Cardiff is the capital of Wales.
The area is equivalent to one-tenth that of London.
A poet once said: "You can never predict which way the wind blows in Cardiff."
England and Scotland gave birth to "Braveheart", why can't Wales give birth to a classic drama?
Thousands of fans flocked to the city as the Champions League final approached.
"Why are Bale and Ramsey's pictures everywhere?"
"Two of them are Welsh, and the clubs of two Welshmen have reached the Champions League final!"
There are still three days until the Champions League final.
Players and coaching staff from the two clubs came to Cardiff in advance.
Real Madrid boss Florentino also arrived in Wales early.
The war is coming.
Radio Sel exposed a recording of his: "If Neymar plays for Galacticos, it will be very easy for him to win the Ballon d'Or. Real Madrid always allows players to get everything they want. Real Madrid misses Neymar." Mal, everyone knows this.”
This sentence has no impact on the morale of the Real Madrid team, and the players just listen to it for fun.
Zidane believes that Bale can be sold to make room for the signing of Neymar.
Florentino did not agree: sell Bale? Isn't it just a slap in the face?
The two teams have staggered their use of the Millennium Stadium for training.
Players from both sides cannot meet and will not take the initiative to meet.
After Li Kang finished training every day, he did not watch the game video, but watched the documentaries of various clubs.
He still couldn't understand Zidane's tactical arrangements.
In the documentary "Heart of Eleven Crowns", the tactical adjustments in Real Madrid's locker room were broadcast live. Maybe it shouldn't be called adjustments.
Zidane was just shouting: "Be calm and don't concede the ball easily. Focus on defense and Casemiro can hit more long-range shots! Marcelo and Carvajal must actively move forward and participate in the attack."
Immediately afterwards, Nacho, Modric, Varane, and Benzema were communicating about tactical details.
This style of painting is completely different from other clubs!
What’s interesting is that even Real Madrid officials are complaining: metaphysics.
Simeone once said after a La Liga derby: "I thought Zidane would discover Atletico Madrid's weaknesses in the second half and make adjustments, so I made another change. But he did nothing! Atletico Madrid just This is how we lose.”
Maguire handed over a dry towel and said: "The closer the game gets, the more nervous I get."
Welbeck asked in confusion: "What is there to be nervous about? When I was taking a nap, I dreamed that I scored Real Madrid's goal!"
Maguire patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "The smarter the person, the more likely he is to be anxious."
far away.
Wenger looked calm.
He has failed on the stage of the Champions League final, and it was the kind of failure that was reversed by his opponent.
Final day.
The whole city of Cardiff is brightly lit.
Posters of Bale and Ramsey can be seen everywhere.
Real Madrid fans and Arsenal fans were surprisingly calm. They gathered on both sides of the street, waiting for the club bus to enter.
The main entrance of Millennium Stadium.
The top executives of the two clubs entered the venue surrounded by reporters.
The Kroenkes were about to say something.
The spears and cannons in front of him suddenly moved away.
There were waves of exclamations from the crowd behind: "Beckenbauer!"
The reporters turned around in an orderly manner and gathered around excitedly.
Although Beckenbauer left the FIFA Executive Committee early, he is still a celebrity that UEFA and FIFA must invite on major occasions.
When it comes to influence in football politics, few legends can compare to him. After all, he was once able to influence the host country of the World Cup "fairly and above board", and the whole world could not find any fault with it.
As for the referee who helped the German team replace Koreans during the World Cup in Japan and South Korea? Those are small things in comparison.
"Both clubs have the best players in the world and I was looking forward to their peak match a month ago."
"predict?"
"Real Madrid is used to playing strong in the second half this season. Arsenal may be able to suppress their opponents in the first half, just like Atletico Madrid."
"Galactic Battleship will replace Bell at about sixty to seventy minutes to decide the outcome of the game!"
Beckenbauer's tone was a bit perfunctory.
The reporters were a little disappointed with the answer: Real Madrid played like this for almost the entire 2016/17 season. Can't Pei Huang directly express which club he is optimistic about winning the championship?
Gradually, the topic shifted to Mr. 200 Million in the arsenal.
The German legend's eyes lit up and he suddenly became energetic.
"He is a treasure from the Bundesliga to the world!"
"Every time I see him raising his hand to direct during a game, I feel inexplicably moved."
Applause fell here and there.
The reporters were disappointed. This was similar to what Pei Huang said about Messi ten years ago: "Every time I see Messi get the ball in a game, I feel inexplicably moved."
Millennium Stadium.
The stands, which accommodated more than 70,000 people, were divided into two halves.
Half of the pure white is sandwiched with purple, and the other half is red and white. Small flags of different colors are gently swayed.
The green field is covered by a dark blue carpet, and hundreds of staff are squatting around it.
The exciting Champions League theme song sounded.
Three flags gradually appeared: the Champions League LOGO, the Arsenal flag, and the Real Madrid flag.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."
"Welcome to the 2016/17 Champions League final."
"Arsenal and Real Madrid will stage a peak showdown in Cardiff, the capital of Wales!"
"We will witness the final cadenza of the season at the Millennium Stadium!"
"On the road to the final, Arsenal and Real Madrid both showed their different temperaments!"
"Liverpool legend Ian Rush placed the big ear cup on the stand at the exit of the tunnel!"
"No matter which side wins this Champions League trophy, it will make history!"
"The Gunners on top of Europe?"
"Real Madrid becomes the first defending champion since the Champions League was restructured?"
"We'll see."
Duan Xuan and He Wei worked hard to adjust their emotions: one of them is a Ronaldo fan and the other is a Real Madrid fan.
During the explanation process, you must maintain a neutral attitude.
The temperature in Cardiff is a bit cold at night.
Everyone in the tunnel put on a jacket.
Ramos and Carvajal warmly embraced their national team teammates in the opponent's queue.
Isco quietly pulled down the zipper, revealing the purple jersey underneath.
"Li, the position of the Champions League slogan on Real Madrid's jersey is better than that on Arsenal's jersey."
Li Kang lowered his head and took a closer look before nodding seriously.
The warmth of the national team only lasted for more than ten seconds.
The passage quickly returned to a tense atmosphere.
Maguire took a deep breath, adjusted his hair, and whispered: "Lee, that Pepe is staring at you with evil intentions!"
Xhaka heard this and immediately looked at the Real Madrid defender defiantly.
The powder keg is about to be ignited at any time.
Only Ronaldo stood at the front of the queue, looking quietly at the green field of the final, with perseverance in his eyes.
I came back too late from get off work and had a cold and fever, so I couldn’t write anymore.
