1156 Real Madrid's 7 Inches

Due to the World Cup, major European leagues are compressing their schedules one after another.

The Bundesliga is no exception.

The German Cup semi-final was scheduled to be held at 7:30 pm on April 16, exactly one hour earlier than the Copa del Rey final.

Bayern had already taken a first-half lead with a 2-0 win over Kaiserslautern at the Allianz Arena in Munich when Real Madrid and Barcelona kicked off at Valencia's Mestagna.

Then in the second half, with goals from Thomas Muller, Mandzukic and Gotze, Bayern defeated Kaiserslautern 5-1 and reached the German Cup final. Their opponent was Dortmund coached by Klopp.

The Hornets beat Wolfsburg 2-0 at home the night before.

As soon as the game at the Allianz Arena ended, Guardiola and his assistants left with Bayern players and arrived at the training base on Sebena Avenue, the Copa del Rey final in Valencia, Spain, was also over.

Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-0 thanks to two goals from Benzema and Ronaldo.

After Guardiola disbanded the team, he stayed with the core coaching staff of the first team to watch the recording and broadcast of the game together, and at the same time began to analyze and study Real Madrid's formation in this game.

Because a week later, Bayern will be a guest at the Bernabéu Stadium to challenge Real Madrid away.

This is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Whether it is against Bayern or against Guardiola, it is a focus battle worthy of attention.

The top priority before Bayern is how to break through Real Madrid's defense.

In almost all away games in the Champions League knockout rounds, offense comes first. Grabbing an away goal is the most important task in an away game, and it will also be the biggest advantage.

...

"Real Madrid is indeed the strongest team in world football today, there is no doubt about it."

After watching the Copa del Rey final, assistant coach Domenech Torrent made a positioning of Real Madrid's strength.

"If we simply infer from the results after the game, we can conclude that Barcelona has not done well in many areas, but judging from the formation before the game, Martino has actually tried his best."

"The current Barcelona, ​​in terms of strength, is much behind Real Madrid."

Torrent's conclusion is very cruel. Most of the people present are Guardiola's assistants in Barcelona, ​​and they all have deep feelings for Barcelona. Hearing this kind of words, it is inevitable that I feel very uncomfortable.

But if you think about it carefully, it is true.

In two seasons and more than a dozen games, Real Madrid maintained a record of victory against Barcelona.

Everything is possible on the football field. It is said that football is round and anything can happen, but Real Madrid beat Barcelona in more than a dozen games in a row. What is there to say?

It can only be said that Real Madrid is really stronger than Barcelona.

Strictly speaking, Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona because of its depth.

"I agree with Domenech's judgment that Real Madrid is indeed very strong, even the strongest in Europe at the moment, but Real Madrid's strength is not in offense.

Whether it is defense, or passing and possession, or other aspects, they are strong in comprehensiveness. "

Analyst Carles Planchart followed up with an analysis.

"We can see that in this final, Real Madrid arranged two or three sets of different tactics in just 90 minutes, but the players adapted very well, the switching was smooth, and the tactical execution was very good. This is the core competitiveness of this Real Madrid team at the moment."

"Toni Kroos, Modric and Harvey Alonso, these three midfielders are the core of Real Madrid's entire tactical system. In contrast, Pogba, Verratti, Isco, Illara People like Mendy and Casemiro are still young."

Immature means immature, but also potential.

"Whether it was in Manchester United or later in Real Madrid, who of us can see that Ronaldo actively retreats to defend, and even sacrifices himself to create opportunities for his teammates?"

Planchart's question silenced everyone present.

From his debut to the present, what is the most criticized part of Ronaldo?

Selfish, independent, arrogant, and fancy and sticky balls in the early days...

He has many advantages, but no one has ever praised his sense of collective honor.

He is the kind of star who needs the whole team to play around him.

But such a player, under the command of Gao Shen, cannot be said to have transformed into a team type, but at least he played with a sense of team honor. From his active defense many times this season, from his many games Responsible for creating opportunities for his teammates, even sacrificing his own opportunities to open up defense for his teammates, you can see his transformation.

This is by no means an active change by Ronaldo himself, but a "pressure" from a high level.

Sometimes, professional players are like this. With the right people, the changes will be very, very big.

...

Assistants, you express your opinions one by one, talk about your views on Real Madrid, and the more you talk, the more in-depth.

Guardiola mentioned a very interesting place, and that is Leeds United.

Under the coaching of Sarri, Leeds United became famous in the Premier League, relying on a set of very profound tactical play, that is, the two full-backs played very actively, even almost using the full-backs as full-backs, or even wingers to use.

This also attracted the attention of many professionals at the beginning, after all, Sarri was born in Gao Shen's direct line.

But in the last two seasons, after Kurzawa and Klein and other outstanding full-backs left the team, Leeds United's full-backs have undergone some changes. Trippier is more known for his passing and defense, but there are still wing attackers like Cancelo.

It can be seen from the tactical framework of Leeds United that this team still retains very strong and profound characteristics.

"In December last year, Pochettino took his family to live in Madrid after leaving the Spaniard, became neighbors with Gao Shen and Zidane, and followed Gao Shen to Real Madrid to host training every day. I have seen him many times. "

Guardiola was at home at the time, had been to Madrid, and watched Real Madrid's games and training, so he was quite familiar with Pochettino, and knew Gao Shen's importance to Pochettino.

"Many of us feel that some of Gao Shen's ideas after coaching Real Madrid have actually been tried on Leeds United, such as the attack on the two wings, such as the staffing of the midfielder, and the goalkeeper. They are directly poached from Leeds United. came."

Speaking of the goalkeeper, it is now Bayern Munich's biggest shortcoming.

After failing to poach Neuer, Guardiola has made it clear that he asked Bayern to buy Borussia Mönchengladbach's German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, but during the winter break, Bayern failed to negotiate with Borussia Mönchengladbach , resulting in a variable in the transfer.

Now, Arsenal, Barcelona and Paris have also joined the battle for Ter Stegen, and the drums are roaring in the transfer market.

The value of the Little Lion King has also soared from 8 million euros at the beginning of the season to 12 million euros during the winter break, and now, with the intervention of Arsenal, Barcelona and Paris, Ter Stegen's The transfer fee is almost approaching 20 million euros.

Bayern is now stepping up their efforts and wants to sign Ter Stegen before the World Cup, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

But right now, these are not Guardiola's top priorities.

I saw Guardiola holding the remote control, constantly adjusting the time, and quickly adjusted to the time when Neymar squeezed Carvajal away with his body, and Barcelona almost scored a goal.

"At the Bernabeu, our task is to score goals. We must first score an away goal so that we can establish an advantage. Di Maria and Carvajal's combination on the right is especially good in defense. When defending one-on-one, it's not a small problem."

The picture freezes, and everyone can clearly see that Carvajal is squeezed out of position by Neymar, which in itself is a big problem for defensive players.

Carvajal is a player who has risen very quickly and has a very strong offensive power. He is indeed a very good full-back, but his defense is indeed relatively weak.

Strong offense and weak defense are the characteristics of Real Madrid's two full-backs.

But in comparison, Marcelo's defense is actually pretty good, and Carvajal is a bit immature.

It also depends on the age and experience of the players.

As for the defender, which one was not abused?

"We should use Ribery to attack their side." Guardiola said with certainty.

Franck Ribery on the left and Thomas Muller on the right, this is Bayern's regular lineup.

"Where's the midfielder?" Torrent asked with concern.

Against Real Madrid, midfield is the key.

How to arrange it is a big problem.

The first is Schweinsteiger. He is not the kind of four player that Guardiola relies on. To some extent, his ball and ball stability are not as good as Ram or Alaba.

Therefore, Guardiola mentioned more than once that Toni Kroos was sold to Real Madrid is the most regrettable.

Guardiola often uses the combination of Schweinsteiger and Garam, but in this way, the defense of the midfield will be a problem, and the defense on the right will also be a problem.

There is another way, which is to use Schweinsteiger and Hedila's double midfielder, plus Vidal in front, the hardness of this midfielder is enough, but the ability to pass and control the ball is insufficient.

This is why many people believe that Guardiola is not acclimatized.

He can't play four-three-three in Barcelona, ​​he can only play double midfielder, which is the result of the limitation of the team lineup.

Acclimatization also comes from this.

Originally, Thiago was not injured, and Bayern could occasionally play some passes and possessions that satisfied Guardiola, but now there is no way.

"Let me think about it again, you guys prepare first." Guardiola said with a frown.

He has no good way to restrain the sophisticated Real Madrid.

He knows better than anyone else that Gao Shen and he know each other well, he knows what Gao Shen is thinking, and Gao Shen also knows what he is thinking, and the two will often attack each other's seven inches.

But judging from the current situation, Gao Shen's Real Madrid is a team that he has trained for two years, and the lineup is completely formed according to Gao Shen's requirements, especially the midfielder, which is more important than Guardiola's Bayern. Mature, more handy.

But the semi-finals of the Champions League is already imperative, and Guardiola has no choice, and he has to play against the scalp.

He suddenly remembered Martino's trick.

Maybe it should be a surprise!
