Chapter 151 The decisive battle at the Bernabeu!Maracana-style victory [a big chapter with [-] words, please beg to subscribe]

On the way out of Old Trafford and back to the hotel, Yang Hao had been thinking about Ferguson's proposal just now.

Of course, he is not tempted and wants to go to Manchester United for two or three years and then take over from Ferguson.

This bad old man is very bad, and it is obvious that he is cheating.

NND, he made a fuss about retiring once around 02. He said he would retire after winning the Champions League once. What was the result?
After winning the Champions League, did he retire?
Three years after another, three years after another, three years after another, Chun Chun became the master of deception.

He was thinking about the phenomenon Ferguson was facing now.

After traveling back in time from 2023, Yang Hao has a strong feeling about current football techniques and tactics, but they are rough and not refined enough.

Whether it is the detailed division of technical and tactical labor or the analysis of team data, these are still very primitive.

This involves the talent issue of a team.

Yang Hao still clearly remembers that when Barcelona won the Dream Team in 09, Guardiola had more than 30 people in the first-team coaching team, and they were responsible for different positions.

Note, these are coaches, not staff.

After winning the Triple Crown, Barcelona was elected president. After Rosell came to power, he believed that such a coaching team was too bloated, so he abolished it and streamlined it repeatedly, but there were still about 20 people.

Why does Ferguson have to find himself an assistant coach who can act alone?
The reason is actually very simple. There are more and more things happening.

In the past, when hiring a head coach, the head coach usually brought two or three coaches and that was it.

At that time, everything in the team was decided by the head coach, and he often made decisions based on his own experience and abilities.

But it's too hard.

There are more and more things going on, especially more and more games. Naturally, there are more players, and management, training, tactical arrangements, etc. are becoming more and more sophisticated.

Around 2023, Yang Hao often went to see some teams. Well, what he saw most was Real Madrid’s daily training. A single training often required five or six coaches, some standing aside to record, and some Some are responsible for helping players train, while others are responsible for communicating with players after training...

As the division of labor becomes more and more detailed, there will naturally be more and more things done.

Ferguson still follows the patriarchal coaching model of the past, and the burden on him is naturally getting heavier and heavier.

It has even begun to be overwhelmed.

If Yang Hao remembers correctly, Ferguson should have hired Carlos Queiroz around 02.

This Portuguese is amazing. The godfather of Manchester United was full of praise for him in his autobiography. He believed that he was not only responsible for training and targeted tactical arrangements, but also helped Manchester United complete technical and tactical reforms, and even participated in team transfers. .

To use Ferguson's words just now, if he retires, it will be a matter of course for Queiroz to take over.

Of course, the tenacious and stubborn old Jazz got through one assistant coach after another, and finally Moyes came.

In Yang Hao's previous life, he was not surprised at all that Moyes was unable to control Manchester United.

Because at that time, Everton and Manchester United were not on the same scale at all.

The scale here is not only the strength and cards of the players, but more importantly, Manchester United's entire logistics team. That kind of scale is impossible for Everton to have.

As for why Van Gaal, Mourinho and others can't play, that's another matter. I'll talk about it later when I have time.

Yang Hao felt the future development trend of football from Ferguson's words.

Looking back at Atletico Madrid now, there are actually more than a dozen people in the first-team coaching staff, and they have begun to be divided into different levels.

Although everyone knows each other, not everyone is directly responsible for Yang Hao.

It is conceivable that as the number of personnel increases, the division of labor will be further deepened in the future.

As Atletico Madrid's performance continues to improve, the intensity of poaching Atletico Madrid will become increasingly intense, and the cost of retaining players will naturally increase.

This is why Yang Hao has been urging Cerezo and Xiao Hill to seize the time to make money.

The number of players and coaching staff in the first team will continue to increase in the next few years, and the salary packages will continue to increase, and the team's salary pressure will also increase.

If the team's income cannot keep up at this time, there are only two ways to go.

Either they sell people and the team's strength is greatly reduced, returning to the path taken by teams such as Valencia, Deportivo and Sevilla in the previous life. The best thing is to be like Atletico Madrid and rest assured in Real Madrid and After Barcelona, ​​become the third pole in La Liga.

Occasionally, a group of players formed a group, performed well, won a league championship or something, and were outstanding.

Either it is a high-debt operation, but Atletico Madrid is not a membership system, and without the background of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​this road will not last long, so in the end, we still have to find a good seller, a sugar daddy.

The bottom line is: money!

At this stage, Atletico Madrid is not strong enough to fully compete with a giant team like Real Madrid.

Yang Hao has been feeling this more and more recently.

Because when Atletico Madrid was focusing on playing Manchester United in the Champions League, when Real Madrid fell back several times in the league, Atletico Madrid failed to seize the opportunity and rushed over in one go.

Including De La Morena of Radio Ser said that Atletico Madrid is still short of breath and its hard power is not enough.

Yes, that's it.

But where did this tone come from?

Atletico Madrid's current starting lineup of the first team is still very competitive, and the substitutes and rotation lineup are also very good, but it is barely enough to play other teams, but if it is to play against strong La Liga teams such as Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca , that would be more difficult.

Atletico Madrid cannot compare with Real Madrid in this regard.

Sitting on the Real Madrid bench are players such as McManaman, Savio, Solari, Flavio, Celades, etc. These are all humerus generals of the top teams in the four major leagues.

Even if Gremi, who is being scolded so much now, left Real Madrid and went to the Premier League, isn't he still a main-level player in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League?

Behind the huge lineup, it represents Real Madrid's huge salary expenditure and strong financial resources.

Yang Hao's feeling was particularly obvious in the 28th round of La Liga.

Real Madrid plays against Celta Vigo away, which can be regarded as a strong dialogue.

Celta Vigo is currently ranked 6th, but you will know how strong they are just by looking at their start.

Del Bosque also played in the Champions League in the middle of the week, so he rotated, and the intensity of the rotation was not small. Players including Hierro, Cannavaro, Zidane, Figo, Raul, Carlos, etc. were all rotated.

Facing a fierce attack by Celta Vigo in the away game, Real Madrid relied on the double midfielder combination of Makelele and Flavio to securely hold on to the goal.

Then, after 65 minutes of the second half, Del Bosque made substitutions one after another, and both Raul and Zidane came on.

In the 82nd minute, it was Zidane who assisted Raul to score.

1-0, Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo away.

What about Atletico Madrid?

Yang Hao's rotation ideas are similar to Del Bosque's, but the results are quite different.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Valencia's Aimar dribbled the ball in the middle. After attracting the attention of defensive players such as Cambiaso, he was assigned to the left, and Kily Gonzalez took the ball from the left. .

The Norwegian giant Carew attracted the attention of the two central defenders in the middle, but Angulo from the back point beat Evra and scored with a header.

When the game entered the second half, Yang Hao also made substitutions one after another. In the 72nd minute, Deco assisted Diego Forlan to score and equalize the score.

But then no matter how Atletico Madrid attacked, they were unable to break through Valencia's goal.

1 to 1, the Sheets Legion shook hands with Valencia at home.

……

The decline is full!

This is the Spanish media's evaluation of Atletico Madrid after the 28th round.

Since February, Atletico Madrid has obviously been unable to keep up with Real Madrid's rhythm and pace.

Especially after the Copa del Rey and the Champions League started one after another, Atletico Madrid, which operates on two fronts, has frequently fallen into trouble.

After this round of games, Atletico Madrid is already 7 points behind Real Madrid.

With 10 rounds left in the league, this is already a gap that is almost impossible to catch up with.

After learning that Atletico Madrid tied with Valencia, Aspen newspaper, which is close to Real Madrid, even celebrated and built momentum in the newspaper, believing that Real Madrid was close to the La Liga championship.

"It's not that Atletico Madrid didn't perform well enough. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid, which currently has 65 points, is 15 points ahead of Valencia, which is in third place. This is already a very, very good result."

"But Real Madrid is too strong!"

Aspen even believes that with the state shown by Real Madrid this season, it is completely possible to win the league with an unprecedented [-] points. This will be the most dominant league championship in the history of La Liga.

Not only that, Real Madrid is also making great progress in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. At present, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League is basically certain, and the Copa del Rey has already reached the final.

"Vicente Del Bosque's team has shown unprecedented dominance this season. It can advance in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey simultaneously and win the Triple Crown. This will be an unprecedented achievement in the history of Spanish football!"

For Real Madrid, major media in Spain have praised it, but for Atletico Madrid, there are more doubts.

The reason is not difficult to guess, because since February, Atletico Madrid has repeatedly lost points and its condition is not ideal.

Although they defeated Manchester United 1-0 in two games in the Champions League and eliminated Deportivo La Coruña in the Copa del Rey to reach the final, in the league, Real Madrid further widened the points gap.

Atletico Madrid's hope of winning the championship is already quite slim.

"Yang Hao's team is enough to make Atletico Madrid fans proud, but it is a pity that they encountered a Real Madrid team that is difficult to defeat!"

After the 28th round of La Liga, the Copa del Rey final will be ushered in in just 4 days.

The Spanish media are also looking forward to this game.

Real Madrid vice-captain and golden boy Raul even said in an interview with the media that after defeating Celta Vigo in an away game, the lead expanded to 7 points. This is a rare victory for Real Madrid players.

"This is a very important game. Scoring 3 points not only takes us a big step towards the championship, but also allows us to regain our confidence, especially for Wednesday's Copa del Rey final."

Raul believes that Atletico Madrid's performance in the past two seasons is obvious to all. This is a very capable team, and the Copa del Rey final coincides with Real Madrid's centenary celebration, which makes the game even more unique.

"Yes, it will be a difficult game, but I don't think it will have any impact on us, we are a team used to winning, and my teammates and I will do our best and work hard in the game. "

"Our opponents are indeed very tenacious and very good, but I have always believed that for us at Real Madrid, victory does not depend on the strength of our opponents, but on ourselves."

Raul's remarks were also recognized by captain Hierro.

Hierro believes that holding the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu in conjunction with the centenary celebrations must have a special meaning for Real Madrid, but this will not affect the determination of Real Madrid players.

"This will make us more motivated!"

But Hierro also reminded his teammates that Atletico Madrid is a very strong team and must not take it lightly just because it plays at home. It must show the team's best form.

"I believe that as long as we give our best, victory will definitely belong to us, Real Madrid!"

Head coach Del Bosque arranged a large rotation in the previous game against Celta Vigo, and the purpose was naturally for the Copa del Rey final.

"Our current team is in very good shape. We have been adjusting in the past few games. The team and players have performed at a very high level. We are confident that we can defeat our opponents at the Bernabeu Stadium and win the Copa del Rey!"

But Del Bosque denied that Real Madrid management gave him instructions that he must win. He said that he had not received any similar requirements or notifications.

"In fact, we all know that such a requirement cannot exist."

Real Madrid's sporting director Valdano also denied the existence of similar demands. He said that the Copa del Rey final is a successful conclusion to Real Madrid's centenary celebration, and Real Madrid will defeat its opponents during the celebration and get on the podium.

"Winning the Copa del Rey is the best birthday gift for Real Madrid who turns [-]!"

Valdano believes that "the game will be between two of the strongest teams in Europe. This will be a great game that will be remembered by countless fans, and we are one of the teams in the game."

"I can't imagine anything greater or more exciting than hosting a game like this at the Bernabeu during the club's centenary celebrations, and I believe the coaching staff and players are well prepared."

"We will win this championship!"

In addition, Zidane, Figo, Morientes, Guti and other Real Madrid superstars have all been interviewed by media reporters one after another, and have repeatedly expressed their confidence and desire to win the King's Cup final.

Obviously, everyone knows that this game has a very special meaning for Real Madrid.

Since a hundred days ago, Real Madrid has been building crazy momentum, including countdown activities and various celebrations.

For example, Real Madrid will invite the world's three top tenors to gather at the Bernabeu to perform live for Real Madrid. This will be an unprecedented music feast.

Over the past six months, Real Madrid has cooperated with Spanish television to organize large-scale singer and model selection contests, with the finals scheduled during Real Madrid's centenary celebrations.

On the night of March 3, this group of selected rookies will perform at the celebration.

In the past [-] days, Madrid TV stations have repeatedly broadcast Real Madrid's century-old history special program every week, and the ratings have always been high.

Spanish media such as Marca and AS have spared no effort to promote Real Madrid's centenary celebrations.

Everything points directly to the night of March 3th.

Suddenly, the whole of Europe, no, the whole world was looking forward to the most eye-catching Copa del Rey final in history.

Real Madrid fans regard it as the beginning of great history.

Because from this night, they will take the first step towards a great Triple Crown!
But among the waves of praise, there is also a trace of discordant noise.

Atletico Madrid head coach Yang Hao specifically accepted an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais. He publicly stated that Atletico Madrid will never show mercy because of Real Madrid's centenary celebration.

"On the contrary, it makes us more motivated!"

"I know Real Madrid have prepared very, very much for this, but so have we."

"I told my players that we will win a Maracana-style victory at Real Madrid's centenary celebration and let the world remember our team!"

Many Real Madrid fans don't know what's going on and are speculating, what is a Maracana victory?
Real Madrid mouthpiece Aspen quickly counterattacked, believing that Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid did not have such strength.

The so-called Maracana victory was the 1950 World Cup final held at the Maracana Stadium in Brazil. However, under the eyes of Brazilian fans, Uruguay snatched away the World Cup championship that they regarded as theirs.

This was hailed as a classic victory!

Yang Hao's meaning is also very obvious, which is to tell the world that Atletico Madrid is definitely the spoiler!

If Real Madrid wants to win the championship at the centenary celebrations, don’t even think about it!
……

The two teams' sharp remarks against Maimang before the game made this focus game even more exciting.

As the centenary celebration approaches, this event has gradually occupied important pages in major media around the world, especially in Europe, where it is on the front page of authoritative media almost every day.

Spanish King Juan Carlos and the Prime Minister will come to the scene to express their congratulations, and government officials at all levels have also indicated that they will attend, not to mention that all senior officials from FIFA and UEFA will come to congratulate.

Juan Carlos even said affectionately in a TV special program: "In my heart, Real Madrid is a symbol of Spain and a symbol of the vicissitudes of the royal family for decades."

Some media also broke the news that Real Madrid's entire centenary celebration was unprecedented in scale, fully reflecting the grandeur of the best club in the 20th century. There were a total of more than 40 celebrations, costing more than 6 million euros.

In addition to football matches, there is another activity related to Yang Hao.

That is, before the football game, in addition to performances by tenors and singers, the world's most famous models are also invited to the Bernabeu Stadium to display famous brand fashions, including dozens of world-class supermodels.

Among them is Yang Hao’s ex-girlfriend Alessandra Ambrosio.

Some media have even begun to build momentum for fear of chaos in the world, believing that Yang Hao's ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend will appear at the Bernabeu Stadium, which will definitely become a beautiful scenery in this centenary celebration.

Yang Hao declined to comment.

He never discusses his personal relationships in public.

When many media believed that Atletico Madrid would "help" its neighbors at the juncture of Real Madrid's centenary celebrations, Yang Hao sternly refuted it.

"In Atletico Madrid's values, not being afraid of power is engraved in our bones. The gene of a rebel flows in our blood. We are always working hard to fight against power and never compromise!"

"Not only will we not be timid or compromise, on the contrary, we will perform better and be more tenacious than ever before, and we will fight until the last second of the game!"

"This is what we at Atletico believe in!"

Yang Hao's words have also been unanimously affirmed by Atletico Madrid players, management and celebrities, and have also been recognized by all non-Real Madrid fans.

Didn’t Real Madrid deliberately arrange to hold the Copa del Rey final during the centenary celebration?
Okay, if you want to win the championship, then show your true skills!

……

Externally, Yang Hao had a very tough tone, but internally, Yang Hao focused more on comforting others.

He even told the players in the team's internal meeting to try to view the game with a normal mind.

"This is Real Madrid's centenary celebration, not ours."

Yang Hao told Atletico Madrid players that Real Madrid could not afford to lose this game, but Atletico Madrid could afford to lose.

"When the whole world thinks that it is natural for us to lose, then what do we have to worry about?"

During this period, the two resident psychologists of Atletico Madrid's first team have also begun to play a role. They have formulated a series of counseling and comfort measures to prevent players from being overly stressed.

Yang Hao himself is also very restrained.

Before the game, Atletico Madrid followed all preparations according to the original process and did not emphasize anything in particular.

Yang Hao still hopes that players can enter the court with a normal heart.

Because he knows that as long as Atletico Madrid is not in a hurry, Real Madrid will be in a hurry.

In their centenary celebrations, they will definitely want to win. The louder the Real Madrid club makes, the more urgent the players' mood will be, and the more restless they will be on the court.This is what Irueta said. Before the game even started, Atletico Madrid had a certain psychological advantage.

In order to give the players a calmer welcome to the game, Yang Hao declined all visits.

Including Hill's request to talk to the players before the game, Yang Hao rejected them all. He did not even agree to Cerezo and Hill's request for additional bonuses for the players.

He wants to do everything possible to normalize this game.

This also resulted in that before the game, Real Madrid's momentum was overwhelming, and there was an endless stream of activities one after another, but Atletico Madrid seemed particularly low-key.

Apart from Yang Hao's interview and the players' support for Yang Hao, there is basically no other news.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, has always been at the forefront, and the team's preparations have attracted the attention of fans around the world.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid must win this game.

If it is known to everyone that King Juan Carlos of Spain is a die-hard Real Madrid fan, then Spanish Prime Minister Arsenal revealed in an interview with the media, "I have wanted to be like Di Stefano since I was 7 years old. Player, playing for Real Madrid."

Once again, this caused huge concern.

Everyone can see that Real Madrid has put a lot of effort into this centenary celebration.

On the day of the competition, while it was still snowing heavily in the UK, Germany and other regions, Madrid, located on the Iberian Peninsula, was sunny and clear.

spring is coming!

……

"All commemorative activities have been prepared and we have rehearsed in the past few days."

On the morning of the King's Cup final day, only the fans' memorial hall and shops were open to the public at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. All visits to the stadium were closed because the centenary celebrations entered the final countdown.

The person in charge of this centenary celebration is Rodriguez, the artistic director of the famous multinational media group Calat. He is accompanying Florentino and Real Madrid’s senior executives to the site to inspect the celebration tonight. Process and preparation.

"At that time, we will put all the championship trophies the club has won in the past 100 years on both sides of the tunnel entrance of the stadium, connected to the stage in the middle of the stadium."

"The bands we have invited are all world-class. They will play live at that time. The warm-up singers who won the singing competition and are loved by the fans will enter the venue starting from 18 o'clock."

"After the singer's performance, there will be a fashion show for more than 20 world-class supermodels. They will wear fashions from major brands, walk out of the players' tunnel, go to the stage and come back."

"After that, Domingo sang our team song, and other soprano singers such as Carreras performed, which pushed the entire atmosphere to the climax and prepared for the next King's Cup final."

Rodriguez is the artistic director of Europe's best celebrations and has organized many very successful major celebrations, even some at the national level.

This time Florentino also spent a lot of money to invite him to create this centenary celebration for Real Madrid.

"Will the king and queen still host the celebration?" Florentino asked with concern.

"Yes, the king is looking forward to it very much." Rodriguez smiled.

All Real Madrid fans around the world are also looking forward to it.

This time, all walks of life have given Real Madrid extremely high standards of treatment, from the royal family to the government, from UEFA to FIFA.

For example, as early as last year, FIFA announced that December 2002, 12, was officially designated as [Real Madrid Day]. On this day, Real Madrid will play a friendly match with World Stars United at the Bernabeu.

It's nothing.

The point is, on this day, no official competition can be held anywhere in the world.

In other words, on December 12, there was only one official game at the Bernabeu on the entire planet.

This shows how high the treatment given to Real Madrid by FIFA is.

And just tonight, in this Bernabeu Stadium, there are not only political and business celebrities from Spain and Europe, but also ambassadors from various countries and dignitaries from other countries.

There are three former presidents of the United States alone. This is definitely an unprecedented high level in the sports world.

It can be said that Florentino worked hard for this game.

After inspecting the Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino and his team returned to the administrative office.

"How are Bosque's preparations going?" Florentino asked with concern as soon as he sat down.

"Everything is going well. The players have been rotating before. I just hope they can be in the best condition to face tonight's game."

Florentino felt a little relieved, "Where's Atletico Madrid?"

"No news has come out, it's very low-key."

Florentino nodded. In the face of Real Madrid's overwhelming publicity campaign, it was impossible for Atletico Madrid not to keep a low profile.

With the foundation of the Shenlian Legion, how can you compete with Real Madrid?
"You still have to be careful and tell Del Bosque that this game tonight is very, very, very important!"

Florentino emphasized it three times in a row.

"Media from all over the world are paying attention to the Bernabeu tonight and this game. We have held a grand celebration unprecedented in the football world. The momentum is very majestic. Now he is the only one missing the championship."

Valdano nodded, he knew the importance of this matter.

Real Madrid's management has done so many things to use this opportunity to build Real Madrid's momentum and promote its brand. Whether they can defeat Atletico Madrid tonight and win the Copa del Rey is extremely important.

"I have always been paying attention to public opinion. They were very low-key before the Horse Race, so the outside world was basically not optimistic about this team, and even thought it would be difficult for them to win." Butragueno said with a smile.

Obviously, this is a good thing for Real Madrid.

"I hope so," Florentino sighed.

He didn't know why, but he still couldn't trust Yang Hao.

It was a very special feeling that even he couldn't explain clearly.

From the perspective of strength, Real Madrid has superstars such as Zidane, Raul, Figo, Morientes, Carlos and Casillas. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can crush Atletico Madrid's baby soldiers, right?
Tonight is another home game at the Bernabeu, and Real Madrid has created momentum and atmosphere again.

Florentino really can't think of any reason for Real Madrid to lose tonight?

He even heard many guests, including King Juan Carlos, say more than once that it would be best to have a hearty victory tonight and use gorgeous offensive football that best reflects the temperament of Real Madrid. , taking away Atletico Madrid in one wave.

Not only to win, but also to win so that the whole world will be amazed and convinced.

The best superstar, the best football, the best club.

This is called nobility!
This is Real Madrid!
But deep down in Florentino's heart, he was still somewhat worried and felt insecure.

Yang Hao, that bastard, always plays tricks out of the ordinary, always unexpectedly.

Thinking of this, Florentino found that he could do nothing.

"Jorge."

Valdano nodded.

"You are a professional and the sports director of the team. Please help me keep an eye on it. We cannot lose this game tonight!"

Valdano nodded heavily, "Don't worry, we won't mess it up!"

"Okay, I believe you."

Having said this, Florentino slapped his legs and stood up from the sofa.

"Come on, accompany me to meet our guests."

……

Although it is Real Madrid's centenary celebration, in fact, this game is still strictly arranged according to the specifications of the King's Cup final.

For example, tonight, among the fans who walked into the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, there was an even split between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

But the guests were basically guests from Real Madrid, and they all sat in the chairman's stand.

When the players from both teams, led by referee Mejuto Gonzalez, walked out of the tunnel one after another and entered the Bernabeu Stadium, there was overwhelming applause.

Fans from both teams in the stands.

It was obvious that after just experiencing an extremely lively performance, the atmosphere at the scene had been pushed to a climax.

Yang Hao was the last to leave the locker room.

When he was walking around the corner of the player tunnel, he happened to see the supermodels who had just finished changing their clothes in the dressing room walking out of the dressing room and walking towards the stands.

When they saw Yang Hao, many of them nodded with a smile.

Obviously, they have all heard of Yang Hao's name.

"Hello, Yang." Ambrosio walked over gracefully and hugged Yang Hao politely.

"It's such a pity that I couldn't see your performance just now."

Yang Hao and her broke up peacefully. Both of them managed their relationship well. They are still friends with each other. Even Yang Hao is thinking that they can make an appointment to get together if they have time in the future.

"Wish you good luck tonight."

"Thank you." Yang Hao smiled and nodded.

When I walked out of the players' tunnel, I happened to see the players of the two teams lining up in front for a group photo, with a huge King's Cup flag in the middle.

As soon as Yang Hao walked out, he saw Bosque walking towards him and immediately smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Vicente."

"Welcome to the Bernabeu!" Del Bosque shook hands with Yang Hao.

"Hopefully it will be a good game tonight."

Yang Hao nodded, "Me too."

The two of them walked towards the coaching bench.

As a mortal rival in the same city, Atletico Madrid vowed to fight Real Madrid tonight, so they were at odds with each other in many matters.

For example, Atletico Madrid fans opened a huge Tifo in the stands with the Real Madrid team emblem on it, but the crown at the top of the team emblem was taken off, and next to it was the Atletico Madrid team emblem. The crown originally belonged to Real Madrid.

After it was opened, the scene was filled with enthusiastic cheers from Atletico Madrid fans.

This represents Atletico Madrid fans declaring war!
Tonight, Atletico vows to take off Real Madrid's underwear!
Real Madrid fans are mostly cheering for tonight's game, hoping that the superstars in the stadium can continue their efforts.

……

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas;

Defense: Carlos, Hierro, Cannavaro and Salgado;

Midfield: Makelele and Helguera at the back, Zidane, Raul and Figo at the front;

Forward: Morientes.

This is Real Madrid's starting lineup tonight.

After two seasons of running-in, Zidane and Figo have fully integrated into the team, and their cooperation with Raul has become more tacit.

Although Real Madrid's lineup is 4231, in fact, in the game, they will not play step by step at all.

Raul is often closer to the right side, leaving all the left side of the center to Zidane, and he is very close to Morientes and is used to inserting from behind.

Sometimes, even Figo on the right is actively leaning towards the center.

Real Madrid's superstars play personal performances, and every player has super personal abilities.

Not to mention anything else, Zidane, Raul, Figo and Morientes are the only four players in front. Who dares to be careless?

Not to mention, there's Carlos behind him.

Atletico Madrid deployed a 4321 formation tonight.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar;

Defense: Aurelio, Carvalho, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfield: Cambiasso, Simeone and Baraja trail behind, Deco and Kaká advance;

Forward: Adriano.

Yang Hao still adopted the 4321 formation in this game.

After several tough battles before, he began to realize the benefits of this tactical play, that is, the defense is really strong. This time, facing Real Madrid, which is full of superstars, Yang Hao still adopted this style of play.

This also showed everyone his attitude tonight, which is to defend and counterattack.

Real Madrid plays at home and must win at the same time. Atletico Madrid wants to use this mentality to attack Real Madrid's defense with the team's sharp counterattack.

Even if Bosque guessed Atletico Madrid's intentions, there was nothing he could do.

Because he has no way out now.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Atletico Madrid clearly deployed a relatively conservative 4321 tactic, but when the referee blew the whistle, the Sheets Army took the initiative to press it out.

When Real Madrid kicked off, they immediately felt the pressing pressure from Atletico Madrid, and it was very strong and determined.

The front three all rushed into Real Madrid's half, and the three defensive midfielders and four defenders also pushed to the center line.

This surprised Real Madrid.

When Carlos tried to push the ball through the center line from the left, Baraja rushed over and put a shovel directly on the ball, shoveling the ball out of bounds, but at the same time tripping Carlos.

The referee did not blow the whistle, but signaled the game to continue with Real Madrid's throw-in.

Carlos threw the foul ball vigorously and directly towards the frontcourt, looking for Morientes, but Lucio decisively went around and headed the ball back.

The ball shuttled back and forth near the center line. The game was fast-paced and both sides fought fiercely.

Real Madrid showed an aggressive momentum from the beginning and wanted to defeat Atletico Madrid in one go.

But obviously, they did not expect that Atletico Madrid would be very active after the start and actually go head-to-head with Real Madrid.

Isn't it about defensive counterattack?

Bosque turned his head and glanced at Yang Hao in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, feeling a little helpless.

His idea is to use the opening to attack directly, and if everything goes well, take Atletico Madrid away in one wave.

In his opinion, the possibility of Atletico Madrid adopting offensive tactics is not very high.

At least in terms of strength, Real Madrid still has such confidence.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hao did not play conservatively after the start, but took the initiative to press forward.

Just as Bosque was thinking about it, the situation in the stadium suddenly changed.

After Atletico grabbed the ball near the center line, it passed to Kaká.

The Brazilian stopped the ball and moved forward, started immediately, and started to rush with the ball.

But before he started, Makelele took action and directly intercepted him with the ball without fouling.

There was a burst of cheers from Real Madrid fans.

"It was a very good steal!"

"We saw that Real Madrid quickly passed the ball forward and handed it to Zidane."

"Zidane walked to the center, and Baraja and Belletti attacked at the same time."

"Atletico Madrid won the ball again and the defense was very tight."

"If you pass the ball forward, it's better to leave it to Kaka in the gap."

"Kaka stopped the ball, started quickly, dribbled the ball forward, and then passed to Deco."

"Deco got rid of Helguera and passed diagonally to Adriano at the top of the penalty area."

"Adriano turned his back to the direction of attack, stopped the ball with his left foot, turned around and hit the goal!"

"Casillas fought hard to save the ball."

"This is the first shot tonight, a long shot from the top of Adriano's penalty area!"

"Atletico didn't play conservatively tonight."

"Cannavaro was a little reluctant to defend Adriano in a one-on-one situation."

"It seems that it will not be easy for Real Madrid to win tonight."

"As a mortal enemy in the same city, Atletico Madrid is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated."

　I have a hunch that you are going to scold me...but the monthly pass is still required.
