Joe Cole is injured!

This undoubtedly casts a shade of gray over everyone.

Qiao Wan waved his hand idly, looking very confident: "Don't worry, the sky can't come down yet, as long as we are ready for the battle!" ”

In the office, the coaches' minds looked a little distracted, and Boas immediately stepped up and turned the conversation to the preparation tactics: "I understand, Stam's problem is not serious, it may or may not be. But now AC Milan is advertising it as if he has retired......"

"Hehe......"

There was finally a burst of laughter in the office, and the awkward atmosphere was broken.

Blanco guessed: "This must be Ancelotti's smoke fight, let's think Stam can't play!" ”

Stam is undoubtedly the top centre-back in football today, but because of his age, he has been plagued by injuries since moving from Lazio to AC Milan last summer.

But there is one statistic that shows what Stam is capable of, and in the 21 games he has started with Nesta this season, AC Milan have won without any suspense.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Stam is the cornerstone of Milan's defence.

Qiao Wan pouted: "Smoke war? It's just a little trick to play at home! ”

Villas-Boas nodded: "That's right, I've been studying AC Milan's backline for the past two days, and it seems that Cafu, Stam, Nesta, and Maldini are indestructible, but in fact this is not the case, their defense is even inferior to Juventus." Unable to get to Stam can't hide the problems exposed by this obviously older backline. ”

"You mean speed?"

Blanco's eyes lit up.

Villas-Boas said noncommittally: "Brazil's full-backs are attacking maniacs. Even in his old age, Cafu still loves to attack. But he's older and obviously struggling with speed. It's no longer as good as it was back then, which requires Gattuso or Stam to fill in. Not surprisingly, Gattuso is the only option for Carlo Ancelotti to keep an eye on Kaka. ”

"Stam is 33 years old this year, and even if he succeeds in the fill-in, he wants to prevent Rooney...... It's also really difficult. ”

Blanco nodded repeatedly.

He was diving into the club for the first time as a coach and found that there was still a lot to learn. Although he is seven or eight years older than Boas, he has a good attitude of humbly teaching.

Qiao Wan couldn't help but admire when he heard it.

This Boas. Having been with myself for a season, I do know my style very well.

Qiao Wanxian believes in an offensive criterion, that is, to hurt his ten fingers. It's better to scrap a finger!

Or, in other words, sprinkle salt on the scars of the enemy until the pain is unbearable and infected!

This makes Chelsea's attack desperate to hit the hole once it finds the opponent's hole. Don't fight until the other party collapses, never stop! Wrong. Even if you hit the other party, you can't stop!

"Wan Xian, this is the Champions League final, I think...... Should we defend solidly and wait for an opportunity to attack again? ”

Blanco cautiously suggested.

In fact, he is right, the league is different from the cup, the league produces results, it relies on offense, and the cup produces results. It's on defense. As a result, teams with a balanced attack and defence tend to be better able to win in cup competitions.

Chelsea are unbeatable in attack, but defensively they are anything but outstanding. The full-backs like full-backs led to frequent openings behind them and were hit on the counter-attack. Although they won the Premier League, they conceded more goals than Manchester United and Arsenal.

Listening to this advice, Boas smiled. What are you kidding to make Joe's cannon shrink back on the defensive? It's simply impossible!

However, Boas knew how to convince Qiao Wanxian, and nodded: "It is necessary to defend solidly, but attack is Chelsea's lethal weapon, and this cannot be abandoned!" Of course, I think Ancelotti will most likely put Shevchenko on the wings in this game, so ...... Wan Xian, our fullbacks don't press too high when attacking, we must leave one behind, the power of Ukrainian nuclear warheads is really not small! ”

Qiao Wanxian squinted his eyes and groaned slightly, nodding slightly, which was considered to be in agreement.

Then Qiao Wanxian suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, AC Milan is not so strong, let's not grow others to destroy their prestige!" Joe Cole is injured and I decided to start Duff with Torres as the single arrow, what do you think? ”

There is little suspense for Duff to start in place of Joe Cole, after all, Van der Vaart has not qualified for Chelsea in European competition this season. But let the young Torres start and abandon the famous Michael. Owen, what's the truth about that?

Whether it is fame or ability, Owen is far ahead of Torres!

The other members of the coaching staff were accustomed to Joe's arbitrariness, and although they had doubts in their hearts, they were all quite calm, but Blanco blurted out immediately: "What? Upper Torres? How can it work! Wan Xian, this is the final of the Champions Cup, the most important game of the season, betting on a 20-year-old player, too risky, right? ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?"

Qiao Wanxian was very calm, and it was obvious that his will was unshakable.

Boas learned a lot about Chinese culture, thought for a moment, and nodded lightly: "Well, I agree with Wan Xian's opinion!" ”

"Huh?"

It was everyone's turn to be amazed.

Villas-Boas is the quintessential defensive expert who pursues a balance between attack and defence, and he is not interested in surprising winning tricks. How could he agree to such a ridiculous arrangement by Joe's cannon?

"If Irving is a shadow killer, Torres is a positive center. With Duff's debut, our ability to break through on the right side has decreased, and the frequency of crosses must have increased. This is one of the strategic roles of Torres on the pitch. ”

The office was unusually quiet, and everyone was listening to Boas's explanation.

Qiao Wan was idle and didn't want to talk nonsense, Boas seemed to have become his microphone, and his status in the team naturally rose.

"Second, have you forgotten that in the FA Cup final, we made a crucial substitution over Arsenal?"

Blanco immediately blurted out: "You mean replacing Owen with Torres?" ”

"That's right!"

Villas-Boas smiled: "Torres's arrival caused Wenger to despise him, so he was relieved to boldly pull the central defender out to make up for the gaps in other positions, and we had a chance to equalize." In the same way, let Torres start, Ancelotti is not exempt! ”

Blanco's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "That's right! If Owen starts the game, then Nesta and Stam will definitely be stable in the middle and dare not rush to attack, even if Cafu inserts the vacancy, it must be a fill-in for Pirlo and others. With Torres, Stam has the capital to fill Cafu's position...... It is convenient for Rooney to break through, and it is also convenient for Torres to grab points, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Hehe, that's right, what about the third?"

Qiao Wan, who was leisurely sipping coffee on the side, opened his mouth.

"Third?" Boas smiled, scratched his head, and said, "Hehe, that's what I thought of. ”

Qiao Wanxian put down the cup and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the referee of the final of the Champions Cup is a Spaniard!" ”

"Huh? haha……”

first hesitated slightly, and then suddenly daxiao.

That's right, Torres is a Spaniard!

is the so-called: the fellow sees the fellow, and the tears are full of eyes.

If Gonzalez had seen his Spanish compatriots on the final field, he would have taken care of him more, avoiding a red card, awarding a penalty, or something......

Blanco laughed and shook his head. This Qiao cannon is really shameless to the point of perfection!

"Okay, let's fly to Istanbul tomorrow, and we must not leave behind today's training. A team's worst enemy often comes from within, from within! ”

Qiao Wanxian's words resonated with everyone.

He then added: "Also, for the warm-up at the Istanbul Sports Arena, I want to warm up 15 minutes earlier and all the players have to warm up 15 minutes longer than usual!" ”

The crowd quickly recorded this request and told the players at the game preparation meeting. They understood that Qiao Wanxian was planning to enter a state of all-out combat at the beginning of the game and launch a fierce attack!

……

……

Chelsea are secretly laying out tactical requirements, and AC Milan have also started closed training at the Milanello training ground.

There is a lot of buzz about the upcoming final, with everyone fighting for a ticket to the Istanbul Sports Arena.

In addition to the tickets, the prediction of the outcome of the match has caused an uproar across the continent.

There is no doubt that in the Champions Cup, Chelsea, which has been a giant team such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Juventus, has an absolute advantage.

In the voting of managers of the 14 European giants, all but three remained neutral, and nine of the other 11 managers believed that Chelsea had the advantage. But they also left a way out, saying that whoever plays well in the final will win.

In addition, the managers of the national team, including Aragonés, Scolari, Pekerman and Jurgen Klinsmann, have also expressed their opinions, believing that Chelsea have a better chance of lifting the Big Ears Cup. They believe that Chelsea have an absolute advantage from the very beginning of the game, and that there is only one way for AC Milan to win, and that is to create the Istanbul miracle!

The national team managers such as Lippi, Eriksson, Domenech and Van Basten are all optimistic about AC Milan, and they believe that the Rossoneri can win, because Chelsea have leaked the team's fatal flaws in the process of winning the FA Cup, and Ancelotti will definitely seize the opportunity and laugh.

But to the disappointment of countless European media, Joe Cannon disdained to comment on Ancelotti, and Ancelotti was a mild PR style, with no word in the conversation, and the imaginary war of words did not appear.

What to do?

At this time, the Prime Minister from Italy and the owner of AC Milan club Bellukosini stepped forward. (To be continued......)
