Chapter 59: Advance to the Semifinals (One More Subscription Request!) )

"Suke! A breakthrough from Sooke! Oh, God! He's so fast! ”

The Stade Atlántico de Bordeaux, a stadium with a capacity of more than 40,000 fans.

In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the passionate Bordeaux fans quickly lost their voices.

They watched on the left flank, the guy in the black away No.9 shirt, as he pounded their defences along the flank, as if their hearts were being clutched tightly in their hands.

They were too nervous to breathe.

I'm afraid that any negligent moment will be broken through by that guy.

For 20 minutes, it was as if the whole stadium had been stripped of sound.

You can see how much oppression this guy has brought to them.

"Suke! It's his breakthrough on the flanks again, how can Bordeaux limit him? ”

Sooke began to pedal his bicycle under his feet.

In the shot, Suker's upper body swayed extremely violently, which dazzled the eyes of the Bordeaux defenders.

The closer Suke got closer, the more nervous he became.

The moment Suker plucked the ball, the Bordeaux defender finally couldn't bear the pressure and stretched out his feet.

In the next second, Suker slammed his feet and pulled out the space for the shot in reverse.

Then followed up with a left-footed volley, the ball slipped under the crotch of the opponent's step, bypassed the goalkeeper's ten fingers and hung precisely on the side netting.

"Goal!!!! Sucre!! ”

"Wonderful individual performance, 20 minutes, Bordeaux still couldn't resist Suker's attack, Real Madrid led Bordeaux 1-0 away, and they were one step closer to the Champions League semi-finals."

Gonzalez shouted loudly.

Suker celebrates with his arms spread out in the corner.

Looking at this scene, Bordeaux fans were a little breathless.

His face turned a little red, and he wanted to scold this arrogant guy, but in their hearts, they told themselves how wonderful Su Ke's breakthroughs were.

Under this ambivalence, the stadium became silent, with only a small number of Real Madrid fans cheering and cheering.

In the VIP stand in Porto, Florentino sat with Zinedine Zidane.

"Suker's performance is still so good, it feels like he hasn't been affected by the season." Zidane shook his head and sighed.

Now that he has retired, he will also recall the years when he used to run on the green field from time to time, and he was amazed more than once to see Suke's performance.

"That's why I brought him to the Bernabeu at all costs." The corners of Florentino's mouth curled slightly.

At the beginning, when he planned to spend 100 million on the transfer fee, the old diehards of the board of directors shook their heads desperately one by one.

Florentino insisted on going his own way, which led to Suker taking him to the Bernabeu.

And now, Suke's performance at the Bernabeu has made many people say that 100 million is really cheap.

Of course, Suker has yet to bring any glory to Real Madrid.

On the one hand, this is Suker's first season.

On the other hand, even if there are some problems this season, fans and executives have decided that as long as Suker is still at Real Madrid, they can build a super team around Suker.

A team that can compete with Barcelona and even suppress the opponent.

Florentino took a sip of red wine, looked at the field, and said slowly: "After this game, it's the national derby, and we are going to face Barcelona away!" ”

It's going to be another tough game! ”

Zidane sighed.

The current Real Madrid is under more pressure than when he was playing, mainly because Barcelona next door has come up with a stronger and more complete Dream Three Army.

At that time, as long as they limited Xiao Luo, they could win the game very well.

But now Barcelona is based on multiple cores, and it is difficult to target restrictions.

"Ledpool is inexperienced, and it's time for you to help them set up their tactics." Florentino said.

Zidane waved his hand: "I can only give some advice to me, I would rather have the tactics developed together, when I was a player, I didn't like those bossy managers, and I also hope that sometimes they can listen to my advice, but there are very few opportunities like this, so this time, I plan to have a good exchange." ”

Florentino glanced at Zidane and sighed slowly: "Whatever you want, anyway, it's a transitional thing, Ledeck is inexperienced, you can give him some help in this regard." ”

Zidane nodded: "Mourinho's side."

The corners of Florentino's mouth curled up with a slight smile.

"No one can refuse Real Madrid's offer, and if Mourinho wants to go one step further and taste what it's like to coach a real giant, or let go against Barcelona, then his choice is ours!"

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

The audience was in an uproar.

Florentino and Zidane turned their heads at the same time.

They saw a figure in the big penalty area of Bordeaux, jumping up, leaning back, head down and on foot, and slamming his left foot towards the ball.

A wonderful upside-down golden hook!

"Wow!"

Zidane couldn't help but marvel.

Florentino also danced with his eyebrows.

Swish!

The ball goes into the net.

The stadium fell silent again.

Florentino's eyes were blazing.

"And there's that. No manager can resist the temptation to coach Suker! ”

At halftime, Suker ate a banana and watched LedP analyze the situation.

'As we expected, Bordeaux's forward line couldn't threaten our defence, and of course, Ramos played well.

The crowd turned to look at Ramos.

Ramos raised his hand and smiled coolly.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

However, Ramos did a good job in this game.

Suker is also looking at Ramos, in the process of transformation, he does need some opponents who are comparable to his own ability, so that he can constantly familiarize himself with this position.

The opponents within La Liga, with the exception of those teams, are either too strong or too weak.

There is a strong division of strength, which has led to a scarcity of experience for Ramos to draw on.

Especially after playing a weak team, I feel that I am in a good state, and then I have to face Barcelona, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, etc., and the pressure suddenly rises, breaking the form I maintained before.

Therefore, it is important to have an opponent who adapts to the transition period.

Suke took a bite of a banana and chewed, "In the second half, Kareem can come on the field and find his form." ”

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

But Real Madrid, who had a big lead on aggregate, had nothing to fear and played with ease.

Bordeaux, on the other hand, is a mess.

Shamacher was completely confused up front, they couldn't get a pass from a team-mate, and even Ramos would knock him to the ground.

Combining the performances of these two games, it is simply not too bad.

The spotlight was on Suke, as if the two of them were in two worlds.

So far, all his provocations and ridicules, Su Ke has not said a word, ignoring him from beginning to end.

This seems to confirm the words of the media!

Clown!

At this moment, Shamacher was full of uncertainty about his future.

Can he still play better?

Is this your limit?

When a player starts to doubt himself, his ceiling is also limited.

On 71 minutes, Real Madrid made a substitution.

Suker went off and Benzema played.

With the victory in hand, Real Madrid began to make more tactical substitutions, on the one hand, to do a good job of defense, and on the other hand, to let the main players on the field to find form.

After all, the Spanish national derby is coming soon.

This game is even tougher than the first half of the season!

For that, they need to be ready to go to Camp Nou in the best possible condition.

"This is the end of the game, Real Madrid beat Bordeaux 4-0 on aggregate over two legs, and the last time they qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League was back in the 2002/2003 season, and after seven years, they are back in the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

"Let's congratulate Real Madrid! After seven years of waiting, the curse of the Champions League round of 16 has finally been broken, and we are looking forward to better performances in the future. ”

After advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid's overall morale is also very high.

This season, despite stumbling and experiencing many problems, he reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and was also in the league to maintain the top position in the standings.

It's fair to say that it's a season to look forward to.

Of course, the next game will be more difficult and they need to be prepared.

The next day, inside the Real Madrid manager's office.

"Sorry, I'm a bit messy here!"

Ledpool sorted through the papers and various paper balls scattered on the table.

Suker took a brief look at Casillas and found that it was more of a youth academy and Team B news.

Obviously, Ledepp, despite being interim manager of the first team, cannot completely remove the B team.

What's more, he is going to return to Team B at the end of the season, and his focus is more on Team B.

Ledpool briefly sorted it out, and then invited the two to take a seat.

Suke sat with Casillas for a few moments before the office door opened.

"I'm not late, am I?"

A shiny bald head appeared in front of him.

Zidane, dressed in a black suit, walked in.

"Hey! Long time no see! ”

Casillas was the first to stand up and greeted happily.

Su Ke also walked over, and the two simply hugged each other.

'I watched your Champions League games and played really well.' Zidane spoke, turned to look at Suker and smiled; "If you had been in our period, I don't think we would have played that hard."

Suke smiled and didn't speak.

That's a polite remark.

Besides, Real Madrid during Zidane's time, the problem was defense.

Even if Suke were there, there wouldn't be any fundamental change.

"Shall we get started, then?" Zidane pointed to the document on the table.

Zinedine Zidane, who is an adviser to the president at Real Madrid, was more interested in helping Ledepp develop his strategy for the next round of away games against Barcelona.

Ahem!

Ledup coughed dryly, cleared his throat and said:

"So far, the two most effective tactics against Barcelona are counter-attacking and pressing high!"

"And in both tactics, Suke is involved."

After speaking, Rydep looked at Suke, "Which one do you think is more effective?" ”

Suker was straightforward; "High pressing!"

Everyone also nodded.

At this point, Zidane spoke; "High pressing is of course very deterrent, but the problem is defense, if we take intensive defense, we can still resist Barcelona's attack, if it is high pressing, it may be more of a change to the offensive battle, away from the attack, which is not good news."

The implication is that Zidane is not very optimistic about this tactic.

After all, Real Madrid's current defense is not particularly solid, and after joining the high pressing, he is afraid that Real Madrid's players will be forced up, but he will not be able to come back.

The other three also muttered for a moment.

Casillas said: "Just like AC Milan at the beginning, how about limiting Messi with two midfielders, and then focusing on defensive counter-attacks? It feels more secure this way. ”

Suker: "But then the Barcelona midfield can play at will, it's not a situation we want to see, once you play like that, the tempo of the game is secondary, and whether we can press the opponent's half is a question. ”

The crowd began to exchange ideas around the tactical issues of the next game.

However, there were many suggestions, but there was no unanimous idea.

As the interim manager, Ledpool doesn't want to offend anyone, he just cares about watching the show.

From the very beginning, after the opening remarks, this guy directly turned into a mute.

A full hour passed, but there was still no unanimity.

Casillas rubbed his eyebrows.

Zidane's brow furrowed.

Su Ke looked at everyone's expressions and sighed helplessly.

That's the problem of not having a manager in the absolute sense of the word.

Differences of opinion are too serious to be effectively resolved.

"So be it!"

Suke exhaled; "We take our advice, we defend and we have to defend and we have to put in high pressing."

"Split into two halves, the first half was more physical, try to score at this time, use high pressing to constantly press the opponent's defence, if it doesn't work, switch to defense in the second half."

Suke's proposal was a compromise.

At this point, Casillas suddenly said: "What if you concede a goal in the first half? Did we defend in the second half? ”

The crowd fell silent again.

Damn it!

Suker was feeling irritable, so the players had to make the tactical development themselves.

It's really bad at this stage.

"I support Suke's proposal." Zidane suddenly spoke up.

'It's the best way to agree at the moment, the game itself is not good for us, away is one thing, the squad and the form is the other.

Su Ke nodded slightly.

To put it bluntly, the victory in the last round was due to a combination of reasons.

Suker's restraint on Busquets.

Messi's poor performance after his top.

There are also many reasons for Real Madrid's morale, form and so on.

In addition, Barcelona did not have Xavi in midfield at that time.

But this time, Xavi has returned and will inevitably be in the middle of this game.

At the same time, Messi will most likely not make this kind of problem again by teaching him a lesson.

The only thing that can still be carried out is Suker's single point of restraint on Busquets.

So, that's why Suker insists on pressing high.

Once the tug-of-war with Barcelona starts, Real Madrid doesn't know how to die.

You have to be the first to score in the first half or after the opening kick-off, emulating the way Atletico Madrid won, that's the most effective tactic for them.

"Okay, so be it!"

When everyone had chatted about it, Rydepu made a summary.

He said that he would communicate with the coaches and spend the next two days preparing for the game.

At the same time, Barcelona are also preparing for the game.

Pep Guardiola looked at the data sheet in his hand.

These are the stats that Suker has shown in many games in this league.

Needless to say, if you want to beat Real Madrid, you have to block Suker.

But how to block Suke, it's definitely a very difficult thing.

At the very least, so far, there is nothing Guardiola can do.

They couldn't have put too much defensive force into following Suker like other weak brigades.

On the one hand, it doesn't look good.

On the other hand, there is also a question mark over whether it can be restricted.

Therefore, the control of the midfield is particularly important.

Luckily, Xavi is available for this game.

Although Yaya Toure is also very strong, in terms of the adaptability of the lineup system, Xavi is definitely the most suitable.

It can be said that in the Tiki-Taka tactic, the ratio of Xavi + Iniesta is the root of this system.

The midfielder can play with ease, and other positions can make a difference.

Pep Guardiola handed the data to his friend and assistant coach in front of him, Estiat.

Estiat was special in that despite his work in football, he was engaged in 'water polo' as a player.

He is not a footballer by training, but Guardiola believes that this friend has a very keen sense of tactics, and the duo have a number of miraculous results.

Estiat didn't take the data sheet, saying: "Any top player, they don't rely on shriveled data to get a summary, their judgment of the direction of the game and their performance, it's a reflection of innate talent. ”

"I don't think it's possible to limit Suke with this data, and even if you trust the data too much, it will cause more bad things."

Pep Guardiola retrieved the data and put it on the table.

'Real Madrid have Suker, Barcelona have Messi, and we have a better squad to win games even if we don't rely on statistics. Pep Guardiola said.

Estiat: "Do you really think so?" ”

Pep Guardiola looked at his friend.

The latter tract; "Suker and Messi are not the same type of players, I don't know what the future holds, but now Messi is more dependent on the team, if there is no team bonus, his performance will be greatly reduced, on the other hand, Suker"

Estiaat frowned: "He behaved like an ace (ace) in a water polo game!" It's hard to imagine that there are such headaches in football. ”
