Chapter 296 End the Battle in the First Half! [The Third Update of the Kidney Burst, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]

When Ajax set foot on the flight to Lisbon, CSKA Moscow had already arrived in Lisbon and checked into a pre-booked hotel. The Russians with deep pockets had booked the entire hotel.

In addition to being used for the team, there are two thousand special fans who are specially invited by CSKA Moscow.

These two thousand people include the owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich.

It is known throughout Europe that the Chelsea owner is inextricably linked to CSKA Moscow.

After the team checked into the hotel, the head coach Gasaev held a team meeting immediately.

The 51-year-old Gasayev is a well-known head coach in Russia. He has coached teams such as Dynamo Moscow and Sparta for a long time, and later served as the head coach of the Russian National Youth Team. The dual duties of the national team coach did not exclusively coach CSKA until July 2004.

Today, a year later, he took CSKA to the stage of the UEFA Cup final.

This is a major event in Russian football, from President Vladimir Putin to ordinary Russian fans, all of them are looking forward to it.

But this time, CSKA's opponent is the Champions League champions Ajax!

Although Ajax has lost a lot of strength after selling five stars, but the thin camel is bigger than the horse, Ajax is still a European giant, no matter what, it is not something that CSKA can despise.

Gasayev also attaches great importance to this game. The team went to Portugal for training early in order to better adapt to the environment and climate here, wait for work and wait for the arrival of Ajax.

"For us in this game, the biggest advantage is our physical fitness."

In front of the team members, Gasayev analyzed the situation on both sides of the enemy.

"As the Champions League champions, Ajax's performance in the Eredivisie this season is not very good. It was only yesterday that they reversed PSV Eindhoven in the league and reached the top of the league table, so they have experienced Came to Lisbon after a tough fight."

The players of CSKA nodded in unison, and obviously they all captured the meaning of the head coach.

Three days after the hard battle, the final of the UEFA Cup was ushered in, with a long journey of more than 2,000 kilometers, plus the climate change from the Netherlands to Portugal, it is completely conceivable that Ajax will have more than just opponents in the final. Central Army.

"The first 45 minutes will be the key, I can tell you with certainty that Ajax will attack and they will do everything they can to break our goal in the first 45 minutes."

If your physical fitness is at a disadvantage, you must end the battle with sufficient physical fitness.

It can be said that Ajax has no other choice but to press it out in the opening game.

As the team's head coach, Gasayev knows very well that CSKA Moscow's overall strength is slightly inferior to that of Ajax.

"Our task in the first half was to defend, to defend well and not give Ajax any chances to score, and at the same time, the second half would be our chance."

As long as the game entered the second half, CSKA's physical strength had an advantage, and Ajax could only capture without physical fitness, but this was also in an ideal state.

"There is one person that everyone must pay attention to."

As soon as Gasayev said it, a picture of the player was immediately switched on the big screen behind.

"His name is Yang Yang."

In the conference room, CSKA Moscow players all nodded, and everyone knew him.

"Everyone should be familiar with him. Not long ago, he just broke a legendary record of Ronaldo. Yesterday, he scored twice in the Eredivisie, narrowing the goal gap with Kuyt. , He has been in very good shape recently, and he has a tendency to become more and more brave with more battles."

For players who play in the Russian league, Yang Yang has long been a star.

In the Champions League final last season, he used a lore to bring Ajax a Champions League title.

Later, he led the Chinese team to defeat Japan in the Asian Cup and won the first Asian Cup championship in Chinese history, and he also became the youngest player in the history of the Asian Cup.

As a neighbor of China, Russians have long heard of his name.

This season, the competition between Yang Yang and Kuyt for the league's top scorer has already spread from the Netherlands to European football. Especially after Yang Yang broke Ronaldo's record, it has attracted the attention of mainstream European media.

Everyone is very curious, how far can this Chinese player of the same age as Ronaldo go this season?

Gasayev was obviously afraid of Yang Yang, and knocked on the podium hard, "Remember, he is the most dangerous player in Ajax and the most terrifying killer, don't give him any chance, don't delusionally think that he will An error occurred."

In the conference room, the players of the CSKA were all facing the enemy, and they did not dare to be careless.

How can it be easy for a player who can compete for the top scorer in the Netherlands at the age of 18 and break Ronaldo's record?

"In theory, Yang Yang is a right winger, but in reality, his position is becoming more and more erratic. He will appear in any threatening and threatening area, right, middle, left. All in all, he is very Danger."

"No matter where he appears, our defenders must limit him as soon as possible, not let him get the ball, not let him shoot, and not give him the slightest chance."

Whether in the previous training or in today's tactical meeting, Gasayev has given enough reminders to the players to let them know about Yang Yang's danger, hoping to attract the attention of the players.

Of course, the war is imminent, and Gasayev is also unwilling to grow his opponent's ambition too much and destroy his own prestige.

Afterwards, he told the players, "This is not like our fixed impression, it is a final with a huge disparity, Ajax sold five main players, and its strength is no longer as outstanding as when it won the Champions League last year. , and we are not lambs to be slaughtered by our opponents, this is a close battle."

"Our fans in China are waiting for us to send back the news of winning the championship!"

For the giants, the UEFA Cup is somewhat tasteless.

But whether it is for the Portuguese Super League, the Eredivisie or the Russian Super League, the UEFA Cup is still very attractive.

Ajax and CSKA Moscow joined forces in the UEFA Cup final, which attracted the attention of fans in the Netherlands and Russia.

The Alvalade Stadium can accommodate more than 52,000 fans, but tickets are sold out before the final.

Portugal is also very concerned about this event. Not only the President and Prime Minister of Portugal and a group of politicians will be there in person, but even Russian President Vladimir Putin will send a special envoy to Lisbon, and the Dutch government has also paid great attention.

In order to ensure the safety of the final, Portugal invested 600 police and 300 security personnel just to maintain the scene.

The rich and powerful CSKA Moscow used five planes to bring more than 2,000 Russian VIP fans to Lisbon Airport on the day of the final, including Chelsea owner Roman Roman Abramovich.

The gathering of many political and business celebrities has undoubtedly greatly enhanced the weight of this final.

Since Yang Yang will play on behalf of Ajax, China is also very concerned about this final, not only live broadcast, but also specially sent a media team to Lisbon to report on the spot of this domestic much-anticipated decisive battle.

After the UEFA Cup, they will also follow Ajax back to Amsterdam and continue to track the weekend's Eredivisie League to meet the long-awaited demand of domestic fans.

This is not just a matter of Yang Yang alone, but a matter of Chinese football as a whole.

CSKA Moscow wears red shirts and black trousers in a traditional three-five-two formation.

The goalkeeper is Akinfeev, and the defense is the Berezutski brothers who are separated from the left and right central defenders. These two players are twin brothers, and they are both playing central defenders. Ignashevic is in the middle.

The midfielder is Zhirkov, Rasimic, Aldonin and Odiach, and Brazilian midfielder Daniel Carvalho comes forward.

The two strikers in the frontcourt are Brazilian striker Wagner Lowe and Croatian striker Olic.

Ajax also did their best to play in this game.

The goalkeeper arranged the veteran Hans Funk to start, the back line was a combination of Maxwell, Fermaelen, Heitinga and Maicon, and the midfielder arranged for the double midfielder Galasek and De Jong to partner. Ned stepped forward, and Pinar, Charlesteas and Yang Yang formed a frontcourt trident.

This is also the strongest lineup that Ajax can put out so far.

It is not difficult to see that Ronald Koeman still arranges a double midfielder. He is still quite afraid of CSKA Moscow's counterattack ability, especially Brazilian midfielder Daniel Carvalho, who repeatedly reminded the players before the game. pay attention.

Arranging Galasek and De Jong to partner with a double midfielder is also estimated to limit Daniel Carvalho.

CSKA Moscow adopts the three-back play method. Facing Ajax's four-three-three-winger tactics, it is still somewhat disadvantageous, especially in the defense of the two wings. Specifically, we will wait until the game to see how CSKA Moscow arranges.

The referee of this game is Graham Pohl from England. He is a referee with very rich law enforcement experience. In the player passage before the game, he clearly told the players on both sides that he hoped to get It is a smooth game, I hope both players can enjoy the fun of the game.

Maxwell and Maicon are very familiar with Daniel Carvalho and Wagner Lowe. The four Brazilians stood in the queues of the two teams, chatting endlessly, what they were talking about, the scene No one could understand.

Yang Yang had learned a little Portuguese with Maxwell and Maicon, and vaguely guessed that they were talking about things in Brazil.

For these, Yang Yang has no interest.

He stood silently at the end of the Ajax lineup, slowly adjusting his emotions, allowing himself to gradually enter the state of the game.

Ronald Koeman said that the battle will end in the first half!
