Chapter 138: Before the game

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on November 9, 2014, before the first game of the 2014 Chinese Football Association Cup final, Yasen took Li Chao and Luneng coach Kuka attended the pre-game press conference with Wang Dalei.

"Coach Kuka is a very talented football coach, I knew him before I came to China, he led Atletico Mineiro to win the Copa Libertadores and finished third in the Club World Cup, and I think he is a role model for us to follow."

"Shandong Luneng is very good, it is one of the most profound clubs in China, it is now the top team in the Chinese Super League, their attack line is not lost to Guangzhou Evergrande, they have also won a lot of glory, it is a respectable club."

"Wang Dalei is very good, he is the best goalkeeper in China. Montillo is a player of exceptional quality, having been selected for the Argentine national team and competing against Messi. Uso is a player I like, very good at interception, very good at scoring from behind, and I think the key to this game is to defend Montillo and Uso effectively. ”

"What, you ask Yongchang's tactical arrangement? All I can say is that we are ready for a tough battle and we will not give up. ”

"Who is better than Li Yun and Wang Yongpo Hao Junmin? Li, of course, is now the FA Cup single-season goal record-setter, and although he is a little inexperienced, he is definitely the strongest central player in China. ”

Yasen's speech was full of admiration for Luneng, and in addition to praising Li Yun, other words were what Shandong reporters liked to hear.

Li Chao naturally understood what Yasen meant, "For us, it is already like a dream to reach the finals, before coming, our manager said to do our best, I think this is the truth, if you can win the game, you can win, if you can't win, you should come to learn, we are very relaxed." ”

"Luneng is very powerful, but I believe that when we meet Luneng in the Chinese Super League next season, our Yongchang will definitely make Luneng look at it differently."

Kuka listened to Yasen and Li Chao's nonsense, and he always smiled faintly, he had carefully studied Yongchang, he knew that Yongchang counterattacked very strongly, and the defense in the recent game was also good, and Yongchang also had a player who belonged to the plug-in level in the Central League.

If Luneng is careless, he may repeat the mistakes of Shuntian, so he feels very funny when he listens to Yasen and Li Chao's words, Yasen and Li Chao just want Luneng to attack so that Yongchang can fight back.

Luneng under Kuka's coaching is the offensive Luneng, Kuka will not strengthen the attack because of Yasen and Li Chao's words, nor will the whole team retreat on the contrary.

Shuntian's mistake was to make Li Yun, Huang Fengtao, Qiao Luo and the three of them pass and receive the ball comfortably, Kuka believes that he curbed the interaction of the three, Yongchang is a toothless tiger.

At this time, Kuka's mind was, let you spit lotus flowers in your mouth, I will stand still, no matter what Yasen Li Chao says, he should not have heard. Of course, when it was Kuka's turn to speak, he still knew what reporters and fans wanted to hear.

"This season, the team has had a lot of difficulties, especially injuries, for a long time, we haven't put out the strongest squad, of course the team itself including me has problems, but we are all fighting tenaciously."

"The league is fifth, I'm sorry, but when it comes to the game, we didn't lose too much, this season against Guangzhou Evergrande Beijing Guoan Guangzhou R&F Guizhou people and such a strong team, we are not at a disadvantage, the reason why we did not enter the semi-finals is completely dragged down by the double-line battle, the AFC Champions League and league at the beginning, and the FA Cup and league later."

"We were very tired from fighting on two fronts, but luckily we persevered, we knocked out a strong team like Beijing Guoan in the FA Cup, and we went all the way to the final, fighting for the title and qualification for next year's AFC Champions League."

"Shijiazhuang Yongchang is a magical team, they are undefeated in the Chinese League 30 rounds and strong overtake, FA Cup they won Shanghai Shenxin Shenhua Jiangsu Shuntian, their team's number one star Li Yun is a very strong player, he broke the single-season goal record of the Chinese Football Association Cup, he is very fast, very capable, I think he can even go to the Premier League La Liga such a super league development, as well as Qiao Luo Huang Fengtao Caron, are excellent players, in short, Yongchang is very strong, We have to be very careful. ”

Kuka's words told Yasen and Li Chao very clearly, brother knows that Yongchang's counterattack is very sharp, and he also knows who to guard, don't talk nonsense, that won't work for brother.

Wang Dalei kept holding back a smile, I think Yasen and Li Chao are talking nonsense with their eyes open, what to do their best, what to reach the finals is enough, but they are all in the finals, who wouldn't want to win the championship.

Wang Dalei believes in Luneng's strength, so he said confidently: "For the game, we are fully prepared, our goal is to win the championship, I think Yongchang also thinks the same, I hope this is a wonderful game." ”

……

Yasen and Li Chao entered the away team lounge together, Yasen gathered the players together, and then said seriously: "Luneng is full of confidence, they have studied us, I think they will have corresponding countermeasures, this game will be more difficult than imagined, but this is what we have to expect a long time ago, now what we have to do is to fully show the tactics we have practiced recently, and this is enough." ”

After thinking about it, Yasen continued: "When attacking, you must advance quickly, run up and pass the ball low to Lee, but don't press too far forward. ”

"The focus is still on defense, Luneng offensive players have strong personal ability, remember the requirements of our training, in addition to actively pressing, but also control emotions, don't care if it's over, don't care how beautiful their movements are, you must stabilize the formation, no matter when, you have to stabilize the formation, you have to believe that even if you are passed, the people behind will fill the position, you don't need to worry."

"The key to our defense is to make it impossible for Luneng to break up our formation and let them not have any good shots on goal."

In the Luneng home team lounge, the players are very relaxed, they talk and laugh with each other, and they have everything, but there is nothing about the game.

Luneng players believe that this time the FA Cup championship is still Luneng's, Luneng has entered the finals seven times and won four championships, this time it is the eighth time, the opponent is the Chinese team, unless there is a miracle, otherwise how can Luneng lose this low-hanging fruit championship.

Kuka saw that the players looked relaxed, but full of energy, his heart was happy, he clapped his hands and said: "Everyone is in good shape now, keep it up, we are better than them, we just need to give a good game for the fans, then the victory will be ours." ”

"Luneng will win!" Luneng veteran, Han Peng, the backbone of the team, shouted.

"Victory!" The rest of the team shouted.

Kuka smiled slightly, and continued: "Remember our previous preparations, the offensive end should be bold forward, lose the ball and counter-attack on the spot, don't let them counterattack, more high balls, and the header will crush them." ”

Kuka has studied that Yongchang's air defense ability is not good, only Jiang Jihong is better, and Li Chao is good at bouncing, but he is too short, and the rest of the people will not compete for the header at all.

"Uso, you are the key to defending Li Yun, you must stop him as soon as possible."

"Understood." Uso grinned.

"Lowe, how are you doing today?"

"Don't worry, boss, you'll definitely be able to score." Lowe said confidently.

"Okay, boys, come on!"

"Victory!" Han Peng took the lead and shouted.

"Victory!"
