Starting with Real Madrid

Chapter 87: Gao, do you still want a face?

body 87 Gao, do you still want face? [Kneeling and begging 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 top five leagues over the past few years, the most common score is 1-0.

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, which is about 15 percent.

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

Then there are two to zero and zero to zero, ranking fourth and fifth respectively, the ratio is about 8% to 10%.

As soon as they saw this data, I believe everyone would be surprised, because the deviation from their own impressions was too great.

But that's the truth.

There will be a selective memory in the impression of fans, and they are naturally more impressed by some games with larger scores.

Fernando Lucas once specially compiled a data, one of which is very interesting and profound, that is, in the memory of many fans, Real Madrid played the best offensive football in the 2002-03 season. Thirty-eight rounds of the league scored 86 goals and conceded 42 goals.

Defensive stats aside, let's talk goals.

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

There are six with two goals, seven with three, six with four and four with five.

Among them, there are ten games that have kept opponents clean, and only two of these ten games have scored three goals or more.

Seventeen games have scored more than three goals. In addition to these two clean sheets, 15 games have conceded goals, and many of them have conceded two goals or even three goals.

Note that this is still recognized by everyone in the world, Real Madrid has the most peak in recent years, and the most superstars are in the best state of the 02-03 season.

Fernando Lucas compiled this data with a very simple intention. He just wanted to comfort Gao Shen so that he wouldn’t have to worry too much about external claims. One-to-zeroism is actually a normal phenomenon for a normal team.

Combined with the questionnaire survey of the media, combined with the data of Fernando Lucas, we can actually give a very intuitive outline, that is, on the football field, scoring a goal is actually a very, very difficult thing.

To a certain extent, scoring a goal means victory!

In the Champions League knockout stage with the highest level of technical and tactical dialogue, this situation will only become more obvious.

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

Away goals are not good?

No, it's fragrant, very fragrant.

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

If you don't grab an away goal, you are instead scored by Juventus. With 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 title, then Gao Shen doesn't mind wearing it.

When returning to the Bernabeu, the first thing that Gao Shen had to consider when arranging the premise of tactics was not to allow Juventus to score.

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

So Gao Shen seemed aggressive at the start, but in fact he was still seeking stability, and then he grabbed Juventus' Achilles heel and scored a goal.

and then?

Gao Shen began to signal, and the team continued to defend.

Juventus is also very interesting. After conceding the ball, they tried to counterattack for a while, but 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 scored, Juventus only needed to score one goal to tie the total score, and then reverse with the away goal, but if Juventus' attack caused the back line to fail, Real Madrid seized the opportunity and attacked again. If they score goals, they will be even more desperate.

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

Juventus have not shown any aggressive ambitions.

"Great job everyone!"

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

Everyone's expressions were quite excited, but they were all panting.

Don't look at the game, it seems dull, but it is very intense, and the consumption of players is also very large.

Gao Shen glanced at the eleven players in the locker room, he kept nodding, and gave him his admiration without hesitation. This was the reward they deserved.

"Everyone, I can't guess what kind of tactics Juventus will use in the second half. Will Capello attack after the opening? Or will he make adjustments through substitutions? But I can be sure that the situation in the second half will be better than that of the second half. The first half was harder."

"Everyone feels how strong Juventus is, but I am here and I can proudly tell you that tonight, at the Bernabeu, you will eliminate this strong team, and you will prove with a victory that you are better than They are stronger and better!"

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

They were still panting and still looking tired, but they were all full of fighting spirit.

Eliminate Juventus and they are in the Champions League semi-finals.

"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 technical, tactical, physical or willpower, it is the most difficult challenge. I believe that you have already done it. If you are mentally prepared, you will definitely be able to withstand this test.”

With incomparable determination and confidence in Gao Shen's eyes, he clenched his fists hard and "stared" at the players viciously.

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

If there is no goal in the first half, many players may still have doubts, or even lack confidence.

But now, Gao Shen said, Real Madrid will definitely be able to score when they return to the Bernabeu. As a result, they really scored.

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

...

Leaving aside the individual abilities, characteristics and squads of the players, the biggest problem with Juventus is their tactics.

Four-four-two parallel positions.

Why did Nedved have to move from left midfield to attacking midfielder?

Because there is no one in the middle.

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

Benitez went a step further from the 442 formation of Ranieri and Cooper, and took out the 423 formation, which helped Valencia win the La Liga title 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 accidents are everywhere on the court.

Therefore, at halftime, what he emphasized the most was the mistakes of the players, and mistakes should be avoided as much as possible.

Especially the kind of involuntary mistakes in the case of huge physical consumption.

...

"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 told them all.

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

Both knew that it was crucial to the direction of the game.

"Why not Ronaldo?" Lucas asked curiously.

Ronaldo has entered the squad tonight and will definitely come off the bench, but why didn't Gao Shen let him on?

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

Lucas showed a thoughtful look, while Buenaventura nodded somewhat clearly.

"Because you don't know when it fell." Gao Shen took the initiative to answer.

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

But the depths are hidden and useless.

Why was Rijkaard criticized by Cruyff?

Because he was the first to adjust, the result was countered by Gao Shen.

As long as Gao Shen doesn't take out Ronaldo, Capello will be constrained whether it is a substitution or adjustment.

Of course, Ronaldo must get on, but it takes a moment.

Time is on Real Madrid's side, and the score is ahead again, so it depends on how Capello makes his move.

Buenaventura watched Gao Shen leave, and then looked at Fernando Lucas, who had only half-understood it. He couldn't help laughing in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Lucas on the shoulder.

"You are still too honest."

Lucas grabbed the back of his head in confusion.

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 steady counter-attack strategy, shrinking in their own half, allowing Juventus to take the initiative to press it out.

The Bianconeri are obviously quite afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack, especially Negredo's pressing and interference on the back line~www.wuxiax.com~ makes Juventus's backcourt quite constrained.

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

These two centers have the advantage of high ball, but everyone knows that in Real Madrid's tight defense, the efficiency of this kind of high ball attack is actually very low.

Capello finally couldn't hold his breath, and in the fifty-eighth minute, Trezeguet was replaced by Sarayata.

This is a matchup substitution.

Trezeguet was closely guarded in these two rounds and did not play his due strength.

Gao Shen was unmoved and continued to hold steady.

Sarayeta came off the bench and was very positive, but didn't do much damage to Real's defense either.

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

Especially after Nedved didn't dare to run to the middle again to bring a pass, Ibrahimovic often retreated to receive the ball, but the Swedish center was too sticky and impatient, and he was strict in Real Madrid. Marked, it is difficult to create a threat.

The Champions League soft-footed shrimp is by no means a false name!

As a result, Juventus can only take the high ball.

When the game time was about to reach 70 minutes, Capello saw that the situation on the field was still not improving. He finally lost his temper and asked Gabiati to call Mutu to warm up.

On the Real Madrid side, after Gao Shen saw Mutu warming up, he immediately asked Maqueda to inform Ronaldo to warm up.

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

Ma Dan, if I don't change people, you won't change them. If I want to change people, you will change too.

Gao, do you still want a face?
