1160 Best in Europe

The 34th round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid sits at home, with Miranda's goal and Diego Costa's penalty in stoppage time, they finally defeated Elche 2-0.

Barcelona faced Athletic Bilbao at the Nou Camp, but they couldn't attack for a long time. In the 50th minute, the Basque Lions scored a goal first, and then within three minutes, Pedro and Messi scored twice. The ball completed the reversal.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-1.

Real Madrid challenge Valladolid away.

Gao Shen played with a full bench lineup and young players, and finally beat Valladolid 2-1 in the away game.

Real Madrid scored two goals first, but Valladolid's crazy counterattack at the end of the game almost broke Real Madrid.

Casillas started this game and performed very well.

After playing this round, there are only 4 rounds left in La Liga, and the situation has basically been determined.

Real Madrid is currently leading the way and has already won the championship ahead of schedule, while Atletico Madrid is 4 points ahead of Barcelona and basically locked in second place in the league. Barcelona is currently ranked third in the league.

Interestingly, Athletic Bilbao, which ranks fourth in the league, is more than 20 points behind Barcelona.

It can be said that starting from this season, the pattern of the two heroes in the Western Super League has been officially broken, and Atletico Madrid has entered the ranks of competing with the two heroes, but no one realizes this now.

Simeone's legendary coaching at Atletico Madrid has only just begun.

...

After the league and the Copa del Rey were settled, Real Madrid and Atletico began to focus on the Champions League.

At this time, the media suddenly hyped a sentence that Gao Shen had said before. He believed that Atletico Madrid had the level of the semi-finals of the Champions League. At that time, everyone felt that Gao Shen had exaggerated Simeone's team too much.

But now, Atletico Madrid has really reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

When the media broke the news, fans all over the world were shocked, and at the same time they were in admiration for the profound vision.

You know, Gao Shen didn't say it later, but at the beginning of the season, when he had already judged the overall level of Atletico Madrid.

The last time Atletico Madrid reached the semi-finals of the Champions League was 40 years ago.

When Simeone was interviewed by a media reporter, he was asked about these profound words. The handsome Argentine said with a smile: "I'm considering asking him out for a meal, thank him, because these words inspired us!"

The Argentine said that Atletico Madrid reached the semi-finals by virtue of their own strength, and he believes that Atletico Madrid has the strength to defeat Ancelotti's Paris Saint-Germain, enter the Champions League final, and even win the Champions League.

"I think our biggest opponent will be Real Madrid."

"If Bayern can upset Real Madrid in the semi-finals, we will be very grateful to Guardiola!"

The implication is actually very obvious. Simeone is more confident to win when facing Bayern Munich, but facing the sophisticated Real Madrid, he is not sure of winning.

After the 34th round of La Liga, Catalan TV broke the news,

Barcelona has agreed to Messi's contract renewal request, and the two parties have reached an agreement that Messi's annual salary will rise to 20 million euros.

But at the same time, the World Sports Daily also revealed that because Barcelona frequently poached Paris Saint-Germain players such as Thiago Silva, Paris couldn't bear it, and finally prepared to attack Messi.

250 million euros, this is the offer made by Paris to Messi, and Messi's contract will be bought out.

"But first of all it has to be approved by Messi."

On the one hand, it was rumored that they agreed to renew the contract, and on the other hand, it was reported that Paris was poaching corners. The whole situation was confusing and confusing.

But on the other hand, in Germany, the situation is quite obvious.

With the hot transfer market, the thirst for good goalkeepers is becoming more and more urgent, especially after Atletico Madrid signed Benfica's talented goalkeeper Oblak at a high price of 20 million euros, which intensified this demand.

Bayern Munich finally couldn't help but make a quick move, and signed the German goalkeeper Ter Stegen from Borussia Mönchengladbach at a super high premium of 30 million euros.

This once again triggered a strong earthquake in European football.

Just when Bayern signed Ter Stegen at a high price, the British media Sun broke the news that Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, ​​who were originally interested in Ter Stegen, have adjusted their goals and locked the Costa Rican goalkeeper of Leeds United. Kylo Navas.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper, who is in his prime, is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season. He currently leads many goalkeepers in the Premier League with 16 clean sheets and is the number one favorite for the Premier League Golden Glove Award this season.

At present, whether it is Manchester City's Neuer, Arsenal's Szczesny, or Chelsea's Cech, they are all slightly inferior to Navas in the number of zero seals.

More importantly, the Costa Rican goalkeeper is currently the goalkeeper who has completed the most saves in the Premier League, with a success rate of 81%, far ahead of other goalkeepers.

The Sun believes that after Courtois moved to Real Madrid, Navas quickly became Leeds United's most trusted goalkeeper, and this season he has become the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.

More importantly, at the age of 27, he is beginning to usher in the peak of his career.

The Sun believes that Navas' biggest weakness is that he is only 1.85 meters tall, "but this does not affect him to become one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and even in Europe!"

The British media, which is famous for its transfer information, broke the news that the current transfer value of Navas is 15 million pounds, but Paris Saint-Germain is considering an offer of up to 25 million euros for Navas, which is obviously determined to win.

According to the analysis of The Sun, if you can get the best goalkeeper in the Premier League for 25 million euros, it will undoubtedly be quite a bargain.

As soon as The Sun broke the news, in the German transfer market, Keylor Navas' value quietly increased by 1 million pounds, which became an anecdote again, and was quickly reported and paid attention to by more media.

Keylor Navas, the goalkeeper from Leeds United has just entered the mainstream view of European football.

Some people even began to think that this late blooming goalkeeper from a weak football country is another short top goalkeeper in European football after Iker Casillas.

...

After playing Valladolid, Real Madrid transferred the team's preparations to the Champions League.

This kind of preparation is not only through the drills in daily training, but also the targeted strategy against Bayern that Gao Shen instilled in the players.

For example, Gao Shen told the players at the tactical meeting that against Guardiola's team, don't even think about grabbing the ball with the opponent.

why?

Because possession is Guardiola's life.

With Real Madrid's technical prowess, if they compete with Bayern for possession of the ball, they may not necessarily lose, but they may not gain any benefits, and their playing is not smart at all.

Real Madrid is best at frontal impact.

So Gao Shen's positioning for this game is that Real Madrid give up possession of the ball and don't compete with Bayern for possession of the ball.

"Even, I don't want you to force the opponent's defense too much. This is a very uneconomical deal."

The strategy given by Gao Shen is that when switching from offense to defense, Real Madrid will definitely have to counterattack on the spot, but the purpose is not to grab the ball, but to slow down the counterattack speed of the opponent so that they cannot play a fast break.

Today's Bayern is very different from Gao Shen's Bayern in his previous life, and that is Robben.

Without Robben, Bayern's counterattacks lack speed.

Now Bayern’s main counterattack route is the left. The side of Alaba and Ribery is the side where they can play fast. On the right, Thomas Muller is more empty-running and relies more on full-backs plug in.

"Before this game, I will appropriately send out more signals of weakness. I hope to give the opponent more confidence and induce them to take the initiative to press. In this way, we can play more threateningly."

In terms of defense, Gao Shen hopes that Di Maria can actively withdraw, but Ronaldo and Benzema should not withdraw.

In this way, Real Madrid will form three lines of defense similar to 442.

This is recognized as the most resilient defensive position.

"After the defense is set up, Bayern likes to control the ball, so let them control it. We must play more patiently. At our home court, as long as we don't concede the ball, we win!"

Gao Shen's words sound a little conservative, but they are actually drawing a psychological bottom line for the players.

Without conceding a goal, the worst result is zero to zero.

When it comes to the away game, Real Madrid can play out.

With Real Madrid's offensive power, it is definitely the biggest test for Bayern Munich.

Gao Shen believes that Guardiola will definitely realize this.

Just ask, how would a normal person choose in this situation?

"Believe me, Guardiola has never been a conservative person. He doesn't like to give the initiative to the opponent, so he will actively grab the ball and strive for the first goal. We have to show weakness and let them Press it out!"

First grab an away goal, Real Madrid will not be able to defend with peace of mind, and then Bayern Munich will have a chance to score a second or even a third goal.

But if the goal is scored in the away game, after returning to the home court, Gao Shen is good at attacking and Real Madrid players have strong attacking firepower. By then, can Bayern ensure that they can defend?

Guardiola will definitely weigh the pros and cons, fully taking this possibility into consideration.

"When switching from defense to offense, the two midfielders, Toni and Luca, you have to actively push forward and disrupt Bayern's midfield for me. At the same time, our two wings must be actively behind the full-backs."

"As long as Bayern presses forward to attack, then their two full-backs will definitely press up, and there is a gap behind them, so we have to play fast, or let Benzema take the first spot."

Gao Shen's style of play is actually not new, that is, his tactics when he played against Barcelona were only adjusted according to the characteristics of Bayern's players, but in essence it is still the same style of play.

On the defensive end, Gao Shen emphasized one point, that is, when Ribery takes the ball, Modric must be able to retreat in time to protect the team's ribs and cut off Ribery's inside cut.

Di Maria must pay attention to keeping up with Alaba, because the latter's back penetration is very threatening.

On the offensive end, Gao Shen's strategy is very clear, playing behind.

Gao Shen is very confident, because this tactical play is useful for Barcelona, ​​which has been proven in many games.

Guardiola's Bayern is now inferior to Barcelona in terms of passing and possession ability, or the ability of players to break the game.

Not even as good as Real Madrid.
