Chapter 112: Trust and Confidence

Next.

That is, May 26, the day of the Champions League final.

In the morning, Pan Yi woke up and watched the video of yesterday's press conference in his hotel room.

Allegri didn't look at it, and it almost conveyed to the outside world that Milan would win the championship or something.

Pan Yi mainly wanted to see Heynckes' speech.

Although the head coach usually does a routine job at the press conference, playing Tai Chi with reporters, there are still some clues that can be analyzed from some words.

"I don't think Bayern had a losing season."

"The two runners-up were a bit uncomfortable, but the lads were outstanding."

'If we win tomorrow's game, we'll have a perfect season.'

Heynckes has always been expressionless, making it impossible to see the waves in his heart.

"Our opponents? Milan are clearly a strong team. They put a lot of talented youngsters in the starting line-up at the start of the season, but the coaching staff put them in tune well. ”

"I've seen a lot of their games. Milan's tactics are very ornamental and sometimes pragmatic, which shows that they are very good at coaching and cunning at the same time. ”

"Of course I'm going to make some adjustments to them. They played at a good pace, they were lethal on the counter-attack, they were quick to switch between attack and defence, and we had to limit them. ”

"We're actually playing at home? Thankfully, the fans will give us the most support and help us win the game. ”

"For the sake of the fans, we will also put out the strongest lineup and defeat them in the final!"

……

After the meal, Pan Yi, together with Allegri and Tasotti, gathered the players together for the final pre-match tactical discussion.

In the past week, the team has been training according to the requirements of the coaching staff, focusing on Bayern's characteristics.

Including how to defend, how to attack, how to kick set-pieces, and how to deal with changes on the pitch, etc., these tactics that really fall into the details have been repeatedly practiced in training.

However, before the game, the coaching staff will reiterate some important points with the players to deepen the impression and implement them more strictly.

It's a bit like a day or two before an important exam, and it's often the most important content.

'Based on what Heynckes said in the press conference and how they played in their last few league games, he should still be in the 4231 formation and play against us in attack.

After Allegri finished speaking, Pan Yi began to stand in front of the tactical board and talk while placing chess pieces:

"Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, left-back Alaba, centre-backs Bad Stuber and Boateng Jr., right-back Lahm...... Nothing will change at the back of this line. ”

Saying that, Pan Yi also pointed to Little Boateng's chess pieces and said to Big Boateng with a smile: "In the face of your brother, don't be merciful." ”

Da Boateng pouted: "Don't worry, I've been grabbing his lollipop since I was a child, and he doesn't dare to let go of a fart!" ”

Everyone laughed too.

Milan's big Boateng is called Kevin Prince Boateng, while Bayern's one is Jérôme Boateng.

They are brothers, but Boateng played in midfield and chose to play for the Ghana national team, while Boateng played at centre-back and played for the German national team.

Pan Yi continued: "The two midfielders are usually Tony Kroos and Schweinsteiger, but sometimes Gustavo will also play, the difference is that Tony Kroos will be better in attack, while Gustavo is more defensive. ”

"On the offensive line, Ribery and Robben are two wingers, plus a shadow striker Thomas Muller and a center striker Mario Gomez, and that's basically it."

I have to say that Bayern's lineup is really strong.

Especially in the midfield, these stars swing there, which can really scare people to death.

"They have similarities with us in terms of style of play, and I've already dissected them in previous tactical meetings, so I won't talk about them here."

'But I still have to point out that the focus of our defense is still on the two wingers, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.

As he spoke, Pan Yi glanced at Salah and Mane:

"Everyone knows the ability of our wingers to break through and what happens if the opponent doesn't defend them."

"But what I want to say is that the ability of Ribery and Robben may be even stronger!"

"They're more experienced and better at catching gaps in our defensive formation and tearing them apart without mercy!"

"So, you all have to pay attention, maintain a tight and meticulous formation, and narrow their movement space."

"I showed you the footage of the first game against Barcelona in the group stage, I remember that feeling, lock them up!"

Everyone nodded.

In fact, in the past few days, the coaching staff has been emphasizing the defense of Bayern's world-famous "Robery" combination.

They are both types of players who are good at cutting inside with the ball on the wing, so the full-backs, including the three midfielders, need to work together to contain them.

Specifically, as soon as they have the ball, they have to have at least two players nearby to prevent them from creating a threat.

At the same time, the players around will also pay attention to cutting off their passing lines.

"Also, don't ignore Thomas Müller."

'He may not take the initiative to possess the ball, but he tends to be in the most dangerous places.

"One could even say that he is the most powerful opportunist I've ever seen since Inzaghi on our team."

Next, Pan Yi spent a lot of time emphasizing the defense against Muller.

This guy is definitely an outlier in world football today.

In the Dragon Kingdom, he is known as the "second baby", he usually likes to be funny, but when he comes to the field, he is a front-court all-rounder.

He's played right winger, centre-forward, shadow striker, midfielder, left winger, and all of them played well.

His skills don't seem to be so delicate, but his super reaction speed, all-round shooting skills, super high goal efficiency, high fighting spirit, and excellent running sense have made him a world-class striker.

Therefore, Pan Yi believes that in order to prevent Bayern's attack, in addition to curbing Robery's surprise attacks on both sides, it is also very important to limit Muller's movement.

And this burden is mainly on Kante's shoulders.

Of course, Pan Yi has a lot of confidence in Kante.

He has done almost all the tasks given to him by the coaching staff!

And after the coaching staff finally repeated the tactics and details that need to be focused on in tonight's game, everyone gathered around again and shouted together:

"Milan must win!"

"Victory! Win! Win! ……”

It's not just a pre-match slogan.

What's more, at this time, in each other's eyes, everyone sees two things:

Trust and confidence!
