All-around center

In one minute of injury time, Barcelona got a goal back with Xavi's set kick.

But this goal failed to save much.

After all, the time left was limited, not to mention that Barcelona had only scored this goal after trying so many attacks.

"This is the end of the game. Barcelona once again suffered a defeat at home, which also brought them five consecutive defeats. When facing Real Madrid, Barcelona always played extremely chaotic games. We can't say that Guardio There are problems with La’s tactical arrangements, but I have to say that Mourinho did better in this game!”

"At the same time, this also gives Real Madrid a big advantage!"

When the full-time whistle sounded, the Barcelona players sat on the ground, confusion and pain on their expressions.

Since last season, it has been difficult for them to break through against Real Madrid.

Obviously, they have been suppressing Real Madrid for a long time, but since the arrival of Suker, everything seems to have changed.

Moreover, last season, Real Madrid played in a mess.

Although there was some intention of beating the old master to death with random punches, Barcelona finally saw the dawn of victory.

But this season, Real Madrid is making progress step by step. They have their own stable tactical system, and they have strong reinforcements and a further strengthened lineup.

Barcelona's lineup is already perfect!

But a game is not about the so-called lineup. The performance and status of the players are all crucial.

At the beginning, they did maintain a better state, but as the game continued and their physical fitness declined, Real Madrid's performance became even better.

There were also some tactical-level changes that combined to ultimately lose the game.

Of course, Benzema's 'lucky ball' is also a reason.

It can be said that this second goal was the last straw!

"Quickly retreat!"

At the end of the game, the Real Madrid players did not celebrate and immediately returned to the locker room.

They simply cleaned up and then took the bus directly to the airport to prepare to leave Barcelona.

There was no way. After the game, they saw that Barcelona fans had begun to attack the security personnel, and there was a possibility of rushing into the stadium at any time.

For safety reasons, the sooner you can withdraw naturally, the better.

Almost as soon as the game was over, they hurried away.

"Did you aim that shot at me?"

On the plane, Benzema questioned Alonso.

Alonso shrugged: "There was no shooting angle, so didn't you avoid it too?"

"What if I didn't dodge? The shot would have hit my face."

Thinking of this scene, Benzema was a little scared. That volley hit his head directly. This was no joke.

Alonso smiled: "Then you scored a goal too."

Benzema thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Although the goal was somewhat disgraceful, a goal was a goal.

With another goal scored, Benzema is very happy.

Sure enough, his choice was right!

If in the original conversation with Mourinho, his answer was "I want to be a shooter," then he would probably be in the same situation as Higuain.

In the plane, Higuain sat alone at the very end.

He is already a fringe figure at Real Madrid.

During this period, Higuain also lost a lot of confidence, and sometimes even began to wonder if he had done something wrong.

But he doesn't want to compromise. Even now, even if he has a little self-doubt, he still wants to be a shooter and compete with Su Ke.

However, it seems that he has no chance.

Mourinho did not give him a chance. As the team improved the next day and the integration progress became higher and higher, Higuain began to have some thoughts about leaving.

Real Madrid. Maybe there is no place for him anymore.

Mourinho was sitting in the front seat, and even after the game was over, he was still writing something in his notebook with his head down.

Faria turned around and took a look. The notebook looked like a ghost drawing, with dense handwriting and movement trajectories, and some scribbled notes beside it, but they were basically incomprehensible.

It is estimated that only Mourinho himself can understand this stuff.

"What are you thinking about?"

Faria asked.

Mourinho; "About Karim."

"Benzema?" Faria blinked, and he immediately remembered several key moves of Benzema in this game and their speculations about Benzema.

"The problem now is that if Benzema has a keen sense of smell in front of goal, then for team considerations, Suker cannot be a center forward!"

Mourinho pursed his lips.

Sometimes it's also a problem that the players are too good.

He didn't know how to make a choice, give up this pity or give up that pain.

But he also understands that there is no perfect tactic.

There will always be conflicts in the characteristics of the players, which is why there is a need for running-in, and it also requires Mourinho, as the head coach, to make a decision.

For Mourinho, before the winter break, this is the preparation period for Real Madrid.

The games in the first half of the season are not that important, and the schedule pressure is not great, so there are more opportunities for trial and error and experimentation.

But once we enter the second half of the season!

Champions League knockout rounds! League points battle! King's Cup etc.

All these will consume their energy.

At that time, Real Madrid, which is fighting on three fronts, will also be in a state of fatigue.

The current Real Madrid has not yet reached the level of the future.

Two sets of lineups on and off the field.

And both sets of lineups are top-notch!

"We still need to buy people!" Mourinho exhaled.

"Still buying? We finally got along well." Faria said.

Mourinho closed his notebook.

"I need two sets of lineups, and two top-notch lineups. There won't be too many players entering the transfer market in the winter window, but you can also pay attention to it and prepare well in the summer window!"

Faria nodded: "The cost-effectiveness of the winter window is indeed not high!"

"Cost-effectiveness?" Mourinho turned his head and smiled; "Man, open up the pattern, we are Real Madrid, we don't need to consider cost-effectiveness, as long as he is strong enough and can help us, then Real Madrid is willing to pay!"

Faria grinned.

He is still a little petty.

Although Chelsea and Inter Milan were willing to pay before.

But the problem is that the appeal is not enough!

During the Chelsea period, although they dominated the Premier League, they lacked the honor of the Champions League.

And those top players, although they have requirements for salary, they also require the results of the Champions League.

For this reason, it is difficult for Chelsea to attract those top players in the absolute sense to join.

At the beginning, Ballack and Shevchenko were also seduced by them after three visits and great efforts.

The situation of Inter Milan is even worse!

After all, before Mourinho, Inter Milan was called a black hole for stars.

Whoever goes there will suffer!

But Real Madrid is different!

They are the players with the most Champions League honors in history, and they are willing to spend money and give satisfactory salary conditions.

The key is that all top players believe that Real Madrid is reviving, not rising!

Rising requires continuous breakthroughs in suffering, and the road is extremely difficult.

But revival is on the road that predecessors have stepped on, and it is smooth sailing.

Based on the appeal of Real Madrid, Mourinho is confident that he can form another lineup.

In the evening, all members of Real Madrid arrived at the training base.

Although it was a little late, Mourinho still led the players to the tactical room, watched the game video, and analyzed and summarized the process of the game.

Real Madrid performed very well in this game.

But for the picky Mourinho, they should not have lost the ball.

But it is precisely because of this almost perverted persistence that Mourinho can be called a defensive master.

The tactical summary lasted for a full hour, and it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening when they walked out of the tactical room.

Mourinho happily took a half-day off!

The morning training was cancelled, so that the players could have a good rest and sleep enough.

Gather at the training base at 1 pm for training.

"The equipment room of the first team is in front. In addition to ball training, we will also conduct relevant strength training."

Casillas looked at the little carrot head in front of him, blinked and sparked with self-righteous charm, and said humorously: "If you are interested, you can try it, especially squats!"

The young players showed confused expressions.

Casillas saw that the effect was not good, and pointed to the equipment room awkwardly, saying; "Let's go in."

These little radishes are all from the Real Madrid B team, of course not all of them, but some talented young players.

Real Madrid's youth training is also top in Europe, although it cannot be compared with Ajax.

But many famous stars have also come out.

Youth training is not only the youth training base itself, but also the second team.

It can be said that except for the first team, everything that provides nutrition for this is considered "youth training".

And the most famous of Real Madrid is the "abandoned generals"

For example, Mata, Eto'o, Cañizares, Negreva, etc.

Compared to other clubs, the proportion of Real Madrid's youth training that goes directly from youth training to the first team and can successfully stay at the Bernabeu Stadium is very rare.

It can even be said that the elimination rate has reached a terrifying 90%!

There are very few youth training players who can get the opportunity to try out for the first team. The terrifying 90% elimination rate makes these players naturally flow into the transfer market.

Mata is like this.

Eto'o also failed to get a chance in Real Madrid B team and then transferred away.

Of course, this also indirectly proves the stringent requirements of Real Madrid for first-team players.

This led to the loss of a large number of youth training players. Even if they achieved world-class results, it was still difficult to match the name of Real Madrid.

Of course, there were some surprises, such as Eto'o!

Letting Eto'o go was definitely the most painful mistake for Real Madrid.

Among the B team players with little carrot heads, a white boy about 18 years old stared curiously at everything around him.

With a short haircut, he looked more youthful than his sunny appearance.

Compared with his peers around him, he was slightly shorter, only about 170 cm.

But those smart eyes kept looking around, and the whole person looked extremely excited.

His name is Daniel Carvajal.

A serious player from Real Madrid's youth training.

"Daniel, come here!"

Casillas waved at Carvajal.

Although Carvajal is not tall, he is definitely a great discovery in the Real Madrid youth training in recent times. Carvajal's outstanding performance in the Real Madrid B team and the overall excellent record earned them the opportunity to visit this time. Chance.

Casillas is naturally close to Carvajal, after all, both of them came from Real Madrid's youth training.

"We have a break this morning, so you may not see the first team players!"

Ah~~~~~~~! !

All the young players suddenly looked regretful. .

Casillas shrugged; "Am I not enough?"

The scene fell silent again.

Clearly, Casillas has no gift for humor.

"Ahem! Let's go in!"

Pushing open a glass door, you first feel a slightly stuffy atmosphere.

The entire equipment room is extremely huge, with so many types of equipment that you can't even see the side at a glance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

They just walked in.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps and the sound of treadmill tracks turning.

Casillas was a little surprised.

The morning should be a day off!

When they walked over, they found a shirtless figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The muscles on the body are knotted, and as they run, the muscles are also trembling. They are not the kind of stiff and rigid muscles, but give people a sense of agility and resilience.

The bronze skin is the result of exposure to the wind and sun, and wisps of sweat slid down the waist and cheeks, falling on the treadmill.

But the most eye-catching thing is the mask on his mouth, making him look like a future warrior.

"Iron Warrior!"

A youth training player shouted subconsciously.

This is a drama he has been following recently.

drop!

The sound of the treadmill turning off.

As the crawler rotation speed decreased, the man also slowly stopped.

"Suke?"

Casillas couldn't help but be surprised when the man turned around.

Suk glanced at Kacasillas and the other teenagers.

He didn't say hello immediately, but stood there, constantly adjusting his rapid breathing.

As his breathing calmed down, the veins on his neck and forehead slowly began to disappear.

Squeak!

Suk took off his mask and began to breathe heavily.

"Cool!"

Casillas looked at Suk and couldn't help grinning.

If you read it correctly, this is Pintus’ ultimate weapon in physical training, the oxygen-blocking mask.

They haven't seen this oxygen-blocking mask for a long time since the pre-season physical training ended.

But unexpectedly, Suk was still using it.

Casillas felt like throwing up after seeing this thing.

He is obviously a goalkeeper, but he is still required to be physically fit by Pintus.

Of course, as captain, he also needs to lead the way.

"Why are you here? Isn't it a day off this morning?"

Casillas handed over the towel next to him.

"Thank you!" Su Ke wiped the sweat from his body and said, "I woke up in the morning and had nothing to do, so I came here to train."

This is a lie!

Mainly because it loses two points of flexibility!

He hadn't noticed it before, but when Su Ke looked at the system panel, he discovered this.

During this period, due to frequent competitions and various things, Su Ke forgot about oxygen mask training.

Unexpectedly, I lost two points of flexibility!

This makes Su Ke very distressed!

For this reason, he took the time to practice quickly!

Of course, one morning is not enough time, and it may take a week or more to recover a little.

Suk sat on the treadmill, raised his hand slightly and pointed at the little carrot heads; "Who are these?"

"Players from Real Madrid's B team." Casillas rolled his eyes: "There is a reward event today. We will take them to visit the first team, follow them for training in the afternoon, and play a reward match. Are you interested?"

Hearing this, the eyes of all the little carrot heads almost gleamed.

Playing football with Su Ke, they almost jumped with excitement.

Carvajal also stared at Suk closely, with excitement on his face.

But Su Ke waved his hand: "I'll forget it, I still have to train."

Hearing this, the young players suddenly showed disappointed expressions.

"Okay." Casillas couldn't force it.

Although he really hopes that Su Ke will give him face, it is obvious that Su Ke is only thinking about regaining his flexibility at this time and has no time to play football with these little carrots.

"Do you still want to train?" Casillas asked.

Su Ke nodded; "Don't worry about me, you can visit when you should!"

After saying that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Suk put on the mask again, walked towards the dumbbells, picked up the heavy dumbbells, and at the same time came to the front of the yoga ball. He knelt on the yoga ball, maintaining balance and exercising his arm strength. .

Seeing this scene, the young players couldn't help but take a breath.

What a strong core!

Suk knelt on the yoga ball. Although it was shaking a little, he relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen to maintain balance.

Carvajal watched Suk's training seriously and was ready to go back and give it a try.

And that mask

"What does that mask do?"

Carvajal asked.

Casillas; "That is an oxygen-blocking mask, which reduces the amount of oxygen inhaled and allows the body to reach its limit faster."

After that, Casillas said seriously: "Don't challenge it. If you don't use this thing properly, it may destroy you. And don't imitate Su Ke's training, you will get injured!"

Although everyone was a little curious, they still nodded.

Even if it is imitation, they will probably give up soon.

After all, Su Ke's own training intensity is very high, and he is also supported by an oxygen-blocking mask.

Casillas believed that these little carrots could not survive for five minutes and would faint immediately.

After all, these first-team players wore oxygen-blocking masks for only ten minutes, and each one of them vomited non-stop.

This thing is extremely powerful and the training risks are very high.

So far, except for Suk, everyone else is prohibited from using oxygen-blocking masks without permission.

As for Su Ke, this guy is an exception. After all, even Pintus is not sure where Su Ke's limit is!

In the afternoon, Real Madrid started normal training.

Carvajal and other young players also joined in.

Mourinho didn't care what kind of training these young players had received, and just tortured them into dogs.

Pintus even took out the oxygen-blocking mask and let them try it for five minutes. As expected, they all vomited to the point of darkness.

Carvajal's first trip to the first team was left with a psychological shadow.
