Chapter 1121: Fight Dortmund again in the second round (Please subscribe!)

Real Madrid's schedule is tight.

Especially after entering the second half of the season, the overall adjustment of the competition preparation has become tense.

Whether it is the league or the Champions League, this requires the club to coordinate.

There is no such thing as giving up. Real Madrid will not give up a certain schedule in the multi-line battle. They disdain to do so.

This is also due to the solid bench foundation of Real Madrid. However, in the adjustment of each schedule, the proportion of the Champions League is larger.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid just defeated Dortmund away, which can be regarded as consolidating morale to a certain extent.

However, they also had some problems in this game, such as losing the ball first, which is an extension of a problem, which requires Real Madrid to make some small adjustments.

Ancelotti's adjustments in this regard are still more centered on the players, analyzing their mental state, and giving more encouragement.

For Ancelotti, he believes that Real Madrid's players no longer need to provide too much tactical and technical training, but only need to provide these stars with more emotional value.

In this way, the players' condition can be guaranteed and their performance will be more stable.

For this reason, after entering the second half of the season, Ancelotti has become more relaxed in supervision, and has added more interesting interactive games to daily training, so that the players can fully vent their pressure, which is more conducive to the next game.

In the league, Real Madrid is also making steady progress. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are competing fiercely, and Real Madrid is leading the two teams by about six points, so they are more stable.

After all, only by defeating the opponent can they begin to threaten Real Madrid.

However, now Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, these two teams seem to have no intention of caring about Real Madrid at all, and are staring at the second place in the standings and fighting each other.

As for the King's Cup, there is only one final to be played, and everything is developing steadily, not out of too much planning, so Ancelotti is relatively calm in his heart.

However, Ancelotti still has pressure.

His pressure comes from results!

No matter how Mourinho left Real Madrid, his achievements in Real Madrid cannot be erased.

Two Champions Leagues in three years, and they are still Champions Leagues.

Having such a predecessor is a great pressure for any successor.

Of course, Ancelotti does not ask for too much honor. After all, he is just starting out and he is also a pragmatic person.

For this season, Ancelotti is more inclined to the league or the Champions League!

It doesn't matter which of these two schedules wins the championship!

Winning the King's Cup is the icing on the cake!

If all three are won, Ancelotti will have the confidence to launch a more crazy transformation plan next season.

Of course, these are all assumptions. How to proceed specifically depends on the current development situation.

On April 9, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals will start.

The first game is still Manchester United's home game against Bayern Munich.

After losing in the last round, Manchester United plans to launch a Jedi counterattack at home.

Manchester United playing at home cannot be underestimated, but Bayern Munich's overall running-in is very good, and there are many tactical changes.

At 30 minutes, the two sides tied 1:1.

In the second half, Bayern Munich quickly made tactical changes. Robben came on as a substitute and became the killer of the game.

In the end, he completed an assist and a shot in the 71st and 79th minutes.

Ronaldo also scored two goals at Old Trafford.

In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United 3:1 away.

For Manchester United fans, they watched Ronaldo contribute to their own goal, and their hearts were full of helplessness.

This "little Ronaldo" who once gave them high hopes went far away for his dream, and when they met again, they were already opponents.

They felt very sad about this situation, but they couldn't say too much. Facing Ronaldo's final farewell, they could only applaud.

And the camera happened to capture Ferguson in the stands.

After retiring, Ferguson seemed much calmer. He also applauded with the fans. His face revealed a sense of helplessness, but more of a sense of relief.

His choice was not correct. He said that this child deserved a Golden Globe Award.

And Ronaldo did not disappoint his expectations. After joining Bayern Munich, he won the Golden Ball in just one season, proving his ability.

No matter how reluctant they were, there was a farewell after all.

Ronaldo and Bayern Munich still left this land. They returned to Germany and continued to prepare for the game.

In Spain, the Champions League is also being prepared in full swing.

Bayern Munich became the first team to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And the match between Real Madrid and Dortmund will feature the second Champions League semi-final team.

Based on the last round, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 3:1 away, which gave Real Madrid more room for trial and error.

Moreover, this is their home game, and for Dortmund, the possibility of their comeback has become more difficult.

However, Dortmund does not lack the fighting spirit to fight upward, and they are still full of fighting spirit.

On June 10th, the city of Madrid became extremely lively at night.

Entering April, the World Cup is getting closer and closer, and even ordinary people are beginning to pay attention to football in advance and prepare for this grand event.

During this period, the ratings of the Champions League have also increased, especially for the favorites such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid faced Dortmund. Based on their advantage in the first round, they had a relatively easy time.

This situation can be seen in the relaxed attitude of the fans.

Although the atmosphere of the game is still hot, the fans as a whole are filled with a relaxed mentality.

They believe that Dortmund cannot pose a threat to themselves. Even on the road, Real Madrid can make adjustments and complete a comeback when facing disadvantages.

Not to mention playing at home, there are only our own people in the stands at home.

The cheers in the stands were deafening. Even though the atmosphere of the Westfalen match was hot, the atmosphere at the Bernabeu was not bad either.

Under waves of cheers and shouts, the atmosphere at the scene gradually reached a climax.

The players from both sides completed the warm-up session in such an environment and returned to the locker room for final preparations.

"Based on the last game, we have made relative adjustments, but if you want to defeat Real Madrid, you will need to show stronger fighting spirit and hard work. If you cannot disrupt Real Madrid's game rhythm, it will be difficult for us to win. To win, you need to work harder than usual!”

Klopp's tone was very serious, and you can feel the importance he attaches to this game.

It’s a life and death fight!

Last season, they reached the Champions League final. After unfortunately finishing second, they planned to make a comeback this season.

However, due to the departure of many core players and various circumstances, their combat effectiveness has been diluted a lot, but it does not mean that they have no ability to fight.

Klopp firmly believes that with the right tactics, this Dortmund team also has the ability to overthrow Real Madrid.

"Hummels!" Klopp patted Hummels on the shoulder hard: "Suk will leave it to you!"

In the last game, Hummels defended Suker alone for half time. Although he lost the game, Hummels did become the focus of heated discussions and was touted by many as the best central defender today.

There is no way, after all, any defender is at a very disadvantageous situation when facing Su Ke.

Not to mention fighting against each other, maintaining a relationship is very difficult.

In this case, Hummels' single defense is extremely valuable.

It can be said that the last round of the game created Hummels and also made him the focus of the media.

Many people are looking forward to whether Hummels can defend Suker alone in this game like the previous game.

Hummels also feels confident about this.

To be honest, after playing the last game, he also felt that he had caught some tricks and could impose some restrictions on Suker.

"In today's game, you don't need to cooperate with others, you just need to play well on the left!"

Ancelotti patted Suker on the shoulder and said: "No one can stop you!"

Suk nodded, his expression still didn't change much.

He has also heard some remarks about Hummels defending himself alone, which brought a lot of traffic and popularity to Hummels. However, Ancelotti knew in his heart that the game was an away game and the tactics were more conservative, and he asked Suker to cooperate more with others, which resulted in Suker's role on the left wing not being so obvious.

In this game, he let Su Ke explode without reservation.

Every season, there will be all kinds of remarks about Su Ke. This is the treatment of top stars. Too many eyes are on him, and any performance gap will be magnified.

In this game, Ancelotti will remove all the shackles from Suker and let the world understand that Suker is still the problem of the century!

"This way! This way!"

In a corner of the Bernabeu stand, two men in rest suits found their place.

With his huge belly, Van Steyak took a big sip from a glass of beer in his hand, and then he couldn't help but exhale and said, "It's really difficult to squeeze into this stadium!"

As a wealthy club, Real Madrid has extremely complete facilities at the Bernabeu Stadium.

However, the entrance passage was a bit crowded, and his huge belly was squeezed in the crowd.

He felt that the entrance of Real Madrid could be made larger, so that it would appear to be a wealthy family.

"Didn't you bring any notes?" Besic turned to look at Van Styak and said.

Before every major competition, they both go around Europe to observe the status and performance of the national team members.

Video is video, but it cannot capture and reflect all performances.

Only by watching the game live can we feel the players' condition more three-dimensionally, so every time at this time, they will come to watch a game live.

Of course, they won't just watch Su Ke's scene, they also just came from London.

Facing Besic's question, Van Steyak pointed to his head and smiled: "I never take notes!"

Van Steyak has a habit of not taking notes, but this guy has a flexible mind and an excellent memory, and can keep a lot of things and data in his head.

Besic had learned about this before, so he didn't say much.

"In the match against Luka, Manchester United was still slightly inferior to Bayern Munich overall, especially in terms of the finishing touch, where Bayern was obviously better, and Luka's performance was also suppressed, and Manchester United could not give him much support in the midfield."

"Manchester United played too anxiously, they wanted to score, so they put the weight on the front line, but in the end the midfield could not deliver too many shells, resulting in the failure of the attack, but there was nothing to do, after all, their lineup was indeed a little thin."

After that, Besic turned his head and asked; "What do you think of this game?"

Van Styak took another sip of wine and waved his hand: "Real Madrid will win!"

He said with disdain: "Those media are too focused on gimmicks. I admit that Hummels performed well, but there is still a distance from completely restricting Suker. In that game, Suker obviously sacrificed some breakthroughs in order to cooperate with other roads. Once Suker played on the left wing with all his might, Hummels would find it difficult to withstand Suker's impact."

Besic also nodded secretly.

Although he did not speak, he also agreed with Van Styak's remarks.

In his opinion, it is too difficult to stop Suker, at least no defender has this ability at present.

It is difficult to limit Suker even with help defense, let alone single defense.

He doesn't know what the top defenders of the last era will do, but at least no one can do it now.

As for the comparison with the last era, there is no possibility of horizontal comparison, so Suker still becomes the century-old problem.

At this time, the players of both sides walked out of the player tunnel, and the cheers on the scene suddenly became hot.

Besic tapped the notebook with the pen cap in his right hand, stared at Suker's figure, and said slowly: "Let's see how Suker performs."

Suker is the absolute core of Croatia.

Suker's performance also represents the upper limit of Croatia.

It can be said that whether Croatia can show its strength in this World Cup depends largely on Suker's state.

For this reason, the inspection of Suker will be the top priority.

Suker appeared in Real Madrid's No. 9 jersey, and when Suker's figure appeared on the big screen, the sound of shouting Suker was heard.

The waves of cheers seemed to lift the roof off.

"This is crazy!"

Van Styak couldn't help but grin. Although it was not the first time, he was still shocked to see this scene.

The starting lineups of the two teams are as follows:

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Kaka, Casemiro, Kroos.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

Dortmund (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Friedrich, Durm.

Midfielders: Jojic, Mkhitaryan, Kirsch.

Forwards: Grosskreutz, Aubameyang, Reus.

"Compared to Real Madrid, Dortmund has more changes in the lineup."

"Jojic and Kirch replaced Kyle and Sahin in the last game."

"At the center back position, Friedrich also got a chance to start."

"These players had outstanding performances in the last Bundesliga game and helped the team win, and Klopp also chose to trust players in better form in such a crucial event."

"There are not many lineup changes in Real Madrid. Srna has not started this season. Perhaps this is related to his delay in renewing his contract. Kaka has already confirmed his departure, but Real Madrid cannot find a better replacement for the time being. However, Kroos's performance is very stable, which is good news."

"Of course, Real Madrid's forward line is still their trump card, and Suker is their trump card!"

The pre-match introduction is over, and the players of both sides have arrived at their respective half.

Suker still maintains his jumping warm-up movements.

But for some reason, for Dortmund players, today's game pressure is greater than before.

Maybe it's a psychological reason!

They can only think so, and they can't be timid in the game.

Dortmund kicked off first, and Real Madrid was ready to attack.

According to Ancelotti, they have to play more actively in this game.

This means that Real Madrid will press high, use this method to disrupt the rhythm, and then slowly operate when they have the ball.

This is also one of the main tactics of Real Madrid in the future.

Today's football tactics pay more attention to fast-paced play, and each team is attacking the other's formation without giving too much preparation time.

As before, the situation where one side gets the ball and waits for it to be ready before attacking no longer exists.

Once the ball is changed, the side that loses the ball will counter-grab on the spot, emphasizing a rhythm point that never gives the other side a chance to breathe.

For this reason, how to pass the ball well in a fast rhythm, and even configure the offense, is very important.

Of course, the average running distance of the players has also increased a lot for this.

Compared with the way Suker played when he first entered the top five leagues, many players who were lazy and had poor physical fitness would be eliminated by this problem.

No matter how spiritual or technical you are.

If he cannot meet the basic physical conditions, he will be eliminated.

‘Running’ is the key point throughout the entire mainstream tactical system, and the ability to run has become a key attribute for evaluating a player.

Real Madrid will also absorb these mainstream tactics, but at the same time Ancelotti’s retro heart is also restless.

If there is anyone who likes this kind of classic attacking midfielder style in this era when the classic attacking midfielder is gradually eliminated, it is only Ancelotti.

It can be said that Ancelotti used the attacking midfielder position until the last moment, and when it was really difficult to maintain, he took the initiative to abandon this position.

Whenever possible, he still likes players with this kind of characteristics.
