I Want to Be the King of Football

In order to better prepare for the game with Real Madrid, Valencia made a special trip the evening before the game, after the team training, chartered a plane, flew directly from Valencia to Madrid, and stayed at a hotel near the Bernabeu.

The team's bus has arrived in Madrid one day ahead of schedule.

This is also what it should mean, after all, this game is related to the title of this season.

As the league leader, Valencia has only a five-point lead. If they lose at the Bernabeu, this advantage will be shortened to two points. For Valencia, who will continue to fight on two fronts, the situation will be more difficult.

After a night of rest in the hotel, the next morning, Su Dong, accompanied by Nuno Cruz and others, went to the hotel's gym for a full set of activation training, just to ensure that he was tonight. status.

After breakfast, the team ushered in the last preparation meeting before the game.

The meeting place is arranged in the hotel's conference room.

Benitez and Yesterdam focused on some considerations for tonight's game, such as how to play if the team conceded the ball first? After conceding two goals, or even conceding three goals, how do you play?

How to play after taking the lead? Was misjudged by the referee, how to play?

All of these preparations are quite meticulous, because as Albelda said, Valencia encountered the referee's very obvious partiality to law enforcement when they visited the Bernabeu in the first four times.

Benitez issued a ban before the game, prohibiting players from discussing the referee, and it was also regarded as a demonstration by the media. The implication is, I don't say anything, I just watch what you do, and the whole world will see it clearly Chu.

For Zidane's red card, Benitez thinks it is not to be happy.

For a team of Real Madrid's level, Zidane suddenly gets a red card, which is not necessarily a bad thing, because it may add more variables to the game out of thin air. Real Madrid's superstars are more capable of controlling these. Variable on the field.

Benitez's first bucket of cold water dampened all the optimistic players in Valencia.

After three days, the players basically calmed down.

Benitez is right, as if now, after Zidane is out, how will Queiroz line up?

Real Madrid has a lot of players on the bench.

Solari, Cambiasso, Portillo, these are good substitute players.

Even putting aside these substitutes, how will Queiroz arrange the positions of Real Madrid's stars on the pitch?

Ronaldo, Raul, Figo, Beckham, Carlos, Guti...

Which of these Real Madrid stars is not the master who gives a little sunshine and shines?

In the past, Zidane had an expectation in Valencia's heart, knowing how Real Madrid would play in general, but now Zidane is absent, although there is one less enemy, but it also brings more variables.

Benitez has a natural dislike of variables and even abhors risk.

I'm thinking about it myself, no matter how Real Madrid changes, Zidane's absence will create a fact, that is, there will be a vacancy in the middle of Real Madrid, unless Queiroz moves Guti forward and replaces Zidane's position, but so As a result, there will be problems with the position of the double midfielder.

After more than half the season, Queiroz finally managed to work out the combination of Beckham and Gaguti, ensuring that the team has an advantage in passing and controlling the ball, and the defense is not bad. Will he break such a combination?

If it breaks, is it to let Cambiasso go up and team up with Beckham as a double midfielder? Or let Pavin come on and put Elgra in midfield?

Look, the advantage of the strong lineup is fully reflected at this time!

I guess, Queiroz will still take the lead in ensuring the integrity of the double midfielder. Zidane's position can be replaced by Solari, because the Argentine players have performed well recently, but this will cause a problem. people.

Ronaldo is at the top, Raul seems to be more flexible, but in fact he is still a striker.

Zidane is not there, who will connect the double midfielder and the double forward in the frontcourt?

You can only go sideways! Benitez made a judgment.

That is to play Carlos Gasolari, the wings of Salgado Gaffigo.

Our strategy needs to be clearer. If it is as I expected, let Solari play and represent Real Madrid to play on the wing, then we will focus more on blocking on the wing, and even allow them to cross. .

When Benitez said this, he drew the line of Real Madrid's two-wing cross on the tactical board.

Ayala and Marchena in the middle should pay attention to controlling their placement. Ronaldo and Raul's headers are basically in front of you, and there is basically no advantage. I believe you can do it.

Ayala and Marchena both nodded.

Especially you, Marchena, the extra actions can be avoided. At the Bernabeu Stadium, our every move may be magnified, and then become the evidence to punish us, understand?

Marchena has never been a stable main force. Pellegrino performed well before, but since Pellegrino fainted, Marchena scored again and was very active, so he gradually gained a firm footing.

But the Spanish native central defender has a problem, that is, he is unstable and has many small moves.

If it is in other games, there may be no problem, but if the referee wants to be honest with you, it is difficult to say.

The double midfielder must closely protect the penalty area and give way to Real Madrid. Benitez looked at the captain and vice-captain.

Both Albelda and Baraja nodded.

As soon as the head coach arranges, they know what they should do.

Benitez did not make arrangements for the attack, perhaps he felt that there was nothing special to explain.

Facing a team like Real Madrid, Valencia's 4231 must be mainly based on shrinking defense and playing defensive counterattacks.

In this case, it is also impractical to make too many demands on the offense.

At the end of the meeting, Benitez also mentioned the referee issue.

This is a common problem in La Liga. Not only Valencia, but almost all other teams will jump out to blame the referee from time to time, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona will blame the referee in many cases.

Speaking of which, it has something to do with the referee's assignment mechanism.

In Spain, the referee selection power is in the hands of the Football Association. They will use a random draw to decide who will officiate which game. The referee committee does not participate in this process.

This may seem very open, fair and transparent, but it actually brings up another problem.

The uncertainty of random drawing can easily lead to a lack of neutrality and objectivity in the selection of the referee.

Referees are also people, where they were born, the education they received since childhood, their family background, which team they like, which team they have had grudges against, and even regional discrimination... There are too many factors. All will result in the inability of the referee to be neutral, objective and impartial when enforcing the law.

Even worse, the Football Association has no punitive measures for the referee's mistakes and misjudgments.

That is to say, even if the referee makes a very serious mistake, he will not be held responsible for it.

This brings up another question, who will restrict the law enforcement power of the referee?

It can be said that this is an old problem that has affected La Liga for many years and has never been solved.

Including Valencia, the most blamed by other La Liga teams is that the Western Super League duo benefits from the referee factor.

This has a lot to do with the fact that they have the most stars, the strongest strength, and the most fans.

For example, in the next round, Valencia faced Barcelona, ​​and the referee was a Madrid man.

Although Madrid people are not necessarily Real Madrid fans, but this is somewhat worrying, isn't it?

Benitez's meaning is very clear, the referee's factors are not within Valencia's control, so try to do your best, reduce unnecessary fouls and small moves, and avoid giving opportunities to opponents.

The players understand this too.

…………

…………

When the Valencia team arrived at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid fans were walking into the stadium one after another.

Seeing Valencia's bus, Real Madrid fans booed one after another, apparently hating Valencia.

Benitez took the lead to get off the bus, and his expression looked very complicated.

As a Madrid native, he has been a Real Madrid fan since he was a child. Even now, he still feels that he is proud of being able to coach Real Madrid in his life, but tonight, he appeared at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid's nemesis.

This situation is really sad and emotional.

When the Valencia players entered the field, the Real Madrid players also entered the field almost at the same time.

Although they are rivals on the court, they can still have a private relationship.

Whether it is the teammates of the Spanish national team, or Sudong and Ronaldo, they still seem to be quite harmonious.

Especially Ronaldo.

How are you preparing? Ronaldo asked with a smile.

pretty good, how about you?

Ronaldo looked at the stands of the stadium, smiled, and said, This is my site!

Your site doesn't necessarily follow you. Su Dong replied with a smile, Besides, your Zidane was absent, but my Zidane came back. What do you think?

Of course what Su Dong said was Aimar.

It is well known that Aimar will start in this game.

Hopefully after the game, you can keep your mouth shut.

The corners of Su Dong's mouth twitched slightly, After the game, I'll invite you to dinner.

Ronaldo, who had just turned to leave, listened, turned around again, and looked deeply at the confident Su Dong, a little confused.

Is this kid really so confident?

Or was he deliberately putting on a pose?

...

Of course, Su Dong's confidence wasn't all fake.

Real Madrid's starting lineup came out, and Benitez guessed nothing wrong.

Queiroz did not dare to risk breaking the combination of the double midfielder and let Solari take Zidane's place.

This basically confirms Benitez's pre-match judgment that Real Madrid will go more on the sidelines.

All Valencia needs to do is to purposefully guide Real Madrid to attack on the wing and completely restrict the middle.

In football games, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to score goals in the middle. Even if all the wings are released to Real Madrid, as long as the middle can be controlled, Real Madrid will still not be able to score.

Of course, this requires the cooperation of the whole team, and no mistakes can be made.
