Prominence in Football Community

After spending a pleasant day with Wu Lei and his wife, Gao Zheng returned to Majada Wengda.

Before the start of training, coach Simeone had a meeting with the team members about the next meeting of the Champions League final.

Just like the reporters asked him, he also asked the players: "What do you think about the upcoming Champions League final?"

The team's captain Gabi stood up: "We hope to beat Real Madrid in the final, boss. Take revenge for what happened two seasons ago!"

His words were immediately recognized and echoed by other players. Even those players who were not in the team at all two seasons ago expressed their desire to kill Real Madrid.

The team's performance made Simeone very satisfied, and it seems that the morale is available.

So he nodded: "But it's not easy to beat Real Madrid. Although we haven't lost to them in the league, we haven't beaten them in the Champions League either. I hope you understand this-revenge requires With great effort and cost, this game will not be easy. It is even more difficult than our away games against Bayern Munich and Barcelona."

In the away game against Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid lost 1:2. In the end, if it weren't for Gao Zheng's goal, Atletico Madrid might have been eliminated. The same is true for the away game against Barcelona. Although Atletico Madrid played well in that game, they lost 0:3 in the end.

Simeone used these two games as examples to warn his players that they have a revenge mentality, but don't be too careless because of this, thinking that as long as the whole team wants revenge, this game can be won.

Not even close.

"In the next two weeks, we will conduct a series of training for this game, and at the same time arrange two warm-up games. I hope everyone will cheer up. I know that everyone is very tired after a season, But at this time, there is no other way but to grit your teeth and persist. If you want revenge, you must show the determination to revenge!" Simeone said to everyone.

"Don't worry, boss. We will do anything to beat Real Madrid!" someone said.

"That's right, since that final, I still have dreams about that game... I can't swallow my breath if I don't beat Real Madrid!"

"This time we will never let Real Madrid step on us to lift the trophy!"

The crowd was excited.

Simeone smiled: "Okay, let's train seriously. This time, it's our turn to make history!"

He is now available to answer questions from reporters about the Champions League final and Real Madrid.

Because he and the players have reached a consensus.

He knew the players weren't going to get nervous or stressed out by being aggressive.

On the contrary, if he is too conservative and modest, it may cause dissatisfaction among the players... I feel that the head coach looks down on them too much.

When Benitez was fired, even the most optimistic Real Madrid fans could not have imagined that after only half a season, their team would reach the Champions League final and hope to win the eleventh Champions League in the club's history trophy.

After all, the situation in Real Madrid was really bad.

Especially the 0:4 loss at home to Barcelona is simply a shame and a shame.

This is the second worst defeat of Real Madrid at home against Barcelona in history, with a net loss of 4 goals, second only to their 0:5 loss at home to Barcelona in 1974.

Since that game, everyone has been discussing Benitez's dismissal.

Later, after Benitez drew with Valencia 2:2, he really dismissed get out of class.

The successor is Zinedine Zidane, the coach of the second team Castilla.

Although Zidane was one of the most influential and successful players in the history of European football in his player era, he is the idol of countless professional players and a winner in life.

But in the field of coaching, he still needs to prove himself.

Before coaching the first team of Real Madrid, he only had the experience of coaching the second team of Castilla.

This makes people not optimistic about Zidane's coaching career in the Real Madrid first team.

We must know that there is no shortage of lessons learned from those players who were very popular in their era, but after switching to head coaches, they were completely unable to make a move.

On the contrary, many successful head coaches in the football world have made great achievements in the player era, and they may not even be players. If they are not head coaches, many people may not know that there are people like them in this world.

Like Mourinho, like Marcelo Lippi, like Arsene Wenger...

As strong as the "ball king" Maradona, his coaching performance after switching careers and becoming the head coach is also not good.

In the 2010 World Cup, he led Argentina, which had successor Messi, but failed to break through Germany in the World Cup. After the World Cup, he left sadly.

His coaching is often more of a gimmick than a real coaching level.

Although Real Madrid trained Zidane as the head coach of the team in the future, when he temporarily took over Benitez, everyone felt that this was just a transition. After all, in the middle of the league, A good head coach is already hard to find, plus coaching a team like Real Madrid, any head coach needs to think about it, and it is impossible to make a decision in a short time.

This led to the team needing an improvised firefighter.

Many people predict that Zidane's job will be at most until the end of the season, and then in the summer, Real Madrid will find a more suitable person to take over his job, and he may return to Castilla to continue training and gain experience.

On China's Internet, the "beacon" that Xiao Yingying believed in posted a special Weibo when Zidane took office: "Don't think that Real Madrid can counterattack Barcelona by replacing Zidane. Not optimistic about Zidane's coaching ability!"

The results of it?

Zidane led Real Madrid unbeaten in seven rounds, scoring five goals in the first two games. Real Madrid is on full fire!

In some games, you don't know what's going on. It's clear that Real Madrid is the underdog, but Real Madrid always wins in the end.

When you watch Real Madrid's games, you can't see any different tactical ideas from others. This Real Madrid team seems to be playing in the same strain as the football left by Mourinho's era.

So at that time, many netizens ridiculed Zidane's Real Madrid as "X**T" tactics, but such X**T always wins in the end.

So everyone thinks that Zidane is the son of destiny, with extraordinary mysterious power.

What he coaches Real Madrid is not tactics, but "metaphysics".

There are also Chinese fans who posted a picture of Zidane. In an old photo, Zidane has turned into a Taoist, wearing a robe, holding a seven-star saponin flag, and in the middle of the hat on his head is written With a "Xuan" character and a fairy-like appearance, although he looks like a foreigner, it doesn't seem to be inconsistent at all. It makes people think that Zidane should be like this.

There is a couplet on the left and right sides: Qi Xuanzong has boundless mana, he loves to kick and win.

The horizontal inscription in the middle: God's chosen one.

Zidane is indeed so mysterious.

Although everyone can't understand his tactics and always feel that there is nothing surprising about it, Real Madrid's results are good.

Because they were pulled too far by Atletico Madrid in the league, they were unable to compete for the championship in the end. But it doesn't mean that their performance in the league is not good enough.

The 0:1 loss at home to Atletico Madrid was the last league game they lost this season. Then Real Madrid led a 12-game winning streak under the leadership of Zidane.

That included a 2-1 away win over Barcelona.

The loss to Atletico Madrid became the only league game that Zidane lost after coaching Real Madrid.

Real Madrid, whose up-and-down performance under the leadership of Benitez in the first half of the season, has been reborn.

In the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid's performance is even better. Except for losing 0:2 away to Wolfsburg in the first leg of the quarter-finals, Real Madrid made great progress all the way and reached the final.

At the beginning, Real Madrid, which everyone thought was a waste of this season, had the opportunity to compete for the Champions League again!

Now in the UEFA Champions League final, I met my old opponent again, and also defeated him. Many Real Madrid fans began to look forward to the eleventh Champions League trophy...
