After playing the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid made it to the final and most important final of the season, the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany.

The opponent is Real Madrid's sworn enemy, Barcelona!

With Real Madrid still playing the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona have been preparing for the game for a longer time.

As early as the day after the final round of La Liga, Luis Enrique led the team out of Barcelona and secretly went to the training camp for a two-week closed training camp.

For this training camp, from the Barcelona management to the media reporters, all kept silent, as if they were practicing in retreat, and few people even knew where Barcelona went, let alone what the content of their training camp was.

This is indeed a lot of pressure for Real Madrid.

There is no doubt that in terms of historical results, Real Madrid has a clear advantage, but the problem is that this time Barcelona have plenty of time to prepare, a full two weeks to prepare, which is a huge advantage.

Many people may not be able to understand how big this advantage is, but just compare it to the difficulty of the double game in a week.

In addition to fatigue, the most important thing in the difficulty of a double game in a week is the targeted tactics.

It can be said that in the two-game week, the team has no time to conduct targeted tactical drills, and the coaching staff can only instill theoretical things in meetings, and how to combine practice needs to look at the players' on-the-spot performance, because the team has no time to run in and practice, which greatly increases the difficulty of the game.

In La Liga, the difference in the quality of the teams is not as big as the outside world thinks, and once the bottom team has been carefully prepared, it is entirely possible to beat the unprepared champion team.

Even in the Copa del Rey matches, there have been many cases of big teams losing to amateur or semi-amateur teams.

This is true not only in La Liga, but also in the cups of other countries.

In this way, once there is ample time to prepare, with the strength of Barcelona, they can develop a set of targeted tactics to restrain Real Madrid, but Real Madrid knows nothing about this and does not have much time to prepare.

After playing the Copa del Rey final at Athletic Erbao, two days of rest, two days of targeted training, and then a rest and then the Champions League final is right away.

With preparations far inferior to their opponents, Real Madrid is also very nervous about the Champions League final.

"During this period of closed training camp, Luis Enrique will definitely focus on solving two problems."

After a day of training, Yang Yang did not leave, but was left by Zidane to drink tea in his office on the second floor, and Ancelotti also came over not long after, so the topic quickly shifted to the upcoming Champions League final.

Barcelona's closed training camp is very curious, this kind of long-term training camp of up to two weeks is extremely rare in European professional leagues, except for pre-season training camps, but Barcelona have been given such preparation time this time, which is very worrying.

"One is to solve the contradiction of the frontcourt attack, even if it is only temporary." Yang Yang said that he may change to Barcelona in the next Champions League final, "Another is their defense. ”

Barcelona's defense is not ideal, compared to their sharp attack, their defense can be said to be a huge weakness, which is also a big concern for everyone, that is, in the face of Real Madrid's attack, can Barcelona defend?

As for the attack, the luxury of the front trident can be said to be unprecedented, but the run-in problem between them has also been around for a long time, how to solve the cooperation between the three superstars, this is the big problem that Enrique has been facing, and it is also the key to facing Real Madrid.

Only by solving these two problems will they have the ability to beat Real Madrid!

"Luis Enrique has only been in charge of Rome for one season, but this year-long period has been very helpful to his coaching, he has implemented the defensive tactics he learned in Italy during his time at Celta Vigo, and he has always practiced his football philosophy and the existing system of Barcelona."

As the head coach of the team, Ancelotti also looks at the problem from the perspective of the whole team.

"At the beginning of the season, before playing the first derby of the century with us, Barcelona did not concede a goal, yes, during this period of time, Barcelona did not encounter too strong opponents, but the defensive results of not conceding a goal, compared with Barcelona's defensive lineup, it is really surprising, and it can also be seen that Luis Enrique has adjusted the defense."

Yang Yang and Zidane both nodded in agreement.

Italy produces a master of tactics, which is recognized in the football world.

Not to mention Luis Enrique and those famous coaches in Italy, Guardiola has also been to Italy, Benitez has also traveled to Italy, and many other famous coaches have basically had a deep imprint of Italian football.

Italy's defensive philosophy, even now, will not go out of style.

Luis Enrique's one-year at Roma was neither good nor bad, but it was clear that he had undergone a great transformation in that year, especially in the refinement of his tactical philosophy.

Compared to Barcelona, Real Madrid's defensive problems do not seem to be weak, much better than Barcelona, but in front of an attacking combination like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who dares to say that their defense can hold on?

This extends to the second problem that Enrique needs to solve as mentioned by Yang Yang, and resolve the tactical conflict of the Trident.

How to resolve it?

This is a piece of wisdom, which is easy to say, but difficult to say!

In many cases, the most important ability to coach a big team is not the coaching ability, but how to resolve the conflict and stimulate the players' fighting spirit and game ability.

Zidane didn't speak all the time, but at this time he suddenly spoke, "To be honest, I think Enrique came prepared this time, and before the secret training camp, I guessed that a consensus had been reached within Barcelona." ”

Ancelotti nodded in agreement, and Yang Yang pondered for a while and understood.

Last season's Real Madrid was the treble winner, and Barcelona was empty-handed, which is really an insult to the front court, which is known as the most luxurious trident of all time.

All three of them are the core figures of their national teams, Argentina, Portugal and Brazil, all of which are traditional giants in world football, as the leaders of their respective national teams, forming a trident at the club, and the result is empty-handed, which they can't accept in any case.

And this season, Real Madrid has won La Liga and the Copa del Rey successively, which is tantamount to forcing Barcelona to the point of fighting on the back, and they have no way out.

The stronger Real Madrid played, the more pressure there was on Barcelona and Barça's players, and when it came to superstars of their level, it was basically impossible to crush them, and then it was their rebound and outbursts.

For Barcelona at this moment, they don't care about the process at all, they just want a result.

A result that beats Real Madrid, keeps Barcelona, and saves their own face!

For this result, everyone in the Barcelona team will work hard!

Of course, Real Madrid will also work hard, but they have to admit that at least in terms of desperateness, Real Madrid is not as good as Barcelona.

"Then we will face the strongest Barcelona team in the last two years!" Yang Yang stood up as he spoke, turned around and walked to the window.

Outside the window facing Real Madrid's training ground, De Bruyne is still practicing, he is like Yang Yang in the past, insisting on practicing for himself every day, unless there is a game task the next day.

But it is clear that the upcoming Champions League final really has little to do with him, and it would be nice to be on the bench, although he is now a rising star in European football.

Yang Yang sighed secretly in his heart, he was optimistic about De Bruyne, but the competition for Real Madrid was too fierce.

"Yang, what do you think?" Zidane asked with concern.

Ancelotti also looked concerned, and obviously wanted to hear Yang Yang's thoughts.

Yang Yang withdrew his gaze from De Bruyne in the distance, turned around, looked at the two coaches of the team, and smiled faintly, he knew that Ancelotti might not listen to him, at least not all of them.

'If there are no accidents, the midfield will be Rakitic, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, playing with the ball and we still can't play against Barcelona, so I don't think we should have the ball with them, although in some games in the past it seems that we have the ability.

Ancelotti and Zidane both nodded in unison, Barcelona's passing and possession can be said to be deep into the bone marrow, and it is really not something that other teams can learn casually.

The most surprising thing this season is Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich, the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals, the possession rate is slightly better than Barcelona, but as a result, Barcelona is 3-0 at home and 2-3 away to eliminate the Bundesliga giants.

"Playing Barcelona, I think the most important thing is to be stable, this is the key factor that we have been able to overpower Barcelona in the past few years, the risk of attacking is too great, and they are prepared, our preparation time is far inferior to that of the opponent, playing against the attack is in the arms of Barcelona, but it is not good for us."

"Be steady, take your time, use our whole body to limit Barça, suppress Barca's midfield, cut off the connection between the midfield and the front trident, and then control the field, even if we lose possession, we can still create some chances."

'As long as we hold our ground and Barcelona don't get the lead, the likes of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar will start to get more and more irritated and this is our chance.

As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, Zidane immediately nodded and said, "I think Yang Yang has analyzed it well." ”

"But it will be embarrassing on the field, especially at the beginning." Ancelotti said with a frown.

The corners of Yang Yang's mouth twitched slightly, he understood that Ancelotti had always been immersed in the dream space of the gorgeous offensive football in the first half, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Even if it's the last game, he still wants to leave a gorgeous finale!
