Super Storm

Benitez ’s player and coaching career debuted in Real Madrid, and he has been a big fan of Real Madrid since he was small. Even at the press conference announcing the coaching Real Madrid, he faced tears and made everyone feel his love for Real Madrid. With loyalty.

From an emotional point of view, he is definitely the most suitable coach for coaching Real Madrid.

But professional football never believes in tears, nor does it need too much affection, even Benitez himself believes in this one.

Judging from the coaching philosophy, he is the least Real Madrid, and some even think that his football is the same as Capello.

Who is Capello?

He coached Real Madrid twice and won two La Liga titles in two seasons, but both were fired by the gold medalist after winning the championship.

The reason why Capello was fired twice is almost the same, that is, no one like Real Madrid like his football.

Real Madrid's football admires gorgeous creativity full of imagination, and it is a mercury-like attacking football.

Benitez is definitely a great tactical master, but in his football world, there is no creativity, no offensive football, and only a rigorous and meticulous tactical framework, as well as the mechanical execution of the players' hard work.

As early as Liverpool's coaching period, everyone thought that Yang Yang was a different kind of coach under Benitez.

But this is obviously an unexpected product of Benitez.

Before announcing the introduction of Yang Yang, what Benitez wanted was a scorer who could consistently provide more than 20 goals per season, but after Yang Yang joined, from the second season on, he suddenly let the world All were shocked, so Benitez had to develop the team's offense around him.

From twenty-five goals to thirty-four goals, and then to the forty-four goals in the third season, Yang Yang not only repeatedly subverted the outside world's impression of him, but also constantly broke Benitez's tactical ceiling for him. He made an exception for him again.

As the Guardian once said, it was n’t Benitez that changed his stubbornness, but Yang Yang was so strong that Benitez had to make compromises because he had never seen him like Yang Yang. Strong player.

Now, when it comes to Real Madrid, the situation is still the same.

Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Robben and Kaka, Benitez suddenly gathered a lot of talented superstars, he seems obviously a little powerless, especially in the team's offense.

But from another perspective, Real Madrid really needs Benitez.

...

Florentino is an old fan who has watched football for decades, he knows professional football very well.

Around him, Valdano is also a glorious European-level star, Zidane is also a legendary superstar in the European football, as well as Real Madrid Five Eagles Padresa and Butragueno and others, all selected. The legend of Real Madrid Hall of Fame.

These people also know professional football very well.

As early as Florentino decided to return to Bernabeu, he and his group of people worked together to formulate a set of rigorous plans. As a football club, in addition to business and daily operations, the success of competition Is the most decisive.

How to succeed at the competitive level?

Then look at the most successful team.

Liverpool have nothing to learn, except for their players and their dressing room.

On the contrary, it is a rival enemy Barcelona. This team that has completely changed the technical and tactical concept of European football has brought the most profound shock to Florentino and all his men.

Many people mentioned that Barcelona only mentioned their pass and control, but in fact, in the eyes of professionals such as Bardano and Zidane, Barcelona ’s most important thing is not their pass and control ability, but in Behind this ability, Guardiola has created a high-level defensive system for this team and their full physical fitness.

The strict high-level pressure and defensive system allows Barcelona to put more pressure on its opponents, get the ball back in the shortest time, and ensure the stability of his team's defense. This is a new idea of ​​combining offense and defense.

And the ample body allows Barcelona players to make more and more active runs on the court.

To a certain extent, defense and physical fitness are the most important aspects of Guardiola's improvement on Rijkaard's team. It is also a key factor for Barcelona to sweep the entire European football.

But for Real Madrid at that time, the best transmission and control players in the world were all in Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid did not have a systematic transmission control gene like Barcelona. Then, for the objective laws of football, this made Floren Tino couldn't do it in one fell swoop, creating a pass-and-control team similar to Barcelona in Bernabeu directly out of thin air.

This is impossible and unrealistic.

What should I do?

Step by step!

Barcelona's pass-and-control football consists of three parts. Skillful pass-and-control, rigorous high position pressure and pressure on defense and physical fitness are all indispensable. Among them, physical fitness is not difficult to achieve. The really difficult ones are the first two.

Skilled pass and control requires excellent midfield players, but looking at the current European football, except for Valencia ’s David Silva, there are no players who can play in Real Madrid, and Bat The elf king of the legion failed to transfer to Bernabeu in the summer of 2009.

Looking at European football, there are not many defensive tactical masters. Mourinho and Benitez are among the best. Both of these famous coaches are known for their good defensive systems, especially Benitet. Sri Lanka, the high position of the double midfielder forcing the oppressive play, is his famous stunt. From Valencia to Liverpool, they have achieved success.

So the answer was obvious. Real Madrid gave up Ancelotti, Benitez took his team to Bernabeu, took on the task of building a rigorous defensive system for Real Madrid, and at the same time took the sniping of Barcelona The burden.

Five to zero away victory over Barcelona, ​​almost all of the goals scored in the counterattack, Real Madrid's entire game possession rate is only half of Barcelona, ​​showing that Benitez's play has already achieved initial success.

Next, let's look at Benitez's training of the team's backcourt and back line.

But neither Florentino nor Zidane and Valdano will regard Benitez as the future of Real Madrid, or the Real Madrid they are expecting.

Benitez can't play that set, and many Real Madrid players can't play it.

…………

…………

Manuel Redondo sent Yang Yang to go out, and returned to the box after he got in the car.

Florentino urged him to strengthen his support for Benitez, because it is not the key to determine Benitez's success or failure.

There are only two situations that can shake Benitez's handsome position. One is that management feels that Benitez has been unable to achieve the goals of management, that is, it cannot help the team build a stable and rigorous high-level forced oppression system. .

Another is that he helped the team achieve this goal.

Although the latter is a bit cruel, this is professional football.

"To be honest, our current team's lineup configuration is indeed biased towards counterattack, which is not conducive to the league." Baldano said with a frown.

Before the injury, Kaka, Robben, Sneijder, and even Xavi Alonso were all players who favored the counterattack type, which is also a helpless choice.

Needless to say, Kaka, he is one of Real Madrid ’s few superstar goals, Robben and Sneijder are staying in the team, Xavi Alonso is one of the best organization midfielders in active service, Real Madrid has no chance Election, unless digging from Barcelona.

This is why Florentino will never consider Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese are also a counterattack player. After having a comprehensive player like Yang Yang, there is no need to introduce the Portuguese and aggravate Real Madrid. Elements of the counterattack within the team.

After all, tactics still require players to perform, too many counterattack players, which will be detrimental to Real Madrid's future transformation.

And everyone, including Florentino, Valdano and Zidane, agreed that Barcelona's tactics will be the future development direction of football skills and tactics, and will completely change the concept of technology and tactics in European football.

Why can't Real Madrid take a counterattack?

The reason is very simple, this type of play is still feasible in the Champions League, but in La Liga, all teams are strictly defended against Real Madrid, where is the chance to fight back?

The two games against Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao are the best examples.

These opponents defending zero to zero is considered a victory. Where will they easily give you space to fight back?

Therefore, in La Liga, the control team has an advantage.

Of course, the ideal situation is to integrate counterattack and control.

This idea was proposed by Zidane and it is very tempting, but how to implement it is still being explored by everyone.

Thinking of this, Florentino turned to look at Zidane.

The special consultant immediately understood the meaning of the chairman's eyes.

"I think you should reconsider my proposal, go to the first team, learn more experience, you are the future we are looking forward to." Florentino said seriously.

Yang Yang is valued on the court, and Zidane is expected on the side of the court. This is the policy formulated by Florentino when he returned to Bernabeu.

Zidane smiled bitterly, "Let me think about it again."

"You have been thinking about it for half a year."

"But I don't have the qualification to teach now."

"Then go to the exam, we will reimburse you." Florentino pressed hard.

Zidane is depressed, is he like someone who can't afford the training?

Both Redondo and Valdano pretended to be eating, but were actually snickering.

If this scene spreads, the whole world will laugh crazy.

Is this still Zidane they admire?

But in turn, it can be seen that the relationship between Zidane and Florentino is extraordinary.

"It was so decided. Manuel arranged for you to study with Benitez." Florentino said undoubtedly. After a pause, he looked at Zidane again, his tone relaxed Soft, even with a little help.

"Our dressing room now needs someone like you to strengthen the communication between the coaching staff and the players."

Zidane couldn't refuse it.

From the day he promised to be Florentino's special assistant, he knew that it was a matter of time.
