ball at foot

It was another 3-0. After winning the game in the league, Liverpool finally ushered in the Champions League knockout round.

The opponent is Real Madrid, which makes Liverpool a little nervous.Although everyone knows that Real Madrid has lost Zidane and Ronaldo, and Beckham is determined to leave. Now it is time for them to change. At this time, Real Madrid should be at its weakest.

However, even if it is weaker, it is Real Madrid.Some teams seek to enter the top four in the league and qualify for the Champions League; The pursuit is always the champion of the Champions League, and it doesn't make people feel crazy. Except for Milan, there is only Real Madrid.

After all, the title of the best team in Europe is not called for nothing.Nine shining big ear cups are enough to explain many problems.

"We have to be careful and have the right mentality, Real Madrid have changed a lot in the past half season, they are not what they were last season. If we are not serious enough, there is a good chance that we will fail - all of you. One has to be very careful."[

Benitez gave some warnings to the players. After all, he is a coach from Madrid, and he is careful enough with Real Madrid.And Zhao Yaning himself was thinking about everything about this Real Madrid team.

Real Madrid has indeed changed a lot since the past half season, and this change is still a benign change.

At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid did have a lot of problems.They changed the "chairman". Everyone knows that when the "chairman" of a La Liga team is changed, it will definitely be followed by a cleansing and turmoil.At that time, no one was optimistic about them, and no one knew what step this Real Madrid team could achieve.Some people even doubt that with the disintegration of the Galacticos, will they usher in Real Madrid's worst record in recent years.

But they are lucky, their coach is Fabio Capello.

After all, Capello is different from any Real Madrid coaches before him. As soon as he came to power, he started reforms with tough wrists.Moreover, he also has this kind of capital and courage. Regardless of his ability and reputation, he is enough to make anyone obedient.

As a wealthy coach, the most difficult thing is not knowledge, but courage.Others took the position of coach of Real Madrid. Facing a group of stars, they didn't dare to be too arrogant. They had to coax the big names of the team, and they didn't dare to offend them at all, for fear of causing problems.Those who were offended, such as Camacho, did not have enough skills and only had a temper, so they dismissed get out of class early and got out.And Capello is not those people, he has scheming, courage, and skills.He dared to tell the media directly that according to his statistics, Ronaldo's running average is not as much as that of Casillas-a well-founded statement that Ronaldo can never refute.Moreover, Capello dared to directly accuse Cassie, saying that Cassie's save action was deliberately pretending to be difficult, and it was done for the sake of eyeballs, which was far worse than Buffon-this also made Cassie rebuttal, Buffon in the World Cup , It really proves that he is a comparable existence.

And if you just blindly blame the stars, you will definitely be rejected by the team, but Capello has made good use of his various relationships to straighten out the team.On the one hand, he rejected Ronaldo, but at the same time, he attracted Carlos, who is also a Brazilian. As the coach who introduced Carlos to Real Madrid, Capello and Carlos had a good relationship, and he easily got Carlos' support. , Disintegrated the Brazilian Gang.In order to show his iron-blooded inhumanity, Capello chose to take his favorite disciple Cassano when he was in Rome. He directly blasted Cassano out of the training ground on the spot. , He was not allowed to train again, and while turning against Cassano, he also told everyone his thoughts, so that the team had no objections.Although he blamed Cassie, he helped Raul complete the transformation and allowed Raul to succeed in the position of left midfielder. At the same time, he also established Guti as the core, suppressed Beckham, and let the traditional forces of Real Madrid fall. To him—this is an extremely remarkable coach who was able to straighten out Real Madrid's intricate locker room relationship in just half a season, allowing Real Madrid's chaotic locker room to be reborn from the ashes. The means are definitely only available to top managers.

And his tactical reform is equally outstanding.

While straightening out Real Madrid's locker room problems, his tactical reforms were equally successful. The arrival of M Diarra, Emerson and Cannavaro has solved Real Madrid's defensive problems very well, while Raul's side, Guti as the core, and the offense's approach of relying on Ruud van Nistelrooy have also made Real Madrid lose their full strength. Dane's pain was solved at once-of course, the team certainly did not play as well as Zidane did, but this way of playing is indeed a practical solution.

Capello is not highly evaluated in Real Madrid now. One is because his tactics are conservative, and the other is that he really doesn't care who the fans love. He only looks at the player's status and strength. The famous Baggio, Batty, Totti, and Del Piero can all prove this point, and now in Real Madrid, Ronaldo and Beckham have been added to the list.He drove away Ronaldo, and many people rumored that Beckham did not renew his contract because of his attitude. Real Madrid fans hated him, and even booed him in home games.Moreover, in the league, it is still six points behind Barcelona and ranked fourth in the league. It is neither good-looking nor has any results. Naturally, fans and the media don't like it.However, everyone has overlooked that it is not easy to bring a turbulent team that is rebuilding to this point.

This game still needs to be very careful.

During the period before the game started, Real Madrid's state was not as good as Liverpool.They just played a draw with Getafe in the league, and the next game is the national derby. The pressure is much greater than Liverpool. However, this also fueled Capello's courage. When facing the interview, He also directly stated his attitude towards the game, "My idea is to focus on defense. Liverpool is a strong team, their strength is very good, and we are under a lot of pressure against them. If we want to win, we have to be defensive and I hope the fans will continue to support the team, but even if there is no support, we have to play like this."

If this is the case, the media will be scolded.However, the players expressed their support for Capello, and Raul was the first to speak out.

"I have to say that Liverpool is indeed a formidable enemy. I have heard Morrow talk about their excellence, and I have paid enough attention to them. Their strength is worth sacrificing some viewing pleasure and playing conservatively. Some."

"It seems that Capello has made up his mind, shameless, as long as he wins." For Capello's words, the Liverpool players were quite sorry, "It looks like another hard battle."

Everyone still doesn't like to play against a strong defensive team.Eating cakes and gnawing ribs definitely require different teeth.The players would be happier if they had the opportunity to face a more offensive team. It is better to play the game vigorously than to play lifelessly.

However, with Capello's temper, even Real Madrid may not be able to attack well.

Because Liverpool is the first to qualify in the group, and the game against Real Madrid must be the first guest and then the host.Therefore, the Liverpool players also arrived in Madrid early to prepare.

And in this game, Figo continued to be put on the substitute list-his recovery is not bad, but the problem is that this is the Bernabeu.As a player who has played for Real Madrid, it is always not good to be the main starter.No one can tell the attitude of the fans. It would be bad if the boos spread everywhere and affected the state. [

As a rotation, Garcia won the first game in the game-Benitez's analysis is that Capello will play defensive football. It's suitable for starting. After all, we are facing old fritters like Carlos, and those who rely on hard work like Dirk Cooke will not take advantage of it too much.

Moreover, although Benitez didn't say it clearly, seeing Garcia's excitement, Zhao Yaning also added one thing in his heart: Let Barcelona-born players play with Real Madrid, which doesn't even need motivation.

In other positions, Liverpool has not changed much.Milito started as a striker, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Garcia as avant-garde, and Mascherano and Alonso behind him.On the back line, Riise, Vidic, Carragher and Maicon stood in front of Reina and formed the back line.

However, when it came time for the game, the Liverpool players were all dumbfounded.

In this game, Real Madrid sent out a lineup that was completely different from the smoke screen they released before the game: they changed the lineup to 442, with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Higuain on the forward line, and the midfield four formed a diamond. position, Raul is on the left, Beckham is on the right, Guti is in the front midfielder, and Gago is in the midfielder position.What is extremely surprising is that Beckham became the starter, while Robinho sat on the bench.

On the back line, Real Madrid is still not strong enough. Their back line is Carlos, Elguera, Cannavaro, and Ramos.

Such a lineup was completely unexpected: M Diarra, Emerson, and Robinho all sat on the bench.Capello did not have a little conservative in the game. On the contrary, he also let the players form an offensive formation, and he was going to have a real showdown with Liverpool.

What is even more surprising is that after seeing Capello's formation, the Bernabéu fans also set off earth-shattering cheers: They were going to boo Capello, but look When Capello's formation was offensive football, they all cheered.

"I have to say, this guy is too smart. What he said before the game not only lied to us, but also to the fans. Now, he played such a trick, we lost in terms of tactics, and we also lost in terms of momentum." lost."

Zhao Yaning whispered to Alonso beside him, and Alonso also smiled, "Talk to the Italians, even if they say the sun is red, you'd better verify it with your own eyes."

Italian football likes to play tricks, everyone knows this.They always like to throw out some serious injuries before the big game, so-and-so can’t play, or the team is out of harmony, the coach is given an ultimatum and what to do. This is the hobby of the Italians. They like to use this method to paralyze Opponent, Ferguson once said, before playing against the Italian, it is best not to believe anything written on the menu.

As a iron coach, Capello has always been known for his toughness. He also played this hand, which made the Liverpool players a little unexpected.

"What should I do?" Garcia asked on the side.

"Do you know, Luis," Alonso replied softly, "sometimes, as a Basque, I have a dream similar to that of you Catalans: to be able to humiliate the Spanish at the Bernabéu. The Castilians, nothing could be more beautiful."

"You really know me." Garcia smiled, "Joy, what about you?"

"You guys are playing football so much? No matter who they are, will our goal change? We are here to conquer, not to die!"
