Chapter 400 Come on, everyone!

Before the game, both sides announced the starting lineup for the game.

And this list was also placed in the hands of the two head coaches in the first place.

Although it is too close to the start of the game to adjust the main starting roster, on this basis, it is also possible to make some estimates of the tactics the opponent will adopt.

So in the game, make corresponding arrangements.

Inter Milan's starting lineup is still not what Duncan expected.

Goalkeeper Cesar, the defense line is Chivu, Samuel, Lucio and Maicon, the midfield three players are Zanetti, Cambiasso and Muntari, the front trident is Tevez, Eto'o and Pandev.

Although it is a 433 formation, Inter Milan's formation is very compressed in defense.All 11 players will retreat to their own 30-meter area to defend.

Manchester City has a more aggressive lineup.

The goalkeeper is Diego Lopez, and the defense is Lichtsteiner, Thiago Silva, Joel Luka, Ashley Young.

Four midfielders, David Silva, Toure, Hargreaves, Pedro.

The double forward partner is Shevchenko and Aguero.

This combination is Manchester City's strongest and most reliable combination.

This combination is aggressive and experienced, and it is the most feared striker combination in European football.

Looking at his two most trusted strikers, Duncan's tone was full of expectation: "It's up to you to disrupt Bayern's defense!"

This pair of striker partners has been deliberately cultivated by Duncan. Not only are they outstanding in ability, but they also obey Duncan's command.This is also the biggest harvest Duncan has worked so hard to bring Manchester City to the present.

If a new head coach is now in command of Manchester City, even if they can achieve good results, they will not be able to play Duncan's feeling of being in control.

Big-name players are not so easy to drive.

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely blow up their defense!" Aguero patted his chest and said.

He has reason to say that, in just one season, he has grown from a rookie to a top forward.And in the national team, he also performed well.

In the upcoming World Cup, Aguero also beat Higuain to become Messi's primary striker partner.

This season, Aguero has shown a very good upward momentum, scoring goals in many key games.

Such Aguero has the confidence to say such things.

Shevchenko smiled slightly and did not speak.

After reading thousands of sails, Shevchenko has already passed the time of relying on rhetoric to express his confidence. This kind of Champions League final, without Duncan's deliberate guidance, he has already adjusted his state and is ready to welcome the arrival of the Champions League final.

At this time, one look is enough to explain everything.

"And my wide players." Duncan looked at Pedro and David Silva. If the striker is the terminator, then the two wide players are the creators. They kept using various methods, To destroy the defenses of various opponents, and at the same time deliver shells to his own striker and create opportunities for other players.

"In the case of dense defense, I need you to stand up more! Don't be stingy with your physical strength. Sometimes, if you run one step longer, you may have an opportunity!" Duncan told his side players.

After talking about the striker and the wing, and then the middle of the midfield.

"In the middle, Hargreaves and Toure, pay attention to your tasks! Cambiasso appears more as a defender, so you two should pay more attention to the suppression of Zanetti and Muntari, To separate Zanetti and Muntari from the frontcourt as much as possible, just like we did against Bayern, understand?"

Hargreaves and Toure nodded. Whether it was offense or defense, this pair was able to do a job with ease.Hargreaves has plenty of physical strength and covers a large area, while Toure has a strong body, excellent ball-handling ability and long-distance passing ability.

Such a combination can almost be said to be an excellent midfield combination with no dead ends in all directions.

Only when the waist is hardened can the team stand up straight.

"Yaya!" Duncan specifically told Toure: "In this game, although we will have the upper hand in possession, I still hope that you will put more energy and attention on defense. Inter Milan It’s fine if you don’t counterattack, if you counterattack, it must be simple and deadly. Whether you can give enough support to the defense line may be the key to our victory or defeat in this game!”

Duncan's words were very serious, and Toure nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, I won't let them pass the midfield easily!"

Duncan smiled. Although the responsibility he gave was a bit heavy, he did not doubt Toure's ability to undertake this responsibility.

With the highest salary in the team, Toure should reflect the ability of the world's top midfielder.

Then Duncan looked to his defense.

"Boss, the opponent's top striker is an Argentine. Just based on this, I can prevent him from losing his temper without you having to say it." Thiago Silva spoke first.

He grinned: "I will not let an Argentine easily break through the goal behind me."

Thiago Silva is Brazilian and Tevez is Argentinian.

Brazil and Argentina are the two kings in South America, and the duel between them is often full of excitement.

And both sides also have a lot of players playing in the European League.

Therefore, as a regular visitor to the national team, Thiago Silva is still very confident when he plays Tevez.

On the defensive line, Thiago Silva is displayed as defensive hardness, while Ashley Young and Lichtsteiner are displayed as defensive speed.

After all, Inter Milan is a purely defensive counterattack tactic, and defensive counterattacks rely on speed rather than positional warfare.

The speed of Ashley Young and Lichtsteiner is the guarantee of Manchester City's defense.

That's why Duncan sent such a combination instead of a player with stronger defensive ability like Heinze.

During this period of training, Duncan arranged a large part of the training content, which was to arrange targeted defensive training for Ashley Young and Lichtsteiner.

The focus is not on frontal defense, but on grasping the opponent's passing intentions, destroying the opponent's offense or chasing back at the first time, and preventing them from fighting in a small local area.

To be honest, to defend Inter Milan's Thunder counterattack, key players need to make the most correct choice in a very short period of time.

Opportunities are fleeting, we must seize the opportunity!
Duncan finished admonishing his players, then looked around again.

He is quite satisfied with the mental state of the players.

"Guys, I won't say anything superfluous. This is a Champions League final, winning is king, and losing is nothing. Now that we are so close to the championship, what reason is there to back down?"

"Come on everyone, in nine or ten minutes, I hope to be here and open champagne for you to celebrate!"
