v2 Chapter 158： The three most dangerous people [fourth more vomiting blood, please subscribe to the monthly ticket]

"In addition to the three times I personally experienced, Ajax reached the UEFA Champions League final twice in 1995 and 1996, the first time at the end of the game, defeating AC Milan with the cruel kill . "

"The second time we lost a goal, but veteran Litmanen equalized the score for us. In the end, the two sides had a one-to-one draw in the 120-minute game, but unfortunately lost to the penalty shootout. Juventus. "

At the end, Ronald Coman summarized.

"Throughout these UEFA Champions League finals, there is no doubt that players need to have a steel-like will and a never-lost fighting spirit, regardless of any unexpected situations in the game, they can stabilize their minds and focus on the game. "

After Ronald Coleman, the only veteran in the team who had experienced the Champions League final, Litmanen also appeared, describing the two Champions League finals he had personally experienced, one win and one loss. Meaning, because the two opponents ac Milan and Juventus are very good at defending.

Veteran Litmanen has basically decided to leave Ajax after the end of the season, but he has not made a good decision whether to retire or return to Finland for retirement.

For Ajax's Champions League final against AC Milan in 1995, Litmanen said the most about defense and mentality. He believes that the team can win in the end, without strong defense and a stable mentality.

In the Champions League the following year, Litmanen ’s evaluation was also quite high. He believes that Ajax has had many opportunities in the regular game, but Juventus goalkeeper Peruzzi has performed quite well, frequently in front of the goal Rescue, and in the second half, Ajax was almost beaten by Juventus.

"Edgar Davis is the best player in the game. It is his ubiquitous running and defense that guarantees our defense. In the final penalty shootout, he is also the first to come forward. The penalty, but unfortunately, his penalty was saved by Peruzi. "

Everyone on the scene was able to understand how much pressure the first player to take the penalty kick after a 120-minute hard game, and Davis even lost the penalty. One can imagine the Dutch wild boar at that time How frustrated.

"All of us have never blamed Davis. In fact, it is also because of his excellent performance in the Champions League final that convinced Juventus that his strength and fighting spirit will only be seriously injured in him and at the same time in AC Milan. In a downturn, he was resolutely introduced. "

"No one can predict the outcome of the game, as if we never knew that if Ovimas was not injured, could we beat Juventus and successfully defend the Champions League, and we have no way to judge Davis if he is penalized With the penalty kick, whether we will eventually win, but all of us have tried our best. "

"We have regrets, but no guilt."

Yang Yang sat in the player group, silently watching the veteran, listening to his words, an idiom appeared in his mind, and he was worthy of conscience.

Perhaps this is what Litmanen wants to convey.

…………

Germany, 30 km east of Gelsenkirchen, Castrop-Rauxel.

European football has always been superstitious, and Porto is no exception.

They deduced from the various data before the game that 26 was the most favorable data for Porto, so they decided to carry this lucky to the end. Even the hotel they stayed in before the game specially chose the distance from Gelsenkirchen II. Sixteen kilometers.

The reason for choosing this hotel is that the decoration of the hotel from the inside to the outside is based on blue theme, including curtains, tablecloths, tableware, carpets, etc. It is mainly blue, which is also the same as Porto The colors match very well.

Not only that, Porto has packaged the entire hotel, the player is a room for one person, Mourinho is a separate suite, and more interestingly, Chelsea came here a year ago and also stayed at this hotel, Mourinho chose The single room happened to be the room of Chelsea coach Ranieri.

Not long ago, the British media took the lead in wearing *** Turtu coach Mourinho on the yacht to meet Chelsea boss Abramovich. Everyone unanimously concluded that the Portuguese will switch to Chelsea this summer to replace Ranieri .

At this time, Mourinho stayed in a single room in the hotel where Ranieri had stayed. Is this a coincidence or deliberate?

The Porto coaching staff also attached great importance to this Champions League final. They also arrived in Germany two days in advance and went to a closed park for secret training the next day.

After returning to the hotel, having lunch and taking a short break, Mourinho held the most important meeting before the game. At the meeting, he announced the team's list and carefully prepared his own battle plan.

For Ajax, Mourinho has a very clear understanding. He is well aware of the Dutch team's ability on the offensive end and the advantage of passing the ball in the midfield, but he also mentioned the Ajax defense. Weaknesses and deficiencies.

"We are a team, a collective, we can go so far because we fight like a collective in every game, and this time we have to do the same."

"Our advantage lies in defense. As long as we are as focused as before, I believe that we can block Ajax's offense, and as long as we block their offensive, their back line will definitely show flaws, that is us Opportunities are also our best. "

Mourinho is like a charismatic speaker. He succeeded in making everyone in the conference room believe him.

In fact, he really brought everyone to Gelsenkirchen, and there is nothing more convincing than that.

"There are three players in Ajax. Everyone must pay attention. One is their captain Van der Vaart. If I guess right, he should appear in the midfield in this game, losing Garasek, Ajak. Sisi wants to seize the ball and dominate the game. Van der Vaart and Sneijder are good choices in the midfield. "

"Our midfielder must be able to hold back and not allow him to get close to our penalty area. He is a very threatening player, especially when he scores from the back. Sneijder is also very good in this regard. We Must pay attention to the midfield and beware of this at any time. "

The players on the opposite side nodded.

"The other one is center Ibrahimovic. He is very tall, strong, and capable of confrontation, but his skills are very delicate. This is a very difficult center, and our central defender obviously wants to Shorter than him. "

Carvalho is 1.82 meters tall, and Captain Jorge Costa is 1.88 meters tall, both shorter than Ibrahimovic.

"Therefore, the two central defenders must pay attention. There is no fluke. The Swede must be firmly stared at the whole game. He cannot be given the slightest chance, otherwise he will definitely give us painful lessons."

Captains Jorge Costa and Carvalho are also aware of the importance of this game and the difficulty of defending Ibrahimović. They both nodded, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps.

"The last one is the 99th, Yang Yang."

Mourinho said this, everyone in the conference room was a little stunned.

The seventeen-year-old teenager?

Seeing the reactions of the players, Mourinho knows, "I know what everyone thinks, a 17-year-old teenager, our coaching staff has carefully analyzed his characteristics before, thinking that his advantage lies only in the edge Road breaks and crosses, at best, is a good penalty for positioning in the frontcourt, but stopping and passing are bad, right? "

Everyone nodded unanimously, this is indeed the case.

In Porto's coaching staff, Yang Yang's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, such players are not difficult to defend.

For example, the strategy given by Mourinho is to let the left-back Valent stay close to Yang Yang, even if he can't stop him from taking the ball, it won't make him easy, especially not give him space to let him start with the ball.

In fact, it's that simple to defend Yang Yang.

"But one thing I want to remind everyone is, why has Yang Yang played Ajax's offensive every time he came off the bench in the past six months? Let this Dutch team release their offensive ability?"

Everyone was a little dazed and shook their heads.

"Because Ajax with Yang Yang is the real and the most terrible Ajax, they will play better, sharper and have a smoother attack than without Yang Yang, so we must It ’s worth noting that I can even hope that he ca n’t finish the game if he can. ”

Many players present, especially left-back Valent heard this, his eyes lit up.

Mourinho turned sharply and shook his head with a wry smile: "But it is a pity that he is very good now, so we have to beware of him."

Speaking of which, Mourinho turned and looked at Nuno Valent, "Nuno, if Ajax arranges for Yang Yang, it must be an offensive, you have to concentrate on defense, if Coman arranges him to substitute I ask you, no matter what the score was at the time and the situation, you must return it to me. "

"In a word, as long as Yang Yang is on the court for a second, you have to stare to him thoroughly. This is the only task I gave you, and you do n’t have to worry about anything else."

Nuno Valent nodded solemnly, "I see."

"Relax." Mourinho laughed when he saw that Valent was a little serious. "After all, he was only seventeen, which is why Ronald Coman did not arrange him. One A 17-year-old kid is easy to deal with. "

Nuno Valent was thirty years old by September. He played for Sporting Lisbon before, but he was not trusted and could only occasionally play as a substitute. Later he came to Leiria and played under Mourinho. The performance was excellent. After Mourinho switched to Porto, he was dug from Leiria to Porto at the first time, which created his glory.

The UEFA Champions League last season, this season reached the UEFA Champions League final, this is Nuo Valent did not dare to imagine any achievements before, and he also entered the Portuguese national team this summer, preparing for the local European Cup.

"Relax, I won't give him any chance." Valent assured.
