204 Season Wrap-Up! You don't understand the joy of digging into the corners of the enemy's walls! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]

The dust has finally settled on the 03/04 La Liga season.

The biggest news was not that Atletico Madrid won the championship, but that the star-studded Galaxy Battleship had fallen out of the top four in La Liga.

This has to be said to be a very ironic thing.

Sitting on the most luxurious squad in the world, with the world's top superstars, he can't even play in the Champions League.

The day after the end of La Liga, Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, wrote an article in his exclusive column, arguing that the situation in La Liga this season is that the middle class has lost the lives of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In this article, Cruyff said that at the beginning of the season, many people predicted that this season would belong to Beckham and Ronaldinho, but in the end this season belonged to Atletico Madrid and Yang Hao.

Cruyff believes that for a long time in the past, Spanish football did not want to see Atletico.

"But since Yang Hao took charge, Atletico Madrid has been a benchmark both in business and on the field!"

"Yang Hao is doing a really great thing, he is creating a new model, he is telling other clubs in Spain that we don't need to go crazy to bring in big stars like Real Madrid and Barcelona, but we can still win the championship."

"The whole and the team, this is the key factor for Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna to remain in the top four this season, and it is also the reason why Barcelona were forced to finish third and Real Madrid fell out of the top four of the league."

In this article, Cruyff attacked Real Madrid's superstar strategy, arguing that Zidanegapavon's policy is officially dead, because it is a very unhealthy way to form a team.

"I remember that Yang Hao once mentioned a theory, he believes that a healthy and reasonably structured team should be rugby-type, with superstars and rookies accounting for a small part, and the majority of powerful players in the middle."

"I couldn't agree more, but Zidane Gavon has the opposite policy, Real Madrid try to build a team with only superstars and rookies, and do away with the core and the most consistent force in the middle."

"In the end, we saw that Real Madrid had a weak follow-up and completely collapsed in the closing stages of two consecutive seasons."

"That's the price of the middle class!"

Cruyff did not shy away from the question of Barcelona, believing that Barca had taken a detour in the first half of the season, but around the winter break, the team had begun to realize what the problem was.

"Rijkaard is a trustworthy manager, he has found a tactical plan that suits Barcelona, and the next step is to strengthen and improve the squad according to this tactical plan."

Cruyff believes he is very much looking forward to the new season for Barca.

The Godfather of Barcelona also commented on the overall situation in La Liga this season, and Valencia was strongly praised by him, saying that Benitez's side did a very good job of balance, "just a bit of machinery, although efficient, but lacking some creativity." ”

"That's where Valencia isn't as good as Atletico Madrid."

"But in such a strong season for Atletico Madrid, beating Real Madrid and Barcelona and winning second in La Liga, Valencia's performance can be seen, and Benitez's coaching is worthy of recognition."

Another team that has been praised by Cruyff is Villarreal.

But Cruyff doesn't talk about Villarreal's number one star, Riquelme, because it's a knot in the hearts of Barcelona fans.

He just thinks that Villarreal can achieve good results in both La Liga and the UEFA Cup and deserves recognition.

As for Atletico Madrid, which won La Liga and the Copa del Rey, Cruyff naturally gave more praise, but also reminded Yang Hao that playing Cooper in the Champions League final will be a very, very difficult matchup.

'Both teams are in contention for the treble and Cooper is familiar with La Liga and has a lot of experience in Champions League finals.

"Atletico's strength is their creativity, which is Inter's biggest weakness at the moment."

"How to make good use of this advantage is a great test of Yang Hao's technical and tactical level."

……

In addition to Cruyff, various Spanish media outlets have also published season summaries.

Among them, Marca newspaper believes that this season is a season in which new players in La Liga have emerged collectively.

"This has been the main theme of La Liga over the past few seasons, especially in places like Atletico, which are dominated by young players, and new talents are constantly emerging every year."

"For example, this season, Torres has further stabilized his position, he defeated Ronaldo, won the La Liga Golden Boot, and Kaka, after last season's sudden rise, this season has shown amazing improvement momentum, and has the strength to keep pace with the team's main midfielder Deco."

"Reyes, Robben, Iniesta...... Petr Cech defeated young goalkeepers such as Iker Casillas and Valdés this season to win the title of best goalkeeper in La Liga, which allowed the Czech goalkeeper to lock in Atletico's main position. ”

Marca believes that Atletico Madrid under the coaching of Yang Hao has never lacked young players who have emerged.

In addition to these young players who have already excelled in the first team and have established themselves, there are also young players such as Sergio Ramos, Lionel Messi, David Silva and Luka Modric, all of whom have performed well in the second team and are also emerging in the first team.

Sergio Ramos has scored his first goal in La Liga, and Messi has set a record for the youngest goalscorer in Champions League history.

These people are the objects that Yang Hao will focus on cultivating next, and they are the future of Atletico Madrid.

Marca newspaper is full of expectations, believing that this group of young players at Atletico Madrid will definitely amaze the whole of Spain and even the whole of European football.

In addition to Atletico Madrid, La Liga has also seen the emergence of many outstanding rookies this season.

For example, Baptista in Seville.

The Brazilian midfielder, nicknamed the Beast, is only 22 years old, but last season he made a splash with 20 La Liga goals and has been well placed on the radar of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

'He's physical, he's technically good, he's strong and he's very attacking and he's almost the best all-round midfielder in La Liga after moving forward.

'According to reports in the Catalan media, Barcelona are already in contact with Sevilla to sign the outstanding Brazilian midfielder, but Real Madrid are also interested in Baptista.

Baptista was selected for the Brazilian national team with his outstanding performances this season, and became teammates with Ronaldinho and Belletti, both of whom recommended Baptista to the Barcelona hierarchy, believing that the attacking and defensive midfielder would be an important member of the Barcelona midfield.

Baptista himself was thrilled with Barca's favour, but Sevilla's price tag for him reached €35 million.

In terms of goalkeepers, Cech is already famous, and it is Valdés who has emerged this season with a good performance.

The centre-back is Gabriel Milito of New Ayala, and the Argentine centre-back has been very eye-catching this season.

Athletic Bilbao's left-sided Del Orno has been another player who has been in standout form this season and is a sought-after item in the transfer market, with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona all salivating.

Marca and other media outlets have agreed that the continuous emergence of new talents in La Liga this season is a testament to the vitality of La Liga.

This is a very good trend.

"La Liga president Antonio Ponte has set out an ambitious five-year plan to build La Liga into the most attractive top league in the world over a five-year period starting in 2004."

"To this end, this summer, La Liga will make a comprehensive upgrade to the new season's La Liga broadcast facilities and multimedia systems, improve the level and quality of La Liga's broadcasting, and provide a better viewing experience for fans around the world."

"Not only that, La Liga will also accommodate the needs of teams in all time zones around the world in terms of schedule, and there will be noon games for the first time, and it is not even ruled out that some important games will be scheduled at noon."

Antonio Ponte said that La Liga is studying with partners around the world, and in the future, it is considering arranging the two-legged match of the Spanish Super Cup to be held overseas, and will also organize La Liga teams to go to various parts of the world for warm-up cup matches, which will set off a vigorous La Liga globalization movement around the world.

Marca newspaper believes that La Liga is on the eve of the transformation and upgrading of the league's operation, because the broadcast rights will be bundled from 2005, at this point in time, La Liga is constantly emerging more and more rookies, a variety of techniques and tactics are also emerging, which is conducive to La Liga to bring a higher level of football to fans around the world.

"In five years, perhaps, we will see La Liga reverse Serie A to become the most well-known league in world football!"

And Marca also defined the next treble battle as a precursor between La Liga and Serie A for the world's first league.

……

After the curtain came down on La Liga, Real Madrid made three announcements in full swing.

First, the head coach Queiroz stepped down, and Real Madrid's decorated legend Camacho took over the Real Madrid manager's position.

This caused a lot of buzz from the outside world, because everyone knew that Camacho and Florentino were not on the right track.

At the beginning, when Florentino signed superstars one after another, Camacho did not come forward to accuse Florentino, and even because of the Morientes matter, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel.

But this time, Camacho picked up the whip of Real Madrid again at a critical juncture.

Moreover, the newspaper also revealed that it was Florentino who personally called to invite Camacho.

The reason is that the current Real Madrid dressing room needs a strong manager to put things in order, and Camacho has an extraordinary influence at Real Madrid, and he is the most suitable candidate.

Camacho is also notoriously foul-tempered and has a tough personality, saying he wants to use an iron fist to political the team as soon as he takes office.

In an interview with the media, he said: "No matter who he is, as long as he is in a bad state, I will not let him play!" ”

At the same time, he was unhappy with the team's dressing room problems last season, believing that it was not the Real Madrid he remembered.

But many of Real Madrid's stars expressed incomprehension and even dissatisfaction with Camacho's remarks.

Ronaldo stood up and said, "Real Madrid's dressing room has always been very quiet, there are no undisciplined players, there is no need to practice the so-called iron fist, the team needs a good result." ”

The Brazilian superstar also mentioned Bosque and Queiroz, whom he believes are the best managers he has ever met, and Queiroz is also a good guy but lacks some luck, "They both have earned the respect of the players. ”

As the team's best superstar last season, Ronaldo's words were interpreted by the media as an exhortation to Camacho.

The second piece of news was the announcement of the resignation of the club's sporting director, Baldano.

As Florentino's right-hand man, Baldano played a key role in the early days of the Galacticos, but he was empty-handed for two seasons in a row, especially this season, and couldn't even get into the top four.

Florentino's presidency has been shaken, and someone needs to step up and take responsibility for his dereliction of duty and accept the criticism and accusations of Real Madrid fans.

Baldano is undoubtedly the right person to do so.

With the resignation of Baldano, a new round of power adjustment for Real Madrid has also been launched.

Real Madrid's vice-president, the legendary Putragueno, will be the club's interim general manager, handling the club's current affairs, but the transfer and negotiation power of players will be handed over to José Ángel Sanchez, the head of marketing.

Sanchez followed Florentino into Real Madrid, and has contributed greatly to the global promotion of Real Madrid's brand over the years, and is also very long-sleeved, and the signing of Beckham is his masterpiece.

Previously, the Sun photographed a private meeting between Real Madrid's top management and Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon, who was Sanchez.

It can also be seen from this that Florentino will continue to adhere to the superstar strategy.

The third piece of news for Real Madrid was that Raul criticized Real Madrid's team-up strategy in the media.

As Real Madrid's captain, Raul admitted in an interview with the newspaper Ass that it was the worst season of his career and that his performance was unsatisfactory, "but I didn't give up trying. ”

As for the team's problems, Raul believes that the main thing is that the team's bench is not thick enough.

'It's our second season and we've always had a bad second half.

'In such a long season, we only have 12 players who can play, and the difference between the rest of the players and the main players is too big, which is why we have not achieved anything.

Raul believes that both Real Madrid fans and the media have very high requirements for Real Madrid.

'Everybody always demands that we have to win every title, but we have to be more rational in our squad so that we can be competitive.

Raul also blamed the team's "Galaxy Battleship" designation, believing that it had brought a lot of bad effects to the team.

'It's hurting the whole team, it's going to be good for the players and the club, and that's not a term that's supposed to be on the football pitch.

But the media later revealed that Florentino was unhappy with Raul's accusations.

La Liga has just come to an end, and before the Champions League final, Real Madrid once again dominated the attention of the world's major media and fans.

Even if he has lost the qualification for the Champions League next season, even if he has disappointed again and again, the presence of superstars still makes Real Madrid's every move concern the hearts of the media and fans around the world.

Every decision made by Real Madrid could trigger an earthquake in European football.

……

Florentino had a hard time.

After the final round of La Liga, he did not return to the Bernabeu.

He gave himself three days off.

When he returned to work, Butragueno and Sanchez came over to update him on the progress.

"Carlos Martínez and Vázquez were in Rome for two days."

"Yesterday at 11 a.m., the Roma board of directors passed the decision to sell Samuel and Emerson, and from 14 p.m., Roma general manager Bardini took the resolution to negotiate with us and had 10 hours of painstaking negotiations with our team in the hotel."

"We made an offer of 18 million euros at the beginning, but Roma refused, they wanted to add Morientes to the negotiations......"

When Florentino heard this, he raised his head and looked at José Sánchez, who was talking opposite.

Jose Sánchez was shocked and hurriedly said: "We refused. ”

The damage that Morientes did to Real Madrid, or to Florentino, far exceeded expectations.

Before, it didn't matter if it was Samuel Eto'o, Cambiaso or Munitis, because they were all outsiders.

But Morientes is different.

He is his own person in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, and he is a leading star who has been loved by Real Madrid fans.

Florentino sent him away for the superstar, and as a result, Morientes eliminated Real Madrid in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, how did Real Madrid fans accept it?

So, they vented their anger on the chairman.

Recently, a wealthy man named Carlos Gonzalez was going to run for the presidency of Real Madrid in July this year, and he used this as a topic to frantically criticize Florentino, believing that he was a waste of money and money.

Because when he took over, Real Madrid was already Champions League champions.

Morientes is their most powerful weapon against Florentino!

What now?

There are more and more superstars, but Real Madrid's results are getting worse and worse.

Carlos Gonzalez was not taken seriously by Florentino, or it was unlikely that he would win, but Florentino still made a fuss.

"After a long negotiation, we finally agreed on a transfer price of 25 million euros."

'Chelsea are also in contention and they are in desperate need of a centre-back now, so they made an offer of €30 million, which could be higher, while also offering Samuel a whopping €4.5 million a year after tax, but the Argentine chose us anyway.

Florentino nodded slightly.

For Chelsea, Real Madrid is jealous, but they also look down on it.

In fact, that's how European football thinks of Chelsea right now, nouveau riche!

That's why, even though Real Madrid offers a lower annual salary, Samuel still wants to come to Real Madrid.

At this time, the stars are hoping to give Real Madrid a helping hand and further their careers at Real Madrid.

Florentino gave Sanchez an appreciative look, the subordinate was still very competent.

"I played a round of golf yesterday with the CEO of Mediterranean Savings Bank, and they were willing to give us a low-interest loan, which is quite high."

Florentino said this, and looked at Putragno, "You ask the people in the finance department to calculate, how much transfer budget can we come up with after we get this low-interest loan?" ”

Butragueno was slightly stunned, "Are you planning to sign someone else?" ”

Such a big move must be a big deal.

At the moment, the closest to Real Madrid is Sevilla's Baptista, but the problem is that he is not what Real Madrid need the most.

In midfield, there are Patrick Vieira and David Beckham, as well as Raul and Guti, Zidane can also play, do you need Baptista?

Besides, Baptista's transfer does not need to go to the bank to make such a loan, or Florentino came out to negotiate.

"How many superstars are there in the transfer market in European football right now, who are good and fit our needs?" Florentino asked in turn.

With the introduction of Ronaldo, it is basically difficult for players such as Shevchenko and Henry to enter the Bernabeu again.

If you really want to bring in another striker, Raul is really going to resist.

The Real Madrid captain is now forced to give way to Ronaldo and bring in a striker superstar, so what about Raul?

"You mean...... Joaquin? José Sánchez rolled his eyes and immediately guessed.

Florentino nodded, "Figo is old, and the right side needs to be replaced." ”

"Atletico won't agree." Butragueno shook his head.

"You don't need their consent."

"Termination money?" Butragueno was a little surprised, "80 million euros!" ”

This is Joaquin's release money, and it is reported that Atletico Madrid wants to renew Joaquin's contract and is negotiating a contract renewal.

Jose Sanchez, who was on the side, also nodded and said: "This is indeed very expensive, but it can weaken Atletico Madrid!" ”

"That's right, with the current strength of Atletico Madrid, we have to do something, otherwise, next year, the year after, what will we do?"

Florentino looked directly at Butragueno, "Are you confident that you can beat them?" ”

Butragno was silent.

"From a business point of view, Joaquín will only be 23 years old by July, and to be honest, 80 million euros is really outrageous, and I think I can try to talk to Atletico first." José Sánchez suggested.

"Don't talk to them!" Florentino refused, "Joaquín is the best right winger in Spain, it meets our tactical needs, with the quality he has shown, it will not be a problem for the next 10 years, is 80 million euros expensive?" ”

"Besides, we've never been afraid of expensive reinforcements, have we?"

Jose Sánchez nodded.

The higher the transfer fee, the more sensational it can be, and the greater the brand promotion for Real Madrid.

But 80 million euros to sign Joaquín is really a bit outrageous.

But once successful, the effect is comparable to signing Figo in 2000.

It's all poaching people from mortal enemies!

'There is news that Chelsea are also eyeing Atletico Madrid, and that the Blues' upcoming manager Jose Mourinho wants to sign Deco, Drogba, Carvalho, Reyes and Joaquin. Jose Sánchez introduced.

"And, not long ago, Carvalho just changed his agent to Jorge Mendes."

Florentino heard this, nodded and said: "That's right, so, at this time, we snatched Joaquín, Atletico Madrid's strength was greatly affected, and at the same time we could strengthen ourselves, do you think this deal is worth it?" ”

Signing Figo from Barcelona at a record price, looking back now, is it worth it?

Simply great value, right?

You don't understand the joy of digging into the corners of the enemy's walls!

"It's crazy." Butragueno was still a little apprehensive.

How much is Zidane?

Spending so much money on a 23-year-old Spanish winger?

From the perspective of club management, from the perspective of hitting opponents, it may be worth it, but can Joaquin really play at this level?

Don't forget, Anelka also came to the Bernabeu with a sky-high price, and the result?

With the current situation in the Real Madrid dressing room, Joaquín is here, can he melt in?

"I still have reservations about this decision." Butragueno stood by his guns.

"If you don't object, it's fine." Florentino made up her mind.

He now very much needs to stabilize his position as chairman as soon as possible, otherwise, the chairman will not be able to do it, Real Madrid does not spend money, what difference does it make to him?

He was able to call Camacho in person and invite him back to coach Real Madrid, because he felt threatened.

The same goes for signing Joaquin.

He needs a legendary captain like Camacho and a homegrown talent like Joaquín to curry favor with Real Madrid's fans and cement his position as president.

As for the rest, I'll talk about it later!

……

In the past period, Yang Hao and the coaching staff have been studying Inter Milan repeatedly.

This season's Inter Milan have been comprehensively upgraded on the basis of last season.

Needless to say, Toldo is one of the best goalkeepers in world football today.

At the back, Aurelio, Nesta, Cordoba and Zanetti.

Materazzi has been injured for a long time this season, so in the centre-back position, Nesta is more likely to partner Córdoba.

This combination is very interesting, Córdoba is only 1.73 meters, very short, but very fierce, likes to grab, is very fast, and has a very strong hand-to-hand grappling ability, while Nesta is responsible for dragging back and filling in for him.

After this season's run-in, this combination has been polished more and more compatible, and even after Materazzi's comeback, he has not been able to squeeze out the position of Córdoba.

Aurelio and Zanetti are both offensive and defensive, and there is no need to say much about their strength.

The biggest change for Inter Milan is in the midfield.

Cooper has been playing in a 442 formation this season, but has switched from his diamond four midfield at Real Mallorca and Valencia to a two-man 442, but the two wing-backs have been pushed up the front.

As a result, Inter's midfield and backline are in a shallow saucer position, with both wings pressed forward.

Keely Gonzalez, Zanetti, Cambiaso and Van der Meyde.

Among them, the double back combination of Zanetti and Cambiasso is very eye-catching, and can even be described as a perfect combination.

Occasionally, players such as Stankovic and Emre are used to replace them.

On the front line, seeing off Vieri, Adriano has scored 27 Serie A goals in Serie A this season, and is also one of the best central strikers in the Champions League this season.

It can be said that Adriano is constantly evolving, improving.

The key is to equip Adriano with a partner.

Cooper has given up Uruguayan talent Recoba and Sierra Leonean striker Caron in favour of 19-year-old Nigerian teenager Martins.

This is a very critical shift.

The combination of Adriano and Martins, needless to say, the former has an incredible speed that can maximize the vitality of Inter's front field and make Inter's counter-attacks faster.

The most famous is the 3-0 defeat of Arsenal at Highbury Stadium in the group stage, which can really be said to have shocked the entire European football world.

Argentine striker Cruz was the two's rotational substitute.

On both flanks, Keely Gonzalez and Van der Meyde, supported by Aurelio and Zanetti, were also quite active, which allowed Inter to counter-attack with great speed and liveliness, although they played defensive counter-attacks.

As Arsene Wenger commented, Arsenal were beaten at home by Inter Milan.

Cooper is tantamount to presenting a dilemma for all Inter Milan opponents, how to break through Inter Milan's third-ranked defensive system in Serie A without being penetrated by Inter's sharp counterattacks.

Yes, Inter have conceded just 26 goals in Serie A this season, third behind Roma with 19 goals and AC Milan with 24 goals, but they have scored 74 goals, seven more than Juventus, who are second in Serie A.

But Juventus conceded 42 goals.

What's more, Cooper's side have only lost two games in Serie A this season.

By any measure, Cooper's side are the most feared opponents in the Champions League this season.

They have one of the best backlines in the world, and in the back two, Cambiaso is needless to say, and Zanetti is definitely the best defensive midfielder in Serie A.

In this case, in order to penetrate their defense, it is necessary to increase the investment in the attack.

But once the offense is committed, the defensive problems are easily exposed.

Moreover, against Cooper's team, it is always necessary to press, Martins' speed, Adriano's impact, will be a real headache.

……

"You say, we didn't sell Deco to Inter Milan last summer, but let Cooper do such a big job, what should we do?"

When the Atletico Madrid coaching staff was in a meeting, Yang Hao laughed with a headache.

This is where Cooper is a master tactician.

A living person will not be suffocated by urine.

If he couldn't buy Deco, he adjusted it, changed the formation, and the result was this trick.

Does it work well?

Inter Milan is rushing for the treble, you say, okay?

'The midfield is still going to be a bit weaker, especially at the back two, Cambiaso is like a dealer, so we're going to have to cause some problems for him.' Juanma Lillo proposed.

But immediately, Mendiodo followed his train of thought and suggested the next possibility.

'They'll play more wide, with Aurelio attacking and even Zanetti on the right.

'Then our two wingers will definitely have to press up and hold off their full-backs.'

'The wingers pressed up, the back line was dangerous, as long as a long ball was played, Martins could rush behind him in minutes, and none of us at the back could stop him, let alone have an Adriano charge.

"If the overall formation is not pressed, it is really difficult for us to effectively contain Inter Milan, they must be playing defensive counterattacks, Cooper is like an old turtle now, or an old turtle with a lot of spikes on his shell, and then retract his head and let you play whatever you want."

"Haha, that's a good analogy, but Cooper himself said it, it's called Sexy Inter."

"Sexy fart, a defensive counterattack is a defensive counterattack."

"We can't care about the opponent's tactics now, whether it's good or not, the most important thing is how to knock on their turtle shell, I think, it should be pressed or pressed, this is dangerous, it can't be the same as Inter Milan, it is also a flat game, and finally it becomes 0-0, right?"

"If you really want to play 0-0 in the nameless game of the competition, then there is no way, it's better than losing, right?"

"It's too risky to press up, but you can't let Cambiaso organize calmly, his ability, we all know it, we must not let him do it."

Everyone said a word, and the meeting immediately turned into a brainstorm, and everyone expressed their opinions.

In this kind of verbal confrontation between you and me, many problems and possibilities are exposed one by one.

Parales carefully recorded all the valuable speeches on the side, and finally compiled them into a summary of the meeting and sent it to the group of the coaching staff for everyone to think about it carefully.

Yang Hao basically didn't speak anymore, because he knew very well that at this level of competition, the two teams he faced could be said to be the strongest teams in world football today.

Both offense and defense have reached a very high level.

Even, some people say that when it comes to the Champions League semi-finals, it is not worth surprising who wins the championship among the four teams.

Not to mention making it to the finals.

Inter Milan has the advantages of Inter Milan, and there is definitely a weakness.

For example, Córdoba's height, if you can pass the ball to the top of his head and let Drogba go to the top, won't he be able to score?

But the problem is, you have to be able to create a couple of times in 90 minutes.

What?

Once?

Please, who dares to say that they hit every shot?

Every goal in football has a strong element of luck.

And Martins, this guy who can turn over four or five heels in one go, and the speed is really fast.

But the biggest headache is not Martins, but Adriano.

What Inter Milan do best is to use Martins to interfere with the defensive layout and then let Adriano charge.

This trick has been tried and tested.

Everyone knew they would fight like this, but they couldn't prevent it.

Atletico Madrid can't press it up now, and when they go back, they feel in a dilemma.

But that's the Champions League final.

Cooper is now in a dilemma, and he also has to worry about whether he can stop Atletico Madrid's attack if he really retreats?

Whether it's Didier Drogba or Fernando Torres, can they keep the goal?

Reyes and Joaquín are not vegetarians on the wings, and Xavi Alonso's long pass is not paper-mâché.

Not to mention the back-to-back insertions of Patrice Evra and McConn, as well as Lucio's threat from corners and free-kicks.

Same.

How hard it is for Atletico right now, it will only be harder for Inter!

This is the Champions League final.

Therefore, in Yang Hao's previous life, Guardiola would suddenly change his formation before the final, which is the reason.

Everyone wants to find a way to minimize risk and be able to beat their opponents.

But when it comes to the Champions League final, how can there be such a way?

Teams that can be easily eliminated by people will not make it to the Champions League final.

And all the decisions in the final have to be made by the head coach!

No one can share this matter.

……

This year's Champions League final was held at the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Atletico Madrid flew from Madrid to Dusseldorf Airport at noon on the day before the tournament on a special plane from sponsor Emirates, and at this time, the bus from Atletico Madrid to Germany had been waiting there for a long time.

Every time he goes to an away game, Yang Hao has extremely high requirements for the team's accommodation.

Especially in the highest-level competition like the Champions League final, Yang Hao attaches great importance to it.

Atletico have plenty of time to prepare.

Gelsenkirchen is also not a big city in Germany, and the accommodation conditions are not particularly ideal.

There is a four-star hotel next to Schalke Stadium, but after Atletico Madrid's inspection, the feedback to Yang Hao is not very ideal, and before and after the final, it will be very noisy there, and the quality of the players' rest cannot be guaranteed.

In the end, Atletico Madrid chose a castle on the Ruhr River to be converted into a luxury hotel on the A52 highway northeast of Düsseldorf Airport on the way to Essen.

The castle has a long history and was converted into a hotel in the 50s of the last century.

The facilities of the hotel are not very complete, such as no gym, but there is a golf course, and there are only 36 rooms.

Yang Hao brought all the players who have played in the first team this season to Gelsenkirchen, plus the coaches and staff of the first team, the squad is also very large.

36 rooms were not enough for the first team, so Atletico had to charter a country hotel next to the Castle Hotel to barely cover the team's use.

The club's employees, sponsor representatives and invited guests, as well as the players' families and friends, were all housed in a luxury hotel in the centre of Gelsenkirchen.

There's no way around it.

Yang Hao hopes that the players can get a better rest.

The team arrived at the hotel first, packed their luggage and rooms, and then went to the Aodi Schalke Stadium in the north of Gelsenkirchen, more than ten kilometers away, for familiarization training.

Since the training is also open to the media, there is basically nothing to say.

When the team played in the UEFA Cup final in 2001, they came to Dortmund, and they were basically familiar with the situation on the German side, and the players had no problem adapting.

After the training, Yang Hao participated in the UEFA pre-match press conference, and he also followed the rules, praising Inter Milan, Kuoper, and several former disciples such as Adriano, Aurelio and Cambiaso.

The only thing that was special was that I met Heynckes after the press conference.

The two have also played against each other several times in La Liga before, and Yang Hao knows Heynckes' future achievements, so he also made friends, and now he is coaching at Schalke 04, and he came to meet Yang Hao.

"Cooper was taught by Real Madrid in his first Champions League final and is as steady as an old dog, you have to be careful." Heynckes suggested.

Yang Hao nodded, but did not disclose what tactics he would use.

There is really no need to say this kind of thing, and if you say it, no one can give advice.

To put it bluntly, there are risks no matter how you fight.

Before the cup was unveiled in the game, no one knew what would happen.

It's the same sentence: anything is possible on the football field.

"Don't worry, we've been preparing for a long time!" Yang Hao said with confidence.

Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are both attacking for the treble, and no one will easily admit defeat.
