As the final draws closer, so does the focus on Brazil.

In terms of influence, although the Confederations Cup cannot be compared with the World Cup and the European Cup, under the strong operation of FIFA, and there are many top teams among the participating teams in this Confederations Cup, not to mention that the national team in 2013 did not have any major events, the Confederations Cup has naturally become the focus of attention of fans all over the world.

Fans came to Brazil, came to Rio de Janeiro, ready to watch the final, they naturally will not be stingy with a little ticket money, from Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo, to see the German team's training camp, but almost most of the fans can not find the German team's training location at all, so they can only block the Moromby Hilton Hotel in Sao Paulo.

There are also some fans who have been able to find the city of Kotia, where the German national team is located, through various connections, and a small number of them have touched the Kotia training base, but all of them have been turned away by the security guards.

A few people even sneaked up the hillside along the narrow road leading to the town, and they all noticed that the walls of the Kotia training base were gathered at the foot of the hillside, and the areas on the hillside were covered by densely planted green belts, and they wanted to dig a gap in this green belt.

It's a pity that they couldn't find anything in the end, because even if they saw through the green belt, what they saw inside was a dormitory and a training building, but they couldn't see the training ground, and the slope difference between the hillside and the training base was huge, as high as one floor, and the highest even had a three-story gap, unless he was willing to jump, otherwise, it was impossible to get in.

When did Bosque hear from Francisco? Jimenez couldn't help but laugh when he heard this anecdote, "How do I think our scouts have become spies now?" Is it another day, let's invite a few FBI scouts? Maybe they might be able to help us spy on the military! ”

Tony? Grande heard the old man's words. I can't help it. Today's football is indeed different from what it was back then, and because of the abundance of funds, many teams can even arrange a scout to closely follow the opponent, spy on all the information of the opponent, and even use some necessary means, such as buying staff.

"Yang Cheng has always done a good job in this area, and it has always been difficult for us to find out what he is preparing for, and now this Cotia training base. The rigor is better and better than it was in Gdansk. ”

Jimenez couldn't help but nod when he heard this, at least he didn't dig up much valuable information from the German team.

At this point, the German team did a better job than the hosts, Brazil.

Although after Scolari came to power, the Brazilian team did a good job of secrecy, and the training camp was also arranged in the national team training base on a hill outside Rio de Janeiro, which should have been said to be full of secrecy, but there is a way. Day and night defense. Have one's hand in the till.

Brazilian newspapers have provided a lot of help to others in spying on military intelligence, and coupled with the carelessness of the staff in security measures, it is not so difficult to spy on Brazilian military intelligence, even if they are hiding in the mountains and conducting closed training.

On the other hand, the German team, Yang Cheng has always been very strict in the work of information confidentiality, and it is said that the Sao Paulo club has invested a lot of money this time in order to complete the cooperation with the German team. The Kotia training base was renovated.

Without further ado, where is the Kotia training base? I'm afraid that not many reporters in the world can find it on their own, and such a secret training base can't reassure Yang Cheng, and he has to be perfect in secrecy, so it can only be said that this guy's requirements in this regard are too perverted.

"On the one hand, he was afraid that others would see it, and on the other hand, he always arranged scouts to spy on the opponent's intelligence, and the spies sent by Yang Cheng even wanted to pretend to be students to sneak into the school before. As a result, we found out, called the security guards directly, and kicked them out, but we can also see how difficult this group of pervasive guys is! "Tony? Grande said with a smile.

If this kind of spy war between the two sides is written into a novel, it may be a big hit.

Of course, spying on the football field is certainly not as bloody and exciting as the spy war between countries, but compared with the fair and honest contest on the football field, the contest in intelligence warfare is under the table.

"I wonder if Yang Cheng has received our latest information?" Bosque asked, furrowed.

Just yesterday, Ramos showed up on the national team's training ground and did some training, and then Bosque spoke to reporters and said that Ramos is not a big problem and should be able to appear on the field of tomorrow's final.

This is clearly to hit the smoke bomb before the game, so that the opponent can't tell whether Ramos is injured or not!

"I should have received it, but I just don't know what Yang Cheng will do!" Tony? Grande said.

Speaking of which, things in the world are really fair.

In the group stage, Spain is in danger, whether it is Uruguay or Ivory Coast, they have not been able to create much threat to Spain, let alone a team like Tahiti, but the German team, in the three teams of Brazil, Mexico and Japan formed a group of death, which is really miserable.

But when the group stage ended, the German team came out on top of the group, and it was Uruguay that was encountered, Yang Cheng boldly rotated the lineup and gave some players in the main positions to rest, but even so, they still defeated Uruguay 3:0 cleanly and entered the final.

However, unlike Germany, Spain, who played easily in the group stage, faced strong rivals Brazil in the semi-finals, and as a result, Ramos was sidelined due to injury in this game, and the players also struggled in this game.

The group stage was one day later than Germany, and the semi-finals were also one day later than Germany, which led directly to the final, where Germany had one more day of rest than Spain, which put Spain at a disadvantage in preparation, and Ramos's injury also put Spain's lineup in trouble.

Don't underestimate the rest of the day, Spain played Brazil, although in the first half Spain dominated and penetrated the Brazilian goal. But in the second half. Especially in the final period, the Brazilian team was clearly better than Spain in terms of physical fitness, and directly turned the tide.

If the Brazilian team is still like this, will the German team, which is more physically better than Brazil, be even better in terms of physical fitness?

You must know that Yang Cheng's team has always paid attention to physical fitness, especially after he took charge of the German team and went through the European Cup. He's developed a set of effective restorative training methods, albeit odd ones, such as having players go to the ice pool for activities and games after training, and hiring multiple masseurs.

But the effect is very significant!

This is why Spain has to pay attention to it!

"No matter how Yang Cheng responds, we should be clear that we are at a disadvantage physically, we have been in the league for so long, and the main players in our team have participated in the Champions League final. It was more than two weeks less than the rest of the German team. After playing the Champions League final, we rushed to Brazil non-stop, and physically, we were much inferior to our opponents! ”

The German players went straight to the rest stage after playing the league on May 8, and then participated in a training camp to adjust, but the Spanish group of Real Madrid internationals will play in the Champions League final on May 25.

Moreover, the Bundesliga is 18 teams with only 34 rounds. However, La Liga has 20 teams, a total of 38 rounds, the Bundesliga's winter break is long, La Liga's winter break is only two weeks, and then it enters the intensive and frequent schedule after the winter break, so after the winter break, the Bundesliga team can organize training camps slowly. Adjust the fitness, but the teams in La Liga can't, which makes the players in La Liga consume more throughout the season.

Ramos' injury is not without problems, after all, he played in most of Real Madrid's games last season, as well as all the matches of the Spanish national team, which caused him to be very physically exhausted, resulting in an injury against Brazil.

"Since we are inferior to our opponents in terms of physical fitness, then we can only fight quickly!" Bosque set the tone for this final.

This is also a last resort, because you are not physically fit, if you play a protracted battle with the opponent, it will only end up putting yourself in a physical dilemma, the best thing to do is to take advantage of the fact that you still have enough physical energy, completely break the opponent, and set the situation of the game in one fell swoop, at least to be able to score.

The first goal is very important for Spain's active possession tactics, because once the first goal is scored, the game is almost halfway through, but Bosque will not forget the classic case of the European Cup final being reversed by Yang Cheng.

'In this game, we have to give up some of the more aggressive forward passes and put Xavi on and Andres Iniesta to form a duo, Juan Mata and David? Silva plays two wings and Villa is in the middle! Bosque wasn't hesitant.

Many people say that Spain's tactics are very similar to Real Madrid, but in fact, Bosque doesn't feel like it, because it is not the same from the concept, Yang Cheng's team advocates attacking forward, which makes Real Madrid's ball path advance very fast, and the passing line is aggressive, which seems to be creative and creative, but don't forget that creation also represents instability, radicalization, and easy to make mistakes.

In Bosque's side, he allowed his players to make mistakes, but not the kind of mistakes that could drag the team into defeat, so he decided to put Xavi on this game, at least the veteran was more reassuring in his passing skills.

"Let De La Reid play at centre-back?" Tony? Grande asked.

Bosque nodded, "I specially observed Albiol in training, let him and Pique form a double central defender, I am worried that the back line will be chiseled by the German team, but use De La Red, he and Pique form a central defender to make me more reassured, and his ability to take the ball is also a big help to the backline!" ”

De La Reed rose rapidly in the years when Yang Cheng was in charge of Real Madrid, and later switched to central defender, directly helping Real Madrid win the treble, creating the most glorious period in Real Madrid's history.

"But...... "Tony? Grande frowned, "No DelaRed, Harvey?" Alonso plays a single midfielder in midfield, is this too thin? Moreover, De La Reid is a threat in the midfield with the ball and in the back of the attack, and now he is retreating, which is bound to have a big impact on the attack and defense of the midfield! ”

Bosque, of course, knew this too, "but except for DelaRed." Who else do you think we have at centre-back? ”

This question makes Tony? Grande was also speechless. Because it is.

"In order to make sure that the problem you are talking about, so we can't press too hard, we have to make sure we have the ball in hand, reduce the threat of the German team to the minimum, and attack the German team on that basis!"

Bosque's approach is right, I believe that any more stable manager will adopt such tactics, of course, it is not ruled out that some radicals will choose to take a risky change. For example, Yang Cheng has done this before, but that is the practice of outlaws who do not want to die, and it does not mean that Bosque will do the same.

At least looking at what Daddy Bo has done for so many years in his coaching career, he has not been so strong!

…………

…………

"Believe me, Spain will not change their formation, they will continue to attack us in the way they know and do best!"

At the Cotia training base in São Paulo, Yang Cheng at the team's pre-match preparation meeting. A very definite analysis of Spain's tactics. He believes that it is impossible for Bosque's team to change the formation on the spot, which is not in line with the tactical characteristics of Bosque and now Spain, and the risk is amazing, and it is impossible for Bosco to do so.

"So, in this game they will continue to press us, continue to press forward, and put the battlefield in our half!"

Yang Cheng's analysis. Let all the German internationals in the whole conference room be on the lookout, and they will listen very carefully and carefully, because the next game is the final of the Confederations Cup, and if they win, they will have one more hot trophy and glory in their careers.

In such a game, no player needs encouragement, no need for mobilization. They will bring out the best on their own.

'I can tell you that in this game, we're going to be off the ball for most of the game!'

With Spain in possession of the ball, it is natural that the German team will have no ball to kick.

"However, I ask each of you, whether you have the ball or not, you have to keep one thing in mind, it is not the amount of possession that determines the outcome of the game, but the quality of your attack and defense, so you must always maintain the overall formation and positioning of the team for me without the ball, and always maintain the stability of our backline!"

When many players heard this, they couldn't stop nodding their heads, although there was no sound, but they were using this way to promise their head coach, so that Yang Cheng could rest assured that they would go all out.

"I also want all of you to understand that it is a huge honour to win the European Cup, but it has passed, and each of you should be clearly aware that there is a certain gap between us and Spain in terms of overall strength, in individual strength, and we have to admit this gap, so if we want to win, we have to avoid the edge of the other side!"

'I can expect Spain to be a bit less physical, they will attack with all their might from the start, and I ask all of us to shrink our formation as much as possible when we are running and positioning, while keeping it a little bit narrower in width and giving up our flanks to the opposition!'

If there is a full-scale confrontation, the German team must not be Spain's opponent, and Spain will definitely create more one-on-one opportunities, so Yang Cheng hopes to narrow the area of the exchange of fire between the two sides.

Take the initiative to give up the side to attack Spain, and Spain to take the initiative to attack on the side, these are two completely different concepts, take the initiative to let out, I can arrange the defense in advance, let it out for you to attack, no matter how much you attack, the effect is also slim, but the latter is different, the latter is passively beaten, and will be killed at any time.

"As soon as the opposition gets around the box, the full-backs retreat into the box and give up the wings!"

Spain don't actually have a full-fledged winger, at least if Bosque wants to maintain overall attacking stability, he still has to reuse the Real Madrid faction and go the inside route, so the full-backs retreat, to some extent, can limit their inside and let them cross from the wings.

With the current central defender configuration of the German team and the defensive strength of the players, Spain takes the side cross, which is not a big threat to the German team, relatively speaking, it allows Spain to cut inside, which is more threatening and more destructive.

'There's one player in the Spanish squad that needs special attention, and that's Alba, the left wing-back!

The Barcelona left wing-back has completely established himself in the Spanish national team at the European Championships, and his attacking ability is very strong, and the left side is also Spain's best way to create width after encountering restrictions in the front court, and the right side is more dominated by Arbeloa, a defensive player.

"Sven? Bend and Jérôme? Boateng, you have to pay close attention to the movement of this player and his interaction with the player on the left side of the Spanish midfield, if the attack is restricted, Spain will definitely use the left-back to attack, Podolski, block him! ”

"Don't worry, boss, we know how to do it!" Podolsky assured.

This striker plays on the wing, and Yang Cheng attaches the most importance to his defensive awareness and running ability, so in this game he used Podolski to target Alba, and it is best to make the Spanish left-back unable to fly in the game, then the game will be much easier.

But will the situation develop the way Yang Cheng expects?
