Chapter 60 Kill Real Madrid and bring back the championship!
On the evening of May 5th, Stade de France in Paris, France.

Accompanied by Juanma Lillo, Yang Hao quietly appeared in the stands of the Champions League final and watched the game live.

The result is very interesting, the score is still 3-0, the scorers are still Morientes, McManaman and Raul, but the process and the order of goals are completely different from the previous life.

The first goal scorer was McManaman. Before the end of the first half, he hit a world wave from outside the penalty area and broke through Valencia's goal. It showed the true level of the star and rewrote the game. .

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Valencia pounced harder. As a result, Raul made a long-distance run and once again broke through Valencia's goal and further expanded the score.

In the end, it was Morientes' final word that directly killed the game.

After watching this game, Yang Hao fully felt the accident and inevitability of football matches.

The so-called inevitability is that Valencia will definitely lose.

This can be deduced from the formations of both sides and the tactics of the two head coaches.

The so-called accident is everything that happens to the players during the game, which changes anytime and anywhere.

This is actually the greatest charm of football.

If you ask Zidane to play in another hundred Champions League finals, he will not be able to replicate that extraordinary kick.

Therefore, it is inevitable for Real Madrid to defeat Valencia.

This is a kind of pressure for Atletico Madrid, because they are about to face the Champions League winner.

But there is also an advantage, that is, Real Madrid's physical exertion is very high, because the two sides fought until the last moment.

Valencia actually had a certain advantage throughout the game, but Real Madrid had more shots and the threat of shooting was greater.

The reason for this situation is simple. The Bat Legion took the initiative.

Cooper's team faced the iron wall of Real Madrid and once again exposed the weakness of the team's organization and passing ability.

Out of 11 shots, only 1 was on target. We can't talk about Lopez or Anguloteira, but it's hard for them to get a good chance. How can they pose a threat?

"This game fully demonstrated to us that it is very dangerous to play against the current Real Madrid and press forward!"

After watching the game, Yang Hao summarized his thoughts and feelings.

Juanma Lillo advocates high-position pressing and oppression, but after watching this game and listening to Yang Hao's words, he had to admit that this was indeed the case.

Because Real Madrid has accumulated a large number of players in the backcourt, almost 8 players are defending every time, and sometimes even 10 players form three lines to pursue and intercept Valencia.

However, the Bat Legion likes to advance layer by layer.

So, Valencia finally grabbed the ball, pushed forward step by step, and found that Real Madrid's defense had arrived.

"Ivan Helguera is a key player, but his strongest point is not individual defense, but his command of the defense and his play in the backcourt."

Helguera can play as a midfielder and central defender, but in the hands of Del Bosque, he is the middle one among the three central defenders.

Even when Hierro was there, he had to step aside.

Helguera's defensive ability is indeed not outstanding, but his consciousness is very good, and he has good ball-taking and passing abilities. He performed very well when facing Valencia's pressing pressure.

Helgra is so popular now. Who would have thought that in just two or three years, he would become a victim of the superstar strategy?

"With our strength, if we press forward and attack, we will probably die worse than Valencia." Yang Hao shook his head.

He is now more convinced of his views.

Cooper has already given him a demonstration in front, not to play like this against Real Madrid.

……

"Real Madrid played very conservatively in this game but relied on their stars in the frontcourt to win."

This was what the Argentinian said when Yang Hao saw Cooper outside the stadium locker room after the game.

Cooper still looked expressionless, a little indifferent, but his eyes were somewhat tired, revealing his mood at the moment and his disappointment after losing the final, but he looked particularly strong.

This is the second consecutive season that he has lost the European finals. Last season was the European Cup Winners' Cup final.

"If you didn't score a goal in the first 30 minutes, it would be very dangerous." Yang Hao said.

Cooper understood what Yang Hao meant.

Yang Hao is saying that if you can't score a goal in the first 30 minutes, you should be more conservative and simply retreat.

Cooper shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy. You can't retreat."

After a pause, the Argentinian gave a rare explanation.

"We unified our thinking before the game. Facing Real Madrid like this, there are only two ways in front of us, either to score earlier than the opponent, or to hold on to the end and wait for changes."

Yang Hao nodded, this is indeed the only way.

Real Madrid's stars have very strong personal abilities. Even if the combination of Morientes and Raul is placed in European football, it is one of the top offensive firepowers, and their cooperation is very harmonious and tacit.

"When we made up our minds to play against Real Madrid, we already showed an attitude. We must score earlier than Real Madrid, otherwise we will be very passive. But when we are on the court, we are unable to open up the situation. , it’s difficult for me to ask players to come back.”

"They are not robots. You can't say that if I let them attack, I will attack with full health and full fighting spirit. If I let them retreat, they will retreat with all their heart. Later, when I see the opportunity, I will let them attack again, and they will be resurrected with full health. It’s unrealistic that the ground is pressing down on us.”

Yang Hao understood what Cooper said.

Ultimately, Valencia lacked game control.

This kind of control is not only about controlling the ball, but also about controlling the rhythm and guiding teammates around him.

The most obvious example to illustrate this situation is Real Madrid in 2023.When Modric and Toni Kroos are on the court, everyone will feel that Real Madrid plays more methodically and with more control, but once the two veterans are away, Real Madrid will play a little uncontrollably.

Likewise, there is Benitez's Liverpool, with or without Xavi Alonso, they are two completely different teams.

The problem Cooper is facing now ultimately boils down to Valencia's lack of midfield control.

Atletico Madrid's current situation is actually similar, except that they have one more Belleron.

But when it comes to the Copa del Rey final, Belleron will definitely receive the most attention from Real Madrid, and Yang Hao will also have to make appropriate adjustments.

"You are indeed a little nervous tonight." Yang Hao comforted.

After all, it is the first time.

It doesn't matter, you will be "nervous" again next season.

"We lost, but I still want to advise you. When you make a decision, you must have absolute confidence in it. Otherwise, you will not be able to win against Real Madrid." Cooper warned seriously.

Whether as a head coach or as a senior, he is qualified to speak to Yang Hao like this.

Even if he lost this Champions League final.

"I know, thank you for the reminder, Hector." Yang Hao thanked him in a learned way.

……

"You know what, Juanma?"

On the plane back to Madrid from Paris, Yang Hao chatted with his assistant about the final.

"Cooper, like us, has seen Real Madrid's weaknesses. Del Bosque's team is very slow to get started. They rarely score before 30 minutes this season. In the first half hour, they always play a little chaotic."

"But their defense is really well organized."

Faced with this temptation, Cooper chose to take the initiative. As a result, he failed to score for 10 minutes and the team could not retreat.

So, he lost.

Yang Hao does not think that the attacking combination of Hasselbaink, Solari, Aguilera and Belleron will be better than the attacking combination of Lopez, Angulo, Kili Gonzalez, Fari The attacking combination of North and Mendieta is more powerful.

What Valencia can't do, Atletico Madrid can't do even less.

If this final was played a year later, and Yang Hao formed the team himself and polished it for another year, he would definitely be able to do better than Cooper.

But now, when you should give in, you have to give in, and when you should pretend to be a grandson, you have to pretend to be a grandson.

Isn't there a saying?

Every grandfather starts with his grandson.

"Then... defend?" Juanma Lillo suggested.

Yang Hao nodded, "Keep it, but you can't just stick to it."

"Yes, drag Real Madrid into a war of attrition, and then use your physical advantage to kill them!" Juanma Lillo said happily.

In professional sports, everyone on every team is making full use of their own advantages to defeat their opponents.

Real Madrid players are so strong, Atletico Madrid itself is at a disadvantage.

Now that the schedule is dominant, Real Madrid continues to fight, giving Atletico Madrid a chance. Why not take advantage of Yang Hao to stab him?

"It is important to pay attention to free kicks. Judging from this final, Bosque often practices set kicks."

Juanma Lillo nodded in agreement.

"Isn't it the Champions League champion? What labor and management are fighting for is the Champions League champion!" Yang Hao's heart was also burning.

……

After returning from France, Atletico Madrid began to invest in the final preparations.

The entire Mahadahonda is completely closed to the outside world. All media reporters and fans are prohibited from visiting. Security guards have even been arranged to patrol the outside of the training base to prevent Real Madrid scouts from spying on military intelligence.

Yang Hao and Juanma Lillo were in the training base behind closed doors to train Atletico Madrid players. At the same time, he also personally cut some of Real Madrid's matches this season and played them for the players to observe. , let them know more about Real Madrid's offensive routine, and when and how to press and press.

In Yang Hao's view, as long as Real Madrid's wings are suppressed, the offensive threat to the goal will be much smaller.

In addition, Yang Hao also repeatedly told Belleron and Baraja to pay attention to midfield suppression and control the situation and the rhythm of the game.

"We have to play fast, use fast pace to wear down our opponents and bring down Real Madrid!" This is a blatant conspiracy by Yang Hao.

But at the same time, he also reminded his players that Real Madrid is likely to take the initiative this time because they cannot afford it.

Therefore, you must also be prepared to be defensive at the beginning.

Finally, the team not only practiced the offense and defense of corner kicks and free kicks, but even penalty kicks.

Yang Hao also specially collected statistics and data on the habits and data of Real Madrid players taking penalty kicks, and handed them all to Molina, so that he would be more confident when taking penalty kicks.

At the same time, the penalty saving data of Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas is also listed. In fact, there are not many. Casillas has just made his debut and has not even entered the national team. However, Yang Hao combined his impressions from his previous life and ranked Casillas. Si's weaknesses and deficiencies were all revealed to the players.

In a word, in this game, he will use all means to kill Real Madrid!

"I want you to help me bring back the King's Cup champion!"
