Real Madrid's final opponent was also announced the next day, Serie A hegemon Juventus.
At the moment the results came out, mainstream public opinion immediately believed that Real Madrid was stable. Marca even began to emphasize that Real Madrid not only had not lost in the Champions League finals since the new century, but the last losing record in the Champions League final was in 1981. Moreover, Real Madrid's lineup is unparalleled. Yi Zhe and Cristiano Ronaldo are both capable of deciding the game. Juventus really has no superstars who can compete.
There are many disturbances from the outside world, but this does not affect Yi Zhe at all. There is still more than half a month left before the competition, and Yi Zhe rarely has some free time in his life during this period. Zidane has consciously arranged for him and Ronaldo to take turns in the rest of the league to adjust their status for the final Champions League final. In fact, Yi Zhe is the two people who hang out the most after training every day.
One is Thies. The media's speculation about Atletico Madrid poaching Yizhe continues. He has faithfully performed his duties as an agent and made a special trip to exchange opinions with Yizhe.
Yi Zhe didn't say anything, but while he was still here, he invited a few teammates to his home to hold a small party, euphemistically called it to heighten the atmosphere for the Champions League final.
He watched himself and his teammates having a great time in front of Thies. When the game ended, all kinds of plates, dishes and food bags were flying around the room. Wine bottles were piled up on two levels on the coffee table. When Tis came down, he was already a complete drunk. Even Yi Zhe's face was flushed. He had never drunk so much in his life, so he was considered a broken man.
Yi Zhe had to prove to his agent that he knew why the other party came over in such a hurry. The liquidated damages threshold of 500 million euros was enough to scare him out of his wits.
"Tiss, are you an idiot? Hahaha! I asked you to show it to others, but you actually believed it yourself? Ha... hiccup! Wake up, you're too deep into the drama!"
Tis turned into a stuttering drunk and grabbed Yi Zhe: "I now...understand your choice, Yi. Your decisiveness is correct."
The second person is Ronaldo. Although several teammates and neighbors live here, Yi Zhe almost always has dinner at Ronaldo's villa every day. Of course, as a potential leader of Real Madrid, how can he have the nerve to waste time on his teammates? Yi Zhe would show off his Chinese food every now and then, and every time at this time, Georgina would always turn into a fan girl. She might not be able to ask for someone else, but Yi Zhe always fixes the topic on Chinese food immediately. He doesn't want her to become a fan. His fan girl is very troublesome. Although he has a lot of information, Yi Zhe can swear that he is definitely a serious person. The real purpose of coming here every day is just to use the small football field in Ronaldo's villa and get a high-quality sparring partner.
"Yi, do you really not want me to leave? As long as I leave, you will naturally become the leader of the Bernabeu! I don't believe you can resist such a temptation. You are an ambitious person, although you hide it well."
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly asked after the two of them finished their individual training. Yi Zhe turned his head and stared at him: "Don't you? Cristiano, I want to be the leader of the Bernabeu, but I will definitely compete with you. I am Chinese, Atheists never believe in providence.”
However, Ronaldo didn't believe it at all and said with a smile: "If one day I leave Madrid, this villa will be yours. I know you have always liked this football stadium, eh? Tell me you don't want it? Haha!"
Yi Zhe chuckled: "Am I not standing here now? I don't believe that one day you will not let me in!"
Yi Zhe believes that he and Ronaldo will never reach this point.
In the last three rounds of the league, Real Madrid defeated Granada 4:0, Sevilla 4:1, and Malaga 2:0, successfully ending the league with a wave of three consecutive victories.
After the last round of the league, Zidane gave the team three days off. After taking the leave, they began preparations for the Champions League final. The team went to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, as soon as possible.
Real Madrid is destined to be the focus of all fans and cameras here, because "The Great Sage" Bale is the new generation symbol of Welsh football, followed by Ronaldo. After all, his years at Manchester United are difficult to erase, and he has a large number of loyal fans of the Premier League and the Red Devils. .
It seems that Yi Zhe's appeal here is indeed weaker, but when the Chinese reporters captured this scene and rushed over, the cameras surrounding Yi Zhe instantly made him feel the pressure again.
"Yi Zhe, look at Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, they seem to have stronger appeal! We arrived in time, right? As long as it's your game, we will definitely come to help!"
Yi Zhe smiled: "We are not competing for the first place in everything. Bell is not allowed to play the leading role here? Ronaldo is not allowed to play, let alone Cristiano Ronaldo. Which one of us should be the focus? Haha!"
These words definitely made reporters unable to believe that the relationship has become so good? The Champions League final doesn’t matter?
"Yi Zhe, who do you think is more likely to dominate the finals?"
Yi Zhe smiled: "Real Madrid."
Yi Zhe knew what the reporters wanted to know, and even said that Real Madrid reporters also asked him this question at the pre-match press conference.
"It doesn't matter who dominates the game because football is a team sport and history will only remember the winner."
On the surface, he can only deal with reporters in this way, but privately he and Ronaldo had discussions.
"Cristiano, this game depends on your ability. Be careful, after this game, the Bernabeu will really forget you."
Cristiano Ronaldo just stared at Yi Zhe: "When I stood in the Champions League final for the first time, Yi, tell me where you were? If my performance cannot satisfy myself, it only proves that I should leave."
Ronaldo's expression was serious, and his usual joking and easy-going mentality had completely disappeared. What Yi Zhe didn't know was that his agent Mendes had put a lot of pressure on him. If he fails to perform convincingly in the Champions League final, he will find another home for him in the summer window.
"Cristiano, you can't be anyone's vassal at Real Madrid unless you can prove yourself, because your name itself represents a symbol of this era."
Yi Zhe never realized how lucky he was to be able to work with Thies, who had no background or qualifications. In fact, a one-stop agent like Mendes is the normal standard for superstar agents.
…
June 4th, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
A large number of fans from Real Madrid and Juventus have already prepared in the stadium. The Champions League theme song is accompanied by two distinct oceans of white waves and black and white striped shirts in the stands. Only some Chinese elements of red can be seen sporadically in Real Madrid's white ocean.
"vamos madrid——"
"forza juven——"
The atmosphere is very lively, Real Madrid fans can see that the peak is just around the corner, and Juventus fans also have a reason to reach the top.
When the camera turns to Buffon walking into the stadium at the front, this is all the answer, the source of faith for Juventus fans.
"Buffon! This young player who has witnessed the glory of Juventus in the era of Lippi and Del Piero has once again stood in the Champions League final! The veteran is not old, time is forever, and the young player is eternal! I don't know how many years Buffon has to fight against time. Maybe this It was his last dance in the Champions League final, but his opponent tonight was a bit too strong, representing the king of this era and the storm of the future era!"
The aerial camera takes a bird's-eye view of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, and then switches to the flying cat camera at the top of the stadium and slowly switches to the faces of Yi Zhe and Ronaldo. The two people looked very relaxed and just gave a light high-five.
"Are you ready, Cristiano?"
Ronaldo nodded slightly.
"Do it!"
As the opening whistle sounded, Real Madrid took the lead. Benzema passed the ball to Yizhe, and Yizhe passed it back to Ramos in the backcourt.
Real Madrid will not be in a hurry to attack today. Yi Zhe just saw that Juventus has set up a defensive formation, and he immediately decided to stabilize it first. Regarding the defensive ability of the Serie A team, no one with a little common sense will think it is impossible, let alone What's more, it's Juventus this season.
Allegri was well prepared today and started a five-back system, but it was not a regular position.
Goalkeeper: Buffon
Defenders: Daniel Alves, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro
Midfielder: Khedira, Pjanic
Midfielder: Dybala
Forwards: Yin Guayin, Mandzukic
It can be seen that Allegri is just afraid of Real Madrid's too strong offensive firepower, and he still has a lot of interest in the game. He even left a configuration like Dybala, Yin Guain, and Mandzukic in the frontcourt, simply waiting for Real Madrid to grab it. Start.
But Real Madrid really wasn't in a hurry at the beginning, because Yi Zhe returned to the backcourt to control the ball in series, and his ball was a signal to his teammates.
In the first two minutes, Real Madrid had not yet advanced further into the midfield. This scene shocked the commentators of various European TV stations.
"Does Real Madrid want to show Barcelona's football philosophy in the Champions League?"
"What does Real Madrid want to do? Is Juventus so powerful that it's scary?"
"Did Zidane lose his soul to the Barcelona people, or did Florentino himself turn Real Madrid into a Barcelona team?"
"Perhaps these two minutes are a sign that we will see a real change in the Bernabeu's totem in the near future, but Barcelona is the ultimate winner!"
The commentators on almost all major European TV stations went crazy. They could not imagine what a catastrophic crime it would be for the Champions League final if Real Madrid wasted most of the time with such extremely boring passing and control!
But Yi Zhe's eyes and brain were always fixed on Juventus' forward line that was gradually pressing forward. He was brought down by Mandzukic in his own backcourt. He got up quickly and quickly passed the set ball from the backcourt directly to Modric in the center circle. Push forward quickly at the same time.
"Luka, do it!"
The two minutes just now were just a test. Yi Zhe wanted to see how fierce Juventus' pressing could be today and test how determined the opponent was.

Now he knew it in his mind. There were only two forwards who were frantically counterattacking, but one of the defensive midfielders on the opposite side obviously also had the heart of a forward. This was just right. With the space exposed in the midfield, Yi Zhe believed that Modric could seize the opportunity.
Real Madrid's counterattack was launched instantly, and Modric was completely caught off guard when he accelerated and passed Khedira, not even giving the commentators time to brew their emotions.
Khedira chased back all the way, but it was obvious that the speed of his feet was no longer a match for Modric. It was completely different from the Real Madrid period.
Modric made a through ball, and Bale cut in at high speed and directly overtook Alex Sandro, cutting in along the baseline and sending it to the goal. Benzema stepped in in front of the goal and quickly grabbed the point and pushed the shot. Buffon subconsciously fell to the ground in front of the goal and saved.
"Benzema - hey! Buffon!
!
"
There was a chaotic battle in front of the goal. Bonucci quickly fell to the ground in front of the goal and scooped the ball out of the penalty area.
The first wave of attacks has proved that Juventus' defense is not an iron wall. Perhaps the three central defenders are indeed strong enough, even at a phenomenal level after peak Milan, but as long as there are loopholes, Real Madrid will have a chance.
Yi Zhe took the ball in the midfield and easily changed direction and passed Pjanic in one step. The Bosnian midfielder was no match for him on the defensive end. After all, Pjanic showed off his offensive talent at the beginning of his debut. Yi Zhe and Modric quickly played a one-two and directly passed Khedira, pushing forward to Ronaldo. The president made a fake shot from the corner of the penalty area to attract the attention of Barzagli and Alves. However, Guang saw Yi Zhe quickly dipping behind the defense line. A pass went directly through the gap between the two and directly to Yi Zhe's feet.
Yi Zhe saw Buffon attacking from a small angle to block the ball. Almost in an instant, he pulled the ball, twisted his body, and suddenly dribbled the ball laterally to the center of the penalty area. Buffon was originally preparing to attack with all his strength to pick off the ball. As a goalkeeper, he was absolutely right in his choice. However, Yi Zhe changed direction too quickly and the ball had already deflected. What Buffon reached out to pounce on was not the ball, but Yi Zhe's leg.
When the German referee Bruchy's whistle sounded, it pointed directly to the twelve yards.
Penalty kick!
There were only cheers from Real Madrid fans in the stadium.
But the question is, who will take the penalty kick?
Yi Zhe held the ball and prepared to walk to the penalty spot, but he saw that Ronaldo did not move away like the others, but kept pace with him.
"Cristiano, you also want to take the penalty?" Yi Zhe raised an eyebrow.
Cristiano Ronaldo smiled: "The coach did not designate you to be our first penalty taker."
This is a fact. Before Yizhe's arrival, Real Madrid's first choice for set kicks and penalty kicks was Ronaldo. Zidane did not deprive Ronaldo of his qualifications just because Yizhe joined the team, just because of Yizhe's positioning. The ball's scoring ability is comparable to that of penalty kicks. After taking several penalty kicks, everyone defaulted to Yi Zhe as the first penalty kicker.
But if we really talk about it, Ronaldo is not completely unreasonable.
Yi Zhe looked at him for two seconds, ran to the nearest stand and shouted at the fans twice. When he returned to the stadium, he had an extra coin in his hand.
"Come on, Cristiano, although I don't believe in God's will, but let God decide for once? I will take the heads, and you will take the tails. Do you have any objections?"
Yi Zhe casually threw the coin into the sky, and it fell on the turf.
It's right side up.
Yi Zhe shrugged: "Well, this is God's will, Cristiano."
Ronaldo had a smile on his face, but didn't say anything.
The close-up shot of the stadium captured the face-up coin on the turf. Looking at Yi Zhe's operation just now and the fact that he was now walking to the penalty spot with a smile on his face, He Wei couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that Yi Zhe is indeed the chosen one! Hahaha, now he will face Buffon! Two people who are also involved, a head-on confrontation!"
