Chapter 245 Get the limelight back from the World Cup
"Top Muller's usual formation is 4-5-1... This is similar to ours, especially in the midfield, there is Ramilao who is purely defensive, Ballack who is flexible in his position and good at attacking and defending, and an organizational player who is weak in confrontation. Basturk at one point, and Ze Roberto and Schneider on the wings, but their core is Ballack instead of Basturk. This German's performance this season is incredible. He is Germany's current The best player."
Dick said to all the coaches in the tactical meeting.
One coach couldn't help but snort: "In Germany now... the best players are only average in terms of gold content."
Hearing this, Dick looked up at the coach until he began to have an uneasy expression on his face and then said: "Don't forget, they also entered the Champions League! The performance of the German national team in the past two years Although it is not good, it is just because they are in a dilemma! Ballack is the best among this group of German players. We must not underestimate him! I even dare to say that even in the World Cup in the summer, With his condition, he can still become the most eye-catching person in the World Cup!"
Dick's words were very serious, but they also made Atletico Madrid's coaches begin to pay attention to Ballack - Dick rarely praised a certain player like this, but when he started to praise the opponent's players, it proved that This player is indeed outstanding, truly formidable, truly top-notch...
The reason why Dick said this is that he didn't want the coaches' emotions to infect the players, causing them to unknowingly underestimate their opponents - the team is a relatively closed environment, and the coaches spend almost all day with the players. We are together, and if they underestimate the players, then the players will naturally underestimate their opponents. This is a normal thing. The emotions between people will be infected by each other.
Only if the coaches also pay attention to it, the players will not be too disturbed.
"Their two central defenders are very good. Nowotny is a typical German central defender. He is tall, good at heading the ball, and fierce in confrontation, but turning is a problem. However, Lucio can make up for the opponent's weakness very well. Flaws, but his shortcomings are that he likes to attack forward and is sometimes rash. These two points are what we can take advantage of. Seibetsin is injured and may not be able to support it for long, but the right wing he guards is more difficult to deal with. In fact, we can play more on their left wing. Although Placent is a player with good ability and is very promising, after all, he is still young and inexperienced, and he also has his own shortcomings. This place will It’s a good place for us to open up a gap.”
"Leverkusen will not give up their advantage, which is running and confrontation. They will not use any defensive counterattacks to deal with us, because our midfield defense is also very good, although their forward Neuville is a He is a technically agile player, but he is not enough to break through our gate. I think if they want to attack, they can only have more chances to score goals by pressing in the midfield and trying their best to steal the ball from the midfield and then launch a fast break. At the same time, set-pieces will also be one of their trump cards. Don’t forget how we were bullied by Liverpool in the final last year with high-altitude balls... Leverkusen players are all very tall, so we must be careful about this. However, Fortunately, we now have Stam, and with him partnering with Thuram, and with the back-defense in the midfield, we have made up for a lot of this shortcoming."
The coaches nodded at the same time. Dick's signing before the start of this season is very important. Although Stam was injured and missed more than half of the season, his experience and ability to defend against high-altitude balls can play a great role.
A big role, especially in such a final, even if it is a waste to use high salary and high transfer fee to introduce him and only play for less than half a season, however, just in the Champions League final, Atletico Madrid will not sacrifice for the opponent.
It is enough to have a headache due to his height advantage. And Jorgensen played a very important role in the rotation, and some of his performances also made great contributions to Atletico Madrid winning the league championship. As for Haji...
He basically appeared as a substitute, and Dick didn't put much hope in him.
"What we have to do on defense is actually what we have to do on offense. We must take advantage of our skillful passing and coordination in the midfield, and don't give them any chance to steal the ball in the midfield, and don't give them any chance to intercept the ball in the midfield.
Too many opportunities to get set pieces! Apart from these two points, Leverkusen’s offensive ability is not particularly outstanding, for us.”
"In terms of offense, one thing is to control the midfield, and the other thing is to play fast at critical moments! The German team's overall defense speed is slower, and the same is true for Leverkusen. We just need to seize the opportunity and play more behind them.
, you can score more goals! This is also a tactic we often use. Even if Top Muller can guess that we will use such tactics, they have nothing to do because they can't make Nowotny become
Faster, so that Lucio will no longer make mistakes! As long as we grasp these two points, our victory is not hopeless, do you understand?"
After the coaches nodded one after another, Dick waved his hand, and the content of the subsequent training was left to the coaches. Dick only needed to figure out how to win the game.
In fact, Dick is still very confident about winning this game. He still has three goal cards in hand. Although he has used a lot before, some were wasted, and some have played a role, but at this time
The players are all in good condition. Even if some are wasted, there will still be cards that can play a role. Historically, Leverkusen only scored one goal in the final. In other words, as long as there are three goal cards.
If two of them are effective, you will definitely win this game!
However, Dick is not completely reassured about this game because of this. After all, history has changed - Zidane's extraordinary goal in the final appeared in the semi-final. Who can be sure that Leverku will win in the final?
Will Sen suddenly go crazy and score three or four goals?
Now Dick somewhat understands the beauty of the goal card. The good news is that after the revision, the role of the goal card is not so obvious. It can only be combined with the status of his players and the team's tactical layout.
Only goal cards can play a greater role, forcing Dick to continue to improve and learn - in fact, even without that revision, there are only fifteen goal cards in a season, and there will be no splash if you scatter them.
No, if Dick was a guy who knew nothing, how could he have gotten to where he is today just by relying on goal cards?
To be honest, after becoming a shareholder of Atletico Madrid next season, Dick doesn't really want to use props like goal cards, because this kind of prop feels a bit useless to him now. If he uses it, the effect may not be that obvious.
,No need, it would be a pity...
But of course, next season is next season, and it should be used now, and it still needs to be used - at least in such a final, the effect of the goal card is still very obvious, at least it can allow Dick to coach the team
In the process, you will have more confidence and more confidence.
Time passed day by day, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Champions League. Even if most of the teams participating in the World Cup had begun to gather, they could not interfere with this sight.
Before the game started, there seemed to be more good news for Atletico Madrid.
Thuram and Makelele have both been selected for the French national team, and basically they can become the main players. Molina, Vicente, Baraja and Belleron have also been selected for the Spanish national team, and Cruz and Camo have also been selected for the Spanish national team.
Ranesi was selected for the Argentine national team - although Camoranesi had almost no experience with the Argentine national team before, his ability to attack and defend in the past two years at Atletico Madrid made Bielsa feel
I appreciate that, at least, as Zanetti's substitute and the substitute on the right wing of the midfielder in 3313, Camoranesi is still very reassuring.
It is not uncommon for Jorgensen to be selected for the Danish national team. He has always been a regular player for the Danish national team. Another piece of news makes Jardel ecstatic - although he has been blocked from the national team in the qualifiers of the national team.
In addition, in this World Cup squad, coach Scolari announced the name of Jardel! Although he will not be the main force, because the main strikers of the national team are Rivaldo and Ronaldo, as long as he can
A trip to the World Cup is enough to make Jardel feel infinitely satisfied!
After each national team announced the roster of players, Atletico Madrid's training ground was filled with congratulations. After all, participating in the World Cup, how many times can a player have such an opportunity in his life? The only one who is depressed is Stam, the Netherlands national team
The surprising failure to qualify for the World Cup finals also cost Stam the chance to participate in the World Cup for the second time.
He is just depressed, but Stam is more tolerant. After all, he participated in a World Cup four years ago. Although it is a pity to miss this time, it will not make him so sad that he is about to die.
Equally depressing are Atletico Madrid's two full-backs. Although they performed very well, they were not selected for the Spanish national team's squad because their competitors were not bad either, with Real Madrid's Salgado on the right.
, with Barcelona’s Sergi on the left, plus substitute Juanfran and others, they really have no chance, and the Spanish national team has a tradition of balancing the power of major teams. Atletico Madrid already has four international players.
It is unlikely that the two full-backs who have no obvious strength advantage will be allowed to enter the national team again. You know, the Spanish national team began to use Barcelona as the core and Real Madrid players as the auxiliary. Other teams that do not match the strength, no matter you are Basque
The practice of not allowing anyone else to enter the national team only appeared after Aragones took charge, and this practice laid a good foundation for Spain's dominance.
"Okay, guys, everything you have gained is earned by you, because in the past one or two years, your performance has been very good! That's why you have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup... Those who are not selected are also
Don't be discouraged, you were not selected, not because you are not good enough, but because those coaches have no vision... Of course, Jiapi, you are unlucky, so I won't comfort you."
There was a burst of laughter on the training ground, and Stam shook his head depressedly. Dick waved his hand in high spirits, and then said loudly: "Okay, guys, start preparing now, the last few minutes before the World Cup starts."
Let’s have a big show!”
At this point, he paused, and then said word for word: "Next, we will make the fans talk about this final after the World Cup starts, and steal the limelight from the World Cup!"
