009 UEFA Champions League Final (Part I)

Stade de France, Paris, France. The venue for the 2000 Champions League final.

The players were ready to play, and Jiangshan clapped them one by one.

Mendieta, Gerard, Carboni, and Angeloma all gathered next to Jiangshan, "We'll do what you planned, don't worry." โ€

"Yes, we want to win more than you do." Angeloma remained calm.

Jiang Shan patted them on the back, "Listen to me, we will definitely win the final championship." โ€

He's nervous, too! It's definitely the first time. Who doesn't have a first time? Everyone's first time is tense and exciting.

Bosque and Cooper shook hands, smiling with knives in their smiles.

Bosque wilted, "Jiang Shan turned out to be your assistant?" It's a good thing you didn't listen to his arrangement, otherwise I would be in trouble today. โ€

He had given a speech at Wukang University before, and Jiang Shan specially asked him to discuss the deployment of troops, and Bosque didn't know Jiang Shan's identity until a few days ago, and he was a little depressed.

Cooper was not angry in his heart, "It's a country again, and everywhere is a country." He immediately responded, "Jiang Shan is just my assistant, but I am the head coach." โ€

Bosque's image is not as handsome and stiff as Cooper, and when the two shake hands, Cooper is undoubtedly more attractive.

Anyway, Bosque is also quite sad. He led Real Madrid to great success, winning two Champions Leagues in three years and at least one in each year, but was sacked by Florentino immediately after winning the league title in 2003.

It's just joy and sorrow. The reason is said to be that Bosque's personal image does not match Real Madrid's temperament...... Doesn't that mean that people are too handsome? Since then, Bosque and Florentino have been at odds, and later Real Madrid wanted to award Bosque a gold medal, but Bosque ruthlessly and coldly refused.

When the starting lists of the two sides came out, Cooper breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the same as Jiang Shan expected, 532, hmph, it's not so easy to deal with me." โ€

Real Madrid's goalkeeper is a young Casillas, with Carlos, Ivan Campo, Elguera, Karanka and Salgado in the back line from left to right, and Raul, Redondo and McManaman in midfield.

Of course, Raul is more of a midfielder in the game, and he is a competent striker. The two strikers on the field were Anelka and Morientes.

Valencia's main players at the back are all in action. The goalkeeper is still the white-haired Canizares, and the back line is Carboni, Pellegrino, Djukic and Angeloma from left to right.

It's also strange to say that Valencia's main backline is not top-notch in terms of individual defensive ability, Pellegrino turns slowly, and the two fullbacks are old, but the combination of these people is quite good, almost leakless.

The two old men, Carboni and Angeloma, played in the last few league games, and they maintained their form well and fully recovered. In the last game, Carboni was injured in this game and was not in the squad, and his place was replaced by Gerrardo.

Mendieta did not allow for a starting XI in the midfield position, the other three were Farinos, Gerard and Gonzares, and the forward positions were Worm Lรณpez and Angulo, which also did not change much.

The players of both sides are too familiar with the same league, so it depends on the on-the-spot performance. Bosque was a little depressed, Carboni actually started, and Raul and Salgado were a little more likely to be limited by the old ruffian.

Fans all over the world are paying attention to the Champions League final, and even in Huaxia, many fans get up in the middle of the night to watch. They saw again the young people in the teaching assistantships, young people like them.

Beep!

With the whistle of Italian head coach Blaschi, the game began.

Jiangshan's heart was pinched up in an instant, and the moment of excitement came.

Cooper's tactics were clear, the players were inexperienced and more nervous, and they could only start steadily, just waiting for the opponent to attack, and then get into the groove and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Bosque seemed to anticipate Cooper's set-up, and the tactical arrangement was domineering, seizing the two wings to attack, and Carlos and Salga how long to press through the half and become wingers.

The formation of 532 became the formation of 352 as soon as it opened, and it was menacing. Cooper was inexplicably anxious, the Champions League final was not as expected, he was a little conservative.

Originally, he was going to fight back with the wings, but Bosque was just as solid defensively in his set-up. The 532 formation is a big pocket in defense, and Valen's players rush into the pocket and can't get out at all.

Mendieta was taken care of by Carlos and Raul in turn, and there was no room for free play at all, and the kick was extremely uncomfortable and almost invisible.

The situation is even worse for Gerrard, who has become the team's main point of possession after Mendieta was restricted, and the burden of breaking through the middle is all on him. But he faced more Real Madrid players and the situation was more difficult.

As soon as Gerard broke through McManaman, Karanka rushed up again, interrupting his rhythm, and with Redondo on the side, the ball was easily broken.

Real Madrid's defense in the midfield and back is very targeted, winding around the flanks, dealing with Mendieta and Gonzalez, and the middle is a strict defense and does not give Gerrard a chance to share the ball.

Forcing him to break through with the ball, Real Madrid took advantage of the numerical advantage to steal.

Jiang Shan saw Real Madrid's tactical arrangement, and the whole person was not good, didn't he tell Cooper about these tactics? Cooper didn't even have targeted measures?

Cooper was also depressed, "Rub, is Jiangshan a roundworm in Bosque's stomach?" How did you guess everything? โ€

In the 35th minute of the game, Valencia had been passive, the goal had been in danger several times, and if it wasn't for Canizares' brilliant save, they would have fallen behind.

Jiang Shan thought that the previous Valen lost the ball in the 39th minute, and finally couldn't help it, rushed down and whispered to Cooper, "Let the two fullbacks plug in, suppress their attack, and release Mendieta." Otherwise, Carlos will be in great trouble. โ€

"You don't need to teach me." Cooper was in a bad mood, and at this time Jiangshan came over to be verbose, he was just an assistant, no, just a scout, a part-time scout.

Carboni and Angeloma looked at the sidelines, saw Jiang Shan's gestures, and began to gradually press on the counterattack, crossing the opponent's half.

There was an extra spot at half-time, and the pressure on Mendieta was reduced. Raul couldn't let Angloma go, so he had to follow back to the defense, and there were suddenly a lot more people on the edge of the box.

Mendieta receives Angeloma's diagonal cross near the penalty area, brushes past Redondo and crosses in front of goal. Worm Lopes suddenly cut in and picked up the shot, Valencia's best chance since the opening.

Casillas made a brilliant save to get the ball out of the box, and Carlos received the pass, activated it, and cut it in.

Angeloma quickly chased back, still a step slower, not Carlos's opponent in terms of speed.

Jiangshan's heart was beating faster, looking at the time, it was exactly the 39th point. Sure enough, Carlos got up and shot from distance. The difference from the previous game was that Carlos shot straight at goal, not from a free-kick, but it was more threatening.

Bang! The ball was blocked by centre-back Djukic.

At this time, Angeloma met the ball and twisted it away before the Real Madrid player, and he came with an unseen pass to Gerrard in front.

Mendieta and Gerard switched positions, with Herard bursting in on the flank, with only one Raul following and Carlos not yet back.

Jiang Shan didn't sit down when he returned to his seat, his heartbeat was faster than Herald's footsteps, it changed, it was different from the previous life, did it work? This is his tactical arrangement, the tactical arrangement that he quietly arranged with the players.

Cooper was also nervous, he didn't expect the player to have an idea, the effect was good, and finally pulled out the space for counterattack.

The four of them went down quickly, and what they ate was the gap left by Real Madrid's offensive and defensive transitions.
