46 Preparations for both sides

46 Preparations for both sides

There are only two days left before the Champions League final between Bayern and Porto. Compared with the excitement of the previous period, both sides have calmed down and started preparing for the final.

Bayern has all the information on Porto, thanks to Leon's suggestion to Heathfield, Bayern's scouts brought back all Porto's available game videos of this season.

As for Porto, Mourinho also has Bayern's information. Although his information is not as rich as Bayern's, but for Mourinho, the information is enough.

The beginning of a war does not really start until the war begins. Now, the match between Bayern and Porto has already begun. Regarding Mourinho's success, it has to be said that his research on opponents and intelligence are of great importance to modern times. Football is so important.

For example, if you can predict the opponent's tactics in the game very early, then you can have enough time to make arrangements for your opponent. This is a very scary thing, because once you really target the opponent on the court, then you can think about it, what will your players think? They will definitely think, coach, you are amazing, we will definitely win...

Sometimes, it is the human heart that decides the outcome of a game.

Look at the World Cup in Germany in 2006, the Germans defeated Argentina in a penalty shootout with a small note, and in the World Cup in 2010, Loew has mastered everything in every press conference since he entered the knockout round The remarks in it are even more shocking.

In fact, these things are not groundless, but because Loew's German team has indeed mastered all the information about the opponent, and even what time Messi slept last night, I am afraid that Loew has information.

You know, this is not an exaggeration, but intelligence has become part of the game for modern football.

I am afraid that many Chinese fans will still remember the Chinese youth team that shocked the world in the 2005 World Youth Championship. They won three out of three group matches, and lost to the German team in the knockout round only because of a few key decisions by the referee...

But how many people know that the Chinese youth team is certainly strong, but before they went to the Netherlands, the German Krautchen had already mastered all the information on the three opponents of the Chinese youth team in the group stage!

What Bayern and Porto are doing at this moment is to analyze the opponent, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent's players in each position, and then analyze the opponent's tactics, and finally figure out what kind of lineup the opponent may line up in the final. What kind of tactics.

Mourinho is a master at analyzing tactics, and Bayern's Heathfield is also the same. When the head coaches on both sides were staying up late watching the game video, the two head coaches almost coincidentally suddenly appeared in their respective rooms in the middle of the night. yelled...

"Is that so?" Heathfield happily put away the tape, and then excitedly wrote something in his notebook.

And in the hotel where Porto stayed, Mourinho was also very excited, "As long as this is done, Bayern can be restricted! This is where Porto's victory lies!"

The two head coaches have found the weaknesses of their opponents almost successively.

For football games, the greatest magic weapon for defeating the enemy is undoubtedly to use one's own strengths to fight against the opponent's weaknesses. Being able to find the opponent's weaknesses is really critical and important for football games.

This is why Mourinho and Heathfield are so happy.

...

The next day, today is the last practice before the game between Bayern and Porto. The day after tomorrow is the final. Both teams will give the players a day off tomorrow. Excessive training will not have any impact on the game. This is Mourinho and Heathfield common point of view.

Instead of letting the players run to the training ground tomorrow, it is better to let them relax and adjust in the hotel.

Bayern is at their training base, they will go to Gelsenkirchen tomorrow, while Porto is at a training ground outside Gelsenkirchen.

Because it was the last practice, both Bayern and Porto chose closed training. All the media were expelled after visiting the 15-minute jogging training.

In Leon's memory, Heathfield has not used many closed training sessions. Could it be that the old coach found a magic weapon to defeat the enemy last night?

Leon looked at Heathfield very curiously, and the content of Heathfield's training today really made the Bayern players very strange, because Heathfield asked the Bayern players to practice "flopping" in a training session first.

And then, in the second training session, Bayern's main team was required to play the ball non-stop under the crazy siege of the sandbag team, and there must be no half-stop.

In the third training session, Bayern practiced long shots...

"Practice flopping because Mourinho's Porto has a lot of defensive moves. Ferreira, Valente, Maniche, and Costiani all have big moves in defense and are often attacked. Complaints from the opponent to the referee, proper and realistic flops can win the sympathy of the referee... The reason for adding a kick to the ball is because Porto is a team that is very good at crazy siege, and the key to cracking this crazy siege There is only one way, and that is to shoot the ball continuously. As for long-range shots... the team that plays Mourinho must have long-range shots, because Mourinho will definitely deploy troops in the backcourt when necessary, he will not What kind of tactics do you care about? The simplest tactic on the football field is to force a penalty kick by placing a bus..." Leon almost finished talking about Heathfield's intentions in today's training session. So he knows how to deal with Mourinho's team, and he can guess Heathfield's meaning by following the clues.

But Heathfield came to the conclusion through his one-night research, and it was so sharp and to the point.

"But that's not enough. Mourinho is a team that is good at adapting on the spot, and Porto must know where our weaknesses lie..." Well, these are out of Leon's control. Because Bayern really doesn't have any good central defenders.

In Gelsenkirchen, Porto's training ground, Mourinho is also asking Porto's players to do some special training according to their own meaning.

The most interesting one has always been the attack with big feet directly from the backcourt. For Portuguese players who like to hold the ball at their feet, the head coach's intention makes them very puzzled.

Isn't the height of the Germans very high, why do they still play long passes?

Of course, no one dares to oppose Mourinho's request, because the changes Mourinho has brought to Porto in the past two seasons are obvious to all!

If the long pass in the first training session puzzled many Porto players, then in the second training session, Mourinho asked the second sandbag team to besiege the main team, which made the Porto players a little dissatisfied Now, is it because the opponent is Bayern that we have to put up an iron bucket formation?

And even in the previous iron barrel formation, Mourinho would ask the players to counterattack, but today, Mourinho only asked the main team to defend.

In Porto's third training session, Mourinho asked Porto's players to practice running back and forth. He asked the forwards to run back to the midfielder.

Although the Porto players did not quite understand why Mourinho did this in these three training sessions, after a short period of dissatisfaction, all the Porto players chose to believe in Mourinho almost without exception, because the reason is very simple , Mourinho is a person who can lead them to create miracles. He has created many miracles. The Porto players believe that miracles will continue to happen.

In fact, if Leon watched Porto's three training sessions in Gelsenkirchen, he would definitely be moved with emotion. In the first training session, the long pass and slamming style of play are obviously known to Mourinho. Bayern's central defenders like to have the habit of taking off the top. What if Bayern makes a low-level mistake in the final? Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, so Mourinho must be prepared for Bayern's possible low-level mistakes.

In the second training session, training with the bus, Mourinho's idea was already very simple. If Porto is really at a disadvantage in the field, then the whole team will come back, and at worst, Bayern will be forced to a penalty kick.

In the third training session, Mourinho asked the whole team to practice turning back and running. In fact, he asked the players to quickly return to defense during the game, and to pay attention to their own positions when returning to defense. Mourinho Ao believes that Porto will definitely have a chance to counterattack, but once the counterattack fails, Porto's players must return to the defense in the shortest possible time to avoid being counterattacked by Bayern in turn.

Mourinho's pertinence is indeed self-evident. The success of this rebellious Portuguese middle-aged handsome guy is by no means accidental, and his success is inevitable.

In this world, how many people are mediocre who can really sit in that position?

The decisive battle will start the day after tomorrow. Both Bayern and Porto have made sufficient preparations. You must know that in order to ensure that Porto players can eat the meals they are used to every day, Mourinho asked the Porto club to invite several chefs to accompany the team Came to Gelsenkirchen.

On Bayern's side, German players can eat delicious German dishes, and South American players can also eat meals from their hometown. Just because the two sides attach importance to food, we can see the preparations of Bayern and Porto.

Mourinho is a very rigorous person, training, tactics... He almost thought of everything he could think of. For Mourinho, this Champions League final is very important, and it is very important for Porto , is very important for Portugal, and it is also very important for himself.

Bayern and Porto, both sides have made sufficient preparations, which can be seen from all aspects. Everything is for the Champions League final at the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen the day after tomorrow!
