Chapter 176

On May 5, Madrid, Spain, Real Madrid's home stadium, the Bernabéu Stadium.

At this time the visiting team locker room.

Guardiola is pacing in front of the tactical board.

And Amazon's cameras faithfully recorded all of this.

"We are still 433 this time, but there is one difference, that is, Wang, you play center forward this time."

Wang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but in the last semi-final of the Champions League, he had already played as a center forward in the second half of the game.So this time he played center, he just accepted it after a moment of stunned.

"Sterling on the left, Bernardo Silva on the right, Gundogan, Fernandinho and De Bruyne in the midfield, Delph and Laporte in the back. , Kompany and Walker, with Ederson in goal."

At this moment, Sa Ne, who was sitting in the corner, had already made up his mind.

If this situation does not allow me to play, then there is really no need to stay.

And Guardiola didn't seem to notice, he continued to talk.

"We now have a high point and a fulcrum in the frontcourt. In this way, our offensive tactics can be enriched. Not only can we use our feet, pass tactics, but also respond better when setting the ball. Wang Yi's speed Soon, he will be at the forefront. When we have a counterattack, we can find him first, and the cross can be more targeted. Since Wang Yi is the center forward of this game, set kicks and corner kicks can be used Look for Wang Yi more. Even if he doesn’t grab or hit the top, we can still go for the second point. The most important thing is that in the game, during sports battles, we can try the tactics of crossing from the side. You can try it on your feet or on your head."

Wang Yi looked at Guardiola in surprise, and had to say that Guardiola had high center forwards before at Bayern. When he was in Manchester City or Barcelona, ​​Guardiola was always a high center forward in the eyes of the outside world. People who have a cold, especially his grievances with Ibrahimovic.So many people have labeled Guardiola as disdainful of the tactic of playing wide crosses.

Crossing from the side is a means, and it is also because Manchester City does not have a high center forward, so only when the corner kick is set, the central defender participates in the offense and the ball will be crossed. At other times, more crosses from the side are found. underfoot.

But this time they even called the name and said that they could find the head.

It can also be seen that Guardiola is still subdued in the face of reality.

Guardiola is still talking here, and in the other locker room, the home team locker room of the Bernabeu, Zidane has his hands in his pockets and is very chic in the middle of the locker room, just looking domineering.

"We scored two away goals in the Etihad in the first round, but we must not underestimate our opponents. Wang Yi was suspended for the last league game, so he has enough rest, and we are in order to compete. League champions, so many of our main players played the whole game in the last league game. In this regard, we may be a little bit disadvantaged, after all, they have already won the league championship. But these are only insignificant, and we Real Madrid will always only Look at ourselves, we are leading in the first leg, we already have 2 away goals in hand, we don't need to be so anxious, they are [-] goals behind, they must be anxious to score in the first half, especially in the last game In the second half of the game, they let Wang Yi play as a center forward, and they seldom hit high balls. This may be Guardiola's arrangement, but this time, if Wang Yi plays as a center forward again, we have to guard against the wingers. I made a high pass and lost the last game. Maybe Guardiola will change his mind in this game. So the starting lineup for this game is—”

Zidane walked to the tactical board.

"C Ronaldo on the left in the frontcourt, Benzema in the center, Asensio in the right, the referee is so sad Modric, Kovacic and Kroos, Kovacic today you play as a midfielder, Marcelo in the backcourt , Varane, Ramos and Vazquez. Lucas, you also played full-back in the last league game. Today is the semi-final of the Champions League. Do you have any questions?"

As a staunch Madridista, Vazquez already felt very fortunate to be able to occupy a position in the highly competitive frontcourt before, but this season he has developed a new position at right back. For him, staying in Real Madrid He is very satisfied playing the game, so of course there is no problem.

"No problem, boss!"

"That's good, and Mateo, today you play as a midfielder, but I don't ask you to stand in the backcourt to defend all the time. You have to use your advancing ability. When you advance and dribble, just find the right opportunity Pass the ball, at this time there will be Kroos and Modric in the backcourt to help you watch the defense. Remember, the ball must be released quickly after advancing.”

Kovacic nodded. It can be said that his biggest feature is his ability to advance in the middle, which is very rare in today's football, but the selection of passes after the advance is always numb, which makes many fans wonder. He has been criticized.

To be honest, Kovacic really didn't expect to be able to start today's Champions League semi-finals, because although Casemiro has just recovered from injury, he knows best how important the midfielder is in the ceremony. In the field sequence, the ceremonial midfielder occupies the starting lineup, and Isco is below them. Kovacic understands that he is only the second substitute, the fifth sequence of the midfielder.

But today Zidane did not choose Isco or the injured Casemiro but chose himself. Kovacic knew that Zidane definitely valued his ability to advance. For assists and shots, Kovacic is definitely not as good as Casemiro. Kovacic knows that he is not as good as Isco when it comes to possession and dribbling, but Kovacic dares to talk about the ability to dribble the ball in the middle. Saying that he is stronger than these two is also a very important ability for him to gain a foothold in Real Madrid.

And today this ability will appear in the semi-finals of the Champions League, how can this make him not excited.

After explaining the starting lineup, the start of the game is actually very close.

But Zidane was still a little nervous, mainly because of the right back, Carvajal was injured, and Nacho's performance at the right back was not perfect, so Zidane thought of Vazquez before, Let him play the full-back, so that the speed is guaranteed first. As for the defense, Vazquez also actively participated in the defense when he played the full-back before, so Zidane was going to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the effect of the test was not bad. , which made Zidane very satisfied.

However, in this game, two players who were not in the main lineup were selected to start. Zidane was really a little nervous, but Zidane strengthened his heart, moved his body, and walked to the stadium first.
