Chapter 193, The Core Is Defense
In fact, the same is true inside Real Madrid.
Liverpool are in the limelight this season in Europe and England. To say that Liverpool is not afraid is to lie with open eyes.
Zidane replaced Mourinho as Real Madrid's head coach.
Although in the locker room management, people think that with Zidane's prestige, he is doing much better than Mourinho.
But in terms of tactics, the current Zidane may not be as good as Mourinho -- this is the opinion of many people,
Of course.
Zidane doesn't think so.
He was a master midfielder when he was a player.
He has a smart mind and has unique insights into any tactics.
It's just that his prestige overshadowed his understanding of tactics.
In fact, from the moment Liverpool broke into the Champions League final, Zidane started research and investigation work on Liverpool.
He is not worried that his team can pass the semi-finals, he is confident that Real Madrid 03 Delhi will definitely appear on the stage of the Champions League final.
In preparing for the battle, he was very careful.
Send scouts to stay in Liverpool to track every game of Liverpool and observe the status of their players.
However, the effect was not great, because after the elimination of Barcelona, Liverpool sent half of the first-team substitutes and half of the reserve team players to play the next game.
Therefore, this kind of follow-up observation can only observe a very limited number of people, and the information collected is of little reference value.
Fortunately, TV information is very developed nowadays, and the Internet is even more developed.
So he can get a lot of past game data.
Use these data to analyze the opponent's situation.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane attaches great importance to Liverpool as an opponent.
His attitude is also very positive.
Very very positive.
Because he put Liverpool in the position of a strong team from the beginning, and regarded Real Madrid as a challenger.
He was thinking about how not to lose to Liverpool, not how to beat Liverpool.
In fact, it is the same, as long as he does not lose to Liverpool, he has a way to beat Liverpool.
His method is very simple, but most people can't think of it.
In fact, someone thought of it before Zidane, and Zidane's method was also based on the other party's reference.
He found out after watching a ton of Liverpool games this season.
He was watching the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
He found Spurs tied 2-2 at home to the Liverpool reserves in the first leg.
Then when going to the away game, Tottenham chose to stick to the draw.
Zidane, who has coached in the Premier League for many years, knows the rules of the League Cup very well.
Unlike the Champions League in the League Cup, there is no such thing as away goals.
In other words, even if Tottenham don't score a goal in this game, as long as they don't concede a goal, they will have a chance to drag the game into overtime, and then...
It's a penalty.
By the way, this is Tottenham's plan.
Spurs clearly wanted to use the penalty shoot-out to offset Su Han's ability alone.
After all, no matter how good Su Han is, he is only one person. One goal in a regular game can determine the final outcome.
It can be said that one goal of his may be worth two, or even three goals.
But in the penalty shoot-out, one goal of Su Han is equal to one. It is impossible for him to score two or three goals.
Therefore, even if he can kick the football into the goal, it is meaningless. As long as his teammates perform poorly, the victory of the game will naturally belong to Tottenham.
After Zidane figured out why Tottenham Hotspur did this, he found that this was really a good way to deal with Liverpool.
Especially Real Madrid, which is very suitable for him.
Because after three years of Mourinho's transformation, Real Madrid's defense is completely different from that of the previous Shiliu Lang period.
Real Madrid now has a very solid defense.
The central defender has a combination of Ramos and Pepe.
There is a young defensive midfielder Casemiro in the midfielder.
besides.
Harvey Alonso, plus Tony Cross010 who came from Bayern Munich.
Such a midfield match is very tough.
Real Madrid's defensive ability has become very stable under the combination of such a tough midfielder and super central defender.
And the current Real Madrid is not the Real Madrid of the Galacticos.
They won't have any particular opinion on defense.
when necessary.
If you stick to it, Real Madrid is also possible.
His Real Madrid will play unrestrainedly when facing weak teams, because he knows that weak teams cannot really threaten themselves.
So he doesn't mind pleasing discerning Real Madrid fans with his attacks against weaker teams.
But when he meets a strong team that can really threaten him, he will choose a more conservative strategy.
First solid defense, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Although such a game is just as good-looking.
But the core is still defense.
So if you want to stick to the tie, Guardiola's Barcelona can't do it, but Zidane's Real Madrid is very handy. .
