Starting with Real Madrid

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 of the game.

From ancient times to the present, the most respected military strategists of Gao Shen are the great leaders. Crossing the Chishui River is forever a god.

From many wonderful battles, in a disadvantaged situation, he never confronts his opponent head-on, avoids the opponent's edge at home, studies the opponent's strength and weakness, and waits for the best opportunity to appear.

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: In the past, those who were good at fighting were invincible first, and then 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 philosophy since he coached Real Madrid, and he did the same when facing Barcelona tonight.

Under the circumstance that Real Madrid is weaker than Barcelona, ​​it is absolutely unwise to choose to face hard, so he chooses to defend, first try to put himself in an invincible position, and then slowly wait for the opponent to make mistakes.

There are three more sentences after Sun Tzu's art of war: invincibility lies in oneself, but victory lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible, but cannot make the enemy invincible. Therefore it is said: Victory can be known, but cannot be done.

It means that subjective efforts can only put oneself in a position where he cannot be defeated, but whether the opponent can be defeated depends on the opponent's own mistakes, not what we can subjectively decide.

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

It was like the battle of Turin three days ago. Both Gao Shen and Capello put themselves in a position where they would not make mistakes, and the final result of the game could only be zero to zero.

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

But a lot of times, not all games are like Turin, and all managers are like Capello.

Real Madrid may not always be able to keep itself invincible by focusing on defense, because with time, with physical exhaustion, with repeated pressure from opponents, Real Madrid will always have loopholes.

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

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

More importantly, before this game, Gao Shen led the team from being ten points behind to only five points behind. Even if the game was a draw, the result would still be beneficial to Real Madrid.

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

He wants to win!

……

From the beginning of the second half, Barcelona 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, and Negredo hit a long shot from the front of the penalty area, but failed to pose a threat.

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

Larson began to lean in the middle, forming a real double forward with Eto'o, and the right side was handed over to Belletti's back insertion, which 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 defend in time, blocked the penalty area.

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

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

In front of the visiting team's coach, Gao Shen had been paying attention to what happened on Rijkaard's side. When he saw Giuli come out, he secretly had some expectations in his heart.

Barcelona is going to make a substitution!

Who to replace?

"Larson?" Maquida guessed with a frown.

Gao Shen thought the same at the beginning, but soon shook his head again, "Larson's scoring efficiency is very high, and his sense of smell in front of goal is very good. The effect he can play in this situation is better than Eto'o. , but Rijkaard won't change for Eto'o either."

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

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

"Van Bommel!"

Maqueda, Lucas and the others were all stunned.

Among the three Barcelona midfielders, Deco and Iniesta are both technical and creative. Only Van Bommel is both offensive and defensive, able to defend at the same time, and do some tiring and dirty work.

Are you really going to replace Van Bommel?

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

This move is indeed ruthless, but it also has great hidden dangers.

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

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

Soon, the answer was revealed.

In the 60th minute, Barcelona took the lead in making substitutions and replaced Van Bommel with Giuli.

When the fourth official on the sidelines raised the number plate for the substitution, Maquida, Lucas, Buenaventura and others looked at Gao Shen again, obviously completely different from before.

You can guess this!

God!

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

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

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

"You let Ronaldo warm up." Gao Shen urged.

Lucas was stunned for a moment, then immediately woke up and ran to the bench.

……

The movement from Real Madrid quickly attracted the coaching bench of the home team, and even the entire field, and even the live TV footage was instantly switched to the coaching bench of the away team on the sidelines.

No way, the game on the court is too dull, it's 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, followed by harsh boos throughout the Camp Nou.

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

"Ronaldo stepped out of the bench and was about to go to the sidelines to warm up. It looked like he was going to come off the bench."

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

"Hey, we saw that there is also movement on the home team's bench, and Rijkaard is 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 tit-for-tat against Maimang, and the substitutions are also tit-for-tat."

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

Real Madrid scouts said that Barcelona once arranged Thiago Motta to partner with Puyol in training, but it was Oleg partnered with Puyol when the game started, which proves that Rijkaard once thought about it. Start Thiago Motta.

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

Actually, this is also normal.

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

So the crux of the question now is, is Ronaldo a good soldier? Or is Thiago Motta better?

……

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

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

Sometimes Gao Shen thought that if he was thinner, he would definitely perform better than he is now.

Of course, Ronaldo's weight loss plan has already been arranged by Gao Shen.

I don't say how much it can be reduced, but the state must be mentioned.

"I told you before that Oleg's turning speed is too slow, which is a loophole, but now it seems that Rijkaard also knows, so he uses Thiago Motta to go up."

After Ronaldo got close, Gao Shen warned him carefully.

"If Giuli hadn't replaced Van Bommel, I guess Belletti might have gone, but not now, so I think it's Oleg or Puyol, which is something 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, but he was very uncomfortable and often lost his position."

As soon as the high-sounding words fell, Ronaldo immediately understood, "I tried to pull him out and plug it in later."

When speaking, Ronaldo made a gesture of slashing with a knife.

Gao Shen likes to talk to smart people.

……

In the 65th minute, Real Madrid made the first substitution in the game~www.wuxiax.com~ Ronaldo replaced the captain Raul.

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

This is also the consistent strategy of Real Madrid, with the longest-serving player in the team as the captain.

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

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

This substitution, Gao Shen had communicated with Raul before the game, which is why Raul ran so hard in this game.

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

In this regard, Ronaldo has done a good job, coordinating with advanced moves, and the local players are also very face-to-face. Even Ramos accepted Ronaldo's blessings and gifts at his birthday party.

Now, it's up to Ronaldo to complete the task Gao Shen gave him.

After Ronaldo came on, Real Madrid's formation also changed.

Beckham was once again pulled back by Gao Shen to play as a midfielder, forming a three midfielder. Zidane stepped forward, Ronaldo and Negredo formed a double striker in front.

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

After Giuli came on the court, Barcelona faintly transformed into a double-forward plus double-forward attacking tactic, while Real Madrid used substitutions to further strengthen their defense and put on a stance of sticking to the end, but at the same time they showed Ronaldo in front. This sharp knife.

Next, we will see if Ronaldo can break through Barcelona's defense.
