[football] walk side by side

For a long time, what Mourinho cares about is not actually the defense that Real Madrid often presses forward. To be more precise, the reason why he cares is because Ramos, as a full-back, is not very good at the moment. He has a good grasp of the balance between staying behind and pressing forward, and he is not mature enough to judge the timing of going forward.

Perhaps in a normal league, the timely replacement of teammates can minimize the damage caused by such mistakes, but what if it is against an equally good team?

It is certainly not an easy task for an ordinary midfielder to find out and instantly fill in the space behind Ramos exposed after he advanced forward.However, the problem is that Real Madrid's opponents have never been teams of average strength!

Leaving aside, let's talk about Barcelona next door, there is absolutely no shortage of midfielders of this level.

"It seems that Ramos will be given more practice in this area in the future." Mourinho nodded secretly.

As the saying goes, if you can't do it, practice it.In the usual confrontation training in the future, there is no need to restrict Ramos' forward penetration.Since he likes to attack, he practiced more with Cyril in the multi-resistance match, and it was considered as a practice in advance for the future Barcelona game.

At the end of this training match, most of the players expressed their satisfaction: Cristiano, who had no back to grab the cake, said that today was really a wonderful day. Alonso found that he and Cyril had a good run-in in the midfield. Successfully, Casillas found that Ramos, who usually played in the frontcourt, seemed to be restrained this time, and Mourinho achieved his goal of grouping...

Except for Ramos himself who was very resentful, the players who finished training were generally in a good mood.

After this training match, Cyril's performance actually did not surprise them.After all, Real Madrid just played against Cyril's Chelsea last season, and they already have a general understanding of Cyril's strength, but now when they are really on the same team with him, they feel clearer.

Fighting as an opponent and fighting as a teammate are of course two different things.

On the yellow team, there were more exclamations such as "Slade really deserves his reputation", while on the blue team, as a teammate, Cristiano has always cooperated with Cyril in the national team, but it was nothing. It feels like Alonso, who is working with Cyril for the first time, is even more impressed.

In normal practice matches, what attracted Alonso's attention the most was not Cyril's extraordinary ability, but his overall view and organizational awareness. When there was a stalemate on the field, Cyril's method of breaking the game was diversity of.No matter how the yellow team changes, he can think of a solution in the shortest possible time and put it into action.

For Real Madrid, which lacks control in the midfield, such a player is undoubtedly the best new aid.

Needless to say, Real Madrid's frontcourt, Cristiano, Benzema, Higuain, and even Kaka are all good players on the offensive line. Cyril and Alonso on the double midfielder can attack, organize and defend There is no doubt about the defensive ability of the four defenders in the backcourt without pressing forward at will.

Relatively speaking, the current training game actually has many limitations: for example, Mourinho did not arrange tactics for either of the two sides, but did not leave an organizing midfielder for the yellow team. Alonso is assigned to the yellow team, or the yellow team has Mourinho in command, then the situation will definitely be very different.

So when this tournament officially starts, how strong will a team with such a reasonable lineup of players and Mourinho's personal command be?

Alonso suddenly looked forward to the arrival of the new season.

After the training, Mourinho did not give any additional explanation to the players about the two training games. When all the players stood up in front of him one after another, the Real Madrid coach was obviously in a bad mood and announced another matter. Things the players have already heard:

"One thing, I believe you have already got the news." Mourinho said reluctantly: "On the 1st of next month, that is, on August 8st, we will leave for China to compete with two Chinese football teams. The team will play two friendly matches and will probably stay in China for about seven days."

"Because it's just two friendly games, I think you can treat it as a group trip. The friendly games are not the focus. The most important thing is that the 2011/2012 La Liga season will start on August 8. The time is After 23 days of this trip to China, I hope you will not be affected by these two insignificant games.”

After briefly introducing the matters of the 2011 China trip, Mourinho announced the full end of today's training.

Real Madrid players have heard about this business trip for a long time, and it is not surprising that Mourinho mentions it again at this time.As for Mourinho's upset mood, it's not difficult to understand. The new season is just around the corner, but the team still has to go to Asia, consuming energy and stamina for two commercial games, and the opponents are still two teams that can't make any preparations at all. It is no wonder that Mourinho is not annoyed by the team that plays an important role.

After Mourinho announced the matter, he left the stadium with the coaching staff. For today's training, he and the coaching staff still have some problems to deal with.

Originally, according to the past, Cyril and Cristiano should stay for training at this time.But today's training ended much later than before, and the sky was almost getting dark. The two of them didn't stay any longer, and soon the entire stadium was gone.

"Sir, you seem very unhappy." On the way back, Cristiano recalled the ugly expression on Mourinho's face before he left, and he still had some lingering fears at the moment, "I don't know, our opponent at that time is who."

Cristiano is just a declarative sentence. If you really want to say that he is interested in his opponent... that is not true. After all, Mourinho has already said that their opponents are two Chinese clubs. There also seemed to be little to look forward to in the two friendlies.

"I remember, it seems to be... Guangzhou Evergrande, and there is another one that seems to be called... Tianjin Teda?" Cyril recalled.Although he is considered half Chinese, he really doesn't know much about the Chinese Super League team, and he can only call out two names at the moment.

Different from previous trips to China, this time Real Madrid did not go to Beijing, but went to Guangzhou and Tianjin respectively to play friendly matches with two relatively outstanding Chinese Super League teams.

Although this "excellence" can only be placed among Asian teams.

"Light, light, optical axis? Timing?" Cristiano repeated the name after him, but found that those awkward Chinese pronunciations couldn't be spoken normally, so he simply gave up and directly changed the topic to his own. The focus of attention: "Are these two places fun?"

"I think it should be pretty good," Cyril said uncertainly. Since he was a child, he has rarely returned to China. The most recent time was in 2008. At that time, he also went to Sichuan, and his knowledge of Guangzhou and Tianjin was very limited. .

……

On August 2011, 8, Guangzhou Airport was crowded with people.

In recent years, Hollywood is not the only one who has noticed the Asian market. Many European teams and NBA teams have begun to consciously turn their attention to the East—after all, no one will compete with the Asian market. Money can't get by.

From the perspective of the whole world, or Europe, there must not be too many Real Madrid fans who pay attention to this Real Madrid China tour.If the opponent of the friendly match is a strong team of the same level, then maybe fans in other regions will have some interest in it, but the problem is that this time, Real Madrid's opponent is Guangzhou Evergrande and Tianjin Teda, two Chinese Super League teams.

As a result, in addition to the media in the entire Asian region who are full of expectations for this planned China trip, regions outside Asia have shown little interest in these two friendly matches. Competing with one's own opponents can only be called a waste of time.

In contrast to this, many football media from Asian countries including China are very interested in this, and many football media from South Korea and Asia came here specially to catch up with this China trip.

… No, not just the media.

Aya turned her head slightly, and looked at the fans who were holding flags, posters and other iconic objects at the airport. At a glance, they were all white. The difference was that, except for some locals, and those who came to Guangzhou specially In addition to the fans, you can clearly see some Korean and Japanese faces.

It's hot just looking at it.

It has to be said that for the Real Madrid people who came from afar, this is actually not a suitable time to travel to China, especially the location of this trip is Guangzhou-Guangzhou in August is almost the hottest time of the year here.Presumably even if the Real Madrid players got off the plane, they wouldn't stay at the airport for long, right?

Just when she was aimlessly distracted, the noisy airport suddenly exploded like boiling water, screaming, shouting, and flashing lights filled the entire hall:

"Hala Madrid!"

“啊啊啊啊啊啊！！C罗C罗C罗！！看这里看这里！第一次距离真人这么近啊啊啊啊！！！求签名！求合影！！”

"Cyril, Cyril, Cyril! It feels like my eyes are dazzled, did he just smile at this side? Seeing a real person at a close distance makes it look better, no, I'm going to explode in place!!! "

"Kaka look here!" "Mourinho begging for a laugh!!"

As the Real Madrid players appeared in front of them one by one, the fans who had been waiting for a long time immediately ran towards the players. Squeezed past, the scene is also orderly, Real Madrid players are also familiar with this.

Cheerful immediately waved enthusiastically to the fans, showing a smile that couldn't be brighter.The reticent expression was slightly stiff, but he still tried his best to show a shy smile.Smelly face——The Real Madrid coach barely showed a smiley expression, and nodded towards the crowded place, which was regarded as a greeting.
