Super Marshal

Meet Barcelona again in the cold!

This has undoubtedly become a hot topic that major media around the world are reporting and hyping.

Everyone knows that Gao Han was born in Barcelona, ​​but he has never coached Barcelona. He even led the team to defeat Barcelona many times during his more than ten years of coaching, even during the peak period of Guardiola's coaching.

It can be said that Barcelona's most painful defeats all fell on Gao Han, which made everyone have to admit that Gao Han is a veritable Barcelona star.

So much so that the day after Barcelona eliminated Atletico Madrid and entered the Champions League final, Daily Sports published a front-page headline calling on Villanova and his team.

"Are you ready to encounter the cold again?"

Commentators said that Paris Saint-Germain, led by Gao Han, is the most stable team in the Champions League this season. It has performed very stably from the group stage to the knockout rounds. This is related to the team's effective rotation mechanism.

On the other hand, Barcelona is plagued by injuries this season. Even head coach Vilanova left the team for a long time due to parotid gland cancer. This makes Barcelona seem to be struggling this season. La Liga is still competing with Atletico Madrid. They fought hard and failed to establish the league championship.

"Perhaps, this time we should thank Mourinho."

"It was his devastating foul tactics that caused Paris Saint-Germain to lose its core midfielder Yaya Toure. This player is the balancer of Paris Saint-Germain's midfield and can attack and defend well. Losing him will inevitably bring losses to PSG's midfield takes a huge toll and this might be the breaking point for the team in the final."

"But we must not be careless. Gao Han's strategizing and formation have always been of the highest level in the world. Although Yaya Toure is absent, Paris Saint-Germain still has Matuidi, Cabaye, and Pablo Pablo in the team. Strong players and young players such as Storey and Rabiot are all players that Gao Han admires and relies on very much."

Daily Sports also said that Barcelona's road to the finals was stumbling. Vilanova and the coaching staff must reflect and use the next nearly month to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League finals.

In contrast, Marca's focus is on Atletico Madrid and Gao Han.

The front page headline showed the scene of Atletico Madrid defender Ramos, captain Torres, veteran Villa and others hugging each other and crying. The tragic scene made everyone feel sad for them from the bottom of their hearts.

The performance of the Shenlian Legion is not bad. In the past two or three seasons, the team has been continuously strengthened. The joining of Schneiderlin and Herrera has made Atletico Madrid's midfield strength improve by leaps and bounds, but they are still far away from the championship. But it's always one step away.

La Liga is still lagging behind Barcelona, ​​and the Champions League has struggled to reach the semi-finals, but ended up in the semi-finals.

As one of the team's best players this season, Ramos felt sad for the team's experience. They fought until the last minute at Camp Nou, but the miracle still didn't happen. They were only one step away from the Champions League final. A goal.

"In the last minute of stoppage time, Ramos and Torres were still on the pitch yelling at their teammates."

"This iron-blooded central defender, who was rated by Gao Han as the most spirited Atletico Madrid player, performed very well in this game. Not only did he open the scoring for the team, but he also froze Ibrahimovic for the whole game and also made many beautiful goals. defense, but he still couldn't prevent the team from losing."

"After the game whistle sounded, Ramos fell silent and cried bitterly, unlike his usual strong image. Torres and Villa both came over to comfort this little brother."

"After Gao Han left, Atletico Madrid has not won the Champions League for ten years, and the last time it won the La Liga championship was many years ago."

"In the past few years, the team has gone through the pain of preparing to build a new stadium, constantly selling players, and then ushered in a metabolism. After the painstaking management of the two famous coaches Heynckes and Simeone, Atletico Madrid now seems to be back on its feet again. It has the strength to compete for the La Liga title and the Champions League title.”

"It's a pity to lose in the semi-finals, but Simeone and his players should keep trying."

Compared to Atletico Madrid's sadness, Marca still appreciated Gao Han more.

Having led five different league teams to the Champions League finals five times, Gao Han has undoubtedly created a legend in European football, but what amazes all fans even more is the stable tactical framework shown by Paris Saint-Germain this season. , and the familiar Gao Han’s tactical concepts are all amazing.

"The two rounds of the game totaled nearly 200 minutes, but Real Madrid only played good football for ten minutes, and the rest of the time was controlled by Paris Saint-Germain."

"Perhaps Gao Han should criticize the front three, especially in the second round. Aubameyang missed several very good scoring opportunities. Otherwise, they will bloodbath Real Madrid in the semifinals."

If Marca's stance is a little biased towards the cold, then Aspen, as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, also said in a front-page comment that Paris Saint-Germain's victory is convincing.

"The familiar cold weather, the familiar concept, the familiar ball possession rate, and the familiar offensive football have brought a familiar victory."

The French media went straight into the carnival rhythm.

L’Equipe newspaper gave Gao Han a very high evaluation on the front page, believing that Gao Han will become one of the greatest coaches in the history of French football because he won the Ligue 1 title in advance and entered both the French Cup and the Champions League. Winning the final, he is likely to become the first Triple Crown team in the history of Ligue 1.

"There is no doubt that Gao Han has spent two years creating a very competitive lineup for Paris Saint-Germain, allowing this French giant to usher in a comprehensive revival."

The French newspaper Le Figaro even gave Gao Han the Champions League championship ahead of schedule, saying in a high-profile manner, "Any team that is an enemy of Gao Han will be pitiful!"

Le Monde also confidently believes that with Gao Han's past record, "Barcelona will shatter their dreams at Wembley Stadium."

The news that Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final and encountered Barcelona not only shocked the entire French and European football world, but even French President Hollande personally came forward to encourage Paris Saint-Germain to keep up their efforts and strive to win the championship at Wembley Stadium. , and also said that he would definitely come to the scene to help out.

"Yes, there is no doubt that I am a fan of Gao Han and PSG, and I am very much looking forward to the decisive battle at Wembley Stadium in a month's time. I believe that the team I support and like will be the final winner. "

"Gao Han is a magical coach. He comes from magical China. He has made indelible contributions to Paris Saint-Germain and French football."

However, when the praises from all over the world were overwhelming, Gao Han posed a big problem to his assistant, the French star Zidane, at Saint-Germain-Lyon.

…………

…………

"Tell me, if it were you, how would you play in the Champions League final?"

Zidane sat in Gao Han's office, his brows furrowed as high as a mountain, and his whole person was in distress.

He originally thought that Gao Han called him over to tell him what to do, but he didn't expect that Gao Han would give him such a big problem, which was a bit difficult for him.

After all, it was the Champions League final!

In his life, Zidane has only experienced three Champions League finals, and they were all as a player. However, it is a bit embarrassing to say that unlike Gao Han's unbeatable record, Zidane's winning rate in the Champions League finals is not high.

The first two times he participated were as Juventus players. At that time, the Bianconeri reached the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons. The year before Zidane joined, Juventus defeated Ajax on penalty kicks to win the championship. , but in the following two years, they first lost to Hitzfeld's Dortmund 1-3, and then lost 0-1 to Heynckes' Real Madrid.

This also led to many rumors that Zidane was unreliable at critical moments and failed to support Juventus' midfield and frontcourt.

Fortunately, after joining Real Madrid, they defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League final. Zidane also scored the most beautiful kick in his career, which made many people begin to forget the previous two times. The painful experience of losing the Champions League final.

But Zidane is really confused about how to play in the Champions League final.

Yaya Toure is destined to be absent, which will cause irreparable losses to Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder. How to fill the vacancy left by Yaya Toure has become the first priority before Zidane. problem.

Both Cabaye and Pastore can play, and both players are quite suitable. Judging from their performance in the past two seasons, they can greatly improve the team's ball control after playing, but what about defense?

Pirlo is not young, and his defensive ability is very weak. Originally, Yaya Toure was there to support and cover him. If Cabaye and Pastore were brought in at this time, he might be able to pass and control the ball, but the defense It's going to be bad for sure.

More importantly, can Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona in terms of passing control?

Even this season, Barcelona's most criticized thing is not their passing and controlling style, but that their offense is not sharp enough and their pressure is not as good as before, which leads to problems on both their offensive and defensive ends.

If Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona fight for passing control, it will probably be useless.

Then go to Matuidi?

This player is good at offense and defense. When Yaya Toure was absent, he served as deputy many times to assist Pirlo. He has experience, performed well, and has the ability to take and play the ball. He should be considered the safest candidate.

It was also at this moment that Zidane suddenly discovered that the choice was not difficult, because Gao Han had repeatedly rehearsed and trained many possible situations in the past two years. Before the game, he originally What should have been a difficult choice turned out to be very easy.

For example, using Matuidi to fill Yaya Toure's position is the best example.

This made Zidane couldn't help but admire Gao Han even more.

But once the candidates are selected, how to fight next is the key.

Fighting for passing control is definitely not possible, and retreating is not the style of Paris Saint-Germain, so there is only one choice.

Zidane's eyes flashed with amusement, but he soon frowned again and thought hard, trying to be as thoughtful as possible.

The whole thinking process was watched by Gao Han. He had been sitting silently aside, seemingly reading a newspaper, but in fact he had been paying attention to Zidane's movements.

When he saw Zidane's expression glowing, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he began to read the newspaper in his hand attentively.

From the pages of France's largest newspaper, it is still very satisfying to see comment articles that praise yourself, especially when even the President of France comes forward to praise you.

After Zidane thought hard for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Gao Han.

"I think we should play against Barcelona!" the French star said loudly.
