Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 1106 Everyone Is Distressed

All the voices after the game were not optimistic about Liverpool, but in the first training session after the game, Martin O'Neill showed everyone his determination-no matter what the result is, Liverpool will perform better at the Bernabeu than at home Stronger fighting spirit and firmer belief.

Even if Liverpool were to be eliminated, they would never accept the death of a wimp.At least you can't be scolded by others: "They gave up the Champions League on purpose!"

Obviously it is possible to enter the semi-finals, why give up on purpose?
Many people will not understand this question. They are not the head coach, and they will not understand the price and hardships that need to be paid to go further in the Champions League.

They just think "Since we are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, why can't we work hard to reach the semi-finals? As long as we reach the semi-finals, we will be content..."

When they actually make it to the semi-finals, they will think again, "Since they are already in the semi-finals, why don't they bite the bullet and make it to the finals?"

When the team really gritted their teeth and insisted on breaking into the Champions League final, their hearts itched again: "Since it's all in the final...fuck it! Now that it's all here! We worked so hard to reach the final Is it for the runner-up!"

Most fans always think this way, which also forces the team to constantly pursue victory.

Once they lose, they will be criticized by the outside world.

These people also complain that football is becoming more and more utilitarian, first ask them if they are willing to accept that their team will never win the championship...

Barcelona's team that insisted on its traditional style of play, in the era when they couldn't win the championship, the pressure on the players and coaches was also very high, and their lovely fans didn't say they understood and supported them.If they get crushed by Real Madrid in the title race, then they will be handkerchiefd by their fans and slammed by the media...

This is the reality. The utilitarianism of football is not due to the tactical thinking of some coaches, nor is it promoted by FIFA or UEFA officials, but the influence of the overall environment.Under the pressure of championships and honors, there is no gain but death.

Liverpool has also been and is under such tremendous pressure.

They were really cornered.

After a day of training, Martin O'Neill returned to his office. He took a nap here, sorted out some materials, and was about to go back.

He rang out what he said to the players this morning. He spoke impassionedly and drooled, and the players responded positively.At that time, Chen Yingxiong and Gerrard successively stood up and expressed their support for the head coach, and they would go all out at the Bernabeu and strive for a victory.

The scene at that time can be regarded as blood-boiling.

But Martin O'Neill was not very happy.Now back in his office, he still has a headache.

Because he himself didn't believe what he said...

Winning at the Bernabeu is easier said than done!

For two full seasons, no team can beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Can his Liverpool do it?

Can his "underdogs", who were chased by Manchester United in the domestic league and lost all their advantages in the European war, do it?
He really didn't know it.

Pin your hopes on Chen Yingxiong?
But the home game has proved that Chen Yingxiong is not always so easy to use when he is in deep siege.

Although he didn't know what to do, Martin O'Neill didn't intend to raise his hands and surrender. Even if he was a trapped beast, he still had to "struggle". Even if he was dying, he still had to "struggle".

He felt that the focus of his work in the future should be to find a way for Chen Yingxiong to break through the layers of Real Madrid.

But how?

let me think about it, uh...

Ok……

……

……

……

Oh shit!Still not sure!

O'Neill scratched his hair vigorously, very distressed.

Standing in the team supermarket, Chen Yingxiong asked the shopping guide: "Do you have the freshest Real Madrid here?"

"Excuse me, sir?" The shopping guide lady is artificial intelligence, but she still can't understand Chen Yingxiong's thinking mode.

"Well, it is... the latest version of the Real Madrid team. Coached by Mourinho, there are Benzema, Higuain, Ronaldo and others... that Real Madrid team." Chen Yingxiong explained.

The shopping guide lady shook her head, and gave Chen Yingxiong an answer that disappointed him: "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the current team."

Chen Yingxiong quit the team supermarket mode in disappointment and returned to the training ground.

He also wanted to buy a current Real Madrid, study the opponent in the dungeon, find the weaknesses, and try repeatedly in the virtual confrontation until he finds the most suitable method... but it is now useless.

Chen Yingxiong's teacher Fan Basten saw Chen Yingxiong sullenly, stepped forward and asked him: "What's the matter, hero?"

"Oh... I've encountered a little trouble..." Chen Yingxiong told Basten and other players with independent intelligence all about his troubles.

But to his disappointment, no one could give him useful ideas.

Come to think of it... None of these people were successful as head coaches.Van Basten's coaching level and achievements are not as good as his two fellow Three Musketeers, not to mention Maradona. Argentina, which is full of geniuses, made him play like that, which is beyond what a capable person can... As for Inzaghi, Juninho, Maldini and others are still organizing the coaching world for him. Although they have all obtained coaching licenses, they have not really become a head coach.

Chen Yingxiong didn't have the mind to train for a while, and now his mind is full of how to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

How can we beat them at the opponent's home court?

Chen Yingxiong has a headache.

It's not just these two people who are troubled by this matter, the pro-Liverpool club media all want to give advice to Martin O'Neill.

But when their editors, authors, commentators, and celebrities began to pick up their pens to prepare for Liverpool.

They just found out that it was really difficult.

Why Real Madrid can trap heroes is because they hoard heavy troops in their penalty area and have very strong tactical discipline. They are very clear about what to do and what not to do, and they will never overstep.

This way, it will be very difficult for you to find their weak points and loopholes.

In the past, you can still think of ways from psychological warfare, such as publishing articles criticizing Real Madrid's conservative tactics, telling Real Madrid fans that their tradition is that offense is gorgeous football, and heresy like Mourinho should be tied to Burn alive at the stake!
This tactic used to work quite well, allowing Real Madrid executives to have some opinions on Mourinho's tactics, and then forcing Mourinho to fight in the way his opponents like.The most classic battle is Mourinho's first season in charge of Real Madrid, the first national derby, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.Before the game, there was news that Real Madrid would use three midfielders to fight against Barcelona's midfielder. As a result, after the news was exposed, it immediately aroused protests from the Madrid media and Real Madrid fans. Not in line with Real Madrid's tradition.

Then Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​also came out to add insult to injury, saying that even if Real Madrid can beat Barcelona, ​​as long as they stick to this pure defense and use brutality to deal with Barcelona's gorgeous football, they will be weak and lose every day Or, it will never be possible to raise their heads in front of the Barcelona people.Even if they win Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid fans will have some regrets in their hearts-when can we fight Barcelona with offense and beat them?
It seems that Cruyff considered issues from the perspective of Real Madrid throughout the article, for the sake of Real Madrid, and clamored for Real Madrid to regain their former dignity and glory.Cruyff also said that he admired the former Real Madrid and so on...

As a result, the Real Madrid people saw: Damn, the arch-rival was even more impressed by our past traditions, which shows how powerful our traditions are!No, Mourinho, you boy can't ruin our tradition like this, if there are no three midfielders, we have to fight against Barcelona!Even in the Nou Camp, the Real Madrid people have never climbed anyone!
In this way, public opinion forced Mourinho to that road. He gave up the prepared three midfielders and turned to face Barcelona.

The whole world knows what happened next.

Real Madrid were thrashed five goals by Barcelona at Camp Nou, the worst defeat of Jose Mourinho's coaching career.

However, through this game, many Real Madrid fans and club chairman Florentino realized that Real Madrid today does not have the strength to fight against Barcelona. If they do so rashly, they will bring shame on themselves.

It's hard to say whether Mourinho was forced to do it or did it on purpose.Anyway, since then, Mourinho has never lost the game because of such a mistake. He has gradually strengthened his control within the team, and the Madrid media no longer criticized Real Madrid for playing conservatively.Later, Mourinho even ruled out the resistance from the top management of the club. Inside Real Madrid, apart from the club chairman Florentino, he was the biggest one.

Today's Real Madrid can play beautifully against weak teams and score many goals.But when encountering a difficult opponent and a critical game, Mourinho will not hesitate to let the team transform into his Inter Milan, park a bus in front of the goal, and finally win the game.

At this time, no one will jump out without understanding and accuse Mourinho's football of being negative, which is not in line with Real Madrid's tradition.

What is Real Madrid's tradition?
It's not offensive, it's not flashy, it's winning, it's champion.

※ ※ ※

At the technical and tactical level, there is no way to deal with the monolithic Real Madrid team. From the perspective of psychological warfare, Chen Yingxiong also proved that Mourinho has enough ability to control the team's thinking, so that they will not be moved by external interference.

How can Liverpool beat the Armada Real Madrid at the Bernabeu?
Many people suffer from insomnia this night...
