Chapter 61: Bernabeu, I'm here again!

At Manchester United's championship celebration, the players basically drank high, only Shaq, Rooney, Papadopoulos and other players who were extremely demanding of themselves did not drink, and there were also Ganso, Van der Wiel and other players who drank less to keep their heads clear.

"Brutal Simon" is still brutal, and even if the players have missed the rest of the rest day the next day of the game because of the celebrations, he has not relaxed the policy, because the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Manchester United and Real Madrid is here, and Manchester United will be visiting the Bernabeu this time.

There wasn't much training time left for United, one day on April 6 and one morning on April 7, and then United had to fly to Madrid, Spain.

Although it was only such a day and a half, Simon? Grayson still did a lot of work, especially the team's tactical "change"!

This transformation is not a direct adjustment, but Simon? Grayson saw Rooney's performance after changing to the midfield, so he was relieved and boldly made some adjustments, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the current team's four-three-three transformation formation Shaq single arrow tactics and the "solar system tactics" between the change.

In the last game against Manchester United away to Derby, "Little Fatty" performed really well in his new position, his passes were not very many, and the success rate was only 82%, but Rooney had 8 tackles, 5 headers, 2 interceptions and 1 assist.

Manchester United's three midfielders Ganso can only attack, Flanei is only good at defending, but Rooney has become a good propeller in both attack and defense, and because the "little fat" game is really experienced, his play in the midfield position is not inferior to the striker, except for the number of goals less.

That's because of it. Simon? In the first day and a half, Grayson had Manchester United practice constantly switching from four-three-three to "solar system tactics" and then to four-three-three on the pitch.

But because of concerns that the players don't know when to switch and when to switch back, Simon? Grayson assigned several tactical gestures to Rooney, Nani, Shaq, Ganso, and Di Maria, and asked them to act according to their gestures.

Although Simon? Grayson is also well aware that relying on his own gestures to drive the transition pace is much slower. But there is really no other good way in the hurry, and it is better to be prepared than nothing!

In fact, at this time, Ancelotti was also worried, he also watched the video of the championship match between Manchester United and Derby, and also found Manchester United's hidden tactical changes, so far it seems that even if Manchester United's lineup remains the same, they may play two different tactics.

Shaq was more aggressive in his playful play at center, while Simon? Grayson's famous "solar system tactics" are more in control, and United are in excellent overall form at the moment. There are no injuries and no suspensions, which makes it even more difficult to judge what tactics the opponent will play.

There is no way, Ancelotti can only arrange two different countermeasures for his team, don't look at the current Real Madrid squad luxury, with Cristiano? Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Ozil and a large number of other sub-stars, but Ancelotti was also stretched thin when arranging tactics, Bale seemed to have lost his magical ability after transferring to Real Madrid, and he was very uncomfortable. Either injured or playing on the pitch, the momentum of beating all opponents on the left side of Tottenham Hotspur has completely disappeared. Ancelotti has even suggested that Florentino sell Bale before he is too depreciated, otherwise it could easily be smashed into his hands.

Carlo Ancelotti has been in charge of Real Madrid for almost two seasons, and now he is starting to hate Florentino's set, this old guy only buys people based on fame, and doesn't care whether it suits the tactical needs of his team, and he doesn't care if he buys it and stuffs it for the manager. It's just a matter of getting the players to play well, otherwise it's a dereliction of duty on the part of your manager.

After experiencing the excitement of being a superstar in the early days, Ancelotti is really unspeakable now, and he can't play at all when he is full of tactical ideas. Real Madrid, which has piled up too many offensive players, seems to have embarked on the old path of the original "Galaxy Battleship" period, the defense is getting weaker and weaker, and the entire defense line is supported by Ramos alone, facing the "Red Devils" Manchester United with such a poor defensive ability, and facing Shaq who is bound to score 100 goals to create a miracle this season, Ancelotti really has no confidence at all.

In his pre-match press conference before the big game, Carlo Ancelotti unveiled his team's starting and substitute lists, and then it became known that "Ancelotti" was still using what he thought was the most secure 4-2-3-1 formation this time.

On the forward line is the powerful striker Benzema, and then Cristiano? Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil and Lucas? Mura.

Brazilian midfielder Lucas? Mura was bought from Sao Paulo for 30 million euros by Real Madrid this season, and the 22-year-old Lucas wore the No. 8 shirt for Real Madrid, scoring 11 goals and providing 11 assists in 36 games for Real Madrid this season.

Behind the three fronts, Xavi? Alonso and Khedira, the defensive combination of the back, Ancelotti's tactics do not need the two of them to organize the team's attack, Pirlo is not anyone, the two of them only need to slow down the opponent's offensive rhythm and help their team defend, he is at the top of the current La Liga standings with this tactic, as many as 11 points ahead of Sevilla, who are second in second place with one more game.

Despite Ancelotti's dissatisfaction with his team's back line, he still has a one-day All-Star line-up of the line, with three veterans of Ramos, Marcelo and Pepe, as well as the rising star of the backline, 21-year-old French centre-back Rafael? Varane.

The French central defender has come to Real Madrid in the Mourinho era, and in recent years, through continuous accumulation of experience, he has gradually stabilized the position of Real Madrid's central defender, and the Frenchman with a height of 191 cm has a strong air defense ability, which is precisely the lack of strength in the Real Madrid back line before.

In the goalkeeper position, it was originally because of age. Casillas, who only used his experience in cup competitions and reduced his appearances to maintain his form, was injured, and Carlo Ancelotti had to send Diego? Lopez, anyway, the team basically has no problem winning the league title, and trying to make a breakthrough in the Champions League is the right thing.

Manchester United's starting line-up was not a surprise, or was it Shaq, Wayne Rooney, Ganso, Di Maria, Nani, Flanei, Jose? Angel, Van der Wiel, Subotic, Papadopoulos and De Gea.

Simon? Grayson's lineup was announced as soon as it was announced. Ancelotti sighed in his heart: Sure enough! Simon? Grayson, you're really lucky, there haven't been any major injuries in the team this season, and it seems that Manchester United's physical training is really high enough.

Unlike Manchester United's elite team, which has only 21 players in the first team, Real Madrid's first team has as many as 28 players, although there are many big stars among them, but Ancelotti always feels that he has too few people to use, which is the result of the imbalance in the team.

On the evening of April 8, it was rebuilt several times. From 120,000 people to only 80,000 spectators, the Bernabeu Stadium has reached a full state, and the hot atmosphere at the scene is shocking, which is also the result that Florentino wants, he doesn't like how many people the stadium can hold, the pursuit of 100% attendance is king, and the more luxurious and modern facilities after the renovation can also make fans willing to pay more money, Real Madrid in the Florentino era is definitely the first in the world in terms of commercial operations.

Unlike the profitability of the "Red Devils" Manchester United, Real Madrid's task every season is to spend money. After their members pay their membership fees, they have a balance every year if the team doesn't spend the money. Then continue to spend more money in the second year, on the basis of constantly burning money, burning money, and burning money again, Real Madrid has today's luxurious lineup, but it is precisely because of this that Real Madrid always lacks a spirit of their own, and their strength is indeed strong. But the spiritual construction is very poor.

Before the players of both sides entered the stadium, the commentators from various countries on the scene were warming up......

"We all know that Real Madrid is one of the richest teams in the world, they have a super luxurious star squad, Cristiano? Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Mesut Ozil, Karim Benzema and others are all long-standing stars, but we also have to remind everyone. Manchester United's performance this season has been terrifying, they haven't lost a game so far, so even if United play away from home, the outcome is not clear. ”

"Carlo Ancelotti still didn't use Bale in this game, the Welshman was put on the bench, it seems that Bale's inability to integrate into the team's tactics still affects his position in the team, and in such a crucial game, Ancelotti still can't vote for him."

"We all know that United's Shaq has become the greatest goalscorer in the history of football, he has scored 96 goals for Manchester United so far this season, and the last two games will be the chance for Shaq to increase his goals in a single season to triple figures, I wonder if he will complete this feat in one go! You know, it may be harder for others to score four goals in a game than it is to climb to the sky, but it is not impossible for Shaq! ”

"After a few years of accumulation, we Real Madrid are once again ready to hit the Champions League, the team has performed very well in the league this year, we can basically ensure that we can win the title, but this time whether Carlo Ancelotti can lead the team to overcome Manchester United's obstacles to win the Champions League trophy is still a big test for the Italians...... Ah, the players are starting to enter! ”

In the tunnel of players, the stars of Manchester United and Real Madrid each pulled a ball boy into the field.

Shaq looked at the flickering lights in this great stadium and listened to the deafening tsunami cheers, and he couldn't help but think of last season's game for Leeds United, when he also met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and Leeds United beat Real Madrid 2-1 away. Grayson and Shaq once again stepped onto the turf of the Bernabeu Stadium......

19 chapters still owed! It's a lot of debt! But the fat man will never pay his bills! Today is a rush forward, and a little advance for tomorrow's outbreak! HOHO, I'm tired, let's ^_^ sleep (to be continued......)
