If someone wants to ask, after having Zidane and Figo, what is the biggest shortcoming in Real Madrid's squad?

Yang Hao must have replied without hesitation, guard.

This is the answer that the whole world knows.

Up front is a combination of Raul and Morientes, Zinedine Zidane and Figo in midfield, Makelele and Elgra behind him, and Savio, Solari, McManaman and Munitis on the flanks.

On the flanks of the backline are Carlos and Salgado, but only the central defender, Hierro and the youngster Pavon who came up from the second team.

It can be said that the biggest shortcoming in Real Madrid's squad is the defenders.

In the transfer market this summer, there have been rumors that Real Madrid have two targets, one is a central defender and the other is Mendieta.

Everyone knows that it will not be easy for Florentino to sign Ronaldo, Shevchenko or Thierry Henry.

And Mendieta finally got a kick in the door and went to Lazio.

The central defenders were recruited from Nesta to Thuram, and then to Cannavaro, Real Madrid almost turned the best defenders in Serie A, and the options were fewer and fewer, and Florentino was obviously not determined.

However, according to the revelations of the newspaper As, after missing the Champions League and league titles last season, Florentino invited many Real Madrid celebrities, including Valdano, to discuss the problem of Real Madrid's empty-handedness.

All of them were pointed at the backline.

'Everyone thinks Real Madrid should sign world-class centre-backs to fill the last gap in the squad.

Of course, it would be even more desirable to sign Mendieta and bring in a world-class centre-back.

Therefore, Real Madrid spent a sky-high price of 45 million euros to sign Cannavaro.

Before the official announcement, Yang Hao had already received the news.

His first instinct was, trouble.

Many people may not understand what it means for Real Madrid to sign a centre-back like Cannavaro in 2001.

As Yang Hao has been saying before, now Real Madrid's lineup is very balanced, and even reached the peak.

If Ronaldo is brought in again, Real Madrid's midfield will be out of balance.

The more superstars are piled up in the frontcourt, the more unbalanced the lineup becomes.

In Yang Hao's previous life, even if Florentino had not sold Makelele in 2003, the lineup would still be unbalanced.

Because there are so many superstars in front of you, how can you not get out of control?

After the sale of Claude Makellele, the squad was completely one-sided, so much so that the subsequent introduction of the likes of Samuel, Woodgate and Cannavaro proved to be a complete failure.

Is it because these players are not capable?

How did Samuel do at Inter Milan after leaving Real Madrid?

Apart from injury, how has Woodgate fared at Middlesbrough after leaving Real Madrid?

But now, Real Madrid's entire squad is still very balanced, with only Zidane and Figo in front of the superstars.

This is equivalent to the fact that in 2002, Real Madrid won the Champions League, plus a peak Cannavaro, just ask if this lineup is strong.

……

"Judging from a few warm-up games, Bosque should have received the news a long time ago."

Yang Hao said to his assistants.

The last thing you want to see Real Madrid strong is Atletico Madrid.

Bosque was specifically studying the 442 tactics in the warm-up game, with Morientes and Raul forming a double striker in front, Zidane and Figo playing on the wings, Zidane still playing as a wide midfielder, and Makelele as a double midfielder behind him partnering Elgra.

Zinedine Zidane on the left side will lean into the middle and let Carlos, who is a full-back, press aggressively.

This is very alarming.

Whether in terms of strength or lineup, Real Madrid is the strongest competitor of Atletico Madrid on all fronts this season.

Especially now, after Cannavaro joined, he partnered with Hierro, and the strength of the back line has been further improved.

Cannavaro is not tall, but he is flexible and has no problem adapting to La Liga.

"Now this La Liga is getting more and more interesting!" Yang Hao was gearing up.

He has always believed that the stronger the opponent and the more pressure there is, the more he will be able to bring out the best in himself and the team.

This season's Real Madrid with a group of superstars wants to take revenge, which is definitely necessary for Atletico Madrid, but it is more important to quickly run in the team and squeeze out the potential.

"Of course, the whole of Spain, even the Catalan media, is now praising Real Madrid's signings, believing that they are strong enough to compete on three fronts this season." Leho was also worried.

The opponent is really too strong.

"Florentino is also ambitious, and it is said that Real Madrid is aiming for the treble in the new season!"

Yang Hao suddenly smiled, "Our goal is to win the quadruple crown." ”

The people around couldn't help but laugh.

Who's to say it isn't?

La Liga and the UEFA Cup last season, two Super Cups this season, if you win both, wouldn't it be a quadruple?

Speaking of the Super Cup, Vigo's opponent Celta Vigo is really a big problem.

How so?

One of the very special things about this team is that they always start the season really well.

They started last season very well.

At that time, they sold the two big midfielders of Serrards and Makelele in one go, and everyone thought that Celta Vigo was going to be finished, but as a result, they performed even better.

Celta Vigo didn't make many transfers this summer, selling last season's substitute centre-forward Argentine Mario Turdo to Rennes for 11 million euros, before signing Brazilian left wing-back Silvinho from Arsenal.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Silvinho transferred to Barcelona with his outstanding performance in Celta Vigo.

Turdo are not the main striker for Celta Vigo, their most important scorer is Enrique Catania.

The Brazilian striker is considered to be the number one figure in La Liga at the beginning of the century, and in Yang Hao's first season in charge of Atletico Madrid, he competed with Salva, Hasselbaink and others for the league's Golden Boot award.

Last season, he also scored 16 league goals, which was very good and consistent.

As Yang Hao said before, Salva, Catania, and Hasselbaink, these three players all have a common characteristic, that is, they have strong personal ability and like to play alone.

And their weakness is also very obvious, that is, they are not strong in the ability to create opportunities with their own technology.

To put it simply, they are the Cake Edges.

Catania also has a nickname, Hairy Crab, which means that he is rampant and domineering in the big penalty area.

In Vigo's tactical approach, Edu of Brazil (not Arsenal) is on the right and Argentine Gustavo López on the left.

And all along, Vigo Celta coach Victor Fernandez has tried his best to build the connection between Lopes and Catania on the left, and the effect is also very gratifying.

Especially this season, the new introduction of Silvinho is still strengthening the attack on the left side.

"In any case, we have to take down the left side of Celta Vigo."

Yang Hao put forward his own requirements.

As soon as they press down their attacking left, Catania's threat is greatly diminished.

……

On the evening of August 19.

In the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid challenged Celta Vigo away.

Although Celta Vigo is far northwest of Spain, this match was the first match of the new season, and Atletico Madrid also accompanied the team to the away stadium, filling the Valedos Stadium in Vigo Celta.

The total capacity of the Valaidos Stadium is 29,000, with Atletico taking a small half.

There is only a 3-day gap between the two legs of the Super Cup, so in the away game against Celta Vigo, Yang Hao did not do his best, but continued to adopt the 4231 tactic.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defenders: Patrice Evra, Pochettino, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfielders: Xavi Alonso and Simeone as a double midfielder; In front are Vicente, Deco and Joaquin;

Forward: Diego Forlan.

The two new signings, Simeone and Diego Forlan, both made their first starts for Atletico.

The first performance of the new season, and just after the preparation period, Yang Hao took the 4231, which the team is more familiar with, and also hopes to be more stable.

In fact, that's pretty much it.

Both teams were still adjusting, so although the game was played at a fast pace, neither was able to control the game effectively.

Atletico tried to control the midfield and possession, but Celta Vigo's aggressive scramble caused Atletico a lot of problems.

The most eye-catching scene of the first half was that after Evra on the left side was full of blood, he rushed along the left side very quickly, received Deco's side ball, cut diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, and suddenly hit a long-range shot with a cold arrow.

The shot hit the crossbar.

Whether it is the attitude or state during the pre-season training camp, Evra has made Yang Hao very satisfied.

He and Aurelio are two different types of players.

A lot of people say that Aurelio is the new Carlos, but in reality, Evra is more like Carlos, Aurelio has better technique and footwork, a bit of the feeling of Alves in the future.

Towards the end of the first half, Diego Forlan had another long-range shot from the edge of the box that was held up by the goalkeeper.

In the end, the first half ended 0-0.

Neither Atletico nor Celta Vigo could find the back of the net.

But after the rematch in the second half, just 10 minutes, Atletico Madrid created a chance in front.

Belletti cut in from the right and crossed to the top of the arc for Deco.

The Brazilian got away from a defender with the ball and sent a pinpoint through ball to the feet of Diego Forlan in the box.

The Uruguayan striker blocked Berizzo with his body and made a gesture to hit the goal directly with his right foot, which scared Berizzo and Sergio Fernandez at the same time.

As a result, Diego Forlan deftly clasped the ball to his left side, turned around, and switched to his left foot!

The ball hangs in the bottom left corner of the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"Diego Fran!"

"In the 55th minute, Diego Forlan scored the goal of Celta Vigo with a brilliant left-footed shot!"

"Oh my God, look at the ball he handled in the box this time, it was really beautiful."

"In his first game at Atletico, he scored his first goal!"

"Remember the name, Diego Fran!"

Yang Hao watched from the sidelines and laughed.

That's the magic of bipeds!

When you're so proficient on both feet and able to use all kinds of techniques, it's hard for your opponent to figure out what you're trying to do.

What's more, Diego Forlan is also quite good at technique, with excellent running ability and a keen sense of smell.

This kind of player is really the type to impress at first glance.

……

Although Atletico opened the scoring, Celta Vigo was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Especially after 60 minutes, Yang Hao began to make substitutions and adjustments one after another, and as a result, Celta Vigo took advantage of Atletico Madrid's defensive mistakes in the 83rd minute, and Lopes on the left side sent a wonderful pass, and Catania scored with a header from close range.

1 to 1!

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

Atletico Madrid were held to an equaliser away from home by Celta Vigo.

After the game, the Spanish media were not satisfied with Atletico's performance.

According to the newspaper, in addition to Patrice Evra's eye-catching performance, Atletico Madrid's overall performance was mediocre, including Diego Forlan, who scored a goal.

'Apart from that goal and a long-range shot, Diego Forlan has yet to show what he can do to replace Pandiani. Oscar took the lead in raising the criticism of Diego Fran.

In addition, Oscar also pointed out that Diego Forlan needs to further strengthen his defense.

"You know, Pandiani's pressing ability in the front court has made a huge contribution to Atletico's defense."

The more objective Marca newspaper believes that both teams have not performed well and have not returned to normal state in the league, and the draw is a very reasonable result.

"Atletico created a little bit more chances, but the overall performance was mediocre."

"Yang Hao's team lacks the eye-catching elements of last season, and Diego Forlan is not capable of replacing Pandiani for the time being."

But Yang Hao has a different view on this.

In his post-match press conference, Yang Hao said he was very satisfied with Fran's performance.

'It was a very typical Diego Forlan goal and I'm sure we'll see more and more of his performances in the new season and remember his goals!'

For the Brazilian teenager Kaka, who came off the bench in the second half, Yang Hao also gave encouragement.

'Kaka is a player with a lot of potential, but he's still adapting a little bit more.

Yang Hao also introduced some of the situation of Kaka.

Since the beginning of the summer training camp, Kaka has been building muscle under the guidance of Ortega.

'He's going to need to readjust to himself and find his place and style of play, and I'm sure he's going to surprise everybody.'

Yang Hao also commented on Evra, and he encouraged Evra to continue the current momentum.

"I never doubted that he had extraordinary strength!"

But the media questioned Yang Hao's words.

They all believe that Atletico Madrid's players are not as good as Yang Hao said.

Atletico Madrid, who opened the season with a 1-1 draw away to Celta Vigo, were somewhat disappointing as defending champions and winners of last season's double.

In response, Yang Hao was, "We still have a second round!" ”

……

August 22, Calderón Stadium, Madrid.

In the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid hosted Celta Vigo.

The first eye-catching shot of the Spanish Super Cup, which was broadcast live to the world, came from the stands of the Calderón Stadium with Jessica Alba.

The on-site narrator also specially introduced her identity as Yang Hao's new girlfriend.

And the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene also gave her a very warm applause and welcomed her to the home stadium to watch the game.

Last season, they welcomed Ambrosio in the same way.

Unlike the visiting team's lineup, which basically continued the first leg, Atletico Madrid made a big change this time.

Yang Hao changed the team's starting lineup from 4231 in the first leg to a 433 formation.

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar;

Defence: Aurelio, Carvalho, Lucio and Belletti;

Midfielders: Cambiaso trails, Deco and Baraja in the middle;

Forwards: Vicente, Adriano and Joaquin.

When Atletico Madrid lined up this lineup, not to mention the fans and media reporters at the scene, even the away coach Victor Fernandez was very surprised.

Okay 4231 doesn't kick, why did you suddenly change the formation to 433?

But Victor Fernandez didn't think much of it.

As a guest at Calderón, he set up a very tight defense on the edge of the penalty area and tried to play a rush from the start.

The first threatening shot of the game was from Catania, but it was held by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Atletico's first threatening attack of the game came from Vicente on the left side after a series of dunks on defenders and crossed the middle, and Adriano headed wide.

Throughout the game, Atletico dominated possession but did not threaten to attack.

So much so that the on-site commentators were a little skeptical, how could Yang Hao give up the very direct style of play last season and learn Barcelona's pass-and-control style of play instead?

The first half ended with a blank.

After Yang Hao returned to the locker room, he pointed out the problems exposed in the first half of the team.

'I know it's the first time we're trying this style of play and you're going to have to take time to get used to it, but remember, but with too many passes in midfield, we're going to play our fast-paced.

The problem that came with Atletico in the first half was that they had good possession but a slow tempo.

This is actually understandable, after all, it is the first time, and everyone is seeking stability.

"Also, Deco and Ruben, you two have the opportunity to be more active, press forward, don't worry about defense, as long as you remember one thing, after losing the ball, immediately put in the counter-attack, our defense is no problem."

Finally, Yang Hao told the players that although the 1-1 score away allowed Atletico to win even if they held on to 0-0, it was not what he wanted.

"I want to see more goals! A wonderful victory! ”

Before the game, Yang Hao specially told Deco and Baraha, asking them to actively press forward.

"Remember, have faith in yourself and your teammates around you!"

……

"Neither team made any substitutions at half-time."

'We saw that it was still the line-up and the tactics in the first half and obviously both managers trusted their own judgment.

"Especially Yang Hao, Atletico Madrid is the home field."

"In the second half, Atletico kicked off first."

"Yang Hao was in front of the home team's coach's bench, constantly signaling the players to press up."

When the live broadcast camera switched to the sidelines, Yang Hao was vaguely heard shouting, "Deco, Reuben, don't hesitate, I'll change people like this again!" ”

After hearing this, the commentator shouted with laughter: "It seems that Yang Hao seems to be a little anxious." ”

Victor Fernandez, who was in front of the coach's seat of the visiting team, obviously thought the same way, especially after hearing Yang Hao's words of "intimidating" the players, he felt even more funny.

Substitution?

Simone? Or Kaka?

But Victor Fernández's smile suddenly froze before it could completely fade.

When Atletico's next wave of attack advanced to Celta Vigo's front, Vicente's left side of the box changed speed continuously, trying to shake off the defenders in an unsuccessful attempt to suddenly return the ball diagonally.

Aurelio stepped in and sent a cross in the ribs.

At this time, I saw a figure in a red and white striped shirt quickly cutting forward, rushing to the front of the arc area, stopping Aurelio's pass, adjusting slightly, and directly pumping a long shot.

The shot was powerful and the ball was extremely fast.

All the defenders' attention was on Adriano in the box, but Baraja, who was inserted in the back row, stole the tower and the ball went straight to the right side of the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"Less than three minutes into the second half, Atletico scored first!"

"Long shot from Ruben Baraha!"

"My God, we were still talking just now, Yang Hao was a little anxious, but now, we understand that he asked Baraha to come up with Deco, that is, to play a long shot, to score a goal."

"Celta Vigo was really tight at the edge of the box, but the three players of Adriano, Vicente and Joaquín were too much of a defensive focus."

The entire Calderón stadium has been completely transformed into a sea of oceans!

But after this goal, Atletico seemed to suddenly open up.

Just four minutes later, Vicente created a free-kick on the left, Aurelio took the spot, and after being cleared, Cambiaso sent a through ball forward for Deco to shoot from distance.

The goalkeeper saved the ball and Adriano followed up in front of goal.

The soccer ball slid out of the door.

He has to continue to practice his right foot.

Atletico missed a great chance to double their scores.

Not long after, Joaquín stole the ball at Juanfrán's feet on the right side of the pitch and burst into the box to Alex Adriano, where the Brazilian fired a furious shot past Berizzo with his left foot.

The ball drilled straight to the left of Celta Vigo's goal.

2 to 0!

As time went on, the Vigo Celta players, who played two games in three days, were clearly out of fitness, while the Atletico players were more and more confident.

The game went into Atletico's showtime.

First, taking advantage of a corner, Lucio's header was blocked by the goalkeeper, causing a scuffle in the box, Vicente took advantage of the chaos to seize the opportunity and stabbed the Vigo Celta goal again.

3 to 0!

Then it was on the left, and Aurelio received a pass from Vicente and sent a through ball that was pinpointed in front of Adriano.

The Brazilian center forward, under the left and right attacks of the two central defenders of Berizzo and Sergio Fernandez, relied on his strong body to fight out of a passage and volley vigorously in the penalty area for Atletico Madrid in the next journey.

4 to 0!

Adriano scored a brace!

The entire Calderón stadium was filled with cheers from Atletico Madrid fans.

The TV commentators were stunned by Atletico's onslaught.

Especially in the second half, Atletico played a very fluid attacking storm that was difficult to see in the past.

The two flanks were very lively, with the centre-forward in front of him dominating the penalty area, and Deco and Baraja in the back row also very intimidating, which formed Atletico's attacking phalanx.

'For example, with the fourth goal just now, Celta Vigo realised that he couldn't go too far back, otherwise Deco and Baraja would come up and pose a threat on the edge of the penalty area.

"But in this case, Adriano has a chance."

'It's clear that both centre-backs combined will have a hard time holding off Adriano's impact, which is unbelievable.

"We have every reason to believe that all La Liga teams will be beating in their hearts when they see Atletico's performance in the second half, how can they watch out for this terrible opponent in the new season?"

……

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Yang Hao confidently turned around and opened his arms towards the Atletico fans in the stands.

The whole stadium was cheering and shouting Yang Hao's name.

4 to 0!

Now, everyone clearly saw Yang Hao's plan.

The Spanish Super Cup is a two-legged match, the first leg goes away, Yang Hao's strategic purpose is not to win, but to consume the opponent, and the draw is already very satisfactory for him.

What he's really betting on is the second round.

In the first half, the team's performance was obviously still a little problematic, but in the second half, the Atletico side completely dispelled everyone's concerns.

Even if it changes to 433, Atletico is still the same Atletico team.

Whether it is the interception in the midfield or the pressing in the front, you can still see the familiar figure of Atletico Madrid last season.

Gravison's transfer did not weaken Atletico's midfield, and to some extent, Atletico's midfield moved more smoothly in the second half, which was difficult to see when Gravisen was in the team.

Although the Dane is organised, he is not as creative and skilled as Cambiaso.

4-0, with an aggregate score of 5-1, Atletico Madrid won the championship first when the new season was still at the start of the season!

This is the second consecutive season that Atletico Madrid have won the Spanish Super Cup.

……

Sure enough, as soon as the Super Cup was over, public opinion in the Spanish domestic media completely reversed.

Although Oscar's Oscar of Ace is still stubbornly resisting, believing that Atletico Madrid's excellent performance in the second half was just an accident.

However, the vast majority of the media gave Atletico Madrid's performance in the Super Cup a high evaluation.

The lineup is basically the same as last season's, except that Graveson has become Cambiaso, and the 4231 with two backs has become 433 with a single back, but many people have also noticed a phenomenon.

Deco and Baraja are both players with a lot of range of movement.

In this game, when Celta Vigo passed through Atletico Madrid's midfield, both players would be the first to return to Cambiaso's perimeter to protect and ensure the team's rib defense was stable.

At this time, Atletico's formation is actually a bit similar to a back three.

Radio Serre gold medal host de la Morena analyzed and commented on Atletico's tactics in this game in the post-match program, and he used a spring theory to explain Atletico's tactics in the new season.

When the opponent's attack presses over, Atletico's formation is like a compressed spring, with four defenders, three midfielders, and three forwards, forming three tight defensive lines.

The tighter the opponent presses, the tighter the three lines of defense.

But that's not the point.

The point is that if the opponent's attack cannot effectively penetrate Atletico's defense, once the ball is obtained by Atletico Madrid, Atletico's formation will rush forward quickly like a loose spring, and the whole formation will be quickly rolled out.

Whether it is a center forward in the middle of the front field or a winger on both wings, they have great speed and excellent ability to play alone.

"The purpose of Yang Hao's tactics is obvious, which is to further unleash Atletico's frontcourt attacking power, so that everyone can stimulate their most powerful offensive firepower."

"It's an offensive tactic!"

In defence, Atletico not only put obstacles in the way of the opponent, but also often suppressed the opponent on the wing, which led to their seemingly loose defense, but in fact it was not easy to deal with.

"At the very least, Celta Vigo's players don't have enough to break down Atletico's defensive tactics."

De la Morena believes that the biggest test for Atletico Madrid will be Bayern Munich.

As last season's Champions League champions, Bayern Munich's strength is undoubted, and it is undoubtedly appropriate to use them to test Atletico's tactical play.

……

With the end of the Spanish Super Cup, the Champions League peripheral group stage has also been decided.

The list of 32 teams that have reached the group stage of this season's Champions League has also been released.

UEFA's official website was also quick to give the latest standings.

According to this ranking, Atletico still appeared in the third pot, and even inferior to Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca in the second pot, the latter became the goalkeeper in the second pot.

In this case, Atletico will inevitably run into a strong team.

In the first pot, in addition to Real Madrid, there are seven other big teams, and in the second pot there are Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca, as well as Dortmund, Porto, Roma, and Lyon.

In this regard, Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid are fully mentally prepared.

To a certain extent, dividing the bracket according to European points is actually a way to protect strong teams, which can avoid strong teams from meeting too early to the greatest extent.

Yang Hao knew early on that he was only running with Heathfield in the best coach award in European competitions, and he simply did not go to the award ceremony at the Grimalty Convention Center in Monaco.

Atletico have arranged for Clement Balavide, a member of the board of directors, who has always been the official representative of Atletico.

In this way, Yang Hao does not need to act alone, but follows the team and sets off for Monaco on the eve of the European Super Cup.

Sure enough, as Yang Hao expected, the Champions League champion Bayern Munich became the biggest winner of this annual selection.

Tiger Effenberg won the best player, Kahn won the best goalkeeper and fair play awards, Heathfield Town won the best coach award, Valencia's Ayala won the best defender and Mendieta won the best midfielder.

As last season's top scorer in the Champions League, Raul won the best striker.

Swedish striker Larsson, who plays for Celtic in the Soviet Super League, won the European Golden Boot.

Real Madrid's veteran captain Alexis Sanchis, AC Milan captain Maldini, and former Inter Milan captain Bergomi were also inducted into the European Football Hall of Fame at the same time.

As the dark horse of European football last season, Atletico Madrid won a slightly frivolous award, the best team.

Yang Hao was on the team's way to Monaco when he received a message from Clement Balavid.

He was not surprised by his defeat, but he was a little surprised that Atletico Madrid won the best team, which was like a consolation prize.

In terms of gold content, this award should belong to Bayern.

But Bayern have already done their best at this gala, and from a balanced point of view, it is understandable to award it to Atletico.

After all, Atletico Madrid is a dark horse.

As a non-giant team, Yang Hao knows very well that Atletico Madrid is very disadvantaged in this regard.

Not to mention that he only won one UEFA Cup, even if he won the Champions League, it is estimated that he may not be able to win a weighty award, let alone the most important Ballon d'Or of the year and the World Footballer of the Year.

These two awards have never belonged to non-big players.

……

The award ceremony was held in conjunction with the group stage draw.

As a team in Pot 3, Atletico Madrid actually has no choice but to choose between bad and worse.

But it may be because Yang Hao has been prepared for the worst, so the final result is acceptable.

Atletico drew Juventus, Porto and Celtic in pot 4.

In terms of strength, Juventus must belong to the only class.

With Lippi replacing Carlo Ancelotti, the Bianconeri have also gone strong in the new season, not only boasting world-class players such as Trezeguet, Piero, Davies, Nedved and Thuram, but also superstars such as Gianluigi Buffon.

It can be said that Juventus' overall level is one of the best in European football.

But as Yang Hao said before, there is a general lack of creativity in Italian teams.

This is also the biggest weakness of Juventus right now.

How to make good use of this, Yang Hao has not yet thought about it, and he will return to Madrid after playing Bayern to study it carefully.

Juventus stands out from the crowd, and Porto is much better than Atletico Madrid in terms of points standings, but in Yang Hao's view, the two teams are at most evenly matched, and even Atletico Madrid may have an advantage.

Because Deco and Carvalho are both at Atletico right now.

In addition, the current head coach of Porto is not the master translator that Yang Hao is familiar with, but Octavio Machado, who is a famous player in Portugal and has coached Porto and Sporting Lisbon, and his ability is okay.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Mourinho was replaced during the winter break when Machado's coaching was not good.

So, unfortunately, if the timeline is not off, he should not have touched Mourinho.

'Last season, Juventus were also ambitious and wanted to make a difference in the Champions League, and the group stage draw was good, having met Deportivo La Coruna, Hamburg and Greece's Panathinekos.

"As a result, the Bianconeri were directly beaten in the group stage, and went home at the bottom, and they didn't even win the League Cup, the main reason is that the defense is too bad."

After learning the results of the draw, Lillo was still quite satisfied with the draw for Juventus.

In recent years, Juventus' European results have not been very good.

"The main thing is to concede too many goals, in the two legs of the group stage against Hamburg, seven goals were scored, and three goals were scored in the away game against Panathinekos......

This is really not Yang Hao's nonsense, Juventus is doing this, and the away game is too bad.

Of course, the home game against Hamburg was not much better, and the revenge, coupled with Davis's red card, was directly lost.

"If Lippi still clings to the back three, this season is estimated to be enough." Yang Hao is not too optimistic, but he is not pessimistic either.

What kind of opponent you meet, what kind of game you play, see the moves.

It's kind of strange to say.

Everyone says that Italy's head coaches are tacticians, but many of these tacticians are still clinging to the back three and refuse to let go.

Tactics is a spiraling development.

In the era that Yang Hao crossed, the return of the three guards became an advanced trend, but the three guards at that time were two completely different sets of tactical play from the current three guards.

And in 2001, it can't be said that the back three is very backward, but it really can't keep up with the times.

It's like last season, the top teams in La Liga were all 4231, which is leading the trend.

In the 02/03 season, the heyday of Serie A in recent years, 3 Serie A teams broke into the semi-finals, Milan and Juventus, if Yang Hao's memory is not deviated, there is no team that plays three defenders, right?

This is enough to prove that Lippi, the silver fox, is still holding a back three, which is a backward performance.

"If, I mean, he dares to play in a back three against us, I'll teach him how to behave!"

Yang Hao said wistfully.

He respects Lippi very much, including Yang Hao's previous life, Lippi coached the national football team, but now he is an opponent, if Lippi does not care about Atletico Madrid's bilateral strikers and continues to use three defenders, Yang Hao really doesn't mind letting him see what is called advanced tactics.

"You're thinking too much, Lippi won't give you that chance." Llellio laughed.

With a strong center forward like Adriano in the middle and wingers like Vicente and Joaquin on the wing, Lippi has to think about defense no matter how stubborn he is, right?

'Speaking of overthinking, I really think of Bayern Munich, and I found that after they sold Patrick Anderson to Barca, their centre-backs were not high.

Yang Hao smiled and mentioned to Lillo the next opponent Bayern.

With the sale of Anderson, Bayern will be left with a central defender.

Kufuor at 1.78m, Robert Kovacs at 1.82m and Thomas Link at 1.82m.

How so?

This height can't be too bad, but it's certainly not tall enough.

Last season, at least there was a Swedish Patrick Anderson to resist, and against Real Madrid, against Morientes, he could barely cope, but he also had to adopt a back five and three back tactics.

Now that Anderson has been sold, who are Bayern going to use to target Adriano?

But as it happens, Bayern Munich had the luckiest draw among the eight Champions League group teams, drawing Sparta Prague, Feyenoord and Spartak Moscow.
