On the evening of April 27, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.

When Gao Han led the team into the stadium for pre-match warm-up training, he bent down and grabbed a handful of lawns, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As expected, the lawn was still so high, even drier than yesterday.

Mourinho is indeed not a good person!

Every home court will be more or less accommodated to the home team in all aspects, and there are even some small tricks, but it is really rare to use this trick like Mourinho on the court.

Especially for a giant team like Real Madrid, it's too petty.

"What's wrong? I don't feel very happy." Mourinho's voice came from behind Gao Han.

Real Madrid entered the court more than ten minutes earlier than Manchester City. It can be seen that Mourinho attaches great importance to this game and the game will definitely be very difficult. However, Gao Han didn't see Mourinho when he entered the court just now.

"Nothing." Gao Han stood up and smiled, "Just thinking, maybe next time you can consider laying a layer of sand on the lawn, you know, this will work better."

The words slapped in the face on the spot came out of Gao Han's mouth and heard Mourinho's ears. However, the Portuguese madman did not think it was offended at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows, "Well, you have a good idea. Although the cost of doing this is a little higher, the effect is indeed better. Why didn't I think of it before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mourinho hissed again, "You know so well, have you used this trick?"

Gao Han smiled slightly, "I'm not as shameless as you."

"I think you are praising me." Mourinho nodded seriously.

To be honest, he really admires Gao Han. At least in terms of temper control, Gao Han is obviously much smoother than Guardiola. The latter was directly angered, but Gao Han didn't care at all.

If Gao Han was furious and scolded him in person at this time, he would be even happier, but in fact, Gao Han felt that he understood him quite well, which made Mourinho feel uncomfortable.

Gao Han gave him the feeling that I understand that you can't beat me in your test, so he used these tricks. I don't care, so I forgive you.

Mourinho curled his lips, looked at Gao Han's back as he turned around and walked away, and snorted coldly.

"This game will be very difficult, and each of you must be mentally prepared."

After the players finished their pre-match training, returned to the locker room and everything was ready, Gao Han also began to perform the final pre-match mobilization, and reminded the players of everything that could happen at any time on the court.

"This is the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid often plays more tenaciously here, and we all know how they dealt with Barcelona in the first place. In this game, they will be more tenacious and aggressive than when they played Barcelona, ​​so this will be a competition of willpower."

Manchester City has watched at least three games between Real Madrid and Barcelona before the game, and watched the China Cup del Rey final twice. Gao Han hopes that all players can clearly feel the game style of Real Madrid and be mentally prepared.

"However, it is worth mentioning that the referee of this game is from Germany, Wolfgang Stark. I am very familiar with him. He is a referee with very strict law enforcement. He has enforced the law for 19 Bundesliga games this season, giving 53 yellow cards, and giving an average of one red card every three games. He can be said to be a card-taking maniac."

"The law enforcement in the Champions League is also unambiguous. In the five formal Champions League games, he gave four red cards."

Gao Han’s data are supported by Sergio Garcia’s analysis, which is definitely true and reliable.

For such a card-breaking maniac, the best way is to minimize unnecessary fouls.

Of course, strict law enforcement is one thing, and whether you can control the atmosphere of the game on the court is another thing. Wolfgang Stark was selected as the worst referee in the Bundesliga this season because he was relatively poor in terms of game control.

But no matter what, with such a card-breaking maniac present, Mourinho's playing style will definitely be appropriately restrained.

"I know, before the game, whether from the media or from the exchanges between each other, we must think a lot about this game itself, such as what will Real Madrid do without the ball? What style of play will they adopt? Should they defend the game like the league against Barcelona? Or should they take the initiative like the Copa del Rey final?"

Gao Han shook his head, "But here, I want to remind everyone that all these issues should not be considered. There is always only one issue we need to consider, that is, how to score a goal."

"How to resist our offense should be a question that Real Madrid and Mourinho consider, and we just need to think about how to be good at ourselves and how to turn our advantages into goals."

"Believe me, guys, I have led three teams to win the Champions League. I have never lost in this event, and even draw a single game, so I can clearly feel that we have the ability to control the game, and the initiative will be in our hands. The key is how we should make good use of it."

"Real Madrid will do everything possible to resist our attacks in all their might, and we just need to be ourselves, just like we usually do, to send the ball into their goal in the way we are best at."

"And the only difference is..."

Gao Han raised his right index finger toward the player, "We will no longer use high-pressure pressure in this game. I hope we can put our ball control area in the center line and the half of our team."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

All the players in the locker room nodded together.

How to play the game? All plans have been drawn up before the game. Gao Han is just reminding the players again about details that need to be paid attention to, and everyone is also solemn.

This is a Champions League semi-final, and it is at the Bernabeu Stadium in Real Madrid, which is the stage that countless professional players have dreamed of throughout their lives.

"Both sides of the game have lined up at the player's passage and are ready to enter the court at any time."

"This is the referee of this game, the international referee Wolfgang Stark from Germany."

"Gao Han brought his coaching staff out of the player channel. It seems that he is very familiar with Stark. Gao Han once coached Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga for two seasons and is highly respected and loved by German footballers. Stark also said in an interview with UEFA before the game that he was able to enforce Gao Han's game again, which made him feel extremely honored."

"The lineup of the players of both teams is also very clear."

"Real Madrid still lined up a four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Kolarov, Bruno Alves, Albiol and Aveloa, the midfield is Moutinho, Felipe Melo and Las Diarra take the three midfielders."

"The frontcourt is Sneijder, Diego Costa and Ozil, and Higuain is left on the bench by Mourinho."

"It's obvious that Mourinho was very satisfied with Sneijder's way of moving to the left after defeating Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, so this game directly pushed the Dutch to the frontcourt. As for Ozil, I believe it will be a weapon for Real Madrid to counterattack."

"In addition, there are counterattack experts like Di Maria sitting on the bench of Real Madrid. There are still many cards that Mourinho can use in his hands."

"Manchester City still has the third, fourth and third formation that they are best at in this game."

"The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Mascherano. After Argentina's right center back returns, he reoccupied the main position of the right center back."

"The midfield is Xavi Alonso dragged behind, David Silva and Modric have the double core of the midfield, Kaka breaks forward, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez in the frontcourt."

"It can be said that both teams have sent their strongest lineups to play, and they have no injuries. They are strong and powerful. Let's see who will win this game."

…………

…………

Gao Han was very impressed by Sneijder's performance on the left rib in the King's Cup final.

In the past, Mourinho used him more in the middle, but in the Copa del Rey final, Sneider performed very well on the left rib, which can be said to have broken the original balance of power on the court.

In this game, Mourinho also played Ozil on the right side, which was obviously necessary to use Manchester City's single-middle configuration to both ribs.

"Remind them, pay attention to Sneider and Ozil who are both on the sides after the opening. These two players are not simple."

Brian Kidd immediately took the order and walked over to remind the players who lined up to shake hands and lined up in the half of the team.

Two captains, Xiavi Alonso and Casillas, are guessing the side.

Although Manchester City is a Premier League team, its skill and tactical style is very Spanish, and the players in the team are familiar with Real Madrid, and they can even be said to be familiar with it. Gao Han is not worried about this.

From the head coach's perspective, he is more considering what tactical style Mourinho will adopt.

"You said, will he choose to press it out? Or retract it?" Sergio Garcia asked with a frown.

There is no sign of this before the game, and no matter how Mourinho chooses, it is understandable.

"I can't guess." Gao Han shook his head, "So, my choice is not to guess. We will retreat the formation. Whether they press forward or retract, we can deal with it, because what we want is possession."

The party with the ball possession is often able to control the rhythm of the game and consume the opponent's physical fitness through passing and controlling. This is also a major feature of Gao Han's coaching, especially in the face of teams like Real Madrid that are strictly guarding, when they are in good physical condition, they are often iron-clad walls.

In the first and second half of the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid's defense and pressing and pressing quality was obviously very different.

But there is one thing that Gao Han is very clear and very sure, that is, Mourinho will do everything possible to destroy Manchester City's game rhythm and ball control, because only in this way can they have a chance of winning.

If Manchester City is allowed to control the ball and the rhythm of the game and launch a continuous attack on Real Madrid, it would be like a chronic suicide. Mourinho would never be so stupid.

Thinking of this, Gao Han turned his head and looked at Mourinho in front of the home team coach's seat. The latter also looked at Gao Han. The corner of his mouth raised, and a sneer appeared, his eyes were full of coldness, as if he was talking...

"This is a cruel war to the death!"
