Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 254 Different defensive counterattacks

It is difficult to describe Mourinho with a tall and tall figure. If he is in a crowd that does not know him, he will look very ordinary, but six years ago when Giuly was injured and Roten was completely frozen by Ferreira At night, Mourinho changed from a madman to a special one. In the green world, no matter how ordinary he looks, he will always be the one who attracts attention and is different.

When Mourinho, who was also wearing a suit with the Inter Milan team logo, took the initiative to walk towards Situ Yunbing, the cameras on the sidelines focused on the two coaches.

It is rare for coaches to shake hands with each other after this kind of final. Even if they do, the mentality is already very different. The winning side may express consolation, while the losing side just wants to go through the motions and disappear quickly.

And the handshake before the game is more egalitarian.

Although Mourinho may appear arrogant or sharp in ordinary games, he often has a calm and calm image in the finals of major events.

He was neither domineering nor pompous, and he shook hands with Situ Yunbing before the match in a ceremonial manner. The two looked at each other, and they both saw absolute calm in the other's unhappy eyes. They nodded in tacit understanding and let go , each went to the coach command area.

Perhaps Mourinho will find it ridiculous.

Six years ago, he won the Champions League at the age of 41. After that, people still call him "Young Marshal Mourinho". In terms of age, he is worthy of being a young marshal.

Even if he had an enmity with Barcelona's Rijkaard in the European arena, he was one year younger than Rijkaard.

But 5 years later, Guardiola became the Champions League champion coach at the age of 38, setting a new age record for the Champions League champion coach, and Mourinho was 46 years old at this time.

Now, Mourinho is 47 years old, but today he looks like he is about 40 years old, but facing Situ Yunbing, who is not yet 24 years old, Mourinho may really feel that he has completely matched with the "young marshal". "Farewell to that title!

The Bernabéu was full of seats, the lights in the stands were flickering, and the fans of the two teams waved their flags, as if they were pointing the direction in an ocean, marching towards the other shore.

Sigrid and his sisters stood in the VIP seats and started cheering for Monaco.

Moratti and Inter Milan's high-level personnel stood in the box and looked down at the stadium with a serious expression.

Three boxes away from their box, Prince Albert waited for the game with a smile on his face along with members of the Monaco royal family and Monaco president Debondin.

For Monaco, maybe their pressure is less than that of Inter Milan. Although everyone expects the same championship, Inter Milan has the opportunity today after 20 years of crazy investment. Monaco is more like China. I won the lottery, I didn't expect much yesterday, and today I suddenly found out that I was only one number away from the first prize.

So the board of the Monaco club actually enjoyed this feast even more. They were looking forward to it, but they were already satisfied. The record of the team led by Situ Yunbing was enough for them to proudly look around all the clubs in France with their jaws raised.

In the stands, a small number of fans from China raised the five-star red flag and cheering slogans, which read in Chinese: Chinese young coach, pointing to the peak!

The camera kept scanning different positions in the stands, and some celebrities from the two European football clubs appeared in the stands.

Roma, the old Monaco goalkeeper who retired last summer, Henry Trezeguet, who played for Monaco in the past.
There are also many former Inter Milan celebrities.

The referee team from England was led by the referee Weber. He took the football on the stage from the side when he passed the Big Ears Cup.

The noise at the Bernabéu was loud, and the cheers from the fans of the two teams converged into a loud enough to make people feel dizzy.

The starting players of the two teams enter the field holding their ball boys, and the battle at the pinnacle of European football is about to start!
"Everyone in the audience, good evening! The final of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League will be staged as scheduled tonight!

We live broadcasted and commented on this world-renowned UEFA Champions League final at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. More than 200 countries and regions around the world will broadcast this game in real time. There is no doubt that this game represents the club level of European football this season The highest level of confrontation!

Some viewers may think that Monaco and Inter Milan cannot support my statement, but let's see which opponents these two pairs have eliminated to advance to the Champions League final, and then we will judge.

Since Monaco defeated Atletico Madrid and Porto in the group stage to advance to the top 16, they have eliminated Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich to advance to the final. In these 6 knockout games, they have 5 wins and 1 loss. Ford lost to Manchester United, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Monaco is a giant killer.

Inter Milan beat Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev in the group stage to advance to the round of 16. It is worth mentioning that they ranked second in the group stage. Barcelona drew away from the two games against Inter Milan and won at home. Inter Milan.

In the knockout round, Inter Milan defeated Chelsea at home and away, and CSKA Moscow at home and away, and then they met Barcelona again in the semi-finals. They defeated Barcelona 3:1 at home in the first round and 0:1 at Camp Nou in the second round. Lost but eliminated the defending champion Barcelona to advance to the final!

If it is said that Monaco and Inter Milan cannot represent the highest level of European football clubs, then a problem arises. The two teams have eliminated Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​​​Chelsea. May I ask, who else is there in European football? Can the club be stronger than these 5 clubs?It makes people wonder: if Monaco or Inter Milan meet who may be eliminated!
there is none left!
The giants of European football have been eliminated by these two teams respectively, so they deserved to enter the final!
Both teams are good at playing defensive counterattacks in terms of style of play, so the European media generally believe that this season is another victory for defensive football after the 0304 season!
You must know that in the past five seasons, the teams that won the Champions League are not conservatives. Liverpool in 05, Barcelona in 06, AC Milan in 07, Manchester United in 08, Barcelona last year, even AC Milan can't be as thorough as the two teams' defensive counterattacks, and they have almost brought the essence to the extreme!

This has also aroused concerns from the media. They worry that this final will become boring, boring, and boring, and maybe it will eventually depend on a penalty shootout to decide the winner.

They will even stimulate the coaches of the two teams, mocking Mourinho and Situ Yunbing for not being proactive in attacking in the final.

Whether it will happen or not, we can only wait and see.

The following are the starting lineups of the two teams.

Monaco started today with 442.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonghen, Moreau.

Midfielders: Witsel, Perez, Nkuru, Matic.

Forwards: Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Before the game, people doubted whether Suarez could start the game. It seems that Situ Yunbing did not set off smoke bombs. He said before the game that Suarez would appear, not only appeared, but also started. This is a bold and risky decision, because After Suarez returned from injury, there was no game to test and restore his state. What is even more surprising is that Situ Yunbing actually put Falcao on the bench, perhaps choosing to remove a team to strengthen defense. forward, but whether Falcao should be placed on the bench is debatable.

There were relatively no surprises in Inter Milan's starting lineup. Motta was suspended and missed the start, and Mourinho's formation was relatively untroubled.

Inter Milan starting 4231.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defenders: Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu.

Midfielders: Pandev, Zanetti, Sneijder, Cambiasso, Eto'o.

Forward: Diego Milito.

Although the bench lineups of the two teams are not luxurious, Inter Milan still has more players who can be used. After all, it is a giant in Serie A. On the bench, we saw Muntari, Balotelli, Stankovic, Cordoba, Materazzi and others, only Falcao is trustworthy on the bench for Monaco. Whether the other players are well-known or experienced in big scenes, it seems that it is difficult for the coach to Take a gamble at the critical moment.

But as far as the starting lineup is concerned, the two teams can really roll up their sleeves and do a big job. Inter Milan is an old player, while Monaco is a rookie. The former is old and the latter is sharp. This Champions League final is definitely worth looking forward to! "

Inter Milan's starting lineup is really no secret at all, and it is the strongest in the range of choices!
So Situ Yunbing was not surprised at all, but Mourinho had to give Situ Yunbing a high look.

It is rare to be able to put Falcao on the bench in the Champions League final!
Suarez is the core of the striker, and it is true that he is the hero, but Falcao's contribution is not small. Without him, Monaco would not have reached the final!

So the emotional rationale for playing Suarez and putting Falcao on the bench are in conflict.

It can only be explained that Situ Yunbing has his own tactical considerations for the game, or it is better to keep a card than to keep nothing.

Formation is often one of the basis for deciding the style of play. Monaco played Witsel and did not play Falcao. It is obvious to strengthen the midfield defense, rather than seeking any unexpected changes or unexpected tactics in the midfield attack.

If it is said that Inter Milan has built a steel defense line without weakening the offense and ensuring a balanced offensive configuration, the players themselves are strong enough to build a steel defense, then Monaco weakens the offense more often and relies on numerical advantages to strengthen the defense and bring counterattacks. The line of defense required by tactics.

The most intuitive comparison is that Monaco has one less striker than the opponent, and at the same time, Monaco's midfielder also has one more defensive player in the role than the opponent.

Inter Milan's Eto'o and Milito are forwards, and Monaco's Gareth Bale and Suarez are also forwards, but compared with Witsel and Pandev, it is clear that Witsel's defensive effect is stronger. Ned and Monaco's other three midfielders are all defensive.

Superficially speaking, the two teams are both representative defensive and counterattack teams, but when it comes to details, there is a big difference between the two teams!
