Chapter 29： Who can create miracles?

Carlo is right.

From all perspectives, Real Madrid have no chance.

In Gao Shen's previous life, Real Madrid also drew with Arsenal 0-0 away, and finally ended in the round of 16 with a total score of 0-1.

In the following years, Real Madrid never crossed the hurdle of the top sixteen, which is why they got the nickname of the Champions League Sixteen.

But so what?

Gao Shen couldn't tell Carlo that he was a traveler of the unpredictable prophet, and he couldn't tell Carlo that he had a wonderful tactical library, and he couldn't tell Carlo that even if he lost the game, even if he was dismissed from Real Madrid, he would still at all costs.

In his previous life, he was too mediocre, too ordinary.

Now, he wants to shine and let the whole world see his light.

Seeing that Gao Shen's attitude was very firm, Carlo could not convince him, so he could only sigh and mutter, "I really don't understand what you young people are thinking."

But he still chose to help.

…

When Real Madrid ushered in the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu, Arsenal also ushered in a derby in London.

In the twenty-eighth round of the Premier League, Arsenal played away to Fulham.

The Gunners' record is even more dazzling than that of Real Madrid. Henry scored twice, Adebayor and Cesc Fabregas each scored a goal.

Carlo and Gao Shen watched the replay of the game in the living room, mainly to study Arsenal's current tactical play.

In this game, Wenger adopted a four-for-two tactic.

The goalkeeper is Lehmann, the back line is Flamini, Senderos, Kolo Toure and Eboue, and the midfield is Ljungberg, Diaby, Gilberto Silva and Hleb, The two forwards are Henry and Adebayo.

Adebayor was transferred from Monaco in January and cost Arsenal nine million euros. He is tall, very strong, and has delicate foot skills, which can be said to make up for the shortcomings of Arsenal's striker. .

Everyone knows that Henry is not a regular center, he is more like a ranger.

Many people say that Henry and Adeba are the best partners for dating.

In the game against Fulham, Adebayor teamed up with Henry and scored three goals.

But what really caught the attention of Gao Shen and Carlo was that all four of Arsenal's goals came from through **** in the midfield, and they were all scored from the left.

In the 31st minute, Diaby sent a through ball, Henry got rid of Fulham right defender Waltz, broke into the left rib of the penalty area, and scored a volley from the front of the small penalty area.

In the 35th minute, Ljungberg went straight to the left rib of the penalty area and hit behind Waltz. This time, it was Adebayor who easily pushed in front of the goal and scored 2-0.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Ljungberg went straight to the left rib of the penalty area. Henry pushed the far corner and scored twice.

In the 86th minute, Ljungberg sent another straight pass. Flamini went straight into the left side of the penalty area and returned. Cesc Fabregas, who came on as a substitute, scored a low shot from the middle, locking the score at 4-0.

The four penalty areas all came from direct passes. Three were passed directly into the left rib of the penalty area, and one was passed to the bottom line. The left defender Flamini inserted the edge and then returned to the middle.

Gao Shen has an impression of Flamini, but he is more of a defensive midfielder, but now, this young teenager can play both in midfield and left and right fullbacks, and is a very versatile and versatile player.

Both Ashley Cole and Clichy are currently injured, but it is Flamini's excellent performance that makes Arsenal's left flank very solid, and Eboue on the right flank makes Arsenal Na this young line of defense has become impregnable.

"Judging from this game, Ljungberg will definitely be there, he performed too well, Wenger can't win him at this time, so the question is, will Wenger take four-four-two? Or four two three one?"

After the two watched the game and analyzed it, Carlo asked.

These two sets of play are commonly used by Arsenal this season, and they are very skilled. The key depends on Wenger's choice.

In addition, even if 442 is adopted, what kind of configuration will be adopted on the front line?

Adebayoga Henry? Or Reyes and Henry? Or is it Bergkamp plus Henry?

If it is 4231, is it possible to let Adebayor be at the center and let Henry pull the side?

Different personnel allocations are destined to adopt different tactical styles, representing different tactical ideas of the head coach.

Wenger is an extremely experienced head coach. Arsenal under his command has many different types of players, who can combine and piece together different tactics and play styles according to different needs.

And what about Real Madrid?

The starting lineup doesn't take much effort to guess.

That is, after Gao Shen took office, he suppressed the Brazilian gang and drastically reorganized the team's tactics. Only then did this match against Atletico Madrid feel fresh.

This is only at the tactical level, what about the players?

"Actually, you know, I know, everyone knows that Ronaldo, Zidane, Carlos, even Raul and Beckham are still top-notch in the world in terms of consciousness and technology, but their physical fitness There is absolutely no basis for confrontation with the first-class teams in Europe."

When Carlo said these words, his expression was extremely depressed.

"At this point, you did make decisions that a lot of people, including me, have always wanted to do but didn't dare to do, to be bold enough to use young people, to inject freshness and energy into the team, but it's not enough, and it leaves Your time is also limited."

Gao nodded deeply.

The physical fitness of players is indeed a very serious problem.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid's defense is a big problem, but how to change it?

Now the emphasis is on overall defense and regional defense, which requires everyone on the team to actively run.

Then the problem comes, many stars do not have such physical ability, such as Ronaldo, Carlos, or even Zidane.

Physical fitness comes from daily training, and Real Madrid's daily training level is very low.

Why is it low?

Because the superstars are getting old.

If you increase the amount of training, not to mention whether the superstars will object, even if they all support it, well, they consume too much in training. Given their "aged" level, the recovery speed must be very slow. What about double competitions in a week?

If the amount of training is not strong, then they can still flash occasionally, and when the amount of training increases, they just lie down in the nest.

The team can't specialize, and the training intensity is accommodated by the superstars, then the training level of the whole team will decline, and many players who were obviously in good physical condition will also decline in a straight line, which forms a vicious circle.

The training level is low, the physical fitness is poor, the running ability is poor, and the competition is weak.

It's not that I don't want to run, it's that I really can't run.

In fact, even now, Gao Shen has not reformed the training program, because the time is not yet ripe.

This is what Carlo said, too little time is left for him.

As we all know, the Premier League is known for its fast pace, high physical consumption and lots of physical contact, which makes Real Madrid destined to suffer a big physical loss in the match against Arsenal.

Tactics and players are not dominant, what about the environment?

The first-leg home game was 0-1, which almost sentenced Real Madrid to death.

As Carlo said, only miracles can save Real Madrid.

The question is, who does the current Real Madrid rely on to create miracles?

……

……

It was almost midnight when Gao Shen left Carlo's house.

Carlo promised that in the next few days, if Gao Shen needed anything, he could contact him at any time, and he was willing to help.

But he didn't want to go to Valdebebas.

That was his sad place.

On the way home, Gao Shen's mood was a little down.

After some analysis by myself and Carlo, the match against Arsenal is destined to be a sure-beat outcome.

Even the zero-to-zero ratio in the previous life is already a very, very good result.

Now, the situation he is facing is more dangerous than Carlo in his previous life, because he suppressed the Brazilian gang, and Real Madrid's combat effectiveness is obviously weaker than in the previous life.

Could it be that there is really no way to beat Arsenal?

Riding a bicycle, the cold wind blowing in his face penetrated into his down jacket, making him feel cold all over.

But gradually, the panting became louder and louder, the body gradually became warmer, and the thoughts in my mind became active.

A few days ago, didn't everyone say that he would definitely lose to Atletico?

But what about now?

Not only did he win, but he won by three goals.

Now, everyone is criticizing him again.

But does Real Madrid really have no chance?

impossible!

Must have!

His ability to sit in the coaching position of Real Madrid is the biggest variable in itself.

Everything Carlo said seems to be true, but it's all from experience.

Why, Real Madrid will definitely lose, instead of becoming a team that creates miracles like Ajax?

There is no Brazilian gang, but Real Madrid has a group of outstanding young players.

Arsenal are playing right now. Wenger's most trusted main players are all around 20?

Flamini, Reyes, Cesc Fabregas, Eboue, Senderos, Kolo Toure, Diaby, Adebayor…

Will the achievements of these players in the future be higher than those of Real Madrid's young players?

Not really!

Since Wenger can rely on these young players to lead the team to the Champions League final, why can't Real Madrid make it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with these young players?

Thinking of this, Gao Shen stopped the bicycle out of breath, and took a few deep breaths of cold air.

He has arrived home.

I also thought about it clearly.

No matter what, he has to go all out and try his best to beat Arsenal.

As for the outcome, this is beyond his control.

Losing and winning, he has a clear conscience.

There is such a sentence in "The Fantastic Journey of Shepherd Boys": When you wholeheartedly and devoutly want to realize a wish, the entire universe will work together to help you realize it.

Everyone has their own destiny, some people give up easily, but some people will work hard to realize their destiny step by step, no matter what kind of hardships and temptations they encounter.

When your desire is strong enough, nothing can stop you.

Gao thought deeply.

Thinking of this, Gao Shen had nothing to hesitate.

At Carlo's house just now, he had already had dinner.

After returning home, after taking a shower, he went straight to bed.

In fact, he entered the tactical library, picked up Benitez's writings again, and studied them carefully, especially the few games Benitez played against Arsenal.

From landing in the Premier League in 2004 to the present, Benitez and Wenger have played three games with a record of two wins and one loss. The game was at Highbury Stadium and lost 3-1.

It is worth mentioning that, after playing Real Madrid, Arsenal will host Liverpool again this weekend.

In addition, Gao Shen also wants to read Ferguson's book, about his confrontation with Wenger, to draw some experience from it.

Even if the whole world thinks it is impossible, he must do everything possible to beat Arsenal!
