Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1892 The eve of the finals

"Today Luo Kai and his agent appeared at the airport in Shanhai... Judging from the footage, he was still using crutches, which made people a little worried. But when he was interviewed at the airport, Luo Kai said that he was using crutches for To reduce the pressure on his injured foot, it is actually no problem to walk normally, but just to be on the safe side... The fact that he can return to China to participate in the team's training actually shows that Luo Kai's injury is not serious.

"He performed well in Tramed this season. With his outstanding performance, Tramed also won the Premier League championship this season. If he hadn't been injured in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Tramed said Maybe it is really possible to reach the Champions League final and stage the 'Chinese Derby' in the Champions League final with Hu Lai.

"We all hope that Luo Kai can recover from injury as soon as possible and make it in time for the first group match of the World Cup... He is very important to the Chinese team's offense on the right wing. In Dillon's tactical system, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai The wing-backs play a very important role, they can advance, attack, retreat or defend..."

"Almost at the same time that Luo Kai arrived in Shanhai, Hulay finally left Madrid. He set off from Madrid with the Pirates team and went to Munich three days in advance to prepare for the Champions League final against Catalonia. After the last round of the league, There are fourteen days between the Champions League finals. Although the Pirates players get sufficient rest, it also brings about another problem-will not playing a game for too long make the players lose their sensitivity to the rhythm of the game? ?

"Parotti obviously took this into consideration, so just last Sunday, Madrid Pirates organized an internal warm-up match against the Pirates youth team. This game was not open to the public. We only know that in the end the Pirates first team finished with five The ball beat the opponent..."

"When we left for Munich today, a large number of Pirates fans came to the airport to see the team off. This is a historic moment for the Madrid Pirates. They may set a record for successfully defending the Champions League after the restructuring. But it may also Become a foil for Catalan United...

"Since 1, no team has been able to successfully defend the championship of this competition. The Madrid Kings once reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons last season, but in the end they lost at the feet of the Madrid Pirates. Now it is the turn of the Madrid Pirates to repeat Have you experienced the king’s experience?”

"Catalan United are confident of winning the Champions League this season. Although their main left back Calderon is unable to play due to a red card suspension, they are more motivated and have a historical record on their side... …

"Their head coach Reilly Vicente said in an interview after the team arrived in Munich that the whole team is ready and will go all out at the Iron Dome..."

※※※

"Kendor, didn't you say you shouldn't have a mentality?"

Looking at the news reporting the pre-match press conference, Reynaldo Lima turned to ask Kabangca.

In the news, Catalan United head coach Reilly Vicente looked very confident in front of the camera. He said that he came to Munich to do only one thing, and that is to win the championship.

"But you can't ask our head coach to say before the final that he thinks we will definitely lose to the Pirates, right?" Kabangka said.

"There are some things that you just need to know in your heart. You see, we didn't look down on the pirates at all during training, right? We were still very serious about preparing for the war."

Lima nodded, that was indeed true.

In order to cope with the offensive frenzy of Madrid Pirates, Reilly Vicente's coaching team designed many defensive tactics for the team.

There is targeted man-to-man defense, as well as zone defense that cuts off Hulay and other passers.

In short, not letting Hulay get the ball, not letting Hulay easily get the ball, not letting Hulay have the opportunity to easily get the ball and shoot, is the top priority in Catalonia United's defensive tactics.

On this basis, Catalonia United used their superior ball control ability to ensure that the rhythm of the game was at their feet, preventing the Madrid Pirates from easily organizing an offense and allowing them to create as few offensive opportunities as possible, so that the threat of Hulay Naturally, it was greatly reduced - there was no chance to attack, so how could Hu Lai score so many goals?

In addition to defense, Catalonia United also worked hard on offense.

After all, the key to winning the game is scoring goals.

It is impossible for Catalonia to guarantee that Hulay will not score a goal - given Hulay's current state, it is better to hope that Hulay will be injured and unable to play during the pre-match warm-up...

Catalonia's defensive efforts are not to prevent Hulay from scoring a goal, but to prevent him from scoring fewer goals.

Then take advantage of Catalonia's offensive advantage and score more goals. Demoralized Madrid Pirates players.

A player like Hu Lai who relies heavily on team help will naturally not be able to perform if his teammates cannot perform.

Reilly Vicente took plenty of inspiration from the second leg of the semi-final between Pirates of Madrid and Ruerrhein.

He believes that Ruerrhein's head coach Leroy Kuhn's tactical ideas are generally correct, but they are not perfect enough in specific implementation.

For example, he placed too much emphasis on pressing high, leaving too many hidden dangers for his defense.

In fact, he should not compete with Madrid Pirates for goals, but should compete with Madrid Pirates for defense.

But he didn't do that.

So although Ruhrlein scored two goals in the away game, they conceded six goals. The defense line was completely penetrated and broken.

Vicente learned this lesson and became more balanced in both attack and defense.

However, he also understood Kuhn's approach. After all, Ruerrhein's lineup was not as thick as Catalonia, so Kuhn had no choice but to do so.

Doesn't he know the problems on his defensive line?

He knew, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't change anything.

Compared with Ruerrhein, Catalonia United has stronger overall strength, and has good players in both offense and defense, and its offense and defense are more balanced.

Naturally, he has more confidence to deal with the Madrid Pirates.

And there is no secret what tactics Madrid Pirates will adopt without Juan Ramirez.

They have adopted all-out offensive tactics for three consecutive games.

If the 2:1 win over Turias in the 37th round of the league was just a "little test", then the Pirates tasted the sweetness in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Then they defeated Samirspor 3:0 in the final round of the league. The offensive attack strengthened Paroti's determination to promote a comprehensive attack.

After all, without Juan Ramirez, the Madrid Pirates' defensive strength has been severely damaged. Even if the Madrid Pirates want to defend against Catalonia, they may not be able to defend it.

In this case, it is better to continue to attack, just like they did in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and maybe they can create miracles.

But miracles may not be so easy to create.

In response to the Madrid Pirates' attack with no retreat, Catalonia United used their best ball-control style to control the ball at their feet, look for openings, and then suddenly speed up, almost hitting every shot accurately.

Doing such meticulous work shows that Vicente does not regard the pirates as an opponent that is easy to defeat.

"Anyway, remember, Renaldo. No matter what Hu does or says in the game, don't take it to heart. We just have to play our own ball."

Reynaldo Lima nodded, indicating that he was taught.

"Our game will be the same as the second semi-final. There is only one way, and that is to attack."

Parotti addressed the players.

It was the eve of the Champions League final, and Parotti called the players together for the last time and held a pre-match preparation meeting.

He first reviewed the team's offensive tactics for everyone to deepen everyone's understanding and impression.

After finishing the tactical content, he continued:

"In the past few days, the whole world has been discussing whether we can defend the title, but for me, this is the least important question. Why? Because if we do well enough in the final, we will definitely be able to defend the title. But If we can't do it, it will just be another confirmation of the 'defending curse'."

Parotti's tone was calm, his speaking speed was not fast, and he was not impassioned.

"People always say, 'Offense wins fans, defense wins championships.' The implication is that offense can't win championships. Can offense win championships? I don't know. But I think when we do something to the extreme, What else can't be done?

"In the past period, we have been practicing offense. Tomorrow will be the final test. But I believe that after reversing Ruerrhein at home, reaching the final and creating history, we can also create history again in the final. . Because history is originally created by people."

He repeated what he had said to the players after the semifinals, and although his tone was calm, it still betrayed his ambition.

PS, I'm sorry, I stayed up all night watching football. My schedule was reversed and I felt dizzy.

I forgot to set up automatic updates yesterday.

Make it up now.

In addition, we predict the results of today’s four games:

Tunisia and France, is there any suspense? I think France will win by four goals!

Australia and Denmark, I am cautiously optimistic about Denmark's one-goal victory.

Poland and Argentina, this game is still a life and death battle for Argentina. They must defeat Poland to ensure qualifying, so I am optimistic that Argentina will beat Poland with two goals!

Saudi Arabia and Mexico, I think Saudi Arabia may defeat Mexico and then join hands with Argentina to qualify, so Saudi Arabia will win by one goal.
