Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo did not communicate any more during the last adaptation to the venue before the game, which disappointed the journalists who had their brains open. They were very much looking forward to the top star of the two teams writing about the off-court 'duel' What.

Until the end of adapting to the venue, the two of them did not have any communication, not even their eyes.

Therefore, the reporter's focus can only be shifted to the routine press conference before the game.

The press conference hall of the new Wembley Stadium has limited space, so it is impossible for the two teams to accept media interviews at the same time. Instead, in accordance with international practice, the visiting team will first participate in the routine press conference before the game.

In the draw before the game, Dortmund was the home team and Real Madrid was the visiting team.

Mourinho did not bring captain Iker Casillas to attend, he brought the current team's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who attended the press conference just in line with the appetite of the reporters on the scene.

The press conference has just started, and the topic should focus on the UEFA Champions League final tomorrow night, but when a reporter from "Sky Sports" got the right to interview, he even took out an ipad, and two pictures were displayed on the screen.

The first one is a distant shot where Tang Zheng gave a thumbs up to Ronaldo, and the second one was an hour ago when Ronaldo shook his right index finger at Tang Zheng during the warm-up at the new Wembley Stadium.

Mourinho didn't have much emotional change, Ronaldo's face was extremely ugly at that moment.

Although it disappeared in a flash, many reporters on the scene still captured it.

The "Sky Sports" reporter asked Ronaldo: "Is the second photo a response to the first photo?"

Ronaldo kept abusing the reporter who was "not knowing the taste" in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "You think too much, this is just a coincidence."

The reporter was naturally very dissatisfied with Ronaldo's answer. A French "Echo" reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Cristiano, this explanation is too far-fetched, right? The angle and expression of the photo are very good. In fact, we want to It's very simple to know, you and Tang have private conflicts?"

Although Ronaldo scolded mother in his heart, his expression didn't change much: "It's not good to make something out of nothing."

Having said that, he changed his voice and pointed to the reporters in front of him: "Tomorrow night is the Champions League final, I think you should focus on the game tomorrow night instead of the two photos from nowhere, This is too boring, if the following interviews still revolve around this, I refuse to answer."

As the saying goes,

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

There is no doubt that Ronaldo is now pretending not to know anything.

The reporter had no choice but to shift the topic to tomorrow night's UEFA Champions League final. After all, Dortmund's regular pre-match press conference is coming up. There is no useful news to be found from Ronaldo. dig out.

According to the list of attendees at the press conference, the player following Dortmund coach Klopp to attend the routine press conference before the match was none other than Tang Zheng.

Since Ronaldo's silent warning, the reporter asked a lot of questions, and most of the topics revolved around the Champions League final to be held tomorrow night.

Of course, some blind-eyed reporters asked about the rumors that Real Madrid's dressing room was not peaceful recently.

Mourinho has his own way of dealing with reporters. He smiled and said: "A team that can fight back in the Champions League semi-finals has a locker room crisis? Is it reasonable? This is an insult to the IQ of the fans."

The "Sun" reporter who asked the question was blushed by Mourinho and was speechless.

Many reporters who have fought against Mourinho mourned him in silence, because Mourinho did not recognize his relatives.

When talking about the Champions League final, he said: "Of course it is the championship! Isn't it for the championship to enter the final? Dortmund is indeed very strong this season, but our overall strength is stronger and the atmosphere in the team is better, so I firmly believe that in the end Real Madrid will have the last laugh!"

Not long after, the visiting team's pre-match press conference ended.

After a brief process handover, the home team's regular press conference before the game started.

Dortmund head coach Klopp and acting captain Tang Zheng attended and sat in front of the press conference full of advertisements.

The reporter's routine was exactly the same as the previous regular press conference of the visiting team. The first question they asked was some public opinion caused by the two photos.

The reactions of Tang Zheng and Ronaldo were almost the same, he put on a very curious expression: "Oh? And this thing? Why didn't I know? You should tell me immediately, maybe I will have a fight with him You'll get the best news, what a pity."

After all, Tang Zheng also put on a regretful expression.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter at the press conference.

Obviously, these reporters with big brains didn't expect that Tang Zheng would defuse public criticism with a joking tone, so they looked at Tang Zheng in a daze, and didn't speak.

The Chinese reporters present and local Dortmund reporters silently praised Tang Zheng's answer, turning passive into active invisibly.

They believed that if Tang Zheng was constantly harassed by public opinion until the Champions League final, it would probably have a huge impact on tomorrow night's game, so Tang Zheng's calm answer made these tense reporters relax.

In the subsequent questions, there were many questions about Klopp's game tactics tomorrow night.

Whether Dortmund use the usual high position pressure, or choose to advance layer by layer relatively steadily, or compete for the midfield with its super midfield control.

In response, Klopp simply replied: "It depends."

The reporter was not surprised by Klopp's answer. How could the tactics related to the Champions League final be revealed in advance?

Even the starting lineup is difficult to announce in advance.

want to know?

It can only be obtained from UEFA one hour before the game through official channels.

In less than twenty minutes, the home team's pre-match routine press conference ended, and Tang Zheng followed coach Klopp back to the hotel where he was staying in a special car.

Although Ronaldo and Tang Zheng denied it at the regular press conference before the game, the media reporters with big brains did not intend to let the news go easily...

That night, Ronaldo's suspected response to Tang Zheng's hand movements made a big splash on his personal social network Twitter.

The time for the last adaptation of the two teams before the game conflicted, and they had to occupy half of the court to adapt to the venue under unavoidable circumstances.

During the warm-up process of the two teams, Dortmund players and Real Madrid players jogged alternately, Ronaldo visibly shook his index finger when passing by Tang Zheng.

Although it was just a picture, the camera was very accurate, so it looked like a response to Tang Zheng's gesture yesterday.

This time the feng shui took turns, Dortmund fans supported Tang Zheng and abused Ronaldo...

※※※

On the second day, which was the day of the Champions League final, news reports were still about Tang Zheng and Ronaldo's 'gesture' fighting.

At the same time, the two major sports equipment suppliers, Nike and Puma, rationally use the public opinion brought by their contracted stars to carry out brand strategy promotion.

In order to allow Ronaldo and Tang Zheng to play better in the final of the UEFA Champions League, the two companies released the latest sneakers at the same time.

Nike held a press conference in London, and the ninth-generation assassin tailored for Ronaldo was born!

Mercurial-Vapor-IX-CR!

The sneakers are made of concave-convex texture fabric, and the color matching is very biased. The upper part of the upper uses a gradient color of bright orange and fluorescent green, and the lower part is set off with white. The Swoosh-Logo uses Safari spots to make this shoe Ronaldo's exclusive color scheme Assassin has a very distinctive personal color.

During the preparation period, Ronaldo was naturally unable to attend the press conference, but Bert Hoyt, the vice president of Nike Europe, took the CR exclusive combat boot mechanical box to the hotel where Real Madrid stayed and handed it to Ronaldo in person. The scene was quite grand.

Puma held a press conference almost at the same time, announcing the launch of the latest speed series Evospeed sneakers tailored for Tang Zheng.

In this latest sneaker, there is no traditional letter V in the name of the sneaker. Instead, it is replaced by Evospeed, which is full of innovation and breakthrough meaning, which literally means 'evolution speed'.

The latest Evospeed series. The sneakers may not be as fashionable as Nike in terms of color, but the sneakers as a whole are very smooth and full of speed, especially the traditional big cat logo on the inside and outside, replaced by Puma's ribbon logo.

In addition, the design also cancels the shoelace cover of the previous generations of V series sneakers, and chooses to adopt a relatively traditional symmetrical shoelace design without a shoelace cover.

Overall, this latest sneaker is getting closer to trend without losing track of tradition...

Dortmund stayed at the hotel, and the new president of Puma China, Philip Boquillon, personally turned into a "courier" and handed over the Puma iron box containing the Evospeed. sneakers to Tang Zheng.

Because Puma is Dortmund's official partner and jersey sponsor, Tang Zheng, accompanied by the club's sports director Zorc and Puma China president Philip Boquillon, came to the Kearney training base to try on the Evospeed. sneakers and accept the media interview.

In this regard, Nike is obviously inferior to Puma.

Of course, this has a direct relationship with Adidas, Real Madrid's official partner and jersey sponsor.

From the moment Tang Zheng put on the Evospeed. sneakers, he could keenly feel that the sneakers were lighter than the V-series sneakers, thus increasing the frequency of subtle leg swings.

Next, Tang Zheng tried to pass, catch and shoot.

Compared with the previous V series sneakers, the Evospeed. sneakers feel more sensitive, especially on the inside of the foot and the instep.

Finally, a simple reporter interview.

Considering that tonight is the UEFA Champions League final, Puma has been well prepared in all aspects, so it only lasted less than an hour from receiving the sneakers to the camera, testing the sneakers, and being interviewed by the media.

Therefore, the influence on Tang Zheng can be ignored.

Dortmund and Real Madrid turned a deaf ear to various reports from the outside world, and as time passed, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo also shifted from the activities of their respective sports brand sponsors to prepare for the Champions League final.

Although the game is held at night, the nutritional intake of lunch is also very important.

After eating a high-nutrition lunch collectively, there is a two-hour break.

Then it is about half an hour of strength training in the gym provided by the hotel where you stay, so that the players can feel their physical condition.

At this time, four hours before the start of the game, the TV stations that have the rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League final began to broadcast forward-looking programs about the UEFA Champions League final.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Dortmund team eats a nutritious dinner, which is the staple food intake before the game.

At 6:30 pm local time in the UK, all Dortmund players and coaching staff who were ready to go took the bus provided by the organizing committee.

Not long after, the bus with yellow and black stripes as the background slowly drove towards the new Wembley Stadium amidst countless flashing lights and loud cheers.

At the same time, the Real Madrid bus also left the hotel and headed for the new Wembley Stadium.

UEFA is thoughtful, and the promotion is impeccable. It even sent two helicopters to track and shoot the two teams of Dortmund and Real Madrid on the bus, so the TV station that received the broadcast signal in advance can see the two teams going to the new Wembley Stadium. The course condition of the course.

Perhaps it was intentional, and the two teams arrived at the new Wembley Stadium at the same time as a 'coincidence'.

At this time, the periphery of the new Wembley Stadium Plaza is already overcrowded, and there are long queues at every entrance.

When the two buses drove into the stadium, the fans who were queuing or walking blindly made deafening cheers subconsciously, cheering for the teams they supported in advance.

And those fans who didn't buy tickets seemed to work extra hard, shouting with their lives.

The soundproofing facilities of the buses for the two teams are extremely high, but it is still very difficult to face the huge cheers like mountains and tsunami.

The players who closed their eyes and rested their minds opened their eyes one after another, looking towards the periphery of the court.

Due to the large number of fans outside the square, the speed of the bus was relatively slow. Tang Zheng could see densely packed Dortmund fans wearing yellow and black jerseys through the glass cleaning. Huge poster.

Among them, Tang Zheng had the largest number of huge posters, so Tang Zheng who was looking out the window looked very happy, and he waved to the ecstatic fans in salute.

About half an hour later, in the locker room of the home team, the Dortmund players who had changed their equipment were taken to the stadium by physical coach Oliver Bartlett to warm up.

For a while, only the head coach Klopp and assistant coach Zeliko Buvac were left in the locker room.

Klopp took a deep breath and then let it out slowly. This is a habit he has developed over the years.

As long as you feel nervous, it will work once!

But this time there was an accident. He took three deep breaths in a row but there was no improvement. His heart was still beating so fast that his body was trembling slightly.

This is frightening. Looking at Klopp's assistant coach Zeliko Buvac, he asked in a panic: "Jurgen, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, just a little nervous." Klopp waved his hand.

"Nervous?" Zeliko Buvacs was a little disbelieving: "Are you sure?"

After about half a minute, Klopp's breathing gradually stabilized before answering assistant Zeliko Bouac: "I'm sure, it's nervous."

After all, he added: "Aren't you nervous?"

After confirming that Klopp was fine, Zeliko Buvac shrugged his shoulders and said heartlessly: "You are the one who shows up. I have no reason to be nervous."

Instead of speaking, Klopp gave Zeliko Bovac the middle finger.
