Manchester United achieved the Premier League defending their title, kicking off their dominance. After a day off in the country, they set off for Porto, Portugal, the host city of this season's Champions League final.

YQ still exists, the team entered Portugal early from the UK, inspected and quarantined, and closed training preparations.

During local training in Porto, Carrick called Ye Yifeng to his side.

He said straight to Ye Yifeng: "Ye, what do you think of this Champions League final?"

Ye Yifeng was thinking.

Ask him what he thinks?

What can he think?

Just do it.

So he said to Carrick: "Boss, if you have any ideas, just say it directly. There is no need to ask me. I know you respect my opinion very much, but you also know me. I prefer simplicity and directness."

Carrick smiled when he heard this, then quickly put away his smile, walked along the sidelines with Ye Yifeng, and said in a deep voice: "We have not won the game twice this season.

I didn't win the first fight, I thought it was because you were not present.

but......"

"But I was there for the second time, Manchester United failed to win the game, and we were not able to create many threatening offensives."

Ye Yifeng intersected.

On the eve of the Champions League final, since the head coach communicated with him, he did not reserve and actively cooperated.

Carrick nodded and said: "Yes, I've analyzed these two games over and over, as well as important games on the road to the Champions League advancement. I'm not optimistic about the upcoming Champions League final.

If you tell me that this is my panic caused by my nervousness and stress, I will trust you.”

Damn it!

Ye Yifeng thought to himself that Coach Ka had to find the scapegoat in advance?!

He quickly said, "Think more about the finals, it's absolutely right."

Carrick also informed Ye Yifeng of his concerns without reservation.

"I'm most afraid of being suppressed in the midfield, and we will fall into a passive move in the whole set."

The figure of the French little black egg appeared in Ye Yifeng's mind.

That world is full of obstacles, and the world is full of waist.

well!

He will have a headache when he sees it.

In fact, since he played for Atletico Madrid against Kanter for the first time, he was almost in a state of mind.

If Atletico Madrid's defense was not solid and he would play whatever he wanted in the frontcourt, he would probably be used as a stepping stone by Kante.

Many years later, Ye Yifeng became stronger.

But Kante didn't stand still.

He recognized Carrick's concerns.

On the technical and tactical level, once Manchester United is surrounded by the midfield led by Kanter, there will be a front and rear fault, and the formation will be cut. If it is adjusted at that time, it will probably take a lot of time, and it may also cause the team to fall into a big headwind in terms of morale, mentality, state, etc.!

When Ye Yifeng saw Carrick's expectant eyes, he vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say.

But I still asked more questions.

"Do you want me?"

"Well, that's right, I hope you can make some sacrifices. I'm going to let you play the front midfielder in the Champions League final!"

This is a strategic arrangement.

Ye Yifeng dared not say that he could definitely suppress Kanter. As long as the pair formed, Chelsea's most core defense player would not play a role.

Then Manchester United will at least not be passive in the midfield, and their overall offensive ability will have room to play.

sacrifice?

Harmful!

It’s all for the team, and Ye Yifeng never had any thought of sacrificing or not.

Besides, the team won, the most glorious one was not Carrick or other Manchester United players, he was the captain, the man standing on the ceiling in the European football world in the Demon Age.

Perhaps because B Fei had a history of being suppressed by Kant, Carrick's concerns were not groundless.

Ye Yifeng said to Carrick easily: "No problem, we are all for the team, not for sacrifice. Everyone wants to win the game. If this is the most confident way, I will do my best to complete your tactical requirements."

Carrick immediately lost his concerns, hugged Ye Yifeng and smiled, "To be honest, I admire you very much. Most people only saw your honor and achievements, but did not find that you are the most valuable, and even the most extraordinary quality."

Ye Yifeng waved his hand and said, "I have heard a lot of hype me in the past few years. There is no need for you to do this, otherwise I will think you have a conspiracy against me."

After saying that, Ye Yifeng went back to train.

Carrick laughed in silence.

He also cooperated with superstars in his career.

I've seen too many great players.

If you want to praise Ye Yifeng's professional qualities, it is actually not uncommon.

Scholes is very low-key, Keane is a tough guy, Ronaldo's persistence in victory, Giggs' long-term practice of yoga has made him famous as an evergreen.

People who are successful in football have similar qualities and are outstanding.

But Ye Yifeng had a little more than them, his understanding of the overall situation and his dedication to the team.

Too many top players can't do this because they are all obsessed with what they are best at, while Ye Yifeng is best at scoring goals, but he can play in the midfield and even take the initiative to play as a goalkeeper.

This is the rarest and most precious one.

When a star can be used in two halves, the star is amazing.

Ye Yifeng seemed to be spreading apart in two halves, moving wherever he needed!

......

The day before the Champions League final, a pre-match press conference.

Chelsea coach Tuchel led the team to the Champions League final for two consecutive years, but failed to win the championship last year.

But he put out the fire and coached Chelsea in the middle of the process, and his current results have completely exceeded expectations.

The league won the Champions League ticket.

The Champions League has reached the final.

When asked about his outlook for the game in an interview, Tuchel praised Manchester United with diplomatic rhetoric, but also said that he was confident in the team and it was not easy for Manchester United to beat Chelsea.

The outside world is just a little curious.

In the past twenty years, there have been many teams in European football that have relied on defense to win the Champions League.

2003 was the peak defensive showdown.

Porto in 2004, Inter Milan in 2004, Chelsea in 2012, Atletico Madrid in 2016, and Atletico Madrid in 2018.

Manchester United can't be counted as 19 years.

Even if it is the team coached by Mourinho.

Chelsea are now no less defensive teams than those who have won the Champions League before.

But those teams with peak defense have good offense.

Porto may be weaker, and both Italian Civil War teams have familiar front stars.

Inter Milito was named a god in three games, Chelsea had the monster Drogba, and Atletico Madrid had Ye Yifeng.

But who is Chelsea now?

Werner, who has been labeled as a parallel product?

Tuchel did not have a positive answer to this question.

In fact, he himself thinks his coaching at Chelsea has just begun.

It took nearly half a season to transform the defense successfully and polish it into shape.

Later, surgery will be required on offensive measures.

But at this time, we have to play a Champions League final.

So he can't force himself, he let him go and avoid putting too much pressure on himself.

When Carrick was interviewed by a reporter, he was asked whether he would be nervous if he would lead a team to the Champions League final for the first time.

This is obviously a question that will only be asked by the rookie coach.

But Carrick didn't mind. It didn't matter at all how the outside world looked at him.

Even at this time, he would rather the outside world despise him even more and look down on him.

Blow this unhealthy trend into Chelsea's camp.

If Chelsea also thinks he is a rookie, he will succeed in him.

That is good or bad for Manchester United.

Manchester United has not beat Chelsea in the league this season, but at least Carrick has beaten Tuchel twice.

Paris Saint-Germain returned home in the group stage, and was double-killed by Manchester United, and there were also tragic events of being massacred at home.

The coach at that time was Tuchel.

The reporter also asked about this.

Carrick shook his head.

How can Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea be put together?

There is no reference value.

Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain was affected by the XG and the remaining array attacked.

Manchester United can say that even if they massacre their opponents, there is nothing to show off.

Except for the body of the Ligue 1 flagship, the opponent is not strong in actual combat except for the forward line.

May 29.

Porto, Dragon Stadium.

Manchester United meets Chelsea in the Champions League final.

This is Ye Yifeng's fourth time participating in the Champions League final. He has been replenishing his strength during the period before the game.

Now it is ready to go.

When standing in the player's channel, the excitement in my heart was just like a small flame.

But it suddenly burned all over my body while lined up!

listen!

What's that sound?

Outside the exit of the player channel, the fans were cheering in unison!

A year later, Ye Yifeng heard the cheers of the fans at the game again!

A strong torrent swept across the body.

This is what football should be like. In the Champions League final, the fans are back!

Although the Champions League final this season limits the number of players, it also brings the atmosphere of the game back to the familiar scenes of all players.

The special effects opening ceremony before the Champions League was even more terrible!

Six pop songs in a row are paired with dreamy special effects, which makes people fascinated.

Technology is becoming more and more developed.

When Ye Yifeng led the team side by side with Chelsea captain Azpilicueta, he felt that every pore in his body was absorbing the breath of passion!

Even if there is no full seat, the scene in the stands of the Dragon Stadium is spectacular!

The Red Devils and the Blue Army's flags are everywhere!

Red and blue ocean compete!

Countless slogans were held high, countless fans shouted and cheered, and they were also very excited!

We are back!

Fight side by side with the team!

Ye Yifeng saw the Red Devils fans and also saw a small group of relatively alternative fans.

They don't wear Manchester United jerseys, nor Chelsea jerseys.

Instead, he was wearing a jersey that only Ye Yifeng could recognize among the players on the scene.

This moment made Ye Yifeng look dazed, as if he was dreaming of returning to the past.

Penafier!

That was the team he debuted and the starting point of his career.

In a blink of an eye, he has never returned to Penafiere, but since he is in the Champions League final at the Porto Dragon Stadium, Penafiere fans, as locals, naturally have to support that magical boy back then!

There was no warmth to welcome home. They were like a group of passers-by, looking down at Ye Yifeng on the field wearing the Red Devils No. 7 battle jersey and captain's armband with an old man's mentality.

The pride on their faces seemed to be silently telling: We are the first people in the world to witness his magic and madness!

Their appearance seemed to remind Ye Yifeng: Don’t forget your original intention!

Porto, where the dream begins!

Champions League final, dream come true!
Chapter completed!
