believed that Chu Zhongtian had a way to deal with Barcelona and lead Real Madrid to defeat his mortal enemy and win the championship.

Come on, Chu!

※※※"…At 10:45 this morning, a flight from Madrid, the Spanish capital, landed at Munich International Airport. One of the participating teams in this Champions League final, Real Madrid arrived in Munich, three hours ahead of their opponents…”

There was noon sports news on TV, which was about Real Madrid's arrival in Munich.

As the venue of this Champions League final, the German media is also very concerned about this final. Although there are no teams from Germany among the teams participating in the Champions League final... At least there are two international players from Germany and a player who has achieved success in Germany.

So this game is still worthy of attention from the German media.

Ozil and Khdira are German internationals playing for Real Madrid, while Chu Zhongtian is considered a superstar trained in the Bundesliga.

Rangnick moved his eyes away from the TV and returned to the person opposite him.

"Sorry, Horst, what did you say just now?"

Horst Helt, who was sitting opposite, repeated what he had just said helplessly: "I mean Schalke 04 Club can guarantee your power and status in the team, you can get almost the same freedom as when you were in Hoffenheim, and you can form a team based on your ideas... As long as you want, Schalke 04's door is always open to you, Ralph."

Rangnick smiled.

Chu Zhongtian was introducing him on the TV opposite him: "... Chu transferred from Ligue 1 Metz Club to Hoffenheim Club in the Bundesliga in the summer of 2008. At that time, Hope spent 30 million euros in the club's historical record for him, and it turned out that the 30 million he spent was very worth it. Hope and Rangnick bet right, and their team then won a league championship and a Champions League championship in three seasons. This is a miracle for Hoffenheim, who was an amateur team in the southern German league a few years ago... and Chu is the key figure of the rural miracle... Look at Hoffenheim this season, after Chu left the team and turned to Real Madrid, their league was finally ranked eighth, and he did not even get the qualification to participate in the Europa League..."

Helt noticed that Rangnick was distracted again. He realized that the TV behind him was probably the culprit, so he turned around and watched. After watching, he turned around and said to Rangnick: "I know it is not easy to find you a Chu again, but in Schalke 04, you have the chance to start over. You should know that we have had a very good cooperation in Schalke 04..."

Rangnick told Helt: "This is no small matter, I think I need time to think about it, Horst."

"Of course, of course. Of course you have to consider it. This is not a trivial matter..." Haleta agreed, but he added, "But you better inform me of your decision earlier, knowing that... time is not waiting for anyone, the new season is about to begin."

For the players, the season has just ended, now is vacation time, and the new season is still far away. But for the club's senior management and head coaches, the new season is about to begin.

"I will, I think... after watching the Champions League final, I will give you an answer, Horst."

Today, Helt came to see him for the Schalke 04 Club, hoping to coach Schalke 04. He was indeed a little moved. He first coached for six seasons at Hoffenheim, which is the longest record he has coached for a team. He led this team to the peak of his coaching career, and won both domestic league championships and Champions League championships. What else can you do when you stay in this team? Defending these two championships is too difficult.

Rangnick felt that it was time to start a cycle again, just as Chu Zhongtian said when he left Hoffenheim. A cycle was over and a new cycle was coming.

But he still hopes that he can think carefully, at least let him make a decision after watching the Champions League final. Maybe he can find inspiration in Chu Zhongtian?

※※※The league has ended, and Hoffenheim has only been newly built and put into use for a season of high-tech training base. It is quiet and very quiet.

However, in Hoffenheim town near the team's former training ground, tourists can still be seen.

Because of the success of Hoffenheim, this little-known town has become a tourist attraction. Many tourists and reporters flock to this town to explore why such a town with a permanent population of only 3,000 people can cultivate a kingly army that defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final and won the European Champions League Cup.

The tourism boom brought to this town by the Champions League has not subsided.

Konilia brought a wave of tourists to her house. The chimney was blue and white, and the walls were covered with Hoffenheim players' houses. It has become a scene in Hoffenheim town and is a must-pass stop for those who come here to visit.

Koniriya opened the door to welcome tourists to visit.

The house was hung with photos of the owner of the house and the Hoffenheim stars, as well as jerseys signed by the Hoffenheim stars.

Many decorations and gadgets in the home carry traces of Hoffenheim Football Club. It can be seen that the owner of this home really loves this team very much.

Koniriya introduced the origin of these photos and signatures to them one by one... This is a photo of the club's owner Mr. Dietma Hope coming to his home to find his childhood footprints - another reason why this house is so famous is that it was once the place where Mr. Dietma Hope was born and lived in childhood.

This is a photo of the club's legendary coach Rangnick when he first came to the team. At that time, Hoffenheim was still struggling in the southern German league. But since then, Hope's team has begun to have a big dream... There is a very eye-catching photo of Hoffenheim defeating Barcelona at Wembley Stadium and winning the European Champions League team.

In the photos, it is easy for everyone to find the captain Chu Zhongtian who holds the trophy in the center.

A tourist pointed to the photo and asked: "Chu left the team after winning the European Champions League. Is this a blow to you?"

Koniriya nodded: "If I say no, you will definitely think I'm lying. Yes, his departure is our loss."

"How many people turned to resent him after he left the team?"

"I don't know... there is no such person around me anyway." Koniriya shrugged.

"Then why didn't we see him on your exterior wall?" Some tourists pointed out this. On the exterior wall of Koniriya's house, there was a picture of winning the championship. All the Hoffenheim origins on it, but they just didn't see Chu Zhongtian.

If this is true, then this Koniriya is lying, at least she herself is the one who hates Chu Zhongtian the most.

When Koniriya heard the tourist's questioning, she was not angry, but turned around and walked to the gate, then waved to everyone to come out.

After everyone came out, she closed the door from outside. When the door and the door frame were combined, a complete image of Chu Zhongtian holding the European Champions League and cheering with his mouth appeared vividly in front of everyone.

The dynamic painting method and bright colors were like Chu Zhongtian would jump out of the middle of this door at any time.

Facing such a beautiful door, some of the tourists couldn't help but exclaim.

Koniriya introduced to the tourists with a proud look: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Hoffenheim's most legendary figure - Chu!!"

※※Real Madrid arrived in Munich three hours ahead of their archenemy. Three hours later, the entire Barcelona team also arrived at Munich International Airport by flight.

At the airport, this team is also popular with many media and fans. You should know that Barcelona also has many fans in Germany because they play football very beautifully and gorgeously.

Some media lamented that this Champions League final may be the confrontation between the two most popular teams in the world today. Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the best fans in the world. This confrontation is a real "peak showdown".

Pique summarized the past season in an interview at the airport.

"We lost the league championship, it's no big deal. We have won three in a row. What I want to say is that only the Champions League final is the most important. As long as we can beat them and win the Champions League, this season can still be called perfect!"

Pique's words were then ridiculed by Madrid media: "Those who have lost the King's Cup and League championships in a row are so embarrassed to say that this season is perfect? ​​What is perfect? ​​If Real Madrid can defeat Barcelona in the final and win the European Cup, this season can be said to be perfect."

"I suggest Pique read more and study carefully what 'perfect' is."

The reporters always scold people very sharply.

If you talk nonsense, let alone Pique, all Barcelona players are not matched by these reporters.

But they have a way to shut up the Madrid media, which is to beat the Real Madrid they support in the final and then humiliate the Madrid media and Real Madrid to the fullest.

The Catalan media are not concerned about talking with the Madrid media about Pique's words. What they are more concerned about is whether Guardiola has found a way to deal with Chu Zhongtian. The two matches this season, coupled with one match in the Champions League final last season, made all Barcelona fans realize that Chu Zhongtian is their biggest threat. Now in the ranking list of "the most threat to Barcelona", Chu Zhongtian has surpassed Mourinho and ranked first.

Previously, Barcelona supporters have been looking forward to receiving news similar to "Chu was injured in training and may miss the Champions League final."

But they were disappointed. Chu Zhongtian's body pretended to be like a cow. Even if he practiced more every day, he did not show any fatigue, let alone any injuries.

Until now, both teams have arrived in Munich, and the Catalan media have no hope of digging out the news that Chu Zhongtian was injured.

They turned to ask Guardiola if there was any good way to deal with Chu Zhongtian.

Guardiola said: "Of course there are methods, but I'm sorry I can't tell you."

The Madrid media sneered at this statement. It would be useless to say this - if you don't tell us, how do we know if you have it? We don't know if you really have it, then what you say is what you say? If you say there is, it is there? Are you lying to the child?

The Catalan media began to cheer, believing that Guardiola had finally found a way to restrain Chu Zhongtian.

Although Guardiola didn't say it, they all expressed their understanding and believed it was necessary confidentiality measures. The game against Real Madrid is so important that if something is leaked before the game, it might lead to a loss in the game.

They fully agree to protect the "methods against Chu Zhongtian" as a first-level secret.

They even had a tacit understanding and did not make guesses before the game. If they guessed it, wouldn’t it be like leaking the secret in disguise? Let Real Madrid know that the cunning and abominable Mourinho will definitely change his plan and make targeted deployments... So does Guardiola really have any way to crack it?

The answer is yes.

Guardiola is full of expectations for this final because he has developed a way to deal with Chu Zhongtian, and for this, he has specially changed Barcelona's football tradition.

It can be said that he has done everything for this championship.

It can also be seen how important this championship is to Guardiola.

Guardiola must be aware that this game is the key to whether Barcelona's dynasty can continue. If they lose to Real Madrid in the final, they will be suppressed by the rising Real Madrid. Guardiola can already feel the threat brought to him by Real Madrid. In order to stop Real Madrid, he must defeat his opponent in this game and kill the threat in the cradle.

As long as you can defeat Real Madrid and win the Champions League trophy for the fifth time, Barcelona's power can continue. The significance of the victory of this game lies in telling the whole world that even if Real Madrid, which has Chu Zhongtian, Mourinho, and three world football players, cannot defeat Barcelona, ​​let alone other teams in this world, they should not imagine defeating Barcelona. Barcelona's unification of world football will become an indisputable reality!
