"In this game, Southampton is also fighting!"

In the visiting team coach at the Glory Stadium, Real Madrid's assistant coach David Bettoni said with a wry smile. ＠乐＠文＠小＠说|

He and Zidane were close friends when they were young. They were very close friends and comrades-in-arms on the court when Zidane was a fledgling player and played for Cannes.

This kind of friendship that met Wei Mo is undoubtedly more precious.

So, later, even if Bettoni's career was very mediocre, Zidane rose to fame and became a top star in the world, but the friendship between the two of them has always been very close.

When Zidane accepted Florentino’s invitation and returned to Real Madrid, he had to find an assistant for himself. The first thing he thought of was David Bettoni, and even if the latter did not have a coaching certificate, he still Still took him to the Bernabeu.

From the youth team to the first team, Bertoni has always been Zidane's most trusted man.

This is why, although he does not have the name of an assistant coach in Real Madrid, he is still fulfilling the reality of an assistant coach.

Zidane heard his friend's words and nodded slightly, "Ancelotti is very familiar with us."

This is indeed a headache.

As the former head coach of Real Madrid, Real Madrid under Ancelotti did not have much change from the current Real Madrid team. Lewandowski replaced Benzema with Lewandowski. Cristiano Ronaldo strongly supports Gareth Bale.

But in general, Real Madrid's changes are not obvious.

This has brought Zidane a very passive dilemma, that is, his every move seems to be touched by the other party.

He tried to demand change, but where could he change?

The superstar lineup that Real Madrid has brought over the past few years is strictly a double-edged sword.

To play to the strength of superstars such as Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, the team has to develop a tactical play that can play to their advantages.

But for this type of impact player, the tactical flexibility is too small, they need space to play their characteristics, which makes Real Madrid's entire tactics lack of change, too monotonous.

And when the team from front to back, everyone around the frontcourt superstars to play, it also severely limits the players' thinking on the field, the reason is very simple, pass the ball to the frontcourt superstars It's finished.

what? Free to play?

Nimei, isn't that robbing the frontcourt superstars?

Why are there so many supporting actors who performed quite brilliantly, but in the end they missed the Oscar for best supporting role?

Just because you grabbed the show!

The same is true in a team, the supporting role is to be able to set off the protagonist, willing to be a green leaf, not to grab the show.

To put it simply, you are more sure to play this kick yourself, but you have to pass it to me.

Why?

Because you are a supporting role!

With such a division of labor, the Real Madrid players will definitely be restricted in their thoughts of playing, and there is no way to play freely.

As a professional player, with Real Madrid's salary, the player's idea is very simple, since your team decides to do this, then I will do my part. Whatever you arrange, I will play.

This leads to the lack of creativity of Real Madrid players and the lack of vitality of the team.

On the other hand, Southampton, the team does not have to rely on a certain player. The tridents in the frontcourt are all superstars, but they also have to invest in counter-robbing and defense. The midfielders Di Maria and Pogba, and even Tony. Cross is also able to actively participate in the offense and give play to his own characteristics and advantages.

Southampton's entire team has three lines, kept tight and coordinated, but at the same time there is no clear division of labor. Whoever seizes the opportunity will go. This kind of team, this kind of tactics, is too dynamic.

And Ancelotti is too familiar with Real Madrid.

The Italians' starting tactics in this game are very clear. They will press as soon as they come up. They will press high and they will also be very targeted and purposeful.

That's pinching Modric!

It should be said that, as a midfielder who has been heavily introduced by Real Madrid, Modric is the only player in the Real Madrid midfielder with creativity and ability to comb the midfield.

Ancelotti focused on pinching Modric, and the intention was obvious.

I messed up your midfield, no matter how many stars you have in the frontcourt, it's just a decoration.

Zidane naturally saw this too, so he frowned.

"Would you like to adjust it and bring James Rodriguez back?" Bettoni asked.

James Rodríguez can play the front flank or midfield. If he retreats, he can share Modric's defensive pressure to a certain extent and control the midfield.

"Ancelotti is eager for us to do this." Zidane also has his own worries.

"Why?" Betoni didn't understand.

Zidane sneered coldly. "When James Rodriguez came back, our route from midfield to the frontcourt was broken, and we had to pass a long pass to Lewandowski and Gareth Bale ."

When he said this, Bertoni immediately understood.

When James Rodriguez came back, Ancelotti must have a way to restrain.

It should even be said that he has prepared the routine a long time ago, and it is no problem to pinch Modric and James Rodríguez at the same time, forcing Real Madrid to make it difficult to play the ball in the midfield, even if it is barely a ball, how to get to the frontcourt?

Can only rely on long passes.

But everyone knows that long passes and wide passes are not very efficient when faced with this rigorous defensive system.

"This old fox!" Bettoni snorted twice, but he was helpless.

He is a qualified supporting role, but does not have much in-depth knowledge of football.

Therefore, even if you know the problem, there is nothing wrong, you can only look at Zidane beside him.

The Real Madrid coach frowned and stared at the stadium. Southampton's players played fiercely and fiercely. They pulled up the rhythm from the beginning, and Real Madrid was simply struggling to deal with it.

In this case, Southampton has an overwhelming advantage.

But Real Madrid is not completely without the opportunity. The Saints’ defense is very close. As long as they can pass the ball and create opportunities for counterattacks on the flank, with the abilities of Gareth Bale and Lewandowski, Fully capable of creating threats.

Zidane knows very well that this is a bet.

The bet is right, Real Madrid scores and the game is easy to play.

If the bet is lost, if the Saints advance the ball, then Real Madrid's game may be over.

Real Madrid has always been lack of patience and easy to be anxious. Once the away goal is first lost, then this game, or even the two rounds, may be finished.

But sometimes, the head coach just wants to have such a gamble!

Zidane gritted his teeth, he bet this hand!

…………

…………

"He will gamble!"

Ancelotti sat in the coach seat of the home team, looked at Zidane in the coach seat of the visiting team with a slight smile, and said with a smile.

His tone is very determined, which is hard to believe.

"Why?" Xiao An Pang asked concerned.

He didn't understand, he had already been pressed and beaten by Southampton, the situation was so dangerous, Zidane would not retreat?

"I know him, and I know his character. Taking a gamble at this time may not be without a chance, but if he doesn't gamble on this one, then he might not even have a chance."

Ancelotti said here, he smiled, like coach Ansi in the slam dunk.

"Zinedine Zidane was under too much pressure, but Real Madrid's overall strength failed to meet the expectations of the management and the fans, so it was difficult for him to do it. If he was desperate to prove himself, he had to come up with some results and beat Southampton. Can establish his position in a battle, so he will gamble!"

After listening to Fatty An, he couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"I'm telling you that if you are fighting for the overall strength of the football match, then the targeted tactics are more popular. As long as you capture the opponent's mind, you will be invincible!"

When Ancelotti said this, there was a cold look in his eyes.

This is really rare for Fatty An, who has always been gentle.

Obviously, he wants to prove himself, wants to prove himself in Real Madrid.

…………

…………

As the game just started, Southampton was heavily pressed, and Real Madrid was very passive on the scene.

But in this quarter, Zidane, as the head coach, did not make adjustments and changes. Even if he walked to the sidelines, he was just calling for players to press more and pass the ball forward.

Southampton's high-ranking press gave Real Madrid a crushing advantage. The Galacticos had to enter a defensive state from the very beginning, because they found that the opponent's press and pressure were not generally ruthless, but very ruthless.

This ruthlessness of the saints is reflected in the investment as well as the pertinence.

That's the point of pinching Modric.

As soon as the Croatian gets the ball, there must be players from Southampton around. As long as he hesitates a little, even if the stop is slightly larger, or a teammate waiting for a response, he will be immediately close to the body, or even steal the ball.

This caused great trouble for Modric.

He tried to get rid of it, but as long as the ball was slow, the surrounding Southampton players immediately doubled, making it difficult for him to have the direction and opportunity to play the ball.

Through such a very high-intensity press and oppression, Real Madrid's entire attack was trapped in a dilemma.

As soon as all players receive the ball, the priority is no longer how to pass forward, but how to ensure that the ball is not lost.

As for passing, more depends on long passes.

But how many threats can such blind long passes create?

The answer is almost zero!

Conversely, when Southampton was attacking with the ball, Di Maria and Pogba both actively pressed and pulled to the wings to create a numerical advantage for the two wingers, and also for Messi and Argentina. Zal and Suarez created the opportunity to face the Real Madrid centre-back directly.

To put it simply, Di Maria and Pogba are like two decoys, seduce Casemiro and Modric to leave the middle, and then let teammates such as Messi, Hazard and Suarez transfer to the middle to create threats.

Judging from the process of the game ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Southampton's opening tactics worked very well.

Not only was the pace of the game set very fast from the beginning, Real Madrid was exhausted, and the players’ investment in the game was also quite high, very active, strong in tactical execution, and cooperative and tacit, making Southampton not only occupy an overwhelming position. Advantages also frequently create threats.

Almost from the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's entire defense line was under tremendous offensive pressure, especially the two central defenders, Ramos and Pepe.

But even so, there is still danger in the restricted area of ​​Real Madrid, and there is a lot of noise in front of the door.

But the coach Zidane still has not made adjustments.

Maybe he's still betting, or maybe he thinks it's a bit unreasonable to adjust his tactics in the first few minutes.

But in any case, Real Madrid finally revealed its flaws!
