Chapter 508 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League Final!
Madrid, Spain.
At Real Madrid's training base, Cristiano Ronaldo is sweating profusely during training.
He knew his speech would cause a lot of controversy, but he didn't care.
As long as he can successfully suppress Lin Quan in the finals and lead the team to victory with a more outstanding performance, all the doubts about him from the outside world will disappear and even turn into praise and praise! Moreover, this year is a big competition year.
In addition to the upcoming Champions League final, the quadrennial European Cup will also kick off in half a month.
For Ronaldo, this may be his last European Cup.
If he fails to achieve something in this year's European Cup, he may never have another chance.
Influenced by these two important competitions, and the urge to overwhelm Lin Quan and prove himself on the field, Ronaldo has become harder working than ever!
There are many people in Real Madrid who share the same idea as him. There are still many old players in the team who witnessed the team being eliminated by Manchester City on the field two years ago.
They all have a common voice in their hearts:
"It's time to avenge the blow I took from you last year!"
Bale, like Ronaldo, set his sights on Lin Quan.
He and Lin Quan transferred in the same year, one went to Manchester City and the other to Real Madrid.
Later, when news came out that Real Madrid had contacted Lin Quan, the outside world, especially some Real Madrid fans, always liked to compare him with Lin Quan.
Whenever Lin Quan achieves something in the league or in a world competition, fans can't help but sigh: "If only they had spent a lot of money to buy Lin Quan instead of Bale, how great would that be?"
Bell naturally felt very unconvinced after hearing this. He did not think he was weaker than Lin Quan.
It's just that his status in Real Madrid is not as high as that guy's in Manchester City, so he doesn't get that much support. This is why his performance in all aspects is not as good as Lin Quan.
If he can also get the biggest tilt in tactics, Bale is confident that he will not lose to anyone! After all, even Real Madrid's president Florentino had privately told him that he was optimistic about him replacing Ronaldo in the Real Madrid team.
What does this mean? It means that Florentino Perez thinks he is at the same level as Ronaldo, or even higher than Ronaldo!
It’s a pity that people in the world don’t know the value of things and don’t know how powerful I, Bell, am!
Bell secretly made up his mind: "This time, I must defeat Lin Quan in person!
I don’t want to prove that I’m great, but I want to tell people that I must get back what I lost!”
Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief when they saw many stars in the team preparing so seriously for the Champions League.
The strength of this galactic battleship is actually very strong, with powerful configurations on both the offensive and defensive ends. It is time for it to achieve results.
Unfortunately, their luck was so bad that when they were just about to gain momentum, they encountered Manchester City, which was also in the rising period like them.
The reason why so many Real Madrid fans can't get over the game at the Bernabeu two years ago is because the impact of that game was so huge!
It is precisely because of that defeat that Real Madrid fans are quite fearful when facing Manchester City.
Even a team as strong as the Galacticos cannot guarantee victory against Manchester City, the new upstart in the Premier League.
Because, judging from the results alone, Manchester City has been invincible in the past three years! …
The players are training hard, and Real Madrid's coaching staff are also busy.
During this period, Zidane carefully studied many Manchester City game videos.
Focus on Manchester City's tactics when attacking in the frontcourt in order to find a way to deal with it.
Every team that has played against Manchester City knows how terrifying their front-court attacking power is.
Atletico Madrid, which claims to be the best defender in La Liga and even the top five leagues, was like a piece of paper in front of them, conceding 6 goals in two games!
Real Madrid knows better than anyone how difficult it is to achieve this.
In this season's La Liga, Real Madrid played against Atletico Madrid twice, with a record of one draw and one loss.
But apart from Benzema's goal in the 9th minute of the first game, Real Madrid didn't score a single goal in the remaining 180 minutes, and was even shut out at home, losing face! Atletico's defense, like a steel wall, caused Real Madrid's forwards to have their heads broken and bleed, and they were helpless.
However, such a strong defense was like paper in front of Manchester City, conceding 6 goals. Even Real Madrid could not match this terrifying offensive firepower.
Therefore, if Real Madrid wants to win the final, they must find a way to curb Manchester City's attack.
Otherwise, their fate will be the same as Atletico Madrid's.
Although Atletico Madrid lost, as the best defensive team in the top five leagues, they still have many good points.
Even Manchester City's head coach Guardiola admitted this, and even learned some defensive tactics from Simeone.
As a sworn enemy in the same city, Zidane will naturally not be complacent and ignore Atletico's tactics.
After repeatedly studying Manchester City's game videos and carefully considering Atletico Madrid's defensive tactics, he summed up a style of play suitable for Real Madrid.
There is no doubt that in a crucial match like the final where the outcome is decided in one round, stability is everything.
So, Zidane plans to use a defensive counterattack tactic.
After thinking of the defensive strategy, all that remains is to solve the offensive problems.
Atletico Madrid's defense was actually pretty good, but there were problems with their offense, forcing them to lose their composure and take the initiative, which gave Manchester City the opportunity to score against them one after another.
Otherwise, with Atletico's strong defensive ability, Manchester City would not be able to score six goals against them!
Fortunately, Real Madrid is not Atletico Madrid. Their front-line attacking group is more powerful and dazzling. All Zidane needs to do is to find the most suitable offensive tactics for their characteristics and activate their potential! Zidane is studying Manchester City, and Guardiola is also studying Real Madrid.
After watching the Real Madrid game video, his eyes quickly locked on Real Madrid's No. 19 player Modric!
Modric, a player who looks weak and fragile, is actually a vital link in Real Madrid's midfield defense.
He has a wide range of activities in the midfield. He can adapt from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder, from wing to center, and has an excellent sense of position.
To complete such a large-scale activity, one must have superb physical fitness and running ability.
Unfortunately, Modric just happens to have this ability.
And Modric is not just able to run, he also has an excellent sense of position, a great overall view and a positive defensive attitude.
Putting him in any position can provide great help to the team.
With him around, Real Madrid's ball handlers don't have to worry about not having a safe passing route.
With him in front, Real Madrid's defenders don't have to face the opponent's offensive power directly at the first time.
With him behind them, Real Madrid's forwards can run forward boldly without worrying about their teammates not being able to pass the ball to their feet!
Modric plays the role of both Ned Bruyne and Kante in Manchester City!
He is not only a defensive barrier in front of the defenders, but also the link from offense to defense within Real Madrid.
His importance should be ranked first among the 11 players on the Real Madrid field, even higher than Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo has gradually transformed into a forward. Although he has the title of a superstar, it is not difficult for Guardiola to restrict him tactically.
All we need to do is cut off the connection between him and his teammates behind him, and no matter how powerful Ronaldo is, he will be helpless.
But if you want to limit Modric, it will be much more difficult.
This guy has a very large range of activities and his physical combat ability is also very good. Ordinary people may not be able to deal with him.
But since the opponent is the most threatening player in Real Madrid's lineup, he naturally cannot be ignored, and he must be targeted to death!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the Champions League final.
On May 29, a large number of fans from Europe and all over the world gathered in Milan and came to the holy place in the hearts of Milan fans - San Siro & Meazza Stadium.

In a few hours, the final of the UEFA Champions League will be held here.
The weather in Milan is very good today. Although there are some clouds in the sky and it is not completely clear, there is no sign of rain.
The gentle breeze and the outdoor temperature of 21-22 degrees make people feel extremely comfortable.
It is neither as damp and cold as the British Isles nor as dry and hot as the Iberian Peninsula. Everything here seems so comfortable, perfect for competitions!
Two hours before the game started, a large number of fans could not wait to enter the stadium and take their seats.
The huge San Siro Stadium was already full at this time. The big screen on site showed that the number of fans present today was as high as 80,000!
In addition to the fans inside the stadium, there were a large number of fans outside the stadium who did not buy tickets. They could only gather in the square outside the stadium and watch the live broadcast of the game through big screens, mobile phones or TVs in nearby pubs.
After checking their equipment, the entire Manchester City team boarded the sky blue team bus, slowly passed through the downtown area, and arrived at the San Siro Stadium.
In front of a group of low buildings around, a huge stadium rises from the ground and stands proudly in front of everyone.
“That’s San Siro!”
"Yes, that is San Siro, the holy place in the hearts of Milanese!"
Inside the team bus, the players leaned against the windows and looked up curiously at the stadium in the distance.
From the outside, the San Siro Stadium is worthy of the title of a holy place for Milanese and is indeed very majestic.
The stadium is larger and more majestic than the venue for the finals in the previous two years.
Especially last year, although the Olympic Stadium in Berlin was also very large, it was not a professional football stadium after all. There was a runway between the fans and the players, which greatly affected the viewing experience.
Of course, the impact on the players is also not small. After all, the closer the fans are to the stadium, the greater the impact of their cheers.
Some players may feel nervous and perform poorly, but other players may feel excited and perform better.
Seeing the Manchester City bus approaching, a large number of fans rushed forward.
The police responsible for maintaining public order and protecting the team's safety immediately stepped forward and worked hard to open a passage to escort Manchester City's bus safely into the stadium.
The Manchester City players had just praised the magnificence of the San Siro Stadium, but as soon as they entered the locker room, they started cursing!
Damn, why is this locker room so bad?
Could it be that Inter Milan and AC Milan prepared for the game in such a lousy dressing room? No way? "Okay, get ready quickly, and when you're ready, go out and warm up!"
Guardiola also frowned at the simplicity of the locker room, but he didn't say much.
It's just a game, it's not like we have to keep playing here.
After complaining a few words, the players left the locker room and went out to warm up.
In the player tunnel, they met Real Madrid players who were coming out of the locker room on the other side.
There was nothing unusual on their faces.
This made Lin Quan feel very strange. Wasn’t their locker room already so shabby?
There are many familiar faces in the Real Madrid team, and Lin Quan saw Ramos, Isco and others.
So I walked over and greeted a few people.
"Boss, I won't let you win in this game!"
Isco looked ready to sacrifice himself, as if he was afraid that he would be punished by Lin Quan if he said this.
However, to his surprise, Lin Quan not only did not teach him a lesson, but also encouraged him:
"Well, work hard, try to give your best performance and present a wonderful game to the audience!"
Even though the two are familiar with each other, it is impossible for Lin Quan to let the other party violate professional ethics and let him win in the game.
Besides, with Manchester City's strength, they don't need the other side to let them go.
"Thank you, Boss. I will try my best!"
Isco was extremely excited after hearing Lin Quan's words.
This is his first time to step into the Champions League final. From last night until now, he has been feeling as if he is floating in a cloud of fog and is extremely excited.
Seeing that the other party was excited, Lin Quan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, Lin, we won't lose to you this time!"
Seeing Lin Quan coming over, Ramos, as the captain of Real Madrid, felt that he needed to say a few harsh words to make his position clear.
Lin Quan looked at him in surprise: "Well, then what?"
"Ramos, you can't win the game just by shouting slogans!"
Ramos patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will do it!"
"Then I look forward to your performance!"
Lin Quan gave Ramos a thumbs up and gave him a thumbs up. Then he turned around and wondered whether he should tell Guardiola and the defenders that Ramos, this guy, can often perform miracles in times of adversity.
Be careful with his headers in the penalty area, this guy has saved the team many times with his headers! (End of this chapter)
