The cruel Premier League season has finally ended, and the entire English land seems to be relieved.

This is a ten-month hard battle. In the past ten months, almost every day and every hour, it has been closely linked to football and game. There is a nervous breath floating in the air all the time.

With the end of the league, all teams have also begun to enter a vacation, and European internationals have also begun to prepare for the summer European Cup, in addition to Tottenham Hotspur and English Champions League Cardiff, as well as Manchester United, who reached the Champions League final.

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

The FA Cup final is no longer the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but has moved to Wembley Stadium, which is the first important final we have faced after the re-opening of Wembley Stadium, but this game is also destined that Tottenham Hotspur will not do its best because they have to consider the Champions League final after the FA Cup final.

Two consecutive finals and the loss of the league championship 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 the players' psychology because he knows very well that the final is because it has nothing to do with your performance in the past season. The test for you is whether you can show your strength in those ninety minutes and whether you can defeat your opponent well.

Yes, congratulations, you are the champion; no matter how outstanding you performed in the past season, it is useless, because it can only get more sympathy and compassion for you, but it cannot be exchanged for a champion.

Feeling the approaching of the Champions League final, the atmosphere at Theobord training base gradually changed, and a strong tension filled the air, because it was the Champions League final, which countless professional players dreamed of appearing in the Champions League final for the rest of their lives. Who would not be nervous?

From the training, Ye Qiu felt this tension. All the players shrank their hands and feet when doing the movements, and did not dare to let go to fight because no one wanted to get hurt or hurt his teammates at this time. Everyone's nerves were tense, as if they would break if they tried a little more force.

When Ye Qiu arranged the training, he had fully considered that the player had just finished a season and his body was at a critical point, so he was more focused on adjustments and arranged some relaxing activities as much as possible, but the results were minimal, because the key to psychological problems still depends on the players themselves.

There are a total of four or five psychologists at Theobord training base, but as they said to Ye Qiu, the counseling of psychologists is always just tutoring, and what is really decisive is the players' own psychology.

So, on this day, the players came to Theobord training base early in the morning, but they were surprised to find that the training ground was empty and there was nothing. If it were normal, the coaching staff would have arranged everything long ago and started training directly after they arrived.

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

Looking at Mascherano, the captain obviously had no idea what the situation was, "I received no notice"

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

"I also think it's time to train, but no one comes. What's going on now?"

A group of people said in confusion over there. Not long after, they saw Ye Qiu and the coaching staff walking down from the second floor of the training building one after another. They looked in a good mood and were talking and laughing along the way.

"Okay, everyone, don't guess, I'll reveal the answer." Ye Qiu smiled at the players, "Our training class today is not at Theobord training base, so I'll give you enough time now to go back and change clothes, wait on the team bus, don't worry, there is no time required this time, OK?"

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

Tottenham Hotspur's bus slowly drove out of the Theobord training base and headed south along Enfield's Grand Cambridge Road. First passed Enfield, and then entered the Tottenham area. Just when all the players thought the team was going to go to the White Hart Lane Stadium, the bus turned around and turned into the residential area. Not long after, it stopped in a nursing home.

"This is a community nursing home in Tottenham, where there are many Tottenham Hotspur fans. Believe me, many of them have been members of the team older than you are, and the longest of them is more than 80 years old."

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 the community nursing home for two years. Although the donation is not much, it is very meaningful. The team often cooperates with the nursing home to hold some fundraising activities.

Tottenham Hotspur often visits children's hospitals, and often goes to the fan organization and participates in some activities, but rarely enters the community. This is the first time, so when the players heard from Ye Qiu that there were actually old fans of more than 80 years, they were all full of surprise, because many of them were in their early twenties.

"I will bring you here today, mainly to accomplish two things. First, I will give you tickets to the Champions League final."

Ye Qiu changed his previous joking expression and now he looks very serious because this is a very important thing in itself.

"Everyone knows that in the past 100 years of Tottenham Hotspur, we have won two top league titles, which were the League One championship half a century ago. We once won the European Cup Winners Championship in 2019 and won two League Cup championships, but we have never reached the Champions League final."

"The closest time to the Champions League final, we reached the Champions League semi-finals, but were eliminated. So, everyone, this is the first time our club has reached the Champions League final in more than a hundred years of creation."

Ye Qiu's words made everyone in the bus feel an unprecedented meaning, that is, the results that countless Tottenham Hotspur players have never achieved in the past 100 years, but they have now obtained them and are in their hands.

"In this nursing home, many Tottenham Hotspur fans have personally experienced the history of our winning league championships and winning the League Cup. I also believe that very, very many of them are proud to be able to see us reach the Champions League final with their own eyes."

"So, the second thing, I hope that in the process of giving away tickets, everyone can learn about our fans, 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 saying that, Ye Qiu called the players 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 these Tottenham Hotspur players get off the bus, this group of old fans all look very excited, with the fanaticism of young young people who chase the star.

"He's Frank Ribery"

"This is Messi, so cute"

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

"That shy young man is Fabregas. Look at him, he dare not get close."

"Beckham, my favorite player, must let him sign me."

The elderly group was noisy. Some people said that when they reached a certain age, people's personality showed signs of rejuvenation, so many elderly people had the same personalities as children. So when they saw the stars on the live TV appear in front of them, they were all as excited as children.

Ye Qiu held this event not only to let the players visit the nursing home and implement the club's plan to enter the community, but also hopes to use this event to relax the players' feelings. At least they should make it clear that they can reach the finals and have achieved achievements that have not been broken through in the club's history for more than a hundred years.

And this feeling will inevitably further stimulate and encourage them, making them more eager to win

In fact, in addition to Tottenham Hotspur and the nursing home, there were also many Tottenham Hotspur fans who volunteered. This is also part of the team's usual cooperation with nursing homes, which is to call on more fans to volunteer.

The nursing home has also prepared some programs, such as they asked an old Tottenham Hotspur fan, who is already 91 years old, to tell everyone about his experience of Tottenham Hotspur watching football for more than 80 years. He has personally experienced most of the history of Tottenham Hotspur, which makes the old man feel extremely proud.

Many elderly people came out and told everyone about their experiences watching football at Tottenham. Many people also talked about their own understanding. Many of them were telling the most primitive and fundamental core concept of football, that is, breaking through oneself and focusing on participation.

Many fans also came to the scene, and they also talked about an activity they prepared to deal with the Champions League final. One of the fans' calls received a lot of support from fans.

"We have contacted nearly 2,000 fans who like to drive on their own. At that time, we will form a huge self-driving team from London to Moscow. This is a journey of more than 2,000 kilometers. On the way, we will span Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Belarus and other countries."

"This is a crazy move, right?"

The fan club president named Damian asked everyone with a smile, and his inquiry was also responded by cheers from everyone present.

"Yes, this is really crazy. Many people say we are crazy, but this is the first time in the team's history that it has reached the Champions League final. It is really crazy, so we all feel that if we don't follow it once, we will be sorry to the team and the players."

Damian also said that they have submitted an application to Tottenham Hotspur official, hoping to make a call on the official website and AP, hoping that more fans will join the ranks, and encourage some fans to play cars, because the cost of the entire journey is expected to cost more than 8,000 pounds per car, which is not a small amount.

Tottenham Hotspur finally reached the Champions League final, and the team received 21,000 tickets. Except for the team's remaining part of these tickets, they are given to the players and staff's families, as well as sponsors and partners, all the other tickets are given to the fans of the team.

The first thing the team considers is of course those fans who hold Tottenham Hotspur season tickets, but at the same time, Ye Qiu also took out a part of them and planned to give them to fans of his motherland, as well as some media and well-known reporters, who will receive free tickets.

This is also a tradition in the Champions League finals. After all, such opportunities are not available every year, so generally speaking, tickets are given for free. Of course, it is not ruled out that some fans will sell them by themselves after receiving the tickets. This is completely uncontrollable for the club.

And Ye Qiu also believes that this is a very rare case, because those who receive tickets are all the team's die-hard fans. For these fans, participating in such a battle will definitely be more profitable than selling tickets.

In addition to the fans of the two teams participating in the finals, UEFA also received some tickets, and some tickets are also sold locally in Moscow. After all, the seats at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow are nearly 85,000.

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

Ye Qiu supported this group of crazy fans who wanted to drive from London to Moscow, and said that the club will do its best to provide help in all aspects, and hope that the fans will pay more attention to safety.

Damian represents the fans and encourages all the players of the team, hoping that they will not have any pressure, put down their burdens, and do their best to play this last key final, strive to lose Manchester United and win the first Champions League final in club history.

The players stayed in the nursing home, accompanied the elderly and the fans present all morning, and left until almost noon. When everyone left, they were still discussing what they saw and heard in the nursing home. It was obvious that this was a very meaningful activity, and many people were touched by it.

After returning to the Theobord training base, Tottenham Hotspur's afternoon training class was as usual, but Ye Qiu still adopted lightweight adjustment training. He focused more on the atmosphere in the team and relieved pressure on the players. He even arranged a lot of entertainment games and activities to adjust the atmosphere in the team.

On May 17, the team welcomed Cardiff at Wembley Stadium in northwest London.

This English Championship team performed averagely this season and ended up being only ranked 12th in the English Championship. They are not very strong. However, Tottenham Hotspur's energy is in the Champions League final on the Late Day, so Cardiff wants to take advantage of the situation.

Ye Qiu arranged a large number of substitutes to play in this game, including Aaron Ramsey, the former Cardiff player, as well as a group of young players and substitutes such as Ashavin, Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Eden Hazard, Carol, all of whom were arranged to play by Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu has more confidence in his team than anyone else, and the young and substitute players of Tottenham did not disappoint Ye Qiu. In the key final, he lost Cardiff in a net-clear manner.

This is an asymmetrical game. Cardiff is a championship team. In terms of strength, it is much worse than Tottenham Hotspur. Even if Tottenham Hotspur is a substitute and a young player, the overall strength of the team is still very strong. The overall tactic is still to steadily over Cardiff, and defeating the opponent is expected.

Tottenham Hotspur won the FA Cup final, but there was no celebration. Many fans who went to Wembley Stadium to watch the football team followed the team's bus and sent the championship trophy from Wembley Stadium to White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham District and into the team's exhibition hall.

But on the second day after the team won the FA Cup, the day before heading to Moscow, the Tottenham District Council and the London City Council announced that if Tottenham Hotspur can finally win the European Champions League, the City Council will make an exception to allow Tottenham Hotspur to conduct a large-scale parade celebration, and even open some important passages to the city south to commemorate Tottenham Hotspur’s first Champions League title.

Many people are puzzled by the decision of the London City Council, because before, whether it was Arsenal's championship or Chelsea's championship, they were restricted in the celebration parade, but this time it made an exception to open to Tottenham Hotspur, which is indeed a bit incomprehensible.

But soon, some London officials clarified that this time it was mainly to drive the London economy with the help of the Champions League final, because data submitted by an authoritative research center showed that Moscow would earn at least more than 40 million pounds from this Champions League final, which greatly exceeded the 18 million pounds in Athens, Greece last year.

UEFA also analyzed that this Champions League final is not counted as qualifiers, group stages and knockout matches. Even if this final is concerned, the economic benefits involved will exceed 210 million pounds, exceeding the US Super Bowl and being the world's number one.

Not only that, after the semi-finals, UEFA has begun to warm up and promote the Champions League finals in advance, especially the two teams participating in the Champions League finals. The advertisements and promotional videos recorded before major TV stations keep broadcasting to attract the attention of fans and call on more fans to go to the scene or watch the live broadcast.

Even the influence of this final was alarmed by the EU, because this final will bring more than 50 million pounds of stimulating growth across Europe. If the expected long-term benefits are included, it will be astronomical.
