"Actually, Real Madrid's lineup is not too easy to guess. The goalkeeper position must be Navas. The defense is also very fixed. Marcelo, the left back, will definitely play him if he is not injured. The central defender combination is Ramos Gavarane.

The right back is Carvajal. The three midfielders are Casemiro as the single defensive midfielder, Kroos on the left, and Modric on the right. If there are three forwards, Benzema and Bale, then the left

This position may be played by Asensio, or it may be Vazquez, or Isco. In fact, it is easy to guess, after all, it is too obvious in their 18-man roster, so this is a big problem for them.

In the open-card game, we are against them. Do you think Zidane will know some of our players? Maybe he doesn’t know at all!"

Ten Hahe naturally said this to stimulate the players' desire to fight and to say something ironic.

In fact, as a professional coach, how could he not fully understand his opponent before a single-game final?

Especially now that we are in the Internet era with clear division of labor.

Zidane does not need to have watched the Ajax game with his own eyes. Generally, there will be a video analyst position in the coaching staff.

This job is mainly responsible for a video analysis of all the recent games of the team's next opponent, analyzing their goals, analyzing their conceded goals, analyzing their substitutes and timing of substitutions. In short, everything will be analyzed.

The purpose of this is to help the head coach.

And just the day before the game, at Real Madrid, Zidane did not hold a meeting with the players because it was unnecessary. These players are all experienced in many battles. There is no need to hold a pep rally before the European Super Cup.

.

But Zidane and his coaching staff must have a meeting.

Zidane sat at one end of the conference table, while at the other end, Real Madrid's video analyst Andy controlled the computer, and the computer was connected to a projection screen.

"Boss, you see, this is a formation change of Ajax in the Ajax preseason five-game match. In the first game, they used 433, but in the second half of the game, they changed to

4231 with double midfielders, and this has been the case for the next 4 games. Through these 5 games in the preseason, I made heat maps and offensive data charts, and analyzed that Ajax’s most threatening offensive player is Henry

Tral, followed by Neres."

"What about the Chinese? I saw in the highlights that he also scored a lot of goals."

"This young player is called Lin Kedi. He is only 16 years old and performed well in the preseason. However, this game is the European Super Cup after all. I don't think he will appear in-"

"You think? If you have watched the videos of these games, you should know that he is the most threatening player in Ajax's offense in these games. Even if he may not, then he will not

Coming on as a substitute? Isn't this a big threat? And I watched the Europa League final last season. He is a player who has completed a hat trick in the Europa League final. Such a player must be a big-hearted player.

Pay more attention."

"Understood, boss, I will make adjustments."

"Okay, next, let's discuss the arrangements for tomorrow. There is no need to discuss other positions. We can send the strongest, mainly the left winger position of the three forwards, Asensio, Vazquez and Isco."

, these three people can play, but who will play represents two different styles. What is the training status of these three managers?"

After Zidane finished speaking, he looked at the assistant coach.

Like Ten Hag, Zidane also hands over the team's training work to assistant coaches. In fact, many head coaches now do this, after all, there are specialties in the field.

"In terms of training status in the recent week, Isco is in the best training status, Vazquez is second, and Asensio is mainly doing recovery training this week."

"That's it, let's go to Isco."

Zidane ended the topic without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, the coaching staff meeting ended.

------------------

August 9, 2017, 18:30 pm local time in North Macedonia.

The European Super Cup is about to begin.

Zidane already knows Ajax's lineup at this time.

"You really gave up on the child? This old man is really courageous."

Zidane noticed that the opponent's head coach also had a bald head, and couldn't help but feel a fondness for him.

But he’s really not very familiar with the opponent’s head coach.

Walking out of the player tunnel and in front of the coach's command area, Ten Hag took the initiative to find Zidane.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries.

There's nothing to say about Zidane's way of treating others.

"By the way, how should you pronounce your name? Ten Hag or Ten Hag. I have read the news in the Netherlands. It seems that they call you Ten Hag over there, but the media in Spain call you Ten Hag?"
p>

Ten Hag was obviously stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Zidane, a famous coach who was obviously his junior in the coaching field but whose achievements far exceeded him, would actually ask himself about such a small matter.

Of course, many people don’t think the name is a minor issue.

"In English, it's Ten Hag, but my family has called me Ten Hag since I was a child. The last word is pronounced he, so you can call me whatever you want. I'm more used to others calling me Ten Hag."

"Well, Mr. Ten Hag, let us enjoy today's game."

After saying that, the two shook hands and patted their backs, then separated and returned to their respective command areas.

Ten Hahe, who returned to the command area, said to himself.

"I'm not here to enjoy the game. I'm here to compete for the championship!"

The voice was very low and he was mumbling to himself. Only Ten Hahe could hear it. This was what Ten Hahe said to himself.

------------------

"Link's enemy is on the roster!"

"Is it surprising that Link is in the squad? Didn't you watch the preseason? Did he score 3 goals or 4 goals? He was the main player in the next three games. It would have been better if he didn't make the squad for this European Super Cup.

It’s funny.”

"Hey, Lin defeated the enemy!"

"Really or not? Link defeated the enemy? The bald man is really smart and dares to let Link defeat the enemy. You are awesome 13."

This is a reaction from most fans on Chinese social media platforms.

Because after the roster was released, Lin Kedi entered the roster, and Lin Kedi’s name became a hot search on the Chinese Internet.

Lin Kedi's fans were afraid that some fans who didn't understand football would scold him when they saw that Lin Kedi didn't or didn't play in the game, so they started to prepare in advance.

In the fandom, this means explosion-proof. (Maybe it’s not quite right, it’s a word I’ve heard before)

Therefore, Lin Kedi’s fans and fans posted a large number of posts on social media and forums with good intentions.

"Lin Kedi is only 16 years old. Isn't it normal that the European Super Cup is so important?"

"Preseason games are used to test tactics, so it's normal for Lin Ke to not play in the official games."

These two arguments emerged.

But it is obvious that these fans of Lin Kedi are not as courageous as Ten Hahe.
Chapter completed!
