Chapter 298: We Are Here for the Champion

In the final preparations before the start of the match, Flores repeated the tactical points of the match to his players!

"Don't be fooled by their last game against Hamburg! In the final analysis, this team is still a team that defends more than attack, and their defense is characterized by dense positioning and tough confrontation in the midfield! We need to pay special attention to this! Don't fall into the trap of fighting them physically, our strength lies in technology! It's in our control!! Keep the ball at our feet! ”

Since taking over, Flores has emphasized the typical Spanish football characteristics of midfield control and possession at Atletico Madrid, for which he has even abandoned players like Raul Garcia.

"The first goal is important! But pay special attention to Luton's counter-attack!! ”

Flores circled the three strikers of Antoine Griezmann, Vardy and Adam!

'These three are the main attacking points for Luton Town and they will also use the group coordination and pace between the three to look for counter-attacks!!' So we can't give them a chance to counter-attack easily in midfield! Don't be in a hurry! Don't worry if you can't score a goal at first, the time is on our side! Use the pass and possession of the ball in midfield to slowly wear away their fitness! ”

Flores continues to emphasize his tactical thinking.

.......

At the same time, in the dressing room in Luton, Gao Bo is also making the final mobilization!

"What we should say and practice these days has already been said and practiced!"

Gao Bo said as he looked at the players sitting in a circle around him.

"This is their start of the day! Take a look at their front court. ”

Gao Bo pointed to the names in front of him.

"Diego Forlan, Aguero, Reyes, Simao..... It's star-studded! ”

"However, I believe that my players are not the kind of cowards who go limp when they see a star!"

Gao Bo's words echoed in the dressing room, and the players' chests were straightened.

"The most important thing for us in this game is to defend!! Atletico Madrid is clearly the team that has always been more effective than defending!! As long as we withstand their attacks and look for counter-attacking opportunities in the game!! Even if it's just once!! ”

Gao Bo stretched out his fingers!

"We can kill them!!"

The players were not suspicious of Gao Bo's words, which they have developed in this season's Europa League competition.

"Defense is the most important thing! It's to guard against both of them!! ”

Gao Bo was pointing to Reyes and Simão on either side.

"Reyes and Simão! These are two wing raiders!! Adam! Anthony! Get back to your defensive position! ”

Adam and Griezmann nodded.

"The midfielders should also be mindful of movement and fill the gaps on the flanks at any time!"

The three midfielders also nodded.

"Forlan and Sergio Aguero in the middle are the biggest threat! In addition to keeping an eye on these two at all times, the most important thing is that the defender has to keep an eye on them! Divide them from the midfield and on both sides!! ”

Gao Bo pointed to several key areas.

"Defend their ball-handlers in the first place! So that they can easily pass the ball! Make them feel irritable! Let them lose their patience!! ”

"Once there is a chance to fight back! Hit the side immediately! They pressed a lot on the flanks and it was going to be a lot of pressure on us defensively, but it was also an opportunity!! Make good use of the space on the side! ”

After emphasizing the tactical details, Gao Bo began to walk among the players.

"Guys, we're in the Europa League final! We reached the final of the Europa League as an English League One team! It's not that easy and it says a lot about how successful our work has been this season. But.... Is it enough to make it to the finals? ”

"Nope! Far from enough! ”

"We still need championship !!"

"The runners-up are the biggest losers, and we've worked so hard to get here and come to this stadium! We're definitely not here for the runners! ”

"If we lose, maybe many years from now, the media and the fans will still talk about our experience this season. But don't think it's a good thing! ”

"Because that means that in the next few years, if not a dozen years, people will be talking about our failures!"

We'll be called "the most sorry loser" or whatever. ”

"But! To hell with these titles! ”

"Even if it is talked about, even hated! Don't be the most famous loser! Because it would make us look like the most pitiful people in the world! ”

"Because in the future, people will point to our noses and say: Hey, are you the team in the English League One who lost in the Europa League final?"

"This is not the result I wanted!!"

"I just want to win!! We just want champions!! ”

"We've come to this stadium and we've eliminated Ajax, Juventus, Wolfsburg, Hamburg and now we're one last step away from success!"

"I'm tired of hearing words like 'third division' and 'League One' these days, and we're going to win this title now! We need to get home at high speed with this championship! We are the winners of the Europa League! ”

"Today, we have such a great opportunity! We're here, we're here, we're on this stage! ”

"Reaching the finals and being someone else's foil doesn't happen to us! We are here for the European champions!! ”

The players listened to the blood boiling, and they sat upright in their positions one by one, with their waists straight.

Gao Bo's gaze slowly swept over them one by one.

In front of each player, he stayed for a moment before looking at the next player.

Kevin Keane!

Saul Campbell!

Jeffrey!

Alex Sandro!

Mitchell Piran!

N'Golo Kante!

Danny Drinkwater!

Anthony Griezmann!

Adam White!

Jamie Vardy!

......

Like a general reviewing his own soldiers, Gao Bo looked at all his players.

The main players, substitutes, and other players who were not in the squad were also asked by Gao Bo to come to this stadium together.

Even the players who are not in the squad are part of the team. Even if you can't get to the bench, you have to sit in the stands and advance and retreat with the team!

The dressing room was calm, except for the sound of the players breathing.

Gao Bo clenched his fists after taking a look at his players, and then said loudly.

"We were all nobodies and now ..... Now we are just one step away from becoming a big star!! ”

"Win the championship!! And then the success!! ”
