pure white glory

The time of vacation always flies very fast, one day has passed in the blink of an eye, Yuntian and Ronaldo have to return to the normal training of the team, although for these two training freaks, returning to training is really unnecessary" have to" words.

Of course, there is another piece of good news in the Real Madrid team - after the team doctor's diagnosis, it was confirmed that Kaka's injury had healed, and he was approved to return to normal training and competition.

This news made Mourinho feel a lot better-after Kaka came back, his tactical board will be more complete. Wherever the ball is passed to, there will be a threatening shot. Kaka's speed and shooting are quite good.

Of course, Mourinho would not hastily change Yuntian to play right back if it is not confirmed that Kaka's injury is not serious, it is precisely because the technical characteristics of the two overlap too much and they are crowded in the front The position of the waist is a little cumbersome, so he moved this thought.As for Özil, he is quite optimistic about this German teenager. The opponent has amazing talent in handling the last pass, but his speed and physical confrontation are always his shortcomings. Moreover, in terms of strength, this teenager and Kaka There is still a considerable distance. After all, Kaka in his heyday was a character who could control the entire game by himself.

There are Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema in the frontcourt, plus Higuain and Di Maria. No matter who they are, their speed is not slow, their footwork is not bad, and their offensive speed and threat are enough. Any team in the altar drank a pot.

He doesn't worry about Real Madrid's offensive power. It depends on whether they can defend defensively... Judging from the last game, Ramos' temper is still too hot and not calm enough. As for Yuntian, on the right The position of defender is still a little tender.

Tomorrow is the home game against the Espanyol. It is the best thing to run in the players under the premise of ensuring victory. Mourinho observes and analyzes the situation on the field, and writes in the small notebook he carries with him from time to time. Written something, until the training was temporarily high, and Yun Tian, ​​who was training on the field, waved, shouted to his side and whispered.

Espanyol Football Club, although the club's best record in history is only the third in La Liga, its history is much longer than Real Madrid - it was founded in 1900 and was awarded by King Alfonso VIII of Spain in 1912 Royal Title, located in the Barcelona area, is a football club that has been playing in La Liga for a long time.His position in La Liga is also very important-he was established by a young Spanish student to fight against foreign clubs like Barcelona, ​​​​the first team established by the Spaniard.

But in terms of strength, there is nothing particularly outstanding about this club. If there is anything special about this club, it is that this club is a football club that pays special attention to youth training and focuses on using youth training players. The tradition is also their pride.

Of course, on the other hand, their economic situation also makes them have to reuse youth training players. This is just a typical small and medium-sized football club-their highest transfer expenditure is only 600 million euros, and the highest transfer income Also only 1500W euros.In contrast, for a club like Real Madrid, 1500 million euros can only be said to buy a rookie with good potential, or a good substitute-just like Ozil this season.

Before the start of the game, the Spaniard’s captain, Luis Garcia, was warming up with his teammates. From the corner of his eye, he looked at this field, which is no longer an unfamiliar one. Not to mention other cups, besides, in 06, on this land, he scored twice, leading the team to beat Zaragoza and win the Copa del Rey.

Now Luis Garcia's mood is a bit complicated, because this is very likely to be his last game in this stadium.

He is 30 years old this year, which is really not a young age for a football player. He can clearly feel the decline in his physical fitness. Before he got the ball, he could go straight into the penalty area without hesitation. , but now he is unable to do what he wants, so this season is likely to be his last.

As a player born in Castilla, he has never played for the first team of Real Madrid. The Bernabeu used to be a holy place in his mind, but every time he stands here, he can only be the opponent of the Bernabeu, not even the opponent .

For almost every child who grew up in Castilla, the Bernabeu is a sacred dream, but for the vast majority of Castilian children, the Bernabeu is just a dream.

When he left Castilla, he also dreamed that one day he could impress Real Madrid with his own strength and let Real Madrid bring him back to the Bernabeu. When he reached his peak in the Spaniard, this idea lingered in his mind day and night, but Obviously, for Real Madrid, he is far from good enough.And now, he's about to retire...

Forget it, what are you thinking about doing so much mess, he has done well enough, at least he can still play in La Liga, and even if he is as good as Hierro Raul, he can't retire at the Bernabeu?

He has done everything he should do, and he can't decide the rest. As a professional player, he only needs to play well in every game in front of him.Louis collected himself and turned his attention back to the warm-up.

Before the start, the referee called the captains of both sides to his side, and Casey and Louis shook hands friendly: "It's not too long, Igor," Louis smiled and joked, "After all, we have at least Meet twice."

Cassie also smiled, with nostalgia in his eyes: "Let's go out and have a drink together after this game. It's been years since we got together."

Louis nodded, and was interrupted by the referee before he could speak: "Excuse me, have you communicated? The game time is up."

The captains of both sides froze for a moment, and nodded to express their understanding. The referee looked at the captains of both sides again and tossed a coin. Louis guessed correctly and chose the ball.

Since this game is being played at the Bernabéu, Real Madrid's home court, and the opponent is a team like the Spaniard, even if Mourinho disdains the so-called artistic football, he must not play a defensive counterattack, otherwise even if Florentino has given He promised he too would be ousted by the Real Madrid fans.

The Spaniards are also very self-aware, knowing that playing against Real Madrid at Real Madrid's home court is courting death, so they retracted their formation very tightly from the beginning and played defensive counterattacks. When the players are basically retracted within the 32-meter area, no matter how bad the defense is, it becomes very good-looking around, the places that are threatening to the Espanyol are basically full of opposing players. Speaking of shooting, it is difficult to find space even for passing the ball. It is even more nonsense to try to dribble past others. The Iron Barrel Array also had to suffer from a headache.

How to break the iron barrel formation has always been a big problem in world football, but the most common method is to try more long-range shots. If the long-range shots can pose a threat, the opponent has to follow up to defend, and once the defense line moves forward, The Tietong Formation is naturally not as strong as it used to be.

As early as before the game, Mourinho predicted that the Spaniard would not be able to play very openly at the Bernabeu, so he issued a pass for the long-range shots of the players from the beginning, telling them that if they are not sure to penetrate into the hinterland of the Spaniard, they are allowed They shot from long distances and Real Madrid's players executed that well.

However, one side is defending and the other is constantly masturbating. It is doomed that this game will not go anywhere. Even the voice of Freire, who has always been very passionate, is quite weak: "The form on the field has reached a deadlock. It seems that Spain People are determined to take away a 0:0 draw at the Bernabeu, and put up an airtight iron barrel formation. It has been 20 minutes since the opening, and I haven't seen the Espanyol team once. The shots, let alone the shots, even the number of times their players have crossed the midfield line is very small. Real Madrid is constantly trying to break the opponent's shell with long shots. So far, there have been a full 13 times Of the shots, 8 of them were anti-aircraft guns, and 5 of them were blocked by the dense crowd in the Spaniard's penalty area." Freire flipped through the information handed over by the assistant, pouted.

Abel looked at his dissatisfied partner, and took over the conversation: "But this game is not completely unspectacular. Kaka, who had to stay away from the game for a month due to injury, started this game. From now on Judging from the current situation, Kaka is recovering well, at least there is no major problem with his performance on the field, and his long-range shots are quite powerful, it seems that Real Madrid fans don’t have to worry about Kaka’s injury.”

"Besides, another change in this game is Yuntian," Abel analyzed rationally, "Strictly speaking, it's not a big change. Philo played as a right back in this game—— After a game, it's not a surprise anymore, the strange thing is that in this game, we hardly saw Filo go forward, which is a very unusual thing, you know, Filo Luo is a player who turned from the front midfielder to play right back. Mourinho let him play right back to a large extent because his offensive ability can make the team's counterattack faster and sharper, but here In the first game, Philo seemed to be a classic defender, only defending but not attacking. Of course, because of the Espanyol's strategic defense, we haven't seen Filo's defense much, but in the opening 20 minutes we hardly saw him. We saw Philo cross the half-time line. It made us wonder if Mourinho had something to say to the youngster before the game."

Sitting on the sidelines, Mourinho frowned slightly as he watched the stalemate on the field. The Real Madrid team did not lack long-range and sharp shooters, but today they couldn't find the foot feel, and the shots were not threatening. However, it also has something to do with the Spaniard's willingness to put down his posture and come back to defend and constantly harass Real Madrid's frontcourt personnel. Now the Spaniard's defense line has not moved forward, but Real Madrid's front line has moved forward. Pei and Yuntian, Real Madrid's backcourt is almost blank.

However, although he expected before the game that the Spaniards would stick to it, he did not expect that they would stick to this level. According to the Spaniard's style of play, it would be a waste to keep two players in the backcourt.But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if the Spaniard is allowed to cheat and take the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack to steal a ball, it is better to stalemate like this. Now it depends on who can consume more. The former head coach gave the order to die, but as time passed, the score remained at 2:0. As long as they still have a little desire to win, they will definitely be anxious. Once the opponent is anxious, Real Madrid The opportunity has come.In addition, this kind of iron barrel formation is also very energy-consuming. Even if it is 0:80 in the first 0 minutes, as long as the Spaniard shows timidity and fatigue in the last 0 minutes, the attack power of this Real Madrid can be enough. Break through the opponent's goal in one fell swoop.

The Spaniard coach sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team is far less relaxed than Mourinho. After all, Real Madrid is taking the initiative now. Although the Spaniard has put up an iron bucket formation, which can be called airtight, he is still passive after all Position, in case a superstar from Real Madrid makes a fortune, the Spaniard's defense will fall short. In the end, he might have to press out to fight Real Madrid. After all, losing one goal is 0 points, and losing 10 goals is also 0 points.

In particular, the home atmosphere of the Bernabéu is not covered. Every time the Espanyol player clears the ball with his big foot, there will be loud boos on the scene, and even some fans can be heard yelling: "Coward, go back to Barcelona!" Rona go!" He sneered, if he had a card like Real Madrid in his hand, even if he had half of Real Madrid's cards, he would dare to fight against Real Madrid, but the combined value of his whole team is not as high as Real Madrid There are so many superstars, let him press out to fight Real Madrid?Isn't this a proper way to seek death?

After all, the average age of the Espanyol team is still a bit young. Whether it can survive in such an environment is still unknown. Football is a thing that affects the whole body. As long as one person makes a major mistake, the rest will behave. No matter how good it is.

However, they have mentality as well as Real Madrid. Superstars also have disadvantages of superstars-for example, most superstars are more or less arrogant. When facing a small team that cannot attack for a long time, it is inevitable that their mentality will become unbalanced. For the Spaniards, a 0-0 draw is absolutely acceptable, but for Real Madrid, it is undoubtedly a humiliation for them to accept such a draw.

Let's see at the end, who can consume whom.Thinking of this, the Spaniard's coach settled down and focused on the game on the field.

Another 10 minutes passed, and Mourinho's brows became more and more tight. The Real Madrid players obviously didn't wear shooting boots today, and their long-range shots were quite unreliable. Few of their kicks finally landed within the range of the goal frame. Yes, Real Madrid's morale will have problems sooner or later if it continues like this. Since the long-range shot is not good, there is no other way to do it—Mourinho thought about it, wrote a few words in a small notebook and then neatly He tore off the piece of paper, took a chance of a dead ball, walked to the side of Marcelo who was about to kick in and stuffed it into his hand, and explained a few more words briefly.

Yuntian was a little surprised when he received the news from Marcelo—Mourinho asked Marcelo to tell him to go forward boldly and to respond from the side. This was completely opposite to what Mourinho had arranged before the game. , Mourinho told him before the game that because he was still quite immature in the position of right back, he could not grasp the timing of going forward and the moment of returning to defense, so he should never leave his position and go forward and attack easily. His offense may not be impossible to score based on Real Madrid's offensive power in the frontcourt, but if there are few people in the back defense, they are likely to be scored by the opponent.

It seems that Mourinho is determined to resolve this deadlock before the end of the first half, but it's okay, he is tired of standing in the backcourt and watching others fight hard, Yun Tian raised his lips.

It happened that a big-footed clearance ball landed not far in front of him, Yun Tian quickly stepped forward to unload the ball and knocked it to Xavi Alonso who came back from the midfielder, but he didn't stop like before Instead, he actively followed up.

The opponent was obviously a bit caught off guard by Yuntian's sudden attack. The zone defense that had been arranged in the previous game was suddenly disrupted by Yuntian, an extra person. The formation was no longer as stable as it was seen before. It is what Yun Tian and other Real Madrid players are willing to see, and what they have to do is to take advantage of the chaos of the Spaniard to make the muddy water even more muddy, and must not let the Spaniard adjust back before being scored, otherwise they It is even more difficult to score goals.

Kaka's breakthrough line was blocked, and he knocked the football to Yuntian. Yuntian took the football out and made a pass from the bottom. The Spaniard's left back hesitated for a moment, and followed Yuntian to leave his position, trying to block Yuntian But this is exactly what Yuntian wanted, he accelerated suddenly and tried to overtake from the right side, the Spaniard's left back hurriedly followed, but Yuntian came to an emergency stop, and then the arch of his right foot lightly landed on the Flip the football, the football rolls obediently to the left, Yuntian throws the ball out again, the Spaniard's left back has lost his center of gravity, and he can't keep up with Yuntian's movements if he tries to adjust, so he can only watch Yuntian take the ball out. The ball left, gritted his teeth and followed up.

However, according to the degree of defense of the Spaniards, the left back that was passed could not be their last line of defense. Yuntian soon welcomed the interception of the midfielder who came to support the Spaniard. This midfielder is not like the previous left. Wei is so reckless, he doesn't easily kick or even follow Yuntian, he stands firmly in his position, cuts off the route of Yuntian's incision or passing, and tries to force Yuntian out of the baseline.

He almost did it. Yun Tian wanted to turn around but couldn't find a chance. Once he turned around, he might be spotted by the opponent to steal the ball. He wanted to pass the ball, but he was now very close to the baseline on the wing and couldn't see Real Madrid at all. So he could only frown and was forced to the bottom line unwillingly, knowing that if the attack failed this time, after the Spaniard's players adjusted, it would be even more difficult to score again next time. Thinking about it, Yun Tian gritted his teeth, stepped on the football and flicked to the left, the next moment he was forced out of the bottom line.

But the football rolled over from the back of the Spaniard, and rolled to the feet of Ronaldo who came to meet him without any haste. Obviously the Spaniard's players were more shocked than him, so he grabbed the ball and cut inside decisively before the others came back to their senses.

When the Spaniard's players came back to their senses, Ronaldo had successfully dribbled the ball inside and entered the penalty area!

From the beginning to now, it is rare to have such a good opportunity. Ronaldo took a few steps forward to adjust his pace, and shot decisively.The angle of the shot was quite tricky. The Spaniard goalkeeper, who was flying to catch the ball, missed it. He could only watch the ball pass by him. Just when everyone thought the ball had gone in, a gray figure But he stepped forward and blocked the ball on the goal line. It was the Spaniard captain Luis Garcia who was desperately returning to the defense!

Before the players of Real Madrid had time to be disappointed, and the players of the Spaniard only had time to feel a little bit of rejoicing, the situation on the field changed again—although the ball was blocked by Luis, it did not fly far, and it was about to land. At the feet of Kaka, who was looking for opportunities outside the penalty area, Kaka scanned the situation in the penalty area, guessing that his foot feeling is not so good today, so he is more confident in passing the ball, so he handed the ball to Di Maria on the left. , Di Maria then took advantage of the opportunity to push the ball to the middle, Benzema followed up with a light push, the football finally passed the goal line smoothly, and the referee's whistle sounded in the next second to indicate that the goal was valid!

Finally broke the tortoise shell, we lead 1:0, let's see if you can stick to it as before, Mourinho clenched his fist hard.

Benzema rushed to the stands happily, Di Maria followed, and a run-up climbed onto Benzema's back. Ronaldo and Kaka also ran over and hugged Benzema vigorously. Ramos ran over to join in the fun, while Yuntian was more reserved and only gave Benzema a high-five, and was ridiculed by Ramos for being too unenthusiastic.

Luis Garcia rubbed his chest that was a little sore from being hit by the football just now, looked at the Real Madrid players who were celebrating together, lowered his head and showed a wry smile, he had done everything he could, just looking, This last game at the Bernabeu could not be completed as smoothly as I imagined.

After all, the Bernabéu has such a group of outstanding sons of heaven.
