Sixty-Three Is It Appropriate to Bully Newcomers Like This?
On the evening of March 28, at the Alpi Stadium in Turin.
The game has entered the second half, and it will be 60 minutes soon, and the score is still zero to zero.
Since the second half, Capello has been standing in the command area of the home team's coaching bench, adjusting the team's tactics from time to time according to the situation on the field, especially the players' running and standing positions.
But tonight, Real Madrid is very tight.
Capello looked up at the time, turned his head, and nodded towards the assistant coach Gabiati in the coach's bench.
Gabiati immediately walked to the bench, called Mutu's name, and told him to warm up quickly.
The Juventus assistant coach has a serious look on his face, and the current situation on the court is not optimistic.
Capello brought two attackers as substitutes, Mutu and Sarajeta. The latter also reached 1.88 meters tall. If they go again, then Juventus will have three tall towers in the frontcourt.
But the biggest problem for Juventus tonight is that the midfielder can't play the ball.
...
At the beginning of the first half, Juventus actually played very actively.
The two strikers Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic launched a fierce press on Real Madrid's defense, and the whole team also actively ran through the midfield to create a threat.
Real Madrid still adopted a four-two-three formation, trying to seek stability through five midfielders, but the effect was not satisfactory at the beginning. They were suppressed by Juventus for a few minutes, but Gao Shen quickly made adjustments, especially allowing Raul and Both Beckham pressed forward to contain Zambrotta and Chiellini, plus Negredo suppressed the central defender, and Zidane targeted the double midfielder.
In this way, Real Madrid gradually stabilized their position.
After Real Madrid stabilized their position, it became more and more difficult for Juventus to advance from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
Especially in the midfield area, Real Madrid has a total of five players in this area.
As a result, Juventus was forced to use frequent long passes to attack.
Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic have a high ball advantage in the frontcourt. Ramos is not tall, and Woodgate has many injuries. As a result, the two are compared with the two major centers of Juventus. suffer.
Gao Shen is obviously aware of this, so he attaches great importance to the competition for the second landing point.
Trezeguet's ability to hold the ball is weak, and Real Madrid will control the second point; Ibrahimovic likes to play the ball at his feet. As long as he holds the ball, there will be at least two or three Real Madrid players around him.
Since Real Madrid's formation is very meticulous, it is completely possible to effectively control the second point.
The ground advancement is not good, and the efficiency of the long pass is not high. Juventus is also speechless about this.
The data can well reflect Real Madrid's defense tonight.
Throughout the first half, Juventus had only three shots, none of which were on target. The two centers Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic created a total of six offsides.
Who would have thought that Real Madrid would play defense at the Alpi Stadium!
But just that?
Garbiati always felt that Real Madrid tonight was very strange.
...
When Gabiati returned to the coach's bench, Capello also came back from the front, took a sip of hot water, lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked somewhat anxious.
"Let Sarajeta go to warm up later, it will be a hard fight tonight." Capello said in a deep voice.
Gabiati nodded, "I always feel that Real Madrid is a bit strange."
Capello glanced at his assistant, nodded slightly, "Did you find out?"
Gabiati was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that Capello knew it a long time ago.
"Every time we press out to attack, Real Madrid press forward, defend high, press our central midfielders through the midfield and press our two centre-forwards out of the box, so our shots So few, so many offsides."
Gabiati immediately understood Capello's explanation.
"However," Capello changed the subject, "every time we retreated appropriately and wanted Real Madrid to play, they also retreated accordingly, so the rhythm on the court became very strange, which was different from that in normal times. The game is very different."
When Gabiati heard this, he suddenly realized.
He finally understood why he felt strange, it turned out to be in the rhythm of the game.
Juventus advances, Real Madrid follows, Juventus retreats, Real Madrid also retreats.
But why play like this?
"Why?" Capello chuckled, "It's very simple, it saves effort."
For any team facing Juventus, if they want to score goals, they must invest in troops, consume a lot of physical energy and running, because Juventus is known for its solid defense.
In other words, it is still unknown whether a goal can be scored after investing a lot of troops and consuming a lot of physical energy.
The advanced method is that Real Madrid does not want to score goals. Apart from seizing the opportunity to play a quick counterattack, the rest of the time is aimed at Juventus' advance and retreat to maintain their formation position.
This has the advantage of minimizing the player's running and physical consumption.
But the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, unless the opportunity is seized in a quick counterattack, otherwise, don't even think about scoring.
"Is this too conservative?" Gabiati felt a little funny and thought to himself, no wonder the Spanish media are bombarding him for being conservative. He is so conservative that he dare not even attack.
But it was not easy for Gabiati to become Capello's assistant coach, and he quickly thought about it.
"I get it, he's preparing for the next Clasico and the second leg."
When thinking of this, Gabiati was a little silly.
Isn't this too bold?
Although the Champions League is a two-leg match, how many people have this courage?
Isn't this something that only world famous coaches dare to do?
"Real Madrid's lineup is so small. Without those few Brazilian players, it is difficult for them to play all the games well, so from the beginning, he never thought about winning at the Alpi Stadium. He only wanted a draw, preferably a draw. Zero to zero." Capello said helplessly.
He also has a headache against an opponent who is tightly defended and does not want to win at the same time.
As for being ugly, Juventus and Real Madrid are pretty much the same.
So far, the home team has taken four shots and zero shots on target. Real Madrid has one more shot, five shots and one shot on target.
It was a quick counterattack in the first half. After Beckham's big foot shifted, Felipe suddenly sprinted from the left side, directly lapped and went down, and made a pass from the baseline to the goal. The ball hits the goal.
The result was saved by Buffon flying.
This is also the most threatening offense created by the two teams so far.
Other than that, it's drowsy.
"You know what? The pain in the world is that people don't know what they want. They always want more and they don't understand that God secretly puts a price on everything. How much do you get? How much will be lost."
When Capello said this, he sighed secretly, "This kid knows exactly what he wants, and he can resist temptation, so you see, as soon as Real Madrid stepped forward, he shouted, let the team retreat, Because he just wanted a zero-to-zero game from start to finish."
Gabiati was a little surprised, he didn't expect Capello to have such a high evaluation of Gao Shen.
Is Gao Shen really a twenty-five-year-old young man?
"Even if this game really gives him a zero-to-zero, then he is so sure that the next Clasico will beat Barcelona and beat us at the Bernabeu in the second round?" Gabiati wondered.
Capello shook his head and smiled. "Who knows? This is the most interesting part of football, isn't it?"
After a pause, Capello said again: "Even if you ask me, if he really forced the score to 0-0 in the first round and the Bernabeu in the second round, is there any chance of winning? I can't answer you."
"As a head coach, everything we do, every decision we make is to help the team to the maximum extent, to increase the chances of scoring goals or winning. There are never absolutes in football. Character."
Gabiati nodded, so this is the so-called unpopularity.
A lot of analysis after the game is to deduce the cause from the result. It can be considered exhaustive if it can be deduced from before the game.
"This kid is interesting, really interesting." Capello turned his head and glanced at Gao Shen in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. The more he looked, the more pleasing he was, and he always felt that he had a determination that didn't match his age.
"So what do we do now?" Gabiati asked, "Let him keep the score?"
"He thinks well!" Capello scolded with a smile, "Tell Sarajeta to warm up and get ready to play."
…………
…………
Gao Shen stood in front of the coach of the visiting team, staring worriedly at the situation on the court.
Real Madrid's players all have an offensive heart, and he was afraid that they would rush out accidentally.
At this time, you can't rush.
Going out, it is very difficult to score a goal, but the physical energy consumption is even greater, what will be used to fight against Barcelona and Juventus next Wednesday?
More importantly, he has also been observing the situation of Juventus, wanting to find loopholes and exploit them in the second round.
But he didn't expect that Capello would be so ignorant of martial arts.
In the 60th minute, Mutu replaced Camoranesi and played as a left midfielder. Nedved was transposed to the right.
Then, he saw Sarajeta running out to warm up.
Five minutes later, Zarajeta replaced Vieira.
"Fuck, is Capello crazy?" Maqueda shouted in disbelief.
Three centers!
Sarajeta, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic are all 1.9 meters tall.
For a while, Gao Shen really had the urge to scold her mother.
This is clearly bullying the short stature of Real Madrid players, right?
But let alone, Real Madrid players suffer physically.
Capello actually has another meaning. He saw through Gao Shen's intentions and forced him to play a war of attrition.
Otherwise, think about it, three 1.9-meter high center forwards stand in the penalty area, and the golf ball flies directly into the sky. Nima, that scene is like murder and arson!
Gao Shen turned his head and glanced at the home team's coaching bench, just as Capello was also looking in his direction, and even nodded and smiled at Gao Shen, making Gao Shen only scold his mother in his heart.
Miscalculated!
Capello is Rijkaard's master!
Are the master and apprentice really planning to join hands to play me to death?
How should I put it, you are also accomplished seniors, so you just bully me, a newcomer?
Do you think it is suitable?
Bullying me like this will really give you more pleasure?
