Chapter 399 That's the Bernabéu!

"That's the Bernabéu!" Aguero, who was sitting next to Sneijder, said.

In the past two years, he has come to play once a year, and even has a record of scoring goals here, so he is no stranger to the Bernabeu.

This time, the team they played against at the Bernabeu was not Real Madrid, but a team from Italy.

On the wall outside the stadium, a huge advertisement for the Champions League final has been hung.All can see Manchester City and Inter Milan's most charismatic stars from above.

Duncan and Mourinho are at the center of the ad. They are wearing suits with their hands in their pockets, standing facing each other. They are facing each other very well.

In the context of "Real Madrid's selection of coaches", such a tit-for-tat seems meaningful.

And under the roof of the stadium, the huge advertisement is also particularly conspicuous, especially the logo of the Champions League final, which makes people distinguish the weight of this final at a glance.

"Yes, the Bernabéu is also the venue for the Champions League final." Sneijder replied.

Aguero smiled and said nothing.

He reminded him of the Bernabeu, which actually meant to test Sneijder a little bit. From the point of view of Sneijder's mentality, he was quite peaceful.

Sneijder knew this was the team he had played for and had been kicked out of.He didn't hide it, but he didn't have any other emotions. Only in this way can he play his due role in this game.

Being too sad or too happy is actually not conducive to playing in this kind of final.

On the second day, the organizing committee gave Manchester City half an hour to adapt to the venue.

Inter Milan also has half an hour, but these two and a half hours are staggered.

Neither side can see each other.

During the half-hour stope, everyone just did some simple passing and catching exercises, familiarized themselves with the venue and atmosphere, and maintained the sense of the ball.

As for the specific skills and tactics, in the previous week, it was already full.

Now before the game, it is natural to focus on relaxation.

Duncan is also very relaxed, which can be seen from his expression during the interview.

"Mr. Duncan, seeing you are so happy, do you have any experience of winning this game?" A reporter asked.

"I don't have any experience, but a good mood is always a good start. Otherwise, if you go to the game with a sad face, you are more likely to lose." Duncan said.

"So what do you think of the opponent Inter Milan in this game?"

"Inter Milan is a team that is very good at defending and counterattacking. Although they don't attack many times in the whole game, they can always seize some opportunities. So in the game, you can't just because they don't have the ball. Take them lightly. Possession is a thing, it's not win or lose."

What Duncan talked about was the problems of some big-way merchants, problems that most people know about.

"The biggest threat to Inter Milan is undoubtedly their head coach Mourinho. The appearance of Mourinho has also increased the proportion of the head coach deciding the game in the football world. So for Mourinho The opponent you want to target is always Mourinho's tactics."

Although Inter Milan dominated Serie A in the past few years, the team's strength was always poor.

After Mourinho came to Inter Milan, Inter Milan's style of play really had a touch of masculinity, which also made them reborn and became a very competitive team.

Mourinho used pure defensive counterattacks to create a strong Inter Milan.

But here in Manchester City, the tactical changes are even more varied.Duncan is good at seizing the opponent's loopholes to formulate different tactics.

So in the game, the tactical choices of the two head coaches will play a decisive role.

After stepping on the field before the game, the coaching staff took the players back to the hotel.

Although it was in Madrid, the players were still very professional. No one went out to shop or play. After dinner and a simple chat, some players went to the training room, while others went back to their rooms.

The members of the coaching staff gathered together to discuss the details of the game.

The specific tactics have been arranged, but the discussion about Inter Milan is still helpful to develop Duncan's on-the-spot adjustments to the factory's games.

"I don't think we should be too conservative when playing Inter Milan, because Mourinho will definitely defend, so our conservatism is actually meaningless. Mourinho is good at defending. If we also defend, we will be overwhelmed!" Andy - Cole said.

"But in such an important game, we must also pay attention to defense. Inter Milan's defense is actually to accumulate strength and seize opportunities to attack. So not only must be able to suppress Inter Milan's offense, but also defend their offense! If we can contain Inter Milan in front of the goal, then we will win half of the game." Duncan nodded.

"But defending Inter Milan's offense is not very easy." Andy Cole's expression was dignified: "Inter Milan's offense is very sharp and very efficient. They know how to endure, and they also know how to seize counterattack opportunities. Mourinho has come all the way, Inter Milan's offensive coordination is often simple and elegant, and after three or two kicks, it can threaten the opponent's goal."

"Maybe we can take advantage of some high balls?" Jim Cassel said: "Our team has some high points. In addition to the double central defenders, Shevchenko's sense of grabbing points is also very good. But facing Inter Milan The intensive defense and the high ball pass may be a very good solution."

Duncan nodded, holding high and playing high, which is a very important point to break the dense defense.

As for Manchester City, side attack is a characteristic. Whether it is a full-back or a full-back, Manchester City has a lot of routines to play.In terms of suppressing Inter Milan's wing, Duncan is still very confident.

"After the start of Inter Milan, they will try their best to shrink the defense first, and then give us the possession of the ball!" Duncan said: "They seldom take the initiative to press out to defend, but more to wait and look for opportunities. I don't believe that Inter Milan really Mourinho's thinking is more about avoiding mistakes. If this is the case, then we will do what Mourinho wants and let them not grab it at once. to football."

"Of course, in addition to this, we must also pay attention to Inter Milan's passing. Their possession rate is very low and the number of passes is very small, so each of their passes must have a very obvious purpose. In In this case, it is very important to mark Inter Milan's ball-handling players or organization players. Therefore, the defense of Inter Milan should take the initiative of their key players!"

Duncan's analysis was penetrating, and the two assistants nodded.

Jim Cassell seemed to be inspired by Duncan, saying: "Inter Milan's offense actually doesn't have many routines! It relies more on long passes, and the two super forwards Eto'o and Carlos Tevez in the frontcourt are personal. Ability, or mutual cooperation. At most, one Pandev can be added. There are not many tricks that can be played between the three of them."

"Both Tevez and Eto'o run a lot, and their positions are erratic. But what is certain is that Tevez and Eto'o will not be too far apart. Whether they are attacking or defending, the two of them are very sensitive to maintaining their positions!"

"So in terms of defense, we should pay attention to cutting off the connection between the two of them and making them an isolated island! In this way, in our encirclement, we don't have to worry about them making any more mistakes!"

Duncan nodded, Mourinho's tactics are very conservative.

If Manchester City falls behind, unless they sell flaws.

Otherwise, Mourinho's team will never attack again.

And selling flaws can sometimes turn into real flaws.

……

In the huge Bernabéu stadium, tens of thousands of fans gathered in the stands.

A camera helicopter, specially equipped with cameras, flew over the Bernabéu.

Looking down from a high altitude, the Bernabéu stadium is brilliant and crowded.

Coupled with the night view of Madrid, it is even more fascinating.

Such a grand scene destined tonight's game to be a classic battle that will be recorded in the annals of history!

For this classic battle, the fans have given the greatest enthusiasm.
