"Hey, Vicente, it's me, Gao Han."

"Well, there's nothing wrong. Didn't you agree to treat you to a meal before?"

“Yes, noon, do you have time?”

"Okay, then I'll open a private room, you can come here by yourself."

...

At noon, Bosque appeared on time in a famous Western restaurant in the center of Madrid.

The restaurant manager obviously had prepared a lot and took Boske directly from the independent passage into the private room booked by Gaohan.

As soon as he entered the private room and looked at the table full of delicious food, the Real Madrid coach, who was about to finish class, stared at Gao Han and laughed.

When the restaurant manager went out, he walked to Gao Han and sat down.

"I must have something to do if I actively treat me to dinner for no reason."

Gao Han also smiled slightly, "Didn't this promise to treat you to dinner before? I chose a date and didn't go the same day. Besides, I don't like to owe others, so I'd just invite you earlier."

Both teams still have training in the afternoon, so they both knew it and only ate but did not drink.

Gao Han also never mentioned anything else, but just greeted Boske enthusiastically for dinner.

On the contrary, the introverted Real Madrid coach could not sit still. After the food was over, he took the initiative to open up the conversation.

He was not wrong and directly pointed the topic at the Champions League final.

If you want to talk about the team with the most experienced experience in the Spanish football world today, it must be Real Madrid.

Winning the Champions League three times in five years, this report card is not false.

And in these three times, Boske occupied two of them alone, and the other time he was Heinx's assistant.

Since the team reached the Champions League final, Gao Han has communicated with Heinx many times because Real Madrid led by the Germans at that time met Juventus in the final.

Juventus in the mid-to-late 1990s made it to the Champions League final three times and was the strongest team in Europe.

But that time, Real Madrid defeated the Zebras and won the Champions League with Mijatovic's final goal.

"The Italian teams have never been afraid of the ball control of La Liga teams. They can maintain the compact formation with their own tactical order and the players' tactical qualities, firmly control the key areas, that is, the middle lane. Therefore, to a certain extent, playing with Serie A teams, the most important thing in the technical and tactical level is the ability to break dense defense."

Boske's words made Gao Han, who was listening carefully, agree with him.

The so-called "sports" conflict is not aimless, but it is true.

Just as Aragones once said, Camacho's early Spanish national team was invincible when facing other teams, and the pass control and offensive style made the Spanish national team invincible.

But when they meet Italian teams, Spain can't play anymore.

When you come and go on the football field, you will do nothing more than two things, ball rights and space.

There are certainly advantages to controlling the ball, but once the offensive space is occupied by the opponent, no matter how much ball rights are, it is difficult to create a threat.

All football tactics revolve around these two things, each with its own focus.

"To be honest, I'm not particularly worried about your team's ability to break intensive defense."

Boske looked at Gao Han and spoke his opinion frankly.

"From your game against Roma and Juventus, your ability to break dense defense is pretty good. Whether it is the player's personal ability, team cooperation, or even free kick tactics, long shots outside the penalty area, they have a pretty good level."

Gao Han is confident about this.

"But the biggest test of playing in Italian teams is not skills, but psychology."

Boske's words made Gao Han frown.

"The first thing is to maintain enough patience and break the intensive defense, especially Italy's intensive defense. If you don't have patience, they can't do it. Their defense is like a wall of iron. The more anxious the more you are, the less you can start."

Gao Han nodded repeatedly with deep understanding.

It was better when playing Roma. When playing against Juventus' knockout match, Atletico Madrid exposed the players' overly impatient habits. This is related to the atmosphere and pressure of the knockout match, and also to the players' age and resume.

In the final analysis, lack of experience and young.

"I think you're doing it right now. Let the players relax and avoid being too tight."

Gao Han nodded, and he really thought so in his heart.

"Do you know, why did Valencia lose so badly in the final in 2000?"

"Let me tell me." Gao Han said with interest.

Boske thought about it, "Cooper's Valencia is a miracle. Ranieri has laid a solid foundation. Cooper has sublimated the temperament of this team. In just two or three years, he has become a European powerhouse and is only one step away from the top team."

"But we had a terrible record that season, poor league performance, and bad start of the Champions League, but you must be clear about one thing, all of this has nothing to do with this game."

"It's the Champions League final. No matter what happened before or after, it has nothing to do with this final."

"What determines its victory or defeat is only the performance of the two teams in these ninety minutes, or 120 minutes."

Gao Han understood that he had heard these words more than once.

"Cooper is a very stable head coach, but strangely, in that game, he made a serious mistake. He gave up Valencia's best defensive counterattack and played against us."

"In the game, they created a lot of opportunities, and the cooperation was smooth and threatening, but they performed quite badly in the last and most critical final kick."

When Boske said this, he hissed and thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, they had more than a dozen shots, but only once shot directly. It can be imagined that their mentality was completely out of control at that time."

"When we scored the first goal by Morientes, I already had a very strong feeling. The second, third, or even the fourth goal will definitely come, because you can clearly feel the impatient mentality of Valencia players, and all you need to do is to calm down and fight back."

"I believe that as a head coach, Cooper must have considered this factor and even made targeted arrangements, but in the game, when the player's emotions are out of control, what the head coach can do is already very small."

Gao Han felt a little cold in his heart, and he could feel Cooper's mood at that time.

The head coach is like the brain of a team, but the players are the brothers and sisters of the team. If the brothers and sisters are disobedient, the brain has no choice but to do anything.

"All teams and all players will definitely show confidence before such an important final and will definitely say that they are full of confidence in defeating their opponents, but only they can know their truest thoughts, and even the head coach cannot fully grasp them." Boske reminded earnestly.

Gao Han nodded constantly.

He often communicates with players, which is one of his major characteristics.

But in fact, he himself knows that players are individuals, and even when chatting in private, they often don’t reveal their truest thoughts.

Because they have concerns.

If the head coach is allowed to let the outside world know that they are not confident enough or even timid, will it affect their starting lineup?

There are really not too many such examples in the history of European football.

Not to mention a major event like the Champions League final, which is comparable to the World Cup final. Everyone is under heavy pressure on the field, and their performance on the spot will definitely be affected. The key is to rely on psychological quality.

In this case, Atletico Madrid's youth is the biggest disadvantage.

As for the previous series of winning streaks and how outstanding it is, it has nothing to do with this final.

"To be honest, Atletico Madrid has not had obvious weaknesses, and both offense and defense are excellent, which makes them have more choices in the game, but AC Milan is also very good, especially after Ancelotti adopts a more conservative tactical style, they have the most luxurious iron barrel formation in the world."

The most luxurious iron barrel array?

Gao Han could only smile bitterly at this, wondering if he was praising or defaming?

But no matter what, Ancelotti's tactical adjustments are important to AC Milan's ability to reach the Champions League final.

If he continued the gameplay of the past and control in the early stage of the season, it would probably be better than AC Milan.

"For you, this game will be an unprecedented challenge. If you want to listen to my opinion, I will tell you that you must be steady at the start and do your best to avoid losing the ball first."

When Boske spoke this, he looked solemn.

"You know, facing an Italian team, if you lose the ball first, you will basically die!"

Of course Gao Han understood.

"Okay, remember!" Gao Han raised the drink cup in his hand, "Come on, Vicente, thank you, wait until I come back, and I will invite you to drink."

Boske also smiled slightly, "Hope is a celebration wine!"

The two of them finished their meal in the restaurant and drove back.

On the way back to Mahada Enda Sports City, Gao Han was thinking hard all the way.

If it is other aspects, he can come up with other tricks, but this aspect of psychology is indeed a headache.

It’s impossible to imitate Lin Xia’s appearance, and encourage me, everyone, don’t lose to that damn duck?

Gao Han smiled and shook his head.

If psychological problems are easy to solve, other head coaches may have solved them long ago, and there will not be so many out of control on the spot.

What's more, now we are talking about the Champions League final.

How many professional players can't play a Champions League final in their entire lives?

Who wouldn't be nervous?

Not to mention players, even as the head coach, Gao Han himself felt nervous and nervous, so he went to Heinx, Bosque, and Aragones for advice and experience.

On the technical and tactical level, Gao Han is not worried and has enough confidence, but on the psychological level of the players...

But since they have reached this point, they can only bite the bullet and go to the point no matter what.
