As soon as the two-week national team training period was over, the Spanish Copa del Rey was the first to ignite the fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Atletico Madrid challenged a team in the fourth tier away in the first round, and Gao Han excluded all the players who participated in the national team training camp from the squad, but still won 3-0 steadily.
Three days later, the Estadio Calderón finally had its first La Liga match of the season.
Also last season's promoted horse, although Sevilla's performance was not as bright as Atletico Madrid's, but in the end ranked eighth in the league, which is quite an excellent result for a promoted horse.
In particular, Reyes, the young player in the team, won full applause, and Joaquin did not lose to Real Betis.
But this time, sitting at home, Atletico Madrid has taught Sevilla a good lesson.
The score of 1-0 does not reflect the performance of the two teams on the pitch at all.
On the contrary, it is 62 percent, and the difference in possession rate of 38 percent better reflects the difference in the level of the two teams.
Atletico Madrid dominated almost the entire game, and this was still the main force of Gao Han's inexhaustion, and the attacking trident in the front court was a result achieved without playing.
This also made Sevilla coach Joaquín Caparros sigh very embarrassed at the post-match press conference, Atletico Madrid's strength has reached a new level every year, and it has already become the most competitive team in La Liga.
In other words, he also admits that Sevilla are inferior.
After playing Sevilla, Atletico Madrid also began to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League group stage.
Drawn to the Group of Death, they met Bayern Munich in the first round, and the Sheets were very unlucky.
Looking back at the past results, on the European stage, at the Olympic Stadium, Bayern Munich has been unbeaten in 29 consecutive games since losing 0-1 to Gothenburg in 1997.
Even further along, Bayern Munich have only lost two of their last 37 Champions League home games.
European giants, including Real Madrid and Manchester United, all had to lose at the Stadio Olimpico.
This also made the German media full of confidence before the game, threatening to make the darkest dark horse team in the history of La Liga suffer a rout on German soil at the Olympic Stadium.
The Spanish media also expressed pessimism, and even many media believed that for Atletico Madrid, losing less away from home is already a pretty good result.
After all, going out is always better than at home.
Gao Han is also extremely cautious about this game and attaches great importance to it, and even carried out a large rotation in the second round of the Copa del Rey and La Liga, just to let the main squad prepare for this game with all their might.
Because he knows that this is the group of death, and every game is a final!
But just before the game began, he received an incredible piece of information about his team at the Olympic Stadium in Munich.
…………
…………
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this analysis?"
Before going on the field, in the coach's lounge area of the away team's locker room, Gao Han raised a report in his hand and stared at Sergio Garcia in front of him, his eyes as if he was about to eat people.
"I ......" Sergio Garcia didn't look particularly confident, but after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded: "I'm sure, this is the data we specially bought at a high price, it's very detailed, and I've compared it with each other, so there should be no problem." ”
"I don't want to, I want to affirm. Gao Han emphasized again.
Sergio Garcia closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied, "I'm sure." ”
Gao Han casually handed over the report to Cantarero, Emery, Buenaventura and other assistants, asking them to refer to it.
The report was actually short and concise, but it surprised everyone.
"Sergio, you're a little scary. Cantarero couldn't believe it.
"I know. Sergio Garcia nodded, "But as you know, statistics are not very important in European football, and we are already the best at it, but it's hard to say in other countries, especially the Bundesliga. ”
"We can understand your difficulties, but you gave us this ...... when the decisive battle is imminent," Cantarero shook his head with a wry smile.
Not only him, but also Emery, Buenaventura, Pedro Harrow and other assistants also shook their heads and smiled bitterly after seeing it.
"I really doubt you're talking about Bayern Munich. Unai Emery was also shocked.
"So far this season, Bayern Munich have played five league games, 0-0, 6-2, 3-0, 3-1, 2-1 and 3-1, not only winning four in a row to top the table, fifteen goals, an average of three goals per game, and the attacking power is quite impressive. ”
Sergio Garcia nodded, "Yes, but it doesn't contradict the results of the report. ”
After a pause, Sergio Garcia continued to analyze: "Besides, what is the situation in the Bundesliga, we all know that Dortmund is in a deep financial crisis, Leverkusen's soul core has been poached, and as for other teams, it is difficult to threaten Bayern Munich at all, which is the least competitive league among the five major leagues!"
"So, Bayern Munich's winning streak doesn't mean anything, does it?"
Everyone was speechless, and this is indeed the truth.
"But you take it out now, it's scary. Gao Han scolded lightly.
Sergio Garcia also conceded guilty, "I know, but we just got the data, we just analyzed it. ”
"And what now?" Gao Han looked at Sergio Garcia first.
The data analyst shrugged his shoulders and remained silent.
Then look at Cantarero, Emery, Buenaventura and Pedro Harrow......
swept over one by one, and instead of giving a reference, they all looked at Gao Han in unison.
"You're the head coach of the team, of course you have the idea of this kind of thing. Cantarero replied with a grin.
Gao Han almost flew out with a kick, and scolded again, what is the use of me raising you?
But he also knows that only the head coach can do such a thing as changing formations on the spot.
You know, Atletico Madrid has been preparing carefully for two or three weeks for this game.
If it doesn't change, as Sergio Garcia has analyzed, then Atletico Madrid is really a missed opportunity.
Cantarero also understood the entanglement of the cold at this moment, which was indeed a dilemma, but looking at the time, he had to remind him: "Time is running out." ”
Gao Han nodded slightly, and Huo Di stood up and walked to the players' rest area.
Several assistants also hurried to follow.
As soon as he walked into the players' rest area, Gao Han clapped his hands vigorously for all the players to see.
"Guys, things have changed, let's adjust our tactics!"
…………
…………
The Olympic Stadium, as the name suggests, is a stadium built to host the Olympic Games, with a capacity of 80,000 people.
At this moment, a large area of black pressure in the stands is full.
But the atmosphere didn't get hot because of the huge number of fans.
Because there is a wide runway between the stands and the stadium, this makes Bayern Munich's home stadium not scary at all, although it has a large number of people and a good atmosphere.
The players of the two teams, led by the referee, walked into the stadium one after another.
Gao Han followed and also drilled out of the player's tunnel.
He could feel the boos and even insults from the Bayern Munich fans in the stands.
"How's it going? Not frightened, right?"
Bayern Munich's head coach Heathfield appeared behind Gao Han.
Gao Han turned his head and saw this respected old handsome, he smiled and stretched out his hand, but his mouth did not show weakness at all.
"No, you're very polite compared to Camp Nou and the Bernabeu. ”
Heathfield also laughed, "Then wait on the court, we're not welcome." ”
"Each other, each other. ”
After shaking hands, the two did not immediately return to the coach's box, but stood side by side at the entrance of the players' tunnel.
Gao Han could feel that both the fans in the stands and Heathfield next to him were clearly full of confidence in the game, because Bayern Munich have been doing quite well so far this season.
Ballack's arrival fills the void of Effenberg's departure.
Football emperor Beckenbauer spoke highly of Ballack in his column, believing that his value surpassed that of Zidane of Real Madrid, which is of course a preference, but it shows Ballack's strength.
The German media even praised Ballack as the king of Europe, believing that he would lead Bayern Munich to the top of the European championship.
However, when chatting, Heathfield never mentioned the game or Bayern Munich, but praised Atletico Madrid, giving Gao Han and the team a high evaluation.
This left a very good impression on Gao Han, and he agreed to drink together after the game on the spot.
This is a normal communication between the two coaches in the game, but many teams have a deep grudge against each other, so they just turn a blind eye.
During the exchange, Gao Han tried to find something in Heathfield's eyes, but perhaps he was hiding too deeply, or perhaps he didn't realize it himself, and of course, it was possible that Sergio Garcia had misjudged.
But no matter what, Gao Han didn't find it.
By the time he returned to the visitors' dugout disappointed, the players on the pitch had already set up their positions.
Bayern Munich play a four-four-two formation, with Kahn in goal, and Lizarazu, Robert Kovac, Thomas Link and Sagnol at the back.
In midfield, Ze Roberto, Ballack, Jeremais and Salihamidzic are in midfield, while the twin strikers are Elber and Pizarro.
Atletico Madrid is playing away from home, and they still stick to their 4312 formation.
The goalkeeper was Petr Cech and the backline was Jankulovski, Carvalho, Marchena and Dario Srna.
The back three are Deco, Pep Guardiola and Marcos Senna, with Kaka playing as a striker and Villa and Fernando Torres up front.
This is also the strongest attacking combination of Atletico Madrid under Gao Han.
Both sides are well-staffed, strong and strong, and all of them have arranged the strongest lineups to play, which shows that both sides attach importance to this game.
Everyone knows that in the group of death, in this kind of strong dialogue, it is the first round of the group stage, and no one can afford to lose.
The Bayern Munich fans at the scene were also very powerful, cheering for the team very hard and making noise.
The referee kept an eye on his watch, and as soon as the time came, he blew the whistle for the start of the game.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season, the focus of the world's most attention from fans around the world, has finally begun! )
