The Era of Emerald

() "Huh, that's great, it's actually a team of Real Madrid and Fiorentina." Back at the hotel where he stayed, Zhuang Mingge wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to himself in relief, but he didn't want his words to cause trouble. Answered Karin's question.

"Antonio, why do you say that? It sounds like you don't pay much attention to the Real Madrid team under coach Valdano. Anyway, they were also the La Liga champions last season."

"Hehe, I don't underestimate Real Madrid, after all, it's the club that has won the most European Cups!" Having said that, Zhuang Mingge changed the subject, "But this season, I don't think they can win the European Cup. Get a good grade."

"?" Groz looked at Zhuang Mingge with an expression of "I don't understand", and said, "I have seen Real Madrid's moves in the transfer market this season before, except for letting go of the main midfielder Michele. In addition to Laudrup, their main lineup last season remained intact, and they also introduced young players such as Petkovic and Guti who have shown se. How could such a lineup fail to achieve good results? ?”

As soon as Zhuang Mingge heard it, he knew that Groz Jr. had also made many fans' mistakes. When evaluating the strength of the team, he only looked at the individual abilities of the players, and did not think much about the actual coordination effect and the team's offensive and defensive balance.

Just like the Galaxy battleship built by Florentino of later generations, after the arrival of Beckham, the Real Madrid midfielder composed of Beckham, Zizou, Figo, Ronaldo and Raul did seem to be Very powerful, but many people have not noticed how these superstars share their possession and playing time, and whether the older Real Madrid superstars have enough physical strength to cope with the long season; in addition, the transfer of Makelele at the time It broke Real Madrid's already fragile offensive and defensive balance. Without a strong defense, the Galaxy battleship began to fall apart after the end of this season. .

"Uh, so to speak, coach Valdano's starting point is good. He realized that the five eagles of Real Madrid in the Mendoza era were old and it was difficult to lead the team forward, so he spared no effort to improve the team last summer. Rejuvenation transformation, Redondo, Alcorta, Redondo, Amavisca and others were all introduced in this situation, and the effect is quite obvious. Real Madrid ended Barcelona's consecutive championship last season Recaptured the La Liga title."

"However, judging from Valdano's transfer actions this summer, he may have been too hasty." Zhuang Mingge said while sketching on the paper with Real Madrid's first-team roster for this season. "Look, Rebecca, there were three main scoring points for Real Madrid last season, namely Zamorano, Amavisca and Raul Gonzalez. These three accounted for 80% of Real Madrid's season. Goals like those above, and all three of them are at the Bernabeu this summer, maybe you would think they could keep up that level of firepower this season."

"That's right, since the forwards who can score goals are all left, and the main force in the midfield is Laudrup, the offensive firepower should be enough." Hearing this, Groz Jr. interjected, Said.

"So Rebecca, you only saw the surface. One thing you didn't notice is that it was none other than Laudrup who had left the team last season to control the rhythm of Real Madrid! Among the rest, Louis Enrique is better at charging alone rather than organizing attacks. Although Redondo is a direct descendant of Valdano from Tenerife, he also has the ability to take on the heavy responsibility of midfield organization, but the number of 23 appearances is enough. It can be seen that the Argentine has not firmly secured the main position in Real Madrid, because the main midfielders of Real Madrid are still Hierro and Michel. Michel was indeed a good organizational midfielder when he was young, but his state in the past two years The decline is so fast that it is no longer enough to support the normal operation of the team, and his status in Real Madrid makes Valdano dare not take him."

"That is to say, after Laudrup moved to Ajax, Real Madrid's control in the midfield has been greatly weakened, lacking the organization and scheduling of a midfield master, plus veteran Butragueno , Vazquez and others left the team, the current Real Madrid is too young, the mental adjustment ability and state of young players are inherently fluctuating, and it is easy to have problems on the court. Once the game is at a disadvantage, it is difficult to come back." Zhuang Mingge finally said The reason why I am not optimistic about Real Madrid is over.

Of course, he still has some things to say, that is, Real Madrid is a technical team, and physical confrontation is their weakness. Think about Fiorentina, Glasgow Rangers and Steaua Bucharest in the same group, which team is physically weaker? In terms of quality, they can crush Real Madrid.

"So what do you think about the other two teams, Tony?"

"There is no need to mention Bucharest Star. Although this team was indeed a strong team in the 80s, with the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in the early 90s, Romania's domestic economy collapsed due to 'shock therapy'. If we don’t rely on selling our main players to survive, the current Steaua Bucharest is no longer the Romanian national team.” Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge also felt a little bit sad, although he kept saying that politics should go away, but the political changes are indeed Greatly affected the pattern and development of football.

"As for the Glasgow Rangers, we need to be more careful. It's not that they are so strong, but that their sturdy, fast-paced, physical confrontation style of play does restrain the Italian team. Coupled with the common nerve knife traits of British teams, we have to guard against it." Zhuang Mingge clearly remembered that in the year when Manchester United won the Treble, the second round of the Champions League semi-final between the Red Devils and Juventus, a Manchester United, who conceded two goals in the opening game, dragged down the Bianconeri in the next few 10 minutes, and scored three goals in a row to advance; not to mention the Istanbul night in 05, the Liverpool people proved with facts How powerful is the skill of the British team's nerve knife.

"So, although this group looks quite scary, as long as Fiorentina can perform normally, there is no problem in entering the quarterfinals, and there is even hope of qualifying as the first in the group."

It is best to follow the track of Juventus in history and win the European Champions Cup this season!
