498 Surprise

[My heart set sail, book club] YY52448, welcome to the bar friends to reside, recruitment management. There's also a great job to record audio novels!

Juventus' Vinovo training base is located 14 kilometres southwest of Turin, an ancient Italian town with a history of nearly 2,000 years.

At the gate of the base, in front of the message wall with countless fans' voices, a lot of Juventus fans gathered in groups, although there was still a long time before the start of training, they were here early, waiting in the railing, waiting for the arrival of the players.

According to the usual custom, the players would park their cars and come here to take photos and sign autographs with the fans.

Don't look at Turin, Rome and even the whole of Italy, there are often fans who make trouble, but in fact, any team will have such fans who like to make trouble, and even football hooligans, but more than that, it is these fans who abide by the rules and really like football, and many of them spend their lives loyal to a team.

Many fans consciously stood behind the railing, looking up, and Capello's office could be seen from afar, and the Italian was standing in front of the window at this moment, facing the gate of the base, but it was too far away to see his expression clearly.

Behind Capello, there was a group of other coaches sitting in the coach's room, who were actively discussing last night's game.

Cardiff Millennium Stadium, Liverpool cleanly beat Manchester United 3:1, as an upcoming opponent, Juventus naturally will not take it lightly, Capello and two right-hand men rushed to Cardiff to watch the game in person.

'One thing we have to note is that Liverpool had a long time after Gerrard went off and they completely lost control of the tempo and Carrick was being watched by Manchester United!

Among all the coaching staff, there was a gray-haired old man, slightly fat, with a mustache and a pair of reading glasses, but his expression was very excited, especially when he spoke, his hands kept knocking on the table, with his own tone, which made everyone present listen carefully.

His name is Italo Gabiati, and he was once the head coach of AC Milan and a senior that Capello respects very much.

The 33-year-old Capello took charge for the first time in charge of AC Milan's Under-17 team, and the head coach of the Under-19 team above him at the time was Italo Gabiati, who was only nine years older than Capello, but he was a close friend of Capello's father, and he also gave Capello a lot of help when Capello was in charge of the Under-17s.

Gabiati has served as AC Milan's firefighting head coach three times, and has also served as an assistant to major coaches for a long time, until Capello took charge of AC Milan, he officially became Capello's assistant, and since then they have never separated again, the two can be described as a golden partner.

Italo Gabiati has a lot of tactical knowledge, and he is good at training, he is good at setting up targeted tactics, and what is even more valuable is that he is the lubricant between Capello and the players, unlike the serious Capello, he is the kind of player who is always wiping his butt for Capello.

But one thing is for sure, he will always be the second role in Capello's coaching staff after Capello, and even Giancario Corradini, Maradona's former team-mate, has not been able to shake his status and his place in Capello's heart when he joins his coaching staff.

Of course, football is a place where strength is important, and Gabiati has enough quality to ensure his position.

At least his simple and concise analysis of Liverpool pointed out Liverpool's problems to the point.

"Yang Cheng has always been a coach who pays attention to controlling the rhythm, he doesn't think about the change of the opponent's rhythm, he cares about whether he can control the rhythm, so what we have to do is not let him control the rhythm as he wants."

Speaking of this, Italo Gabiati smiled, "Gerrard is like a balanced link in the Liverpool midfield, when the team needs to attack, he can go forward, give offensive support, and even he can join the attacking queue himself, but when the team needs to defend, he can also go back and provide protection for the defensive end." ”,

"In the absence of Steven Gerrard, as long as you separate Carrick and Davies, Liverpool's midfield will be chaotic, and although Carrick is very good at passing, he is afraid of pressing and lacks the ability to protect himself enough, which is his biggest problem."

Hearing Gabiati's analysis, everyone present immediately grasped some ideas.

"Then we're not going to push the line forward?" Corradini next to him asked with a frown.

Capello didn't know when he turned around, came to the desk, and nodded: "Yes, just press forward!" ”

Gabiati on the side nodded and said with a smile: "Surprise!" ”

The two old partners looked at each other and smiled, an indescribable tacit understanding.

"Yang Cheng knows me very well, and even the whole world thinks that I must defend, and I don't deny it, playing offense, I am not as good as Yang Cheng, but at the beginning of this game, I have to press forward as a whole, attack desperately, and use offense to suppress Liverpool, and it is best to be able to break through the opponent's goal within the first five minutes."

"Five minutes?" The members of the coaching staff were a little chilled, which was too demanding.

You know, Liverpool's defense is not a random patchwork, even if it is a random patchwork, to ensure that the goal is scored within 5 minutes, no one dares to pack a ticket.

"If it were someone else, I dare to say 10 minutes, but Yang Cheng's reaction and targeted adjustment were too fast, it could only be 5 minutes, and if we couldn't take it down, we had to stabilize!"

Gabiati nodded and further analyzed: "The sudden attack at the beginning is to surprise it, and Liverpool's start must have been carefully prepared, but they may not be sure that we dare to play in the opening game, because they have to worry about age and experience, what to do if the pace can't slow down, so our sudden attack will disrupt their original plan to some extent." ”

But for some important games, or this kind of Champions League final, almost how to play at the beginning, the coaching staff will arrange it well, such as how to cooperate with the first few attacks, which area to focus on, who to focus on in defense, etc., in short, the beginning must be arranged properly.

Once the start is disrupted, then the head coach can only quickly adjust, and once it is adjusted, it will take time, and it is easy to be passive.

'Once you're settled, it's important to separate Davies and Carrick and I need all our players to be involved in pressing, especially in midfield, and not linking Davies and Carrick. Capello takes this very seriously.

Without midfield, Liverpool's attack lost its powder magazine, although there was a cannon, there was no "sail without watermark" medicine, how to fight?

"You also have to pay attention to the defense of the wings in the game!" Gabiati reminded.

Capello nodded, "Yes, the wings must be defended, Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben are very good wing attackers, the most important task of Zebina and Panucci is to keep an eye on these two wings, and not let them play from the wings!" ”

Juventus' backline is really strong and will not lose to Inter Milan, especially under the tutelage of Capello, purely from the point of view of defense, it can really be said to be perfect, that is, the offensive ability is almost good, but their defense is enough to make any opponent feel broken.

If you have to find a hole in this near-perfect defensive line, it may be the header.

Cannavaro is limited in height, and Thuram's header is relatively average, after all, the French have played right-back before, and the central defenders composed of these two are indeed very good, but the problem is that they are more or less powerless in the face of high balls, but in this game, Liverpool's center forward is the tall Ivory Coast elephant king Drogba.

Since I don't have a high air advantage, I can only make a fuss by freezing the opponent's wide crosses.

"But if we put too much emphasis on pressing the whole court, it's likely to cause us to deplete too quickly." Corradini said with a frown.

Liverpool's attack emphasizes mobility, which means that there is a lot of movement between their players and a lot of passing and receiving combinations, and if Juventus are to press and press in an all-round way, it will have to pay more than them, which is a big test of Juventus' fitness.

In the schedule, Juventus will play Livorno away on the 20th, and on the 29th at home to Jamliari, behind them, Inter Milan has been chasing the Bianconeri, as long as one is not careful, it may be overturned, that is, in a week, Juventus must go all out in these three games. ,

On the other hand, Liverpool played the FA Cup final on the 21st, and then they began to prepare for the Champions League final, and they did not have any worries, so in the schedule, Liverpool undoubtedly occupies a certain advantage, but relatively speaking, the advantage is not very big.

"As long as we finish this game in the first half, there will be no fitness problems!" Capello looked incredibly confident.

The outside estimate for this game is a victory of about 1 goal, that is, whoever scores first is likely to end the game early, especially Juventus, Capello is a typical 1:0 doctrine.

As long as he scores first, there is no doubt that he will play an extremely resolute defensive counterattack, and he will not hesitate to put on a bucket formation to greet you, as long as he can win this game in the end, he doesn't care what way he goes.

Hearing Capello say this, the assistants suddenly had no opinion.

Next, Capello and Gabiati got together with the members of the coaching staff to discuss the attack in the first five minutes of the game, and they even analysed the possible scenes in the game, studying how Juventus should pass the ball, how to advance, who will be responsible for the last pass, who will be responsible for the final moments, where to be and so on.

Very, very detailed, it was clear that in Capello's eyes, just one goal was enough to crush Liverpool.

…………

…………

Liverpool did not celebrate after playing the FA Cup final, on the contrary, even the city tour "Set sail without watermark" was rejected by Yang Cheng, and the team returned to Liverpool in a low-key manner, and continued the team's closed training in a low-key manner.

The whole world is hyping Yang Cheng's arrangement in this game, and the media all over the world are giving advice to Yang Cheng.

Without exception, most people feel that it will be difficult for Liverpool to do well in Istanbul because they are facing Juventus this time, and Liverpool are inferior to Juventus in every way.

The only chance of winning is that Liverpool have a manager who has won all the games in the Champions League final.

After a day and a half of closed training in Melwood, that is, on the morning of the 23rd, Liverpool quietly took a plane to Istanbul, Turkey.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Liverpool fans were even crazier than the team, many of whom had already arrived in Istanbul early to take on the team's rush to take up the lead and step on the team's feet, while at the same time, according to their respective sources, were waiting at Ataturk Airport early.

Yes, the name of the Ataturk Stadium, which will host the Champions League final, is the same as that of Ataturk Airport.

Atatuk means the father of Turkey in Turkish, and it is not only the stadium and airport, but also many of Turkey's characteristic buildings, including museums.

"Hey, Caesar!"

"Good luck, Caesar!"

"You must win, Caesar!"

When Yang Cheng slowly walked out of the waiting hall with the team, there were already many Liverpool fans gathered outside the gate, they did not have the slightest chaos, but kept the order, that is, when they saw the team come out, the scene was a little chaotic, but the scene was well maintained by the security guards.

Yang Cheng waved his hand at the fans, and many people gave him a thumbs up.

Regardless of whether this final is won or lost, Yang Cheng is the best in their minds.

It will take at least two years to bring Liverpool from a team that missed the Champions League to the current Premier League championship and reach the Champions League final.

Now, who else dares to say that Yang Cheng will only lead a strong team?

"Good luck with you, too!" Yang Cheng gave a thumbs up in response.

The fans at the scene suddenly stirred, and Caesar's shouts were endless.

There is no doubt that today's professional football is actually the most dazzling football star and is sought after by the most people, because it is this star effect that creates the attention of football, but Yang Cheng is an accident, he can be said to be a wonder in the field of head coaching, because he is young, leading the team with good results, coupled with his long-term scandals and news, he has attracted more attention than football stars. ,

Today's Yang Cheng doesn't need any deliberate hype at all, his words can make the young man named Ashley Young in Watford soar dozens of times, and any trivial matter that happened to him is the object of countless media reports, why?

Because someone is paying attention!

So much so that in today's game, Alan Hansen had to sigh and say that Yang Cheng reinterpreted the position of head coach.

At the same time, many professionals have analyzed the phenomenon caused by Yang Cheng, and believe that the reason why Yang Cheng can reach the influence of the first person in football today is very important due to the current environment.

They take Yang Cheng's scandal as an example, before it was just the media to report his scandal in order to dig up the fierce news, and to track and excavate, but later, it gradually evolved into a trend, that is, there are many women who are eager to become famous, and deliberately approach Yang Cheng to create scandals in order to become famous.

In this case, these women are undoubtedly tantamount to hyping Yang Cheng in disguise.

"I used to say that those who had scandals with Yang Cheng were all top beauties, but after saying a lot and reporting a lot of media, it gradually evolved into a trend, that is, if you don't have scandals with Yang Cheng, you won't be considered a top beauty!"

Of course, this is purely a joke of some TV shows, but from this point, it can be analyzed that Yang Cheng's sensation is caused by today's environment.

Isn't there a saying? Existence is reasonable!

…………

…………

Finally got rid of the entanglement of Liverpool fans at the airport, a group of people boarded the bus and drove north in the direction of the hotel, and Yang Cheng was also confirming the next itinerary with the team leader, they will start training in the afternoon, and they will arrange time to adapt to the venue.

At the same time, there will be a press conference tomorrow, in addition to the manager, the captains and important players of both sides have been invited, also to warm up for the upcoming Champions League final.

It can be said that after arriving in Istanbul, Liverpool's itinerary was also tightly arranged.

"Wow, there are red clothes everywhere!" I heard the players in the bus exclaiming.

The airport is only 15 kilometres from the Ataturk Stadium, which is built on the outskirts of the city and is very remote, so the team lives in a five-star hotel on the edge of the city, and many fans do the same.

So when the team came out of the airport, the further north they went, the more Liverpool fans they saw on the streets.

When they saw the Liverpool bus, they all shouted desperately, chasing the bus.

"Come on, Liverpool! Long live Liverpool! ”

Looking behind from the window of the bus, I could see that the fans were still chasing the back of the bus and shouting, knowing that they couldn't catch up, but they still didn't give up, until the bus disappeared, and they stopped one by one out of breath.

"It's all here!" Hyypia said with a smile.

"Will Liverpool become an empty city?" Carragher is even hilarious.

The whole bus burst into laughter.

But everybody felt that kind of support from the fans, because just the thought of so many fans coming from faraway England to Istanbul, Turkey, just to cheer on the team, they will feel moved and feel a sense of motivation in their hearts.

When the team arrived at the hotel, they found that there were more fans gathered here, and they gathered at the gate one by one, some of whom were very familiar, and they knew at a glance that they were Liverpool loyalists, and they had to go to Anfield Stadium to watch every game.

They're all sane and they all know that what the team needs most at the moment is rest and adjustment, so they're just in front of the hotel to let the players see them, know they exist, and feel their support.

Other than that, they didn't do anything and didn't cause the slightest trouble for the hotel security.

But looking at them, everyone felt a strong desire to win.

Can they lose, can they disappoint these fans who are not far away?

No!

Absolutely not!. )
