The strongest winger

Chapter 1106 On the Eve of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League Final
"...I know that many players here don't want to recall these shots in the camera, but I have to let you watch them, and you yourself must ask, even if you are forced, to face up to your past mistakes, because these highlights are of great significance. We can find a way to beat Valencia in it, so you have to put your mind right and take the past seriously, so that we can sum up successful experiences from failures!"

Benitez has never been a coach who would incite players' emotions. He relied more on his silent efforts to influence players, just like the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final. Therefore, as his words blurted out, the attention of the Real Madrid stars sitting opposite him became more and more serious.

"Valencia is great, but we are not bad! Look at our lineup. Igor is currently the best goalkeeper in the world. Zhang is recognized as the best right-back this season. Marcelo is also the same. He performed very well at the left-back position... Look at Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are called the BBC combination by the media. You are all the best players in the world, so we must have the courage to face failure..."

With the mention of Benitez, the fighting spirit of Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema gradually began to rise, especially Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, two stars from the Premier League, they seem to have a natural understanding.

Immediately afterwards, they looked at each other, and saw a trace of burning in each other's eyes, and their desire to win the game became stronger and stronger, and finally... they hid in their eyes again, and returned their attention to the head coach Benitez.

"Actually, there is only one thing I want to express. Failure does not mean shame. It only means that Valencia's overall performance in the past games was better than yours. So what we need to do is to use the last time to make more preparations. The details determine success or failure. As long as we find Valencia's loopholes in these edited highlights, it will increase our chances of winning. Think about our progress this season..."

Having said that, Benitez glanced at the players from the corner of his eye, saw the players' fighting spirit rise, the smile quietly showing on the corner of his mouth quickly dissipated, and returned his attention to the tactical explanation again.

This time, his explanation of the tactics was very detailed and targeted. He divided the 10-minute game into two sections, and the 45-minute game was divided into nine sections by him, with detailed explanations every 5 minutes...

The former Real Madrid superstar Zidane, who became an assistant coach, listened to Benitez's breakdown of game tactics and various filings. He felt in his heart: "If we still can't beat Valencia, it really means that Valencia is impeccable."

At the same time, Zidane looked at the hot-blooded Aiello in the highlights, and felt extremely dissatisfied with the Real Madrid executives. At the beginning, he recommended Aiello to the senior management, but the chairman Florentino did not take action for a long time, which eventually led to the failure of the introduction...

While Benitez was explaining techniques and tactics to Real Madrid players in the hotel conference room, Italian tactician Carlo Ancelotti also explained the techniques and tactics of the final to the players in the hotel where he stayed in Valencia.

He knows that there is no shortcut to success, and if he wants to continue his glory, he must work harder, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"...Real Madrid will definitely follow their effective four-two-three-one formation in this final, with Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo on the two wings, Benzema in the center, Xavi Alonso and Khedira in the midfield, and Di Maria in the midfield to break through and speed up the attack... I think Benitez must focus on solid defense and use the speed of the two wings to counterattack quickly, so we must pay attention to the success rate of the pass...But we must also grasp the limited opportunities and score goals as soon as possible. Time is our chance!"

Ancelotti's tactics were obviously influenced by the last confrontation between the two teams, and he had a targeted deployment against Real Madrid's quick counterattack, but he did not limit Valencia's unique midfield creativity, and at the same time made the most of the team's possession advantage to control the game.

In the end, Ancelotti turned his attention to Captain Aiello. He said: "Ai, you are the captain, and even more the soul, and you are our biggest threat to Real Madrid. So my request for you in the game the day after tomorrow is very simple. I allow you not to return to defense, and you can focus more on offense..."

While listening to Ancelotti's tactical explanation, Ai Luo also felt the eyes of his teammates. He nodded firmly and said, "I can do it before, and I can do it now, and it will be the same in the future!"

Everyone can feel Ai Luo's self-confidence. Unknowingly, Ai Luo's self-confidence has already infected every teammate in the team, allowing them to have more confidence in the game, so as to exert 100% or even 120% combat effectiveness.

In many cases, a soul character should have such an effect, and Ai Luo fully embodies this effect...

As the time for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final draws closer, football fans are getting more and more excited.

In addition, the practitioners of the football media are also the same. The reports on the day of the final are all about Valencia and Real Madrid. As the best club in the last century and the best club in this century so far, it is self-evident that the confrontation in the Champions League final has attracted attention.

While surrounding Valencia and Real Madrid, the team's stars are also in media reports, especially the comparison between Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo and Valencia's star Aiello.

In the past countless seasons, from the Premier League to La Liga, except for the serious injury of Aiello in the 2009-2010 season, he has always been ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, so this final is very confident for Valencia fans.

It is worth mentioning that this final is of great significance to Chinese fans. After the 2012-13 season, they will see Ai Luo and Feng Xiaoting confront each other, and again in the 2013-14 season, they will see Ai Luo and Zhang Linpeng confront each other...

On the day of the game, there was still nearly half a day before the start of the game. There were many fans outside the Stadium of Light in Lisbon who arrived early to feel the atmosphere of the UEFA Champions League final infiltrated from the future time and space.

There are whites, blacks, and yellows. The football game brings together countless people. It really deserves the title of the world's number one sport.
