Real Madrid's training has always been in Valdebebas.
As the Champions League final draws closer, Benitez and the coaching staff's training has gradually undergone some adjustments.
For example, beginning to add more small-scale group confrontation training, there is also a key offensive routine drill.
Everyone knows that Real Madrid's ability to attack Inter Milan will be a crucial part of how to defeat the enemy. This is a key factor in the final victory and defeat. It is impossible to break Inter Milan's defense system. Real Madrid will definitely lose in this battle.
In addition to offense, defense is also a part of Benitez attaches great importance.
Judging from the situation this season, Real Madrid's defense is not reassuring.
The number of goals conceded in the second half seems to have stabilized a lot, but in fact the team's defense is still not reassuring.
In other words, Real Madrid ’s defense is really average compared to Inter Milan ’s reinforced concrete defense.
Then the question arises, what if the frontcourt can't break Inter Milan's defense, in case of a long delay, what should happen to the back line?
This is not alarmist, Real Madrid has no idea how many times there have been defensive errors, especially the positioning ball.
There are always losses. This is a matter of team choice.
For example, the central defender, because Pepe was injured, Benitez reused Ramos and Fermalen and gave up Metzelder. This will inevitably lead to the team ’s weakness in anti-highball, but the team ’s back defense And overall maneuverability, as well as the ability to play the ball have been considerably improved.
It depends on how the team chooses.
Do you want Metzelder's air superiority or something else?
At the level of Real Madrid, the quality and ability of players are basically no problem, the key depends on the choice.
Of course, no one is perfect, and the combination of Ramos and Fermalen is not stable enough.
This is also normal. You can't ask a center defender to grab the ball frequently and often bring the ball forward without allowing him to make mistakes.
It's like, no one can ask Yang Yang to seize every opportunity the team has created to score.
...
After a small-scale group confrontation training, Benitez arranged a half-time four-door group confrontation, that is, four small fans were placed in the half to defend two goals against each side.
The small range and many goals require players to increase the concentration on the court while also increasing the speed of passing and receiving.
Benitez's requirement for the team is to pass the ball quickly, try to control it within two feet, and try to transfer as much as possible, using the advantage of passing the ball to pull the Inter Milan defense.
Real Madrid dominates the two sides, Yang Yang and Robben have considerable deterrent and attack power on both wings, Benitez means two wings flying together, making articles through the side, and Ibrahim in the middle Shimović, the world's chief center and Sneijder's back plug in to complete.
Yang Yang is no stranger to this set of tactics, but he is still somewhat worried.
What Real Madrid wants, Inter Milan must also know, Mourinho knows Benitez very well, Yang Yang, Ibrahimović and Robben, he will definitely not let Real Madrid make on the sidelines A clear advantage.
If Inter Milan simply let go of the wing and blocked Yang Yang and Robben on the wing through defense, how did the ball return to the middle?
Judging from the current situation, Mourinho must also play with four backs and three backs. The middle will be their dense area of defense. If Yang Yang and Robben are restricted to the side, it will be difficult to play the middle. wear.
Yang Yang also raised this question to the coaching staff at the team's tactical meeting, which is where everyone feels a headache.
To a certain extent, if Inter Milan guards against strict defense, Real Madrid really has no good way.
...
The last training is half-court offense and defense training.
After a period of adjustment, the players showed their best.
Yang Yang also scored a world wave in training, winning the cheers of teammates and coaching staff on the same field.
At the end of May, Madrid ushered in the summer heat, and every player was sweating after training.
And after the players have done the relaxation training, it can be regarded as the end of the day's training.
Yang Yang, as usual, took the ball, took the team's personal coach with him, and ran aside to practice.
With something hidden in his heart, Yang Yang seemed to be somewhat absent-minded. The coach who accompanied him also saw that he had something in mind, and did not dare to disturb him. After all, Yang Yang looked kind on weekdays. In a word, Yang Yang had to leave in minutes.
This uncomfortable atmosphere was finally broken by a sudden sentence.
"What's the matter? Having trouble?" Zidane walked over with a smile.
He sent away the personal trainer and accompanied Yang Yang to train himself.
Seeing Zidane coming, Yang Yang simply did not practice anymore, and directly greeted him to sit down in an unmanned place.
"I heard that you are getting married?" Zidane asked with a smile.
Yang Yang was immediately depressed, "That big mouth told you?"
Zidane laughed, "The whole team knows."
"I knew that this guy could not tell him any secrets." Yang Yang counted Ibrahimovic angrily.
The Swedish center is unrestrained, he speaks and does everything he wants, and he can't hide any secrets.
"Are you bothering about this matter?" Zidane asked with concern.
He noticed that Yang Yang was a little absent during training.
Yang Yang shook his head, "This is not important to me at all, I can marry Su Ye at any time, you know."
"That's ..." Zidane nodded. He knew Su Ye, a very beautiful Chinese girl, who matched Yang Yang very well.
"I was thinking about playing Inter Milan in the final." Yang Yang replied, "You said, just like this, can you play Inter Milan's defense?"
"It seems that you have no confidence in the team's offense." Zidane said, he did not mention Benitez, but the meaning is clear.
"I think Mourinho must be ready, maybe even digging a pit and waiting for us there."
Inter Milan's tactics can be said to be very rogue, is to grasp the defense and fight back.
The most troublesome part of this style of play is that their defense is solid, and as long as you can't penetrate their defense, as long as you reveal your flaws, you will immediately be seized by the opponent to fight back.
Barcelona died at this point!
Is there any problem with this style of play?
Of course it is, and it's huge.
Whether it is Mourinho's Inter Milan or Benitez's Liverpool, they have played very well in the domestic league.
Of course, now that Serie A is down, Juventus and AC Milan lack combat effectiveness, so Inter Milan can rule Serie A, but in fact, when Mourinho ’s team faced the defensive counterattack of the domestic league team, they Still can't come up with effective countermeasures.
Benitez ’s Liverpool was also the same. The Champions League swept thousands of troops. The strong dialogue was also remarkable, but the league results were not ideal. Why?
Because the league relies on offense!
In the face of the defensive counterattack of the midstream and downstream teams, you have to press it out and come up with a highly feasible offensive system.
Barcelona are very stable in the league because they have a nearly bug-passing and ball-controlling system. This is not an offensive tactic at all, but it is like a combined offense and defense system.
Now, Real Madrid has become Barcelona, but without Barcelona's pass and control system to support, Inter Milan continue to play the role they are good at, which is a very terrible thing.
Yang Yang's worries also stem from this.
"You are right." Zidane nodded. "Although most of us are optimistic about us outside, we think that we are fighting at home again, and we have superior attack power. It ’s still fifty-five, we do n’t have any advantage. "
Yang Yang agrees with Zidane's judgment.
"Mourinho's defense has been sublimated in Inter Milan this season, reaching a whole new level, especially in the second round against Barcelona. The whole game came down. Inter Milan only had 68 passes. , One person less than his opponent, but he keeps zero to one. "
Yang Yang admired Mourinho's tactical arrangement and on-the-spot command in this game.
"Of course, we are different from Barcelona. We certainly have no way to limit Inter Milan to that level, but know that our stability is not as good as Barcelona, which will inevitably bring a whole new problem, in case we make mistakes, I was caught by my opponent, what should I do? "
Benitez also made a plan in this regard, and by that time, he could only further strengthen the offensive.
But the problem is also here. For Inter Milan, whether you increase the offensive or not will not affect them, because they should defend and defend. As long as you ca n’t crack their defense system, you will count eleven. Everyone pushed to the front, and it was still unsolved.
"Professional football has developed over the years, and almost every year there will be such a team. Do you remember that Juventus played against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League final zero to zero?" Zidane asked.
Yang Yang nodded, of course he remembered.
"It's dull and unattractive, but on the tactical level, none of them can do anything with each other. In the end, they can only be forced to win by penalty kick, right?"
Yang Yang understands Zidane's meaning. Inter Milan is like Juventus and AC Milan. They advocate that through a solid defense, they should first put themselves in an undefeated position and then find a way to defeat their opponents.
Of course, if they can't beat their opponents, they don't mind ending the game zero to zero.
It is reported that Mourinho has been practicing a penalty shootout and seems to be preparing for both hands.
"The charm of football is here. A team is powerful and has various advantages. It is pressed against the opponent, but it can't score the ball. Instead, it was attacked by the opponent once and lost the game. This is what This is how professional football, a legend that many fans are familiar with, comes here. "
Hearing Zidane's words, Yang Yang suddenly thought that Zidane's subordinates to the French national team under Yakai also emphasized the concept of solid defense. At that time, France relied on this set to win the World Cup and European Cup.
Zidane has also played for a long time in Juventus, heavily influenced by Lippi and Italian football.
While Yang Yang was still tasting Zidane's words, the French legend again said something that touched his mind.
"You have a very serious problem, do you know what?" m.
