The day before the Champions League final, in the private golf club where I stayed in Inter Milan, a shuttle bus passed through the green golf course and arrived at the entrance of the villa area where I stayed in Inter Milan.

Gao Han had been waiting for a long time, and when the shuttle bus stopped, he immediately went up.

"Ha, you really know how to choose a place." Ferguson was the first to get off the shuttle bus.

He took off his usual serious suit, put on a casual and sports shirt, and a baseball cap with sun protection on his head. There was no trace of Manchester United's godfather's appearance, and it was like he was coming here for a leisure vacation and playing golf.

Let’s take a look at the other famous coaches who got out of the car, they all dressed up like this.

In fact, Gao Han called them to come and asked them to play golf.

"Just, I tell you that there are horses raised at the back of the club, so you must go and have a look." Gao Han smiled.

"Really? That's great!" Everyone knows that Ferguson's biggest hobby is to bet on horses, and he also raised a racing horse.

He even offended the two major shareholders of Manchester United for the sake of that horse, and was almost fired.

However, later the two major shareholders sold the shares to the Glazer family.

Heinx took off the cap on his head, looked at the scenery around him, and was in a good mood, "You have suddenly disappeared in recent days, which has almost made the media around the world crazy, and they thought you were attacked by terrorists and disappeared."

Boske and Heathfield also laughed.

They were able to accept Gao Han's invitation to come to Athens for vacation, which was purely due to personal friendship. If the outside media knew about it, they would definitely go crazy.

Think about it, Ferguson, Heathfield, Boske and Heinx are all gold medal coaches who have led the team to win the Champions League. Any of these four famous coaches can just go out, and in European football, they can cause an earthquake with just one foot.

They were able to accept Gao Han's invitation to Athens, which shows that they have a great friendship with each other.

Gao Han also knew that the four seniors were hard-won and were very attentive when greeting. They were not only responsible for their daily life, but also enthusiastic in the reception. They were invited to a high-end club in the villa area.

From the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls of the club, you can overlook the entire golf course, and the scenery is unique and charming.

Except for the last round left in Serie A, the four major European leagues, La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga have all ended their matches.

The final champion of the Premier League was Chelsea. With the large investment of 70 million euros during the winter break, the Blues' overall strength improved considerably in the second half, and eventually reversed Ferguson's Manchester United to win the championship.

The La Liga was eventually defeated by Heinquez's Atletico Madrid, which defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona in succession, and finally ranked as the La Liga championship.

In the Bundesliga, after Heathfield took over Magath in the middle, Bayern Munich's performance improved a bit, but in the end it failed to reverse the decline. In the end, it ranked fourth in the league, behind Stuttgart, Schalke Zero Four and Werder Bremen.

According to the Bundesliga points, the top three can participate in the Champions League, while Bayern Munich can only play in the League Cup.

But no matter what, Heathfield's coaching strength is undoubtedly.

A group of people gathered together, and the topic of discussion quickly moved from this beautiful golf club to the upcoming Champions League final, and they obviously knew the purpose of Gao Han inviting them to come.

In Ferguson's words on the road, "This kid cannot get up early without profit. Will he be so kind to invite us here to eat, drink and vacation?"

But when they talk about football, they immediately took off their jokes and became serious.

"To be honest, I don't understand. How could you lose to Chelsea in the semifinals?" Gao Han asked Heinx in confusion, which was also the doubt he had in his heart for a while.

Judging from the overall strength of the team, Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly better than Chelsea, and has a stronger attack power. Even if you can't break through the Blues' defense away, you should always adjust your home court, right?

Heinx waved his hand, with a very regretful expression, and shook his head, "That guy is smarter than anyone else."

"He is very clear about his team's advantages and weaknesses. He knows that there is no way to compete with us on the technical level, but their physical fitness and strong physical fitness are their advantages. So, he adopted a very rare tactic of scrambling in the game. You saw this in the first round, right?"

Gao Han nodded. In the game at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea's football was indeed very aggressive.

But from another perspective, this is normal.

Mourinho's team is not as good as Atletico Madrid in terms of technical aspects. It is impossible to compete with the bed sheets to control the ball and pass the ball, right?

"To be honest, I admire Mourinho very much." Gao Han smiled and said, "The tactic of rushing to siege seems simple, but in fact, it is very difficult to do it without leaking water. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed by the other party."

All the famous European coaches present were all the best in Europe, and they also understood what Gao Han said.

Many people say that defense is simpler than offense, but it may not be.

It’s like Chelsea’s siege, and some people accused Mourinho of being a counter-football player. But in fact, behind the siege, Chelsea’s tactical risks are very high. Once they can’t get it, they can’t get it, and they can’t get it?

With Atletico Madrid's strength, as long as their tactics reveal a flaw, the bed sheet army may tear open their defense at any time, so it is still very adventurous for Mourinho to adopt this style of play.

Of course, he must have his own considerations and his own trade-offs, and he succeeded.

"After the first round of the game, I adjusted my tactical style in the second round. First of all, I focused on their right side. Paul Ferreira's side is a weakness, and everyone knows this."

As soon as Heinx finished speaking, Boske took over the topic, "He must have carried out targeted defenses on this side."

"Yes, but another point I target is Marklele."

Heinkes said this and looked at Gao Han, "We all know that since you brought Marklele to Chelsea, the French midfielder has always been the best candidate for Chelsea's midfielder to drag the ball, but he is 34 years old. Although Mourinho consciously asked him to focus his game on the Champions League in the second half of this season, he is indeed no longer in his year of playing."

"He can still rely on his experience to make good use of his experience, but he can no longer provide a large-scale running coverage, especially in one-on-one situations, his horizontal transfer is very slow, which makes him obviously unable to keep up when facing inflection and horizontal breakthroughs."

"So, I focused on Arshavin and Villa in the game to target this, and at the same time grab Marklele, because he is the best player in Chelsea's midfielder with the best short pass ability in the midfield and the hub for Chelsea's midfielder to shoot."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood Heinx's depression.

In fact, if he really said that Atletico Madrid's second leg is aimed at this point, there is a high possibility that Chelsea will be captured.

"In the second leg, Marklele had 56 passes, but his success rate was only 75%, which was quite a big difference than usual, and his success rate of passing forward was only 65.8%.

Atletico Madrid's data analysis system was created by Gao Han himself, so he understood the meaning behind Heinx's words and the tactical significance it represents.

According to Gao Han's understanding of Marklele, the success rate of short passes at the peak of French midfielder was close to 100%, even when he coached Chelsea, it was extremely close to this number.

This is not to say how awesome Marclay's pass is, but because he drags his position and stays away from the oppressive area of ​​the opponent, it is normal for a high pass success rate, and Chelsea's central defender Terry is also very high.

It should be said that Heinx was able to push Marklele to this level and was a tactical success.

"However, we were still a little bit of a move in the end. Mourinho's strict defense was organized very closely, but at the same time, he also created opportunities against the two sides, Jankulovsky and Srnner. As a result, we not only failed to break through Chelsea's defense, but they scored a goal."

Speaking of this, Heinx is still full of regret and sighing.

In this game, his tactics can be said to have worked, but they failed to turn into victory.

This is also a normal thing. It is like some teams bombarded for ninety minutes, but they couldn't score the goal. Instead, the opponent attacked and scored a goal with a counterattack, and finally lost the game.

So, sometimes, the outcome of a football match is really hard to say.

"Morlinho is indeed a very tenacious head coach." Ferguson also agreed with his Premier League colleague and praised him. "I heard that in order to get Abramovich to spend funds to operate a transfer during the winter break, he even issued a military order. He will win the Champions League this year, otherwise he will resign."

"Is this really the case?" Gao Han took a deep breath.

This is to bet on your future and real interests.

Not to mention anything else, Mourinho is not simple in this regard.

"So, for the two semi-finals, I can only say that Atletico Madrid won on a tactical level, but it seriously underestimated Chelsea's belief in winning and determination to win."

Ferguson's words were undoubtedly a sharp hit and were unanimously recognized by everyone. Even Heinx had to nod and accept it.

"For this final tomorrow night, I still have to remind you that Inter Milan's overall strength is higher than Chelsea. There is no doubt that you suppress Mourinho on a tactical level, which is not a problem, but this does not mean that you can win. Don't make the same mistake as Atletico Madrid."

Gao Han understood that this was Ferguson's words.

Mourinho has made a big bet, and he has forced himself into a desperate situation. He has only one choice, that is, win.

If he wins, he will shine brightly, he will ascend to the altar, but if he loses, he will have to step down in shame and leave.

As the saying goes, a battle against the enemy and a devastating boat, just describes Mourinho now.

Gao Han gave out a heavy breath, nodded with a smile, and said, "You are right. You really cannot underestimate the belief in winning between Mourinho and Chelsea. But by the same token, no one can underestimate our beliefs and determination. I firmly believe that as long as we compete according to our plan and at our pace, the final winner will definitely be us!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

Mourinho made up his mind, didn’t Gao Han and his Inter Milan have it?

The competition has come to this point, and no one has any way out.
Chapter completed!
