That is May 26, the day of the Champions League final.
In the morning, after Pan Yi got up, he watched the video of yesterday's press conference in the hotel room.
I won’t watch Allegri’s speech. It basically conveys the same meaning to the outside world: Milan will definitely win the championship.
Pan Yi mainly wanted to see what Heynckes had to say.
Although the head coach usually performs Tai Chi with reporters at press conferences, some clues can still be analyzed from some words.
"I don't think Bayern has had a losing season."
"Although the two runners-up are a bit uncomfortable, the performance of the boys is still very good."
"As long as we win tomorrow's game, then our season will be perfect."
Heynckes has always been expressionless, making it difficult to see what's going on in his heart.
"Our opponent? Milan is obviously a very strong team. They put many talented young people into the lineup at the beginning of the season, but the coaching staff trained them very well."
"I have watched a lot of their games. Milan's tactics are very entertaining and sometimes very pragmatic. This also shows that their coaching ability is very strong and also very cunning."
"Of course I will make some targeted adjustments to them. Their game rhythm is controlled very well, their counterattacks are deadly, and their offense and defense transition is very fast. We must limit them."
"Are we actually playing at home? Thank God, the fans will give us the greatest support and help us win the game."
"For the sake of the fans, we will also form the strongest lineup and defeat them in the finals!"
……
After the meal, Pan Yi, together with Allegri and Tassotti, called the players together for a final pre-match tactical discussion.
In the past week, the team has conducted training based on Bayern's characteristics according to the requirements of the coaching staff.
Including how to defend, how to attack, how to kick set kicks, and how to respond to changes on the court, etc. These tactics that really fall into the details have been practiced repeatedly in training.
But before the game, the coaching staff will still reiterate some key points with the players to deepen their impression and implement them more strictly.
This is a bit like reviewing one or two days before an important exam, which is often the most important content.
"Based on what Heynckes said at the press conference and their last few games in the league, he should still use the 4231 formation and fight us offensively."
After Allegri finished his speech, Pan Yi began to stand in front of the tactical board, placing chess pieces and talking:
"Goalkeeper Neuer, left back Alaba, center back Badstuber and Boateng, right back Lahm... there will definitely be no changes in this defense."
With that said, Pan Yi pointed at the little Boateng's chess piece and said to the big Boateng with a smile: "In the face of your brother, you must not show mercy."
Boateng curled his lips: "Don't worry, I've been grabbing his lollipops since he was a child, and he doesn't even dare to fart!"
Everyone also laughed.
Milan's big Boateng is called Kevin Prince Boateng, while Bayern's one is Jerome Boateng.
They are brothers, but the elder Boateng plays as a midfielder and chooses to play for the Ghana national team, while the younger Boateng plays as a central defender and plays for the German national team.
Pan Yi continued: "The double midfielders are usually Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger, but sometimes Gustavo is also used. The difference is that Toni Kroos is better offensively, and Gustavo
Tavo is more defensive."
"On the offensive line, there are two wingers, Ribery and Robben, plus a shadow forward Thomas Muller and a center Mario Gomez. That's basically it."
I have to say that Bayern’s lineup is really strong.
Especially in the midfield and frontcourt, these stars can really scare people to death if they move there.
"Their playing style is similar to ours. I have already analyzed it in the previous tactical meeting, so I won't go into details here."
"But I still want to point out that the focus of our defense must still be on the two wingers Ribery and Robben."
With that said, Pan Yi glanced at Salah and Mane:
"Everyone knows the breakthrough ability of our team's wingers, and we also understand the consequences if the opponent fails to guard against them."
"But what I want to say is that Ribery and Robben's abilities may be even stronger!"
"They are also more experienced and better at catching the gaps in our defensive formation and tearing them apart without mercy!"
"So, you all need to pay close attention, maintain a compact and careful formation, and reduce their space for movement."
"I showed you the video of the first game against Barcelona in the group stage. I recalled that feeling and locked them in!"
Everyone nodded.
In fact, in the past few days, the coaching staff has been emphasizing on guarding against Bayern's world-famous "Roberg" combination.
They are all good at dribbling the ball from the wing and cutting inside, so the full-backs, including the three midfielders, need to cooperate sincerely to contain them.
Specifically, as soon as they get the ball, at least two players must surround them to prevent them from posing a threat.
At the same time, the surrounding players will also pay attention to cutting off their passing lines.
"Also, you must not ignore Thomas Muller."
"He may not take the initiative to control the ball, but he often appears in the most dangerous places."
"It can even be said that he is the most powerful opportunist I have ever seen after Inzaghi of our team."
Next, Pan Yi spent a lot of time emphasizing his defense against Muller.
This guy is definitely an alternative in today's world football.
Known as the "second child" in the Dragon Kingdom, he usually likes to do things, but on the court he is an all-rounder in the frontcourt.
He has played as a right winger, center forward, shadow forward, attacking midfielder, and left winger, and he has played well in all of them.
His technique does not seem to be that delicate, but his super reaction speed, comprehensive shooting skills, super high scoring efficiency, high fighting spirit, and excellent sense of movement make him the world's top forward. p>
Therefore, Pan Yi believes that in order to prevent Bayern's offense, in addition to containing Robbery's raids from both sides, it is also very critical to limit Muller's movement.
And this burden is mainly placed on Kanter's shoulders.
Of course, Pan Yi is very confident in Kanter.
He has completed almost all the tasks assigned to him by the coaching staff!
After the coaching staff finally repeated all the tactics and details that needed to be paid attention to in tonight's game, everyone gathered together again and roared together:
"Milan must win!"
"Must win! Must win! Must win!..."
This is more than just a pre-match slogan.
More importantly, everyone saw two things in each other's eyes at this time:
