All-around center

"I feel like I'm going to die!"

"I have no confidence anymore!"

"How to defend against this combination?"

Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo were dejected.

Since the first day of the match, they have been inspected by the terrifying combination of Suk and Kaka every day.

Su Ke is difficult enough to defend on his own.

Now add another Kaka!

Marcelo even gave him the nickname ‘Ankle Terminator’. His continuous changes of direction under rapid dribbling put high demands on his own ankles, and it was also a cruel test for the defender’s ankles.

Arbeloa didn't even last until the end of the training period when Kaká's continuous abnormal changes of direction caused him to sprain his ankle.

The most important thing is that during the whole process, Aveiroa did not touch Kaká.

Except for Aveiroa, it belongs to Srna.

"Dario, are you okay?"

Ramos turned his head and expressed concern.

Since the first day of the match, Srna has been crotched by Suk every day.

In a week, he didn't know how many times he was passed by Su Ke.

People who wear crotch wear are stupid!

"Why can't I control my broken legs?"

Sirna's eyes were red and bloodshot.

In fact, he looked at his right leg full of hatred.

Hiss~~~

Marcelo took a breath and shook his head; "Crazy!"

"So, how long will this training last? I can't hold on anymore!"

Pepe complained.

Being abused every day, I can only passively defend myself.

If this continues, sooner or later he will be kicked out of his wits.

The first week is a physical test.

Pintus tortured their bodies in the most brutal ways.

The third week is a psychological test.

If your mental quality is not good, you may collapse directly.

"Are they okay?"

Assistant coach Faria said worriedly.

From the first day of the third week, Mourinho conducted abnormal defensive training on Real Madrid's defense.

I suffer the ravages of the Suk + Kaka combination almost every day.

In this case, their progress was also rapid.

However, there may be some mental problems!

"We can still chat, it's okay!" Mourinho said calmly; "Next week, I will find a relatively weaker opponent to let them regain their confidence!"

"Will the warm-up match start next week?" Faria asked.

Mourinho nodded; "Three warm-up games, and then the Spanish Super Cup. After the Super Cup, the new season will start in a week!"

"After a total of four weeks and nearly a month of training, our team has begun to take shape. Although there are still some rough spots, these will have to be slowly broken through the game and are all details."

"Isn't it enough?" Faria shook his head and said; "I feel that compared to Inter Milan, Real Madrid's defense is only one step behind!"

In one month, Real Madrid's defense was almost completely transformed by Mourinho.

This is already quite remarkable.

"Not enough!" Mourinho said coldly; "Far from enough!"

If Mourinho wanted to form a top team at the beginning, now he has changed his mind.

After watching the combination of Suker and Kaká, Mourinho was greatly shocked by the impact of this counterattack.

Such a powerful counterattack combination must be matched with the strongest defense line!

Only in this way is it not considered a waste of natural resources!

Mourinho and Ancelotti are not the same type of coaches.

But Mourinho agreed with Ancelotti's words.

Offense relies on talent, defense relies on discipline.

in other words.

Offense is innate, and it is difficult to acquire top offensive configurations through hard training.

On the other hand, defense is different.

Through hard training and good discipline, a top defense can be formed.

And now Real Madrid already has the best counterattack combination.

A spear strong enough to penetrate any copper or iron wall!

But now they need the strongest shield!

Mourinho used to like the strongest shield, but now, he wants both.

He wants to create a historic lineup!

Thinking of this, Mourinho took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the training ground.

"Tell Karim to come to me!"

Faria nodded; "Okay!"

Benzema walked to Mourinho's office with trepidation.

He didn't know what Mourinho meant by looking for him.

But being called over alone by the head coach is mostly not good news.

But no matter how hard Benzema racked his brains, he couldn't figure out where he had provoked Mourinho recently.

On the contrary, he has been training very hard and conscientiously recently. His performance in the competition was not outstanding, but it was not inferior.

However, the light of Suk and Kaka was too dazzling, covering up all this!

Benzema came to Mourinho's office and knocked on the door gently.

Boom!

"Please come in!"

Benzema pushed open the door and entered.

"gentlemen!"

Benzema shouted respectfully.

Mourinho was sitting on his desk, looking at a document, and pointed to the guest sofa.

"Sit down for a while!"

Benzema nodded and sat down on the sofa.

About two minutes later, Mourinho walked to the sofa.

"The recent training has been very hard, right? But it's all for our honor."

Benzema's heart trembled: "It's not hard! I can feel that I am becoming stronger and braver!"

Mourinho smiled and said: "Then I'm relieved. Would you like some coffee?"

Benzema felt uneasy, but still whispered: "Thank you!"

"You don't have to be so polite." Mourinho personally poured the coffee for Benzema and handed it to him with a smile; "I hope the relationship between us will be closer and we will be honest with each other like friends!"

I believe it!

Benzema complained in his heart, but still smiled on the surface: "A relaxed atmosphere can promote the spiritual attributes of the team!"

Mourinho smiled and nodded. He took a sip of coffee and slowly put it down.

"Karim"

Benzema pursed his lips.

coming!

"What do you think your place is on this team?"

Boom!

Boom!

Benzema's heart beat violently.

He knows that his answer is related to his future development in Real Madrid, and even to his main position.

The usual answer would be 'obey orders'.

But Mourinho obviously won't like this answer.

According to Benzema's understanding, Mourinho has a very extreme personality.

This kind of person will not like ambiguous answers, let alone flattery.

What he needs is a positive reply!

Thinking of this, Benzema gritted his teeth.

"Fulcrum!"

Well.

Mourinho groaned, and Benzema's heart almost exploded.

After a moment, Mourinho smiled and said, "It seems you took the tactics class seriously!"

pass!

Benzema is elated.

"I am also part of this team and I will try my best."

Mourinho smiled and nodded, and he changed into a more comfortable position.

This convinced Benzema that he had passed.

This is what Mourinho plans to talk to himself about.

Sure enough, Mourinho said:

"I plan to let Su Ke and Kaka serve as two wingers, and the center position needs a fulcrum. The function of this fulcrum is to continuously expand the tactical characteristics of these two wingers. You know what I mean, right?"

Benzema nodded immediately.

To put it bluntly, it means letting yourself do the dirty work and the tiring work.

Pivot shift!

Run on empty to gain distance!

Attract the defense's attention, etc.

Seeing Benzema doing so well, Mourinho was also happy.

He likes to interact with smart people, which does not require him to talk too much nonsense.

"In my tactics, Su Ke and Kaká are two offensive points on the wing. Their movement may squeeze your space, and you may need to sacrifice something at that time."

"It doesn't matter!"

"And when attacking from the wing, the characteristics of the two wings will also be fully unfolded! Su Ke on the left and Kaká on the right will form a linkage attack, and when they shrink the midfield to meet Alonso, our wing Defenders Marcelo and Srna can cover the sides at any time!”

"The important thing is the five-way attack!"

Mourinho pulled out a tactical board, pointed to the position on it and said:

"Left wing, left rib, center, right rib, right wing!"

"When the wingers shrink, the full-backs rim!"

"You are positioned as a false nine. In the next warm-up match, I will focus on observing your performance. Don't let me down!"

Benzema nodded immediately: "Don't worry, sir!"

Mourinho smiled and nodded; "You can go and call Higuain for me!"

After walking out of Mourinho's office, closing the door, Benzema leaned against the wall and exhaled slowly.

The most difficult level is over!

He guessed Mourinho's idea, and at the same time guaranteed his status, and left a good impression on Mourinho.

This is a very critical thing.

Five minutes later, Higuain knocked on the door of Mourinho's office.

Facing Higuain, Mourinho raised the same question.

"Higuain, what do you think your position is on the team?"

"Shooter!"

Mourinho: ".Do you accept the transfer?"

Higuain said seriously: "I am a natural shooter. I think you can trust me. As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely give you generous rewards!"

Mourinho nodded; "I understand, you can go!"

Higuain was stunned for a moment, then he blinked and said, "Is there anything else?"

Mourinho shook his head; "No more!"

"Okay!" Higuain turned around and left, Mourinho always had a smile on his face.

When Higuain walked out of the room, the smile on Mourinho's face disappeared.

He put an X on Higuain's profile.

"idiot!"

In one day, Mourinho talked to almost everyone in the first team except for a few players.

Some of them are as exciting as Benzema.

There are also stupid guys like Higuain.

Of course there are some who are ignorant.

For example, Di Maria.

"How did you answer?"

On the way back, Suk asked.

Di Maria drove the car: "I said I would accept any arrangement, and then my husband told me his tactical ideas and informed me that I might have to play as a substitute!"

Di Maria was a little discouraged.

In response, Sirna said: "Don't worry, you passed the test!"

Suk asked; "What did you say?"

Srna; "If you explain the tactics in detail, you will basically be the main force."

Di Maria thought about it for a moment: "It doesn't seem too detailed."

"In this case, he is a substitute, but the substitute ranking is very high, and there are many opportunities to play in the game. If the main player is injured, he will be replaced immediately. There are also many opportunities in the cup, including the Champions League and the league!"

Srna continued; "If you don't explain the tactics and give some encouragement, you are just waiting for the opportunity."

"The worst thing is not to say anything."

"What does this mean?" Suk asked.

Srna; "If there is a purge plan, or the club is short of money, then he will be the first to leave!"

Di Maria breathed a sigh of relief; "I'm in the second gear! It's not bad."

Suk pointed at himself and asked, "What about someone like me? He didn't even scream!"

Kaka turned his head and echoed; "It's so disturbing!"

They were the only two people who were not called over.

Srna rolled his eyes.

These two are called ‘core’!

There is no need to shout at all!

Because everyone wants to play football around them!

At the beginning of the fourth week, Real Madrid entered the warm-up match.

This is also the last opportunity to adjust before the season.

Make adjustments in practice!

After three weeks of training, it was finally time to kick off the competition. It was not a good choice to focus on building a car.

Mourinho has picked three different grades for Real Madrid. Different styles of opponents.

The first opponent is Feyenoord from the Eredivisie.

The second opponent is Porto from the Portuguese Super League.

The third opponent is Inter Milan from Serie A.

These three opponents are all opponents Mourinho has personally sought out.

In fact, Mourinho's second opponent is planning to find Arsenal.

However, Arsenal did not accept the warm-up match with Real Madrid and finally chose Porto.

Since Feyenoord has a warm-up match in the near future, all members of Real Madrid took the initiative to go to the Netherlands for a warm-up match.

Feyenoord is also preparing for this game.

After all, this is a rare opportunity to face the top giants and test your own skills.

For this game, Mourinho has no intention of letting go.

In the first half, the game was played directly with all the main players.

The starting lineup for both sides is as follows:

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Khedira, Alonso, Diarra.

Forwards: Kaka, Benzema, Suker.

Feyenoord (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Van Dijk.

Defenders: De Vrij, Riordan, Bahia, Dekler.

Midfielder: Mostejo, Fell, Wijnaldum, Bruins.

Forwards: Cabral, Casteño.

Feyenoord Stadium.

Feyenoord players gather together during the warm-up session.

"So nervous!"

“I didn’t expect to get an appointment with Real Madrid in the warm-up match!”

"I wonder if Mourinho will like me!"

"Forget it, if it's Wijnaldum it's more of the same!"

Everyone turned to look at Wijnaldum, a young player with dreadlocks and dark skin.

This is a young player who is hailed as the star of hope for the Netherlands.

Since joining Feyenoord in 2007 and embarking on a professional career, he has continuously demonstrated his wonderful performance and outstanding talent.

It is a pity that Feyenoord is not qualified to participate in the Champions League, and this talented young player has no chance to play against top teams.

"They will be shocked!"

Feyenoord's players are very confident in Wijnaldum.

Young Wijnaldum is also looking at Real Madrid.

With that pure white jersey, this is the wealthy team that countless young people aspire to.

A club where Suker, Kaká, Alonso, Benzema, Ramos, Srna, Casillas and many other stars gather.

Wijnaldum's eyes were full of excitement, he was about to compete with this top giant.

At the same time, Wijnaldum stared at Suk.

Su Ke listened to Mourinho's instructions with his hands on his hips, his expression extremely serious.

At this moment, Su Ke scratched his head and felt a burning gaze.

He turned and looked over.

Wijnaldum was startled, his eyes became evasive, his hands were hurriedly nowhere to be placed, and his whole person looked extremely panicked.

In the end, Wijnaldum felt like he shouldn't be so timid.

He turned to look at Suk and showed a very embarrassed smile.

Suk raised an eyebrow.

This is meeting a fanboy!

Suk blinked towards Wijnaldum and discharged.

I'll stun you!

"That's it, don't hold anything back in the first half, show the results as much as possible, make big substitutions in the second half, and have the opportunity to make adjustments in the warm-up match!"

After Mourinho finished speaking, the Real Madrid players began to walk onto the court.

On the other side, Feyenoord players also came to the stadium.

Both sides line up and the warm-up match starts at any time.

"Wijnaldum, it's up to you!"

"Show them something awesome!"

"Hey! Your idol is right across the street, be good!"

The Feyenoord players said this partly in ridicule and partly in encouragement.

Wijnaldum was also in good spirits.

He must have something to show for himself.

"It's messy!"

"Press up! Press up!"

"Come on!"

Feyenoord players charged wildly.

They felt that Real Madrid was nothing more than that. They quickly seized the ball and launched an attack.

Feyenoord's attack was extremely ferocious.

Constantly relying on the wings to open up gaps.

But I can never find a suitable opportunity.

"Isn't it too stable?"

"It's trapped!"

The sidelines looked more anxiously, Feyenoord's substitutes frowned.

It seemed like they were attacking, but they were trapped in their own half by Real Madrid and were strangling them!

Marcelo squatted down slightly and watched Cabral pedaling a bicycle in front of him as if showing off his skills, constantly trying to change directions.

slow!

too slow!

After experiencing Kaka's "naked terminator" change of direction, Cabral's change of direction only had one word.

slow!

Marcelo looked at the opponent calmly, and when Cabral changed direction again, he suddenly squeezed in.

He blocked Cabral behind him, snatched control of the ball, and passed the ball to Alonso.

"Fight back!"

Marcelo yelled.

Alonso received the ball, flicked it horizontally, and immediately twisted and passed the ball.

Benzema retreated directly to open up space. He jumped up slightly and swung the ball directly to the left with a header.

Suk quickly followed up, facing the falling ball, he turned up his instep and gently stepped on it.

The Feyenoord full-back had no time to brake and the ball passed directly over the full-back and fell behind him.

And Su Ke accelerated his feet again, facing the falling ball, turned sideways, swung his left foot suddenly, and passed the ball directly without stopping.

boom!

The ball flew diagonally toward the back of the goal like a sharp sword.

And there.

Under the sound of rapid footsteps, a white figure No. 8 took off lightly and used the arch of his foot to catch the ball.

The ball was directly inserted into the goal.

The whole place was silent for a moment!

Feyenoord players opened their eyes wide and held their heads.

God!

What did they see?

What kind of counterattack is this from Real Madrid?

Starting with Alonso, a total of five shots were completed.

The most critical thing is that in these five passes and counterattacks, the ball never touched the ground.
