Vol 2 Chapter 169: UEFA Cup final

"Gutman Curse?"
When Hu Meiers put the latest issue of "Photo" in front of Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng said with a weird expression: "What the hell?"
"Look at it and see."
It took five minutes for Tang Zheng to figure out what the "Gutman Curse" was.
As an atheist, Tang Zheng will naturally not be foolish to believe that Benfica has returned to all the defeats in the last five Champions League finals and a UEFA Cup because of the "Gutman Curse".
The so-called ‘Gutman ’s Curse’ should be that the Benfica team at that time was too conceited. After all, defeating the vigorous Real Madrid and Barcelona defending Champions League champions at that time, naturally would not care about the ‘curse’ that the coach said before leaving the team.
So in the third consecutive season, the Champions League final will naturally be a little neglected, and the final loss to AC Milan becomes reasonable.
At that time, Benfica led by Eusebio was more powerful than AC Milan led by Altafini, and during the game, many fans felt that this was the role of the 'Cultman Curse'-Eusebio broke In the deadlock, Altafini scored twice to reverse the main victory.
The following 1964-1965 season and 1967-1968 season UEFA Champions League finals have a certain chance. The 1964-1965 season is the 'Inter Milan era', and the final venue is held at Meazza Stadium.
The 1967-1968 UEFA Champions League final is somewhat similar to the 1964-1965 UEFA Champions League final. The final venue was played at the old Wembley Stadium, which is equivalent to half of Manchester United's home court. At the time, Manchester United had talents George Best and Bobby Charlton. The overall strength of Benfica where Biusibbio is located is stronger.
As for the detailed reports that follow, Tang Zheng has no desire to read.
By the end of the 1980s, the level of Portuguese football had dropped significantly, and it was reasonable to fail to win the Champions League. It had nothing to do with the ‘Gutman Curse’.
"It's boring." Tang Zheng put the "Photo" in his hand on the table and continued to deal with the food in front of him.
"Don't you think we are holding the winning ticket?" Humels was surprised by Tang Zheng's reaction.
Tang Zheng put his hands on the restaurant table and looked at Hu Meiers seriously: "I said Ma Er, you can't pay too much attention to the so-called curse. Serious competition is the king, and then your team will lose I won't let you go after the final. "
"Is it necessary to be so serious?"
Humels' expression was a little unnatural.
"The finals are already very rigorous. We lost Lucas and Kevin in the finals. Mario can only serve as a substitute. If you as the central defender put too much attention off the court, we can only lose. ,do you know?"
Listening to Tang Zheng's analysis, Hu Meiers nodded inexplicably.
Half a day before the game, Tang Zheng saw Hu Meiers nodded naturally and focused his attention on the food in front of him.
Of course, this food is to be quoted.
The food of professional players is always highly nutritious and does not pay attention to taste.

The 2010-2011 Europa League final venue is Dublin Stadium, the capital of Ireland. This stadium is quite interesting to say. The Irish media has called it the most ruthless ‘bad end project’ in history.
In 2007, when the stadium was built to three-quarters, it suddenly had no money and was more amateur than amateur.
In addition, there are some problems in the design. In order to ensure the lighting of the residential building across the road from the road, the height of the stadium's north stands is much shorter than that of the other three-sided stands.
However, this stadium is very good. It is the only European football five-star stadium in Ireland. The Irish national football team and rugby team can accommodate 50,000 fans.
More than two hours before the game time, a large number of fans gathered in the outer square of the stadium-Dortmund fans, Benfica fans and neutral fans.
Among the fans here, Dortmund fans are the most.
Dortmund's play under Klopp is good-looking, extremely aggressive and ornamental, and many neutral fans like to watch Dortmund's game.
At this time, a lot of media came to the periphery of the Dublin Stadium in advance to interview fans from all over the world.
Zhao Lina was originally tall and beautiful in nature. Even wearing a pair of sunglasses enough to cover the entire face was difficult to disguise, and He Mengdi, who walked side by side, did not wear sunglasses. The petite and lovely she attracted countless passing by Fans pay attention.
When they were waiting in line with the tickets, they met a middle-aged reporter who was interviewed with the logo microphone of the Sports Weekly.
The new wolf sports interview reporter tried to say in Chinese: "Chinese?"
"Well, yes." Zhao Lina had not spoken yet, but He Mengdi, who came with her, said first.
"Are you here to cheer for Tang Zheng?"
"Of course." He Mengdi pulled Zhao Lina back to Miaoman's posture, facing the staff carrying the camera in the Dortmund No. 10 jersey: "Both of us."
In fact, this question is redundant.
As long as the Chinese fans come to the Dublin Stadium, they are all in support of Tang Zheng and witnessed his first European championship trophy in his career.
Although He Mengdi is young and beautiful and has a graceful posture, the reporter interviewed by the "Sports Weekly" has seen the world, so he did not pay much attention, but turned to ask Zhao Lina, who is taller than the average Chinese man: I'm a little presumptuous. I want to ask, have we seen it before? "
"Uncle, your routine is outdated."
The middle-aged reporter was embarrassed, but Zhao Lina took off her sunglasses and smiled, "Uncle Xu, don't you remember me?"
Seeing Zhao Lina's true look, Xu Wei snapped her forehead suddenly: "I said how familiar you are, it turns out to be you."
This season's Zhao Lina became the No. 2 goalkeeper in the Frankfurt Women's Football Team, playing in the Cup and occasionally playing in the league. Xu Wei, who is in charge of the international football sector, interviewed this season.
Both the domestic media and the German media have reported the scandals of Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina, so Xu Wei gave a meaningful look: "Did you specially come to cheer Tang Zheng?"
"Huh." Zhao Lina instantly understood Xu Wei's expression, and nodded embarrassedly.
"Aoao--"
At this moment, there was a huge cheer outside the square near the main road.
It turned out that Dortmund took the bus to the stadium.
※※※
Listening to the cheers from outside the bus, Tang Zheng sitting by the window opened the curtains and looked out of the car through the glass.
Massive Dortmund fans wearing yellow and black shirts held banners, slogans and fan scarves, standing on the outside of the bus and shouting hysterically.
"Tannnnnnnnnnnnnnnng--"
Perhaps it was Tang Zheng who opened the curtains, and the Dortmund fans with sharp eyes shouted almost crazy.
"Championship champion!"
"We need a champion!"
For this scene, Tang Zheng has seen it countless times, but he feels touched every time, so he gave a thumbs up to Dortmund fans outside the glass window in response.
His movements caused fans to burst into greater cheers.
Listening to the sound of a mountain-like tsunami, Tang Zheng naturally clenched his fists, slightly raised his head, and looked at the very beautiful Dublin Stadium, cheering himself up: "Must take away the championship trophy!"
It took less than half a minute for Dortmund to take the bus, and Benfica also came in by the bus. Dortmund fans
Gaitan, who was sitting by the window, looked out of the stadium through the glass window. The crowd of Dortmund fans imprinted in his eyes. It was simply a yellow-black ocean.
At the same time, a lot of loud voices spread into the ears.
The most conspicuous thing is that countless Dortmund fans hold up Tang Zheng's huge posters, so Gaitan frowned.
"Damn! The champion must be ours!"
"Hey, Nicholas, it's only the final of the UEFA Cup, don't be nervous." The Argentine fellow sitting on the left, patted Gaitan's shoulder and covered his mouth.
"Ah?" Gaitan Lima realized that his elder brother Aimar might be nervous because of a slight tremor in his body, and his frowned brows stretched instantly, and said with a smile: "No, I am excited!"
"That's good." Aimar nodded, closed his eyes again, and rejuvenated.
The UEFA Cup final is not much attractive to Aimar. During his time in Valencia, he won the UEFA Cup predecessor UEFA Cup, and even won the La Liga championship and the European Super Cup. He also played in the Champions League final when joining Valencia.
It can be said that Aymar, who is in his early years, has been through a hundred battles, and his emotion control is perfect. I know that the most important thing before the game is to cultivate the spirit.
Gaitan ’s attention was once again out of the window. He looked at Tang Zheng ’s huge poster and clenched his fists again, whispering in a voice that only he heard:
The champion is mine!

※※※
Although Tang Zheng is only 21 and a half years old this year, he has already experienced three finals-the South American Liberation Cup final (home and away), the German Cup final.
This is the third final in his career.
In the past three finals, Tang Zheng won the championship through his own efforts.
So he believes that this is also the case in the Europa League final at the Dublin Stadium.
The bus is parked at the entrance of the dedicated passage of the Dublin Stadium, which is exclusively for the players of both sides to enter the stadium and is not open to the public.
The fans gathered outside the wall formed by security personnel not to enter the field, most of them are fans without tickets, in order to see their favorite players before the game, and cheer by the way.
Because after the players enter the field, they can only watch through the large LCD screen specially set up in the square outside the stadium. This is their last chance to cheer for the players.
In addition, there are a lot of media waiting here.
When Dortmund had just stopped on the bus, the flashing lights kept flashing.
The first to get off was Klopp. He smiled and waved at mass fans and media reporters, but Klopp didn't stop, but went straight to the dedicated channel.
The same is true of other coaches and players.
From time to time, reporters held out microphones outside the wall surrounded by security personnel to greet coaches and players for interviews.
However, most people shook their heads with serious expressions and chose to go straight into the field.
They have been looking forward to the UEFA Cup final.
In Dortmund, no player has the UEFA Cup final experience, as long as the experienced Kyle and a few players can smile and refuse to interview reporters.
Among the many Dortmund fans, in addition to shouting head coach Klopp, Tang Zheng was the most shouting.
Mr. Key, Dortmund, the treatment is extraordinary.
Sha Xin, who was behind Tang Zheng, felt a little unbalanced, and there was a little more determination in his eyebrows.
He always feels that his contribution to the team this season is not less than Tang Zheng, especially when Klopp pushed Tang Zheng into the front waist during the game.
In many games, he has to do both dirty work and fine work of threading needles.
After all, human energy is limited, and the number of goals and assists is naturally inferior to Tang Zheng.
But against this background of huge efforts, his agent tried to negotiate a contract renewal with the club, which was not demanding, second only to the annual salary of 2.5 million euros for Tang Zheng and Kyle.
But the club's top management refused, saying it would only be willing to pay 1.5 million euros at most.
Both the agent and Sha Xin were very dissatisfied with the club's renewal conditions.
It was at this time that Real Madrid took the initiative to contact Sahin's agent and promised him an annual salary of three million euros.
Thinking of Real Madrid's gold signboard, and having a good personal income, Sha Xin was a little moved.
However, Dortmund has always been kind to Shaxin. He is not a kind of ungrateful professional player. If under the same conditions, he would definitely prefer to stay in Westfa Lun, even if the annual salary is slightly lower.
It's just that the club's attitude is a little negligent, and the two sides are very divided.
Why can Tang Zheng get an annual salary of nearly 4 million euros?
And recently, the media broke the news that after the end of the season, the club is also preparing to renew the contract with Tang Zheng to improve the treatment. It is said that it will reach the top five million euros in the Bundesliga.
In the case of the team losing Barrios and Grosco Royce in succession, the fans are only Tang Zheng, as are the head coach and the club.
Sahin was fed up a bit. He decided to leave Dortmund this summer ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to join Real Madrid and challenge his new career path.
The players who came to the locker room did not immediately change their jerseys to warm up, because there are now nearly two hours before the game starts. The result of warming up too early is that the body that was warmed up will cool down quickly, affecting the warming up effect, and it will also pass. Consume physical energy early.
At this time, players can do what they want to do, such as chatting, playing with mobile phones, and even organizing hairstyles.
Tang Zheng, like Hummells, came to the locker to take out the gel and tidy up his hairstyle.
Young people, always care about personal appearance.
In addition, Tang Zheng and Hu Meiers are rare handsome guys on the football field, which makes them more handsome and confident before the game, which is beneficial to the game.
There are still about ninety minutes away from the game. Head coach Klopp and assistant coaches Jericho Bovac and Peter Kravitz are still discussing the next game tactics.
Physical coach Oliver Bartlett clapped his palms hard and shouted in his loud voice: "Guys, it's time to warm up!"
