Chapter 513 Say it for the last time, Rossi is the core

As soon as the game was over, Zidane did not go home immediately, but called the coaching team for an emergency meeting.

In the game against Manchester City, Real Madrid faced black for 7 minutes in the second half and almost lost their dignity at the Bernabeu.

Fortunately, the Real Madrid players used a free kick to cooperate with the tactics, and Rossi equalized the score.

At critical moments, you have to rely on him.

But we can't rely on him all the time!
Zida knows in his heart that Rossi is not omnipotent and can save the team in distress many times.

You must face up to your own problems.

Zidane let everyone speak their minds after repeatedly watching clips drawn from the game.

Physical fitness coach Pintus was the first to raise his hand and said, "Sir, although our players returned from injury before the game, judging from the game state, they haven't reached the best level yet."

"Luka and Gareth are just average."

"Next, I will focus on the training of the players after recovery to improve their state."

There is only a short two-week break during the winter break, followed by two Western Super Cup games. The tight schedule makes the players' state fluctuate all the time, and the team's trend does not appear to be stable enough.

With his rich experience and ability to control the locker room, Zidane can always learn lessons in time to help the team out of trouble.

However, after the devil's schedule in February exhausted the short-term energy accumulated, the disadvantages were finally exposed in the match against Manchester City.

Zidane has to admit that the team is currently in a low period.

"This issue must be taken seriously, our situation is very dangerous!"

Real Madrid's next two games are related to the league championship and the Champions League championship, and it is also the key to whether Zidane can continue to coach next season.

After analyzing the players' physical fitness and status issues, Real Madrid's coaching team focused on the game video.

Real Madrid's backwardness stemmed from the first substitution adjustment in the second half.

Zidane's original intention was to strengthen the depth and speed of the counterattack, but Bell couldn't get support at all on the wing. It might as well be able to use his personal ability to disrupt Manchester City's defense when Vinicius was on the court.

The key point pointed out by assistant coach Betoni is Carvajal.

In the first half, Jesus kept moving to the wing to pull, consuming Carvajal's energy.

After Bell played, Manchester City even compressed the space in the low defense, leaving Bell with no vertical acceleration space.

These deployments were all made by Guardiola in order to limit Real Madrid's offense on the wing.

Moreover, Bertoni also pointed out that Manchester City's defensive high-position press and offensive pass-guiding seem a bit conservative.

But they dared to pass the threatening ball in the counterattack, and they did not hesitate to invest in troops. This is the reason why they can continue to create opportunities after giving up possession.

In the conference room, everyone expressed their views on the game. After integrating everyone's opinions, we are now waiting for Zidane's summary.

Zidane repeatedly watched the video from the time Bell played to conceding the goal, and said two words lightly.

Consumption.

"Guardiola's tactics were consuming us from the very beginning."

"Before conceding a goal, we have a good defensive coverage rate, but players often appear to surround but not grab. This reflects that the players consume too much and rely on the last line of defense."

The defense is not active, this is the team's most serious problem.

Defense wins championships, this sentence is a wise saying in any competitive sport.

Seeing his colleagues nodding in approval, Zidane continued: "The problem has been found, and we need to find out the reason."

"I don't know if you have noticed, but the opponent has been targeting our pass-and-run tactics."

Zidane quickly cuts out a few screenshots, explaining in detail with a green laser pointer.

"Manchester City's key restriction object is our midfielder position."

"In order to resolve the pressure, the other two midfielders had to drop back."

"In the first 70 minutes, we relied on passing and running to gain a lot of possession, but there were very few opportunities."

"Although Ronaldo gave us an early lead, Manchester City's conservativeness then withstood our attack."

Rossi and Benzema are skilled in cooperation. When one retreats to respond, the other must be at the forefront, oppressing and pulling the defense.

When the two are attracting most of the opponent's defense, Real Madrid's winger has an excellent opportunity.

With the help of the two, Vinicius has repeatedly created threats to Manchester City's defense.

It was also after Vinicius came off the field that Real Madrid's offense suddenly misfired, which exposed problems on the defensive end.

Affected by age and injuries, Bell's state has fluctuated greatly. The rise of Vinicius has quietly occupied the main position.

In many cases, Real Madrid will replace Bell when Vinicius cannot threaten the opponent's goal.

Real Madrid's coaching staff has already regarded Vinicius as the core training for the future.

Manchester City uses this kind of targeted oppression defense to consume the physical energy of Real Madrid midfielders.

After Kroos left the field, Real Madrid lacked left and right players, which made Bell almost invisible after playing.

This is the crux of Real Madrid's game.

Many people on the coaching staff had an idea at this time, which is to help Vinicius upright.

Not only to replace Bell's starting position, but also to replace Rossi's core position in the future.

Vinicius, who is under 20 years old, speed and dribbling are his advantages.

Different from Samba's elegant dribbling, his style is simple and practical, direct and rough.

Real Madrid executives have always believed that Vinicius has a promising future and will become the next Ronaldo.

Had Zidane not replaced him, the game would not have turned out like this.

"Sir, why don't we make him the core of the team?"

The proposal of a young teaching assistant has won the approval of many people.

Talent visible to the naked eye, amazing explosive speed, he is better than Rossi at the same age.

Zidane suddenly stopped smiling, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly.

"Niang, is this the answer you gave after taking the coaching certification test?"

"Do you know what is the core of the team?"

The young Niang Das, suppressed by Zidane's aura, was speechless for a long time.

"Zinedine, don't scare the young people, he also made a suggestion." Assistant coach Benito made a relief.

Zidane obviously did not ignore this issue so easily, because he was sure that many people present thought so.

"Let me emphasize again that the team is currently centered on Ronaldo, and all tactics must revolve around him."

"Vinicius, he will be the offensive hotspot, but he will never be the core of the offense."

"The two are different, are you clear?"

Zidane warned everyone in an irreversible tone.

Niang Das doesn't understand that Rossi is very strong, but Vinicius' potential is huge, and he can take on the role of the core of the team.

And he didn't immediately remove Rossi's core position, he just wanted Vinicius to have more offensive resources.

But Zidane told everyone with a firm tone.

Don't even think about replacing Rossi's core position!
