Chapter 556 Starting Lineup
On May 5, the entire Schalke 23 team flew to London to prepare for the Champions League final.

I have to go ahead of time. Wembley Stadium is one of the best stadiums in the UK, but this is from the perspective of facilities and cost. The turf of this stadium makes people unable to complain.

Just in this year's League Cup final, Manchester United's Irving was reimbursed for the season because of a thigh strain on the slippery turf of the Wembley Stadium.

Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Redknapp Sr. have all criticized the very slippery turf at Wembley Stadium, commenting on the turf as if it had just held a rock concert the night before.

If you don't adapt in advance, maybe someone will be injured at the beginning...

However, after arriving in London, Schalke 04 chose to borrow Chelsea's training base for training in order not to disclose the pre-match deployment. Uh, although Abramovich is pursuing Melon Bald, the two clubs have a deep hatred, and it is unlikely that they will take the initiative The leak of information.

On the training ground, Sun Wu is carefully explaining various tactical gestures with his teammates. In many cases, temporary changes and fine-tuning of tactics are decided and executed by Sun Wu.

"Best!" Rolf reminded from the side, "Chelsea players are here, let's talk later."

Sun Wu immediately stopped talking, and looked back to see Chelsea captain Terry, Lampard, and Cech walking to the sidelines.

"Best, I should have strongly suggested that the boss buy you back then." Terry put his arms around Sun Wu like a big brother,

Sun Wu played against Chelsea for the first time that year. After the game, Terry invited Sun Wu to Chelsea, but Sun Wu perfunctory passed it.

I really don’t dare, I didn’t dare to do it before, let alone now!
I didn't have a girlfriend before, and now Christine is growing up... Just at the end of last year, the girlfriend's wife incident broke out, Terry became a critic, and the unlucky Bridge had green hair on his head.

But Terry is just pretending. Lampard and Cech seem to be in a bad mood. They were tied by West Ham in the last round of the league with a two-point lead, and finally lost with a goal difference disadvantage. The league champion, coach Ancelotti, was also fired.

The Chelsea trio quickly left, Sun Wu pouted and said: "Look, although we killed Manchester United, they didn't support us, look at Hoeness!"

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it was Manchester United who eliminated Chelsea, but in the conversation just now, Lampard has no obvious inclination towards the upcoming Champions League final.

"Don't talk about Hoeness, he's pretty cute now." Slomka laughed.

Rangnik and Rolf couldn't help laughing too. It's true. After Sun Wu said that he likes the Bundesliga and doesn't want to leave, Hoeness immediately calmed down. This led to unanimous ridicule from the German media... I made up my mind not to start!

No way, Bayern has been rubbed on the ground these years, 60.00% of the credit is due to Sun Wu, several sweeps made Bayern lose face, both home and away games tied or even broke the highest record of losing in history, a few After the end of the season, I didn't win a championship title... This is the most bleak period for Bayern after Hoeness accepted the Bayern manager.

Several times of bickering in the air, most of them turned into tragedies in the end... Hoeness is determined to control his mouth this time.

Send it away, send it away and pull it down... It's best not to see each other for the rest of your life!

Hoeness, who had a deep hatred with Sun Wu, died down, and after Sun Wu deliberately kept a low profile, all kinds of rumors in the media immediately decreased by 04%... Many reporters were very dissatisfied with this. Schalke [-] In the closed training camp, there was little news, but Sun Wu actually sealed his mouth!

Under such circumstances, Schalke 04's training camp is getting better and better, tactics, routines, various countermeasures, and starting lineups are gradually emerging.

Hotel Rilanick room.

"The key is to be able to defend." Rolf rubbed his temples and said in a low voice: "It's really difficult. It would be great if Messi only made breakthroughs. At worst, a few more people go up to block, but breakthrough passes and even cooperation, It’s really hard to guard against.”

"How to deal with this Barcelona team is a worldwide problem." Rangnick is quite open-minded. "The discussion now is whether to throw all the cards in the starting lineup."

"I agree." Slomka rubbed his chin, "Maybe we can steal it at the beginning."

"I agree too." Rolf nodded. "What I'm thinking about is that if the defense can't hold up, it's very likely that we'll be beaten in the first half."

All three looked at Sun Wu who had been silent all this time.

"I object." Sun Wu said calmly and slowly: "First, we have practiced defense for more than half a month, so we should have some confidence."

"Second, even if all the cards are shown, it may not be able to prevent Messi's breakthrough. We must consider the possible consequences of the yellow card."

"Third, the Barcelona players are all able to run, and their physical fitness is much better than we imagined. The decisive victory is likely to be in the second half. In important games, Guardiola often prefers to kill the game in the second half."

The room was silent, and it took a long time for Lannick to say: "Yes, if the defensive player takes a card, it is very likely that we will not be able to show the strongest card when we need a decisive victory in the second half."

"Neuer, Pecarik, Milito, Hewedes, Fuchs?"

"Fuchs' defense..." Rolf hesitated and asked, "Maybe Hewedes went to the wing? Maybe Atsuto Uchida?"

"No, it's still Fuchs." Rangnick shook his head. "Farfan played on the left in this game, and Fuchs is behind him. This is our only way to attack."

Sun Wu sighed secretly, Farfan played on the left, an adaptation card is indispensable.

"Best, Westman, Jones, Rakitic, Farfan." Rangnick continued: "There is nothing wrong with the midfielder. Of course, your position has changed for Best."

Sun Wu didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"There is only one striker, Cavani."

"There are only 6 positions on the bench except for the substitute goalkeeper, Raul, Firmino, Matip, Hitzelsperger..." Rangnick looked up at several assistants, "There are still two positions."

"At least one should be reserved for the full-back, Hao Junmin." Rolf glanced at Sun Wu and said, "After all, he performed well in the semi-finals. He opened the scoring and participated in the other two goals. He also did it defensively. good."

Slomka nodded in agreement, "Another position, Aubameyang or Draxler?"

"Draxler." Sun Wu took the initiative to reciprocate this time, "He can play in many positions, and if he can't, he can be pulled back to play in the midfield."

"That's all for the roster and starting lineup." Lannick got up and stretched his waist. "It's been half a month, and there are three days left, just stick to it!"

Sun Wu pondered in his mind for a while, then raised his head and asked, "How do we determine the time for substitutions? This determines the timing of our attack."

"First, no change in the first half, even if someone gets a yellow card."

Rangnick obviously thought about it in advance, "Second, if a key player in the second half or a player who was assigned to be replaced before the game received a yellow card, he would make a substitution."

"The specific attack time is the old rule, and it's up to you, Best."

Sun Wu nodded silently, licked his lips, thinking that this would be a Champions League final that would leave everyone dumbfounded.
