Midfielder: Van der Vaart, Gago, Mohamed Diarra and Robben.
Forwards: Raul and Van Nistelrooy.
This is a proper 442 formation.
When Gao Shen got this lineup, his first reaction was that Schuster's tactics at home were not conservative.
Sacchi told Gao Shen a long time ago that the three home games in the Champions League group stage are crucial.
This is certainly because Napoli is a rookie in the Champions League, but in fact, it also applies to a wealthy team like Real Madrid. They must win three games at home to ensure that they qualify as the top of the group.
If you fail to win the first place in the group, in the knockout round of the top 16, you will encounter the top team in the other group.
If that time comes, Real Madrid may not be in the top 16 again.
Of course, it is unimaginable that the team cannot make it out of the line.
"It's probably the same as before. Van der Vaart and Robben stepped forward, mainly taking an offensive stance, forming a Dutch offensive triangle with Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Raul was responsible for cruising around Van Nistelrooy," Carlo analyzed.
"Double defensive midfielders are used in the midfield, Gago is responsible for organizing and organizing, and Diarra is responsible for defense."
This is also Real Madrid's main tactic.
Zidane has no objection to Carlo's analysis, and this should be what Schuster thinks.
In other words, this is actually a very traditional, or to put it more frankly, an old-fashioned tactical idea.
"Ruud van Nistelrooy is the center forward. Since Van der Vaart was seriously injured in the Netherlands, he has lost his speed and is not very capable of attacking from the wing. He is more responsible for passing the ball and attacking from the back, so Marcelo should be the main player on the left wing.
So Schuster put Drenthe on the bench."
Drenthe is a Dutch left winger who can play any position on the left wing and is even known as Davis II.
Of course, nowadays the media is quick to give someone the title of second generation, but there are not many real second generation.
For example, Zidane II.
"But this way, there is a problem. Robben is cutting in from the right, and Ramos will definitely have to cut in more. If both sides adopt this style of play, doesn't he worry about the back?
"
"Also, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Van der Vaart, and Robben are not the kind of players who can exert pressure in the frontcourt. There is only one Raul left. Then the problem is that he will let Gago and Diarra press up.
?"
Zidane has a lot of affection for Real Madrid, but now that he is a senior assistant coach, he naturally has to stand in a senior position and consider everything for Naples. He feels that there are serious problems with Schuster's formation.
.
In other words, the hidden dangers are very big.
"If Gago and Diarra press forward, Heinze and Cannavaro will definitely press forward, and that will be a huge problem," Carlo reminded.
The two central defenders are not tall, and Naples let Pelley play the whole game last weekend. It was clear that they wanted Cavani. Then the problem arises. If Naples really wants to make an impact, Heinze and Kana
Can Varro stop Cavani?
"I can't understand." Zidane frowned and shook his head.
Both of them turned to look at Gao Shen.
"There is nothing difficult to understand, because he is still looking at this game with traditional thinking." Gao Shen said with a smile.
The reason Zidane couldn't understand was because he had been with Gao Shen for a while, or in other words, he had been exposed to Gao Shen's tactical ideas as early as a year or two ago, so many of his ideas were consistent with Gao Shen's.
He couldn't understand why Schuster would put together such a lineup.
Doesn't this mean we're back to the top-heavy days of the Galaxy Battleship era, when defense was in shambles?
But if you look at the traditional four-four-two tactical thinking, it's not a big deal. The three lines are just a little more aggressive in attack. But Real Madrid has always been like this at their home court, using offense to suppress their opponents.
Over the years, except when Gao Shen and Capello were coaching, when have you ever seen Real Madrid play defensive counterattack?
"The start is still the same. Try to be stable and don't make rash advances. Let's see what Schuster plans to do first."
Gao Shen is confident that with Naples' strength, as long as Schuster exposes problems at the tactical level, the team will surely catch it.
…………
…………
Goalkeeper: Handanovic.
Defense: Vargas, David Luiz, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner.
Midfielder: Biglia, Thiago Motta and Rakitic.
Forwards: Di Maria, Cavani and Sanchez.
In Real Madrid's home team locker room, Schuster was also studying Napoli's tactics.
Some of it was beyond his expectation.
Last weekend, when he saw that neither Biglia nor Rakitic played, he guessed that Gao Shen would use these two midfielders in this game. But what he didn't expect was that Naples would not play 4-2-3.
One, but kick four three three.
Is this a plan to adopt a three-midfielder tactic?
Hamsik, who has performed well since the start of the season, is not available, and Naples' offensive power will be affected to a certain extent.
"As I expected, they will be more stable after the start!" Schuster grinned.
He knew a long time ago that Gao Shen didn't have the courage at the Bernabeu.
In this stadium, there are only a handful of teams that dare to compete with Real Madrid, but Napoli is definitely not among them.
A new recruit from the Champions League should just play defensive counterattack honestly.
Isn't this Gao Shen's specialty?
Isn’t it also the tactical play that Serie A teams are best at?
"As expected, he is still very afraid of the attacking combination of Van der Vaart, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robben, so he needs to set up three midfielders to protect the ribs to the maximum extent. Then we must take advantage of this to take the lead from the beginning and win
Take the initiative!"
When Schuster said this, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
From Nyon, Switzerland to just now, or even as far back as when he first took charge of Real Madrid, he had no good impression of Gao Shen.
Now, he wants to be at the Bernabeu Stadium, in front of 70,000 to 80,000 Real Madrid fans, to shatter their past beautiful illusions about Gao Shen and let them know that Real Madrid already has the best head coach and does not need Gao Shen.
!
The best way is to defeat Naples in the way that Real Madrid is best at and the way that Real Madrid fans like to see the most.
"After tonight, when Real Madrid fans remember Gao Shen, they will only remember his tragic defeat and his extremely ugly conservatism!" Schuster said through gritted teeth.
…………
…………
Amid overwhelming applause, players from both teams entered the stadium one after another under the leadership of Dutch referee Wink.
Gao Shen followed the team out and still received warm applause and cheers from countless Real Madrid fans at the scene.
More than 70,000 fans in the audience were shouting his name, and even the live broadcast was marveling at Gao Shen's prestige in Real Madrid.
"In 2006, when Real Madrid was in danger of life and death, he led the team to save the fire. It took him more than three months to help Real Madrid come back to life, and repeatedly defeated powerful enemies. He miraculously reversed Barcelona to win the championship in La Liga, and won the Champions League.
Won the championship in an upset and achieved the great feat of double championship!"
"This made him one of the most successful managers in Real Madrid's history, and he was also loved by Real Madrid fans."
But in the mind of Real Madrid coach Schuster, who followed the team out, he definitely didn't think so.
Huh, a hypocrite who only knows how to win people's hearts!
I'll see how you die later!
Schuster had already arranged the team's tactics in the locker room just now.
At this moment, he was full of confidence and hesitation.
After snoring secretly in his heart, Schuster thought for a while and walked to the visiting team's coaching bench.
He saw Zidane sitting in the Naples coaching bench and hated him even more.
Before he was about to take over Real Madrid, he once intended to invite Zidane to be his assistant, but Zidane refused because he had no intention of coaching and did not have a coaching certificate.
Who would have thought that not long after, we heard that Zidane was going to take the coaching certificate, and then we heard that he went to Naples to work as an assistant to Gao Shen.
This is simply a slap in the face to Schuster!
I gave you a chance with good intentions, and wanted to cultivate you, but you turned out to be a good person, so you didn't appreciate it, but you turned around and ran to my nemesis. It's really ungrateful!
But Schuster didn't show anything. He knew Zidane's status in the hearts of Real Madrid fans.
He looked at Gao Shen with a smile as he looked at a dead person, "Welcome to the Bernabeu!"
Gao Shen stretched out his hand indifferently and shook hands with him, not even bothering to say thank you.
Because he could see that this guy's smile was too fake.
"To be honest, you look uglier when you smile than when you cry."
Shuster immediately suppressed his smile, his eyes flashed with a stern look, "I hope you won't cry too hard later."
"Are you so confident?" Gao Shen asked with a sneer.
Schuster snorted twice, "Tonight, you and your team are going to die here!"
After saying that, the German turned around and left in a very pretentious manner.
Gao Shen was puzzled, "Why is he so confident? Does he have some trump card?"
Zidane and Carlo are also worried.
Real Madrid’s lineup and tactics are basically these, what other tricks can they come up with?
"Tell them, after the game starts, pay attention to defense and try to be more stable!"
What Gao Shen is most worried about is this opening.
…………
…………
Facts have also proven that Gao Shen's concerns are justified.
Naples is a new team in the Champions League, and its players have basically no experience in the Champions League. Their opponent is Real Madrid, which has the most experience in the Champions League. It is also at the Bernabeu. Naples played a little cautiously after the start.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, took advantage of their home court and took the initiative from the very beginning, forming a strong offensive firepower against Naples.
Only twenty-four seconds into the game, when Robben was dribbling the ball on the right to face Vargas, he suddenly cut in and made a cross, trying to find Raul, but David Luiz blocked the ball first.
But then Real Madrid organized the attack again and created consecutive corner kick opportunities.
Especially in the seventh minute, when Real Madrid passed the ball back to the midfielder to organize, Diarra passed the ball to the right. Ramos quickly inserted along the right and broke through Vargas.
Crossed the ball into the penalty area.
In the middle of the penalty area, Van Nistelrooy quickly got rid of Bonucci and moved forward. At the front of the small penalty area, he met Ramos' cross and headed the ball towards the goal.
