Chapter 186: The National Derby is approaching

In the ninth round of La Liga, on October 19, after Real Madrid won Mallorca away, the whole team returned to the training match and actively prepared for the game.

The next day, Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane summoned the team to the tactics room to watch the Barcelona game.

In the La Liga national derby in the tenth round of La Liga, both Real Madrid and Barcelona attach great importance to it.

Despite the rhetoric on both sides, it was a tactical disdain and neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona saw the other as an easy opponent to deal with.

On this day, the whole Real Madrid team gathered in the tactics room.

In this game, Barcelona is still in a 4-3-3 formation, which is the mainstream style of Barcelona today, and it is still dominated by passing.

Of course, this lineup will also change to 4-2-3-1 when attacking.

Zinedine Zidane understands that this is Valverde's desire to maximise the role of Yile, who is not a traditional commander at Barcelona, and who sometimes even acts as an arrowhead.

The work that Yile needs to be responsible for is very diverse, such as organization, fulcrum, breakthrough, etc., which have been reflected in Yile.

Now Yile is a brick for Barcelona, where it needs to be moved.

The problem is that the quality of this brick is too good to handle all this variety, and even Zinedine Zidane, a former midfield maestrum, lamented Yile's versatility.

At the same time, Zidane was also heartbroken.

How did such a good player go to Barcelona!

What a wonderful thing it would be if Ele was in Real Madrid.

Of course, Zidane just thought about it, and he knew that the club's top management did not have any intention of bringing in Yile.

In his thoughts, the game had entered 15 minutes, and Yi Le's touch rate before this was not high, and most of them used a one-kick pass to devote more energy to observation.

At this time, many people thought that Yile was dumb, but Zidane knew very well that this was the most dangerous signal.

This represents what the Chinese star is planning.

Sure enough, in the 21st minute, Barcelona frequently used the wings to pull and put on a posture of focusing on Messi's wing, but when the opponent focused on Messi, Yile used a scalpel-like through ball to make Suarez's single knife.

Seeing this, not only Zidane, but even Ramos and others had extremely grim expressions.

They are in God's perspective, so they can see a lot of things, but they may also be confused by the fact that they are limited by their vision in the field.

Especially for this through ball, Yi Le drew an exaggerated arc directly with the outside instep after half turning, bypassing the opposing central defender and going straight to Suarez.

The latter doesn't need any adjustment at all, and shoots angrily and scores directly.

This kind of goal, even the Real Madrid players have to admit, it is a beautiful goal!

In the shot, Suarez ran to Yile, and the two high-fived and celebrated.

Looking at the big smile on TV, Modric's expression was extremely heavy.

The presence of such an opponent made him feel extremely urgent.

But the performance that belongs to Yile is far from over.

After the first goal, Barcelona began to play chicken blood, or rather, Yile completely opened.

Yi Le and Messi began to step forward frequently, disturbing the opponent's backline.

Messi needs to defend, and Yile needs to defend.

But when the two attack at the same time, the opposing player is confused.

Not to mention them, even the midfielders of Real Madrid feel a headache in the face of these two attacking at the same time.

In the 29th minute, Yile launched another attack on the left, Messi broke through with the ball, crossed from the bottom, and Suarez scored twice.

In the 34th minute, Yile scored with a direct free kick, and the score came to 3-0.

Seeing this, the Real Madrid players understood that the game was over.

At the same time, their mood is grim, and they find that their opponents are really strong.

After the third goal, Barcelona were not attacking until half-time.

In the tactical room, Zidane turned off the TV.

It's almost the same when you see this, and if you look at it, it's likely to hurt morale.

After calling the players away, Zidane left Modric and Casemiro behind.

As Zidane's midfield partner, they have been at the heart of Real Madrid's attack.

In the next game, their performance is directly related to the outcome of the game.

Zidane didn't have any tactfulness, and said directly: "I hope you can fight against Yi, if you can suppress it, that is the best result." ”

Hearing this, Modric and Casemiro glanced at each other, and the latter pursed his lips and said; 'It's difficult, we need to cut off easy access to the ball, at least not to let him hold the ball up front!'

Zidane nodded slowly; "My idea is the same, try to force it into the backcourt as much as possible, rather than stay in the front court and fight with us with bayonets."

After a pause, Zidane continued; "I've already explained to Ramos, and he'll focus on Yi in the next game."

Modric was silent for a long time and said: "But after doing this, the competition for midfield will become more fierce in the middle circle, Barcelona will not give up possession, or any team with Yi will want to be able to get the ball!" ”

"So, I hope you can compete with Yi in the middle circle, or rather, offset his role, if necessary, I will arrange a special marker, even if Yi retreats, he will follow Yi!"

Hearing this, Modric and Casemiro grinned.

Dirty!

The heart of playing tactics is dirty!

As midfielders, they know very well how uncomfortable it is to have one person running after them all the time.

Not to mention the organization, if you want to ask for it, you need to get rid of it first, and you will be intrigued with that person all the time.

"However, by doing so, we are giving up our defense against Messi." Casemiro said worriedly.

Yile is certainly strong, but for Real Madrid, Messi is the most crucial figure.

On the other hand, Zidane shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I don't think a retreating Messi will be so terrible!" ”

Modric thought for a moment and said; "It makes sense, when Yi can't organize the attack, Messi will retreat to catch the ball and take over Yi's work, a Messi who is responsible for organizing is not so scary!"

"But......," Modric said with a deep sigh; We're thinking too idealistic, what if we can't limit it? He's always able to make unexpected moves, and... I don't think he's afraid of Ramos! ”

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent again...
