From coaching Real Madrid

On the evening of March 28th, Turin Alpi Stadium.

The game has entered the second half, and it will be sixty minutes soon, and the score is still zero to zero.

From the beginning of the second half, Capello has been standing in the command area of ​​the home team's coaching bench, adjusting the team's tactics according to the situation on the field from time to time, especially some of the players' movements and positions.

But tonight, Real Madrid were very tight.

Capello looked up at the time, turned his head, and nodded towards assistant coach Gabbiati in the coaching bench.

Gabbiati immediately walked to the bench, called Mutu's name, and asked him to warm up quickly.

The look on the Juventus assistant coach's face was solemn, and the current situation on the court was not optimistic.

Capello brought two attackers as substitutes, Mutu and Sarayeta. The latter is also 1.88 meters tall. If he were taller, Juventus would have three towers in the frontcourt.

But the biggest problem for Juventus tonight is that they can't get the ball out of the midfield.

…

At the beginning of the first half, Juventus actually played very actively.

The two forwards Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic launched a fierce pressure on Real Madrid's defense, and the team also used active running to quickly pass through the midfield to create threats.

Real Madrid still adopted a four-two-three formation, trying to achieve stability through five midfielders, but the effect was not ideal at first. They were suppressed by Juventus for a few minutes, but Gao Shen quickly made adjustments, especially letting Raul and

Both Beckham pressed forward to contain Zambrotta and Chiellini, plus Negredo suppressed the central defender, and Zidane targeted both defensive midfielders.

As a result, Real Madrid gradually stabilized its position.

After Real Madrid stabilized their position, it became increasingly 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 launch attacks.

Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic have a high ball advantage in the frontcourt. Ramos is not tall and Woodgate has many injuries. As a result, both of them are compared with the two major centers of Juventus.

Suffer.

Gao Shen obviously knows this, so he attaches great importance to the fight for the second spot.

Trezeguet's ability to hold the ball is weak, so Real Madrid controls the second point; Ibrahimovic likes the ball at his feet, and as soon as he takes the ball, there will be at least two or three Real Madrid players surrounding him.

Since Real Madrid's formation is very rigorous, it can effectively control the second point.

The ground advancement is unfavorable and the long pass efficiency is not high. Juventus is also speechless about this.

The data can well reflect Real Madrid's defense tonight.

Throughout the first half, Juventus only had 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 Alpstadion!

But is that all?

Gabbiati always feels that Real Madrid tonight is very strange.

…

When Gabbiati returned to the coaching bench, Capello also walked back from the front, took a sip of hot water, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking somewhat anxious.

"Let Sarayeta warm up later, it will be a tough battle tonight." Capello said solemnly.

Gabbiati nodded, "I always feel that Real Madrid is a little strange."

Capello glanced at his assistant and nodded slightly, "Did you notice?"

Gabbiati was stunned, it turned out that Capello had known about it for a long time.

"Every time we press out to attack, Real Madrid will also press forward, adopt a high defense, suppress our midfield ball through the midfield, and at the same time press our two centers out and stay away from the penalty area, so our shots

The number of times would be so few, but the number of offsides would be so many."

Capello explained this, and Gabbiati immediately understood.

"But," Capello changed the topic, "Every time we retreat appropriately and want Real Madrid to press out and play, they also retreat, so the rhythm on the field becomes very strange, unlike usual.

The game makes a big difference."

When Gabbiati heard this, he suddenly realized.

He finally understood why he felt strange. It turned out to be the rhythm of the game.

When Juventus advances, Real Madrid follows suit; when Juventus retreats, Real Madrid follows suit.

But why play like this?

"Why?" Capello chuckled, "It's very simple, it saves effort when playing like this."

If any team wants to score against Juventus, it must invest in troops and consume a lot of physical energy and running, because Juventus is known for its solid defense.

In other words, after investing a lot of troops and consuming a lot of physical energy, it is still unknown whether he can score a goal.

Gao Shen's approach was that Real Madrid didn't want to score a goal. In addition to seizing opportunities and launching quick counterattacks, the rest of the time they focused on Juventus' advances and retreats to maintain their formation position.

One advantage of doing this is to minimize the player's running and physical consumption.

But the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, unless you seize the opportunity during a quick counterattack, you will not be able to score a goal.

"Is this too conservative?" Gabbiati felt a little funny and thought to himself, no wonder the Spanish media are criticizing him for being conservative. It turns out that he is extremely conservative and does not even dare to attack.

But Gabbiati's ability to become Capello's assistant coach was not a waste of money. He quickly thought more deeply about it.

"I understand, he is preparing for the next El Clasico and the second round."

When Gabbiati thought of this, he felt a little stupid.

Isn’t this too courageous?

Although the Champions League is a two-leg match, how many people have the courage?

Isn’t this something only world-famous coaches dare to do?

"Real Madrid's lineup is so small. Without those Brazilian players, it will be difficult for them to play well in all games. 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 had a headache facing an opponent who was defensively tight and didn't want to win.

As for ugly, Juventus and Real Madrid are evenly matched.

So far, the home team has had 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 move, Felipe suddenly sprinted from the left wing, directly crossed the edge and hit the bottom line. Negredo followed up and headed in close range.

The ball hits the goal.

As a result, Buffon flew out and saved him.

This is also the most threatening offense created by the two teams so far.

Other than that, it's really drowsy.

"Do you know? The pain in the world comes from people not knowing what they want. They always want more, but they don't understand that God has secretly marked a price for everything. How much do you get?

How much will be lost."

When Capello said this, he sighed secretly, "This kid knows what he wants very clearly, and he can resist temptation, so you see, as soon as Real Madrid stepped forward, he shouted to tell the team to go back.

Because he only wanted a zero-to-zero game from beginning to end."

Gabbiati was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Capello would have such a high opinion of Gao Shen.

Gao Shen is really a young man of twenty-five years old?

"Even if this game is really goalless to him, then he is so sure that he can defeat Barcelona in the next El Clasico and beat us at the Bernabeu in the second round?" Gabbiati wondered.

Capello shook his head and smiled, "Who knows? This is the most interesting thing about football, isn't it?"

After a pause, Capello added: "Even if you ask me, if he really forces us to a 0-0 draw in the first round, will we be sure of winning in the second round at the Bernabeu? I can't answer you."

"As head coaches, everything we do and every decision we make is just to help the team to the maximum extent and increase the probability of scoring or winning. There are never absolute two things on the football field.

Character."

Gabbiati nodded, so this was the so-called upset.

A lot of post-game analysis is all about inferring the reasons from the results. There is no such thing as being able to deduce everything from before the game.

"This kid is a bit 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 at it, the more he liked it. He always felt that he had a decisiveness that was incompatible with his age.

"Then what should we do now?" Gabbiati asked, "just let him hold on to the score?"

"He has a great idea!" Capello laughed and scolded, "Let Sarayeta warm up quickly and get ready to play."

…………

…………

Gao Shen stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, staring worriedly at the situation on the field.

Real Madrid players all have an offensive heart, and he was afraid that they would rush out accidentally.

At this time, you can't rush.

Rushing out, scoring goals is very difficult, but the physical exertion is greater. What will you do next to compete with Barcelona and Juventus next Wednesday?

More importantly, he has been observing Juventus' situation, trying to find loopholes and exploit them in the second round.

But he didn't expect that Capello would be so ungrateful.

In the 60th minute, Mutu replaced Camoranesi and played as a left midfielder. Nedved was switched to the right.

Then, he saw Sarayeta running out to warm up.

Five minutes later, Sarayeta replaced Vieira.

"Holy shit, is Capello crazy?" Maqueda shouted in disbelief.

Three centers!

Sarayeta, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic are all hunky men with a height of 1.9 meters.

Gao Shen really had the urge to scold his mother for a moment.

This is a clear case of bullying Real Madrid players for being short, right?

But don't mention it, Real Madrid players suffer physically.

Capello actually had 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 stood in the penalty area, and the high ball flew directly into the sky. Damn, that scene would be like murder and arson!

Gao Shen turned around and glanced at the home team's coaching bench. Capello happened to be looking towards him, and even nodded and smiled at Gao Shen, which made Gao Shen just curse in his heart.

Miscalculated!

Capello is Rijkaard’s mentor!

Are the master and apprentice really planning to join forces to kill me?

How can I say that you are also successful seniors and you are just bullying me, a newcomer?

Do you think it's appropriate?

Will bullying me like this really give you more pleasure?
