Chapter 171: That unbearable past!
According to the arrangements of the organizing committee, Milan can go to the French Stadium to adapt to the venue on the afternoon of the 16th, while Arsenal can adapt to the venue on the morning of the 17th.
At 4 pm on the same day when I arrived in Paris, Milan appeared at the French Stadium. There were a large number of reporters waiting outside the stadium, hoping to ask for a few words from the Milan players.
When Milan and his party got off the bus, they were surrounded by reporters. Fortunately, the security guards in the court were maintaining order, otherwise the scene would have been out of control.
"Mr. Ancelotti, will you arrange such a defense line tomorrow night in the final? Will Maldini still serve as a full-back?"
"Is Don and Ronnie a partner in the forward line?"
"What impact does Gattuso's absence have on Milan?"
Ancelotti wanted to throw countless questions over, but Ancelotti ignored these reporters and walked directly to the stadium. The reporters saw that they could not pry open the head coach's mouth and turned their attention to the players.
Ronnie became their preferred target, and a reporter wearing yellow clothes asked: "Eight years ago, on this turf, you failed to score. Will you have the confidence to score in the final tomorrow?"
A beautiful reporter wanted to get Ronnie's attention and asked loudly: "Is there any rumor that you are in love with Sana Kolochenko, is this true?"
Sana Kolochenko, a third-level porn star in Ukraine, Ronnie wanted to answer a question from a previous reporter, but when he heard this, he immediately turned around and left.
The reporters looked at the beautiful reporter with reproachful eyes, and the beautiful reporter shrugged innocently. The reporters targeted Tang Jue again.
"Tang, before the peak battle between Barcelona and Milan, the Spanish media once said that players cannot perform normally when facing important games for the first time. When facing their first Champions League final, are you under pressure? How are you going to deal with these pressures?"
Tang Jue said with a smile: "When I was at the airport, I said that as long as it is a competition and as long as I want to perform in the competition, I will definitely be under pressure. As for the way to relieve stress, I will not tell you."
The beautiful reporter asked: "Before the game against Barcelona, you said, 'Barcelona's goal is always open to you!', the final is coming tomorrow. What are you going to say to Arsenal?"
Tang Jue thought for a while and said: "Arsenal can eliminate Real Madrid and Juventus, which shows that their strength is not as weak as it seems. They have done a good job in defense this season, and I will try my best to break through their goal in the game."
After Tang Jue said these words, he suddenly lost his mood. He thought that these reporters always asked these questions. He said to the reporter: "In fact, there will be many unexpected things in the game. Our two teams will give you a wonderful game."
After saying that, he left these media reporters and went to chase his teammates.
Before Ancelotti came, he contacted the stadium security guards and prevented these reporters from appearing on the stadium. These tragic reporters had to leave the French Stadium in disappointment, and some reporters were still standing outside the stadium.
Located in Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris, France, the French Stadium is a multi-purpose large sports venue with a capacity of 80,000 spectators. The French Stadium was built for the 1998 World Cup football match. It was held as a venue for the 1998 World Cup final. On July 12, 1998, France defeated Brazil 3-0 in the World Cup final and won its first World Cup championship at home.
Ronnie came to the locker room for eight years, and the layout has not changed at all. The only change is that his teammates around him are different. After entering the locker room, Ronnie became silent. This was once the eternal pain in his heart.
Kaka comforted and patted Ronnie on her shoulder. Ronnie looked up at Kaka, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Kaka knew what happened here that night. After he joined Brazil, Carlos once told him that before Ronnie took the final, she suddenly found her physical discomfort and had spasms. At that time, head coach Zagalo proposed to let him come on as a substitute.
The stubborn Ronnie did not agree with the head coach's opinion, and he asked himself to start. In the 1994 World Cup, Ronnie watched his teammates win the Hercules Cup on the bench. As the team's number one star, he certainly hopes to fight on the court and help the team win the World Cup championship again.
The final result of the game fans all over the world knew that Ronnie was completely out of shape in the finals. The French team, who made it to the finals for the first time, won the World Cup championship. No one expected that the most proud person in this game and the most frustrated person eventually became good friends.
After the game, Ronnie cried bitterly. He complained in his heart that if he didn't insist on playing, the situation might be another result. After the game, in order to protect Ronnie, the Brazilian team deliberately revealed news through certain channels that Ronnie had become unwell the night before and even foamed at the mouth, but the sponsor Nike company asked Ronnie to play. So Ronnie had to play.
Only the teammates of Brazil knew the truth. Four years later, Ronnie led the Brazilian team to the top of the world with eight goals, and finally gave his teammates a world champion.
The teammates had all changed their clothes, and Ronnie lowered her head. Tang Jue looked at Ronnie strangely and said loudly: "Ronnie, what are you doing? Change your clothes quickly!"
Ronnie still didn't move, Kaka hurriedly said in Tang Jue's ear: "Don't disturb him, he is thinking about something." Tang Jue looked at Kaka in confusion, and he quickly knew the reason for Ronnie's abnormal behavior. However, he still whispered in Kaka's ear with some strangeness: "It is said that the sponsor asked him to play, and he doesn't need to be sad."
Kaka smiled and shook her head, just saying, "No matter what the reason is, everyone will be sad." Kaka did not tell Tang Jue the real reason, after all, this is a secret within the Brazilian team.
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, after dinner in the hotel, everyone returned to their room. Tang Jue and Kaka were about to drink something, but Ronnie pushed open the door and came in.
Kaka asked him with a smile: "Coffee?"
Ronnie nodded and sat on the chair. Tang Jue took out a can of West Lake Longjing from his suitcase and prepared to make tea. After a while, the three of them sat in front of the table. The smell of coffee and the fragrance of Longjing were wafting in the room.
Ronnie glanced at Tang Jue and looked down at the glass cup in front of Tang Jue. The tea leaves in the water were rolling up and down.
Ronnie asked lightly: "Do you think I'm acting strange in the afternoon?"
In the afternoon training, Ronnie came out of the locker room after everyone trained for a few minutes. Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Everyone is a sad place, and there are sad things. The French Stadium is a sad place for you, and I understand your behavior."
Tang Jue's training ground for Team 2 appeared in his mind. After he had cured his illness, he returned there with hope. Who knew that the club did not send an official to the scene.
Tang Jue's face showed a painful look and continued, "Lyon is my sad place."
Ronnie and Kaka had heard about Tang Jue, and Ronnie breathed a long breath and said, "Your situation is much better than mine. You will join Saint-Germain immediately after leaving Lyon, but it took me four years to prove myself again in the finals.
During those four years, I experienced many injuries and missed many important competitions. Perhaps in the eyes of others, I was a tragic figure.
But I refused to tragedy and refused to be the protagonist of the tragedy. So I used all my skills to withstand the pressure and fulfilled my dream of the World Cup in 2002."
Ronnie finished speaking. The room was very quiet. Ronnie's words contained a lot of information. What Tang Jue admired the most was the sentence "I refuse tragedy and refuse to be the protagonist of the tragedy."
Tang Jue picked up the teacup and took a slight sip. A unique fragrance penetrated into his nostrils along with his mouth.
"Do you know why I suddenly had cramps before the final?"
Ronnie broke the silence and suddenly asked Tang Jue. Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
Ronnie shook her head with a wry smile. He said lightly: "There is a word in my words just now, 'Hold the pressure', you may not have noticed this word."
Tang Jue frowned and looked at Ronnie and asked, "Did you mean it is caused by pressure?"
Ronnie nodded and said, "I went to the doctor to check my body carefully after the game. This is the answer the doctor gave me."
The rules summarized by the Spanish media are really correct. If it weren't for listening to Ronnie's words with his own ears, Tang Jue would never think that Ronnie was really under pressure.
Tang Jue thought for a while, exhaled a long breath, and said, "In the eyes of others, we have high incomes and great fame. How many people can know the pressure we are carrying. There is too much time for this pressure that we can hardly bear."
Kaka does not have the same feeling as Tang Jue. Milan has many stars, such as Pirlo, Gattuso, Maldini, Nesta, Inzaghi, etc. Standing behind these stars, Kaka does not have as much pressure as Ronnie.
Tang Jue is different from Kaka. He often says something in front of the media, which puts himself under tremendous pressure. In addition, as time goes by, he gradually becomes the guarantee of Milan's victory. The outside world has high expectations for him, and this expectation is a kind of pressure.
Just like Ronnie rejects the tragedy, he is a person who refuses mediocrity and has imposed a lot of pressure on himself.
...
Half a moon outside the window climbed into the night sky and shone cold moonlight. The entire city of Paris is shrouded in the night. Modern people have to compare themselves with the power of nature, so they created a city that never sleeps. Paris is a city that never sleeps. Those handsome men and beautiful women are dressing up in their rooms, going to different cocktail parties and encountering a beautiful love.
The Milan team members live on the 19th floor. In a room on the 12th floor of the hotel, Patrick is dressing up carefully. She is preparing for her lover to surprise him.
...
Ronnie said: "The outside world is saying that I played because of the sponsor's request..."
Kaka realized what Ronnie was going to say, and he stopped Ronnie from continuing with his eyes. Ronnie waved his hand to Kaka and continued, "Actually, I asked myself to play."
Tang Jue looked at Ronnie in surprise, which was very different from the rumors outside. Kaka shook his head. He didn't understand why Ronnie told Tang Jue about these things. This was the secret of the Brazilian team. Kaka realized that Ronnie's attitude towards Tang Jue was different, and he had a question in his heart: Why did Ronnie treat him differently?
"I failed in the end. In order to protect me, the team had all the rumors from the outside world." Ronnie looked at Tang Jue and said: "In the game against Barcelona, I noticed that you changed your playing style when you were behind zero to three. You are lucky than me, you succeeded. I think you were ready to face the failure at that time."
Tang Jue nodded and said, "It's true, I think only I can save the team."
