Soccer Super Marksman

Modric's eyes hinted at the color of reminiscence, and said lightly: "In my memory, you partnered with Lukaku in Manchester United's offensive combination. Although Manchester United does not have many offensive players, there are many changes in offensive routines."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "As you know, Real Madrid has returned to a more conservative technical and tactical style. I guess you may not know much about Lopetegui. Let's put it this way, our current situation It's because you don't invest too many players in the offense. This is the iron law issued by the head coach, so there must be a lot of changes in the offensive routine. To be honest, the offensive partner you formed with Lukaku at Old Trafford , I am envious and surprised, and I feel that there can be positive chemistry between me and you."

Cui Zhen nodded after thinking for a moment, but shook his head again, and said: "No, the situation is actually not the same. Manchester United's game posture in the Premier League still depends on the situation, because the Premier League teams will not be overly conservative at home. , Manchester United can use anti-reverse in the away game, but they will invest more at home. The foundation of this offense has been laid down over the past many years.

Before I went to Manchester United, Pogba and Herrera were a very strong combination.Real Madrid is now overthrowing everything and starting over. The difficulty is much higher than when I played for Manchester United before. It is not a question of how many people are defensive and how many people are offensive. "

Modric nodded in agreement and said: "You're right. That's why I want to talk to you. We hope that the team will be refreshed as soon as possible and move towards a stable and strong road. Communication between teammates is essential. Right?"

"I agree with this. There is no communication without communication. Sometimes it is necessary for everyone to communicate actively to make things better. After this period of training and today's game, I think I am in the game with you. There will be many cooperations that can be derived, and the most important thing is determined by your offensive habits.

On the left side, you tend to cut in the middle and then rush into the penalty area, and I sometimes play on the left side. You and I can form a fixed offensive team on this basis, but there is a big premise, I And you, will not be given new roles and tasks by the head coach, I must make one thing clear, I am just a newcomer who has just arrived in Madrid. "

Cui Zhen's subtext is already obvious, he doesn't want to be the one who disturbs the locker room or antagonizes the head coach.

Modric nodded in understanding, and the two continued to talk deeply, and they left the coffee shop an hour later.

It is true that Cui Zhen felt that he was not particularly comfortable playing in the first official match of Real Madrid, and there were still many hidden dangers and problems in the team, but after the game, he was able to have a formal private exchange with captain Modric, And the discussion was on the theme of competition. He felt that there was still a lot to be gained from this day.

After resting in Madrid for two days, Cui Zhen flew back to China to participate in the 2019 Asian Cup qualifier group stage.

The Asian Cup was originally held every four years. Before 2000, there may not be any problems with the European Cup due to the lack of media network communication. However, in the era of advanced information and competition for ratings and attention, the Asian Cup Colliding with the European Cup is obviously an overreaching performance, so the AFC kept pace with the times and made changes, changing the Asian Cup to be held in odd-numbered years.

In this Asian Cup qualifier, the Huaxia team was in the same group as Palestine, Singapore, and Iraq, and was known as the number one favorite to qualify.

When Cui Zhen returned to China to participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers, Madrid still did not calm down.

This is one of the manifestations of Real Madrid's influence. No matter whether there is a game or not, whether the stars are in the team or not, the news always appears in front of the public without interruption, and this is still very marketable, because the fans who follow Real Madrid are really As many as stars.

The camera story that happened in the game with Villarreal is still being hyped.

Lopetegui yelled at Carvajal during the game and asked the opponent to actively return to the defense. Carvajal's swallowed expression was deliberately amplified. "Aspen" extended comment that Carvajal has lost his status in Real Madrid.

Surrounding Isco, apart from the fact that the club is considering renewing his contract, there are endless commercial concerns.

Cui Zhen left Madrid very low-key, he was not keen on accepting interviews, if not necessary, he would avoid them if he could, so the topics surrounding him were nothing more than that he lived with Lei Tianjiao, and his How eye-catching performance in Real Madrid, the outside world guesses whether it will threaten the status of so and so.

If these news are just the normality of Real Madrid's attention.Then a piece of news disclosed by the Catalan mouthpiece media "Daily Sports" on September 9 had a sensational effect.

On September 9, Lopetegui was invited to participate in the UEFA Coaches Summit.

In the Grove restaurant at the Grand Intercontinental in Geneva, Lopetegui sat down with the Glasgow Rangers and Lyon bosses, unaware of the presence of journalists in disguise next door.

The unsuspecting Lopetegui didn't know that walls have ears, so in this football-themed conversation, Lopetegui, in charge of Real Madrid, was of course the focus.

He appeared to be outspoken, outspoken about some players on the team, and gave the "Daily Sports" a heavyweight scoop.

Lopetegui first responded to the other party's inquiry about Bell's situation. This player who is considered to be a direct descendant of Lopetegui was reused in the first round of the league, but he did not expect that Lopetegui was very disappointed with him.

"He is not the Bale I know anymore. He has regressed a lot in the past two years. His current state is at best 80% of what he was before. I am trying to get him back to his state, hopefully, but you have to know when a Players have lost their form and it will be difficult to recover!"

And the player that Lopetegui appreciates the most is, as expected, Varane from France.

"Varane is a phenomenal player, as well as Kroos and Cui Zhen, who are crucial to maintaining the balance of the team."

If it is said that the first round of the league got off to a good start with Cui Zhen's goal, and Lopetegui's momentum to lead Real Madrid is not bad, then this report made the "White House" of Madrid fall into an unprecedented tense atmosphere.

The outside world sees everything, Lopetegui suppresses senior veterans, and tailors tactics for Benzema, etc., but these are just the work of the head coach.

Private comments are revealed, that's another story.It will intensify the contradictions, and it will also turn the surging undercurrent into a stormy sea.

Now everyone is looking forward to how the Real Madrid players will get along with Lopetegui when they return to the Bernabeu after FIFA matchday.Especially those players who were disliked by Lopetegui.

Cui Zhen is new here, he just cooperated with Lopetegui, and just now it can be considered as a direct victory for Lopetegui, Lopetegui has some praise for Cui Zhen, but it is definitely not to the point of admiration , so Cui Zhen, who is not yet the protagonist of the Bernabéu, has a natural attitude after seeing the reports of the Spanish media in Huaxia.

It's just that he feels that more stories may happen in a week at Real Madrid than in a year at Manchester United or Sao Paulo.

This river and lake is too chaotic, and the future situation is also turbulent.

At present, Real Madrid's foreign players and Spanish local players are unwilling to communicate with Lopetegui.Now no one will jump out and openly rebel. Lopetegui also seems to be majestic as a champion coach, without explaining or comforting. It seems that he told everyone that what he said before was the truth, so that everyone can accept the reality.

This atmosphere is very bad. Although the atmosphere among teammates in the team will not become tense, it is obviously not good for Lopetegui to control the locker room. The players are not willing to communicate with Lopetegui.The communication between the head coach and the team has become a one-sided communication. What Lopetegui said, what the players did, and what the players thought, no one knew.

It was a frustrating scene. Cui Zhen seemed to be able to feel the invisible shadow of the sword, and there seemed to be unknown emotions in the eyes of his teammates who looked at Lopetegui inadvertently.

It was originally speculated that Real Madrid would have a mutiny after the FIFA match day, but Real Madrid was surprisingly quiet after the FIFA match day, no, it should be said to be dead silence!
In the seemingly calm, Real Madrid went to Valencia to prepare for the second round of the league.

They will be away to challenge the Levante team in Valencia.

Valencia City Stadium.

The star-studded Real Madrid and the newly promoted Levante are about to compete.

"The second round of the new season of La Liga is about to start, and Real Madrid is away to face the home team Levante.

Can Real Madrid, who won the last game with difficulty, improve in this game?
The relationship between Lopetegui and the team's locker room has taken a turn for the worse. In the news that was disclosed a few days ago, he unscrupulously published comments on the team's stars, some of which will definitely make the parties dissatisfied.

If Real Madrid wants to make a difference in the new season, the relationship in the locker room must be very coordinated. The so-called generals are single-minded. If the energy is always focused on internal intrigue, how can the team achieve good results?
Today's Levante starting lineup is 442.

Goalkeeper: Olazabal.

Defenders: Luna, Sergio, Kavako, Koke.

Midfielders: Lukic, Ducure, Sargueiro, Lerma.

Forwards: Boateng, Nano.

Real Madrid starting 451.

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Marcelo, Varane, Ramos, Carvajal.

Midfielders: Isco, Kroos, Cui Zhen, Asensio, Modric.

Forward: Benzema.

The game will start immediately, and Levante will take the lead in kicking off. "

Lopetegui still emphasized defense when preparing for this game, but he still elaborated some ideas in offense.For example, when attacking, we must focus on the speed of advancement, and play the width between the defense lines that tear apart the opponent's depth and so on.

This is a normal phenomenon. A coach of Lopetegui's level is definitely not a fledgling young coach who expects to instill tactical concepts into the team. The creation and maturity of a stable strategy needs to be done step by step.Due to Bell's poor performance in the last game, Asensio's performance was eye-catching after his debut. Lopetegui gave Asensio a chance to start this game.

After the start of the game, Real Madrid controlled the situation on the field.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Cui Zhen began to try to cooperate with Modric on the left.He took the lead in dribbling to the left and broke through the defense of the opposing midfielder Dukure, and then tiptoed the ball to Modric before encountering midfielder Lukic.

Modric, who has the habit of cutting into the middle of the penalty area from the side, directly kicked the ball back to the side after receiving the football. After Cui Zhen took the ball, he went around behind Lukic in midfield and played a group with Modric. Nice two over one match.

Then Cui Zhen stepped forward with the ball, and the full-back Luna defended Cui Zhen cautiously one-on-one. After Cui Zhen stepped on a bicycle and passed someone, he made a gesture to cross the right, but he did not touch the football under his feet. Luna Bewildered by Cui Zhen's tendency to move his body, after giving up his body's center of gravity, Cui Zhen stopped abruptly and slammed the ball directly from the front to break through Luna!
After coming to the side area outside the penalty area, Cui Zhen rubbed the ball into the penalty area with the outer instep of his right foot without warning.This kind of outspin pass bypassed the back of the central defender Sergio, and made the goalkeeper Olasabal make a wrong prediction, thus missing the best time to abandon the goal.

Modric quickly slanted in front of the goal to grab the point, but another central defender Kavako blocked in front of Modric. Modric knocked down the opponent and sent the ball into the goal with his body. Just as he was about to celebrate the goal, the referee's whistle blew, indicating that Modric fouled first and the goal was invalid!
Modric protested helplessly, and then gave Cui Zhen a thumbs up, praising the opportunity Cui Zhen created just now.

In fact, teammates, especially forward players, still need to get used to Cui Zhen for a while before they can get familiar with his passing skills that make opponents hard to defend.
