() September 23, 2005, eight o'clock in the evening.
Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid.
The fourth round of La Liga is about to take place here. Real Madrid will face Sevilla at home.
Su Yun was not very impressed with Sevilla's results.
Su Yun didn't even know much about the club Sevilla. When he was in England, even wealthy clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona didn't have a few newspapers paying attention to them, let alone a mid-tier Spanish club like Sevilla.
...
Moreover, when Su Yun was coaching Chelsea, Su Yun’s opponents were all the strongest teams in each country. Only the giants from each country are qualified to be Chelsea’s opponents. The opponents Su Yun studied in the Champions League were those European giants. Like Seve
A team like Leah that doesn't even qualify for the Champions League is not in Su Yun's eyes.
If it weren't for the emergence of some good players in Sevilla, Su Yun would not know a team like Sevilla at all.
There are several clubs in La Liga that Su Yun has heard of for the first time. There are many clubs that don’t even mention their history, and even their current head coach and player Su Yun don’t know them.
But Seville is an exception.
But as a famous black spot in Spain, it should be said that they are second-rate dealers. Sevilla is still quite powerful. In the past few years, they have trained many good players and then sold them to other teams at high prices...
Alves bought by Su Yun, Reyes bought by Wenger, Ramos bought by Real Madrid, Baptista, etc. are all very outstanding transactions. And each of them was sold at a high price. Just selling this
Several players from Sevilla received around 80 million euros.
Now Real Madrid's Ramos and Baptista were both imported from Sevilla at very high prices.
Ramos is worth 27 million euros and Baptista is worth 20 million euros.
However, in order to prepare for the game, Su Yun suddenly learned about Sevilla. Sevilla's strength is not bad.
The dressing room at the Bernabeu.
The Bernabeu is indeed much more beautiful than the Stamford Bridge stadium. However, although it is luxurious, it feels very strange to arrive at the Bernabeu unexpectedly. Facing a group of unfamiliar players, Su Yun did not make any adjustments.
There was nothing in the locker room either.
"We are now at the Bernabeu. In the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faces Sevilla at home. This game has attracted a lot of attention because this game is Real Madrid's new coach and he just completed the Triple Crown with Chelsea last season.
Wang’s young head coach Su Yun’s debut at Real Madrid.”
"Judging from the starting lineup, Coach Su Yun's formation is quite satisfactory. Nothing has changed. The goalkeeper is Casillas, and the defense is Ramos, Helguera, Woodgate, Roberto Carlos.
, the midfielder is Joaquin, Beckham, Gravesson and Zidane. The striker is Ronaldo and Raul."
"There was news before that the relationship between Joaquin and Su Yun was very bad. That's why Joaquin decided to leave Chelsea and come to Real Madrid, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem. Su Yun still sent Joaquin."
Jose María of Spanish Radio Sports explains the match.
Jose María is the most famous football commentator in Spain. He is also the highest-paid commentator in Spain, with a yearly income of more than 6 million euros.
José María’s question is also Joaquín’s own question.
After Su Yun came to Real Madrid, he talked to some people. Among them were Beckham and Raul, but there was no old disciple like Joaquin. Joaquin thought that Su Yun was trying to put on some shoes for him.
But I didn't expect him to start this game.
Su Yun walked out of the locker room.
The last time he came to the Bernabeu, Suyun led Chelsea, and this time he became the owner of the Bernabeu.
"Coach Ramos. Hello."
"Coach Su Yun, hello."
This kind of greeting before the game has become a tradition.
Ramos is fifty-one years old.
Like Su Yun, he just became the head coach of Sevilla this season. Compared with Su Yun's brilliant resume, Ramos's resume is a bit ugly.
I have always coached in small clubs.
Coming to Seville this time is a small step up.
After all, Sevilla is considered a mid-table team in Spain.
When Su Yun entered the Bernabeu, he could no longer hear the cheers at Stamford Bridge. However, Real Madrid fans are also very gentlemen. Although Su Yun once brought Real Madrid a huge shame, today Su Yun has become the head coach of Real Madrid.
, they still stood up and gave Su Yun applause.
Of course it's just polite applause.
"Su, do you remember when we came to Real Madrid to bring in Eto'o five years ago?"
Clark also felt that the Bernabeu was very strange.
And Clark's Spanish is not very good. If it weren't for the introduction of Eto'o and Joaquin, Clark wouldn't even know Spanish. But even if he learned Spanish, it would still be very poor.
So he felt even more unfamiliar here.
"kindness."
At that time, Su Yun was still a top young coach in England. Now he has become the head coach of Real Madrid.
"At that time, I still remember you saying you wanted to conquer the Bernabeu. Now you and I have become the head coach of Real Madrid."
"hehe."
…………
"Hello, viewers. This is zhong yang TV station. This is zhong yang TV station. The game we are broadcasting now is the fourth round of La Liga. Real Madrid plays Sevilla at home. The game is about to start. This
It’s Coach Su’s first game after taking charge of Real Madrid.”
He Wei and Zhang Lu partnered to commentate on the game.
Eight o'clock in the evening in Spain.
For China, the current time is three o'clock in the morning. It is so difficult to watch La Liga games in China, because the Spanish league games are usually in the early morning.
Therefore, there are some problems with La Liga's ratings.
This is not because of the influence of La Liga, but because of the rest habits of Chinese fans.
But there is something different at three o'clock in the morning today.
There are many Chinese fans.
Even a lot.
Because Su Yun became the head coach of Real Madrid.
What is Real Madrid?
That is the world's most wealthy club. Many fans in Europe also have aristocratic complexes. Fans of wealthy clubs always have a sense of superiority and despise upstarts like Chelsea.
And China is no less generous.
The Chinese are considered by Europeans to be a group of people with no religious beliefs.
They believe that the Chinese people have only known their own small family for thousands of years without any religious beliefs.
Actually this is wrong.
The Chinese people do not have a unified religious belief. But to say that the Chinese people have no religion is to only know one but not the other. The Chinese believe in their ancestors. The worship of ancestors has lasted for thousands of years in China.
And the Chinese like to whitewash their ancestral history.
Look at Cao Cao saying that he is a descendant of Cao Shen, a famous official in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bei saying that he is a descendant of the Han royal family, and Sun Quan saying that the Sun family is a descendant of Sun Tzu. What exactly is it? In fact, no one can say clearly.
Counting down, all the famous people are like this.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family found a person, that is, Lao Tzu. Everyone was named Li, so the Tang Dynasty began to regard Taoism as the state religion.
So much so that Taoism was very popular during the Tang Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to find a arrogant ancestor. Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was a cowherd boy when he was a child, and he probably didn't even know who his grandfather was. He searched and searched. Finally he found someone.
Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear to say that Zhu Xi was his ancestor, he ordered that in future examinations, the annotations of Cheng, Zhu and Neo-Confucianism on the Four Books and Five Classics must be used.
In this way, Zhu Xi, a representative figure of one of the schools of Confucianism, suddenly became the teacher of scholars all over the world. He had the momentum of Confucius being the first and me being the second.
Of course there is a joke.
When Zhang Xianzhong was passing through Sichuan, he saw the temple of Huan Hou Zhang Fei and said, "My surname is Zhang, and your surname is Zhang. Let's get married." Then he found a group of literati and asked them to help him change his family tree.
Make yourself a descendant of Zhang Fei.
Of course this is just a joke.
From these stories, we can see how much the Chinese hope that they are of noble birth. This is also true in football. They have a natural affinity for those European giants.
Therefore, when Su Yun became the head coach of Real Madrid, Chinese fans were very crazy.
Real madness.
In their view, Su Yun becoming the head coach of Real Madrid is even more worthy of celebration than Su Yun winning the Champions League. The same is true for the Chinese media.
They reported endlessly that Su Yun became the head coach of Real Madrid.
** is indeed very smart in this regard.
He immediately judged the thoughts of domestic fans.
Becoming the head coach of Real Madrid was even more sensational than when Su Yun won the Triple Crown.
Something very unexpected.
Those manufacturers that were still hesitant signed contracts with Su Yun one after another. After this round, Su Yun endorsed more than fourteen manufacturers.
According to the current situation, Su Yun can earn more than 30 million euros in one year at Real Madrid. There is no problem in reaching about 35 million euros.
…………
Because the time is too short.
On the 21st, Su Yun entered Real Madrid's training ground and got to know the players. On the 23rd, Real Madrid announced that Su Yun would become the head coach of Real Madrid. On the night of the 23rd, Su Yun led Real Madrid in the game.
Su Yun was not given any time to adjust at all.
Therefore, Su Yun's first start was quite satisfactory.
Su Yun wants to observe Real Madrid's problems during official matches.
Ramos was also worried before the game. Real Madrid had just changed their coach, and it was still Triple Crown coach Su Yun. What is Su Yun's coaching idea?
This all needs Ramos to consider.
He also wanted to stabilize and see Su Yun's changes to Real Madrid.
But after the game started, Ramos felt relieved. Real Madrid had not changed at all, it was still the same style of play. It seemed that Su Yun had just arrived at Real Madrid and had not had time to make any changes. Real Madrid in the past few seasons, especially
After Su Yun led Chelsea to humiliate Real Madrid, all teams understood Real Madrid's weaknesses.
There is a disconnect between defense and offense.
However, Ramos's Sevilla did not have the midfield pressure of Chelsea, and he could not play like Su Yun led Chelsea. At that time, Su Yun directly surrounded Real Madrid's center, allowing Beckham and Helguez to
It was impossible to control the ball at all. In the end, Real Madrid was in chaos. However, the strength of Sevilla's midfielder cannot be compared with Chelsea.
Therefore, the direction Ramos chose was two wings.
Sevilla is a typical wing team. They have produced many outstanding wing players. This includes Reyes and now Navas and Adriano.
Their characteristics also have some similarities.
Fast.
They are both very fast wide players.
Su Yun used limited time for observation.
Real Madrid's defense in the middle is left to Gravesson and Beckham. When Gravesson was at Everton, he was a very aggressive defensive midfielder.
He was even the core midfielder at Everton.
In order to change Real Madrid's problem of strong offense and weak defense, Florentino bought Gravesson.
It's a pity that La Liga is different from the Premier League.
Premier League teams pay more attention to speed, and fast pace is the Premier League's style of play. Graveson is very adaptable to this style of play. Especially Graveson's wide range of running is very suitable. But facing this kind of La Liga
Gravesen was not very used to the delicate coordination of passing.
Because in La Liga, we don't need that kind of fierce midfielder and active running midfielder, but we need the kind of defensive midfielder who has a very good sense of position.
But Graveson suffered a lot in this regard.
And Beckham was never born as a defensive midfielder.
Although he is very diligent and has strong running ability. It can be said that all areas of the midfield are within his running range, but in addition to his strong running ability, his defensive skills and defensive awareness are much worse than those of an authentic midfielder.
In the midfielder position, Beckham has another shortcoming.
That means being unable to control the ball.
Beckham's ball control ability is not bad, but not strong either. In the past, the Real Madrid coach's idea was to let Gravesen defend and Beckham organize. Unfortunately, Beckham had difficulty controlling the ball under the opponent's pressure.
Then organize.
Therefore, both of them now have some difficulties in defending the middle. As for controlling the rhythm of the game after possession of the ball, there is also less support for the two wings.
Joaquin on the right has played in the Premier League.
He also played football under Su Yun.
So it can still help the right back Ramos, but Zidane plays on the left. Zidane plays in the middle, and the left wing is completely left to Carlos.
Ronaldo in front is walking, waiting to pass the ball to himself.
Raul was more active. But he stayed too far back to grab the ball and completely forgot that he was a forward. Moreover, he wasted his talent and aura by fighting so hard without any physical effort.
And the important thing is that Raul is active in defense, but his defensive effect is average.
Su Yun sighed.
Real Madrid has so many problems.
Ramos, on the other hand, was much more determined at this time. He was playing on the wing, especially on the right. Navas on the right, like Reyes who had already arrived at Arsenal, was a very fast player with a very strong ability to control the ball.
Navas is only nineteen years old.
But he is already a hot new star in Spanish football.
Just like Reyes back then.
I don't know how many wealthy families covet him.
Facing Carlos, Navas was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Moreover, Navas's breakthrough also made Su Yun clearly see the problems currently facing Carlos.
Carlos is already thirty-two years old.
Getting older.
Although his offensive ability is still very strong, there are problems with his defense. His defensive ability is not actually the best. Compared with defenders like Maldini, his defensive skills are much worse.
But Carlos can become one of the best left backs. It depends on his powerful explosive power, speed, and flexible body.
But now that I am getting older, my physical fitness has begun to decline.
Therefore, the defense is not so stable.
Navas's breakthrough is deadly.
Twenty-two minutes into the game, Navas made another breakthrough.
Navas's breakthrough was very simple. He relied on disguise and explosive power to break through Carlos. Of course, like Joaquin, Navarro is also a traditional Spanish winger.
Spanish traditional wingers are almost the same.
Crossing is their best skill.
Navas's cross was wonderful.
Sevilla's forward Fabiano stopped the ball with his left foot, then turned around and scored the first goal of the game with his right foot.
Seeing Fabiano's goal, Su Yun shook his head.
Sevilla's style of play is very simple.
The two wingers broke through and then made a cross. The two forwards, Kanoute and Fabiano, also had a clear division of labor. Ramos asked Kanoute to rely on Woodgate, while Fabiano attacked Etienne.
Ergla.
Canute's height of 1.92 meters leaned on Woodgate, making him unable to defend Fabiano. Although Woodgate was very capable, he was unable to support Helgra because of Canute.
And Helgra seems to have declined too quickly.
Helguera is actually just 30 years old, which is the peak period for a defender. But I don't know why Helguera's condition declined so quickly.
What a pity.
Lost the ball.
Su Yun was not angry.
It's strange that Real Madrid's defense doesn't concede goals.
Su Yun made a real discovery during the game. Real Madrid's defense is not just a problem of defensive players. Real Madrid currently does not have any outstanding defensive players.
Herguera's condition declined too quickly, and Woodgate returned from injury not long ago. Carlos on the left is old, and Ramos on the right is still very immature. This is Real Madrid's defense.
As for Real Madrid's main defensive midfielder Gravesson, he is simply not worthy of a wealthy club like Real Madrid.
Gravesen's strength is actually enough to serve as a substitute midfielder for a giant like Real Madrid. But in Real Madrid, he became the main defensive midfielder.
Beckham is not a defensive midfielder at all. Ronaldo in front is walking, waiting for the ball to come. Raul's active grabbing of the ball does not form a good understanding with the team, which is a waste of energy.
It can only get a good impression, but it doesn't actually help the team at all.
A situation like Real Madrid's current situation requires the whole team to work together.
Once the ball is lost, the whole team should work together from the forwards to the midfield to protect Real Madrid's weak defense, but Su Yun knows that this is unlikely.
The one in front is Ronaldo.
This is how Ronaldo has played since he got injured. Before getting injured, Ronaldo was also very active in front and actively ran out of space.
But since the injury, Ronaldo has run less and less.
You can score goals even if you run less.
This is Ronaldo.
Let him help defend?
And Zidane.
This is an unparalleled superstar. He used to be quite willing to help defend and was active in running. But now Zidane is thirty-three years old after all, and his physical strength is not that outstanding.
Both of these two are accurate ball champions.
Although Su Yun is also an excellent coach, his deterrent effect on their two potential world champions is much smaller.
"Canute, headed the goal... Casillas, saved the ball. This is Casillas's third wonderful save in the first half. If it weren't for Casillas, it would have been
Sevilla can seal the victory of the game. It's possible that Real Madrid is already three or four goals behind Sevilla."
"Coach Su Yun's first show looked very embarrassing. Real Madrid's stubborn problems did not disappear with the arrival of coach Su Yun. But this is also understandable. Coach Su Yun just became the head coach of Real Madrid this afternoon and will lead the team tonight.
Team game. I guess coach Su Yun just got to know the Real Madrid players."
Jose María is right.
In the first half, Real Madrid was beaten badly by Sevilla. Carlos and Ramos on the wings completely overwhelmed Sevilla. Real Madrid's defense was like their own territory.
Sevilla's offensive players entered Real Madrid's territory at will. Kanoute and Fabiano shot as they pleased, and Sevilla had 11 shots in the first half.
Seven of them hit the door frame.
There are several must-win opportunities.
But they were all saved by Casillas.
If it weren't for Casillas' heroic performance, Real Madrid would have been directly defeated by Sevilla.
What a mess.
No wonder Real Madrid's performance in the new season is so poor. They lost three games in a row.
Of course, if we lose this game, it will be our fourth consecutive defeat.
"Dudududu"
The whistle sounded at the end of the first half.
Su Yun breathed a long sigh of relief. He only conceded one goal in the first half, which was an ideal result. If others knew what Su Yun was thinking, they would definitely scold Su Yun for not having any future.
But for Su Yun now, zero to one in the first half is really an ideal result.
For a period of time, Su Yun thought that Real Madrid was about to collapse.
Because several times Real Madrid started to lose position.
Canute even had a single shot from close range.
None of the Real Madrid players had any energy. They all lowered their heads and entered the locker room. Because this game was too embarrassing, it should be said that Real Madrid has played too embarrassingly in recent games.
Seeing Real Madrid's morale, Su Yun smiled bitterly.
Nainai's.
Real Madrid now has the reputation of being a wealthy family, but they don't have the momentum of a wealthy family. What kind of game is this?
Look at Liverpool in the Premier League.
Although there are no good results every year, once they meet those strong teams, they are completely jealous. Those strong teams are not willing to meet Liverpool.
It is by relying on this momentum that Liverpool can maintain their last dignity as a giant.
But look at Real Madrid.
The first half was so embarrassing, but Su Yun didn't see any fighting spirit among the players. Only three of them were running fairly actively.
Raul, Beckham, Ramos.
Apart from these three people, there were quite a few people who looked like they were just strolling around. They were not active at all when running around.
These all need to be transformed.
Su Yun sighed and followed him into Real Madrid's locker room. (To be continued.)
