Psychological quality is not only an important factor in measuring a player's strength level, but also an important basis for evaluating a head coach's coaching ability.

The football field is changing rapidly, and unexpected changes may occur at any time; careful preparation and planning before the game are also tests for the head coach's ability to make decisions and make choices; facing wins and losses after the game tests the determination of a head coach.

And these are important manifestations of psychological quality.

As a legendary superstar of the past, Zidane's psychological quality naturally needs no further explanation, but in the face of the two finals of the King's Cup and the Champions League, he was a little nervous, especially since he had just suffered a setback in the league and was naturally affected.

The final of the King's Cup of del Rey last season was in early April. After Chinatown lost to Atletico Madrid, the league was affected, but there is still enough time to adjust. However, this season is different. The King's Cup final and the Champions League final are only one week apart, and there are no other events in between. If the King's Cup final is lost first, it will inevitably have an impact on the Champions League final a week later.

Therefore, Zidane's confusion and lack of confidence are understandable.

"Let me tell me what I think." Gao Han smiled softly.

Everyone, including Zidane and Marklele, immediately looked at Gao Han.

After he withdrew from the professional league, he has become less and less involved in the team's technical and tactical aspects and game preparations. Even if he communicates privately with Zidane, he is still giving advice and rarely speaking in front of so many people like now.

But since he wants to express his thoughts, everyone else can only listen.

This is Gao Han’s current position in Chinatown and even European football.

Gao Han had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was not facing two finals at all, but an insignificant friendly match, giving people a very calm and elegant feeling.

"One hundred and twenty-three goals have greatly praised our frontcourt offensive players this season. Needless to say, Hazard is expected to be at least the top three in the Golden Ball Awards this year, and there is hope even if it takes a step forward. Firmino and Griezmann are now Europe's first-class attackers and superstar players."

Everyone nodded at the same time. The team's playing style has indeed led to the rise of these offensive players.

"But my ideas may be a little different from everyone. I think the biggest change of the team this season is in the midfield, especially the two that are more advanced in the three midfield configurations. In the entire tactical framework of the team, they have very high degrees of freedom."

Many people showed a deep thought when they heard this, and only Zidane nodded silently.

He is the creator of the team's tactical style, and he certainly knows what Gao Han said.

"The birth of this style of play should have originated from the game where we beat Barcelona three-to-one at home. We not only defeated our opponents in the result, but also completely suppressed Barcelona on the scene. I believe that it was that game that gave us confidence, so the coaching staff decided to continue digging deeper in this direction."

When Zidane heard this, he smiled bitterly and nodded, "You are right, that's true."

He really felt like he was seen through by Gao Han.

"Isco and De Bruyne are at the top of the drag-back midfielder. The two players' activity areas are more aimed at the opponent's two rib areas. Barcelona is a single midfielder. Isco and De Bruyne have strong ability to drive and attack the ball. They will pull in and actively find three offensive players in the frontcourt to cooperate. This is the main reason why we completely suppress Barcelona."

Zidane and Marklele looked at each other, and both eyes flashed with admiration.

Although Gao Han left the front-line coaching seat, his eyesight was better than before.

Perhaps this has a lot to do with his bystander Qing, but no matter what, he revealed the key to Chinatown's victory in one sentence.

"After that, you start to try this style of play, using the two central advanceers to dribble and pass in the rib area to create a threat and disrupt the opponent's defense line, but soon you find that when the opponent is defending intensively, this style of play is ineffective, so you continue to dig forward and further liberate the two central advanceers."

"When the team advances to the opponent's 30-meter area, when the opponent takes intensive defense and our rib attack is blocked, the two central defenders will be more free, and even more often, they will pull to the side, just like Isco and Hazard cooperate on the left, and they even take on the role of winger."

"The two central defenders suddenly pulled to the outside, and the two wingers inserted into the inside, which can effectively pull the opponent's defense line. Whether it is Isco and De Bruyne, Pogba and Cork, they can avoid the opponent's heavy troops on the side, and then use the number of people on both sides to attack the opponent's side and ribs."

"This situation was more vivid in the second half of the season. The two central defenders even frequently switched positions. Not only did they cross positions, but they also frequently switched positions with Hazard and Griezmann. This led to a huge improvement in the smoothness of our frontcourt offense, and it was difficult for the opponent to completely contain our offensive."

"Of course, the players who were originally in the middle lane pulled to the wing, and the offensive benefits are obvious, but the disadvantages also exist, that is, our mid lane defense will become very empty, especially at the moment of offense and defense transition."

Gao Han's words were simple and clear, but everyone clearly noticed why the team's final trend this season was like this and why the team's offensive was so outstanding, but there were constant problems on the defensive end.

There is absolutely no problem with the combination of Varane and Devrey. The two central defenders have even touched the goal of the top European central defenders. In addition to Marginhos and Umtiti, the level of the central defenders in Chinatown is definitely not bad.

But he has conceded so many goals this season, which has always been very puzzled. But now after Gao Han said this, everyone immediately understood that this is the case.

"Actually, I think there is no way to make up for this problem of defense. For example, when two central defenders pull the side, the full-back on the corresponding side will retract inward, approach the midfielder to drag the back and protect the wings." Gao Han said.

Zidane nodded, "I think so too, but I haven't had the chance to give it a try."

In his tone, the French coach's admiration for Gao Han was obviously even more serious.

"What I want to say is that the team has so far had a mature operation mechanism in terms of transmission and control, which makes me very satisfied. I believe that no matter who the opponent we are facing, we will definitely have the strength to compete in terms of transmission and control, even if we are facing Barcelona."

Under Zidane's training, the team's young players have made great progress.

The progress of the four midfielders, Isco, De Bruyne, Pogba and Cork, is particularly obvious, which has made Chinatown's entire midfield ball control ability a leap forward.

"We won the second-place La Liga season for two consecutive seasons, reached the Copa del Rey finals for two consecutive seasons, and reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons. Looking at the entire European football world, no team can achieve the same results as us, so we must have enough confidence in ourselves."

Gao Han said this and looked at Zidane deeply again.

"The way of passing and controlling is an active and proactive way of playing. The initiative lies with me. What we need to do is to improve our own way of playing and fill in weaknesses and shortcomings. As for how the opponent will play and what tactics will be adopted, it will not affect us at all."

Gao Han has always believed that Zidane is a very pragmatic head coach. He will choose different tactical styles according to different opponents, but it is precisely because of this that he will hesitate and hesitate before the competition.

But sometimes, what the head coach needs is persistence and persistence.

"I believe that regardless of whether Enrique plays on Xavi or not, we must do our best to take the initiative in passing and controlling the ball. Only in this way can we have hope of winning."

The reason why Barcelona lost away in the away game in the league was precisely because they lost possession.

Gao Han's words did not touch the details, but they brought Zidane a thrill like enlightenment, allowing him to clear the clouds and see the blue sky, and think of the original confusion and hesitation clearly.

The reason why Gao Han has such confidence is not only because of the team's own strength, but also because Xavi is old and Iniesta has lost his fighting spirit in his early years. Now Barcelona is no longer the threat of its peak.

"We will win back in the game we lost at Camp Nou earlier!" Gao Han mobilized loudly.

Get up from wherever you fall, this is what Gao Han wants to say.

The final venue of the Cup of del Rey was held at the Camp Nou Stadium, something that was decided early in the season.

At that time, no one knew who would reach the final, so the final match between Barcelona and Chinatown undoubtedly created the illusion that Barcelona was fighting at home.

But in fact, Barcelona is away in this game.

The home and away were decided by the draw before the game, and Chinatown drew the home team.

That's why Enrique joked before the game that it should be a different experience in the visiting team locker room in Camp Nou.

Zidane also fought back and joked that Chinatown would become the master of Camp Nou.

On the night of the game, at least half of Chinatown fans sat in the stands at Camp Nou Stadium.

In Barcelona's history, it reached the Copa del Rey finals thirty-seven times and won 26 championships, with a high success rate. At the Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona's victory is even more impressive.

This game attracted the attention of fans all over the world. After all, Chinatown and Barcelona are the most adorable teams in European football this season, especially Chinatown, which scored the best in European football, and its offensive firepower was amazing.

But many people believe that Chinatown's defense will become a chance for Barcelona.

Louis Enrique was the main force in this game.

Goalkeeper Valdes, with Alba, Pique, Otamendi and Alves in the back line, Busquets dragged behind the midfield, Iniesta and Rakitic in the center, and Pedro, Suarez and Messi in the frontcourt tridents.

Brazil's right-back Alves has basically confirmed his departure after the end of this season. Barcelona is currently looking for a right-back in a hurry. The most likely goal is Danilo, who plays for Chinatown.

In the midfield, Louis Enrique did not make a starter from Harvey, which somewhat reflected Enrique's plan.

Zidane also sent all the main force.

The goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Alex Sandro, De Vary, Varane and Montoya, the midfield is Kante, Pogba and De Bruyne are in the center, and the front court is a combination of Hazard, Firmino and Griezmann.

This game made Pogba start, Zidane mainly considered that Isco was injured and wanted to prepare for the Champions League final better, and also regarded Pogba as a surprise.

As for Pogba, he has become more and more handsome this season and is a crucial member of the team's midfield rotation.
