199 The strongest opponent in his career!
Real Madrid's visit to Monaco not only sparked the local football enthusiasm in Monaco, but also seemed to ignite the green passion of the whole of France!
Monaco, which is a tourist destination, was crowded the day before the game day. When Situ Yunbing returned to the hotel, he could see many tourists asking at the front desk of the lobby to see if there were any available rooms. There were many fans wearing Real Madrid jerseys.
The next evening, the entire Real Madrid team arrived at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco. Police were maintaining public order or evacuating traffic on the main roads on all sides of the stadium. Monaco fans and Real Madrid fans from all over Europe, including France, rushed to the Louis II Stadium in groups.
There is no hostility between the fans of the two teams.
At this moment, it is impossible for Monaco fans to talk about the history of Monaco's elimination of Real Madrid in the 2004 Champions League. After all, even if Real Madrid has been in poor life over the years, it is a hundred times better than Monaco!
Especially in 2004, it was an unbearable year for Monaco. That year, Porto was achieved, but not Monaco.
The Louis II Stadium was almost full half an hour before the game. The clear night sky was occasionally swept by aerial planes, recording the grand occasion of Monaco and Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout stage.
Situ Yunbing sat in the locker room waiting for his players. He had already met the famous stars of Real Madrid in the passage and was quite excited.
Yes, when he saw Kaka, Ronaldo, Raul and other top stars, if he was not the Monaco coach, he would definitely go up and ask for an autograph and take a photo. If he was so forgetful, he would even hope to get their jerseys too much!
But as the head coach of Monaco, my mood is a different feeling.
For a moment, he felt scared.
It's like seeing a giant, which highlights his humility and insignificance.
The strength and team energy represented by Real Madrid are indeed enough to make most opponents feel fearful, and Monaco is no exception.
If Situ Yunbing had no fear at all, he could only say that he did not realize what Real Madrid actually represents.
Adjusting his state in the locker room and trying to overcome negative psychology, Situ Yunbing knew that he had to show stronger fighting spirit and maintain his concentration on the game.
He opened the tablet's gaming interface, and before the Champions League, he would of course reserve a lot of cards to deal with this game.
After thinking about it, Situ Yunbing decided not to use the Champions League card, but to use the players drawn from the French local combat card library to the players.
Gareth Bell has a picture of Henry attached to it.
Moro attached a picture of Sanior.
Suarez attached a picture of Clinsmann.
A Max is attached to Vertonheng.
De Gea has a Badz attached to it.
Finish.
Putting away the tablet computer, Situ Yunbing then quietly waited for the players to warm up and come back.
In fact, he believes that the bonus of the card is now greater than the short-term profit in the long term.
In other words, it takes a long time to see obvious results for players to use cards frequently.
It really depends on the opponent if you expect to use cards on the spot to make the players perform well in the game.
The upcoming game tests the overall confrontation ability of the two teams. Although the improvement of player abilities is effective, it is still superficial in terms of pattern. The real connotation cannot be shaped by cramming temporarily.
When the Monaco generals returned to the locker room, they made the final preparations before the game step by step. After they were dressed neatly, Situ Yunbing stood up and delivered a pre-war speech.
"It's all like a dream. We have 15 minutes to fight against the European giants and the most successful club in the 20th century Real Madrid!
To be honest, when I saw their players in the player channel just now, I felt a little scared.
Because they look too strong, there are two Golden Globe winners in the past three years and so many world-renowned superstars in their lineup. Such an opponent may be the second time in Monaco Club's history. Of course, the first time was Real Madrid, which was more than five years ago.
But slowly, I figured out why I was afraid? It was because they were strong!
But isn't this exactly what we expect?
Perhaps we will have more hope of advancing than playing against Real Madrid, but wouldn’t it be better if we have the opportunity to fight against Real Madrid?
Should we be afraid?
No!
We did not meet Real Madrid passively, we did not meet Real Madrid by chance in the group stage!
We reached the Champions League quarterfinals with our strength!
We meet Real Madrid in a narrow road!
Even though we didn’t meet Real Madrid today, what if we advanced to the quarterfinals? We will also meet opponents of Real Madrid at the level!
This is inevitable!
When we come here with our strength, we should be fearless!
We have made sufficient preparations, and the next thing we need to see who is better at the battle on the field!
Real Madrid is strong, and we are not weak either. We are not sure of winning, and no team will have it, but we have the confidence and fighting spirit to win the game!
The fans will support you in the stands, and I trust you without reservation. This is not to put pressure on you, but to believe that you will fight bravely on the field!
Maybe today I feel the atmosphere of the past again, and no one is optimistic about us!
Even our fans may be cautious in predicting the game, but are you pessimistic?
I believe it won't!
When everyone is optimistic about us, our confidence is not self-confidence. When everyone is not optimistic about us, we are still full of confidence. This is the true confidence!
In addition to self-confidence, you also have to rely on strength. Now, it’s time for you to show your strength to prove it!”
When the Monaco generals nodded after hearing this, they actually resonated with most players!
They could not help but feel afraid, but after listening to Situ Yunbing's words, they relaxed instead.
Why are you afraid to reach the Champions League quarterfinals with your strength?
Situ Yunbing came to the door as always and shook hands and hugged every player who appeared, hugged their heads and solemnly motivated them.
His behavior may have become a tradition in Monaco and is also a feature that is very imprinted by his personal style.
When Situ Yunbing was the last to walk out of the locker room, he walked through the player passage with one hand in his pocket, and a group of Real Madrid stars cast surprised eyes at him.
Few players and coaches were not surprised when they first met Situ Yunbing.
This young young coach is so young, he is definitely an alternative to European football, so others will naturally be curious.
Situ Yunbing walked out of the player channel without changing his face, and he did not look at the Real Madrid players.
After he walked into the stadium, he could clearly feel the atmosphere of the stadium that was different from usual.
Monaco fans are unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and Real Madrid fans are not to be outdone, especially with many fans from all over Europe.
Real Madrid's superstar policy will diversify fans who support the team.
Many fans were not Real Madrid fans at first, just because they were Alonso fans, Kaka fans, Benzema fans, Ronaldo fans, etc. Then because these players are now playing for Real Madrid, they naturally have to support Real Madrid!
Florentino is a professional business operation expert. He knows how to improve the club's brand effect and market development as quickly as possible. A superstar can open up a vast market and drive Real Madrid's brand influence to increase at the same time.
Just like in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, even though Real Madrid won three championships in five years and three championships in the Champions League, Real Madrid still has a greater brand influence than Manchester United. At that time, Florentino asked his assistant what was going on, and the assistant told him: We have one Beckham less than Manchester United.
OK, Florentino decisively bought Beckham, and then Real Madrid naturally became the football club with the highest brand value in the world.
But at that time, too much emphasis on business and ignoring the balance of competition also led to Florentino's final resignation. Last summer, he entered Real Madrid for the second time. Florentino's policy of one superstar in the first phase was even more crazy, and in one summer he quickly brought the increasingly mediocre Real Madrid back to a global position of attention.
If you compare Real Madrid's current lineup with the lineup a year ago, you will intuitively find that Real Madrid's level has been improved by at least two levels. The gap between the two Golden Balls alone is not something that many first-class stars can make up for. After all, the star resources in the world football are not limitless. One more superstar in Real Madrid means that the probability of other clubs getting superstars is much lower!
The noise at the Louis II Stadium was almost buzzing, and when the players of both teams entered the field, they even reached a small gāo cháo!
Pellegrini stood in front of the visiting team coach's seat with his arms and chest wrapped around his chest. He couldn't help but look at Situ Yunbing a few more times. Perhaps many coaches would actually have an illusion and dream!
I may never dream of fighting wits and courage with a coach younger than my son in such an important game.
But Pellegrini also reminded himself at all times not to despise the opponent because of his youth!
This is a big taboo for military strategists!
Real Madrid and Monaco all led the caddies into the stadium, and the UEFA Champions League logo was placed in the stadium, and the scene overlooking the stadium was spectacular.
The starters of the two teams lined up on the court, the theme song of the Champions League was played, and the heroic players looked heroic and resolute. Even Situ Yunbing was different from usual. His expression was solemn, as if this moment was so sacred!
In the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final, Monaco played against the Champions League 9 champion Real Madrid at home!
Chapter completed!
