Chapter 1028

Due to its proximity to London, Paris Saint Germain did not arrive in London until noon the day before.

After staying in the hotel, the team took a rest and went to Wembley Stadium to get familiar with the venue under the arrangement of UEFA.

For Wembley Stadium, alpine is more familiar than everyone on both sides. When he was in charge of Manchester City, he did not know how many finals he led the team to play in this stadium, so Paris Saint Germain was more fully prepared and arranged more calmly.

With the arrival of teams in the Champions League final in London, security in the UK has also been upgraded.

According to Agence France Presse, the French government and the British government have respectively received reliable intelligence that individual suspects are planning bomb attacks on the Champions League final, especially in areas with high fan density, which makes the whole Europe worried.

The British government has also come forward to say that it will do its best to ensure the orderly progress of the Champions League final. They have basically targeted the suspects, but the time and place can not be completely determined, but they promise to be vigilant.

Under the threat of terrorist attacks, every move of Paris Saint Germain after arriving in London has been strictly protected. Familiar with the venue training is the whole process of clearance, and no one is allowed to enter or close.

Fortunately, under close protection, the potential threat of terrorist attacks did not affect the preparation mood of Paris Saint Germain players, and the whole field training was carried out in an orderly manner.

It was sunset after the training. Led by Zidane and other assistants, the team left Wembley Stadium and returned to the hotel. Gao Han was accompanied by UEFA officials to attend the pre match press conference and the official dinner of UEFA.

When the high cold arrived at the venue, many protestors gathered outside to demonstrate. They mainly protested that UEFA had handed over the right to host the U21 European Youth Games to Israel not long ago, and many protestors raised banners at the scene.

For such scenes, alpine has long been used to, as long as the scene to maintain order on the line.

"We have just been informed by the London police that a group of extreme Catalan fans had a fierce conflict with Paris Saint Germain fans after arriving in London, and the scene was out of control for a time."

UEFA officials in charge of reception received the cold, the two quickly walked to the venue, looking a little depressed said.

Every year before the Champions League final, off-site news always occupy the news space.

In European football, the influence of professional football is deep-rooted in every corner of the society. Countless fans regard it as their belief and try every means to kill their opponents. Conflicts outside the court are also repeated.

"Is anyone hurt?" High cold has long been used to this.

Not to mention the Champions League final, even in the French Cup final not long ago, there were conflicts between local fans in Paris and Bordeaux fans, but the police in Paris controlled it well and did not lead to bloodshed.

"There are three fans injured, have been properly treated, no serious problem, mainly caused by some iron bars."

Gao Han was slightly stunned, then shook his head and laughed bitterly.

This kind of large-scale fans gathered in the focus of the event, often on the host city's security and police are a huge test.

"In addition, we have given the notice to the team that we will come to Wembley Stadium in advance tomorrow afternoon. We will hold an international superstar veteran game in the afternoon as a warm-up match. At that time, such legendary stars as van der Sar, FIGO, Cannavaro and McManaman will all come out and fight with each other."

It was a special arrangement of UEFA and a special event of this year's Champions League final. A total of 24 retired legendary stars were invited to participate.

"Wait a minute, you can see them at the official dinner."

Gao Han just came to the press conference hall, nodded, pushed the door open and entered the backcourt.

The whole Champions League final has a perfect process and the time is well planned.

Not long after Gao Han arrived at the venue, Barcelona coach bilanova finished his pre match press conference.

Winter in Europe this year comes and goes late. Although it's late May, they usually wear long sleeve autumn clothes.

However, he was obviously wearing more than lanova. He was wearing a thick black suit with a gray neck. His face looked a little pale. The whole person also felt that he was not energetic enough.

In the past six months or so, he has been travelling to Spain and the United States to treat his parotid cancer. Judging from his appearance, he should still not be fully recovered and relatively weak.

"Hey, Tito."

As soon as the alpine saw bilanova, it immediately met him.

Although the two did not agree, as Guardiola's assistant, bilanova is no stranger to alpine.

"How's it going?" The high cold is concerned about bilanova's condition.

Billanova nodded with a smile. "It's basically OK. It's just a little empty."

I can tell that his treatment in New York is going well.

This also makes Gao Han very happy for bilanova and wishes him to recover as soon as possible.

And bilanova also to the Champions League final, said he can't wait, let the cold be careful.

Gao Han smiles that he will not show mercy to lanova.

…………

…………

Like all pre match press conferences, the pre Champions League final press conference process is similar.

Gao Han took the lead in announcing the list of 18 players. Except Yaya Toure, who was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, all the other players who should have been selected were basically selected.

For Yaya Toure missed the Champions League final, Gao Han expressed regret, because Yaya Toure is one of the most important players in the team's midfield, but he believes that Paris Saint Germain has enough bench thickness to fill the vacancy left by Yaya Toure, which will not have much impact on the game.

"For me, Wembley has always been a good place to bring good luck. When I was in charge of the Premier League, I had always conducted games in this stadium. Coming back to Wembley again gave me a strong and familiar feeling

"It's a football match that doesn't need to be mobilized. To be able to reach the final is the best incentive for professional players. I believe my players will do their best in the game and we can laugh to the end."

For the final opponent Barcelona, Gao said the team is still super strength.

"In the past two years, a lot of people have been arguing that Barcelona has begun to go downhill and leave the peak, but I want to say that the level of this team is still very high. Bilanova is a very high level head coach. He has his own coaching style, and he will adjust his tactics according to the actual situation of the team. They won the championship in La Liga with absolute advantage, It's very difficult. "

"Messi, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Harvey and other players are very familiar to me. They are all players with strong personal ability. There is no doubt that Barcelona is still one of the most powerful teams in today's football, so I think the competition in this game will be very fierce, because both sides are eager to win."

And the high cold also mentioned Paris Saint Germain.

"All of us, including the whole France, are looking forward to our bringing the Champions League back to Paris. The level of the French league is not low, and it is developing very fast. But they have been out of touch with the top European honors for a long time. Maybe a St. Brad cup can stimulate the development of the French league."

"Before and after I came to London, I heard the voice of the French fans and I hope I can not disappoint them."

At the end of the press conference, Gao Han made an exception to talk about his plan for the future.

"Yes, such a final is destined to be a great honor for any manager and player, and for me, too, but I will be more calm, because I have won several times, so I am very sure that I will not be unable to sleep tonight, because this game is very important, but it is only one game."

"I want to say that tomorrow's game may be the last Champions League game of my coaching career. I have a strong confidence in lifting the St. Brad cup for the last time. We will laugh to the end, and my players will fight to fulfill all our wishes."

This explanation is also tantamount to admitting the rumors from the outside world that he will retire. As for his plans after retirement, Gao Han said that he might take a break and put more energy into the operation of Chinatown.

"I believe that in the future, there should be no more speculation about my confrontation with Chinatown." Gao Han laughs.

Media reporters are also a burst of laughter, but there will certainly be other topics of speculation.

For example, if the performance of Chinatown is not ideal, there will be a high cold in a rage to fire the head coach, to pick up his own position and so on.

This kind of news can certainly attract attention, and is also loved by fans.

After the press conference, Gao Han was taken to the official dinner hall by the staff.

At this regular dinner, in addition to the head coaches and officials of the two sides, not only the British royal family arranged for the cold neighbor Prince William to come in person, but also the famous coaches such as Sir Alex Ferguson and David Becks, as well as the head coach Arsene Wenger of Arsenal.

The most gratifying thing for Gao Han is that the relationship between Ferguson and David has improved a lot, and they have begun to communicate.

Obviously, after leaving Manchester United's position, Ferguson has gradually put down his worries.

However, there was an emergency at the dinner.

Although the London police have strengthened security measures due to the rumors of terrorist attacks, there are still three extreme fans in Catalonia who disguised as security guards at the scene and joined the dinner party. After that, they held high the slogan of protesting against the high cold. Two of them even rushed to the high cold, which is likely to beat the high cold.

Fortunately, the three men were arrested immediately, and the police arrested them on the spot.

UEFA president Platini and Secretary General ivantino also appeared to calm down, expressing regret for the incident.

After that, Platini apologized to Gao in person and said that UEFA had passed Gao's appeal at this afternoon's Executive Committee and decided to adjust the yellow card suspension mechanism of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. Once any team enters the semi-final, the previous yellow card will be cleared to ensure that things like ya Toure will not happen again.

Gao is also very happy about this. Although Yaya Toure can't use it, it is undoubtedly good news for other players to ensure that similar tragedies will not happen again.

However, after the emergency, Gao Han was not at ease with the team who stayed in the hotel. Before the dinner was over, he told Platini and Ferguson and left the dinner scene ahead of time.

He hopes to be better prepared for tomorrow night's final.
