"It's okay, Jimmy, I know you've done your best."

The first half ended 0-0 between the two sides, and Yang Hao greeted the Atletico players who walked off the pitch on the sidelines.

Especially Hasselbaink, who missed a great opportunity at the last moment, Yang Hao comforted him.

"Believe me, there is still a chance in the second half, keep going!" Yang Hao encouraged.

Hasselbaink barely mustered up and nodded heavily.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and observed the situation of the Real Madrid players.

It can be seen that they are all panting like cows, and it is obvious that the physical consumption in the first half is very large.

When Atletico Madrid counterattacked just now, McManaman didn't defend much, and Salgado's return speed was also slow.

These inconspicuous details all show one thing, Real Madrid's physical consumption is very large.

"They're starting to have fitness problems."

Juanma Lillo's opinion is similar to Yang Hao, "But if I am Bosque, since I have pressed out in the first half, I will definitely have to fight for a goal in the second half, and then consume it like this, Real Madrid will suffer too much." ”

Yang Hao nodded, he also felt that Bosque would definitely grab another wave.

If you really want Atletico to drag it down, it is Real Madrid itself who suffers.

Bosque looked simple, but he wasn't stupid at all.

……

Back in the locker room, Yang Hao quickly gathered all the players.

He began by analysing some of the problems that the team exposed in the first half, with a focus on the left side against Real Madrid.

Many fans in 2023 probably have little impression of Savio, but the Brazilian winger is now a hot talent in European football, and Chelsea are willing to spend a whopping £20 million to sign him, which shows how popular Savio is.

Real Madrid were competing with many European giants for Denilson, and as a result, the Brazilian talent moved to Real Betis for a record price, and Real Madrid subsequently signed Savio from Flamengo.

This is a shortcoming to replace Denelson.

Unlike Denilson, who was getting back and out at Real Betis, Savio was getting better and better at Real Madrid, mainly because he formed a very compatible wing attacking combination with Carlos on the left.

Even after Bosque took over, he changed to a back five, and Savio was still able to get a position.

If Real Madrid played with three strikers, they would have won Savio, but if they played as two strikers, Savio would have basically locked on Redondo's left side and continued to partner Carlos.

This attacking left flank is the source of Real Madrid's attack, and the whole of European football has to be feared by the three points.

However, in the first half, Atletico put heavily on the right flank, and although a few chances were created, the threat from the left side of Real Madrid was basically contained.

Yang Hao concluded that if Real Madrid were to attack, the left side would definitely be the key.

"Reuben, Roberto."

Yang Hao named the names of the two players, Baraja and Fresneto.

They are both defenders on the right side of the midfield.

"Savio likes to have the ball, I hope you can make it a little bit more difficult for him in the second half, a little bit of intensity, but pay attention to the scale, you know what I mean?" Yang Hao asked

Baraja and Fresnedoso are both professional players, so why don't they understand the manager's intentions?

Although Savio is a white Brazilian, he is not strong in physical confrontation and is good at technique.

Yang Hao's meaning is very clear, you can use some small actions if necessary, as long as you pay attention to the foul scale.

"Juan." Yang Hao looked at Belleron.

The latter took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand, boss, I didn't play very well in the first half. ”

He was closely guarded by Redondo.

The Argentine defender is really strong, his individual defense ability is very good, and his movements are relatively rough, and Belleron has not had a good way to get the ball a few times.

"I know you did your best, but I'm still the same, run more, move more, try to avoid Redondo's zone, get the ball in the gaps, pass the ball fast, don't let the ball stay at your feet for too long."

It's actually an old problem for Belleron, or rather, a habit of traditional midfielders, who like to keep in control.

Yang Hao told him many times, hoping that he could increase the touch of the ball and try not to control the ball too much.

But playing habits are such a thing, it's really not something that can be changed.

"I believe in you, Juan, come on!" Yang Hao put his arm on Belleron's shoulders and encouraged.

After finishing speaking, Yang Hao applauded vigorously and motioned for everyone to look over.

"Everyone."

Yang Hao confronted all the players in the locker room.

The game has been played so far, and there is nothing to hide from each other, so to hide.

"It's the last game of the season."

"I know a lot of us are going to leave our team after tonight, but that's okay, I really hope you can still do well after you leave."

"But I also really want you to think about whether you are willing to leave something for Atletico Madrid and for the team you used to play for in this last game."

"We've done a miracle of relegation success and you've been praised by the media and fans all over the world, but are you satisfied? The Copa del Rey is just around the corner, and you're just 45 minutes away from it. ”

"I believe that all of you here are players who have a career to aspire to, you are the best players in world football, if you want to, you will definitely be able to do it."

"Believe me, do your best to fight for the last 45 minutes, win this championship, and engrave your name in the honor room of Atletico Madrid, it will definitely be the glory of your life!"

"Finally, let's join hands and take to the pitch and take down Real Madrid!"

The players came over one by one, stretched out their hands on the back of Yang Hao's hand, and finally shouted one, two, three, and shouted in unison.

"Knock out Real Madrid!!

……

"The second half of the game was restarted."

"We saw that Real Madrid really showed aggressiveness from the start."

"Even their players have been a little bit reoriented."

'Savio and McManaman are also more on the wing, which is a clear signal to further strengthen the wide attack, and Raul is also active on the left.

"Also, we've noticed that Campo will be a little bit further forward."

'This player is versatile and can play as a midfielder and centre-back.

'In addition, we have seen that Nicolas Anelka, Guti and Karembu have also warmed up on the sidelines and are ready to play.

……

Yang Hao turned his head, glanced at the movement of Real Madrid's bench, and saw the eye-catching Karembo, and his mind was a little distracted.

Well, his wife is beautiful.

A classic combination of Beauty and the Beast.

But soon, he retracted his mind and guessed Bosque's intentions.

"He's always ready to step up the attack." Yang Hao turned his head sideways and said.

Juanma Lillo nodded, "He's determined to score first." ”

"Then we'll teach him a lesson!" Yang Hao said fiercely.

He has confidence in the team's defense on the right flank.

Fresnedoso, Aguilera and Baraja formed a right-hand defence that could freeze Real Madrid's attack on the left.

This was confirmed in the first half.

Yang Hao also walked to the sidelines for the first time and gestured towards Baraha, signaling him to pay attention to the defense on the right side, especially Savio, who should be on the intensity and foul if necessary.

And after breaking the ball, immediately organize a counterattack.

When Real Madrid started to press up and attack, it was also when their backline was weak and their problems were exposed.

……

Baraha didn't do the math, and this was the first time he had been relegated.

At the age of 18, he made his first appearance for Valladolid in La Liga.

He still remembers that it was the third round of the league against Sevilla, and he played the whole game and scored a goal.

At that time, everyone felt that he would have a bright future.

Scoring on his debut, playing on the right wing, what an eye-catcher.

However, Valladolid were relegated that season and ended up in 18th place, beating Rayo Vallecano in the relegation play-offs.

In the second season of his debut, the 94/95 season, Valladolid only finished 19th and did not even qualify for the relegation play-offs, but surprisingly fortunately, in the 95/96 season, La Liga expanded to 22 teams, and only the bottom team was relegated that season, and all other teams remained in La Liga.

In this way, Valladolid miraculously succeeded in relegation.

In the season when Atletico Madrid won the Double, Baraja began to be a regular for Valladolid, but the team was still relegated.

With his impressive performances at Valladolid, Baraja was able to join Atletico Madrid, who won the double.

But in the star-studded city of Atletico, young newcomers are always particularly difficult.

Baraja's first two seasons were spent in the second team, playing in La Liga, until Sacchi brought him out of the second team.

At that time, he was 23 years old.

Sacchi is a very thoughtful manager, he likes players with high tactical execution, and he uses Baraja as a versatile player, and as a result, Atletico Madrid were still relegated that season.

In this season, the head coach was replaced by the famous coach Ranieri in European football, and Baraja also relied on the accumulation of the past to become the main force of the team for a while, but who would have thought that Atletico Madrid was still in relegation.

Over the past few years, Balaha has found that he has been relegated.

Every season he played in La Liga, and in the end he was fighting for relegation.

He couldn't understand why, just as he couldn't understand why he couldn't play at Atletico.

Confusion, anxiety, self-doubt......

The 25-year-old Baraja is like entering the menopause of a professional footballer, and he has suffered from gains and losses.

This made him completely out of place, reduced to a substitute, or even a substitute within a substitute.

Until the appearance of Yang Hao.

Yang Hao is also 25 years old, but he became the head coach of the team.

Baraja was as hungry for a chance to play as his blood was for oxygen, and he became the first player to show his determination to the manager.

"Give me a chance, I'll fight for you!"

Yang Hao not only gave him a chance, but even gave him enough trust and support.

He became one of the players who played the most minutes after Yang Hao coached Atletico Madrid, and he never even replaced.

And he's getting better and better, especially with his goals.

He was contacted by La Liga's powerhouses in the hope that he would join so that he could escape the nightmare of relegation forever.

This made him very tempted, but he didn't say yes yet.

He needs to devote himself to this final, and he has to work hard for head coach Yang Hao!

That's his promise.

Not long after getting Yang Hao's instructions, when he saw Savio trying to start with the ball, he immediately pasted it, and with a movement in his hand, he pushed Savio from the side with a movement in his hand.

The Brazilians stumbled and looked like they were out of balance, while Baraja cut between the football and the Brazilians, squeezing the Brazilians out of the way.

Savio falls to the ground and Baraja breaks the ball.

The referee did not blow the whistle.
