Starting with Real Madrid

Italian football has always had a hard time playing side players.

On the one hand, it is because Italian teams attach great importance to defense, and the space on the wing is very small; on the other hand, it has always been the case in Serie A tradition.

They once circulated a saying that no matter how well they play on the wing, they still have to return to the middle in order to score.

So in the past few years, most of the players who came out of Italian football were in the middle.

In particular, No. 9 and a half, represented by Robert Baggio, led a wave.

However, this does not mean that the Italian teams do not have flanks, but their flanks place more emphasis on running, cooperating and defending.

Camoranesi is such a typical Italian winger. He is good at attacking and defending, has plenty of energy, is active in running, is very comprehensive, and has high tactical execution ability. No matter what task the coach gives him, he can complete it.

And such wing players are no longer competitive in the Premier League, La Liga, and even the Bundesliga.

Times have changed!

Juventus has a very strong lineup. Take the midfield as an example. From left to right are Nedved, Emerson, Vieira and Camoranesi. The most powerful midfield configuration in luxury.

Even Gao Shen thought at first glance that this was outrageous, who could match?

But after careful consideration, it is not difficult to find that this lineup seems to be powerful and all-round, but it is actually very mediocre.

Camoranes, Emerson and Vieira are all-round and all-round, even the biggest Nedved, the first impression is iron man, bloody, tenacious, but never footwork and creation force.

Then the question arises, when such four players form a midfield, what will it look like?

The simplest question is, if the opponent's formation is tight and the players have the right execution, who can open the gap in the formation in a positional battle and in a one-on-one, and then disintegrate the opponent's defense?

The answer is obvious, no!

When facing a tight defense, Juventus usually only has two moves, constantly pressing forward, forcing the opponent to make mistakes, just like a battering ram, hitting repeatedly, but it can’t be hit, and the city can see the city. The firmness of the door.

In other words, it depends on how strong the opponent's defense is.

Another option is to go directly to the center forward, for which Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic are prepared.

But everyone knows that Trezeguet can't hold the ball, Ibrahimovic is too rough, and Juventus' long pass is very inefficient.

The midfield lacks creativity and does not have enough ability to connect, the two center forwards do not have a large range of movement, and the ability to retreat and connect is not strong, which makes Juventus' offense seem strong, but in fact, it is very difficult. Mechanical rigidity and lack of flexibility.

……

This in-depth analysis is actually collected from the tactical library, which contains the views and opinions of many tacticians such as Wenger, Lippi, Ancelotti and Mancini on this Juventus team this season.

But Gao Shen doesn't just look at other people's opinions, but after repeated research and verification, and after thoroughly understanding it, he will completely transform it into his own.

Now, he just explained his understanding by chatting with Zidane and Beckham.

The two superstars on the opposite side were taken aback for a while, because they were too surprised.

This is like a twenty-five-year-old rookie who has just been coaching can express it?

After Gao Shen's deconstruction, they all felt that Juventus didn't seem so scary.

Not even scary at all!

As long as Real Madrid maintains a tight formation, as long as Real Madrid does not make mistakes in defense, why are you afraid of him?

After digesting what Gao Shen had just said, Zidane suddenly thought of the second question.

"Did you mention tactics just now?"

Gao Shen nodded, "As if I said Camoranesi, times have changed."

Now the popular Premier League and La Liga are 433 and 4231, but the three strong teams in Serie A, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, are currently playing 442, of which Ancelotti has not yet Pulling out the Christmas tree he became famous for, instead, under pressure from Berlusconi, took the double striker.

Then came the problem.

Compared with 442, what are the advantages of 433 and 4231 as we usually understand?

The answer is midfield.

In fact, 442 is a formation that is very unsuitable for controlling the midfield. On the contrary, this formation is more suitable for long passes and rushing, which is England's formation, which can quickly hit the frontcourt.

But everyone knows that the efficiency of long pass rushing is very low. In recent years, the mainstream tactical trend in European football is to control the midfield and place superior forces in the midfield. Whether it is attacking or defending, it will have an advantage.

This point, in the later Barcelona dream team, reached a kind of extreme.

Ancelotti will lead AC Milan to win the Champions League next season, relying on the Christmas tree of 4321. Seedorf and Kaka are actually midfielders, plus Ambrosini, Pirlo and Gatu. So as to achieve effective control of the midfield.

The best in Serie A in this regard is Roma. Capello adopted the three-six-one tactics in Roma, with a full six midfielders, but in Juventus, especially after Vieira joined this season, he Had to adopt four midfield tactics.

It's like Real Madrid's superstars, who can leave them alone?

Vieira is here, and there is another Emerson in the team. Who can spare the two world-class midfielders?

Plus a Nedved and Camoranesi, how can the lineup be arranged?

Win one in the frontcourt?

Is it Trezeguet who has the most scoring ability? Or will Ibrahimovic, who is the most capable of singles, win?

Juventus' problem is actually the same as Real Madrid's superstar strategy.

This is what Gao Shen said before, the strongest is often the weakest.

……

After listening to Gao Shen's remarks, Zidane and Beckham looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.

This is the first time he has been so close to analyze the opponent with a high level, which is very different from the previous tactical meetings.

In the past, they always thought it was the team effort of the coaching staff.

But now it seems that Gao Shen really has something of his own.

Zidane sighed heavily and said with a smile: "After hearing what you said, I suddenly found out that Juventus is not scary at all, I can go back and have a good sleep."

Gao Shen smiled, feeling somewhat satisfied. After all, it was not easy to get Zidane's approval.

"However, if you follow your line of thinking and try to keep the away game as level as possible, it is estimated that you will be scolded even worse after the game." Beckham laughed.

Gao Shen recently led the team to five consecutive victories, but he was also scolded very badly.

However, he is also very rude, and he is not soft on the media. So far, he has not even participated in a game press conference, which has caused Maqueda to suffer and be scolded.

Why?

The media vented the grievances of not being able to see Gao Shen and scolding Gao Shen in person, on Maqueda, the tool of the press conference.

"Just scold." Gao Shen is free and easy, "We only have such a little strength now. If we don't kick like this, how else can we kick?"

Zidane and Beckham were dumbfounded.

A superstar is arrogant, but not blind.

They know how much Real Madrid weighs. Otherwise, how could Zidane maintain such a good state and announce his early retirement when he still has a contract with Real Madrid?

On the football field, everything still depends on strength.

If you want to win, you have to win beautifully, yes, show your strength!

It's like Rijkaard's second dream team and Guardiola's third dream team.

…………

…………

The next morning, Real Madrid held their last tactical meeting before the game.

After sending Zidane and Beckham away last night, Gao Shen "stayed up late" in the tactical library and perfected some of his thoughts and ideas, including how to effectively defend against Juventus' problems.

As a head coach, Gao Shen must implement his tactics through the players.

In this game, Gao Shen emphasized pressing and pressing from a high position, but he did not need the players to run all over the field. Instead, he should pay attention to keeping the formation meticulous and orderly, and rely on the team's overall combat to defend.

If it is said that Juventus' attack is a battering ram, then the 4231 that Gao Shen prepared for Real Madrid is equivalent to setting up a few more gates. Next.

Ramos and Woodgate have good maneuverability, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic are not speedy, and even their running ability is not great, Trezeguet is more of a kind A traditional center who relies entirely on midfielders to give the ball.

So ~www.wuxiax.com~ Gao Shen can take high pressure with confidence.

But Gao Shen emphasizes one point, that is, reducing his own mistakes.

"I want each of you to understand that the Champions League knockout stage is a two-legged, 180-minute game, not 90 minutes, so whatever we do at the Alpenstadion, it depends on the second leg. The matchup will be at our home court at that time.”

"So, I hope you can maintain enough patience in the game, to know clearly that our most important task tonight is to keep clean, as long as we can keep it, we will have an advantage when we return to the Bernabeu, I have confidence To be able to beat Juventus."

Gao Shen said with great certainty.

It doesn't matter how beautiful the theory is, the key is to practice it on the court.

Tonight is the best opportunity to practice.

As long as he can hold it tonight, it will prove that the high-level idea is right, and in the second round, he will have more confidence.

Moreover, he also wants to use the first leg to better observe the situation of Juventus.

There are many things that are not found in the tactical library, and you need to dig and explore by yourself.

It's not that Gao Shen didn't think about grabbing an away goal on the road, but it's too risky.

Capello claims to be a one-to-zero principle. As long as he is given a goal, he will definitely defend more tightly than anyone else when he returns to the Bernabeu. At that time, Real Madrid will be very passive and have to press hard.

In the face of such a team, you really can't take risks, you have to fight to the death with the opponent.

As for what the outside media and fans will scold at that time, Gao Shen doesn't care.

He has only one goal now, and that is to lead Real Madrid to continue on the two roads of the Champions League and La Liga.
