Thanks to the rewards of "The Death of the Thief", "Qingqing Little Wolf" and "Eating Books is Commonplace"! ――

At the Bernabeu, Aldridge walked into the pitch and sat in the coach's box.

Thoughts fly.

After Florentino came to power, he brought Figo to Real Madrid, Bosque led Real Madrid to win the league last season, and this season Zidane was introduced, and the Champions League went to the top four, and the league is estimated to be out of play.

Bosque does not belong to Florentino's favorite coach, there is no "star flavor", but he won the league championship last season, and this fatherly coach is also deeply loved by the players.

The most important change for Real Madrid this season is not actually the arrival of Zidane, because Zidane is just a star, but the decision-making of Real Madrid's top management and the policy of the team-building philosophy can affect the entire Real Madrid team and the short-term future.

The landmark policy is: Zidane + Pavon policy.

Florentino finalized Real Madrid's team-building policy of bringing in superstars and complementing them with youth promotions.

Broadly speaking, it's a great idea!

That's how Millwall were built, with their own academy but when needed, they bring in a World Cup-winning supernova like Thierry Henry.

The concept is correct, the introduction of talent plus the focus on youth training, Manchester United, AC Milan, Barcelona. Bayern Munich. Including Millwall now. It's all running in this way, and at the peak, the team structure, you can also see these two things, successful youth training and the right transfer market operation.

However, Real Madrid has directional problems in its implementation.

When you think of Real Madrid, you can think of a team that is famous for its attack, and it will attack even if it dies!

And Real Madrid's youth training is naturally also attack-centered. The attacking factor, the attacking football philosophy, permeates every corner of this club.

Therefore, in the large number of outstanding youth products lost by Real Madrid, the vast majority are attacking players!

In other words, Florentino's recruitment policy, the introduction of attacking superstars, itself suppressed the space for its own excellent academy players to rise to the top, and secondly, supplemented by the promotion of defensive players like Pavon, Real Madrid does not stand out in youth training by cultivating defensive players. Hence the top-heavy and contrary laws of football. There are no surprises.

Aldridge is not afraid of Real Madrid, never!

Because Real Madrid is a team in his eyes that is detached from the sporting itself.

In 90 minutes, Real Madrid's stars will have 15 to 20 minutes of "show time", which is what the fans of the stadium, the Bernabeu and the Blancos in the stands are happy to see.

Looking through Real Madrid's all-season games, they were able to edit a lot more "individual highlights" than any other team, but they said goodbye to the champions in the league.

If you don't attack, you'd rather die!

What is there to be afraid of in fighting such an opponent?

In Aldrich's eyes, it is the kind of team that is willing to defend, can defend, knows how to defend, and puts defense first, which is what he should have a headache!

I can't imagine that Capello won the league championship but still dissatisfied the fans, and I can't imagine that Capello, who entered the palace for the second time, won the league championship again and was still dissatisfied with the fans!

So Aldridge regretted that he couldn't play against Capello's Real Madrid.

What exactly does Real Madrid want?

Offense is the foundation, victory is basically up to standard, and then there will be some show entertainment, OK, almost satisfying.

Overall, Real Madrid is an aristocrat who wants to ravage their opponents in an elegant way and achieve their goals.

Sorry, the world doesn't revolve around Real Madrid, you want to be elegant and gorgeous, but you want to be undusty and your opponent is subservient, Aldridge doesn't agree, Millwall's whole team doesn't agree, and London's more than 300,000 local Lions fans don't agree!

Of course, if Real Madrid has the money to buy 11 world-class stars with pure competitive ability, and there is a coach who can integrate the team as a whole and give full play to the team strength of 1+1 greater than 2, then what Real Madrid wants can basically get, but unfortunately, it is tantamount to climbing to the sky to achieve this.

The Bernabeu echoed the Champions League theme song, and Aldridge looked at Real Madrid's starting lineup, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, fleeting.

"The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, one is an English derby, the other is hailed by the media as the battle of the century, and this battle of the century is finally going to start at the Bernabeu! Take a look at the line-ups of the two teams, it's gorgeous! First of all, let's introduce the line-up of Real Madrid.

The starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Salgado, Hierro, Pavon, Carlos.

Midfielders: Figo, Makelele, Elguera, Zidane.

Forwards: Morientes, Raul.

Let's take a look at Millwall's starting line-up.

The starting 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho.

It's a feast of superstars, it's the pinnacle of European football, and the only hope we have now is that in the first game, the first 90 minutes of the show, the two teams will not be tacitly conservative, and then the fans at the Bernabeu, the audience in front of the TV, will be disappointed. ”

The Champions League theme song has been played, and the pre-match photos of the two sides have also been completed, and the game is about to begin.

"Whew, that's exciting."

Klinsmann sighed abruptly beside Aldrich.

Aldridge nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I am very much looking forward to what Real Madrid's gorgeous attacking quartet will be." ”

"Can this be predicted? A talented attacking player, playing on the spot is elusive. ”

"No, that's what I'm expecting. How they contribute on the defensive end. ”

"Huh? What to expect from this? ”

"Didn't you? I think I want to have an advantage against Millwall. Even at the level of Real Madrid. They are the most at most, and only one player can not be involved in the defense, which will be the trend of football in the future. ”

Klinsmann fell silent, thoughtful.

The game began to be cheered on by the fans at the Bernabeu.

Bosque was also sitting in the dugout, looking calm and thinking lively.

He was actually hesitant today to withdraw Elgra to play centre-back. Or let Elgra play in the midfield, in the end, he still let Elgra play in the midfield, and strengthen the midfield defense with Makelele, not giving Millwall the opportunity to establish an advantage in the midfield, if he pulls Elgra back to play central defender, then he has to send Solari in the midfield, and the midfield is only defended by Makelele, which is too risky.

What the effect of this will be, he hopes to take a closer look at the situation after the opening of Guò.

I have to say. Real Madrid's midfield configuration today, the attack and defense are very clear. Makelele defends, Elgra can also defend, and Makelele's advantage is that the ball is stable after successful defense, Elgra has a certain ability to respond, can give Zidane a hand, wing attack is never Real Madrid will worry, Carlos is one by one, Salgado can move up and down flexibly, Figo can be on the side, Real Madrid's attack theory has a lot of freedom.

At the beginning, Real Madrid did not dare to attack rashly and violently at home, perhaps because they were afraid of Millwall's reputation as Champions League champions for two consecutive years.

Millwall also changed the norm today, did not show high-pressure pressing tactics, their defense line is relatively backward, the siege is still relying on the frontcourt players, the midfield line is based on Pirlo and Gattuso as the watershed, the backfield defense is still stable, reasonably distributed in the danger zone space, and the frontcourt players actively return to defend to exert pressure.

Naturally, this was targeted by Aldrich.

Playing Real Madrid, you can't attack with pressure like you can play Barcelona, you can't!

The reason is simple, Real Madrid's midfield is much stronger than Barcelona's!

Especially personal abilities.

Millwall's high-pressure pressing can be very uncomfortable for the top stars, they will make mistakes, they will be cut off, they will get lost in the frenzied pressing.

But the more you get rid of Zidane, the more you try to grab him, the more you fall into the trap!

Zidane has a very clear advantage in terms of organisational skills, he is able to make very complex situations very simple and clear.

Millwall high-pressure pressing, cutting the opponent's offensive formation, blocking the passing route, and then intercepting from different directions, Zidane is best at getting rid of the spot, you dare to make moves to grab, I can understate you, smash the ball, pull the ball, Marseille sleuver, bicycle change direction, even stop and pass, rhythm change, in terms of technical ability in this regard, Zidane may be the strongest on the planet, once he breaks through the interception circle, the entire defensive system is almost finished.

The reason why Aldridge is so cautious is also because Zidane is stronger than before, a few years ago when he played against Juventus, he witnessed Zidane's ability on the field, a few years later, Zidane has become older, but he is more powerful than before, and will continue to get stronger, he is definitely an outlier in the football circle.

"come-on, come-on, Real Madrid, attack, show your aristocratic demeanor, attack! If you don't invest more in attack, the home fans will boo you! ”

After the opening, Millwall is entering the game, it is normal to be conservative, Real Madrid is also based on balance, the attack is slow and methodical, there is no rhythm and speed, and there is no excessive investment, just relying on the front court to attack the quartet, the fullback Carlos does not come up, the guard with the knife Elgra does not come up, and the four people handle Millwall's entire defensive system? Is it possible?

Hearing Aldrich's babbling to himself, Klinsmann covered his mouth and chuckled.

It's been 10 minutes since watching the game, Aldridge can't hold back, Bosque's side is calm, this media has been advocating the battle of the century for a long time, if it goes on like this, of course it won't work.

Bosque is puzzled, how can Aldridge sweep the Yaxing of fans all over the world?

He stood up and walked to the sidelines to give Millwall a signal: Attack!

Since Real Madrid is a bit of a loser, let's play a little more exciting, and no one has to worry about it! (To be continued......)
