What is football?
Why are there so many people all over the world, crazy for a ball?
For some people, football is a culture and art of appreciation. In their leisure time, they will sit on the comfortable stands and enjoy the sensory stimulation and enjoyment of the artistic football brought by the two teams in the stadium under the stands. For them, football is no different from eating popcorn and watching Hollywood special effects blockbuster!
For others, football is a belief. They have been loyal to a certain team since their ancestors. They have been influenced by the spirit and tradition of this team since childhood. With a sense of piety belonging to the general religion, they will revel for the team they support to win, and cry when they fail. This is a life experience that can't be exchanged for anything!
There are also some people who think of football as a social activity. Through football, they contact some partners who may not be able to reach on weekdays. They sit in the VIP box of the football field and talk a lot. Hard-to-talk transactions and trading, how well the ball is played, they do n’t care, they do n’t care about the ball, but the progress of communication. For them, football is a medium, a tool, just talking with mobile phones, computers same!
There are more people who regard football as a war, a war that does not require bloodshed, but is very cruel, and there is a war of no smoke between different skin colors, different ethnic groups, and different races. , They will ask the players on the football field to fight like a dead soldier who is not afraid of death until they die!
A lot of people will ask me, what is football in my eyes?
I can be very simple or complicated, just like this seemingly simple but actually complicated headache problem, the key is to look at the issue from which you stand.
Football, in simple terms. He is a game, a fun, beautiful, and interesting game. Because it is fun, so many people participate. Because it looks good, there are many people who appreciate it, and because it is interesting, there are many people who are addicted to it.
But in terms of complexity, football, like all competitive fields, represents a human nature!
Challenge yourself constantly, break through yourself constantly!
Bolt is a great athlete. Because he proved again and again on the runway that he can push and raise the limits of humanity, he made everyone around the world realize that he has almost no limits.
Yes, maybe not everyone can become Bolt, but the interesting thing about people is that when Bolt is reached, everyone will feel that I can also be reached at that moment. They will not consider whether it is really possible to achieve it!
The same is true for football. 22 players play on the football field, and they control the ball. They did not hesitate to run physically, and their tacit cooperation with each other brought all audiences a sensory stimulation, telling them that people could reach this level and reach this level.
They can be satisfied by this stimulation, get emotional excitement and vent, and even get some insights in life.
It is a remarkable thing to become a professional football player. To be a top-notch football player, especially to be a football player for a great club such as Real Madrid. This is a great feat in itself, and it is enough to make any player proud and proud all his life.
Put on this jersey, it means that you have become one of the best and most outstanding football players in the billions of people on the planet. It also represents a sustenance.
That is, on the planet we live on, billions of people put their expectations and hopes to challenge the limits and break the limits, all on you!
Everyone should have this pride and pressure, and turn it into a driving force!
May 28, 2011, Wembley Stadium, London, invincible!

Sat in the cabin of the aircraft, looking sideways, looking out, enjoying the rare aerial view.
Sometimes Yang Cheng feels that he is a very insecure person, especially when he encounters some uncertain situations, his sense of insecurity will become more obvious and clearer.
Mourinho, this is definitely the most powerful opponent in his life so far. What tactics will he use at Wembley Stadium to challenge Real Madrid?
do not know!
It was because he did n’t know that Yang Cheng was worried, so this time, after finishing the last round of La Liga, he arranged all the players and rushed to London in advance because he had to give enough players To adjust to London ’s climate and environment, and to avoid Iceland ’s volcanic ash.
This should be Real Madrid's longest game away, they have to stay in London for a full 5 days.
In order to continue training during these five days, Yang Cheng had talked to Wenger before. During this period of Real Madrid in London, they will enter the Arsenal branch north of London and east of Waterford. Erni training base for training, during this period, Real Madrid will temporarily rent this training base.
Kearney training base is known as the first five-star training base in the style of continental Europe among all the Premier League teams. It is also known as the best comprehensive training base among all the Premier League teams, at least The scenery here is not what other clubs can have.
According to the plan made by Yang Cheng and the coaching staff, Real Madrid will conduct closed training at the Kearney training base for the first two days in London to adjust the status of the players. They will return to the center of London on Thursday night. Book before booking here The hotel, and on Friday to the Wembley Stadium for adaptation training.
It can be said that playing in London, Real Madrid can be regarded as an away game, Chelsea is home, and still has a great advantage, and relatively speaking, Wembley Stadium Chelsea players will be more familiar.
However, because the coaches including Ferguson and Wenger have bombarded the poor facilities of Wembley Stadium, this time in order to better prepare for the Champions League final, Wembley Stadium introduced a new turf system and will The administrator of the Anfield Stadium paid a lot of money to the Wembley Stadium to manage the turf. It is said that the facilities of the Wembley Stadium are now confirmed by UEFA. I think that this place already has the qualifications and level to host the world-famous competition of the Champions League final.
This time he followed the team to London, including all the players who have played in the first team this season, some of the second team teenagers also accompanied the team, and the team's injured Tiago? Silva, Pepe and Villa, but the club management, the family of players and the reporters are not included here. They will arrive at the London meeting after the team has returned to the city centre and an Emirates flight will arrive.
…………
…………
Got off the plane and directly boarded the bus. The team avoided the reporters who were in the airport waiting hall. They directly exited the airport from the apron, boarded the ring road, and went straight to the northern suburbs of London.
Maybe because there are still several days before the Champions League final day, so the atmosphere of the city's final is not very obvious. But along the way, you can already see some billboards and some sponsors have begun to warm up for the Champions League final, but this situation gradually faded out of London.
Yang Cheng chose the small town of St Albans as a station. One of the important reasons is that it is relatively quiet here, which can give him a loose enough environment to secretly adjust the team, and even prepare for the team's decisive start tactics. .
Tiago? Silva, as the team's back defender, his absence will have a great impact on Real Madrid, plus Pepe also missed due to injury in the final round of the league. Real Madrid currently has two central defenders left in the defense, Ramos and Compani, how to use them. How to arrange troops is also an issue that Yang Cheng must seriously consider.
Also, right-back Maicon has been in a normal state recently. Will the right side where he is stationed become a breakthrough for Chelsea?
After all, Chelsea's left is Ashley? The combination of Cole and Malouda, which has both offensive and defensive combinations, is Mourinho's most combative side. Relatively speaking, Eto'o on the right is good, but right-back Ivano Vicki is relatively hidden, and is bound to be a breakthrough for Real Madrid.
Relatively speaking. Chelsea's starting lineup does not have much suspense, the team is strong and the staff is neat, Mourinho's starting lineup will not change much unless the Portuguese really want to let go and face Real Madrid. It ’s too risky to suddenly change my lineup that has worked perfectly in the past season. Mourinho is not stupid at all!
Goalkeeper Cech, Ashley? Cole, Carvalho, Terry, Ivanovic; three midfielders Sneijder, Lampard and Mota; front court trident Malouda, Diego? Milito and Eto'o.
If there is no accident, Chelsea's starting lineup will be the same, and they will also continue to use a high-strength contraction and defensive tactics, freeze and contain Real Madrid's attack, and then wait for the opportunity to fight back. Even Yang Cheng can be sure that Chelsea The counterattack must be in Diego? Milito made a fuss about him.
This Argentine striker is very optimistic about Yang Cheng. He has said many times before, Diego? Milito is the kind of player who plays with his brain and is a forward that any coach likes very much. He is the support point for Chelsea's frontcourt movement.
Today's Chelsea is more offensive and defensive than before, and has more momentum, but the tactical execution is very high, especially their defense, it can be said to be solid.
The match between the two teams in this game, the key point will be whether Real Madrid can break through the Chelsea defense!
Yang Cheng never doubts the strength of his team. He believes that Mourinho will not be pressed out after the opening, because he is very clear, pressed out to grab the ball with Real Madrid, that is suicidal behavior, so he will die, from one Stop at the beginning and let Real Madrid attack.
This is a spear and shield duel. If it is broken, Real Madrid will win, but it will not be broken. Chelsea will win.
St. Michael's Manor Hotel is located on a beautiful lake, surrounded by a beautiful garden with magnificent views, but the area is not large, and the rooms are not many. After Real Madrid has checked in, we will directly pack all of them.
It is a great honor for the hotel team to receive Real Madrid such as Real Madrid. Apart from great discounts, it has given full cooperation and support in all aspects. As far as possible, it promises to arrange a stable, comfortable and peaceful residence for Real Madrid.
The players should bring as little stuff as possible. One person provided a suitcase provided by a sponsor with training clothes and competition supplies. Upon arriving at the hotel, Yang Cheng asked them to return to the hotel room to clean up and rest for half an hour. Once again, take the bus directly to the Kearney training base in Arsenal.
This training base is well-known, but there is only one intersection, which is a narrow road just enough for a bus to pass through.
But after turning a corner, he came to the gate of the training base. suddenly see the light.
Large parking lot, large gate, in short, everything is big, people feel that Wenger was planning to build in this way, was it to avoid harassment from outside? There have definitely been countless reporters who have lost their way in these years!
The staff received a notice early, and saw the bus of Real Madrid arrived. Release immediately.
The players came to the training building, the staff took them into the locker room, Yang Cheng took the coach directly to the training ground, where they were the focus of attention, and Raul was the first time to arrange assistants Perform training ground layout.
"Mourinho **** asked me to help spy on the military. I was thinking about selling the intelligence to him!" Wenger came out of the office and stood beside Yang Cheng with a smile, looking at the training ground. Busy coaches.
"He can only do this. Otherwise, he has no chance at all!" Yang Cheng grinned.
Wenger smiled, "I guess I have you. Don't tell him if he is killed!"
These people have been fighting each other for so many years, and fighting each other to understand each other's personality. Mourinho is notoriously arrogant and proud. How is it possible to obtain intelligence through this method?
"The environment here is really good, there are trees and water, what a pity!" Yang Cheng sighed.
"What a pity?" Wenger turned his head and always felt that this guy was not good.
"Unfortunately, there is no taste of champions!" Yang Cheng smiled.
Wenger's face stiffened, he really wanted to blast the **** out, but he still held back. Not angry, if you really want to be angry every time, dealing with Mourinho, Ferguson, Yang Cheng, the voter, it is really spitting blood every day.
"Then congratulations, your second son has been settled!" He also deliberately sarcastically.
"I deliberately chose the Korny base to paralyze Mourinho. Let him be sure that I wrongly chose a magical land destined not to win the championship, so he would relax his guard!"
"You ... want me to leave you straight, as for this kind of tricks?" Wenger was so angry that he turned around angrily and left.
But this guy was just about to turn the corner, and did not forget to throw it over, "Eat together at night, you treat me!"
Yang Cheng shrugged and watched Wenger leave in a funny way. But if he was going to prepare for the final, how could a potential competitor see how he trains players?
"What's going on? How can I see Wenger leaving angrily?" Paul? Bayer and Benitez walked around the corner, apparently meeting Wenger on the road, "You offended our landlord?"
"Now it is the uncle who gives the money, we pay the rent, why give him a face?" Yang Cheng looked straightforward.
Even the chubby Benitez couldn't help but smile, Wenger really suffered a lot in the fight.
"Do you really plan to do this this time?" Benitez asked, his face condensed after he smiled.
Yang Cheng did not answer the question, "Is there any problem?"
Benitez smiled slightly and looked at the training ground, "Always feel ... Is it too risky?"
"Is it not a good adventure?" Yang Cheng asked again.
Benitez is really going to be mad at this bastard, especially Yang Cheng's expression that doesn't matter about anything, and being free can bring the dead to life from the coffin, which is terrible!
"I remember, once a professional gambler told me a sentence, because life is short, so the shot must be bigger!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile, "Anyway, this is the same in a lifetime, gamble, try No matter whether you win or lose, there is no regret. "
After making a joke, Yang Cheng turned serious. "Morinho must have guessed how I would fight. Generally speaking, Thiago? Silva and Pepe are out, and the most natural way is to match up. The supplements, go directly to Compagni and Ramos, which also has the least impact on the team. "
"Normally a head coach will not adjust the team ’s tactics and ideas before the game, especially before the key competition, but I am not a general head coach, nor is our team a normal team, they play together After five years of playing together and five years of cooperation under the same tactical thinking, they are very familiar with each other. "
"In this case, any adjustment, as long as it does not hurt the muscles and bones, it is not difficult for them, they can adapt well, and I am convinced from the beginning to the end, with our current strength, control This game is not difficult, the real difficulty is how to break Chelsea's goal, as long as we can do this, then we won! "
In terms of overall strength, Real Madrid is better than Chelsea. Together with Real Madrid's style of play for many years, this team will have more control than Chelsea. Mourinho cannot know this. He must also understand very well that he has only one choice to face Real Madrid, defend!
Can hold, he can win, can not hold, he will definitely lose!
And Real Madrid is just the opposite. Yang Cheng's team can only choose to attack, win if they break, and lose if they don't break!
In fact, sometimes things are so simple.
"Relax, I know Mourinho better than anyone else, so I know very well how to beat him better. I'm done in this game!" Yang Cheng said confidently.
He knows Mourinho, that's right, but Mourinho also knows him!
Who wins or loses depends on the game! (To be continued)
