Chapter 159 Prospect
The day before the UEFA Champions League final, the battle between Manchester United and Inter Milan on the Chinese Internet has been settled. The number of players is at an absolute disadvantage, and the Inter Milan fans who do not take advantage of the "righteousness" lose.On social media such as Weibo, "Cheer for Li Xiaoming on the night of the Champions League final".Fans have already made the headlines on Weibo. For this country known as a football desert, the emergence of a group of talents headed by Li Xiaoming, along with their firm foothold in the European arena, also has more and more opportunities. More and more people are paying attention to them who show their style in the European arena.
Chinese fans used various methods to cheer for Li Xiaoming, and various companies that had nothing to do with sports also took the opportunity to market.
Some selfies with candy bars cheering for Li Xiaoming were posted on the Internet.Interesting roadside interview: Why are there still various marketing accounts taking the opportunity to draw a lottery for this Champions League final, saying that as long as Manchester United can win the championship, they will draw a few people from the people who retweeted Weibo to give away various prizes...
Even Li Xiaoming's Weibo has a Weibo headline that reads: "Follow and retweet, and three people will be selected to get exquisite and high-quality Weibo..." This is also his responsibility as the image ambassador of Sina Weibo, but this Weibo Once released, Li Xiaoming brought millions of followers, and Li Xiaoming's Weibo follower, since its opening, has become a top celebrity celebrity V through the operation of professionals, and even has over ten million followers
Social media is really buzzing.On this day, it is estimated that many people are not in the mood to go to work and class. Whenever they have time, they will use their mobile phones and computers to browse Weibo and Space.
That night, only a few hours before the start of the Champions League final, CCTV broadcast the last program of the follow-up report, and the protagonist of the program this time was Manchester United.But it was not like the previous episodes where Li Xiaoming was asked to sit in front of the camera for an interview—considering that the competition was approaching, the TV station did not go to Li Xiaoming for an interview, fearing that it would affect his preparations.In fact, even if they went to look for it, the Manchester United Club would not agree, and Li Xiaoming probably would not accept this interview request.
So this episode, although Li Xiaoming is the main character, does show Li Xiaoming's journey in the Champions League this season from other angles, including his shots in the game, interviews before and after the game, and interviews with him. Interviews with other people - this time CCTV really worked hard, interviewing ordinary Manchester United fans on the streets of Manchester, and went to interview their own colleagues, those Chinese and foreign reporters who reported on Manchester United, and they also interviewed the commentary of Sky TV in England Party member Martin Taylor, let him talk about his views on Li Xiaoming.
Being able to find so many people shows that CCTV is still very thoughtful in this regard.After all, CCTV is famous for making football documentaries, and CCTV's productions must be high-quality products.Through the narration of these "outsiders", let Chinese fans have a more comprehensive understanding of Li Xiaoming, a new generation of players, and at the same time take everyone to review Li Xiaoming's Champions League journey this season.
Later, it was said that the ratings of this episode of the program were quite high, which is also a matter of course...
This is CCTV's Asian program.
After this episode ended, the host Duan Xuan finally reminded everyone not to forget the UEFA Champions League final at 45:[-] BJ time tomorrow morning, and the CCTV live broadcast will start at [-]:[-].
At that time, the live broadcast will probably start when the players board the bus at the hotel.
~
When the whole world began to look forward to the game, Li Xiaoming was taking a lunch break with his teammates in a hotel in Madrid.
In fact, not all players will sleep honestly, but Li Xiaoming really went to bed and fell asleep.
The recent training has exhausted him, the so-called turning grief and anger into strength is probably what Li Xiaoming did.
Since the end of the league, Li Xiaoming has devoted himself to Manchester United's training for the Champions League final.
So when it comes to the final battle, all you have to do is to recharge your batteries, take a good rest, and then exert your full strength on the court.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Manchester United players came out of the hotel and were about to board the car, there was a burst of cheers from the Manchester United fans outside.
The flashes of the cameras in the hands of reporters flicked on frequently.
Among these fans and reporters, there are also many Chinese faces.Chinese reporters are here to report on Li Xiaoming, this is their job, while Chinese fans are here purely to cheer for Li Xiaoming.Many of them are local Chinese or college students studying abroad.Moreover, after both sides of the Champions League final were released, it is said that in China, some people with a business vision launched a travel project of "watching the Champions League final live and cheering for Li Xiaoming" for a few days in Europe. It is said that the business is very hot.
But it’s easy to travel to Europe. You have to talk about air tickets and rooms, but it’s hard to buy tickets for the Champions League final.
So in fact, there are very few people who can come to the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid to watch the Champions League final.
But even so, there are still many Chinese fans who are willing to spend a lot of money to come to London, even if they can only wait outside the hotel where the Manchester United team stays, and watch Li Xiaoming from a distance, even if they can only watch it in a tavern or hotel in Madrid Live TV...they both would.
This is the long-suppressed enthusiasm of Chinese fans.
In the previous UEFA Champions League finals, it was not that Chinese fans did not go to the scene to watch the game. It was when football and national pride were linked, the energy that erupted was astonishing.
This is the first time a Chinese player has appeared on the stage of the Champions League final. This alone is enough to make many Chinese fans excited.
In addition to fans and tourists from China, there are also many Chinese students studying in the UK and Europe, and many of them are also fans.
The other players came out of the lobby, and amidst the cheers, they waved at most.After Li Xiaoming saw those compatriots, he simply walked over and took a group photo with them.
Then he boarded the bus amidst everyone's friendly cheers.

"Li Xiaoming also went to take a photo with the fans. He looked very relaxed and in a good mood. This is a good sign..." In the studio behind BJ, the host Duan Xuan had just finished watching "Once Upon a Time" with the guests. The real-time report sent back by Fang.
"But Li Xiaoming has always been like this. I really haven't seen him get nervous on the court..." said a guest.
"Sometimes it's really hard to believe that this is just a 19-year-old young man." Another guest Bai Songyan sighed with a smile. "Is there any player of this age in China who has the demeanor of a general like him? When I was 19 years old, I was still studying?"
"Chen Bin and the others are also good...they performed well in Europe this year." The host said.
"Of course." Bai Songyan nodded again and again, "But the feeling they give people is still different from that of Li Xiaoming. Li Xiaoming really has a kind of maturity beyond his age. He is only 19 years old, but his performance on the court The performance is like those veterans who have been playing for a long time, but without losing the drive and imagination of young people, I think he can become the core of the national team at the right time."
Bai Songyan spoke highly of Li Xiaoming, but it was no secret that he liked Li Xiaoming very much.As a fan, he has also participated in various football-related programs, and in these programs, he has praised Li Xiaoming more than once.
And in his imagination, the new national team should be this group of talented young people with dreams.
They are the future of Chinese football
But now, looking at the development trajectory of this group of people, it seems that it is possible to create a new situation as Bai Yansong thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the players arrived at the stadium, Real Madrid's home stadium, the Bernabéu Stadium, was the venue for this match, and the outside of the stadium was already crowded with people.Looking around, there were all Manchester United fans in red jerseys and Inter Milan fans in blue and black sword-striped shirts.
The fans of the two teams have not yet fully entered the stadium, but they are already outside the stadium.
This season, Inter Milan announced the Serie A for a whole season.And Manchester United did not give up much. It was not until the last moment that they unfortunately lost to Chelsea and lost a league championship.It can be said that both sides of the game are the overlords of their respective leagues.
As for the coaches of both sides, it is the most eye-catching.The direct dialogue between Ferguson and his old rival Mourinho has never been topical.
In 1998, Mourinho, who was working as a translator and assistant at Barcelona at the time, met the 57-year-old Ferguson, who later became a good friend of his.
In 2004, Mourinho, who gradually became famous in Porto, finally officially played against Ferguson as the head coach. It was the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 03/04 season. The Red Devils will stumble on Mourinho's Porto. The 1-2 defeat also paved the way for Manchester United to be eliminated in the second round. Keane's red card also made a furious Fogg refuse to shake hands with Mourinho.
But as the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together. In the summer of 2004, Mourinho, who led Porto to the top of Europe, immediately switched to Abramovich's Chelsea.
In the first round of the 2004/05 Premier League season, Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1-0. In that season, they double-killed the Red Devils and led the Blues to win the top league championship after 50 years.
In the ensuing 05/06 season, M's Blues made persistent efforts and continued to defend the Premier League title with an unstoppable momentum. Manchester United, who had missed the Premier League title for three consecutive years, also began to learn from it. Rinho's sudden emergence inspired fighting spirit,
However, although Ferguson's record against Mourinho is dismal, Ferguson has increasingly admired this colleague who is 22 years younger than himself. The two not only gradually turned enemies into friends, but even began to cherish each other. They would always drink a glass of red wine after the game Talk about old times.According to Ferguson's past personality, he has never been so tolerant of Manchester United's opponent coaches (such as Keegan and Wenger). As for Mourinho, who has enemies everywhere and is still at odds with Benitez and Wenger, The rare respect for Ferguson has to be amazing.
It is worth mentioning that the rise of the M's Blues inspired Ferguson's fighting spirit and competitive spirit, and Manchester United, who had tried their best, also won back the Premier League title in the 2006/07 season.Opened the era of Manchester United's three consecutive championships.And this time, the two parties reunited after three years.
~~~~~~~~~
After warming up, the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.
The two head coaches will make the final preparations for the game.
"Okay, guys, put down what you're doing and listen to me." In the Inter Milan dressing room, the last one to enter is always their coach Mourinho, and he closed the door by the way. , and then clapped his hands and said loudly.
All the busy Inter players stopped and turned to look at him.
"Without a doubt, this is our most important game of the season, more important than any league game. Because this game decides who will be the king of Europe," Mourinho began. "Some people outside worry that after we win the league title, we will lack motivation... But I know you, none of you are satisfied with just winning the league title. Our goal is the Champions League! Our champion It's the Triple Crown."
Mourinho's tone became harsh.She is trying her best to boost the fighting spirit and morale of her players.
"Returning to this stage after many years, are we just here to 'come here'? No! Of course not! We have overcome so many difficulties, just to come to win the runner-up? No! Of course not!" Mourinho pumped his fists wildly, the character coach's body language and impassioned tone infected the Inter players in the dressing room. "This season, we have won the league championship. We have won the Coppa Italia championship, and now we are on the final step. Don't leave any regrets for this wonderful season! In this way, when you recall our past in a few years This season, you will be proud that you didn't waste your time, put in all the hard work, and got what you deserve!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, in the dressing room of Manchester United, Ferguson is also mobilizing his players: "I know there is such a view outside-this is a battle for redemption. Because in the league, we lost to Lost Chelsea, lost the title after leading us for half the season. Indeed, it was our last honour."
The coach looked around at his players.
"Since 2008, this is the third time we have reached the Champions League final in three years. We are familiar with this stage, but we played for Barcelona last season. The loss of that Champions League final has an impact on us Big. We left a very talented player. No one expected us to achieve good results this season. But I am very happy to accept this challenge. In my opinion, Manchester United can reach three Champions League finals in three years. It is very powerful, and the only one who can defeat us is ourselves. Rather than saying that today's final is a battle against Inter Milan, it is better to say that we are fighting against the past us and the shadows that hang over our heads. Fighting against those who look down on us Combat. We have to play with style.
There was no voice in the locker room, but Ferguson had already seen the flames of unwillingness burning in the eyes of many players.
"There are many strong people in the world, they can defeat countless opponents, but I think the real strong is the one who can beat himself. Today, you have such a chance to be the real strong, thank God for this opportunity It’s in front of you, please don’t let it just slip away like this.”
Some players stood up excitedly and shouted loudly: "This time we must win!"
"Victory belongs to us! Let the damned fate go to hell!"
