Go score!coach

Chapter 251 Let’s advance to the finals!You will become a legend! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

"Look at Atletico's attack from the left."

"Evra passes the ball to Robben."

"Zanetti got back into position, Robben had no chance and passed back."

"Iniesta got the ball, took it forward, and passed it to the top of the arc."

"Kaka quickly moved forward, stopped the ball with his chest, turned around, and hit the goal with his kick!!"

"The ball has been scored!"

"Kaka!!!"

"Atletico Madrid surpassed the score again!"

"2 to 1!"

"A very good goal from Kaká."

"In the 74th minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid scored again!"

“It’s really beautiful!”

"Look at the slow-motion replay, Kaka jumped up, stopped the ball with his chest, didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, turned around, and took off his feet directly."

"The movements are very smooth and beautiful!"

"This is Kaka!"

"Inter Milan's style of play tonight really fully unleashed Kaká's technical characteristics!"

"If Cooper still adopts the strict defensive tactics of the past, Kaká will be restrained. But now, Inter Milan has completely let go and adopted an open attack tactics with Atletico Madrid."

"It should be said that this is very suitable for Kaka's performance!"

"This is Inter Milan's coach Cooper. He still looks very depressed. He gave Atletico Madrid two away goals in the home game. He probably wants to say, you have been scolding me for being conservative and for playing well. It doesn’t look good. Now I listen to you. What’s the result? Haha..."

"I have to admit that Cooper played very bravely in this game, especially in the first half, which was very targeted."

"In the entire first half, Atletico Madrid did not create any good ideas, but in the second half, Yang Hao adjusted his tactics and directly played against Inter Milan without controlling the ball. He grabbed the ball and played directly."

"So, the second half was very nice to watch, very intense."

"But there were a lot of mistakes on both sides."

"Just now Adriano completed a steal in the frontcourt. He dribbled the ball to the outside of Atletico Madrid's penalty area and scored a goal for Inter Milan to equalize the score."

"Now, Kaká also scores a goal for Atletico Madrid."

“This game is truly a star-studded competition!”

……

With Kaka's goal, Inter Milan once again launched a wave of attacks.

Especially in the 67th minute, Figo, who came on as a substitute for Solari, was very active on the right.

Not long after Kaka scored the second goal, Figo tried to dribble the ball on the right and passed it into the penalty area to find Adriano, but was cleared early.

When Atletico Madrid began to stop controlling the rhythm and began to play more directly, the playing style of both sides was in a state of unrestrained play.

In the 82nd minute, when Atletico Madrid's Evra was pressing Figo on the left, Xabi Alonso in the center stole the ball passed to Veron and handed it to Iniesta.

Xiaobai caught the ball with his back and passed the ball crosswise to Kaka.

Kaka stopped the ball and directly shook off Cambiaso. It was done in one go, very beautiful.

After passing the ball, Kaka rushed forward with the ball, quickly reached the edge of the penalty area, and when he was about to pass the ball to Drogba, he suddenly distributed the ball to the right.

Torres, who had just replaced Messi, quickly got rid of Favalli. When receiving the ball, he used his speed to rush past Nesta. He kicked the goal from the right side of the small penalty area and sent the ball into the Inter Milan goal.

3 is better than 1!

The entire Meazza stadium was silent!
All Inter Milan fans are clearly aware that behind their accusations of Cooper's conservatism is actually the fact that Inter Milan's player lineup simply lacks competitiveness in the Champions League.

When top teams like Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid faced off head-to-head, they simply couldn't survive the half.

If it weren't for the intimidation of a super center like Adriano from the front, they would definitely lose even more miserably tonight.

……

When the referee blew the final whistle, Atletico Madrid players cheered.

After Yang Hao high-fived his assistants one by one, he happened to see Cooper walking over and greeted him.

"You guys are so brave tonight." Yang Hao joked with a smile.

Atletico Madrid has met Inter Milan in the Champions League for several consecutive seasons, and they are very familiar with each other.

Even Yang Hao himself was a little tired of aesthetics.

Sometimes, he really wants to open the UEFA lottery balls and take a look at them to see if there are really no tricks in them, and if they are really as open, fair and just as they say.

What nonsense!

When I wrote a book in my previous life, I didn’t dare to make it up like this, okay?

It feels like it was deliberately designed by UEFA to create a strong dialogue.

Or it should be said that it is to create some difficulties for Atletico Madrid.

But no matter what, Yang Hao has passed the test now.

"We actually did quite well in the first half, but we conceded the goal a little early in the second half. When Adriano scored, we should have considered closing it in."

At this point, Cooper shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Sometimes, football matches are like this, they change quickly.

No one knows what will happen if Inter Milan slows down its pace and stabilizes its defense after a draw.

Yang Hao can also say, after I stabilize myself, I will switch to the pass-and-cut style in the first half. Maybe you will lose even more miserably.

But that's how it is.

Always after failure, I feel that the decision I made was wrong.

And few people would think that maybe that is already the optimal solution.

"It's okay, you still have another round." Yang Hao laughed and joked.

Cooper is depressed now.

Yang Hao made a few insidious remarks to Cooper, basically asking him if anything special had happened in Italian football recently, but Cooper shook his head strangely.

Nothing special, just the same.

Serie A has been difficult these years. All teams are under great pressure and salary cuts are happening everywhere.

Inter Milan is relatively good, and Father Mo is still very ethical in this regard and is willing to give money.

But don't even think about making a big move in terms of transfer.

"However, Massimo did talk to me about Messi some time ago. He likes Messi playing football very much."

Cooper made it clear that he wanted to disgust Yang Hao.

"For 3 million euros, tell Father Mo that if he is willing to give it, I will sell it!"

Yang Hao's expression when he said this was one of sarcasm.

Yes, 3 million, can you afford it?

Cooper knew that he had provoked Yang Hao's anger, so he immediately said nothing more.

If Father Mo can get 3 million euros now, will Inter Milan still have such a miserable life?
There is only one month left until May. From what Cooper said, there is no rumor at all.

But now the entire situation in Serie A is indeed very serious, and every team is under high pressure.

The aura of the Mini World Cup is gone. The Italian economy is in such a slump, the star loss is serious, the income of various clubs has dropped sharply, most clubs are cutting salaries, and the players are full of resentment.

Maybe someone will ask.

Then why not transfer and leave?
Who doesn't want to?

But cross-border transfers are not that easy.

It's really not like fans playing FM Football Manager, which can be done with just one click of the mouse.

Moreover, a common phenomenon among Italian teams is that the transfer fee is not low and the salary is not cheap.

In the past few years, when the Roma duo wanted to compete for the championship, the salaries offered were really not low, and the overall transfer fees in Serie A were also very high.

To use an analogy, it’s like if a team in the middle of La Liga now sells a player for a starting price of 3000 to [-] million euros. Can you believe it?

Therefore, the current Serie A players really cannot afford it or use it.

As for leading stars like Pirlo, Shevchenko and Totti, teams such as AC Milan and Roma are afraid to let them go.

If you let it go, you won't be able to buy people, and your overall strength will collapse.

Just like Inter Milan.

Now that Adriano is still there to support them, at least they can compete for the Serie A championship every year and maintain a certain degree of competitiveness. If they make a fortune in the Champions League, life won't be too difficult.

But if Adriano leaves, where will Inter Milan buy a successor?

By that time, the Nerazzurri will be finished.

Without Adriano, just Inter Milan's lineup, want to enter the top 8?
Let's have a big spring and autumn dream!
AC Milan was the same in its previous life, offering Kaka the world's highest salary and vowing to keep Kaká.

And Yang Hao suddenly remembered something.

He decided to give Cerezo a call.

……

When Atletico Madrid defeated Inter Milan 3-1 on the road, Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0 at home.

Deschamps has played for Juventus for many years. This time he led Real Madrid to defeat the Bianconeri, which can be regarded as "repaying" the years of cultivation by his old club, which made the Bianconeri fans very dissatisfied.

Barcelona defeated Benfica 1-0 away from home, with Henry scoring the winning goal.

What is more surprising is that Villarreal defeated AC Milan 1-0 at home.

In Yang Hao's previous life, the Yellow Submarine reached the Champions League semi-finals this season, but at that time the team had players such as Diego Forlan and Marcos Senna.

Now because of the emergence of Yang Hao, Diego Forlan is at Chelsea, and Marcos Senna is at Manchester United, the overall strength of the Yellow Submarine has been affected. Yang Hao originally thought he would not appear again.

Unexpectedly, Pellegrini's team still left an extremely deep impression on people.

Riquelme performed very well in this game.

Of course, AC Milan is not as good as before.

Kaká is in Atletico Madrid and Nesta is in Inter Milan. As far as the current strength of the Rossoneri is concerned, it is almost the same as Villarreal.

Speaking of Yellow Submarine, this is another team from a small city.

Villarreal is a small city about 65 kilometers north of Valencia, with a population of just over 5. There are no big cities around, just scattered small towns.

Many fans probably don't know that Villarreal's chairman is Fernando Roig, and he is a brother of Francisco Roig, the former chairman of Valencia.

The Roig family operates the retail and ceramic tile industries in Spain. The three brothers are all very rich in Spain.

But unlike Francisco Roig, Fernando Roig's management at Villarreal can really be regarded as a model of traditional European football clubs.

Sometimes Yang Hao really feels that La Liga in his previous life was really rubbish.

Hoffenheim came out of the Bundesliga and got a lot of hype. Villarreal came out in La Liga, but they couldn't even brag about it.

Villarreal's story is certainly not as legendary as Hoffenheim's, but the ceiling is high.

When Fernando Roig took over in 97, the team was still struggling in Segunda División. In the next few years, he did nothing but focus on youth training and invested a lot of money in youth training and building youth training. base.

In this way, he gathered all the footballing kids from surrounding towns, used youth training to integrate into the community, and then used culture to attract more fans from surrounding areas to the Love Song Stadium.

Therefore, Villarreal only has 5 people, and the capacity of Love Song Stadium is more than 2, but the attendance rate is still very high.

In the 1-0 home victory over AC Milan, 23000 people attended the stadium, and it was a full house!

In recent years, in Spanish football, it is recognized that the teams with the best youth training, in addition to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​are followed by teams such as Villarreal and Malaga.

In terms of signings, Villarreal's caution can also be seen.

Fernando Roig is very rich, but it is all in business. Unlike Francisco Roig who uses his brains on Valencia, he just sticks to Villarreal, playing it slow and step-by-step.

I didn’t invest much, I just lived within my means and climbed up one step a year.

Yang Hao once talked with Villarreal's football director Antonio Cordo and technical director Paquito at an event.

Paquito followed Fernando Roig to Villarreal in 97. Paquito, now 68 years old, told Yang Hao that their goal from the beginning was to follow the Latin style.

why?
Because it is cheap!

South American players are cheap.

And this style suits La Liga very well.

This style would not survive in the Premier League or Serie A, but it can in La Liga.

In this way, they accumulated step by step, and now, they are finally bearing fruit.

Many people will think that it was Pellegrini who led Villarreal to complete the transformation, and this is indeed true.

But Pellegrini himself is part of Villarreal's transformation and even upgrade.

Riquelme too.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Villarreal was later demoted.

This incident also attracted Yang Hao's attention at the time. The main reason was the metabolism of the team's lineup at that time, and the trigger was that top scorer Giuseppe Rossi was seriously injured early in the season and directly missed the entire season.

For a team like Villarreal, if the main scorer is seriously injured and misses the entire season, the impact is very, very big.

Because they don't have the financial resources to have two scorers like Giuseppe Rossi.

But before Yang Hao crossed over, Villarreal once again reached the Champions League semi-finals under Emery's coaching.

The chairman of Yellow Submarine is still Fernando Roig.

Therefore, Yang Hao also has a very high evaluation of this team.

He was even looking forward to something.

Judging from this season's Champions League schedule, after Atletico Madrid advances to the semi-finals, their opponent will be the winner of Real Madrid and Juventus.

If Villarreal advances to the semi-finals, they will face Barcelona.

Yang Hao is looking forward to it. Can Riquelme overthrow Barcelona?
If possible, it will definitely be a very legendary battle!
At the same time, the combination of a team from a small town like Villarreal and a player like Riquelme will bring a Latin American style of football that will definitely make people's eyes shine!
Perhaps, by then, Pellegrini will have achieved greater success than Yang Hao in his previous life.

Because Yang Hao has always felt that the Chilean engineer is really an excellent head coach.

……

Yang Hao led the team back to Madrid from Milan, Italy.

At noon the next day, Cerezo, Junior Hill and Antonio Ponte arrived at Mahadajonda together.

Players are not surprised by this. La Liga often visits Atletico Madrid for inspections and visits.

But this time after they arrived, they went directly to Yang Hao's office.

The main reason was that Yang Hao was in Italy before. After chatting with Cooper, he suddenly remembered something and felt it was necessary to tell Antonio Ponte, so he asked Cerezo to convey it.

Unexpectedly, he came to the door the next day.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that La Liga is also in Madrid.

Yang Hao has previously made a suggestion to La Liga through Cerezo, which is to conduct background checks on all foreign investors.

La Liga is doing this.

But Yang Hao thought of the experience of the Serie A team, so he thought of another question.

Debt and acquisition funding regulatory issues within La Liga.

Yang Hao first started with the current situation in Serie A.

Now, the entire European football world is in debt, and no league is immune, including the Premier League.

The Premier League has never gotten rid of debt, they have just been acquired by foreign capital.

Serie A's current debt is a bad debt that cannot be divided clearly.

So are La Liga and the Premier League.

Yang Hao has seen in his previous life that many foreign investors acquired Premier League clubs, only to find that the debt was much larger than the figures previously announced by the clubs.

But at this time, the acquisition has been completed, and there is no way to rely on it.

Things like this that deceive investors are not uncommon in the Premier League.

But the current situation in La Liga is even more chaotic.

How messy is it?

Many, or even most, teams in La Liga cannot even produce financial statements now.

Francisco Roig was mentioned before. Why did such a rich man give up on Valencia in the end?

Because he pointed out that Valencia's debt is much higher than the figure announced at the shareholders' meeting, and the actual debt exceeds 2 million euros.

Then the club management calculated all the income from the next year and the year after that, such as sponsorship fees, etc., to this year in advance, reducing the debt.

Of course, Francisco Roig is not a good bird either.

None of these businessmen are simple.

Why did he want to expose it?
Because he wants to take over Valencia.

Later, when he found that he could no longer take over, he took the opportunity to sell his Valencia shares at a high price to the current chairman Soler, making a large sum of money and leaving.

"I am still very impressed. After Amancio Ortega took over Deportivo, he calculated an account for all of us. He said, how many people are there in Deportivo and what is the capacity of the Riazor Stadium? Super Depor has reached its limit."

This incident attracted considerable attention at the time.

Yang Hao was particularly impressed because he found that Amancio Ortega's calculation method was very primitive and rough, but it hit the nail on the head.

The local market is always fundamental!No football club can survive without a local market.

"I specifically took a look at the ranking of the richest people in Spain. I found that almost all the rich people in Spain have played football. Except for the top two, the next richest people are like the Roig brothers, who are worth several billion, and they are all engaged in industry."

Is a net worth of several hundred million euros a lot?
many.

But anyone who has worked in industry knows that they simply cannot afford much money to play football.

Amancio Ortega is the most capable of burning cash, but just look at his pragmatic attitude after acquiring Deportivo La Coruna.

There is also Fernando Roig. They are very economical and their investment is probably a few million per year. At most, they will invest 5000 to [-] million in a few years to find a way for the club to survive on its own as soon as possible.

Yang Hao is not saying that this kind of boss is not good.

On the contrary, he thinks this kind of boss is very good, and the more of them the better.

But how many bosses like them are there in Spain?
They are already the richest people in Spain!

What Yang Hao wants to express is that the current situation in La Liga is already very serious.

In Yang Hao's previous life, in the next few years, wage arrears leading to strikes and league suspensions will become the most beautiful scenery in La Liga.

Of course, the situation has improved now due to the bundled sales of broadcast rights, but it is still not optimistic.

La Liga's strategy is to introduce foreign investment.

Because Spain’s market is so big, with a large population and a good local market, it cannot support the entire La Liga globalization strategy.

Yang Hao believes that this is right.

But before introducing foreign investment, financial supervision must be done well.

Otherwise, who would be willing to acquire your clubs that can’t even produce financial statements?

More importantly, with the current situation in La Liga, if it is not rectified, it will be like Serie A in the future.

"Antonio, you are from a financial background, so you must know better than me how important this is."

Antonio Ponte has realized this before.

Even when La Liga hired him, they valued his ability in this area.

"Also, I think both Spain and La Liga welcome foreign investment with both hands, but the question is, who will supervise foreign investment? Background checks, capital flows, etc. This requires a set of regulations. It is best to invite international Having an authoritative accounting firm take charge is very convincing."

In Yang Hao's previous life, the Premier League was very shrewd in this area, and La Liga was not worthy of giving him shoes.

There will also be many cases of debt concealment in the Premier League, but for all acquisitions, all funds must be received before the ownership begins to be transferred. Only after the transfer can investors take over the team.

There are no regulations in this regard in La Liga now. In Yang Hao's previous life, there were even funny things about installment payments.

That is to say, I will draw a big pie for you first, give you a down payment, take over the team first, and then slowly pay the balance.

Isn't this funny?
In fact, the Premier League has also suffered the loss of a white wolf with nothing, when the Glazer family acquired Manchester United.

But now it has changed.

Yang Hao suddenly remembered this time that he wanted to remind Antonio Ponte that he must pay attention to it.

Only when the funds are received will you be eligible to take over the team.

Therefore, even if the investors of the Premier League discovered that the debt had been concealed and the money was given to them, they could only break their teeth and swallow the blood.

Of course, Yang Hao's opinion is that debts must be rectified.

At the very least, you must be able to produce a financial statement issued by a formal accounting firm. Otherwise, who will believe you?

Investors are not fools!

And more importantly, the messier you are, the easier it is for someone to take advantage of you.

In Yang Hao's previous life, small and medium-sized teams in La Liga were deceived. I don't know how many times I saw this in the newspapers.

The most famous one is the acquisition of Getafe by a Dubai consortium. Getafe was defrauded of 2 euros. The chairman of Getafe believed it was true. Here it was officially announced to the whole world, and there he even flew to Dubai to meet the so-called sheikh. He still believed it. I was suspicious, but later I found out that the sheikh was pretending to be a Brazilian restaurant waiter, and the fee was 50 euros.

This kind of thing is too outrageous!
The damage to La Liga's image is very bad.

Any capable investor, seeing this situation, would he dare to come?
In the final analysis, it is caused by unprofessionalism and the lack of a complete set of mature processes and supervision mechanisms.

"We have noticed what you mentioned before and are trying to catch it, but there are so many things going on and it's a bit messy." Antonio Ponte frowned.

Of course Yang Hao knows.

It sounds a bit messy, but in reality?
It's just that those clubs are not cooperating.

For many small and medium-sized teams, doesn’t rectifying debts require them to report the most realistic financial situation?
Isn't this killing them?
But if you don’t do this, investors will never believe you.

Therefore, many people ask, why is the Premier League so expensive, but so many people are willing to invest?
La Liga is obviously very cheap, but why are investors reluctant to come?

The answer is here.

During Yang Hao's previous life, La Liga was much more powerful than the Premier League, which was a very good opportunity.

Now too.

Seizing this opportunity and making up our mind to rectify it will be of great benefit to the healthy development of the entire league.

If Yang Hao was just a head coach, he would not pay attention to these things at all.

But now that he is Atletico Madrid's major shareholder, he must also consider his own interests and the interests of Atletico Madrid.

"You La Liga are currently holding the share of the league's broadcast rights, as well as the league sponsorship fees from other major sponsors. I don't believe it. You really want to push it, but you still can't solve this matter?" Yang Hao used A provocative move.

After all, Antonio Ponte doesn't want to offend people.

But Yang Hao's meaning is also very clear, you La Liga must do this.

Someone scolded?
It's a good thing. If you are hired to manage the league, half of the money will be the scolding!
We all want to be good people, so what do you want me to do?
It would be better to go back to the old days when everyone was in charge and save a lot of money.

Cerezo and Xiao Hill finally understood that this matter really had to be done.

La Liga is developing well, and everyone benefits.

Right now, reorganizing debts is like cutting off flesh. Everyone feels pain and no one wants to do it.

"Antonio, I think Yang has a point!"

Cerezo was determined. He took the lead in reforms last time, which gave him a sharp increase in prestige and tasted the benefits.

This time, he decided to take the lead, too.

"In this way, you should seize the time to come up with a plan. In the past few days, I have gone to various clubs to find out, discussed with several clubs, and reached a tacit understanding first. As long as I can win the support of some clubs, then things will be easy to handle. .”

Cerezo is the chairman of the La Liga Board of Directors. He has said this. What else can Antonio Ponte say.

This job is bound to offend people.

Even in the eyes of many club owners, this is La Liga taking advantage of the broadcast rights income and sponsorship fees to manipulate them.

Being scolded is considered a light thing.

But what Yang Hao said makes sense.

"Okay, I'll try my best to push it." Antonio Ponte agreed.

But Yang Hao was still dissatisfied and corrected him: "Don't try your best, be determined, and you must succeed!"

Antonio Ponte nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

……

On November 4, the 2th round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid hosts Celta Vigo.

This newly promoted team has performed well this season, ranking 7th in La Liga so far, and their results are amazing.

The two sides fought hard for more than an hour at the Calderon Stadium until the 71st minute.

Messi, who came on as a substitute, dribbled the ball from the right and made continuous passes. He broke into the penalty area before the baseline and was blocked from the baseline, giving Atletico Madrid a chance for a corner kick.

In the melee in the penalty area, Ramos suddenly threw away the defensive player, rushed to the front point, jumped high, headed the goal, and the football hit the right side of the goal.

"The ball has been scored!!!"

"Ramos!"

The entire Calderon Stadium was boiling instantly.

Yang Hao also cheered excitedly in front of the home team's coaching bench and clapped for Ramos.

"Well done, Sergio!"

The knife-wielding defender in his previous life is finally beginning to show his prowess.

It's not easy!
The goal this kid scored is really beautiful.

Whether it was the previous movement or the high-jumping header afterwards, it was really exciting!

After Ramos scored, Atletico Madrid continued to attack.

In the 82nd minute, Messi once again dribbled the ball into the penalty area, passed three opposing defenders, and scored from the right rib, giving Atletico Madrid another victory.

2 is better than 0!

Celta Vigo's physical fitness is starting to fail!

All the fans in the audience were cheering for Messi.

Yang Hao signaled the team to continue to increase their offensive intensity.

In the 88th minute, Messi dribbled the ball from the right, causing a foul and a free kick!

In the penalty area, Torres shook his head and hit the goal, giving Atletico Madrid another victory.

3 is better than 0!

In the end, Atletico Madrid won 3-0 against Celta Vigo with goals from Ramos, Messi and Torres.

In another focus game of this round, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Barcelona away from home.

Ronaldinho scored a goal, but Ronaldo equalized the score.

This was also something that surprised Yang Hao.

Deschamps actually reconciled with Ronaldo.

Real Madrid is now fighting on two fronts, and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Raul are not enough.

Moreover, Raul is not the kind of striker who can stand alone.

In this case, the reconciliation between Deschamps and Ronaldo guaranteed Real Madrid's entire frontcourt offense.

1-1, Barcelona tied with Real Madrid at home.

Deschamps' defense is getting better and better.

……

April 4, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Atletico Madrid faces Inter Milan at home.

After winning 3-1 in the away game, there is not much suspense when returning to the home court.

But Yang Hao still didn't dare to be careless and still played with the main lineup.

Cooper confidently adopted iron-barreled tactics this time, allowing Atletico Madrid to attack, while Inter Milan focused on counterattacks, so the game was very ugly.

Cooper's 4231 tactics held pretty well at Calderon Stadium.

Atletico Madrid strictly followed Yang Hao's arrangements, firmly grasping the ball, slowly grinding against the opponent, constantly wearing down the opponent, and patiently looking for and creating opportunities.

Messi continued to start this game, but what made Yang Hao funny was that the Argentinian who told Yang Hao before the game that he must kill Favalli did not meet Favalli again this time, but met another person. An opponent that gave him even more headaches.

Cordoba.

This Colombian defender is really more difficult to deal with than Favalli.

He is not tall, his body is very flexible, and he moves quickly with his feet. The key is that he is a right-footed player and has a good way of defending Messi's incision.

Obviously, Cooper arranged it this way on purpose.

Cordoba focuses on Messi, Materazzi and Nesta partner as double central defenders, plus Zanetti.

Don’t say anything, just ask, is this defense good?
It was really unbreakable, so Atletico Madrid adopted a drag-and-drop strategy, taking advantage of passing and ball control to slowly defeat Inter Milan.

The first half ended in a 0-0 draw.

But in the second half, as the game time went by, especially the physical exertion, Inter Milan's disadvantage on the field became more and more obvious.

It was not until the 68th minute that Inter Milan finally revealed a flaw.

After Robben pulled away Zanetti on the left, Kaka made a cross from the front of the penalty area, and Iniesta sent a through ball. Evra crossed into the left side of the penalty area at great speed and shot far with his left foot from the front of the small penalty area. horn.

The ball passed through Toldo's crotch and went straight into the Inter Milan goal!
At this moment, Yang Hao really had some doubts.

Should this kid really play forward?
But soon, he vetoed the idea.

Evra is getting better and better on the left, so how can he play forward?
With his size and technical characteristics, he is a bit weak as a winger, let alone a forward.

Therefore, he should just keep working on his promising job as a left back!
……

When the knockout rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals were over, media and fans around the world were in a frenzy.

Atletico Madrid defeated Inter Milan 1-0 at home with Evra's goal and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Real Madrid, which is in the same half zone as Atletico Madrid, also narrowly eliminated Juventus and joined Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.

Villarreal drew with AC Milan 0-0 away from home and successfully qualified for the semi-finals.

Not to mention Barcelona, ​​which defeated Benfica 3-0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals.

The Champions League semi-finals were defeated by a La Liga team!

This time the entire European football world exploded!

Everyone knows that La Liga has been very strong in recent years, but last season the two Premier League teams met in the final, which many people thought was a signal of the rise of the Premier League.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, all the Premier League teams were now in the top 16, and the semi-finals turned into a civil war in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid met Real Madrid and staged a Madrid derby.

Villarreal meets Barcelona, ​​and Riquelme faces his old club.

These two duels are really interesting.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are the two teams with the largest lineups in world football today, and both sides are filled with superstars.

According to the media, this is the game with the most Golden Balls in history, and it is also the most luxurious fight in the world!
As for Villarreal and Barcelona, ​​this is also full of gimmicks.

Almost everyone who watches Riquelme play will not doubt that this guy is a genius.

But such a universally recognized genius cannot play in Barcelona.

Some people say that Riquelme is very slow and not suitable for the style of modern football.

But in Villarreal, with the tactics tailored for him by Pellegrini, Riquelme played like a fish in water and became one of the best players in Europe this past season. .

Some even say that if Villarreal can win the Champions League in an upset, Riquelme will be a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

Many people also believe that this is a victory for pure football!
Riquelme and Villarreal cannot find a single superstar in their team. They are all a group of players who are not well-known in European football. The biggest one is Riquelme, and then the former Atletico Madrid golden boy He Sai Mari.

Oh, there are also Argentine international Solin and Italian midfielder Tacchinati on loan from Juventus.

what about others?

Basically not famous.

But just such a team, just such a group of players, managed to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Marca even believes that Pellegrini is recreating the history created by Cooper when he led Valencia.

What is paradoxical is that although Barcelona obviously has more stars, including Ronaldinho, Henry, Eto'o and other stars, there are still many people supporting Villarreal.

Not only the fans, but Yang Hao himself was also looking forward to seeing Villarreal defeat Barcelona.

It's a very strange feeling.

Watching Villarreal play, watching Riquelme play, it was really special.

Yang Hao will not roughly divide classical and modern. Riquelme simply does not conform to the current trend of European football.

But as a fan, Yang Hao really likes to see Villarreal and Riquelme take practical actions to tell everyone and the world that I am not in line with the trend. What's wrong?
Why does football have to be trendy?
Why do all teams have to play that damn style?
Why can't the attacking midfielder be someone like Riquelme?

If football all over the world follows this trend, wouldn’t it be the same?
So what fun is there in football?
Yang Hao really thought so.

So he made a special call to Pellegrini to congratulate him on successfully advancing to the semi-finals.

"Congratulations, I hope you will work harder and try to kill Barcelona too!"

"and then?"

"Then, we will meet in the final, and I want to win this championship!"

Pellegrini laughed and cursed directly on the phone.

After the joke, Yang Hao said sincerely: "I really like your kind of football. If you have a chance, come on!"

"Thank you!"

With Yang Hao's current status, making this phone call is already the greatest affirmation for Pellegrini and the Villarreal he coached.

As for whether he can defeat Barcelona, ​​Yang Hao is not sure.

But one thing is for sure.

To reach the semi-finals, Villarreal and Riquelme have already succeeded!

They have proven themselves to the world.

Especially Riquelme.

Yang Hao also sincerely hopes that Riquelme can make up for the penalty kick that he failed to score in his previous life!

　Sorry, the update is late!It’s embarrassing to say it. I actually finished writing it when I was around 17, but I never checked for typos. When I was looking up information, I watched some Villarreal games that season and didn’t notice the time. I forgot... Sorry, sorry !It’s the beginning of the month, so I’m begging for a guaranteed monthly ticket!Thank you! !
