1275 Champions League final, I'm ready!

The Champions League final kicked off at 20:45 pm on June 6, but Real Madrid finished morning training classes until noon on June 5, and had lunch with club management and board members before leaving from Madrid for Berlin.

At this time, the entire city of Berlin was already filled with the fanatic atmosphere of the Champions League final, and countless Real Madrid and Barcelona fans gathered from Spain and even around the world to the German capital.

Although there were a large number of Real Madrid fans and local Berlin fans who came to the airport to pick them up, Real Madrid did not stay at the scene. After getting off the special plane, they got on the bus directly on the apron and went to the hotel to avoid the troubles of the fans.

After arriving at the hotel and after a short rest, the team went to the Berlin Olympic Stadium to conduct familiar venue training the day before the game. Although it was just training, the stands still attracted many media reporters and fans.

Like the familiar field training in the past, Real Madrid's training is nothing special, but it has added shooting and set-piece offensive and defensive drills than usual. Everyone knows that Real Madrid's set-piece defense has always been a weakness.

As the Champions League final venue, the Berlin Olympic Stadium has also transformed the interior layout of the locker room. Without the traditional home and away game division, the two locker rooms are almost the same. In addition to the main hall formed by the players' rest area and the coach's rest area, there is also a gym and bathroom, which is also the basic supporting facilities of the locker room.

The training ground time of Real Madrid and Barcelona is staggered, with the purpose of avoiding the two teams encountering in advance.

Before Barcelona came to Real Madrid, they came to get to know the venue earlier and held press conferences earlier.

Barcelona head coach Louis Enrique announced the 18-man roster of Barcelona at a press conference and was interviewed by the media. He said that he was very relaxed before the battle.

The Barcelona coach was the first to express his gratitude to all Barcelona fans who came to support the team. "I hope they can be as passionate and hope as every season in the past, always stand by the team and support us!"

Regarding Barcelona this season, Luis Enrique said, "After a long season of running-in and adjustment, the team has been improving continuously. There is no doubt that we are in very good shape now, we have the opportunity to win the Champions League and leave our mark in team history."

It is generally speculated that the focus of competition in this game is in the midfield, and Enrique also agrees with this.

"The midfield is one of the key positions and a key area for controlling the game. For us, possessing the ball is always the first. In the Champions League final, the most important thing we are to play our own style."

The media then went deep into the search, and Enrique also admitted, "I hope to surpass my opponent in possession rate, so that the ball can appear more in the opponent's half, but there is no doubt that this will be very difficult, because Real Madrid's idea will be the same, and they also have excellent ball control ability."

Enrique also said, "In the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, we were not as good as our opponents in terms of ball possession. This is very deadly and also a wake-up call for us. We need to stick to our own style and build our new advantages on this basis."

Enrique respected Real Madrid, saying that Real Madrid is indeed one of the best teams in Spain and even European football this season in the past few years. "But we are also one of them, so no matter what the result appears in this final, it is very normal and should not be surprised at all."

"I don't think Real Madrid has an advantage in the past. It's irrelevant to defeat us in this game. It's irrelevant. In the past two weeks, we have done a lot and put in a lot of effort. I think we have the ability to win this game."

"I hope, it's a spectacular, fun, open game!"

...

Louis Enrique's pre-match remarks are neither humble nor arrogant, which shows the style and demeanor of the head coach of the giant team.

There are also many players in Barcelona who are interviewed by media reporters. Each of them is full of expectations for the upcoming Champions League final, which is the most luxurious in history, and confidently stated that Barcelona will defeat Real Madrid!

Messi posted a photo of himself wearing shoes after training on his official Twitter and wrote a sentence.

"I'm ready for the Champions League final!"

There is no doubt that this is a challenge statement issued by Messi against Real Madrid, including Yang Yang!

Real Madrid arrived for training later than Barcelona and the press conference was also later.

When Ancelotti was interviewed by media reporters, he was cautious about this game, believing that Barcelona has more time to prepare than Real Madrid, which is very unfavorable for Real Madrid.

"At this level of events, one more day of preparation time is a great advantage, not to mention a full week, which is very unfavorable for us, but I still have confidence in our players."

Ancelotti confessed, "Real Madrid this season seemed to be riding a roller coaster, and their performance was also ups and downs. The two consecutive losses in the early stage of the season once caused us controversy, but then we used twenty-two consecutive victories to prove ourselves, and the same was true in the second half, and we heard a lot of criticism."

"For teams like Real Madrid, criticism often sounds more than affirmative praise, because the fans and the media have demanded more from us than other teams, but what makes me most happy is that we finally came here."

Ancelotti said that Real Madrid has won two championships in La Liga and Copa del Rey. "We are only the last step tomorrow, from legend and creation of history. I believe that all of us can work together to take this step well!"

Regarding tomorrow night's Champions League final, Ancelotti believes that the most important thing is that the players will play their own technical and tactical styles well.

"What are your expectations for Yang Yang? I want to say that he is the best player in the world, no matter in the past, present or future, we never need to make any demands on him. He will always use the strictest and highest standards to demand himself."

"But I hope everyone will pay attention to that we are a team, and we hope that everyone in the team is in the best state, including Yang Yang, I believe this will allow us to defeat all our opponents!"

...

After the training, Yang Yang routinely accepted interviews from some UEFA-authorized cooperative media.

Regarding the upcoming Champions League final, Yang Yang said that Real Madrid needs to put aside the past, "Every game is a new beginning. If we are too persistent in past results, it will put us on a heavy burden."

"What I want to say is that the past record of Real Madrid and Barcelona is already past, and it has nothing to do with the Champions League final we will face tomorrow night. I hope everyone in our team can put down their burdens and go on the game lightly."

Yang Yang said that he respects Barcelona very much and respects Barcelona players, "But we can defeat any opponent. I believe that no one in the world will question my words."

But Yang Yang did not disclose more about the next game because he already knew the arrangements of head coach Ancelotti, and even Real Madrid has been conducting targeted drills in the closed training in the past few days.

Regardless of whether Ancelotti will leave after the end of the season, at least in this Champions League final, he is still the head coach of Real Madrid. As Real Madrid's number one star, Yang Yang needs to do his best to cooperate with him. This is his most basic professional ethics as a professional player.

Even if some of Ancelotti's thoughts clashed with him.

...

After returning from training at the Olympic Stadium, or, as far as the team is concerned, Yang Yang's mood has always been a little heavy, but he concealed it very well. If he didn't know him very well, he would probably not be able to see it.

At least, the players in Real Madrid are basically unable to see it.

But as Yang Yang's pillow, Su Ye was in the hotel. When he saw Yang Yang for the first time, he saw his emotions in his eyes. Although she didn't know what exactly made Yang Yang like this, Yang Yang did not give any explanation.

On the eve of the final, all players must go to the designated hotel floors and rooms to rest, and cannot be with their family, wife or girlfriend. This is mainly related to abstinence, but in order to calm the tension before the players' competition, the coaching staff gave the players two hours of time to visit their relatives after dinner.

Yang Yang's parents, father-in-law, uncle, aunt and cousin and other relatives all came to Berlin and stayed in a hotel booked by Real Madrid, but the floor was lower than the floor where Real Madrid's first team was located.

After Yang Yang came down to visit relatives, he just chatted with them for a few words, played with his baby son Yang Guang for a while, and then walked to the balcony of the hotel room alone, blew the cool breeze that was blowing away the boredom in his heart.

Su Ye also brought a chair, said nothing, just sat next to him.

Relatives and friends thought Yang Yang was nervous before the competition and did not come to disturb him. After all, this battle tomorrow night is of great importance. Some media outside even believed that if this battle was won, Yang Yang would be among the top players.

What an honor is it for a professional player to be on par with Pele and Maradona, and even have the chance to surpass them?

Before such a game, no matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is not nervous.

But what really made Yang Yang bored was not the game itself.

He has been through many battles and has a set of his own ways to overcome tension, so he will not be nervous or even a little excited. He believes that it is not only himself, but also Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and others.

When they reach their level, the more they fight, the stronger they become, and when they encounter, they are all routine operations.

What really made Yang Yang worry was Ancelotti's tactical arrangement, and he felt worried.

But after thinking hard for a long time, Yang Yang also got out of his annoyance.

Su Ye did a good job, he just needed to be quiet.
