Early the next morning, Wang Ai took Leonie to morning exercises. During the break, he called Lao Gao on the lawn of the Real Madrid Sports Center in the gentle morning breeze.
Lao Gao is very busy right now, talking to people even during lunch time, so when he answered Wang Ai's call, he was a little bit unresponsive: "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you a track and field athlete?"
Wang Ai said "Holy shit" in his heart and hung up the phone: I don't believe you can't react after a while!
Sure enough, before Wang Ai got home, Lao Gao called after him: "Don't agree yet!"
"What they want to give me is a track and field award." Wang Ai said sincerely.
Lao Gao originally wanted to explain that he was having lunch with the leader at noon, but before he could say anything, he thought again: Who am I to explain to you? Personally, you are my brother-in-law; professionally, you are a member of my national team, so you will get the results.
If it’s better, it won’t make me humble myself…
"What about that? I was having dinner with the leader just now..." Lao Gao opened his mouth and explained out of habit, wishing he could slap himself twice.
"I'm ready to eat too." Wang Aite said calmly.
Lao Gao decided not to talk nonsense to Wang Ai. He was so good at language arts, so he said directly: "Which countries have sent you invitations? Send me the information and I will take a brief look at it first, and then I will find an opportunity to talk to you."
The leader will tell you."
After finishing speaking, Wang Ai hung up the phone directly without waiting for more words.
Watching Wang Ai having a silly laugh on the phone, Leonie poked him at the side: "I said, Director Gao is also going to be the chairman of the Football Association. Can you give me some respect?"
"Why do you respect me? Isn't this a private conversation?" Wang Ai put away the phone: "If he gets promoted, I will do the same to him!"
"I really envy your relationship. Many people reach a certain point where they can no longer take jokes."
"You also said it was many people, not everyone."
There are only two days left for the second game of the Champions League group stage. Dortmund is also the strongest team in this group besides Real Madrid. After the training that afternoon, the players gathered and set off for Germany. Their families were willing to accompany them.
Since she was still waiting for the letter from Lao Gao these days, and the sports departments of many Asian countries were waiting for the letter from Wang Ai, Leonie couldn't leave Wang Ai and went with her.
Dortmund slept all night and made it in the morning to adapt to the venue and do targeted training.
Due to the intensive competition, Zidane's coaching staff was unable to make any long-term targeted arrangements. The assistants could only temporarily transfer Dortmund's game videos from the recent season for a brief analysis, and then provide Zidane with several characteristics and characteristics of opponents.
The content of the recent lineup changes depends on what tactics and personnel deployment Zidane decides to set up.
Because Real Madrid is strong enough, and the frontcourt players have commercial factors in addition to competitive factors, there is not much change. It is still the arrangement of Benzema in the front, Ronaldo on the right, Bale on the left, and Wang Ai in the middle.
, but the rotation in the midfield and backcourt is quite big.
Leonie's analysis is that Zidane is preparing for the exhaustion of the frontcourt players. Once the frontcourt players cannot hold on and need to rest, the role of his backcourt rotation reserve will be revealed: he can still ensure that he cannot defeat the opponent.
Small victory.
After the training, Zidane had a brief chat with Wang Ai on the way back to the hotel. Recently, Real Madrid's attack has continued the characteristics of the middle and late stages of last season. The efficiency of the frontcourt attack has been significantly improved. The hammering of hard bridges and hard horses is mixed with insidious attacks.
Short sword and dagger. The initiator of this change is Wang Ai, not Zidane, the theoretical leader of tactics.
Zidane has not expressed any clear opinions all this time and basically allows Wang Ai to play freely. On the one hand, this is one of his guiding principles. As long as the player's performance meets the team's needs for victory or defeat, he will not interfere too much.
Unlike some control-freak coaches, even if it is a good change, as long as it does not come from him, he will be unhappy and will destroy it; on the other hand, it is because Zidane has no regard for this change or the change brought about by Wang Ai.
It is relatively unfamiliar. Real Madrid has never played the tiktak style of play of its mortal enemy, but Wang Ai at least played like this in the frontcourt.
After more than half a year of silence, with the news that Wang Ai went on a business trip to the Olympics and won two gold medals, Zidane felt that he should say something when Wang Ai came back and picked up his style of play from last season.
After arriving at the hotel, everyone dispersed. Wang Ai followed Zidane to his coach's room. The two sat down and got straight to the point. Zidane talked about his feelings about Wang Ai's frontcourt planning for more than half a year, and directly told him that from a personal perspective, he
Appreciate this style of play and support Wang Ai's personal transformation of Real Madrid's offensive system. But at the same time, Zidane said that compared with the few players in Barcelona's frontcourt, it is very difficult for the few players in Real Madrid's frontcourt to play tiktak. One is that everyone is taller.
He is relatively tall, and his nerve conduction velocity is a little slower than that of a shorter person. Even if he has to play that way, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of Barcelona.
When talking about this, Zidane specifically said: Except for you, you are one of the very few big players who has the flexibility of your feet and the speed of a small player.
Zidane said another thing is that several of us at Real Madrid did not have the same experience of growing up in the La Masia training camp. Cristiano Ronaldo was born in the Portuguese youth training, you were born in the German youth training, Bale was born in the Welsh youth training, and Benzema was born in the French youth training.
The missing teenage stage cannot be compensated for by the adult stage.
Wang Ai agreed with Zidane's judgment.
Then Zidane said, I believe you are still figuring out how to transform it specifically. Cristiano Ronaldo is also very interested and he is probably thinking about it too. I will continue to observe and think. In principle, I support and appreciate your ideas and efforts.
I’m talking to you today because I want to tell you that you don’t have to target Barcelona’s offensive system. You can learn from their advantages, such as players with the ball passing through and players without the ball supporting the movement, so that the ball and man can overlap in an instant.
situation, but we should consider the characteristics of our players. For example, we can try some high-altitude balls, or balls that require direct physical confrontation. This kind of ball is difficult or difficult for Barcelona's small men to get, so we can. This belongs to our special attack system of Real Madrid.
It was established.
Finally, Zidane emphasized, I don't have to ask you to help me build a Real Madrid attacking DNA, but our situation is like this, and this is the easiest way to succeed.
Coming out of Zidane's room, Wang Ai thought about it for a while and had to admit that Zidane was right. He still thought less about this aspect. His teammates had been forced by various competitors and could only make full use of themselves.
With his physical characteristics, he tried his best to give full play to his unique advantages, but was unable and unable to pursue superfluous things. Unlike Wang Ai himself, who had the physical advantages of a big man and could also pursue the things of a small man.
"Everyone is accustomed to starting from themselves." Leonie listened to Wang Ai's emotion and concluded: "But you are the only one in your situation in the world. You are a super giant, one of the three in the world."
