Anything is possible
At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on June 2, the Champions League final will be held at Wembley Stadium. This final will also be the last match of my player Royce's career. He will leave Dortmund Football Club at the end of this season.
Recently, Royce gave an official interview to the club, revealing his views on the final and his most memorable moments of the game.
Q: What is your favorite moment in the Champions League this season? Royce: "One of my favorite moments is the second round of the semi-final against Paris. After entering the quarter final or semi-final, it becomes our goal to reach the final. When we enter the final, our pressure will be much less. Although Dortmund does not bear the huge pressure like Paris or other clubs, he has been holding the ambitious goal of entering the final for many years. ” "But this is our return to the Champions League final in 1997 and 2013, so this is a very special game for us, for the club, and even for the region. It is an indescribable feeling to see Dortmund's name in the final, because this is the most important game for the football club, and everyone is looking forward to it“
Q: Do you remember the moment after the final whistle of the semi-final second leg away to Paris? Royce: "Only when we recall and review the video of the game afterwards can we realize all this, think of everyone's happy faces, and the warm mood and atmosphere in the locker room. We have that feeling: we have entered the final! This is a wonderful thing. Few people believe that we will enter the final. After we eliminated Eindhoven, we began to believe this. The road to the final is short, but it is difficult. We have not experienced many games. There were many wonderful moments from the final whistle in Paris to the early morning. "
Q: Wembley, do you have any opinion on returning to the sad place of the past? Royce: "It's been 11 years. Now it's another opponent and another teammate. It's not bad to start with the final of the Wembley Champions League in 2013 and end with the final of the Wembley Champions League in 2024. Now the biggest goal is to win the game. People can't imagine what will happen to Dortmund tomorrow."
Q: What do you think of Real Madrid? Royce: "Real Madrid has reached the final five times in the past ten years, so we can imagine how strong our opponents are. We can also imagine that Real Madrid players are used to this situation and may have been less excited, but it does not decide who wins the game in the end. Real Madrid have a lot of players with strong personal ability. They play calmly, and they can also close at a high position and run in a large area. " "The result of the game depends on the right time and place. We need a proper time and some luck. If we get the chance, we must score goals. In the end, this is a game. Everything is possible in the game. We must believe and will believe that. In the final, we will get incredible support. We must make good use of the energy shown by the fans in this city and this stadium, and then everything is possible, which we firmly believe. "
Q: The last match you played for Dortmund was the Champions League final. What does that mean to you? Royce: "Great! There is nothing better than playing in the final of the Champions League and winning."
