Ice Shooter of the Green Field

"Xiao Qi, I have decided to continue playing in Germany."

On the second day after the award ceremony, Qi Ce, Hao Junmin, Uchida Atsuto and Kagawa Shinji, who was able to go out for activities, had a meeting.

This was proposed by Atsuto Uchida at the beginning of the year, and it was realized after half a year. Now that the season is over, Klopp has also given the team a holiday. One day, the main thing is to let the players go to the awards ceremony. The other is to take a break, and will soon be engaged in intense preparations.

The gathering of a few people is also relatively simple. I found a terrace on the top floor in Qi Ce's Qijiazha, so that no one can see it.

After all, the relationship between Dortmund and Schalke 04, even if some players have a better relationship in private, is not easy to be seen directly.

"That's good, have you found your next home?"

"Not yet." Hao Junmin smiled shyly: "Actually, it was just decided. I talked to my agent yesterday. He still wants me to go back to China, but I want to continue to try here, so he will help me. got engaged."

"Haisang, you performed very well in the final!" Atsuto Uchida gave a thumbs up: "The assist is beautiful!"

"But we still lost..." Hao Junmin smiled wryly and shook his head: "Anyway, I have to congratulate them."

"By the way, you still have to play Barcelona now, the Champions League final." Atsuto Uchida chatted about this: "We just played against them, and I know their recent state better."

Qi Ce was shocked. He is the only one who can participate in the Champions League final. Shinji Kagawa has not fully recovered and has not started training. finals.

And Atsuto Uchida is also the only one who has participated in two rounds against Barcelona, ​​while Hao Junmin can only watch from the sidelines in both games.

"I feel that the Frenchman against me, named Abidal, should be their biggest weakness."

"What do you say?"

"He has good physical fitness, speed, strength, confrontation, these are all very good, but I feel that his sense of position in defense is relatively poor. If you play on the right, you can try to cut in the middle, and according to my experience You know, their captain probably won’t be able to play because of injuries, so he will definitely start.”

Qi Ce listened carefully, then nodded. Atsuto Uchida's words are still of reference value. After all, the Champions League semi-final is also a very important game for Barcelona, ​​and they will definitely go all out. In such a game, they are considered weak points by their opponents. , definitely has reference value.

"In short,

Just try to maintain your strength and grab them. They are very good at handling the ball, but the Frenchman's foot skills are relatively poor compared to others, so you can take advantage of this. "

Hao Junmin also nodded: "I think when we played against them, Farfan seldom pressed Abidal. If it was me, I would interfere with him playing the ball."

Listening to a few people's heated discussions, Shinji Kagawa looked frustrated: "Oh, my injury is too untimely, and I can't play so many important games."

"Keep working hard next season."

"By the way, Mr. Qi, will you be here next season?"

Shinji Kagawa's question made the dinner table quiet for a while. Hao Junmin and Atsuto Uchida also stopped chatting about their regrets in the semi-finals and looked at Qi Ce.

Zize was silent for a while: "I think it should be. Up to now, I have only read the news that I am leaving on the news. My agent has not contacted me formally."

Shinji Kagawa breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, but if you want to leave, don't forget to let me know first."

Qi Ce patted Shinji Kagawa on the back: "Don't worry."

...

the next day.

The four-day closed training began, which Klopp called "pre-battle training".

The day after Klopp returned from the rest day, he congratulated the players who won the Bundesliga awards at the Bundesliga awards ceremony, but then told them that there would be a strict closed training week.

Of course, it does not mean that the players are not allowed to go home, but that the players are prohibited from participating in unrelated parties and activities. At night, they must ensure adequate sleep and adequate nutrition.

Because the next few days may be one of the most important moments in the lives of most of these players.

From a career perspective, it may be the most important moment.

on the training ground.

Klopp's main choice is high pressure.

Facing Barcelona's possession of the ball, Klopp believes that the strategy to break the enemy is still a strong oppression, preventing them from passing the ball normally.

This requires a strong physical backing, but obviously, physical training for a day or two is completely useless, but now, Dortmund has also adapted to Klopp's tactics and running, and there is no major problem in physical fitness.

But the main problem now is that Barcelona's ball control cannot be compared with ordinary teams. Their ability to control the ball can be said to be at its peak. The strongest control flow style of play in history is the current Barcelona team!

In other words, if you want to use pressure to interfere with the opponent's ball possession, you need to spend more energy than before to oppress and interfere.

Although it is likely that the effect is not ideal.

Barcelona's midfielder not only has the ability to pass the ball, if it is only the ability to pass the ball, then Shaheen can also go to Barcelona to replace Xavi or Iniesta, or Busquets.

The most important thing is the ability to get rid of the ball and resist pressure.

On the field, Klopp arranged for Shaheen, Da Silva, and Gotze, who have the best small skills and passing skills in the team, to imitate Barcelona's position, allowing Royce, Zize, Kuba, and Lewandowski Wait for someone to oppress and force.

Obviously, in the final, Barcelona will definitely use strong ball control to control the game. Although this imitative training has a certain effect, Shaheen and others will definitely not be able to truly restore Barcelona's midfielder's ball control.

If the Habaibu combination can be easily imitated, then the ball-handling style of play can still be popular for a few years.

Qi Ce, who came from the future, of course knows that the tactic of tikitaka will not last long. Around the 2014 World Cup, this method will no longer be the mainstream of football, and it will return to confrontation and speed.

The main reason is the aging of the Habaibu group.

Each of these players alone is a rare player, and combined together, it is even more rare in a century. The popularity of this style of play is the effect of these players at their peak. Let everyone compete to imitate.

However, imitation is not very good. Except for Barcelona and Spain, other teams without Habaibu are a bit imitative. After Guardiola left Barcelona, ​​it is difficult to reproduce the true style of tikitaka.

The mainstream training in these two days is the lap game.

That is, everyone forms a circle, with Shaheen, Da Silva and Gotze as the main center point to pass each other. Sometimes the circle is small, and sometimes it is big. Zize, Royce, Kuba, and Lewandowski Individuals are mainly responsible for robbing, which is also a very rare phenomenon.

After all, none of these players are defensive players, they are all attackers. It is rare for a few of them to focus on steals and blocking positions when the big game is approaching.

Then the tactical training is also to arrange a pair with good skills to carry out pass coaching, and the other team is the oppression group headed by Qi Ce. The training in the past few days is also very exhausting.

Generally, it is to practice pressing and robbing in the morning, and practice defense and counterattack in the afternoon. Defensive counterattack is also the main style of play for ball possession. Klopp refers to Mourinho.

Although he fought with Mourinho on the court and fought off the court, Klopp will still learn the advantages of Mourinho's style of play, especially Klopp himself also made a fortune by relying on defensive counterattacks.

However, the day before we went to Wembley, these training sessions were also over, and we practiced set kicks and penalties.

The training on the last day was mainly to prepare for the final. Needless to say, set-pieces, Barcelona’s style of play often leaves the backcourt relatively empty. Free kicks and corner kicks generated during counterattacks are all powerful tools for scoring goals, especially when they are playing against Barcelona. If you don't get much possession of the ball, you must seize the few opportunities.

While training free kicks, Zize's direct free kick scoring efficiency was not very high, not even as high as he kicked free kicks in official games.

This made Klopp and his teammates very puzzled.

In addition, it goes without saying about penalty kicks. No one knows what will happen in the final, and penalty kicks must also be practiced.
