Super Storm

Although the whole world is looking forward to this matchup between Yang Yang and Van Gaal, in fact, for Real Madrid, after finishing Manchester United, the focus of preparations has once again shifted to La Liga.

The team must start preparing for the match against Barcelona.

Although there is a matchup against Santander in the middle of this game.

Unlike the first century derby, this time Real Madrid is at home to play against Barcelona.

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona scored 2-2 away at home and 4-1 at home, eliminating Arsenal in the Premier League and successfully progressing to the quarterfinals. Messi staged a big four in the second round and won Cheers.

And Mourinho's Inter Milan also defeated the Moscow Central Army in two rounds, 1-0.

As a result, the UEFA Champions League semi-final matchup became Real Madrid against Bayern Munich and Barcelona against Inter Milan.

Everyone is eagerly looking forward to, if Barcelona can eliminate Inter Milan in the semifinals, it is likely that they will meet with Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and this game will be more exciting.

The second Century Derby this season has undoubtedly become a preview of the Champions League final in everyone's eyes.

Barcelona want to reverse Real Madrid in La Liga, they must win the opponent in Bernabeu, and Real Madrid want to maintain a five-point lead, must also remain unbeaten at home, both sides can be said that there is no escape route.

What's more, in the first Century Derby this season, Real Madrid broke Barcelona 5-0 at the Camp Nou.

It can be said that this battle has attracted worldwide attention!

...

Benitez also attaches great importance to this, even to a certain extent, Santander is not within the preparation of Real Madrid, because after a long period of adjustment and running in Barcelona, ​​the team is running more and more. The smoother.

It can be said that Barcelona is now stronger than last year, and the ability to pass and control the ball is also better.

How do you play against such a team?

Benitez is well prepared, and the strategy he has given is a three-pointer.

The day after playing Manchester United, Benitez held an internal meeting of the team, emphasizing that the tactic of playing Barcelona will be a defensive counterattack and explaining the reason for this.

"There are a lot of objective factors for playing Barcelona in the first round, that is, Barcelona's physical fitness at that time was significantly different from us, and our start was going smoothly."

Benitez will not admit that Real Madrid players will not say, but in fact, everyone knows that the attack strategy developed by Real Madrid before that game was a failure, because since the start, Real Madrid has been very passive .

To a certain extent, without Yang Yang ’s direct free kick, whether Real Madrid can leave the Camp Nou intact in that game is still an unknown number, not to mention the five-ball goal. Beat the opponent.

Because of this, although the outside world has very high expectations for Real Madrid, it is always clear inside Real Madrid. With the current situation of the team, to play Barcelona, ​​if you take an offensive tactic, it is simply to hit the stone with an egg.

Real Madrid's best choice for defensive counterattack!

Since it is a defensive counterattack, it is necessary to come up with a defensive counterattack.

Benitez intends to adopt a three-back strategy, which was the tactic used by Liverpool when they defeated Barcelona.

Real Madrid's current midfielder position has Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Las Diarra, Gago and Granero. Guti can also play, but he is obviously not Benitez The type of back waist you want.

Therefore, if there is no accident, the starting three back should be selected among several others, depending on the next state of these players.

The back line is not a big problem, Pepe is injured, after reimbursing the entire season, the combination of Ramos and Fermalen's central defender has performed well. Aveloja on the right is also the main team. Maxwell and Marcelo's appointment, there is no big problem, the four guards should not change.

So, when Benitez announced that he would take a three-waist play, both Sneijder and Robben clearly felt nervous.

Even the two of them looked at each other coincidentally, with more competition and worries in their eyes.

The positions of Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang will not move. The two are the main players who can't move. They will definitely be there as long as they are not injured or sick.

Robben ’s performance this season is indeed surprising, and his attendance rate has stabilized. It seems that Winston Bogard ’s special training is still very effective, but he is a Calderon player. Well, the status is not as good as Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic.

Sneijder is currently in a state of bravery, arguably one of the best players in the team, but his situation is also very embarrassing, especially considering that once Kaka returns, the Dutch midfielder must give up the main position .

With four backs and three backs, Yang Yang and Ibrahimović are in a solid position, so it will only be one of Sneijder and Robben who loses position, depending on who it is.

...

Benitez will not easily announce the starting lineup, especially since there is more than a week away from Century Derby. He needs to examine the performance and status of the players, so he will not make a decision easily.

He also expects players in the team to come up with better strength and status to compete for the main position.

However, in the internal meeting, Benitez spent more than an hour to explain to all players his idea of ​​defending Barcelona, ​​most of them were used in Liverpool during the original period, and determined to effectively defend Barcelona The plan is only improved in some details.

The four players Yang Yang, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and Aveloa are all familiar with this style of play. It is not difficult to understand, and it is not unfamiliar, but the others are a bit hard. .

In short, Benitez's defensive system requires players to understand more, and then to implement it after understanding, so he will be carefully arranged to make each player understand what he wants to do.

His style of play requires patience in defense, and players must maintain good coordination with each other.

In addition, Benitez is not the kind of self-styled person, he also adjusted for Real Madrid's player characteristics, such as the back line, the combination of Ramos and Fairmaren, obviously better than Carragher and Scott. The combination of Seoul is faster and more flexible, the feet are thinner and the ability to shoot the ball is stronger, but the anti-high ball is obviously inferior.

And Ibrahimovic, this guy is simply an enhanced version of Crouch.

But there is no player like Kuyt in Real Madrid.

After the meeting, Benitez also conducted a defensive exercise in the afternoon training class. The focus is on those that were studied at the meeting before the exercise to deepen the player's impression. This will also be the most for Real Madrid in the next week. An important preparation.

…………

…………

After the training session, the players all left Valdebebas one after another.

Yang Yang is still the same as usual, stay and practice.

Ibrahimovic, Fermalen, Robben and Maxwell all stayed with him, but they all left one after another.

They are different from Yang Yang, a training maniac, and high-intensity training is also a consumption for them.

After all, they don't have a cheater like a super training ground to recover quickly.

Sneijder stayed at the end, but basically watched from the sidelines.

He has something!

With Yang Yang's many years of understanding of the Dutch midfielder, he knew that Sneijder must have something to find him.

After the training was over, the coaches and staff who accompanied him were sent away. Yang Yang and Sneijder walked to the dressing room side by side.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yang asked with no one on the road.

Sneider laughed bitterly, knowing that he could not hide Yang Yang, "I want to tell you something."

"Very important?" Yang Yang saw the serious expression on Sneijder's face.

"Uh." Sneijder nodded.

Yang Yang stopped and frowned, looking at Sneijder and saying he was listening.

"I want to leave Real Madrid!" Sneijder said softly.

Yang Yang opened his eyes, obviously a little surprised, but soon he realized some details he just ignored.

Sneijder was telling him instead of asking his opinion. This was obviously because Sneijder had already made a decision.

"why?"

Sneijder saw Yang Yang's surprised expression, and it was somewhat guilty, because a year ago, Yang Yang persuaded Florentino, he was able to stay in the team, but now he has to leave.

"Actually, you know, I should have left a year ago."

Yang Yang understands that Sneijder looks kind on the surface, and is actually a very proud person, and he is also very emotional, so when he divorced and could not see his daughter, he almost collapsed .

But because of his heavy feelings, he could not accept what the Real Madrid club and fans did to him.

"The reason why I stayed is partly because of you, and partly because I want to prove my worth. Now that I have done it, many teams want to get me. I can leave Real Madrid more expensive. Transfer fee, this should not count as I have lost to Real Madrid. "

Sneijder said that there was a sense of conscience.

"It does n’t make sense to me to stay, because the main force next season will be Kaka, I do n’t want to go back to the days when I could n’t play before, so I want to trust me and be willing to give My main position team. "

"For example?"

"Maybe Inter Milan, maybe Manchester United, or Chelsea, or Bayern Munich ... I don't know." Sneijder shook his head, he didn't seem to have contacted the team yet.

But his determination to leave the team has been very firm.

Suddenly Yang Yang felt a little uncomfortable, because reunion with his old friends was the thing he was most happy about when he came to Real Madrid, but he didn't expect to be separated again a year later.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and squeezed Ned's shoulders hard, just like he was in Ajax, and walked side by side to the locker room without saying a word.

He knew that Sneijder must have not told anyone else, including management.

And he also concluded that every next game, Sneijder will do his best to show himself, he wants to prove to everyone, and use the best performance to fight for transfer benefits.

Perhaps, for professional players, separation is normal.
