Chapter 283: The final is coming


  The time has come to the end of May, less than a month before the start of the World Cup in Brazil, at this time the Champions League final will officially begin.
   On the afternoon of May 22, the Real Madrid team set off for Germany and came two days in advance to prepare for the Champions League final.
  Schalke was relatively close, so it was not until the early morning of May 23 that the team departed from Gelsenkirchen and the team went to Berlin, the capital of Germany.
   Also on this day, fans from all over Germany also began to march toward Berlin, ready to watch the battle.
  The Berlin Olympic Stadium has a capacity of 70,000 people. According to the past practice of UEFA, fans of both teams in the final will get half of the tickets, and the remaining half will be given to neutral fans.
   So Schalke and Real Madrid fans can get about 17,000 tickets.
   The remaining tickets are given to neutral fans, but since the final is held in Germany, many tickets will still fall into the hands of Schalke fans.
   And for many neutral German fans who took the opportunity to watch the finals, most of them are more willing to support their own teams, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this is Schalke’s half of the home stadium.
   From Berlin Airport, the Schalke team immediately received a large number of fans.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
   "Schalke~~~Schalke!!!"
   A large number of fans gathered on both sides to shout slogans in unison. The majestic voice resounded throughout the airport, and the Schalke team walked through the passageway that was let out in the middle, which felt very special.
   At this time, Matip whispered to Jackie Lee, "Boss, I now feel that we are like warriors on the battlefield, and my blood is boiling."
   "That's right, so we must win this war, either return triumphantly or die on the battlefield..."
   "Hey, boss, it's not that serious, right?"
   "Football has nothing to do with life and death, but football is higher than life and death, have you never heard this sentence?"
   "That's right, but..."
   Outside the airport, when the Schalke team boarded the bus to the reserved hotel, they could see Schalke’s team flags hanging along the road.
   At the intersection into the city, a giant Schalke blue jersey hung directly above the road. The jersey number is 04 and the name is Schalke.
   Everything is showing, the Champions League final is coming.

  Berlin is a familiar place for Schalke. The last ten years have come every year and have played games at the Berlin Olympic Stadium every year.
It’s also a coincidence. In recent years, Hertha Berlin has fallen in the 10/11 season and the 12/13 season to participate in the Bundesliga, but it happens that Schalke has reached the German Cup finals in these two seasons, so Just make up for perfection.
   For Lee Chenglong, he has also come here to compete in the two seasons after joining Schalke.
   In the German Cup final last season, Schalke defeated Bayern on a penalty kick to win the championship, and Jackie Lee completed a hat trick.
   In the 11th round of the Bundesliga this season, Schalke defeated Hertha Berlin 3:0 away, and Lee Chenglong sent an assist.
   Therefore, Li Chenglong is also familiar with this place.
   Schalke routinely prepares for the UEFA Champions League final. At the pre-match press conference, Jackie Lee attended with Stevens and Hewedes.
   "Bruce, Florentino has repeatedly expressed his appreciation for you, will you switch to Real Madrid after the World Cup?" At the beginning of the press conference, the Spanish reporter wanted to come and get involved.
   Since the decision of the two sides in the Champions League final, Florentino has indeed expressed his appreciation for Lee Chenglong several times before the media, but Lee Chenglong has never responded.
   At this time, Real Madrid has no good intentions to publicize this kind of news.
   Of course, it can also be seen that Real Madrid attaches great importance to their tenth Champions League. Even if everyone generally thinks that Schalke is difficult to resist the Galacticos, they still use various means to interfere with their opponents.
   "Every summer, seventy or eighty people around the world are rumored to join Real Madrid, but in the end none of them go, so this kind of news is very boring, I don't want to hear this kind of problem anymore."
   Seeing that Li Chenglong was not on the road, the Spanish reporter seemed to want to continue doing things, but first a German reporter stood up and interrupted him.
   "Bruce, so far in your career, you have scored goals in every single tiebreaker final, and you can win the championship every time. Are you confident to continue this record?"
   This question is very good, it is completely to cheer Schalke.
   "Of course I am confident that not only will I continue this record tomorrow night, but I will continue to continue in future games."
   Jackie Lee has only started four seasons in his career, and he has only participated in five single-game finals, but he successfully led the team to win, and all scored in the finals.
   In the 2010/11 season, Li Chenglong led Dundee to win the Scottish FA Cup. He scored two goals in the final.
   In the 2011/12 season, Li Chenglong led Dundee to win the Scottish League Cup. He scored the only goal in the final in the final.
   In the 2012/13 season, Li Chenglong led Schalke to win the German Cup. He performed a hat-trick in the final.
   In the 2013/14 season, that is, this season, Li Chenglong has led Schalke to win the German Super Cup, and he scored twice in the final.
  In addition, in the summer of 2013, Li Chenglong led the England National Youth Team to win the World Youth Championship. He scored the only goal in the final in the final.
In the previous five finals, he maintained a full victory and scored every game. This small record of Lee Chenglong has indeed been repeatedly hyped by the German media. They hope to use these data to cheer Schalke and hope that Schalke can The championship trophy remains in Germany.
   And this year's Champions League final should be the biggest challenge for Lee Chenglong to keep the record.

   At noon on May 24, a few hours before the start of the Champions League final, the whole of Berlin is already boiling ahead.
   The streets are full of Schalke fans wearing blue jerseys, and Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys. There will be some quarrels between the two sides from time to time.
   The flags and emblems of Schalke and Real Madrid can also be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. On some large billboards, there are also giant heads of Jackie Lee and Ronaldo, with text on the side
   Is it the revival of the giants, or the crowning of the new king?
   See the real chapter in the Berlin war! !
   At 5:45 in the afternoon, there are still two hours before the start of the game. At this time, the two teams in the finals also announced their starting lists.
   This is the time when UEFA stipulates that the starting list will be announced at the latest.
Even if the change in the lineup should not be big, both sides are very tacitly delaying the announcement of the starting lineup at the last moment~EbookFREE.me~ The formation of Schalke 04 is basically fixed, which everyone can guess. , 442 formation.
   Goalkeeper: Navas;
   Defenders: Kolasinac, Matip, Hévedes, Uchida Atsushi;
   Midfielder: Kanter, Neustedt, Kevin Boateng, Draxler;
   Forwards: Huntelaar, Jackie Lee.
   Schalke’s formation really can’t make any changes. The only thing that can change is to start Gretzka, but in such an important game, Stevens basically dare not start such a 19-year-old player.
   And even if Stevens bet, Gretzka doesn't necessarily have that kind of big heart and can perform well on a stage like the Champions League final.
   Real Madrid has the 433 formation, which is the traditional formation they have been using for a long time.
  Goalkeeper: Casillas;
   Defenders: Coentron, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal;
   Midfielder: Khedira, Modric, Di Maria;
   Forwards: Bell, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Real Madrid’s formation is also a more stable choice. Coentron, who made the defense better at the left back, started instead of Marcelo. The midfielder chose the defensive Khedira when Xavi Alonso was suspended. Not the offensive Isco, this is what Schalke's coaching staff expected. Starting
   However, Ancelotti chose the teenager Varane instead of the veteran Pepe in the central defender position, which is the only unexpected place.
