white tour

Before the national derby, the first thing that Real Madrid will do is the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, because the lead of seven goals in the first round is too big, so this game is very important for the opponent Leonesa It's like a one-night trip to the Bernabéu.

Antonio only came off the bench for half an hour, and announced his return with one goal and two assists.

"He looked like he never left the field!"

"The happiest person should be Zidane, right? Even if Bale needs to leave Real Madrid for two or even three months, Rodrigue's comeback can easily plug this loophole."

"But Rodrigo and Bale are two completely different types of players. Can Real Madrid still have an advantage if they change the lineup hastily to play against Barcelona?"

……

At first he played as a right winger, but later he took the initiative to play as a left winger for the opportunity to play, and now he is back to the right winger position... Antonio’s mood was a bit complicated, but he soon stopped worrying about these things, and focused on staring at the last Zidane ahead and a tactical board full of stuff.

Tactics classes have always been boring, even Ronaldo, who can always keep his focus on football, sometimes gets distracted, but this time, everyone can concentrate because the opponent they are about to face, Barcelona, ​​deserves their attention.

From the very beginning of this season, Real Madrid has been at the top of the standings, and they are holding down their arch-enemy Barcelona.Now, Real Madrid has opened up a six-point gap with its direct competitors.However, Real Madrid's advantages in terms of state and overall running-in have been wiped out with Kroos' absence, Bale's injury and Barcelona's Iniesta's comeback.

Real Madrid is experiencing a wave of injuries, but Barcelona's injury wave has already begun as early as the beginning of the season. They injured 17 players in 15 games.During this period, Barcelona not only lost four points in a row to Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad, but also lost to Celta Vigo and Alaves, who are in the middle of the standings.

The Cosmos team with an aging lineup is gradually losing its dominance on the court. The most impressive thing is their dilemma when they fight against teams such as Manchester City, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo.Barcelona, ​​which gathered the legendary "Top Ten Midfielders" this summer, the integration of new aid is very mediocre, and even Messi has to try to retreat to strengthen the midfielder.

The spoilers that have emerged so far this season are enough to prove that the competitiveness of La Liga is continuing to rise.If Barcelona, ​​which has lost successively in the strong dialogue, does not want to hand over the league title to Real Madrid, then they had better keep the points gap between the two sides within one win before the start of the winter break, so Barcelona is eager to win at the Nou Camp a victory.

And Real Madrid is also eager!

Since the Guardiola era, Real Madrid has rarely been able to appear in the national derby as a strong side.However, this time, not only did they lead in points, their competitive state was better, and their mentality was more relaxed.But relaxation does not mean that they don't care about this game. On the contrary, the national derby will always be a game that can stimulate the players' full potential without pre-match mobilization.

This is a showdown of a comet hitting the earth!It's a big enough stage!

"Barcelona, ​​like Atletico Madrid, are both good at pressing in high positions, and they are also accustomed to relying on partial accumulation of troops to complete penetration in positional attacks. Atletico Madrid, we have just played against each other, and the result is 3-0!" Zida Nei laughed, and the players who listened carefully also laughed, "So we basically follow the tactics of the Madrid derby, relying on the technical advantage of having a strong point in the midfield, to achieve rapid transfer from point to area, and then strive to participate in high positions. The pressing Barcelona central and frontcourt players failed to get in place in time and hit the ball to their backcourt and sideways. Divide the side! Cross! Give full play to our frontcourt speed advantage to win the one-on-one contest. "

"We want to bring the game into our rhythm. Since our individual ability can shine in the audience, let Barcelona have a good experience! But now Barcelona, ​​maybe even teamwork is not as good as us !"

"I'll put my best attacking players on and I'll take the lead in the first half. Bale's pace is what most feared by Barça's defense, but he's injured now, but I'm sure the rest of you can do it too !"

Antonio, who met Zidane's eyes, did not dodge. His back was straight, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were full of tenacity.

"We played an asymmetrical 4-2-3-1. Cristiano, I know you have become a jewel in the technical midfield tower, a bastion in the penalty area, but this time, we need sacrifices from you Go back to the left lane. Then use your personal ability to look for opportunities to attack Barcelona's weaker right gate."

This is indeed a sacrifice. Compared with center forward Ronaldo, left forward Ronaldo can complete small-scale passing and receiving tasks, but it cannot be used as a burst point to tear apart the opponent's defense.His retreat is to attract the opponent's defensive attention, and it is also to create space for his teammates after cutting inside.

"I see, no problem!" Ronaldo nodded in agreement.

When he was unable to complete the goal for a long time before, Ronaldo seemed a little impatient, and even had the wrong mentality of getting a kick when he seized the opportunity.But now that his form has been recovered, and the upcoming game is one of the few games he is most looking forward to throughout the season, there is no problem with sacrificing himself.

"If Barcelona gathers heavy troops and continues to attack, the three midfielders are responsible for completely blocking the central channel, while the wide players, the central defender on the side with the ball and the central midfielder form a group of four to close the space on the wing. If Barcelona collapses in the backcourt When using a more in-depth formation, we can quickly press forward to seize the ball, and then launch a fast attack on the spot. This is the most important step in completing the speed-up. That is to say, in addition to goalkeepers and defenders All six of them are attacking players. Sorry Carlos, you also need to make sacrifices, you will not have your name in the starting lineup."

"It's okay, I just recovered from my injury, and the team's defense is not very safe if I start." Although he felt uncomfortable, Casemiro did not feel dissatisfied with Zidane, because he knew that such an arrangement would be harmful to the team. would be better.

"Attacking players as engineers in midfield means that our one-on-one defense is limited, and the wrong defensive habit of preferring to go up is easy to be fooled. We may not be able to stop MSN, especially Messi. So at the beginning of the game, don't rush to oppress Barcelona's defense, but use Luca as the center of gravity of the formation and fix it near the arc of the middle circle. Busquets, Barcelona's control nerve center, is our goal, surround him, and then block them. The way forward!"

"Luka, your task is very heavy. In this game, you will act as a defensive midfielder, responsible for defense and launch a fast attack at the first time. The double screen pattern of the inverted pyramid position in the center is in Barcelona against Manchester City and Sevilla. It appeared many times in the game, which is not only an effective means to protect Busquets, but also a supporting tactic for Messi's centralization."

"If Messi continues to drop into the midfield in this game, then once Busquets finishes one-on-one and sends a through ball through the midfield, Messi can directly face our defenders. That's Messi. , The narrow gap between our double midfielders and the back line is enough for him to complete a series of actions such as catching the ball, turning around, and accelerating. Therefore, whether Luka, Mateo, and the defenders can predict the danger in advance and form a response in time is the key to completing the center. The key to defense. Mateo’s experience is not enough, Luca, you need to help him more.”

Playing double midfielder in El Clasico with idol Modric?Just thinking about it like this made Kovacic's breathing suddenly quicken.

"Although Enrique fixed Messi in the middle, it was good for MSN to form an echo, but they also had to weaken their right attack. Suarez has not been in a good state recently, and he has rarely pulled to the right to fill Messi. As a result, Barcelona's right wing is often unmanned on the offensive end. We can just take advantage of this, Marcelo, Isco and Cristiano, you need to cooperate more on the left Of course, this is only the greatest possibility reached by the coaching staff after discussion, maybe Enrique will suddenly change his tactics, and you need to deal with it yourself first.”

"Antonio, you have Iniesta on the side you are comparing with, but he is not strong enough to play the whole game, so you just have to last for a while. I don't know if Enrique will start Iniesta. It is still a substitute, but I think the possibility of a substitute is relatively high. The lesson of the game against Manchester City is imminent. He needs to keep Iniesta's pocket'. If Barcelona arranges Andre Gomez, who is more physical, to start , you need to fight him physically.” Zidane didn’t ask if it could be done, but his requirement was that it must be done, because these were the only players he could use.

"Okay." Whether it is Iniesta, who is experienced and capable, or Andre Gomez, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 84 kilograms, is difficult to deal with. Antonio can imagine what kind of difficulties he will face, especially It is when he does not have the absolute speed of Bell.

But there was no fear, no trepidation in his heart, and even some excitement.In the first half of the year, Sevilla was completely overwhelmed by Barcelona. The goal he scored to save face was based on a set kick. Even his teammates had long lost their desire to attack, and they were slowly fading away in the backcourt. time.

Antonio was very unhappy about the sense of despair facing the entire Barcelona team alone. He hated his teammates who gave up easily, and wanted to ask if they had any feelings for the dozens of Sevilla fans who followed Barcelona. guilt.But he still didn't say anything in the end because he didn't have any voice in the locker room.

He just ran alone, carried alone, and failed alone.

But now it is completely different. Real Madrid has the possibility of defeating Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid will not allow the team to admit defeat easily.
