Chapter 507 Shaking Hands Doesn't Mean Peace

"You will play the center position in the next game, is it okay?!" Mourinho talked to Zhang Yuan during the training break.

This surprise came too suddenly, Zhang Yuan nodded quickly, "Of course it's no problem! Boss, tell me how you arrange it!"

"Uh, do you still need to talk?! Didn't you see the tactics we practiced during this time!" Mourinho asked back.

Oh, Zhang Yuan finally understands that during this period of time, Mourinho has been practicing the 433 tactic. The midfielder has three defensive midfielders and the meat grinder tactic. After the Tottenham game, he practiced this tactic in the team. He did it very seriously. Of course, he didn't tell the players that he planned to use 433 in the national derby.

Zhang Yuan has always been on the bench, and he is fighting against the main defender, so he has always felt that he may not be sent out by Mourinho. Now it seems that Mourinho is using him to fight against the main defender. , the purpose is to increase the level of confrontation.

Mourinho not only notified Zhang Yuan alone, he also notified other personnel, who will start, make early plans.

Starting today's practice, I started to use the group prepared to play in the national derby, the substitute group, and fight against each other in groups. Mourinho began to teach the players how to play.

In fact, his tactical purpose is very simple, interception in the midfield, defensive defense in the backcourt, free play in the frontcourt, just these three simple points.

Mourinho is very clear that it is too difficult to control the midfield in Barcelona's total defense. No matter how unconvinced, Barcelona's small-scale passing is better than Real Madrid, and it's not just a little bit stronger, it's much stronger .

So Mourinho no longer hopes to control the midfielder. In his plan, Real Madrid must be concise when playing the ball in the frontcourt. The midfielder intercepts the ball and passes it directly to Ronaldo, Zhang Yuan and Di Maria. three people.

The three players in the frontcourt, Mourinho, constantly corrected their running positions during the drill, especially the cross-interactive running positions between the three. Ronaldo's task is still a free man in the frontcourt, and he will play a very important role.

"Remember that you don't switch positions too much with Cristiano and Angel. You have two tasks. One is to use your personal ability to directly confront the opponent, and the other is to cover the two sides. , especially when it comes to playing football, you have to connect with them!" Mourinho gave Zhang Yuan the task like this, but at the same time he also told Zhang Yuan that he also has a degree of freedom, but he must do it with C Don't want regions to overlap.

Doesn't overlap with Ronaldo? !Where would I go if I didn't overlap with him? !Zhang Yuan can't stop complaining, Ronaldo is a free agent, and his physical fitness is particularly good this dog day, especially when playing such an important game, it is estimated that he will frequently go to the middle in the frontcourt, which will inevitably squeeze Zhang Yuan's space.

Having said that, what Mourinho said was not to make Zhang Yuan complain like this. What Mourinho meant was that you adjust your running position according to the direction of Ronaldo. To put it bluntly, you have to revolve around Ronaldo. , Instead of running your own wishful thinking.

Complaints belong to complaints, he still understands what Mourinho means, forget it, it doesn't matter, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Mourinho's arrangement is not restricting Zhang Yuan's freedom. He just hopes that the three players in the frontcourt will not be crowded together, especially if they need to be spread out. He has studied Barcelona's tactics in detail.

Barcelona wants to achieve that level. In fact, their formation is relatively compact. Mourinho just wants to make full use of the width of the court and play wide open. Who knows if it will work. Only when the time comes Watch it on the pitch.

In the past few days, Mourinho has adopted a closed training method for training. Usually, Real Madrid's training sessions are open to the public, of course, for the sake of tactical secrecy.

After the training, everyone went back to the locker room to change clothes. Ronaldo suddenly jumped out and said that he would fulfill his previous promise and invite everyone to go out at night to have fun. This time he invited the whole team to travel together.

He is a famous iron rooster, he never invites his teammates to dinner, he is just as stingy as Zhang Yuan, today I don't know if it's because of his nerve, he actually offered to fulfill the bet.

His appeal is strong, and except for the injured players, everyone happily accepted his invitation.

At the dinner party in the evening, Ronaldo yelled "Kill Barcelona!" Well, Zhang Yuan and other teammates understood that Ronaldo's invitation to dinner was just to motivate and unite his teammates. He really wanted to win this game .

The league has played 32 rounds, and Real Madrid is eight points behind. Needless to say, the hope of winning the championship is very slim, but the battle between Ronaldo and Messi is now heating up. Messi has scored 29 goals in the league. Luo just happens to be one less than him.

Cristiano Ronaldo never scored a goal against Barcelona, ​​and Messi is obviously better than Ronaldo, scoring a lot of goals against Real Madrid.

Ronaldo not only wants Real Madrid to overthrow Barcelona, ​​but also wants him to overthrow Messi, but of course he can't do it alone in this game, so he just returned to Madrid and just resumed training. He couldn't wait to use the bet with Zhang Yuan as an excuse to gather morale by eating.

Well, this method seems to be common all over the world. At the dinner table, the Real Madrid players clamored that this time they would definitely not make Barcelona look good.

"Zhang Yuan, no accident, we will partner in the next game! I hope we have a happy cooperation!" Ronaldo said to Zhang Yuan with a smile.

"It will definitely be fun. If they don't win this time, they will be ashamed to see others!" Zhang Yuan also smiled, with a smile on his face, but he was very serious in his heart.

Barcelona has achieved 5 consecutive kills against Real Madrid. Real Madrid really won't win again. This face is really about to be lost. Their recent years against Barcelona can be said to be the worst stage in the history of the national derby. 5 consecutive kills are not enough. He said that being repeatedly humiliated by Barcelona's big score, the Real Madrid club, players, and fans were all ashamed.

The last time they lost 2:5, this time the players were very low-key, no one said anything openly, Zhang Yuan was ashamed to say it anyway, the other players were like him, and they were ashamed to say anything big.

In this way, Real Madrid's preparations were completed in a united, relaxed and positive atmosphere.

On the night of April 4th, the Bernabéu stadium turned into a sea of ​​white. Real Madrid fans turned it into a devil's home stadium, but this devil's home stadium is not for Barcelona. Barcelona players are not afraid of playing in the Bernabeu stadium.

They are smart and confident, showing the charm of passing and controlling football. They are now recognized as the most powerful team in the world, none of them.

Mourinho was waiting for Guardiola in the player tunnel, and extended his hand politely. Of course, Guardiola also extended his hand and shook Mourinho lightly, and then everyone separated immediately.

The personal relationship between them used to be very good, but they broke up because of Barcelona. Some fans may disagree, but the fact should be like this. Barcelona chose Guardiola instead of Mourinho.

A gentle handshake also represented a kind of relief. The public opinion battle in this game was far less intense than the previous round. Both coaches were relatively calm, but shaking hands did not mean peace.

Barcelona's players are also very calm. Puyol, who was predicted to be unable to play before the game, returned from injury in time, which gave Barcelona a considerable insurance. During Puyol's injury, Masche partnered with Pique as a central defender. Rano.

Mascherano only moved to Barcelona last summer. He spent a lot of money. Barcelona spent 2200 million euros to introduce him. Speaking of which, these big clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid are quite irregular in transfer operations.

Liverpool didn't want to let Mascherano go. The reason might be money, because Liverpool has nothing not for sale, but Mascherano really wanted to leave Anfield and join the Nou Camp. Maybe it was his agent or Barcelona. Suggestion Ye Hao, Mascherano refused to play for Liverpool.

This incident aroused the dissatisfaction of many of his teammates in Liverpool at the time. They refused to train with Mascherano on the same field. In the end, Liverpool and Barcelona each took a step back. In fact, it's pretty cheap.

But after Mascherano came to Barcelona, ​​he could only be said to be an important rotation member. Guardiola did not disregard him, but compared to Busquets, he obviously trusted Busquets more. Mascherano Up to now, he has only played about 20 times, and the number of starts is not many.
