Chapter 19: A Different Feeling
Their biggest problem is that they don't have money, and this is not a common problem for them, as is the case with many teams in La Liga, except for the two teams in the Spanish Super League. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is not the Bundesliga, there is a limit to the lack of money in the Bundesliga, their financial situation is generally good, but La Liga does not have the same institutional constraints as 50+1, and many clubs in La Liga are operating in debt and surviving.
This kind of economic suppression has to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona, they have the same huge influence as Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Real Madrid is the only team that has won the Champions League five times in a row, that is the Champions League, when it was not worth much, it is also valuable now, and it is worth remembering football history.
And Barcelona is an unprecedented six-time winner in world football, and it is also very awesome, the difficulty is not ordinary, and now the loudest sign in world football is Barcelona, because he is known as the best looking football.
The appeal and purchasing power of these two clubs are not comparable to ordinary teams, they are clubs that dare to compete with local tyrants, even if businessmen are rich to buy other teams in La Liga, it is difficult to compete with them, because in the football world, no money is impossible, but in the eyes of players, money is at least not everything, some things are more important than money.
The influence of La Liga itself is not as good as the Premier League, and it may not even be comparable to Serie A and Bundesliga, and the broadcast fee income is a large part of the team's income, but La Liga is not engaged in package sales, but the teams talk to the TV station themselves.
Is there anything else to say about this?! Real Madrid and Barcelona of course eat meat, and the rest drink soup, resulting in a growing gap between the rich and the poor.
Capital investors need to have a lot of capital to leverage the dominance of these two companies and have to be patient enough, so the interest in La Liga teams is not particularly strong in market capital investment.
The owners of La Liga teams can only run properly and get by, and most of them want to drink a thicker soup behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Or just wait for the opportunity step by step, and you can't smash the two century-old stores with money and influence.
Generally speaking, the more open the league is actually the most competitive, Serie A is a relatively early open league, the "Little World Cup" is not only famous in China, but also in the European continent.
From the 90s to the early 21st century, they were at the top of Europe's top leagues for a long time, and the Premier League could not shake their supremacy, and their league competition was fierce.
But now this situation has changed, the change comes from money, the league without money is less competitive, no money here is a relative concept, Bayern Munich also has money, but other clubs have no money, Bayern Munich is more conducive to establishing a dominant position.
La Liga is also like this now, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the first group, they occupy an absolute advantage, and Valencia, Deportivo and so on in the past did not pose a long-term threat to them.
Mallorca qualified for the Europa League last season under Manzano, but due to financial problems, they were disqualified and failed to participate in the Europa League, and Manzano left the club with little prospects.
After the club was bought by a British businessman in the summer, Laudrup, who has a relationship with Real Madrid, and he also played for Real Madrid, and not only at Real Madrid, but also for a long time at Barcelona.
This is not the first time he has managed a La Liga team, he has coached Getafe, a small team from the outskirts of Madrid, and he was also a dark horse in La Liga.
Facing a strong Real Madrid, and Real Madrid clearly wanted to usher in a good start, Laudrup was very low-key, saying in the pre-match press conference: "Their quality is undoubtedly much higher than us, but sometimes the strength on the football field does not speak, we will do our best to make problems for them!" ”
He's low-key, but he's also courageous.
It is very important for the weak team to play the courage of the strong team, add a little luck, and it is not a problem to overturn the strong team.
Tactics are important for weak teams, but the most important thing is to take luck, luck is on your side, the opponent can't score.
A strong team contributed 30 shots in a game and 15 times in the middle of the goal without scoring, you have no reason to say that the tactics of the strong team are wrong, this is obviously bad luck, and it may not be useful to change another coach.
Mallorca opened the game under the arrangement of Laudrup, and he sent a formation of 442 diamond midfielders, originally intended to play a little confrontation with Real Madrid in the middle of the pass, but he was soon disappointed, Mourinho's 4231 was clearly to use the wing to attack.
Mallorca couldn't resist Real Madrid's wing impact just a few minutes later, especially on Ronaldo's side, he was too capable, and Mallorca struggled to defend him on the side.
So Laudrup had to put Nsue on the side and let him do a good job of helping Ronaldo defend.
The weak team generally has two ways to fight the strong team, one is to hit and rush, open the door with three axes, cut you three axes first, have the best results, shrink quickly if there are no results, and the other will start to defend and counterattack.
No matter which one it is, it is actually the head coach who is fighting wits and courage, Mourinho did not make significant changes to the players, he just wanted to use the tacit understanding of the original players to cut off some of the opponent's delusions, winning is very important, but accidentally losing, it will be a disaster for him, he will not be so stupid.
Since Laudrup chose to defend to the death, he must have warmed up in advance at the back, and Real Madrid really hit a nail.
And Laudrup wisely stared Higuain in the middle and Ronaldo on the left, and concentrated the main defensive control on the right side of the middle, which made Real Madrid extremely uncomfortable.
Real Madrid's players have a characteristic that they don't blame the manager for Mourinho, and they can't change it, at least so far, when encountering such a stubborn team, the players are often more impatient and like to use forced shots.
The result is self-evident, in the first 20 minutes, Zhang Yuan's teammates contributed 4 shots on goal, all of them were strong hits, there were no absolute chances, of course they didn't even touch the goal frame, Mourinho was annoyed on the sidelines, he was more patient than anyone else, he hoped that the players would also have enough patience, and the players seemed to have no patience.
Zhang Yuan, Ozil, and Khedira were all sitting on the bench, none of them spoke, and they were all silently observing the situation on the field.
Several of them are non-giants from the Bundesliga, and they will not face such a dense defensive opponent in the original game.
In the Bundesliga, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen, and Stuttgart are not "qualified" to let others open the door and put on a defensive posture.
This is especially true of Schalke 04 last season, in most cases they are even pressed by others, and anti-counterattack and fouls are the labels on Schalke 04.
From the beginning to now, Zhang Yuan finally found that La Liga is not as simple as imagined, this is a different feeling, the giants have the pressure of the giants, Mallorca is now making Real Madrid uncomfortable, such a confrontation will be the theme of Real Madrid in the league, Zhang Yuan feels that he must adjust himself.
Before the game, he still complained in his heart that he couldn't start, but now it's all gone, Mourinho is right, instead of going on the pitch, he should take a good look off the pitch to see what the actual La Liga game is like, what Real Madrid is like on the pitch, and seriously analyze how to play his energy on the right winger.
"It's not the same place as it used to be!" Zhang Yuan finally spoke out after interpreting the current situation.
Khedira nodded, but didn't speak.
Ozil also nodded, but said what Zhang Yuan wanted to say, "In the Bundesliga before, I rarely saw such a stubborn confrontation in Werder Bremen!" ”
"It's a problem to break down dense defenses!" Zhang Yuan went on to say that he didn't have any good ideas either.
Breaking down dense defence is not Mourinho's business alone, but the whole team, including the players, of course.
"It's hard for them to organise defensively, it's hard to break!" Ozil shook his head involuntarily, he didn't really have a good way.
As he said this, Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered what Beckham had said to him, and Beckham's words might be more applicable to Ozil.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan told Ozil and Khedira what Beckham had told him to "read his teammates".
The two of them were thoughtful, and after Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence again, quietly observing, Zhang Yuan was thinking about what he should do on the field? (To be continued.) )
