With the UEFA Champions League final approaching, Munich, Germany has been fully upgraded, the whole city is filled with a strong sense of football.
This is the annual hall-level event of the highest level in the European Professional League.
Fans of the two teams have poured into this southern city of Germany, and the hotels in Munich have begun to fall short of demand.
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Munich ’s most exclusive hotel, is located in the heart of the Old Town, surrounded by the State Opera House, the Royal Beer Hall and the Maximilian Shopping Street, all of Munich ’s very famous attractions.
The whole Mandarin Oriental Hotel has a total of 73 rooms, 48 rooms and 25 suites. As early as three days before the finals, the hotel announced that it was fully booked and refused all sources, but despite the strict external strictness of the hotel Strict agreement, but the pervasive reporter still dug up the big gold owner of the whole Oriental Mandarin Hotel.
That was the number one favourite in the Champions League final, Real Madrid.
Seventy-three rooms, obviously unable to meet all the needs of Real Madrid, because this time the Galaxy Battleship expedition to Munich, in addition to the first team, coaching staff and employees, and their team members, as well as management, club names and special Invited guests, Mandarin Oriental Hotel can't stay at all.
Fortunately, the hotel is located in a prosperous area, so Real Madrid is just opposite the Maximilian Hotel, which also occupies an entire floor, dedicated to receiving club staff and important employees.
Real Madrid President Florentino personally led the team to Munich, and stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, personally oversaw the Champions League final, and the Real Madrid immediately announced the declaration of the championship, which undoubtedly shows the strong championship within the team desire.
Three consecutive championships, which is a rare honor in European football history. So far, apart from Real Madrid's five consecutive championships, only Cruyff's Ajax and Beckenbauer's Bayern Munich have achieved such honors.
If Real Madrid is realized, it will undoubtedly create the miracle of European football in the 21st century.
As the entire hotel was wrapped up by Real Madrid, the Oriental Mandarin Hotel arranged a 24-hour security staff at each entrance to refuse all visitors unless invited by Real Madrid.
But even with Real Madrid's invitation, anyone in the hotel refused to take pictures.
The hotel is located in a narrow alleyway, five floors high. The top floor is the outdoor swimming pool and Michelin restaurant. The environment is beautiful and the service is good. Even the charges are more expensive, ranging from 650 euros to 4,000 euros per night. , And even if the Real Madrid team stayed and made a big discount, it was still very luxurious.
However, for Yang Yang, this hotel does not satisfy him.

"what happened?"
The day before the Champions League final, during the afternoon break, when Zidane came to the top pool, he saw that Yang Yang did not go swimming as usual, but lay down under the umbrella by the pool and took a leisurely rest. accident.
Swimming is a good habit that Yang Yang has cultivated for many years. It not only exercises his physique, but also maintains the coordination and flexibility of his body, which is an indispensable part of his daily training.
"It's too small, but not addictive." Yang Yang shook his head angrily.
After Zidane listened, he turned to look at the swimming pool. After a rough calculation, he had to admit that it was indeed small.
The preliminary estimate should be only eight meters long. What kind of swimming pool is this?
Although Yang Yang is not a professional swimmer, he has insisted on swimming for many years, and his swimming skills are not to be said. How can he be so enjoyable with such a short swimming lane?
Take a look at his swimming cap, which is almost dry. Needless to say, it must have gone down a few laps before coming up.
"You have brought them a big problem, many high-end hotels do not have such a large swimming pool." Zidane smiled wryly, because if according to Yang Yang's standards, at least 25 meters, preferably 50 Meter.
For example, the swimming pool of Valdebebas is the standard fifty meters.
Yang Yang didn't know where, and shook his head. "I'll go back to the gym to do activities."
Zidane nodded, and he knew that Yang Yang was the kind of player who couldn't help himself.
"How is it? Have you discussed the final strategy?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
In recent days, the coaching staff has been meeting to carefully prepare for the Champions League final against Chelsea.
Although Real Madrid dominates the overall strength and has more experience than its opponents, it must not be a bit careless, because this is the Champions League final and Chelsea can enter the finals, which itself proves the strength of the Blues.
Paralyzing carelessness and neglecting the enemy is the deadliest weakness on the football field.
Zidane nodded. "It's almost the same. We must still take the initiative to face Chelsea. The strength is dominant. The pass and the ball must be in the hands. However, from a safe point of view, we may Will continue to play with a double midfielder. In the finals, it is essential to first ensure that you do not lose. "
In the final of the Champions League, no team with an advantage will be in danger, because the risks and gains do not match. As long as it is stable and there are no major mistakes, it can win.
Real Madrid is like this now, playing single midfielder, playing pass control, the risk is a bit big, and Real Madrid has not yet formed a set of stable tactical framework for the pass and control of the ball, so Ancelotti is also understandable .
As someone said before, the genes in the bones of every Italian coach are conservative.
Of course, this is not a derogatory term, because when it comes to this, and Yang Yang himself is changed, it is estimated that he still chooses to be conservative.
No one can take the team's efforts for a season to take risks, right?
"The head coach Di Matteo is very powerful, Boas was expected to come to Chelsea, but the result was a loss, mainly because he was too young, before being an assistant coach of Mourinho, in Chelsea. In front of this big boss, Boas couldn't control the dressing room, but Di Matteo did. "
Italian Di Matteo was originally Boas's assistant coach. After Boas was out of class, he became Chelsea's acting head coach. In the past nine weeks, he has won unanimous approval from Chelsea.
It is not an exaggeration to describe him in that old saying in the football world.
"We have received information before that Di Matteo will chat with the players separately after each game. You should understand this."
Yang Yang nodded, and Ancelotti did just that. There is no technical content. It depends on whether you will talk or not.
Some coaches such as Benitez, you let him chat with the players one by one every game. It is estimated that without two games, he can offend everyone in the team, but Ancelotti can manage every one. The players all talked about their knowledge and knowledge, and were obedient.
I have to say that this is also a skill.
In Beijing dialect, he is a grandpa.
Di Matteo obviously has this skill, and this chat not only allowed him to gain a firm foothold, but also greatly improved the cohesion of Chelsea, which in turn made Chelsea perform better and better, and now it is more Champions League final.
"These alone should not be enough to prove Di Matteo's success? What about his skills and tactics?" Yang Yang asked.
Zidane nodded and smiled, "Yes, it is impossible to win by chat alone. Di Matteo also has a skill. His targeted tactics are very strong because he is the head coach of Italy."
Yang Yang smiled bitterly. There is a popular saying in European professional football. Every Italian coach is a master of tactics.
Perhaps this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it also reflects a feature, that is, the tactical ability of Italian coaches are very strong.
"We can't figure out Di Matteo's platoon formation now, and I don't know in what ways he will restrain us, so the only thing we can do is to exert our strengths and exert our best efforts. Type out the characteristics. "
Zidane's words basically made Yang Yang understand the meaning of the coaching staff. Real Madrid still has to firmly fight the two wings and two ribs after controlling the ball. This is Real Madrid's consistent advantage.
Ibrahimovic is at the forefront, suppressing Chelsea's two central defenders, Yang Yang and Robben create threats on two sides, plus two world-class defenders Marcelo and Maicon insert assists Ability, these ensure that Real Madrid has a strong enough attack to face Chelsea's defense.
"Should the midfielder still pick the card?" Yang Yang asked.
Zidane's eyes flickered with admiration, and it was often more comfortable to talk to smart people, because they all made a difference.
Chelsea will definitely strengthen the protection at the front of the penalty area. The double midfielder is sure. Behind Ibrahimovic, there must be someone responsible for organizing the ball and looking for space. The ball goes to the wings.
David Silva is a very good candidate. His playing can strengthen Real Madrid's midfield ball control and threatening ability, but from the current point of view, Real Madrid does not lack offensive threats, more still lack of direct scoring Capability, this is Kaka's advantage.
All the tactics are talked about a lot, it seems to be dazzled, in fact, the essence is the same, that is, the ball is passed to the center of the goal area, and then the players come to the foot to create a threat.
Whether it is a side pass, or a rib cut, or a strong midway, these are just means to achieve this destination.
Zidane has played in Serie A for many years. He is very aware of the essence of Italian football tactics, just as Guardiola is also deeply influenced by Italian football, and the same is true for Di Matteo opposite Chelsea.
Ancelotti's Real Madrid and Di Matteo's Chelsea, this looks like a one-on-one matchup, or a collision between Spanish and English football, but in essence still has a very strong mark of Italian football.
Di Matteo is good at targeted tactics, and Yang Yang is also very curious, how will he come to restrain Real Madrid's attack in this game?
Strength and experience are at a disadvantage. If Di Matto can't restrain Real Madrid's attack, then Chelsea will definitely lose this game.
But Real Madrid has a solid victory?
Nor is it.
Positioning is Real Madrid's biggest and deadliest weakness.
This is a difficult problem that has not been solved from the time of Benitez.
The Chelsea team has Drogba.
Yang Yang still remembers how Chelsea destroyed Liverpool with corner kicks at Anfield.
