Chapter 501
Real Madrid did not get a break after the game against Sporting Gijon. Mourinho took the time to train. The opponent Tottenham Hotspur is not so easy to deal with.

Mourinho should be said to have a brilliant record in the Premier League, but he is not a fool. Of course he knows that the Premier League teams are difficult to deal with, especially Tottenham Hotspur. This was one of the opponents in the London derby that year. Chelsea wants to win Todt Nam Tottenham are very laborious.

The UEFA Champions League is not a place to pay attention to absolute strength. In many cases, luck is also very important, and tactical arrangements and performances on the spot are very important.

Before this game, several of Real Madrid's wounded have recovered one after another. Only Benzema is still recovering from his injuries. The loss to Sporting Gijon in the last game made Mourinho very angry. Now the most important part of the team Player Ronaldo has returned, and Mourinho is determined to return to Ronaldo tactics.

This kind of thinking has naturally declared that Zhang Yuan has no way to return to the starting lineup. Di Maria and Ozil, who are good at making clothes for Ronaldo, will definitely start. Mourinho will choose Adebayor for the center position. .

Higuain and Zhang Yuan are not in particularly good condition after recovery, but it would be better to have a strong center forward against the Premier League team, because the attack and defense transition of the Premier League team is very fast, and the stronger the team, the better. It is more skillful to use this aspect. At this time, the center is needed to fight the impact of positional warfare.

Breaking the iron barrel also requires a strong center to attack. Mourinho planned this way in the last game, but unfortunately Adebayor's "luck" is too bad and only blooms but not bears fruit.

Tottenham Hotspur is not Sporting Gijon. According to the habits of Premier League teams, they are not very good at defense. Their focus is still on the offensive power of the frontcourt, and Tottenham Hotspur's biggest The change is on the offensive end, they have never been a conservative team.

Mourinho also plans to give Adebayor a chance in this game. Of course, Adebayor's height is not the main factor. The most important factor is that Adebayor has spent a lot of time in the Premier League. Compared with Higuain And Zhang Yuan, he obviously knows how to entangle with the central defenders of the Premier League.

The current head coach of Tottenham Hotspur is the old Redknapp. He is very famous in the Premier League. In the past, coaches in the Premier League era had a common problem. They often engaged in some secret operations of players and enriched their own pockets. The impact on the team was not a big deal.

Under his leadership, Tottenham Hotspur began to frequently threaten the top four teams in the standings. Last season, they finally got their wish and qualified for the Champions League. In the Champions League group stage, they won 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The defending champion Inter Milan won the first place in the group.

In the first round of the knockout round, they eliminated another Milan giants AC Milan. Tottenham Hotspur almost conceded goals in the group stage. They scored 18 goals, but also conceded 11 goals. It was okay at home. The number of goals conceded in the away game is very large, and the number of goals conceded is the most among the top 16 teams.

But entering the knockout round, Lao Lei was clearly aware of this problem and focused on strengthening his defense. Facing AC Milan in the home and away rounds, Tottenham Hotspur did not concede a goal, and the quality of defense has been greatly improved.

What is AC Milan's striker line? Galliani calls it the strongest attack line in Europe. Although it is a bit boastful, but to be fair, AC Milan's striker line strength can also enter the top four in European football. Attack the line now!

But even such an attack line can't help Tottenham Hotspur's defense line, which is enough to explain the problem. In the end, Tottenham Hotspur relied on one goal to overthrow AC Milan, but they were not very lucky. To Real Madrid.

The attack line of the Galaxy Battleship is not boasting, they recognized the second, except for Barcelona who dared to recognize the first, probably no team dared to recognize it.

Lao Lei's focus is still on defense. He is an old cricket. In fact, he has not led the team to play a few times in the Champions League, but the general truth is still known.

He still focused on defense, but it is very difficult for the Premier League team to take the initiative to play turtle tactics, unless it is Mourinho or an Italian coach to tune it.

In the game on the night of April 4th, Lao Lei formed a 5 formation.

Goalkeeper: Gomez
Defender: Joel Luca Dawson Galla-Hector
Midfielder: Modric Jenas Sandrobel
Forward: Van der Vaart Crouch
In actual operation, van der Vaart is more like an attacking midfielder. The team's formation is 451. This tactic is no different from that against AC Milan. Lao Lei also knows that Real Madrid's midfielder can control the situation. Tottenham Tottenham can't defend.

Many fans may ask why Sporting Gijon can defend and why Tottenham Hotspur cannot. First of all, whether the bus can defend or not is always dependent on luck. Mourinho said that Real Madrid is not unlucky Reasonably, Sporting Gijon's defense may not be that strong, and they also gave Real Madrid a lot of shooting opportunities, but Real Madrid's players are really unlucky, and the threat to Sporting Gijon's gate is too small, Pablo's save is enough Explain this.

If Zhang Yuan's and the like really flashed out, the result of the game would be another situation.

The second problem is that the weak teams are used to playing the bus. Defense is their foundation. The player's ability may not be good, but in terms of tactics, they are definitely better than those who don't often use the bus.

Tottenham Hotspur did not have the habit of setting up buses in the Premier League, nor did they set up buses in the group stage. Lao Lei hurriedly ordered the team to defend intensively. He did not believe that his players could do it well, and he was not willing to do so. Pin his fate on Real Madrid's poor state and be merciful, so his way must choose to spend with Real Madrid in the midfield, and consume Real Madrid's direct threat to Tottenham Hotspur's gate.

Real Madrid is 4231 as usual.
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
Defender: Ramos, Pepe, Cavallo, Marcelo
Defender: Khedira Alonso

Attacking midfielder: Di Maria Ozil Ronaldo

Forward: Bam Adebayor

Kaka, Zhang Yuan, Higuain and others are waiting on the bench. Zhang Yuan doesn't complain much about not being selected for the starting lineup. One is that Mourinho has explained the current situation before, and the other is his performance in the game. His performance is far from being outstanding, maybe it can be described as qualified, at least the media is satisfied with his performance.

Kaka resumed training in December, but he is now in the same situation as Zhang Yuan and Higuain. It is difficult to hit the main lineup. The football world is like this. An injury may change the world, let alone Kaka injury After most of the season, it is so difficult to be the main force now.

"If there is a chance to play in the second half, let's help each other!" Zhang Yuan winked at Kaka, and began to engage in tandem and form cliques, this kid.

"Well! If there is an opportunity, we must seize it!" Kaka responded with a smile. He is more eager to score than Zhang Yuan. He needs to prove himself by scoring.

But to be honest, the chances of them playing at the same time are still relatively small. Unless the score of the stadium is more reliable, Mourinho will send them to find the feeling. If the score is very stalemate, Mourinho should only make some fine-tuning.

They both communicate in Italian so don't worry about being heard by other players, they don't understand anyway!

After all, few players learn foreign languages ​​patiently. Mesut Ozil and Khedira do not have a high level of Spanish. Zhang Yuan has a higher level of Spanish because of his ability to accept and the Chinese.

Higuain was sitting next to them but he couldn't understand what they were talking about. He was also very anxious. Everyone felt the same. He also desperately needed to take his place back. Now that Benzema is not here, Higuain I also hope that Adebayor is as unlucky as he was.

It's a pity that he failed to achieve his wish. After the opening, the Real Madrid players who were oppressed by Mourinho's words broke out with great passion and attacked like a wave. Lao Lei's idea is good and correct, but he can't stand Real Madrid's temperament today Very high.

Only 59 seconds into the opening, Ozil made a straight pass in the middle, and Ronaldo shot low with his left foot from 20 meters and missed the left post; 2 minutes later, Ronaldo swayed away from Sandro, and his shot with his left foot from 25 meters missed again.Then Ozil passed the ball, Adebayor knocked back in the penalty area, and Di Maria missed the goal with his left foot at 16 meters.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 4th minute. Ozil took a corner kick on the right. Adebayor headed the ball from 12 meters. Modric failed to stop the ball from rolling into the goal, 1-0!

Real Madrid took the lead so quickly, which is a bit beyond the expectations of the home and away teams. Mourinho is expressionless and pretends to be profound. Of course he is happy in his heart, but I believe the players can see this expression. Boss Mu may not be able to see it now. If you are satisfied, you have to work harder!
