"We have beaten two Bundesliga teams in the Champions League knockout rounds this season and I hope to beat the third one tomorrow."

At the pre-match press conference at the Stadium of Light, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke in front of a room full of media reporters.

"Of course, if someone told me before this season that there would be a Bundesliga team entering the Champions League final, then I would have guessed Bayern Munich, not Hamburg."

Ancelotti's words also made the media reporters at the scene nod their heads.

This is obvious.

Bayern Munich completed a perfect season last year, and the Triple Crown is the best proof.

Although Heynckes retired this season, his successor Guardiola is also a world-class head coach with a worldwide reputation;

In addition, Bayern's lineup has also made good additions, and it can even be said that its strength has only increased.

Therefore, in terms of winning odds at the beginning of the season, Bayern Munich also topped the list.

If it were said at that time that Bayern could enter the Champions League finals this season, I believe not many people would raise objections.

And if someone tells you that Hamburg will enter the final, they will definitely roll their eyes: "Haha, what international joke are you making? Hamburg? That team that was almost relegated?"

But today, this "international joke" became a reality, and Hamburg really entered the finals!

Almost all reporters present expressed surprise at this result, and naturally they also resonated with Ancelotti's speech.

"So Mr. Ancelotti, how would you evaluate this final opponent, Hamburg?" an Italian reporter asked.

"Of course, the teams that can enter the finals cannot be ordinary." Ancelotti replied, "It can even be said that the teams that can break out of the group stage are all very strong.

.”

"And Hamburg is a very special team. Their players are very young, and the coach is also very young, but they have performed phenomenally together."

"There is no doubt that they are very good. They did not even lose in the past season. They are not afraid of any team and are full of fighting spirit and desire to win in all games."

"But..." At this point, Ancelotti changed the subject, "In professional football, there is no eternal undefeated team. Even AC Milan, where I was, would fail."

As a player, Ancelotti played for Milan in the era of the "Dutch Three Musketeers" for many years and won a total of 14 championship trophies, including 3 Serie A championships, two Champions League championships, 2 Toyota Cup championships, and 2 European Super League championships.

Cup champion and 1 Italian Super Cup champion.

He was also on the team when Milan created the myth of 58 games unbeaten.

"So, Hamburg's first defeat of the season is likely to happen tomorrow."

"As I just said, we have defeated Dortmund 3:0 and Bayern Munich 4:0. We have the experience of winning against these strong Bundesliga teams."

"And compared with Hamburg, Real Madrid is a club with a more glorious history. We have many stars who can change the game."

"Maybe tomorrow, Ronaldo will be the one to break Hamburg's unbeaten record, who knows?"

"Everyone of us is focusing on this game. We all know the significance of this game and we are all looking forward to the arrival of this game. My players and I are confident enough to defeat Hamburg!"

There was a burst of warm applause.

Although in terms of this season's record, it does seem that Hamburg is more dominant.

Hamburg won the Bundesliga championship with an unbeaten record and the highest points in history, and won the German Cup. It also had a smooth journey in the Champions League;

Although Real Madrid also won the Copa del Rey, they were squeezed to third place in the league by arch-rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they encountered a strong challenge from Dortmund and almost capsized.

However, Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all!

This name represents victory and championship!

32 Spanish Primera Division titles, 19 Copa del Rey titles, and 9 Champions League titles!

There are so many trophies in the honor room that clubs like Hamburg will never be able to match them!

Therefore, Ancelotti has such confidence!

Moreover, aside from Real Madrid's glorious history, Anshuai himself also has his own "DNA" in the Champions League.

In addition to winning two Champions League titles as a player, after coaching, he was still at AC Milan, leading the team to win the first Champions League trophy in his coaching career in 2002-03.

Then came the well-known "Istanbul Night", when he and Milan experienced the pain of losing the 2004-05 final.

But his perseverance and tenacious character once again came into play. Just two years later, in 2006-07, Milan also completed perfect revenge against Liverpool in the Champions League final!

This allowed Ancelotti to lead the team to win the second Champions League, and it was also his fourth personal Champions League trophy.

Winning the Champions League as both a player and a coach is rare in world football!

On this list, there are some famous people:

Trapattoni, Cruyff, Rijkaard, Guardiola...

When Ancelotti's name appears between them, it doesn't seem out of place at all, because he is such a champion!

And now, the combination of Ancelotti + Real Madrid is obviously the most powerful guarantee for winning the Champions League!

…

"I don't have any problems with lineup selection."

After Ancelotti's press conference, it was Pan Yi's turn to hold a pre-match press conference.

Obviously, reporters are focusing on Hamburg's current injuries, especially the ankle injury of midfielder De Bruyne.

But Pan Yi seemed very calm:

"Of course it makes me sad to lose De Bruyne in such an important game in the Champions League final, but it also gives other players in the team a chance to perform."

"We have proven this season that all the players on the team are fully prepared for any game, and they will step forward as soon as the team needs it."

"I can even say that all players from Hamburg's first team are qualified to stand in the center of the Champions League final! It's a pity that due to quota restrictions, only 18 can actually appear in this game."

"But whether they are starting or substituting, or whether they can only appear in the stands, all Hamburg players are of the same mind, and we will work together to win this game!"

However, Pan Yi also mentioned that it is not easy to defeat the current Real Madrid.

"Real Madrid has many world-class stars."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the World Footballer and winner of the Ballon d'Or. He is a true superstar and can change the situation of the game in an instant."

"Bell is very fast, and he also has unparalleled shooting sense in front of the goal. Even his header ability is world-class."

"Modric has an elegant style of play and a lot of physical strength. He controls everything in the midfield. I even dare to say that in another ten years he will still be as good as he is today!"

"And Benzema, he takes the blame... No, his ability to hold the ball with his back is top-notch, and he can provide a lot of help to the two wingers and the midfielder. I believe he will also be a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or in the future... "

"Real Madrid participates in the Champions League every year and they have much more experience than us."

"But we are not afraid. Our greatest weapon comes from our confidence in ourselves!"

"They may cause us some trouble in tomorrow's game, but I believe we can overcome these unfavorable factors, do our best, and defeat our opponents!"

Pan Yi's words were also recognized by many media reporters.

Real Madrid's superstar lineup is indeed almost second to none in today's world football.

It's really not easy to defeat them.

However, when Hamburg faced Dortmund and Bayern Munich before, everyone said the same thing.

Especially Bayern Munich, with their lineup and record, can Hamburg compare to them?

But Hamburg still defeated them and won the German Super Cup, German Cup, and the most important Bundesliga championship.

Therefore, if Pan Yi talks about defeating Real Madrid now, no one will think it is a bragging behavior.

Hamburg's unbeaten record in the past season has convinced countless media reporters that it is possible for Hamburg to win this Champions League final!

"Coach Pan Yi, first of all, I wish you a happy birthday tomorrow." A female reporter stood up, "On this day when you are about to celebrate your 28th birthday, do you have anything to say to the fans in the Dragon Kingdom? "

It's Ma Fanbing.

The two nodded and smiled tacitly.

Pan Yi replied:

"First of all, thank you for your birthday wishes. I am very happy that my birthday is always on the same day as the Champions League final, so that I can often celebrate my birthday with a victory and a Champions League trophy."

"The famous star Shevchenko once said that a Ukrainian can never win the World Cup. The Champions League is my World Cup."

"I think so too. As a native of the Dragon Country, a country with a low level of football, just entering the top 32 of the World Cup is a difficult task, let alone winning the World Cup."

"But I also have dreams. Although I am not a professional player, like all professional players, it has always been my dream to participate in the UEFA Champions League and win the Champions League!"

"There are also Dragon Kingdom players like Wu Lei in the Hamburg team. I believe he also has the same dream. No, it's not just us. In the distant Dragon Kingdom, there are also many Dragon Kingdom fans who have been supporting us and hope that We can win the Champions League!"

"Although this is not the World Cup, it does not represent Dragon Country football. But for a country that has difficulty showing itself on the world football stage, for Dragon Country fans, the Champions League is also their World Cup!"

"Romain Rolland said that there is only one kind of heroism in the world, which is to still love life after recognizing the truth of life. Dragon Country fans are such lovely people."

"I don't know what the outcome of this game tomorrow night will be, but I can guarantee that we will do our best and fight until the last minute and second. As long as the final whistle has not sounded, we will never give up!"

"Because I am not only fighting for the local fans in Hamburg, but also fighting for the fans of the Dragon Country, and fighting for all those who have dreams and are willing to do everything to realize their dreams!"

As soon as Pan Yi finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted at the press conference!

His wonderful speech simply brought the atmosphere of the entire press conference to a climax, and finally it was sublimated!

When a reporter mentioned the issue of Pan Yi's stay after this game, Pan Yi just smiled:
