There is a phenomenon that explains Florentino's status and influence at Real Madrid today.

That is, in the Real Madrid presidential election on June 4 this year, he had no rivals and was re-elected without any suspense, not only because in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, it is difficult for anyone to do better than Florentino, but also because he once again played a series of public relations battles.

For example, in the six months leading up to the election, he had been linking the team with Tottenham Hotspur's top superstar Edinson Cavani, which made all Real Madrid fans look forward to it. Ronaldo, Cavani and Gareth? Bale's front trident, what a staggering impact?

At the same time, the club's finance department also revealed that Real Madrid's total financial income in the past year will set an astonishing record, exceeding 500 million euros, reaching 520 million euros, an increase of 1 from the previous season. 3%。

Although the team's growth rate lagged behind Tottenham Hotspur's by a large margin, becoming the first giant team to exceed 500 million did indeed make Real Madrid fans happy for a while, and the team also announced that they would negotiate a broadcast contract, and they offered 200 million euros a year.

In this chain of events, Florentino's popularity was once again pushed to the top, so there was no doubt about his re-election.

But after the re-election, Real Madrid fans asked Florentino to fulfill his promise is getting louder and louder, at the same time, the pressure from sponsors is not small, some media have disclosed that the Spanish media giant Pioneer Media has made a request to Real Madrid, if the superstar Cavani is introduced, they can make appropriate concessions in the broadcast rights negotiations.

Several other sponsors have also said that negotiations for a new contract will depend on Real Madrid's recruitment this summer, and it has even been revealed that the number one sponsor, Emirates Airlines, is willing to pay more for Real Madrid to bring in Cavani, because Cavani's Tottenham Hotspur sponsor is Emirates' rival Qatar Airways.

No one knows whether it is true or false for the inside story of the outside media, but in June, the outside media frequently reported that the negotiations between Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur on the transfer of Cavani have been accelerated, and a large concession has been made on the transfer fee, and the specific transfer amount must exceed 100 million euros, which will create a new sky-high price in Zào football.

There is no doubt that Cavani is coming to Real Madrid, because Tottenham Hotspur simply cannot compete with Real Madrid in terms of salary, while Cavani has already won a Qiē honor at Tottenham Hotspur, and he is now joining Real Madrid, more to get rid of the shadow of teammates such as Messi and Ribery and take charge of himself.

So the biggest gap between the two sides is the issue of transfer value, it has been revealed that Tottenham Hotspur received a transfer offer from Real Madrid as early as half a year ago, and as early as the summer of 2012, Cavani has been a key target for Real Madrid, but Tottenham Hotspur has always refused to negotiate.

Real Madrid continued to raise its offer in the following six months, until it exceeded 100 million euros, which will completely surpass Cristiano? Ronaldo's transfer fee is worth it, but Peter? In an interview, Kenyon half-jokingly threw out a transfer fee of 200 million euros, which almost scared Real Madrid off.

However, after Tottenham Hotspur reached the final and defeated Bayern Munich with a devastating attack, Real Madrid took the initiative to restart negotiations, and Florentino was eager to bring in a top superstar in order to be re-elected and increase the bargaining chips with sponsors, and the new Champions League champion core player Cavani is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

What's more, Real Madrid are well aware that Cavani wants to go, but the price cannot be negotiated.

As a result, after the two sides resumed negotiations, especially after Florentino's re-election, the pace of negotiations accelerated significantly.

On July 4, exactly one month before Florentino's re-election, the Spanish newspapers Marca and Ace announced at the same time that Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur had reached an agreement, and the two sides had negotiated all the details of Cavani's move to Real Madrid, including the contract with the sponsor, and even the payment method and time.

Soon, the next day, Real Madrid's official website also officially pushed the news that the team's transfer of Uruguayan center Cavani from Tottenham Hotspur has been completed, and Cavani will also arrive in Madrid before the team's new season training camp, undergo a medical examination, and participate in the joining ceremony, but the specific transfer amount was not disclosed.

Many newspaper and media analysts believe that more than Cristiano? Ronaldo's transfer fee is no longer in dispute, after all, Cavani's performance over the past few seasons has been obvious to all, and his huge tactical value has also made him Ancelotti's first choice, which is a rare goal, and the manager and chairman are the number one target in mind.

Real Madrid president Florentino was questioned by all reporters on the scene when he participated in a club event on the afternoon of the official announcement of Cavani's arrival, and he also specially accepted a joint interview with a number of reporters.

'I want to emphasise that Edinson Cavani is a very professional player, as evidenced by his appearance at Tottenham Hotspur, and I am sure that when he arrives at the Bernabeu, he will be welcomed in the dressing room, without any instability, and Carlo Ancelotti will be able to harmonize the relationship well.

"The technical officials of the club and many, many people have told me, Cavani and Messi, Cristiano? Cristiano Ronaldo is a high-level player, they're all the best and best superstars on the planet, and we're one of the best teams on the planet. ”

"It's the manager's decision to let Cavani join, but it's also the club's decision, as the chairman, I'm thinking more about the new stimulation and improvement that the player can bring to the team's commercial development, as for his competitive level, I'm sure no one will doubt it, and that's what the manager considers."

Florentino also thanked Tottenham Hotspur.

"This is a great epoch-making signing and I am confident that the arrival of Cavani will bring a new face to Real Madrid. Ronaldo's superstar at the same level, after complex and intense negotiations, we have finally completed the signing, thanks to Tottenham Hotspur for allowing Real Madrid to have the best player in the world. ”

However, Florentino remained silent about how much Cavani's transfer fee was, saying that the team had a confidentiality agreement with Tottenham Hotspur and would not disclose Cavani's transfer fee to the public, but he promised all Real Madrid members and fans that Real Madrid did not need the support of banks and other institutions to complete the acquisition independently.

As if to confirm this, Real Madrid announced the introduction of Isco from Malaga for 30 million euros the day after announcing the introduction of Cavani, and former Real Madrid superstar Zinedine Zidane personally went to Malaga to persuade Isco to join the Bernabeu Stadium.

Edinson Cavani, Isco, Ilya Ramendi, Real Madrid have caused a huge storm in the transfer market.

When Real Madrid announced the introduction of heavy stars, especially midfield stars, Tottenham Hotspur is also strengthening the team's midfield, after the introduction of Lewandowski, Stroman and Mitrovic, Tottenham Hotspur announced that Sandroga five million euros in cash in exchange for Southampton's midfielder Manja? Matic.

Nemanja? Nemanja Matic has been the cornerstone of Southampton's midfield for the past season. The midfield of Powell and Schneiderlin was seen as an excellent pillar of Southampton's table last season, and this season Tottenham Hotspur announced that they would add Nick? Powell, Coutinho and Lucas? Mora and others renewed their lease in Southampton.

At the same time, Southampton relied on the team's better ranking in the Premier League last season to further strengthen the team's reinforcements, successively bringing in Immobile, Nkuru, Lovren and Sandro, and a little money to spare, it is said that they have a crush on Celtic's beast waist Wanyama.

Southampton manager Adrianse has stated that he will try to finish better in the league in the new season.

After beating Chelsea and bringing in Nemanja Matic, Tottenham Hotspur spent more than €50 million this summer, the biggest signing season in the last five or six years.

And with the addition of Lewandowski, Stroman and Nemanja Matic, Tottenham Hotspur will also make a series of changes in the new season, especially in the midfield, which will obviously become tougher, and considering that there are already Ramsey, Pogba, Phil? Jones, Eriksen, Vidal and Andrea Pirlo are the stars of Tottenham's midfield thickness.

In the case of a cloud of good players, how to coordinate the appearance of players has also become a problem that Ye Qiu and the coaching staff need to consider, but more importantly, how to develop the team's tactical play in the new season?

…………

…………

When many people mention modern football tactics, they will always think of many, many things, such as ball control, but in fact, modern football tactics are becoming more and more clear and clear, that is, one word, fast!

In fact, from the past few decades to the present, the style of football has been constantly changing and evolving, but in the end, it comes down to one word, fast!

The speed here is the overall speed, the speed of collaboration, and the speed of interaction.

Now there are some Premier League teams that are pursuing a continental style and a possession system, but they don't pay attention to cooperation, often the central defenders take the ball, and the other players around them don't run over to answer, and then the full-backs or midfielders see that no one is going to answer, they will pull back, or run over to answer, once they have the ball, they see that no one is answering, then pass it back.

As a result, you have the ball, but the tempo is slower.

Therefore, it is very clear that today's football is a game of rapid mobility and team interaction, and in this case, overemphasizing the sense of position is actually a kind of behavior that restricts mobility, an old-school way of thinking that cannot keep up with the development trend of modern football.

Ye Qiu didn't say that the sense of location was not important, but he felt that the so-called sense of location should not be pursued too much.

You must know that a qiē on the football field will never exist alone, they must complement each other and interact with each other.

It's like a sense of location, what is a sense of location? Who can say why?

In the words of some media people and fans, a sense of location is all about being where you should be.

It's like a lot of people say that Makelele's sense of position is against the sky, and there is an exclusive Makelele area, from this point of view, their sense of position in their eyes is their own garrison area in the whole set of tactical formations, which is a fixed position, such as in front of the defensive line.

Well, if a midfielder who is dragging the defense back, rushes forward away from the defensive line, and the guò jams the opponent's ball route in advance and completes an interception, is this a good prediction? Or is it a good sense of location? Or is it better to have both?

But if he didn't break the ball this time, but was used by the opponent to take advantage of the vacuum area left after his robbery and directly hit the defensive line, would it be because he had the wrong timing to grab it, or it was a bad prediction, or a poor sense of position?

Looking at this problem from another angle, when the defender decided not to grab, he was actually in trouble, because the defense line composed of his teammates in front of him was broken, he grabbed it, he must have lost his position, but there is still a chance to defuse, not to grab, stand in position, but it is useless, the opponent will bypass your position to attack your defense.

So on the surface, it seems that the problem of this midfielder is whether he is up or not, but in fact, it is not him who really plays the decisive role, but the teammate in front of him.

Usually the head coach solves these problems in two ways, keep the front, bring in a midfielder with better tackling and anticipation ability, and get stuck in the ball route when the opponent breaks through the heavy frontcourt, even if it can't be resolved, force the opponent to slow down the attack and provide time for the frontcourt players to return to the defense.

The second is to bring in a midfielder with excellent defensive ability and return awareness to protect the area in front of the midfielder.

Mourinho wants to bring in Matic, in fact, he has to take the previous route!

And if you look at the definition of the sense of location in the eyes of some people, is Matic's sense of position good?

Or is Mourinho really looking for a positional midfielder like Claude Makelele?

The answer is no, because modern football, especially in the new century, is about fluidity and change.

When all ten players on the pitch except for the goalkeeper are running, constantly changing positions, the definition of positional sense should also change, and it should be more of an ability for players to coordinate the connection between themselves and their teammates and maintain the distance between them.

The distance is too close, the connection is too close, and they interfere with each other, but form internal friction; The distance is too far, the connection is too sparse, and there is a gap in the middle, which is easy to be used by the opponent, so you need to keep observing and making judgments, especially in a game, the opponent is also constantly changing the running position and passing route, which is affecting and interfering with your judgment.

Not only the defense, but also the offense, the ball and the movement of your teammates, the intention of your teammates, the direction and strategy of the team's attack, these must be clear, because only when you know this qiē clearly, you can know how to respond to your teammates, how to receive the ball from your teammates.

Ye Qiu felt that it was like driving.

All those who have driven a car, especially a car, must know very well that when you sit in the cab, you can't see the front and rear of the vehicle at all, you look at the front of the car, you feel like you're going to hit the front beam, but it's actually still far away, when you're cornering, looking to the side feels like it's going to be scraped, and actually getting out of the car to see, there's still a bit of distance.

Many novices will admire those old drivers, driving knows how to choose the road, can always drive the car very smoothly, ask the reason, the old driver always said very heavenly, you must have a sense of location, anytime and anywhere know where your four wheels are, understand where your car is.

That's the sense of place!

The so-called sense of position is not only your current position, but also your next position, which requires you to have a clear enough judgment of the situation, you have enough ability to predict the next development, and even deeper, you must be clear about your own characteristics and abilities, as well as the situation of the team.

It's like when you're driving, you have to know at least what kind of car you're driving, how wide it is, how long it is, what kind of road you're taking, how wide it is, and so on, because that's the most basic.

In fact, Ye Qiu never sold Fabregas and David? Silva and Yaya? Since Toure, he has been pursuing the transformation of the midfield, and he has begun to speed up the team again, so he has gathered a group of players in the midfield who can play both attack and defensively.

If you analyze the three lines of Tottenham Hotspur, when attacking, the front court takes the ball, the midfielder and two full-backs are inserted, Pirlo and the central defender are responsible for dragging back and responding, and acting as the point of attack, while when defending, the front court is responsible for pressing and delaying, the midfield is more about interception and pressing, and the back field is responsible for defending.

At the moment of switching from offense to defense, the midfielder does not control the ball too much, but emphasizes a quick kick out of the ball, as quickly as possible to transfer the ball to the front, and then use the cooperation of the frontcourt players to attack, once the fast attack is not successful, the midfielder's back insertion and the fullback's follow-up, immediately form the second and third wave of offensive echelon, especially Ramsey and Vidal, are very good at using the defensive vacuum created by the impact of the ball in the front.

That's why Ye Qiu said that Lewandowski is important, more important than Cavani, because he can hold the ball in front.

But this tactic also has a certain risk, that is, once the midfielder is inserted, he can't come back at the moment of losing the ball, and it is often easy to cause the opponent's attack to directly face the Tottenham Hotspur defense, so Ye Qiu put Ramsey and Vidal in the midfield, and their movement and coverage are quite good.

On the flip side, if there is a player who can cover a large area in front of the defence and provide enough protection for the midfielders, then why bother Ramsey and Vidal at the same time?

With the extra spot, can there be another offensive player?
