Chapter 175: Defensive Experiment (45/136)

Soon Bosque didn't feel easy. ////

Because he saw Valencia constantly making straight stops in attack, it was clear that he increased the number and frequency of straight stops.

The reasons for this are clear.

Valencia hopes to use quantitative changes to cause qualitative changes.

They were going to trade ninety-nine offsides for a chance to succeed, and as long as it was another success, it would be fine.

Because they are already one goal ahead, and one more goal will make it even more difficult for Real Madrid to play in this game.

But Bosque couldn't have done better.

Defensively, this can only be done, if you want to turn the tide of the battle, you have to look at the offense.

Compared to the defense, Real Madrid's attack is much more flashy.

The only way to break the current game is to try to score goals.

As long as Real Madrid can equalize, they can take half of the initiative back.

Then score another goal and the initiative is on your side.

At that time, Valencia, who were behind the score, had every chance to attack, and they could not continue to waste and squander like this, so that Real Madrid's offside tactics would naturally have decisive power.

But how do you score a goal?

Valencia's defence was a real headache for him.

Their defence looks like a pack of mad dogs, and the Real Madrid players with the ball are like a piece of meat that the mad dogs are fighting for.

Whoever gets the ball will immediately be surrounded by at least two players.

For those who focus on the players, there are three Valencia defenders.

A lot of attacks, Real Madrid were destroyed by Valencia at the back, or delayed, losing the best time.

Bosque even felt that the name of the winning game was "Mad Dog Tactic", which must have been based on the characteristics of Valencia's defense, rather than attacking.

Finally Real Madrid played the football to the front, and Valencia changed its style again - stubbornly defending the 30-meter area. If you go back and forth outside, they just won't go out, and they will only be able to shoot from a distance in the end.

And although everyone is inverted, Real Madrid's inverted foot and Valencia's inverted foot are obviously not the same thing.

Valencia's inverted foot is actually tearing apart the opponent's defense in constant passing and running, while Real Madrid's inverted foot is really just passing the ball back and forth.

The key difference is Valencia's inverted foot, where many players are on the move, constantly passing, running, receiving, passing, running, receiving...... And so it goes. Running can make Valencia's attack look like flowing water, flowing water does not rot, and such an attack can be dynamic.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, were fairly fluid in central midfield, and once they reached home, they came to a standstill after encountering Valencia's iron wall.

Most of them stand still, or run very slowly.

After passing the ball, it seems that this attack has nothing to do with him, he just needs to wait in place.

A hundred more passes like this will not be able to tear apart Valencia's defence.

In this way, you can really only rely on the individual strength of the stars to shine.

But now, those stars are stuck in the quagmire of Valencia.

He must not know that the three game skills used to win this game are defensive skills.

In order not to concede a goal, or to concede a less. In this way, the next leg will go to the home stadium to have a chance to win Real Madrid.

In this game, Chang Sheng used the three defensive skills of [Primary Defense], [Flesh and Blood Great Wall] and [Rush Encirclement].

[Primary Defense] is aimed at the overall situation and improves the team's total defensive ability.

[The Great Wall of Flesh] is to strengthen the team's performance when defending the opponent's long-range shots. This is mainly used in the second defensive stage.

[Rush Circle] is used in the first stage of defense, which can improve the success rate of pressing. Although there is a side effect of increasing the rate of physical consumption by three percent, but at this time, the season has just begun, and after a summer of physical reserves, the whole Valencia team is very energetic, and they are not afraid of the impact of such side effects.

So Bosque will feel that those superstars are not playing to their strengths, but they don't know that it is the three defensive skills that play a role......

※※※

Until the end of the first half, Valencia had been offside as many as 10 times, although they had not scored. However, Real Madrid also failed to score, and the score was still 1-0, with Valencia leading the away game.

When the first half of the game ended, the reporters in the media booth and the commentators and commentators of the TV station all looked at each other.

Those who support Real Madrid have an ominous premonition in their hearts.

I don't know if the team will lose to Valencia......

Look at the game, in fact, Valencia's attack is not much to say, the key is defense.

Real Madrid's attacking group is not without formidable formidability. Raul, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, these four people are enough for countless giants to drink a pot, plus a frequent back-plugged Robert. Carlos.

Such a great attacking combination, but there was no goal in the first half......

This is somewhat surprising.

Before the game, when the media analysed the game, although they favored Real Madrid to win, they also believed that Valencia should be able to score. But the key to Real Madrid's win in this game is that Real Madrid's attacking lineup is stronger than Valencia's, and Real Madrid will not be afraid of anyone if it scores goals.

didn't expect such a strong offensive lineup to have no way to take Valencia!

Valencia's defense was even better than they thought!

In the face of the four superstars, their defense is like the Great Wall of China, standing still!

This kind of performance surprised everyone.

In fact, they didn't know that the goal of winning this game was to test the team's defensive ability while fighting for victory.

There's no better litmus test than Real Madrid, whose front line is full of world-class superstars.

As a result, he was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

At half-time, Chang Sheng encouraged everyone's defensive performance, telling them to continue to play like this in the second half, anyway, they are leading now, and there is no reason for them to be the first to adjust. Let Real Madrid go in a hurry!

※※※

Valencia's side is full of hope to win the opponent, while Real Madrid's side and Bosque have problems.

Before entering the dressing room, he received a call from the club's president, Florentino.

On the phone, the club's president asked him why he didn't let Mendieta play.

Bosque says there is no place for Mendieta in the team at the moment.

But Florentino didn't care so much.

All he needs to do is see Mendieta on the pitch and he is convinced that he is the player who can help Real Madrid beat Valencia.

'He's very familiar with Valencia, you should have played him, he can help us beat Valencia!'

In Spanish football, the will of the club president is often everything, they can interfere with the manager's line-up, they can name who plays and who can't. And the head coach is just responsible for leading the team in training and then playing the game.

This is especially true at a club as big as Real Madrid.

Florentino's words, Bosque could not disobey.

But how does Mendieta come into play?

Playing right midfielder? Figo must not be willing.

In fact, since Mendieta came to the team, Figo did not release any good feelings for Mendieta.

This is a player who has clearly come to grab his position......

So you can't put Mendieta in the right midfield.

So, where else could he go?

Front waist? He's not the one to do this. Although he is a free man in the front court.

Finally, on second thought, Bosque remembered that Chang Sheng had once used Mendieta in this way.

It was against Barcelona in Valencia, where Baraja was injured and Pep Guardiola was unavailable due to contract constraints. In order to make up for the double midfield, Chang Sheng finally moved Mendieta to the back position.

Mendieta seemed to be playing in a midfield position in that game...... Pretty decent?

In fact, I don't expect Mendieta to contribute anything to the team, it's good to be decent.

But if you want Mendieta to play in the back...... You have to withdraw a back midfielder.

Makelele defends better than Elgra and is also responsible for defending Deco.

His task is very heavy, and if he can't take it, he will have to sacrifice Elgra.

So at half-time, Real Madrid made adjustments.

Mendieta comes on to replace Elgra.

When Bosque announced the decision, he saw a look of dissatisfaction on Elgra's face.

He knew why Elgra was dissatisfied.

Elgra's performance in the first half was okay, but he was sacrificed in order to make way for Mendieta.

Bosque sighed inwardly.

A Mendieta, a Ronaldo, all made the dressing room a little uncalm...... This is just the beginning of the season, how will the next season be lived?

※※※

At the beginning of the second half, Chang Sheng saw that Mendieta finally came on, but when he played not as a right midfielder, but as a midfielder, he couldn't help but smile directly on his face......

My own nail has finally come into play!

Mendieta plays in the back, which means that Real Madrid's defense in the middle of the midfield is weaker, which is good for Valencia.

"Mendieta is finally here!" This was a gimmick hyped by the media before the game, and now it has finally become a reality, can you not be excited?

But to their disappointment, Mendieta did not show his excellent form in Valencia as he played in central midfield.

The second half looked the same as the first.

Real Madrid intends to test the individual strength of the star to solve the battle.

Valencia, on the other hand, is more about playing with Real Madrid's stars as a whole.

After the first ten minutes, the gap between the two sides began to show.

After all, Real Madrid's midfield is missing a defender, and although Mendieta works hard in the midfield position, if his task is to defend, no matter how hard he works, his performance will not be much better.

In fact, Mendieta's getting worse and worse later has something to do with it.

He was asked by the manager to be involved in defence, and his talent and aura were drained by constant tackles. I can't get back to my original state.

Now it seems that he has officially embarked on the old path. (To be continued.)
