Chapter 1221 The Level of a Top Tactician

Real Madrid eventually beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at Anfield.

This was a complete victory, and everyone in Anfield saw the disparity between the two teams.

Yang Yang opened the scoring for Real Madrid in this game, and also assisted Suarez to score the second goal, while Suarez received an assist from Toni Kroos and scored twice.

Two former Liverpool players scored three goals, much to the dismay of Reds fans at Anfield.

Through this game, the fans of the Red Army can clearly see that both Yang Yang and Suarez are veritable top stars, and they have also brought them the joy of victory in Anfield Stadium, but it is a pity that it is still difficult for Liverpool to keep them.

From a technical and tactical point of view, while Liverpool under Rodgers emphasized a fast pace, they also had a lot of requirements for ball possession. Especially in the second half, they still organized a lot of offensive opportunities when they were already behind [-] to [-], but they lacked a kick in front of the goal.

On the contrary, Real Madrid has an advantage in overall ball possession rate, pass and control ability, stable performance of players and scoring efficiency. It can be said that it has suppressed Liverpool in all aspects.

So much so that in the post-match press conference, Liverpool coach Rodgers had to admit, "Real Madrid taught us a vivid lesson at Anfield, allowing us to see the gap between ourselves and the world's top teams."

In the UEFA Champions League this season, Liverpool's results were not satisfactory. Although they won Ludogorets in the first round, they lost [-]-[-] away to Basel in the second round.

Judging from the current performance, it is unlikely that Liverpool will win the fourth round as a guest at the Bernabéu. The remaining two rounds against Ludogorets and Basel will determine whether Liverpool can qualify from the group stage.

It can be said that Rogers is also under a lot of pressure.

On the contrary, Real Madrid has ushered in three consecutive victories in the group stage so far, and there is basically no suspense about advancing.

Not only that, after Ancelotti's team suffered a two-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, it has maintained a complete victory so far.

After playing Liverpool, Real Madrid returned to Madrid non-stop, and immediately put into preparations for the ninth round of La Liga.

In the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid sits at the Bernabéu Stadium against Barcelona.

…………

…………

The fun of football often lies in its elusiveness.

It's like Barcelona this season.

This summer, Barcelona suffered heavy losses in the transfer market. First, the introduction of Toni Kroos failed, and then the signing of James Rodriguez failed, and then Courtois was intercepted by Real Madrid. The three major signings were all frustrated.

In the end, Barcelona chose players such as Rakitic and Ter Stegen to replace them.

But on the defensive line, Barcelona first wanted to introduce Chelsea central defender David Luiz, but after the Brazilian central defender made a long-range shot to Paris Saint-Germain, they wanted to introduce Thiago Silva from Paris Saint-Germain.

The defensive signings were frustrated, and Barcelona did not introduce strong support, but lost two players, Puyol and Alexander Song.

At the beginning of the season, after seeing Barcelona's transfer strategy, everyone questioned them without exception, thinking that Barcelona's defense will suffer a rout in the new season.

But what's interesting is that the start of the season completely slapped all doubters in the face.

So far, La Liga has played 22 rounds. Barcelona has [-] wins and [-] draw in [-] games. They scored [-] goals and averaged nearly three goals per game.

Yes, you read that right, so far this season, Barcelona has not conceded a single goal!

This is absolutely eye-popping!
Almost everyone concluded that Barcelona's defense will seriously hinder the team this season, but what happened?
They are currently at the top of La Liga, and they are as many as three points ahead of No.2 Sevilla, and as many as four points ahead of No.3 Real Madrid. More importantly, they have conceded zero goals.

The number of goals scored is far lower than that of Real Madrid, but the number of goals conceded is much better than that of Real Madrid. It is the only team in La Liga that has not conceded a goal so far. It really surprised the entire Spanish football and even European football.

But in the eyes of a professional head coach like Ancelotti, he can extract some key elements from the sea of ​​information about Barcelona, ​​and present them in front of all players at the pre-war preparation meeting.

……

"First of all, I want to say that there will be no suspense in Barcelona's starting lineup."

Ancelotti stretched out his hand and pointed to the tactical blackboard behind him. On it, he and the coaching staff had just written down what he and the coaching staff had predicted. Regarding Barcelona's starting lineup, it was still the standard four-three-three.

The goalkeeper is Bravo, who has performed well recently. The defense line from left to right is Alba, Mathieu, Pique and Alves.

"Judging from the data of playing time this season, Xavi lost his main position in the previous rounds, but returned to the starting lineup after a zero-to-zero draw with Malaga. The reason is that Luis Enrique discovered one thing."

When Ancelotti said this, he paused deliberately, and took a special look at Zidane and Yang Yang, and found that they were all looking at him, feeling somewhat proud in his heart.

"The most important thing about coaching a team is to line up the team. Rotation is very important, because the season is too long, how to rotate? How to play a strong dialogue?"

"Coaching a giant team like Real Madrid and Barcelona is completely different from coaching a middle-lower team, because the giant team wants to hit the championship, and the dialogue between the strong and the strong is often the key battle to determine the championship, because there is a difference of six points between losing and winning, and it takes two games to recover."

"Moreover, the gap between strong teams is actually very small. Even in many cases, the game is often determined based on the players' on-the-spot performance. But it is different against weak teams. The gap in overall strength makes strong teams fully capable of relying on their overall advantages to suppress their opponents."

"So, the most important thing about coaching a big team is to rely on the weak team to polish the team lineup and adjust the team's tactics. This is okay, and the cost of making mistakes is lower. But if it is a dialogue between the strong and the strong, then you must use your best and most stable style of play to restrain the opponent."

When Ancelotti said this, he looked at Zidane and Yang Yang, and found that both of them were thoughtful, and knew that they would listen to it. As for how much they could gain, it depended on their own understanding.

"So, in the Derby of the Century, Harvey will definitely play."

Ancelotti said so much, just want the players to understand why he concluded that Harvey will start.

"But are you all wondering why Harvey was a substitute at the start of the league, and then after the [-]-[-] draw with Malaga, Harvey came back?"

Many players followed Ancelotti's inquiry and nodded to express their doubts.

"The reason is very simple. As I said just now, Luis Enrique wants to replace Xavi with Rakitic. This is the unanimous decision of Barcelona. Xavi is 34 years old. His physical fitness and body have made him unable to support such a high-intensity and fast-paced league, so he can only substitute."

"However, judging from this season, Rakitic did not integrate into Barcelona quickly. Playing Villarreal was a hard battle. Barcelona did not score the only goal until Xavi came off the bench. Later, when playing Malaga, Xavi did not play the whole game. The result was zero to zero. This made Luis Enrique very sure that Rakitic could not replace Xavi for the time being."

Everyone suddenly realized, so Harvey began to return to the starting lineup and began to serve as the team's captain on the field, while Rakitic carried out a proper rotation.

"So, how to play against Barcelona in this game is already very clear."

When Ancelotti said this, basically everyone present already understood.

Harvey's age is doomed that he can no longer persist in such a high-intensity and fast-paced game. If Barcelona lets him start, then Real Madrid only needs to suppress Harvey to create a threat.

Yang Yang sat under the stage, and after listening to Ancelotti's words, he couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.

Almost every time, Ancelotti's tactical preparation will make him very rewarding. The most important thing is that Ancelotti's coaching experience is very rich, and at the same time he has very deep tactical attainments, and the preparation work is done very well. Therefore, he can hit the opponent's vital point every time.

Just like this time, it is undoubtedly not easy to dig out so much important information through various information and spying without knowing anything about Barcelona's tactics before the game, and at the same time express it in such a simple way that can be understood by the players.

But now, after hearing Ancelotti's words, I believe everyone at Real Madrid knows how to play this game.

Then, on the court, no matter how the situation of the game changes, or even concedes a goal at the beginning, Real Madrid players will not panic, because they know how to defeat their opponents, instead of being confused.

This is the coaching level of a top tactician!

And Yang Yang believes that Ancelotti must not only prepare this trick when facing Barcelona, ​​he must also have a killer move hidden.

Don't look at the Italian fat man being friendly, in fact, his stomach is full of bad water.
