"Huh~ It's really worthy of being the champion coach who has won the Big Ears Cup twice, and he is really courageous~" An hour before the start of the game, looking at the starting list of Real Madrid that had just arrived, George couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I actually put Raul, who was not sick or sick, on the bench, Heathfield is betting on his future in Real Madrid...... If Real Madrid had lost today or had not performed well, he would have been drowned out by the fans and the media after the game. ”

"That's right. But George, in this way, if we want to win this game, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult. Hearing George's words, the elder Charlie first nodded approvingly, and then said worriedly, "Raul and Guti did not start, but replaced Robinho and Baptista, which is enough to raise Real Madrid's threat in attack and the defensive enthusiasm of the frontcourt players to a higher level." I think we should be ready to talk to the players after the warm-up and let them pay more attention to Real Madrid's counter-attacks in the game. ”

This is not to say that George and Charlie Sr. despise Raul and Guti and think they are not worthy of their name. In fact, for Raul and Guti, George is very appreciative of both in his past life and now. The reason why he thinks that Real Madrid without Raul and Guti will become more difficult to deal with is because in his opinion, Raul and Guti are indeed not suitable for the current Real Madrid team, and forcibly putting them in the starting lineup will not only not play their due role, but will have the effect of one plus one less than two!

Guti is indeed talented and loyal to Real Madrid, but his years of substitute career and erratic position on the field have made it difficult for the Golden Wolves to find an accurate positioning, and their state is not very stable. On top of that, until now, Guti's defensive motivation has been so bad that it makes it difficult for him to find a place in the main lineup!

You must know that in the current Real Madrid team, Zidane and Ronaldo are the core players who deserve to be. Guti's status in the dressing room was too high to overshadow the duo – otherwise, he wouldn't have been sitting on the bench waiting for his chance to play.

Zinedine Zidane can be less involved in defense due to his fitness and age, and Ronaldo can be a little lazy on the defensive end with his status as Mr. Double and top scorer. But in a world where the emphasis is on everyone's participation in defence, it can be extremely difficult for a team to win a game if it has more than three players who don't have a good defensive attitude. So, if Guti can't make positive changes in defence, then his position at Real Madrid will always be a jack-of-all-trades substitute!

As for Raul. The Lord of the Rings is indeed very low-key, diligent enough, and quite defense, but unfortunately, the arrival of Zidane and Ronaldo has greatly compressed Raul's activity space, and has also had a very serious negative impact on the competitive state of the Real Madrid captain!

Heathfield had no idea of taking care of Raul's emotions. In the eyes of serious Germans, since Raul is inefficient in scoring goals, it should give way to players in better form - this is a major matter related to jobs and futures, and Heathfield cannot make a choice to make a pit because of Raul's emotions.

"Well, Charlie, you have a point. Real Madrid, who have won Raul and Guti, will be much tougher to deal with than they were last season, and George is clearly aware of that, "but Charlie, you don't have to worry too much about that. You must know that Robinho and Baptista have only joined Real Madrid not long ago, and they have not yet found their position in the team, and the lack of tacit understanding is enough to have a decisive impact on their performance in the game. Not to mention, Robinho, a young guy who has just landed in Europe, has obvious deficiencies in physical confrontation, and Ronaldo's poor defensive motivation is also a well-known thing. Therefore, even if Heathfield has a plan for a counter-robbery in the frontcourt, he does not have this condition to implement. ”

Now for a brief introduction to Real Madrid's line-up. Goalkeeper Casillas, the four defenders from left to right are Robert Carlos, Elgra, Ramos and Salgado, Danish butcher Gravesson and academy youngster De La Red partner in the back, Beckham returns to the right midfield, the forward is the Brazilian beast Baptista, and the forward line is a combination of Robinho and Ronaldo!

By the way, George had intended for Atletico Madrid to sign Ramos, thus giving the Sheets a defensive core and team leader that could be used for a decade, and weakening Real Madrid by the way. However, in the face of the simultaneous recruitment of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Ramos chose the former without hesitation, and did not give Atletico a chance to dig into the corner of Real Madrid at all!

Although Heathfield's lineup managed to surprise George, George didn't let this surprise deceive him. After all, from the day he bought Tottenham Hotspur and became the head coach of this team, George has always paid great attention to the offensive and defensive balance of the squad, and has brought in players with good attitudes and high defensive enthusiasm. What's more, Tottenham Hotspur has now managed to rise to the top and become Champions League winners, while Real Madrid are still on a difficult road to revival. So, no matter how you look at it, Tottenham's strength is better than Real Madrid!

With the strength stronger than the opponent and his own side ready for the game, what reason does George have to panic and disrupt the plan because of a personnel change from his opponent?

Goalkeeper Petr Cech, right-back McConn, left-back Patrice Evra, centre-backs Ledley King and Nemanja Vidic, midfield triangle of Alonso, Mascherano and Gerrard, Arjen Robben on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo on the right, and Drogba in the middle. This is Tottenham's starting eleven in this Champions League group stage tonight, and it is also the strongest squad in George's mind!

Seeing that Drogba was included in the starting list, but he still had to sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity, although Klose didn't say anything, he was depressed in his heart - the reason why K God chose to stay at Tottenham in the summer is because he feels that there are still many things to learn and absorb here, which can further improve his strength!

That aside, Klose, who doesn't like the cold and damp climate of London, would actually prefer to return to Germany and play for a team that can give him a regular place in the team, rather than continue to share playing time with Drogba here!

"Looks like I should think more about myself...... At the end of the season, it would be a good option to move to a team that suits him better, as David (Villa) and Frank [Franck Franck] did. Glancing at Drogba, who was excited to get the starting line-up, Klose made such a decision in his heart!
