Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 213 The fiery atmosphere of the finals, the attention of more than [-] million people (please vote for me)

As time progresses day by day, the French European Cup final, the host country France's final against the Belgian team, gradually becomes more and more popular.

People slowly came out of the exciting drama of the semi-finals and began to turn their attention to the final chapter, the European Cup final.

The finals of intercontinental competitions still attract a lot of attention.

Everyone wants to see who will be the final winner and who can take home the dazzling trophy.

Everyone has gone through very tortuous games to get here, and they definitely don’t want to leave empty-handed.

History will not remember the second place, but only the one who won the first prize.

Unless you pop the champagne at midfield, it might be remembered for a longer time.

Therefore, for the players on both sides, whether they want to leave their names in this popular arena or appear as a background board from time to time depends on the final that starts on July 7.

"Suffer? Was he on a certain team at that time? He also played in this game? It's a pity that he lost. The overall strength of this session is not as good as that of a certain team."

This is a comment left to losers in the future. It is what someone will say to some of them when they find out this game a few years later.

"Come on, come on, the classic battle of Fengshen! Let's review it again! That kick has been remembered for many years. This is a classic among classics. I will never tire of it. The birth of a legend!"

These are words reserved for those who succeed, and are words that believers will leave behind when they look back a few years later.

These are two completely different treatments, and if given a choice, everyone would choose the latter.

Time passed like this day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was the night of the 10th.

There is only one day left before the final battle begins.

"The final is about to start at the Stade de France. The French team has the best chance to defend the glory of the host country. Tens of thousands of French fans will flock to the scene to give them the greatest support!" - France Football News
  "Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the evening, the final battle of the European Cup will come. Let us wait and see whether Belgium will win the championship by relying on beautiful offensive football, or whether the Gallic Rooster can hold its head high and win the crown." - The British Guardian.

"Chen Yufeng has broken Platini's record of 9 goals in a single tournament, and raised this number to 10. Let's see if there will be another breakthrough in the final." - Understand the Football Emperor's headlines
  "The Stade de France, with its brilliant lights, is about to usher in the final feast. It is expected that the number of spectators worldwide will exceed 4 million!" - France Soir
  "Chen Yufeng VS Griezmann, Deschamps VS Wilmots, who will have the last laugh?" - German Sports News
  Under the intense publicity of countless media, the peak popularity of this European Cup was refreshed tonight.

Hundreds of millions of people have joined the discussion on this game. They are distributed around the world and express their predictions and opinions in different languages.

"Belgium's strong attack will tear apart the French team's defense. It is predicted that Belgium will score three goals, and the French team will score one goal with Pogba assisting Griezmann!" A fan from Nigeria spoke.

"I don't know how the Belgian team's defense can withstand Griezmann's impact? On the other hand, is the French team ready to welcome the top scorer of this European Cup?" An American fan commented.

"I think both Griezmann and Chen Yufeng will score goals and they will maintain their form, but I don't know who the final champion will be." said a netizen from the UK.

"What does Chen Yufeng compare to Griezmann? Age? He is indeed six years older than Griezmann in this respect." said a netizen from Madrid, Spain.

"Atletico Madrid fans are mixed in, please stop bragging, the data speaks for itself." A Leicester City fan quickly spoke out.

"In terms of performance, Chen Yufeng is good in this competition. In terms of potential, which one of Griezmann and Pogba is not better than him? Especially Pogba, who will be the world's number one midfielder in the next ten years. I take I bet you on my lifespan!" a local French fan said.

"..."

The game hadn't started yet, and there was a quarrel while chatting on the Internet.

This kind of scolding war started with mutual insults at the beginning, but as the scale became larger and larger, and the words became more and more dirty, fans from both sides would go back to harass people.

Many newly registered accounts will log in to platforms such as Instagram, or break into foreign football forums to carry out indiscriminate attacks.

There are fans standing behind every player, and it is normal for there to be verbal exchanges.

Even if they don't have Melo's influence and are not out of the circle, at least the fans who play for the club will support them, right? Will people in your own country support it?

The quarrel continued until late at night, and new reinforcements continued to join the battle.

This is normal. After all, there are jet lags all over the world. People here are sleeping, and people there are getting up and arguing with you again. How can it stop?

Not to mention, there are regular troops who stay up all night fighting.

In this way, the popularity of the game is getting higher and higher, and various countries have begun to organize groups of celebrities to watch the game, preparing to use a combination of celebrities to commentate on the game.

In the UK, there is actually no controversy. Lineker and Gary Neville, including Gerrard, are all guests, ready to explain the game to the fans.

On the French side, Zidane is paired with the well-known host Chouinard to form a lineup.

As for some countries without well-known celebrities, they still use the original commentary configuration.

Everything is being prepared in full swing, and all eyes are turned here, looking forward to the early arrival of the game.

In this atmosphere, the much-anticipated July 7th has finally arrived.    ………

The game is scheduled to start at eight o'clock in the evening, but from the moment it enters to about four o'clock in the afternoon, the streets in France are already filled with football-related elements.

Whether it's Paris, Lyon, Lille, or some other small cities and towns, today all have football-related cover figures on them.

There's Griezmann, Pogba, and even head coach Deschamps.

They are all hung on local landmark buildings, which may be a large park, a large square, or a sign at the entrance of a small village.

In some big cities, you will also find that the local government is tolerant of the Belgian team.

Even the cover picture of Chen Yufeng excitedly celebrating after scoring his tenth goal in the European Cup appeared in several places in Paris today.

All the passing Belgian fans or fans from other countries took photos and checked in, even the local French fans were no exception.

But more French fans still looked at it with a little horror, then shook their heads and walked away, as if they were a little afraid of Chen Yufeng's face.

These are just some very small snippets that only represent some people.

If today's French people were to wear a positioning tracker, you would find that many people walked out of their homes and rushed to one place - Paris from all directions.

In the small town of Saint-Denis next to Paris, the Stade de France will be the venue for today's European Cup final!

Countless side roads that were never congested became clogged with traffic today, with the sound of horns and the yells of road rage drivers echoing across France.

This is because they are anxious, they eagerly want to go where they want to go and watch the final European Cup final!
  On a moving train, Xavi, a member of the Spanish team that won the last European Cup, took the European Cup trophy and took the train to Saint-Denis.

When he arrived at the Stade de France, his train was quickly stopped and many reporters gathered around him, seemingly wanting to get a glimpse of the European Cup trophy.

But the train did not open the windows, keeping the suspense until the end!
  As Harvey's train entered the stadium parking lot, dozens of vehicles carrying the closing ceremony actors also entered the stadium parking lot.

Today is also the end of the European Cup, and the closing ceremony will begin before the game.

At that time, French national treasure DJ David Guetta will perform the closing ceremony together with hundreds of guests from the Paris Opera House and the French National Orchestra.

Outside the Stade de France, which can accommodate [-] people, fans are already heading inside one after another.

Today, the fans of the host French team will be close to [-], while the fans of the Belgian team will be more than [-].

They will witness the final battle between the Gallic Roosters and Belgium's golden generation!
  "The French team! Must win! The French team! Must win!"

"Griezmann! Griezmann! Griezmann!"

"We want to get this European Cup trophy in our hometown, come on France!"

"Pogba, let them know how good you are, come on!"

"Oh... oh oh oh oh..."

The French fans shouted slogans, waved the French tricolor flag crazily, and rushed towards the stadium.

Looking around, there are at least thousands of French tricolor flags above the dense crowd. They are big or small and have different shapes, but they are all dancing in the wind, which is very shocking.

They did not look like French residents, but rather resembled the Young Guards regiment of Emperor Napoleon, walking towards the stadium in unison.

In the countless drone shots outside the stadium, people can clearly capture the excitement and enthusiasm on the faces of every French fan. They are all looking forward to the start of this game.

On the other side, the fans of the Belgian team were certainly not to be outdone.

They all wore red Belgium team jerseys, dyed one side of the entrance channel red, and shouted loud slogans.

"We will be the champions! We are the champions! The kings of the European Cup! Oh oh oh... oh oh!"

"Chen Yufeng will crush your defense, De Bruyne will tear apart your defense, and Lukaku will eat your defenders!"

"Oh oh oh... oh oh! Team Belgium, come on!"

There was nothing more to say today. Many people were not even in the mood to be interviewed outside the venue, and walked eagerly towards the venue, wanting to take a seat as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that the summer of more than a month has come to its last moment.
