'Let's forget about the national derby for a moment and turn our eyes to tonight's game – it's an important game no less than the national derby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will play at the Estadio Pizjuan, home of Sevilla! Both teams will stage a Madrid City Derby on a neutral pitch! ”

With a few hours to go before the Copa del Rey final, the media from all over the world have already gathered in Sevilla to cover the match.

This will be the first La Liga title to be decided this season, with Real Madrid starting their treble title if they win, and Atletico Madrid going to be the first team to beat Real Madrid this season – unbeaten in the domestic league, cup and Champions League so far.

"There are a lot of people who think Barcelona is the sworn enemy of Real Madrid? Wrong, in fact, Atletico Madrid is. It's just that the limelight of Barcelona in recent seasons is too strong, and the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona for the hegemony of La Liga is too fierce, which makes people have such an illusion, in fact, Real Madrid's sworn enemy is Atletico Madrid, it has always been, it has never changed! So you can fully imagine how exciting and intense this game will be! ”

It's hard to say wonderful, but fierce is for sure. Flores and his men were already working hard to rewrite the embarrassing history of Real Madrid's winless run in the most important match of the Copa del Rey final. Flores didn't even have to mobilize the players, they knew what to do with this shameful record in front of them.

There's also good news for Harvey. Alonso's absence, the Basque midfielder is an important part of Real Madrid's midfield, and his absence will certainly affect the team's performance. It also increases the likelihood that Atletico Madrid will beat Real Madrid.

On Real Madrid's side, they were a little embarrassed by Alonso's absence.

Mourinho has assigned Chu Zhongtian a new task. At the same time, he also has a headache, who should he let partner Chu Zhongtian, whether to continue to insist on double back or change to single back?

He can choose a more conservative tactic and let Khedira start and partner with Chu Zhongtian, so that Khedira can defend with all his strength and Chu Zhongtian will attack. He can also choose a more aggressive tactic, with Ozil and Chu Zhongtian partnering in the midfield, Chu Zhongtian as a single midfielder, Ozil playing as a forward midfielder, supplemented by C. Ronaldo, Di Maria, or Kaka on both sides.

It all depends on whether he wants to be more conservative or aggressive in the game.

Finally, before the start of the game, Mourinho finalized the starting line-up, he abandoned conservative tactics and chose a positive attitude, arranging Chu Zhongtian and Ozil to start, C. Ronaldo on the left, Di Maria on the right, Kaka got the opportunity to rest, because there are still Champions League semi-finals and a league showdown with Barcelona ahead.

The striker started not Higuain or Benzema, but Bam Adebayor, a powerful centre-forward who could control the ball.

When the media got this starting list, they were all surprised.

Flores was also surprised.

In the absence of Alonso, there is speculation that Jose Mourinho, who seeks stability, will definitely play on Khedira in the game, so as to consolidate the defence. With Mourinho's cautious character, that's almost certain.

But there was no Khedira's name on the starting list handed over by Mourinho, and he actually let Chu Zhongtian be a single back and play a single back!

Everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian is the organizational core of the team, and his offensive organization task is heavier than the defensive task in the game, so Alonso does not step forward much many times, but defends in the back, intercepts the ball and passes it to Chu Zhongtian, or plays a long pass directly to counterattack.

Now that Alonso is gone, everyone originally thought that Khedira would replace Alonso's defensive tasks, so that Chu Zhongtian could still organize the attack. At the very least, the loss is not so big, and the impact of Alonso's absence can be minimized.

Who would have thought that Mourinho played as a single midfielder!

Chu Zhongtian has to defend and attack alone, how can he be busy?

Does Mourinho really regard Chu Zhongtian as a superman?

In fact, no one knows what Mourinho thinks in his heart, only Real Madrid himself knows.

As early as the last tactical meeting last night, Mourinho had already announced the starting list for his players, and Chu Zhongtian played a single midfielder, which also caused a commotion at the meeting, and everyone was surprised.

Khedira thought he would start, but he didn't. On the contrary, it was Chu Zhongtian who took on the heavy responsibility of defense and offense alone.

After the starting list was announced, Mourinho said to Chu Zhongtian and the whole team: "I know everyone is a little surprised by this arrangement, I'm sorry, Khedira. But this is for tactical reasons. We all know that Atletico Madrid will be going to be tough in this game to beat us, and they are definitely not easy opponents to play against. So in this game, Chu's first task is not to rush up and organize the attack, but to stabilize the defense. Then, on the premise of stabilizing the defense, organize the attack. But you don't just rush up to pass the last ball, your task is to be in charge of the direction and rhythm of the attack, and the one who is really responsible for the lethal pass is ......" Mourinho pointed at Mesut Ozil. "Ozil."

So Real Madrid's thinking is clear. Chu Zhongtian intercepts the opponent's attack in the back, and once intercepted, he directly organizes the attack in the backfield, and his overall situation and awareness will help him control the team's offensive rhythm and offensive direction.

Chu Zhongtian is no stranger to this kind of work, he did similar work during his time in Metz and Hoffenheim. At that time, there was no Alonso in the team who could also control the rhythm, so he had to do a lot of things alone. Aside from not having to defend with all his might, it's not much different from Mourinho's current arrangement.

At the same time, Chu Zhongtian also realized why Mourinho arranged it like this, and I am afraid there is another layer of meaning - he left his hand behind.

If the team is well ahead, he can replace Mesut Ozil for Khedira when it is time to strengthen the defence. When the time came, he pushed himself into the position of playmaking and attacking, and Khedira concentrated on defending. While the defense has been strengthened, the attack has not been lost, on the contrary, the counterattack may be sharper. Anyway, Ozil's stamina doesn't guarantee that he will be able to play the whole game.

If there is no lead, when it is necessary to strengthen the attack, you can also replace Khedira and replace a defender, or Adebayo, push C. Ronaldo to the forward position, Chu Zhongtian has become the core of the organization, and Ozil has become a temporary duo together, so that he is closer to the opponent's penalty area and the threat is greater.

If you go to Khedira first, there is a lack of change.

Mourinho's decision was made after careful consideration.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know if he guessed right, but he believed that as the game progressed, he would know the answer sooner or later.

※※※ The warm-up is over, and the players have already changed their clothes for the game and are sitting in the locker room. Mourinho stood in the centre, he looked around and then said to them: "Before you go out to play, the last word to tell you - remember what I said? Guys, I love champions! ”

※※※ Flores doesn't know what Mourinho's purpose is for choosing to let Chu Zhongtian play as a single back, maybe he underestimated the enemy? He thought he could beat his team in the Copa del Rey final with a single midfielder – and he had better think that because he's going to suffer.

Anyway, Real Madrid's single midfielder is a good thing for their own team. Nowadays, in football, it is becoming more and more difficult for a single back to survive, because the single back has very strict requirements for the back waist, and it is difficult to find such an excellent back waist, so many teams would rather use two average back waists to form a double back waist.

Under the impact of Atletico Madrid, Flores did not believe that Chu Zhongtian alone could withstand it. You know, he still has to organize an attack. The past season has proven that Chu Zhongtian is an indispensable playmaker for Real Madrid.

Since Mourinho asked Chu Zhongtian to play as a single back, then when the time comes, he will take turns to impact him, so that he will be overwhelmed, and he can take care of this head and not that head.

This is simply a natural breakthrough.

Therefore, he urgently adjusted his tactics before the game began, signaling Aguero, Fran and others to take Chu Zhongtian here as a key breakthrough. Originally, Atletico Madrid planned to take the wing, but now he changed his mind, Yang attacked the side, and after transferring Chu Zhongtian away, he suddenly played the football to the middle, seeking a breakthrough and shooting opportunities from the middle!

So as soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid did just that.

Reyes quickly became the team's most active man, repeatedly breaking down the flanks and looking for crosses.

"Obviously, Reyes' left side has become the most active wing for Atletico Madrid, and this is their main attack!" The narrator said.

Anyone who watched the game for a few minutes would have this thought on their minds.

Flores turned his head to look next door, where Jose Mourinho sat in the dugout and didn't come out. He didn't know if the madman would think the same thing...... Anyway, judging from the game, Real Madrid on the field was broken by Reyes to strengthen the defense on the side.

Di Maria was working the replay because Reyes was on his side. He and Ramos were two people to defend Reyes.

However, Flores didn't see Chu Zhongtian go to the side, at most he just helped seal the passage to the side in the ribs, and at the same time took care of the middle lane, and did not mean to go directly to the side to help.

Flores didn't know enough about Chu Zhongtian's past. He had already experienced a similar situation when he was in Metz and Hoffenheim - because he was so good defending in the middle that opponents would go to great lengths to pull him to the flanks and suddenly pass to the middle to play in his absence.

At the beginning, Chu Zhongtian relied on his physical strength to be able to run for a long time and run with the opponent's football. Later he found out that it didn't work, he could never keep up with the speed of football, so he learned to be good - no matter how you pass or how you fall, in the end the football always has to come back to the middle, whether it's shooting or crossing, as long as I keep this area in the middle, I'm not afraid of your tricks.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian rarely runs to the side to support or anything, unless there is a defensive midfielder behind him. Since he is the only one in today's game as a defender, it is even more impossible for him to leave his position without permission to be a hero.

He didn't necessarily see Flores's strategy, he just stuck to his post.

To be honest, he also feels that Reyes is a great threat to the team, but with Di Maria and Ramos already there, there is no need for him to join in the fun.

With 10 minutes played, Reyes was the most active player, constantly breaking through and breaking through, or crossing and crossing, looking for opportunities to create goals.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are waiting for an opportunity to counter-attack while holding on to the wings. Don't think that Chu Zhongtian's main task after he came on the court was to defend, in fact, he was also waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

His job is much simpler than before, after receiving the pass, he is responsible for controlling the rhythm of Real Madrid's attack, whether it should be fast or slow, responsible for controlling the direction of Real Madrid's attack, whether to go wide or in the middle, and if you go to the side, to go left or right?

He is responsible for all of this. But he didn't care about the fatal pass, he just gave the football to the player in front. Although Mourinho said in the tactical meeting yesterday that it would be handed over to Mesut Ozil, Chu Zhongtian has autonomy, and if he feels that Di Maria's chances are better than Ozil's, he will not hesitate to pass the football to Di Maria.

I believe that with the ability of the players in front of Real Madrid, he can create a threat to whoever he passes, depending on whether they are in a position that can create a threat.

※※※ "This game is worthy of the same city derby, the two sides are very active and fierce ......"

In the fifteenth minute, when Ozil was dribbling the ball in front, he was attacked by Raul. Garcia's violation was knocked to the ground.

It was definitely not the first foul of the game, in fact the first foul came in the third minute of the game. Chu Zhongtian became the first person to be violated.

But the first yellow card is only now. Because of Raul. Garcia knocked Ozil to the ground from behind, and in order to control the growing tempers of both sides, the referee had to show a yellow card to warn Garcia, as well as the other players on both sides who were about to make a move - if anyone dares to challenge my patience in the game, I don't mind letting him off!

This kind of law enforcement scale is better than the kind of first loose and then tighter, rather tighten first, control the situation on the field, and relax a little to ensure the smoothness of the game.

There will be no complaints on either side of the game.

This yellow card is very timely, if the card is not played again, I am afraid that this game will follow the old path of Real Madrid's away challenge to the Hercules team last weekend, everyone will not appreciate any football games, only see the full martial arts.

Mesut Ozil won a free-kick for Real Madrid, and C. Ronaldo took the penalty, but the ball hit the wall directly and did not pose a threat.

C. Ronaldo opened his arms and complained to the referee that the human wall of Atletico Madrid had not retreated enough to reach the required distance of 9.15 meters.

The Atletico Madrid players ignored his protests and after they blocked the ball with their bodies, the ball flew to the front of the pitch and the Atletico Madrid players quickly launched a counter-attack.

Just when Aguero was about to stop the ball, Chu Zhongtian stabbed the football out first.

Chu Zhongtian didn't go up to participate in the attack just now, but stayed in the backfield, just like a defensive midfielder should do.

He got stuck in Atletico Madrid's offensive line and played the role of a key - although there are tens of millions of soldiers, I am invincible!

"Chu stopped Atletico Madrid's counterattack!"

"Very timely re-defense! It was a quick counterattack for Atletico Madrid, and it would be a shame for Real Madrid to let Atletico Madrid score a goal with a quick counterattack......"

"Aguero didn't take advantage of this great opportunity, alas!"

Flores was a little disappointed that the counterattack didn't hit a lot, as evidenced by his abundance of body movements. Mourinho, on the other hand, was still sitting in the dugout, looking at the pitch with a blank face.

In fact, he was already smiling inside.

Now Flores and his men will see the power of Chu Zhongtian being placed in this position.

Aguero waved his hand with some annoyance, if he ran faster and rushed out the football before Chu Zhongtian, he could directly threaten the goal guarded by Casillas, no matter how bad it was, it could cause Chu Zhongtian to foul, a yellow card must be there, maybe it may be a red card.

But it's not that he isn't fast enough, it's that Chu Zhongtian's position was well chosen, and he just happened to appear in that position, no matter how fast he was, there was nothing he could do.

Chu Zhongtian poked the football out of the sideline, and although he gave Atletico Madrid a throw-in, it bought time for his teammates to return to the defense. Now that Real Madrid's players are back, even people like C. Ronaldo, who don't like to defend, have come back to assist in the defense, and Atletico Madrid's attack has not been successful.

This is just the first time.

In this game, when Real Madrid got a set-piece opportunity, Chu Zhongtian would not go up, but stayed behind. This is Mourinho's request for him, Mourinho used Chu Zhongtian's accurate prediction, fast card position, good defensive awareness and overall situation, so that he could be a Poseidon needle in the back, and strictly guard against Atletico Madrid to counterattack.

As for the absence of Chu Zhongtian, will it be affected in terms of offense...... Last season, without Chu Zhongtian joining, Real Madrid also beat Atletico Madrid four times in the league and the Copa del Rey respectively, without any problems. So with those few players in the frontcourt, it is enough to deal with Atletico Madrid.

Flores didn't realize this, he just felt that Chu Zhongtian's luck was really good this time, and it happened to appear at the landing point of football. But next time, neither Real Madrid nor himself will have such good luck......
