Super Storm

Laurent Blanco, the former captain of the French national team, won the 1998 and 1998 World Cup championship as the core of the defense.

One made Ferguson never forget, even when he was thirty-five years old, he must be taken from Inter Milan to Manchester United, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, hoping that he could succeed Stam's vacancy and provoke Manchester United's defense. Guard.

After retiring, he first coached Bordeaux. In the first season, he took this team to the position of runner-up in the Ligue 1 League. He almost took the traditional overlord Lyon out of the game. In the second season, he directly led the team. Winning two championships in Ligue 1 and the French League Cup, achieved a double crown, immediately famed in European football.

After the World Cup in South Africa, Laurent Blanco succeeded Domenech as head coach of the national team, stopping at the quarterfinals in the European Cup in 2012, losing to the then unstoppable Spain team, and then Blanco also left The national team is in charge and is in charge of Ligue 1 upstart Paris Saint-Germain.

Under the direction of Blanco, in the past three seasons, Paris Saint-Germain has achieved a qualitative change in France's domestic results, winning three consecutive Ligue 1 championships, achieving three consecutive championships, and consistently steadily remaining in the quarterfinals in the Champions League. s position.

It can be said that for the sake of bluntness, Blanco ’s coaching in the past eight years has been a remarkable achievement, which makes people have to be impressed.

And this season, Paris Saint-Germain laid an early advantage in the Ligue 1 league. After the ten rounds of the league, they have already led their opponents by five points and remained undefeated with ten wins, eight wins and two draws.

Whether it is the management of Paris Saint-Germain or Laurent Blanco, they are very eager to make a breakthrough in this year's Champions League. At least they must break through the quarterfinals and reach the semifinals.

But no one expected that in the group stage, Paris Saint-Germain would draw Real Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain met Barcelona in the group stage last season, and also played first and second before defeating Barcelona 3-2 at their home court. Although they soon lost 1 to 3 at Camp Nou, they were finally ranked by one point. The group made the second qualifying, but Paris Saint-Germain is not without the power of a battle against the top European giants.

Encountered Real Madrid this season, Blanco is naturally ambitious, want to kill opponents at home.

Unexpectedly, the art master midfielder Zidane and the top scorer Yang Yang coached together. So far this season, the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League have maintained a win. The offensive and Real Madrid are completely out of the park. Subverted the various impressions of Blanco and the outside world on them.

Real Madrid go so far!

…………

…………

Blanco has been standing on the sidelines since the opening, never sitting down.

The Frenchman in a straight suit looks a little nervous. He walks to the side of the court from time to time, shouting at the players on the court, and constantly commands them to adjust the team's tactics through gestures, but more often, he is standing Over there, habitually grasping the chin and observing the situation on the field.

His brows were always tightly locked, as if they were icebergs in the Arctic that would never melt away.

At the beginning of the game, he noticed that Real Madrid's tactics were a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

The goalkeeper is Navas, the back lines are Marcelo, Fermalen, Ramos and Carvajal. The midfielders are David Silva, Tony Cross and Maschera. Connaught and Di Maria, double forwards are Yang Yang and Suarez.

The four-two-two formation is not surprising. Real Madrid often played this formation this season, but the difference is that Real Madrid played a bit negatively. From the beginning, it did not show the kind of momentum that must be won and the initiative to attack. .

So far this season, Real Madrid can be described as offensive, the offense is very sharp, and the defense is also very good, which makes everyone relish, thinking that Real Madrid under the coaching of Zidane and Yang Yang is kicking the US round. Beautiful offensive football.

Blanco felt the same way, but what he didn't expect was that Real Madrid tonight took a balanced, even conservative tactical strategy, and did not take the initiative to attack, but focused on restraining the attack of Paris Saint-Germain.

...

Paris Saint-Germain's offense mainly relied on Ibrahimovic.

This season's Swedish center has a very obvious change, that is, when the team is turned from the defense to the moment, he will actively retreat, looks more like a midfielder, the purpose is to respond from the back On the court, organize and plan the overall offensive trend.

Verati and Mota are plugged in quickly, especially Mota. They will often be in the same position as Ibrahimović in order to control in the case of a quick counterattack. Hold the ball and guide the players on both sides, especially the full-backs to participate in the attack.

In this case, Ravich and Olier plugged in later were Paris Saint-Germain's weapons to break through the two sides.

This set of play is to some extent the tactics of Barcelona in the Champions League final. Messi ’s retreat was bright at the time. His handling and shooting were also very interesting. Blanco wanted to let Iraq Brahimovic came to play this role.

In the frontcourt, Paris Saint-Germain also had a high center Cavani, who didn't need to worry about offensive issues at all.

This style of play is unstoppable in the Ligue 1 league, even with victories, Ibrahimovic and other players on the team also benefit from it, and the Swedish center himself can accept this role change because of his Plugging in later will also become an important part of the team's offense.

Unexpectedly, Real Madrid took a balanced formation of four, four, two tonight.

From the opening to the present, several times, when Paris Saint-Germain grabbed the ball and passed it to the foot of Ibrahimović, Real Madrid's central defender not only did not follow the Swedish center for the first time, but retreated to three at the fastest speed. In the ten-meter area, the midfielder also retreated for the first time without any entanglement.

The intention is very clear, you like to control the ball, then you control it.

Ibrahimović is characterized by delicate technique, but the rhythm of playing the ball is slow, and some sticky ball, so every time he holds the ball, he finds that Real Madrid ’s defense line retreats for the first time, and the counterattack cannot be achieved. Hesitating, even the midfielder retreated.

Subsequently, Paris Saint-Germain began to gain possession of the ball near the center line, but could not penetrate forward.

If it were just that, it would be fine.

The ball is in hand, controlled, controlled, and fell in the midfield and backcourt, the opportunity will still come out.

But how can Real Madrid make opponents so easy?

Whenever the midfield and backcourt are in place and the defensive posture takes shape, Tony Cross will push forward for the first time, forming pressure on players such as Ibrahimovic, Verati and Mota, forcing them to pass the ball back Or split the edge, unable to move forward.

Yang Yang and Suarez will also be oppressed in the frontcourt, and the purpose is also very clear, that is, they want to push the ball to the side.

Once the ball reaches the wing, Real Madrid will immediately invest in defense. David Silva and Di Maria are very defensive players, which makes it easy for Real Madrid to hold the ball against Paris Saint-Germain on the wing. The players formed a stranglehold situation.

Once the ball is in hand, Real Madrid will pass forward for the first time and play a quick counterattack.

Of course it is a good thing to work, but it does not work, and Real Madrid will never love to fight again.

...

"It shouldn't be!"

Blanco shook his head continually, he couldn't understand, Real Madrid this season is clearly not this style, how suddenly conservative? The key is still so thorough.

"What is our possession rate?" Blanco asked the assistant beside him.

"Sixty-five percent."

The French scolded angrily, is this like Real Madrid's style?

This team is the strongest team in European football, attacking the firepower in the world, and passing the ball, they may not lose to Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but the result is like this?

If Real Madrid now has a 65% possession rate, Blanco will not be surprised at all, and may even be a little happy, because this is the script he is familiar with.

But now, it is clear that the two big rookies Zidane and Yang Yang do not respect the screenwriter at all and change the script indiscriminately.

Even more frightening is that the situation is somewhat out of Blanco's control.

Real Madrid is up, Paris Saint-Germain has the advantage on the field, and it is the home game. It is inevitable that you will want to move forward, but if there is an omission in the defense ...

"Which one of Real Madrid's defensive tactics came out?" Blanco scolded angrily.

But soon, he reacted by himself.

From Benitez to Ancelotti, Real Madrid ’s coach has always been the top tactical master in Europe, and the defense is not bad at all. The only difference is that in the past, Real Madrid only played a few **** such as Barcelona. It was only when the team showed its defensive attainments, but now, even playing Paris Saint-Germain has adopted this style of play.

"Should I be happy?" Blanco smiled wryly.

But soon, he couldn't help but scolded bitterly, so happy!

If he can't win the game, he should cry!

He was so happy that he was made up of two big rookies?

In case of a loss, Zidane and Yang Yang will definitely be accused of conservativeness by the critical media after the game, but the key is that they get a three-pointer.

Between the three points and the image, everyone knows how to choose.

Thinking of this, Blanco still felt uneasy.

Real Madrid is too great, like a dormant lion, it will rush out to eat people at any time.

Paris Saint-Germain must be careful.

So, the Frenchman went to the sidelines and waved at the players again.

"Be careful, get up, and get back to defense faster after losing the ball!" Blanco shouted excitedly on the sidelines.

...

When Blanco finished speaking and just turned around to go back, there was a burst of exclamation in the stadium, which scared the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain and turned around in shock.

I saw Tony Cross moving forward again, putting pressure on Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center returned to Verati, and Tony Cross was forced to pass by the Italians for the first time.

Split to the left and want to find Ravich.

As soon as the Argentine stopped the ball, Di Maria and Carvajal formed a double.

The ball was broken!

Real Madrid quickly counterattack!
