Real Madrid dugout.

Schuster is frowning, the situation on the field is in front of him, Real Madrid is playing very passively, Millwall scored a goal, and it seems that they have no intention of stopping, maybe their tactics are like this, in the offensive battle, Real Madrid can't play an advantage.

This is for tactical reasons!

Schuster still has a certain level of tactics, more than 20 minutes of play, enough to see a lot of things, Real Madrid cooperation, and Millwall can not be compared at all, Millwall also has a strong midfield, the transmission is more fast, fast, and even more accurate.

Millwall has a lot of cooperation, not looking at people at all, but by feeling and tacit understanding, often a pass is to find a position, rather than using his eyes to see someone in that direction.

In the face of such skillful and tacit cooperation, Real Madrid was a little unable to keep up, and it became difficult to defend.

Real Madrid's only strength is the individual ability of the players.

For example, Robben.

Arjen Robben will quickly attack when he gets the ball, and his personal dribbling will make the Millwall defence have to defend with all their hearts.

That's all.

Every time Robben dribbles the ball to the front, either he faces a tough defense, or he can't receive a pass to his teammates, and the impact of Robben caused by various reasons for losing the ball does not play a role at all, but wastes opportunities again and again.

This is caused by the lack of understanding with teammates.

The tactical gap between the two sides is not small, but the difference in strength is not as obvious as imagined.

The game was disappointing.

Schuster sighed, he didn't have a good way, there were two ways to deal with Millwall.

One is offense.

If you can play a tough offensive and tacit offensive, the whole team will become more mature, and they will not be afraid to continue to attack, and they may be able to play an advantage.

It is not possible at the moment.

For example, Robben, Pepe and several other newcomers have no tacit understanding with other teammates at all, even if they are originally humans, their coordination ability is good, but what they are good at is personal performance, and what they are used to is also personal performance.

Real Madrid has always been like that.

Whether it is the once glorious Galaxy Battleship or the current star-studded team, individual play always overrides team tactics, and it is impossible to integrate many stars into a team that focuses on cooperation, without one or two seasons.

The second is defense.

If Real Madrid plays a defensive counterattack, it will naturally not be afraid of Millwall's smooth attack, and the backfield is densely populated to a certain extent, which can eliminate the opponent's coordination advantage to the greatest extent.

It can't be either.

From the moment he became the coach of Real Madrid, Schuster decided on an attack-centered style of play, one is to cater to the fans, fans like offensive football, so let the team play offensive football, and the other is to respect the tradition of Real Madrid.

Both are important.

Capello led the team to a good performance last season, but he was still criticized by the media and fans, and finally had to leave the coaching position at the end of the season.

No matter how good the results of the team are, if you can't play the football that the fans like, you can't keep the position at all.

This is Real Madrid.

Many coaches want to coach Real Madrid, but very few can succeed in the managerial position, and Schuster wants to succeed, first of all, to keep the managerial position, otherwise there is no point in talking about anything else.

Now facing a passive situation, Schuster can only hope that the team can perform better, and it is better to have stars break out to help the team equalize the score.

Against other teams, Schuster's idea is possible.

For example, a star like Arjen Robben can score a goal once in a while, cutting inside and shooting inside.

A goal is nothing.

But Real Madrid is facing Millwall, Zhang Yang will not let the "accident" appear, he can know in advance whether there is an accident, Real Madrid has no chance at all.

Real Madrid then had to remain passive, for 20 minutes, and they did not play a decent attack, with most of the attack ending in midfield.

If it were an ordinary team, in this case, it would definitely retreat in a big way.

Real Madrid is different.

When there is no smooth attack, Real Madrid's frontcourt stars have no intention of going back to defense, and some players would rather stand in front and not get the ball at all, rather than run back at all.

"One by one...... It's all too big! Zhang Yang watched the game and felt a little sad for Schuster.

This is the consequence of the coach not being able to hold down the players.

Manchester United is also a giant team, and the various fronts are also gorgeous, and whichever player is taken out alone, they are all big stars, but in the game of Manchester United, no player would rather stand than retreat to participate in the defense, because Ferguson has enough prestige that no player dares to do that, unless he doesn't care about not being able to play in the future.

Schuster can't hold down the players, the players don't care what the coach thinks, some stars up front, like Ruud van Nistel, he doesn't drop back to defend, what can Schuster do? Nothing can be done.

If you don't start Ruud van Nistelrooy in the next game, you will face pressure from the club, the fans and the media.

Zhang Yang felt that with such an opponent, Millwall was not happy to win.

Towards the 40th minute of the game, the media commentator also released a set of statistics, "So far, Millwall occupies 63% of the time of possession, Real Madrid only 37%, in terms of shots, Millwall has seven shots on goal, one goal, Real Madrid only two, no threat......

This kind of suppressed game made Real Madrid fans very dissatisfied.

Before the start of the game, the Spanish media played the headline "revenge", they also believed that Real Madrid could achieve revenge, and Schuster led the team to be criticized, but the past few rounds of league results were not bad, and the team's strong squad also brought confidence to Real Madrid fans.

So far in the game, not to mention being one goal behind, even the situation is very passive.

This kind of competition is too depressing.

Many fans have obviously noticed that Real Madrid is not playing actively, some stars may be tired, or they may have other ideas, that is, they are not active to run, which also causes Real Madrid to be more passive, but fans will not blame the stars, because Real Madrid's stars are quite strong.

Who is to blame?

Schuster!

Many Real Madrid fans were even more dissatisfied with Schuster, and they suddenly remembered the rumors before the game, maybe Schusterer really relied on the pillow wind to take the whip?

Schuster and Theresa...... The picture can complement the imagination!

It's not so good anyway!

So far in the game, even before the first half has passed, Millwall has only scored one goal, and many people are not optimistic about Real Madrid.

In the 43rd minute, Millwall scored again.

This time it was on Braniff's dribbling, who was brought to the ground by Cannavaro and Millwall was awarded a very well-placed set-piece.

Josh Simpson took the penalty and he kicked a spinning arc of the inside of his instep, and the ball spun and drilled into the top right corner of the goal.

Faced with such a goal, Casillas had nothing to do, he made a judgment, but it was impossible to save on the position.

Many Real Madrid fans looked at Simpson's goal and couldn't help but think of David Beckham in the past, but unfortunately the goal happened to the opposing team.

"Josh Simpson!"

'Last season, Simpson was Millwall's number three scorer and as a wing-back he scored a remarkable number of goals!"

'Real Madrid are all looking out for Braniff, they're looking at Morris, they're looking at Jamie Vardy up front, but don't forget that Simpson is a very efficient player, and Millwall's direct free-kick chances are all taken by Simpson and he's a very good set-piece.

"It's worth mentioning that Simpson has yet to play for the Canadian national team, he is applying for British citizenship and if he can do so, he could represent England in the future."

"Recently, the media has started to report that Beckham has publicly expressed his expectations for Simpson to join the team, saying that Simpson's style is very similar to him, and the two are also right-sided players......

————

When the time entered the half-time break, the media unanimously criticized Schuster.

"Schuster said before the game that his team would get revenge, but what we saw seemed to be the opposite, Real Madrid's goal was suffering!"

"At half-time, two goals were scored, the key is that we can't see any hope of equalizing, Real Madrid have always been very passive......

"It's the ugliest game to watch! It's hard to imagine whether it's Real Madrid or the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium who is passive in front of you. Where did our galactic battleship go? Schuster should be credited with the first credit, the first credit for Millwall's victory, maybe he is Millwall's spy for Real Madrid! ”

"I don't know what he did, when Real Madrid was very passive, he sat in the dugout all the time, didn't move, watched the team passive, watched the team be scored!"

"It's the Millwall players who should be praised, and Real Madrid should probably reflect on what went wrong!"

"Such a Real Madrid, there is no hope at all, they are also in La Liga, seeing the performance of Real Madrid, and then thinking that they are the first in the league, maybe we should sigh: La Liga has fallen to such a point?"

“……”

At this time, the atmosphere in the dressing rooms of the two teams was diametrically opposed.

The Bernabeu away team's dressing room is very shabby, not at all with the momentum of the European giants' home stadium, which is probably a problem for Real Madrid to the away team, but unfortunately it does not affect the mood of the Millwall players at all, everyone is very relaxed, and the game is much easier than expected.

At half-time, 2-0.

What's more, the players are all playing with a feeling, they don't have any nervousness about facing the top giants, they feel that the game is nothing more than that, and they have a deeper understanding of the strength of the team.

Zhang Yang still poured cold water on everyone, reminding everyone to play seriously, "This is a sick Real Madrid, you can feel it." ”

'They're good as individual players, but they don't play well together. So, it's not that we're playing too well, it's that the other party has a problem. I hope that each of you will work hard until the last minute and not think that the other person is performing poorly and not care about the game......"

In the home team's dressing room, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

When I walked into the dressing room, I noticed that the players were doing their own thing, no one was talking about the game, there was very little whispered communication, and some people simply put on a smiling face, as if they didn't care about falling behind at all.

Schuster saw that and felt he should have reminded his players to take the game seriously: "We were a little sloppy in the first half. Don't run when it's time to run, don't retreat when it's time to retreat, I hope you can work harder. ”

"It's Bernard ......"

Schuster was only halfway through his sentence when a voice interrupted, "But the gap between our style of play and theirs is too great." ”

It's Robinho.

Two years ago, Robinho was just a newcomer to the team, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly in the locker room, but now he has become an "old man", Real Madrid's players are updated too quickly, most of the old players have left, Robinho's qualifications can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the team, and he has also become one of the absolute main forces of the team.

Robinho didn't look down on Schuster, and he said bluntly to all the players' hearts, "We played half the game, everyone can see it. He looked left and right at his teammates, many of whom nodded their heads.

"The style of play is too bad, the opponent's cooperation is too tacit, and the rhythm is very fast. I always run back and forth, it's useless, the other side doesn't run that far, and the passing efficiency is much higher than ours. ”

"It's a matter of tactics, the opponent has more training than us, and the style of play is much better than ours, so it's not a grade at all."

Schuster's face was so ugly that Robinho almost pointed at his nose and said, "It's your fault that you didn't play well." ”

Tactics, isn't that the reason for the manager!

Schuster was also wronged, he took over the team too late, it took a few days to get used to the start of the game, what can he do to prepare? Directly lead the team to play, the only thing to do is to slightly adjust the tactical play, so that more players can adapt to the style of play, to say that cooperation, tacit understanding, is slowly trained, now is the beginning of the season, tactical training can not have any effect.

Schuster was so angry that he stared at Robinho for a long time, and finally exasperated, "Maybe you have a point, but we have to fight for victory!" Now there are a lot of fans watching, the first game of the Champions League, we can't easily fall here! ”

"Next, everyone listens to ......"

Schuster ignored the attitude of the others, and directly set up the tactics strongly, and talked about the adjustment content of the second half.

At the beginning, there were a few players who listened carefully, and in the end no one listened.

Schuster's so-called adjustment is to let the players increase the back and forth running, in a very physically demanding way, so that they can play a tough offensive while taking care of the defense.

Needless to say?

Everybody knows.

But in fact, Schuster's statement is already the only option, in the case of falling behind by two goals, Real Madrid must attack and defend to take care of, what else can be done?

Otherwise, give up the defense.

That's impossible.
