Chapter 123: The Final
Updated: 2013-10-27
No one cares about the outcome of the Atalanta league match against Palermo, Digan didn't even follow the team to the away game, Mandolini just brought a large group of substitutes who usually don't have many playing opportunities, and temporarily transferred a few people from the youth team to the away game.
The final result was 0:1, Atalanta lost a game against Zuihou, but all this was no longer important, and Mandolini also deliberately gave up a game of Zuihou to prepare for the Coppa Italia final against Roma.
At the beginning of this season, the final of the Coppa Italia will no longer be a home-and-away competition as before, and the winner will be decided.
The venue for the final was arranged at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, which is also considered the treatment of the capital, and Rome can be regarded as a home game, first of all, in terms of time, location, and people, Atalanta is at a disadvantage.
The 105,000-seat Olympic Stadium also reached 20,000 Atlanta fans who came with the team today, but in front of the more than 80,000 Roma fans, they still looked lonely.
Roma fielded their more accustomed 442 formation today, with goalkeeper Zotti, centre-backs Mex and Ferrari, full-backs Zivo and Panucci, Mancini Jr. in midfield, Duckett, Totti and Candela in midfield, and Cassano and Montella up front.
On the Atalanta side, Mandolini also sent 442, goalkeeper captain Taibi, central defenders Gamara and Montero, full-backs Maxwell and Cassetti, midfielders Albertini, Lazzari, Nocerino and Montolivo, and Digan and Pazzini up front.
Montolivo was a little further down in this game in order to strengthen the defensive ability of the midfield, although Atalanta beat Roma home and away this season, but no one would be naΓ―ve to think that Atalanta is really much better than Roma.
Before the game started, those experts sitting in the studio did their best to analyze the starting lineups of both sides, and they can analyze the flowers for you with a simple eleven people.
In fact, the formation is just something written on paper, and when it comes to the game, how can the formation be so fixed, saying that it is 442, do you really always insist on 442?
Football matches are dynamic, and the formation cannot be static, depending on the change of the game situation, depending on the time of the game, the formation is constantly changing. 442 can become 343, it can also become 433, and it can become 4231, spitting on the formation before the game is meaningless, it is completely idle egg pain.
In the locker room, the coaches of both sides did not choose to discuss the opponent's lineup at this time, because there was really nothing to discuss.
Instead of analyzing what the opponent will do, it is better to insist on focusing on me, and the real competition is still left to the playing field.
Mandolini and Roma's coach Spalletti is not a master tactician, but the homework of this game has long been decided, and the opponent's tactics have been thoroughly studied, what each player should do on the field and what should not be done, these things have been told to the players a long time ago, and they have to practice according to these requirements in training, and it is impossible for the game to start in 20 minutes, and the coach told the players slowly: "Today, what tactics do we play!" β
Isn't that!?
What tactics to play in a game have long been reflected in the usual training, not to mention the Coppa Italia final, which everyone has been preparing for a long time.
Tactics are definitely not something that a head coach came up with at night by looking at the stars at night and thinking of a brain, it was the entire coaching staff through the analysis of the opponent, and it was the crystallization of collective wisdom. It's just that it's obviously more convenient to promote one person than a group of people when the public knows, so a lot of the time tactics seem to be just a matter for the manager alone.
So in the dressing room when the game is about to start, the managers don't talk about tactics, they don't talk about the lineup, what do they talk about?
These ten minutes are the time for the masters of eloquence to show their stunts, the time for the psychologist to regulate the emotions of the players, and the moment for the head coach to turn decay into magic.
For example, Manchester United's manager Alex Ferguson, this is definitely a Hitler-like orator, once his hair dryer is turned on, it can definitely make the players' blood boil, and everyone thinks they are Rambo.
It is said that when Ferguson's speech was in full swing, after the players were screaming and leaving the lounge, the cleaning staff had to go inside to clean up, because many players were so excited that they all peed.
In Atlanta, Mandolini didn't have that opportunity, because his subordinates already had a natural agitation expert, so naturally he didn't need to waste any more saliva.
"We've got ten minutes left, guys! It's a game we have this season in Zuihou, ten days ago, just ten days ago, we celebrated together at the Blue Italian Stadium, the first league title in the history of the Atalanta club, and today, let's be on the territory of the Roma, right! That's right! Right here, let's celebrate our Coppa Italia title together! Double Champion, I think you're all already feeling the blood boiling, for us Bergamo buns, the Double Champion, that's just a fantasy plot! But today all we have to do is go and make it happen! β
In the locker room in Atlanta, Deegan was roaring passionately at his teammates, who would be blind if he didn't thrill the country's leaders.
"Before the game, the prince of Roma had already said that they were going to console their fans with a win, with the Coppa Italia title, because they had been such a shit season, they didn't even get into the Champions League. The purpose of our coming here today is to let that little prince take another laxative, to clear his head, and if he wants to win the Coppa Italia, he must first ask this season's double champion Atalanta if yes! Guys! Remember, our league title is the result of our true prowess, because we are the best team on the planet, and the best team deserves to crush all the enemies, make them feel fearful every time they face us, and keep us in their nightmares forever! β
Deegan noticed that his teammates' faces had changed slightly, everyone clenched their fists, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Digan smiled, as if remembering some funny joke, and continued: "Some say that our opponents are very strong, very strong, and some say that the Coppa Italia winner has already been booked by them. I don't agree with that, Roma are a good team, they have won some championships, but those are in the past, and they have nothing to do with today's game, and what are we Bergamo buns to do, what we have to do is Robin Hood, we shuttle through the jungle surrounded by strong enemies, constantly rob the victory, rob the champions, know that their self-righteous aristocratic lords recognize us, admit our existence! We're Atalanta, we just have to play our own football, so we won the league and today we're going to win this Coppa Italia on Roma's doorstep! β
The players in Atlanta were so excited by Degan's words that many simply clenched their fists and trembled slightly.
Nervous?
Hell, it's fucking exciting! Do you understand!?
"They consider themselves to be high aristocrats, they play so-called artistic football, they are like spotless gods, they don't eat the fireworks of the world. But this season, we've let them look at them for what they are, we've poured countless laxatives into their stomachs at home and away, so they have to look up to us now, look at sixth in the league, look at the league winners, so they're not gods at all! We have nothing to fear, we are here today to beat them, to smash their goal, to make them lose face, and I can tell you now, the Romans, they have lost today, and their little tricks will not work at all in front of us! β
Deegan roared hoarsely, mobilizing everyone's emotions.
After Degan finished speaking, there were no bloody declarations and roars in the locker room, and the Atalanta players looked at Deegan with a firm and confident face, although he was not the captain of the team, although he was far from being qualified compared to any of the players here, but at this moment, Deegan was the leader of Atlanta, a well-deserved leader.
They were convinced that even the Romans would never have been able to prevent them from winning the double, and they were convinced that they would be the winners of Zuihou.
Degan waited for his teammates to digest for a while, and saw that the time for the game was coming, and turned to look at Mandolini, who had already done the mobilization work, and it was the turn of Mandolini, the manager, to give the battle order.
Mandolini stood up with a serious face, looked at his players, and said, "Boys! We've had a great season, and now it's time to draw a perfect end to this great season, when you play, whether it's defense or offense, be fierce and positive, put pressure on them from any angle, don't be afraid of fouls, don't be afraid of cards, as long as you can make them feel scared, we've already won half of it, go on, boys, this is the most haode stage to prove yourself, and the most haode opportunity, tell the whole shijie with practical actions, Atalanta is the strongest team! We just want to be champions! β
