"I think we should play against Barcelona!"

After listening to Zidane's words, Gao Han put down the newspaper in front of him, closed it, and looked at the French celebrity in front of him with interest, "Come, talk about it." ”

Zidane was also prepared for this, he knew that Gao Han was deliberately testing him and giving him a chance.

Although he is a legendary superstar of the past, he is still just a rookie who has just debuted on the road to coaching, and he is very tender.

I don't know how many times similar questions and answers have appeared in the past two years, but this time Zidane was somewhat nervous.

After all, it's about the Champions League final.

"As you've been telling me before, in addition to the strength of the two armies, the psychological factor is also very important, guess the other side's mind, the more they don't want us to do, the more we should do it. ”

Gao Han nodded, this is indeed what he often admonishes Zidane.

"I'm thinking, what Barcelona wants us to do the most must be to grab possession with them, we have only been formed for two years, even if the players are good and cooperative, it is impossible to be like the group of players in Barcelona, they have cooperated for many years, and they can even say that they can pass the ball to their teammates with their eyes closed. ”

"But we can't, especially with Yaya Toure out, I think we should have Matuidi on the pitch both offensively and defensively, so if we play with Barcelona for the ball, it's definitely a big disadvantage. ”

Gao Han nodded, "Go on, go on, how do you attack?"

'I think we should press the opposition, especially the two centre-backs for Barcelona, but at the same time we have to keep the whole formation orderly and rigorous, and we have to make sure that every player is disciplined and can do everything when we don't have possession. ”

"But Barcelona's transmission and control system is so skillful, what should I do if the pressing and grabbing doesn't work?"

"Then you have to go to the second step. Zidane has clearly dealt with it, "The purpose of pressing is only to prevent the opponent from easily passing the ball through the midfield, but once the pressure fails, then we must retreat in the shortest possible time and establish a solid defensive position, rather than continue to entangle Barcelona's midfield." ”

That's why Zidane said why every player should be disciplined.

This is only possible if the players are highly disciplined and always follow the instructions of the coaching staff.

"But Ibrahimovic is a nuisance. Gao Han asked the question again.

Barcelona's opponents didn't think of this, but why is it so difficult to work?

A very important reason is that Barcelona have Ibrahimovic in the frontfield, and the Swedish striker can play the role of a tactical fulcrum in the front court in this situation and become a battering ram for Barcelona.

Once Ibrahimovic gets the ball, players such as Messi, Pedro and Iniesta will quickly surround him, and combined with Barcelona's best small-area and quick passing, it is also quite deadly.

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lionel Messi will be the two most important points of Barcelona up front, so we have to try to control the first spot, and even if it doesn't, we have to quickly grab the second spot. ”

'Once they retreated, our defenders didn't follow and the defensive was left to the midfielders, but the back line was mainly responsible for cutting off the link between Ibrahimovic and Messi, dividing them and imprisoning them as a team. ”

This set of ideas is very similar to Gao Han's previous games against Barcelona, and it is not difficult to achieve, mainly because of the tactical execution of the players, especially David Luiz.

The Brazilian centre-back is a good seedling, with excellent physical fitness and work at his feet, which is indeed quite good, and his two seasons at PSG have also improved rapidly, but they are still not consistent.

As Gao Han said about Ramos, centre-backs like Ramos and David Luiz tend to be a double-edged sword, very useful when it's good, but you have to tolerate him making mistakes.

Thiago Silva has been very consistent and will be a strong addition to David Luiz.

If Zidane's line of thought is followed, then the most important task of the backline is to defend, including Marcelo.

"What about the attack, how to fight?" Gao Han hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"Liberate Pirlo and attack diagonally on both flanks. ”

Gao Han laughed immediately, and it seemed that Zidane had already prepared for this.

After Alba's transfer to Barcelona, Barcelona's wings were known for inserting attack, and the devil's wings with Alves played a very obvious role in attack, and hitting them behind them was also the most common use of many teams against Barcelona.

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is quicker and more aggressive defensively, so I think he should be closer to the midfield, and Neymar should try to press as close as possible to Suarez, so that he can press Barcelona's central defenders and contain Barcelona's right side so that Alves does not dare to act rashly. ”

Zidane's analysis seemed to be very Zhizhu, which made Gao Han secretly applaud in his heart.

"There's one thing I'm worried about, though. ”

"What?" asked Gao Han curiously.

"Xavi's direct pass. Zidane said with a solemn face, "Although Xavi is not young and his willingness to run and actively press his opponent is weakened compared to his early years, but that through ball has become more brilliant, and we must have someone who can break his through ball in his area of activity, otherwise it will ......."

After a pause, Zidane continued: "In addition, Neymar is in a forward position, containing Barcelona's central defender and right back, but he will basically not retreat to defend, Marcelo defends Messi alone, I don't think it's enough, someone must actively return to the defense to help, so ......"

When he said this, Zidane looked at Gao Han intently with a pair of eyes, he already had the answer, but he was just seeking Gao Han's opinion, because he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

As Gao Han had told him before, any decision is a double-edged sword.

It's like Barcelona's possession, if you play well, you can completely control the game, but once the offense is unfavorable, too much possession is cumbersome, and it may even become a weapon for the opponent to defeat Barcelona.

The same is true of the problems that Paris Saint-Germain is facing now.

Will Di Maria be able to volley Xavi and still actively return to Marcelo's defense?

"What do you think?" Gao Han asked with a smile instead of answering.

Zidane thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I think you can give it a try." ”

Gao Han smiled slightly: "I agree with you, and I also believe that Di Maria will definitely be able to handle this heavy burden." ”

Receiving Gao Han's affirmation, Zidane couldn't help but smile and kept nodding.

In the year since Di Maria joined Paris Saint-Germain, his performance has been quite good, and after transforming into a central midfielder, he has contributed a lot in attack and defense, especially when counterattacking after breaking the ball, Di Maria has done a very good job.

This is the Champions League final, winning this battle, whether it is for the team or for the players themselves, it is a pinnacle honor, for such a game, there is no need to mobilize, every player will do their best.

Therefore, the next most important thing is to adjust the state of the players and rehearse the tactics of the game.

In particular, Zidane spoke of the drill of pressing and defensive formations.

Thankfully, with the Champions League final still almost a month away, PSG still has plenty of time to prepare.

'The rest of the training sessions will be arranged as you said, focusing on preparing for this Champions League final, and you will be in charge of it. ”

As soon as Gao Han's words fell, Zidane was taken aback, what kind of trust must he have to give such an important task to him, a rookie?

"Don't worry, I'll be watching from the sidelines, you just let go and prepare, and at the same time, it's best to draw up a detailed preparation plan and hand it to me within these two days, understand?"

After hearing this, Zidane's heart was full of excitement, and this was an extremely valuable training opportunity for him.

This is preparing for the Champions League final, many managers have never had such a chance in their lives, but he has, although it is under the wings of Gao Han, but it is enough to make him feel excited.

"Also, in the next few rounds of the league, I plan to be in charge of you as well, I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself. ”

Paris Saint-Germain has won the Ligue 1 championship in advance, and the opponents in the remaining games are not strong.

Besides, Gao Han will also sit in the coach's seat at that time, if Zidane really makes a fatal mistake, then Gao Han will also try to remedy it as soon as possible, I believe it is not a big problem.

"The opponent in the French Cup final is Bordeaux, this team is very good, we have to be careful to deal with it, I have to decide the three titles this season, you and the coaching staff prepare well. ”

Zidane felt a strong self-confidence from Gao Han's words.

If it were anyone else, they might think that Gao Han was too overly supportive, but Zidane would not feel that way, because as the coaching staff of Paris Saint-Germain, he knows that Gao Han has laid the foundation for Paris Saint-Germain in the past two years.

It was a solid foundation built on a myriad of details, and it would not be affected by Yaya Toure's absence, and naturally it would not be disturbed by other factors.

…………

…………

After finalizing the details with Zidane, Gao Han sent off the French celebrity, looked at his departing back, and smiled with satisfaction.

In the past two years, Zidane has been learning from him and has made great progress, and Gao Han is also successively delegating power to him and Makelele, especially in the past six months, after Luis Enrique failed to coach Chinatown, Gao Han has been targeting Zidane, and has been deliberately cultivating him and letting him be independent.

With Guardiola's previous experience, Gao Han has more experience in cultivating Zidane this time.

Judging from the current situation of Zidane, he does have the strength to take charge of himself, and it is not difficult to see from Gao Han's sharp eyes that his potential has been constantly improving, and his future is obviously limitless, and he can fully progress with Chinatown.

Even, it is entirely possible that he could become the next Pep Guardiola.

As for Gao Han, it has never been clarified, it is because he does not want to reveal it too early, because Paris Saint-Germain has been looking for Gao Han's successor, and Zidane was once one of the candidates, and it is impossible for Gao Han to do this kind of thing out of professional ethics.

But judging by the information he has now, the manager of Paris Saint-Germain for the new season will be the former head coach of Bordeaux and the French national team, Laurent Blanco.

The coaching ability of this young coach has also been unanimously recognized by the French football world, and he is the former captain and head coach of the national team, which can be described as a young man, and it is very logical to coach Paris Saint-Germain.
