Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 544 Murphy and Mourinho ([-])

However, Mourinho's Real Madrid is not without a trace of weakness. Although Mourinho's wrist is tough, their defense is a big loophole. When they play smoothly, how do Real Madrid's stars play? If they can't attack for a long time, impetuous superstars often make low-level mistakes from time to time. Many times, Real Madrid loses points on weak teams because of such factors.And the central defender Pepe is also an untimely bomb. This is a player who is easy to congest his head and lose his mind. As the core of the defense, he is not as calm as he should be. His defensive ability is indeed the world's top defender, but his However, his temper has caused him and Real Madrid to suffer enough. So far this season, he has received three red cards, and he has been expelled from the stadium three times before the end of the season. This is also a professional league record.

Mourinho's team also has a very important shortcoming. In the case of not playing defensive counterattacks, Mourinho's team lacks creativity, especially when the opponent is defending tightly, they cannot find a way to break through the opponent's defense. A good way, which is also a common problem of disciplined teams.For a wide player like Di Maria, although his breakthrough is very sharp, he has no problem with the bottom pass. If he really wants to play a deadly direct pass, he will have to spend a long time. His skills are good, but his biggest feature is that he is more threatening when he shoots or splits after a breakthrough. Ozil is a player with very imaginative passing, but Real Madrid's main lineup does not have his place.

Through research, Redknapp and members of the coaching staff believe that if Tottenham want to score points at the Bernabeu Stadium, they must not allow Mourinho's team to take the lead. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, no matter what method you use to win, it doesn't matter how many goals you win, as long as you can win.When the scene and score are absolutely dominant, Mourinho doesn't mind the team turning the game into an exhibition game, but when it comes to major fate, he has only one requirement, and that is to win by any means.

Redknapp believes that if Real Madrid takes the lead in the game, Mourinho, who does his own way, will never take care of the feelings of the [-] fans at home. Hit Tottenham's counterattack.

In the face of such a highly utilitarian head coach, Redknapp is not a man who does not know how to adapt. Even Barcelona in its heyday and Mourinho's Chelsea could not take advantage of the match, let alone the heat. Spurs, although Tottenham's offensive firepower this season is fierce, but Redknapp is not arrogant enough to think that his team is invincible.

It is also a good result to hold on to the counterattack and slowly deal with Real Madrid to get a point. Of course, it would be even better to get an away goal.This is a tactical plan formulated by the Tottenham coaching staff based on the actual situation and the strength comparison of the two teams.Tottenham's defense is not inferior to their offense. Tottenham has the capital to play a defensive counterattack in some important games. After all, Tottenham's advancement speed is very fast, and the offensive players in the frontcourt also use speed. Style-based, could it be that the speed like the wind and the sharp breakthrough are definitely enough for Real Madrid to drink a pot.

If Tottenham can score a point in this game against Real Madrid, Redknapp believes that the pressure of the second round will definitely be on Real Madrid's side. No matter how strong Real Madrid's offensive ability is, no matter how good the performance of the superstars is , Tottenham, which has the advantage of the home court, will definitely be able to maximize the benefits according to the situation. After all, even if the current Tottenham is not as luxurious as Real Madrid in terms of lineup, in terms of ability, it already has a higher capital.

Regarding the side defense that Redknapp is most worried about, the coaching staff decided to stick to the left after discussion. Kabul is not allowed to assist, and it is enough to complete the defensive task in the backcourt with peace of mind.In addition, Bell and Huddlestone pay attention to the protection of the left flank to prevent Ramos and Di Maria from shooting after breaking through. There is a threat.If this is still unable to contain Real Madrid's right attack, Redknapp has nothing to do, and can only hope that Tottenham's right can make a breakthrough.After all, no matter how good a tactic is, it needs people to execute it. If the player's ability is too far behind, no tactic will work.

As for the right wing, Marcelo's offensive ability is even slightly better than that of Ramos, and he is also more threatening, but the Tottenham coaching staff unanimously ignored this issue.

joke?

Tottenham has this pervertedly strong player on the right side. Shouldn't Tottenham be the one to worry about?Only Mourinho has a headache.

The coaching staff had a good idea. Tottenham and Real Madrid had the upper hand on one wing. The key to determining the outcome of the game was probably who was able to score the first goal in the confrontation between the two sides.

Anyway, I am extremely worried about Tottenham on the left, but I am extremely confident about the right.It can be said that the outcome of this game is really difficult to predict, and the chances can only be said to be half and half.

The football training base in the Valdebebas Sports City in the northern suburbs of Madrid has been closed these days. Many reporters and fans who are preparing to interview before the start of the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals can only come here for fun Come back disappointed.

Many reporters expressed dissatisfaction with Mourinho's practice of closed training before the game, thinking that Mourinho made a big fuss. Although Tottenham Hotspur performed extremely well in the British domestic league, they did perform well in the Champions League. , but that's just eye-catching. Looking at the opponents they have encountered before, apart from Inter Milan, which one of Twente, Hoffenheim and Schalke 04 can truly be regarded as a powerful team?Real Madrid, as the best team of the century in the last century, and the winner of nine Champions League trophies, it is too cheap to conduct closed training before the game. It feels like they are afraid of Tottenham.

But Mourinho ignored it and went his own way. Real Madrid had just lost to the same city’s younger brother Sporting Gijon in the league. Mourinho’s strategy of insisting on the rotation system was questioned by the media. Discordant voices, but the scolding of the fans still sounded from time to time.Under such circumstances, accepting the challenge of Tottenham, which is currently the most popular in Europe, Mourinho is under a lot of pressure. He must win this game, not even a draw!
At this moment, the Real Madrid stars are doing different training content in different venues. Mourinho is in the middle of the stadium and is always watching everyone's training. Mourinho, Redknapp and Rangnick's training methods are very different. Different, there are only two hours of training time in the morning and afternoon, but each training session has to be played for 90 minutes, and the content is very close to a game.Mourinho believes that the most important thing about training is not the length of time, but the intensity. Blindly increasing the amount of training has no other positive effect except to make the players more mentally and physically tired. It can strengthen the three aspects of technique and tactics, physical fitness and mentality at the same time.This is an inseparable training content.

In the confrontation training match, if the reporter is present, they will be surprised to find that the players wearing the main vest are very different from the last game against Sporting Gijon. Pedro Leon, who started the last round, wore Instead of a substitute vest, the striker line has become a weird combination of C. Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuain. Real Madrid has been playing a double striker tactic this season. It is indeed very rare for three strikers to be present at the same time. of.

The midfield has also changed. In terms of personnel, only Di Maria has been replaced, but the position has changed a lot. Kaka still appears in the position of right midfielder, replacing Di Maria. The position is the defensive midfielder Las Diarra, but his position seems to be closer to the center. Presumably Mourinho asked him to take into account the defense of the center and the side.As for the brain of Real Madrid, Harvey Alonso still sits in the midfield, scheduling offense and defense.

The back line is okay, there is no personnel adjustment, which is inevitable. This back line is the most capable back lineup of Real Madrid, and it will not be replaced easily.However, judging from the training situation, the right back Ramos and the two central defenders are actively attacking, while Marcelo stays behind and does not move. It seems that he is concentrating on defense.

Looking at the main lineup of Real Madrid training, compared with the last round of the league, although the changes in personnel are not big, but the transfer of positions is very different. If this is the starting lineup in the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Tottenham The lineup will definitely shock the head coach and players of Tottenham. In Tottenham's speculation, Real Madrid will either play a strong attack or play a defensive counterattack, but this lineup is completely different. If you tell the reason, it can be regarded as an offensive formation, but it is just a incomplete offensive formation. Real Madrid simply gave up the left attack and placed their hopes on the right.

Real Madrid is conducting simulation training for the UEFA Champions League. Mourinho stared at the fiercely confronting players on the court, his face uncertain.Tottenham’s key players are all prepared. Van der Vaart is being watched by Carvalho and Alonso is behind to protect; Modric will be taken care of by Diarra, and Kaka, who is close to the center, is nearby to prevent his long pass. .As for Bell, who is extremely aggressive, he is not worried. Real Madrid has gathered a large number of good attackers on the right side. No matter how strong Bell is, he can only participate in the defense in a hurry.

However, Mourinho is not very satisfied with Murphy's defense. It is not enough to just send Diarra to follow him. Marcelo's body, so his task in this game is to defend, it doesn't matter whether he assists or not.Of course, this is not enough. Considering Mo Fei's abnormal speed and super personal ability, Mourinho thinks that the midfielder needs one person to be responsible for intercepting, but he found that each of the three midfielders has a task , I really can't spare any manpower to help defend it.

Mourinho couldn't help laughing wryly. He had a headache because he realized that just to deal with Murphy, the Real Madrid midfielders needed to be fully mobilized. He felt that the team was about to fight against Tottenham, but Murphy alone. .And even if all the midfielders piled up to the left, he still felt not confident enough to stop Mo Fei.This son of the Huaxia wind is indeed a headache!
"We must guard against this kid, even if it is not strict enough for other Tottenham players! He is the key!" Mourinho murmured as if talking to himself.

The assistant coach standing next to Mourinho helped Karanka understand who the kid the head coach was talking about. To be honest, he was also full of curiosity about that Chinese kid named Mo Fei. Of course, he was more appreciative. It has been a long time since football has seen such an outstanding rising star. He even believes that if he continues to maintain this state for one or two seasons before winning a few important honors, then the Golden Globe Award will come as no surprise. fell on his head.

But unfortunately, no matter how well that Huaxia kid plays and is in good condition, he is not a Real Madrid player. Although Real Madrid is indeed very interested in him, the club executives have not shown the corresponding sincerity. They would rather To pursue Fabregas, who overlapped with Alonso, was unwilling to pay the corresponding price to chase such a talented and potential young player, which made Karanka feel sad.Although Real Madrid's superstar policy has brought unimaginable commercial value and influence to the team, it is insufficient for the input of fresh and sustainable blood.If Real Madrid is blocked from making a decisive move to poach Mo Fei from Hoffenheim, it will not be their turn to have a headache now.
