Chapter 894: Psychological Warfare

Not only has the team's championship bonus increased a lot, but the training training benefits also increased. In their words, everything is mainly about serving the team well.

As early as Manchester United entered this year's Champions League final, the staff of Manchester United club went to Athens, the venue of this final, to contact Manchester United for the pre-match training venue. After a period of negotiation, Manchester United loaned to the Greek Super League Olympiacos.

The club's training ground and rented a beachfront resort in the bay not far from Olympiacos Club as a collapsed land for Manchester United during the Champions League final.

Manchester United's first team has 27 players, plus the coaching staff and employees. In addition, Queiroz also recommended a team of physiologists, who will also follow the team during the entire training camp, mainly focusing on the players' performance during the training period.

A comprehensive assessment controls the players' daily diet and ensures the team's performance on the Champions League final day.

All of this makes Manchester United's team arrive in Athens close to seventy people, which is a huge lineup.

In addition to the club management, the players' families, and some important guests of the club, Manchester United needs to properly arrange food and accommodation for hundreds or even over a thousand people, which is also a big test.

Fortunately, Manchester United has frequently participated in the Champions League finals in recent years, so this kind of action is considered to be experienced. If you change to other teams, it may not be so easy. Not to mention anything else, it is said that Manchester United's encounter in Istanbul two years ago was quite good.

It's miserable. The hotel's small room, bathroom and bed are small, which makes it difficult for several tall players in the team to take a shower and they are not sleeping soundly.

Although it is just a detail, it will also affect the players' game status. Manchester United's misperforming performance in the first half of that final may be related to this.

From now on, everything from Manchester United will start serving the Champions League final!

……………………

In Athens, it was really hot in late May, and the temperature during the day was approaching 30 degrees. After staying in the rainy UK for a long time, Manchester United players were really a little uncomfortable with the scorching sun climate, even Yin Jun was not

exception.

The team arrived in Athens on the evening of the 20th, and the next day, the players were allowed to gather with their families for one day.

Yin Jun also stays with his parents and relatives all day long.

After years of career, Yin Jun knew very well how to relax and adjust his condition before the game.

He was half lying on the soft sofa in the hotel room, listening to the familiar voices from relatives and friends in his ears. Even if he just closed his eyes, he could clearly tell who was talking.

That feeling is very comfortable and relaxing.

Yin Jun's mother and Ye Lanqiu's mother were discussing the two children, from the beginning of marriage to the later ones, to the end of having a few, they had a lot of fun discussing.

After listening to their words, Yin Jun couldn't help but start thinking about the future of himself and Ye Lanqiu. Unlike three years ago, he is already 22 years old, and Ye Lanqiu is almost 28, so it's not considered a marriage.

It's early.

Of course, three years ago, Kisty revealed her willingness to marry him, but Yin Jun refused. This was not only because he was too young at that time, but also because of the differences in culture and customs between the two.

Direct relationship.

Yin Jun is a very traditional Chinese man. He is not like Professor Chen. He thinks that marrying a foreign girl is so great.

That night, Yin Jun invited everyone to have a great meal in the hotel, and he wanted to control his diet properly, so he only attended but did not participate.

Afterwards, Yin Jun and Ye Lanqiu were alone for a while and returned to the room on time at the team's prescribed time.

……………………

On the Champions League final day, Manchester United stayed at the resort.

Ferguson woke up early in the morning, walked out of the room, and walked in the garden outside the hotel. The one who accompanied him out was assistant coach Queros, who was Ferguson's right-hand man and had a very powerful role.

The two slowly walked in the garden, discussing the upcoming finals from time to time. This is their own unique way to relieve stress.

"I don't understand very much, why did you promote Crouch last night?" Queros asked in confusion.

What the Portuguese said was that last night, after the team was overheated at the Olympic Stadium, Ferguson and Benitez went to attend the pre-match press conference of UEFA. The Manchester United head coach mentioned Liverpool's most threatening player.

It is believed to be Crouch.

In this regard, Ferguson said that Crouch's biggest threat lies not in scoring goals, but in his tactical role.

"I tell our players that if Manchester United doesn't want to repeat AC Milan's failure in Istanbul two years ago, then we must keep an eye on Crouch, he is a key link in Liverpool's offense, and aerial ball is his biggest advantage, as long as the ball is the ball

When he reaches the penalty area, he can create a threat."

……………………

This morning, major media also gave different understandings about Ferguson's statement.

Some people think that he said this on purpose and wanted to stimulate Liverpool. This is a psychological warfare, but some people think that he is really worried about Crouch, because the tactical role of England's tall guys is really very strong, especially when he is in the penalty area.

When inside.

Interestingly, McLaren, who is far away in the UK, also mentioned Crouch.

The head coach of the England national team, who has recently been in a crisis of trust, resolutely voted for Manchester United in an interview with the media. This is not just because he was once an assistant coach of Manchester United, but because he is really optimistic about Manchester United.

He believes that although the outcome of the final is unpredictable, judging from the results of the two sides in the past few seasons, Manchester United undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. Especially since Yin Jun joined Manchester United, Manchester United and Liverpool have 13 matches in five seasons.

Time, Manchester United won all of them, including a 7-0 win over Liverpool in the 2002-2003 season.

Yin Jun is even more a victim of Liverpool. In these 13 games, Yin Jun scored 16 goals and assisted 6 times, making him the recorder of the Double Red Club history, and far surpassed the second-place Manchester United legend George Wall's 9

ball.

McLaren believes that Liverpool's core Gerald is a world-class midfielder, but Yin Jun is the one who is better than Gerald. He is a Kryptonian and a superman who can change the game alone.

.

McLaren also reminded Ferguson to pay attention to Crouch.

"Liverpool's defense is excellent, the counterattack is extremely fast, the midfield relies on Gerald's excellent coordination and Alonso's push. The most threatening frontcourt is Crouch, this giant who is more than 2 meters tall,

He is a seriously underrated center."
