What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 67 Before the European Super Cup

"Actually, Real Madrid's starting lineup is not too easy to guess. The goalkeeper must be Navas. The defense is also very fixed. The left back Marcelo will definitely play him if he is not injured. The central defender is Ramos Gavala. Inside. The right back is Carvajal. The three midfielders are Casemiro's single midfielder, Kroos on the left, and Modric on the right. If there are three forwards, Benzema and Bell start, then the left position may be Assen Theo may also be played by Vazquez or Isco. In fact, it is easy to guess, after all, their 18-man roster is too obvious, so this is a clear game for them. For them, do you think Zidane knows some of our players? Maybe he doesn't know at all!"

Ten Hag said this naturally to stimulate the players' desire to fight, and to say something ironic.

In fact, as a professional coach, how could it be possible not to fully understand the opponent before this kind of single-match final.

Especially now is the network era with a clear division of labor.

Zidane doesn't need to watch Ajax's games with his own eyes. The general coaching staff will have the position of video analyst.

This job is mainly responsible for a video analysis of the team's next opponent in all recent games, analyzing their goals, analyzing their conceded goals, analyzing their starting and substituting, and the timing of substitutions. In short, everything will be analyzed , the purpose of doing this is to help the head coach.

And just the day before the match, Zidane did not hold a meeting for the players on Real Madrid's side, because it was not necessary, these players were all seasoned, and it would not be possible to hold a mobilization meeting before the European Super Cup .

But Zidane and his coaching staff must have a meeting.

Zidane sat at one end of the conference table, while at the other end, Real Madrid's video analyst Andy controlled the computer, and the computer was connected to the projection screen.

"Boss, you see, this is a formation change for Ajax in the five regular games of Ajax's pre-season. In the first game they used 433, but in the second half of the game, they changed to The 4231 of the double defensive midfielder was 4, and it was the same in the next 5 games. Through the [-] games of the preseason, I made a heat map and offensive data map. According to the analysis, the most threatening offensive player of Ajax is Henry. Trall, followed by Neres."

"What about the Chinese? I watched the highlights, and he also scored a lot of goals."

"This young player is called Lin Kedi, he is only 16 years old, he performed well in the preseason, but this game is the European Super Cup after all, I don't think he will appear in the starting lineup—"

"You think? If you watch the videos of their games, you should know that he is the most offensive player in Ajax in these games. Even if he may not start, then he will not start. Will he come off the bench? Isn’t the threat just as great? And I watched the Europa League final last season. He is a player who has completed a hat-trick in the Europa League final. Such a player must be a player with a big heart. Be sure to pay more attention.”

"Understood, boss, I will make adjustments."

"Okay, next, let's agree on tomorrow's starting arrangement. There is no need to discuss other positions. We can all send the strongest starters, mainly the left winger position of the three strikers. Asensio, Vazquez and Iraq Scoo, these three players can play, but whoever will play represents two different styles, how is the training status of these three managers?"

After Zidane finished speaking, he looked at the assistant coach.

Like Ten Hag, Zidane also handed over the team's training work to the assistant coach.In fact, many head coaches are doing this now, after all, there are specialties in the art industry.

"In terms of the training status of the recent week, Isco's training status is the best, followed by Vazquez, and Asensio is mainly doing recovery training this week."

"That's it, then go to Isco."

Zidane ended the topic right away.Immediately afterwards, the coaching staff meeting ended.

2017年8月9日，北马其顿当地时间晚18点30分。

The UEFA Super Cup is about to start.

Zidane already knew Ajax's starting lineup at this time.

"Really let the child start? This old man is really courageous."

Zidane noticed that the opponent's head coach was also bald, and he couldn't help but feel a little good.

But he is not very familiar with the opposing coach.

Walking out of the player channel and before reaching the coach's command area, Ten Hag took the initiative to find Zidane.

The two were greeted.

There is nothing to say about Zidane's handling of people.

"By the way, how should you pronounce your name? Ten Hag or Ten Hag. I read the news in the Netherlands. It seems that you are called Ten Hag there, but the media in Spain call you Ten Hag?"

Ten Hag was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zidane, the famous coach who was clearly his junior in the field of coaching but whose achievements far surpassed him, would ask himself about such a small matter.

Of course, many people don't think the name is a small problem.

"It's Ten Hag in English, but my family has called me Ten Hag since I was a child. The last one is pronounced he, so you can call me whatever you want. I'm more used to being called Ten Hag."

"Well, Mr. Ten Hag, let's enjoy today's game."

After speaking, the two shook hands and patted their backs, then separated and returned to their respective command areas.

Ten Hag, who returned to the command area, talked to himself.

"I'm not here to enjoy the game. I'm here to fight for the championship!"

The voice is very small, muttering to himself, only Ten Hag can hear it, and this is what Ten Hag said to himself.
-
"Link is on the big list!"

"What's so surprising about Link's entry into the squad? You didn't watch the preseason. You scored 3 goals or 4 goals. The next three games are the main players. If you don't make the squad for this UEFA Super Cup It's funny."

"Hey, Lin Kedi is starting!"

"Really? Is Lin Kedi starting? The bald guy is really kind. He dares to let Lin Kedi start. Niu 13 is good."

That was a reaction from most fans on Chinese social media platforms.

Because Lin Kedi entered the list after the starting list was released, and Lin Kedi's name became a hot search on the Chinese Internet.

And the fans of Lin Kedi are afraid that some fans who don't understand the game will scold him when they see that Lin Kedi didn't start or didn't play in the game, so they started to make preparations in advance.

This is explosion-proof in the fan circle. (It may not be right, it is also a word I heard before)

Therefore, Lin Kedi's fans and fans posted a large number of posts on social media and forums with good intentions.

"Lin Kedi is only 16 years old, the UEFA Super Cup is so important, it's normal not to start."

"The preseason is used to test tactics, so it's normal for Link not to play in the official game."

These two arguments emerged.

But it is obvious that these fans of Lin Kedi are not as courageous as Ten Hag.

None of them dared to imagine.
