Winters in Milan are cold, but in the conference room at the Pinettina base, everyone feels warm.

Because there is a scorching fire burning in the heart of each of them!

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff took turns to come to the front stage, repeatedly introducing the overall tactical ideas of Juventus to each player present through the specially customized video highlights of the coaching staff and the tactical plan prepared before, as well as commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of Juventus players in each position, as well as offensive tactics.

The players sitting below, each of them also spread out a report on their laps, which is about the strengths and weaknesses of the players that each of them may have to face, as well as the contingency measures for some situations encountered in the game, and even down to the details of what to do after conceding a few goals.

There was a week between the game against Roma and the Italian derby, so Yang Cheng could prepare for the game calmly, and he would even spend a few days of training sessions to familiarize his players with this tactical idea, without the usual rush.

By the time the meticulous tactical arrangements were over, an hour had passed.

Paul Byer walked down, Yang Cheng walked back, and everyone knew he had something to say.

"I believe we all know the tactics for this game, I just want to ask you a little more.

"First of all, we have to watch out for Juventus to make a crazy comeback against us at any point in the game, which no one can expect, so we have to be ready at all times and I ask each and every one of you to stay focused on the game."

'We've always been a team player and I hope we can continue to maintain our ability to work together, try our best to control the game, control the tempo, control all the space and try not to concede the ball or not concede it first!'

In the face of a team like Juventus, everyone knows the consequences of conceding the ball first, and once Lippi succeeds in the sneak attack, it is entirely possible that he will directly wave his hand, retreat across the board, and directly put out an iron bucket formation to hold the score.

Italian teams are already good at defending, and once a team like Juventus puts on a bucket formation, it will be difficult for anyone to break through!

"Second, we have to pay attention to our strengths, which is our technique and creativity, and we have to try to stretch the width and play depth as much as possible, and we have more advantages in one-on-one, use our runs and echoes, use our teamwork, and kill them!"

"Don't fight with Juventus, our strength is technology, it's creativity, we have to keep pulling the Juventus defence, pulling their players, consuming their energy, finding their holes, don't fight, especially the midfielders."

'We have to have a lot of patience so that even in the last moments of the game, we can't be agitated, which can limit our performance, and that's exactly what the opponent wants to see, and we can't make mistakes like that because we're a mature team.'

When the players heard this, they all nodded in unison.

Almost everyone here is experienced in a hundred battles, even a young player like Pasquale is already an international player of the national team, so they are very clear about the intention of Yang Cheng's emphasis.

If Juventus press out and play, it will be fine, but if they stick to the counter-attack, then the game will be very difficult, and then it will be up to who can hold on to the end.

It can be said that whoever is anxious first will lose!

"No matter at any time, no matter what the situation, even if we are behind, we must not be impatient, you have to have faith in me, I said, we will win, then we will win, understand?"

"Understood!" The players replied in unison.

"Thirdly, forget about the referee, forget what happened to us last season, now it's a different situation, our general manager is the president of the professional league, he's working on the professional league, the referee is not going to be the dominant factor in this game, so we don't need to worry about the referee, we just have to play our best to beat the opponent."

"I'm looking forward to seeing you defeat your opponents on the court," Yang Cheng laughed, "so that when I face reporters, I will arrogantly despise Moggie and Lippi and taunt them: Fart, a bunch of scumbags, without the referee, you are a bunch of scum!" Yang Cheng deliberately said this in a strange tone, and combined with his expression, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

"I just have these three requirements, I hope everyone can pay attention, and then I will look at every player in training, and whoever performs the best will be in the squad!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Cheng signaled the players to disband.

But when everyone quit and was about to go home, Yang Cheng walked to the gym.

…………

…………

Nedved has a good, but arguably bad, habit, that he's a pranker.

Yang Cheng knows his proud disciple very well, after he finished training, he saw that Nedved was in good condition, he should have exercised by himself during the two-day vacation, so he kept it well, and after the team re-trained, the intensity made him not very satisfied, he would definitely practice for himself.

Sure enough, he was doing machine training in the gym.

"Sometimes I really want Chris to dissect you and see if you really have three lungs, or if you really have three kneecaps!" Yang Cheng walked into the gym and found a place to sit down with a smile.

Seeing that it was Yang Cheng, Nedved smiled, but did not stop his movements, "Is there anything wrong with me, boss?" ”

"Can you stop? When I go outside to talk, I always feel that I am not used to being here, especially when I see you practicing like this, I will feel that I am too vulnerable! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Nedved suddenly laughed, he and Yang Cheng have a really close relationship, their residence is not far away, the children like Yang Cheng very much, and Yang Cheng often goes to their house to eat on some holidays or something.

The Czechs reluctantly stopped their movements, breathed a deep sigh of relief, turned around and grabbed their clothes, didn't put them on, and walked out directly, that posture was really a macho man.

Yang Cheng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw his bold movements, it's winter outside, doesn't this guy feel cold?

The two walked out of the gym and took a walk at the base of Pinettina.

The night was falling, and the base was already quiet, but there were still the sounds and lights of playing football on the training ground in the distance, as if someone was practicing. Yang Cheng and the two walked like this, slowly walking towards the training ground.

"Do you think that the task I gave you is too heavy?" Yang Cheng asked.

Of course, Nedved knew what Yang Cheng meant, and when he was arranging the tactics just now, he realized that the game task in the position of the forward midfielder would be very heavy, and it must have been for him.

Defensively, he needs to be able to move forward, participate in pressing and intercepting the Juventus defence, and back then, he needs to be able to drop back into the midfield, fill the holes in the middle of the midfield, and sometimes have to juggle the left and right wings.

It's a heavy task, but Nedved doesn't feel much pressure.

"You know me, chief, I'm not afraid of pressure, and I will definitely do my best to complete the task you gave me." Nedved was resolute.

Yang Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked slowly, raising their heads and looking at the hazy night sky, where the stars were beginning to appear.

"How many years have you been with me?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

Nedved thought for a moment, "It's been almost 7 years!" ”

Yang Cheng was stunned, "Has it been so long?" ”

"Of course!" Nedved raised his eyebrows, "I've been with you since '96, and you came to Italy to convince me." ”

After a pause, he seemed to recall the events of the year, with a look of remembrance and gratitude, "Seriously, boss, the proudest thing in my life is to be able to become your player, it is you who have led me to achieve so much glory and achievements, in my heart, I really have long regarded you as my eldest brother and relatives!" ”

Yang Cheng's heart was warm, but he scolded with a smile in his mouth: "Don't be numb, are you bigger than me?" ”

Nedved smiled, he was August 30, Yang Cheng was in September, the gap between the two was not a few days, but it was indeed him who was bigger.

"I always feel that I owe you an acknowledgement!" Yang Cheng said.

In his team, Nedved has never been the most eye-catching figure in the team, although he came to Inter Milan and gave the team's captain's armband to Nedved, but everyone can see that the number one star in the Inter Milan team is Ronaldo, and even Ruud van Nistelrooy, Pirlo, Nesta and other players are better than Nedved. , this part is due to Nedved's low-key style of play, and part is Yang Cheng's tactics.

"Don't be stupid, sir, you know my personality, I've never been the kind of person who needs to be recognized, you forgot, you said when you were in Kaiserslautern that those of us who are players can just get your recognition and don't need to pay attention to other people, don't you remember?" Nedved laughed freely.

Yang Cheng nodded, "I haven't forgotten, it's just that I also have my thoughts, I gave you a new position in this game, a free man in the midfield, I decided not to limit your position anymore, but this is just an attempt, you have to show me and prove that you are worthy of this treatment!" ”

Yang Cheng has not set up a free man role in midfield since Gattuso, because his tactics are very rigorous, but this time he decided to try it to give Nedved more room to play, so that the Czech can completely unleash his form and strength.

Nedved was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his gratitude in his heart was even greater, because he knew that Yang Cheng was putting all the chips in this Italian derby on him, and if he messed up, then Inter Milan would be a tragedy.

"Don't worry, sir, I told you, I'll never be disappointed in you!" Nedved smiled confidently like Yang Cheng, he, like Yang Cheng, would never lose confidence.

When the two walked to the training ground, they saw Chiellini, an Italian teenager, practicing some basic techniques in front of the dummy, and he practiced them over and over again.

Yang Cheng didn't bother him, but silently watched from a distance, watching Chiellini practice repeatedly in the cold night, with concentration projected in his eyes.

"Every time I see them, I realize how lucky I am!" Nedved said with a smile, turning his head to look at Yang Cheng, "Because I met you, boss, you have made my career without any regrets." ”

Yang Cheng deliberately made a creepy move, "It's so cold!" ”

Both burst into laughter.

"Isn't it true that men over the age of thirty will become verbose?" Yang Cheng asked.

"I don't know, but Ivana has been complaining about me getting verbose lately, which should be true!" Nedved laughed.

"It's okay, I'm not married!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

"That's why I told Jennifer that she still has a chance!" Nedved laughed.

Yang Cheng was stunned, "Damn, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

They live close to each other, and they are all celebrities, so they are naturally familiar.

"It's nothing, it's just that the last time Ivana invited her to dinner at home, she asked a lot of things about you, and I just told you the truth!" Nedved shrugged.

"You bastard!" Yang Cheng scolded.

"By the way, Ivana told me just now that she invited her to dinner, so you can come over too!" Nedved proposed, adding, "Both imps are very concerned about you." ”

"Not available!" Yang Cheng directly refused.

But in fact, at this point, Nedved is very pestering, and he will pestering you to agree, so Yang Cheng finally went to his house.

…………

…………

Nedved's home is not far from Yang Cheng's villa, he did not buy a villa near the lake, but chose to live in a safer community, because he has two children, he has to think about safety, and there are more facilities in the community, and there is a back garden or something, which is convenient for children to play.
