Capello is on
On the evening of April 5, the Madrid Bernabeu Stadium was packed.
Real Madrid has shown a strong rebound in recent times, especially after beating Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Whether it is the media, fans, or bookmakers, their impression of Real Madrid has changed a lot.
The most direct manifestation is that Real Madrid's promotion odds have increased.
Although it is still not as good as Juventus, at least it has the strength to fight.
Real Madrid fans generally agree with this change of the team, especially after the defeat of Barcelona, but they still have some concerns, because the Real Madrid coached by Gao Shen is still too conservative.
Fortunately, tonight is said to be a massive attack.
Ronaldo came back against Barcelona. Zidane, Beckham, and Raul were all in the team. This made Real Madrid still star-studded, with superstars gathered, and the players were in good condition. The kind of offensive football of the period, destroying Juventus at home.
Before the game, the media hyped it up like this, especially after the team's roster came out and found that Ronaldo was on the list, everyone basically thought the same.
Everyone can see that Real Madrid needs to attack tonight!
...
Florentino came to the Bernabeu again.
Since the Madrid derby, he has come to the Bernabeu to watch almost every home game.
Many people think that this is a signal that he is actively planning for a comeback, but except to watch the game, everything else is very low-key, even the lawyer named Calderon on the board of directors is more active than him, no matter how you look at it. Comeback.
He has many friends in Spain, especially after he became the president of Real Madrid, he made more political and business celebrities.
Before entering his own box, he went to other friends' boxes to visit and greet him, which had become his routine.
Many people don't know that, in fact, Florentino is also the chairman of a Real Madrid fan club.
Of course, this fan meeting is not easy. The members who can enter are all the most die-hard fans of Real Madrid, and all of them are famous wealthy people in Spain and even Europe.
The current president of Real Madrid, Martin, is also a member of this fan club, and he is also the earliest established member.
When Florentino met his friends, of course the most discussed game was tonight's game, especially Ronaldo.
Among the superstars, Raul, Beckham and Zidane are the most trusted players, but only Ronaldo is frozen.
Now that he is back, everyone is still looking forward to seeing Real Madrid reproduce the superstar lineup of the Galaxy Battleship era.
For many Real Madrid fans, watching football is not only for winning, but also a kind of enjoyment, a kind of appreciation for the art of genius.
So, they can't even accept that the team uses ugly football to win.
In the lap before the race, Florentino collected a lot of information.
Some of them were already known to him, for example, Martin actually delegated the power to renew players to Gao Shen, and some he heard about for the first time, for example, Martin was actually secretly contacting Eriksen, and board member Calderon was actually contacting Capello.
"Is the news reliable?" Florentino asked Manuel Redondo when he returned to his box.
The personal assistant is also his intelligence officer.
"It's been confirmed, the news is true, Eriksen is more recognized for taking control of Real Madrid, but Bosque seems to be very resistant, and Calderon contacted Capello through Mijatovic."
Florentino has now connected all kinds of information in series.
In fact, in football circles, it is not too big or too small.
Just like Calderon, he is a member of Real Madrid's board of directors, and he has a lot of power to speak, but in fact?
He has no resume resources in the football circle.
In other words, if he comes out to run for the president of Real Madrid, who will kill him?
He doesn't even know how to formulate a policy program. He doesn't know anything about how football is played. How can he fix it?
Therefore, he needs to pull people to partner with him, and he needs someone who understands the ball to help him.
Florentino brought Valdano, and Calderon brought Mijatovic.
But here is the problem.
The current president of Barcelona, Laporta, didn't understand the ball at the beginning, so he cooperated with Roselle. Roselle introduced a vote of Brazilian stars including Ronaldinho for him. Lord, Roselle was struck out last December.
And Gaspart, the former president of Barcelona, why did the vice-chairman do such a good job, but he couldn't be the president?
Because he lacks human resources, he can only draw more people to partner, but the more people, the more dispersed the power, coupled with the various conflicts of interest within his own ruling team, he can't do anything at all, and Barcelona is also in darkness.
"Do you want me to talk to Calderon?" Redondo asked. He felt that the lawyer was too active recently.
Florentino raised his head slightly, tsk tsk, "No, Martin has been too smooth lately, he should put some pressure on him, Calderon is a supporting role and can't be on the stage."
After listening to it more, Redon thought about it, and it was right.
If you want to come out and choose the chairman, you can't do it with such a simple sentence.
Florentino walked into his box and saw Butragueno and Valdano talking there.
These two are his most trusted right-hand men. The key is that they both know the ball very well.
"What are you talking about?" Florentino walked over with a smile.
"We're discussing tonight's game." Valdano replied with a smile, pointing to Butragueno next to him and teasing, "Emilio said that even he doesn't know what tactics Gao Shen will use tonight."
"Really?" Florentino was a little surprised.
Butragueno nodded awkwardly, "This kid has a very strong sense of confidentiality. He not only abolished many of Valdebebas' rules, but also strictly controls the players. It is difficult for us to find out the specific strategy now."
This point is contrary to Florentino's policy program, he pays attention to the eyeball effect.
But Florentino was not annoyed, and laughed.
"It's been said outside that he's going to play offensive football tonight, and I'm looking forward to it." Florentino said cheerfully.
Valdano shook his head, "In this case, the risk is too great."
"Yeah, you must never score away goals for Juventus." Butragueno frowned.
But no one knew what Gao Shen would think.
The away game is 0-0. How to play at home is also an interesting suspense.
To score goals, but not to score goals for the opponent, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?
Therefore, many people say that the away goal in the Champions League knockout is one of the greatest rules in the professional football league, which greatly enriches the suspense and interest of the knockout.
"What about Capello? Will he score away goals?" Florentino asked curiously.
This is also very possible.
Because as long as Juventus grabs one away goal, Real Madrid must score two goals, which is a great thing no matter how you look at it.
But again, risk and reward are directly proportional.
If Juventus can grab the away goal, it will be a good thing, but what if they can't grab the away goal, but the defense is neglected because of the attack, and Real Madrid scores the goal, what should we do?
Capello is best at defending and 1-0. If Real Madrid scored the first goal, then with a sophisticated and wretched personality, he would stand up directly and defend until you are in ruins. Then you Juventus will not be able to press out to attack?
Juventus on the defensive and counterattack is one of the top teams in Europe, but Juventus can be pressed to attack, so I don't know.
"With Capello's character, it is estimated that it will start smoothly." Valdano guessed.
Butragueno pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Personality can't be changed, it's something in one's bones.
While we were chatting, the starting lineups for both teams came out.
...
...
Goalkeeper Buffon, back line is Chiellini, Cannavaro, Thuram and Zambrotta, midfield are Nedved, Emerson, Vieira and Camoranesi, double The striker is Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic.
In the locker room, when Gao Shen got the Juventus starting lineup, he couldn't help shouting excitedly, "Shizard!"
442, Capello still chose what he thought was the safest and safest formation and tactics.
There are no bright spots, no surprises, but it is stable enough!
Lucas, Maqueda, Buenaventura and others around him were also overjoyed, because Gao Shen guessed correctly.
From the psychological warfare before the game, and then the public opinion, Gao Shen wanted to make Juventus adopt the four-four-two tactics.
Because only in this way will this point of Nedved be exposed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Of course, even if Gao Shen doesn't build momentum, Capello has a high probability of making this choice. What Gao Shen does is just fuel the flames.
There are not too many surprises in Real Madrid's starting lineup.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Felipe, Woodgate, Ramos and Abeloa, the double midfielder is Gravesen and De La Reid, and the front line is Raul, Zidane and Beckham, the center is Negredo.
This is also the main lineup that Gao Shen has used frequently in recent times, and there are no surprises.
The game has progressed to this point. Although changes can cause accidents, they can also lead to confusion.
It's like changing the commander in battle in ancient times.
Winning is a great story and a legend, but more often, it is just a joke.
When the players warmed up on the court, Gao Shen announced Juventus' starting lineup to them, and everyone could feel the excitement and eagerness in Gao Shen's heart.
Real Madrid has already set up a trap formation. Now that Juventus has walked into it, how could they not be excited?
Gao Shen smiled as he looked at the players in front of him. He felt he didn't even need to motivate them too much because they were already full of fighting spirit and determination.
Tonight, Real Madrid really has a chance to advance!
"If you need motivation and encouragement, I believe I don't need to say much; you all know it in your hearts."
"I believe that at this moment, you are as excited and hungry as I am, but I still want to remind you, do not make mistakes and do not give our opponents even the slightest chance!"
The players nodded vigorously, making a promise.
"Finally, Real Madrid warriors, walk into the Bernabeu Stadium and reclaim the glory that belongs to you!"
