ball at foot

Now that Barcelona has been eliminated from the Champions League, the final face of La Liga will be maintained by Real Madrid.And this has become an extremely important matchup this season.

If Real Madrid wins, they will be able to enter the Champions League again after a lapse of seven years.And if they win the trophy successfully, then, that is to say, they will win their tenth Champions League trophy-the Champions League's regulations are that one trophy can be kept every five times, if Real Madrid can keep two, then It's something no one can compare to.

Speaking of which, if they successfully win the Champions League this time, then both Zhao Yaning and Raul will win the Champions League for the fourth time.Now Morientes has retired, and Maldini only has four Champions Leagues. If they succeed, then the number of Champions League trophies of the two of them will be tied for the number one among active players in the world.

For Zhao Yaning, this is undoubtedly a further proof of himself, and for Raul, this is also the belated honor of Lord of the Rings.

But now, they are very close to this honor. [

In the Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid had already won the first leg.After arriving at Old Trafford, they also came with a 3-1 advantage.As long as they score one goal, Manchester United must score at least three goals if they want to win. This is also an extremely difficult task for Manchester United.

However, Ferguson did not give up before the game.This is an extremely close moment of unparalleled honor for Real Madrid, so why not for Manchester United?As long as they can enter the final this time, Manchester United is only one step away from defending the title-this season, their games against Chelsea are one draw and one loss, one game is 3-0, one game is 0-0, Chelsea and Manchester United have played so well For many years, it can be said that Manchester United has figured it out. Their Didier Drogba has never scored against Manchester United.

Although Ferguson is an old and cunning person, people still know a little about his ambition.Especially after seeing Real Madrid lose the national derby, Ferguson's words made the English media even more confident.

"I think for some teams, we still have to be careful. Our players are very good players. I don't want them to be hurt."

Although Ferguson could see that the result of the loss was not caused by Real Madrid's lack of strength, but this did not prevent him from making verbal provocations about it-the Real Madrid players must not be able to keep their minds calm when this happened. Yes, and when the opponent's players have psychological problems, provocation before the game is the best time.

What Ferguson said before the game was obviously aimed at Pepe.Pepe's malicious foul has been the most heated discussion during this period, and Pepe is naturally the focus of Ferguson's attack.This kind of psychological tactics has always been a favorite of Ferguson, and this game is no exception.Pepe has provoked such a big battle, and it is when the whole world is paying attention, saying a few words about him can well affect his state, and even affect the state of Real Madrid.For such an opportunity, Ferguson will not miss it.

And his words were not without effect.In this game, Real Madrid made adjustments, let Pepe off the field to rest, and let Martinez play.

"This is not a suspension of him." Regarding this, Ancelotti also explained in the locker room, "It is his protection. At this time, his every move is being watched by people, less Playing, playing less, showing less, and waiting until the weather calms down will do him good."

Players need protection at certain times. When they make mistakes like this, it is the time when the media is arguing fiercely. If players are allowed to persist on the court, although it is possible to cultivate the nerves of perseverance in the players, there are also some It may lead to more saliva, leading to a loss of confidence in the players, and it is completely over.

If Benitez was coaching, he wouldn't care about these things. He didn't care about the players, as long as they played well.If Mourinho is coaching, he won't care. He will tell the players to be brave enough to fight the media and work harder during the game. He will turn the players' anxiety into resentment very well, but this Whether resentment will make the player stronger or make the player beyond redemption is beyond his control.But Ancelotti obviously has another style. For him, it is still safe for the players to avoid them and not stand out.This kind of style is a bit cowardly, but for the rich coaches, this is the safest way.After all, the club spent tens of millions to buy the players. If they fail to withstand the pressure and collapse, the team's burden will suddenly increase a lot.

And his substitute, Ancelotti, chose Martinez. Although he is still very young, less than 20 years old, playing such a game is a bit risky, but Real Madrid now has no more reliable people.Both Flamini and Diarra have not played for a long time, and their confidence has been severely damaged.In contrast, Martinez has not been in Real Madrid for a long time, and he is still full of confidence. He is the most suitable candidate.

Apart from this point, Real Madrid has no other substitutions.This lineup is already Real Madrid's strongest lineup.

As for Manchester United, they have made some small adjustments.

In this game, they did not send Carrick again.Instead, it was another Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung.

"Manchester United's midfield change is a bit confusing. They did not use Carrick, who controlled the rhythm, but Park Ji-sung... This change seems a bit strange."

Manchester United's changes are indeed a bit confusing.Although Carrick's offensive and defensive functions are not obvious enough when he is on the court, he is also an indispensable part.But now, he was replaced by Park Ji-sung. This substitution made it somewhat difficult to see through Manchester United's intentions.

However, after the start of the game, it didn't take long for people to gradually understand what Ferguson's intentions were.

"What Ferguson wants is not a better offense. What he wants to do is to completely block Zhao Yaning." Lineker, who commented on the game, immediately understood, "Zhaochao is the most difficult point to deal with in this game, so, What Ferguson wants is to minimize Zhao Yaning’s role and lead a happy life for the little boy.”

This season, Zhao Yaning, who moved to the middle, took on more tasks of holding the ball and organizing. In this way, his tactical position in the team has also been enhanced a lot.Because he has a heavy task of organizing and holding the ball in the frontcourt, he is the one who fully mobilizes Real Madrid's frontcourt attack. As the core, he has the most passing and control tasks. Therefore, when Ferguson thinks of defense, the method he uses is also the same as There was a gap last season. [

On the one hand, he is still arranging the defensive line for Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough, and on the other hand, in order to reduce the role of Zhao Yaning’s passing organization, he also arranged new arrangements.

It is the best way to let a Park Ji-sung pester Zhao Yaning.

In Manchester United, Park Ji-sung generally undertakes more defensive tasks, and his defense has always been reflected in his excellent defense by stalking.Although his technical ability can only be said to be average and not very strong, but he has plenty of physical strength and active running. This is an extremely rare Korean player in the world. This aspect can be said to be the world's leader. He has brought this to the extreme. Relying on his wide range of running, he happens to be the most powerful candidate to mark Zhao Yaning.

And this game was arranged by Ferguson in this way.Let Park Ji-sung follow Zhao Yaning all over the court, restricting him from taking the ball and passing the ball.Of course, Ferguson is very clear that doing so will not be able to completely stop Zhao Yaning. With Zhao Yaning’s ability, when he wants to dribble and make a surprise attack, Park Zhixing will certainly not be able to stop him, but as long as Park Zhixing can not entangle Zhao Yaning, let Zhao Yaning If there is a problem with passing and receiving the ball, then Real Madrid's overall attack will also drop.

The current Park Ji-sung is like a dog skin plaster on Zhao Yaning. Although he can't completely lose his effectiveness, at least he can only play [-]% of his level.If Zhao Yaning usually has a hundred passes in a game, he needs to reduce this number to eighty.If Zhao Yaning usually has five breakthroughs per game, then it may not be a very important difference for him to reduce this number to four, but in such a big competition, such a difference of one star and a half is very obvious.

"Ferguson clearly sees that the current Real Madrid's offensive power is maintained by Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning's combing in the frontcourt is the most important reason why Real Madrid can gain an advantage against many teams. Now, he uses a Park Ji-sung To influence Zhao Yaning’s pass is tantamount to disrupting Real Madrid’s rhythm completely. Without Zhao Yaning’s command, Real Madrid’s attack power has been hindered. There is also Scholes, and Manchester United, as a counter-attack player, has better defense and fewer balls. They don't need the ball and send all the balls to Real Madrid's feet, but they restrict Zhao Yaning and prevent Real Madrid from attacking. , and then wait for the opportunity to play such a style of play, which is a bit weak, but it is absolutely easy to use." Lineker analyzed, "So, now, Zhao Yaning has also encountered a tactic against him. Obviously, this is a good one. Tactics, then, can Manchester United, which has already made up its mind to curl up for a three-pointer, be able to block Zhao Yaning? Moreover, what is more interesting is: if Chelsea enters the final, then Park Ji-sung’s position will become Essien , Ferguson may have indirectly helped Hiddink adjust his tactics by doing so."

From the time when Park Ji-sung started to entangle, Zhao Yaning suddenly understood that he might be in some trouble.

Manchester United has some targeted tactics for himself, which he can think of, but it is still a bit unexpected to rely on Park Ji-sung to start.

However, he did have some influence on Zhao Yaning: Although Park Zhixing’s ability is not outstanding, he is full of physical strength and full of resilience. Every time Zhao Yaning can easily get rid of him, he can immediately entangle him.Although in terms of ability, he is indeed somewhat lacking, but when it comes to hard work, there are indeed few people who can catch up with him.This kind of shameless energy that can be entangled immediately after being thrown off no matter how many times, is extremely rare for defensive players.

Real Madrid's attack centered on Zhao Yaning. Although he was unable to defend Zhao Yaning, but relying on stalking, it also made Zhao Yaning’s shots not smooth.At the same time, Manchester United's defense line retreated aggressively. There was a lot of distance between the midfielder and the back line, and Zhao Yaning was not given any room to sprint. Zhao Yaning also received some restrictions because of his focus on defense, and Real Madrid’s attack was already extremely dependent on Zhao Yaning. In a short period of time, Real Madrid’s offensive advantage also stagnated.

And this time is also the time for Manchester United to attack.
