Chapter 396 Volume 3 Red Forest Multiple Choice Questions (Part 1)

"Scorer - Raul Gonzalez!!"

Wearing a white No. 7 jersey, Spain's former golden boy ran to the sidelines with open arms, thumped the Real Madrid team emblem on his chest twice with his right hand, and then made a "V" gesture.

Zidane, who assisted him, ran towards him happily.

In the stands behind the superstars, there was a huge crowd of white people.

Loser George Wood stood on the pitch, staring blankly at the celebrating Real Madrid players, and he had more reason than anyone to feel the pain of it, because he could have prevented the goal from happening and thought he was gone. cost……

Albertini ran up from behind, rubbed Wood's hair vigorously, and said nothing.

Tang En was sitting on the coach's bench. When he saw Zidane pass Wood easily, he had actually expected this result, so he didn't even get up.

Why does he feel that 1:0 is not safe? Because he knows how difficult it is to keep Real Madrid from scoring a single goal at the Bernabeu. It was necessary to expand the lead, but before he could expand it, the advantage was gone.

The TV broadcast gave him a five-second close-up shot again, and Tony • Dunn's face remained expressionless.

On the contrary, Chris Lak, who was next to Tang En, seemed very annoyed.

After Real Madrid equalized, things continued to favor them. Nottingham Forest had to retreat across the board and completely gave up attacking, which was able to withstand Real Madrid's onslaught at the end of the first half.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were full of optimistic expectations for the second half. The Nottingham Forest fans looked worriedly at the players who bowed their heads off the field.

After being equalized, what kind of impact will it have on the morale of the team?

Tang En returned to the locker room and looked at the players. Everyone was taking the time to rest. He closed the door smoothly, then walked to the tactical switch and wiped it clean.

"I remember I said before the game that our defense is a full-court pressing defense." Tang En redraws Real Madrid's lineup. "But I didn't see it, did anyone see it?"

The players looked at each other, obviously the boss was angry again.

"More often, what I see is..." Dunn drew eleven circles in the Forest team's half, "This kind of defense!" He made a cross on those eleven circles.

"Eleven people huddled in their own half, waiting for the opponent to attack, are you all a bunch of shrinking turtles!"

"Just one ball up, back down and hope to hold! Who told you? Me?"

A group of players shrank their necks and were scolded, which really looked like turtles shrinking their heads.

"What does full-court pressing mean? Are you all members of the youth team? Do you need me to explain?" After venting his dissatisfaction, Tang En said in a slow tone, "In the second half... full-court pressing, defending from the front line .One, two, three, four!" Tang En started to draw a straight line from the front court, one by one to his second half.

"I don't want to see a scene where everyone turns around and runs back when the ball is lost. Steal the ball up front, counter-attack on the spot, how many people can go up and how many people can go up. We don't need a draw. You know, it's not about Whether we qualify or not, if we want to qualify, even if we lose to Real Madrid, we can still qualify! This is a game related to our own honor! Lost to them at our home court, do you want to lose again here? !"

Tang En gritted his teeth and stared at the players with a ferocious face.

"Tony, did you feel a little... After all, we haven't lost yet." At the beginning of the second half, Chris Lak asked Tang En who was sitting next to him.

"The score isn't the real reason for my anger, it's just an excuse." Tang En looked at the field and accepted it from his assistant coach, "What makes me dissatisfied is that the performance of the players on the field violated our pre-match rules. Deployment, I allow the players to have their own play on the court, but if their free play is wrong, I will criticize them. Simple as that."

"Then Wood..."

During the intermission, Dunn didn't say anything in particular to Wood, and he didn't leave Wood to talk alone in the locker room when he was about to play. He didn't praise or criticize him. He seemed to completely ignore Zidane's defensive performance. , and that goal.

Chris Lark felt that this was not like Twain's style, because it was well known that Twain favored Wood.

"There's nothing to say...he played very hard, but the gap in strength is there. And there are some things...that can't be made up by just working hard on the court."

Chris Lark was even more strange: "You don't comfort him? He has been very silent, more silent than before. I think that conceding the ball hit him a lot."

Tang En smiled: "It's not a three-year-old kid, I need to comfort him in everything... I think it's pretty good, his career went too smoothly, and it's a good thing that he often encounters some setbacks."

In fact, one of the most important reasons Twain didn't mention: he didn't know what to do now. Wood was carrying a yellow card. The bomb is a hidden danger.

But to change or not to change, Tang En is now hesitating.

Switching is equivalent to removing the barrier in front of the back line, allowing Real Madrid's offense to quickly reach the most dangerous place.

No change, once Wood gets a second yellow card, he will still lose an important barrier in front of the back line, and the Forest team will have one less player on the field, which is a more serious situation.

From a simple analysis, Twain should choose to substitute, because this can relatively minimize the loss. But things on the football field are not so simple to analyze and understand. First, Wood may not necessarily receive a second yellow card; second, whether replacing Wood at the beginning of the second half will have any bad influence on Wood, after all, this is tantamount to denying a player in front of everyone Performance on the field.

The above are all uncertain factors, and the possible consequences of making judgments and taking actions through uncertain factors are also uncertain.

The combination of these messy uncertainties made Tang En hesitate.

He stopped talking and stared at the court with a solemn expression.

Twain's scolding in the locker room during the intermission paid off. The performance of the Forest team in the second half has changed a lot compared to the first half. The players strengthened their steals in the frontcourt. The on-the-spot counter-grab was also done very well. Real Madrid suddenly felt uncomfortable.

This was the scene Tang En hoped to see. The Real Madrid players had to focus more on how to deal with the forest team's crazy pressing, instead of thinking about how to play beautifully and score goals.

Real Madrid has always been afraid of this kind of pressing. They put too much emphasis on beautiful ball possession and offense, but they have no players who can protect this beautiful space and offense. The only one, Makelele, has been abandoned by them. This paid the price of being empty-handed for two consecutive seasons, and if there are no accidents, they will continue to be empty-handed this season.

The rise of Nottingham Forest is inseparable from their excellent midfielder-George Wood. When Wood is in a stable state, the rest of the Forest team can rest assured to attack boldly. They don't have to worry about getting caught in the opponent's press, because Wood is better than the opponent, and they are not afraid of losing the ball.

The current Real Madrid does not have this ability.

What? Gravesen you say?

In Tang En's eyes, this Dane was not worth mentioning at all. When he was at Everton, Gravesen was still shining, but coming to Real Madrid is basically tantamount to going backwards. In fact, this phenomenon is very interesting. Many players who performed well in other teams immediately disappeared when they arrived at Real Madrid.

For example, Gravesen just mentioned, when he was at Everton, he was a midfielder who could organize offense. There is also the Uruguayan defensive midfielder Pablo Garcia, who only transferred to Real Madrid this summer. When he was in Osasuna, he was the defensive midfielder with the most cards and the most "dirty" in La Liga last season. As a "butcher", but, when I arrived at Real Madrid, I suddenly couldn't find my way. Similar to this is Baptista, who is the core in Sevilla and one of the most eye-catching players in La Liga. His performance in Real Madrid has fallen from heaven to earth.

As a defensive midfielder, Gravesen is more than one level behind Makelele in terms of positioning, anticipation, running and defensive skills. Twain even thought that Gravesen in Real Madrid was not as good as George Wood in Forest.

He seemed to have suddenly gone from an all-round midfielder who could organize attacks and kick accurate passes to a reckless man who could only tackle fouls.
