Chapter 1025: Barca Buster
Gao Han meets Barcelona again!
This has undoubtedly become a hot topic for major media around the world to report and hype.
Everyone knows that Gao Han was born in Barcelona, but he has never coached Barcelona. Even during his ten years of coaching, he has led the team to defeat Barcelona many times, even at the peak of Guardiola's coaching.
It can be said that Barcelona's most painful defeats fell on Gao Han, which made everyone have to admit that Gao Han is a veritable Barcelona nemesis.
So much so that the day after eliminating Atletico Madrid in Barcelona and entering the Champions League final, Daily Sports made the front page headlines, and appealed to Biranova and his team.
"Are you ready when you meet Gao Han again?"
Comments said that Paris Saint-Germain led by Gao Han is the team with the most stable performance in the Champions League this season. It performed very stably from the group stage to the knockout stage, which is related to the team's effective rotation mechanism.
On the other hand, Barcelona has been suffering from injuries this season. Even head coach Bilanova has left the team for a long time due to parotid cancer, which makes Barcelona this season difficult. The La Liga is still fighting hard with Atletico Madrid and has not established a league championship.
"Perhaps, this time we should thank Mourinho."
"It was his lethal foul tactic that made Paris Saint-Germain lose the core midfielder Yaya Toure. This player is the balancer of Paris Saint-Germain's midfield. He can attack and defend well. If he loses him, he will inevitably bring huge losses to Paris Saint-Germain's midfield, which may become the team's breakthrough point in the finals."
"But we must not be careless. Gao Han's strategy and arrangement have always been the highest level in the world. Although Yaya Toure is absent, Paris Saint-Germain also has powerful players and young players such as Matuidi, Kabaye, Pastorre and Rabiot. These are players that Gao Han admires and relies heavily on."
Daily Sports also stated that Barcelona's road to advance to the final was bumpy, and Biranova and the coaching staff must reflect and use the next nearly a month to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League final.
In contrast, the focus of Marca's attention is on Atletico Madrid and Gao Han.
The front page headlines featured the scene of Atletico Madrid centre-back Ramos, captain Torres, veteran Villa and others holding their heads and crying. The tragic scene made everyone feel uncomfortable for them from the bottom of their hearts.
The performance of the Bedding Army is excellent, and has strengthened the team in the past two or three seasons. The joining of Schneiderlin and Herrera have greatly improved Atletico Madrid's midfield strength, but they are always one step away from the championship.
The La Liga is still behind Barcelona and has reached the semi-finals in the Champions League, but it still ends in the semi-finals.
As one of the team's best players this season, Ramos felt sad about the team's experience. They fought at the Camp Nou Stadium to the last minute, but the miracle still did not happen. They were only one goal away from the Champions League final.
"In the last minute of the game stoppage time, Ramos and Torres were still roaring at their teammates on the court."
"This iron-blooded central defender who was rated as the most Atletico Madrid spirit by Gao Han. He performed very well in this game. Not only did he score the first record for the team, but he also frozen Ibrahimovic in the whole game and made beautiful defenses many times, but he still couldn't stop the team from losing."
"After the game whistle sounded, Ramos became quiet and cried so hard that he did not look like he was usually strong. Torres and Villa came over to comfort this little brother one after another."
"After Gao Han left, Atletico Madrid has not won the Champions League in ten years, and the last time he won the La Liga championship was many years ago."
"In recent years, the team has experienced the pains of building a new stadium, constantly selling players, and then has a metabolism. After the hard work of the two famous coaches, Heinx and Simeone, Atletico Madrid has now regained the strength to compete for La Liga and Champions League championships."
"It's a pity to lose the semifinals, but Simeone and his players should continue to work hard."
Compared with Atletico Madrid's tragedy, Marca still appreciates Gao Han more.
Leading five different league teams to the Champions League finals five times, Gao Han undoubtedly created a legend in European football, but what surprised all fans even more was that the stable tactical framework that Paris Saint-Germain showed this season and the familiar Gao Han's tactical philosophy are all amazing.
"The two full rounds of games totaled nearly two hundred minutes, but Real Madrid only played a good goal of ten minutes, and the rest of the time was controlled by Paris Saint-Germain."
"Perhaps Gao Han should criticize the trident in the frontcourt, especially in the second leg, Aubameyang missed several very good scoring opportunities, otherwise they would beat Real Madrid in the semi-finals."
If Marca's position is somewhat biased towards Gao Han, then as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Ass also stated in the comments on the front page that Paris Saint-Germain's victory is convincing.
"Familiar high and cold, familiar concepts, familiar ball possession rate, and familiar offensive football have brought familiar victory."
The French media has even entered the rhythm of carnival.
The team newspaper gave Gao Han a very high evaluation on the front page, believing that Gao Han will become one of the greatest head coaches in French football history, because he won the French Cup and the Champions League in advance, and he is likely to become the first triple-champion team in Ligue 1 history.
"There is no doubt that Gao Han spent two years creating a very competitive lineup for Paris Saint-Germain, which has brought this French Ligue 1 giant to a full revival."
France's Le Figaro even presented Gao Han with the Champions League championship in advance, saying in a high-profile manner, "Any team that is enemies of Gao Han is sympathetic!"
Le Monde also believed confidently that with Gao Han’s past record, “Barcelona will break the dream of Wembley Stadium.”
Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final and encountered Barcelona's news not only caused a sensation in the entire French and European football world, but even French President Hollande personally came forward to encourage Paris Saint-Germain to continue to work hard and strive to win the championship at Wembley Stadium. At the same time, it also said that he would definitely come to the scene to help.
"Yes, no doubt I am a fan of Gao Han and Paris Saint-Germain and I am very much looking forward to the final battle at Wembley Stadium in a month, and I believe that the team I support and like will be the final winner."
"Gao Han is a magical head coach. He comes from the magical China and has made indelible contributions to Paris Saint-Germain and French football."
However, when the world was full of praise, Gao Han gave his assistant to Saint-Germain Leon, a French celebrity Zidane posed a big problem.
…………
…………
"Tell me, if it were you, how would you play in the Champions League final?"
Zidane sat in Gao Han’s office, frowning like a mountain, and was filled with trouble.
He originally thought Gao Han called him over to explain what he would do, but he didn't expect that he would have such a big problem, which was a bit difficult for him.
After all, that is the Champions League final!
In his life, Zidane has only experienced three Champions League finals, and they are all still a player. However, it is a bit ashamed. Unlike Gao Han's record of winning, Zidane's winning rate in the Champions League final is not high.
The first two times were participated as a Juventus player. At that time, the Zebras reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons. The year before Zidane joined, Juventus defeated Ajax to win the championship with a penalty kick, but in the following two years, they first lost to Dortmund of Heathfield, and then lost to Real Madrid of Heinx by zero to one.
This has also led to many rumors that Zidane was unreliable at critical moments and failed to support Juventus' midfield and frontcourt.
Fortunately, after joining Real Madrid, he defeated Leverkusen in the Champions League final, and Zidane also scored the most beautiful kick from the Sky Flying Fairy in his career, which made many people begin to forget the painful experience of losing two previous Champions League finals.
But Zidane is really confused about how to play in the Champions League final.
Yaya Toure is destined to be absent, which will cause irreparable losses to Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder. How to fill the vacancy left by Yaya Toure has become the first problem facing Zidane.
Both Kabaye and Pastore can play, and both players are quite suitable. Judging from their performance in the past two seasons, they can greatly improve the team's ball control after they appear, but what should they do if they defend?
Pirlo is not young anymore and has weak defense ability. Originally, Yaya Toure was supporting and covering the crowd. If Kabaye and Pastore were at this time, they might have passed and controlled the ball, but the defense would definitely be very bad.
More importantly, if you compete in passing and controlling, can Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona?
Even this season, Barcelona's most criticized style of pass and control is not their way of playing, but their offense is not sharp enough and their oppression is not as good as before, which has led to problems with their offensive end and defense.
If Paris Saint-Germain competes with Barcelona for passing and controlling, it will probably be hopeless.
Then go to Matuidi?
This player is good at attacking and defending. When Yaya Toure was absent, he served as deputy many times to assist Pirlo. He has experience and performed well. He also has the ability to get the ball and take the ball. He should be the safest candidate.
It was at this moment that Zidane suddenly realized that it was not difficult to make a choice, because Gao Han had repeatedly practiced and trained many possible situations in the past two years. Before the competition, the choice that should have been difficult became very easy.
For example, using Matuidi to add Yaya Toure's position is the best example.
This made Zidane admire Gao Han even more.
But with the candidates, the key is how to play next.
It is definitely not possible to compete in passing and controlling, and retreating is not the style of Paris Saint-Germain, so there is only one choice.
Zidane's eyes flashed with a hint of color, but soon frowned again and thought hard, trying to think more carefully.
Gao Han saw the whole process of thinking. He sat silently by the side, as if he was reading a newspaper, but in fact he was always paying attention to Zidane's movements.
When he saw Zidane's face revealing his face, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and began to look at the newspaper in his hand intently.
From the pages of the largest newspaper in France, I saw commentary articles that praised me very much, especially when even the French president came forward to praise me, which was a very fulfilling thing.
Zidane finally breathed a sigh of relief after thinking hard for a long time and looked up at Gao Han.
