All-around center

"It's useful! It's useful! It's really useful!"

Suk shouted excitedly.

Other Real Madrid players also rushed over, and they hugged and celebrated together.

At the Camp Nou, Barcelona fans held their heads in their hands.

Barcelona made a mistake!

Moreover, under the pressure exerted by Real Madrid in 17 minutes, a low-end error occurred, which was something unimaginable before.

You can throw the ball!

Can be robbed!

But you can’t make a mistake!

Once you make a mistake, it means something is wrong.

"Five minutes of extremely fierce confrontation. In the end, Real Madrid's pressure forced Barcelona to make a mistake, and Kaka assisted Suker to score the goal."

"This was a fierce midfield confrontation. Neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid wanted to take a step back. They finally decided the winner of this confrontation!"

On the sidelines, Mourinho also clenched his fists hard.

Done!

This is what he wants to see.

Force Barcelona to make a mistake!

"It was called an unsolvable pass, but there was a mistake?" Faria also said in surprise.

In response, Mourinho sneered: "There are no unsolvable tactics, it's just that the pressure exerted is not enough."

"Even if Barcelona presses to a certain threshold, they will make mistakes!"

"Passing and controlling football is indeed the most labor-saving tactic to win the game. If you want to break the passing and controlling football, just like just now, the defender has to spend 2-3 times the physical energy to close the ball, apply pressure, and pull the opponent to the same level. The extreme state, and after Pintus’ training, we performed better at the extreme state, so we seized this opportunity!”

Mourinho clenched his fists hard: "We have worked hard for this opportunity, and this is the best reward!"

Phew~~~~~

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Barcelona are too confident. They thought that no one could push them to the limit in their own passing mode. They never thought that someone would give 2-3 times the physical energy. To suppress them and force them to make mistakes!”

Faria: "If you force the opponent to make a mistake, if you don't score a goal."

Mourinho; "So we need a shooter in the absolute sense! It just so happens that we have the best one!"

Guardiola frowned.

He turned to look at Mourinho.

When did Real Madrid become so capable?

And the performance under extreme conditions is also great.

Barcelona conceded the first goal, which is not good news.

Moreover, judging from the performance of Real Madrid players, they not only performed well at the extreme state of sports, but also their physical recovery ability was excellent.

"It feels like after every breath, the muscles can gain enough strength!" Benzema shook his leg.

It's an exaggeration to say that, but it's true.

Training with oxygen-blocking masks not only greatly enhanced their endurance and extreme sports performance, but also accelerated their physical recovery.

Although it cannot be said that the level of Iron Man per capita is very good, it is enough.

"Continue the pressure?"

Benzema said enthusiastically.

Alonso said angrily: "A few more times, can you bear it?"

Benzema: "I feel okay."

Kaka waved his hand; "Let's be steady first. The season hasn't started yet. Now is not the time for us to fully exert our strength. We mainly focus on defense. Now we are leading away from home and have a big advantage. It is Barcelona who should be anxious. We Defend well and look for counterattacks in their attacks.”

Everyone nodded.

Both sides return to their respective halves.

Barcelona players prepare for kick-off.

At this time, the Barcelona players looked serious.

Obviously, they have experienced Real Madrid's pressing ability.

To be honest, even if Real Madrid uses it again, they still can't stop it even though they know it.

As for the absolute value of physical fitness, if it doesn’t work, it just won’t work!

But they were lagging behind and could only strengthen their offense.

They already lost to Real Madrid last season, and it was a double-win in the season.

They don't want to lose again!

"In the 17th minute, Real Madrid took the lead with Suker's goal. Suker's performance is still so outstanding, helping Real Madrid score the leading goal at the beginning of the season!"

Gonzalez marveled.

Last season, Suker won the three golden boots of La Liga, Champions League and World Cup.

This guy's offensive finishing ability is getting more and more terrifying.

Beep!

The whistle blows and the game starts again.

After Barcelona lost the ball, they played more proactively.

They want to equalize the score or even reverse the situation.

Real Madrid also retreated to half-court defense, but Real Madrid's defense was not purely passive defense.

On the basis of positional warfare, they will also add pressing elements.

But it's not a high-position press, but using the numerical advantage to interfere with the opponent's pass in their own half.

In Mourinho's team, every player has a defensive responsibility.

Even if you are a forward, even if you are Su Ke, you still have to defend and press!

Of course, Suk's position will not retreat excessively.

Moreover, his and Kaka's tasks are not to be the main defensive force, but more to assist in zone defense and pressurize.

Benzema pressed the back line.

If conditions permit, he can become a sharp knife.

If the conditions are not enough, he can also open up a counterattack path for Suk and Kaka.

Barcelona is attacking, and the pressure is also on Real Madrid's defense.

This is also a test for them.

Real Madrid has a pretty good offense.

But their defense can't be too stretched.

Even though they were formed not long ago, they are still unfamiliar with each other.

But the advantage is that they are willing to talk.

"Don't take it, leave it to Alonso!"

"Serna, don't make any moves, I'll help you keep an eye on the bottom line!"

"Marcelo! First place!"

"Beautiful! Pepe!"

The four kings of Real Madrid's defense constantly communicate with each other, share information, and strive to become closer to each other.

Only if they are an absolute group, the defensive intensity will increase.

Mourinho also looked at the defense line who were actively communicating with each other and nodded inconspicuously.

It took a season for Ramos to transform, but he has been in a period of confusion, not knowing how to develop his own style.

In this regard, Mourinho had a detailed communication with him and also gave him a lot of opinions.

Pepe is a powder keg. Mourinho gives more encouragement and recognition, and leaves the suppression to Su Ke.

Marcelo has stronger abilities on the offensive end.

Of course, the defensive ability is also good.

Srna was trained by Mourinho, and his ability is absolutely trustworthy.

And for Srna, whether it is offense or defense, his absolute ability is not that top-notch.

But he can be a good glue and make this group stronger.

This is also the reason why Mourinho gave up Arbeloa and chose Srna.

Although this defensive line combination has not become that strong yet, their potential is visible to the naked eye.

As long as you polish it well, you will definitely be able to hit the top defense!

Once the defense is stabilized!

Then with Real Madrid's counterattack ability, they can take off and even hit the historical team lineup.

"It's been 42 minutes. Real Madrid has withstood Barcelona's attacks again and again, and the game is about to enter the halftime period."

Three minutes later, the first half ended.

Currently, Barcelona is trailing Real Madrid 0:1!

At the end of the first half, players from both sides quickly returned to the locker room.

"Barcelona is currently one goal behind, and they are still behind at home, which is very unfavorable for their situation. Mourinho's Real Madrid has brought a lot of trouble to Guardiola and Barcelona. Barcelona must make some changes. Guardiola must activate Messi too!”

"As for Real Madrid, I'm also looking forward to the madman from Portugal, how he will respond to the second half of the game!"

In the Barcelona dressing room, Guardiola said solemnly:

"This is not the performance we should perform. I know you have a certain psychological burden, but you can't be discouraged here!"

"This Real Madrid team is indeed very unfamiliar to us. Compared with last season, they have a stronger integrity, but when it comes to integrity, we will not lose to them!"

"guys!"

Guardiola clapped his hands and said: "Cheer up and let's get the situation back!"

Seeing the fighting spirit in everyone's eyes, Guardiola continued this time; "This Real Madrid is strong in the combination of two wings. Suker and Kaká are swinging left and right, which makes us dizzy, but we don't have to go head-to-head with them. Since we can't limit their wings in a short time, let's change our tactics!"

"Real Madrid wants to play on the wing, so we will switch to playing on the central axis. In the second half, Messi will drop back and play as a central midfielder."

Guardiola looked at Messi and said: "I took you out of the frontcourt, gave you enough opportunities to control the ball, and lowered the restrictions. You need to take on the work of attacking and advancing!"

"Leo, you have to show your performance and revitalize our offense!"

Inside the Real Madrid dressing room.

"Barcelona feels very unfamiliar to us, and they don't have many options. They just increase Messi's tactical resources and add weight, but this is still not stable enough. Once Messi fails to perform, their plan will be disrupted! "

Mourinho patted the tactical board: "So, Guardiola may take Messi out of the frontcourt, change the formation, and let Xavi, Iniesta and Messi form the passing control hub in the midfield. This will ensure the attack on the central axis!”

"Once this happens, we must adopt a more intensive defense on the defensive end to prevent the opponent from penetrating, and at the same time pull the offense from the side to the central axis!"

"Since they want to play with us on the central axis, then we will go head-to-head with them!"

Hearing this, the Real Madrid players looked serious.

Mourinho turned to look at Kaka: "Kaka, if Barcelona makes a change, in the second half, you will play as a central midfielder. The two defensive midfielders will be Khedira and Alonso, Suker will play the center forward, and Dia Pulling off the field, Di Maria plays forward on the right, and then on the left."

Mourinho paused for a moment, his eyes looking at Higuain.

The current Real Madrid, when Suker plays center, will lack a breakthrough point on the left wing.

Higuain is also looking forward to seeing Mourinho.

At this time, Mourinho said: "Karim, you come and play on the left!"

Benzema perked up and immediately nodded to express his understanding.

His position is interchangeable with Su Ke's.

On the other hand, Higuain's face froze and he clenched his fists fiercely.

Let Benzema play on the wing and not let himself play?

What on earth is this Portuguese thinking?

After completing the tactical arrangement, Mourinho let the players rest and walked to the side.

Assistant coach Faria came over. He first glanced at Higuain, who had his head lowered, and asked Mourinho: "Aren't you going to use Higuain?"

Mourinho took a sip of water: "I don't plan to use him until he understands!"

Faria sighed.

Higuain is indeed a good player, but he cannot find his position.

Benzema is very smart. He knows that Real Madrid can only have one absolute core, so he volunteered to play support.

But Higuain wants to be a shooter!

This is no less than saying that he wants to compete with Suker for the right to score goals.

Generally, head coaches encourage this kind of competition.

But Su Ke is too important, and there is no need to prove his ability.

What does Higuain have to argue with him?

"Then why don't you remind him?" Faria said; "What if he understands and accepts the adjustment?"

Mourinho smiled; "Why should I remind him? Does he have anything worthy of my investment? There is no need for me to waste my time here."

Mourinho shook his head and patted Faria on the shoulder:

"Rui, you are a youth training coach, so you incorporate a lot of youth training ideas into the training of players, but this is the first team, and it is also a wealthy club!"

Mourinho said seriously: "No one will be responsible for Higuain. He can only be responsible for himself."

"Are you having trouble because you can't kick the shooter? Then let him get out. This is not a place for children to make trouble. Opportunities are earned by yourself, and how to create opportunities is also a problem that he needs to think about. No one will help him!"

"To me," Mourinho said solemnly: "He is just a commodity! If it doesn't work, then I will spend money to replace it. It's a simple reason!"

Mourinho expressed the cruel rules in professional teams in the most straightforward terms.

In this regard, Faria could only sigh.

He felt that Higuain should not waste everything, but he could not deny the expression in Mourinho's words.

Halftime is over.

The two sides returned to the court.

Barcelona made adjustments at halftime.

Keita goes off, Bojan comes on

Their formation also changed to 4-2-3-1!

Midfielder: Iniesta, Busquets, Messi, Xavi, Bojan.

Forward: Villa.

Seeing this scene, Mourinho's brows relaxed slightly.

It was quite different from what he expected. Without understanding Real Madrid's current tactical system, this was indeed the best choice.

I just got caught by myself!

"Di Maria! Go warm up!"

Mourinho shouted calmly.

Di Maria immediately got up and ran out to warm up.

On the other hand, Higuain pursed his lips and looked at Mourinho with a trace of hatred.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

After Messi retreated, Barcelona increased the control of the midfield.

At the same time, it also makes its own offense more aggressive, frequently threatening Real Madrid's defense.

In this regard, Mourinho had a dull expression.

Compared to Guardiola, his mentality is calmer.

This game is about training and looking for problems.

Winning is certainly a good thing, but more importantly, finding problems is the main thing.

For example, in the first half of the game, he discovered some defensive problems.

Diarra's filling awareness is not enough!

After Marcelo attacked, his retracement speed was a bit slow.

Pepe is too easy to steal.

Even Pepe and Ramos will compete together!

Casillas talks too little. As a goalkeeper, standing at the back of the team, he has the broadest view and should always remind his teammates of their positions.

Srna's problem is not big.

It's just that I don't dare to take the initiative. Maybe it's because I just joined and I want a more stable performance.

And these all require him to adjust slowly.

In the 50th minute, taking advantage of a dead ball, Real Madrid made substitutions.

"Real Madrid made substitutions, but what is surprising is that Mourinho did not choose to strengthen the defense, but removed Diarra and replaced him with Di Maria?"

Real Madrid formation:

Midfielder: Di Maria, Khedira, Kaka, Alonso, Benzema.

Forward: Su Ke.

Mourinho's expression remained calm. He heard the commentator's slightly surprised voice on the radio.

He feels that many people misunderstand him.

He doesn't like to defend, but likes to win.

His goal is not to defend, but to win!

Just like now, targeted substitutions can be made even if they are not defensive players, because it is better to win the game this way.

The purpose of defense should not be to defend.

Just like the purpose of offense is to score goals.

And all this is in the service of victory!

Kaka moved to the central midfielder position and stood in the middle. His vision became wider and he had more options for playing the ball and attacking.

Kaka prefers this place to the wing.

Of course, Suk was standing in front of him!

Mourinho grinned.

You have the central axis of Messi and Villa.

And we are Kaka + Suk!

See who is tougher than who!

Guardiola touched his bald head, his lips kept moving, and he was silently cursing Mourinho.

Fell into a trap!

Real Madrid's formation can still change so much!

And from the perspective of offense and counterattack, this lineup is more threatening!

The most important thing is that Mourinho is trying to compete with them for control of the central axis.

Messi versus Kaká?

Guardiola felt a little uneasy.

He is confident in Messi's talent, but Kaka is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After this guy's successful transformation, his performance in the midfield became even better.

Su Ke is also in the frontcourt to provide support. Once they are matched up, the impact that these two people can unleash will be extremely terrifying.

And there are Di Maria and Benzema on the wing to support them.

On the counter-attack, the full-backs can move forward at any time.

Guardiola had a terrible headache.

When did Real Madrid's offense become so sharp?

In the past, it was just Su Ke!

Now we have a hundred flowers blooming!
