Real Madrid defeated Porto 3-1, while Manchester City defeated Dortmund 2-0 at home.
Both games in the Group of Death attracted intense attention from media and fans around the world.
Needless to say about Real Madrid, Ronaldo's two goals and Yin Guayin's goal won Real Madrid a lot of applause.
Manchester City relied on Yaya Toure's goal in the first half and Suarez's goal in the second half to seal the victory. They defeated the German Hornets 2-0. Klopp's team did not win at the Intihad Stadium.
Can continue the strong performance at home.
Dortmund is really strong, but Klopp has never been able to overcome the problem of how to maintain the intensity of the game after excessive physical exertion and a decline in performance in the second half.
Manchester City's second goal occurred in the 77th minute.
What's interesting is that the entire Group of Death played four games, all of which were won by the home team and lost by the visiting team. There was not a single draw.
After two rounds, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Dortmund and Porto all have one win and one loss.
This made everyone curious about this group.
In terms of strength, there is actually not much difference. They are all at the knockout level of the Champions League, even the quarterfinals or above. But if they are assigned to the same group, then they have to compete with each other. Now that it is such a mess, it is hard to say who can win.
The key schedule is the next two rounds of the group stage.
Real Madrid plays host first and then guest, facing Manchester City, and Dortmund also plays home first and then guest, facing Porto.
After Real Madrid defeated Porto 3-1, the Spanish media were generous with their praise in the newspapers, but many professionals, including Sacchi, including Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of AS, and Deramo of Radio Ser
Reina is all reminding Real Madrid to be careful about Manchester City.
This is the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring!
It is no exaggeration to say that Manchester City is the strongest team in European football today.
At least in terms of lineup, Blue Moon is definitely the strongest, bar none.
Judging from the current trend, if you want to compete for first place in the group, you must try your best to win these two games against Manchester City. This will be a huge test for Real Madrid, which has just been reorganized this summer.
Of course, the same goes for teams like Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Porto.
Sacchi asserted that with the current situation in Group D, it is too early to say qualifying.
"For a team that is so close in strength, it may be difficult to get a result until the final round!"
Alfredo also believes that when Real Madrid faces Manchester City, the pressure of the game will be very high, but if they want to get the right to qualify for the group, they must face Manchester City directly, especially at home.
But whether it was Sacchi, Alfredo, or De La Morena, they all were full of praise for Gao Shen.
Especially in recent times, Real Madrid has obviously been getting better.
If the previous big-scoring defeats of Rayo Vallecano and Deportivo showed everyone Real Madrid's powerful offensive power, then in this round, the 3-1 home victory over Porto showed everyone Real Madrid's control.
force.
The rhythm, possession and situation of the entire game were all under Real Madrid's control. Porto, which upset Manchester City at home in the last round, had nothing to do against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Fernando, the Brazilian defensive midfielder who was the top contributor in the last round, was directly blamed for his sophisticated tactics in this game.
As Alfredo said, "It took more than a month for Gao Shen to gradually shape Real Madrid."
"Today's Real Madrid not only has full control, but also shows the temperament of a strong team."
"Whether it's against Deportivo or Porto, Real Madrid wins convincingly."
The editor-in-chief of Aspen believes that this Real Madrid team is truly capable of attacking Barcelona at Camp Nou!
"I'm looking forward to the upcoming Derby of the Century."
…
Compared with the hype from the outside world, especially as many media have begun to warm up for the upcoming Derby of the Century, the atmosphere inside Real Madrid has become more enthusiastic.
Whether it was the previous big wins against Rayo Vallecano and Deportivo, or the victory against Porto, these have made Real Madrid players more convinced of the advanced formation.
Especially as the competition progressed, they began to have a deeper understanding of advanced tactical concepts, and the cooperation between the players gradually became better.
For example, the left attack that Gao Shen focused on, the offensive combination of Marcelo and Ronaldo, cooperated extremely well. Together with Toni Kroos and Benzema in front, Real Madrid's left attack
Very sharp.
This is where the big wins come from.
In comparison, the right wing is more like the cooperation between Di Maria and Modric. Arbeloa is solid defensively, but his performance on the offensive end is not good enough, resulting in the attack on the right wing not being as impressive as the left wing.
But in general, Real Madrid's entire set of tactics can be considered basically formed.
The day after Gao Shen finished playing Porto, after the recovery training, he held a review meeting, which mainly analyzed the pros and cons of the game against Porto, as well as some of the mistakes made by the players in the game.
Gao Shen never hesitates to praise those who deserve recognition, but if there are performance problems, Gao Shen will point them out directly.
Conceding goals is related to substitutions.
After Gao Shen replaced Marcelo with Marcos Alonso, there were some defensive problems on the left. Only then did Assu, who came on the bench, seize the defensive loophole and assist James Rodriguez.
Goal.
But Gao Shen still gives encouragement to Marcos Alonso.
As for young players, we still need to focus on encouragement.
However, the problem still needs to be pointed out.
Especially when discussing with the coaching staff, Gao Shen hoped that they could come up with a training plan as soon as possible to help the young players in the team. After all, the upcoming schedule is very intensive, and Real Madrid needs the help of the young players in the team.
Thanks to the tracking and adjustments of Buenaventura and Pintus, Real Madrid has not suffered any major injuries so far this season. This is really the best news for the advanced formation.
…
During a double match a week, the team doesn't even have enough time for normal training, let alone rest.
The day after playing Porto, the Real Madrid team's game rhythm has shifted to the weekend's Derby of the Century.
Before the afternoon training session, Gao Shen called the team's top star, Ronaldo, to his office.
Before facing Barcelona, Gao Shen needs to unify the thinking of everyone in the team.
But before that, the first thing to deal with is Cristiano Ronaldo.
As the team's number one star, Gao Shen has always paid special attention to Ronaldo's situation.
Formulating tactics around the strong points of advantage is the basic operation of any head coach.
So much so that in Gao Shen's previous life, Manchester United signed Di Maria and Pogba at sky-high prices. However, they did not formulate tactics around them. As a result, both of them ended up at Manchester United. Not to mention that the sky-high signings were in vain, Manchester United was defeated.
The incompetence of the uniform team was also exposed.
Since meeting at the beginning of the season, Gao Shen and Ronaldo have had several conversations, and the contents of the conversations have been varied, but there are still some gaps and they cannot be truly open and honest.
Gao Shen doesn't insist on this, after all, everyone has their own personality.
He has read some biographies and books about Cristiano Ronaldo and knows that the Portuguese once had a very low self-esteem. That experience has made him very confident now, and can even easily give people a feeling of arrogance, but this is actually a way of thinking about himself.
protection mechanism.
Cristiano Ronaldo still has a strong sense of self-protection in his bones and will not easily get close to anyone.
Especially at his level, with countless people with ulterior motives surrounding him, how could he be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with others easily?
If he was really so stupid, he would have been deceived countless times.
Gao Shen never asked Ronaldo to obey him like Di Maria did. All he wanted was cooperation and obedience.
In fact, it is impossible for a player like Ronaldo to obey anyone's orders.
Including his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson.
This time, the conversation between Gao Shen and Ronaldo started with the recent performance.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very satisfied with his performance on the team. He has scored a lot of goals and the cooperation of his teammates is also in place. He feels that he and Marcelo can further tap into some potential. At the same time, he also promised that he will do his best to
Cooperate with teammates more often, and even pass the ball to teammates.
Gao Shen is very satisfied with Ronaldo's attitude.
The Portuguese are very smart. He knows what Gao Shen wants and what is best for him.
Many people don't know that smart people are often easier to deal with.
What I fear the most is meeting players who think they are smart but are actually stupid.
For example, Germany's No. 10 was directly sold by Gao Shen.
Gao Shen never thought that this player was very smart, even though he was quite clever in playing football.
The players took a stand, and Gao Shen naturally followed suit, promising that he would do his best to help Ronaldo, because helping Ronaldo is actually helping Real Madrid.
At the same time, he also suggested that Ronaldo interact more with his teammates, especially on the court.
Cristiano Ronaldo still knows how to be a good person off the court. For example, he often invites his teammates to dinner and often buys gifts for them. These may seem like small favors, but in fact they can greatly shorten the relationship and friendship between him and his teammates.
There is nothing to worry about in this respect.
The two of them chatted about each other, and the Portuguese began to realize that the real purpose of Gao Shen's visit to him was not to understand these things, or in other words, it was not just to understand these things.
"Boss, do you have something to say to me?" Ronaldo sat opposite Gao Shen and looked at the coach leisurely.
Gao Shen chuckled, was it obvious what he had done?
But in fact, he really never thought about hiding it. This was originally meant to be discussed.
"I do have a question to ask you." Gao Shen smiled.
"Say." Ronaldo also realized the seriousness of the problem.
For Gao Shen to be able to make insinuations like this, consider the left and right, and pose the question before asking it, it is definitely not simple.
"You know, we are about to go to Camp Nou to face Barcelona, and what I want to know is, what if, I mean what if, at Camp Nou, between individual performance and beating Barcelona, there is only a second choice.
If it’s one, what would you choose?”
After asking, Gao Shen stared at Ronaldo with his eyes.
