It's going to be the toughest game we've had in the last five years

After returning to central London from A.T. Kearney and two days of closed training, Yang Cheng took part in the pre-match press conference for the UEFA Champions League final, and when interviewed by reporters, he set the tone for the match

Prior to the press conference, he had just taken his players to the handover ceremony of the St. Bolled Cup, where Casillas lifted the trophy and handed it back to UEFA, so that they could place the trophy at the entrance of the players' tunnel before the game

Sitting in front of the microphone, Yang Cheng was wearing a short-sleeved blue and black horizontal striped sports T-shirt with the Adidas logo embroidered on his chest, and Yang Cheng's personal brand logo on the right

I know what many of you will say, you will say that Real Madrid is the strongest club in world football in the last few years, the team has won countless honours and is unstoppable...... Yang Cheng said in a joking tone to the smiling reporters in front of him

He knows a lot about journalists, so he always knows how to deal with questions from journalists

But I would say that it is precisely because of this that in the last few years, we have been in the center of everyone's attention, everyone has been looking at how to crack and contain Real Madrid's tactics, everyone is using Real Madrid as a benchmark as an imaginary enemy, hoping to beat Real Madrid and knock Real Madrid down

So I'm always saying we have to do better than we used to, and last year we beat Barcelona 5-0 in the final, which was good, but that doesn't mean we can play last year's final with the same team last year and we can win Chelsea safely, on the contrary, if we keep the level and performance we did last year, we will be the ones who are embarrassed to lose

When Yang Cheng said this, he was very serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all

Jose Mourinho is one of the most tactically targeted managers in football today, he is very good at restraining and containing the opponent's attack, he is a very good manager, he will not give the opponent a second chance after seeing it once, so he watched the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona last year, then he must have a way to contain Real Madrid's attack

So I think a lot of the comments from the outside world are a bit confusing, and I want to take this opportunity to remind my players that we have to play better than last year, we have to play better than last year, and we have to attack more than last year to have a chance to win the game, and as for whether Real Madrid is the strongest team of all time, which a lot of people like to discuss, I think it makes no sense because it's not up to anyone to decide and affirm, it takes time to tell

Many reporters were bluffed by Yang Cheng's words, and I have to say that what he said does have a certain truth

Mr. Yang Cheng, do you think this season's Real Madrid has improved or regressed compared to last season, a reporter stood up and asked with concern

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, we must have made progress

Actually, after that game, I've probably watched it so far...... Five or so videos, each time I thought wow, how this team played so badly

With his words, the reporters below were immediately amused by him again, especially with his body movements and expressions, if Guardiola heard it, he would definitely be furious, and he was also shot while lying down

Really, I didn't mean to say that, but I found that we didn't play well enough in that game, how to say it, we didn't press the opponent enough, it was a little bit loose, if we pressed a little bit more, it would have been better, and a lot of times we didn't pass the ball fast enough, which is also a very serious problem

So Mr. Yang Cheng, after a season of adjustments and improvements, do you improve these problems now?

Of course, yes, Yang Cheng smiled and replied in the affirmative, but whether he can beat Chelsea still needs to be verified by the game..., Mr. Yang Cheng stood up again, Real Madrid and Chelsea are both frequent visitors to the Champions League finals in recent years, but unlike Real Madrid winning the cup in a row, Chelsea has always been on the side of the champion, what do you think about the success or failure in the upcoming final, will you be obsessed with the trophy

Absolutely, because in competitive sports, no one wants to lose, and the losing side will definitely have to suffer a lot of pressure and blame, and it will be unbearable pain, but I think my team has learned how to deal with this aspect of it, whether it is success or failure, as long as you show your best in a game, that is success

We lost the Copa del Rey final this season, but I'm glad that my players weren't discouraged by that, which shows that they have matured and know how to enjoy football more than always have a utilitarian mentality

A reporter stood up and looked at Yang Cheng sarcastically, you Real Madrid have been making a breakthrough in the past five years, winning the honor is like eating, of course, it can be said, but other teams have not won the championship for many years, how can you ask them to look down on the honor and enjoy football like you

Yang Cheng didn't have any anger in the face of sarcasm, but smiled and waved his hand to signal the reporter to sit down

I don't think you're right at all, but it's all wrong, and you know why

In my opinion, any team that wins the honor, whether it is a dark horse upset or a strong team, is based on the same foundation, that is, they played at a very high level in this game, and I believe that no one will deny this, and only by doing this can they have a chance to win the honor

But to do that, you have to give up your utilitarian mentality, you have to put yourself into the game, do your best, play your best, and nothing else, that's the key to a team's success, don't you think?

After hearing this, the reporter had to nod, at least Yang Cheng was indeed right to defend it

For me, to reach the final is a quality, an affirmation, and all I have to do now is to lead my players to be ready for the challenge, I want to get them in the best shape and no matter what the result is, I'm going to be proud of them because we made it to the final

Of course, after a hard season and getting to the final again, we have an obligation to show the world that we are not just the best team in the world, we can do better

All the reporters could feel that Yang Cheng was taking the opportunity of this press conference to boost the morale of the team, and Mourinho was actually sitting on the same thing, and he was also taking the opportunity to boost morale

At this moment, the difference in strength is already obvious, what really determines the outcome of the game is the performance of the players, the manager's strategy, and the rest is difficult to change

This final is not even just a contest of titles and honours on the pitch, but also a duel between Mourinho and Yang Cheng, and a distribution of benefits between the two teams and UEFA's off-field operations

According to estimates, if Chelsea win the championship in this game, they will get 126 million euros of economic benefits, but Real Madrid will get 150 million euros, the reason why there are more runners-up than champions is mainly because Real Madrid's off-field sponsorship share income is higher, and the host city London can get 55 million euros in revenue because of this, and the potential income is countless

But if Real Madrid wins the championship, their income is likely to exceed 200 million euros, and Chelsea can also get about 100 million euros, which is not only a competition for pure honor, but also related to the distribution of benefits

For Real Madrid, a difference of 50 million euros is enough for Real Madrid to bring in another superstar in the transfer market, who is willing to give up such a huge gain

……………,…………

In the end, it was the London side that Chelsea had the advantage of acclimatising to the pitch, and they were given the right to acclimatise in advance, while Real Madrid, who were playing away, had to wait until they had finished acclimatising to the pitch before they had the chance to walk into Wembley

Guess if Mourinho's hypocrite will arrange for spies to be in the stands, Yang Cheng looked up at the stands

There are some media and reporters on the sidelines, there are also some staff in the stands, they are all paying attention to the Real Madrid players training in the stadium, who is the enemy's spy, Yang Cheng does not know at all

The stadium is so big that you can't see who and God knows who

Please, Paul Bayer, who was temporarily transferred from the German national team by Yang Cheng, shook his head with a smile on his face, didn't you also arrange Rafa to spy on Mourinho's training just now, don't pretend to be very decent, okay

Yang Cheng looked at Benitez, who had no expression, just listened to me, that was above board, okay

What is called the fair Paul Byr laughed

You look at Rafa, on this body, standing in the stands, Mourinho, even if he is highly myopic, he knows that it is our Benitez, I didn't avoid him at all, can you see if he can Yang Cheng said with a smile

Benitez's face sank when he heard this, and he almost didn't learn Yagami'an, and he went berserk and directly tore this bastard to pieces, and his personal attack was too unusual, how could he look like a handsome

Paul Baier laughed so the side that he finally calmed down, he shook his head and said: Didn't you deliberately disrupt the team's lineup and position, are you still afraid of being seen by him

Yang Cheng looked aggrieved, oh my God, Paul, look at me, I have taken out the main lineup

This is also where all the reporters on the sidelines and the spies who deliberately sat somewhere in the stands wondered, Real Madrid unreservedly put out their strongest lineup

Yang Cheng's training plan was very compact, first with the ball and jogging on the grass for 15 minutes to warm up, so that the players could get used to the movement of the ball on the turf of Wembley Stadium, and then shoot and pass the ball to cooperate with the training, the whole process is not too technical, and it is a daily routine training

However, in the next group confrontation training, Yang Cheng arranged two teams of players to fight, representing the main group of players are Casillas, Marcelo, Kompany, Ramos and McConn, the double back is Xavi, Alonso and Mascherano, the attacking defenders are Xiao Xiaoluo, Kaka and Mata, and the single striker is Klose

The bench group seems to be messed up, because of the lack of central defenders, De Reed has been assigned to play central defenders, Granero, David Silva, Mesut Ozil, Aguero and others in the midfield, and it doesn't look any different

Judging from this arrangement, the main lineup should be the main tactics that Yang Cheng wants to arrange in the finals, and then make personnel adjustments in the appropriate positions, while the substitutes are patchwork, purely to cope with the formation spelled out in training, which is a very common thing in training, and no one will feel unfamiliar

The training was very intense, you played back and forth with each other, the offensive and tactical scenes were very good, the main force and the substitutes played very well, scored a lot of goals, and several goals were still watched, and the reporters on the sidelines applauded vigorously, showing that the Real Madrid players are in an ideal state

Throughout the training, we can find that Real Madrid should still continue its traditional formation in the past five years, and the 4231 tactics were only deliberately swayed by Yang Cheng in individual positions, but we can also rely on guessing to figure out the same Real Madrid tactics

On the eve of the final, there is a host of TV shows related to the Champions League final, the most famous of which is, of course, the BBC's Alan Hansen in England, who features several well-known commentators and experts for analysis and commentary

Goalkeeper Casillas, this is the undisputed captain of Real Madrid, must be the four players in the backline, Marcelo, Kompany and Ramos are relatively stable, McConn's form has declined very much in recent times, and we can also see that he has not improved well from the training, it is estimated that Yang Cheng will choose Arbeloa, who can play left and right, to play on the right side..., with the analysis of the corner of the TV screen, it is also correspondingly filled in the player's name on the tactical map of Real Madrid 4231

If there is no accident in the double back, it is likely to be the combination of Xavi, Alonso and De La Red, which is also the source of Real Madrid's attacking power, and it is impossible to give up this pair of double back combinations, but Mascherano has performed very eye-catching in training, and the state is very good, plus the Champions League final for the sake of insurance, Yang Cheng is not impossible to arrange Mascherano

The three attacking defenders are not much of a problem, Cristiano, Ronaldo and Kaka each have one place, Mata and David Silva are competing for the other place, and the lone striker must be Aguero, and Klose will play as a surprise player, so this should be Real Madrid's lineup for this game

The host's analysis was also agreed by the guests, but some had objections in individual positions, for example, some people felt that the back position must be De La Red, because the Spanish back is more in line with Yang Cheng's taste for attack

To be honest, I believe that fans all over the world are now hoping that a team can stand up and beat Real Madrid, because this team is really a phenomenon that makes all the teams that encounter him can only sigh that it is not the right time, but we don't want this team to dominate the football world

However, judging from the data and information we have so far, Real Madrid is still the biggest number one favorite, this team is really playing football now, there is a sense of calm and relaxed, very calm, but each player exudes a powerful aura that makes people afraid before fighting, and then condenses into a momentum

One of the guests nodded and said: Yes, Alain, you are right, I think this is more like a kind of self-confidence, often long-term wins, accumulated a unique domineering of winners, this domineering will make them stronger and more invincible

Alan Hansen smiled slightly, but football is round, there is no way that any team will always win, they will lose, and it is not unheard of that it is not uncommon to lose in the gutter at the most unexpected time, at least Real Madrid have just lost to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final

Although we all admit that Barcelona won that game by luck, it was a legendary future Real Madrid player who scored in the last minute, so we can only say that we can hope that Mourinho will be blessed by God, find out the weaknesses of Real Madrid, be able to contain Real Madrid's attack, and then beat them

As a Premier League fan, I supported Jose Mourinho's Chelsea for the first time and I can only say sorry to our Caesar

Alan Hansen's words also made the guests laugh, but it is clear that this kind of standing hosting style is what fans like the most, because football has always required you to invest in a certain team before you can really experience the fun

The reason why Alan Hansen said that Messi is a future Real Madrid player is actually from the recent media revelations, since the Copa del Rey final, there have been media reports that Messi will switch to Real Madrid this summer, because Barcelona needs to sell Messi to pay off the debt, but at present, these news have not been officially recognized

However, there is a sentence that is very right, no wind and no waves, as Alan Hansen, who has been immersed in the football field for many years, the transfer rumor itself already represents a signal, once the hype reaches a certain level, the truth will naturally surface, and at that time, the fans will be a little psychologically prepared, and slowly accept it

Alan Hansen also represents the proportion of fans in this Champions League final to some extent, that is, Chelsea playing at home wants to overwhelm Real Madrid in terms of fans, although there are many English fans who are fans of Yang Cheng, but this time they all did not hesitate to choose Chelsea

Perhaps in their opinion, the Blues, who have missed the Champions League trophy several times, really deserve to be compensated this time, at least this time they have home advantage (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.)
