Chapter 205 Season Summary!You don’t understand the joy of poaching an enemy! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

The La Liga season of 03/04 has finally settled.

The biggest news was not that Atletico Madrid won the championship, but that the superstar-studded Galacticos fell out of the top four in La Liga.

This has to be said to be a very ironic thing.

Sitting on the most luxurious lineup in the world, with the world's top superstars, they can't even play in the Champions League.

The day after La Liga ended, Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​wrote an article in his exclusive column, believing that the situation in La Liga this season is that the middle class has destroyed the lives of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In this article, Cruyff said that at the beginning of the season, many people predicted that this season would belong to Beckham and Ronaldinho, but in the end this season belonged to Atletico Madrid and Yang Hao.

Cruyff believes that for a long time in the past, Spanish football has not wanted to see Atletico Madrid.

"But since Yang Hao took charge, Atletico Madrid has set a benchmark both in business and on the court!"

"Yang Hao is doing an extremely great thing. He is creating a new model. He is telling other clubs in Spain that we don't need to recruit big-name stars like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but we can still win the championship. "

"As a whole and as a team, this is the key factor for Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Deportivo to continue to be among the top four this season. It is also the reason why Barcelona was forced to rank third and Real Madrid fell out of the top four of the league."

In this article, Cruyff criticized Real Madrid's superstar strategy and believed that Zidanega Pavin's policy is officially dead because it is a very unhealthy way of forming a team.

"I remember that Yang Hao once mentioned a theory. He believed that a healthy and reasonable team should be rugby-type, with superstars and rookies accounting for a small part, and the powerful players in the middle accounting for the majority."

"I very much agree with this view, but Zidanega Pavin's policy is exactly the opposite. Real Madrid tries to build a team based only on superstars and rookies, eliminating the core and most stable force in the middle."

"We saw the final result. Real Madrid was unable to succeed and completely collapsed in the final stages of two consecutive seasons."

"This is the price of destroying the middle class!"

Regarding Barcelona, ​​Cruyff did not avoid the problem, but believed that Barcelona took a detour in the first half of the season, but before and after the winter break, the team had begun to realize the problem.

"Rijkaard is a trustworthy head coach. He has found a tactical plan that suits Barcelona. The next step is to strengthen and improve the lineup based on this tactical plan."

Cruyff believes that he is very much looking forward to Barcelona in the new season.

The godfather of Barcelona also commented on the overall situation of La Liga this season. Valencia received strong praise from him. He believed that Benitez's team did a very good job in balancing, "It is just a bit mechanical. Although it is very efficient, it lacks Some creativity."

"This is where Valencia falls short of Atletico Madrid."

"But to be able to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona and win second place in La Liga in such a strong season for Atletico Madrid is a testament to Valencia's performance. Benitez's coaching deserves recognition."

Another team that was highly praised by Cruyff was Villarreal.

But Cruyff will not talk about Villarreal's number one star Riquelme, because this is a knot in the hearts of Barcelona fans.

He just believes that Villarreal can achieve good results in both La Liga and the UEFA Cup and deserves recognition.

As for Atletico Madrid, which won La Liga and the Copa del Rey, Cruyff naturally gave more praise, but also reminded Yang Hao that playing Cooper in the Champions League final will be a very, very difficult matchup.

"Both teams are competing for the treble, and Cooper is familiar with La Liga and has rich experience in Champions League finals."

"Atletico Madrid's advantage is their creativity, which is currently Inter Milan's biggest shortcoming."

"How to make good use of this advantage will test Yang Hao's technical and tactical skills."

……

In addition to Cruyff, various media in Spain have also published season summaries.

Among them, Marca believes that this season is a season where newcomers in La Liga emerge collectively.

"This has been the main theme of La Liga in the past few seasons, especially at Atletico Madrid, which is dominated by young players, and rookies are constantly emerging every year."

"For example, this season, Torres has further stabilized his position. He defeated Ronaldo and won the La Liga Golden Boot. And Kaká, after his sudden emergence last season, has shown an amazing momentum of improvement this season and has already begun to follow the ball. The strength of the team’s main midfielder Deco is on par.”

"Reyes, Robben, Iniesta... Cech defeated young goalkeepers such as Casillas and Valdes this season and won the title of La Liga's best goalkeeper. This has firmly locked the Czech goalkeeper. Atletico Madrid’s main position.”

Marca believes that Atletico Madrid under the coaching of Yang Hao has never lacked young players who are emerging.

In addition to these young players who have already performed well in the first team and have established themselves, there are also young players such as Ramos, Messi, David Silva and Modric, all of whom have performed well in the second team. , also appeared in the first team.

Ramos has scored his first goal in La Liga, and Messi has set a record as the youngest scorer in the history of the Champions League.

These people are the ones Yang Hao will focus on cultivating next, and they are the future of Atletico Madrid.

Marca is full of expectations and believes that these young players from Atletico Madrid will definitely amaze the whole of Spain and even the entire European football world.

In addition to Atletico Madrid, La Liga has also seen the emergence of many outstanding rookies this season.

For example, Baptista in Seville.

The Brazilian midfielder, nicknamed The Beast, is only 22 years old, but he made an impact with 20 La Liga goals last season and has successfully won the favor of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"He has outstanding physical fitness, excellent skills, strong body, and strong offensive power. After moving forward, he has almost become the best all-around midfielder in La Liga."

"According to Catalan media reports, Barcelona has been in contact with Sevilla, hoping to sign this outstanding Brazilian midfielder, but Real Madrid is also full of interest in Baptista."

With his outstanding performance this season, Baptista was selected for the Brazilian national team and became teammates with Ronaldinho and Belletti. Both of them are recommending Baptista to Barcelona's senior management and think that this A midfielder who is good at attacking and defending will be an important part of Barcelona's midfield.

Baptista himself was also excited about Barcelona's favor, but Sevilla's price tag for him reached 3500 million euros.

In terms of goalkeepers, Petr Cech is already well-known. Valdez has emerged as a standout this season and has performed well.

The central defender is Gabriel Milito of New Ayala. The Argentine central defender has performed very well this season.

Athletic Bilbao's left wing Del Horno is another player who has performed well this season and is a hot commodity on the transfer market, with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona all coveting him.

Media such as Marca all agree that the continuous emergence of new players in La Liga this season proves the vitality of La Liga.

This is a very good trend.

"La Liga President Antonio Ponte has formulated an ambitious five-year plan, starting in 2004, and planning to use five years to build La Liga into the most attractive top league in the world."

"To this end, this summer, La Liga will make comprehensive upgrades to the La Liga broadcast facilities and multimedia systems for the new season to improve the level and quality of La Liga broadcasts and provide fans around the world with a better viewing experience."

"Not only that, La Liga will also adjust its schedule to accommodate the needs of teams in various time zones around the world. There will be games at noon for the first time, and it will not even be ruled out that some important games will be held at noon."

“Antonio Ponte said that La Liga is conducting research with partners around the world and will consider arranging the two rounds of the Spanish Super Cup to be held overseas in the future. It will also organize groups of La Liga teams to travel to various parts of the world for warm-up cup matches. It will set off a vigorous globalization movement of La Liga around the world."

Marca believes that La Liga is on the eve of the transformation and upgrading of league operations, because the broadcast rights will be bundled and sold starting in 2005. At this time point, La Liga is constantly emerging with more and more rookies, with various skills. Tactics are also emerging in endlessly, which is conducive to La Liga bringing a higher level of football games to fans around the world.

"In five years, perhaps, we will see La Liga reverse Serie A and become the most famous league in world football!"

Marca also defined the next Triple Crown battle as a frontline battle between La Liga and Serie A for the world's No. [-] league.

……

After La Liga came to an end, Real Madrid announced three pieces of news in full swing.

First, head coach Queiroz dismissed get out of class, and Real Madrid's legendary Camacho took over as Real Madrid coach.

This aroused heated discussion from the outside world, because everyone knew that Camacho and Florentino were not on the right track.

When Florentino signed superstars one after another, Camacho often came out to criticize Florentino, and even had a very unhappy relationship with Morientes.

But this time, Camacho picked up Real Madrid's pointer again at the critical moment of Real Madrid.

Moreover, Aspen also revealed that Florentino personally called to invite Camacho.

The reason is that the current Real Madrid locker room needs a strong head coach to rectify it. Camacho has extraordinary influence in Real Madrid and he is the most suitable candidate.

Camacho is also famous for his bad temper and tough personality. As soon as he took office, he said that he would use an iron fist to form a political team.

In an interview with the media, he said: "No matter who he is, as long as he is not in good condition, I will not let him play!"

At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with the problems in the team's locker room last season and believed that it was not the Real Madrid in his impression.

But many Real Madrid stars expressed confusion and even dissatisfaction with Camacho's remarks.

Ronaldo stood up and said, "Real Madrid's locker room has always been very quiet. There are no undisciplined players. There is no need to implement so-called iron-fist rule. What the team needs is good game results."

The Brazilian superstar also mentioned Del Bosque and Queiroz. He believes that Del Bosque is the best head coach he has ever encountered. Queiroz is also a good person, but lacks some luck. "They have both won the respect of the players."

As the team's best-performing superstar last season, Ronaldo's remarks were interpreted by the media as an admonition to Camacho.

The second piece of news is that the club's sporting director Valdano announced his resignation.

As Florentino's right-hand man, Valdano played a key role in the early days of the Galacticos, but he came up empty-handed for two consecutive seasons, especially this season, where he couldn't even make the top four.

Florentino's position as chairman has been shaken. At this time, someone needs to stand up, take responsibility for his dereliction of duty, and accept the criticism and accusations from Real Madrid fans.

Valdano is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

With Valdano's resignation, Real Madrid's new round of power adjustments has also started.

Real Madrid Vice Chairman and legendary star Butragueno will serve as the club's interim general manager to handle the current affairs of the club, but the power of player transfers and negotiations will be transferred to the director of marketing department Jose Ange. Sanchez.

Sanchez followed Florentino into Real Madrid. Over the years, he has made great contributions to the global promotion of Real Madrid's brand. He is also very good at dancing. Signing Beckham is his masterpiece.

Previously, The Sun photographed a private meeting between Real Madrid executives and Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon, and it was Sanchez.

It can also be seen from this point that Florentino will continue to adhere to the superstar strategy.

The third piece of news from Real Madrid is that Raul criticized Real Madrid's team formation strategy in the media.

As the captain of Real Madrid, Raul admitted in an interview with AS that this was the worst season of his career and his performance was unsatisfactory, "but I have not given up my efforts."

Regarding the team's problems, Raul believes that the most important thing is the lack of thickness of the team's bench.

"This is the second season and we always perform poorly in the second half."

"In such a long season, we only have 12 players who can play. The strength of the remaining players is too different from the main players. This is the reason why we have no results."

Raul believes that both Real Madrid fans and the media have very high demands on Real Madrid.

"Everyone always demands that we win every championship, but the team must do a more reasonable job when configuring the lineup. Only in this way can we be competitive."

Raul also criticized the team's "Galaxy" title, believing that it has brought a lot of bad influence to the team.

"It hurts us all as a team, the players and the club, and it's not a term that should have a place in football."

But the media later revealed that Florentino was dissatisfied with Raul's accusations.

La Liga has just come to an end, and before the Champions League final, Real Madrid once again occupied the attention of the world's major media and fans.

Even if he has lost his qualification for the Champions League next season, even if he has disappointed again and again, the presence of superstars still makes Real Madrid's every move concern the hearts of media and fans around the world.

Every decision Real Madrid makes may trigger an earthquake in European football.

……

Florentino is having a hard time.

After playing the last round of La Liga, he did not return to the Bernabeu.

He gave himself three days off.

When he returned to work, Butragueno and Sanchez came over to give him the latest progress.

"Carlos Martinez and Vazquez spent two days in Rome."

"Yesterday at 11 o'clock in the morning, the Roma board of directors passed the resolution to sell Samuel and Emerson. Starting from 14 o'clock in the afternoon, Roma general manager Baldini took the resolution to negotiate with us and held discussions with our team at the hotel. It took 10 hours of arduous negotiations.”

"The initial offer we made was 1800 million euros, but Roma rejected it. They wanted to add Morientes to the negotiations..."

When Florentino heard this, he raised his head and looked at Jose Sanchez who was speaking opposite.

Jose Sanchez was shocked and said quickly: "We refused."

The damage caused by Morientes to Real Madrid, or to Florentino, far exceeded the expectations of the outside world.

In the past, whether it was Eto'o, Cambiasso or Munitis, it didn't matter because they were all outsiders.

But Morientes is different.

He is one of their own in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, and he is a star who was once loved by Real Madrid fans.

Florentino sent him away for a superstar, but Morientes eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League round of [-]. How did Real Madrid fans accept this?

So, all their anger was vented on the chairman.

Recently, a rich man named Carlos Gonzalez is running for the Real Madrid presidential election in July this year. He uses this as a topic and crazily attacks Florentino, thinking that he is wasting people and money.

Because when he took over, Real Madrid was already the Champions League champion.

Morientes is their most powerful weapon against Florentino!

What now?
There are more and more superstars, but Real Madrid's results are getting worse and worse.

Carlos Gonzalez was ignored by Florentino, or had little chance of winning, but Florentino still made a fuss.

"After long negotiations, we finally agreed on a transfer price of 2500 million euros."

"Chelsea has also joined the battle. They are also in urgent need of a central defender, so they have made an offer of 3000 million euros, or even higher, and also gave Samuel a post-tax amount of up to 450 million euros. The sky-high annual salary, but the Argentines still chose us."

Florentino nodded slightly.

Real Madrid is wary of Chelsea, but they also look down upon them.

In fact, this is how European football now views Chelsea, an upstart!
This is why, even though Real Madrid offers a lower annual salary, Samuel still wants to come to Real Madrid.

At this time, the stars all hope to provide timely help to Real Madrid and further enhance their careers in Real Madrid.

Florentino gave Sanchez a look of appreciation. This subordinate's ability to do things was still very strong.

"I played a round of golf yesterday with the CEO of the Mediterranean Savings Bank, and they were willing to give us a low-interest loan, and the amount was quite high."

When Florentino said this, he looked at Butragueno, "You can ask someone in the finance department to calculate how much transfer budget we can still afford after we get this low-interest loan?"

Butragueno was stunned for a moment, "Are you planning to sign someone else?"

Such a big move must be a big deal.

The one closest to Real Madrid is Sevilla's Baptista, but the problem is, he is not what Real Madrid needs most.

In the midfield, there are Vieira and Beckham, as well as Raul and Guti. Zidane can also play. Does he need Baptista?

Besides, there was no need to go to a bank for such a loan for Baptista's transfer, it was Florentino who came to negotiate.

"In the current European football transfer market, how many superstars are there who are outstanding and meet our needs?" Florentino asked in turn.

With the introduction of Ronaldo, it is basically difficult for players such as Shevchenko and Henry to enter the Bernabeu.

If they really want to introduce another striker, Raul will really resist.

The captain of Real Madrid is now forced to make way for Ronaldo and introduce a forward superstar. What should Raul do?
"You mean...Joaquin?" Jose Sanchez rolled his eyes and guessed it immediately.

Florentino nodded, "Figo is old and needs to be replaced on the right."

"Atletico Madrid will not agree." Butragueno shook his head.

"No need for their consent."

"Termination fee?" Butragueno was a little surprised, "8000 million euros!"

This is Joaquin's termination fee. There are reports that Atletico Madrid wants to renew the contract with Joaquin and is in talks to renew the contract.

Jose Sanchez on the side also nodded and said: "This is indeed very expensive, but it can weaken Atletico Madrid!" "Yes, with Atletico Madrid's current strength, we must do something, otherwise, next year and after Year, what should we do?”

Florentino looked directly at Butragueno, "Are you confident that you can beat them?"

Butragueno remained silent.

"From a business point of view, Joaquin will only be 7 years old in July. To be honest, 23 million euros is really outrageous. I think we can try to negotiate with Atletico Madrid first." Jose Sanchez suggested.

"No need to talk to them!" Florentino refused, "Joaquin is the best right winger in Spain and meets our tactical needs. With the strength he has shown, it will not be a problem in the next 10 years. 8000 million euros Is it expensive?”

"Besides, we are never afraid of high-priced signings, are we?"

Jose Sanchez nodded.

The higher the transfer fee, the more sensational it will be, and the greater the brand improvement for Real Madrid.

But signing Joaquin for 8000 million euros is really outrageous.

But once successful, the effect will be comparable to signing Figo in 2000.

They are all poaching people from their mortal enemies!
"There is news that Chelsea is also eyeing Atletico Madrid, and the Blues' incoming head coach Mourinho wants to sign Deco, Drogba, Carvalho, Reyes and Joaquin." He Said Sanchez.

"Moreover, Carvalho just changed his agent to Jorge Mendes not long ago."

Florentino heard this and nodded: "Yes, so at this time, if we grab Joaquin, Atletico Madrid's strength will be greatly affected, and at the same time we can strengthen ourselves. Do you think this deal is worth it?" ?”

Signing Figo from Barcelona for a record-breaking price back then, looking back now, was it worth it?

It’s a great value, right?

You don’t understand the joy of poaching an enemy!

"This is crazy." Butragueno was still a little uneasy.

How much does Zidane cost?
Spending so much money on a 23-year-old Spanish winger?

From the perspective of club management and attacking opponents, it may be worth it, but can Joaquin really perform at this level?
Don’t forget, Anelka also came to the Bernabeu with a sky-high price. What was the result?
Given the current situation in Real Madrid's locker room, if Joaquin comes, will he be able to fit in?

"I still have reservations about this decision." Butragueno insisted.

"As long as you don't object," Florentino made up his mind.

He now very much needs to stabilize his position as chairman as soon as possible, otherwise, the chairman will not be able to do it. What difference does it make to him whether Real Madrid spends money or not?
He could personally call Camacho and invite him to come back to coach Real Madrid because he felt threatened.

The same goes for signing Joaquin.

He needs legendary captains like Camacho and local talents like Joaquin to please Real Madrid fans and consolidate his position as chairman.

As for other things, talk about it later!

……

During the past period, Yang Hao and the coaching staff have been studying Inter Milan repeatedly.

This season's Inter Milan has made a comprehensive upgrade based on last season.

Needless to say about the goalkeeper, Toldo is one of the best goalkeepers in world football today.

Defence, Aurelio, Nesta, Cordoba and Zanetti.

Materazzi has been injured for a long time this season, so in the central defender position, Nesta is more likely to partner Cordoba.

This combination is very interesting. Cordoba is only 1 meters tall. He is very short but very fierce. He likes to tackle. He is very fast and has strong close fighting ability. Nesta is responsible for holding back. Help him defend and fill in the gaps.

After this season's running-in, this combination has been polished to become more and more in tune. Even after Materazzi returned, he was unable to squeeze out Cordoba's position.

Aurelio and Zanetti are both offensive and defensive, and their strength goes without saying.

The biggest change in Inter Milan is in the midfield and frontcourt.

Cooper still adopts a 442-442-[-] formation this season, but has changed from the diamond-shaped midfield four he used in Real Mallorca and Valencia to adopt a [-]-[-]-[-] formation with double midfielders, but the two full midfielders are pushed further forward. .

This resulted in Inter Milan's midfield and defense being in a shallow saucer-shaped position, with both wings pressing forward.

Kily Gonzalez, Zanetti, Cambiaso and van der Meyde.

Among them, the double midfielder combination of Zanetti and Cambiasso performed very eye-catchingly, and can even be described as a perfect match.

Occasionally players such as Stankovic and Emre are used as replacements.

On the front line, Vieri was sent away. Adriano scored 27 Serie A goals in this season's Serie A. He is also one of the best centers in the Champions League this season.

It can be said that Adriano is constantly evolving and improving.

The key is the partner Adriano is equipped with.

Cooper gave up Uruguayan genius Recoba and Sierra Leone striker Caron, and instead trusted the 19-year-old Nigerian teenager Martins.

This is a very critical shift.

The combination of Adriano and Martins, needless to say the former, the latter has amazing speed, which can maximize the vitality of Inter Milan's frontcourt and make Inter Milan's counterattack faster.

The most famous one is the 3-0 victory over Arsenal at Highbury Stadium in the group stage, which can be said to have shocked the entire European football world.

Argentinian high forward Cruz is the rotation substitute for the two.

On the two wings, Kili Gonzalez and Van der Meyde, with the support of Aurelio and Zanetti, also performed very actively. This made Inter Milan play a defensive counterattack, but the counterattack speed was extremely fast. , and played very well.

As Wenger commented, Arsenal was beaten dizzy by Inter Milan at home.

Cooper is posing a difficult problem to all Inter Milan's opponents: how to break through Inter Milan's third-ranked defensive system in Serie A without being penetrated by Inter Milan's sharp counterattack.

Yes, Inter Milan has only conceded 26 goals in Serie A this season, ranking third behind Roma with 19 goals and AC Milan with 24 goals, but they have scored 74 goals, second in Serie A. Juventus has 7 more.

But Juventus conceded 42 goals.

More importantly, Cooper's team has only lost 2 games in Serie A this season.

No matter from which perspective, Cooper's team is the most feared opponent in the Champions League this season.

They themselves have a world-class defense line. In the double midfielder, it goes without saying that Cambiasso is the best defensive midfielder in Serie A. Zanetti is definitely the best defensive midfielder in Serie A.

In this case, if you want to penetrate their defense, you must increase your offensive investment.

But once the offense is invested, defensive problems are easily exposed.

Moreover, when facing Cooper's team, they always have to press forward. Martins' speed and Adriano's impact will cause a lot of headaches.

……

"You said, we didn't sell Deco to Inter Milan last summer, but instead asked Cooper to pull off such a big deal. What should we do?"

During the meeting of the Atletico Madrid coaching staff, Yang Hao laughed with a headache.

The reason why Cooper is a master tactician is reflected here.

The living will not be suffocated by urine.

When he couldn't buy Deco, he made adjustments and changed formations, which resulted in this trick.

Does it work?
Inter Milan is chasing the Triple Crown, you say, okay?

"The midfielder will still be relatively weak, especially the double midfielder. Cambiaso is like a card dealer. We must create some trouble for him." Juanma Lillo suggested.

But immediately, Mendiodo followed his train of thought and proposed the next possibility.

"They will play more wide, with Aurelio attacking, or even Zanetti on the right."

"Then our two wingers will definitely have to press up and hold up their full-backs."

"When the winger presses forward, the defense is very dangerous. As long as he makes a long pass, Martins can rush behind him in minutes. No one in our defense can stop him, let alone Adriano. Charging.”

"If the overall formation does not press forward, it is indeed difficult for us to effectively contain Inter Milan. They must play defensive counterattacks. Cooper is like an old turtle now, or an old turtle with many spikes on his shell. Then put your head in and let you hit me as you please."

"Haha, this is a good metaphor, but Cooper said it himself, this is called Sexy Inter."

"Sexy ass, a defensive counterattack is a defensive counterattack."

"We can no longer care about whether the opponent's tactics are reasonable or not, and whether they look good or not. The most important thing is how to crack their turtle shell. I think we should press them. It's a risk, and it's never possible. Just like Inter Milan, they also played smoothly and ended up with a score of 0-0, right?"

"In an unknown game in a big competition, if it really ends at 0-0, there's nothing we can do about it. It's better than losing, right?"

"The risk of pressing forward is indeed too great, but we cannot let Cambiaso organize it calmly. We all know his ability and we must not let him do this."

Everyone was talking to each other, and the meeting immediately turned into a brainstorming session, with everyone expressing their opinions.

In this back-and-forth verbal argument, many problems and possibilities were exposed one by one.

Paralles carefully recorded all the valuable speeches on the side, and finally compiled it into a summary of the meeting and sent it to the coaching staff group for everyone to think about it carefully.

Yang Hao basically stopped talking after that, because he knew very well that in this level of competition, the two teams he faced could be said to be the strongest teams in world football today.

Both offense and defense have reached a very high level.

Some people even say that in the Champions League semi-finals, it is not surprising whoever wins the championship among the four teams.

Let alone reaching the finals.

Inter Milan has the advantages of Inter Milan, but it also has its weaknesses.

For example, with Cordoba's height, if he could pass the ball above his head and let Drogba reach it, wouldn't he be able to score a goal?

But the problem is, you have to be able to create several such scenes in a 90-minute game.

what?
once?
Come on, who dares to say that he is always on target?

Every goal in a football match has a strong element of luck.

And Martins, this guy who can do four or five somersaults in one go, is really fast.

But the biggest headache is actually not Martins, but Adriano.

What Inter Milan is best at is using Martins to interfere with the defensive layout, and then letting Adriano rush.

This trick has been tried and tested.

Everyone knew they would fight like this, but they just couldn't prevent it.

Atletico Madrid can't press forward now. When they retreat, they feel useless and in a dilemma.

But this is the Champions League final.

Cooper is probably in a dilemma now. He also has to worry about whether he can stop Atletico Madrid's attack if he really retreats?
Whether it's Drogba or Torres, can they keep the goal?
The two wings of Reyes and Joaquin are not vegetarian, and Xabi Alonso's long pass is not paper.

Not to mention the back-breaking efforts of Evra and Maicon, as well as the threat of Lucio in corner kicks and free kicks.

the same.

As difficult as Atletico Madrid is now, Inter Milan will only be even more difficult!

This is the Champions League final.

Therefore, in Yang Hao's previous life, Guardiola would suddenly change his formation before the final, and this was the reason.

Everyone wants to find a way to minimize risks and defeat their opponents.

But when it comes to the Champions League final, how can there be such a way?
Those teams that can be easily killed by someone thinking of a way will never make it to the Champions League finals.

All decisions in the finals must be made by the head coach!

No one can share this matter.

……

This year's Champions League final was held at the Schalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

At noon the day before the game, Atletico Madrid took a special flight from Madrid to Dusseldorf Airport on the sponsor's Emirates Airline flight. At this time, Atletico Madrid's bus bound for Germany had been waiting there for a long time.

Every time he goes to an away game, Yang Hao has extremely high requirements for the team's accommodation conditions.

Especially the highest level competition like the Champions League final, Yang Hao attaches great importance to it.

Atletico Madrid had plenty of time to prepare this time.

Gelsenkirchen is not a big city in Germany, and the accommodation conditions are not particularly ideal.

There is a four-star hotel next to Schalke Stadium, but after Atletico Madrid inspected it, the feedback given to Yang Hao was not very satisfactory. Moreover, before and after the final, it would be very noisy there, and the quality of rest for the players could not be guaranteed.

In the end, after careful selection, Atletico Madrid chose a luxury hotel converted from a castle on the Ruhr River on the way to Essen on the A52 highway northeast of Dusseldorf Airport.

This castle has a long history and was converted into a hotel in the 50s.

The hotel's facilities are not very complete. For example, there is no gym, but there is a golf course, and there are only 36 rooms.

This time Yang Hao brought all the players who have played in the first team this season to Gelsenkirchen. Together with the coaches and staff of the first team, the lineup is also very large.

The 36 rooms were simply not enough for the first team, so Atletico Madrid had to book a country hotel next door to the Castle Hotel, so that they could barely accommodate the team.

As for club employees, sponsor representatives and invited guests, as well as the players' families and relatives and friends, they were all arranged in a luxury hotel in the center of Gelsenkirchen.

There's no way around that either.

Yang Hao hopes that the players can get better rest.

The team first arrived at the hotel and checked in. After packing their luggage and rooms, they headed to Schalke Stadium, a dozen kilometers north of Gelsenkirchen, in the afternoon for familiarization training.

Since the training is also open to the media, there is basically nothing to say.

In 2001, when the team played in the UEFA Cup final, they came to Dortmund and were basically familiar with the situation in Germany, so the players had no problem adapting.

After Yang Hao finished training, he attended UEFA's pre-match press conference, and he followed the procedure step by step, praising Inter Milan, praising Cooper, and then praising Adriano, Aurelio and Cambiaso. Waiting for a few former disciples and so on.

The only special thing was meeting Heynckes after the press conference.

The two had played against each other several times in La Liga before, and Yang Hao knew Heynckes' future achievements, so he made a special trip to make friends with him. Now that he is coaching Schalke 04, he came here to meet Yang Hao. .

"That guy Cooper was taught by Real Madrid in the first Champions League final. Now he is as stable as an old dog. You have to be careful." Heynckes suggested.

Yang Hao nodded, but did not reveal the specific tactics he would adopt.

There is really no need to talk about this kind of thing, and if I did, no one would be able to give me advice.

To put it bluntly, no matter how you fight, there are risks.

No one knows what will happen until the moment the winner is revealed in the game.

There’s that sentence again: anything is possible on the football field.

"Don't worry, we have been preparing for a long time!" Yang Hao said confidently.

Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are both competing for the Triple Crown, and no one will give in easily.

This is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers!
