217. Prepare for the Champions League final
May 25th. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are still four days to go before the final showdown, but the whole Ajax squad has already arrived in London.
Thanks to the close relationship between Arsenal legend Bergkamp and Arsene Wenger, they have loaned to Arsenal's training base as a preparation ground, but the Arsenal players have left the club to start their own vacations, so Ajax has not been able to play a warm-up practice match with the Gunners.
While Van Basten has been instilling confidence in his players, and Ronshert has said on several occasions that the team must be champion, everyone has chosen to be cautious and low-key when the decisive battle is approaching.
Except for a small number of Dutch media outlets who were given access to the pitch for 20 minutes a day, the Ajax staff kept out all British journalists who knew nothing but gossip and stalking players to prevent their own intelligence from leaking, but despite this, there were still many reports with the name of "insiders" that were published in various media outlets.
If it was the Chinese team, it would definitely be closed training at this time, and then after a week of closure, there would be no change from before......
Van Basten may not have as much coaching experience as Alex Ferguson, but as a player he has been through a lot of ups and downs, and he knows what the players need at this time.
"This afternoon is a video analysis, after which you can go to the movies and concerts, you can go shopping, you can even go to the pub for a drink, but I want everyone to remember that we are not here to travel, and I don't want a journalist to call me early tomorrow morning to ask why my players are being photographed by the paparazzi in some indescribable places."
Van Basten set the rules for his disciples before signaling Witzger to start playing the video.
This is a collection of Manchester United's recent games, including league matches with Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, as well as Champions League matches with Real Madrid and Chelsea.
The coaches' cuts are very targeted, reflecting both United's attacking routines and how their defensive players work together.
'Manchester United's style of play was like that a long time ago, with a strong focus on two wings and their wide players tend to be the best players in the team.
Bergkamp, who has played the role of commentator for many years in the Premier League, pointed to the predicted line-up on the tactical board:
'Their goalkeeper is 100 per cent Van der Sar, a legend for our Dutch football and Ajax. Although he has announced his retirement in the summer, everyone should note that he is not an easy guy to deal with.
The selection of the back line is relatively clear, Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic are definitely the main starters as long as they are healthy, the only change is the right wing-back, their captain Neville is in a serious decline, it is difficult to start in such a game, and the rest are Fabio, Rafael, and Brown, which are not particularly reliable options.
The midfield may be more varied, the left midfielder is Ryan Giggs or Nani, the right midfielder should be Valencia, the middle options are Carrick, Scholes, Park Ji-sung, Anderson, Fletcher and others can be replaced, no one is the absolute main force, and no one can be easily ignored, so they must be guarded against.
Up front, Rooney and Berbatov shouldn't have any problems pairing......"
After Bergkamp introduced United's squad, Van Basten gave another indoctrination of faith:
"In fact, our opponents are not very strong, Van der Sar is 40 years old, and his reflexes are obviously not comparable to when he was younger, otherwise Stegrenberg would not have become the number one goalkeeper of the Dutch national team today.
Their backline may seem monolithic, but their character is too one-size, and the overall age is a bit ageing, and I'm sure Luiz can easily find space in their midst.
In midfield, Valencia and Nani are both very fast wide players, but I don't think they are faster than our vice-captain, and the main thing is that they don't have Ronaldo's ability to shoot and score, so they are not a big threat on the wings.
As for the strikers, Berbatov has always been a slacker and I remember in many games he didn't even run as well as the goalkeeper and Wayne Rooney was probably the only player we needed to pay special attention to. But don't be nervous, there isn't a real superstar among these main players, think about it, we have beaten Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi and other superstars this season, and the only player in Manchester United's squad (Owen) may not even be able to get on the bench......"
Some of his analyses are certainly not objective, but perhaps the players need such psychological hints:
Yes, we can even beat super giants like Cosmos and Galaxy, so what's so big about a declining Manchester United?
-
Ajax had not trained outside since they had just flown on a plane, and after watching the footage and analysing the tactics, Van Basten announced the official end of the day's work.
The players left the training base in twos and threes, and Ronshit slipped into the streets with Suarez, Blind, Eriksen and others.
Although Amsterdam is also a cosmopolitan city, it is still slightly inferior to the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets, which has dominated the world for hundreds of years, and at least for the likes of Ronshit, the city is a real megacity.
Former Ajax players and now Tottenham staples Donny van der Vaart and Pienaar hosted them as hosts, and a group of people sat in a well-known London pub, drinking light drinks and talking about football and life.
"Don't underestimate Manchester United, maybe they are not top players in every position, but they can often play beyond the average in the game," the two old-timers kindly reminded the youngsters, "Their manager is the scariest thing about this team!" ”
Even someone like Suarez, who usually doesn't care, nodded slightly.
Although they have never played against Manchester United, anyone who has played in European football should have heard of the Red Devils Manchester United and their manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, the king of the Red Dynasty.
He became a coach as an unknown Scottish player, then coached the declining Manchester United, and then spent the rest of his life working hard and spent more than two decades building Manchester United into the superpower it is today.
He and Manchester United have so many stories to tell:
At the beginning of his coaching, he dared to make an arrogant oath of "kicking Liverpool off the throne", the ninety-second class with one hand, the black wind twins, King Cantona, the first Champions League title and treble with a magical strike, his jazz title, the time of Ferguson that made all opponents helpless, was criticized for covering the sky in the British Isles, the duel with Arsene Wenger's older generation, the confrontation with Mourinho's old and new, the subdued referees led by Howard Webb, and banned the BBC, the most famous media in England, for seven years, The sharp words to the outside world made the reporter helpless, the iron-fisted internal management of the army to expel the meritorious captain Keane, the hair dryer known as the locker room, the flying boot door in the face of Xiaobei's rage, the desire to kill Wenger and Victoria at the same time with a pistol, the discerning eye to cultivate Rooney, and Dong Fangzhuo......
Van der Vaart is right, as long as that old man is still the manager of Manchester United, this Red Devils team should not be taken lightly!
