Arriving in Cardiff, the entire Tottenham squad took a bus to their hotel, where the players chatted happily and everyone looked extremely excited.

After all, it's the Champions League final, and for many players, it's the stage of their dreams.

Upon arrival and upon arrival at the hotel, Tottenham were greeted by the media and the Tottenham fans who had been waiting for them for a long time.

On the first day, there was no training assignment, after all, after a long journey, Boas gave the players plenty of time to rest, of course, clubbing and other 'entertainment' matters, at this time are prohibited, once discovered, it will be dealt with seriously.

Actually, Villas-Boas is thinking too much, and the Tottenham players don't have the heart to club, they are full of the final in three days.

The next day, Tottenham Hotspur came to the 'Millennium Stadium' in the afternoon after a full rest.

As the finals approached, the atmosphere on the entire court became more and more intense, and the final arrangements began to be prepared.

When Tottenham arrived at the pitch, the first thing they saw was the three flags flying high.

The flags of Tottenham and Real Madrid on the left and right are fluttering in the wind with UEFA flags.

Workers climbed to the roof and hung advertisements for the Champions League final.

Several huge advertisements hung from the ceiling, and the east and west stands also made Tottenham and Real Madrid logos.

UEFA has prepared 16,613 tickets for Tottenham and Real Madrid each, representing 24% of the total number of matches, with the rest going to local fans and fans from all over the world.

These tickets range from £513 to £60, which is already cheap in terms of ticket prices in previous Champions Leagues.

There are also arches in front of the tunnel with the emblem of Real Madrid on the left and Tottenham Hotspur on the right.

When players enter the pitch, they enter the pitch through this arch of honour, leading to the highest tournament in Europe.

......

Seeing these novelties, Tottenham players went up to watch. Ali also took a group photo to highlight a 'hillbilly' atmosphere.

Even Yile carefully stepped on the lawn under his feet, feeling whether the lawn used in the Champions League final was any different from usual.

The whole Tottenham team looked like Grandma Liu was visiting the manor, which made the staff on the side a little funny.

They remember that in the morning, the Real Madrid players were much more stylish.

But the Tottenham players look more down-to-earth.

Ibrahimovic is looking ahead with blazing eyes, he is full of pride, he is about to reach the stage of the Champions League final, in front of the whole world, to tell everyone, I and my teammates are the strongest team in Europe!

"The lawn is soft!"

"I feel like the air here is all sweet!"

"Is there any special design here, I feel great!"

"yes, my body is a lot lighter!"

"This is the Champions League final! It's amazing! ”

"Yes! Yes! ”

The hillbilly teammates next to him walked by, and Ibrahimovic's face darkened.

He looked at Dele. Ali and the others looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but glare: "Ali, in the past training, don't be like a hillbilly, it's not the first time to play in the Champions League final!" ”

Dele. Ali pouted and said aggrievedly: "It's the first time!" ”

Ibrahimovich's tone was suffocating.

"You ......."

Whew!

Ibrahimovic took a deep breath to calm down.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, if you want to win, you have to look at the big guys, and Yi has seen the world.

He turned his head to look over, and saw Yi Le squatting on the ground, pulling weeds and playing, like a curious baby.

Ibrahimovic suddenly felt that the final was a little difficult...

......

After the stampede, they went straight back to the hotel, ready to start the tactical meeting.

Villas-Boas told the players to go back to rest while he led the coaching staff in a meeting.

Villas-Boas was responsible for gathering information in his early years with Jose Mourinho, so he has kept this habit very well, and to this day, he collects information from the other party before the game to integrate and compare.

Ever since the semi-final, Villas-Boas has been studying Real Madrid, or Zinedine Zidane, a football legend.

What kind of manager Zidane is, Villas-Boas has not yet figured out.

But he already has a general idea through data analysis.

In the early days, Zidane's Real Madrid played a pass-and-control, and during that time, their results were very stable, but they did not reach the 'terrifying' level of today.

But the subsequent games, especially in the knockout rounds of the Champions League in '16, were an important turning point.

Last season, when Real Madrid faced Roma in the quarterfinals, the score was 2:0, the pass success rate and ball possession rate were 6:4 in both games, and the number of shots and other data were much higher than the opponent, which seemed to crush the opponent.

But when he looked back on the whole game, especially the second leg win, it scared Real Madrid fans.

Danilo was on the right side of the game, and Salah, El Shaarawy and Dzeko all exploited Real Madrid's empty defence on a number of occasions to create good chances.

Fortunately, the Roma striker at that time was not strong in his ability to seize opportunities, otherwise it would not be a problem to score 2 or 3 goals.

This is a key, exposed flaw in Zidane's tactics.

Since then, Zidane has learned his lesson, and he has begun to frequently try a variety of tactical arrangements and combinations, and under the extremely spanning and different styles of tactical arrangements, Real Madrid have played chaotically, but because of his strong individual ability, he can always score goals.

The same is true of the rumored 'X**T', which is an inevitable consequence of frequent tactical switching.

It is precisely because of this situation that Real Madrid has become the most difficult team to target, and very few people have been able to scrutinize their tactical arrangements.

In recent times, Villas-Boas and his coaching staff have been working through the night as they study Real Madrid and have come to disappointing conclusions.

They can't make specific targets, and Real Madrid have too many tactical routines that can be changed.

Therefore, if Tottenham want to win the game, what they need to do is not to target, but to use their own tactics to suppress Real Madrid.

This is also a forced and helpless move, Real Madrid plays Real Madrid's tactics, and Tottenham plays Tottenham's tactics.

One of the most crucial aspects of Tottenham's tactics is that the midfield needs to take the initiative in the game, which is the basis of their victory.

In this case, he made a summary of three main points.

First: everything is for the midfield, help the midfielder control the rhythm as soon as possible, and let Yile rely on the change of rhythm to drive the team.

Second: The defense doesn't have to pay too much attention to Ronaldo, blocking a few exit points and cutting off the feeding route.

Third: Try to shoot from a distance! Yile, Kane, and Ali all have a good long-range shot.

......

During the tactical arrangement, the Tottenham players sat in a row with serious faces.

Villas-Boas spoke very carefully, obviously he did his job, the theory and all kinds of statistics reflected in the players, telling the players how to play in attack, how to defend defensively, how to help the midfield, etc...

After a series of arrangements, Boas's mouth was dry, and he took a breath and said, "Got it? ”

Tottenham's players looked at each other.

They didn't understand anything.

At this time, a crisp voice came, and Yi Le nodded; "Got it!"

Everyone's eyes widened, our thinking is no longer on the same channel, how do you understand?

Boas nodded in satisfaction.

He doesn't need others to understand, Yi Le can understand, and when Tottenham has the initiative, Yi Le will lead the team and tell them how to play.

At this time, Sun Xingmin raised his hand and said weakly: "Boss, what if we can't grasp the initiative in the midfield?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look over.

Sun Xingmin was startled and hurriedly shouted: "After all, it's Modric on the other side!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Luka Modric is the strongest midfielder of the moment.

But Yile doesn't seem to be bad either.

it!!

Only then did everyone react.

The duel between Europe's two super midfielders?!

Tottenham Hotspur first-generation and second-generation head-to-head?!
