After closing the door to the locker room, the singing outside was still deafening. The attendance rate at the Bernabeu Stadium today will be very high.
It seems that everyone in Real Madrid is thinking about avenging their past humiliation. Li Ang thought this way.
Fernando Hierro, the captain of Sporting Gijon, was listening in the locker room. He heard a familiar song, which was the anthem of Real Madrid.
He closed his eyes, and it seemed like the ocean of white clothes was floating in front of him!
The stadium was shaking slightly with singing, booing, applause, and even the sound of stamping feet.
Li Ang was writing something on the tactical board. When he was doing this, the players were all talking in low voices, and no one dared to disturb him.
After a while, the jerseys that the players were going to wear were hung in their respective cabinets, and the clean sneakers and shin guards were neatly placed on the seats.
Just like soldiers who are about to go off to war, their armor has been polished and polished, and they are ready to put on their armor and rush to the battlefield at any time.
***********
Li Ang raised his head and looked at the players.
He did not rush to give a speech. He waited for everyone to finish what they were doing and when everyone raised their heads and looked at him, hoping that he would say something, he stood up and cleared his throat.
"Everyone knows how to play this game. We have practiced the tactics of this game many times, and I believe you all understand it. Therefore, I will not say too much about the technical and tactical aspects, only a few points.
I need to remind everyone here." Li Ang raised his right index finger, "First, we cannot let Real Madrid play according to the rhythm they are used to. The opponent is stronger than us. This is a fact and we do not need to avoid it. Therefore, we cannot let the game play at all.
Get into their rhythm. In the midfield, cut off their midfield, fight with them fiercely in the midfield, and let them fall into the swamp. You all know how to do it during training, so I won't talk nonsense here."
For this game and Real Madrid's luxurious midfield, Li Ang designed a midfield cut-off style for the team. In other words, the main thing is not to prevent a certain player's breakthrough, but to try to cut off Real Madrid's midfield and let several players play.
A key target cannot get the ball comfortably. This tactic is much more powerful in terms of proactive aggression and power than the tactic of just setting up a bus when facing a strong team.
But then again, this defensive model is not something ordinary teams can play. It requires strong personal abilities: strong physical fitness and running, excellent frontal interception and tracking back, and excellent defensive skills.
Fighting with bravery, strong psychological quality and strong tactical execution also require a perfect tactical system: integrity, organization, discipline, tacit understanding, and flexibility are all indispensable.
In fact, Li Ang is not sure whether his players can fulfill his tactical requirements well, but he dares to try and he is very courageous.
The team has been practicing this tactic these days, and at least the training effect is pretty good.
In fact, Li Ang's tactics cannot be said to be formulated for Real Madrid. Fundamentally speaking, his tactics have an imaginary enemy, an imaginary enemy in the future: the Barcelona team that later defeated the invincible opponents in Europe!
***********
"Two, be careful of Real Madrid's set kicks. Try not to give them free kicks near our penalty area. Carlos, if you commit a foul, stay away from the danger zone." Li Ang continued.
Carlos nodded.
Li Ang took a deep breath. He remembered that in last season's Copa del Rey final, he seemed to have told him to pay attention to set pieces. Are you a little nervous? No, this is excitement! The head coach of Sporting Gijon said to himself in his heart.
"Third, the defense must be careful not to give the opponent's forwards room to break through, especially Ronaldo. They must press at the right time!" At this point, Li Ang paused and said to Hierro, "Fernando
, you know today’s opponent best, and the command of the defense is up to you.”
Fernando Hierro, captain of Sporting Gijon, nodded without saying anything, with a serious expression.
"Four, we are playing defensive counterattack. We must be patient. We must be more patient than our opponents. Wait patiently for the opportunity to appear, and then seize it!" He clenched his fists.
"No matter what situation we face, even if we concede the goal at the beginning, even if they take a two-goal or even three-goal lead in a short period of time... we must stay calm, don't panic, and don't be discouraged.
We were able to come back and defeat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final last season. This time, we are not afraid even if we face no matter how difficult the situation is, because we are stronger than last season." Li Ang looked at the players and saw that some of them had solemn expressions.
, he added, "Of course, this is the worst case scenario. In fact, I don't think we will encounter it."
Then, Li Ang looked around everyone and said with a serious expression, "Last point, stay confident and fight until the last second!"
"Keep your confidence and fight until the last second!"
"Keep your confidence and fight until the last second!"
Li Ang said it three times in a row, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
Li Ang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Say important things three times!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
***********
After everyone finished laughing, Li Ang continued: "Okay, now that we've finished talking about things on the court, let's talk."
Everyone looked at him.
"The words I said when we were at the airport, I know you have been talking about them for the past two days, do you think I am a little arrogant? You shouldn't have said those words?"
Some nodded, some shook their heads, and some did not express anything.
"Do you think I was so angry that I was so angry that I spoke indiscriminately?"
"Of course not!" Li Ang suddenly raised his voice, "I am very angry, very angry! But, I am definitely not dizzy!"
"As for why I am so angry, you should also know. Look at what the people of Madrid think of this game? They want revenge, they want avengement, they say they want to beat us, and even five to zero is not enough. They want six to six.
Zero, seven to zero!”
"Ha, why do they say that?"
"Yes, Real Madrid is powerful and they are a wealthy club, but is this the reason why they look down on us?"
"They humiliate us so much, look down on us, and they want us to respect them. What does this mean? They want us to go out one by one, face the microphone, pay respect to Real Madrid, and then say, little girl is scared, please
Abuse?!" Li Ang finally screamed and imitated girls' speech. Some people wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh. At the same time, there was an emotion aroused deep in their hearts. What the people of Madrid do, isn't it?
Is it like what the head coach said?!
"Shit!" Li Ang spat on the ground. His mouth was dry because of his excitement. "Their strength is no reason for us to grovel!"
"Actually, we still have something to say. Our defeated opponent had the championship trophy taken away from our home. Is it our fault?!" Li Ang said in a ruthless tone.
"Remember, those are our defeated generals. We have no awe or fear towards them. Don't be polite! We will put in all our efforts and sweat to defeat them! Kill them! Use the most cautious attitude and the most powerful force.
Treat this game, this stage, the Bernabeu with a passionate attitude, we are here again, if we can beat them once, we can win a second time, let those who clamor for revenge, let those who look down on us, insult us
Our people, shut up!"
Everyone's enthusiasm is ignited, everyone's emotions are ignited!
***********
Hierro sat there and looked at his teammates around him. Everyone had red eyes and shortness of breath. Obviously, they were all fully stimulated by the head coach's words.
Although the head coach's words are somewhat rude to Real Madrid, Hierro has to admit that the head coach's words are very effective. This is why Hierro admires this head coach who is even younger than him.
One thing is that he can always use the most passionate words to arouse the emotions of the players, and even sometimes, without using any passionate words, just a simple action or a plain sentence can stimulate the whole team.
Call!
This man has the makings of a great head coach!
Li Ang raised his hand for the last time and pointed to the door, "Real Madrid is waiting for us. I think they are a little impatient."
Assistant coach Banderas looked at his watch. Due to Li Ang's speech, the time was already late. According to normal circumstances, at this time, both teams should line up in the corridor waiting to play. He thought Li Ang had forgotten the time, but he didn't expect him
It's completely clear... It seems that he deliberately made Real Madrid wait a little longer.
The players burst into laughter. They now trust this person extremely. Every word and every action of this person will make them feel extra at ease and motivated.
This is a very interesting situation. Li Ang is not the kind of super coach who has won many championship trophies and has countless auras, which makes the players extremely respectful and convinced of his qualifications. Li Ang only has one Spanish King's Cup championship trophy in his hand now.
That's all, his qualifications are very low, but he did it. His language and body language are all sending signals to the players: Go ahead and fight, I am optimistic about you, victory is in our hands!
The players can also receive this signal, as if there is a psychological suggestion, constantly telling them: "The coach is right, we will definitely win, we will definitely win!"
To be honest, such a team can be said to be a team led by head coach Li Ang. If he suddenly loses confidence, it is probably as if the team has been hit by a nuclear attack and has lost its fighting spirit. Fortunately, Li Ang
We won't let that happen.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, the players' emotions have been aroused, and it's time for the final mobilization.
Li Ang took a deep breath and raised his hands, "Let us conquer the Bernabeu - let those sky-high superstars cry again!!!"
"Let's conquer the Bernabeu - let those sky-high-priced superstars cry!!!" In the locker room, not only the players but also the members of the coaching staff roared with him.
"Kill them!" Li Ang shouted!
"Kill them!" everyone yelled crazily!
Everyone has the mentality of hating the rich. In the last sentence, Li Ang mentioned the opponent's sky-high-priced stars, which made the boys even more excited. They seemed to be eager to see the Galaxy Superstars look frustrated after losing!
This picture made them extremely happy!
Now, they are going to fight and realize this picture!
Then, with Li Ang's wave, the excited boys opened the door of the locker room and rushed out.
