"I think we should play against Barcelona!"

After hearing Zidane's words, Gao Han put down the newspaper in front of him, put them together, and looked at the French celebrity in front of him with interest, "Come on, talk about it."

Zidane was also prepared for this. He knew that Gao Han was deliberately testing him and giving him a chance.

Although he is a legendary superstar of the past, he is still a rookie who has just debuted and is very young on the road to coaching.

Similar Q&A has appeared many times in the past two years, but this time Zidane is a little nervous.

After all, this is related to the next Champions League final.

"As you have been telling me before, in addition to strength, psychological factors are also crucial to confront each other. The more they don't want us to do what we should do."

Gao Han nodded, which was indeed what he often warned Zidane.

"I was thinking that what Barcelona wants us to do the most is to compete with them for the ball. We have just been formed for two years. No matter how good the players are and how good the cooperation is, it is impossible to be like the players in Barcelona. After years of cooperation, they have a very tacit understanding. It can even be said that they can pass the ball to their teammates with their eyes closed."

"But we can't do it, especially after Yaya Toure was absent. I think we should arrange Matuidi to play from an offensive or defensive perspective. Then, if we compete with Barcelona for the ball, it will undoubtedly be a very unfavorable thing."

Gao Han nodded, "Continue, let's talk about it, how to attack?"

"I think we should take the initiative to oppress our opponents, especially the two central defenders in Barcelona, ​​but while oppressing, we must maintain the order and rigor of the overall formation. Without the right to possess the ball, we must ensure the discipline of each player and make efforts in the same place."

"But Barcelona's transmission and control system is so skillful, and the oppression cannot work. What should I do?" Gao Han pointed at the vital point.

"Then we have to take the second step." Zidane obviously had a solution to it. "The purpose of grabbing the pressure is to prevent the opponent from passing the ball through the midfield easily, but once the pressure fails, we must retreat in the shortest time and establish a solid defensive formation, rather than continue to entangle Barcelona's midfield and backcourt."

This is also the reason why Zidane said that every player needs to maintain discipline.

Only when players are highly self-disciplined and always firmly implement the coaching staff’s instructions can they be implemented so as to enforce such orders.

"But Ibrahimovic is a problem." Gao Han asked the question again.

Barcelona's opponents didn't think of this, but why did it work?

A very important reason is that Barcelona has an Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt. The Swedish high center can play the role of the tactical fulcrum in this situation and become Barcelona's siege hammer.

After Ibrahimovic got the ball, players such as Messi, Pedro and Iniesta would quickly surround him, and combined with Barcelona's best small-scale fast passes and cuts, which is also quite fatal.

"Ibrahimovic and Messi will be the two most important points for Barcelona's frontcourt, so we must try our best to control the first landing point. Even if it doesn't work, we must quickly seize the second landing point."

"Once they retreat, our defenders don't follow, and the defensive tasks are handed over to the midfield, but the defense is mainly responsible for cutting off the connection between Ibrahimovic and Messi, dividing them, and then imprisoning them in a team-based way."

This set of ideas is very similar to Gao Han's previous few times when he played Barcelona. It is not difficult to achieve. It is mainly due to the players' tactical execution, especially David Luis.

This Brazilian central defender is a good seedling, with excellent physical fitness and a living foot. It is indeed quite good. He has made rapid progress in the past two seasons of Paris Saint-Germain, but it is still not stable enough.

Just like Gao Han's previous evaluation of Ramos, central defenders like Ramos and David Louis are often a double-edged sword, which is very useful when it is easy to use, but you have to tolerate his mistakes.

Thiago Silva is very stable and I believe it will be a powerful supplement to David Louis.

If Zidane's idea is implemented, then the most important task in the defense line is defense, including Marcelo.

"What about the attack? How to fight?" Gao Han hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"Liberate Pirlo and attack the diagonal attack of both wings."

Gao Han immediately laughed. It seemed that Zidane had already prepared for this.

After Alba transferred to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's wings were known for their attacking. The devil wings with Alves had a very obvious effect on the offensive end, and the attacks behind them were also the most frequently used by many teams when they were playing against Barcelona.

"Aubameyang is faster and has more active defensive investment. I think he should be closer to the midfield, while Neymar should try to push up as much as possible and approach Suarez. On the one hand, it will facilitate the oppression of Barcelona's central defender, and on the other hand, it can also restrain Barcelona's right side, so that Alves dare not act rashly."

Zidane seemed to be very smart when he analyzed it, which made Gao Han secretly applaud.

"But I have one thing to worry about."

"What?" Gao Han asked curiously.

"Harvey's direct pass." Zidane said with a serious face. "Although Harvey is already quite old and his willingness to run and actively oppress his opponents is weaker than in his early years, the direct pass has become more amazing. We must have someone who can cut off his direct pass in the area where he is active, otherwise..."

After pausing, Zidane continued: "In addition, Neymar's position is ahead, restraining Barcelona's central defender and right-back, but he basically will not retreat to defend. Marcelo defends Messi alone, I don't think it's enough. Someone must actively return to defend and assist, so..."

When he said this, Zidane looked at Gao Han with his eyes focused. He already had the answer, but was just looking for Gao Han's advice, because he was not sure in his heart.

As Gao Han told him before, any decision is a double-edged sword.

It’s like Barcelona’s ball control. If you play well, you can completely control the game. However, once the attack is unfavorable, too much ball control will be a burden, and it may even become a weapon for the opponent to defeat Barcelona.

The same is true of the problems facing Paris Saint-Germain now.

Can Di Maria actively return to defend and rush to assist Marcelo while intercepting Xavi?

"What do you think?" Gao Han asked without answering, smiling.

Zidane thought for a while and nodded, "I think I can give it a try."

Gao Han smiled slightly and said, "I agree with you very much. I also believe that Di Maria will definitely be able to handle this burden."

The recognition of Gao Han made Zidane smile and nodded constantly.

Di Maria has performed quite well this year since joining Paris Saint-Germain. After transforming into a central defender, she has made great contributions to both offense and defense, especially when she counterattacked after intercepting the ball, Di Maria did a very good job.

This game is the Champions League final. Winning this game is a peak honor for both the team and the players themselves. There is no need to mobilize such a game at all, and every player will do his best.

Therefore, the most important thing next is the adjustment of the players' state and the drill of game tactics.

Especially Zidane mentioned the exercise of oppression and defensive formations.

Fortunately, there is nearly a month left before the Champions League final, and Paris Saint-Germain has enough time to prepare.

"The next training class will be arranged as you said, focusing on preparing for this Champions League final, and you are fully responsible."

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, Zidane was shocked. How trust did he trust him so much that he would hand over such an important task to him as a rookie?

"Don't worry, I will watch from the side. Just let go and prepare. It is best to draw up a detailed preparation plan for me within these two days. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Zidane was full of excitement. This was an extremely valuable opportunity for him to exercise.

This is preparing for the Champions League final. Many head coaches have never had such a chance in their entire lives, but he has it. Although he is preparing for the game under Gao Han's wings, it is enough to make him excited.

"In addition, I plan to be responsible for the next few rounds of leagues. I believe in you and you must believe in yourself."

Paris Saint-Germain has won the Ligue 1 early, and its opponents are not strong in the remaining games. It is safe to win the opponent with Paris Saint-Germain's strength. It is perfect to leave it to Zidane to practice.

Besides, Gao Han will sit in the coaching seat at that time. If Zidane really makes a fatal mistake, Gao Han will try every means to make up for it as soon as possible. I believe there is no big problem.

"The opponent in the French Cup final is Bordeaux. This team is strong, so we must be careful to deal with it. I have to decide on these three championships this season. You and the coaching staff should prepare well."

Zidane felt a strong sense of self-confidence from Gao Han's words.

If it were someone else, he might think Gao Han was too arrogant, but Zidane would not think so, because as the coaching staff of Paris Saint-Germain, he knew that Gao Han had laid the foundation for Paris Saint-Germain in the past two years.

It is a solid foundation built up by countless details. It will not be affected by Yaya Toure's absence, and naturally it will not be disturbed by other factors.

…………

…………

After finalizing the details with Zidane, Gao Han sent away the French celebrity and looked at his departure back and smiled with satisfaction.

In the past two years, Zidane has been learning from him and has made great progress. Gao Han has also delegated power to him and Marklele one after another. Especially in the past six months, after Louis Enrique failed to coach Chinatown, Gao Han has been targeting Zidane and has been deliberately cultivating him to stand alone.

After having Guardiola's previous experience, Gao Han had even more experience in cultivating Zidane this time.

Judging from Zidane's current situation, he has indeed possessed the ability to stand alone, and it is not difficult to see from Gao Han's sharp eyes that his potential has been constantly improving. Obviously, his future is limitless and he can fully improve with Chinatown.

Even, it is entirely possible that he will be the next Guardiola.

As for Gao Han, he never made it clear, because he didn't want to reveal it too early, because Paris Saint-Germain has been looking for Gao Han's successor, and Zidane was once one of the candidates. For professional ethics, Gao Han could not do such a thing.

But judging from the information he has received now, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain in the new season will be former head coach of Bordeaux and France's national teams, Laurent Blanco.

The coaching ability of this young coach has also been unanimously recognized by French football. He is also the former captain and head coach of the national team. He is a good-for-nothing person, so it is natural to coach Paris Saint-Germain.
