Chapter 1276 Gorgeous final chapter

After finishing the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid began to enter the last game of the season, but also the most important final, the Champions League final held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany.

The opponent is Real Madrid's sworn enemy, Barcelona!
Because Real Madrid still has to play the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona has a longer preparation time.

As early as the day after the last round of La Liga, Luis Enrique led the team to leave Barcelona and secretly went to the training camp for a two-week closed training.

For this training camp, from the Barcelona management to the media reporters, they all kept silent, as if they were practicing in retreat. Few people even knew where Barcelona went, let alone what their training content was.

For Real Madrid, the pressure is indeed relatively high.

Undoubtedly, in terms of historical results, Real Madrid has a more obvious advantage, but the problem is that this time Barcelona has ample preparation time, and they have two weeks to prepare, which is a very huge advantage.

Maybe many people can't understand how big this advantage is, so just compare the difficulty of the double match in a week to see it.

In addition to fatigue, the difficulty of double matches a week is the most terrible thing is targeted tactics.

It can be said that in a double match a week, the team has no time to conduct targeted tactical drills, and the coaching staff can only instill theoretical things in meetings. How to combine practice depends on the players' on-the-spot performance, because the team does not have time to run-in and practice, which greatly increases the difficulty of the game.

In La Liga, the gap in team strength is not as big as the outside world imagines. Once the bottom team has made careful preparations, it is entirely possible to defeat the unprepared champion team.

Even in the Copa del Rey, the case of a rich team defeating an amateur or semi-amateur team is equally uncommon.

This is not only true of La Liga, but also of cup competitions in other countries.

In this way, once they have enough preparation time, with Barcelona's strength, they can formulate a set of targeted tactics to restrain Real Madrid, but Real Madrid know nothing about it and don't have much time to prepare.

After finishing the Copa del Rey final at Athletic Elbao, we had two days of rest, two days of targeted training, and then rest, and then the Champions League final.

Real Madrid is also very nervous about the Champions League final when their preparations are far inferior to their opponents.

…………

…………

"During this period of closed training, Luis Enrique must focus on solving two problems."

After a day of training, Yang Yang did not leave, but was stayed by Zidane to drink tea in his office on the second floor. Ancelotti also came over after a while, so the topic quickly shifted to the upcoming Champions League final.

Barcelona's closed training camp makes people very curious. This kind of two-week long-term training camp is extremely rare in European professional leagues, unless it is a pre-season training camp, but this time Barcelona got such preparation time, which is very worrying.

"One is to solve the contradiction of the frontcourt attack, even if it is only temporary." Yang Yang said his possible changes to Barcelona in the next Champions League final. "The other one is their defense."

Barcelona's defense is not ideal. Compared with their sharp offense, their defense can be said to be a huge weakness. This is also a big worry for everyone, that is, can Barcelona defend against Real Madrid's offense?
As for the offense, the luxury level of the front trident can be said to be unprecedented, but the running-in problem between them has a long history. How to solve the coordination between the three superstars is the big problem that Enrique has always faced, and it is also the key to facing Real Madrid.

Only by solving these two problems can they have the ability to beat Real Madrid!
"Although Luis Enrique only came to Rome to coach for one season, this one-year period has greatly helped his coaching. He implemented the defensive tactics he learned in Italy during Vigo Celta. When he arrived in Barcelona, ​​​​he has always been practicing the combination of his football philosophy and Barcelona's existing system."

As the head coach of the team, Ancelotti looks at problems from the perspective of the team as a whole.

"At the beginning of the season, before playing against us in the first derby of the century, Barcelona did not concede a goal. Yes, during this period of time, Barcelona did not encounter too strong opponents. However, compared with Barcelona's defensive lineup, the defensive performance of not conceding a goal is really surprising. It can also be seen that Luis Enrique's defensive training."

Both Yang Yang and Zidane nodded in unison.

Italy is a tactical master, which is recognized by the football world.

Not to mention Luis Enrique and those famous coaches in Italy, Guardiola has also been to Italy, Benitez has also traveled to Italy to study, and there are many other famous coaches, basically all have a deep imprint of Italian football.

Italy's defensive concept, even now, will not be outdated.

Luis Enrique coached Rome for a year, and his results were neither good nor bad, but it is obvious that during this year, he has completed a great transformation, especially the perfection of his tactical concept.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's defense problem does not seem to be weak, much better than Barcelona, ​​but in front of an attacking combination like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who dares to say that their defense can hold up?

This extends to what Yang Yang mentioned, Enrique needs to solve the second problem, to resolve the tactical conflict of the Trident.

How to resolve it?

This is a kind of wisdom, simple and simple to say, but difficult to say!
In many cases, the most important ability to coach a wealthy team is not coaching ability, but how to resolve conflicts and stimulate players' fighting spirit and competition ability.

Zidane hadn't spoken all the time, but suddenly he spoke, "To be honest, I think Enrique came prepared this time, and before the secret training camp, I guess that a consensus has been reached within Barcelona."

Ancelotti nodded in agreement, and Yang Yang understood after a little thought.

Last season's Real Madrid won the treble, and Barcelona was empty-handed. This is really an insult to the frontcourt, which claims to be the most luxurious trident ever.

All three of them are the core figures of their national teams. Argentina, Portugal and Brazil are all traditional giants in the world football.

And this season, Real Madrid has won La Liga and the Copa del Rey successively, which is tantamount to forcing Barcelona into a desperate situation, and they have no way out.

The stronger Real Madrid is, the greater the pressure will be on Barcelona and Barcelona players. It is basically impossible for superstars at their level to overwhelm them, and what follows is their rebound and explosion.

For Barcelona at this moment, they don't care about the process at all, they only want one result.

A result of defeating Real Madrid, keeping Barcelona, ​​and keeping their own face!

For this result, everyone in the Barcelona team will work hard!

Of course Real Madrid will be desperate, but they have to admit that, at least in terms of desperation, Real Madrid is not as good as Barcelona.

"Then we will face the most powerful Barcelona in the past two years!" Yang Yang stood up while speaking, turned and walked to the window.

The window is facing Real Madrid's training ground, and De Bruyne is still practicing extra. He is like Yang Yang in the past, insisting on extra training for himself every day, unless there is a game task the next day.

But obviously, the upcoming Champions League final has nothing to do with him. It would be nice to be on the bench, even though he is now a rising star in European football.

Yang Yang secretly sighed in his heart, he is optimistic about De Bruyne, but the competition of Real Madrid is too fierce.

"Yang, what do you think?" Zidane asked with concern.

Ancelotti also looked concerned, and obviously wanted to hear Yang Yang's thoughts.

Yang Yang looked away from De Bruyne in the distance, turned around, looked at the two coaches of the team, and smiled faintly. He knew that Ancelotti might not listen to him, at least not all of them.

"If there is no accident, the midfielder will be Rakitic, Iniesta and Busquets, playing pass and possession, we still can't play Barcelona, ​​so I don't think we should compete with them for possession, although in some games in the past, we seem to have this ability."

Both Ancelotti and Zidane nodded at the same time. Barcelona's pass and control can be said to go deep into the bone marrow. It is really not something that other teams can learn casually.

The most surprising thing this season is Bayern Munich coached by Guardiola. In the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, the ball possession rate was slightly better than Barcelona. However, in the end, Barcelona eliminated the Bundesliga giants [-]-[-] at home and [-]-[-] away.

"Playing against Barcelona, ​​I think the most important thing is to be stable. This is the key factor for us to beat Barcelona in terms of performance in the past few years. The risk of attacking is too high, and they came prepared. Our preparation time is far behind that of the opponent. Playing against attack is in the hands of Barcelona, ​​but it is not good for us."

"Be steady, take your time, use our whole to limit Barcelona, ​​suppress Barcelona's midfield, cut off the connection between the midfield and the front trident, and then control the scene. Even if we lose the ball, we can still create some opportunities."

"As long as we hold our ground and Barcelona don't take the lead, the likes of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar start to get more and more fidgety, and that's our chance."

As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, Zidane immediately nodded and said, "I think Yang Yang's analysis is good."

"But the scene will probably be more embarrassing, especially at the beginning." Ancelotti said with a frown.

The corner of Yang Yang's mouth twitched slightly. He understood that Ancelotti was still immersed in the fantasy space of the gorgeous offensive football in the first half, and couldn't extricate himself.

Even in the last game, he still wants to leave a magnificent finale!
