Two days before the derby.

Pellegrini looked confident and calm in the interview, he talked about the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and talked about the semi-finals that will come after the derby, he said, "At this point in time, it is not good news to meet Barcelona. ”

'Whether it's against Barcelona or Bayern, we need to give it our all, but the players can't be energetic and the whole team needs time to adjust.

Speaking at the national derby, Manuel Pellegrini said: "We prepared well against Barcelona, we won the last leg at Camp Nou and I'm sure it's still us who won. ”

Manuel Pellegrini's self-confidence has infected Real Madrid fans, and the manager said that they are still proud of their confidence against Barcelona, and they also believe that Real Madrid can win.

As a matter of fact.

Manuel Pellegrini was not skewn confident, and by the end of the interview, he had not decided what tactics to play.

It's embarrassing.

Barcelona is recognized as strong for a reason, their overall technical level and coordination level have reached the top level, other teams can't imitate it, plus Messi as the core is in very good shape, and now they can be called a 'perfect team'.

Real Madrid were able to suppress such a team in the league, and they also beat their opponents by a large score when they faced them directly, which made Pellegrini feel like he was in a dream.

Yes.

Manuel Pellegrini has a very high opinion of Barca.

If you think about tactics and coping methods to compete with Barcelona, Pellegrini will not hesitate to let the team play defensive counterattack, but does Real Madrid use defensive counterattack?

This is where Pellegrini gets tangled.

The forward line composed of Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo is too strong, Real Madrid is competing with Barcelona head-on, and it seems that there is a great chance of winning, but it needs to rely on the play of Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo, especially Zhen Shaolong, who has been performing amazingly, if he can score two or three goals, Real Madrid will definitely win.

"So...... Still counter-attacking with defense? "Pellegrini was a little hesitant.

If you don't play defensive counter-attacks, there will be more opportunities in the attack, and the victory or defeat will be on the performance of the team's stars, who will have a little bit of a bad performance, and it will be difficult for them to beat Barcelona.

Contrarily.

Playing defensive counter-attacks means fewer opportunities for the front line and will be suppressed by Barcelona as a whole, but on a tactical level, defensive solidity means a better chance of winning.

However, even if it is a defensive counterattack, it still needs the performance of the stars.

The difference is that playing against the attack requires the play of stars such as C-Ronaldo and Diarra, the midfield is strong enough to create opportunities for the forward, and Zhen Shaolong will definitely be closely marked by the opponent, and the opportunity is relatively small; Playing defensive counterattacks is different, because fast attack has become the main means, and if two or three stars play well, it is enough to break through the opponent's goal, then Zhen Shaolong's play is quite important, maybe if the opportunity is good enough, he can score alone.

"So ......"

"Do you believe in Zhen Shaolong, or do you believe in the whole team?"

What a dilemma!

Pellegrini was worried about the tactical board for a long time, he wrote Zhen Shaolong's name on one side, and C-Ronaldo on the other, and later changed it to 'the whole team', and then used a very naïve method, "WIN has three letters, start counting from Zhen Shaolong, which letter is the last letter, use which style of play!" ”

"W, Zhen Shaolong!"

"I, the whole team!"

"N, Zhen Shaolong!"

Pellegrini took a long breath and said with a smile on his face, "So, this is God's will, let's play defense and counterattack!" ”

Next to him, Kucillas was stunned.

Kucillas opened his mouth wide, his facial muscles tensed, he couldn't understand Pellegrini's thoughts at all, "WIN? Three letters? Do you still use numbers? ”

Pellegrini glared at Kucillas, "Of course, I believe this is God's will, otherwise why would I choose to start counting with Zhen Shaolong?" ”

“……”

Kucillas didn't know what to say, he found himself unable to understand Pellegrini's operation, and maybe he was still a long way from becoming a real manager.

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong was having lunch in the club restaurant with Granero and Diarra, and they were talking about the upcoming national derby, and by the way, Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.

"I'm familiar with Bayern and I played against Bayern last year." Zhen Shaolong said, "It was a good team, and I have a good impression of Bayern. ”

There is a sentence that does not say at the end, "Bayern often trigger tasks".

Granero and Diarra nodded together, the two didn't have anything to say to Bayern, and they didn't know what to say about Barcelona, they were more interested in gossip about their private lives.

For example, Diarra is gossiping about not looking for a girlfriend in Granero, "My girlfriend has a few good girlfriends, how about it?" Introducing one to you? ”

Granero thought about Diarra's girlfriend, and felt that he didn't even have an appetite for lunch, and he was more concerned about Zhen Shaolong's departure.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Granero asked solemnly.

"Yes."

Zhen Shaolong said helplessly, "Actually, I don't want to leave, I have a group of friends like you in the club, but Manchester City activated the buyout clause, and at the end of the season, I will be a Manchester City player." ”

Granero was a little lost.

Diarra pursed her lips as well.

In fact, one thing that the two know very well is that their main positions are related to Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong's departure will definitely affect their status, the competition for the same position in the team is very motivating, Real Madrid doesn't know what to do in the summer, and it is difficult for them to continue to sit in the main position.

Zhen Shaolong saw the expressions of the two and knew what they were thinking, and he suggested in a friendly manner, "Russ, if you can't get along in Real Madrid, you can come to Manchester City to find me, I believe Manchester City will definitely need a strong midfielder like you." ”

"Esteban, my advice to you is ......"

Granero listened with interest.

"Get a girlfriend first, or I'm not sure if I'm going to have contact with you." Zhen Shaolong said very seriously.

Diarra nodded along with him.

Granero buried his head and cried with a sad face, his orientation is really normal, but he is focused on football, ignoring personal emotional problems, he is about the same age as Zhen Shaolong, why do you have to find a girlfriend?

Zhen Shaolong continued, "Otherwise, right? My bodyguard Jenny doesn't have a boyfriend yet, she's a woman with a good personality, Cristiano liked her before, she rejected them all, how about it? If you marry Jenny, we will be a family from now on. ”

Granero rolled his eyes and said, "Then I might as well go and date Cristiano." ”

At this time, Guti came from behind, and happened to hear Granero's words, he grew his mouth in shock, and then silently turned around, walked to the table next to him and sat down, not daring to make a sound halfway.

And then.

Guti turned on his phone and began to type constantly, and he continued to type for a long, long time.

Zhen Shaolong's position was diagonally facing Guti, and he asked a little strangely, "Jose, what are you doing?" ”

Granero glanced at it and pouted, "This guy must be gossiping again, I don't know which poor guy it is......"

Diarra nodded along with him.

Guti looked up and put down his phone, revealing a calm, gentle smile, "Just wanted to introduce a friend to Cristiano." He has been single since he came to Madrid, and I thought about arranging it for him, maybe he would like me as a friend. ”

Zhen Shaolong and Diarra nodded with deep feelings.

Granero said with a sour mouth, "I knew you much earlier than Cristiano, and you didn't even tell me about ......"

"Because Cristiano is more popular." Guti replied as a matter of course.

Granero can only be depressed when he listens to it, he is indeed not as popular as C-Ronaldo.

————

After lunch in the cafeteria, Zhen Shaolong went to the dormitory to rest, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, and rested for half an hour, which was very helpful to recover his spirits.

But he was bothered by system messages.

"Hint: A new system task is triggered.

Coach Manuel Pellegrini has a lot of faith in you and bets the outcome on your performance, so you should repay Pellegrini with a goal in the next game against Barcelona.

Mission objective: Lead Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona by more than two goals.

(During the mission, you will receive the special aura 'King of the Counterattack'.)

When your team makes a steal, get a special effect for fifteen seconds--

1. Your explosiveness is increased by 20%.

2. The moment you break through the opponent with the ball, there is a 50% chance that the 'Football Following Effect' will be triggered for two seconds.

3. When your teammate's pass is aimed at you, the soccer route will be corrected ten degrees to the best position. ）

Reward: Increases the appearance index a little. ”

Zhen Shaolong was a little confused when he looked at the mission introduction, he didn't expect Pellegrini's trust to trigger the system task.

Manuel Pellegrini is such a good coach!

Zhen Shaolong didn't feel grateful in his heart, and even some emotion of emotion, Bergman and Kevin Keegan also trusted themselves, but they never triggered the task because of trust, and Pellegrini actually used it to pry the system, which is really amazing.

Of course.

Tasks are actually risky.

Although Barcelona has been suppressed by Real Madrid, Zhen Shaolong knows very well that just because he has performed well enough and scored enough goals, without a systematic task, he will play Barcelona head-on, even if his performance is not bad, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win.

Barcelona is indeed very strong, the squad is strong, the stars are in good shape, the overall maturity and stability, etc., Barcelona has a lot of advantages, as long as it triggers the task to win.

The temporary effect of this task is also really good, and there are two individual bonuses in the counterattack, one is the passing bonus of teammates.

"It seems ......"

Zhen Shaolong sighed and thought, "I had to be Maradona once, but I really don't like Maradona." ”
