Super Marshal

May 25th, the day of the Champions League final.

Two years after acquiring the team, the team reached the Champions League final and was still the favorite to win the championship. This made Tamim, the boss behind Paris Saint-Germain, very proud. He specially booked the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the south of Hyde Park in London's West End for the reception. Everyone at Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the friends and relatives he invited.

At Gao Han's request, the team and coaching staff were placed on a separate floor, all closed to the outside world.

And in order to better prepare for the game, the team has strict regulations on everything from catering recipes to game day schedules.

After having breakfast together, the whole team rests and relaxes. The players can visit relatives and friends in the hotel, and return to the conference room on time for the meeting an hour later.

This is the last pre-match preparation meeting before the finals.

In the past nearly a month, the coaching staff has been practicing and fine-tuning the tactics for the Champions League final through daily training, especially some targeted tactics, and has been basically fully practiced.

The core coaching staff headed by Zidane divided the tactical arrangements against Barcelona into subdivided tasks in different areas, and handed them over to the starting players one by one, so that each of them can understand their responsibilities on the court, and Response measures after emergencies occur.

Even in order to better prepare for the game, the team specially asked Neymar and Drogba to imitate Ibrahimovic and Messi to train the defensive players' response measures, with the purpose of ensuring a foolproof final.

It can be said that on the final day, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and everything that needs to be practiced has been basically practiced. The rest depends on the players' on-the-spot performance after entering Wembley Stadium.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and run around to find out.

In the pre-match preparation meeting, Zidane once again explained the starting tactics and requirements for this final to all players. At the same time, he also carefully and seriously instructed each player to pay attention to the details in each position and how to deal with them. Emergency plan.

This allows players to have a code of conduct on the court and makes the team more unified.

Since the beginning of this season, Zidane has been playing the role of Gao Han's chief assistant. The players are also very convinced of him and know that Zidane is Gao Han's spokesperson, so they will have no objections.

Like every previous preparation meeting before a game, after Zidane elaborated on the coaching staff's requirements, Gao Han stepped onto the main podium.

Turning off the projector and loudspeaker, Gao Han looked directly at the players in front of him, and the players also looked at the coach.

Gao Han likes this kind of look at each other very much, which can make each other understand each other better.

"I believe that at this moment, there is no need for me to say anything more. You all know what team you are going to face next, what situation you are facing, and you must also know what you should do."

After hearing Gao Han's opening remarks, every player nodded solemnly.

The details of preparing for games have always been the aspect that Gao Han is most praised by his peers, media and fans.

He has always believed that tactics are very broad, and each link must be meticulous, implemented to the extreme, and implemented for every player. Only then can the players form a synergy on the court and the team can unite. Be competitive.

"You all know what you should pay attention to, and you also know how to play the game."

Gao Han slowly walked down from the main podium and approached the first row of players.

"I have played four Champions League finals with Sergio Garcia, Buenaventura and Pedro Haro, Zidane has played three Champions League finals and Makelele has played two. , I can guarantee that, looking at the entire world of football, there is no other coaching staff that has as much experience in the Champions League finals as we do.”

All the players present nodded silently, this was a true statement.

Star coaching team, this is a major feature of Paris Saint-Germain.

Gao Han and his coaching staff are a team that has worked together for many years and has a tacit understanding. Each one of them is a leader in the industry. Zidane and Makelele are both French superstars. This combination does have an extremely rich experience advantage.

"The reason why I say this is not to brag, but to tell you and make you believe that I am more familiar with and understand the Champions League final than any of you. As long as you listen to me and do what I ask, I promise At the end of the game you will leave Wembley with the St. Petersburg Cup in hand."

Gao Han's words were loud, sonorous, and extremely convincing.

If someone else had said this, the players would definitely be suspicious and discount him, and some might even have the opposite effect. But for Gao Han, they only have trust because Gao Han's past results are there.

After hearing what Gao Han said, every player had to admit it in his heart and convince himself.

Follow the coach's instructions and you can win the championship!

Because he is Gao Han!

"The final is a ninety-minute or even one-hundred-and-twenty-minute game. Compared with Barcelona, ​​we don't have the ball possession advantage, so we can't compete with the opponent for possession of the ball. This will fall into the opponent's trap, but this is not It means we will let the other party control us, which has never been our style, right?"

"Yes!" the players replied in unison.

It can be seen that they were all fully motivated by Gao Han.

Who doesn’t want to win the Champions League?

Taking one is enough to leave a mark in history, who wouldn’t be happy?

"We Chinese have an old saying, we should eat our meals one bite at a time, and we should play the game step by step."

Gao Han began to shift the topic to the game, "We have practiced targeted tactics for a long time, but it is obvious that we have not competed with a team of Barcelona's level. We have tested it with live ammunition, so our We need to be more patient in the first half.”

"The task I give you is very simple. The most important thing in the first half is to maintain the overall formation. As long as you maintain the overall formation and everyone gives their best, I believe it is not so easy for Barcelona to score goals. And even if unfortunately we were unlucky and the other team scored a goal, it doesn’t matter.”

"We need to maintain our formation, freeze Barcelona's offense, and suppress their possession of the ball before we can counterattack and attack. We must first establish ourselves in an invincible position, and then find ways to defeat our opponents."

The players also understand what Gao Han means.

Blindly attacking is a taboo, especially for a team like Paris Saint-Germain.

Although Barcelona is no longer at its peak, it is rich in experience and has the advantage of passing and controlling the ball. Even if Paris Saint-Germain has a greater chance of winning, it cannot withstand the defeat caused by tactical failures.

For a team like Paris Saint-Germain, which has been restructured for two years but whose tactical framework is not strict enough, facing Barcelona's pass-and-control style, the most important thing is to stabilize the formation and work step by step to defeat the opponent.

Once the formation is loose, Barcelona may catch the opportunity at any time, or even be doomed.

…………

…………

Gao Han and the coaching staff are extremely experienced, both at the technical and tactical level and in pre-game preparation.

Working backwards from the game time, when to eat and what to eat can allow players to face the game in the best condition. They all have a complete set of mature plans, and they can execute them with ease.

In the afternoon, according to the time scheduled by UEFA, the team boarded the bus and headed to Wembley Stadium.

Along the way, you can see everywhere that the whole of London is filled with a strong football atmosphere.

France and the United Kingdom are separated only by the English Channel. It can be clearly seen that there are more fans supporting Paris Saint-Germain on the street than Barcelona. Many French fans have also come to London to cheer for Paris Saint-Germain.

Gao Han is also very popular in the UK, so Paris Saint-Germain is slightly better than Barcelona in terms of the number of fans.

This situation became even more obvious after the team arrived at Wembley Stadium.

At least when Gao Han led the players off the bus, the shouts were overwhelming.

When the team entered the stadium for the last training session before the game, the voices of the Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stadium were obviously louder than those of the Barcelona fans.

What moved Gao Han even more was that one of the Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stands took out a huge photo of Gao Han and posted a slogan urging him to stay, hoping that he could stay in Paris Saint-Germain and continue to lead the team.

"Many people say that fans are ignorant, but in fact they are not. Their eyes are sharp." Zidane said with emotion, standing next to Gao Han.

Gao Han nodded.

Who says it's not?

Perhaps, fans may be deceived in a short period of time, but they will wake up sooner or later.

The same is true for the head coach and the same is true for the players.

Just like Zidane, many people still remember him, not because of how many championships he has won or how many honors he has won, but because of his performance in some key games, such as that extraordinary kick in the Champions League final.

That is the memory that Zidane has left to fans all over the world, and fans will still remember it even many years later.

The same situation applies to Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. They have all left an extremely deep impression on the fans, and they are destined to become memories that the fans will never forget.

This is the real superstar!

After the Barcelona players also entered the stadium, Gao Han went over to meet them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then greeted Vilanova's coaching staff for a while.

It's a life-and-death battle on the field, but off the field everyone is friends.

For this game, both sides are determined to win.

Barcelona has already won the La Liga championship. If Vilanova's team wins the Champions League final, he will become a double champion. This will undoubtedly be a huge boost for Vilanova who just took over the team. , and it can also establish his status as a famous European first-line coach in one fell swoop, soaring into the sky.

Paris Saint-Germain has also won the French Cup and French Ligue 1. As long as they win the Champions League, they will achieve the Triple Crown. This will also be the first Triple Crown in the history of French football. For everyone at Paris Saint-Germain, , is undoubtedly a great honor.

Gao Han also has to win this game. Once the situation goes bad, he will use his skill cards. The purpose is to ensure that the team wins, wins the Champions League, and completes the task of [Champion Collector].

He really wants to know what kind of rewards the coaching system will give after completing the task.

After a while of pleasantries, everyone returned to the coaching bench to prepare for the game.

Soon, the players all finished their training on the field and returned to the locker room to start the final preparations before the game.

After the players left the stadium, Wembley Stadium began to hold some performances to entertain the audience and fans, but the chilling atmosphere of the Champions League final that filled the air became even stronger.
