striker cool brother

On Monday afternoon, Real Madrid players appeared on the training ground one after another, and under the leadership of Pintus, they carried out recovery training.

Just in the morning, the two teams submitted the 18-man squad for this group stage to UEFA.

On this list, Neymar, Mbappe, and Cavani all returned from injury.

This is not good news for Real Madrid.

After learning the news, Zidane held a meeting of the coaching staff in the morning to formulate the tactics and personnel arrangements for the midweek game.

So far, Real Madrid still does not have a fixed lineup, but makes fine-tuning according to the status of the players and the situation of the opponent.

But most of the main force is still relatively fixed.

This time, Zidane set his sights on Isco, who has returned from injury.

In the weekend league, Isco came on as a substitute for Ernesto Valverde. In 15 minutes of game time, he sent 3 threatening passes and performed well.

If Isco can cooperate with Rossi and Benzema on the front line in the midfielder position, Real Madrid may beat their opponents at home and win the first place in the group.

But after Isco's appearance, Bell is bound to sit on the bench, and Real Madrid's offensive speed is lacking.

If the two play at the same time, although they can guarantee strong offensive firepower and frontcourt advancement, the disadvantages of defense will be exposed.

On the opposite side there is another Mbappe who is against the sky, and it is very likely to seize the gap behind Bell.

Zidane knows this, and the opposing coach Tuchel knows it even more.

Therefore, Isco and Bell can only choose one of the two.

After thinking about it, assistant coach Betoni raised his hand and said: "I choose Bell. This is at the Bernabeu, we must attack, and only by defeating the opponent can we secure the first place in the group."

His proposal was approved by the majority.

Zidane said: "You are right, we need goals and a victory. But have you ever thought about how to win?"

The scene fell into silence.

The three goals in the first round were deeply rooted in their hearts. When Zidane asked, they all hesitated.

Real Madrid wants to attack, and no one can stop it.

And the attack of Paris, they are also difficult to resist.

How to stop Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria from attacking in turn is the key to victory.

Just now, the assistant coach who suggested that Bell start, tentatively said: "Then... replace Vazquez?"

Vazquez, who can go up and down, can ensure the team's offensive and defensive balance.

What's more, in the first round of the game, he also assisted Rossi to score and helped the team get back a goal.

Zidane shook his head and said: "It's too conservative. And if I were Tuchel, I would definitely strengthen the protection of high points. Heading attack is not our strong point."

Even if Ronaldo is in the team, he rarely scores with a header in sports battles.

After thinking for a while, Pintus said, "Then you can replace James, he can pull a wide cross, and he can also cut inside and shoot."

Without waiting for Zidane to speak, Bertoni interjected: "No, he is too slow and takes too long to handle the ball. When we enter the penalty area, the opponent has already settled down."

"Besides, the opponent is ahead in points and will definitely retreat to defend. We have very few chances to counterattack."

Efficient and quick counterattack is the only weapon that Real Madrid can break the opponent.

Bertoni's words have already subtly affected the people around him.

But Zidane was extremely calm, walked to the tactical board, turned his back to everyone in a daze.

The small conference room was suddenly so quiet that even the sound of a thin needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Soon, Zidane drew the midweek Champions League formation on the tactical board.

He closed the pen cap, tapped the whiteboard, and said with a smile, "I think you can try this formation."

In the training session in the afternoon, Isco put on the starting vest and trained.

In the case of double matches a week, in addition to recovery training and individual special training, the team will only have a maximum of 7 group training sessions to ensure that players have enough rest time.

The training session is a match between the starters and the substitutes.

What the substitute players have to do is to simulate the offensive tactics of Paris, so that the starting players can adapt to the rhythm in advance, so that in the official game, if there is a problem, they can adjust themselves in a short time.

This is very important, because it is difficult for the head coach standing on the sidelines to convey complex tactics to every player on the field.

Especially a passing team like Real Madrid is very prone to confusion.

This needs to be simulated in normal training, so that players can absorb it as much as possible and adjust it in time during the game.

The half-day training session gave the Real Madrid players a lot, and they returned to the locker room enthusiastically, singing and taking a shower.

"Ro!"

Isco burst in, startling Rossi.

"Will we have dinner together later?"

Rossi waved his hand, drove him out, and said, "Got it, got it!"

Rosie is afraid of insulting Sko's name, in order to keep his family safe, it's better to drive him out first.

Eating is small, but connecting with feelings is true.

Since Rossi joined, he has quickly integrated into the team in terms of tactical coordination.

But in terms of personal relationships, keep some distance from your teammates.

This is not because Rossi is difficult to get along with, it's just that in the early days of joining, he was still low-key.

As for why Isco took the initiative to find Rossi, it was because the two partners still had some discomfort with each other in the second half of the training session in the afternoon.

Everyone knows that Rossi is now the core of the team's offense. If you want to get the starting lineup, you must have a chemical reaction with him.

This season, due to injuries, Isco is no longer Zidane's preferred starter, which gives him a sense of crisis.

This time, he can start against Paris Saint-Germain, he must seize this opportunity and perform well.

In the afternoon training, he also worked extra hard.

The passing and running cooperation with teammates is still tacit understanding with each other, but it is difficult to find his shadow in the cooperation with Rossi.

After training, Isco and Zidane reported this situation and asked for help.

Zidane smiled instead, and asked Isco to take the initiative to find Rossi, perhaps more clearly than explaining himself.

In the game against Paris, Isco started as a midfielder.

But everyone knows that his pass organization ability is obviously not enough to shoulder the responsibilities of the midfielder.

In the training session, Zidane resumed the previous team's 4-3-1-2 formation, allowing Isco, Rossi and Benzema to flexibly intersperse and threaten opponents.

This is Isco's strength. During the two consecutive Champions League championships of Real Madrid, he was in this position like a fish in water, and he forced Bell to the bench.

But in today's training session, his cooperation with Rossi was never as smooth as other teammates.

This is what he wants to ask.

Although Isco became famous early, he is also a golden boy in Europe.

But in front of Rossi, Mr. Golden Globe, any golden boy is scum.

In fact, Rossi also saw some problems during training, but he didn't speak directly.

"Isco, actually the coach wants you to pay more attention to the game, do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Rossi's words, Isco gave a wicked smile with some embarrassment.

His girlfriend Sarah once mentioned it on a TV show, and she and Isco have sex almost every day.Also very intense.

If things go on like this, I felt my body was hollowed out.

"In the training session in the afternoon, we cooperated less in the second half, not because of the fierce pressing on the opposite side, but because of your decreased concentration."

"Facing a team with a sharp counterattack like Paris, our defensive coverage must be very wide. It not only requires your ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt and penetrate in a small area, but also requires you to interfere with the opponent when defending."

"How long can you last with such a lot of running coverage in midfield?"

Isco, who was a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, forced a smile and said: "I see, no wonder the boss asked me to come to you, you are famous for your self-discipline."

Rossi always felt weird when he heard this.

Self-discipline is self-discipline, how to say it from Isco's mouth, it seems to say that he is not close to women.

Could it be that in Zidane's eyes, he is an ascetic man?
