Real Madrid's training has always been based in Valdebebas.

As the Champions League final approaches, there have been some adjustments to the training of Rafael Benitez and the coaching staff.

For example, more small-scale group confrontation training has been added, and there are also focused offensive routine drills.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid plays Inter Milan, the ability to attack will be a crucial part, how to break the enemy, this is the key factor in the victory or defeat of the final, if you can't break through the defensive system of Inter Milan, then Real Madrid will definitely lose this battle.

In addition to attack, defense is also a big priority for Benitez.

Judging by the situation this season, Real Madrid's defense is not reassuring.

The number of goals conceded in the second half of the season seemed to be much more stable, but in reality the team's defense was still not reassuring.

Or it should be said that compared to Inter Milan's reinforced concrete defense, Real Madrid's defense is really average.

Then the question arises, what if the front line can't break through Inter Milan's defense, what if the time drags on and the back line makes mistakes?

This is not alarmist, Real Madrid have made defensive mistakes this season on an unknown number of occasions, especially from set-pieces.

There are gains and losses, and this is a matter of team selection.

For example, in the central defender, because of Pepe's injury, Benitez reused Ramos and Vermaelen and abandoned Metzeld, which inevitably led to a weakness in the team's defense of high balls, but the team's back line has been quite improved in terms of recovery speed and overall mobility, as well as the ability to play the ball.

It depends on how the team chooses.

Do you want Metzelde's air superiority, or something else?

In a team at the level of Real Madrid, the quality and ability of the players are basically no problem, and the key depends on the trade-offs.

Of course, no one is perfect, and the combination of Ramos and Vermaelen is just not stable enough.

It's also normal, you can't ask a centre-back to get up and get up with the ball a lot and not allow him to make mistakes.

It's as if no one can ask Yang Yang to grasp every scoring opportunity created by the team.

……

After a small group confrontation training, Benitez arranged a four-goal group confrontation in the half, that is, four young fans were placed in the half court, and each side of the confrontation defended two goals.

The range is small and the goal is large, which requires players to be more focused on the pitch while also maximizing the speed of passing and receiving.

Benitez's requirements for the team are to pass and receive the ball quickly, try to keep it within two feet, and try to play as many shifts as possible, using the advantage of passing and possession to pull the Inter defence.

Real Madrid dominates on the two wings, Yang Yang and Robben have considerable deterrence and attack power on the wings, Benitez means that the wings fly together, through the wing to create articles, and the middle is the world chief center forward Ibrahimovic and Sneijder to complete the back.

Yang Yang is no stranger to the team's tactical play, but he is still a little worried.

What Real Madrid wants, Inter Milan must also know, Mourinho knows Benitez very well, and also knows Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben very well, and he will certainly not allow Real Madrid to create a clear advantage on the wing.

If Inter Milan simply let go of the wing and imprison Yang Yang and Robben on the side through defense, how will the ball return to the middle?

Judging from the current situation, Mourinho must still play with four defenders and three backs, and the middle will be a dense area for them to defend, if Yang Yang and Robben are limited to the wing, it will be difficult to penetrate the middle.

Yang Yang also raised this issue with the coaching staff at the team's tactical meeting, which was also a headache for everyone.

To some extent, if Inter Milan defends tightly, Real Madrid really don't have a good way.

……

The last training is the half-time offensive and defensive training.

The players have been at their best after a period of adjustment.

Yang Yang also scored a world wave in training, which won a cheer from his teammates and coaching staff.

At the end of May, Madrid ushered in the summer heat, and every player was sweating profusely after training.

And the players finished the day's training after a relaxation session.

Yang Yang was the same as usual, holding the ball, taking the personal trainer assigned to him by the team, and running to the side to practice.

There is something hidden in his heart, Yang Yang looks a little absent-minded, and the coach who accompanies him also sees that he has something on his mind, and he doesn't dare to disturb him, after all, Yang Yang looks kind on weekdays, but in the end, he is the number one star in the team, as long as Yang Yang says a word, he has to leave in minutes.

This uncomfortable atmosphere was finally broken by a sudden sentence.

"What's going on? Having trouble? Zidane walked over with a smile.

He sent away the personal trainer and accompanied Yang Yang to train.

Seeing Zidane coming, Yang Yang simply stopped practicing, and directly beckoned him to sit down in a place where no one was around.

"I heard, you're getting married?" Zidane asked with a smile.

Yang Yang was depressed, "That big mouth told you?" ”

Zidane laughed, "The whole team knows." ”

"I knew this guy couldn't tell him any secrets." Yang Yang angrily counted Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center forward has an uninhibited personality, speaks and does things as he wants, and can't hide any secrets at all.

"Are you bothered about this?" Zidane asked with concern.

He noticed that Yang Yang was a little absent-minded when he was training.

Yang Yang shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me at all, I can marry Su Ye at any time, you know." ”

"That's ......" Zidane nodded, he knew Su Ye, a very beautiful Chinese girl, very compatible with Yang Yang.

"I'm thinking about playing Inter Milan in the final." Yang Yang replied, "You say, just like that, can you play through Inter Milan's defense?" ”

"It seems that you don't have confidence in the team's attack." Zidane said that he didn't mention Benitez, but the meaning was clear.

'I think Mourinho must be ready, maybe even digging a pit waiting for us over there.'

Inter Milan's tactics can be said to be very scoundrels, that is, to grasp the defense and play counterattacks.

The most troublesome thing about this style of play is that their defense is solid, and as long as you can't penetrate their defense, as long as you show the flaws in your own hands, you will immediately be seized by the opponent to counterattack.

Barcelona died at this point!

Is there a problem with this style of play?

Of course there is, and it's huge.

Whether it is Mourinho's Inter Milan or Benitez's Liverpool, they have played very average in the domestic league.

Of course, now that Serie A is in decline, Juventus and AC Milan lack fighting power, so Inter Milan can dominate Serie A, but in reality, Mourinho's team still can't come up with an effective response to the defensive counterattack of the domestic league teams.

Benitez's Liverpool was the same that year, the Champions League swept thousands of teams, and the strong dialogue was also remarkable, but the league results were not ideal, why?

Because the league relies on offense!

In the face of defensive counterattacks from mid-to-lower teams, you have to press out and play and come up with a highly feasible offensive system.

Barcelona is very stable in the league, because they have a set of almost BUG passing and possession system, which is not an offensive tactic at all, but a combination of attack and defense system, I can't break you, I pass you to death!

Now, Real Madrid has become Barcelona, but without the support of Barcelona's pass-and-possession system, Inter Milan continues to play the role they are good at, which is a very scary thing.

This is also the source of Yang Yang's worries.

"You're not right at all." Zidane nodded, "Although most of the people outside are optimistic about us, thinking that we are fighting at home again, and we have an advantage in attack power or something, but in fact, this game is still five or five, and we don't have any advantage." ”

Yang Yang very much agrees with Zidane's judgment.

"Jose Mourinho's defence has improved this season and reached a whole new level with Inter Milan, especially in the second leg against Barcelona, when Inter made only 68 passes at the end of the game, one less than their opponents, but they held on to 0-1."

Yang Yang admired Mourinho's tactical arrangements and on-the-spot command in this game.

"Of course, unlike Barcelona, we certainly can't limit Inter to that extent, but you know, we are not as consistent as Barcelona, which is bound to create a whole new problem, what if we make a mistake and get caught by the opponent?"

Benitez has also made a plan in this regard, and when that time comes, he can only further strengthen the offensive.

But the problem is also here, for Inter Milan, whether you increase the offensive or not, it has no impact on them, because how they should defend, how to defend, as long as you can't crack their defensive system, then even if you push all 11 men to the front line, it will still be unsolvable.

"Professional football has developed over the years, there are teams like this almost every year, do you remember the 0-0 win between Juventus and AC Milan in the Champions League final?" Zidane asked.

Yang Yang nodded, of course he remembered.

"It's dull, it's not good at all, but on a tactical level, they can't do anything with each other, and in the end they are forced to win through penalties, right?"

Yang Yang understands what Zidane means, Inter Milan is like Juventus and AC Milan in the past, advocating that through solid defense, they will first make themselves invincible, and then find a way to defeat the opponent.

Of course, if they can't beat their opponents, they don't mind finishing the game 0-0.

It is reported that Mourinho has been rehearsing for penalty shoot-outs and looks like he is preparing for both.

"The charm of football is here, a team is strong, occupies all kinds of advantages, presses the opponent to play, but it can't score a goal, but is attacked by the opponent once, lost the game, this is professional football, how many fans are familiar with the legend, that's how it comes."

Hearing Zidane say this, Yang Yang suddenly thought that Zidane studied under Jacques in the French national team, and he also attached importance to the concept of solid defense, and France won the World Cup and European Cup championship with this set.

Zidane also played for Juventus for a long time and was heavily influenced by Lippi and Italian football.

When Yang Yang was still savoring Zidane's words, the French legend said another sentence that touched his thoughts.

"You have a very serious problem, do you know what it is?"
