Super Marshal

"Hey, Vicente, it's me, Gao Han."

"Well, it's actually nothing. Didn't you promise to invite you to dinner before?"

"Yes, noon, is there time?"

"Okay, then I'll open the box, you can come by yourself."

...

At noon, Bosque appeared on time in a well-known western restaurant in the center of Madrid.

Obviously the restaurant manager had already prepared, and directly brought Bosque from the independent passage into the box reserved by Gao Han.

As soon as he entered the box and looked at the table full of delicacies, the Real Madrid coach who was about to end get out of class stared at Gao Han and laughed.

When the restaurant manager went out, he walked to the opposite side of Gao Han and sat down.

"There must be something to invite me to dinner so actively for no reason."

Gao Han also smiled slightly, "Isn't it promised to invite you to dinner before? Choose a day and don't hit the sun, besides, I don't like to owe others, so I just invite you earlier."

Both teams still have training in the afternoon, so both of them tacitly eat, not drink.

Gao Han did not mention anything else, but greeted Bosque enthusiastically for dinner.

On the contrary, the introverted Real Madrid coach couldn't sit still. After the food was over, he took the initiative to open the conversation.

He didn't guess wrong, and directly focused on the UEFA Champions League final.

To talk about the Spanish football, the most experienced team in the Champions League, it must be Real Madrid.

Winning the Champions League three times in five years, this report card is not imaginary.

In these three times, Bosque alone took up two of them, and the other time he was Heynckes' assistant.

Since the team reached the Champions League final, Gao Han has communicated with Heynckes many times, because Real Madrid led by the Germans at that time encountered Juventus in the finals.

Juventus in the mid to late 1990s, three times into the Champions League finals, can be regarded as the strongest team in Europe.

But that time, Real Madrid defeated the Bianconeri and won the Champions League with Mijatović's lore.

"The Italian team has never been afraid of the La Liga team's possession of the ball. They can rely on their own tactical order and the tactical qualities of the players to maintain a compact formation and firmly control the key area, that is, the center. Therefore, To some extent, to play a Serie A team, the most important technical and tactical level is the ability to break dense defenses."

These words of Bosque made Gao Han, who was listening carefully, quite agree with him.

The so-called fighting against each other's style is not an aimless goal, but a real thing.

As Aragones once said, Camacho's early Spanish national team was invincible when facing other teams. Passing and offensive play made the Spanish national team invincible.

But Spain can't play with the Italian team.

On the football field, you come and go, fighting back and forth, for nothing more than two things, ball power and space.

There is an advantage in controlling the ball, but once the attacking space is occupied by the opponent, no matter how much the ball has, it is difficult to create a threat.

All football tactics are developed around these two things, each with its own emphasis.

"To be honest, I am not particularly worried about your team's ability to break dense defense."

Bosque looked at Gao Han and expressed his opinions frankly.

"From your game against Roma and Juventus, your ability to break dense defenses is still good. Whether it is the player's personal ability, teamwork, or even free kick tactics, long shots outside the penalty area are quite good. Level."

For this, Gao Han is confident.

"But for an Italian team, the biggest test is not in skills and tactics, but in psychology."

Bosque's words made Gao Han's brows furrowed.

"The first thing is to maintain enough patience to break the dense defense, especially the dense defense of Italy. It is impossible to do without patience. Their defense is like a copper wall and an iron wall. The more anxious, the more impossible it will be."

Gao Han nodded his head with deep understanding.

It was better when playing Roma. When playing Juventus's knockout match, Atletico Madrid exposed the player's problem of being too impatient. This was related to the atmosphere and pressure of the knockout match, and it was also related to the player's age history.

In the final analysis, one sentence, lack of experience, young age.

"I think you are doing a good job now. This morning is a holiday to let the players relax and avoid getting too tight."

Gao Han nodded, he really thought so in his heart.

"Do you know why Valencia lost so badly in the final in 2000?"

"Let's talk about it." Gao Han said with interest.

Bosque thought for a while, “Cooper’s Valencia is a miracle. Ranieri laid a solid foundation. Cooper sublimated the team’s temperament. In just two or three years, it became a European powerhouse. It’s just one step away from the top teams."

"But we had terrible results that season. The league performed badly and the Champions League started very badly. But you must be clear about one thing. All of this has nothing to do with this game."

"It is the Champions League final. No matter what happens before or after, it has nothing to do with this final."

"It is only the performance of the two teams in these ninety minutes, or 120 minutes, that determines its outcome."

Gao Han understood that he had heard these words more than once.

"Cooper is a very stable head coach, but it is strange that in that game, he made a very serious mistake. He gave up Valencia's best defensive counterattack and played with us. Counterattack."

"During the game, they created a lot of opportunities, the cooperation was also very smooth and threatening, but in the final and most critical goal, they performed quite badly."

When Bosque said this, he hissed and thought hard, "If I remember correctly, they had a dozen shots, but only one shot on goal. It is conceivable that their mentality at the time was completely Out of control."

"When we scored the first goal by Morientes, I already had a very strong feeling. The second, third, or even fourth goal would definitely come because you could Obviously feel the impatient mentality of the Valencia players, and all that needs to be done is to calm down and fight back."

"I believe that as a head coach, Cooper must have considered this factor and even made targeted arrangements. But in the game, when the players lose control of their emotions, the head coach can do very little."

Gao Han felt a little cold in his heart, and he could feel Cooper's mood at that time.

The head coach is like the brain of a team, but the players are the siblings of the team. If the siblings are not obedient, the brain will be helpless and helpless.

"All the teams, all the players, before such an important final, will definitely show confidence. They will definitely say that they are full of confidence in defeating their opponents. However, only they can know the truest thoughts in their hearts. It's impossible for the head coach to fully grasp it." Bosque reminded him earnestly.

Gao Han nodded constantly.

He often communicates with players, which is a major feature of him.

But in fact, he himself knows very well that players are individuals, and even when chatting in private, they often don't reveal their truest thoughts.

Because they have scruples.

If the head coach is to let the outside world know that they are not confident enough, or even timid, will that affect their starting?

Such examples, in the history of European football, really don't want too many.

Not to mention the UEFA Champions League final, a major event comparable to the World Cup finals. Everyone is under heavy pressure to play. On-the-spot performance must be affected. The key is to look at psychological quality.

In this case, Atletico Madrid's youth is the biggest disadvantage.

As for the previous series of winning streaks, no matter how outstanding they are, it has nothing to do with this final.

"Frankly speaking, you Atletico Madrid have no obvious weaknesses. Both offense and defense are excellent. This allows them to have more choices in the game, but the strength of ac Milan is also quite good, especially in Ancelotti. After adopting more conservative tactics, they have the most extravagant iron barrel formation in the world."

The most luxurious iron barrel array?

Gao Han could only respond with a wry smile, don't you know if he was boasting? Still depreciating?

But in any case, AC Milan can reach the Champions League final, Ancelotti's tactical adjustments are indispensable.

If he continues the pass-and-control play from the beginning of the season, it is estimated that AC Milan will have nothing to do.

"For you, this game will be an unprecedented challenge. If you want to listen to my opinion, then I will tell you that you must start with a steady start and do everything possible to avoid losing the ball first."

When Bosque said this, his face was solemn.

"You know, facing an Italian team, losing the ball first is basically a death!"

Of course Gao Han understands.

"Okay, remember!" Gao Han raised the drink cup in his hand, "Come on, Vicente, thank you. When I come back, I will invite you to drink."

Bosque also smiled slightly, "I hope it is a celebration wine!"

After eating in the dining room, the two drove back.

On the way back to Mahada Enda Sports City, Gao Han was thinking hard all the way.

If it's other aspects, he can still think of other tricks, but the psychological aspect is really a headache.

It’s impossible to learn Lin Xia's appearance. I encourage you~www.NovelMTL.com~ Everyone, don't lose to that **** duck?

Gao Han smiled and shook his head.

If the psychological problem is easy to solve, I am afraid that other coaches have solved it long ago, and there will not be so many out-of-control things happening.

What's more, now we are talking about the Champions League final.

How many professional players can't play a Champions League final in their lifetime?

Who is not nervous?

Not to mention the players, even as the head coach, Gao Han felt nervous and perturbed himself, so he went to Heynckes, Bosque, and Aragones for advice and experience.

At the technical and tactical level, Gao Han is not worried and has enough confidence, but the player's psychological level...

But now that I have reached this point, I can only bite the bullet anyway.

Whether it's a hero or a bear, you have to do a real fight on the court before you know it!
