Seventy-Five God!

Some people say that football is a war without gunpowder.

Every football game is an offensive and defensive game of wits and courage.

Technology, body, tactics, and will are all indispensable; time, space, individual, team, intelligence, strategy... any one of them may become the key winner or loser of the game.

Throughout the ages, Gao Shen's most respected military strategist is the great leader, and Sidu Chishui is the eternal god.

From many wonderful battles, in a disadvantaged situation, he never confronted the opponent head-on, avoided the opponent's edge at home, studied the opponent's strength and weakness, and waited for the best time to appear.

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: Those who were good fighters in the past were invincible first, and waited for the enemy to be victorious.

In the words of the great leader, save yourself and destroy the enemy.

Gao Shen has been practicing this concept since he coached Real Madrid, and he did the same when facing Barcelona tonight.

When Real Madrid is weaker than Barcelona, ​​it is not wise to choose head-to-head, so he chooses to defend, first try to put himself in an invincible position, and then slowly wait for the opponent to make a mistake.

There are three more sentences after this sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War: Invincibility lies in oneself, victory lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible, but cannot make the enemy certain to be victorious. Therefore, it is said: Victory can be known, but it cannot be done.

That is to say, subjective efforts can only put oneself in a position of not being defeated, but the opponent's ability to be defeated depends on the opponent's own mistakes, not our subjective decision.

To sum it up: victory can be predicted, but not forced.

This is like the battle in Turin three days ago. Both Gao Shen and Capello put themselves in the position of not making mistakes. The final result of the game can only be zero to zero.

There is another game that is also famous, that is the UEFA Champions League final in 2003, Juventus played against AC Milan.

But many times, not all games are like the Battle of Turin, and all coaches are like Capello.

Real Madrid's blindly focusing on defense may not always be able to put themselves in an invincible position, because over time, with physical consumption, and with repeated pressure from opponents, Real Madrid will always have loopholes.

This requires the head coach to constantly check for gaps on the sidelines and the players to work together on the court.

As for Barcelona, ​​tonight is at the Nou Camp, Barcelona's home court, and a draw is unacceptable for Barcelona.

More importantly, before this game, Gao Shen led the team from 10 points behind to only 5 points behind. Even if this game is a draw, this result is still beneficial to Real Madrid.

Therefore, Gao Shen concluded that Rijkaard will not hold on to the end.

He wants to win!

...

From the start of the second half, Barcelona still can only threaten Real Madrid's goal through long-range shots.

First Ronaldinho, then Eto'o, all long-range shots from the outside of the penalty area.

Real Madrid also kicked a counterattack, Beckham sent a long pass, Negredo shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area, but failed to pose a threat.

The situation seemed to be following the trend of the first half, and Barcelona had never been able to break through Real Madrid's defensive formation.

Larson began to lean in the middle, forming a virtual double forward with Eto'o, and the right flank was handed over to Belletti's back. This formed a very threatening attack in the 54th minute. attack.

Larson returned the ball in the penalty area. When Belletti stepped in and shot, Raul, who returned to the defense in time, blocked out of the penalty area.

The Real Madrid captain frequently returned to his own penalty area to defend tonight, and he was very brave.

It seems that this attack also made Rijkaard aware of the opportunity. In the fifty-seventh minute, he began to prepare for substitutions, and the French winger Giuly came out to warm up.

In front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, Gao Shen has been paying attention to Rijkaard's movements. When he saw Jiuli come out, he secretly looked forward to it.

Barcelona is about to make a substitution!

who?

"Larson?" Ma Quida guessed, frowning.

Gao Shen thought so too at first, but he shook his head soon, "Larson's scoring efficiency is very high, and his sense of smell in front of the goal is very good. His effect under this situation is better than Eto'o's." , but Rijkaard will not replace Eto'o."

Replacing Eto'o, isn't this weakening the pressure on Real Madrid's defense, especially the two central defenders?

"He wants to go to Jiuli and cooperate with Belletti on the right." When Gao Shen analyzed this point, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Van Bommel!"

Maqueda, Lucas and others were taken aback.

Among Barcelona's three midfielders, Deco and Iniesta are both technical and good at creativity. Only Van Bommel is both offensive and defensive, and can defend at the same time and do some tiring and dirty work.

Really want to replace Van Bommel?

"He doesn't want us to leave Camp Nou alive!" Gao Shen laughed.

This move is indeed ruthless, but the hidden danger is also great.

The world is like this, risk and reward are always proportional.

Rijkaard wanted to eat Real Madrid in one bite, so he went to Giuly, and then the defense was weakened.

Soon, the answer will be revealed.

In the 60th minute, Barcelona took the lead in making a substitution, replacing Van Bommel with Giuly.

When the fourth official on the sidelines held up the number plate for the substitution, the eyes of Maqueda, Lucas, Buenaventura and others looked at Gao Shen, which were obviously completely different from before.

This can all be guessed!

God!

"My God, how did you guess that?" Lucas was very surprised.

Gao Shen turned his head and laughed at him, "Is this difficult?"

That appearance, pretending too much, made Lucas couldn't help but want to do it, but he was full of admiration in his heart.

"You ask Ronaldo to warm up." Gao Shen urged.

Lucas froze for a moment, then immediately came to his senses and ran to the bench.

...

The movements on Real Madrid's side quickly attracted the coaches of the home team, and even the audience, and even the live TV footage instantly switched to the coaches of the away team.

There is no way, the game on the court is too dull, it is not as good as the movement on the sidelines.

As soon as Ronaldo stepped out of the bench, there was an uproar in the audience, and then the whole Nou Camp was booed harshly.

"We see that Real Madrid is also planning to make a substitution."

"Ronaldo came out of the bench and was going to warm up on the sidelines, it looked like he was going to come off the bench."

"Since the current head coach Gao Shen has coached Real Madrid, Ronaldo has never played, but tonight, he will come off the bench. I don't know if he can improve Real Madrid's offense."

"Hey, we saw that there was movement on the coaching bench of the home team, Rijkaard is also going to make a substitution."

"This is Thiago Motta, who also came out of the bench and is preparing to warm up."

"The two head coaches are facing each other, and the substitutions are also facing each other."

After Gao Shen glanced at the movement on the coaching bench of the home team, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, which was not surprising at all.

Real Madrid scouts say that Barcelona used to pair Thiago Motta with Puyol in training, but it was Oleg with Puyol in the start of the game, which proves that Rijkaard had thought Let Thiago Motta start.

And now it seems that this Brazilian player was specially prepared by Rijkaard for Ronaldo.

In fact, this is also very normal.

Gao Shen uses Ronaldo as a surprise soldier, and Rijkaard must be on guard.

So the key to the question now is, is Ronaldo's surprise weapon useful? Or is Thiago Motta better?

...

Three minutes later, Ronaldo finished warming up, came to the sidelines, and walked to Gao Shen's side.

The two are about the same height, but Ronaldo is obviously fatter and has a bigger and rounder head.

Sometimes Gao Shen thinks that if he is a little thinner, his performance will definitely be better than now.

Of course, Gao Shen has already arranged Ronaldo's weight loss plan for him.

Not to mention how much it can be reduced, but the status must be mentioned.

"I told you before that Oleg turned slowly, which was a loophole, but now it seems that Rijkaard knows it too, so he used Thiago Motta to go up."

After Ronaldo approached, Gao Shen carefully urged in his ear.

"If Giuly didn't replace Van Bommel, I guess Belletti might be played, but not now, so I think it is probably Olegue or Puyol. This is a point we can take advantage of."

After a pause, Gao Shen thought again, "Thiago Motta is a midfielder. In the last game against Benfica, Van Bommel played as a central defender. As a result, he was very uncomfortable playing and often lost his position."

As soon as the deep voice fell, Ronaldo immediately understood, "I tried to pull him out, and then plugged him in."

While speaking, Ronaldo's hand made a gesture of chopping with a knife.

Gao Shen likes to talk to smart people, and he can understand everything.

...

In the 65th minute, Real Madrid made the first substitution of the game, replacing captain Raul with Ronaldo.

Before Raul left the field, he handed the captain's armband to Casillas.

This is also Real Madrid's consistent strategy, with the player who has played the longest in the team as the captain.

During the handover on the sidelines, Raul and Ronaldo both took the initiative to open their arms, hugged each other, and said a few words of affirmation and encouragement to each other.

After Raul left the field, he walked up to Gao Shen, hugged him, and then sat back on the coach's bench.

This time, Gao Shen communicated with Raul before the game, so Raul ran so hard in this game.

In addition, whether it is holding a birthday party for Ramos or replacing Raul with Ronaldo, Gao Shen has another intention, which is to break the gap between Ronaldo and the local players.

In this regard, Ronaldo did a good job, cooperating with Gao Shen's movements, and the local players also gave Gao Shen a face. Even Ramos accepted Ronaldo's blessings and gifts at the birthday party.

Now, it depends on whether Ronaldo can complete the task Gao Shen gave him.

After Ronaldo played, Real Madrid's formation also changed.

Once again, Beckham was pulled back by Gao Shen to kick the midfielder, forming a three midfielder, Zidane rushed forward, Ronaldo and Negredo formed a double forward in front.

As a result, Real Madrid's formation became four three one two.

After Giuly came on the field, Barcelona faintly changed into a strong attacking tactic of two forwards and two forwards, while Real Madrid used substitutions to take the opportunity to further strengthen their defense, posing a posture of defending to the end, but at the same time exposed Ronaldo in front. This sharp knife.

The next step is to see if Ronaldo can break through Barcelona's defense.
