Super Coach

The sea lingers outside Shankly's door I hear P's cry Shankly has left us but he left behind a great team Before you go to heaven now glory surrounds the road to Anfield On the road, we once witnessed King Kenny's football, his unique football. Our Steve Hawe was flying. We sang with dreams and music. Glory surrounded Anfield and stood outside Paisley Gate. I heard it. Screams from P Paisley is gone and we all dream of going back to Roma in 1977, that great team you led and our Red Army warriors fighting their way to Anfield We once witnessed King Kenny's football there, his unique football. We once had Steve Haiwei flying. We used dreams and music to sing glory. The huge Stade de France surrounded Anfield Stadium, with tens of thousands of football fans. If you look down from a high altitude in the stands, it will definitely be a crowded and packed place. It is a very spectacular scene, especially the night view of Paris, which is dazzling.

In the stadium, the song [On Anfield Road] by the Liverpool fans completely drowned out the sound of the Barcelona fans.

No wonder everyone agrees that Liverpool's fans are the most terrifying group of fans in the world. No team can match them in terms of creating momentum and atmosphere!

From the moment the team entered the court to warm up, the players' singing never stopped, and their singing accompanied the team's entire warm-up process.

The camera swept over everyone in the stands, from UEFA's Johansson and Platini, to the top executives of Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​to Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, Mellie Sha = Trio waited for the scandalous Caesar princesses to scan around, and then returned to the training ground.

Both teams have completed pre-match warm-up training, and the players are heading towards the locker room.

The warm-up is over and the game is about to start!

This is undoubtedly the last and most influential matchup in Europe this season, the UEFA Champions League final. Barcelona, ​​the top club from Spain, faces the defending champion Liverpool from England!

The two most popular and recognized attacking teams in the world today will undoubtedly return to the Stade de France finals on the 50th anniversary of the Champions League to present a magnificent performance to football fans all over the world. A delicious meal.”

Would Barcelona defeat Liverpool to lay the foundation for the Dream Team 2 dynasty? Or would Liverpool defeat Barcelona and become the first great team to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring? The answer will be revealed soon!

When Yang Cheng was about to enter the locker room, he saw Paul Bayer also coming in from the outside, holding a piece of paper in his hand and shaking it towards Yang Cheng, The starting lineup is out!

Yang Cheng took it and glanced at it,

He handed it back to Paul Bayer with a slight frown on his face. Without saying anything, he opened the door to the locker room and walked in. Paul Bayer also followed him into the locker room.

Compared with Liverpool's always relaxed locker room in the past, the atmosphere in the locker room today seems very solemn.

Before such a crucial game, no one can relax, not even the biggest superstar, unless he doesn't care about this game at all, but who doesn't care about the Champions League final?

Guys! Yang Cheng came to the middle of the players, Barcelona's starting lineup is out.

After a pause, Yang Cheng chuckled, It's not too unexpected!

This sentence undoubtedly relaxed the hearts of many players, because they will find that the head coach has revealed all the other party's thoughts. Of course, who will be more serious about whether it is true or false?

Goalkeeper Valdez's defense consists of Van Blounthorst, Marcos, Puyol and Oleg, and the three players in the midfield are Iniesta, Edmilson and Xavi. The halberds are Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi.

Yang Cheng's prediction was wrong in two places. One was the right back. He thought it should be Belletti, but Rijkaard used Oleg. Needless to say, he must strengthen the defense on the right and freeze Liverpool's left. Road, because few teams can suppress Ronaldinho and Riise on the left.

Another mistake was Messi. He originally thought that Rijkaard would use the more experienced Giuly instead of Messi. After all, although the Argentine teenager is very talented, he lacks experience, and this is a Champions League final. Even if Teams like Ronaldinho and Gerrard would be nervous. How can you make a young player not nervous?

Obviously, they were a little scared! Yang Cheng said with a smile, So they made appropriate adjustments.

Having said this, Yang Cheng walked up to Ronaldinho and Rise, Do a good job, it's up to you to attack from the left!

Ronaldinho nodded, Don't worry, boss, I will definitely hit Barcelona's right wing!

Yang Cheng has no doubt about this. One-on-one, he is still very confident in his beloved disciple. No one can easily suppress Xiao Luo.

Arjan! Yang Cheng turned around, Don't be polite to your Dutch compatriot, otherwise, his experience will eat you up!

Robben nodded solemnly. In this game, he faced Van Blomhorst, a left back who is not young but still very good. However, Robben has his own advantage, which is his speed technology.

In the middle, both Gerrard and Essien should pay attention to suppressing Iniesta and Xavi. Edmilson appears more as a defender. We must try our best to keep Iniesta and Xavi behind. Cutting the midfield and the front, just like what we did against Milan, understand?

As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, Gerrard and Essien kept nodding.

Michael! Yang Cheng came to Carrick, Give yourself more confidence. You won't lose to Harvey or anyone else. No matter what the situation, you must never doubt your passing ability. …I have 100% confidence in you, and you have to have enough confidence in yourself.”

Carrick nodded.

Yang Cheng came over, grabbed his head, and patted him... Think about that pass in the FA Cup final. It was so beautiful. It was passed by you. It's unbelievable, right? You have the ability, it's just you. I don’t even know, but I know, so you have to believe me!”

Carrick nodded solemnly... I believe it, boss!

Yang Cheng nodded, turned and walked towards Glenn Johnson, who was silent and with his head lowered in the distance.

Hey, Glenn! Yang Cheng came directly to him and sat down, putting a hand on his shoulder, How old are you?

2 Boss! Glen Johnson replied.

If I remember correctly...you should be almost 22, right?

Glenn Johnson nodded, August 2 is his birthday.

Do you know? Many great stars have done a lot of amazing things at the age of 22. For example, Ronaldo... was already the best player in the World Cup at the age of 22, and was also the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year. .”

The opponent you have to face in this game, Ronaldinho, participated in the World Cup in Korea and Japan when he was 22 years old, and performed very well. I was there at the time, and I told him, you will become The most outstanding star in the world!

When Glenn Johnson heard this, he raised his head and looked at his head coach.

Now you are almost 22 years old... If you want to fight for the main position in the upcoming England national team, then you have to show your strength to everyone. I tell you, Glenn, you will become the best player in the world. The most outstanding right back starts from this game...from the moment you target Ronaldinho!

Yang Cheng stood up and looked at the young Englishman who raised his head, Remember my words, if you kill the strongest opponent, you will be the strongest!

A very important reason why Glenn Johnson is used instead of Finnan or Warnock is speed.

Finnan and Warnock are indeed very good defensively, but Yang Cheng is worried that they will not be able to keep up with Ronaldinho in terms of overall pace. The Brazilian is scurrying around like a loach, diving into any gaps. It's deadly, and he's very fast.

Moreover, as early as the pre-match training, Yang Cheng had already asked the coaching staff to arrange for Glenn Johnson to conduct targeted defensive training. The focus was not on close combat, but on Ronaldinho's cutting and passing angles. Sealed.

To be honest, if you want to kill Ronaldinho, there are really not many defenders who can do it, especially when he is in his prime.

After explaining the players' tasks, Yang Cheng returned to the middle of the locker room, looked around at the players, and was silent for a while.

He sighed and smiled wryly, Suddenly I don't know what to say anymore!

Several of the players smiled, but everyone raised their heads and looked at their head coach.

We have said what we need to say in our usual training, and we have already done what we need to do. I originally prepared a lot of things I wanted to say, some of which I saw in the movie, which I think are very Inspirational, some of which I come up with in my daily life, I find them very enjoyable, but I can’t use them now.”

Do you know why? Yang Cheng asked with a slight smile.

Some players didn't react, but some shook their heads.

Because I feel that when you come to this stadium and walk into this locker room, no one needs encouragement, no one needs encouragement, because no one wants to see with their own eyes the championship trophy that we already have in our hands. If the championship trophy is snatched away abruptly by others, you will all try your best for it, right?

Yes! Many players answered.

I believe in you, more than you, so please believe in me... Yang Cheng pointed at himself.

After a pause, he nodded seriously and said: We will definitely succeed, we will!

Remember my words, remember them under any circumstances, we will definitely succeed!

Gerrard stood up first, came to Yang Cheng with a nod, and hugged his head coach tightly.

The players also followed suit one after another, walking over one by one and hugging Yang Cheng tightly.

Two hours later, we'll drink champagne from the Saint-Bloid Cup! Yang Cheng stretched out his hand.

The players stretched out their hands one by one. After everyone was overlapped, they shouted loudly, For the championship! and then dispersed in a rush.

Liverpool's starting lineup has also come out. Unlike Barcelona's starting lineup, which has been fine-tuned, Yang Cheng's starting lineup is not too surprising...the goalkeeper is still Reina, and the defense is Riise, Vidic, and Carragher. With Glenn Johnson, the three players in the midfield are Essien, Carrick and Gerrard, and the front trident is Ronaldinho, Drogba and Robben.

It can be seen... Yang Cheng's tactics are still preparing to attack, but Rijkaard replaced Belletti with Oleg, obviously consciously wanting to strengthen the defense on the right and restrain Liverpool's left, but Oleg doesn’t have much offensive ability, and whether his defense can fill Barcelona’s weakness on the right will be tested by Liverpool’s offense!”

When the on-site commentator was talking... there was an overwhelming cheer. The players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel under the leadership of head coach Hauge. Yang Cheng also followed the team out and followed Rijkaard among the players. They said hello at the front of the passage, and then everyone returned to their places.

Before the start, in order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Champions League, UEFA specially performed a short but wonderful song and dance performance, but it could be seen that... no one's mind was on the song and dance performance. The atmosphere of the entire game was tense. Two teams The team is all ready to go...just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the game after the song and dance is over!

Sure enough, after the song and dance ended, the two teams that had finished guessing the coin separated, with Liverpool taking the lead to get the kick-off, and the two teams were waiting for the enemy.

After Terje Haug blew the whistle, Liverpool sent the ball to Drogba from Robben, starting this much-anticipated Champions League final!

And when the ball was passed three or four times in a row and returned to Carrick's feet, the England midfielder who retreated deeply did not let the ball stay at his feet... but stopped and rubbed it before sending it to Robben. The right road where it is located.

After the Dutch Peter Pan stopped the ball, he faced Van Blomhorst's defense. He turned sideways to the baseline. From the corner of his eye, he saw Glenn Johnson moving forward quickly. He immediately chose to go Dribbling the ball in the middle.

Since Ronaldinho is the only player in the Barcelona team who does not need to participate in defense...there is no defensive player following Glenn Johnson's advance, but Edmilson comes over to help Van Bronhorst. Defend Robben.

But after taking a few steps into the middle and attracting defensive pressure, Robben passed the ball behind Van Bronhorst.

I saw Glenn Johnson not hesitating at all, nor slowing down. He sprinted all the way to the opponent's bottom line at high speed along the sideline, passed Van Blomhorst, and after receiving the ball, he made a strong move, and then accelerated to catch up. In an instant, he was Arriving at the right side of Barcelona's penalty area, at this time, Drogba in the center and Ronaldinho on the left have also entered the penalty area.

Glenn Johnson didn't pause at all, and directly hit a high ball, past Marcos who came to defend him, and Puyol who was entangled with Drogba in the middle, and passed it to the back of the penalty area.

Ronaldinho blocked Oleg with his body, but Glenn Johnson's placement was not ideal, so he squeezed behind him hard, forcing Oleg to retreat, then stopped the ball with his feet, and then chased after it. Take a step forward and shoot directly.

This was an excellent opportunity, but because Ronaldinho was unable to kick off the ball immediately, Valdes reacted and threw the ball under his body, resolving Liverpool's excellent What a pity. Oh, it was a shot so close! The commentators on the scene felt a little regretful.

Strictly speaking, Ronaldinho also has some problems with stopping the ball. This is also his problem, that is, the stop is a little larger. This problem is difficult to change. It is his playing habit since he was a child, and the landing point is somewhat wrong. Unfortunately, Ronaldinho was unable to volley directly, thus delaying the opportunity to fight.

Liverpool shot a very threatening shot in just one minute of the opening. This also showed Yang Cheng's determination to attack after the opening. But Liverpool must be careful. Barcelona quickly sent a goal kick and was about to counterattack... …”

Ronaldinho doesn't need to participate in defense because Rijkaard wants him to devote all his attention to offense. This also makes Barcelona's left defense also have many problems. After all, there is one less person to protect in front. Well.

But the advantage is that once the attack starts, Ronaldinho can create a threat.

When Valdes threw the ball to Puyol, the Barcelona captain immediately passed the ball straight to the front and handed it to Iniesta. Essien immediately pressed up and Iniesta knocked the ball across to Xavi. The latter didn't stop the ball and swept the ball to Ronaldinho with his inside instep.

The Brazilian raised his foot slightly, and the ball seemed to be stuck to his feet.

Glenn Johnson blocked him behind him, preventing him from turning around easily. During this period, Liverpool's defense had been organized.

Although he was holding the ball with his back, Ronaldinho still looked very calm. There was no trace of nervousness or anxiety on his face. It was just that his back was leaning against Glenn Johnson, as if he was looking for an opportunity. , and seems to be sending back.

Glenn Johnson was blocking him from behind and watching him, especially when he saw Ronaldinho's right foot dribbling the ball together, slightly away from his body and a little away from Glenn Johnson. It's a very good steal opportunity.

The English boy almost subconsciously took a shot, but when he had just extended his foot halfway, he saw Ronaldinho knocking the ball with his heel and letting the ball go directly to the baseline along the right sideline. Then he turned Turning around, a loach whizzed past Glenn Johnson. Glenn Johnson could even see his toothy smile.

It's dangerous, Glenn=Johnson was too reckless, and he was passed by Ronaldinho as soon as he made contact!

After Ronaldinho passed the ball past Glenn Johnson, although the English turned around and chased him immediately, Ronaldinho would definitely not give him a chance to catch the ball. As soon as he got the ball, he directly hit it The ball was passed to the front point and was a low kick.

Quick low ball!

The moment Eto'o passed the ball, he got rid of Carragher and rushed straight into the penalty area like a bolt of lightning.

Hehe, let me score the goal that breaks Caesar's shadow and opens the scoring! ! .
