The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 712 The Price of Failure

"Well~ Pilar, I know you must be very nervous now, and I also know you must be very scared, because you have always been a person who is easily nervous and afraid of failure. We have suffered and been poor, so you are better than me. Everyone should cherish what they have now."

"Just now Thea asked me, where is Dad, and I told her that we can see him on the court. I took her to buy a white jersey yesterday. It is very beautiful. I believe you will like it when you see it. of."

"I want to say, Pilar, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, touch your heart, believe in yourself and the people around you, we will cheer for you in the stands, you will definitely be able to!"

Bilal is Franck Ribery's first name, Thea is his daughter's name, and this remark comes from a short video, which is full of interviews with the players' families by club staff. Motivate the players in the locker room by expressing their expectations of the players, with their words and even gestures.

After Ribery's wife Wahiba made a head start, one after another, the family members of the players, or wives, or girlfriends, or parents, all appeared in front of the camera of the short film, and they all used their own ways to motivate Players, I hope they can perform in the Champions League final.

The funniest thing is that Marcelo's son Enzo, the handsome Brazilian boy who became popular because Marcelo often posted cute photos of the two on Twitter and Facebook, appeared in front of the camera, as well as his beloved dog Dog, and he is also very cute, as soon as he appeared in front of the camera, his iconic afro made everyone in the locker room burst into laughter.

"Wow!" Enzo shouted childishly, "I want a medal!"

"What do you want a medal for?" The mother was obviously asking, and there were some laughter.

"Buy a toy!" In the end, the boy did not forget to make a cute gesture to kiss the camera.

There was another burst of laughter in the locker room. Marcelo now also wears his iconic afro for the simple reason that his son likes him with this hairstyle, so he decided not to change it, so the afro father and son It can often be seen on Theobald's training ground, as long as it is an open training session, Enzo will basically appear.

Children are undoubtedly the most likable. Everyone in the locker room smiled and gave Marcelo a thumbs up. The most enviable thing about this kid is that he has such a smart son.

Messi found that all the family members or girlfriends of his teammates showed up in the locker room, but he was the only one who didn't. Is it because he didn't find his family members to take pictures?Or is it that his father and his family are not cooperating?
When this doubt appeared in Messi's mind, the camera of the short film turned and appeared on the plane.

It's Antonella, Messi's girlfriend announced half a year ago, and also his parents' daughter-in-law. She has always lived in Rosario, but occasionally comes to London. The relationship between the two has never been recognized. attention from the outside world.

"Leo, it's me, I'm on the plane to Munich, with them, and Uncle Jorge!"

Antonella said to the camera, but she looked a little shy. After she finished speaking, she turned her head away, but the voice of Messi's father Jorge came from the side to encourage her to continue, and Antonella quickly back in front of the camera.

"I was going to tell you after the game, Leo, but... they all thought I should tell you, let you know, so..." Antonella had tears in her eyes as she spoke , Gritting his teeth to hold back, after a pause, he calmed down a bit before continuing.

"Leo, I have a baby!"

Antonella's voice resounded very loudly in the locker room, and the locker room, which was still a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet. Everyone was startled by the words, and looked at Messi one by one. The latter was stunned and full of disbelief.

"It's been three months. It's a boy. I found out more than half a month ago. I wanted to tell you personally and give you a surprise, but they all said that I should take this opportunity to tell you, Leo, I Are you happy to have our child?"

Messi was sitting in front of the locker in the locker room, his fists clenched tightly, his veins exposed, he was obviously controlling his emotions, he didn't want to be in front of his teammates, in front of such a big game , overly excited to indulge his emotions, but he still couldn't help it, tears rolled in his eyes.

"I will sit in the stands, Leo, I miss you very much, I want to think with you what name I want to give him, what to prepare for him, I don't understand anything, I miss you so much, Leo!" Antonella in front of the camera couldn't help crying, she hadn't seen Messi for more than a month.

Messi here also shed two lines of tears. He is in a mess now. He knows he can't be too excited, but he can't help it, so he stood up from the closet seat, and the teammates around him One by one, they came up to congratulate him, while Messi smiled foolishly, not knowing what expression he should give his teammates.

"Congratulations, Leo!" Ye Qiu also walked in front of Messi.

The Argentine hugged Ye Qiu tightly, yelled loudly twice, but didn't speak.

Ye Qiu understands Messi's personality very well. He is a very restrained person, and he can even be said to be a little bad at expressing his emotions. He is very excited and excited now, but he doesn't know how to express it. Perhaps, he needs to vent on the court. His own excitement and excitement, because the stadium is the best stage for him to show himself.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, Ye Qiu also feels that the world changes too fast, time flies too fast, so fast that he hardly has time to prepare. Once upon a time, Messi was just a young girl in his eyes. He was like an immature child, but in a blink of an eye, he was about to become the father of a little boy.

"Do you want to give the child any present?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Messi nodded heavily, "How about a Champions League?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu shook his head, "I don't think it's enough, it's better to add another FIFA Ballon d'Or, what do you think?"

Messi nodded heavily, and the teammates around him also came up one by one, congratulating Messi on becoming a father.

Seeing that all the players in the locker room were encouraged, Ye Qiu felt that his trick was very effective. Originally, he just wanted to encourage the players through the family members of the players, but he did not expect that on the plane, Roland When I was chatting with Jorge, I mentioned the news of Antonella's pregnancy, so I decided to add this paragraph temporarily.

This group of players from Tottenham Hotspur are veteran players who have experienced many battles. They have played so many professional leagues, and they have also played many finals. I don’t know how many key matches. The words of motivation have all been said, and even they have become a little numb.

Under such circumstances, no matter how much Ye Qiu said, the effect may not be obvious. It is better to let the family members of the players speak and let them motivate the players through short videos and videos, because they know the players better than Ye Qiu and are closer to them. In the life of the players, they are the closest people to the players. One sentence from them is more effective than ten sentences from Ye Qiu.

"Guys!" After Ye Qiu finished the short video, the players' emotions were mobilized, and he stood up to finish.

"We are finally back on the stage of the Champions League final!" Ye Qiu used us to enhance his sense of oneness with the players.

All the players fell silent and looked at the head coach with longing in their eyes.

Everyone does not want to disappoint those who are close to themselves, familiar with themselves, and understand themselves. Therefore, in this game, they do not want to let those wives and family members who motivate themselves in short videos, let those who sit in the stands The family, relatives and friends who cheered for me were disappointed, so they all felt a desire from the bottom of their hearts.

"This is the Allianz Arena. I believe everyone has witnessed everything from the hotel to the stadium just now. This city belongs to Bayern Munich, and this stadium also belongs to Bayern Munich. Now, what we are facing is not only It's a team, not just Bayern Munich, but the whole city of Munich, and the whole of Germany!"

"We've all seen how they humiliated us on the road, attacked us, we've all seen how they humiliated us in the stands, humiliated our fans, our families, and I can assure you that if this After one game, we finally leave as losers, and they will attack us more brazenly. The humiliation they gave us, the fans, and our loved ones in the stands will be ten times more than it is now. Even a hundred times!"

"This is the price that losers have to pay!"

"Because we and the fans and relatives behind us are not only ourselves, but also represent Tottenham Hotspur. We have to bear the honor and disgrace of advancing and retreating with Tottenham Hotspur. Now, we will walk with the shame, and we will have to take this shame to participate in the game for a long time in the future."

"Guys, we're not just fighting for ourselves, for this jersey, but also for the fans behind us, our loved ones in the stands, we're going to fight for them, we're going to use Do everything in your power to protect them, so that they can be honorable, dignified, and proudly leave this stadium that belongs to the enemy as victors!"

"And this requires each of us to do our best on the court. We must use our performance and strength to silence all the enemies so that they will never be able to play again from now on." An opportunity to humiliate and attack our fans and loved ones."

"This is a cruel war of life and death, there is no mercy, only go all out!"

"If you don't want to be humiliated, if you don't want your loved ones to be humiliated, then clench your fists and kill your opponent!"

As Ye Qiu's shouts ended, all the players stood up, formed a group, put their hands together, and shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

…………

…………

"Audience friends, welcome to the Munich Stadium!"

"We are now live broadcasting the final of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League for you. The two sides are the Premier League giants, Tottenham Hotspur, and the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich at home!"

"This is also a duel between the two best teams in the UEFA Champions League this season, and they have also shown great strength before, defeating powerful opponents one after another, and finally came to this stadium .”

"Bayern Munich have faced Basel, Marseille and Real Madrid, while Tottenham have faced Naples, AC Milan and Barcelona. Both sides have played a lot of wonderful games, especially Tottenham. Assassin's 9-0 double win against Barcelona at home and away is the most classic game of the season!"

"In this battle, both sides have only one goal, and that is the St. Brad's Cup!"

The live TV camera gave a close-up of the St. Brad's Cup placed in the middle of the exit of the player tunnel under the main stand of the stadium.

"Now it is very close to the start of the game, and we have just got the starting lineups of both sides."

"Bayern Munich still adopts the 4231 tactics they are familiar with in this game. The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Contento, Badstuber, Jerome Boateng and captain Lahm. The double defensive midfielder configuration is Gustavo and Schweinsteiger, the frontcourt is Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos and Robben, and the single forward is Gomez."

This is also the strongest lineup of Bayern Munich this season. Judging from the starting list, Heynckes was not affected by the German Cup defeat to Dortmund. On the contrary, he continued to trust those players in this game Players who performed sluggishly in this game.

Perhaps, the German coach knows a Chinese proverb very well, know the shame and then be brave!
"Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is basically all main players. Petr Cech is the goalkeeper. Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Kyle Walker are the defense line. Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, Ribery, Cavani and Messi's trident in the frontcourt."

"If you look at the starting lineups of both sides, Tottenham Hotspur's right back Alves missed the final due to accumulated yellow cards, which will definitely have some impact on Tottenham Hotspur's right attack. After all, Alves and Messi The combination on the right has always been Tottenham Hotspur's ace attack line, now that there is no Alves on the right, it is doubtful whether the attack power will decline."

"Another factor that is unfavorable to Tottenham Hotspur is that this is Bayern Munich's home stadium. Bayern Munich is very familiar with everything about this stadium, so whether they will take the advantage of the home court and take the lead in attacking, that's a question. It's also a question."

"Of course, we all know that Tottenham Hotspur is very strong, and quite a few people even think that this North London team is the strongest and best team in football today, so how to In the face of so many unfavorable factors, to play their due strength, this is also a concern of the outside world for Tottenham Hotspur!"

"But many people also believe that Tottenham Hotspur's biggest advantage lies in their experience. There are many veterans in this team who were the main players when the team defended the Champions League three years ago. They have rich experience. So how to play in the Champions League final, they have a psychological advantage over Bayern Munich players."

"And Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ye Qiu and his team have reached the Champions League final five times, which can be said to be very, very rich, so how Tottenham Hotspur will play in the game depends on It’s also worth looking forward to!”

While the on-site commentator was analyzing the starting lineups of the two teams, the players of the two teams slowly walked out of the player tunnel under the leadership of the referee, and there was a deafening shout from the entire Allianz Arena. More than 6 fans They are all cheering for the players of the two teams, and no one will be outdone.

When Ye Qiu returned to the stadium again, he was greeted by cheers from the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands and more than 1000 Chinese fans, but he didn't have much interaction with them because he was separated by a stadium , Second, he put his body and mind into the game.

"Around twenty degrees!" When Ye Qiu walked out, he purposely felt the temperature of the Allianz Stadium.

Because it rained yesterday, the turf is very good, not too dry, but not too slippery, and although it is sunny today, the temperature in Munich is not particularly high, [-] degrees, which is quite suitable for the competition , but as the game progresses, as more and more fans burst out with passion, it is estimated that the temperature will rise again later.

After all, the stadium is a semi-enclosed space. More than 6 people gather in such a stadium. Even if you do a good job of ventilation, the temperature will definitely be higher than outside.

The referee of this game is Proenza from Portugal, and the linesman is also from Portugal. Interestingly, he has refereeed Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League games many times before, but he has only refereeed two Bayern Munich games. Bayern Munich lost both games.

Because of this, some people joked before the game that this is the rhythm of getting rid of Bayern Munich.

There were not too many ceremonies before the game, just a simple kick-off ceremony, and then the two sides entered the game.

Bayern Munich took the lead in kick-off, but their start was obviously based on stability. After the kick-off, the ball was passed directly to the backcourt, which was controlled by Schweinsteiger, while Toni Kroos, Lahm and Gus Tavor is also very close to Schweinsteiger, maintaining a tight backcourt possession network.

Ye Qiu's start of this game is also based on safety, because he has to be wary of whether Bayern Munich will attack after the start, and Tottenham Hotspur has a certain advantage in strength, so there is no need to take this kind of risk. It is entirely possible to play more patiently, so Tottenham Hotspur did not press hard after the start.

But after a short trial at the beginning, Bayern Munich immediately launched a wave of offensive, and soon took out their targeted weapons against Tottenham Hotspur, directly attacking Tottenham Hotspur's fatal weakness.
