Chapter 444: Li Chuanqi: We are here for the championship!
The final will be played at the Stadium of Light, home of the famous Portuguese team Benfica.
This is a European five-star stadium with more than 60,000 players.
This stadium hosted the 2004 European Cup final, in which the Greek team had the last laugh.
This year this stadium welcomes fans from all over the world, where the Madrid duo will compete for the highest professional honor in Europe - the St. Petersburg Cup!
This trophy is called the "Big Ears Cup" by fans.
On May 17, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid faced Lisbon, Portugal.
Ronaldo said in an interview at the airport: "We are ready!
We have longed for this day!
The team now has only one goal - to win the tenth Champions League trophy in the club's history!"
When talking about Li Chuanqi, the Portuguese superstar said: "He is not a problem, we can solve it!"
The Portuguese superstar is the most popular among Real Madrid players, and Lisbon is also the place where his career started. Returning here, Ronaldo said: "This place left me with many happy times and my boyhood. This time I returned to
I feel very happy here!"
In 1998, the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon was also impressed by Ronaldo's talent. They introduced the 13-year-old Ronaldo at a low price of 1,500 pounds.
Perhaps Sporting Lisbon did not expect that five years later, Cristiano Ronaldo's worth would have increased nearly 10,000 times. In the first few months after joining Sporting Lisbon's youth team, Cristiano Ronaldo's Madeira rural accent became the laughing stock of his peers in the capital.
With a strong self-esteem, he once felt inferior and had conflicts more than once with his teammates who imitated his speech.
Because he grew too fast, Ronaldo was almost kicked out of the team because the coach thought he was too clumsy.
At Sporting Lisbon's Akchit training camp, Cristiano Ronaldo received five years of rigorous and scientific training. His unremitting efforts made Cristiano Ronaldo gradually become a leader among his peers.
At the age of 15, Ronaldo almost said goodbye to his playing career early due to a heart problem. With the help of Ronaldo's mother and Sporting Lisbon Football Club staff, Ronaldo successfully completed the operation and reappeared at the training ground a few days later.
superior.
At the age of 16, Ronaldo was spotted by the then Liverpool coach Gerard Houllier, but Liverpool Football Club ultimately did not buy him. At that time, they believed that Ronaldo's skills still needed to be honed.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player in the history of Sporting Lisbon to enter the club's U16, U17, U18, second team and first team at the same time in the same season, becoming the only player in the club's history to participate in five different levels of competition in one season.
In 2001, Ronaldo entered the first team of Sporting Lisbon.
In September 2002, Ronaldo scored two goals in his Portuguese Super League debut, and 3 goals and 6 assists in 25 games in a season were good enough for a 17-year-old child.
Returning to Lisbon and the Stadium of Light this time, the Portuguese superstar feels as if he has returned to his hometown.
Bell said: "I know many people are comparing me and Li. We are two players with different styles. I don't think there is any comparison between us. I will prove my worth in the finals, that's for sure!"
Ramos said: "In fact, except for Li, Atletico Madrid's other players' attacks are average, so as long as we contain Li, we can win the final victory!"... Ancelotti said cautiously: "This will be a game.
A very difficult match, there are no secrets between us!
The final result of this game may depend on a certain detail, so what we have to do is to do everything well.
We are eager to win, but the other side is even more eager than we are.
Both me and the club have won the Champions League, but the other side has never won it.
Therefore, they are more eager to win.
But we will not agree to them easily, my team members are ready!"
An hour later, Simeone and his team appeared at Lisbon Airport, and reporters swarmed in.
Simeone said: "They did say it right. I have no experience of leading a team to the Champions League final, but what does it matter? Everyone has a first time, and I think this will be my first time!
We've done well in the league this season and we know how to deal with them."
Li Chuanqi's words were simpler and more direct: "We are here for the championship!"
Costa said: "They are all studying how to contain Li, which is correct, but they will eventually find that their research is not worth mentioning.
Even if they really contain Li, they can't be happy because there are still us beside Li!
Li is not fighting alone, we always stand by his side and share the pressure for him.
All of us know that in order to win the championship, everyone on the team needs to give their best, and each of us is ready to give everything for this team!"
Costa is breaking down the pressure on Li Chuanqi.
As a superstar, Li Chuanqi has become the focus of the media and fans, so naturally he is under a lot of pressure.
Courtois, who had a superb performance in the last game, was one of the focuses of media interviews, because many media believed that the final was actually a defensive competition.
As the team's last gate, the performance of the goalkeeper can even determine the final result.
"I am actively adjusting my condition and hope to give everyone a great game!"
Courtois said: "This is a tough game and we are ready to face all difficulties! Like my teammates, I am eager to win the championship.
We have played many important and difficult games this season and accumulated a lot of experience. I believe in our team."
Godin said: "For us, this will be an experience we have never had before.
Everyone at Atletico Madrid is not afraid of challenges and difficulties, otherwise we would not be able to win the La Liga championship.
We have long been mentally prepared for the difficulty of the final.
We will overcome all difficulties with determination to win!"
Turan said: "I am very sad that I cannot participate in such an important game. I will cheer for them in the stands because we are a team!"
Turan was suspended for one game due to accumulation of red and yellow cards and was unable to appear in the final and contribute to the team.
"Whether it's on the court, on the bench, or in the stands, we are all a team, and each of us will help the team in different ways. I believe that we will win in the end because I have full confidence in my teammates!"
Finally, he yelled at reporters: "They can't contain Li!"
After yelling, Turan's eyes became moist. No one wanted to miss such an important game.
After Atletico Madrid left, a reporter from France 2 said to the camera: "Both players are very eager to win the championship. This is the most fascinating part of sports.".
