As a fan in his previous life, Leon watched a lot of Villarreal games, and he had the impression that Villarreal's opponents rarely formed a single knife, and there were few opportunities to shoot from a distance in front of the penalty area, which highlighted Senna's superb defense. Senna also has a knack for long-range shots and long balls, with the only downside being that the pass is sometimes too steady, resulting in a slightly slower tempo of the ball.

"Senna's defensive coverage is positive!"

"However, he also has a drawback, which is that he is very stable in passing, so he is a little slower in the pace of the ball!" Leon said, watching Carlos, the game against Villarreal, Senna and Carlos as the midfield barrier of the two teams, their performance will determine the results of their respective teams to a certain extent.

"Their midfielder Hosiko is the quintessential Basque midfielder in La Liga, with excellent passing and ball protection, a strong sense of rhythm, and a good sense of positioning and helping to defend defensively. ”

"However, Hosco's one-on-one and interception ability is slightly worse!"

"If Hosco doesn't start, Tacchinati might start!"

"Tacchinaati has a lot of coverage, and his strong body and reasonable fouls are all in the box!"

"This guy has a great ability to shoot from a distance!" Leon said of Tacinati with a smile and said to the players, "Javier should be no stranger to Tacinati. ”

Zanetti nodded, Tacinati had played against them too many times in Serie A before, and they were familiar with the characteristics of this player.

***********

Subsequently, Leon highlighted Argentine player Sorin.

Sorin's position in Villarreal is very interesting, he is nominally a left-sided midfielder, but in fact he is in charge to help protect the middle when defending.

'When Arua Barina assists, Thorin's sometimes drops back to left-back to protect it, so when we counter-attack, we have to pay attention to that!'

Not only is Sorin an excellent defender, but when Villarreal are attacking, he often rushes to the front line, acting as a striker and covering Forlan behind him.

Of course, his role in defense is obvious to all, and the offensive response and pulling give Riquelme a lot of options and space to play the ball, and his high fighting spirit and iron-blooded character are also great encouragement to this yellow submarine, so although Alvarez is the captain of Villarreal, Rickles is the most important player of Villarreal, but Sorin is the spiritual leader of this team.

***********

There is no doubt that Riquelme's presence is the most critical factor in the rise of the submarines, and his presence has enabled Villarreal to play the 4312 with him as the core, tight zone defense when defending and patience on the ball when attacking, which is a kind of super control style of play.

Defensively-oriented Villarreal was able to breathe under every attack of the opposition, relying on Riquelme's superb possession of the ball, opening up the situation in every stalemate, relying on Riquelme's flash of inspiration, and his time at Villarreal, which was also Riquelme's best time in Europe, he was the heart of this team.

"For Riquelme, press him hard!"

"However, Riquelme has excellent possession of the ball, rarely concedes the ball, but will use the pressure on him, draw the attention of the opponent's defense, and then send a lethal pass, so I ask that when someone presses Riquelme, the other players should be vigilant! Don't give them a chance!" said Leon very seriously.

"Beware of Fran!" Leon then motioned to his assistant Banderas to play the clip.

"Kill him!"

"Don't give him a chance to get the ball comfortably!"

Forlan was mediocre at Manchester United, but he was confident in La Liga, the Uruguayan striker showed superb shooting skills, the left and right feet were very balanced, and the way of shooting was endless, of course, there were a lot of wasted opportunities, but the state was quite stable, and he and Riquelme also cooperated tacitly.

He has scored a lot of goals in the league this season, but he has not scored many goals in the Champions League, mainly because of the tight marking of his opponents, but Forlan's presence has kept a lot of defensive strength in the opposition team. You have to be vigilant with this striker, and in Leon's memory, it was Forlan's goal that knocked Inter out of the tournament by Villarreal due to a lack of away goals.

Villarreal's other striker is Jose Mari.

Jose Mari became famous very early, in the 1999/2000 season has played the main team in Atletico Madrid, in the 2000 Olympics he was also a member of the Spanish team, but then went to Milan at a high price, but never played at the level of La Liga, occasional performance made him lose the main position, Li Ang was more impressed with him only in the Champions League against Barcelona in the 3-3 game, Jose Mari scored twice.

However, his performance has picked up since returning to La Liga, and in the 2005/2006 season he played at a high level, his active running in front of the court and carrying the ball with his back to relieve a lot of the team's defensive pressure, although he did not score many goals and limited ability to take chances, but he almost always ran the most, even surpassing the notoriously good runner Sorrin.

The Inter Milan players felt the importance of the manager for Villarreal as an opponent, because Leon's tactical analysis meeting was very detailed, even extremely detailed, which had only happened when he had a few opponents such as Juventus and AC Milan.

Feeling Leon's attitude, the players of Inter Milan have put away their contempt for this dark horse in La Liga, and they dare to be careless about the team that their manager attaches so much importance to.

***********

29 March 2006, Milan, Meazza Stadium.

With the whistle of referee Angela Merkel, the first leg of the 2005/2006 UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between Inter Milan and Villarreal began.

Leon sat in the dugout, staring at the stadium.

It was his first time playing against a La Liga side since leaving Sporting Gijón.

He and Villarreal's manager Manuel Pellegrini are no strangers.

Pellegrini for the submarine to develop the tactics is actually very simple, but to really achieve free and tacit understanding takes a long time to hone, the team mainly relies on the dense defense in the middle, active pressing, the three lines are closely linked, compress the opponent's offensive space, try to compress the opponent's ball to the side, let them start the ball, the central defender actively fights for the first point, the back actively protects the second point in front of the penalty area, the back waist breaks the ball first to hold the ball steady, looking for Riquelme or Forlan and Mali in front, not in a hurry to play a fast attack, unless it is a very good opportunity, and then put into the positional battle, Senna in the middle to meet Riquelme, Solin actively forward, Josemari is cruising on the right side, Forlan pulls out of the penalty area to seek cooperation, the full-back will have a few active insertions, usually Benta, after losing the ball, the striker and Solin harassed and counter-attacked for the first time, and the back and full-back retreated quickly, so the opponent basically had no chance to single the knife.

Moreover, Villarreal's possession is very skillful, the rhythm of the game is generally good, and in such a while, time passes, and Villarreal often relies on a set-piece or a small combination to break the deadlock.

***********

For this Villarreal, Leon has found a way to deal with it!

That's the whole court pressing and speeding up!

He asked Inter to keep up the high pace and keep the constant impact on Villarreal, so that Villarreal will not be able to breathe and adjust, and their squad will no longer be able to stay intact and precise all the time.

In addition, without a one-on-one attacker on the wing and a strong centre-forward in the middle, Villarreal lacks the ability to attack when it comes time to attack.

These are all places that Leon can take advantage of!

Villarreal's Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini has been hailed as an 'engineer' by the media, meaning he is a master tactician, and Leon is set to beat Pellegrini and his Villarreal tactically today.
