It was another cloudless day, and the blue sky hung with a round of rising warm sun, which brought a touch of warmth to Madrid in early spring, and somewhat drove away the chill of winter.

Juander Ramos drove the Audi AU that the club gave him as standard, driving on the Nll road to Madrid airport, he didn't turn on the heating, and even opened a gap window on both sides of the front seat, allowing a little cool air outside the window to get into the car, because he felt that he was hot all over, and even a little back to the mood he had when he was young and went out on a date with his lover for the first time.

He is not young, of course he can't still be in Huaichun now, he feels that the time has come for his fate to take a turn

There have been two turning points in his life, the first was when he dreamed of playing in La Liga, becoming a professional player or even a Spanish international, but at the age of 23 he had to retire early due to injury, and in his life, he played only three La Liga games, which was the first major defeat of his life.

But he was not discouraged by this, at the age of thirty-seven, he became a professional coach, and spent several years to learn and accumulate, and finally in 96 he led the La Liga team to the second place in La Liga, and successfully promoted to La Liga, but it was in the summer of this year that the super giant Barcelona extended an olive branch to him.

Is it to lead the Rogros team further into the coveted La Liga? Or go to the super giants to coach the second team to play in the second division?

It may be a difficult choice for any young manager who is caught in the middle of it, but just when he hesitated, Cruyff managed to convince him and decided to go to Barcelona, hoping to learn more about Cruyff, about Michels, about Dutch attacking and defending football.

The experience in Barcelona opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the world of football tactics is so vast, how small everything he used to learn, he desperately studied in Barcelona, absorbed all the knowledge he needed, although it was only one year, but completely changed his coaching career.

From Rayo Vallecano to Real Betis to Espanyol to Malaga and then to Sevilla, Juander Ramos has risen one step higher, and even in the summer of UR year, when Rijkaard announced his resignation and Cruyff recommended the list of managers to Barcelona management, Juan de Ramos was ranked first, even higher than Pep Guardiola.

Because of this, Juande Ramos is known as a disciple of Cruyff.

And in the month of the UR year, he ushered in the third major turning point of his life, taking charge of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Barcelona, which are undoubtedly the two super giants of Spain, both the player and the manager, dream of joining these two teams, and after missing out on Barcelona, Juan de Ramos chose Real Madrid to take over the mess left by Schuster.

The opening game was lost 0 to Barcelona, but Juan de Ramos didn't have to take much responsibility for it, and soon he gave Real Madrid and all the Bernabeu fans everything they wanted most, a victory

And it's a total victory

But more importantly, his team is playing better and better, from the previous 0 narrow win to the later 3:0 to the previous 40 away win against Sporting Gijon, and the last to the past, last night at the Bernabeu Stadium L slaughter of Real Betis, Juan de Ramos was cheered by all the Bernabeu fans in the stadium.

What's even more surprising is that Real Madrid's six goals all came in the first half, and in the second half, Juan de Ramos obviously wanted to save for the Champions League in midweek, so he replaced three players in one go, and in the post-match press conference, he shouted in a high-profile way to attack Barcelona

'La Liga is far from the end, seven points behind Barcelona, it's not an insurmountable gap for us, we showed amazing quality in this game and I think we're ready to break out'

As for the upcoming Champions League round of 16 knockout match in midweek, Juan de Ramos also said in an interview, "Real Madrid has struggled to cross the threshold of the Champions League round of 16 in the past four years, which has something to do with our poor group stage, but I want to say that we will beat Tottenham Hotspur at home"

The poor group stage is due to the fact that they have finished second in three of the last four seasons in the group stage, so they have faced top teams such as Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Munich in the knockout round of 16, which makes it difficult for Real Madrid, who are not in a good situation, to get past the barrier of the last 16.

But this time the situation is markedly different

With nine straight wins and two big wins in a row, Juande Ramos feels that his blood has been completely activated

"Don't be surprised if we win at the Bernabeu with a 0"

It's a bit of a joke, but even after a night, Juan Ramos wants to laugh when he thinks back to what he said to reporters last night, but he doesn't feel anything wrong with it because he's confident in his team's current form.

Yes, Tottenham Hotspur are indeed the most attacking team in Europe this season, but that was in the Premier League, in La Liga, at the Bernabeu, and they can continue to wreak havoc? And be able to continue to be majestic

Juan de Ramos knows very well that Ye Qiu is the current coach and Tottenham Hotspur is the defending champions, but as long as he stops the pair, he will win the bargaining chip to renew his contract with Real Madrid in the summer, and his coaching career will be transformed once again, and he will completely become one of the top European coaches.

On Nll Road, you can see the Di Stefano Stadium in Real Madrid's Valdebebas training ground, a high steel frame structure, surrounded by a large industrial area, and now a large construction is underway, and Real Madrid's training base was previously regarded as the top in the world, only later surpassed by Tottenham Hotspur's Theobald.

"Such a luxurious training base should be worthy of a luxurious manager," Juander Ramos muttered with a smile as he glanced at Valdebebas in the distance, which was like a pearl on the yellow earth.

Audi entered Valdebebas and went straight to the training building of the first team, they have a dedicated car park, all Audi, and because they had just finished La Liga last night, the training session was suspended early this morning.

Now there are only Juan de Ramos and his coaching team, such as his most important assistant Alvarez.

Today's task of the coaching staff is to draw up the tactics for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 match with Tottenham Hotspur in midweek, because Real Madrid is the second in the group, so the two-legged game is home and away, which is more unfavorable, so the home team must win, otherwise, the La Liga team will always be a little uncomfortable with the cold and rainy England.

Although Juan de Ramos is known as a protégé of Cruyff, he did not adopt the 433 tactic that the Dutch coach is used to, and if it is due to lack of quality in other teams, then in Real Madrid it is clear that there is no problem in this regard, but he still insists on the 44 tactic.

But Juander Ramos's 44 tactics will have appropriate changes, in which Raul, who has two strikers, will often retreat in tandem, and on the whole, it can be said that 3l or 44l I will change depending on the situation.

At present, Real Madrid has no personnel injuries, but due to the stupidity of the board, it turned out that when the two players of Las Diarra and Huntelaar could only play in the Champions League, Juan de Ramos chose Las Diarra, because the latter is what Real Madrid's midfield needs at the moment.

The first item on the agenda of the internal meeting of the coaching staff was to discuss the results of the game against Real Betis, and Alvarez believes that a big reason why Real Madrid have won the last two games is that the team's possession is guaranteed.

"Playing Sporting Gijón and playing Real Betis, we had the possession on the UU, and against Real Betis we even reached it, which is definitely a very high number, higher than Barcelona

Juander Ramos nodded incessantly, "For what?" ”

"Two wings alive" Alvarez is Juander Ramos' most important assistant, especially in terms of tactics, "At first we needed to be stable defensively, so we limited Ramos's forward insertion and didn't let him press up to attack, so we defended steadily, but the offensive ability was not strong"

Juander Ramos nodded again, "It is mainly reflected in the pressure, in this regard, I think that Tottenham Hotspur's Ye Qiu's insistence on two full-backs to assist in the tactics is very similar to Ajax, because only the side gives the opponent enough pressure, combined with the midfield pressing, can the high defense be played."

Real Madrid pressed Real Betis and scored six goals in the half, which is to push the defense forward and press Real Betis to play

"Tottenham Hotspur will definitely stick to this tactical style of play, we only have two options, either press up and fight with them, or retreat to defend, of course, Tottenham Hotspur has another player on the side, Arbeloa, his defensive ability is very good, although he also has some offensive ability, but Ye Qiu may use him to defend one side"

Real Madrid is flanked by Heinze and Vargas on the left, Ramos and Robben on the right, the left side can be described as both offensive and defensive, but the right side is more difficult to say, Ramos is the main attack on the right side, Ramos retreats, and the right side basically relies on Robben to fight alone.

But not necessarily, just like when playing Real Betis, the right side was contained, Heinze and Vargas on the left side stepped forward to participate in the attack, and directly created three goals in the front, Vargas performed very well, and Heinze's insertion attack was also very threatening.

So, in this game the attack on both wings was completely activated

"We were at home in midweek, we were playing against Tottenham Hotspur, but we couldn't retreat, as Alex Ferguson said, to play a team like Tottenham Hotspur, you have to overtake them in terms of momentum," said Juan de Ramos, who thought for a moment.

If Ye Qiu heard it at this time, he would definitely find Ferguson and praise him fiercely, because this nonsense that this old guy said is really harmful, don't you see that they Manchester United play Tottenham Hotspur almost all shrink defense?

"Our ability to advance in the middle is not strong, so we need to be on the wing, Ramos is still pressing forward, depending on the situation on the left, especially be careful of Messi, the midfielder must maintain more points, compete with them for possession, and complete the promotion through the wing, especially Ramos and Robben on the right"

Real Madrid's current squad is basically goalkeeper Casillas, with Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe and Ramos in the backline, Vargas, Gago, Las Diarra and Robben in midfield, and Huntelaar and Raul in the midfield.

Sneijder and Van der Vaart gradually lost their main position after Juande Ramos came to power, and entered the rotation stage.

In the middle of the midfield, Las Diarra and Gago obviously did not have the ability to advance with the ball, so Juande Ramos let Raul frequently retreat in tandem, and Huntelaar was in front, and then actively attacked through the wings.

However, because Huntelaar will not be able to participate in the Champions League, Real Madrid's striker in this game will become Higuain.

Whether it is in the traditional Ajax 433 tactics, or in the tactics after Cruyff came to Spain to coach Barcelona, the wing attack has always been placed in a very important position, which is actually reflected in Ye Qiu's body, almost all Dutch managers attach great importance to the wing.

The reason is simple, without the wing, the team's central midfield must be less pressing, and the game will definitely become ugly, because of the lack of width, and width and depth are the two most important elements to consider in a set of tactics

With the improvement of the last two games, especially the two games in a row, Juan de Ramos has ambitions to beat Tottenham Hotspur at his home turf.

To this end, he even spent a morning with the coaching staff, studying in great detail how to respond during the game, and even how to cooperate after the players attack the opponent's 30-meter area, he took all possibilities into account.

It was noon, the tactical meeting was over, and the group went to the restaurant in Valdebebas to eat.

The sports channel of Spanish Radio and Television is broadcasting the latest sports news, including a news about Tottenham Hotspur, which is Ye Qiu leading the team to the 26th round of the Premier League, beating Hull City 0 away, and giving an interview to reporters at the post-match press conference.

Tottenham Hotspur also had room for this game, including Cavani, Eden Hazard and other players all got starts, obviously for the midweek trip to Madrid, but Ye Qiu smiled at the post-match press conference and said that he was not worried about this midweek game.

"I know that in the eyes of many fans, the Bernabeu Stadium is a sacred temple, but in my eyes at this moment, the Bernabeu Stadium is our next fortress to be conquered, we will not be conservative because of Real Madrid's past glory, we will stick to the attacking characteristics of Tottenham Hotspur and give it our all from the beginning."

"Maybe it's a good warm-up opportunity for us to prepare for the quarter-finals."

As soon as he heard Ye Qiu say such a thing in that smiling tone on TV, Juande Ramos's face became ugly, he didn't seem to remember at all, he also said that he would beat Tottenham Hotspur 0 at the Bernabeu Stadium, and now Ye Qiu is just fighting back.

'The Premier League teams have a more open style of play, but they are less organised defensively and less tactically tactical, so as long as we play our passing and receiving advantage, I believe our forwards will be able to break down the Tottenham defence, as evidenced by Torres' success in the Premier League,' Alvarez reassured.

Torres has performed very well after joining Liverpool, and he himself has repeatedly mentioned that the Premier League's defensive system is indeed relatively rough compared to La Liga, but what he is talking about is the middle and bottom of the Premier League

Two days later, Tottenham Hotspur arrived at Madrid Airport in crisp Versace suits

In the past three years, the Premier League team has played an intoxicating offensive football, winning the respect and affirmation of countless fans in the world, coupled with Ye Qiu's influence, they have fans wherever they go.

And when the reporter blocked Ye Qiu at the airport and asked about what he said before that he would purely regard Real Madrid's battle as a warm-up, Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "I have never said that, I respect Real Madrid very, very much, but this is a life-and-death game, I want to win, there is no problem, right?" ”

'We take every game very seriously, we play every Champions League game as if it were a final and try to win, that's what I intended, and what I said in the media before I felt that my intention was distorted'

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled at the players behind him again, and continued to face the microphone: "It's as if I never believed that Mr. Juande Ramos would say that it would be easy to win against us0 I believe that no team in the world has such confidence and certainty."

Ye Qiu said with confidence when he said the last sentence, and the players behind him also cheered when they heard it, obviously cheering for the head coach, who dares to say that he can win Tottenham Hotspur in the current world football

And when Ye Qiu left, the players behind him passed the camera and microphone one after another, and they all expressed their confidence in winning the game, and many of them expressed their hope to win Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium with a 0

The media are used to this kind of pre-match war of words, and they welcome it because it helps them make news and hype up sales, so why not?

However, whether you can really win the game or not depends on the strength on the court.

Real Madrid's match against Tottenham Hotspur not only attracted Madrid's political and business celebrities, attracted members of the Spanish royal family to the scene, but also attracted another person to appear at the Bernabeu Stadium
