Chapter 519 New Skills

Carlo still had no idea about Benfica's all-out defensive tactics.

After returning to Madrid, Carlo locked himself in the office, constantly thinking about Real Madrid's offensive method. He rarely thought about these things because Real Madrid's offense never worried him. With that black-haired boy, almost no team would be able to defend the goal, so Carlo was more concerned about the team's defense.

Scoring more goals than the opponent is the standard for building the Real Madrid team and it is also the team style that Carlo hopes to see.

And now, Benfica has appeared. Almost no chance does not mean no chance. Benfica's defensive style really makes Real Madrid helpless, and the last game has proved this.

There was no goal in 90 minutes, even the black-haired boy who had never missed a goal in the game did not score. This may be related to the team's luck, but it also shows that Benfica has found a tactic to defend Real Madrid, although this tactic also made them lose their offensive ability.

"Do we really have to take a penalty kick?" Thinking of this, Carlo felt even worse.

Undoubtedly, even if it is a penalty kick, Real Madrid's winning rate is still very high, because the team is stronger than Benfica in terms of individual quality and goalkeeper ability, but in this case, the victory or defeat of the two teams really depends on luck.

Carlo knows that this is a challenge to his coaching ability. He must face this challenge in order to demonstrate his strength. If Real Madrid is really forced by Benfica to take a penalty kick, even if Real Madrid qualifies, he will be questioned by fans and the media.

"With so many teams and a black-haired kid who is the best in the world, will they still win by penalty kicks?" This level of coaching should definitely be questioned.

However, all coaches will have a headache when facing the human wave tactics and dense defense. Carlo knows that this is not due to his coaching level, and what he has to do now is to give the team more chances to score goals.

So what should the team do?

The solution Carlo thought of was to strengthen the training of long passes and headers.

Obviously, facing such dense defense, all long shots and cooperation became useless. Only the English-style direct attack from the middle was the most useful. At least the last game has proved that this tactic gave us more opportunities in the second half than in the first half.

So, on the next day at Real Madrid's training ground, several tall players became the focus of training, among which Raul was of course the most prominent. In the next game, he will definitely be the starting player.

As for the long pass training, Beckham is of course the main focus, as this is almost Beckham's specialty.

"It's so depressing, why am I not taller?" Ronaldo and Carlos stood together while watching their teammates training, but Carlos was dissatisfied with his height.

Among the defenders, Carlos is the most offensive, but now the team is in trouble, but what is needed is a center forward, a player who can head the ball well, and he himself has good heading ability, but he is too short. If there is no sudden opportunity, it is really difficult for him to grab the ball in the Benfica penalty area.

"Why doesn't Alan come to training?" At this time, Ronaldo noticed this problem.

Although Wang Li is not tall, previous matches have proved that Wang Li is the best header player. However, he missed today's header training for the team. "Did the coach give him some new task?" Ronaldo asked puzzledly.

"Oh, it seems he went to training ground No. 3 this morning," said Carlos.

"Training ground No. 3?" Ronaldo was stunned and said subconsciously: "It's that small training ground, is there anyone there?" He was referring to the staff. Generally, the training of Real Madrid players requires a lot of staff assistance, such as holding the ball, arranging the ball, finding props and so on.

"Not sure, let's go and take a look?"

"Let's go, I don't know what that kid is doing."

In fact, today's training mainly focused on a few players in the team. Players like Ronaldo and Carlos became completely dispensable decorations. After participating in the recovery training, the two had nothing to do.

Both of them are veterans of the team and are also superstars of Real Madrid. They can participate in the team's training outside of normal training or not. At least Carlo doesn't care about this at all, because as long as they can maintain their form, they will be thankful, there is no possibility of any further improvement.

A few minutes later, when the two arrived at the No. 3 training ground, they stood on the sidelines in amazement.

Of course, Wang Li would not do any long-range shooting or heading training with his teammates. These ordinary trainings really had no effect on him.

After the last game, he found that his skills still needed to be improved. At least Benfica's defense made him helpless. He felt this was an incredible thing.

Think about it, his strength is twice that of an average person. His body shaped by internal strength is incomparable to ordinary people, and his skills are also the best in the world. Even the disadvantage caused by his average height is compensated by his lightness skills, which greatly improves his heading ability. However, this very comprehensive quality is powerless against Benfica's defense, which makes Wang Li feel in his heart that he is not good enough.

He knew very well that there was only one reason for this, and that was that his potential had not been developed.

To put it simply, I don't have a sure-kill skill.

Having superb and comprehensive abilities may be very good, but he is still just an ordinary person. He just improves his overall quality to the peak of ordinary people, so he will still be defended to death. But in fact, he is not an ordinary person.

With Xiao Wuxiang Gong and various other skills, his potential can be said to be 100, but the potential he has developed in football may be only 50 or even less, which is why he was defended.

Now, the reason why he came to training ground No. 3 was that it was relatively quiet here. He wanted to combine the skills he practiced in his previous life with football and develop a killer skill that suits him.

This isn't anything too shocking.

For example, when talking about Zidane, fans will all think of his Marseille turn, but in fact, Zidane's artistic football is very comprehensive, but the Marseille turn can represent Zidane's skills, while David Beckham is Beckham's crescent moon turn. No matter it is a free kick or a pass, when talking about curve balls, everyone can think of Beckham.

When the name "Alan Wang" is mentioned, what do fans think of? -- Powerful long shots, dribbling, headers

Maybe there are many, but in fact there is no consensus among them. That is to say, although Wang Li has comprehensive abilities, he does not have a unique skill. This is like the inheritance of martial arts schools, each school is famous for its unique martial arts.

Therefore, Wang Li wanted to create a unique football of his own.

Of course, his main purpose was to target Benfica's defense, and the secondary goal was to make this kind of football his own trademark. This might have been an idea that came to him on the spur of the moment, but Wang Li thought of his physical fitness that was much better than that of ordinary people, and then thought about being defended in the last game, and he felt bad.

So, at Training Ground No. 3, Wang Li began his creative journey.

Perhaps this creation would be different, because Wang Li has been practicing the martial arts from his previous life, and then using the football skills of this life. Most of these skills are "dream dance steps" that ordinary people cannot do.

When Ronaldo and Carlos came over, they saw this scene. They saw Wang Li constantly doing incredible moves on the training ground. This was simply an extreme performance. Even on the stage, such moves could not be seen.

"Alan, what are you doing?" After a while, when Ronaldo and the other man saw Wang Li sitting cross-legged on the ground in deep thought, they came over.

Wang Li was so immersed in his research that he didn't notice that the two were watching nearby. He turned his head slightly, smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how to score a goal in the next game."

"Um?"

Carlos was stunned. He didn't think these bizarre actions had anything to do with football. "So what did you think of?"

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Li said, "For now, I haven't figured it out yet."

"The coach is having them practice long passes and heading. Aren't you going to join in?"

"That kind of training?"

Wang Li thought about it and said, "That's useless. I still think my training is more effective. By the way, will Benfica play like this in the next game?"

"Perhaps."

Ronaldo thought about it and said, "By the way, what were you doing just now? Is it Chinese Kung Fu?"

Seeing Wang Li nodded, Ronaldo thought for a moment and continued: "Alan, although I don't know what you think, I think if you want to score a goal, you should integrate into the team's tactics. For example, the coach is training headers, and the next game will definitely be a long pass."

Wang Li waved his hand and interrupted Ronaldo. He thought about it and felt that it made sense. His ability was already very strong, even his headers were outstanding. Why should he think of those complicated moves to score goals?

“Perhaps the simplest method is more effective?”

This thought made Wang Li's heart move, and he turned to Ronaldo and said, "Thank you." Then he fell into thought again.

Seeing Wang Li like this, Ronaldo and Carlos looked at each other and quietly walked out of the No. 3 training ground. They didn't want to disturb Wang Li. After all, the team's victory still depended on Wang Li. 'Maybe this magical black-haired boy can think of something?'

They all think that victory is not only what Real Madrid and the fans expect, but they themselves also like championships very much. At the end of their careers, they also want to get a few trophies to add to their memories of their careers.

But at this moment, Wang Li thought of the key point.

"The easiest way? Heading the ball?"

At this time, he thought of his previous experience of hooking and volleying when he was in Chelsea. There were actually no chances in those times, but he used his good physical fitness and some external kung fu to create goals.

In comparison, although his heading is also very strong, in fact, the brain is the most complicated part of the human body. Even he cannot pour a large amount of internal force into the brain. If he does that, he will immediately become an idiot.

Therefore, his heading skills are much worse than his hand and foot skills. After all, he relies heavily on his internal strength.

So why do you have to use your head to hit the ball high in the air?

He had never thought about this problem before. He just followed the standard training and the practices of other players to play his own football. But in fact, this kind of football had a lot of other people's colors, but not his own football colors.

In daily training and team games, he only followed the coach's tactics, but this limited his development.

Now that Wang Li has discovered this problem, he feels that he should change his way of thinking. Perhaps this will have a great impact on his future football and career.

While Real Madrid Club was busy preparing for the next round of the game, Koeman was also doing some ideological work for the players in Benfica Club.

Yes, the whole team was somewhat dissatisfied with their tactics.

Koeman and the coaching staff had anticipated this situation. If they did not do a good job, their morale would likely be affected, and it would become very difficult to maintain a draw at the Bernabeu Stadium.

"Remember, this is our first chance to win the supreme championship since 2000. Is there anyone among you who doesn't want to win the championship?" After gathering the players together, Koeman asked word by word, looking at everyone's expression.

"No!"

The answer is yes, no one doesn't want a championship.

"They are very strong. You may not have realized how strong they are in the last game, but seeing how they beat Barcelona 8:0, do you still have doubts about their offensive ability?"

This point, however, made Benfica players unsure, because in the last game, Real Madrid did not score a goal, which may be related to Benfica's tactics, but it also greatly increased the confidence of Benfica players.

Seeing the expressions of the players, Koeman nodded and continued: "You all want to win the championship, and I want it too. That means I can add another highlight to my coaching career. But why do I want you to defend with all your strength? Don't I want the team to win?"

"After careful analysis and research, I found that if a team plays against them head-on, there is basically no chance of winning. This may have been confirmed by many teams. Chelsea and Arsenal, in the Champions League alone, three giants have fallen under their feet."

"Perhaps we have stepped on the shoulders of a few wealthy families to get to where we are now, but in comparison, they have had almost no obstacles along the way, while we have come through all the dangers."

"Anyway, there is a gap between our strength and Real Madrid. The gap is so big that we have no chance of winning because the opponent has a black-haired kid named No. 21. Think about it, that kid can score three goals per game on average, even in the Champions League. Do you really have the confidence to defend against such a player?"

After this sentence was said, all Benfica players lowered their heads.

In the last game, although they didn't let the black-haired boy score a goal, their defense alone had 0 steals. This situation was really frustrating, so they didn't dare to say that they could defend it.

"Now, there is only one way for us to win - defend!! Until it comes to the penalty shootout!! I hope you guys cheer up, it's not shameful, as long as we win, all the honors belong to us!!"

"Think about the last game. No matter how good they were, they still didn't score a goal. What we need to do is to continue to defend. If we beat Real Madrid, we will have a chance to win the Champions League trophy. The value of each of you will increase greatly, especially the defensive players. What are you waiting for? All we need to do is defend."

"For victory"

Koeman's words were not very inflammatory, but they still made Benfica's players understand a lot. At least they understood the head coach's painstaking efforts.

This situation allowed all the Benfica players to untie their knots, and now they knew what they should do.

"Speaking of which, Coach Koeman's tactics may be the best choice to victory," some players said privately, which greatly increased the confidence of Benfica players.

They feel that as long as they play according to Koeman's instructions, victory is not far away from them.

Therefore, two days before the game, Benfica players were full of confidence in front of the media - "We have only one goal, that is to win, beat them to enter the final, and win the Champions League, this is our idea!" In an interview with the media, Benfica midfielder Manuel Fernandez said with certainty.

"Then why did Benfica defend the last time we played? Didn't you want to win?"

Hearing this question, Fernandez shook his head and said: "That's just a tactic. Just like Mourinho, his team has always been defending, but they always win. Tactics are just tactics. No matter what, victory is the most important thing."

Manuel Fernandez's words gave hope to the Portuguese media, who had been worried about Benfica's tactics. They felt that what Fernandez said made sense, while the media in other countries directly classified Fernandez into the utilitarian football camp. They felt that this idea was an insult to the art of football.

However, this obviously has no effect on the thinking of Benfica players. All they want now is victory, that's all.

After several Benfica players were interviewed by reporters, the media also saw Benfica's confidence. They felt that they should reposition the game. Now Benfica is in high spirits. In the last game, they achieved a good result of 0:0. So who will win this game at the Bernabeu is still unknown! !

Of course, Wang Li didn't care about these. He spent the afternoon of that day practicing a shooting action over and over again.

Yes, he has come up with a shooting action that can replace the header, but this action is probably something that only he can do.
