When the bus that Hoffenheim players took to the Wembley Stadium, they were all shocked by what they saw. No matter how calm they seemed before the game, they were all a group of players who had never played in the Champions League final. They were inevitably a little excited when facing such a grand scene.

The magnificent Wembley Stadium stood in front of them, and the iconic double towers disappeared, but this did not detract from its majesty. An arch of 133 meters high spanned the sky above Wembley Stadium and shone brightly in the night sky.

This is a symbol of the new Wembley Stadium, which is highlighted in the new logo of Wembley Stadium.

What is more shocking than the brightly lit Wembley Stadium is the dense crowds of people around the stadium. These are fans who are watching this game. The new Wembley Stadium can accommodate 90,000 fans to watch the game at the same time, so you can imagine how many people there are outside the stadium now - without 90,000, half of the scene is spectacular.

After a day of calmness, I disappeared when I saw the magnificent stadium and the dense fans. Many Hoffenheim players lay by the window and looked curiously at everything outside. Although they have experienced many battles, have been to many places, and have seen many high-end stadiums, this is the first time in a magnificent stadium like Wembley, and it is the Champions League final, and no game they have participated in before can match it.

Even Chu Zhongtian is here for the first time to play in this stadium. The only team who has experience in playing at Wembley Stadium is Van Nisstruy, and he is at the old Wembley Stadium. At that time, he was a member of Manchester United and represented Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

"Look at this stadium! Tsk tsk! I think it's better than the Allianz stadium!"

"Then the arch won't fall down, right?"

“It’s so dazzling…”

“It’s so exciting to play on a court like this!”

Unlike Hoffenheim, the country bumpkins, Barcelona players did not lie on the window and marvel at Wembley Stadium when they arrived at the stadium. They were just doing their own things, some were resting, some were listening to music, some were chatting with their companions, and some were playing with their mobile phones. Many of them had participated in the Champions League finals twice, so it was no wonder that such scenes were used to.

Before the game, Hoffenheim's players were very calm, while Barcelona seemed very active. As the game approached, the calmer people became Barcelona players, and Hoffenheim's players became unstoppable nervous and excited.

※※Although many Chinese fans may not get up, the live broadcast of CCTV Sports Channel has begun. In fact, their live broadcast started at half past midnight. The TV station invited several football experts as guests, including Zhang Lu, Tao Wei and Gong Lei, and Duan Bin was hosted in the rear of Beijing. CCTV went to give a live broadcast commentary on this game, and the person who commented on the scene was He Ping.

The reason why I prepared two hours and fifteen minutes of live broadcast before the Champions League final and even sent a commentator to the front to comment on it was entirely because Chinese player Chu Zhongtian participated in this final, and the domestic attention to this game was no less than that of the World Cup final. Since there is such a high level of attention, the TV station naturally needs to fully satisfy everyone's wishes.

The three guests analyzed the technical characteristics, styles, and predicted the starting lineup of these two teams. At the same time, they also played mini-games that predicted the score.

When everyone predicts the score, they will first say this: "Femalely speaking, I hope Hoffenheim wins. But..."

But what? But Barcelona's strength is one end after all, and it will be difficult for Hoffenheim to win. It seems that only the score is left. Everyone agrees that although Hoffenheim has a high chance of losing the game, they will score at least one goal in the game. After all, Hoffenheim has a strong attack power.

Finally, Duan Bin smiled after listening to the predictions of the three guests: "It seems that we can only look forward to Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in this game..."

※※※Emily and Wu Qingyu followed Boss John and others into the stands. The stands that could accommodate 90,000 people were quickly filled. After the two teams arrived at the stadium, many fans stranded outside accelerated their entry.

She looked up at the private room. Yesterday she received a call from Chu Zhongtian’s father, telling her that he and Chu Zhongtian’s mother also came to watch the football on site, booked a private room, and asked Emily if she wanted to come to watch the football together. Emily told him that she wanted to watch the football with her friends.

This is the first time Chu Zhongtian's father has come to watch his son's game on site. I don't know how many people's hearts have touched this final.

※※※After the players on both sides arrived at the stadium, they rested for a while, and were kicked out for a warm-up.

Rangnick was observing the players and found that although these players deliberately made an expression of indifferent expression, they were actually a little nervous. After all, this was their first time participating in a Champions League final. Although they had won the domestic league championship before, they were still incomparable to this one. He felt that instead of letting everyone stay here and create a more tense atmosphere, it would be better to let them all warm up and use the method of consuming physical strength to make them forget their nervousness.

After watching the players run out of the locker room one after another, he breathed a sigh of relief - more than those players are nervous? He has no experience, is he very nervous?

Although he did enough homework before the game, watching videos, analyzing opponents, writing filings, and preparing countermeasures for various possible situations, this does not make him confident. If he plays this game with the mentality of losing less and losing as a win, he may not be under pressure. But who can still have such a mentality in this respect? Who came to the finals to compete for the runner-up? Who doesn’t want to win the championship trophy and stand on the highest podium?

So it was destined that he could not deal with this game with a peaceful mindset. He believed that Guardiola would not be calm either.

In fact, everyone is nervous, it’s just the level of nervousness.

He thought a lot about this game - what if we lose the ball in a few minutes of the start of the game? What if we lead in a few minutes of the start of the game? What if we get a draw in the end of the game? What if we get a behind in the last few minutes of the game? What if we get a lead in a few minutes of the game? What if we get a top-time game? What if we get a penalty kick? What if we get a penalty kick... All kinds of thoughts are hovering in his head, and he shook his head hard, as if this would make his mind clear.

※※※In fact, Chu Zhongtian’s mind was not very clear, especially when he walked into the stadium and saw the almost packed stands, his mind "boomed" and it seemed to explode. The blood was pouring upwards, and he couldn’t stop it. His body was stretching out and gently swaying!

Chu Zhongtian knew that this was caused by excitement and tension, but he could not do so. He had to calm himself down. He was the team's brain, core, commander, and commander tower. If he lost his calmness, then don't expect the team to perform normally.

Such a game is not exciting enough, and if you are too excited, there will be problems.

And not only do you have to calm yourself down, but you also have to calm everyone down and don’t be too excited - he has seen several teammates showing such signs.

So he suddenly yelled.

Everyone was startled by his throat and turned their heads to look at him.

Chu Zhongtian looked at his teammates who were surprised and puzzled and smiled: "Now I am normal! I was a little nervous and excited just now. I wanted to calm myself down, so I shouted. Now it's okay!"

Everyone looked at each other and understood. So they followed suit, and both of them shouted.

For a moment, in the half of the game, I saw that Hoffenheim players did not start warming up immediately, but raised their heads and whistled, just like a group of ducks.

Their strange behavior attracted the attention of others. The fans in the stands pointed at them and talked.

"Look, it's a Hoffenheim player!"

"What are they doing?"

"Why are you yelling at me if you're okay?"

"Are you too nervous or too excited?"

"I'm scared by such a big scene?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Many neutral and Barcelona fans laughed.

Even many Hoffenheim fans can't understand what they are doing. They have watched the game warm-up many times, but it is the first time they have seen it with a yell. Is it because of the body of a hot voice?

Barcelona players are also incomprehensible about their opponents' actions.

Many people will glance over there intentionally or unintentionally.

"What are they doing?"

"God knows..."

“It’s so strange…”

"Are you so excited? Some people will want to yell when they are excited."

"That's not the whole team yelling like that, right?"

"Hi, a bunch of rural bullies..."

"Is it the first time participating in the Champions League final? It's understandable, understandable."

While warming up, they talked about their opponents and talked a lot.

It is hard to say whether Chu Zhongtian's voice can help his teammates get rid of their nervousness, but at least they can make their opponents get some snacks when warming up. It's also useful... After the yell, the Hoffenheim players started to warm up.

"Well... it seems that I'm not too nervous..."

"The body is not shaking anymore, haha!"

It does seem to be a little effective... Both sides warm up for thirty minutes, because Barcelona started warming up earlier, so they left the court first, and later Hoffenheim left the stadium. The noise that appeared due to the warm-up of the players on both sides gradually became smaller. Fans also need to rest. They must now let their throats rest, because they will yell continuously for ninety minutes, even one hundred and twenty minutes, or longer. In addition, they have to hurry to go to the bathroom. Before watching the game, everyone drank a lot of beer. If they urged to urinate in the game later, it would be inconvenient - the game was very fierce and exciting scenes could happen at any time. If they missed a wonderful goal because of going to the bathroom, it would be a big loss.

Everyone went to rest, and Wembley Stadium was a little quieter.

But this silence cannot last for too long.

※※Everyone entered the locker room, and Rangnick was the last one to come in. After he came in, the assistant coach next to the door closed the door.

Everyone changed their clothes and looked at the head coach. They all knew that the head coach had something to say.

"To be honest, everyone. If someone said to me five years ago, 'Your team will play in the Champions League final', I would definitely think he was making fun of me. Because that was simply impossible. I just took over five years ago. This is a team, or an amateur team in the regional league. At that time, the boss of the team, Mr. Hope, had the biggest ambition to promote the team to the First League. No one expected that we would stand in the Champions League finals in five years."

"It's like a dream today. To outsiders, we've lost our luck. But only we know how much effort we have put in for today!"

Speaking of this, Rangnik paused, looking at his players, and from their faces he saw a firm belief and strong confidence, a nervous and overly excited expression no longer.

"Whether it's a main player or a substitute, everyone has played their role. We are a whole, and we can't get to where we are without anyone. I'm glad to work with you, it's my glory."

"It is our honor to be able to play football under your hands!" Salihovic shouted. He had a deep relationship with Rangnick, because if it weren't for Rangnick, he would never be today. He might be an amateur player. If he is lucky, he might be a player of a Class A team, but he would never reach the Champions League final and win the league prize.

Rangnick smiled and nodded to Salihovic, and then continued: "We are a country team. We came out of a small village. It is logical that we should be content to reach the final, but who has entered the final just to win the runner-up? Even if our opponent is strong Barcelona, ​​we have no reason to give up in advance."

"And no matter how powerful they are, they are only eleven people, we are twelve people." After saying that, he pointed at Chu Zhongtian.

Everyone laughed.

Everyone has heard of this joke many times, but it is particularly effective to say it today. In an interview, Rangnick said that as long as Chu Zhongtian is on the court, his team will always have one more person than others. So some media said that Hoffenheim has twelve people playing on the court.

When it comes to Chu Zhongtian, everyone will feel very at ease. With him, there are infinite possibilities. Who has the greatest contribution to the finals? No one will choose someone other than Chu Zhongtian. If Chu Zhongtian had not been Chu Zhongtian, they might have been eliminated in the group stage. Let’s talk about it further. If Chu Zhongtian had not been Chu Zhongtian, it is hard to say whether they could win the Bundesliga championship or participate in the Champions League. Now the old players in the team still remember that the club announced it.

When Blau bought such a Chinese player from Ligue 1 team Metz, he was surprised - they really couldn't figure out the factors of "Ligue 1", "Metz" and "China" together, what qualifications are worthy of the 30 million euros? Salihovic was very dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian because of Chu Zhongtian's arrival. Now he has long admitted that Chu Zhongtian is indeed better than him and is more suitable for this position than himself.

Chu Zhongtian's arrival made great contributions to the team's strength improvement, but football is a sport of eleven people after all. Even if Chu Zhongtian is two, there is still nine people missing. Therefore, the improvement in strength has not improved rapidly. Chu Zhongtian's arrival has the greatest improvement of the team from spirit and temperament. It is because he gave this country bumpkin team a "champion heart". He told everyone not to surrender and admit defeat no matter how powerful the enemy is. In the first season of the Bundesliga, when everyone was only satisfied with the half-time league championship, he had already issued a declaration of winning the championship. When they only played for one season of the Champions League, he had set his goal in the final. When everyone felt that reaching the Champions League final was already considered completing the task, he said why not try to defeat Barcelona to win the championship?

Formerly, such a captain led them forward for a while before they could reach the top.

Seeing that everyone turned their attention to Chu Zhongtian, Rangnick followed the flow and said, "Chu, let's say a few words."

Chu Zhongtian did not refuse and stood up: "Everyone knows the meaning of this game. If we win, we will be the European champion. If we lose, it proves that we are vulnerable in front of Barcelona and we deserve to be looked down upon by people all over the world. When I think about the fact that we have to endure such treatment once we lose, I feel angry!"

He clenched his fists.

"When I was a fan, if the team I liked won the ball, the next day I would go around the world to find news reports about the game, just to enjoy the joy. But if the team I support lost, I would avoid reading the news about it for several days, because I can guess that the media will always bring winners to heaven and step on the losers in the mud!"

"I can accept failure, but I can't accept failures that are ridiculed by the whole world. Before this game, the whole world thought that Barcelona would win, and the suspense was just a few goals. If we lose, can you imagine what they will say about us then? I simply don't want to think about it!"

Chu Zhongtian is now familiar with the matter of giving passionate speeches in the locker room. It can even be said that he did better than head coach Rangnick. Of course, Rangnick himself is not the kind of coach who is good at motivating.

The teammates were successfully motivated by Chu Zhongtian. They knew very well how the outside media reported them during this period. The unconcealed contempt of the reporters at Heathrow Airport hurt everyone.

The despair that they had at first learned that their opponent was Barcelona had already been to Java by them, and now they can't wait to start the game.

They want the whole world to see whether Barcelona is invincible and whether Hoffenheim is here to be the champion background.

"Remember how our fans sang?"

Everyone sang in unison: "We are Hoffenheim!! Let you taste our football!"

Chu Zhongtian waved his fist: "I'm done!"
Chapter completed!
