Chapter 499 Situation, Confidence (Third update, please vote)
"Alan Wang scored the first goal for Real Madrid. He passed five players in a row at the Bernabeu Stadium!!"
"...His performance deserves to be the world's number one star!!"
In the far east, on an island called Wokou by the people of the ancient oriental country, many football fans there were also watching this Spanish derby.
In a judo hall in Tokyo, the capital of this country, a short middle-aged man in a refined white samurai uniform was kneeling at a table. Facing him, there was another middle-aged man sitting opposite him. This middle-aged man looked a little fierce, with a face full of tendons. He was also dressed in a samurai outfit, and his bulging muscles were even revealed in the loose samurai uniform.
This guy does look strong!!
At this time, both of them were watching the football match on TV.
Perhaps due to the signal problem, Wang Li's goal had just been broadcast on TV, and the two watched the entire process without blinking.
Listening to the Japanese commentary on TV and the overwhelming praise, the two did not show any strange expressions. They stared at the TV screen for a while, and then the tough-looking middle-aged man raised his head, smiled at the short man opposite him, and said, "Mr. Ono, the extraordinary successor of Chinese Kung Fu you mentioned is this Real Madrid football star Allen Wang?"
The middle-aged man called Ono-kun nodded and said, "Hai! Mr. Takemura, it's him. I lost to him in a competition in London last year. ... I lost with all my heart."
Mr. Takemura continued to ask with interest: "I heard that you couldn't withstand the kick?"
Hearing this, Ono-kun's face showed a hint of displeasure. He frowned slightly, but after a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Takemura, he is very powerful."
After listening to this, Mr. Takemura took a sip of the tea on the table, played with the wine glass and stared at the TV screen for a while, then turned to look at Ono and said, "...Then let me try the power of Chinese Kung Fu."
However, the expression on his face could not hide the slight disdain he felt for Ono.
Ono saw this, but he still endured it.
If Wang Li were here, he would be able to recognize that this so-called 'Ono-kun' was none other than Saburo Ono who went to Chelsea to be a judo coach a year ago.
Wang Li was not aware of what happened in Tokyo. He was currently celebrating the goal with Real Madrid players.
At this time, the game had only been going on for more than 10 minutes, and the goal had made the situation very favorable for Real Madrid, and the Real Madrid players were even more convinced of Wang Li. Although this ball had nothing to do with them, it had to be said that without Real Madrid's massive attack, Wang Li would not have been able to perform like this.
Real Madrid's massive attack was also led by Wang Li.
At the beginning, Real Madrid players wanted to conservatively test Barcelona's strength, but Wang Li yelled at them to attack, and they obeyed the command on the field, so now the team is leading.
This situation made his teammates very convinced of Wang Li and they all congratulated him on his attack.
They hugged each other, with smiles on their faces.
Compared to the joy of Real Madrid players on the field, Barcelona coach Rijkaard frowned off the field. The current situation is obviously unfavorable to Barcelona.
Real Madrid scored a goal, but it didn't make Rijkaard frown. Barcelona's situation was what worried him the most. Since the start of the game, Barcelona has been under pressure, and rarely took the initiative to attack, but was more defensive.
This style of play was indeed beyond the expectations of the fans.
As the head coach, Rijkaard certainly knew why. At this time, he realized that it was a tactical mistake on his part.
Before the game started, Rijkaard was troubled by the defense against Wang Li, but time did not allow him to think too much, because Barcelona's schedule was equally tight before that. Two days after the European quarter-finals, they faced the Spanish derby. Except that their opponent was weaker than Real Madrid, their schedule was more tight than Real Madrid.
However, Rijkaard had no idea about Wang Li's defensive method.
Almost all teams had no good solution for this before, but in the match between Chelsea and Real Madrid, Mourinho's tactics were successful. The black-haired boy only had one pass and one shot in the game. Compared with his previous data, this shows the success of the tactics.
Although the performance of one pass and one shot still made this black-haired boy the best player of the game, such a performance made Rijkaard see the hope of victory.
If this black-haired boy scores three goals or more by himself, it will be almost impossible for Barcelona to score more goals than Real Madrid. If he only passes one goal and shoots one, it is not surprising for Barcelona to score three goals. Then as long as they score more goals than Real Madrid, Barcelona will win in the end.
Therefore, before the game, Rijkaard borrowed Mourinho's defensive style and asked Deco to mark Wang Li throughout the game, while other defenders also had to pay attention to backup defense at any time and pay attention to their positioning to cut off Wang Li's cooperation with his teammates.
There is nothing wrong with this style of play, but the mistake is that Rijkaard assigned defensive tasks to almost every player in Barcelona. As a result, their offense will inevitably be much weaker.
Originally, Rijkaard wanted to play a head-on attack against Real Madrid, but after giving this instruction, all the Barcelona players hesitated to move forward, and the situation on the field turned into a defensive counterattack. Barcelona's style of play was almost the same as Chelsea's.
Seeing this situation, Rijkaard knew he had made a mistake, but he did not make any adjustments because nothing happened on the field.
Defensive counterattack? ?
Or maybe this will be Barcelona's hope of victory!
He thought so at first, but what he didn't expect was that Barcelona's defense had little effect on Wang Li, and Barcelona's offensive style was completely different from Chelsea's. Their quick counterattacks posed little threat to Real Madrid.
The biggest blow to Rijkaard was that the defense he had carefully planned seemed to have no effect at all.
In this game, Carlo arranged Wang Li in the position of defensive midfielder.
This position is the core of the team, and Wang Li gets the ball in the midfield most of the time, so it is almost impossible to intercept Wang Li's ball.
So, when Wang Li attacked the frontcourt, Barcelona could only use siege to prevent him from continuing to perform.
However, Barcelona's siege was easily broken by Wang Li, and the three main defenders failed to grab the ball. This scene made Rijkaard feel very helpless, and he now fully understood the reason.
Barcelona is not Chelsea, how can they forcefully copy their tactics?
Perhaps this is the difference between practical coaches and academic coaches. At least in terms of tactical deployment, practical coaches do not have any advantages. They always have some players' ideas rather than a pure overall view.
Now, Real Madrid took the lead, and Rijkaard certainly understood that if this continued Barcelona would lose, so before the game started, he walked to the sidelines, called the team captain Puyol, and asked him to tell the other players to return to Barcelona's usual style of play.
At this moment, he knew that his tactics had completely failed.
Now, Rijkaard can only pray that the players can perform well and score more goals than Real Madrid.
Facts have proved that Barcelona's offensive ability is very good. The Spanish media's evaluation of them as the world's best offensive players is not an exaggeration.
At the beginning of the game, Wang Li's words made all the Barcelona players hold back their anger, but when they really got on the pitch, they remembered the coach's instructions and were a little timid when playing football, which made them very depressed.
And now, the head coach is telling them: "Let's attack!!"
Therefore, the resentment towards Wang Li and the frustration accumulated at the beginning of the game were once burst out by these Barcelona players! !
After the game resumed, the situation on the field was reversed.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid pressed Barcelona so hard that they could only stay in their own half, constantly filling in the gaps and defending. Now Barcelona opened up their formation and launched a large-scale attack, which made the Real Madrid players who were not mentally prepared a little panicked for a while, which resulted in Real Madrid's several counterattacks being blocked due to mistakes.
Fortunately, Barcelona's luck was not very good during this period, and Wang Li also came back to defend, which saved Real Madrid's goal.
After withstanding three consecutive waves of Barcelona's attacks, Real Madrid's backcourt finally stabilized.
At this time, Real Madrid players could clearly feel the difference between Barcelona's style of play and that at the beginning of the game. Each of them was more active in the attack, and the two wingers were not afraid of "running" too far forward, but instead kept running towards the bottom line. This kind of attack put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid.
However, Real Madrid players were not too surprised by this. If Barcelona had maintained the state at the beginning, they would have been surprised. You know, this is the Spanish derby. Even if Barcelona players are not in good shape, they must dare to fight and fight! !
Most Real Madrid players are very familiar with Barcelona's attack. This team seems to be Real Madrid's destined opponent. No matter which coach is in office at Real Madrid, studying Barcelona is a very important matter.
And now, Real Madrid has taken the lead.
After stabilizing their mentality, although Barcelona's offense was still strong, Real Madrid players did not feel that the team would lose, not only because this was an important derby and the game was played at the Bernabeu, but more importantly, they were no longer the "weak" team in the first half of the season.
After Luxemburgo's departure and Wang Li's contribution, Real Madrid has been completely transformed!!!
Facing Barcelona, they have enough confidence to win.
