Chapter 175 Listen to the coach, let me tell you about Zidane's urgent request for a monthly pass
In the away dressing room at the Bernabeu.
Li Ang is lecturing the players.
"Now, after the first half of the game, how do you feel?" Li Ang asked.
"Real Madrid is not invincible." Juan Mata, who scored a goal for the team, stood up and said.
"Yes, they are not as scary as they thought." Juan Carlos also stood up and said. He was on fire now. The team led 1-0 for half an hour, but was defeated by the opponent with two goals in a row.
These two missed goals still have a certain relationship with him.
The first goal conceded was that Carlos failed to guard Zidane, and the French superstar sent an overhead assist. The second goal conceded was that Carlos fouled Zidane and gave Beckham a direct free kick.
A chance to score...
"It may be more convincing to say this after you have guarded Zidane." Li Ang looked at Carlos seriously and then said.
Carlos didn't speak, just clenched his fists.
Seeing this, others including the team's captain Miguel Cobas felt that the head coach was too harsh on Carlos. In fact, Carlos' performance in the first half of today's game was quite good.
What's wonderful is that if Carlos hadn't rushed all over the field to intercept Zidane, Figo and Guti, Sporting Gijon would have definitely conceded more than two goals, and Sporting Gijon's goal was also attributed to Carlos' pressing Guti.
.
"Coach, Carlos performed very well in the first half of the game..." Captain Miguel Cobas stood up and said.
"Well..." Li Ang glanced at Carlos, "What do you think of your performance?"
"It's my responsibility for not guarding Zidane." Carlos said loudly.
Li Ang glanced at Cobas, smiled, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Cobas also looked at Carlos a little speechlessly. This kid usually has a good temper and has a good relationship with everyone, but as long as he is in competition, he is stubborn.
Is Li Ang strict with Carlos? Maybe. However, he is the person who knows Carlos best. This kid is always full of energy and always refuses to admit defeat. I believe that the first half of the game was defeated by Zidane, which is equivalent to giving
Carlos learned a good lesson, which is beneficial to this boy's growth.
*************
"I'm satisfied with your performance." Li Ang pointed at them and gave a thumbs up. "We did a good job and once prevented Real Madrid from finding a way to score! From a tactical level, what we did
That’s good, but we didn’t handle the details well, and of course, I’m also responsible for that!”
Li Ang raised his voice and said, "Now is not the time to talk about responsibility. The lesson of the first half of the game is that Real Madrid players, some of them can change the venue of the game relying on their own strength, these people need to focus on ideas.
"
Hearing Li Ang say this, the players nodded one after another. The goals scored by Ronaldo and Beckham said everything. In fact, Real Madrid did not get many threatening offensive opportunities in the first half of the game, but they scored two
Ball, this explains the problem very much.
Li Ang turned around and wrote a name on the tactical board - Zidane.
"The Frenchman is the core of Real Madrid's midfield. He must be watched to death. As long as he cannot play his role, Real Madrid's offense will be paralyzed in half."
Having said this, Li Ang named Carlos again, "Carlos, tell me your impression of Zidane."
"He... is very strong!" Juan Carlos said after being silent for a few seconds.
Li Ang smiled. Being able to make this stubborn boy say the word "very strong" shows that Zidane's two wonderful performances in the first half of the game made this boy afraid and shocked.
From a long-term perspective, this is what Li Ang hopes to see. Carlos is only seventeen years old and is still very young. He has become famous too quickly. Six months ago, he was a 'waste' who was expelled from the team by Getafe. Now he is
Sporting Gijon's main midfielder even has the nickname 'Gattuso of Sporting Gijon'. He is very popular among fans, and some clubs have begun to pursue Carlos. This kid is a bit too arrogant and underestimates the world's heroes.
That's funny. Leon didn't go to talk to Carlos specifically. He was just waiting for the opportunity to play the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid. He believed that Zidane and Figo would teach Carlos a lesson. Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
, this boy knows that there is a heaven outside the world!
Li Ang was not worried at all that Carlos would be discouraged or depressed after the setback. This kid didn't have that kind of character. After he suffered a loss, he would only look for his own shortcomings and vowed to recall the situation.
*************
Later, Li Ang focused on some details that need attention.
There is no problem with the team's tactics, but some details require more caution and attention. Real Madrid's stars are too strong, and seemingly small oversights in some details may lead to catastrophic consequences.
Regarding the second half of the game, Li Ang intuitively believed that Real Madrid would still strengthen its offense.
A score of two to one will definitely not satisfy this super giant.
Li Ang is sure of this. Before the game, he spoke nonsense about Florentino's "Zidane + Pavin" policy. The Real Madrid boss was unhappy. Real Madrid must use practical actions to support the president.
, Florentino will not be satisfied with a one-goal lead.
"As for Ronaldo, although he is a little fat now, you should know his strength! This Brazilian is still the most threatening forward on the planet. Don't give him space to shoot, defenders, you
You can stick up and defend. His current size is not as flexible as before, so take advantage of this. Pay close attention to his movement and be careful of long passes and overhead kicks from Real Madrid!"
"If there is an opportunity to attack, continue to attack Pavin! Let him collapse!"
"Midfielder, press Guti! Let Guti pass the ball when he is under pressure, and others will be ready to intercept the ball, just like you did in the first half!"
Li Ang paused and thought about whether there was anything else he needed to add.
It really reminded him of something.
*************
"Guti and Zidane, these two people have bad tempers. You can use your brains in this regard." Li Ang said.
This surprised the players. They knew Guti had a bad temper, but Zidane? The Frenchman is recognized as an elegant and modest gentleman, and he has a bad temper?!
Li Ang saw that the players didn't believe it, so he started talking.
"On September 18, 1993, Marseille defeated Bordeaux 3-1. In the 37th minute, because he could not bear the abuse of Desailly, his future national team teammate, the 21-year-old Zidane punched Desailly in the eye and was directly punished.
Come on." Li Ang raised a finger.
"On August 22, 1995, Bordeaux drew 2-2 with Karlsruhe. During the game, Zidane was violated by Finke several times. After being tackled again in the 24th minute, Zidane gave Finke a slap in the face.
, was sent off directly." Li Ang raised two fingers.
"On January 5, 1997, Parma beat Juventus 1-0. In the 66th minute, Zidane punched Dino Baggio and both were sent off." Li Ang raised three fingers.
"On October 25, 1998, Juventus beat Inter Milan 1-0. Zidane viciously stepped on Paulo Sousa and was directly sent off." Li Ang raised four fingers.
"On October 24, 2000, Juventus lost 1 to 3 to Hamburg. Kintz hit his knee on the back of Zidane, who had just finished his suspension, and tackled Zidane during the fight. Zidane got up.
Attacking the opponent, he was sent off with a red card and suspended for an additional 5 games." Li Ang raised five fingers.
His players looked at their head coach in shock. On the one hand, they were surprised that Zidane, who was known to be graceful and graceful in the public opinion, had so much "black history". At the same time, they were even more surprised that their head coach, coach
, you are so knowledgeable, how come you know such things so clearly in your mind?!
*************
"Do you need me to continue talking?" Li Ang asked. There was quite a bit of unfinished meaning, as if he was saying: Hurry up and say it, you still want to hear it.
Everyone subconsciously shook their heads. It meant that the coach was dirty and we knew it.
This seemed to make Li Ang a little disappointed. It is painful to have knowledge and not be able to show off. He originally planned to talk about Real Madrid's game this season on February 11, 2004. Sevilla beat Real Madrid 1-0. In the 45th minute, Alfa
Luo elbowed Zidane, and Zidane responded with a provocative action similar to a slap. The assistant referee witnessed all this and informed the referee, and Zidane was sent off directly...
Li Ang knows Zidane very well. He has his own understanding of the French king. Zidane is easily angered, which is a weakness of his character. This must be admitted and does not need to be whitewashed. In fact,
Zidane's red cards are basically direct retaliations against his opponents after being irritated, such as head-butting, stepping on, slapping people, etc. They are not the useless type with bright soles.
It is perfectly fine to say that Zidane has a bad temper, is irritable, and has a bad temper, but it cannot be labeled as "black" or "dirty".
This can be regarded as a character weakness of Zidane, but few people are aware of this fatal weakness of the magical Zidane until a man named Materazzi did something...
"So, Guti and Zidane have bad tempers, you should be careful." Li Ang said half-jokingly.
He didn't notice that Juan Carlos's eyes were as bright as light bulbs. This kid from the slums of Madrid was even trembling with excitement... He had another strong point compared to playing football...
ps: Second update, please ask for a monthly pass, reward, and all kinds of requests. (To be continued.)
