This Champions League final between Chinatown and Atletico Madrid has attracted worldwide attention.

Not only are fans around the world flocking to it, but even many famous coaches gathered in Lisbon to watch the game.

These include the Spanish national team head coach Bosque and the national youth team head coach Lopetegui.

Both of them visited the hotel in Chinatown in the morning, but unfortunately, except for Gao Han and Cantalero, Zidane and the first-team players were gone, which surprised both of them.

"Where are people?" Boske asked in confusion.

The Champions League final is the evening. Shouldn’t you stay in the hotel in the morning to accumulate energy?

Cantalero and Gao Han looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"The club has arranged a tour activity and they are all going out to relax and will come back later." Cantalero replied.

This is the opinion of psychologist Dr. Steve Peters. He felt that before the battle, the players' emotions should not be too nervous. If you stay in the hotel and get together, you will further create this tense atmosphere. It is better to just organize a tourist event and go around Lisbon. As long as you can stop, it will have the effect of regulating the players' psychology.

Bosque and Lopetegui were both surprised, but they also knew that with Gao Han and Cantalero in charge, there should be no big problem.

Everyone knows that Gao Han is the best head coach in the world, and the Chinatown team is also the most professional in the world.

Since we have already arrived, a few people sat down in the hotel cafe and chatted, and the topic naturally fell into tonight's Champions League final and the upcoming Brazil World Cup.

Most teams participating in the World Cup have released a 23-man roster, but Spain has not announced it to the public yet, because Bosque is still worried about the Champions League final and plans to wait until the game is over to avoid injury.

"You should have a clear mind, right?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Boske nodded, "Many times, even the head coach of the national team does not have the absolute power to choose the players they want. We must learn to weigh or even compromise. You know this."

Gao Han understood, where does absolute freedom come from in this world?

"Then who are you going to bring with you?" Gao Han asked again.

"Kock." Boske replied.

"Why?" Cantalero was a little surprised.

In terms of performance, Isco's performance is better than Cork, but Bosque chose Cork instead of Isco. This is really surprising. Not only Cantalero doesn't understand, but Lopetegui is also confused.

These players are all national players of the national youth team. He is very familiar with them, and of course he knows Isco's strength.

Gao Han thought about it for a while, but nodded and said, "It's out of midfield balance, right?"

This sentence made Cantalero and Lopetegui's eyes lit up and they suddenly realized.

Boske also looked at Gao Han, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You still understand me the best."

Cork and Isco are about the same age and are similar in strength, but their characteristics are different. Cork will make greater contributions on the defensive end, but Isco will have stronger ability to get balls and break through, and will have higher requirements for ball rights.

In the Spanish national team, Iniesta, David Silva and Juan Mata are all players of this kind. In contrast, Isco seems not so urgently needed.

On the contrary, players like Cork are often able to play a better role in balancing the midfield.

As for Ilia La Mendi, judging from his performance last season, he is definitely not inferior to Barcelona's Busquets, and he is even better than Busquets on the defensive end. But unfortunately, Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi are in the Spanish midfield iron triangle. Even if he really wants to defend, Xavi Martinez can still play as a midfielder.

When choosing national team players, Bosque should consider the team's tactical style of play with Barcelona as the team, and at the same time consider the emotions of fans in Catalonia.

"In the past few years, we have achieved extremely brilliant results, the European Cup, the World Cup, the European Cup... We have won countless honors. I always believe that our players have built a Spanish football dynasty in their own way, and they have also revealed their ideas to me."

There are only twenty-three players in total. If you bring veterans, you naturally can't bring other young players.

The game has not been played yet. It is difficult to say whether it is getting stronger as old or young or strong. Maybe the veteran will perform better?

After all, the World Cup also attaches great importance to player experience.

Boske's words were also understood by Gao Han.

Fans often only look at the results because they are separated by the cold TV screen that is out of reach, but the head coach lives with the players, has flesh and blood, and has worked hard together. They can be said to be comrades who have been through life and death.

If professional football is a war without gunpowder, then the head coach is the commander of this war.

I believe that no commander will leave behind the veteran he has been leading for many years at will?

Therefore, Guardiola would rather resign voluntarily than take the initiative to reorganize Barcelona.

Since the dynasty was established by them, they naturally have the right to end it with their own hands, not to mention that it is too early to say that the dynasty ends. After all, Spain just lost a Union Cup.

But Boske's choice was still very courageous, because it might ruin his lifetime reputation.

Since he coached Real Madrid, Gao Han has always known that he is an old man who values ​​love and friendship very much.

…………

Bosque and Lopetegui were stayed by Gao Han for lunch.

The players also came back at noon. They chatted with several Spanish players in Chinatown before leaving. Chinatown started to rest and prepared for the game intently.

While the players were resting, Zidane had a meeting with the coaching staff, as well as Gao Han and Cantalero, mainly discussing the upcoming Champions League final.

Zidane means that he hopes the team will stick to its own technical and tactical style.

"We should not blindly block our opponents, but should show our level and talent to the fullest."

The French coach's statement was also recognized by Gao Han. He also believed that blindly blocking against teams like Atletico Madrid is often easy to backfire because they are not afraid of blocking.

On the contrary, Chinatown, insisting on its own playing style and strengthening midfield control will make Atletico Madrid even more unfavorable.

Many people mention the difference between Chinatown this season and last season, and often mention offense, believing that Zidane's arrival has released the team's offensive potential and activated the team's offensive firepower, but this is just the result.

Fundamentally, Chinatown during the Pochettino era focused on oppression and pressing, and the ball possession rate was high and they were all grabbed by grabbing the ball.

However, such tactical styles often have a problem, which is to maintain the effectiveness of oppression and pressing, the distance between players is often relatively small, which makes it easier for each other to defend and respond. On the front line, the distance between the three players is often relatively large, and there are some suspicions of fighting each other.

From the perspective of formation structure, a good formation should be orderly, which should not only be conducive to the passing, cutting, penetration and propulsion, but also ensure the efficiency of offense and defense conversion. In order to seize key positions on the court, players should maintain a suitable distance, not too large, and it will lengthen the passing distance to increase the chance of being interrupted by too large, but it should not be too small, as it will appear very crowded if it is too small.

The problem during the Pochettino period was that the distance between the midfield and backcourt players was too small, but the distance between the frontcourt was too large, which was beneficial to Pochettino's style of play, but the problem was not small, that was, the creativity of the midfield and the firepower of the frontcourt were insufficient.

As soon as Zidane took office this season, his first priority is to transform this old problem of the team. From standing up to urging players to keep a distance, this is a big deal.

If it is just a static drill, of course there is no problem, but to do this in a rapidly changing game, it will be quite a test of kung fu.

Judging from his performance this season, Zidane is still well-known in this regard, which makes Chinatown's ball-control ability second only to Barcelona in the La Liga this season, and is even second to none in European football, and the team's offensive firepower has also been improved.

In the frontcourt, Hazard, Firmino and Griezmann scored 61 goals in a single season in the league, and they cooperated more and played more vigorously.

"Simone knows us very well. I guess he must have made great preparations, especially to curb our midfield. The biggest problem in this game is still the ball control. As long as we can control the ball under the high-intensity pressure and pressure of Atletico Madrid, we can win." Gao Han said confidently.

Zidane said he wanted to play the pass, which means he would not arrange a double midfielder combination between Kante and Ilia Lamendi, so the combination of Verati and Isco should be taken for granted.

There should be no suspense in the frontcourt Hazard, Firmino and Griezmann. Morata did perform well in the Champions League this season, but he was still too young. Zidane is more likely to use him as a surprise.

The appearance of such a mid-front court combination in the Champions League final can be said to be the strongest lineup of Chinatown. In addition, the lineup of Ales Sandro, Godin, Varane and Danilo on the back line is no longer suspense.

"I think there is another point worth noting." Sergio Garcia reminded.

Everyone immediately looked at the data analyst in Chinatown in unison, wanting to hear his opinions.

"That's to try to avoid giving Atletico Madrid a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, you know, Ramos's head is bright lately."

Sergio Garcia's words made Zidane and others nodded at the same time.

In the final stage of the league, Ramos was indeed in a very hot state, creating consecutive goals and assists, helping Atletico Madrid to win the final victory and defeat Chinatown to win the league championship.

If Ramos hadn't had the sudden outbreak, the current league champion would be Chinatown.

Chinatown also attaches great importance to the performance of this central defender, but set pieces, especially set pieces in the frontcourt, are indeed difficult to defend, and can only minimize the players and prevent them.

"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. You know, this is a ninety-minute game, a first half, or an hour, and it is impossible to decide the final result of the game. If you want to catch it, you have to catch the whole game." Gao Han comforted.

As the saying goes, it is obviously impossible to eat a fat man in one bite.

Not to mention the past, even this season, Chinatown has lost consecutively at the feet of Atletico Madrid.

Now if you play too impatiently in this Champions League final, it will be a bad thing.

Zidane looked at Gao Han deeply and nodded vigorously.
Chapter completed!
