Field

Torch, smoke, drum sound, flag! And the blood-red poster that occupied most of the stands at any time! Countless fires were beating in the stands, and large pieces of smoke covered the entire stands. The shocking drum sounded from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, and the flags swept across the sky, and the banners with "Welcome to Hell" written in blood-red fonts were hung on the stands.

Against both sides, Galatasaray played against Serie A giants AC Milan. Although AC Milan performed very poorly in the past two years, they came from behind to win the Serie A championship last season. After returning to the Champions League, AC Milan planned to show off their skills in the Champions League. However, after being divided into a group with Hertha Berlin, Chelsea and Galatasaray, their results were quite average. Even so, if they can beat Galatasaray in the last round, they can qualify in the group.

Entering the second stage of the group stage, however, at the Ali Samiyan Stadium, they were defeated 3-2 by the crazy Galatasaray. The crazy atmosphere of the entire stadium made AC Milan's big-name stars almost unable to perform their true level. After the defeat in this game, AC Milan, who had the opportunity to qualify for the third place to play in the League Cup, did not make any profit, and was directly overtaken by Galatasaray, leaving the European arena at the bottom. Galatasaray also relied on this great victory to qualify for the League Cup!

This is a special videotape. There are not many games in the center of the stadium, but instead it exudes more the horror atmosphere in the stands - this is a compressed version obtained by Joseto from espn. There is no other purpose, to let Mallorca players experience the home atmosphere of Galatasaray.

From now on, his approach is very effective.

The players of Mallorca looked at the TV in front of them in surprise. Although the sound and live effects were released from the TV screen and gave a discount, they were still shocking!

The players of Mallorca have not seen the world. At least, except for Tristan being the newcomer this season, even the younger Etoo has experienced the home atmosphere of a stadium like Camp Nou on the bench. However, it has to be said that the crazy degree of Spanish fans is not too high, or their civilized viewing level is very high. There are football idiots in the UK, and Italian fans often cause trouble. In the four major leagues, only rigorous and disciplined Bundesliga fans and relatively mild La Liga fans rarely do anything excessive on the sidelines. Although there are crazy shouts and racial shouts, they rarely see such crazy insults and off-field fights.

"Ac Milan's bus was smashed by a rock while heading to the stadium. Before the game the night before, the hotel they were in was harassed... These guys never look at the consequences when doing things, so I hope everyone can be mentally prepared that we will not only face opponents on the stadium, but also opponents outside the stadium."

Looking at the serious expressions of the Mallorca players, Jose smiled. He knew that the players had already become vigilant enough, which was enough. He didn't want the players to become ruthless: "However, this time it was better for us. Why did Galatasaray do so too much at that time? It was because they thought that the game was already the last round of the group stage, and they didn't need to go away against AC Milan anymore, so they were not afraid of AC Milan fans' reports.

Again, in the previous two home games, because they had to face Hertha Berlin and Chelsea away, they did not use such off-court means to harass the other side. As a result, Chelsea played them at their home court with a five-to-zero... And we played the home game first. Even if they wanted to harass us, they had to consider that there would be another game in Mallorca next. So we don't need to worry about their off-court moves, we just need to be mentally prepared and not be scared by their home atmosphere."

The players of Mallorca nodded thoughtfully. Nadal frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Mr. Jose, I'm very surprised. Are the people in Galatasaray not afraid that they will go to Milan to participate in the game in the future? After all, this kind of off-court interference will not be welcomed by everyone."

"That's right, Miguel, normal people will naturally have concerns about this, but the Turks may not think so. They are thinking that if they take advantage of the situation now, the future will be the future... Besides, they can still express their innocence at that time, saying that it was a spontaneous thing done by the fans and has nothing to do with the club. By the way, they can also appeal, hoping that the other party will be more generous and not always remember the mistakes made by others..." Jose laughed.

"How could such a thing happen? If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price!" Nino raised his eyebrows and said loudly.

"You can't resist the shamelessness of someone." Jose laughed loudly, and the soft laughter of the players also sounded in the conference room.

"So, we should be careful when we go to Turkey this time. Before we go, the club will give each of you earmuffs. If someone makes a noise, it will be better to wear earmuffs and sleep. There is no need to worry about other aspects. No matter how loud their fans in the stands shout, they will not rush down and stab you two times. On the contrary, I, the head coach, are a little more dangerous." Jose said after shrugging his shoulders.

The players burst into laughter, and Jose said that if there were any dangerous players who rushed down and seemed to play attack, it would be more dangerous for the coaches on the sidelines, rather than the players on the field.

"Next, I'll talk to you about the opponent's key players."

Jose turned off the TV and wrote down a few numbers on the tactical board near the other wall in the conference room.

"Nine, Hakan Suk, has similar characteristics to Diego, has strong height and strong points, and has excellent ability to make balls. It is more comprehensive than Diego, but in my opinion, the impact is not as good as Diego."

Hearing Jose's next few words, Tristan, who was originally a little dissatisfied, snorted proudly and then stopped talking.

"No. 10, Haji. Midfield conspirator, technology and consciousness are all top-notch, but this season is his last season, and his physical fitness has dropped a lot. Vicente, this game may be more focused on defense and entangled Haji with Francesco. No matter what method is used, let him not have too many opportunities to get the ball, and force him to increase his running and consume physical energy, which can reduce his threat to the lowest level..."

"One other person to pay attention to in their midfield is right forward Okan. His skills are very good, but his speed is average, just entangle him..."

"In offense, the two wings are mainly attacking. Their usual tactics are three or five. The two wings are their weaknesses. Diego is restrained in the middle, and Samuel can break more from both ribs, which is their weakness... In short, in the away game, we have to seize every opportunity to counterattack. Score a goal, and we have a little advantage, and then return to the home court and directly defeat them!"

"The specific tactic is still defensive counterattack, which is what we are best at and familiar with. Fighting back and forth with those Turks is not a good choice. They are physically strong and let them run, we don't need to let the game enter their rhythm. The Turks have crazy factors in their character, and after attacking, they ignore the flaws behind them. This is exactly where we want to use!"

As Jose talked about the tactics of the next game and the responsibilities of each player, the players' minds gradually became attracted, and their psychology began to slowly reach the most suitable state for the game - cautious, but not afraid of their opponents.

It is very important to adjust the players' psychology before the game. If you have a strong and mature team, this link will not make the head coach very difficult. Jose is now relatively lucky. Although Mallorca, who is mainly veterans, may lack some passion, but has their own abilities in psychological adjustment. After all, their top leagues in so many years are not in vain. I have seen everything, at least they have experienced most of the things that will happen on the sidelines.

Looking at the serious players, Jose nodded secretly. As long as the players become serious and do not feel afraid of their opponents, the players have this mentality, Jose will have the confidence to compete with Galatasaray!

On March 15, Mallorca flew to Istanbul. During the previous day, Mallorca continued to conduct targeted training, and in the past two days in Istanbul, all they needed to do was to recover their physical strength.

For two consecutive nights, Jose took several members of the coaching staff to wait in the hotel lobby. Although Jose did not think Galatasaray would be so stupid that he would go to Mallorca to participate in a away game in a week, he would use off-court means to deal with Mallorca, but he should be a little careful.

Jose divided the assistant coaches into two classes. Half of them were in the hotel lobby to prevent any emergencies, and the other half were resting and preparing for the next day's training. Jose had no problem not participating in the training. The tactical drills had been done in Mallorca. There was no need to complete his tactical training with people everywhere. Jose did not believe that there could be any confidentiality effect on other people's territory - because if he wanted to inquire about the opponent's tactics, he would definitely be on his territory, with enough means to avoid the opponent's defense and get what he wanted.

For these veterans in Mallorca, maintaining their state is better than targeted tactics. They are basically defensive players. These defensive players only need to have some targeted defensive tactics, and it is relatively simple. Their tacit understanding is very good. As long as they are in good condition, they will not fluctuate too much in their state on the court.

Natal gives back every day with good news. The players are in good condition and are not afraid of the opponent's home atmosphere. The old players' physical fitness recovers quickly in a relaxed environment. The young players in the frontcourt are also eager to defeat their opponents away and lay a solid foundation for entering the semi-finals of the League Cup!

"No," Jose nodded slightly, then thought for a while and said, "We will be half an hour ahead of time when we set off tomorrow."

"Half an hour in advance? Why?" Natal asked strangely.

"Let them adapt to the opponent's home atmosphere better." Jose smiled slightly: "If you extend the warm-up time a little longer, the players' bodies will not cool down... With half an hour, I think players should be able to deal with those crazy fans more freely. It will also be beneficial to reduce their adaptation time in the game."

Natal nodded in a clear way. This is just a detail, but all victory is made up of various details. Victory will not fall from the sky.
