Just because there was no war of words between the two sides of the game doesn't mean the media isn't excited. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have played each other 14 times in the Champions League, so there are so many stories to dig up.

Moreover, Bayern Munich experienced a change of coach, and Heathfield put out the fire; Real Madrid is full of hidden dangers, and Capello is showing his intentions...... It's enough to be a feast for the media.

However, Real Madrid is preparing for the game with peace of mind, and the team has not been affected by the distractions of the outside world.

"Attack?" The players thought they were hallucinating in their ears, after all, they have been playing counter-attacking tactics since the start of the season, with both full-backs ordered not to pass through midfield.

"That's right, we're going to beat the opponent with an attack at home!" A cold glow radiated from Capello's thick spectacle lenses.

Well, then attack. The question is, how to attack it? Without a playmaker like Zidane, how can we play well in attack?

'We used David's passing ability to get through the midfield quickly. Capello gave the answer.

Understand.

David Beckham's long pass is one of his biggest magic weapons. Many people only focus on the brilliance of his moon scimitar free-kicks, but they don't know that Beckham's long balls and crosses can contribute more to the team.

It's just that after coming to La Liga, Real Madrid has always paid more attention to ground attack, resulting in his magic weapon being useless.

And now, Capello is determined to reactivate Beckham, so it is natural to use his skills to the fullest.

Lifting high and punching, long passing and hanging, may not be a solution.

Although the height of the frontcourt players is not enough, the speed is enough. Just give the ball behind you.

As for whether the ball behind him can be put in place...... Xiaobei's golden right foot is not bragging.

So in the past few days of preparation, the players began to gradually adapt to this new style of play.

Although Capello did not say it explicitly, everyone knows that this new style of play is likely not to be aimed at Bayern Munich, but will be played in all future home games.

On the evening of February 20, the Santiago Bernabeu was bustling.

Although many fans claimed that Real Madrid had played too ugly this season to boycott Capello and not come to watch the rest of the season, the strong dialogue with Bayern Munich still attracted more than 70,000 fans.

In the past 14 meetings in the Champions League, Real Madrid won 5, lost 7 and drew 2, slightly behind. What will today's game be like?

There weren't too many surprises in Real Madrid's line-up. Goalkeeper Casillas, the backline is Robert. Carlos, Cannavaro, Elguera and teenager M. Torres came in place of Sergio Ramos, who was suffering a minor injury.

The two-man midfield combination used Gago and David Beckham, with Diarra injured; Left wing-back Raul, forward Licardo, right midfielder Kaka, center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Bayern Munich's goalkeeper is naturally Kahn, Lahm plays at left-back, the two centre-backs are Lucio and Van Bitten, and right-back Sagnol. The left and right midfielders were Schweinsteiger and Salihamidzic respectively, with Demichelis being moved up to the central midfield to partner Van Bommel – both of whom were tall and strong players with excellent frontal defensive ability.

The combination of two strikers Mackay and Podolski, who has speed and impact, and Podolski is considered to be Germany's striker for the next 10 years, is a formidable combination.

However, on the whole, Bayern Munich's star flavor is still far inferior to Real Madrid.

The two sides may be about the same quality in the middle and back, but in attack, the combination of Ricardo, Kaka, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy has beaten Makay, Podolski, Schweinsteiger and Salihamidzic.

With such a strong attacking line, it would be nice for the team to play attacking football. What kind of defensive counterattack is played, such a good attacker is blind in vain.

Many Real Madrid fans thought to themselves.

Soon, however, their eyes widened.

From the first minute, Real Madrid launched a furious attack on the opponent's goal!

'Beckham got the ball, he got rid of Demichelis and passed to the right! Kaka catches the ball, runs down the bottom, and passes the ball! Ricardo flanked the ball and didn't touch the ball! Ruud van Nistelrooy nodded the ball over the course of the goal. ”

'Ricardo got the ball, there wasn't a good chance, he passed it back to Beckham. Beckham distributes the ball to the left, Raul, breaks! He swept the ball into the box, Ricardo and Lucio collided together, and the referee signaled for the game to continue. Looking at the slow-motion replay, Lucio was suspected of a foul on the ball. ”

"Robert. Carlos took the ball and he himself ran through the midfield with the ball! It's been a long time since we've seen a scene like this! He made a one-two with Raul and passed the ball towards the box. Ricardo grabbed the front and nodded the ball back, Kaka ambushed at the back point and suddenly killed, volley! There was no ball in the middle and the ball was missed. Real Madrid's offensive in the past few minutes has been fierce! It's kind of unrecognizable!"

"Beckham, again, started the ball directly from the midfield and hit the front. Ricardo was fast, he caught up with the ball and immediately made a diagonal pass! Raul cut in from behind Van Bitten, the ball was not offside! He went it alone! Kahn strikes, Raul shoots! Goalllllll！ ”

"A very hearty attack! Simple and efficient! Raul successfully countered offside, faced Kahn single-handedly, calmly pushed and broke the deadlock on the field! In the 11th minute of the game, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, took the lead! ”

"The scoreline was not a surprise, Real Madrid changed their normal behavior today and played very aggressively, which caught Bayern Munich off guard. In ten minutes, Bayern Munich was completely suppressed, without a single shot on goal, without a single successful entry into the Real Madrid penalty area! ”

Heathfield anxiously paced on the sidelines. He's waiting for his players to calm down and get into the game as soon as possible.

Capello smiled lightly, and the media said that he was uneasy, but in fact it was not, it was the top management of Real Madrid who gave him an ultimatum. If he can't win Bayern Munich at home, his second-time career will end here.

Capello was not willing to flee Real Madrid with a reputation as a loser. Even if he has to go, he has to win one or two championships and walk on his toes.

So he let go of his stubbornness and changed his mind. Since a defensive counterattack doesn't work, go on offense.

Real Madrid is not without attacking capital.

As a head coach, the most taboo thing is to think rigidly. Fabio Capello is well aware of this, but pride has blinded him and made him stubbornly want to replicate the system he had worked with at Juventus at Real Madrid.

But as it turned out, it didn't work. Half a season's trial has been declared a failure.

But it doesn't matter. It's too late for change.

Let this match be the starting point for Real Madrid's counterattack.
