Chapter 563: This Is the Derby (Fourth Update)
Chapter 563: This is a derby
The bus slowly entered the stadium parking lot along the narrow winding roads of the city of Madrid.
Gao Bo was the first to rush down the car, in a flash of flashing lights and the click of the shutter.
The members of the coaching staff, all the players got out of the car at one time, and everyone ignored the reporters on both sides of the road, but walked quickly into the locker room!
After that, the players went to the stadium to warm up under the leadership of assistant coach Moya, and Gao Bo had already got the starting list for Real Madrid at this time!
Gao Bo looked at the list and figured out Mourinho's tactical intentions.
A quick counter-attack must be at the heart of Mourinho's tactical thinking.
He took this tactic to the extreme, and in this configuration of Real Madrid, the threat and benefit of a quick counter-attack is also quite large.
Because they have two wingers who can deliver quick strikes on the wings.
Ronaldo and Bale, these two are too strong one-on-one, and the speed is also fast!
Even if Gao Bo sits in Mourinho's position, I am afraid that he will start to improve the strength of the team from the ability of the two wingers.
The goalkeeper is still Casillas, and now Mourinho and Cassie are still in their honeymoon period, perhaps due to the addition of Atletico Madrid as an opponent, Mourinho has not fully instigated the confrontation between the Spanish international in the Real Madrid team and the international in Barcelona.
The most important factor in Casillas' later break with Mourinho was that Mourinho completely regarded Barcelona as an enemy - not only on the football field, but even the personal relationship between the players and the Barcelona players.
The players of Real Madrid and Barcelona are the core members of the Spanish national team, and if the players of the two teams are hostile to each other, how can they work together in the national team?
Therefore, Casillas, as the captain of the Spanish national team, is very dissatisfied with Mourinho's attack on Barcelona players and coaches, and he believes that this will tear apart the unity of the entire Spanish national team.
This is where the conflict between the two stems.
However, due to the rise of Atletico Madrid, the battle between the two powers has become a three-country scuffle, and the hostility between them seems to have diluted a lot, at least Mourinho will not just target Barcelona.
The gameplay of the Three Kingdoms Kill is not the same as the life-and-death confrontation between the two powers.
Everyone wants to watch the sandpiper and mussels compete and be their own fisherman.
Therefore, Mourinho has to keep a lot of low profile.
On the pitch, however, Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid is undoubtedly stronger and more mature than in real history – the stronger the opponent, the more they can inspire their fighting spirit and potential.
In the central defender position, since the middle of the season, due to Carvalho's more and more frequent injuries, Atletico Madrid's main central defender combination has now been fixed into the partnership of Pepe and Ramos, with Coentrão and Marcelo competing on the left, and Arbeloa on the right.
And this game Mourinho arranged Marcelo on the left.
This seems to be a signal that Mourinho is going to be more attacking away from home.
On the opposite side of the midfield, Mourinho sent Xavi Alonso and Khedira to play in the front, with Ronaldo and Bale on the left and right, and Benzema at the front!
This is basically the strongest squad for Real Madrid.
On the bench sat Di Maria, Higuain and others.
It's not hard to guess this set of starters, but it's one thing to know the starters, and it's another thing to know the opponent's tactical intentions.
Modern players are basically able to adapt to multiple positions, and those players who can only play in one position and have relatively single functions are actually becoming less and less common in modern football.
This also means that the tactics that the manager can use with the same lineup are more flexible, so it is difficult to fully see the opponent's tactical intentions from the starter alone, and you must wait until the game to gradually gain insight.
At this time, Gao Bo had already heard the footsteps of the goalkeepers.
The players warmed up and returned.
Yesterday, the players already knew who was going to start the game.
Playing at home, Atletico Madrid is still dominated by me, and Gao Bo did not make any temporary adjustments in the starter.
After two seasons of fighting, he believes that no matter how it changes, it will not have any miracle effect.
The two sides know the roots, and it can only be a head-to-head showdown between hard power!
Gao Bo is very aware of this, and if he wants to win the championship, it still depends on strength in the final analysis.
It is said in the book of war that victory is won by righteousness, and it is combined with odds.
Integrity is the foundation, and this is the cornerstone of the team's success!
The players walked in, and the starters were sorting out their gear, putting on their socks, putting on shin guards, and arranging the laces of their shoes.
Gao Bo emphasized the details of this game at the end of this time.
And before the players were about to go out, Gao Bo said: "It's a final, guys! ”
"It's the final of the league!! We have to put in 100% effort to beat them!! ”
Gao Bo didn't get impassioned because he knew that the players knew the importance of the game.
It's not helpful to say more!
He opened the door to the locker room and walked out first!
.......
Gao Bo and Mourinho met in the players' tunnel, and the two glanced at each other, without shaking hands or greeting each other.
The two just glanced at each other, and then walked out of the players' tunnel one after the other.
The sun was shining down from the west, and the yellow setting sun was dyeing the white roof of the main stand of Calderón Stadium golden.
The stadium is covered with red and white flags fluttering on the seats in the red and white stands!
The scene has already begun to be enthusiastic.
A big war is about to start here!!
Players from both sides are lining up in the players' tunnel!
The players from both teams are very familiar with each other, especially since both sides have a number of Spanish internationals.
However, the players did not run to the opposing queue to chat and laugh with their opponents.
It's a derby!
These are two teams that hate each other against each other.
As players who play for these two teams, even if they have a good relationship in private, they must not show that kind of good relationship with each other on this occasion.
It's a respect for the culture of the derby!
Everyone is a professional, and even if some players scoff at the word derby, they will never say it.
At the end of the day, the bowl of rice that everyone eats is held by the fans, so everyone must respect their team and the fans of the team, which is already part of the professional ethics of professional players.
At this time, the stadium suddenly became enthusiastic.
The DJ at the scene really shouted loudly in a deep voice: "Welcome to the players of Atletico Madrid!!!!! ”
The fans cheered.
And then the name of each player was called.
Starting with captain Raul Garcia, to goalkeeper Keylor Navas, and then to striker Sergio Aguero standing at the end!
All were cheered on by the fans.
At this time, Gao Bo was already sitting in the coach's seat!
At this time, the live DJ left Gao Bo's name last.
"And, our head coach!! Gao Bo !!!!! ”
Rumble!!
The cheers of the scene reached the highest peak!
Before the game even started, the stands were already boiling.
That's the derby!
This is the Madrid derby!
