Super Marshal

May 14th, night, Calderon Stadium.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, more than 50,000 fans in the entire Calderón Stadium left their seats and stood up to give the Atletico Madrid players the warmest applause.

One to zero, this is the final score of the game.

According to international practice, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

After beating Real Madrid 2-1 away in the first leg, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid again in the second leg with Kaka's goal at home.

The total score of the two rounds was 3 to 1, and Atletico Madrid successfully advanced to the Champions League final!

This result tied Atletico Madrid's best ever European result.

At the moment when the whistle sounded, Gao Han in front of the coaching bench of the home team turned his back to the field, clenched his fists, raised them above his head, and shouted, "Yeah", greatly venting his inner excitement.

In my mind, there was a ding ding ding notification from the coach system.

You don't need to look at him to know that this must be congratulating him for tying the record and winning another game at the same time.

In the past two years, he has become a little numb to such push notifications.

He didn't even go in to have a look at the coaching system. Gao Han walked over and hugged his assistant team one by one, celebrating the team killing the Champions League final.

In the entire stadium, except for the Real Madrid people, everyone was inexplicably excited.

Reaching the Champions League final, this is definitely something that Atlético Madrid did not dare to expect before, and now it has come true!

Because of this, the atmosphere in the entire stadium seemed a little crazy.

"Congratulations, Gao Han." Bosque's voice came from behind Gao Han.

Gao Han hurriedly turned around, saw the outstretched hand of the Real Madrid coach, and quickly clasped it, "Thank you."

"You did perform better and deserved to win." Bosque looked very generous.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "You have also performed very well, especially in the last two games."

In the two semi-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid played better than before, with more blood and fighting spirit.

Others may not have noticed, but Gao Han has noticed that Bosque is reusing Real Madrid's direct line in these two games.

Both Morientes and Guti have been entrusted with important tasks, plus Raul, Hierro, Casillas, Salgado, Elguera and other Real Madrid veterans, Real Madrid feels a bit back to basics in these two rounds .

In fact, after returning to the most primitive Real Madrid after washing away all the lead, this team is more competitive and bloody, playing more like a whole.

As for stars like Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo, in such a Real Madrid team, they no longer have the aura of superstars of the past, but they performed even better and integrated into the whole.

I don't know if he heard Gao Han's words, Bosque felt something in his heart, and he let out a long sigh.

"Many people like superstars, but I miss the Real Madrid of the rebirth of the Jedi even more in 2000."

I'm afraid it's not just because it was Bosque's famous battle.

At that time, Real Madrid was in danger, and Bosque was ordered in the face of danger, but at the critical moment, with the unanimous support of the locker room leaders such as Hierro, Raul, Sanchez, he united the team and turned the tide. Real Madrid also brought the eighth Champions League title in the club's history.

"We at that time were the real and most missed Real Madrid."

Bosque's tone was very sad, but he was smiling.

A head coach who can lead such a team in his lifetime is worth it!

Gao Han could tell that he didn't support the superstar strategy at all, but in Real Madrid, he was just the team's head coach and couldn't make any decisions about transfers and signings, so he could only accept it passively.

So, leaving this position, for him, I don't know whether it is good or not.

"What's your plan next?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Bosque frowned and thought for a while, "They wanted to keep me as the team's technical consultant, but I refused."

Gao Han nodded, if it were him, he would definitely refuse.

What are you kidding?

All the handsome positions have been fired, and they still stay as technical consultants?

Do you really think everyone is as spineless as Barcelona's Ferrer?

"In the past three years, I have lived under pressure every day. I often suffer from insomnia. I have headaches for the team and the game every day. Next, I plan to rest for a period of time and plan slowly in the future."

It can be seen that the Champions League is out, and there is no suspense about Bosque's dismissal.

But his whole person looked relaxed, as if he had lifted a heavy burden.

From this point of view, for Bosque, this may not be a bad thing.

"Then find me for tea when you have time." Gao Han said with a smile.

Bosque laughed straight, "As long as it's your treat, I'm free anytime."

Gao Han shook his head vigorously, looking like he was not nice to others.

Although get out of class is over, but why are you so stingy?

Besides, don't be so confident when rubbing rice!

Blood, toil, sweat and tears!

This is the UEFA Champions League semi-final. After the second round, the Marca newspaper published the headlines on the front page. The accompanying picture is a scene of the players of the two teams on the court after the game.

The headline of the Marca newspaper comes directly from a sentence in Churchill's speech to the British people after the Second World War, "I have nothing but blood, toil, sweat and tears."

In the report, Marca spoke highly of the two rounds of matches between the two teams, and believed that Atletico Madrid has maintained a stable and high-level performance as always, and it is worthy of the name to enter the final.

At the same time, he also used a lot of space to praise Atletico Madrid's head coach Gao Han, believing that he has brought revolutionary changes to the Sheets Corps and is the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's progress to today.

Even in the report, Marca used words such as greatness, giant, and magician, highly praised Gao Han's coaching at Atletico Madrid, and believed that after this season, the Chinese will rank among the top coaches in Europe.

But at the same time, Marca also believes that in the two games, Real Madrid's performance is also worthy of recognition.

"Although the management has not made a clear statement, everyone knows that after the end of this season, Bosque's coaching position will also come to an end."

"Perhaps because of this, he took off the pressure instead, refrigerated the superstars one after another, and instead let Raul, Guti, Hierro and other Real Madrid's local cores act as the main force. As a result, Real Madrid played a rare bloody and tenacious game."

"These two UEFA Champions League semi-finals can be said to be the two games that Real Madrid performed best in more than a dozen Madrid derbies in the past two seasons.

"Perhaps, after watching these two games, Real Madrid's management should reflect on their superstar strategy."

"Of course every giant team needs to have its own superstar and needs to introduce high-level stars, but whether it must be a superstar, or whether it is even worth sacrificing the integrity of the team for the sake of a superstar, is debatable. question."

Not only Marca, but even Aspen, which has always been hailed as the mouthpiece of Florentino, also gave a high evaluation of Bosque's appointment of Morientes this time.

"Although Morientes did not score in the two games, he has proved his strength with his performance. He is worthy of the main starting position given to him by Del Bosque."

In addition, Aspen also gave a very high evaluation of the tenacious defense of Real Madrid players in the face of Atletico Madrid's offensive, especially the defensive midfielder Makelele.

"There is no doubt that Makelele was the most impressive player for Real Madrid in the two legs. His running in the middle of the midfield, his excellent interception and tackling, all left a very impressive impression. .”

"He is like a wall at the Bernabéu. In the storm of the opponent's attack, he always stands in front of the defense line without fear. He has dedicated two consecutive games to a master defensive performance. He is like a defensive player. Zidane."

Aspen also congratulated Atletico Madrid, which defeated Real Madrid and reached the Champions League final.

"Atletico Madrid's ability to reach the final is due to coach Gao Han."

"We also sincerely hope that Atletico Madrid can take home the first St. Blair Cup in club history from Old Trafford."

"But we must remind Gao Han and his players that the Champions League final is not La Liga!"

In addition to Marca and Aspen, other media in Spain also praised Atletico Madrid's performance, but they did not criticize Real Madrid, which performed bloody but regretted losing.

But no one complained about Bosque's dismissal.

Another matchup in the Champions League semi-finals, after AC Milan drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in the first leg, the two sides switched hosts and guests in the same stadium, and the result was still 0-0.

Even after overtime, it was still zero to zero.

What's even more frightening is that the two Serie A teams played very dull, and their tactics were extremely conservative, which is simply outrageous.

The conservative tactics of Ancelotti and Cooper have also been criticized.

Although it is the semi-finals of the Champions League, there is nothing wrong with being conservative, but it is indeed rare to be so conservative.

Of course, this is also the perception of ordinary fans. In the eyes of experienced fans and professionals, the tactical content of these two rounds is quite high, and the fighting skills of the two head coaches are also very targeted.

This is also typical Italian style.

In the end, AC Milan eliminated their rivals in the same city by virtue of a penalty shootout and successfully advanced to the final.

The first and second teams in the first stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage actually met in the final, which immediately became a big topic of interest for fans all over the world.

But compared with last year's AC Milan, Ancelotti's team has completely changed.

If the former Rossoneri was a rare pass-control team in Serie A, then AC Milan is now an extremely conservative Serie A team.

This also added more suspense to the final.

Everyone knows that when Serie A teams play conservative defensive counterattack tactics, no one can easily break through their iron walls.

What's more, AC Milan's midfield can gather a group of ace superstars who have not lost to any team.

On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid, although they performed well and are full of vigor, but it is the first time to enter the Champions League final. The team is young and not good at playing Serie A teams, which is really worrying.

Because of this, the odds offered by William Hill were evenly matched between the two teams.
