Chapter 9 Champions League Final

Stade de France, Paris, France. 2000 UEFA Champions League final venue.

The players were ready to play, and Jiang Shan clapped with them one by one.

Mendieta, Herald, Caboni, and Anglomar all leaned beside Jiangshan, "We will follow your plan, don't worry."

"Yes, we want to win more than you." Angeloma remained calm.

Jiang Shan patted them on the back, "Listen to me, we will definitely win the final championship."

He is also nervous!Jiangshan is definitely the first time.Who hasn't had the first time?Everyone's first time is tense and exciting.

Bosque and Cooper shook hands, with a hidden smile.

Bosque was stunned, "Jiangshan is your assistant? Fortunately, you didn't listen to his formation, otherwise I would be in trouble today."

He had given a speech at Wukang University before, and Jiang Shan specifically asked him to discuss the formation of troops. Bosque didn't know Jiang Shan's identity until a few days ago, and he was a little depressed.

Cooper felt annoyed, "Jiangshan again, everywhere is Jiangshan." Immediately responded, "Jiangshan is just my assistant, but I am the head coach."

Bosque's image is not as handsome and tough as Cooper's. When the two shake hands, Cooper is undoubtedly more attractive.

By the way, Bosque is also quite sad.He led the Real Madrid team very well, won two Champions Leagues in three years, and won at least one championship every year, but just after winning the league championship in 2003, he was immediately fired by Florentino.

It's just joy and sorrow.It is said that the reason is that Bosque's personal image does not match the temperament of Real Madrid... Doesn't this mean that he is too handsome?From then on, Bosque and Florentino had a bad relationship. Later, Real Madrid wanted to award Bosque a gold medal, but Bosque ruthlessly and coldly refused.

When the starting rosters of both sides came out, Cooper breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be as Jiang Shan expected, 532, hum, it's not that easy to deal with me."

Real Madrid's goalkeeper is the young Iker Casillas, the back line from left to right is Carlos, Ivan Campo, Elguera, Karanka and Salgado, and the midfield position is Raul, Redondo and McManaman.

Of course, in the game, Raul is more on the front midfielder position, he is a competent striker.The double forwards on the field are Anelka and Morientes.

Valencia's main defensive line all played.The goalkeeper is still white-haired Canizares, and the back line from left to right is Carboni, Pellegrino, Djukic and Angloma.

It's strange to say that Valencia's main defense line is not top-notch in terms of individual defensive ability. Pellegrino turns slowly, and the two full-backs are old, but the combination of these people works quite well, almost watertight.

The two old men, Caboni and Angeloma, played health-preserving balls in the last few league games. They are in good condition and their bodies have fully recovered.In the last life, Caboni was injured in this game and missed the squad, and his position was replaced by Gerardo.

The midfielder Mendieta did his part to occupy a starter, the other three were Farinos, Gerard and Gonzales, and the forward positions were Xiao Chong Lopez and Angulo, which also did not change much.

The players on both sides are too familiar with the same league, so it depends on the performance on the spot.Bosque was a bit depressed, and Caboni actually started the game, which increased the possibility of Raul and Salgado being restricted by old football ruffians.

Fans all over the world are paying attention to the UEFA Champions League final. Even if they are far away in China, many fans get up in the middle of the night to watch.They saw the young people in the assistant chair again, young people like them.

beep!
With the whistle of the Italian coach Blasci, the game began.

Jiang Shan's heart was picked up in an instant, and the exciting moment came.

Cooper's tactics are very clear. The players are inexperienced and more nervous. They can only play steadily at the beginning, only waiting for the opponent to attack, and then enter the state and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Bosque seemed to have expected Cooper's arrangement, and the tactical arrangement was overbearing, grabbing two wings and attacking fiercely. How long did it take for Carlos and Salga to overwhelm the half-court and become wingers.

The formation of 532 changed into a formation of 352 at the beginning of the game, which was menacing.Cooper was inexplicably anxious. The Champions League final was different from what he had imagined. He was a little conservative.

Originally, he planned to fight back from the wing, but in Bosque's arrangement, the defense was also solid. The 532 formation is a big pocket in defense, and Varen's players plunged into the pocket and couldn't get out at all.

Mendieta was taken care of by Carlos and Raul in turn, and there was no room for free play. He played extremely uncomfortable and almost invisible.

What's more serious is Herald. After Mendieta was restricted, he became the team's main ball-holding point, and the heavy responsibility for the breakthrough in the center was all on him.But he faced more Real Madrid players and the situation was more difficult.

Herald had just broken through McManaman, and Karanka rushed up again, interrupting his rhythm. There was Redondo harassing him, and the ball was easily broken.

Real Madrid's defense in the backcourt is very targeted, wrapping around the sides. To deal with Mendieta and Gonzalez, the center is to strictly guard against death and not give Herald a chance to score the ball.

Forced him to break through with the ball, and then Real Madrid took advantage of the numbers to steal.

When Jiang Shan saw Real Madrid's tactical arrangement, he was in a bad mood. Didn't he tell Cooper all these tactics?Cooper didn't even have targeted measures?
Cooper was also very depressed, "Fuck, is Jiangshan the roundworm in Bosque's stomach? Why did you guess everything right?"

In the 35th minute of the game, Valencia has been passive, and the goal has been in danger many times. If it weren't for the dedication of Canizares, they would have fallen behind.

Thinking of Varen conceding the ball in the 39th minute of his previous life, Jiang Shan couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed down and whispered to Cooper, "Let the guards on both sides get in and suppress their offense, which is also releasing Mendieta. Otherwise, Carlos will cause great trouble."

"You don't need to teach me." Cooper was in a bad mood. At this time, Jiang Shan came over and talked. He was just an assistant, no, just a scout, a part-time scout.

Caboni and Angeloma looked at the sidelines, saw Jiang Shan's gesture, and began to counterattack gradually, crossing the opponent's half.

There was an extra receiving point in the half, and Mendieta's pressure suddenly decreased.It was impossible for Raul to let Angloma go, so he had to follow back to defend, and the number of people on the edge of the penalty area suddenly increased a lot.

Mendieta received a diagonal pass from Angloma near the penalty area, wiped Redondo, and crossed the goal.Xiao Chong Lopez suddenly inserted and lobbed, Valencia's best chance since the opening.

Iker Casillas made a wonderful save and played the ball out of the penalty area, Carlos received the pass, started it, and put it in.

Anglomar chased back quickly, but was still a step slower, and was no match for Carlos in terms of speed.

Jiangshan's heartbeat accelerated, and he checked the time, it was exactly the 39th point.Sure enough, Carlos took a shot and shot from a long distance.The difference from the previous life is that Carlos shot directly, not a free kick, but it was more threatening.

boom!The ball was blocked by central defender Djukic.

At this time, Angloma just caught the ball and twisted it away before the Real Madrid players. He came and passed the ball without looking at it, and gave it to Gerard in front.

Mendieta and Herald switched positions. Gerard dribbled the ball on the wing and only one Raul was following up. Carlos hadn't returned yet.

Jiang Shan didn't sit down when he returned to his seat, his heartbeat was faster than Herald's footsteps, it changed, it was different from the previous life, did it work?This is his tactical arrangement, a tactical arrangement quietly arranged with the players.

Cooper was also nervous. He didn't expect the player to have an idea, the effect was good, and he finally made room for a counterattack.

The four of them went down quickly, and what they were eating was the gap left by Real Madrid's offensive and defensive transitions.
