Chapter 179 The Tactics of Restraining Real Madrid

"I have always admired LU, but his evaluation of Totti is too lacking in respect!"

"Totti is a legendary superstar in Italy, even the rival players cannot deny his achievements!"

"Maybe this is what Lu is thinking, but he should not express it directly."

When Lu Feng's interview was broadcast, some football celebrities and critics expressed their dissatisfaction.

There are two extremes in the city of Rome. The Lazio fans admire him to the extreme, but the Roma fans quickly regard him as the number one mortal enemy!

"Wolf King" Totti came off the bench in the game on his birthday, but after instigating an attack, he strained his thigh and had to lie on the hospital bed. Only then did the city of Rome not completely turn upside down.

But Lu Feng, who was preparing for the Champions League, received a call from the national team.

Liu Dianqiu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, still had a weak voice:

"We will play the most difficult game of the top 10 on October 9, away to Qatar."

Lu Feng checked the schedule:
"Lazio have a league game on October 10 and I can fly to Qatar right after that."

There was a slight silence on the phone, but there was a coughing sound.

Lu Feng looked at the name of his opponent in the seventh round - Frosinone, and shrugged his shoulders:

"Well, I can ask for leave from the club for this league game. After I finish playing the Champions League, I can arrive in Qatar on October 10. How about it?"

Although Lu Feng does not think that Qatar can defeat the Chinese team he leads, but considering the issue of unity, he is willing to make a little concession, not to mention that Frosinone is just a weak team, even if it is handed over to his teammates, it will not matter. question.

The coughing on the phone stopped, but the voice became weaker:
"Xiao Lu, look, in order to prepare for this game, the Chinese Super League has been suspended for two weeks. We will go to Dubai tomorrow for a training camp. We will live in a five-star hotel and have a special Chinese chef for our meals. There is absolutely no guarantee. Question, look... can you catch up with this time?"

Now Lu Feng was silent.

Although the other party was very polite, there was actually only one core problem:
Can you not play the Champions League and directly participate in the training camp?
"Leader Liu, I heard that Pei Lan has a bad reputation in China recently?"

Liu Dianqiu obviously didn't expect that after Lu Feng spoke again, he actually mentioned another question.

He coughed dryly:
"There are some unpleasant things."

Lu Feng smiled:
"That can make him refuse to recruit me! Just like Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Feng Xiaoting, and Huang Bowen."

The main players of these national teams were all excluded from the squad in this battle, which is also the focus of controversy.

"...This is different." Liu Dianqiu's reason is very simple, "Only you are indispensable to this national team."

For this reason, Lu Feng had nothing to say.

But he still has no plans to change his mind:
"Leader Liu, I understand how much you attach importance to this game, but...it's really unnecessary.

To put it bluntly, even if I let other teammates train with me for three years, can they really keep up with my level?
Instead of wasting my time, let them practice crosses from the wide for a few days..."

Liu Dianqiu was silent again:

"...Well, I wish you the best for the Champions League."

Lu Feng smiled:

"Take care of yourself, Team Leader Liu."

Just 10 minutes later, he received a message:
"You have purchased a flight from Rome to Dubai on October 10st, boarding time..."

Well, the efficiency is still quite high!
-
Perhaps in order to avoid the interference of the media and keep the players in the best condition, Pioli directly pulled the whole team to Norcia, a mountain town 180 kilometers northeast of Rome, for closed training in the past two days.

In the romantic and lazy Italy, closed training can almost be equated with a "concentration camp". Players cannot meet their wives and girlfriends, and can only vent all their male hormones on the ball.

Pioli is even more focused on his work, leading the coaching team to study videos and adjust tactics day and night, and then instill them in the players in training sessions.

The tactics they summed up are actually very simple. There are three main ones:

First, restrict midfield possession;
Second, restrict Ronaldo's shots;
Third, in the last 5 minutes, Ramos' header was restricted.

Looking at Real Madrid's games in recent years, as long as the team achieves two of them, at least they can keep the tie!

But Lu Feng's tactics are simpler:
If you want to win, you must score at least one more goal than Real Madrid!
-
On September 9th, Lu Feng followed Pioli and left the mountains, entered the urban area, and went to attend the pre-match press conference.

Looking at the flags and slogans welcoming Real Madrid on the main road of the city, Lu Feng said in broken Italian:
"Tomorrow night, at least half of the people in Rome will become Real Madrid fans, right?"

Pioli froze for a moment, then laughed:

"What you said is not wrong at all!"

Lazio's rival in the same city, Rome, has long been impatient to provide its training base to Real Madrid, although...their dilapidated base is not worthy of the royal aristocratic temperament.
-
After entering the press room, Lu Feng saw two familiar faces: Benitez and Ronaldo.

Benitez first accepted questions from the media, and his answer seemed a bit flat:
"We are suffering from a wave of injuries. Unfortunately, Pepe, Bale, Ronaldo, Danilo, Ramos and Hersey are all unable to play. I have to temporarily transfer two young people from the reserve team. "

Of course I am very familiar with Lazio, because last season I led Naples to play against them, one win and one loss. Strong, they have a young talented striker, his state is very hot recently, I believe this is definitely a fierce battle. "

"Cristiano hasn't scored in three games? I don't worry about it, he's a super player and he's going to score again soon. Also, we have Karim Benzema, who's also a top striker. "

Ronaldo focused on answering questions about his opponents:

"Of course I know LU, he had a great success at Sporting Lisbon last season, and as a youth player at Sporting Lisbon, I am very grateful for everything he has done for the team, but tomorrow we will be against each other."

"His speed is very fast, he is good at breaking through, his jumping ability and header are also very good, very similar to when I was young, the only exception is... I may be taller than him, haha, I hope my teammates can find the limit tomorrow his way."

"I'm only 1 goal away from becoming the top scorer in the history of Real Madrid? Then I look forward to breaking this record tomorrow..."

When the microphone was turned to Lazio, Pioli's answer was still quite satisfactory and did not excite the media:

"Real Madrid is an out-and-out super team. Even though many main players are absent due to injuries, their bench depth is still enviable. Ronaldo is one of the best players in football history..."

After he finished "one", the corner of Ronaldo's mouth trembled slightly, and he quickly regained his composure.

In contrast, Lu Feng's evaluation of Ronaldo obviously made him more comfortable:
"I played in Sporting Lisbon for half a season, and the whole of Portugal admired him very much. He has scored 499 official goals in his entire career, and he is the top scorer in the Champions League, averaging more than 1 goal per game. To limit such an opponent, it is very difficult for us to do it even if we try our best."

Then Lu Feng spread his hands:
"Since it is difficult to limit him, we can only score more goals. I am looking forward to the match against Mr. Ronaldo tomorrow!"

Ronaldo, who was sitting under the stage, raised his eyebrows suddenly.

The camera, which had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately locked on his expression!

Ronaldo laughed silently:

Lao Tzu's opponent has always been that Argentine!
Although you are not tall, but... your surname is not Mei!
