Chapter 329 Advance to the Finals
May 14th, evening, Calderon Stadium.
When the referee blew the end of the game, more than 50,000 fans in the Calderon Stadium left their seats and stood up to report the warmest applause to Atletico Madrid players.
One to zero, this is the last score of the game.
International practice: the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.
After defeating Real Madrid 2-1 away in the first leg, Atletico Madrid once again defeated Real Madrid in the second leg with Kaka's goal at home.
The total score of two rounds was 3-1, and Atletico Madrid successfully advanced to the Champions League final!
This result tied the best European record in Atletico Madrid's history.
At the moment the whistle sounded, Gao Han, in front of the home team coach's seat, turned his back to the stadium, clenched his fists with both hands, raised it above his head, and shouted loudly, "Yeah", greatly venting his inner excitement.
In my mind, the coaching system pushed a ding-toning notification sound.
He knew without looking at it, that this must be congratulating him on tying the record and winning another game.
In the past two years, he has become a little numb to such push notifications.
Without even going in to take a look at the coaching system, Gao Han walked over and hugged his assistant team one by one to celebrate the team's killing of the Champions League final.
In the entire stadium, everyone except the people from Real Madrid were inexplicably excited.
To reach the Champions League final, this is definitely something Atletico Madrid dared not expect before, but now it has come true!
Because of this, the atmosphere of the entire court seemed a little crazy.
"Congratulations, Gao Han." Boske's voice came from behind Gao Han.
Gao Han suddenly turned around and saw the hands stretched out by the Real Madrid coach. He quickly held them with both hands, "Thank you."
"You did perform better and you deserved to win." Boske seemed very arrogant.
Gao Han smiled slightly, "You have performed well, especially in the last two games."
In both games in the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid played better than before, more bloody and fighting spirit.
Others may not have noticed it, but Gao Han was paying attention. Boske was using Real Madrid's direct line in both games.
Morientes and Guti were both entrusted with important tasks. In addition, Raul, Jero, Casillas, Salgado, Elgra and other veterans of Real Madrid, Real Madrid feels a bit back to nature in these two rounds.
In fact, after washing away all the badge, returning to the most primitive Real Madrid, this team is more competitive and more bloody, and plays more like a whole.
As for stars like Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo, in such Real Madrid, they no longer have the halo of their former superstars, and they perform better and more integrated into the overall situation.
I wonder if Boske felt something when he heard Gao Han's words and sighed deeply.
"Many people like superstars, but I miss the Jedi-reborn Real Madrid even more in the past two thousand years."
This is probably not just because it was Boske's battle to become famous.
At that time, Real Madrid was in danger and Boske was ordered to take the order in the face of danger. However, at the critical moment, with the unanimous support of locker room bosses such as Jero, Raul, Sanchis, he united the team and turned the tide. In the end, he not only saved Real Madrid, but also brought the eighth Champions League championship in the club's history.
"At that time, we were the real and most missed Real Madrid."
Boske's tone was very sad, but he was laughing.
It’s worth it for a head coach to lead such a team in his entire life!
Gao Han could hear that he did not support the superstar strategy at all, but in Real Madrid, he was just the team's head coach and could not decide on transfer signings at all, so he could only passively accept it.
So, it is not good or bad for him to leave this position.
"What are your plans next?" Gao Han asked with concern.
Boske frowned and thought, "They wanted to keep me as the team's technical consultant, but I refused."
Gao Han nodded. If it were him, he would definitely refuse.
What a joke?
The coaching position has been fired, and he still stays to be a technical consultant?
Do you really think everyone is as backbone as Ferrer of Barcelona?
"In the past three years, I have been living under pressure every day, often insomnia, and have been having headaches for the team and the game every day. Next, I plan to take a break for a while and then plan for the future."
It can be seen that there is no suspense about Boske being eliminated from the Champions League.
But he looked relaxed, as if he had removed a heavy burden.
From this perspective, this may not be a bad thing for Boske.
"When you have time to find me for tea." Gao Han smiled.
Boske laughed, "As long as you treat me, I'll be free at any time."
Gao Han kept shook his head, looking like he met someone wrong.
Although the get out of class has been over, is it as for being so stingy?
Besides, don’t be so confident when you have free meals!

Passion, hard work, sweat and tears!
This is the front page headline of the Champions League semi-finals. After the second round of the match, the picture shows the scene where the two teams of players were intertwined on the court after the game ended.
The title of Marca comes directly from a sentence from Churchill’s speech to the British people after World War II, “I have nothing else, only passion, hard work, sweat and tears.”
In the report, Marca highly praised the two teams' two-round matches, believing that Atletico Madrid maintained its consistent stability and high-level performance, and entering the finals was veritable.
At the same time, he also spent a lot of space to praise Atletico Madrid's head coach Gao Han, believing that he had brought revolutionary changes to the Bedding Legion and was the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's journey to this day.
In the report, Marca even used words such as great, giant, magician, etc., and highly praised Gao Han for his coaching at Atletico Madrid, believing that after this season, the Chinese will be among the top coaches in Europe.
But at the same time, Marca also believes that Real Madrid's performance in the two games is also worthy of recognition.
"Although the management has not made a clear statement, everyone knows that after the end of this season, Boske's position as coach has come to an end."
"Perhaps because of this, he took off the pressure and refrigerated superstars one after another, and let Real Madrid's local core players such as Raul, Guti, and Jero act as the main force. As a result, Real Madrid played a rare bloody and tenacity."
"These two Champions League semi-finals can be said to be the two best games in the past ten Madrid derby games in the past two seasons. The strength of both sides is very close and evenly matched, but Atletico Madrid won by chance."
"Perhaps, after watching these two games, Real Madrid's management should reflect on the superstar strategy."
"Every giant team needs to have their own superstars and need to introduce high-level stars, but whether it must be a superstar, or even whether it is worth sacrificing the integrity of the team for the superstar is a question worth discussing."
Not only Marca, but even Asce, which has always been known as Florentino's mouthpiece, this time he gave Bosque a high evaluation of Morientes.
"Although Morientes did not score in two games, he proved his strength with his performance, and he deserves the starting position given to him by Boske."
In addition, Ass also gave a high evaluation of the tenacious defense shown by Real Madrid players in the face of Atletico Madrid's tide of offensive, especially the midfielder Marklele.
"There is no doubt that Marklele is the most impressive player in two rounds of the game. He ran physically and had excellent interceptions and steals in the midfield, which left a deep impression on people."
"He is like a wall of the Bernabeu. In the opponent's offensive storm, he always stands in front of the defense line fearlessly, and has contributed a master-level defensive performance in two consecutive games. He is like Zidane among the defensive players."
Ass also congratulated Atletico Madrid, which defeated Real Madrid and reached the Champions League final.
"Atlan Madrid can reach the finals, and head coach Gao Han makes great contributions."
"We are also sincerely looking forward to Atletico Madrid's first St. Berede Cup in club history from Old Trafford."
"But we must remind Gao Han and his players that the Champions League final is not La Liga!"
In addition to Marca and Ass, other Spanish media also praised Atletico Madrid's performance, but the media did not accuse Real Madrid, which showed bleeding but unfortunately lost.
But no one shouted for Boske's resignation.
In another match in the Champions League semi-finals, AC Milan drew with Inter Milan in the first leg 0-0, and the two sides exchanged home and away at the same stadium, but the game was still zero-0.
Even after playing overtime, it was still zero to zero.
What's even more terrifying is that the two Serie A teams played very dull, with extremely conservative tactics, which was simply outrageous.
Ancelotti and Cooper's conservative tactics have also been criticized.
Although it is the Champions League semi-finals, it is understandable that it is conservative, but it is indeed rare to be so conservative.
Of course, this is also the impression of ordinary fans. In the eyes of senior fans and professionals, the tactical value is quite high, and the battle between the two head coaches is also very targeted.
This is also a typical Italian style.
In the end, AC Milan eliminated its city-wide mortal enemy with a penalty shootout and successfully advanced to the final.
The first and second teams in the first stage of the Champions League group stage actually met in the final, which immediately became a big interesting talk for fans around the world.
But compared with AC Milan last year, Ancelotti's team has completely changed.
If the Ross and Blacks before was a rare pass-by-control team in the Serie A League, then AC Milan is now a highly conservative Serie A team.
This also adds more suspense to the finals.
Everyone knows that when Serie A team plays conservative defensive counterattack tactics, no one can easily break through their iron walls.
What's more, AC Milan's midfield and frontcourt can gather a group of ace superstars who are not inferior to any team at all.
On the other hand, although Atletico Madrid performed well and was full of sharpness, it was its first time to reach the Champions League final. The team was young and not good at playing in Serie A team, which was really unreliable.
