Chapter 724: The Price of Failure
"Well, 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 very nervous and afraid of failure. We have suffered and poor, so you have cherished everything you have now than anyone else."
"Just just now, Thea asked me where my father was. I told her that we could see him on the court. Yesterday I took her to buy a white jersey, which was very beautiful. I believe you will like it if you see it."
"I want to say, Bilar, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, touch your heart, believe in yourself, and trust the people around you. We will cheer for you in the stands, you can definitely do it."
Bilar is Ribery's Muslim name, and Thea is his daughter's name. This is a short video, which contains interviews with the players' families by club staff. The players' families express their expectations for the players, and use their words and even gestures to motivate the players in the locker room.
With Ribery's wife Vahiba opening one head, players' families, wives, girlfriends, or parents appearing in front of the short film, they are all motivating the players in their own way, hoping that they can perform in the Champions League final.
The funnyest thing is Marcelo's son Enzo. This handsome Brazilian boy who became popular because Marcelo often posted photos of the two of them on Twitter and PK appeared in front of the camera, and his beloved dog, and he was also very cute. As soon as he appeared in front of the camera, the iconic explosive head made everyone in the locker room burst into laughter.
"Diadia" Enzo shouted in a silence, "I want a medal"
"What do you want to have a medal?" The mother was obviously asking next to her, and there was some laughter.
"Buy Toys" In the end, the boy did not forget to act cute and did an action that he wanted to kiss the camera.
There was another burst of hilariousness in the locker room. Marcelo has now also had his iconic explosive head. The reason is very simple. His son likes him to wear this hairstyle, so he decided not to change. So the two of the explosive heads and sons can often be seen on Theoborde's training ground. Enzo will basically appear as long as it is an open training class.
The children are undoubtedly the most likable. Everyone in the locker room laughed, but they also gave Marcelo a thumbs up. What makes this kid most enviable is that he has such a smart son.
Messi found that all the family members or girlfriends of his teammates in the locker room appeared, but he was the only one who didn't. Is it because he didn't ask his family to take pictures? Or is his father and family not cooperating?
When this doubt emerged in Messi's mind, the camera of the short film turned and appeared on the plane.
It is Antonella, Messi's girlfriend announced to the public half a year ago and is also the daughter-in-law of his parents. She has always lived in Rosario, but she occasionally comes to London, and her relationship has never been paid attention to by the outside world.
"Leo, it's me. I'm on the plane to Munich now, with them, and Uncle Jorge and the others."
Antonella said to the camera, but she looked a little shy. After saying that, she turned her head, but there was a sound of Messi's father Jorge encouraging her to continue speaking, and Antonella quickly returned to the front of the camera.
"I originally planned to tell you after the game, Leo, but... they all thought I should tell you and let you know, so..." As he spoke, Antonella had tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and held back, paused for a moment, calmed down before continuing.
"Leo, I have a baby"
Antonella's voice sounded very loudly in the locker room. The locker room, which was originally a little noise, suddenly became quiet. Everyone was startled by this and then looked at Messi, who looked stunned and incredible.
"It's been three months, it's a boy. I found out more than half a month ago. I originally wanted to tell you personally and give you a surprise, but they all said I should take this opportunity to tell you, Leo, are you happy with my child?"
Messi sat in front of the closet in the locker room, his fists were clenched tightly, and the veins were exposed. He was obviously controlling his emotions. He did not want to indulge his emotions in front of his teammates in front of such a big game, but he still couldn't help it, and tears rolled in his eyes.
"I will sit in the stands, Leo, I miss you very much, I want to join you in thinking about what name to give him and prepare something for him. I don't know anything, I miss you so much, Leo." Antonella in front of the camera couldn't help crying. She hadn't seen Messi in more than a month.
Messi also shed two lines of tears here. He was in a mess now. He knew that he could not be too excited or too excited, but he couldn't help it, so he stood up from the seat in the closet, and his teammates around him walked up one by one to congratulate him. Messi was laughing there stupidly, not knowing what expressions he should give to his teammates.
"Congratulations, Leo" Ye Qiu also walked to Messi.
The Argentinian hugged Ye Qiu tightly, and yelled twice, without saying a word.
Ye Qiu knows Messi's personality very well. He is a very restrained person who can even be said to be a little unrighteous in speaking and expressing his feelings. He is very excited and excited now, but he doesn't know how to say that perhaps he needs to vent his excitement and excitement on the court, because the court is the best stage for him to show himself.
Sometimes when I think about it, Ye Qiu also feels that the world is changing too fast, time passes too fast, so fast that he almost has no time to prepare. Once upon a time, Messi was just a young and tender child in his eyes, but in a blink of an eye, he was about to become the father of a little boy.
"Do you want to give me any gifts to your child?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Messi nodded heavily, "How about a Champions League?"
But Ye Qiu shook his head, "I don't think it's enough. It's better to have another FIFA Golden Ball Award. What do you think?"
Messi nodded heavily, and his teammates around him walked up one by one, congratulating Messi on becoming a father.
Seeing that all the players in the locker room were inspired, Ye Qiu felt that his killer move was still very effective. He originally wanted to encourage the players through the players' families, but he did not expect that on the plane, Roland mentioned the news of Antonella's pregnancy while chatting with Jorge, so he decided to join this section temporarily.
This group of Tottenham Hotspur players are all experienced veterans. They have played so many professional leagues and have played many finals. I don’t know how many of them have played in key events. Almost all inspiring and inspiring remarks have been said, and they have even become a little numb.
In this case, no matter how much Ye Qiu says, the effect may not be obvious. It is better to let the players' families motivate the players through short videos and videos, because they understand the players better than Ye Qiu and are closer to the players' lives. They are the people closest to the players. If they say one sentence, it is more effective than Ye Qiu's ten words.
"Guys" Ye Qiu was moved after the short film was broadcast, and the players' emotions were mobilized, and he stood up and finished.
"We are finally back on the stage of the Champions League final." Ye Qiu used us to enhance his sense of unity with the players.
All the players calmed down and looked at the head coach, and a desire was transmitted from 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 disappoint those wives and families who inspire themselves in the short video, and those family members and friends who sit in the stands to cheer for themselves. Therefore, they all have a desire from the bottom of their hearts.
"This is the Allianz Stadium. 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 just a team, not just Bayern Munich, but also the entire Munich city, but also the entire Germany."
"We just saw how they humiliated us and attacked us on the road, and we also saw how they humiliated us, humiliated our fans and our families in the stadium stands. I can guarantee that if we finally leave in shame as losers in this game, they will attack us more unscrupulously. What they give us, fans, and humiliate our relatives in the stands will be ten times more, or even a hundred times more, than now."
"This is the price the loser has to pay"
"Because we, the fans behind us and the relatives behind us, are not just ourselves, we also represent Tottenham Hotspur. We must bear the honor and disgrace of advancing and retreating with Tottenham Hotspur. If we fail, we will walk with shame. For a long time in the future, we must participate in the game with this shame."
"Guys, we are not only fighting for ourselves, fighting for this jersey, but also protecting the fans behind us, our relatives sitting in the stands, we want to fight for them, we have to use all our strength to protect them, so that they can be glorious, decent, and proudly leave this field belonging to the enemy in the posture of a winner."
"And this requires each of us to do our best on the court. We must use our performance and our strength to silence all our enemies, so that they will no longer have the opportunity to humiliate and attack our fans and relatives from now on."
"This is a cruel war of life and death. There is no mercy, only to do your best."
"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 shouting ended, all the players stood up and formed a group of players, holding hands and shouting in unison, "Kill and Kill."
"Friends of spectators, welcome to Munich Stadium"
"We are now live broadcasting the final of the UEFA Champions League in 10 season. The two sides are Premier League giants, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich who play at home."
"This is also the showdown between the two best teams in the Champions League this season. They have shown excellent strength before, defeating one strong opponent after another, and finally came to this stadium."
"Bayern Munich has encountered Basel, Marseille and Real Madrid before, while Tottenham Hotspur has encountered Naples, AC Milan and Barcelona. Both sides have also played many wonderful games, especially Tottenham Hotspur's 0 double-defeated Barcelona at home and away, which is the most classic game of the season."
"Now in this battle, both sides have only one goal, that is, the St. Bolade Cup."
The live TV footage gave a close-up of the St. Boled Cup placed in the middle of the exit of the player's passage below the owner's stands.
"The game is now very close to the start time, and we just got the starting lineup of both sides."
"Bayern Munich still adopts the 3l tactics he is familiar with in this game. The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Contento, Bad Stubber, Jerome Boateng and captain Ram. The midfield double midfield configuration is Gustavo and Schweinsteiger, the frontcourt is Thomas Muller, Tony Klos and Robben, and the single striker is Gomez."
This is also the strongest lineup for Bayern Munich this season. Judging from the starting list, Heinx was not actually affected by the German Cup defeat to Dortmund. On the contrary, he continued to trust the players who performed poorly in this game.
Perhaps, the German old coach knew a Chinese saying, "Be brave after knowing shame."
"Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is basically the main players, with goalkeeper Cech, defense line Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Kyle Walker, midfielder Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, and front court Ribery, Cavani and Messi's trident combination."
"If we look at the starting lineup of both sides, Tottenham Hotspur right-back Alves missed the final due to cumulative yellow cards, it will definitely have some impact on Tottenham Hotspur's right-hand offense. After all, the right-hand combination of Alves and Messi has always been Tottenham's ace offensive route. Now that Alves is missing on the right, whether the attack power will decline is a question."
"There is another factor that is unfavorable to Tottenham Hotspur, this is Bayern Munich's home court. Bayern Munich is very familiar with everything about this stadium and knows it well, so whether they will take the home advantage and launch the attack first is also a question."
"Of course, we all know that Tottenham Hotspur is very strong, and a considerable number of people even think that this North London team is the strongest and most outstanding team in football today. Therefore, how to play the strength you deserve under the face of so many unfavorable factors is also a concern for Tottenham Hotspur."
"But many people also believe that Tottenham's biggest advantage lies in their experience. Many veterans in this team were the main heroes of the team's defending the Champions League three years ago, and they have rich experience. So how to play in the Champions League finals, they have more psychological advantages than Bayern Munich players in terms of psychological quality.
"And Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ye Qiu and his team have had the experience of reaching the Champions League final five times, which is very rich. Therefore, how Tottenham Hotspur will play in the game is also worth looking forward to."
While the on-site commentator was analyzing the starting lineup of both sides, the players of the two teams slowly walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee. A deafening shout came from the entire Allianz stadium. More than 60,000 fans were cheering and cheering for the players of the two teams, and no one was willing to be outdone.
When Ye Qiu returned to the stadium again, he was also greeted by Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands and more than a thousand Chinese fans, but he was unable to interact with them more. One reason was that there was a stadium, and the other was that he was both physically and mentally involved in the game.
"About twenty degrees", when Ye Qiu walked out, he deliberately felt the temperature of the Allianz Stadium.
Because it rained yesterday, the turf was very good, not too dry, but not too slippery. Although it was sunny today, the temperature in Munich was not particularly high, twenty degrees, which was quite suitable for the game. However, as the game progressed and more and more fans burst out with passion, it is estimated that the temperature would increase again later.
After all, the stadium is a semi-enclosed space, with more than 60,000 people gathering in such a stadium. No matter how well your ventilation is, the temperature will definitely be higher than that outside.
The referee of this game is Pronza from Portugal, and the lineman also comes from Portugal. What's interesting is that he has enforced the law on the Champions League games many times before, but has only enforced the law on two games in Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich lost in both games.
Because of this, someone joked before the game that this was to eliminate Bayern Munich's rhythm.
There were not too many rituals before the game, just a simple kick-off ceremony was held, and then both sides entered the game.
Bayern Munich took the lead in kicking off, but their start was obviously focused on stability. After the kickoff, they passed the ball directly to the backcourt and controlled it by Schweinsteiger. Tony Klos, Ram and Gustavo were also very close to Schweinsteiger, maintaining a close backcourt ball control network.
Ye Qiu's start of this game is also mainly stable, because he has to be wary of whether Bayern Munich will attack after the start of the game. Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur has a certain advantage in strength, so there is no need to take such risks. He can play more patiently, so Tottenham Hotspur didn't force it after the start of the game.
