Chapter 1017 Kanye

With the approaching of the Champions League final, Munich, Germany has been fully upgraded, and the whole city is filled with a strong football atmosphere.

This is the highest-level hall-level event of the European professional league once a year.

Fans from both teams flocked to the southern German city, leaving Munich's hotels in short supply.

The Mandarin Oriental, the most upscale hotel in Munich, is located in the heart of the old city, surrounded by the State Opera House, the Royal Brasserie and the Maximilian shopping street, which are all very famous sights in Munich.

The entire Oriental Mandarin Hotel has a total of 73 rooms, 48 ​​rooms and 25 suites. As early as three days before the finals, the hotel announced that it was full and refused all customers. Strict agreement, but the pervasive reporter still dug up the big money owner who has contracted the entire Oriental Mandarin Hotel.

That is the number one favorite for the Champions League final, Real Madrid.

Seventy-three rooms are obviously unable to meet all the needs of Real Madrid, because this time the Galaxy battleship expedition to Munich, in addition to the first team, coaching staff and employees, as well as their family members, there are also management, club legends and specialties. Inviting guests, the Oriental Mandarin Hotel can't live there at all.

Fortunately, the hotel is located in a prosperous area, so Real Madrid has also booked an entire floor at the Maximilian Hotel opposite, dedicated to the reception of the club's staff and important employees.

Real Madrid President Florentino personally led the team to Munich and stayed at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel to personally supervise the Champions League final, and Real Madrid's announcement of winning the championship before his departure undoubtedly showed the team's strong desire to win the championship. desire.

Three consecutive championships is a rare honor in European football history. So far, apart from Real Madrid's five consecutive championships, only Cruyff's Ajax and Beckenbauer's Bayern Munich have achieved such an honor.

If Real Madrid is realized, it will undoubtedly create the miracle of European football in the 21st century.

Since the entire hotel was taken down by Real Madrid, the Oriental Mandarin Hotel arranged 24-hour shift security personnel at each entrance, refusing all visitors unless invited by Real Madrid.

But even if there is an invitation from Real Madrid, no one is allowed to take pictures in the hotel.

The hotel is located in a narrow lane, five floors high, the top floor is an outdoor swimming pool and a Michelin restaurant. The environment is beautiful and the service is good. , and even if the Real Madrid team moved in and got a big discount, it was still very extravagant.

However, for Yang Yang, this hotel did not satisfy him.

…………

"what happened?"

The day before the Champions League final, during the afternoon break, when Zidane came to the top-floor swimming pool, he saw that Yang Yang did not go for a swim as usual, but lay under the umbrella by the pool, taking a leisurely nap, feeling very relieved. Accident.

Swimming is a good habit Yang Yang has developed over the years. It not only exercises his physique, but also maintains his coordination and flexibility, which is an essential part of his daily training.

"It's too small to be enjoyable." Yang Yang shook his head angrily.

After listening to Zidane, he turned his head to look at the swimming pool, made a rough calculation, and had to admit that it was indeed small.

Preliminary estimates should be only eight meters long, what kind of swimming pool is this?

Although Yang Yang is not a professional swimmer, he has insisted on swimming over the years, and his swimming skills cannot be said. How could he have such a short swim lane?

Looking at his swimming cap that was about to dry, needless to say, he must have come up after going down for a few laps.

"You're giving them a big problem. Many high-end hotels don't have such a big swimming pool." Zidane smiled bitterly, because according to Yang Yang's standard, it should be at least 25 meters, preferably 50 meters. Meter.

For example, the swimming pool in Valdebebas, that is the standard fifty meters.

Yang Yang didn't know where he was, so he shook his head, "I'll go back to the gym for activities."

Zidane nodded. He knew that Yang Yang was one of those players who couldn't be idle.

"How is it? Have you discussed the final strategy?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

In recent days, the coaching staff has been meeting, carefully preparing for the Champions League final against Chelsea.

Although Real Madrid has the upper hand in overall strength and more experience than its opponents, it must not be careless, because this is the Champions League final, and Chelsea can enter the final, which itself proves the strength of the Blues.

Inattentiveness and underestimation of the enemy are the most fatal weaknesses on the football field.

Zidane nodded, "Almost, facing Chelsea, we must still take the initiative to attack, the strength has the advantage, and the pass and control must be grasped in our hands, but from a safe point of view, we may still I will continue to play with a double midfielder, and in the final, it is fundamental to ensure that I do not lose first.”

When it comes to the Champions League final, it is impossible for any dominant team to take risks, because the risks and rewards do not match, as long as they are stable and there are no major mistakes, they can win.

Real Madrid is like this now. Playing a single midfielder and playing pass control is a bit risky. Moreover, Real Madrid has not yet formed its own stable tactical framework for passing and controlling the ball, so it is understandable for Ancelotti to seek stability. .

As someone has said before, every Italian manager has conservative genes in his bones.

Of course, this is not a derogatory term, because at this point, it is estimated that Yang Yang himself would still choose to be conservative.

No one can risk a team's efforts for a season, can they?

"Di Matteo is a very good coach, Boas came to Chelsea with high hopes, but it fell short, mainly because he was too young, and he was Mourinho's assistant before. In front of this big vote, Boas can't control the locker room at all, but Di Matteo has it."

Italian Di Matteo was originally an assistant coach of Boas. After Boas was dismissed, he became the acting Chelsea manager and has won unanimous approval from Chelsea in the past nine weeks.

To use the old saying in the football world that changing coaches is like changing knives to describe him is not an exaggeration at all.

"We received intelligence before that Di Matteo would chat with the players individually after every game, you should understand that."

Yang Yang nodded. That's what Ancelotti did. It's not technical. It just depends on whether you can chat or not.

Some coaches, such as Benitez, let him chat with the players one by one every game. It is estimated that in two games, he can offend everyone in the team, but Ancelotti can make every player The players all chatted to know the bottom line and were obedient.

I have to say, this is also a skill.

In Beijing dialect, he is a grandfather.

Di Matteo obviously also has such skills, and this chat not only gave him a firm footing, but also greatly improved Chelsea's cohesion, which in turn made Chelsea perform better and better in the future, and now it is even more impressive. Champions League final.

"These alone shouldn't be enough to prove Di Matteo's success, right? What about his skills and tactics?" Yang Yang asked.

Zidane nodded and smiled, "Yes, you can't win just by chatting. Di Matteo has another skill. His targeted tactics are very strong, because he is the head coach of Italy."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly. There is still a popular saying in European professional football that every Italian coach is a master of tactics.

Maybe this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it also reflects a characteristic, that is, the Italian coaches have very strong tactical ability.

"We can't figure out Di Matteo's formation right now, and we don't know which aspects he will restrain us from, so the only thing we can do is to try our best to give full play to our advantages and put our The characteristics are played out.”

Zidane's remarks basically made Yang Yang understand the meaning of the coaching staff. Real Madrid still have to resolutely play the wings and ribs after controlling the ball. This is Real Madrid's consistent advantage.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was at the forefront, suppressing Chelsea's two central defenders, Yang Yang and Robben were threatening on the two flanks, plus Marcelo and Maicon, two world-class full-backs, added assists Ability, which ensures that Real Madrid has enough attacking power to face Chelsea's defense.

"The midfielder should still be able to choose cards, right?" Yang Yang asked.

Zidane's eyes flashed a glimmer of admiration, and it's often more comfortable to talk to smart people, because they are inferring other things.

Chelsea will definitely strengthen the protection at the front of the penalty area. The double midfielder is certain. At that time, behind Ibrahimovic, there must be a person who is responsible for the organization of the ball and finding space. At the same time, he must be able to divide. Ball to the wings.

David Silva is a very good candidate. His presence can strengthen Real Madrid's midfield ability to control the ball and pass the ball to threaten the ball, but from the current point of view, Real Madrid is not lacking in attacking threats, and more is lacking in direct scoring. Ability, this is Kaka's advantage.

No matter how many tactics are said, no matter how dazzling it looks, the essence is the same, that is, the ball is passed to the center of the goal, and then the players will kick the goal and create a threat.

Whether it is a cross from the side, a cut from the ribs, or a strong thrust from the middle, these are just means to achieve this goal.

Zidane has played in Serie A for many years, and he knows the essence of Italian football tactics very well, just as Guardiola is deeply influenced by Italian football, and so is Di Matteo, who is opposite Chelsea.

Ancelotti's Real Madrid and Di Matteo's Chelsea, this looks like a matchup of one attack and one defense, or a collision between Spanish and English football, but it still has a very strong imprint of Italian football in essence.

Di Matteo is good at targeted tactics, and Yang Yang is also very curious, how will he restrain Real Madrid's attack in this game?

Strength and experience are at a disadvantage. If Di Matteo can't restrain Real Madrid's attack, then Chelsea will lose this game.

But Real Madrid is sure to win?

Neither.

Set-pieces will be Real Madrid's biggest and deadliest weakness.

This is a problem that has not been solved since Benitez's time.

The Chelsea team has Drogba.

Yang Yang still remembers how Chelsea destroyed Liverpool with a corner kick at Anfield.
