Eighty-Seven Surnamed Gao, Do You Still Want Face?

Text 87 Gao, do you still want face? [Kneeling for the first order]

Some media once made a statistics on the scores of the five major European leagues and came to an interesting conclusion.

In the five major leagues in the past few years, the most common score is one to zero.

In other words, only one goal is scored in a football match.

The proportion is almost 25% or more.

The second most common score is one to one, and this ratio is about 15%.

Next is two to one, and the ratio is almost fifteen percent.

After that, there are two to zero and zero to zero, ranking fourth and fifth respectively, with a ratio of about 8% to 10%.

When I first saw this data, I believe everyone will be very surprised, because it deviates too much from my own impression.

But that's what it is.

There will be a selective memory in the fans' impression, and they will naturally be more impressed with some games with large scores.

Fernando Lucas once specially sorted out a piece of data, one of which is of great interest to Gao Shen, that is, in the memory of many fans, Real Madrid played the best offensive football in the 2002-2003 season. Eighty-six goals were scored in thirty-eight league rounds, and forty-two goals were conceded.

Leaving aside the defensive data, let's talk about the number of goals.

In 38 games, Real Madrid did not score in six games, and only scored one goal in nine games.

Two goals were scored in six games, three goals were scored in seven games, four goals were scored in six games, and five goals were scored in four games.

Among them, there were 10 games with zero opponents, and only 2 of these 10 games scored three goals or more.

Seventeen games scored more than three goals. Except for these two games, there were 15 games where goals were conceded, and many of them conceded two goals or even conceded three goals.

Note that this is recognized by everyone in the world, Real Madrid's peak season in recent years, the season from 2002 to 2003 with the most superstars and the best state.

Fernando Lucas sorted out this data. In fact, the intention is very simple. He just wants to comfort Gao Shen, so that he doesn't have to worry too much about the outside world. The one-to-zero doctrine is actually a normal phenomenon of normal teams.

Combining the questionnaire survey of the media and the data of Fernando Lucas, we can actually give a very intuitive outline, that is, on the football field, scoring goals is actually very, very difficult.

Even to some extent, scoring a goal means victory!

This situation will only become more obvious in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, where there is a strong dialogue and the highest technical and tactical level.

Why didn't Gao Shen dare to attack when he was a guest in Turin in the first round?

Aren't away goals good?

No, it is very fragrant, very fragrant.

But he didn't dare, and couldn't.

If you don't score an away goal, but are scored by Juventus, in Real Madrid's current situation, this is basically the fate of being eliminated.

Conservative?

A bit conservative indeed.

But when the team has no way to guarantee both defense and offense, Gao Shen can only choose defense.

If the conservative hat can help Real Madrid win the championship, then Gao Shen doesn't mind wearing it.

Back at the Bernabeu, when Gao Shen arranged the premise of tactics, the first thing to consider was not to allow Juventus to score.

Juventus score one goal, Real Madrid must score two goals.

So Gao Shen looked aggressive at the beginning, but in fact he was still seeking stability, and then grabbed Juventus' dead spot and scored a goal.

and then?

Gao Shen began to signal that the team continued to defend.

Juventus is also very interesting. After losing the ball, they tried to counterattack for a while, but they were quickly pressed back by Capello.

The reason is also very simple, Capello did not dare to take risks easily.

He is afraid that Real Madrid will further expand the score.

After Real Madrid's goal, Juventus only needs to score one goal to tie the total score, and then reverse with an away goal, but if Juventus' offense causes the defense to miss,

If Real Madrid seized the opportunity and scored a sneak attack, they would be even more desperate.

Therefore, in the last 20 minutes of the first half, the game scene was still deadlocked.

Juventus have not shown any aggressive ambitions.

"Well done everyone!"

As soon as he walked into the locker room, Gao Shen applauded his players vigorously.

Everyone looked quite excited, but they were also panting like a cow.

Although the game may seem dull, it is very intense and consumes a lot of players.

Gao Shen's eyes swept over the eleven players in the locker room, and he kept nodding, giving him admiring eyes without hesitation, which was the reward they deserved.

"Guys, I can't guess what kind of tactics Juventus will adopt in the second half. Will Capello attack after the opening? Or adjust his strength through substitutions? But what I can be sure of is that the situation in the second half will be better than that of Juventus. The first half was more difficult."

"How strong Juventus is, everyone feels it, but I am here and I can tell you with pride that tonight, at the Bernabeu, you will eliminate this strong team and you will prove it with a victory. They are stronger and better!"

When every player heard this, they raised their heads in unison and stared at Gao Shen.

They were still out of breath and tired, but they were full of fighting spirit.

Eliminate Juventus and they will reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"Next, every minute of the second half is a very difficult test for us. Whether it is an individual or a team, whether it is technology, tactics, body or willpower, it is the most difficult challenge. I believe that you have all done it. If you are mentally prepared, you will definitely be able to withstand this test."

Gao Shen's eyes were extremely determined and confident. He clenched his fists hard and "stared" at the players viciously.

"Believe me, everyone, as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, we will definitely be able to advance!"

Without this goal in the first half, many players might still have doubts and even lack confidence.

But now, Gao Shen said that Real Madrid will definitely be able to score when they return to the Bernabeu. In the end, they really scored.

Now, Gao Shen said that if you persevere, you will win, and they all believe it!

...

Leaving aside the players' personal abilities, characteristics and team lineup, Juventus' biggest problem lies in their tactics.

Four forty two parallel stance.

Why did Nedved have to go from the left midfielder to the midfielder?

Because there is no one in the middle.

From the perspective of court space, the four lines of 4231 use space more efficiently than the parallel positions of 442, which has been confirmed by Valencia and Benitez.

Benitez took a step further from Ranieri and Cooper's 442 formation and came up with a 423 formation, which helped Valencia win the La Liga championship and helped Liverpool create the great Istanbul miracle.

After two rounds of competition, Gao Shen has enough confidence in Real Madrid's tactics.

But he didn't dare to be careless, because on the court, accidents are everywhere.

Therefore, during the intermission, what he emphasized the most was the player's mistakes, and he should try to avoid mistakes.

Especially the kind of involuntary mistakes that consume a lot of physical energy.

...

"After the start of the second half, we must pay close attention to the physical performance of the players."

After sending the players away, Gao Shen called Lucas and Buenaventura over and urged them.

Lucas can get the latest real-time data of the game, including the running distance of the players, etc., while Buenaventura needs to analyze the current physical condition of the players based on these data, and provide suggestions for advanced substitutions and decision-making .

Both know that this is crucial to the flow of the game.

"Why not Ronaldo?" Lucas asked curiously.

Ronaldo is on the squad tonight and will definitely come off the bench, but why doesn't Gao Shen let him play?

Gao Shen looked at his friend, smiled, and asked, "Why do you think the sword of Damocles is so deterrent?"

Lucas showed a thoughtful expression, while Buenaventura nodded with some clarity.

"Because you don't know when it will fall." Gao Shen offered the answer.

The whole world knows that Ronaldo will definitely play, and he is Gao Shen's most important defensive counterattack weapon.

But Gao Shen just hides it and doesn't use it.

Why was Rijkaard criticized by Cruyff?

Because he adjusted first, he was countered by Gao Shen.

As long as Gao Shen doesn't take out Ronaldo, Capello will be restrained no matter whether it is a substitution or an adjustment.

Of course, Ronaldo must play, but it takes a time.

Time is on Real Madrid's side, and the score is leading again. The depth depends on how Capello makes moves.

Buenaventura looked at Gao Shen’s leaving back, and then looked at Fernando Lucas, who had only half-knowledge. He couldn’t help being amused, and couldn’t help but reached out and patted Lucas on the shoulder.

"You are still too honest."

Lucas scratched the back of his head in bewilderment.

honest? Is it not good?

…………

…………

At the beginning of the second half, Capello did not rush to attack in a hurry, but organized the attack in an orderly manner.

Real Madrid continued to adopt a defensive and counterattack tactic, shrinking in their own half, allowing Juventus to take the initiative to press out.

The Bianconeri are obviously also quite afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack, especially Negredo's pressing and interference to the back line, which makes Juventus' backcourt quite constrained.

Real Madrid's players are becoming more and more familiar with the advanced four-two-three-one style of play, and their defensive organization is getting better and better. In addition, Juventus is not good at ground penetration and coordination, so it is difficult to attack and can only pass frequently. Long balls to Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic.

These two center forwards have a high ball advantage, but everyone knows that in the tight defensive formation of Real Madrid, the efficiency of this high ball attack is actually very low.

Capello finally lost his composure, and in the fifty-eighth minute, Trezeguet was replaced with Sarajeta.

This is a matchup substitution.

Trezeguet was closely guarded in the two rounds of the match and did not show his due strength.

Gao Shen remained unmoved and continued to defend.

After Sarayeta came off the bench, he was very active, but he did not cause too much damage to Real Madrid's defense.

The reason is not surprising, Juventus midfielder can not pass the ball.

Especially after Nedved didn't dare to run to the middle to pass the ball easily, Ibrahimovic frequently retreated to catch the ball, but the Swedish center was too sticky to the ball and had a quick temper. Under marking, it is difficult to create a threat.

The Champions League soft-legged shrimp is by no means in vain!

Therefore, Juventus can only go high.

When the game time was about to reach 70 minutes, Capello saw that the situation on the court was still not improving, he finally lost his composure and asked Gabiati to ask Mutu to warm up.

As for Real Madrid, after Gao Shen saw Mutu warming up, he immediately asked Maqueda to notify Ronaldo to warm up.

This immediately made Capello in front of the visiting coach's bench furious.

Ma Dan, if I don't change, you won't change, if I want to change, you change too.

Gao, do you still want face?
