Chapter 818: The state of the team

The pain of the head coach is really not something that everyone can understand, why did Heynckes, Ferguson, and Lippi all choose to retire one by one? It's because the pressure is too much, you see that Mourinho's hair was still gray before he went to Real Madrid, but after he came back, his hair turned completely white, and that was because of the pressure.

The average team is under a lot of pressure, but the coach of a big team is even more stressful because you have to be seen as the focus and you have to be compared to other coaches.

After Zidane became a coach, he also deeply felt this huge pressure, what to do and how to do it, he himself first had to have a more systematic idea.

For example, in the first month after the start of the new season, do you have to win the first place in the league and maintain the advantage over other teams, and what will be the team's physical strength in the second month? How to arrange it, and how exactly the rotation of players in the team should be carried out.

If you can't plan these things in advance, then you will definitely be blinded by the time, there is no doubt about that.

The club has the requirements of the club, Zidane himself also has his own plan, he intends to focus on the league this season, to first be familiar with the operation and rhythm of the league, the minimum consumption is to win the league championship, as for the Champions League, after all, the variables are too big, his requirements for himself are to be sure to enter the semi-finals, this is the bottom line, as for the Copa del Rey, he does not have any pursuit, this painless championship trophy, in the past when Real Madrid could not get the league and Champions League trophy was a good placebo, but now, It doesn't seem so important anymore. He prefers the Copa del Rey to be an occasion for players to adjust their form or practice in practice.

But no matter what the plan is, he can't easily give up any title. This kind of thing is just doing your best. Since there are three fronts, there are also games to be played in the UEFA Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Club World Cup. Therefore, the physical reserve of the player is very important, if the physical reserve is not good, then there must be a problem, let alone winning the championship, maybe the league will collapse in the middle of the league.

The reserve of physical fitness requires players to be able to increase physical training, which was not valued by Real Madrid in the past, but Zidane, as a player, has his own understanding. He thinks that physical fitness is still a very important part, if the physical fitness is not good, then even if your skills are good, then you can't play it, if you can't play it, then it is meaningless.

Of course, Lin Yu has no objection to the intensive physical training, he himself has high requirements for his physical fitness, and he also knows how much it will help him if his physical fitness is good, which is an important attribute that must not be ignored.

In fact, the success of his debut. It can't be separated from physical attributes, without physical support, he can't stick to such a large amount of training, let alone run as much as he wants on the court. That's why the first quest he chose was a stamina quest.

Other players have poor fitness, so it's very hard to train, but even so. Everyone worked very hard and didn't dare to carry it in the slightest. On the one hand, it's because I did taste the sweetness last season, and I don't want to suddenly fall from the clouds to hell this season. On the other hand, because after all, with a new coach, no one can guarantee his starting position in the team, including Lin Yu, so he must actively perform in front of the new coach.

Therefore, this pre-season training has made people see a thriving scene, as if a team that not only has the background, but is also willing to work hard has really begun to rise.

If such pride and hard work can persist until the beginning of this season and the end of the season, then there is no need to ask, the results of this season will definitely not be bad, but it is unknown whether the players are hot for three minutes or really want to work so hard.

A lot of teams do really well in training and at the start of the season, but when there is a situation where the results are inconsistent, there are immediate problems and eventually they are out of control.

Now that Zidane has just taken office, there are many people who want to see his jokes and hilariousness, and even many media are speculating about when Zidane will leave class.

It's not that reporters doubt the strength of Real Madrid, but worry about the coach's ability, after all, Zidane is really the head coach of the first team alone, this is the first time the new daughter-in-law has been in the sedan chair, who knows if he has learned anything from other coaches, after all, the interlacing is like a mountain, the difference between players and coaches is still quite big, not every player can be like Guardiola, Heynckes can also succeed in the coaching position.

Some friends of Zidane are also worried that Zidane will ruin his coaching career because of this coaching, after all, this starting point is a bit too high, once he fails, it may not only be ruined in reputation, he himself may also lose confidence in himself, after all, he is only Zizu in the playing era, not Zizu in the coaching era.

However, Zidane does not seem to be worried.

The two people in the team who reassured him the most were Cristiano. Ronaldo, the other one is Lin Yu.

Although the former's performance is not as eye-catching as before, it is becoming more and more stable, relying on his ability to read the game, as well as excellent skills, to help the team get through the left wing, it is too stable, many people have long predicted Cristiano. Ronaldo will soon fade out of football, but no one would have thought that he would change his way of playing and still perform shockingly, although this has something to do with Lin Yu, but the most important thing is his own strict requirements for himself.

Many people have said that as a person, Cristiano. Ronaldo may not have performed well, but as a player, he is definitely conscientious and admirable.

Not to mention Lin Yu, this guy is the most reassuring one in the team, of course, it would be better if he didn't have that fearful character.

But then again, if Lin Yu didn't have that kind of character, he might not have today's achievements, the success of a player is related to hard work, but it is also related to personality, the player on the forward line should be a player with full personality. On the back line, more down-to-earth players are needed.

A few warm-up games down. Lin Yu scored almost every game, and he was at ease. There is nothing to worry about at all.

Zidane was the coach at the beginning, and he did not immediately change the style of play of Real Madrid, although personally, he prefers the current style of play of Bayern Munich, but he also knows that if he immediately changes his style of play, he will not only be opposed by the players, but he will also be inaccurate, so everything is still good for the time being. Anyway, the style of play left by Lippi is still quite suitable for Real Madrid, as long as it persists, this season's results will not fluctuate much.

Lin Yu can actually adapt to any tactic, but if you want to ask him which style of play he likes best, he will still choose the anti-counterattack tactics of quick counterattack and high interception, because it will be easier to kick this way, and it will be easier to score.

Of course, this is just his opinion. He has a strong tackling ability, is quick on the counter-attack, can pass people and can head the ball. On the whole, only this tactic can fully play to his advantages, so Lin Yu does not hate Bayern Munich's current style of play. But he still prefers the one he adapts to.

To be precise, it was Lippi who distilled it from Mourinho's tactics. It is more suitable for Real Madrid's style of play, and now Zidane has stuck to this style of play. Lin Yu is naturally very happy, he is so happy that he is naturally in a brave state, even if it is a warm-up match, he can play it as a Champions League final.

Cristiano. Ronaldo and Lin Yu, the two absolute generals in the team, are in good shape, Zidane is half relieved, and the next thing he has to consider is the state of the other players, if the whole team can form a starting lineup in excellent form, he will really laugh.

For example, the form of Gareth Bale, Isco, Luka Modric, Hesey and others, as well as the consistency of the crowd at the back.

It is said that "everyone collects firewood and the flame is high", and there is a sentence called "one hero and three gangs", although it is said that in the last season, Lin Yu's performance was the most outstanding, which amazed the world, but it is absolutely inseparable from the help of his teammates.

……

Although Zidane hopes that his players can be in good shape and in good health, but God always seems to test the newcomers, judging from the pre-season warm-up, the whole Real Madrid team is not as good as he imagined.

First of all, the biggest problem is Harvey. Alonso and Khedira.

Harvey. Alonso was seriously injured in a warm-up game and could only be declared recuperating for at least three or four months, so the season would basically be reimbursed, because even if he returned, it would not necessarily be back to his previous form, which is really embarrassing.

You must know that the midfielder has always been the core player of Real Madrid, and with him in the midfield position, the team's attack and defense will be more organized. Alonso didn't want to renew his contract with Real Madrid because he felt that he was a little old, because the competition here was too fierce, he was afraid that he would be injured, and then he finally succeeded in renewing his contract, but who knew that such a thing would happen, which is really emotional.

Khedira was also injured, but he was not injured in club games, but was seriously injured in the warm-up match for the national team, and he was out of action for a whole season.

As the same midfielder, although Khedira is not so amazing in terms of technology, but he can do dirty work, this is a rare warrior in the Real Madrid team, he is so injured, the team must reconsider the choice of the midfield position, but whether it is Ilia Ramendi or Casemiro, it is obvious that he cannot compare with Khedira.

Real Madrid once wanted to buy Gundogan, but unfortunately it was preempted by Chelsea, just because Lin Yu was in Chelsea at that time, and now Real Madrid wants to dig Gundogan, so they have to pay a greater price.

So now Zidane has set his sights on Xavi, who has gradually faded out of Bayern's main lineup. Martinez.

As a Spaniard, he should prefer to return to Spain to play, at least that's what he thinks. If Martinez gets his hands on it, it's up to Zidane's team, after all, there are no players who can help poach this time.

Now Real Madrid's midfield position can temporarily replace Xavi with Modric. Alonso, but Khedira's place can only be reluctantly replaced by Casemiro or Ilia Ramendi, but it is not the best option.

……

Except for Harvey. In addition to Alonso and Khedira's problems due to injuries, the rest of the players are also in uneven form, for example, Hirsch's performance is quite good, and even in the warm-up games, he surpassed Bale, Isco and Di Maria.

Varane's condition is not very good, because he also suffered a small injury, which is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, originally Real Madrid lacked the most central defenders, and now Varane is still injured, for Zidane, it is a complete headache.

Bale also had some minor injuries and was in very unstable condition.

Isco doesn't always fit into the rhythm, and the original golden boy is now a little overwhelmed. (To be continued......)
