Chapter 1025: Basak Star

Barcelona is back in the cold!

This has undoubtedly become a hot topic of major media reports and hype around the world.

Everyone knows that Gao Han was born in Barcelona, but he has never coached Barcelona, and even led the team to defeat Barcelona many times in his more than ten years of coaching, even at the peak of Guardiola's coaching.

It can be said that Barcelona's most painful defeats fell on Gao Han, which made everyone have to admit that Gao Han is a veritable Barcelona star.

So much so that the day after Barcelona eliminated Atletico Madrid and reached the Champions League final, the daily sports newspaper made a front-page headline with an appeal to Pilanova and his team.

"Are you ready for the cold again?"

Commentators said that Paris Saint-Germain led by Gao Han is the most consistent team in the Champions League this season, and has performed very consistently from the group stage to the knockout stage, which is related to the team's effective rotation mechanism.

On the other hand, Barcelona has been plagued by injuries this season, and even coach Vilanova has left the team for a long time due to parotid cancer, which makes Barcelona seem struggling this season, and La Liga is still struggling with Atletico Madrid and failed to establish the league championship.

'Perhaps, this time we should thank Jose Mourinho. ”

It was his lethal foul tactics that made Paris Saint-Germain lose the core of the midfield, Yaya Toure, a player who is the equalizer of the Paris Saint-Germain midfield, can attack and defend well, and the loss of him is bound to bring huge losses to the midfield of Paris Saint-Germain, which may become a breakthrough point for the team in the final. ”

"But we must not be careless, Gao Han's strategy and line-up have always been the highest level in the world, although Yaya Toure is absent, but Paris Saint-Germain team also has Matuidi, Cabaye, Pastore and Rabiot and other powerful players and young players, these are players that Gao Han admires and relies on very much. ”

The Daily Sport also said that Barcelona had stumbled on the road to the final, and Vilanova and the coaching staff had to reflect and use the next nearly a month to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League final.

In contrast, Marca's focus has fallen on Atletico Madrid and Alpine.

The front page headline published the scene of Atletico Madrid central defender Ramos, captain Torres, veteran Villa and others hugging and crying, and the tragic scene made everyone feel sorry for them from the bottom of their hearts.

The performance of the Sheets is not outstanding, and the team has been strengthened in the past two or three seasons, with the addition of Schneiderlin and Herrera, which has improved Atletico Madrid's midfield by leaps and bounds, but they are always one step away from the title.

La Liga is still behind Barcelona and the Champions League has struggled to reach the last four, only to be in the semi-finals.

One of the team's best performers this season, Ramos was saddened by what happened to his side, as they fought until the final minute at the Camp Nou, but the miracle did not happen as they were just one goal away from the Champions League final.

In the final minute of stoppage time, both Ramos and Torres were still on the pitch yelling at their team-mates. ”

The hard-blooded centre-back, who was praised by Gao Han as having the most Atletico Madrid spirit, performed quite well in this game, not only opening the scoring for the team, but also freezing Ibrahimovic all over the field and making beautiful defenses on several occasions, but he still could not prevent the team from losing. ”

After the whistle blew, Ramos fell silent, crying bitterly not at all like his usual strong image, and Torres and Villa came over to comfort the little brother. ”

"Atletico Madrid haven't won the Champions League for 10 years since Gao Han's departure, and the last time they won La Liga was many years ago. ”

"In the past few years, the team has gone through the torment of building a new stadium, constantly selling players, and then ushering in a metabolism, and after the painstaking management of two famous coaches, Heynckes and Simeone, Atletico Madrid now seems to have the strength to challenge for La Liga and Champions League titles again. ”

'It's a shame to lose in the semi-finals, but Simeone and his players should keep going. ”

Compared with the pathos of Atletico Madrid, Marca newspaper still appreciates Gao Han more.

Having led five teams from different leagues to the Champions League final five times, Gao Han has undoubtedly created a legend in European football, but what amazes all fans is that Paris Saint-Germain has shown a consistent tactical framework this season, as well as the familiar tactical philosophy of Gao Han, are amazing.

"The whole two legs add up to almost 200 minutes, but Real Madrid only played 10 minutes of good football, and the rest of the time was controlled by Paris Saint-Germain. ”

Perhaps Gao Han should have criticised the trident up front, especially in the second leg, when Aubameyang missed a couple of very good scoring chances, otherwise they would have beaten Real Madrid in the semi-finals. ”

If Marca's stance is a bit skewed towards the cold, then Real Madrid's mouthpiece, As, also said in a front-page headline commentary that PSG's victory was convincing.

"The familiar cold, the familiar philosophy, the familiar possession, the familiar attacking football, brought the familiar victory. ”

The French press went straight into the carnival rhythm.

The front page of the team newspaper gave Gao Han a very high evaluation, believing that Gao Han will become one of the greatest managers in the history of French football, because he has reached the final of the French Cup and the Champions League after winning the Ligue 1 title early, and he is likely to become the first team in the history of the French league to win the treble.

"There is no doubt that it took two years for Gao Han to build a very competitive squad for Paris Saint-Germain, and the Ligue 1 giants ushered in a comprehensive revival. ”

The French newspaper Figaro even sent the Champions League championship to Gao Han in advance, and said in a high-profile manner, "Any team that is the enemy of Gao Han is sympathetic!"

Le Monde also confidently believes that with Alpine's past record, "Barcelona will shatter the Wembley Stadium." ”

The news that Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final and encountered Barcelona not only caused a sensation in the entire French and European football world, but even French President FranΓ§ois Hollande personally came forward to encourage Paris Saint-Germain to make persistent efforts to win the championship at Wembley Stadium, and also said that he would definitely come to the scene to help.

"Yes, there is no doubt that I am a fan of Alpine and Paris Saint-Germain and I am very much looking forward to the showdown at Wembley in a month and I am sure that the team I support and love will be the winners. ”

"Gao Han is an amazing manager, he comes from the magic of China, and he has made an indelible contribution to Paris Saint-Germain and French football. ”

However, when the praise of the whole world was overwhelming, Gao Han had a big problem with his assistant at Saint-Germain-Leon, the French famous Zidane.

…………

…………

"Tell me, if it were you, what would the Champions League final do?"

Zidane sat in Gao Han's office, his brows furrowed like a mountain, and his whole person was in distress.

He originally thought that Gao Han called him over to explain what he was going to do, but he didn't expect that it would give him such a big problem, which was a bit difficult for him.

After all, it was the Champions League final!

In this life, Zidane has only experienced three Champions League finals, and all of them are still as players, but it is a bit ashamed to say that unlike Gao Han's all-win record, Zidane's winning rate in the Champions League final is not high.

The first two were as Juventus players, when the Bianconeri reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons, and the year before Zinedine Zidane's arrival, Juventus beat Ajax on penalties to win the title, but the next two years lost 3-1 to Heathfield's Borussia Dortmund and then 0-1 to Heynckes' Real Madrid.

This has also led to many rumors that Zidane was unreliable at a critical moment and failed to support Juventus' midfield.

Fortunately, after joining Real Madrid, he defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League final, and Zidane also scored the most beautiful kick of his career, which made many people begin to forget the painful experience of the previous two Champions League final losses.

But as for how to play the Champions League final, Zidane is really a little confused.

Yaya Toure is already doomed to be absent, which will cause irreparable damage to Paris Saint-Germain's midfield, and how to fill the void left by Yaya Toure has become the first problem in front of Zidane.

Cabaye and Pastore can both play, both players are a good fit, and judging by their performances over the past two seasons, they can greatly improve the team's possession when they come out, but what about the defence?

Pirlo is not young, his own defensive ability is very weak, originally there was Yaya Toure next to the strategy and coverage, if at this time on Cabaye and Pastore, the pass and possession may be there, but the defense will definitely be bad.

What's more, spelling pass control, can Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona?

Even this season, Barcelona's most criticized is not their passing and possessive play, but their lack of sharpness in attack and their lack of pressing, which has led to problems in both their attack and defence.

If Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona fight for pass control, it is estimated that there will be no play.

Then go to Matuidi?

This player can attack and defend well, and when Yaya Toure is absent, he has been a deputy many times to assist Pirlo, has experience, and his performance is also good, and he can also take the ball and play the ball, so he should be considered the most safe candidate.

It was also at this moment that Zidane suddenly discovered that the choice was not difficult, because Gao Han had repeatedly rehearsed and trained many possible situations on weekdays in the past two years, and before the game, the choice that should have been quite difficult turned out to be very easy.

For example, the use of Matuidi to fill in the position of Yaya Toure is the best example of this.

This made Zidane admire Gao Han even more.

But with the candidates, how to fight next is the key.

Spelling pass control is definitely not good, and retreating is not the style of Paris Saint-Germain, so there is only one choice.

Zidane's eyes flashed a hint of triumph, but he quickly frowned again and thought hard, trying to think as carefully as possible.

The whole process of thinking was watched by Gao Han, who had been sitting silently on the sidelines, seemingly reading the newspaper, but in fact had been paying attention to Zidane's movements.

When he saw Zidane's face, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he began to read the newspaper in his hand intently.

From the pages of France's largest newspapers, it is still very rewarding to see the comments that praise oneself, especially the French president.

And Zidane finally breathed a sigh of relief after thinking hard for a long time, and looked up at Gao Han.

"I think we should play against Barcelona!" said the French legend in a loud voice.
