Compared with Mourinho, the professor always follows a relaxed and pleasant training method and tries to relax the players.

Arsenal players' mentality has recovered very quickly. Perhaps because they already have two championships, it is not necessarily so uncomfortable to lose one. After all, the FA Cup cannot be compared with the league championship.

On the training ground, everyone was very enthusiastic about preparing for the battle, but there were some minor surprises.

"Liu, are you... nervous?" During training, Debush suddenly stopped and asked this question.

A guy who is twenty-nine years old is actually talking about the issue of nervousness with himself? Didn’t he say that he played more football than he had eaten? “You will be nervous too?”

"Yes... When I think of the Champions League final, my heart pounds and I can't calm down, and then I feel like my legs are weak..." Debusch told the truth and told Liu Hao his thoughts.

There is no way. Although he is so old, he has not participated in any major finals in recent years. Now facing such a big event, it would be strange if he is not nervous. Players like Ozil who have experienced the World Cup finals may not feel this way.

"You have pre-match syndrome and need to be treated, but I have no choice, because my feelings... are almost the same." Liu Hao rolled his eyes and expressed his depression. It was said that he was in his thirties, but he still couldn't calm down to face the future finals. It was indeed embarrassing to say it.

"You feel the same way?" Debuch looked at Liu Hao in surprise, with a hint of joy on his face. He thought to himself that it was not only because he had such thoughts, but also because he was sympathetic.

This is how people are. If only they encounter problems but others do not, they will feel confused. However, once other people have the same problems as him, they will feel a sense of balance in their hearts. Obviously, Debuch is like this now.

The problems they encountered were of course not small problems! The players couldn't play football even when they came to the stadium because they were nervous and fell to the ground with their feet. How could they play the game...

"Well, yes, I understand." Liu Hao volunteered and reported their mental state to the professor. The professor kept nodding, thinking privately about how to deal with this matter. It is normal for players to be nervous before the game, and the key is how to relax them.

Nervous, fear, lack of confidence, and worry about gains and losses are often manifested by players in the finals. If they don’t have a big heart, they will naturally not be in a state of playing football. Now, there are quite a few problems facing the professor.

Before the game started, he felt that his players were much weaker.

He still clearly remembers the scene when he was reversed by Barcelona while leading 1:0 in the 2006 Champions League final. When he thought of that scene, his heart was still bleeding.

That can no longer happen, absolutely not...

If he wins the second place in the Champions League again, it will be even more uncomfortable than death. He would rather die than accept such a result.

You have to find some confidence for the players. Whether it is offense or defense...

He thought so, but just psychological counseling seems to be not enough. He just talks, but how can he not take action?

But at this time, I can't find a team to warm up. Could it be that I will pull the youth team out and abuse it? However, even the youth team is on holiday. There are not many people staying in the team...

The professor was worried.

At this time, it is best to find a team to play with Arsenal and find a team that is more confident, even if it is a team that is too good to eat.

Confidence is something that no matter what the opponent is, as long as you play a big score, your confidence will increase.

It’s just a matter of blame at this time, there will be no complete team playing against Arsenal.

"Oh... Steve, look at the other end of Germany, can you find a team to warm up?" The professor finally asked for help from assistant coach Boulder.

It would be great if I could have a warm-up match when I arrived in Germany two days in advance.

"This..." Boulder was obviously in a difficult situation. At this time, where did you ask him to find a team? The German league ended earlier. Now the players are hugging the beauty in the resort and enjoying the sunshine. Who is still waiting for Arsenal to arrive in the training ground in depressed manner? Such a task can obviously not be completed, so his face is quite embarrassing.

However, Liu Hao, who had not left, had his eyes shining, thinking that this was the best opportunity given by God... Who said there was no team? Isn't the Chinese team just in front of him?

If this game can be facilitated by the Chinese team, it would be a dream...

At that time, Liu Hao's idea was actually very simple. First, to find a warm-up opponent for Arsenal, and second, to find a strong opponent for the Chinese team. This is the best of both worlds and is of great benefit to both sides. Arsenal can find form, and the Chinese team can also learn and improve when facing strong opponents.

"Arthur, look... how is the Chinese team?" Liu Hao made a suggestion with a smile.

"Chinese team?" The professor was immediately happy and did not hide his excitement. "Yes, why did I forget the Chinese team! Isn't this a ready-made opponent? Oh my God, have I been confused lately? How did I forget Perrin's team? Liu, your proposal is very good, very good, quite good. I'll call Perrin now, maybe it will be a success!"

The professor took out his cell phone and called Perrin.

It seems that this is almost done.

However, after a while, the professor's face changed, and he was obviously not very happy.

"Why don't you kick?" the professor asked anxiously on the phone.

I don’t know what Perrin said to the professor on the phone. Anyway, the professor’s brows became tighter and tighter, not as if he could resonate with him. Logically speaking, wasn’t it just a friendly match? Why didn’t Perrin agree?

"Oh, just help me... Isn't the Chinese team just needed a strong game to test their strength? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Old guy, you can't stand by death, just help me and play in Berlin. At worst, our club will provide you with a performance fee?" The professor actually begged on the phone!

This opened Liu Hao's eyes wide open. Nowadays, he has to ask for games with the Chinese team. The Suns have come out to play in the west. Why did Perrin refuse the professor's application? It shouldn't be possible... He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't interrupt. After all, this is not something within his range.

"Old guy, if you say that, I'm really angry. Have you forgotten that you still have twenty-three young people training here? Don't you think about them?" In the end, the professor was really angry. He directly brought out the matter of the Chinese youth team and threatened Perrin. You can imagine how firm Perrin's attitude of rejection was.

When Liu Hao heard this, he was shocked. How could the youth team be joined by the national team? The professor is really a childish temper.

But unexpectedly, the professor received a reply that he was still no.

Finally, the professor hung up the phone angrily.

"Damn old man! Stubborn old man! His brain was kicked by a donkey!" With a wave of his hand, his phone flew directly to the corner of the wall and almost broke.

"Arthur...why...the head coach didn't agree?" Liu Hao asked weakly, wanting to know what was going on.

"Well, that old man said that he was afraid that the Chinese team would lose too badly and had no confidence in participating in the Asian Cup. So he refused to agree to me. He was really crazy. Isn't it just a friendly match? Did he really think he was playing in the Asian Cup? If even Arsenal dared to play, what game could they win? What mentality is this?" The professor became more and more angry. Then he grabbed the water cup on the table and drank, and continued to roar: "I have threatened the youth team, but he was still indifferent! Guess what he said?"

"What did you say?" Steve asked carefully beside him.

"It has nothing to do with him. When the youth team can use it, he may have been out of class... He couldn't imagine such a distant future. He has known this guy for decades, and for the first time he knew this guy was so realistic!" The professor said angrily. Then he looked up at Liu Hao, and then realized that he was saying something wrong. "This, Liu. He is actually not wrong. For the benefit of the team, he can do this... Maybe he will be out of class after the Asian Cup? But few people have a life as good as mine..."

Of course, the professor is explaining why Perrin is so realistic. If it were the professor himself, he might also consider the player's confidence issue.

Of course, Liu Hao also understood.

He is also a Chinese and a member of the Chinese team. If the Chinese team is tortured by Arsenal to more than ten to zero, then he will really lose confidence in the Asian Cup and may not know how to play football. This is completely possible.

So at this moment, Liu Hao was glad that Perlan did not agree to the professor's request.

However, his gratitude lasted for less than half a minute, and the phone in the corner rang again.

The professor grabbed it in his hand and saw it, and was very happy!

"The old guy is here to fight? Is there a chance?"

"Okay, thank you very much for your generosity. I will apply for the club's funding for the friendly match. Thank you very much! Okay, let's do it. We will meet in Berlin on the 24th. At that time, you will send all the main players out and we will play a friendly match! Thank you, old man! Haha!" The professor hung up the phone happily and laughed.

"Perran agreed, thank God!"

"Agree?" This time it was Liu Hao's turn to be surprised, "Why did he agree again?"

"The old guy might have suddenly gotten up? Just as I said just now, if you don't dare to fight the strongest team, the team will never make any progress. Maybe he understands this? No matter what, we can prepare for that game..."

"This..." Liu Hao shook his head in his heart, thinking that he was all blamed for his humble words. Although the professor made a lot of sense, the people of the national team may not necessarily think so. There are also Chinese fans in China. If they see the Chinese team defeated, they will definitely put more pressure on the Chinese team. It is really hard to play football in the Chinese national team!

However, Liu Hao cannot change this fact. The fact that the Chinese team and Arsenal have already been on the agenda and will not change at all.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Arsenal's first team gathered and flew again to the Champions League final location, Berlin, Germany, on the team's owner's plane.

Although the two teams in the final are from England, the football atmosphere in Germany is still very strong. In this place of Berlin, the most famous team is Bayern Munich.

Local fans may think that Bayern Munich should eventually appear in the finals. After all, Bayern Munich's odds this season are the same as Real Madrid, ranking first. But now the finals are two English teams at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, one of which eliminates Bayern Munich's Arsenal...

Not only that, they also eliminated their mortal enemy Dortmund before!

In the face of national foreign wars, domestic conflicts can be put aside for the time being, so the Arsenal people were surprised to find that there were quite a few Germans supporting Chelsea!

Damn Arsenal is back, who can bear it!

"Did they selectively ignore Podolski and Ozil? They are not from the German national team? No matter what, Chelsea is only one German, Xuerle!" Liu Hao rolled his eyes and turned around and asked loudly, "Mesut. Have you offended German fans? Why are they all supporting Chelsea one-sidedly?"

"Then I have to ask you! You don't think about what you did in the semi-finals..." Ozil looked contemptuous. It was clearly that Liu Hao did a lot of things in Germany that made the Germans very angry.

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Hao looked innocent, "I did nothing wrong..."

"Ahem, you seem to have done nothing wrong, but I think it's better for us not to go out these two days, as it's too dangerous to go out..."

How could Liu Hao do nothing wrong? He eliminated the two most powerful teams in Germany in succession. Liu Hao is the biggest contributor. In the eyes of German fans, he is the biggest enemy. How could the Germans have a good impression of Liu Hao? He wished he could forbid this guy from entering Germany...

"Okay, I will definitely follow your arrangements. I won't be walking outside. Anyway, I will follow you if I have something to do or not. You will be responsible for all responsibilities. You will be responsible for all safety..."

Arsenal is not popular. As soon as the team's bus arrived at the hotel, a group of German fans surrounded the bus outside. It seems that they have not come out of the shadow of the team's defeat. They are still unhappy. Arsenal eliminated Bayern Munich.

All kinds of insults and curses are everywhere in the hands of fans, hoping that Arsenal will be buried at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

"Liu. There are fans who support you, look. There are many Chinese fans over there!" Ozil was surprised to find a flaming red ahead, which was indeed a passionate Chinese fans.

"That's it. Wherever we go..." When he said this, Liu Hao was actually unsure. His last encounter with Bergkamp at Dortmund was still vivid in his mind. Although he was better in Berlin, he still felt quite uneasy.

That night, he didn't dare to actually run out of the hotel.

※※※※

News of Arsenal and the Chinese team warm-up spread wildly. Although it was not a formal warm-up match, it still attracted fans from blockbusters to watch the game.

The rules of the game are also different from before. According to the agreement between the professor and Perrin, the team only plays for 45 minutes, one is to prevent players from getting tired, the other is to avoid injuries, and the third is to consider Perrin's feelings and try to avoid larger scores.

Unexpectedly, the professor did not put Liu Hao in the starting lineup, but instead arranged the strongest team besides Liu Hao.

All Arsenal main players have made their debut, except for the injured captain Vermullen.

Of course, the injured first-team players also came. Vermullen and Chamberlain followed the team to the scene. In order to witness the birth of the first European Champions League in the club's history, the professor brought everyone to Berlin.

Liu Hao finally sat on the bench and watched his teammates perform.

Of course, the result is quite tragic.

The biggest devastating defeat in the history of the Chinese national team was born, and it was only halftime...

Liu Hao's butt just sat in the hot spot, and the first ball arrived.
