The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 461
An hour ago, the players of the two teams walked out of the tunnel happily and walked into the stadium. At that time, they were full of hope for the game and the future, because they all felt that they could win!

An hour later, the Manchester United players in red jerseys walked out of the pitch and walked into the player tunnel with satisfied, even smug smiles. At this moment, their emotions were written on their faces, on their faces and in the stands. There is no need to say anything in the gesture of greeting the family and the fans.

And the Tottenham Hotspur players in white jerseys seemed to have fallen into a stinky ditch. When they came out, they stink and were beaten by stray dogs from passers-by. They wished to leave quickly. This place, to a place where no one saw, no one knew, spit out a festering tongue, licking the wounds on his body.

Manchester United's players walked into the player tunnel, as if Napoleon's victorious army passed through the Arc de Triomphe, with their heads up and chest high, while Tottenham Hotspur's players walked into the player tunnel, as if they were being chased by the enemy and had nowhere to hide. The bereaved dog finally saw a dog hole in the corner of the wall, and quickly got into it as if flying.

Over the entire Luzhniki Stadium, only the shouts of Manchester United fans can be heard. From their shouts, anyone can hear the crazy joy that they have won the championship in advance.

3:0, this is definitely a score that sentenced Tottenham Hotspur to death. Even if there is a miracle, it is impossible to reverse the success!

What's more, Ye Qiu often said that he was not favored by the goddess of miracles.

In the stands, many Tottenham Hotspur fans left their seats. I wonder if they will continue to return to their original seats after 15 minutes?Perhaps, quite a few of them couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to leave, and wanted to escape from this place that made them feel ashamed and ashamed.

As soon as the first half ended, Ye Qiu stood in the command area and watched the players leave one by one. On the way, he also experienced van der Sar, Evra and other old players, or players he knew well. But it was more like a victor comforting a loser with pity and sympathy. Ye Qiu didn't like to accept this kind of comfort, so he looked expressionless from the beginning to the end.

Behind him, the coaching staff is busy working, and Peter Brandt and others have already returned to the locker room early, preparing to make physical adjustments to the players during the intermission, such as having some massages, or getting to know the players Physical and psychological conditions, to facilitate the second half to grasp their situation.

Roland was the first to go to one of the studios on the third floor of the Luzhniki Stadium. The technical staff of Tottenham Hotspur arranged their office here today, in order to be able to work faster. Hand over the game data and analysis reports directly to the coaching staff, but now, all of this seems unnecessary.

"The first half of this match was indeed a classic duel like a textbook!" Cruyff looked at Ye Qiu standing on the sidelines. Although he couldn't see his expression, his back gave people a feeling. A very helpless depression.

"Ye Qiu has done everything that a head coach should do. I believe he has done everything he can, whether it is from the formation of troops or from the points before the game, but his team is still suffering. To such a fiasco, this is definitely not a responsibility that should be borne by him."

"If you look at the process of the game, Manchester United's football is not as technical as Tottenham Hotspur, but Manchester United's football is more direct, faster and more powerful. He has shown the charm of Manchester United football to almost everyone. It also tells everyone a truth that technology cannot dominate everything.”

"And we should also see that Manchester United is also stronger in grasping opportunities. Of course, this is indeed related to the Tottenham Hotspur players being too impatient, especially after conceding the first goal. However, Manchester United's offensive efficiency is indeed higher, scoring three goals in a few attacks, this ability to seize opportunities is something that Tottenham Hotspur do not have."

When he said this, Cruyff shook his head helplessly, "Some people say that a team that plays well always misses the championship. Perhaps, what happened to Tottenham Hotspur in this game will once again confirm this. A little, because beautiful things are always so fragile, so vulnerable."

Compared to Cruyff who still had some sympathy for Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho was not at all polite. He directly stated that Tottenham Hotspur would not have another chance in this game, and the championship has already been advanced Belongs to Manchester United.

"In fact, one of the most important reasons for Tottenham Hotspur's defeat was precisely the head coach, because Ye Qiu obviously misjudged his team, especially his team's offensive ability. , even more overconfident."

"I believe everyone still remembers that after Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0, Ferguson once said that if he meets Tottenham Hotspur again, he is absolutely sure that he can beat his opponent, At that time, many people thought that this was what Ferguson said to cover up his incompetence, but from now on, he saw through Tottenham Hotspur's weakness at that time."

"Playing a cup game is different from playing a league game. The cup game puts a lot of emphasis on defense, or should I say the balance of offense and defense. Tottenham Hotspur's defense has not been very good, especially compared to Manchester United, and they can get it in the Premier League. Second, it is very important to rely on their excellent offensive ability."

"But from the process of this game, everyone will find that when their offense is restrained, their defensive weakness is completely exposed, and Ye Qiu has always been against Thiago Silva and Assisting full-backs indeed have a preference that outsiders cannot understand, so that they suffered such a defeat in the first half of this game!"

Football is like this, and different people have different understandings of it, which is not surprising, so Cruyff and Mourinho have different views and ideas on Ye Qiu and the defeat of Tottenham Hotspur, which is also true. It is understandable that both parties did not argue, but each expressed their true thoughts.

In the middle of the chairman's stand, the bigwigs of UEFA were walking around during the intermission.

Abramovich is a well-known rich man in Russia and the chairman of Chelsea. Manchester United CEO David Gill and members of the Glazer family are also sitting in this area. Of course, Tottner is also indispensable. Tottenham chief executive Peter Kenyon.

Compared with other Tottenham Hotspur fans who were desperate for the team's 0:3 loss in the first half, Peter Kenyon was not in a good mood, but it was not too bad, because he had indeed experienced a lot, And he has always had complicated feelings about football itself, maybe this is an occupational disease.

As if treating this final, in his opinion, Tottenham Hotspur's ability to reach the Champions League final is already a victory in itself, which can at least bring back a huge profit for Tottenham Hotspur. Income, and even if points are deducted for a big defeat in the finals, in general, the team is still developing and improving at a high speed.

As long as the current momentum continues, even if they lose the Champions League this season, the team will definitely be able to win it back in the near future, so in his opinion, this is obviously not a big problem, so his expression has always been indifferent .

"Peter!" Abramovich approached Peter Kenyon at some point.

Kenyon raised his head and stood up, because he noticed that UEFA President Michel Platini and other bigwigs had also come over. They obviously just came from David Gill's side, and they should be congratulating Manchester United. of.

"It was a bad first half, wasn't it?" Abramovich said with a smile to Peter Kenyon.

The tone was a bit comforting, but he could also feel the gloating in it. Perhaps in his opinion, instead of reaching the final and suffering such a disastrous defeat, it would be better not to make it to the final at all.

"Football is like this. You can beat your opponent by a big score, but you can't stop your opponent from beating you. There is no team that wins forever in this world, right?" Peter Kenyon responded lukewarmly.

Hearing Peter Kenyon's emphatic big score, Abramovich's face darkened and he was a little angry, but he didn't show it, because didn't his Chelsea lose to Tottenham with a big score in the semi-finals? The stabbing hand?

Platini came over and patted Peter Kenyon on the shoulder, "That's right, they Chinese have a saying that winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, how can any team not lose? But I think, you The only thing that can be done in the second half is to minimize losses, you know what I mean?"

Peter Kenyon certainly understands what the UEFA president means. Even if you lose, don't lose too badly. If there is an unprecedented fiasco, no one wants to see it. To Thomas The loss of Tenham Hotspur is also quite huge, especially the deduction of points on the image.

For Platini, Peter Kenyon and Tottenham Hotspur have fairly general impressions of him, but the strategic goals between the two are indeed the same, because Platini feels that the giants are too strong , needs to be suppressed to ensure the competitiveness of major European leagues, then it is necessary to support the mid-lower teams.

Tottenham Hotspur want to challenge the interests of the giants, and this team is obviously consistent with Platini's strategy no matter from the owner, the head coach, or the strength of the team, so Ou The president of the Football Federation has always had a good impression of this team. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur advocates offensive football and technology, which is also in line with Platini's taste.

But no one thought that in such a crucial final, Tottenham Hotspur would have no choice between Jackie Chan or an adult, and had no choice but to fall into the latter. How many people who are optimistic about them are disappointed.

"I believe that Mr. Ye Qiu will make the best and most appropriate judgment, and I think that as long as the game is not over, we are only behind, not losing, right, Mr. Platini?" Peter Kenny Responded neither humble nor overbearing.

Platini knew that he was not in a good mood, but he was not very comfortable when someone talked back. He just felt that Peter Kenyon was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, so he smiled and didn't say anything more. He apologized to Peter Kenyon and left. Obviously, he still felt that Tottenham Hotspur was out of luck!

Sending off Platini and others, Peter Kenyon let out a sigh of relief, sat down again, and smiled helplessly, because he himself had nothing to do with the current situation, and his only hope was pinned on Ye Qiu body.

As Platini said, at least, losing can't be too ugly!

Ye Qiu didn't know what happened in the stands. As soon as he walked into the players' tunnel, Peter Brandt came to him immediately and told him something that made his already extremely bad mood sink completely. a lot.

Ribery is injured!

Every professional player will have some injuries more or less, but Tottenham Hotspur's medical team has always been very careful to ensure that minor injuries and illnesses of the players will not affect the game, but some games However, no one can guarantee the injuries in the middle, and no one can avoid such things from happening.

Ribery hit his left leg in a confrontation with Ferdinand in the first half. He didn't feel it at the time. He got up and jumped a few times and continued the game. But after he left the field, Peter Brandt found his left ankle was swollen .

"You have to think about who to replace him with!" Peter Brandt gave Ribery a death sentence for his trip to the Champions League final. "And you have to go in and persuade him. You should know his character very well!"

Franck Ribery is a hooligan when he plays it. It is useless for anyone to tell him anything, and no one can persuade him, except Ye Qiu.

As the saying goes, one thing is one thing, Ye Qiu personally went to the French construction site to dig him, a brick mover, to the Premier League, and personally cultivated him into the hottest superstar in world football. He didn't dare to vent to Ye Qiu, but every time he saw Ye Qiu, he had to shrivel up.

This is not because Ye Qiu has a bigger temper than him, but because Ye Qiu has already established an authority in his heart like a master, a father, or a brother.

"Fuck!" Ye Qiu let out a few breaths, turned around and kicked the wall.

Peter Brandt could understand Ye Qiu's mood at this moment. He played so badly in the first half of the loss that he didn't even show [-]% to [-]% of his usual strength. The most powerful general, how could this make Ye Qiu feel better?

Just as Ye Qiu was thinking about what to do, Roland Shepas also came out of the elevator in the stadium, holding a thick stack of reports in his hand, probably thirty or forty pages long, which listed the details The information and statistics of the two sides in the whole first half, as well as the analysis of Manchester United's strengths and weaknesses.

Ye Qiu took the stack of reports from Roland, but the Dutch fat man didn't hand it to him immediately, but held it tightly.

"There are still 45 minutes, or even 75 minutes, and we haven't lost yet!" Fatty Luo said heavily.

Ye Qiu pulled hard, and directly pulled the report into his hands, "I know better than you!" After speaking, he walked to the locker room, and Fatty Luo was fighting with Peter Brandt over there. With a wink, the latter also looked aggrieved, because he didn't know what Ye Qiu was planning in his heart.

As soon as the door was opened, I heard Ribery's shout from inside, "Seal me, I can still play in the second half!"

The other players remained silent, no one spoke, so the locker room was so quiet that only Ribéry's voice was left, which was very clear, from which we can also see how emotional all Tottenham Hotspur players are now low.

Ye Qiu pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in. He first glanced at the players sitting around the three walls of the locker room, and then his eyes fell on Ribery's left ankle, which was indeed very swollen. It's not suitable to play anymore, even if it's closed.

Seeing Ye Qiu walk in, Ribery also stood up, looking very excited.

His excitement is definitely not fake, because he is currently at a critical moment in his career.

Long before the Champions League final, many media have been hyping and publicizing that the most eye-catching performances in the European arena this season are Ribery of Tottenham Hotspur and Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United. Both players are the best players of the season, and they are also the most powerful contenders for the 2008 World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year.

Coincidentally, both players have reached the final of the Champions League, so many people say that this year's Champions League final and the European Cup in the summer will become an important criterion for judging which of these two players is better, and who has performed well, Who will be able to win the world footballer and European footballer.

Therefore, for Ribery, this Champions League is not only related to the honor of the team, but also to his own performance, but also to his future and future, because he hopes that one day he can be like his predecessor Zidane Be the best player on the planet just like that.

Yes, when he was a brick mover in France, he never had such extravagant hopes, and he didn't even dare to dream about it, but people change, and people's dreams and goals change with the circumstances And constantly changing, the current Ribery is absolutely qualified and qualified to put forward such goals and requirements for himself.

It's just one step away!

If he just ended this Champions League final with a score of 0:3, then he would let the honor within reach pass away from his hands, and such an opportunity may be in his future career , it is difficult to reappear.

The sporting life of a professional player is so short, so fragile, so elusive, who knows what the future holds?Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
"Head, I..." Franck Ribery wanted to ask when he saw Ye Qiu walk in.

But Ye Qiu waved his hand, "I know what you want to say, I understand you!"

But soon, Ye Qiu changed the subject, "But I'm sorry, Frank, I'm not in the habit of joking about player injuries, so in the second half, you have to stay on the bench."

Franck Ribery's mind went blank with a buzz. His first reaction was to justify and explain, but Ye Qiu shook his head.

"However, I can promise you, Frank!" Ye Qiu stared into Ribery's eyes solemnly, and promised word by word: "I will help you get back everything you missed today. With Tottenham Hotspur, I will definitely help you regain your Champions League, this is my promise and guarantee to you!"

"However, I can't let you play in the second half, because we have to counterattack!"
