Chapter 216 Returning to Basics
Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid's home game against Atlético de Madrid kicked off.
The players on both sides were already standing on the field.
As the referee blew his whistle, and the fans cheered, the game officially started.
The game commentators of various channels began to analyze the starting lineups of the two teams. For Real Madrid, the most concerned is the appearance of Kaka. After joining Real Madrid in 2009, Kaka has been affected by injuries, and his state is not good after his comeback. Great, every time I play, my performance is unsatisfactory, but it can be seen that in Real Madrid's lineup, Kaka is in the middle of the midfield and should be used by Mourinho as the core, while C-Ronaldo appears in For the striker, he and Benzema debuted at the same time, forming a striker duo.
"Mourinho probably wanted to rely on Ronaldo's personal ability to attack Atletico's defense. Kaka's debut, which further liberated Ronaldo."
Spanish national sports commentator Fernandos Sanchez Bob analyzed, "Real Madrid's 442 is more focused on defense, Benzema and Ronaldo, two strikers, their personal ability is very strong, in the game with Atletico Madrid At times, you must pay attention to defense. If you want to score goals on the offensive end, you have to rely more on the individual ability of the players. Real Madrid has this confidence, Ronaldo and Benzema are quite outstanding, they can completely rely on their personal ability to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal..."
Atlético de Madrid's starting lineup, the focus is on the midfielder - Maurice did not start.
Before the game, the focus of many media's analysis of the game was whether Morris could appear. The significance of Morris to Atlético de Madrid need not be talked about. Whether he can play or not is directly related to Atlético de Madrid's performance.
Morris was injured in the England national team game before. For this reason, Wansheng also scolded Capello, believing that the latter does not care about player injuries and does not cherish players' bodies, but no matter what, Morris is injured. In fact, Morris has not played in the past two games.
When talking about Morris before the game, Wansheng said, "Whether Li can play or not depends on his recovery."
Some Real Madrid support media reminded, "This is likely to be a smoke bomb for Atletico Madrid, that young Chinese is good at doing this, Real Madrid must be vigilant!"
Looking at it now, what Wan Sheng said was true.
Morris appeared in the roster, but did not start, obviously the recovery situation is not so optimistic.
In fact it is.
Morris has been able to participate in normal training, but has not fully recovered. Considering his physical condition, Wansheng did not let him start. Participating in such an intense game is likely to make him 'injured'.
Morris did not play, and he was replaced by J-Rodriguez.
J-Rodriguez is in the 433 formation, the core position of the team, but the media doubts whether he can replace Morris. After all, J-Rodriguez is still difficult to compare with Morris. There are still some gaps in ability and performance.
In this regard, Wan Sheng is not worried.
Since joining Atletico Madrid in the summer, J-Rodriguez has been improving. His personal ability is very comprehensive, and the speed of improvement has been very fast recently. Now there is definitely a gap between him and Maurice, but the gap is not that obvious. , In addition, J-Rodriguez also has his own characteristics. His offensive attribute ability is stronger than Morris. In other words, the offensive end he guides may be more targeted and will be better. The more active, the greater the threat.
Among several new players, J-Rodriguez is also the fastest to integrate into the team. In addition to the factor of his own hard work, the "tactical expertise" is also the key to improve four times faster than others. From the summer preparations to now, Wansheng has used most of the effect of this skill on J-Rodriguez, hoping that he can improve quickly.
In this case, J-Rodriguez has actually integrated into the stadium and can completely replace Morris, but due to his youth, due to experience, and due to differences in personal ability and tacit understanding with his teammates, J-Rodriguez Gus won't be as consistent as Morris.
In key games, this is likely to be the cause of failure.
The Madrid derby with Real Madrid was the most crucial game. In order to eliminate the possibility of 'J-Rodriguez's unstable performance', Wansheng enabled J-Rodriguez's 'training specialization talent', The effect of "forcing him to reach the peak of his career in the next 12 hours" will definitely give J-Rodriguez a very good state.
Coupled with the "national event honor halo" that improves J-Rodriguez's passing ability by 10%, the Colombian's performance can definitely be expected.
Perhaps, after this game, many media should say, "Rodriguez can completely replace Morris and become the core of Atletico Madrid's new generation?"
Wansheng thought.
Atletico Madrid's lineup, the second most concerned position is the striker. In the 433 formation, there is only one striker in the middle of the frontcourt. Usually, it will be Diego Costa or Falcao, but Klose starts this game. appeared.
Klose is a veteran. Although his form can still be maintained, he is nothing compared to Diego Costa and Falcao.
Diego Costa and Falcao are both young, and their technical strength is quite strong. In terms of experience, Klose has some advantages, but the gap in physical fitness is enough to resolve other advantages.
For Klose to start the game, and he is still at the forefront of the Atletico Madrid lineup, some media can't understand it. No matter how you think about it, it is difficult to come up with Klose's starting reason.
But Wansheng won't explain everything to people.
————
From the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.
Atlético de Madrid used agile movement and subtle coordination to counter Real Madrid's rock-solid defense.
If you use the above sentence to describe the game, many fans will not understand. This is the Bernabeu Stadium, the site of Real Madrid. Does Real Madrid still use the goal?
Of course... with!
Although Real Madrid is the team with the most goals in the past league, Mourinho has not been dazzled by the goals. Real Madrid's offensive ability is good, but it is definitely not a good choice to play against Atletico Madrid. The offensive tactics of both sides are not at the same level in themselves.
Real Madrid's best option is to play on the counter-attack.
This is the tone Mourinho has long set.
Real Madrid is to play defensive counterattacks, and steady defense is the key, whether it is home or away, no matter what the environment is, Real Madrid must do this if it wants to win.
In the league, Atletico Madrid's goals are not as many as Real Madrid, but Atletico Madrid's offense is very targeted, and the coordination is very subtle. If Real Madrid really competes for midfield control, and really goes against Atletico Madrid, Relying on the control of football, already better than Real Madrid in movement and coordination, Atletico Madrid will soon be able to gain the advantage on the scene, and it is possible to score goals quickly.
So after the start of the game, Real Madrid played very steadily, and they seemed to be calm in the face of Atletico Madrid's gorgeous offensive.
Most Real Madrid play conservatively.
This relies on a solid defense line. The combination of the four backs is not the key. The key lies in the cooperation between the midfield and the back line. Kaka and Xavi Alonso in the middle frequently drop back. They and the two central defenders Pepe and Ka Vallo formed a 'top four in the penalty area', making Real Madrid's front end of the penalty area rock solid.
It is very difficult for Atletico Madrid to attack from the middle.
Real Madrid's blockade of the two flanks is also very tight. The two full-backs Khedira and Di Maria are almost turning into 'full-backs'. As long as Atletico Madrid attacks, they stay in their own half and even retreat. To the full-back position, constantly involved in the defense.
This defense is a headache.
Real Madrid's style of play makes the game look ugly, but Mourinho doesn't care whether the game is good or not. What he wants is victory. He believes that this set of football can guarantee victory.
There is nothing wrong with being conservative. In the case of insufficient strength, Wansheng will also become very conservative. In a sense, Wansheng and Mourinho are the same coach. They both respect 'victory football', as long as they can. Victory, any kind of football can be, as long as the victory is guaranteed, the game will look better.
Judging from the game on the field, it is difficult to imagine that Real Madrid is the team with the most goals in the league.
Now they do.
Wan Sheng watched the game and shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't care too much. He was already prepared for Mourinho's choice to play like this.
Wansheng knows Mourinho too well, and both sides know their opponents very well. Because of this, both sides have a judgment on the game.
Real Madrid will definitely choose the counter-attack, and the defense will be very tight.
This is Wansheng's judgment.
Atletico Madrid must strive for quick goals. In the game at the Bernabeu, they must do so if they want to win, otherwise it will be very unfavorable for Atletico Madrid to let Real Madrid defend the goal and delay the time until the second half.
This is Mourinho's judgment.
Wansheng's preparation for this is... Klose!
Why Klose can start the game? Because his header ability is very good! Why didn't Falcao start? Because he doesn't have Klose's header ability!
Simple answer!
Wansheng hopes that the team will score in halftime and gain an advantage in the score first, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the team if it is delayed to the second half. Real Madrid will definitely choose to defend, especially in the first half, they must do so.
With Real Madrid's defensive ability, where is the goal easy to break?
Not to mention breaking the goal, it is not easy to even pass the ball to the penalty area. Real Madrid's defense is not so easy to break through. At this time, all kinds of delicate coordination become useless like chicken ribs, and direct play becomes particularly critical.
Wan Sheng had already told the players, "If you really can't get in, just pass the ball directly to the middle and let the front court go for the top!" The meaning is very simple, that is, a high-hanging cross, relying on players in the penalty area to grab a header to find opportunities .
So after 20 minutes of the game, an inexplicable picture appeared: Atletico Madrid organized the attack, constantly using high-hanging crosses, almost looking for opportunities 'like luck', while Real Madrid defended The way the goal looks, a large group of players are piled up near the penalty area, and there are no rules for their positions.
It's not like a game between the world's top teams, even a small game in a third-tier league, is more technical than this!
Spanish fans watching the game can hardly describe the feeling of watching the game, and the invited guest Huang Jianxiang said more precisely in the online live broadcast of "Xinlang Sports", "If you use martial arts, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both masters in the novel. , an absolute top expert!"
"This kind of master's martial arts can no longer be described simply. They can fight brilliantly, and they can fight so hard that people can't understand it."
"Now what they are showing is a realm-returning to the original!"
"When masters practice to a certain level, they will enter a state of returning to the basics. No matter how simple martial arts are, they can exert great power in their hands, but it seems that they are definitely not comparable to those eye-catching unique skills, so Everyone can't understand it, but if Real Madrid were replaced by an ordinary team, the goal would have been smashed by Atletico Madrid's simple play more than once!"
