The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 455 The Crazy Final

The brutal Premier League season is finally over, and the land of England seems to be breathing a sigh of relief.

This is a ten-month hard struggle. In the past ten months, almost every hour of every day has been closely related to football and the game, and the air is floating all the time Tension.

With the end of the league, all the teams have also begun to enter the vacation, and the European internationals have also begun to prepare for the European Cup in the summer, except for Tottenham Hotspur and Cardiff, which reached the FA Cup final, And Manchester United in the Champions League final.

These three teams will continue to work hard for the upcoming finals.

The venue of the FA Cup final is no longer the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but moved to Wembley Stadium. This is the first important final after the reopening of Wembley Stadium, but this One game is also doomed that Tottenham will not do their best, because they have to consider the Champions League final after the FA Cup final.

Two consecutive finals and the loss of the league title in the last round of the season will be a huge test for Tottenham Hotspur, especially the Champions League final, which is a challenge that cannot be underestimated for the players' psychological quality.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to player psychology, because he knows very well that the reason why the final is the final is because it has nothing to do with your performance in the past season. Can you show your strength, can you beat your opponent well.

Yes, congratulations, you are the champion; no, I can only be sorry, no matter how good you performed in the past season, it is useless, because it will only get you more sympathy and pity, but it will not bring you a championship !
Sensing the approaching of the Champions League final, the atmosphere at Theobald's training base has gradually changed. There is a strong atmosphere of tension everywhere in the air, because it is the Champions League final, and countless professional players have dreamed of making a Champions League debut all their lives. In the final, who will not be nervous?

From the training, Ye Qiu felt this kind of tension. All the players shrank their hands and feet when they made moves, and they didn't dare to let go to fight, because no one wanted to get hurt or hurt their teammates at this time. Everyone's nerves are tense, as if they will break if they try harder.

When Ye Qiu arranged the training, he had fully considered that the players had just finished a season and their bodies were at a critical point, so he focused more on adjustments, and at the same time arranged some relaxing activities as much as possible. Very little, because the key to psychological problems still depends on the players themselves.

There are a total of four or five psychiatrists in Theobald's training base, but as they said to Ye Qiu, the psychiatrist's counseling is always just counseling, and the real decisive thing is the player's own psychology.

Therefore, on this day, the players came to Theobald training base early in the morning, but they were surprised to find that the training ground was empty and there was nothing. If it was normal, the coaching staff should have put Everything is arranged, and training starts directly after they arrive.

"Don't the team practice today?" The players stood on the sidelines, full of doubts.

Looking at Mascherano, the captain obviously didn't know what was going on, "I haven't received any notification!"

"It's impossible not to train. Now there are only seven days left before the Champions League final. If you don't hurry up to train and adjust your state, how can you do it?"

"I also think it should be training, but no one came, what is the situation now?"

A group of people were talking suspiciously over there. It didn't take long to see Ye Qiu and the coaching staff coming down from the second floor of the training building one after another. They seemed to be in a good mood, talking and laughing along the way.

"Okay, everyone, no need to guess, I'll reveal the answer!" Ye Qiu smiled and waved at the players, "Our training session today is not at Theobald Training Base, so I will give everyone enough time to go back and change. Clothes, wait on the team bus, don’t worry, there is no time limit this time, OK?”

After the players heard this, they seemed even more confused, but they walked back to the locker room one after another, while Ye Qiu and the coaching staff boarded the team bus waiting at the side. Not long after, they saw the players They walked out again and got on the bus.

The Tottenham Hotspur bus drove slowly out of Theobald's training base and went south along Enfield's Great Cambridge Road. It first passed Enfield and then entered the Tottenham area. Everyone thought that when the team was going to the White Hart Lane Stadium, the bus turned around and turned into a residential area, and stopped in a nursing home not long after.

"This is Tottenham's community nursing home, there are many Tottenham fans living in it, believe me, many, many of them have been members of the team longer than your age, and the longest There are more than 80 years."

Before the players got off the bus, Ye Qiu told all the players the significance of this nursing home. During the two years he took over Tottenham Hotspur, the team also funded this community nursing home for two years, although The annual donation is not a lot, but it is very meaningful, and the team often cooperates with nursing homes to hold some fundraising activities.

Tottenham Hotspur often visit some children in the children's hospital, and often go to the fan organization to participate in some activities, but they rarely go to the community. This is the first time, so when the players started from Ye Qiu's I heard from my mouth that there are really old fans of more than 80 years, and everyone is full of surprise, because many of them are only in their early twenties.

"I brought you here today mainly to accomplish two things. First, give away tickets to the Champions League final!"

Ye Qiu changed from his usual joking expression, and now looks serious, because this is a very important matter in itself.

"Everyone knows that in the past 100 years of Tottenham Hotspur's history, we have won two top league championships. That was the League One championship half a century ago, and we once won it in 1963. We won the Cup Winners' Cup and won two UEFA Cups, but we never reached a Champions League final."

"The nearest time to the Champions League final, we reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, but were eliminated, so, everyone, this is the first time that our club has reached the Champions League final in more than 100 years since its establishment!"

Ye Qiu's words made everyone in the bus feel an unprecedented meaning, that is, in the past 100 years, countless Tottenham Hotspur players have never achieved results, but now they have achieved , and hold it in your hand.

"In this nursing home, there are many old Tottenham Hotspur fans who have personally experienced the history of us winning the league championship and the UEFA Cup. It was an honor and a pride to see us reach the final of the Champions League."

"So, the second thing, I hope that in the process of giving away tickets, everyone can get to know our fans well, listen to what they say, how to evaluate our current team, how to evaluate you, believe Me, this can better help you recognize yourself!"

After speaking, Ye Qiu greeted the players and got off the bus.

The nursing home has received news before that many elderly fans who are in good health are waiting outside the gate. Watching this group of Tottenham Hotspur players get off the bus, this group of old fans looks very excited , full of the fanaticism of a young star-chaser.

"He is Frank Ribery!"

"This is Messi, so cute!"

"Van Persie is more handsome in reality than on TV!"

"That shy boy is Cesc Fabregas, look at him like that, he dare not approach!"

"Beckham, my favorite player, make sure he signs me!"

There is a lot of noise in the elderly group. Some people say that when people reach a certain age, their personalities show signs of rejuvenation, so many elderly people have the same personality as children, so when they see those football stars appearing on live TV In front of them, everyone was as excited as a child.

Ye Qiu held this event not only to let the players visit the old people's home and implement the club's plan to enter the community, but he also hoped to use this event to relax the players' mood. At the very least, he should let them know I feel that they can reach the final, and they have accomplished an achievement that has never been broken through in the club's history for more than 100 years.

And this feeling is bound to further stimulate and encourage them, making them more competitive.

In fact, at the scene, in addition to Tottenham Hotspur and people from the nursing home, there were also many Tottenham fans who came to serve as volunteers. This is also part of the team's cooperation with the nursing home, which is to call for more Many fans come to be volunteers.

Nursing homes have also prepared some programs. For example, they let a 91-year-old Tottenham Hotspur fan tell everyone about his 80-year Tottenham Hotspur watching experience. Most of the history of Nam Tottenham, which makes the old man extremely proud.

Many old people came out and told everyone about their experience of watching Tottenham Hotspur. Many people also told about their insights, and many of them were talking about the most primitive and fundamental football game. The core concept is to break through the self and focus on participation!

There are also many fan organizations who came to the scene, and they also talked about an event they prepared for the Champions League final. One of the fan organizations' appeals was supported by quite a few fans.

"We have already contacted nearly 2000 fans who like to travel by car. At that time, we will form a mighty self-driving convoy to drive from London to Moscow. This is a journey of more than [-] kilometers. Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Belarus and many other countries."

"It's a crazy move, isn't it?"

The president of the fan club named Damian smiled and asked everyone, and his inquiry was also cheered by everyone present.

"Yeah, it's crazy, a lot of people say we're crazy, but it's crazy to be in the Champions League final for the first time in over 100 years, so we all feel like if If we don't go crazy once, we are really sorry for the team and the players."

Damian also said that they have submitted an application to the Tottenham Hotspur official, hoping to appeal on the official website and APP, hoping that more fans will join the ranks, and also encourage some fans to carpool, because the whole The cost of the journey is expected to be over £[-] per car, which is not a small sum.

Tottenham Hotspur finally made it to the Champions League final, and the team got [-] tickets for it. Apart from the part left by the team, these tickets were used as gifts to the families of players and staff, and Except for sponsors and partners, all others are used as gifts to the fans of the team.

And the team's first consideration is of course those fans who hold Tottenham Hotspur season tickets, but at the same time, Ye Qiu also took out a part, intending to give it to fans in his home country, as well as some media and well-known reporters. Get free tickets.

This is also the tradition of the UEFA Champions League final. After all, such an opportunity does not come every year, so generally speaking, the tickets are given away for free. Of course, it is not ruled out that some fans will change hands and take them out after getting the tickets. Selling, for the club, there is no way to control it.

And Ye Qiu also believes that this is a very rare case, because the fans who get the tickets are all die-hard fans of the team. For these fans, participating in such a big battle is definitely much more profitable than selling tickets .

In addition to the [-] tickets for the fans of the two teams participating in the final, UEFA also got a part of the tickets, and there are also some tickets for sale in Moscow. After all, the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow has nearly eight seats. [-] capacity.

But one thing is very certain, that is, there is no need to worry about the attendance rate of this UEFA Champions League final, it must be full.

For this group of crazy fans who wanted to drive from London to Moscow by self-driving car, Ye Qiu offered support, but also said that the club will do its best to help in every way, and at the same time hoped that the fans would pay more attention to safety.

Damian, on behalf of the fans, encouraged all the players in the team, hoping that they would not have any pressure, let go of their burdens, and try their best to play this last crucial final, and strive to kill Manchester United and win the first Champions League in club history finals.

The players stayed in the nursing home, accompanied the old people and the fans present all morning, and did not leave until near noon. When everyone left, they were still discussing what they had seen and heard in the nursing home. Obviously, This is a very meaningful activity, and many people have gained a lot of touch from it.

After returning to Theobald's training base, Tottenham Hotspur's afternoon training session continued as usual, but Ye Qiu still adopted light adjustments and training. The players decompressed, and he even arranged a lot of highly entertaining games and activities to adjust the atmosphere in the team.

On May 5, the team welcomed Cardiff at Wembley Stadium in northwest London.

This English Championship team performed mediocre this season. In the end, they only ranked No.12 in the English Championship. Their strength is not very strong, but all the energy of Tottenham Hotspur is focused on the Champions League final on the 21st. Diff just wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Ye Qiu arranged a large number of substitutes for this game, including Aaron Ramsey, the former Cardiff player, as well as Arshavin, Gareth Bell, Marcelo, and Eden Haza. Ye Qiu arranged for a group of young teenagers and substitutes such as Germany and Carol to play.

For his team, Ye Qiu has more confidence than anyone else, and Tottenham Hotspur's group of young and substitute players did not disappoint Ye Qiu. diff.

This is an asymmetrical game. Cardiff is a Championship team. In terms of strength, it is much worse than Tottenham Hotspur. The overall strength of the team is still very strong, and the overall tactics are still to steadily overtake Cardiff, and defeating the opponent is expected.

After winning the FA Cup final, Tottenham Hotspur did not have any celebrations. It was just that many fans who went to Wembley Stadium to watch the game followed the team's bus and took the championship trophy from Wembley. The Bully Stadium was sent to the White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham and sent to the team's exhibition hall.

But on the second day after the team won the FA Cup, that is, the day before going to Moscow, Tottenham District Council and London City Council announced at the same time that if Tottenham Hotspur can finally win If they win the European Champions Cup, the city council will make an exception and allow Tottenham Hotspur to hold a large-scale parade to celebrate, and even open some important passages southward to the city to commemorate Tottenham Hotspur's first Champions League. champion.

Many people are puzzled by the decision of the London City Council, because before Arsenal won the championship or Chelsea won the championship, the celebration parade was severely restricted, but this time it made an exception and opened it to Tottenham Hotspur. It is indeed a bit puzzling.

But soon, some London officials clarified that this time it was mainly to boost the London economy with the help of the Champions League final, because the data submitted by an authoritative research center showed that Moscow will get at least more than At 4000 million pounds, this income greatly exceeds the 800 million pounds earned by Athens, Greece last year.

And UEFA also gave an analysis to the outside world. This year's Champions League final does not include the qualifiers, group matches and knockout matches. Even in this final, the economic benefits involved will exceed 1000 million pounds, surpassing that of the United States. The Super Bowl is the best in the world.

Not only that, after the semi-finals, UEFA has already started to warm up and promote the Champions League final in advance, especially for the two teams participating in the Champions League final, it was recorded before the non-stop broadcast of major TV stations Advertisements and promotional videos to arouse the attention of fans and appeal to more fans to go to the scene or watch the live broadcast.

Even the influence of this final has alarmed the European Union, because this final will bring more than 5000 million pounds of stimulating growth throughout Europe, and if the expected long-term benefits are included, it will be even more astronomical.

It can be said that with the rise of the Champions League in the past few years, this is not just a championship trophy, not just a final, but also a crazy battle for interests worth hundreds of millions!
