I brush achievements in football

"Whenever it's difficult to face Real Madrid...Of course, we will try to get a better result at the Bernabeu."

After leading the team to Madrid, Ji Ya was quickly surrounded by local reporters in Madrid, but Ji Ya was very low-key and didn't say anything, "We defeated Atletico Madrid last season, and we will also defeat Real Madrid this season, so as to conquer The whole of Madrid" and so on, but a rather low-key expression of hope for a good result at the Bernabeu...

Mourinho didn't care too much about this. Although he knew that Southampton beat Barcelona last year, everyone was not familiar with Southampton at that time. Now Southampton has improved a lot, but the strong European teams have already touched it. Familiar with the Southampton situation.

They have a group of very good players, their tactics are perfect, and they have excellent form and desire to play. Most of them only have the top honor of winning the Europa League in Southampton, and lack the league title. , playing the Champions Cup for the first time...

They have desire, but also lack experience.

In such a group of death, the first game has to start well.

This is also the reason why Ji Ya rotated a large number of main players in the last round.

"Real Madrid's customary lineup is four-three-three, but their midfield running ability and confrontation ability are very good, which can be compared with our midfielder last season... But in terms of technology, our midfielder has a lot of strength. Some advantage, so we can hold the ball more, run and pass against their attack... Nathaniel, Marcelo is very good in assists, if you can suppress him in the attack, then we are in There will be a certain advantage on the side."

Klein nodded excitedly. For the 21-year-old, showing himself on a stage like the Bernabéu is simply a dream.

This is the attraction of the giants. Even if you don't want to go to the giants, you still hope to perform better against the giants.

Such thinking is normal.

"Both Ronaldo and Higuain have excellent scoring abilities, but I am more worried about Benzema. This guy has better ball handling and coordination skills. If Higuain is on the court, he must strengthen the defense in the penalty area. Be careful of him." If Benzema is on the field, Jose will deal with him in the penalty area, and Blaise will leave it to you outside the penalty area."

Wundt and Matuidi nodded at the same time.

"As for their right flank... Di Maria has excellent skills at his feet, he can break through and shoot, but he is not very fast. Daly, just hang around him. As for their right back, it should be Arbeloa. He is more versatile. , deal with it normally."

Ji Ya's arrangement for this game was quite detailed, but the players didn't have any opinions about it, after all, everyone attached great importance to this game.

This is the first time in Southampton's history that they played in the Champions League, and they encountered Real Madrid, which has won the most Champions Leagues in history.

Although Real Madrid has not been as strong as Barcelona in the Champions League in recent years, last season they suppressed Barcelona with 120 points and [-] four league goals and won the league championship, which also made Mourinho Became the first head coach in history to win the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A championships. Both Real Madrid and Mourinho himself seem to have reached a pinnacle.

At this time, Real Madrid seemed extremely strong. In the summer, they introduced Modric, loaned Essien from Chelsea, and continued to strengthen the midfield. Mourinho has always attached great importance to the midfield, but Modric Mourinho's men are not reused, he still prefers to use the midfielder combination of Alonso and Khedira.

Of course, compared with the current Modric, Alonso is more mature and comprehensive.

On the day the game started, there were no surprising adjustments in Southampton's starting lineup and Real Madrid's starting lineup.

Real Madrid sent a four-three-three formation at home, goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defenders Arbeloa, Varane, Pepe and Marcelo, Ramos was injured and unable to play, and teenager Varane started.

The combination of midfielder Alonso, Khedira and Essien can be called an impregnable fortress. If Essien is a bit old and the overdraft in the past few years makes his physical fitness not so good, such a midfielder can simply make people despair.

The striker is Di Maria on the right, Ronaldo on the left, and Higuain as the center.

Southampton is also a four-three-three lineup, goalkeeper Navas, defenders Klein, Otamendi, Fonte and Blind, midfielders Matuidi, Vidal and Mkhitaryan, forward Ronaldo , William, Benteke.

When shaking hands with Mourinho, Ji Ya didn't exchange any pleasantries. Although he won two UEFA Cups and two Super Cups in a row, the two Champions Cups and the three major leagues with Mourinho add up to five leagues. Compared with the results of the championship, it is still nothing.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a fierce competition in the midfield.

The midfielders of both sides are actually very capable of running. Needless to say, Real Madrid, Southampton's Matuidi and Vidal are both considered midfielders, and Mkhitaryan has also improved very well in the past few years of training. One's own running ability and confrontation ability. Under such circumstances, Southampton's running ability is not bad, and Real Madrid's technical content is also not weak.

This alone is enough to surprise many people-in the midfield competition, it is surprising enough that Southampton can not lose the wind when facing Real Madrid!

But on the wing, Klein was suppressed by Marcelo. Although Marcelo has always been a typical example of strong offense and weak defense, compared with Klein, he has more experience. Under mutual suppression, he relied on his own experience and technology to gain the upper hand, while Southampton also seemed to be at a disadvantage on both offense and defense.

Recently, Benteke, who is extremely beautiful, has encountered a nemesis-Mourinho specially arranged for Pepe to mark him. In terms of physical fitness, Pepe is not at a disadvantage at all, even whether it is speed or strength, they are faintly suppressed. Benteke.

The most proud place was controlled by Pepe, and Benteke lost his temper. He is strong in speed and strength, but in these two points, Pepe is also strong.

The center forward is the key to the offense. After he is suppressed, both William and Ronaldo lack the support link in the offense. The two of them can only rely on their own breakthroughs to create some opportunities.

Defensively, Southampton is also a bit deflated. The smoker is a pure shooter with erratic movements. Coupled with a nominal left winger who keeps cutting into the penalty area to grab points, Southampton's defense looks very strenuous.

Ji Ya frowned, it was not a good thing to be suppressed by the other party in such a way.
