Chapter 674 Real Madrid's "Weakness"

Chapter 674 Real Madrid's "Weakness"

When the clock turned to eight o'clock in the evening, the game started amidst the hustle and bustle.

It was different from what many professionals expected before the game. After all, this is an important game related to the glory of both sides and the league ranking. In the eyes of many people, both sides must have concerns about the attitude of the game. They didn't dare to act rashly first, whoever made the move first might reveal more flaws, and thus be seized by the opponent to counterattack, so probing was the established trajectory for a long time.

This is the reason for the unnamed game of the competition since ancient times.

But in fact, from the moment the whistle sounded, the game entered a fast-paced track. Neither side made any temptations. To be exact, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack without any tentative approach.

Real Madrid, who won the right to kick-off, kicked off with Raul. The football made a transition to Alonso's feet, and after a few passes, it was suddenly shifted to the right. In the bottom pass, C. Luo sprinted to take off in the middle and successfully grabbed the first point, but his head-shaking attack was higher than the crossbar.

Although this shot was a bit outrageous, it still gave Barcelona's defense a certain amount of fright. Real Madrid attacked fiercely as soon as they came up, which was unexpected and frightening.

And this is just the beginning. In the next few minutes, Real Madrid actively ran and pressed in various positions in the audience. Barcelona somewhat underestimated Real Madrid's sloppy tactics at the beginning. In 6 minutes, Real Madrid launched fast breaks again and again, and completed several threatening shots.

"Real Madrid turned away from the guests, they showed their offensive ability unscrupulously in the Nou Camp!"

"Today's Real Madrid players are extremely active, they are full of desire to win this national derby!"

"Coritiano, Cristiano...the Portuguese is up again! Nice turn away, Alonso's through ball finds him and kicks in... Phew, what luck! Valdés made one World class saves, he saved Barcelona and kept the clean sheet!"

Real Madrid's frenzied and furious offensive caused a dozen neutral commentators in the commentary to yell from time to time, while the home commentator looked a little ugly: "Real Madrid caught us by surprise! We must do well! Defensively, you can’t give the opponent more chances to advance and kick. The situation is a bit unfavorable to us. I think Mr. Josep needs to make some appropriate adjustments to the team. Real Madrid seems to be showing momentum..."

There were bursts of nervous exclamations from the stands from time to time. Before the game, the fans of the home team were full of confidence in the team's victory, but at this moment, the dangers on the scene made their confidence a little shaken——Real Madrid Playing so violently and crazily, Barcelona is still tepid. Can their team resist it?

The fans have a lot of worries in their hearts, but there is no obvious worry on the face of Barcelona coach Guardiola. He stands on the sidelines, keeps yelling at the field, and makes gestures to signal the team to take more. The ball, control and pass more, try not to lose the ball, and slow down the rhythm.

The Barcelona players also thoroughly implemented the will of the coach. Facing the stormy offensive of Real Madrid, they quickly regained their composure after experiencing the panic for the first few minutes, and tried to use the best short pass as much as possible. Controlling the ball with their feet backwards, Real Madrid's pressure is fierce, but their passing coordination is extremely familiar. The fast and precise backwards and forwards of their feet often make the pounces of Real Madrid players just useless. The rhythm of the game Slowly slow down.

Seeing this, Guardiola let out a sigh of relief.

"They want to attack, try to score early and then turn defensively."

Assistant coach Vilanova stood beside him and expressed his guesses after observation.

Tito Vilanova, who used to be the youth coach of the La Masia echelon, has now entered the club's first team, which can be regarded as a "promotion". Of course, he is also an assistant coach. He used to be Enrique's assistant. Now , He assisted Guardiola.And his former superior and good friend Luis Enrique has left Barcelona and traveled to Apennines.

Vilanova is a very low-key coach. Whether he is in the youth team or the current first team, he doesn't speak much. He just does his job with all his heart. For most first-team players, they Little attention has been paid to such an unknown and taciturn assistant coach, but Guardiola appreciates this practical and hardworking assistant. He thinks that Vilanova is a coach with his own ideas. Very keen observation and adaptability, this is an important potential to become an excellent head coach. Of course, what he lacks now is the experience and opportunity to show his ability alone.

Of course, as an assistant, although Vilanova doesn't talk much, many of the opinions he puts forward are often bloody, which will bring a lot of inspiration and help to Guardiola. An important reason why this insignificant youth team coach was promoted to the first team.

At this time, when he heard the assistant's words, Guardiola turned his head and smiled at him indifferently, nodded and said: "Your observation is very incorrect, the opponent is indeed planning such a calculation. But Tito, you know why they do this Do it?"

Vilanova looked up and took a deep look at Guardiola. To be honest, he didn't like such "school exam" questions, which made him feel like he was a student and the other party was a teacher. In fact, he is not a student, and Guardiola is not his teacher.

But whether you like it or not, he is now the assistant coach of the first team and Guardiola's assistant. He can only answer what the other party asks.

After preparing his words, Vilanova said softly: "In the summer, Real Madrid spent a lot of money and bought a lot of players. With all due respect, these players are undoubtedly very good. They can score a lot of goals. Winning games in a lot of seemingly impossible situations, they are strong, and the current league position is enough to show that. However, they also have weaknesses."

"Their weakness is...they just look like a team, but when they face difficult or tougher opponents and cannot open the situation, they may fight on their own and become a mess."

"That's right. Tito, I really didn't misread you." Guardiola stroked his palm and laughed, "We have played against each other at the Bernabeu once this season, and they caused us a lot of trouble. But the final result is still that we... won. I am not surprised by this result at all. Compared with them, we want to be a whole. Our pass and control style of play is very familiar and tacit. With a mature tactical system and a mature style of play, we can use our best method to control the initiative of the game, and then play them around!"

"Yes, the current Real Madrid only looks strong on the outside, but they have not formed their own style. This is still a big gap with us who have insisted on tactics and styles of play for more than ten years."

Vilanova nodded in agreement. Since the disintegration of the Galacticos, Real Madrid has fallen into a period of turmoil. Although Real Madrid has spent a lot of money in recent years, especially in the summer, they have brought in so many outstanding stars. He is still in the process of figuring out his own style and tactics that suit him. Compared with Barcelona, ​​which has fully matured its tactics and has already blossomed and borne fruit, it is not a little bit worse.

Logically speaking, it seems to be a matter of course that Barcelona gradually took over the game and finally defeated their opponents.

"Just, will it be so easy?"

Vilanova suddenly murmured in an imperceptible voice, but his eyes were fixed on the field, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar figure.

Will the most proud disciple of him and Enrique let Barcelona beat Real Madrid so easily, or in other words, beat him?

……

The game is still in full swing. After Barcelona stabilized its position, the rhythm of the game has gradually slowed down. Real Madrid's continuous waves of aggressive attacks failed to achieve the expected results, and Barcelona firmly controlled the ball. Right, Real Madrid can only "quiet" temporarily.

Pellegrini's face remained calm, but he sighed regretfully in his heart.

The offensive tactic is indeed a tactic that he and the coaching staff formulated early on.

What Guardiola and Vilanova can see, as the head coach of Real Madrid, he has led the team for more than half a season, so he can naturally see it.

He has no doubts about the strength of his team. Now Real Madrid's players are all outstanding stars in various positions, and their abilities are beyond doubt.

But being capable is one thing, and being able to fully transform this kind of strength into combat power is another matter.

Pellegrini is very clear that the current Real Madrid has not fully reached a peak. They seem to be very strong, and they are indeed good, but that is only relatively speaking. Against ordinary teams, OK is no problem. Real Madrid stars can With a crushing posture, the opponent is beaten into scum.

But facing a strong team with almost the same strength, but with a more mature and systematic tactical style of play, then the problem will be big.

The strength of the opponent is not inferior to his own, and there are many stars. They are more like a whole than them. In the stalemate, Real Madrid will inevitably fall into the disadvantage.

The reason is very simple, there is still too little time, and the team has not yet been fully kneaded and formed.

Take the opponent Barcelona in this game as an example. The Dream Three Dynasty is now in the limelight in European football. Why?Because their tactical system and style of play are fully mature, this kind of continuous passing and tacit cooperation as a whole makes the whole team move like arms and fingers, without the slightest sense of stagnation, just like flowing water.

It is a real team with strength, stars, and unity. It is strange that they do not produce results.

Villarreal, which Pellegrini once coached, has such a shadow, but Real Madrid absolutely does not.Because the building of this kind of mature team does not happen overnight, it needs a long time of running-in and precipitation.

Dreaming of the Three Dynasties is the result of Barcelona's ten years of persistent efforts.

This is something that Real Madrid doesn't have at all.
