937 The Fake Li Gui Meets the Real Li Kui
The city of the Champions League final has always been able to reap rich rewards from this super final. Munich hosts the Champions League final, which is expected to attract more than 250,000 tourists to Munich before and after the competition, and more than 100,000 of them will spend the final night here, which will bring huge economic benefits to the city.
Even Prime Minister Angel Angel, who participated in the G8 summit in the United States, was interviewed and urged the Munich city government to hold this Champions League final, especially in terms of security, and to serve the fans well, striving to build this Champions League final into a major opportunity to enhance the Munich city brand.
Yang Cheng and Real Madrid arrived in Munich at noon Friday. At that time, thousands of fans came to the airport to pick them up. After that, the team headed straight to the hotel. You can see along the way that red and white have become the main colors of the city. This is also the color of Bayern Munich and has nothing to do with Real Madrid.
Sponsors of both sides have also taken action to promote and package the game from all angles, especially the common sponsors of both sides, Adidas and Audi, which have vigorously promoted this football event.
In addition to being a sponsor of Bayern Munich, Adidas is also a shareholder of Bayern. They have owned 10% of Bayern since 2001. In addition, the company comes from Germany, so it is inevitable that Bayern Munich, which is more likely to be home-based in some publicity, but he is not biased towards Real Madrid at all.
As early as the first leg of the semi-finals of Real Madrid, after Camp Nou defeated Barcelona, Adidas directly negotiated with Real Madrid, Heidi Krum and others, and finally reached an agreement. Before the start of the Champions League final, Adidas launched a commemorative version of Yang Cheng T-shirt around the world.
This T-shirt is made in China and costs only 8 euros, with a unified global price. It can be ordered in advance through the Internet and comes in a variety of different colors and styles for men and women. Their positioning of this T-shirt is not a promotional fan product, but hopes to connect all fans with Yang Cheng through such a T-shirt.
"This should be a unified action for all Caesar fans. Wear this T-shirt, and we all have only one purpose, that is, to support our Caesar, remember everything he has brought to football and to us!"
Since the Champions League final opponent was released, Adidas began to promote this T-shirt in the fan group, which is of good quality and low price. The quality is definitely not a problem with Adidas's production. It has the logo of Real Madrid, and a mark signed by Yang Cheng, plus the pattern and slogan, making this commemorative T-shirt look very fashionable.
Before it was launched, this T-shirt has received over one million reservations on the Internet. Once launched, it was sold very popular in major Adidas stores around the world in just a few days, and many Yang Cheng's fans even think that this is a T-shirt that must be treasured.
Not only this commemorative T-shirt, but even other products related to Yang Cheng have been very popular in the past period of time. All fans are scrambling to buy a complete set of Caesar series fan supplies, including clothes, hats, flags, handkerchiefs, scarves, shoes, etc., almost everything.
This also creates a phenomenon, that is, on the streets of Bayern Munich, a group of fans wearing Caesar commemorative T-shirts can be seen gathered together anytime and anywhere. Some of them may be Bayern Munich fans, some of them are Real Madrid fans, and even some are neutral fans, but there is no doubt that they are all fans of Yang Cheng.
For fans, Yang Cheng has no club boundaries or national boundaries.

After arriving in Munich, the team went to Allianz Stadium for the last training session.
This team with the most experience in the finals in Europe. They all know how to play the finals and how to prepare before the game. All this may be difficult for others, but for them, they are rich in experience and are just like common sense.
Yang Cheng's starting lineup in this game was not very doubtful, because in the second leg of the semi-finals, Yang Cheng hid three players with yellow card risks, including Ronaldo, which allowed Real Madrid to do their best in this final.
If nothing unexpected happens, Real Madrid's starting lineup will be Casillas, Thiago Silva, de la Reid, Ramos, Xavi Alonso as the midfielder, David Silva, Kaka and Iniesta form the forward, Ronaldo, Aguero and Messi form the three forwards, and they still play the 3133 tactics.
Because the lineup was not too secret, Yang Cheng did not have any smoke bombs during the last training session, and directly arranged this group of players on the main lineup, and arranged another lineup to fight against them.
The Champions League final is the highest level of professional football in the world, and Real Madrid is the absolute favorite in this showdown. This undoubtedly makes Real Madrid highly concerned and optimistic. Everyone thinks that Real Madrid should be able to win this award, and Real Madrid players also seem confident when training and interviewing, saying that they will definitely be able to defeat their opponents.
Bayern Munich's tactics are actually very similar to Real Madrid to some extent, because Pellegrini was recognized by Bayern Munich's management for his football style similar to Yang Cheng. Now that the fake devil meets the real Li Kui, no one knows what tactics Pellegrini will use to deal with Real Madrid.
From a series of analysis, it can be seen that Bayern Munich is obviously inferior to Real Madrid in terms of player strength and overall combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that although Pellegrini's team won the Bundesliga championship this season, it lost to Dortmund in the German Cup final a week ago and encountered a dark game.
The Bundesliga ended on May 4, and in the two weeks from the 5th to the 19th, Bayern Munich played the German Cup final and lost, but Real Madrid was very morale in La Liga and the King's Cup. To a certain extent, Real Madrid has surpassed Bayern in morale and form.
It is because of this that the public opinion before the game is almost one-sided, believing that Yang Cheng's Real Madrid will definitely beat Pellegrini's Bayern Munich. The key depends on how the players perform on the spot.
Five days are enough to help the players recover from the night at the Bernabeu 5 days ago, because they are all professional players. They are used to this kind of breakup and reunion scene, and they are also very clear about what it means to fight the iron camp. So they all quickly accepted the fact that Yang Cheng was about to leave, just thinking about giving Yang Cheng a farewell gift.
On the contrary, during the last training class, Yang Cheng noticed Raul's problem.
Yang Cheng has always hoped to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Raul, but he never found the time.
It's really strange. The two of them worked together and got together all day long, but the topics discussed were either competitions or something else, and most of them were assistants present, which made Yang Cheng not easy to say something in person.
Now it seems that if he doesn't say it, he will probably have no chance in the future.
…………
…………
Every time in the Champions League final, Yang Cheng will make very careful plans before the game, not only the targeted tactics of the final, but also the place to live before the game. He feels that the hotel you live in does not need to be good, but the most important thing is to provide players with a down-to-earth rest environment so that they can accumulate strength to prepare for tomorrow's final.
So this time in Munich, Yang Cheng chose the Chinese Oriental Hotel. This was his experience after checking in many times. He believed that the hotel was very good at keeping confidentiality and security, and the facilities here were very good, which could provide a good living environment for players and players. Of course, the price was also very high, after all, it was a five-star super luxury hotel.
Another very important reason is that it only takes 20 minutes to drive to Allianz Stadium. The whole process can ensure that the team's bus can move forward smoothly and smoothly, without any demonstrations being blocked by fans on the road, and ensure that the players' mentality will no longer be affected before the game.
It can be said that Yang Cheng's series of preparations before the game were very delicate, and Real Madrid is also very experienced in this regard. After all, they have done this in the past few Champions League finals and have accumulated a lot of experience.
Just like usual, after Real Madrid checked into the Huawen Oriental Hotel, the entire floor was booked by Real Madrid, and the hotel also kept it confidential. Unlike players, they can enjoy a spacious and luxurious suite by themselves.
This is the privilege of the head coach, and he is the only one in the team who has such privileges.
At this moment, Yang Cheng was sitting in the living room of his room, looking at Raul in front of him. He felt that the latter seemed to have something to say, but he seemed to be a little worried, so he specially called Raul, hoping to have a good talk with him.
Yang Cheng could see that Raul was a little restrained in his face now.
No wonder, he will soon replace Yang Cheng as Real Madrid's head coach. Now is undoubtedly at the most sensitive time. He obviously does not want Yang Cheng to misunderstand him, nor does he want to rely too much on Yang Cheng in front of the team, which will in turn create a bad impression of him by players.
Yang Cheng himself also pays attention to this matter. He leaves almost most of the things to Raul to do. He will ask for Raul's opinions on everything. He pays great attention to helping Raul establish prestige in front of the players. I believe Raul himself can also detect this. However, it is still a sensitive moment. So after sitting down, he feels a little embarrassed that he doesn't know where to start talking, so that both of them are sitting.
"I suddenly felt that this person's relationship was really strange!" Yang Cheng broke the silence with a smile. "We don't think so, but we are always afraid of misunderstandings from each other, so we are always careful. Are you funny?"
Raul knew that he was talking about the current situation of the two. To be honest, their friendship would never need to be said. After 6 years of neighbors and relationships, Yang Cheng even had the house done by Raul. If he said that the relationship was not strong, it would be fake.
But sometimes, the better the relationship, the easier it is to embarrass.
"Are there any plans for next season?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Raul had a meeting with Florentino, Piri, Butragino and others. Just before the club's summer preparation plan was released, the team's signings and framework construction had been almost confirmed, but Yang Cheng did not participate in it because he felt that his identity was embarrassing. So he did not want to put pressure on Raul.
He knew very well that once the emperor and the ministers came, some people would definitely be affected.
Raul looked at Yang Cheng and smiled and said, "Keep the overall framework unchanged, ensure that the team's core combat effectiveness remains unchanged, make detailed adjustments. Increase efforts to promote youth training players, especially the Little Five Eagles. They must be retained by the first team position!"
Yang Cheng nodded constantly. The Little Five Eagles are Real Madrid's future hope. They have basically played many games in Real Madrid's first team. Even Zidane's son Enzo Zidane has played in the first team before, but Raul obviously wants to increase their promotion efforts, which means that someone in the first team will definitely be affected by this.
"I think Cruyff is right, you are you. I am me, you and I are two different people. Even if our football philosophy is well inherited, we will have their own preferences. So Real Madrid will usher in the adjustment period next, and your responsibility is to create a Real Madrid that belongs to you in the shortest time!"
Yang Cheng's words surprised Raul, but for only a moment. He soon calmed down because he was not surprised that Yang Cheng would say this, because this is the Yang Cheng he knew and familiar with.
"This game at Allianz Stadium will be my last game at Real Madrid. After this game is over, I will completely become the past of Real Madrid, and you will become the future of Real Madrid, so I think you don't need to worry about an outsider who has passed away."
Raul listened carefully, and he also heard what Yang Cheng said.
Yang Cheng was telling him that he did not need to be jealous of the head coach who had left. If he wanted to clean up the team, then do it. As long as he thought it should, he would do it. Yang Cheng would not interfere with the team, although he still had the title of technical director, even though he was nominally Raul's immediate boss.
Raul and Yang Cheng are actually two different personalities. Yang Cheng is the type that is more direct, honest, and hard and soft. He can suppress superstars majestic or adopt a policy of softness, so his management methods are relatively changeable and vary from person to person.
But Raul is a more restrained type, a bit similar to Guardiola, but this does not mean that Raul is a weak party. On the contrary, Raul has a very tough side in his personality, otherwise he would not have gained a foothold in the team.
Through the past two years, players have become accustomed to Raul's existence. He comes to take over the team. I believe that the problem is not big. The key is whether he can suppress the superstar. If he wants to suppress the superstar, the best way is of course to have enough chips and choices in his hand so that he will not be passive.
Yang Cheng feels that Raul's foundation is the Spanish gang, and this big gang agrees with Raul the most. From captain Casillas to deputy captain Ramos, everyone has affirmed Raul's team. In addition, David Silva, Iniesta, Aveloa, de La Reed and other core players on the defense line, they are all hardcore Raul supporters.
Based on the Spanish Gang, with players like Aguero, Kaka, and Thiago Silva, Raul's power in the locker room is guaranteed.
When Aguero first joined the team, Raul gave him great help. A large part of the latter's playing style learned Raul, so Aguero was very convinced by Raul. As for Kaka and Thiago Silva, they are both low-key players who don't like fighting, so they will also support Raul.
The only big hidden danger is the two ace superstars, Ronaldo and Messi. Yang Cheng knew the character of the former best. The Portuguese obeyed Yang Cheng alone, but Yang Cheng had talked to him before, warned him several times, and told him to cooperate with Raul. The Portuguese agreed, but God knows whether this kid will cause anything again?
As for Messi, the Argentinian mainly competes with Ronaldo.
Yang Cheng has enough prestige and status to suppress these two superstars and allow them to form a healthy competition, but Raul may not be. In other words, Yang Cheng dares to win Ronaldo and Messi when they are in good shape, without worrying that they will get angry, but Raul may not be able to do so.
Therefore, Yang Cheng felt that after Raul came to power, he should establish his authority and status as soon as possible in the shortest time, use the Spanish gang to suppress these two superstars, and then control the locker room of Real Madrid.
Raul attached great importance to the opinions from Yang Cheng, and he said that he would consider Yang Cheng's suggestions carefully.
There is also news that Mourinho's Chelsea fell in love with Real Madrid's Pepe and wanted to introduce Pepe to Stamford Bridge to take over Carvalho. Yang Cheng was very smart and did not talk about this topic, but asked Raul to choose by himself, because Pepe is also his direct descendant, and it is difficult for Yang Cheng to speak whether he sells it or not.
But at the end of the conversation, Yang Cheng said to Raul, "Everything must put the interests and unity of the team first, which is the basis for a team to form combat effectiveness!"
This is equivalent to asking Raul to let go and do it boldly!
After this conversation, Raul also felt confident. At least he knew that Yang Cheng, who had enough power and prestige in the club, kicked him out at any time and anywhere, is now completely on his side, so he can transform and sign up the team according to his wishes.
When seeing Raul away, Yang Cheng sighed deeply. For him, this careful conversation was harder than asking him to direct the last Champions League final, because he was not the kind of person who spoke carefully and was intriguing to do things.
Fortunately, after a fight tonight, he will bid farewell to professional football.
I am lucky but also reluctant. After all, this is a job he has been in for more than ten years and loves very much. Whenever I think of it, he doesn't know whether to feel relaxed or sad.
What Yang Cheng didn't know was that while he was reluctant to leave, somewhere in Munich, there was a group of people secretly planning something, and the goal was undoubtedly the Champions League final venue, Allianz Stadium!!!
