Coaching career started as a college team coach

///Happy birthday to me~~///

///I turned 19 yesterday! ///

///And when I was writing yesterday morning, I basically didn’t write anything. I was very depressed for the whole morning so I didn’t update. Today, I’ve been better at accumulating manuscripts. ///

When Wei Le was a student, he was also a football fan. He also had doubts when watching football.

There is a saying called "no name in the final". Generally speaking, as long as it is an important final, the tactics of both parties will be extremely conservative, the rhythm will be slower, and there will be fewer goals.

There are also some finals where some teams adopt tactics that they are not familiar with. Sometimes they can achieve miraculous results, and sometimes they are beaten by their opponents.

Some coaches who are usually quite wise often make stupid moves in important games and often make decisions that are difficult to understand after reviewing them.

In the 2011-12 season, Barcelona reached the semi-finals. After losing 0-1 to Chelsea in the first leg, Guardiola decided to use the 3-3-1-3 formation in the second leg, with Alves staying on the bench and Cuenca as the right winger. This tactic worked for a while, with Barcelona leading 2-0, but then Ramirez and Torres scored a goal each on the counterattack, and Barcelona was eliminated.

In the 2013-14 season, Guardiola, who coached Bayern, led the team to four championships, but was eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals. After losing 0-1 in the first leg, Guardiola decided to use the 4-2-4 formation in the second leg, but the opponent scored three goals in the first 34 minutes.

Since then, for various reasons, Guardiola's team has rarely even made it to the semi-finals.

For example, in the 16-17 season, Guardiola's Manchester City met Monaco's Mbappe, who was in the limelight; in the 17-18 season, Manchester City was defeated twice by Liverpool. The controversial penalty of the referee in the second round made him the focus of changing the course of the game.

Regardless of the reason for the elimination, many people criticized that Guardiola seemed to have forgotten all his skills in the Champions League.

Some conspiracy theorists also said that Guardiola deliberately wanted the team to lose.

At first, no matter how he explained it, Wei Le couldn't understand it.

But when the final really came to him, he felt Guardiola's dilemma.

Wei Le wanted to win the championship, and Wei Le's desire for this championship was extremely high. It was not as casual as he revealed to the media. Wei Le's attitude towards the Europa League championship was no less than Guardiola's attitude towards the Champions League championship.

Those were the most important honors and achievements of Guardiola and Wei Le, and the glory they wanted to achieve throughout their lives.

Therefore, they are afraid that they have not done enough.

However, there is no difference between high and low in tactical games. It is just that in one case, I happen to restrain you, and in another case, you happen to restrain me.

Just like the joke, I thought you were on the second floor, but in fact you were on the fifth floor, but were you really on the fifth floor? No, you may have expected that I expected you to be on the fifth floor, so you were already on the seventh floor.

What can bring victory? Guardiola doesn't know, and Wei Le doesn't know.

The more he thought about it, the more fear Wei Le felt in his preparations day by day.

This kind of fear and helplessness is something he has never experienced before, and he has never experienced it when facing any other team.

Atalanta, Dortmund, Salzburg Red Bull, Marseille, these teams have more or less their own problems, which led to the fact that they were not able to show the state they should show, allowing Wolves to pick up the bargain.

From the beginning to the final, Wolves' luck in the draw was actually very good, and they basically did not encounter any star players who could change the situation and strong teams that controlled the game.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has always been in their strongest state, having overcome all the obstacles along the way to get here.

The pressure on Wolves is completely different.

Although Simeone was sent to the stands, which may affect their performance on the field, their tactics will still be arranged by Simeone, which will not be affected by Simeone's suspension.

In the tactical simulations with Atletico Madrid over and over again, Wei Le has always had more losses than wins, and he can't find any particularly suitable solutions.

He naturally wants to change.

He has tried three central defenders and even some very radical formations, but their result is just a worse loss in the tactical simulation.

What should be done?

If three central defenders are used, what if this decision not only does not bring a decision to Simeone, but is anticipated by him? What if Simeone himself uses three central defenders first? Atletico Madrid is behindThree central defenders were used in two league games.

If four defenders were used, it would be difficult to achieve miraculous results.

If he wanted to strengthen the offense, Wei Le also considered the extreme formation of 4-2-4.

He even started to promote the team's training according to this formation, but it was later stopped.

Wei Le couldn't ask anyone about this issue.

Motta, a "quasi-employee" who has always admired Wei Le, is dealing with his retirement. In addition, he is not a tactical master and can't provide Wei Le with any particularly good ideas.

Cai Huiqiang, who contacts him from time to time in China, is also busy with his team's affairs and can't provide any suggestions.

Yang Qi... It's not easy for him to understand what Wei Le is saying.

In the deductions over and over again, Wei Le did not enter the system for simulation one night, but chose to sleep normally, but he dreamed of Atletico Madrid that night.

When Wei Le woke up the next day and appeared in the office with sleepy eyes, everyone was very surprised.

Wei Le has always been the most sober person in the team. Why does he look so bad today? What happened?

After the short morning meeting, Celars came over and asked Wei Le what happened to him today.

Wei Le shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Celars sighed, "The pressure is really high."

"Can you see it?" Wei Le asked, and Celars nodded.

Wei Le's expression became serious, "The players can also see it, I can't see them like this."

After that, he hurried to the bathroom to wash his face.

"How is it?"

"A little better." Celars said truthfully, "But he still doesn't look sober."

Wei Le sighed, "Okay."

Noticing Celars' worried eyes, Wei Le took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how to play in the finals now, so... I have no confidence."

Celars shook his head, and he noticed that Wei Le had been trapped in Atletico for too long. Because the team has basically secured the fifth place in the league, although there is still a game to play against West Ham United, Wei Le has already put more of his mind on the Europa League final.

He really has no experience in dealing with such double difficulties, and he was a little flustered at this time.

Celars suggested, "You might as well put Atletico Madrid aside first. Even if you lock yourself up for two or three days without eating or drinking, there will be no progress."

"Why not take a look at the situation of West Ham United? Anyway, play the last league game well first."

In the next one or two days, Wei Le followed Celars's advice, focusing on the last league game, and did not do too many tactical simulations in the system.

But the countdown electronic watch hung on the wall by Wei Le was still running professionally. When the countdown was reset to zero, it was just the time for Wolves to play against Atletico Madrid.

Seeing that there were only 7 days left, Wei Le couldn't let go of his nervous mood as if he was taking the college entrance examination for the second time.

For this game against West Ham United, the atmosphere was generally positive.

The last round of the league schedule was that all Premier League teams started together, which to a certain extent avoided the possibility of match-fixing and tacit scoring. This also allowed direct opponents with similar points to see how another team that threatened them played at the same time.

When cheers rang out from the stands in the 20th minute, Wei Le knew that at least his rival Chelsea did not play well in this game.
