Chapter 257: Barcelona and Naples (Second Update, Monthly Pass!) )

The team returned to their locker room after the warm-up, and at this time, the TV station had begun to officially broadcast the game, analyzing the starting lists of both sides and analyzing the state of the main players on both sides......

The starting line-ups for both sides have been announced, and now everyone knows the starting line-up (). Not much has changed for either team.

Barcelona is 433, goalkeeper Valdés, central defenders Pique and Mascherano, full-backs Abidal and Alves, midfielders Butzquez, Iniesta and Xavi, and Villa, Messi and Pedro up front.

Except for Puyol, who did not appear in the starting lineup due to a minor injury, Pep Guardiola sent his strongest team.

On the Napoli side, Mazzari also sent out 433, goalkeeper De Sanctis, central defender Paulo. Cannavaro and Ranocchia, full-backs Kristo and Maggio, midfielders Frenkie de Jong, Hamsik and Sanchez, strikers Arshavin, Chen Yingying and Cassano.

It was Cassano's first start in the Champions League this season, with Raul on the bench, and Mazzarri valued Raul's experience, but he preferred to let the energetic Cassano come on the pitch to make a splash and wait until the second half of the game to consider bringing on Raul and using his experience to find shots. Raul's stamina is an issue, and with him coming off the bench, stamina will not be a problem.

Experts from all walks of life have done their best to analyze the starting lineups of both sides, and they can give you an analysis of the simple eleven people.

In fact, the formation is just something written on paper, and when it comes to the game, how can the formation be so fixed, saying that it is 433, it is really always 433? Football matches are changing in motion, and the formation cannot be static, depending on the change of the game situation, according to the time of the game, the formation is also constantly changing (). 433 can become 343, it can become 352, it can also become 442, and it is pointless to discuss whether 433 or 343 is better in formation.

In the dressing room, neither coaches had the option to discuss the other's line-up at this time.

Because there's really nothing to discuss. Barcelona is a thunderous 433, Napoli since Mazzari came to power, began to adhere to the 433 route, as for what players the other side will send to play this game, it is basically fixed, how to rotate Barcelona's lineup, their backbone will not be changed, it is easy to know which people are the core players, which people are rotation players, in a game like the Champions League final, of course, the main force must be exhausted, so it is easy to guess what players Barcelona can send.

It's easier for Napoli, there is still a gap between the quality of their main players and the bench players, and it is no secret that their starting eleven is not a secret. Rotation is also extremely limited.

The opponent's tactics have also been thoroughly studied, and each player should and should not do what he should and should not do on the field, these things have been told to the players a long time ago, and they have to be practiced according to these requirements in training. It was impossible for the game to start with 20 minutes to go, and the manager told the players slowly: "Today, let's play defensive counter-attack......

It's fun. What tactics to play in a game have long been reflected in the usual training, not to mention the Champions League final, which everyone has been preparing for for a long time. Tactics are definitely not something that a head coach came up with at night by looking at the stars at night and thinking of a brain, it was the entire coaching staff through the analysis of the opponent, and it was the crystallization of collective wisdom. It's just that it's obviously more convenient to promote one person than a group of people when the public knows, so a lot of the time tactics seem to be just a matter for the manager alone.

So in the dressing room when the game is about to start, the managers don't talk about tactics, they don't talk about the lineup, what do they talk about?

These ten minutes are the time for the masters of eloquence to show their stunts, the time for the psychologist to regulate the emotions of the players, and the moment for the head coach to turn decay into magic.

"In 10 minutes, maybe 10 minutes, the most important game of our lives will begin...... Maybe we will encounter this scenario often in the future, but for now, it is the most important game of our lives. 'In the dressing room in Napoli, Mazzari was speaking to the players.

"I've noticed that there's a lot of noise out there these days, and they've put a lot of bad hats on us. But it's not a big deal, you have to know why we are the only ones in world football who are treated like this. "Pep Guardiola has a calm face." Because we're the best team on the planet. The best teams deserve to be slandered and attacked by their enemies. The harder they shouted, the more they feared we. If we lose our normalcy because of this, we fall into their trap. ”

"Our opponents are strong, very strong, and some say they are Team Cosmos. I agree with this and say that Barcelona play football that does not exist on the planet. Mazari said. In recent years, they have won a lot of championships, as if the whole planet can't stop them. You know, Napoli likes to do this kind of difficult thing......"

※※※

"Barcelona never compares themselves to others and never cares about what other people have to say. All we have to do is play our own football, which we have been playing for more than 20 years. Many people think that Barcelona was taken care of by the referee and was able to win so many titles for some inconvenient reason. They didn't know that we had been playing like this for a long time, and even if we didn't win a single title at that time, we didn't give up. So today's result is what we deserve and what FC Barcelona deserves. The current title is just a compensatory and proof of our belation......" said Pep Guardiola, a fact that Barcelona people are particularly proud of, but still calm. He's not humble, he's proud to the core, and that's the real highest level of pride—what you think is great, it's normal for me.

※※※

"We almost threw them off the altar, but we failed, not at their feet, but at the hands of another adversary. Barcelona are stronger now than they were before, or at least it seems...... But we are not afraid of him, they should be afraid! Mazari accentuated. Because if it weren't for the help of another black hand, they would have been dragged into the mud by us a long time ago! ”

※※※

"Unlike those good footballs, Barcelona can win the championship if they play as much football as they like. Others, when they want to win a championship, they tend to throw away a lot of the things that they have been holding on to, they are forced to defend, they are forced to foul, they are forced to leave behind their former noble stature, and they jump into the mud and roll around like a barbarian, with a muddy face. We don't need it, we just have to keep playing Barcelona football and we can get everything. Because Barcelona is never changed by the world, Barcelona only changes the world. Pep Guardiola is still calm, but the hearts of the Barcelona players below are filled with pride and confidence, and they all hold their heads high, like real aristocrats, looking down on everyone.

※※※

The Napoli players were thrilled by Mazzali's words, and many simply clenched their fists and trembled slightly.

Nervous?

Hell, it's exciting!

"They consider themselves to be high aristocrats, they play artistic football that is praised all over the world, they are like spotless gods, they don't eat the fireworks of the world. But last season, we almost let them out! So they are not gods at all! If we want to defeat them, we must first strip off their disguises and drag them into the mud! When they lose face and can only roll in the mud like us, they lose! Because they will be afraid, they will panic, and they will be horrified to find that their own set of things will not work for us at all! ”

Mazari roared loudly, mobilizing everyone's emotions.

※※※

"No matter what tactics the opponent will use against us, you remember, as long as we still play our football, no team in this world can stop us from winning this championship ()!" Speaking of which, Guardiola's tone has changed somewhat. He finally showed his desire for a championship. Although in his first season in charge of Barcelona's first team, he won an unprecedented six crowns. But the desire for the championship in his heart has not diminished in the slightest.

He knows very well that Barcelona can only truly dominate the world if the whole team is kept hungry like this.

With him finished, there was no bloody declaration and rant in the dressing room, and the Barcelona players looked at the manager with a determined and confident expression.

They were convinced that it would be absolutely impossible for Napoli to stop them! Although they came close to losing to Napoli in the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League, they came close to losing and Barcelona actually won both games.

Besides, can the Champions League final be compared to the Champions League quarter-finals?

※※※

"Whether it's defending or attacking, be fierce and aggressive! Put pressure on them from any angle! Don't be afraid of fouls, don't be afraid of cards, as long as you can make them scared, we've already won half the way! Go, guys, this is the best stage, this is the best opportunity, to tell the world with practical actions - even if you are all afraid of them, we are not afraid of Naples!! ”

Before the words fell, there was a "bang", and Chen Yingying, who was enthusiastic as the head coach said, stood up, and he also knocked over the chair behind him.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth and simply yelled.

As if this is the only way to vent the emotions stirring in the chest.

Influenced by him, the rest of his teammates all raised their heads and roared.

For a moment, in the dressing room of Naples, it was like a group of wild beasts had appeared.
