In less than five minutes, the opponent scored two goals in a row. Any head coach would be panicked.
He walked straight to the sidelines and signaled the team to adopt defensive tactics in an effort to stabilize their position.
But soon, he realized that this was not safe either.
Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars played like crazy tonight.
From Raul to Beckham, from Ronaldo to Zidane, everyone is rushing towards AC Milan like they don’t care about their lives. Coupled with the neat and unified actions of the whole team, the midfielder and frontcourt are facing AC Milan.
Pressing and pressing are very effective.
The slow-paced AC Milan is like a lamb in front of the fast-paced Real Madrid.
Real Madrid adopted active offensive tactics, but gave up their best passing and ball control and mercury-like coordination, playing more concise, faster, and more deadly.
"Oh, he must be using the shadow training method." Mauro Tassotti could tell at a glance.
Real Madrid's unified and unified actions can be described as a complete transformation compared to the previous separate actions.
And Gao Shen's use of superstars is completely different from the past.
To put it simply, during the Galactico era, Real Madrid's superstars emphasized personal abilities, so they used their personal abilities more to create opportunities and goals on the court. Even if it was like Zidane assisting Ronaldo, they were still two superstars.
The cooperation between them even leads to many goals that can only be created if their strength reaches their level.
But now, they are cooperating more, and their personal abilities only allow them to cooperate better.
Excessive emphasis on and reliance on individual abilities makes Real Madrid's frontcourt look like a piece of loose sand. Individual performance can be appropriately suppressed and overall cooperation emphasized so that the stars' personal abilities can better serve the team. This makes Real Madrid's frontcourt more attractive.
cohesion.
The offense is holistic, and the defense is even more holistic.
Ancelotti was not sure whether Gao Shen had used the shadow training method, but he clearly realized that he had underestimated Gao Shen, even though he felt that he had overestimated it enough before the game.
But it turned out that it was still underestimated.
The price of underestimation is that Real Madrid's superstars created two frontcourt scoring opportunities in a row and seized them both.
This is a superstar!
Ancelotti has a headache now. This is the first time he has encountered such a tactical play.
Both Lyon and Inter Milan used frontcourt pressing and pressing, but firstly, they both sacrificed offense. Secondly, their frontcourt pressing and pressing relied more on the players, while Real Madrid relied on the whole team.
When the ball was on Stam's side, Raul, led by him, rushed forward to press for the first time. Ronaldo, Zidane, Gravesson and others also came over immediately to form a defensive fan.
At this time, even Beckham ran to a position near the center, directly vacating the right wing where he was.
Theoretically, as long as someone from AC Milan is on Stam's side and transfers the ball with his big feet, Serginho can quickly counterattack, but the problem is that Real Madrid does not give the ball holder a chance to adjust and pass the ball.
, not to mention, who should we rely on to pass it on?
Gattuso tried once and kicked the ball out of bounds.
Pirlo?
He was pinned down by Zidane.
Without long passes, it is not easy to break Real Madrid's defensive formation by passing the ball. Even if the pass is passed, Real Madrid has already adjusted its defensive formation.
Ancelotti was caught off guard and couldn't come up with any good countermeasures to Real Madrid's style of play.
There is no choice but to continue to guard.

"This style of play is a bit interesting."
In the VIP box at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Honorary President Di Stefano looked at the game. After leading by two goals, Real Madrid still dominated the situation on the field and couldn't help laughing.
In the next box, Chairman Martin's hearty laughter could be heard from time to time, as if he was the one who scored the goal.
This made many people in the box, including Florentino, very disdainful.
Martin just got lucky!
Who would have thought that he would actually dig up the diamond Gao Shen by digging like this?
After listening to Di Stefano's evaluation, Valdano also agreed very much, "It feels like the Sagemilan dynasty back then."
"By effectively controlling local areas, quickly forming a numerical advantage in the local area, and then using the numerical advantage to create opportunities, this style of play is really interesting." Di Stefano praised with a smile.
Many people in the football world present, including Di Stefano, Valdano and Butragueno, are looking at Real Madrid in the stadium at this moment, and they will feel even more deeply, because in the past period of time, Gao Shen has been focusing on defense.
and oppression.
When Sacchi was coaching AC Milan, he started with defense.
In a real sense, Real Madrid's two most aggressive games were in the first half against Atletico Madrid and against Arsenal, but tonight's game was obviously different.
It can be seen that Gao Shen is based on the defensive system of the past period and combined with the results of the previous period, which allowed Real Madrid to play such an aggressive offensive style from the beginning tonight.
"The overall defense, especially the team pressure, is very Italian-style, just like Sacchi's tactics back then. I have seen them using Sacchi's shadow training method before. Now it seems that he has never been conservative."
Butragueno also praised.
His career happened to be against Sacchi's Milan dynasty, and he was very familiar with Sacchi's style of play.
Many people misunderstand that Sacchi's style of play is defensive counterattack, but it is not.
Sacchi's style is more about pressing and controlling the ball, which is why Ancelotti and Rijkaard are so important.
This concept of regional defense, as well as the overall movement of the team to maintain a compact formation, and then control the local area where the ball is located, has two benefits. One is to reduce physical energy consumption, and the other is to understand the positions of teammates and maintain their position when defending.
After establishing the overall formation, immediately launch a counterattack after stealing the ball.
Just like the Milan dynasty trained by Sacchi back then, it seemed to be defensive and counterattacking, but it was actually attacking.
This is also the reason why Gao Shen has been criticized a lot in the past.
After all, he hid it too deeply.
"This little guy is really interesting. He can lead such a team at the age of 25. It's not easy. I'm starting to look forward to it. What will it be like if I let him go and build a team of his own?"
Tifano chuckled.
Valdano also smiled and nodded, looking forward to it as well.
Only Butragueno smiled awkwardly and looked at Florentino. The former chairman of Real Madrid was confused and obviously didn't particularly understand what they were talking about. He looked next door again.
How can Real Madrid President Martin understand this?
Gao Shen will definitely create a team with his own unique style, but it will definitely not be at Real Madrid!
This season, or Real Madrid under the guidance of Gao Shen, is special.
The real Real Madrid has never had the soil to cultivate young people, nor the environment to cultivate a head coach.
Neither Florentino nor Martin can give Gao Shen a relaxed environment to build a team with a unique style.
For many years, Real Madrid has always had only one pursuit.
That's the championship!
style?
It's Real Madrid's style to win championships.
Of course, there has been one more over the years.
Don't play too conservatively.
…………
…………
When AC Milan retreated across the board, Real Madrid was really unable to break through the Rossoneri's goal for a while.
Serginho, Kaladze, Nesta and Stam, the defense composed of these four players is really not to be underestimated.
Especially in the final stage of the first half, Real Madrid's physical energy was obviously exhausted, and some of them began to be unable to hold back.
This is actually a necessity.
Why has Gao Shen been reluctant to take this risk?
It's just because the team's physical fitness can't afford it.
Of course, now that he meets AC Milan, a team that is not much different from Real Madrid, Gao Shen becomes bolder, especially when he sees that Ancelotti was still fighting against Inter Milan in the derby last weekend. Then he
What else are you afraid of?
Real Madrid's physical fitness is poor, but after recharging their energy, they can still do it against AC Milan.
Coupled with the schedule of playing home first and then guest, Gao Shen couldn't hold back any more, and he immediately became a winner as soon as he came up.
In those five minutes, Real Madrid stunned AC Milan.
Then the two teams fell into a stalemate, and until the end of the first half, the score was still 2-0.
Both sides created some opportunities, Real Madrid would have more, but they failed to score again.
Judging from the ball possession rate in the first half, 55 versus 45, Real Madrid was ten percentage points higher.
Gao Shen is very satisfied with this result.
But Ronaldo was not satisfied.
…
When the Brazilian came down from the court panting heavily and came to the sidelines with his teammates in front of Gao Shen to greet them, the Brazilian suddenly stopped in front of Gao Shen and looked directly at Gao Shen with his eyes.
"Please give me a little more time!"
Gao Shen was a little surprised.
The surrounding Real Madrid players were also very surprised and were all stunned.
Ronaldo used the word "please", with a request in his tone, and his eyes seemed to be filled with two words, "please".
Before the game, he made an agreement with Gao Shen that he would give all his strength in the first half and just finish the first half, and let Negredo play in the second half to continue to suppress AC Milan. The team should also adopt more conservative tactics.
Avoid being scored by AC Milan.
An away goal is still very threatening.
Ronaldo stood in front of Gao Shen. Seeing that Gao Shen didn't speak, he took a few deep breaths and said, "I can hold on for a while longer. I want a goal. Please believe me!"
At the end of the sentence, he almost gritted his teeth and was extremely determined.
His voice was trembling a little, and even before the end of the first half, he was already a little overwhelmed, but he still persisted.
The reason is as he said himself, he wants to score a goal.
Real Madrid players were surprised because they rarely heard Ronaldo use such a slightly pleading tone towards others, especially the head coach.
The Brazilian alien has always been the proud son of God, a genius who is held in the palm of everyone's hands and cared for in every possible way.
But now, not only did he submit to Gao Shen, not only did he work hard without complaint, he also made a request.
He just wants a goal!
real!
Just one goal!
Only in this way, when the team can really win the Champions League, he will feel that he has played a part in it.
