When the players, led by team leader Mathieu Le Tissier, happily boarded the luxury yacht rented by the team on the Tejo River in Lisbon, admiring the charming scenery of the Tejo River, in the hotel, Bielsa But he is receiving the visiting Klopp, Tuchel, and the head coach of tonight's final opponent, Simeone.
If the media caught this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
In fact, some people must doubt that Simeone is here to discuss the tactical arrangements for the night with Bielsa, right?
Klopp had officially resigned from Dortmund a few days ago, and in a few days he officially announced that he would take over Inter Milan.
As for Inter Milan and Mazzarri, it ended with Mazzarri taking the initiative to resign.
It can be said that Fassone, Blanca and others were very effective in handling this matter, and everyone was happy.
Bielsa did not stay specifically to greet this group of visitors, but because he wanted the players to be more relaxed.
A trip to Lisbon was decided by Master Huan personally after the team temporarily adjusted their plan at noon yesterday.
Just for this, the team has to spend a lot of money.
At the same time, in order to avoid putting pressure on the players and allow them to have more fun, the coaching staff, including Bielsa and Luis Borini, did not participate.
They were only led by Matthew Le Tissier, the team leader who has the best relationship with the players. team, accompanied by sports psychology consultant Dan Abraham.
I believe that at this moment, they should be on the yacht and having a lot of fun.
Several professional European coaches gathered together, and the topic quickly turned to football.
Klopp, Tuchel, and even Simeone all came with an attitude of learning from experience, and Bielsa did not hide his secrets.
After all, they will coach Master Huan's team next, so he even Southampton's pre-match plans are all out.
As a result, this appearance made the other three people stunned.
How to say too much It is as thick as more than a hundred pages of A4 paper.
It records the physical and psychological data of each player in detail, marking various details that must be paid attention to and pay attention to.
Many details are even unbelievably detailed.
"Do you arrange so carefully before and after every game?"
Simeone was a little unbelievable.
He thinks that he is also a coach who pays great attention to details, but compared with Southampton's cumbersome and complicated pre-game arrangements, he feels that his own is child's play.
Just like the psychological assessment of players, Southampton not only makes specific time arrangements, but also includes statistics on each player's past personality and psychology, and provides targeted pre-match encouragement plans.
And this kind of solution is not complicated.
On the contrary, most of them are very simple, and some are even so simple that they only require a few sentences.
But who is Simeone?
He deduced from these targeted plans and could quickly vaguely guess the players' psychological conditions, and then came to the conclusion that these plans were all made by professionals and were quite targeted.
It is not difficult to understand why Southampton players take to the court with a strong spirit in every game.
Neymar, who moved to Barcelona from Saints, has complained more than once that Barcelona did not give him enough help.
But what about Barcelona?
I feel aggrieved and feel that I have done enough.
But if Barcelona could see this plan, they would find that they have done too little.
Of course, it's hard to say whether they will learn from Southampton.
After all, how many professionals and investments are needed to make such a detailed plan?
After Bielsa heard Simeone's question, he shook his head calmly: "Normally there are not so many, because this game is the Champions League final, so it is probably a quarter more than usual."
Simeone, Klopp and Tuchel looked at each other, and they all noticed the wry smile in each other's eyes.
In other words, even for normal games, Southampton's preparations have been quite sufficient.
"Actually, you see paper, because we usually use computers to manage, so on the computer, these things are just a little bit."
Bielsa even made a rare joke.
The other three people couldn't help but smile, but it was true.
The Saints have fully implemented digital management of computer offices throughout the club.
This has been vigorously promoted by Yang Huan in the past four years after acquiring the Saints.
Not only at Saints, but also at Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Inter Milan, Yang Huan is also pushing hard.
It is even foreseeable that Yang Huan will soon vigorously promote this system in other teams he acquires.
In the past, they, like many media and fans, thought that Southampton's advancement was more reflected in hardware and digital management and analysis.

But now, holding this heavy document in their hands, they realized that they error.
As professional head coaches, they clearly know that there are too many shocking things in this.
For example, the simplest meal.
The last meal before the game is very critical, and all professional teams attach great importance to it, but most professional teams do not pay much attention to nutritional distribution, and some teams equipped with nutrition experts will be relatively professional.
They will arrange for players to consume carbohydrates the day before the game, and try to keep the proportion of carbohydrate intake in a reasonable ratio to the players' weight.
Just like Arsenal, the biggest change Wenger brought to the Gunners was a healthy diet, and that's what they did.
It is said that the Gunners players strictly follow a diet of four grams of carbohydrate per kilogram.
But what about Southampton?
It is not just a one-size-fits-all ratio, but based on the physical characteristics of each player and the data accumulated through long-term tracking in the past, a golden ratio that is most reasonable and most suitable for the player is derived.
Not only that, they also arrange their time very seriously.
For example, it takes about two to three hours to digest carbohydrates in the stomach, so they will arrange for players to eat three to four hours before the game.
The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the player's body absorbs as much energy as possible in the last meal before the game, but at the beginning of the game, it is in a fasting state suitable for the player's performance.
But is it just that?
No Southampton will also formulate targeted plans based on each player's physical fitness, technical characteristics, position, game input and consumption, and require players to strictly implement it.
But this is just before the game.
During and after the game, Southampton also has a very detailed diet plan, and all of this relies on the powerful team of nutritionists behind the Saints.
If we talk about diet and psychology, these are aspects that many teams attach great importance to.
Southampton attaches importance to them, which is understandable.
But even sleep, which almost all teams do not attach importance to, the Saints have invested a lot of money in.
Effort and effort.
In the plan in Klopp's hand, on the pages about players' sleep, you can see the signature of a man named Nick Litharles.
People who don't know may not notice who he is, but Klopp knows.
Little Harles, chairman of the British Sleep Association, was a former golf professional and later worked as an executive in a world-renowned bedding company.
He has knowledge in the two fields of exercise science and sleep science.
He has coached countless British athletes, many of whom went on to win medals at the Olympics, and in football is best known for coaching Manchester United's Ryan Giggs on how to sleep.
Good sleep and yoga before bed are seen as reasons for Giggs' longevity in his career.
And all of this comes from the guidance of Little Harles.
Previously, British media reported that Southampton hired a sleep coach to help players fall asleep and even renovated the Staples Wood player room for this purpose.
All of this is the work of Little Harles.
Because he wants to create the best, most comfortable, and most scientific sleeping environment for the players.
The most interesting thing is that he opposed putting water next to the bed because he believed it would leave players with a psychological hint of getting up to drink water, which would affect their sleep.
But in this plan, he even arranged the players' sleep very carefully.
For example, when to eat dinner, whether you can have snacks, when to eat, and what routine activities before bed can help you fall asleep.
The strange thing is that he requires every player to go to the bathroom every fifteen minutes an hour before going to bed, whether they feel the need to pee or not, because this can ensure that they do not hold back their urine.
In addition, his sleep theory is that everyone's sleep cycle is divided into three stages: light sleep, deep sleep and rapid eye movement period.
Each cycle is exactly ninety minutes, so when planning sleep, it is best to use nine minutes.
Ten minutes is the unit.
In other words, you either sleep for five cycles, which is exactly seven and a half hours.
So what will happen if you don’t plan according to the cycle?
According to him, if you sleep for eight or eight and a half hours, you theoretically sleep an extra half or an hour, but in fact, you will be more tired and sleepy.
And he discourages catching up on sleep because it's not helpful at all.
In the Southampton team, Little Halles' role is to help every player sleep well every night.
He will even guide players on how to use their free time to rest and help some players who have difficulty falling asleep find a sleeping method that suits them.
On the surface, sleeping is a very simple thing that everyone knows, but sleeping well, especially for a player who is about to face a major event, how to sleep well is a profound knowledge.
Otherwise, Ferguson would not have bombarded Rome's hotels after losing the Champions League final.

Simeone, Klopp and Tuchel looked through Southampton's plans and had an incredible feeling.
They all know that because they are about to coach Yang Huan's team, Southampton will disclose this plan to them, but even so, they cannot copy the same plan.
Because that's unrealistic Yang Huan spent a total of four years building Southampton's system from scratch, slowly building it bit by bit, and it has penetrated into all aspects of the club and penetrated into every player.
In my heart.
Therefore, such a plan that looks extremely complicated to outsiders, even like a maze, can be carried out in Southampton's hands in an orderly manner, and they can even arrange the time in a very compact and orderly manner.
Because they are already accustomed to all this Moreover, it is completely conceivable that for such a plan, how much money Southampton has to invest in this area every year to maintain the operation of the entire system and maintain the team's research and improvement in related aspects.
It must be at least several million or even tens of millions of pounds.
This amount of money is enough to bring in a capable player.
But Southampton did it Looking at the entire European football world, the Saints are probably the only ones with such luxury.
But Bielsa obviously doesn't think so.
I saw him pointing at the document in the hands of the three people with a slight smile, and said something very inscrutable.
"The future of football is here" The three people opposite were all stunned:
