"Atlancia Madrid is a very aggressive team. I can guarantee that even on the road, they will definitely strive to seize the initiative and strive for the first goal, and will not retreat because of one goal."

"Yes, it's hard to say who's good for a 1-0 score, but if the Bedsheets Legion scores first, then everything will be different."

"I don't think this possibility is very high, because Atletico Madrid has been fighting hard, so they may not have the courage to fight away."

"That's your own opinion. Gao Han was able to lead the team to this day because he didn't play according to common sense."

"But we are now talking about the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match, which is a final!"

"Yes, we're talking about the finals, they beat AC Milan in the League Cup finals."

"Oh, please, that's an attacking AC Milan. If it were AC Milan now, I'm afraid..."

"But no matter what, I believe that Atletico Madrid will still take the offensive away."

"You mean, we retreat at home and play a defensive counterattack?"

"Oh my God, this is our home court, and in terms of attack power, are we worse than them?"

"Trezege, Piero, Nedved, Zambrota, Camoranesi, Davis... A frontcourt combination like ours will not lose to any team, even Real Madrid!"

...

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and it was a mess.

It is obvious that the entire Juventus coaching team is clearly divided into two major camps.

One faction believes that Atletico Madrid will still adopt offensive tactics when fighting away games, but Juventus should adopt a defensive and give full play to the advantages of Serie A team's defensive counterattack.

But another faction believes that if the Bedbank Army dares to fight away, Juventus should have a headache in person.

At the Alp Stadium, the old woman has never been afraid of any team.

Both opinions have reasonable opinions and have their own strengths as the basis, so no one can convince the other party.

Lippi sat on the upper head, his glasses were taken off, pinched in his hand, and gently wiped them with a mirror cloth.

His movements looked very calm and calm, and he didn't look like he was about to face a big battle.

The two gangs who had been arguing quickly noticed the head coach who was not afraid of favor and disgrace. They found that Lippi had not expressed his opinion yet, so the debate gradually became less and they looked over.

Lippi still slowly wiped his glasses, gently put them back on the bridge of his nose, and slowly swept over everyone present. Finally, he smiled and said softly.

"You are all right and make sense, but I don't know if you have found an interesting detail."

Everyone looked puzzled and looked at Lippi.

I don’t know if it was the reflection of the light or if they saw it wrong. At this moment, they seemed to see Lippi’s eyes shining with the light of wisdom behind their glasses.

"We lost the ball in the first half of the away game against Atletico Madrid in the last moment, and that ball came very suddenly, and caught us off guard and could not defend."

Everyone nodded. They later reflected on the goal and summarized that Marcos Senna's outstanding performance was certainly a major factor, but Juventus itself also had problems, and it was a bit too sticky.

Juventus was indeed a bit arrogant at the time when playing pass-through control in front of La Liga teams.

But is this the interesting detail Lippi calls it?

"Atlancia Madrid is not only the youngest team in the quarterfinals, but also the second youngest team among the 32 teams in the official Champions League."

The youngest team in average age is Ajax, a team composed of all young players.

"Such teams are often more likely to make mistakes. The more critical the battle is, the more likely it is to make mistakes."

Lippi said this and smiled confidently again, "Think about it again, how did Atletico Madrid play in the first half of that game at Calderon Stadium? How was their offense organized?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized it.

That's right, in the first half, the team that performed best should be Juventus.

On the other hand, although Atletico Madrid is playing at home, although he leads with one goal, he has very little time to really control the situation. On the contrary, Juventus has repeatedly played a very threatening offensive.

"At the Atletico Madrid at that time, wasn't it like the Atletico Madrid we usually see?" Lippi asked again.

Everyone nodded, it was indeed the case.

"That's because they are too young and lack experience in knockout rounds!" Lippi gave his own judgment.

"The test of the two teams participating in the Champions League is not only about strength, but more importantly about their psychological quality. Only teams with stable psychological quality can withstand the pressure brought by the knockout stage."

But as soon as Lippi finished speaking, someone immediately put forward different opinions.

"But, Marcello, if you want to say they lack experience, they played well in the knockout round last season in the League Cup."

"No, no, Trone, you were wrong." Lippi smiled and waved his hand to his physical coach, signaling him to sit back to his seat.

"What teams are there in the knockout stage of the League Cup? What's more, it's the League Cup. Although Atletico Madrid had some pursuits at that time, there was not much pressure on performance, but what about now?"

Speaking of this, Lippi swept to every assistant present again. "Now Atletico Madrid is famous and has emerged all the way and has become one of the favorite teams to win the Champions League. Countless fans are looking forward to their winnings."

"Also, the influence of the Champions League is far from comparable to that of the League Cup. I still remember Gao Han once said that the Champions League is their World Cup. Relatively speaking, the League Cup is a bit like the Asian Cup, and even the European Cup is not as good as the European Cup."

"Think about it, although it's all knockout rounds, is the pressure the same?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

Lippi's analysis was very thorough and pointed.

"And, I don't know if you have noticed that Atletico Madrid is not good at playing Serie A teams, especially defensive counterattacking Serie A teams, such as Capello's Roma before, they have struggled to play."

One of the important reasons why Atletico Madrid can beat AC Milan is that Ancelotti played at the beginning of the season without any conservative play, which gives Atletico Madrid an opportunity to take advantage of.

If it is now, it is hard to say that it will be another extremely vulgar and anti-reversal AC Milan.

"Marcello, then you mean..."

Lippi smiled gracefully and calmly, nodded and said, "It's still a defensive counterattack, but after the opening, I forced them to make mistakes!"

At this moment, everyone clearly saw that the silver fox's eyes were really shining.

…………

April 22, evening, Turin, Italy, Alp Stadium.

The stands were full, and the fans accompanied each touch of the players on the court, and their hearts were accelerating. Their emotions fluctuated one after another, and the sounds of praise and boos continued.

Both sides tried their best.

Juventus has ranked the strongest starting lineup, with goalkeepers Buffon, defenses such as Zambrota, Tudor, Montero and Turam, midfielders such as Nedved, Davis, Tacinati and Camoranesi, and forwards are Piero and Trezege.

Atletico Madrid's platoon is the same as in the first round, with goalkeeper Cech, defense line by Jankulovski, Carvalho, Marchena and Roberto, three back midfielders by Deco, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna, front midfielder Kaka, and double forwards by Villa and Torres.

The home team still seems to be using the 442 formation, but in fact the style of playing is not the traditional 442.

First of all, Nedved, which is more like a midfielder than a left side, while Piero actively pulled to the left side, but the position was retracing a little, which looked a bit like a left winger.

French center Trezege is in the middle of the frontcourt.

Camoranesi still occupies the right side, Tacinati and Davis are in the middle of the midfield, but the left back Zambrota is in the front position, almost on the same level as the two midfielders, while Touram, Montero and Tudor are like three defenders.

It is obvious that Juventus has deployed heavy troops throughout the middle lane, increasing the containment of Kaka, and also allowing Nedved and Piero to invade the midfielder.

This made Atletico Madrid play very uncomfortable from the beginning of the game, and never could play at its own pace, and there was no way to talk about passing and controlling. Whether it was the front court offense or the midfield organization, it was very unhappy.

On the other hand, Juventus is not obsessed with the right to the ball at all, focusing on defense and suppression. If you seize the opportunity, you will fight back. If you counterattack is not good, you will immediately turn to defense and never drag it out.

This style of play is a headache for Atletico Madrid.

Gao Han on the sidelines also shook his head and was helpless.

Lippi is Lippi!

Juventus's style of play seems to have completely given up the initiative in the game, but in fact it is focused on defense.

Atletico Madrid seems to have taken the initiative, but the offense fails to create a threat.

At the beginning, the players were able to calm down, but gradually, as the game deepened, although Gao Han and the coach kept calling and reminding each other on the sidelines, the players on the field gradually showed signs of impatience.

The most obvious sign is that the players have become overshooting.

Many people who were obviously not very good at opportunities would have been patiently turned their feet down and controlled the ball, but now they are basically shooting from a long shot directly.

But is it possible to break Buffon's goal with such a purposeless long shot?

This is not surprising at all. Atletico Madrid rarely encounters such games that have an advantage but have no way to start.

Gao Han even used four-star offensive cards and assault cards, but the effect was very little.

These two aces actually failed on Juventus!

This is the first time Gao Han has encountered such a thing!

As the game progressed, Atletico Madrid became more and more impetuous. Gao Han repeatedly called on the sidelines to be calm and rational, but it seemed that there was no effect.

Just as he was hesitating whether to upgrade two skill cards and add another move, Juventus made a threatening attack, Zambrota made a cross from the left, Trezege beat Carvalho at the front of the penalty area, grabbed the first landing point, and headed the ball to Nedved.

As soon as the Czech stopped the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

This surprised everyone in Atletico Madrid.

Marchener decisively abandoned Trezeguet and rushed towards Nedved, and took the opportunity to hit the ball, directly put Nedved on the ground with a single shot.

The referee's whistle suddenly rang!

At the same time, the entire Alp Stadium was booing!

Everyone at Atletico Madrid, including Marchena and Gao Han, was stunned.
Chapter completed!
