Chapter 1061: Bet 1

"This game, Southampton is also fighting!"

In the visiting team's bench at the Glory Stadium, Real Madrid's assistant coach David Bertoni said with a wry smile. x-on:乐＠文＠小说＠说|

He and Zidane were close friends when they were young. As early as when Zidane was fledgling and played for Cannes, they were very good friends and comrades-in-arms on the court.

This kind of friendship that we met at the beginning of time is undoubtedly more precious.

So, later, even though Bertoni's career was very mediocre, Zidane rose to fame and became a top superstar in the world, but the friendship between the two of them has always remained very close.

When Zidane accepted Florentino's invitation and returned to Real Madrid, he wanted to find an assistant for himself. The first thing he thought of was David Bertoni, and even though the latter had no coaching certificate at all, he still Still took him to the Bernabeu.

From the youth team to the first team, Bertoni has always been Zidane's most trusted right-hand man.

This is why, although he does not have the name of an assistant coach in Real Madrid, he is fulfilling the reality of an assistant coach.

Zidane nodded slightly after hearing what his friend said, "Ancelotti is very familiar with us."

This is indeed a headache.

As the former coach of Real Madrid, Real Madrid during Ancelotti's period has not changed much from the current Real Madrid. It is that Lewandowski replaced Benzema and left one. Cristiano Ronaldo, big support for Gareth Bale.

But in general, Real Madrid's changes are not obvious.

This brought Zidane a very passive dilemma, that is, his every move seemed to be figured out by the opponent.

He tried to ask for change, but where can the change go?

The superstar lineup that Real Madrid has brought in the past few years is strictly speaking a double-edged sword.

To play to the strengths of superstars such as Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, teams have to develop tactics that can play to their strengths.

But for this kind of impact-type players, the tactical flexibility is too small, and they need space to display their characteristics, which makes Real Madrid's entire tactics lack of change and too monotonous.

And when the team goes from front to back,

When everyone plays around a few superstars in the frontcourt, it severely restricts the players' thinking on the field. The reason is very simple. Pass the ball to the superstars in the frontcourt and the job is done.

What? Free play?

Nimi, isn't that upstage superstars?

Why are there so many supporting actors who performed quite brilliantly, but in the end they missed the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor?

Just because you stole the show!

The same is true in a team, the supporting role is to be able to set off the protagonist, be willing to be a green leaf, but not steal the show.

To put it simply, it is clear that you are more confident in playing this kick yourself, but you have to pass it to me.

why?

Because you are a supporting role!

With such a division of labor, the idea of ​​Real Madrid players playing football will definitely be restricted, and they will not be able to play freely.

As a professional player, with the salary of Real Madrid, the player's idea is very simple. Since your team decides to do this, then I will do my part. I will play as you arrange.

This has led to Real Madrid's players lacking creativity in playing football and the team lacking vitality.

In contrast to Southampton, the team does not have to rely on a certain player. The front three are all superstars, but they also have to invest in counter-attack and defense. Di Maria and Pogba in the midfield, and even Tony Cross can also actively participate in the offense and give full play to his own characteristics and advantages.

Southampton's entire team has three lines, keeping it compact and cooperating in an orderly manner, but at the same time there is no clear division of labor and cooperation. Whoever seizes the opportunity will go up. Such a team and such tactics are too dynamic.

And Ancelotti is too familiar with Real Madrid.

The starting tactics of the Italians in this game are very clear, pressing out as soon as they come up, high-position pressing and pressing, and it is still very targeted, purposeful pressing and pressing.

That is to pinch Modric!

It should be said that, as a midfield star introduced by Real Madrid with a lot of money, Modric is the only player in Real Madrid's midfield who has creativity and the ability to sort out the midfield.

Ancelotti focused on pinching Modric, and the intention was obvious.

I messed up your midfield, no matter how many stars you have in the frontcourt, they are just decorations.

Zidane naturally saw this too, so he frowned.

"Should we adjust it and bring James Rodriguez back?" Bettony asked.

James Rodriguez can play on the front side or in the midfield. If he retreats, he can share Modric's defensive pressure to a certain extent and control the midfield.

"Ancelotti is dying for us to do this." Zidane also has his own concerns.

"Why?" Betoni didn't understand.

Zidane sneered, "When James Rodriguez comes back, our advance route from the midfield to the frontcourt is broken. We can only make long passes to find Lewandowski and Gareth Bale .”

When he said this, Bertoni immediately understood.

With James Rodriguez back, Ancelotti must have a way to restrain himself.

It should even be said that he has already prepared a routine, and it is no problem to pinch Modric and James Rodriguez at the same time, forcing the Real Madrid midfielder to have difficulty playing the ball. Even if he barely sends the ball, how can he get to the frontcourt?

Can only rely on long pass.

But everyone knows that long and wide passes are not very efficient when faced with such a rigorous defensive system.

"This old fox!" Betoni snorted twice, but he was very helpless.

He's a solid supporting player, but doesn't have much in-depth knowledge of football.

Therefore, even if he knew what the problem was, there was nothing he could do. He could only look at Zidane beside him.

The Real Madrid coach frowned and stared at the pitch. Southampton's players fought fiercely and fiercely. They pulled up the rhythm from the beginning, and Real Madrid was simply exhausted.

In this case, Southampton has an overwhelming advantage.

But Real Madrid is not completely without opportunities. The Saints' defense is very high. As long as they can pass the ball out and create opportunities for counterattacks on the wing, with the abilities of Gareth Bale and Lewandowski, Fully capable of creating threats.

Zidane is very clear that this is a gamble.

The bet is right, Real Madrid will score and the game will be easy to play.

If the bet is lost, if the Saints score an advanced goal, then Real Madrid's game may be over.

Real Madrid has always been impatient and easily irritable. Once the away game concedes first, then this game, or even the two rounds of the game, may be over.

But sometimes, the head coach just needs to be such a gambler!

Zidane gritted his teeth, he bet on this hand!

…………

…………

"He will definitely bet!"

Ancelotti sat in the coaching bench of the home team, looked at Zidane in the coaching bench of the visiting team with a slight smile, and said with a smile.

His tone was so firm that it was hard not to believe it.

"Why?" Fatty An asked concernedly.

He didn't understand, he was already beaten by Southampton, the situation is so dangerous, Zidane still won't retreat?

"I know him well, and I know his character. If you gamble at this time, you may not have a chance, but if you don't gamble, then he may not even have a chance."

When Ancelotti said this, he laughed, very much like coach Anxi in the slam dunk.

"There is too much pressure on Zidane, but Real Madrid's overall strength has not met the expectations of the management and fans, so he is very difficult to handle. If he wants to prove himself urgently, he has to show some results. Defeating Southampton is undoubtedly He can establish his status in one battle, so he will definitely bet on it!"

After hearing this, Fatty An couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"Let me tell you, if the overall strength of a football match is the outcome of a football game, then targeted tactics are based on people's hearts. As long as you capture the opponent's mind, you will be invincible!"

When Ancelotti said this, a sternness flashed in his eyes.

This is really rare for Fatty An, who has always been gentle.

Obviously, he wants to prove himself, he wants to prove himself with Real Madrid.

…………

…………

As the game just started, Southampton pressed heavily, and Real Madrid was very passive on the scene.

But at this juncture, as the head coach, Zidane did not make adjustments and changes. Even if he went to the sidelines, he just called on the players to press more and pass the ball forward.

Southampton's high-position pressing gave Real Madrid a crushing advantage. The Galacticos had to enter a defensive state from the very beginning, because they found that the opponent's pressing and oppression were not usually ruthless, but very ruthless.

This kind of ruthlessness of the saints is reflected in the aspect of investment, but also in the aspect of pertinence.

That is the point of pinching Modric.

As long as the Croatian gets the ball, there must be Southampton players around. As long as he hesitates a little, even if the stop is a little too big, or his teammates are waiting to respond, they will be close to him or even steal the ball.

This created huge problems for Modric.

He tried to get rid of it, but as long as the ball was slow, the surrounding Southampton players immediately formed a double-team, making it difficult for him to have a direction and opportunity to play the ball.

Through such a very high-intensity press and oppression, Real Madrid's entire offense fell into a dilemma.

As soon as all players receive the ball, the priority is no longer how to pass forward, but how to ensure that the ball is not lost.

As for passing, it still relies more on long passes.

But how much threat can such a blind long pass create?

The answer is, almost zero!

Conversely, when Southampton was attacking with the ball, both Di Maria and Pogba actively pressed up and pulled to the two wings, creating a numerical advantage for the two sides, and also providing a boost for Messi and Ahmedabad. Zall and Suarez created opportunities to directly face the Real Madrid centre-back.

To put it simply, Di Maria and Pogba are like two baits, luring Casemiro and Modric out of the middle, and then allowing teammates such as Messi, Hazard and Suarez to move to the middle to create threats.

Judging from the process of the game, Southampton's opening tactics worked very well.

Not only has the pace of the game been accelerated from the very beginning, making Real Madrid exhausted, the players' game investment is also quite high, very active, with strong tactical execution, and tacit cooperation, so that Southampton not only occupies an overwhelming position Advantages, but also frequently create threats.

Almost from the very beginning of the game, Real Madrid's entire defense was under tremendous attacking pressure, especially the two central defenders, Ramos and Pepe, who were exhausted.

But even so, Real Madrid's penalty area is still full of dangers, and there is panic in front of the gate.

But head coach Zidane still has not made adjustments.

Maybe he was still betting, or maybe he felt that it was a bit unreasonable to adjust his tactics within a few minutes of the opening.

But in any case, Real Madrid finally showed its flaws!
