From coaching Real Madrid

Before the Derby of the Century, a Catalan media published a mathematical problem.

One Eto'o is equal to three Ronaldos.

Barcelona's 1R is greater than Real Madrid's 4R.

Asking: How much is Barcelona's Ettouga's 1R equal to Real Madrid's?

This question is actually humiliating Real Madrid's superstars.

Eto'o and Ronaldo compare in terms of goals, 1R refers to Ronaldinho, and Real Madrid's 4R refers to Ronaldo, Robinho, Roberto Carlos and Raul.

The implication is that Eto'o and Ronaldinho are worth the entire Real Madrid team.

So what is the so-called Derby of the Century?

Many pro-Real Madrid media, including AS and Marca, were angry at the humiliation of the Catalan media, but their counterattacks seemed so feeble in the face of actual results and performance.

Especially in the first derby of the century between the two sides, the Bernabeu fans stood up and applauded Ronaldinho.

This is equivalent to an official stamp of approval.

Is Ronaldinho really that strong?

Only two minutes and 37 seconds after the whistle blew at Camp Nou, the Brazilian superstar made an incredible straight overhead pass, letting everyone see his strength and his recent excellent form.

This pass passed Real Madrid's three lines of defense and accurately landed in the penalty area.

Casillas gave up the goal decisively, but Eto'o, who came up from the back row, took the lead and shot.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's goalkeeper blocked most of the shooting angles, and Eto'o tried to avoid Casillas' control when he took off, but the ball slipped slightly out of the door.

A false alarm!

But, the whole Camp Nou exploded!

…

"what happened?"

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Gao Shen became angry and rushed to the sidelines to shout angrily.

On the court, Casillas was also furious and roared at Helguera to vent his dissatisfaction.

It was an offside error just now.

Ramos and his teammates were already pressing forward, but Helguera was obviously a step too late. Only then did Eto'o seize the opportunity, successfully countering offside easily, and directly formed a single shot.

Although no goal was scored, Barcelona's first shot of the game directly broke through Real Madrid's defense.

Three lines of defense!

"Ivan, cheer me up!"

"Sergio, please watch carefully."

"And you, David, follow and defend, follow and defend, everyone has gone to the middle, where are you?"

"Zinedine, he is near you, where are you?"

Gao Shen named several players in one breath, including Beckham and Zidane.

The problem exposed in this attack was not only Helguera's failure to call offside, but also Ronaldinho's long pass.

The Brazilian's movement was very smart this time. He retreated from the front, formed a cross move with Van Bronckhorst, then suddenly cut inside and sent a long pass over the top.

He retreated too deep for Arbeloa to catch up, but Beckham did not follow Ronaldinho immediately.

Beckham on the wing did not follow, and Zidane in the center was distracted by Deco and Van Bommel who came in from behind. He did not follow up immediately, so Ronaldinho could start calmly.

Long pass.

From forward to defender, three of Real Madrid's four lines of defense were torn open by Ronaldinho's long pass.

Although it came very suddenly, although no goal was scored, and although the game had just begun, these are not reasons.

If Eto'o seizes the opportunity, Real Madrid will be finished!

Fortunately, Eto'o's scoring form has not been very good recently.

Originally, Gao Shen wanted to have a clash with Barcelona in the opening stage to gain more defensive space for the rest of the game.

But now it seems that he still overestimated Real Madrid's defense.

It's only been over two minutes since the show started, and it's been broken, so what else can we do?

Keep it!

Gao Shen had no choice but to signal the team to retreat and take a tight defensive stance.

He was actually very reluctant to do this because it was too passive.

Barcelona is in very good shape now and the players are very strong, especially Ronaldinho.

Today's Brazilian genius is not the Ronaldinho who has gained weight and cannot run in two years. He is like a mobile card dealer, with a wide range of running, and he can create products no matter where he is.

Make threats.

The most memorable moment in Gao Shen's previous life was Messi's goal.

When Messi came on as a substitute, Ronaldinho told him where to stand, wait for his pass, and then directly hit the goal to score a goal.

What a terrifying personal ability!

The results of it?

Ronaldinho really created such an opportunity for Messi, but to his surprise, Messi didn't score.

The Brazilian genius didn't care and comforted him by saying, "It's okay. I'll give you another one later."

Then, he really gave Messi a shooting opportunity in the same position, and Messi seized it.

This is in La Liga, not a team training, not a torture!

It can be said that Ronaldinho in the past two or three years has been synonymous with unsolvability on the court.

If you want to guard him, it's impossible to rely on just one person, or even just two people.

Because his running range is too large.

…

Gao Shen was angry!

Camp Nou is boiling!

After breaking out in a cold sweat, the Real Madrid players began to gradually enter the state. Especially after Gao Shen decisively took the defensive position, the overall formation remained more compact.

This also allowed Real Madrid to gradually calm down.

After entering the rhythm of the game, Real Madrid's defensive level also began to be reflected.

Gao Shen's targeted defense at Camp Nou is mainly used for cutting. He wants to separate Barcelona's left, center and right lines.

Chief among them is Ronaldinho.

Arbeloa is defending against the Brazilian genius. De La Red and Graveson form a double midfielder. The most important task of the two is to protect the defense. De La Red must pay special attention to Ronaldinho's lateral movement.

Cut inside.

After the Brazilian genius cuts inside, whether he goes straight to Eto'o or passes diagonally to Larsson, this is Barcelona's regular tactic.

He can even cross the ball to the front of the penalty area, allowing Deco, Iniesta or Van Bommel to step in from behind.

In yesterday's targeted drill, Gao Shen let Robinho play the role of Ronaldinho to help the team practice this targeted defense, especially the central protection of De La Red and Graveson.

, crucial.

Beckham was responsible for containing Van Bronckhorst, Zidane suppressed Van Bommel, and Raul kept an eye on Belletti.

Since Eto'o is not good at connecting the left and right flanks, and Larsson is only good at scoring goals and running positions, after Ronaldinho is locked, Barcelona's center and right attacks can only produce the most effective results.

Big discount.

More can only create threats through long-range shots.

Barcelona had difficulty breaking into Real Madrid's penalty area. In the first ten minutes, they only managed their second shot through Van Bommel's long shot.

In the 13th minute, Eto'o's long shot from the left edge of the penalty area failed to pose a threat.

Just three minutes later, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball inward, broke through Dela Red and then forced his kick. He hit a long shot from a position of more than 20 meters, but Ramos blocked it from the penalty area.

Can threaten the goal.

Real Madrid also took advantage of Van Bommel's foul on Beckham in the 17th minute, resulting in a free kick in the frontcourt.

But Beckham made a wonderful pass and Ramos successfully headed the header, and the shot went slightly wide.

There is a very obvious difference between Rijkaard's Barcelona and Guardiola's Barcelona. Although they also counterattack on the spot after losing the ball, the intensity is not as strong as that of the Dream Team 3. Instead, they switch from offense to defense.

Return to your position immediately and organize a tight defense.

The advantage of this is that when Real Madrid switches from defense to offense, Barcelona has already organized a tight defensive formation, but the disadvantage is that when Real Madrid switches from defense to offense, the pressure they receive will be smaller.

Twenty minutes later, Gao Shen saw Real Madrid stabilizing its defense and signaled the players to play as fast as they could when switching from defense to offense, but not to hold the ball as quickly as possible and advance slowly.

In the 21st minute, Real Madrid stole the ball and advanced across the center line. They encountered Barcelona's pressing and interception. Felipe quickly inserted from the left. After receiving Zidane's pass, he quickly covered the side and went down to the left side of the penalty area.

, kicking the ball low and passing the ball.

Raul and Negredo both responded in the middle, but failed to catch up with the pass and were blocked by Puyol from the penalty area.

Rijkaard and Tenkat also saw the improvement of Real Madrid's defense, especially Real Madrid's targeted strategy, so they made decisive adjustments to let Deco and Iniesta move forward to participate in the attack more.

In the 27th minute, Deco suddenly came in from behind and went straight to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving Ronaldinho's pass, he rushed to the bottom line and passed back in an inverted triangle to find Eto'o.

The Cameroon Cheetahs cleverly seized the opportunity and took a direct kick near the left corner of the small penalty area. However, Ramos took the lead and blocked the ball with his foot. Casillas fell to the ground and saved the ball.

Just a minute later, Deco stepped in to get the ball and sent a through ball, trying to find Eto'o in the penalty area. Ramos successfully intercepted the ball and stole the ball away.

In the 31st minute, Eto'o came out of the penalty area, received the ball and sent a through ball to Larsson. However, Casillas abandoned the goal and attacked first, and saved the ball first.

Continuous attempts to attack failed to score a goal, and it was even difficult to create a shooting opportunity.

As a result, Barcelona quickly returned to the long-range shot route.

…

Except for the angry moment at the beginning, Gao Shen was very calm the rest of the time.

The most important thing is that the mistake happened too suddenly and it was too inappropriate.

However, that attack also stimulated Real Madrid and made everyone wake up, and the subsequent defense stabilized.

As for long-distance shooting, I am not afraid of it.

After playing for more than half an hour, Real Madrid only had two shots on goal, and the possession time was only a little over 30%, which was far lower than Barcelona.

But these are all within Gao Shen's expectations.

Most of Real Madrid's counterattacks go directly to Negredo or Zidane, especially Negredo, who has a wide range of activities and is not fixed in the middle of the frontcourt.

This is also the task given to him by Gao Shen. As long as Barcelona's central defender is willing to follow, he will run as much as he can, regardless of his physical strength. He will have more physical confrontation with Puyol and Oleg and consume more of their physical energy.

What Gao Shen was planning was not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy that both Rijkaard and Tenkat could see.

Puyol has just recovered from a serious injury, Oleg has started consecutive games, and Negredo's role is to consume them.

When we’re almost done, let’s go to Ronaldo!
