The arrival of Su Qing and her parents did not change Gao Shen's schedule.

At noon that day, he specially took them back to their home in the Bay Area.

He had asked the housekeeper to clean up the house long ago, and now they check in directly.

My parents had long heard that Gao Shen lived in the Grand House in Naples, but they didn't believe it before, but now they have seen it with their own eyes, especially the invincible sea view and the distant view of Mount Vesuvius on the opposite side, which made them extremely satisfied.

The only regret is that after this summer, Gao Shen will leave here.

After settling down his family, Gao Shen returned to Fort Volturno.

Su Qing and others stayed at home to make up for the time difference, and they will start their trip to Naples tomorrow.

Gao Shen has already arranged for them, and the club's driver will take them around. When the afternoon of the game day, they will be arranged by the club to take the bus together with the families and friends of all the players and employees. Go to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Although in the capital, the two were very gentle and affectionate when they were alone, and both parents basically acquiesced, but Su Qing chose to live in a room by herself, but she just played a trick and chose the room next to Gao Shen on the same floor. .

They are all people who have come here, how could the parents of both parties not know about it?

But they all pretended not to know, but they all pretended not to know, leaving enough free space for the young couple who reunited after a long absence. Remember the URL m.xbequery. com

That night, Gao Shen rarely worked overtime at the training base, and went home early. After having dinner with his parents and others, they excused themselves too tired and went back to their rooms to rest and sleep.

Gao Shen and Su Qing were left behind, their eyes rolled around, and they went back to their rooms tacitly.

Not long after, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Gao Shen sneaked into Su Qing's room.

After a ridiculous night, I went to work refreshed the next morning.

…

For the next three days, Gao Shen was basically two points and one line between Fort Volturno and his family.

The team's decisive battle is imminent, and there will be no trivial matters to disturb Gao Shen at this time. He is also happy to be clean and concentrates on training his players in Fort Volturno.

Su Qing and her parents, accompanied by the club's driver, traveled around Naples. The first stop went to the St Paul's Stadium to visit the high-level statues. They also met with Naples chairman De Laurentiis and general manager Marino. , was invited to have lunch with them.

Their itineraries do not need to be troubled, and they are all fully arranged.

Naples is very close to Rome, and the club is the only Serie A team in the city, which can be called the symbol of the city. Therefore, the decisive battle is imminent, and the whole city is filled with a strong atmosphere of the Champions League final.

Especially when they entered the market area, elements related to the Champions League final can be seen everywhere.

Not only locals in Naples, but also many tourists from the surrounding areas, and even foreign tourists, appeared on the streets of Naples, and they basically came for the Champions League final.

The outside media also paid great attention to the game.

In the history of the UEFA Champions League, in the finals, the number of times that both sides were the current champions of the league was only six times.

It also includes the one in 1993, when Marseille was cancelled after winning the Ligue 1 title.

Therefore, the number of times that both sides are league champions is very rare.

This is mainly because of the knockout system of the Champions League.

Before the reform of the Champions League, only league champions and defending champions were eligible to participate in the Champions League. At that time, the transfer market in European football was underdeveloped. The teams basically relied on their own youth training, and the substitute lineup was not strong, which caused them to compete in the double When fighting on one line, or even fighting on three fronts, the pressure of the game is quite high.

So, before the restructuring, only four Champions League finals were played by the league champions.

After the restructuring, with the birth of the Boseman Act, transfers have become more and more common, players have flowed frequently, and giant teams have begun to search for stars, but the knockout system determines that the Champions League is full of unpredictability, and accidental factors are very rare. big.

As a result, many teams can only focus on one of the fronts. For example, AC Milan in recent years has performed very well in the Champions League, but in the domestic league, it is very mediocre.

After the restructuring, the Champions League final has only been attended by the league champions. So far, only once is the classic match between Manchester United and Bayern in 1999. The Red Devils Manchester United were crowned the Triple Crown.

In fact, Bayern also reached the German Cup final that season, but since the game was scheduled to be held on June 12, and the Champions League final was on May 26, Bayern had not participated in the Champions League final. German Cup final.

Of course, later, after losing the Champions League final, Bayern also lost the German Cup final in a penalty shootout to Werder Bremen, failing to win the domestic league and cup double.

And like this season, Naples and Barcelona have both won domestic league and cup championships, and they are both rushing to win the treble, and they are the leagues where their respective clubs are located. The first treble in history is undoubtedly the first treble winner in history. It makes this Champions League final more attractive and more eye-catching.

Even UEFA said in the final promotional video that this is the first time in the history of the Champions League!

L’Equipe de France believes that this Champions League final is not just a contest between the two teams, the showdown between the coaches of the two teams will be even more eye-catching, and the duel between Gao Shen and Pep Guardiola is even more exciting.

The French media reported extensively on the relationship between Gao Shen and Guardiola, especially the time when Guardiola studied with Gao Shen in Italy, and the fact that Gao Shen recommended Guardiola to the Barcelona executives. The newspaper was published again.

This is also a topic that has been hotly debated by the media around the world in the past period of time.

At the beginning of the season, when Gao Shen rejected Barcelona and recommended Guardiola, everyone thought that Gao Shen wanted to fulfill Guardiola, but now it seems that they are all knowledgeable and skillful, and they have long known that Guardiola is not an ordinary person.

Otherwise, how to explain that now the two of them will join the Champions League final with the domestic double champion?

L’Equipe believes that whether it is from the origin, from the relationship, or from the technical and tactical level, both of them are the best among the new generation head coaches in European football. With a La Liga champion in hand, he is a veritable top European coach.

Such a confrontation is undoubtedly a highlight of the Champions League final.

…

The former Real Madrid coach and now the Spanish national team coach Bosque wrote a column in the Marca newspaper, predicting the Champions League final in advance, and he said of course that he hopes that Barcelona can win.

"But it's not easy at all."

Bosque said that as the head coach of the Spanish national team, he is very familiar with Barcelona. He knows that the stars in the Barcelona team are all the top stars in European football, but this time Barcelona's opponent is not an ordinary team.

"As early as when Gao Shen was still coaching Real Madrid, I was very familiar with him. I know his character and his coaching style. I believe Guardiola is the same, but I still want to say, don't let him Napoli scored the first goal and it would have been a disaster!"

Bosque said it couldn't be a tedious matchup because neither team would be conservative.

"In my opinion, Gao Shen is already a master coach in on-the-spot command. He can always adjust the team in time, whether it is in terms of offense, defense, rhythm, or team morale, he can handle it. Excellent."

"This is not a good thing for Guardiola, because from many games this season, I can see that Guardiola obviously lacks some experience and coaching skills."

"In terms of age, Gao Shen is only 28 years old, but he already has the experience of coaching Real Madrid to win the double crown. At the same time, he has the experience of leading Naples to create a miracle of winning the championship in two consecutive seasons. This season is even more towards the history of Italy. The first treble is on the way and it's a testament to the quality of his coaching."

Bosque gave his own advice and hoped that Guardiola would be mentally prepared to fight tough and hard battles.

…

On the day Barcelona set off for Rome, Guardiola held a press conference in Barcelona's Gamper Sports City to announce the squad for the expedition to Rome.

The entire Barcelona team, regardless of whether they are in the squad or not, will go to Rome.

For the upcoming final, Guardiola said that he and his players are mentally prepared. He will not change the way he plays because of the final because of the opponent.

"I want to be able to show the world how good we are, that's our goal!"

For Gao Shen, Guardiola said that this is one of the people he respects the most, but this game is the opponent.

When Gao Shen faced Ferguson, due to psychological pressure in the first round, his tactics were conservative, and he was criticized by media reporters and fans. He also admitted his problems after the game.

Will Guardiola also have such a psychological shadow when facing Gao Shen?

Guardiola said with a smile that he was under pressure when facing Gao Shen.

"I have learned a lot from Gao Shen. He knows me well, just as I know him well. Facing such an opponent, there will inevitably be some pressure, but pressure does not mean fear."

Guardiola said that there are many players in the Barcelona team who are participating in the Champions League final as a main player for the first time, but he believes that the players are ready.

"In terms of experience in the Champions League final, our opponents will be even more lacking than us, they are younger."

If it is said that Guardiola is still polite, then the Barcelona players will basically show no mercy.

Puyol participated in the Champions League final in 2006 and lost to Real Madrid led by Gao Shen. For this reason, he has been brooding. This time, the Barcelona captain released a bold statement that he would lead the team to take revenge.

"I'm really excited, I can't wait!"

Messi even announced that he vowed to help Barcelona win the triple crown and achieve unforgettable achievements.

"I made a bet with my teammates that if I lose this final, I will stop cutting my hair and build my ambitions until we win a Champions League!"

"But I know it's basically impossible!"

Messi looked confident and fighting spirit.
