Chapter 172: The Final Battle at the Stadium of Light (Daily Transition)
The Champions League final is getting closer.
Both teams arrived in Lisbon ahead of schedule.
Lisbon is the westernmost city in continental Europe and has a mild climate in late May.
The war is imminent.
Countless fans flocked to this tourist city.
Temporary vendors and street performers studied Chinese in advance.
The reason is simple: when South Korea’s Park Ji-sung appeared in the Champions League final, there were many Koreans sitting in the stands; now Gao Qi’s influence is even greater, and Chinese fans will be even less lenient.
Film crews from all over the world also arrived in Lisbon to start recording the show in advance.
“Giroud scored another amazing goal.”
“This guy can turn the tide in a friendly match!”
Morata held the tablet in his hands, with a look of surprise on his face: on the screen, the 193cm-tall Giroud, wearing a French jersey, spread his wings like an eagle and performed a bicycle kick!
De Bruyne’s eyes were full of longing: “If I can score a magical goal in the Champions League final, it will have a different meaning.”
Another table.
Pjanic is discussing tactical details with Totti and others.
The more you discuss, the less stress there is.
“Real Madrid’s defensive resilience is not as terrible as the Chelsea, Bayern and Juventus we faced before.”
“We can’t take it lightly, their offense is much stronger.”
“Think about Crespo, he scored two goals in the Champions League final but still lost.”
Totti’s thoughts flew far away: “Speaking of Crespo, that guy told me about his childhood dream: picking up trash; he called the Argentines who rode horses and dragged trash knights.”
Goalkeeper Stekelenburg and the defenders are under a lot of pressure because they have to face the BBC combination: Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo.
Benzema is okay, but his form has been fluctuating greatly.
Bale and Ronaldo are simply too violent.
Gao Qi did nothing but read a book called “Geography of China” with great interest.
He thought that after he retired, he would have plenty of time to travel around.
Garcia handed over a bottle of mineral water.
Hesitant to speak.
In the end, he said nothing and left quietly.
He was originally worried that Gao Qi would inevitably be nervous, but now it seems that he is the one who is more nervous.
There is one day left until the Champions League final.
The top management of Real Madrid Club arrived in Lisbon.
As Florentino walked out of the airport entrance, he was surrounded by reporters.
“Real Madrid is striving for the tenth Champions League title in its history. Which newspaper are you from? Why are you bringing up such a stupid topic as third in La Liga!”
“Defensively worse than Athletic Bilbao? We conceded one goal less than the Bacchus team all season!”
“Attack! Real Madrid is the team with the most goals in Europe!”
Real Madrid leaders are very unhappy.
Damn it.
What a mess of media, how dare they disrespect the Galaxy Battleship like this.
Fortunately, a reporter from Marca squeezed in and, after boasting for a while, asked a few irrelevant questions.
“regret?”
“Haha! That’s a ridiculous question.”
“Real Madrid never regrets selling any talented player.”
“If he can continue his performance, I will spend 100 million to buy him back!”
“What? One hundred million can’t buy it?”
Final day.
The Stadium of Light was bustling with people.
The surrounding streets were flooded with white, red and yellow.
main entrance.
Legendary superstars stepped out of the commercial vehicles one after another, causing cheers from the crowd.
“What are the names of those old men?”
“I do not know!”
“I know this! Maradona!”
“Maradona!”
The Argentine legend waved and greeted the fans with a warm smile; the last time he was a guest in the Champions League final was in Istanbul.
Lao Ma has been having a very comfortable life recently.
Successfully lost 40 pounds.
Three months ago, I became a father again.
He had the child with his ex-girlfriend without telling his current girlfriend.
“Who will win? You should ask God this question. It’s not too late to place a bet after you get the answer.”
“This photo? Haha, it’s me riding a human-powered tricycle in China!”
In 1996, Maradona led the team to China to play a game, and many interesting things happened.
He was totally unassuming, never refusing autographs or photos, and enthusiastically interacted with Chinese fans at close range.
“interesting.”
“If a Chinese player holds up the Big Ear Cup.”
Stadium of Light.
The 64,000 spectators divided the stands into two colors: white and red and yellow.
Accompanied by the exciting background music, a female singer who was unrecognizable to the majority of fans sang on the green field.
The singers and dancers in strange costumes performed with all their might.
Three flags slowly unfolded: the Champions League star flag, the Real Madrid flag, and the Roma flag.
“Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends.”
“Welcome to the 2013/14 Champions League final.”
“Real Madrid and Roma are about to face off at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon.”
“The meaning of the championship speaks for itself.”
“If Real Madrid wins, it will be the tenth Champions League title in their history. They have been waiting for twelve years. Twelve years ago, Zidane’s goal in the Champions League final seemed to have happened just yesterday.”
“If Roma wins the championship, they will fill the club’s void of European glory, and Gao Qi will become the first Chinese to lift the Champions League.”
“The 2013/14 season was the last great drama in European football.”
Player tunnel.
The atmosphere is subtle.
Pepe stared at Gao Qi’s back with a fierce look.
Carvajal wanted to hug his good friend Morata, but tried hard to hold back.
Khedira looked resentful.
Coentrao did not forget to give the German midfielder some encouragement:
“Lina, the one you pursued so hard, fell in love with Gao.”
“When you send a message to Lina but get no reply, maybe she is obsessed with Gao’s goal highlights!”
“Use the Duelist Spirit to defeat him!”
As he spoke, his voice grew louder and louder.
Khedira’s cheeks suddenly turned red.
Everyone tried hard to hold back their laughter.
Front of the queue.
De Rossi gently pressed Gao Qi’s shoulders with trembling hands.
“Gao, don’t be nervous, we will win.”
Gao Qi turned his head, smiled and patted his hands.
“The game is about to start.”
“The battle between the Galaxy Battleship and the Red Wolf.”
“The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides.”
“Real Madrid played in a 4-3-3 formation.”
“Goalkeeper: Casillas.”
“Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao.”
“Midfield: Modric, Khedira, Di Maria.”
“Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.”
