At least when the Chelsea bus started heading to the San Siro Stadium, there was no special incident.

They were protected by police cars, and even many Chelsea FC supporters were blocked from the bus and could not get close.

This also allowed Chelsea to reach the San Siro Stadium smoothly!——

When Pan Yi led the team into the home team's locker room at San Siro, there was a very familiar feeling.

After all, he was an assistant coach here for a year!

And Chelsea happens to be the home team today, so they can sit here.

This feeling of familiarity became even stronger when they placed some belongings and began to walk out of the tunnel and into the stadium to prepare for the final adaptation before the game.

At this time, the entire San Siro Stadium suddenly boiled, and the sound waves from the stadium stands were like sea water, sweeping in violently, swallowing everyone up!

This is San Siro, a San Siro that can accommodate 80,000 spectators!

The noise caused here is really greater than that of the Stamford Bridge Library.

However, if on today's court, the blue camp representing Chelsea and the red camp representing Bayern Munich are evenly divided, then the neutral camp also fell to Pan Yi's side.

After all, Pan Yi was once the favorite of local Milan fans!

On the middle stand, slogans written in English, Chinese, and Italian were also displayed: "Pan Yi, no matter where you are, Milanese love you!"

Pan Yi walked out of the tunnel and waved to the stands, while not forgetting to encourage Arteta behind him:

"Mikel, I hope you will have the opportunity to lead your team to such a stage in the future. Then you will find that this is the most wonderful and moving place in the world!"

Arteta did not answer because he was already a little confused.

As a person who was not a superstar in his playing days, Arteta has never set foot on the Champions League final.

Although he joined Arsenal after 2011, which can often participate in the Champions League, everyone knows Arsenal's performance in the Champions League, and they have no chance to reach the finals.

So, first of all, he was a little stunned by the atmosphere of the Champions League final.

Secondly, this is the Champions League final, but Pan Yi's popularity is still overwhelming. Even the fans of the team who were just assistant coaches a few years ago will remember him!

He admired Pan Yi from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, he was more envious and even a little jealous.

For a head coach to be able to do what Pan Yi does, what more can I ask for!

Of course he also hopes that he will have the opportunity in the future to win more honors and gain recognition from fans like Pan Yi!

"Go ahead, you have a chance, maybe next season." Pan Yi patted Arteta on the shoulder.

Arteta nodded and went to do his thing.

He needs to get his players moving as quickly as possible, adapting to the field, their bodies, and the atmosphere!

Pan Yi looked up at the podium again.

There, Valentina was waving to him.

Chelsea boss Abramovich, Bruce Buck and other senior officials, as well as Bayern officials were also sitting there.

Even today, many senior government officials from the UK and Germany came to the scene to witness the emergence of today's champion!

"Are you thinking about the award? That may not necessarily be awarded to you."

Guardiola's joking voice suddenly sounded behind Pan Yi.

Pan Yi turned around, and Guardiola's bald head was particularly dazzling under the lights of San Siro.

"Haha, come and grab it if you can!" Pan Yi said with a smile, "I am the defending champion. And you, do you still remember the last time you won the cup?"

"Today in 2011 is also May 28th." Guardiola told the time very accurately, and then sighed, "Unconsciously, five years have passed."

When Guardiola led Barcelona to an easy 3-1 victory over Manchester United in the final, then-Red Devils coach Sir Alex Ferguson's trembling fingers also showed his helplessness.

It really can’t be kicked!

Although Barcelona did not have the MSN combination at the time, the midfield trio composed of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets, plus the three-pointed knife of Villa, Messi, and Pedro, could really control the ball.

Control until death.

But today, Guardiola will not be so strong.

In other words, the strong side became Chelsea and Pan Yi.

After all, although Bayern Munich's lineup is not bad, it is still not as good as Barcelona at its peak.

"Coincidentally, the year after you finally won the Champions League, I also won the championship in Milan. Then came Hamburg, Chelsea..." Pan Yi joked, "So today, how are you going to steal it from me?

Big ear cup?”

"How else can I grab it? I'll beat you with your tactics!" Guardiola said with a smile.

"Hey, you want to play against me? Then you're dead." Pan Yi shook his head, "There are really not many teams that play against me that can walk out of the stadium alive."

"Maybe." Guardiola suddenly sighed, "But can defense win? And I'm not good at defense either."

Pan Yi nodded slightly.

What Gua Shuai said is correct.

The team under his command has always insisted on attacking, and it can be said that it has never adopted defensive tactics.

Some people may say that this is because Guardiola leads all strong teams, but these people forget that when Guardiola first started coaching, the team he led was Barcelona B.

This team had just been relegated from the Spanish Serie C before Guardiola took charge. It cannot be considered a strong team.

Guardiola led them back to promotion, with a record of 28 wins, 9 draws and 5 losses.

In the play-off games against Castillo and Babastre, Guardiola's team scored 9 goals and conceded 0 goals.

Even in such a relatively weak team, Guardiola still adheres to the philosophy of passing and controlling the offense, which also laid the foundation for him to officially serve as the head coach of the first team in the future.

In other words, in many cases, the style of a head coach leading a team has nothing to do with the strength of the team.

This only has to do with the coach's tactical preferences and personal personality.

Of course, there are coaches like Pan Yi who can flexibly change their "tactical preferences" and attack when they need to, and defend when they need to, but this is definitely not what Guardiola will do.

"However, we are no longer the Bayern of the past two years. Just wait and see today."

Guardiola said, leaving Pan Yi with an unpredictable smile, then turned and left.

Pan Yi curled his lips.

Come on! See you on the court!——

The decisive battle was about to begin, and there was dead silence in the home team's locker room. You could vaguely hear the movement of the fans outside.

All the players have changed their clothes, tied their shoelaces, and are sitting upright.

They looked at head coach Pan Yi, who was standing among the players, waiting for his last mobilization before taking the field.

There are people like Harry Kane and Mbappe who are playing in the Champions League final for the first time, there are also people like Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta who have followed Chelsea to the finals for two consecutive years, and there are people like Kante.

In this way, both AC Milan and Hamburg have reached the finals...

No matter who it is, no matter how many finals they have played, if they say they are not nervous, it is definitely a lie.

But this season, they followed Pan Yi and achieved victory after victory, defeating opponents one after another. They have long established strong self-confidence, which makes them have the ambition to defeat their opponents in every game.

Ambition.

Even, in their eyes, winning is natural.

"The game is about to begin."

Pan Yi finally broke the silence in the locker room and asked everyone to listen attentively.

"Whatever needs to be said and the arrangements that need to be made, I have already told you in the previous pre-match preparation meeting. I believe you all know what to do after walking on the court, so I won't say any more.

.”

After a pause, Pan Yi continued: "As you all know, I participated in three Champions League finals with the team and won all three, one in Milan, one in Hamburg, and one with Chelsea last year."

After all the players heard Pan Yi's words, their confidence increased inexplicably.

This is out of trust in Pan Yi!

It's easier to win when you play under a victorious general!

"What I want to tell you is that the Champions League final is not terrible."

Pan Yi continued:

"You have to remember that your opponents are not just opponents on the court, but also yourself."

"You need to overcome your nervousness, overcome your fear, and even overcome your desire for the championship, and compete as usual."

"The opponents will definitely cause trouble for us. They may rush to attack and take advantage of the opening. They may press the whole court and frustrate our offense..."

"They may try every means to prevent us from controlling the ball, controlling the rhythm, and they may even score the first goal! This is all normal!"

"Don't forget, the teams that can reach the Champions League final are the best teams in European football today. Bayern Munich has always been one of the best teams in Europe, and today is no exception."

"So, my experience tells me that patience is crucial."

"Here, I ask you, no matter what difficulties we encounter on the court, no matter what tactics our opponents use, no matter how tenacious they are, we must always remain patient."
To be continued...
