"Renewal?"

When Yang Hao saw Little Hill, it was already afternoon.

After meeting with his father, the general manager of Atletico Madrid reached a consensus that he was impatient to come to Mahada Hongda, and he wanted to talk to Yang Hao about renewing the contract and stabilizing Yang Hao's talent as soon as possible.

But Yang Hao's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

"What's wrong? What's the problem, you just say. "Little Hill felt that something was wrong.

"I'm sure it's okay, but now there are so many things in the team, we are going to Barcelona to play the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, you don't know, Van Gaal's old stubborn donkey actually compromised with Rivaldo and Kluivert, and now the situation is very complicated, I really can't be distracted."

Yang Hao explained to Little Hill.

What a great situation it was for the team to beat Barcelona 4-1 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, comparable to Cooper's Valencia beating Lazio 5-2 at home?

In this case, you must go all out away and qualify for the Copa del Rey final, right?

Little Hill nodded affirmatively.

Atletico have had a difficult season and it would be a great consolation if they could make a difference in the Copa del Rey.

"Also, we will play Barcelona at home next weekend, if we don't play well in midweek, if we come back, I'm afraid it won't be good." Yang Hao also reminded.

The Copa del Rey semi-finals are important, but relegation is even more important.

Insist on grasping with both hands, we must be hard with both hands.

Xiao Ciel is not stupid, he can hear that Yang Hao is looking for a reason to drag, but there is no way.

"By the way, Michelle, I said before, you can't sell players if you can't do it, you haven't done it yet, have you?"

"Nope." Little Hill hurriedly shook his head, "If there is news, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible, besides, our current financial situation is barely able to withstand it, but it is a little tight, so your bonus must be owed first." ”

Yang Hao has not taken a penny from Atletico Madrid until now.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter to me, the player part must be on time." Yang Hao solemnly advised.

"The other teams were waiting for us to collapse financially, and they were very enthusiastic during the government trusteeship, but now they are waiting on the sidelines, probably wanting to wait for us to be relegated and then come and talk to us." Hill Jr. guessed some of the other teams' thoughts.

"Then let them wait, before the end of the season, you can contact, but you must not sell, after the relegation is successful, the value of our players is not the same as the value of the players of the relegated team." Yang Hao reminded.

He is now confident of Atletico's relegation.

Although on the Internet, Atletico Madrid fans regret that the team failed to get out of the relegation zone, Yang Hao feels normal.

The relegation battle is so cruel.

But it is precisely because of this that the head coach who leads the team to success in relegation is often very favored.

Now they are fighting to 18th place, and they only need to go one step further to get out of the relegation zone.

At that time, Atletico wants to sign, yes, let's talk about it again.

He is the same, and so are the players.

As long as the relegation is successful, the player will never be sold cheaply.

Xiao Cier also felt the strong confidence in Yang Hao's body, he was also deeply infected, and nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I know what to do, as for the renewal ......"

"You can release the news for the time being, just say that I have agreed to renew my contract with the club, and I will definitely coach Atletico next season, but the contract will be over after the season, and we will talk about it when there is more time." Yang Hao said non-negotiable.

In the past, there were no chips, and it would be good to be able to coach, but now it's different, we have confidence!

"Alright, I'll wait for news at any time." Little Hill isn't long-winded anymore.

……

Sending off Little Hill, Yang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After three victories, he finally got a foothold at Atletico Madrid and got a long-term coaching contract.

Of course, the contract is still being finalized.

It's entirely conceivable that if he messes up next, Atletico will definitely reconsider.

He also has a rough idea of how to transfer and form a team in the summer, but it's not time to discuss it yet, because the decision will have to wait until the end of the season.

Some players are definitely leaving, while others are likely to stay.

He's going to build a team that everyone is afraid of!

But for Yang Hao, the most important thing at the moment is Barcelona.

Playing Barcelona twice in the next four days, this challenge is really fresh.

It's also interesting to say, Ranieri was very recognized in Spain back then, because he led Valencia to beat Barcelona three times in one season, and now, if he also led the team to beat Barcelona three times, what would it be like?

But it's not that easy.

Van Gaal recently reconciled with the dressing room, and the two biggest stars, Kluivert and Rivaldo, have said that they will put aside their previous suspicions with Van Gaal and work together to prepare for Barcelona's next three fronts.

In return, Van Gaal also changed his traditional 433 tactics.

In the original 433 tactics, Kluivert was the unstoppable center, and Rivaldo was forced to pull to the wing, which was the biggest contradiction between Rivaldo and Van Gaal.

The Brazilian Demon Knife believes that when he pulls to the side, his ability is limited and he can't play it at all.

As it turned out, the Brazilian had an immediate outburst after Van Gaal moved Rivaldo to the middle.

And after careful consideration, Van Gaal adopted the 3331 tactic.

That is, Kluivert burst forward, followed by Cenden, Rivaldo and Figo, followed by Cocu, Pep Guardiola, Xavi/Gabri, and the back three behind him are generally Reziger, De Boer and Puyol.

It was this style of play that helped Barcelona explode Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals and staged a shocking reversal.

Later, Louis van Gaal continued to play in the league, beating Sevilla 2-0.

Now it's Atletico's turn.

In fact, this set of 3331 formations only needs to look at a glance to know where the problem is, that is, the defense on the side, but the concept it adopts is to replace defense with offense, as long as the front court can suppress the opponent, I am not afraid that you will hit behind me.

Anyone can see that this is actually a forced change of formation, which is very risky, but in today's Barcelona, it has played very well, at least Kluivert, Rivaldo, Figo and others are very happy.

Moreover, it is true that Barcelona do not have a good left wing-back.

For Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid, this game can only be held firmly.

It's not that Yang Hao doesn't dare to take risks, but he really can't take this risk.

Now no one is sure whether Atletico's defense can stop the super luxurious attacking phalanx of Kluivert, Rivaldo, Cendon and Figo, who led 4-1 in the first leg and risked it in the second leg, but it is easier to be blown up.

Therefore, Yang Hao's strategy is to defend the opening at the Camp Nou.

Everyone is like a stake, honestly in the position.

But there is also a difference between stubbornly defending and stubbornly defending.

It would be too bad for Atletico to retreat into the box to defend because a striker like Kluivert would be a huge test for Atletico's backline, because Atletico are afraid of heights.

Therefore, Yang Hao's strategy is to stick to the middle line as in the first leg, and push Barcelona's most threatening attack line out of the most threatening area.

At the same time, start with a stubborn defense, try to slow down the game, so that Barcelona's start can't explode.

The first leg was 1-4, and three goals had to be scored in the second leg, and if the start could not be played, Barcelona would be less and less confident the more they played.

What's more, after 34 rounds, Barcelona is still five points behind Deportivo La Coruna.

With four rounds left in the league, Deportivo La Coruna will play Celta Vigo away in the next round, which is definitely a tough battle.

The duo of Claude Makelele and Serades is one of the best in La Liga this season, not inferior to the combination of Mauro Silva and Flavio of Deportivo La Coruna.

So, for Barcelona, who is more important in the midweek Copa del Rey or the weekend league?

If it explodes at the beginning, then Van Gaal will definitely be a blow, but what if it drags into a war of attrition?

Van Gaal will have to think about it.

It looks like two games, but in fact, Yang Hao sees them as one game in preparation.

If you just prepare for one game after another, a lot of things will be limited, but if you prepare for two games as one game like now, then a lot of problems will suddenly become clear.

……

On the evening of April 25, the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

This is the first time Yang Hao has set foot in this world-famous football hall, looking at the full audience, he deeply understands what is called the 12th person.

The black crowd, the overwhelming sound, even if you just stand in the middle of the court, there is a mountain of pressure on your face.

Prior to Atletico's match against Barcelona, the Spaniards equalised in the second half at another stadium in Barcelona, the Barcelona Olympic Stadium, after the Spaniard scored a first-half goal at home.

The two sides ended up with a 1-1 draw.

The first leg was 0-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium, so the aggregate score was 1-1, but Real Madrid eliminated Espanyol with an away goal and reached the Copa del Rey final.

This immediately made everyone's eyes fall on the upcoming battle of Camp Nou.

Atletico have the best chance of advancing with a 4-1 lead in the first leg, but Barcelona also have hopes of a home comeback.

No matter who the two teams are, they finally reached the final and met Real Madrid, which is a very big attraction.

Yang Hao only received some news, Espanyol's main central defender, that is, the future European coach, Pochettino, did not play in this game, which had a great impact on the Espanyol backline, resulting in the second half of the goal conceded.

However, neither Yang Hao nor the coaching staff planned to tell the players the news, but let them concentrate on preparing for the game.

When they finished their pre-match training and returned to the locker room, Yang Hao could feel that each of them was ready.

The last three victories have given them a lot of confidence back.

At least they don't seem so confused, they don't suffer so much, they start to become determined, they become confident.

Especially when they look at head coach Yang Hao.

Yang Hao didn't say anything more from beginning to end, but when the bell rang for the referee to announce the play, he looked at every player in the locker room and said word by word: "I have asked them to book hotels and air tickets in Valencia, I believe in you!" ”

The Copa del Rey final was played at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia.
