503 Fight like a man
Some people say that happiness that no one shares is not true happiness; The pain that no one shares is the real pain!
In Natalie's eyes, Yang Cheng is undoubtedly the interpretation of these words.
Coaching is never an easy job, he is hard, tired, stressed, and unable to share the pain of the profession with others, because you have to make people feel your confidence at all times and in all situations.
Only then will you be able to bring confidence to your assistants and players.
But he is also a business that creates happiness for the people around him, as long as he wins, everyone is happy, they are happy.
It's a very unfair world, because of poor grades, the first one is to get in trouble with the coach.
Therefore, even if he is as strong as Yang Cheng, he still has to bear such pressure.
It's hard to imagine that if you don't really love football and love this sport, who can support it?
Looking down from the stands, Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines alone, staring silently at the field, and launched a duel to the death, the scene was very intense, because Liverpool finally began to wake up after being scored the third goal.
They have no way out, they can only go out and fight!
Natalie could only see Yang Cheng's back, I don't know why, suddenly I felt a sadness, tears rolled out of her eyes, but they didn't slip, just swirling on her eyelashes, silently bearing, just like Yang Cheng at this moment.
"Didn't you say that Juventus had a poor attack? Why were three goals still scored? Avril sat on the sidelines, and she didn't understand whether Liverpool was too bad or Juventus was too strong.
"Poor offense?" Natalie shook her head, she had a deep knowledge of football, "That's relatively speaking, I haven't seen a team with a poor attack make it to the Champions League final. ”
After a pause, she shook her head again and said: "The teams that are taught by the real top coaches must be able to attack and defend well, and can easily switch between offense and defense, so when Juventus wants to attack, their offensive ability may not lose to other teams." ”
Serie A teams are not good at attacking, that is an illusion, it is only because they pay more attention to winning calmly, so they usually do not play too risky attacks, and take a more stable way to win the game, so it gives people the illusion that they are not good at attacking.
In fact, when a Serie A team really goes out to attack, the attack power is often even more terrifying!
"That'...... Can this game still be played? Avril looked at Yang Cheng's back, and she didn't know why, she was a little worried.
I don't have any other extra thoughts, but as a friend, she can't bear to see Yang Cheng's team lose so badly, and to be honest, she loves Wu and Wu, and she still admires Liverpool very much.
"Yes!" Natalie said confidently.
She has enough confidence in Yang Cheng, or rather admiration.

…………
On the pitch, a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.
Players such as Ronaldo, Drogba, and Arjen Robben tightly wrapped around the Juventus backline, with Davies, Carrick and Murphy supporting the midfield, while Reese, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan were cautious defenders against Juventus' attacking players.
After Juventus scored three goals in a row, they also began to want to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time Yang Cheng suddenly asked the players to press directly, not giving Juventus a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, and in the last ten minutes or so of the first half, Liverpool played a round of attacks.
But in the end, unfortunately, Liverpool couldn't do anything and couldn't break the Juventus goal, and referee Gonzalez blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
One by one, the Juventus players raised their hands and applauded vigorously.
They all looked tired, but they looked very excited, especially when they walked off the field, as if the overall situation had been decided, Cassano rushed to the sidelines, waving his hands vigorously at the Juventus fans, as if he had already won the game.
At the same time, two or three Juventus players walked to the sidelines and were talking to their families. ,
Yang Cheng stood at the entrance of the player's tunnel, the first to pass by him was Reina, after the two hugged each other, Yang Cheng patted Reina's shoulder vigorously, "Don't put on a dead face, there are still 45 minutes, have a good rest!" ”
Reina raised his head and looked into Yang Cheng's eyes, who did not flinch in the slightest and stared straight at him.
From this pair of clear eyes, Reina read two things, resolute and confident!
Whether it is true or false, in short, what Yang Cheng conveys through his eyes are these two things.
After hugging other players one after another, Yang Cheng sent everyone into the locker room, and then he saw Capello coming over, he didn't turn around and leave, but stood there waiting for him.
"As I said, Liverpool look strong, but actually, you're just a bunch of kids!" Capello said with a smile.
The reason why Liverpool suffered such a big rout in the first half was because of mentality and experience.
"Kid?" Yang Cheng sneered, "Wait and see, the child will eventually grow up, and then your death time will come!" ”
Capello smiled, turned around and left, he didn't take Yang Cheng's words too seriously.
I believe that even he will feel in his heart that this game has been won nine times out of ten, at least he can't think of any reason for him to lose, and he has already thought about it, Juventus began to stand on defense in the second half.
With Juventus' rock-solid defense this season, who would dare to say that they could score three goals in a row in 45 minutes?
Such a team has not yet been born!
…………
…………
It was quiet in the closet, everyone was sitting there, motionless.
Drogba was the last player to break through the door of the locker room and walk in, he took off his jersey and revealed the white shirt inside, which read, "Captain, you have been with us!" 】。
In addition to him, there are also attacking players such as Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben who have worn such shirts, hoping to be able to show their shirts to Gerrard in the stands when they score, so that he will not feel sad, but now, ......
Burst!
Drogba stripped off his sweat-soaked shirt with all his might, and threw it heavily on the closet, making a muffled noise.
"What are you doing, Didier?" Xiao Xiaoluo, who was splashed with sweat next to him, was a little unhappy.
Drogba glanced at his teammates, his breathing was still rapid, but his face was full of resentment, "What am I doing?" I'd like to ask you, what the hell are you doing? ”
"The boss told us to be focused, to be careful, to be cautious, to be patient, but look at our first half, bastards, we were 3:0 by the guys on the other side, we have already lost this final in advance, bastard!"
Pointing to the shirt under the closet, Drogba almost gritted his teeth with hatred, "We worked so hard to get such a jersey, is it useful?" We didn't even have a chance to show, I felt like we were a foil to his mother, and we walked into this stadium just to show how strong Juventus is! ”
In the end, Drogba sat down in his seat, holding his head in his hands, scratching his brain, "the bastard, what revenge, whatever debt, him!" ”
"I really don't want us to be slaughtered by an opponent like Juventus in a game like this, that would be the biggest shame of our lives!"
Listening to Drogba's words, everyone couldn't speak, and they were silent.
“…… Through the wind, through the rain...... You'll never walk alone......"
The singing outside did not stop because of the intermission, and was entering the dressing room, and in the silent dressing room, it was particularly clear, it was a chorus of tens of thousands of people, and it was as spectacular as it was.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, the door to the closet was slowly pushed open.
Yang Cheng's figure appeared in front of everyone, he walked into the dressing room, but did not close the door, but let them all listen, in the distance of the player's tunnel, there were faint laughter and cheers, it must be from Juventus's dressing room. ,
Are they celebrating?
Do they feel that they have already won the championship ahead of schedule?
Yang Cheng waited until the voice was gone, and then closed the door of the locker room again, and suddenly the singing of the fans in the stands was weakened by more than half, but many people in the locker room raised their heads and looked at Yang Cheng who walked in.
It can be said that by now, they have completely lost their square inch and confidence, and the only thing that can support them is their trust in Yang Cheng in the past two years, and the eyes of all of them seem to reveal a kind of information.
Tell us what to do, please, sir!
Yang Cheng slowly walked from the door of the changing room, passed through the narrow changing room, and came to the front of the tactical board.
"Wait a minute, Steve, you go down, Michael, you go up!" Yang Cheng pointed at Finnan, and then at Essien.
Everybody was listening, very seriously, very seriously.
"We play a back three, Reese, Hyypia and Carragher, and watch Trezeguet and Piero!"
"There are four people in the midfield, Davies, you play on the left side, choke Camoranesi for me, not only to see him to death, but also to attack me, let Juventus see your ability, can you do it?" Yang Cheng pointed at Davis and asked.
A hint of fierceness flashed in the Dutchman's eyes, Yang Cheng knew his thoughts, so he nodded, "I will definitely make those dogs and mothers suffer thoroughly, you wait!" ”
"Good!" Yang Cheng praised, "Murphy plays on the right side, your responsibility is to show me dead Cassano, this kid is too arrogant, but he already has a yellow card, you look at it, it's better to get him down for me!" ”
Murphy nodded immediately, if the other party had one less person, then things would be much easier.
"After Essien goes up, there is only one mission, to protect Carrick!"
Yang Cheng pointed at Essien and Carrick, "Carrick should be more positive, take the ball more confidently, Essien's duty is to protect him, once Carrick loses the ball, you have to give me the first time to grab it, I don't allow the opponent to break the ball from our middle again to play a counterattack!" ”
Essien and Carrick both nodded in unison.
Pointing to the tactical board, Yang Cheng drew out the trident in the front court, "Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben are at the front, Drogba is responsible for grabbing points in the middle, Juventus's high-ball ability is lacking, we didn't have a good advantage in the first half, we must use it well in the second half, Drogba, kill Thuram and Cannavaro!" ”
Drogba nodded.
Yang Cheng walked over slowly and picked up the heavy shirt from the seat, he knew about the player, so he threw the shirt directly to Drogba.
"Put it on, we'll need it in the second half!"
A very simple sentence, but it rekindled the flame of hope for everyone present.
"Juventus's attack is mainly on the two wings, in the second half we have to strangle these two wings, and at the same time our attack should be aimed at their two wings, Ronaldo and Robben have a larger range of activities, one-on-one when they have the opportunity, Carrick and Essien's area of activity can also be appropriately larger, more forward, but when defending, we must pay attention to protecting the long shot at the edge of the penalty area."
"In the second half we have to attack, we have to play with our lives because we have no way back!"
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng stopped directly, didn't say anything more, and was quiet for a while, so that the players could hear the singing of the fans from the stands again, even if a few minutes had passed since the halftime, they still hadn't stopped.
"Listen, it's a song from the fans, can you imagine what kind of mood they're in right now?"
"Disappointed? Despair? Suffering? Saddened? Go to pieces? Or have they lost faith in victory? ”
Shaking his head, "No, their singing voices express their hearts, these tens of thousands of fans who have followed our team from Liverpool to come here, they have made a very big sacrifice in order to come to the scene to watch this game, they come here, they definitely don't want to see the team they love become a foil for others." ”
"They tell us one thing with their singing, they still believe in us, even if it's 0:3, they still believe in us, and believe that we will be able to pick ourselves up again and win this game again!" ,
"They have faith in us, don't we ourselves?"
After a pause, Yang Cheng took a deep breath, "In the far side of the players' tunnel, Juventus is already celebrating, yes, they have scored 3 goals, they are already celebrating their championship in advance, and even I believe that at this moment, countless fans around the world have decided that Liverpool is finished!" ”
One in both hands, "Are we finished?" ”
"Do you think we're finished?" Yang Cheng accentuated his tone.
"I said you can't rush to play Juventus, you are in a hurry, so we were scored; I said you have to be careful with their long-range shots, be careful with their set-pieces, be focused, and we lose long-range shots and set-pieces......
"I'm not trying to hold anyone accountable, I'm not trying to trouble anyone, I just want to tell you something, and it turns out that what I said is right!"
"Then, I'll tell you all one more thing now, keep it firmly in my mind and engrave it," Yang Cheng poked his temple hard, "The game is so far, it's only half over, we still have the second half, I want to tell you, if you want to make amends, want to prevent the tragedy from happening, then, the game has just started now." ”
"You believe me, I will bring you victory, you don't need to think about anything, you don't need to do anything, play according to the tactics I have arranged, then we will win!"
"Listen to the singing of the fans outside, feel their hearts, don't let them down, this is not only for the club, but also for the fans, but also for yourself, because this is a golden opportunity, this is your chance to make yourself a hero and go down in history!"
"Now the whole world thinks that we have lost, even our opponents feel that they have won, but if we can still reverse the opponent and still beat the opponent in this situation, then each and every one of you will become a hero in the history of football, and this game will become an epic because of you!"
Yang Cheng slowly paced back and forth in the locker room, he swept the faces of each player, looked into the eyes of each of them, he hoped to instill this confidence in them.
"I know it's going to be a tough road, but I hope you can spend some time in the rest of your day thinking about what game we've had along the way has been easy."
"From the group stage to the knockout round, to the semi-finals, to the final, we have stepped over one opponent after another, including Chelsea and AC Milan, which are the top teams in Europe, so are those games easy? Are all those victories coincidental, all accidental? ”
"What game do we have that is not the fighting spirit, every tackle, every pass, every breakthrough, every shot, gritting our teeth, holding on to the end, to get to Istanbul today?"
"Are you willing that our hard work and efforts for more than a year will be in vain?"
"Or are you willing to say that in the future, when everyone mentions Liverpool and mentions you, they will say that on May 25, 2005, in Istanbul, Liverpool and so-and-so witnessed Juventus' great victory?"
Yang Cheng shook his head vigorously, "If it were me, I would definitely not want to, because that would be the biggest humiliation to me, I would prefer to use my last breath to do my best to kill Juventus, when everyone mentions this game, they will mention Liverpool, and everyone you are here, how brilliant and great." ”
"Don't let yourself miss out on being a hero! Because in this life, it is likely that there is only one such time, and if you miss the opportunity, you will not come again! ”
At this point, the referee rang the bell.
Yang Cheng happened to walk to the door of the locker room, and he didn't open the door, but looked at the players.
"Finally, I'm here to send a few words to all of you."
"Believe you can do anything!"
"Value your opponents, but don't be afraid of them, because you are stronger than them!"
"Go on the pitch, use your blood, use your fighting spirit, fight like a man, tell Juventus, tell everyone in the whole Ataturk stadium, tell the world that we are Liverpool, we are not here to make up the numbers, we are here to win, to win the championship, to go down in history!". )
