972 Lose Before the Battle
After 24 days of competition, the European Cup finally reached its most intense moment.
Although Kiev had held many European Cups before, there were other cities holding events at that time. But now, when all other games have ended, the whole world has focused on Kiev.
But what is interesting is that when Germany and Spain chose to arrive in Kiev a day early, the city passing by the Dnieper River did not feel much passion for the European Cup, and even the most impressive thing before were the protesting naked girls.
This made Germany and Spain's almost facing a big enemy's arrival seem a little fussy.
But on the second day, the day of the European Cup final, the whole city seemed to have an eruption of a volcano. Fans, reporters from afar, and UEFA officials and staff who had already arranged and prepared everything here, this made the streets and alleys of Kiev full of tension and excitement before the European Cup final, as well as joy!
Football never brings opposition and violence, but happiness!
According to TV reports, Chopin Airport in Kiev has ushered in the busiest day of the year. During this day, planes almost landed at Chopin Airport in Kiev. Some of them went to other cities to watch the football and then flew to Kiev, while others came to support Germany or Spain, and even Caesar, who supported them.
The airport staff and the city police station, despite their preparations, still underestimated the atmosphere of the finals, which made the atmosphere of the finals in Kiev like a rocket soaring into the sky. You can feel the atmosphere of the finals and the passion of the fans everywhere.
On the day of the final, major European bookmakers also offered the latest odds. As the number one hottest, Spain's championship odds were as high as 1.32, but although their final opponent, Germany, had a slightly higher championship odds than before, it was only 2.85, far lower than Spain.
According to William Hill's explanation, Spain's strength advantage is very obvious, and they had a competition with the German team in the group stage. Boske began to adjust his team's tactics after that game. As a result, Spain performed very steadily all the way, almost perfectly.
On the other hand, the defense problem of the German team has been solved to some extent, but Yang Cheng's team has not been tested to this day. At least no one knows whether he can maintain defensive stability when facing a team like Spain.
Of course, it does not mean that Spain will definitely win the championship, because in the history of the European Cup, no team has been able to defend the title successfully. But now Spain's advantage is so obvious, and it is also an unknown whether it can break this history.
Unlike the German team who always kept the itinerary confidential and conducted closed training as soon as they arrived in Kiev. Unlike the German team, after Spain arrived in Kiev, the team went on vacation and the players could get rest time, and the training carried out by the team was also made public to the outside world throughout the process.
This is seen as a place where Spain is more confident than Germany. Bosque's team can almost be said to be a typical representative of the unchanging response to changes. Many people hope to see again that Bosque and his Spain once again brought another painful lesson to Yang Cheng, who was claimed to be unbeaten in the finals of the competition.
But after the training class, Boske took the time to accept an interview with reporters. He said that as long as Yang Cheng is present, the German team will definitely pose a threat to Spain.
"I know Yang Cheng's strength better than anyone else. I firmly believe that as long as he is here, the German team is a first-class strong team, because he is the kind of head coach who can improve the combat effectiveness of a team by himself. So we will not relax at all against the German team. I believe my players are also very clear about this!"
"We will continue to stick to our football philosophy during the game. I will still choose to attack, attack, and attack again. We will play offensive football with a big attack. I always feel that we have the obligation to play beautiful offensive battles, and my players are also capable of playing the best offensive football."
"However, I don't think the German team will defend the defense line. In fact, in the past few games, the German team has found a very reasonable set of tactics. They scored many goals and their defense is very solid. I don't think Yang Cheng will give up this stable tactic and adopt a more conservative and passive strategy."
"Yang Cheng is born to be the kind of head coach who exists in pursuit of offensive football. He has always given people the impression that he is actively attacking football. So I believe that in the final, we will definitely see a brave German team because their head coach is Yang Cheng!"
But Bosque refused to admit that Spain is a favorite team to win the championship. He believed that the chances of both sides winning in this game were the same, and neither of them could gain an advantage from the other side.
"We cannot look back at the finals, because the historical results and the past few European Cups cannot change anything. These cannot automatically win the game, nor can we make the German team give up the game voluntarily, so I think it is meaningless to explore these."
"We are thinking about how to enjoy it now. This game is our second European Cup final. What we want is to play well and show everyone our honor and desire for the championship. We want to prove that Spain's football style is the best!"
Boske's remarks were graceful and restrained, but without showing any weakness at all, which won the praise of countless media people. On the contrary, the ignorant Yang Cheng hid from reporters as soon as he arrived in Kiev. The media began to fire one by one, believing that the German team had already lost before the finals.

"From Dad Bo's words, it proves one thing: If a person learns well for a year, he will only learn bad things for one day!"
When Yang Cheng saw Boske's interview, he smiled and shook his head. At least he could hear Boske's psychological intentions.
Although this old Spanish fat man always praises Yang Cheng and his German team, he actually knows that he is talking about Yang Cheng and the German team cannot play a defensive counterattack. It seems that Yang Cheng is not the one who plays a defensive counterattack.
"If I lose to him, this old guy will definitely be the first to come and show off!"
Yang Cheng had a very thorough understanding of Boske's "vicious heart". This analysis made Benitez and others laugh, but it was true that they didn't expect that Boske would be really good to talk.
If Yang Cheng is a person who cannot stand others' praise or relies on his past fame and status and cannot let go of his face, and if he is so proud of his hand, then he will be able to fight against each other with a long and be amazed?
"It seems that he had expected that you would fight back to death!" Benitez smiled.
It can be heard from Boske's words that he hopes that Yang Cheng will play against the opponent, which proves that he thinks that Yang Cheng may play against the counterattack.
"I really can't stand firm. If I keep firm, we may not be able to stand and get a better chance!" Yang Cheng said helplessly.
When playing against a team like Spain, if you put control completely, it is equivalent to letting the opponent slaughter. So what Yang Cheng wants is to give up the ball in advance, but he must firmly control the control of the space, and then control a certain game situation, and slowly find opportunities to get it back.
He always felt that Spain was accumulating strength to prepare for a key battle, but Bosque's team did not encounter much test along the way. Even the other two teams in the Death Group failed to pose a threat to Spain. After leaving the Death Group, their opponents were too weak.
This made Spain's state never stimulated and failed to perform its best state and passion for the game.
However, now playing in Germany, the European Cup final. If the state is not played, then you can only take it home and eat yourself. So Yang Cheng is sure that Spain will definitely do its best in this game.
The German team's condition has also been well adjusted recently. This can be seen from the players' performance and has always been steadily improving. This makes it an unknown number for the German team to perform in this final.
"After all, this is still a battle for control. Whoever is in a good state and whoever fights for control is the king!" Paul Bayer thought it was cruel.
Two years of hard work is just for the next 90 minutes. Who says it is not cruel?
After hearing this, Yang Cheng smiled, stood up, "I'll have a cup of coffee!" Then he turned around and left.
"I..." Paul Bayer also wanted to go, but was pulled by Benitez.
"What are you doing?" asked the Spanish fat man looking at Paul Bayer.
"It's rare for someone to treat you!" Paul Bayer took advantage of the situation and was confident.
Benitez shook his head angrily, "You are so blind, let him be alone!"
After he said this, Paul Baier noticed something. When he thought about it, it seemed that it was right. Yang Cheng stayed with them all day today, either watching TV or chatting. It seemed normal, but if you think about it carefully, you could realize that he was a little abnormal, precisely because he was too normal!
This is the European Cup final. Can he maintain a good attitude?
Thinking about the South African World Cup final, Yang Cheng was nervous for a long time. Now it seems that he is pretending to be calm. How could this old boy not take the final seriously? He has been working hard until now!
"We are just working, and we feel the pressure. Do you think he doesn't?" Benitez sighed in sighing as he looked at Yang Cheng's departure.
Paul Bayer sighed when he heard this, "All the pressure is on him!"
"So, let him be alone!" Benitez sighed again. At this time, their assistants could not help him, they could only rely on him.
Sometimes, only they can understand why Yang Cheng left Real Madrid and professional football because the pressure was too great, especially with a masochistic personality like Yang Cheng. He always doesn't want to disappoint people, so he takes everything on his shoulders. The pressure is so great that it is unimaginable.
However, such people are often easily loved and respected by others. At least Yang Cheng is extremely admired by their closest assistants, let alone players, fans and others.

Although Benitez and Paul Bayer wanted to leave Yang Cheng alone, in fact, this guy is not alone.
Sitting in the hotel cafe. Opposite Yang Cheng was Charles gnawing ice cream, and Charlize Theron, who was big belly. They had just called Yang Cheng's home, but the two old people actually said they wanted to watch the live broadcast of the game and said a lot of words to encourage Yang Cheng. This made him feel a little moved for no reason.
It is really strange that when he was alone, he could be heartless and scrupulous, but with a child, he seemed to naturally want to give his child more and better things.
People who have never been a father will never understand the feeling of a father growing up day by day when he looks at his children.
It was as if at this moment, Yang Cheng watched Charles eat ice cream without any image in front of him, and he could always keep a faint smile. He just watched with concentration and felt a sense of peace in his heart.
"It's over!" Charles finally finished his last bite of ice cream, and he was about to return triumphantly after completing a difficult task.
Practicing martial arts made his body strong and well-proportioned, but his figure grew taller and taller. His outline was becoming more and more similar to Yang Cheng, but he also had the shadow of Charlize Theron, who was somewhat deeper. Many people who have seen him said that his body combines all the advantages of Yang Cheng and Charlize Theron.
"Wipe your mouth!" Yang Cheng pulled out a tissue and handed it over.
"Thank you dad!" Charles took it and rubbed it around his lips in a random way. He pinched it into a ball and placed it on the table.
"It's vacation, where are you going to play?" Yang Cheng asked casually.
Charles thought for a while and curled his lips, "I promised to go back to see my grandparents, and my master asked me to go back and strengthen my practice. I have been practicing a very powerful boxing style recently!" As he said that, the kid was fiddling with his martial arts posture on the table.
"Have the school's homework been completed?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Charles smiled. "Dad, I've finished all my homework in one day. Isn't it?" The boy finally smiled and asked Yang Cheng for rewards. His appearance made Yang Cheng and Charlize Theron laugh endlessly.
"I've thought about it, what about me. After seeing my grandparents, they went back to the United States to practice martial arts with my master, and then I came back to accompany my mother. When my sister was born, what do you think of my arrangement?" Charles offered treasure again.
Yang Cheng nodded, "It's okay!"
"It's okay?" Charles looked like you were really stingy. "I said dad, I... I'm like this, you said it's okay?"
When Yang Cheng heard this, he was amused, "Where are you?"
Charles shook his head bored, "How come I have a dad like you!"
This old-fashioned sentence made Yang Cheng and Charlize Theron laugh so hard that they almost broke their anger, especially the latter. She covered her big belly with a big belly and laughed very hard. This kid sometimes likes to pretend to be old.
"I'll tell you, Charles!" Yang Cheng explained with a serious expression, "I'll be careful when I arrived in the stands tonight. Look at Mommy, do you know?" This is also what he cares about the most.
Charles made an OK gesture, signaling his dad not to worry, "I will look at mommy and my brother!"
It was only recently that Yang Cheng learned that Charlize Theron asked Yang Cheng to take the key to live in Munich. In fact, he was with Melissa Terrio and his son, and Charles had a happy time with Young.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng let go of his heart.
"By the way, dad!" Charles saw his mother raising his eyebrows at him, and immediately thought of what Charlize Theron had told him before, looked at Yang Cheng immediately and spoke up.
"What's up?"
"I want to say, although, I think you will definitely win, but even if you lose, I mean if you are unlucky and lose the game, you will still be the most powerful dad in my heart!"
As soon as these words were said, Yang Cheng felt sore for no reason. Why did this kid suddenly say this?
"Boy, who taught you what you said?" Yang Cheng calmed down his emotions and cursed with a smile.
"My master said, he told me that practicing martial arts is not for fighting, but for strengthening the body, but for himself. I think playing football should be like this, did you say that, Mommy?" The boy looked at Charlize Theron again.
This is completely exposed!
"He actually cares about you!" Charlize Theron waited until Charles went to play, and looked at his son's back with a loving look on his face, grabbed Yang Cheng's hand and said, "It's just that he is still young and doesn't know how to say it, but along the way he said how to cheer for his father, I can see!"
"Of course, our Yang family has all produced filial children!" Yang Cheng was moved, but he looked cool on the surface.
Charlize Theron burst into laughter, and then threw away his basket of hygienic eyes, thinking that this guy was too stinky and beautiful.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a game!" Yang Cheng smiled and gently pinched Charlize Theron's soft hand, but his eyes looked out from the window of the hotel coffee house. The city of Kiev was in the distance.
He could imagine that at this moment, fans of German and Spanish teams from all over the world could be seen everywhere in the city of Kiev. They traveled thousands of miles to Kiev, and they must have been to support their teams, hoping that the teams they support and love could achieve the final victory.
And he could also guess that at this moment in Germany and around the world, there will be countless fans like this group of fans who came to Kiev. The difference is that they may be at home, in bars, in squares, and in various occasions, but their moods are the same.
That is to cheer for the team you love, and hope that your team can become the final champion!
Leading the team and satisfying the desires of this group of fans is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of all head coaches!
