"Hello, Jacques."

"Hello, Yang, it's an honor to meet you!"

After playing for Chelsea, Yang Hao met Herzog and David de Meuron in the home team's dressing room, as well as the core members of their designer team.

This was with Yang Hao's permission.

He hopes that when designing a new stadium for Atletico, especially when designing the dressing rooms for the home team, the designers will take into account some of the practical needs.

This requires them to have a deeper understanding of Atletico Madrid's players, some of their behaviors and habits before, during and after the game.

Therefore, Yang Hao allowed them to enter the locker room after the game and even communicate with the players.

The premise is that the Atletico players must be well dressed.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for those spicy-eyed scenes to appear on weekdays.

Yang Hao also communicated with the two designers, and he put forward some of his own requirements, including what he wanted the locker room to look like, what kind of environment he and the players could prepare in, and so on.

In fact, even now, many stadiums designed specifically for football, the locker rooms are not very good.

Herzog and de Meuron understand this, because architectural design is a compromise and a combination of aspects.

The space of a stadium is so large, and the level of capacity is very important, first of all, safety, especially firefighting, as well as players' access to and from the field, stairs, and barrier-free passages.

But the spatial pattern of the football field is fixed.

A stadium, the stands around the stadium, the passages for fans to enter and exit the stadium, and the passages for players to enter and exit are actually fixed, which leads to the overall structure being restricted.

"When we put all these elements in, we will find that a stadium has already taken shape, and with a series of requirements such as ventilation and lighting, there is very little space for designers to play."

"So, for many, many years, the stadium has been designed with the same internal structure and the façade."

Herzog is a fan, and when he met Yang Hao, he couldn't help but start "complaining" about how tricky his job was.

Of course, Yang Hao would not pay attention to his complaints.

Isn't it because it's tricky that we spent so much money on your design?

If it's easy, we might as well do it ourselves.

So, Yang Hao didn't say anything polite to him, and made a lot of requests in one go.

Most of them are related to the manager's job, but some are related to the club.

For example, Yang Hao proposed that he hoped that the stands of the stadium could better gather the voices of fans.

He's seen the pitches at Camp Nou and the Bernabeu and feels like they're doing very well at home, especially at Camp Nou.

Herzog and de Meuron were clearly experienced and raised the issue of the pitch's angle of inclination.

Yang Hao also put forward another idea, that is, the technological upgrade of the stadium.

He wants everything to be as connected as possible.

In fact, there are many that can be networked at present, including intelligent ticketing systems, including fire detection systems, and intelligent parking lots, etc., which are not difficult and can be done at present.

But many of the high-tech stadiums that Yang Hao saw in his previous life can't do it now, including the full-court WIFI and the like, some of which even Herzog and de Meuron have never heard of and feel unbelievable.

Finally, Yang Hao's request is that it is best to reserve room for future upgrades.

It's like when he was decorating in his previous life, many owners in the community did not wiring in advance, so it was impossible to install some smart homes or ceiling WIFI at home.

There are also some greedy for a while, for wires, network cables, etc., can be saved, which leads to more and more home appliances, smart homes, and finally overwhelmed.

His next-door neighbor was like this, and in the summer, the air conditioner was turned on too much, and it tripped at both ends in three days.

"It's not difficult." Herzog agreed.

After chatting with Yang Hao for a while, Herzog and de Meuron saw that the team also knew about it, and immediately left quickly.

He understood that Yang Hao's Party A was much more difficult to deal with than Cerezo and Little Hill.

If he continued to talk, he really didn't know what big problems Yang Hao would give him.

However, before leaving, they also left phone calls for each other, so they can communicate at any time.

Well, it's rare to have the opportunity to be Party A once, and Yang Hao found that it was really a cool thing to make a request.

……

After playing Chelsea, Atletico returned to La Liga and travelled to Malaga non-stop.

This is the 32nd round of La Liga.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Malaga 3-1 away thanks to a brace from Torres and a goal from Kaka.

But what really surprised people in this round was that Real Madrid, whose performance had just picked up in recent times, suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Osasuna.

Beckham has been affected by cheating during this period and has behaved very badly.

Real Madrid fans held up white handkerchiefs at the Bernabeu to show their anger and dissatisfaction with the management.

At the end of this round, Atletico led La Liga with 78 points, followed by Valencia, but only with 66 points.

After losing this game, Real Madrid only scored 63 points.

According to Marca, there has been a trend of disconnection in La Liga this season.

Atletico have been very consistent, leading by a wide margin, with Valencia, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Deportivo forming the second group, and pulling away from the likes of sixth-placed Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao.

What is even more surprising is that after Pochettino's switch to Espanyol, the team fell deep into the relegation zone.

Vigo Celta, who finished 6th in La Liga last season, is also in the relegation zone this season, which shows that the competition within La Liga is also quite fierce.

The slightest mistake and falling into the relegation zone is something to worry about for all teams.

In their analysis, Marca believes that Atletico Madrid took an early lead in the league, allowing the Sheets to deal with the Champions League competition with a more relaxed attitude.

Now, two teams in La Liga have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid meet Porto and Deportivo La Coruna meets Inter Milan.

"Judging from the current situation, Atletico Madrid's promotion is a high probability event."

But Marca also reminded Yang Hao that Mourinho's Porto is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they eliminated Manchester United to advance.

However, when they met Real Madrid in the group stage, Porto's performance was not very ideal, 1-3 at home and 1-1 away.

But the away game was in the final round of the group stage, when Real Madrid and Porto were out of the way.

In this case, the 3-1 at home was a bit more golden, and both teams were giving it their all.

As early as Yang Hao's previous life, Porto was able to win the Champions League, and the right time, place and people were indispensable.

If you take a closer look at Porto's path to promotion, you will find that the two games against Manchester United are really worth talking about, but at that time Manchester United lost David Beckham and was in a stage of adjustment.

After the quarterfinals against Lyon, the opponent was not strong.

In the semi-finals against Deportivo La Coruna, Super Laco was a well-known away bug, but even so, Porto failed to win Deportivo La Coruna at home, and in the 87th minute of the game, Deportivo La Coruna's main central defender Andrade was also sent off.

In the second leg, Super Laco had the advantage, but Porto adopted a lethal tactic and beat Deportivo La Coruna with a penalty.

In the 70th minute, Deportivo sent off another central defender, Naibet, and when Irueta used up his final substitution early, right-back Pablo was injured again, forcing Deportivo to face with nine men.

But even so, Porto still won very dangerously.

If you watch the Champions League final, you can also see that before Giuli went off the field with an injury, Porto's disadvantage on the field was very obvious.

Judging from the entire promotion process of Porto, the overall strength of this team has not reached the level of the Champions League winners, at most the level of the quarterfinals, and Monaco is actually similar.

But Mourinho's tactics are really good.

Although Deportivo was criticized for his lethal tactics against Deportivo La Coruna, he did a very good job of freezing Belleron, and in the two rounds of the match, Belleron had no respite.

This is enough to prove that Mourinho was successful at a tactical level.

It has nothing to do with whether there is an element of luck in the Porto champions.

And back to this life, after Yang Hao returned to Madrid, he took a special look at the two-legged match between Porto and Monaco, and the key point was the beginning of the first leg.

Porto took Monaco off guard as soon as they opened and grabbed a goal.

Monaco itself also wants to grab away goals, and after conceding a goal first, they did not stabilize their position in time, but blindly pressed out.

As a result, in the first half of ten minutes, the second goal was conceded.

In a way, this is a loss to Mourinho at the level of tactics and formation.

Therefore, Yang Hao did not dare to be careless about Porto.

The trouble is that before the first leg at home to Porto, Atletico Madrid will have to host a local derby against Real Madrid.

This is also the 33rd round of La Liga.

But Yang Hao himself didn't expect that Real Madrid would give him such a generous gift as soon as he came up.

……

As the season deepened, Yang Hao gradually clarified the team's employment method.

Villa is more present on the right, with two centre-forwards Drogba playing in the Champions League and Cup, and Fernando Torres playing in the league.

But it's not set in stone, and sometimes it will be adjusted.

Yang Hao's strategy is to reasonably allocate the playing time of the two center forwards and adopt different tactical play styles according to different opponents.

Didier Drogba is more capable of attacking and Torres is better at attacking head-on, using them differently.

For example, in the game against Real Madrid, Torres started.

From the start, Torres was extremely active.

In a drop-back, he received a cross from Villa, shook off Zidane, then dribbled past Carlos, dribbled diagonally into the box from the right rib, and even used his speed to break through Vieira.

But in the box, when he tried to get past Cannavaro, the Italian made a direct and precise cut.

Before anyone even fell, the ball was lost.

After that, Robben sent in a cross from a fast break down the left and Torres rushed to the edge of the six-yard box before everyone else, but suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The ball was held by Casillas, who was attacking.

Torres complained to the referee that Cannavaro pulled him from behind and caused him to fall to the ground.

But the referee laughed back.

Later, when Atletico Madrid quickly counterattacked, Torres quickly cut diagonally into the right rib, hit the gap exposed by Carlos's forward insertion, received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and forced Cannavaro's cross.

But Robben, who picked up in the middle, couldn't grab the point and missed the opportunity again.

The first turning point of the game came in the 13th minute of the first half.

Baraja sent a long diagonal pass from the right side of midfield to the left behind the defence.

Torres was at the front and rushed up as fast as he could, competing with Salgado for speed.

In the end, it was Atletico who took the lead.

Torres was indeed violent, jumping up directly with a header, pushing the football back to the pitch that was about to go out of bounds, and then rushing up quickly after landing, dribbling the ball into the penalty area from the left corner.

Facing Elguera, Torres made a skilful feint, smashed the ball down and crossed it with his left foot in front of goal.

Villa followed up in time and fired a tackle.

Casillas flew in to save Villa's shot.

The shot was beautiful, but Casillas' save was also quite spectacular.

And just 4 minutes later, it was another long pass from the back, still playing on the right side of Real Madrid, and Torres was the first to rush up to grab it.

This time he ran faster, stopped the ball directly on the left, and when facing Salgado, he made a series of feints, and when he was about to pass Salgado again, the Spanish right-back made a move.

The referee blew the whistle the moment Torres fell to the ground and showed Salgado a yellow card.

Yang Hao is also aware of the problem on the right side of Real Madrid.

Beckham's performances have been sluggish and his lack of protection for Salgado has led to frequent one-on-one situations.

So, Yang Hao decisively adjusted his tactics and signaled the team to attack the right side of Real Madrid!

In the 22nd minute, after Robben received the ball on the left side, he forced Salgado and crossed to the left rib, Deco sent a through ball to the penalty area, Torres cut forward from Cannavaro and Elguera, and near the penalty spot, hit the goal with his left foot, and sent the ball into the Real Madrid goal.

1 to 0!

In an instant, the entire Calderón stadium was completely boiling.

All the Atletico fans were chanting the names of the players.

It was a very beautiful attack!

And in the 27th minute, when Deco split the ball to the left and let Robben face Salgado one-on-one again, the Dutchman attacked head-on, kicked the ball forward before Salgado was in place, and cut forward by himself.

It looks like a beautiful man!

Everyone was excited.

But at this moment, Salgado, who turned around, wanted to use his body to jam Robben, his left hand pressed on Robben's shoulder, and there was an elbow against his neck, which made Robben lose his balance directly and fell on the left sideline of the court.

The referee blew the whistle again.

"This is a very obvious foul!"

"Slow-motion replays show that Salgado's elbow did make a foul move."

"Now it's up to the referee to decide the penalty."

"Salgado has already had a yellow card just now, if he gets another card......"

"Yellow card!"

"The referee gave another yellow card and sent Salgado off with a red card."

'It should be said that it was a fair decision, and there were no problems with two yellow cards, but in the opening 27 minutes, Real Madrid had one less player than Atletico Madrid, which is really bad.

"We have seen that the royal court is strongly protesting from top to bottom, thinking that this sentence is very unfair."

"But as you can see from the slow-motion replay, it was really two correct decisions."

"Of course, this is also the result of Atletico Madrid manager Yang Hao's temporary adaptation of tactics according to the situation, they are obviously playing non-stop against Real Madrid's right side after Salgado received a yellow card."

"What about Queiroz? He did not make arrangements in time according to Atletico's tactical adjustments. ”

'It's also a big problem for Real Madrid right now, David Beckham isn't in great shape, but what now?'

"Real Madrid are going to make a substitution, Minam Bress is going to play."

"But the question is, who will he replace?"

"David Beckham's wife, Victoria, flew from England to Spain tonight to support her husband and hopefully help him through this difficult time."

"Do you want to replace him at this time?"

"Or any of the biggest stars in the front court?"

"Raul!"

"Queiroz replaces Raul!"

"We can see that Raul himself was very surprised."

"Indeed, with the current state of the players on the pitch, they should replace Beckham."

'But Queiroz obviously took Beckham's situation into account, so he chose Raul.

Yang Hao stood in front of the home team's coach's box, and Raul was not far away from him.

Therefore, he could clearly see Raul's mood at this moment, from surprise to anger, then to forbearance, and finally disappointment.

He didn't fight, he didn't even complain, he took off the captain's armband, ran quickly to his own half, put the team's captain's armband on Casillas's body, and turned and walked out of the field.

He didn't even shake hands with manager Queiroz, but walked straight behind the visitors' dugout and bench back to the players' dressing room.

A Real Madrid coach caught up with him and kept explaining something to him, but Raul just shook his head and waved his hand, as if to tell him to stop talking.

Yang Hao can actually understand Queiroz's difficulties, but he is also very sympathetic to Raul's plight.

What can they do?

Who does Queiroz dare to replace?

Vieira can't move, and if he does, Real Madrid is dead.

With one person missing, in Beckham's state, let him play the midfield alone, what is the difference between this and suicide?

Zidane, Figo and Ronaldo didn't dare to move, they were all superstars, and they moved, and they went crazy to show you every minute.

And what about David Beckham?

It stands to reason that the state is the worst, so it's normal to replace you, right?

But the wife of the other family sat in the stands, came all the way to accompany her husband, cheered for her husband, and you replaced him in less than half an hour after the opening?

Believe it or not?

Beckham will make a transfer tomorrow!

Only Raul is the most suitable, the least risky, and the least likely to be a problem.

Yang Hao could even guess what Queiroz asked the coach to convey.

You're the captain of the team, so you have to look at the big picture.

Yes, take care of the big picture!

That's what Beckham said when he came in, when the team changed their tactics; Salgado has a red card, and when he wants to replace the next guy, he says the same.

There will be more superstars coming over in the future, and Raul will definitely have to keep making room, anyway.

Then wait until a few years later, when Raul has worn off all his spirituality in various positions, and is getting older and older, and has begun to become a burden to the club, then he will be buttoned up with a dressing room ball hat.

You're ready to fuck off!

……

The game was over the moment Salgado was sent off and Raul was replaced by Minambreth.

Real Madrid held on to the score of 0-1 in the first half.

With one man missing, the stars are clearly feeling the pressure on Raul to be substituted, and they are starting to become more aggressive on the pitch, especially on the defensive end.

The captains have gone down with humiliation, if they are still lazily playing on the field, like words?

After the game, you weren't scolded to death by the Real Madrid fans?

But after the rematch in the second half, Atletico Madrid set off an offensive storm at the beginning.

In the 47th minute, Villa scored another goal for Atletico Madrid, further expanding the score to 2-0!

Yang Hao was making a substitution at halftime, replacing Deco with Iniesta.

After 2-0, Gabi also came on and replaced Baraja.

And in the 77th minute, Lucio used a header to score another goal for Atletico Madrid, 3-0!

At this point, the game is basically stable.

Yang Hao replaced Lucio with Pepe 2 minutes later.

Queiroz did not replace Zidane with Guti until the 86th minute, and Beckham with Borja in the 88th minute.

But Yang Hao was very strange in his heart, there were only a few minutes left in the game, what was the use of substitution at this time?

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 3-0 at home!

……

After 33 rounds of matches, Atletico Madrid has a record of 25 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in 33 games, with 81 points and is at the top of La Liga.

Valencia drew 2-2 at home to Real Sociedad in this round, and after conceding two goals first, they chased two goals in a row to get a draw.

Instead, Barcelona beat Malaga 3-0 at home.

In this way, Atletico continue to lead the way.

Valencia is close behind with 67 points, but is as many as 14 points behind Atletico.

This made Yang Hao really unexpected.

With only five rounds left in La Liga, such a lead has been basically declared, and Atletico Madrid have won the La Liga title ahead of schedule.

All teams want to overtake, there is only a theoretical possibility.

Real Madrid is third in La Liga with 63 points, Barcelona is fourth in La Liga with 59 points, and Deportivo La Coruna is fifth in La Liga with 58 points.

After the game, almost all the media agreed that there was no suspense about the La Liga title this season.

After winning the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid won the La Liga title by a huge margin!

In the remaining five league games, they only need to win one, no, even a draw, to seal the title.

But this did not prevent the La Liga media from beginning to praise Atletico.

The situation in La Liga this season has also been very chaotic.

Both traditionally strong teams are in trouble.

Real Madrid's superstar strategy is starting to spiral out of control; Barcelona collapsed in the first half, which led to the two La Liga giants conceding too many points early and making mistakes.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has been working hard from the beginning of the season to the present.

So far, Atletico have lost just two games, one of which is the season's opener.

In addition to La Liga, Atletico Madrid also won the Copa del Rey and is already a veritable double.

The Sheets have also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and are on their way to the Champions League title.

If it can really win the Champions League again, it will be the first team in the history of La Liga to win the treble.

It will even push Atletico's status in La Liga and European football to a whole new level.

It is precisely because of the importance that the morning after Atletico Madrid played Real Madrid, Cerezo, Junior Hill and others took the senior management to Mahada Hongda to "inspect" the project.

They gave the team a hard blow, but also called on everyone to keep trying.

Yang Hao also told the players at the subsequent team meeting that the team's focus will be on the Champions League next.

Preparations for the Champions League will also revolve around the Champions League.

The remaining 5 La Liga games will give more time and opportunities to other players, especially young players.

"Guys!"

Yang Hao exhaled heavily and laughed.

"I'm sure you've all seen the reports outside, and the reporters on the team must have told you."

In addition to the management, even the reporters accompanying the team participated in this internal mobilization meeting.

This meeting was not about tactical secrecy, it was more about mobilization.

For the semi-finals of the Champions League, and even the final Champions League, make the final mobilization.

"Now, there's still a month left until the Champions League final!"

"The three most important games of the month for our team."

Yang Hao turned around and slapped the tactical blackboard behind him, on which the time, place and opponent of the three games had already been written.

The opponents in the Champions League final are either Inter Milan or Deportivo La Coruna.

From Yang Hao's point of view, he hopes that it is Deportivo La Coruna, because Iruetta's team is easier to deal with.

But unfortunately, reason told him that Inter Milan were more likely.

"I want to say that winning these three games, everyone here will go down in the football history of Atletico Madrid, La Liga and even the Champions League!"

"I know, it's hard, but I want you all to remember that no game has been easy for us along the way, no opponent has been easy."

"But in the end, it is us Atletico who have come to this point!"

"This is the result of the joint efforts of you, us, and all of us!"

"I still say the same thing, as long as we all work together, as long as we stay focused and committed at all times, we have the strength to beat all the opponents, and we will definitely be able to achieve the great goal of the treble!"

"From today, we are only one thing away from the goal of the treble, the Champions League!"

"Good!" The players clapped their hands excitedly.

……

"I am now delaying or even suspending negotiations with all sponsors!"

After the mobilization meeting, in Yang Hao's office, various departments of Atletico Madrid also sat together for a meeting.

Carlos Leo from the Marketing Department presented their current progress.

'Before, it didn't go well when we talked to a lot of teams, but now this season it's getting clearer, especially when we're in the semi-finals and we're in La Liga, and more and more sponsors are interested in us.

"As Yang said before, in the past, they ignored us, and today we let them not climb high."

"As long as we win this triple crown, our business operations can take off!"

When everyone heard Carlos Leo say this, they all became excited.

At the beginning, none of them had much hope for Atletico Madrid, and even many of them just came to get a good salary, and there were some "adventurers" like Carlos Leao who wanted to cross the border to make a name for themselves.

But now?

In just 4 years, Atletico Madrid has become an upstart in European football!

Even, there have been many media and fans who have included Atletico Madrid in the ranks of the new giants.

That's a huge change!

If you can really win this treble this season, it will definitely make Atletico Madrid's influence in Spain, Europe, and the world get a comprehensive transformation and upgrade!

At that time, Atletico Madrid will really have the popularity of a giant team.

Carlos Leo has even figured it out.

Next, Atletico Madrid will start to vigorously build their own superstar players.

For example, Torres, Kaka, Xavi Alonso, Baraja and even Drogba.

"There is no standard for whether it is ugly or not, but strength can change people's acceptance of the same thing."

"You see, like Ronaldo, in fact, his rabbit teeth are not very good, and even a little ugly, but now?"

"Everyone thought he was cute, and rabbit teeth became his logo."

"Why?"

"Because he's strong enough!"

"All the fans, all the media, are strong, as long as they are strong enough, they will accept it, and the same is true of Didier Drogba, and even the overall image of our team."

Carlos Leao even told Yang that if the team wins the treble, then this summer, he will have to apply for funding, expand the staff, and make a major upgrade to the team's entire marketing team.

"This will be a crucial step for us to officially become the top global giant!"

Similarly, the press and public relations department is also ambitious, especially this season, taking advantage of the conflict between Real Madrid and Marca, Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to win over Marca, making the position of Spain's largest newspaper deviate a lot towards Atletico Madrid.

Now, when facing the whole of Spain, Marca newspaper is biased towards the Madrid region, and within Madrid, between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, he is in a neutral and objective position, impartial.

The Ace newspaper is brainless to stand on Real Madrid, but in the case of Atletico Madrid's strength is strong enough, many times, the Ace newspaper has to slow down, after all, their readers are not brainless support, and they have their own independent thinking and analysis skills.

If you really have no brains, you will only lose your own credibility in the end.

There are many things that the finance department is directly connected with Yang Hao, including the salary of the players, and this time they also proposed that the overall salary of the team will be further improved.

This certainly does not mean that all the direct owners will be raised, but that when the contract is renewed, a higher salary can be given.

The renewal of a player's contract is an orderly process, and not all of them are renewed at the same time.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible that all contracts on behalf of everyone would expire at the same time in a single year?

When the time comes, so many players will enter the contract year, and the team will not be able to cope with it, and there is no such reason.

All in all, when Yang Hao listened to everyone's explanations, he found one thing.

"How can you be so sure that we can win the treble?" Yang Hao said, I feel that I am under a lot of pressure.

Everyone was amused.

"We have faith in you!" Little Hill reached out and patted Yang Hao's shoulder and said with a smile.

Everyone else laughed too.

"Again, leave the matter on the court to me." Yang Hao said with confidence.

……

After playing the city derby, Atletico's preparations turned to the Champions League semi-finals.

The first leg against Porto was at home.

Unlike Atletico Madrid, who had to beat Real Madrid to the death, Porto played almost with a full bench in the 31st round of the Portuguese Super League, and finally drew 0-0 away from home.

In addition, the main players such as Ferreira and Maniche who started only played 45 minutes.

This is enough to prove that Mourinho is recuperating and ready to play Atletico Madrid.

A very important reason why the Portuguese madman has such confidence is that although he drew in this round, he is still 6 points ahead of second-placed Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League standings.

Since there are only 18 teams in the Portuguese Super League and 34 rounds of league games, with only 3 rounds left, Mourinho's team basically won the Portuguese Super League championship ahead of schedule.

At the same time, they also reached the final of the Portuguese Cup against Benfica.

Therefore, Mourinho is also aiming for the treble this season.

As early as the winter break, Yang Hao had asked Mendiodo's scouting team to start collecting news and intelligence about Porto, and the reason he gave at that time was that he was very optimistic about Mourinho.

Now, after the team reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, the scouting team has also re-updated their profile about Porto.

The situation in Porto is that the defense is very good.

Jose Mourinho has always been a master of defence, so although there is one less Carvalho than in his previous life, he still has built a solid back line with the two central defenders of Jorge Costa and Ricardo Costa.

Paolo Ferreira and Bosingwa on the right and Valente on the left.

The midfield is arranged in a back three, with Costinha at the back.

The player was brilliant in both legs against Deportivo La Coruna in the quarter-finals, freezing Belleron perfectly, which led to Deportivo playing both legs rather awkwardly.

The other two players are Maniche, Thiago, Pedro Mendes, Alenichev, etc., all of whom are players trusted by Mourinho, and among them, Maniche has played the most minutes.

This season, Porto have been tactically flexible.

In the Portuguese Super League, they are more likely to use the 4231 tactic, but in the Champions League, they are more balanced with the 442.

It's also a workaround for Mourinho.

In the Portuguese Super League, Porto's strength advantage is obvious, but in the Champions League, Porto is more defensive and counterattacking.

Three midfielders, with 19-year-old Brazilian teenager Carlos Alberto in front.

The player was signed by Porto from Fluminense in Brazil during the winter break for €2.5 million.

To be able to shell out such a large sum of money from Porto shows the potential and talent of this player.

Carlos Alberto is capable of playing as a striker and as a midfielder.

Mourinho's 442 tactics in the Champions League are most commonly used as three midfielders, two strikers in front, and Carlos Alberto in the middle, so that he is responsible for dribbling the ball.

Carlos Alberto is a typical Brazilian player, with great technique at his feet, not too fast, but good physically.

This is also a very noteworthy player.

As for the forward line, McCarthy and Delley are both the main players who can't be beaten.

Among them, South Africa's McCarthy is very good at impact, and Delle is good at running.

These two players are Porto's top scorers and second leading scorers this season.

Among them, Dellay is also the team's assist king.

McCarthy, Delle and Carlos Alberto are the tridents that have been the key factors in Porto's Champions League knock-out campaign after the winter break.

Mourinho's tactics in the Champions League are mainly two, home advantage, and defensive counter-attack.

If you are a fan in 2023, you must know very well that Mourinho is really good at playing at home, and he even had a long unbeaten home record.

Therefore, in view of this series of characteristics of Porto, Yang Hao also decided to seize the initiative at Atletico Madrid's home stadium.

To put it simply, it's about scoring goals first and beating your opponent.

In this case, when visiting Porto, Mourinho's team must press out.

"But also note that Porto also has a high school striker, that is Lithuania's high school striker Jan Kauskas, who is 1.92 meters tall and doesn't score many goals, but the tactical role is crucial, not only good at heading, but also good technique."

Yang Hao reminded his assistants.

Against Porto, Atletico Madrid must win at home, otherwise, they will be very passive when they get away.

"The strategy for this game is very simple, we will play the point of Drogba and organize the attack around this point."

Yang Hao explained his intentions.

Jorge Costa is 32 years old, and although he is tall and performs well, his age is there.

Ricardo Costa is an inconsistent factor in Porto's backline, with occasional mistakes, and his height of 1.84m has led to him being a bit of a disadvantage against some of the most powerful strikers.

The most typical was against Deportivo La Coruna, when he faced Tristan, and Ricardo Costa was a little nervous.

Yang Hao can say with certainty that Mourinho will definitely lay heavy troops in the midfield.

Three backs are indispensable.

'With the defensive quality that Costinha, Maniche and Pedro Mendes have shown, and the defensive set-up of Jose Mourinho in midfield, it will be difficult for us to penetrate on the ground.

Deportivo La Coruna penetrated through the ground and as a result, neither goal was scored in the two legs.

Belleron was completely sealed.

Therefore, Yang Hao's strategy is to continue to go to the side, but at the same time, he must also give more play to the advantages of Drogba.

Play long balls and avoid the strangulation zone organized by Porto's midfield three.

Everyone immediately understood Yang Hao's intentions and immediately began to prepare.

Yang Hao also began to communicate with the players.

Especially Drogba.

In this game, he will be the winner and loser of Atletico Madrid!
