Chapter 573

"I got it!"

At Chelsea's Harrington training ground, Jose's chief assistant coach boas walked into the manager's office and yelled excitedly at the back of his desk computer.

Some of the hair color of the white Jose looked up, looking at the right-hand man approaching, but frowned.

It took him three days to get the answer he wanted, which was too inefficient.

"Where is it?" Asked Jose in a deep voice.

"It's said that a golf club in Athens, Greece, which is dozens of kilometers away from the suburbs, has contracted the whole club and arrived in Athens four days ahead of schedule. Not only did the media reporters not get the news, but even the fans didn't know. The confidentiality work is quite strict."

"The brow of Mu Ni Ao such as mountain is more tight," unexpectedly advanced 4 days went to Athens

This is not a good phenomenon.

As early as May 12, Chelsea finished the last round of the Premier League. That is to say, from the Premier League to the Champions League final, the Blues have ten days to prepare and do everything they can to prepare.

In contrast, inter are in a much worse situation. At least they have to be distracted from the Serie A and Coppa Italia finals against Rome, so in terms of preparation, Chelsea are slightly ahead.

But this is only one aspect. On the other hand, it is easier for Inter to maintain and adjust their form.

As long as ten days without a game, it is also a big test for Jose and the coaching staff, so during the preparation period, he secretly organized an internal game, which is a real 90 minute regular game.

He tried to do his best in everything he could think of before the match. However, when he was planning to go to Athens, it was suddenly revealed by the media two days ago that the pinetina training base of Inter Milan had already been deserted, and there was not even one player in the first team.

This shocked the media and fans all over Europe and even the world.

The official of Inter Milan gave a quick reply. The team set out ahead of time and went to the training ground.

But in the end where training, inter did not give a specific statement.

Omnipresent media reporters immediately dug three feet to dig out the hiding place of Inter Milan, but they failed to find it, which surprised and worried the distant London manager.

The battle is coming, but the opponent suddenly gives you such a hand. It's a personal anxiety.

What's more, this time his opponent is still cold.

"According to my guess, they should have gone ahead of time to get familiar with Athens, and there was less back and forth." Boas guessed.

It's not hard to guess that Jose nodded.

In fact, he had such an idea before, and he also communicated with the club. On the one hand, he avoided reporters and concentrated on preparing for the war. On the other hand, he also considered that the facilities of Harrington training ground were really not good enough.

At that time, he chose a coastal city in southern Spain with a climate very close to Athens.

However, the management finally considered the budget, thought that the team's 10 day overseas training cost was very large, and finally rejected the proposal of Jose, believing that it was more practical to concentrate on preparing in London.

What's more, Jose needs to play an internal game in the middle of training.

Thinking of this, he sighed, erasing all kinds of worries and looking back at boas.

"The media reporter has received the news. Is there anyone to explore?"

"Why not?" Boas smile, media reporters are all pervasive, "however, all were Golf Club security block in the door, heard that there are some reporters want to mix in, the result was arrested and sent to the police station."

He can imagine the tactics of those reporters and the scene of them being taken to the police station. He sneered with disdain in his heart. He despised those reporters who made waves.

But alpine and international Mirant chose such a place to prepare for war, but he had to pay attention to it.

For Chelsea, whether they are playing inter or Atletico Madrid, there is only one way to go, that is to fight for the encirclement, because physical fitness and physical confrontation are the strengths of Chelsea and the weaknesses of their opponents.

No one in the world should be stupid enough to collide with the opponent's advantage with his own weakness, right?

But playing Inter is totally different from playing Atletico Madrid.

Heinks is more conservative than Alpine in essence, and is more balanced in attack and defense. Alpine seems to be very balanced, but in fact he is extremely infatuated with attack. He belongs to the coach who wants to hold the initiative firmly in his hand.

What's more, he can always defeat his opponent with attack.

Therefore, for some time in the past, the defensive tactics that Chelsea focused on training were not the same as when they played Atletico Madrid, but they paid more attention to the compactness of the overall formation, and even preferred to give up the attack for the sake of defense.

It's better for people outside to call him conservative or anti football, but as a professional head coach, he knows that only in this way can he defeat Gao, and he will not hesitate to insist.

"When it comes to Yaya Toure in the semi-final, there is a flash in his eyes.

That player is also the type that he appreciates very much, but he was used by the cold.

This season, Gao used Yaya Toure as the team's midfield, but his position was flexible, and he often adjusted according to the opponent's different situation. However, in general, he played at the back of the opponent's midfield, and even got the ball at the front of the penalty area when attacking.

In the top area of the arc, Yaya Toure's ability of holding and making the ball is excellent.

Playing AC Milan, playing Manchester United, Yaya Toure is to bear the burden of suppressing the other side's organizational midfield, Pirlo and Carrick are abhorrent of him, so, the high cold arrangement Yaya Toure to play Makelele this point, Jose has no doubt.

"Then we'll shrink the formation, let Ballack and Lampard come back and protect Makelele."

Makelele is very important to Chelsea.

At that time, when he joined the blues, he moved a lot of players, but only four of them didn't dare move.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is the backbone of the team's defence, he dare not move, Terry and Lampard are the local core of the team, dressing room boss, Jose also dare not move, the last one is Makelele.

However, in the past two or three years, van der Sar's performance can no longer be reassuring. As early as in the summer when he was transferred, he had the idea to replace him, while the Dutchman himself intended to leave Chelsea, but he was delayed for various reasons.

But in any case, protecting Makelele is the only option for Jose.

At least, Mikel is far from replacing Makelele.

"I don't care much about midfield. I'm most worried about right back

"Paul Ferreira?"

"Well, he can't stop Cristiano Ronaldo."

"But recently, isn't Cristiano Ronaldo in bad condition? The media and the fans are scolding him to death. Do you think he can adjust this period of time? " Boas asked inexplicably.

Jose looked at his assistant and shook his head with a smile. He was inexperienced after all.

"I tell you, Cristiano Ronaldo is not in bad condition. On the contrary, he is the best one in the inter team. It's just that he is heavily watched by his opponents in the game and he likes to take the ball too much. That's why he seems to make frequent mistakes and not in good condition."

At this point, he reminded his assistant, "do you think about the red card of avelloa and Panucci? Finnan had cramps before the end of the game and almost cried after the game. What's the matter? "

Boas is out of language.

When he was awakened by this, he really found that things didn't seem like what the media and fans said.

They are just staring at goals and assists, but in the game, Cristiano Ronaldo's possession of the ball and breakthrough, the impact and harassment on the other side's defense, that can not be summarized by simple data.

Finnan is a famous player in the Premier League, and Panucci is also an experienced veteran. It goes without saying how strong these two players are.

Avelloa is the least well-known of the three, but he is in the Liverpool game against Chelsea, completely fixed on Robben's right back, on this point, boas is difficult to ignore his defensive ability.

But these three players in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, probably can only be regarded as the standard, but also can not help but get a red card, it can be seen how good the Portuguese strength.

"Not only Cristiano Ronaldo, but also Ibrahimovic, Adriano and Yaya Toure. Inter are a club of freaks "He said angrily.

These four players should have technique, body and impact. They should not be too fierce.

Let's put it this way. These four guys are hard and soft.

"To defend them, we have to rely on the whole, not on our own. Moreover, Ferreira can't defend Cristiano Ronaldo."

Boas was startled. "So what?"

With a squint in his eyes and a firm look to the front, he has made a decision.

Athens, Greece, 23 May 2007.

This legendary city is back in the eyes of the world because of this Champions League final.

In the past two days, more than 60000 fans have poured into Athens and occupied the streets of Athens.

In particular, on the 23rd, all the fans were in place, and the battle was imminent. The fans of the two teams were at daggers drawn, and the whole city was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere of the final.

A bus with the body painted in the color of Inter Milan team is driving fast on the road from the suburb to the Olympic Stadium. Along the way, we can see the flags representing the two final teams rapidly retrogressing. The stars of Inter Milan and Chelsea have boarded the billboards in the street, with the momentum of never turning back until they kill their opponents.

When the bus drove out of the viaduct and into the street to the Olympic Stadium, countless fans seemed to come out of the ground and rush up crazily. Through the window, they kept shouting the names of the head coach and players and all kinds of slogans to encourage the team.

The closer you get to the Olympic Stadium, the more fans you have and the slower you are going.

So slow that everyone in the car can make eye contact with the fans outside the car.

Tonight, everyone, fans and players, has only one goal.

Leave Athens with victory!
