Chapter 223 In the eyes of Serie A coaches, there is no "invincible"

Real Madrid and Rome, the duel between the two most famous "horses" in Europe met in less noisy surroundings.The focus of this round is the duel between the Premier League double reds and the Milan duo, so the match between the two horses only attracts the attention of the team's own fans and La Liga.

To a certain extent, Rome is similar to Real Madrid's situation. They are both worry-free in the domestic league and are fully preparing for the European arena.The difference is that Real Madrid has basically won the championship in La Liga, while Roma has been pulled ten points by the top Inter Milan. The second is worry-free, and the championship is hopeless.

With the background of Rome, only by focusing on one front can there be hope of winning the championship. In Serie A, Inter Milan has been "invincible in the world and lonely as snow" since Calciopoli. Spalletti is very wise to see the very difference in the league. Focused on the Champions League battlefield.

This time the group grouping is also considered good for Roma. In Group F, he and Manchester United have a tacit understanding and no pressure to qualify together.In the group stage, Roma only lost one game, the away game against Manchester United, but it was only a small loss by one goal.Roma is also the second most profitable team ranked by the gaming company to win the championship. Because of the lack of pressure in the domestic arena, the Red Wolves, who focus on the Champions League, are likely to create club history.

But they met Real Madrid, which was on the rise, so the entire football world only felt sorry for them.They could have gone further, but unfortunately they were unlucky and got the lottery.

Real Madrid's dominance at home and abroad this year surprised all the experts and media.Barcelona and Sevilla, which were inextricably tied with Real Madrid in the league last year, have been far behind, and the Blancos' domestic title defense is basically undisputed.

And in this year's Champions League, the strength shown by several young people has also amazed some celebrities.After entering 08, Kaka's state has declined, but his performance is still outstanding. Although he failed to score a goal, he had four assists.However, it is Sevilla's center Kanoute who ranks first in the assist list. The Malian played the role of a modern center under the arrangement of Juand, and he is omnipotent in scoring and assisting.

At the top of the scorer list is the king of Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has played shocking statistics in Manchester United this year. He and Inter Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic tied for the top spot with five goals.

Of course, it was the two Argentine geniuses of Real Madrid and Barcelona who caught the eyes of fans and celebrities the most. Messi was second only to the top two with four goals.

Gago, on the other hand, made everyone optimistic about his future with such comprehensive data as three goals and three assists. Today's Argentine prince is already a well-deserved engine for Real Madrid.The weakness of Real Madrid in the past was the "waist" injury. Now that they have Gago, a talented midfielder, they have made up for the last shortcoming.Although Ruud van Nistelrooy, a super center, was unfortunately injured before the knockout round, but the birth of Higuain made everyone no longer worry about it. The small smoker who scored five goals in the last three league games is now known as the Second Gago.

The third youngest in South America back then, Gago became the core of Real Madrid due to various reasons. Since then, he has soared into the sky, and gradually became a superstar at the Bernabeu like his predecessor Redondo.And Higuain, who couldn't find his shooting boots last season, suddenly became enlightened after Ruud van Nistelrooy was injured, showing the potential of a top shooter.

Back then, one of these two people earned 2000 million euros and the other 800 million euros.Real Madrid spent such a large price to buy two rookies who have never proven themselves in Europe. Many people suspect that Mijatovic received black money, but no one thinks so now, because the price is worth it.Leaving aside Higuain, Real Madrid would never sell Gago alone even if someone offered 4000 million euros. Such a commander is the darling of every club. The level is also impossible to dig.

Now the entire European giants are envious of Calderon. When Gago was famous in Boca, Real Madrid was not the only one who wanted to buy him.But in the end, because of Redondo, the Argentine prince chose to land at the Bernabeu, and now he has grown into the number one midfielder in La Liga!

"It would be even better if Marcelo could be half as good as Carlos!"

Of the three young players in South America back then, only Marcelo was scolded by the fans every day. Once the blood surged, he could directly dribble the ball to the opponent's penalty area.But after he went up, he couldn't return to the defense as quickly as Carlos. As a result, as long as he played, Real Madrid's left side was the first target of the opponent's attack.

But he is still young, seeing the performance of Gago and Higuain, the fans now have more patience with Marcelo.After all, with Heinze's level, there is absolutely no problem in playing for another two years. Marcelo has enough time to grow and make up for his weaknesses.

In this game, Schuster set up a full-strength offensive lineup. The last round of the league was reserved for this game. If they can play well in the away game, then after returning home, Real Madrid will be able to do a job with ease.

Diarra and Gago's golden partner is unshakable, and Robben, who has returned from injury and performed well, also entered the starting lineup. He will form the two wings of Real Madrid with Robinho.Just talking about this midfield combination can scare a lot of people to death. This time, Gago's position is relatively high. He needs to run back and forth between the two penalty areas to control the team's offense and defense.The striker is naturally a combination of the Real Madrid captain and the South American sharp knife.

On the defensive line, Schuster made adjustments. Pepe's injury forced him to make changes. To be on the safe side, he let Heinze return to the center to partner with Cannavaro, and the vacant left Lu chose Torres, who had a better defense.On such an important occasion, Schuster dared not let Marcelo play.

Before the start of the game, Schuster told Gago that this game allowed him to put his energy into the offense and not the defense.After all, it is an away game, scoring a goal is a victory.

"understand!"

Gago nodded lightly. Diarra was in charge of defense in this game. Although he had doubts about whether Hei Youhard could defend Totti, the number nine and a half, Gago still showed his trust in Diarra. .

In this game, Gago's position is close to that of the front midfielder. He needs to connect the two wings and the frontcourt, while controlling the rhythm in the midfield and looking for flaws.

"Friends in the audience, welcome to watch the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Rome vs. Real Madrid at home. This game is the seventh time in the history of Rome and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. In the previous 7 duels , Real Madrid occupied the absolute peak with 6 wins, 4 draw and 1 loss. Among them, at home in Rome, Real Madrid won 1 games in 3 games. This data has a great psychological advantage for Real Madrid.”

"This time the Blancos took the lead in La Liga to the Olympic Stadium in Rome again. It can be said that the comers were not good. However, in the last round of Serie A, Spalletti used all of his strength on an important occasion against Juventus. Playing off the bench, Roma are at their best and I have a hunch that it will be a tight game."

At the start of the game, Roma kicked off first, and the ball came to Totti's feet after two passes.Prince Roman is the well-deserved core of the team, which cannot be changed by any head coach, not even Capello, who is as tough as Capello.

However, Totti does have the strength of a superstar. Although he is already a veteran, all technical stars in Serie A have one characteristic, that is, the older they get, the more demonic they become. The same is true for Totti. I was able to get the European Golden Boot for the first time in my life.

In this game, Totti was obviously in a good state. Facing Diarra's defense, he evaded the gap with a light spike, and passed the black and hard with a horizontal stroke.Then before Diarra turned around, he stuffed the ball into the penalty area. Mancini Jr. had already inserted in to catch the ball, but Cannavaro blocked the ball with a timely grab.

Although Cannavaro did not show the strength of the captain of the Italian national team in Real Madrid because he was not used to the style of La Liga, but now after returning to Serie A, he feels like a fish in water.He is very familiar with Totti, the national team opponent. The two have played against each other a few times in Serie A. As soon as the Roman prince raised his leg, he knew where to stand.

After stealing the ball, Cannavaro crossed directly to Ramos on the right. Master Shui is a rare defender who is excellent at both offensive and defensive ends.The ability to dribble is also good, driving straight along the wing until De Rossi came to block.

In Ramos' vision, Gago appeared in time, and the ball easily reached the foot of Real Madrid's command tower.The moment Gago received the ball, as if there was a suction force, the entire Roma midfielder wanted him to approach.

Thanks to the modern and well-developed media industry, Gago's outstanding performance in Real Madrid has appeared in the eyes of Spalletti in every detail.For this genius known as "Redondo II", he has doubled his efforts to formulate tactics.Although Serie A has declined, their coaches are undeniably excellent, especially in terms of tactics.

The coaches from Serie A all believe that there are no invincible players or invincible teams in this world.Ronaldo, who was known as the "alien" back then, was abolished after he came to Serie A. Although this method is not very bright: another king of France who is as famous as the "alien"-Zidane is also in Juventus. Can show invincible strength.

Last year, Capello, one of the representatives of Serie A, overthrew the invincible "Dream Team [-]" in La Liga to provide strong evidence for this point of view. Now Spalletti has also formulated a plan for Gago, who is already invincible in La Liga. Tactics to block him.

For this tactic, Spalletti also deliberately watched the video of Real Madrid challenging AC Milan at San Siro last year, no less than ten times.In that game, Gago was basically no threat to Milan led by Maldini and Nesta.If it wasn't for the shocking world wave caused by the possession of God in the end, Ancelotti can say that Gago is a parallel importer.

But even so, Spalletti was inspired and figured out a way to block Gago.
