Chapter 083: The opponent is a submarine
Calderón's Real Madrid, although they won two league titles, looked very chaotic, which is also a continuation of Real Madrid's chaos from Florentino.
Leon didn't want to wade into troubled waters.
"Help me refuse. Leon said.
"That's Real Madrid!" Betty stressed again, not without regret in her words.
"So what?" Li Ang laughed, "The current Real Madrid team is not as good as my Inter Milan. ”
Li Ang's words are really not bragging, now his Inter Milan is indeed stronger than Real Madrid, those superstars in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship are already old, Zidane will retire after the end of this season, Ronaldo and Figo have come to Inter Milan.
As for Inter Milan, Ronaldo is back in top form, Adriano is also beautiful, and Aguero is on the bench.
There are also youngsters such as Juan Mata and Luka Modric and Carlos in midfield, and at the back, the combination of Samuel and Cordoba is solid, much better than Real Madrid's colander at the back.
The two full-backs, captain Zanetti needless to say, the combination of McCone and Patrice Evra is the best wide combination in football for many years to come.
Goalkeeper Cesar is also very strong.
Leon's Inter Milan is getting better, so why is he wading into Real Madrid's troubled waters?
Let Betty reject Calderon, and Leon will not think about it.
***********
In the match with Parma, Inter Milan was forced to draw by the opponent, in addition to the fact that Parma is desperate for relegation, there is another reason, Leon has made a large rotation in this game, and he has to stay for the first leg of the upcoming Champions League quarterfinals.
Inter Milan's opponent in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League is Villarreal from La Liga.
For the La Liga team that reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in history, the Italian media is generally bearish, and they have said that Inter Milan has drawn a good lottery and believes that Inter Milan will easily advance.
Even some Inter Milan players have this idea, thinking that this opponent is a soft persimmon.
However, Li Ang clearly did not see it that way, and he reprimanded the players for their underdog mentality in training.
If he remembers correctly, Inter Milan were eliminated by Villarreal this season.
Leon played against Villarreal when he was in charge of Sporting Gijón, and the submarine was more difficult to deal with, while Villarreal in 2005/2006 was clearly more mature.
At the tactical analysis meeting before the game, Li Ang's expression was serious, and the players did not dare to be careless and listened carefully.
"Their Argentinian goalkeeper, Barbosa, is tall, has a wide range of control and is quick to react. ”
'So, this is a goalkeeper who likes to attack, you have to pay attention. Leon said.
'However, this goalkeeper has his drawbacks. As he spoke, Leon drew an arc on the tactical board.
"Barbosa's judgment of the high ball and the timing of the attack are still relatively naïve. ”
"His handling of the high ball and the judgment of where the cross landed were also poor," he said, and Leon nodded before assistant coach Banderas was seen playing an edited video of the game, in which Barbosa could be seen at a loss for some of the high balls.
After talking about the goalkeeper, here are the defenders.
Villarreal's regular backline is a centre-back combination of Gonzalo + Alvarez and a full-back combination of Penta + Arua Barina.
Leon particularly emphasized the name of Gonzalo Rodriguez, the young Argentine central defender has played at a very high level this season, although the physical condition is not outstanding, but his complement and defensive awareness, positional sense, and the choice of tackle timing are impeccable, this season the submarine's defense is almost unbreakable, he has contributed greatly, many fans see him as the iron central defender of the future giants and Argentina's defensive security for the next ten years.
"Gonzalo has a good sense of position, likes to tackle and has good timing!" Leon said.
"However, his physical confrontation is slightly worse. As he spoke, Leon glanced at Adriano, who nodded understandingly, Adriano's strong body would be a sharp weapon against Gonzalo.
Gonzalo's partner at centre-back was Villarreal's veteran captain Alvarez, the spiritual leader on the pitch who was level-headed, very tough and decisive one-on-one, not tall but with an excellent header.
"Alvarez is old, his weakness is speed!" Leon looked at Ronaldo as he spoke, "Ronnie should know this!"
The 'alien' cracked his mouth and smiled, yes, when he was at Real Madrid, he played against Villarreal many times, and he was familiar with the old captain of Villarreal.
"Benta is their right-back, he's very fierce in fit, he's very daring to get down and tackle, and he's got a good individual technique. ”
"He likes to pass diagonally at a 45-degree angle, and he has the most tacit cooperation with Senna and Riquelme, so everyone should pay attention. ”
"However, he can be a little reckless at times. Leon glanced at the players as he spoke, with an expression that everyone understood, and the players immediately laughed.
Villarreal's left-back Arua Barina has been famous for a long time, and he was the main player of Boca Juniors in South America at the beginning of the century!
"Arubarina's defence is very solid and his style is very tenacious and positive. ”
"It's worth noting that this player likes to put in assists!" said Leon, drawing a parabola on the tactical board, "Aru Abarena is where our chances are to counter-attack!"
"Villarreal's midfielders need to pay extra attention," said Leon.
Subsequently, he specially named Senna's name, for Senna, Leon admired it very much, when he was in Sporting Gijón, if it wasn't for Villarreal, Leon would have planned to introduce Senna.
Senna was later selected for the 2006 World Cup in Germany in the Spanish national team squad, and even played the main team! The reason is very simple, Senna that season was indeed impeccable, and the media even believed that after Makelele left La Liga, the closest to his peak level was indeed 2005/ Senna in 2006, the ultra-high one-on-one confrontation rate, the number of individual passes and pass success rates in the top three in La Liga, and the ultra-low conceded ball rate and turnover rate, these may be enough to show his strength, because these are just personal data.
