Although there is a lot of resistance, Su Yun is now determined. Regardless of any disturbances outside, Su Yun's determination to transform Real Madrid cannot be shaken.
In the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Villarreal.
Villarreal is a veritable small team. Not only is their city small, their team is also an out-and-out small team. Their city population is only more than 4,000. In China
Even some administrative villages have more people than they have...
Villarreal isn't even a city.
It is a small rural area.
In their nearly century-long history, Villarreal has only been lucky enough to enter La Liga in recent years.
They spent most of their time struggling in the Spanish third-tier league and lower-level leagues. Even when they performed well, they were just hanging out in the Spanish second division.
But they are lucky.
Welcomed a generous boss.
Roger.
Their family is a very famous family in Spain.
He made a very famous deal that year. He bought part of Valencia's shares for 24 million euros. The majority shareholder of Valencia at the time was his brother, and his brother was still Valencia.
The president of the club...
But in 2003, just a few years after he bought the Valencia shares, he sold the Valencia shares.
Valencia was at its peak at that time.
Just two years ago, it was a strong team that entered the Champions League final. At this time, Benitez led the team to win the La Liga championship. Rogge completed a buy low and sell high.
The selling price was ten times what he paid for the Valencia shares.
Huge profits.
Real huge profits.
He used 24 million euros to bring himself huge profits in just a few years. He did nothing at all and made ten times the profit between buying and selling.
Then he took over Villarreal.
He made a lot of moves at Villarreal.
Bought many good players.
Solin, Riquelme, Forlan and other good players.
Rogge is indeed outstanding. In the short time he took charge of Villarreal, he has made Villarreal, which was still in the low-level league at the time, rise rapidly. Last season, he even entered La Liga.
Among the top four in the league, they got a spot in the Champions League.
Su Yun met Villarreal like this.
This Villarreal team should not be underestimated.
Especially Riquelme.
Riquelme's performance in Barcelona was very poor. But the memory he brought to Real Madrid is still very profound. In the 2002 Toyota Cup, Real Madrid, as the Champions League champion, was humiliated by Boca.
It should be said that he was humiliated by Riquelme.
Riquelme was strolling in the midfield, playing with Real Madrid's superstars. He was the brightest star on the field at the time.
Both goals scored by Palermo were assisted by Riquelme.
Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul, Figo and other top superstars in world football were completely overshadowed by Riquelme's brilliance during the game.
It's just that he was unsatisfied at Barcelona, so he went to the small team Villarreal.
When he arrived at Villarreal, his performance was quite outstanding.
In this game, he is the person Su Yun focuses on.
Su Yun re-activated Gravesen in the midfield, and his partner was De La Red. He put Baptista on the left. But his main task was to sweep the center.
All to defend Riquelme.
If it were at Chelsea, Su Yun wouldn't have to be so tired. Riquelme's characteristic is slowness, and Villarreal plays around him. So their rhythm is also about slowness.
If he were at Chelsea, Su Yun would use his speed to directly defeat Villarreal.
I won't talk nonsense to you at all in the midfield. Go directly through the midfield and only use the forwards and defenders to play the game. It can be said that Riquelme is simply ignored.
Use the Chelsea midfielder's movement to destroy Riquelme.
It's a pity that Real Madrid's midfield is not good. Real Madrid does not have Williams or Lampard in the midfield. The defense is completely incomparable with Chelsea.
Therefore, Su Yun could only hope to use brutal moves to defend Riquelme.
The experienced Gravesen was reactivated. Xavi Garcia is too young and his style is not aggressive. Gravesen, who has played in the Premier League, is more experienced and more aggressive.
Su Yun believes that Gravesen is more suitable to defend Riquelme.
But after the game started, Su Yun realized that he was wrong.
Riquelme is really strong.
Gravesen is no match for him at all. Riquelme is slow, but his skills with his feet are extremely good. Especially his ability to control the ball, it is difficult to steal the ball from his feet.
Graveson was fooled by the fact that he was lying.
Su Yun's original idea was to use Graveson and Baptista to entangle Riquelme, and then move Delarede forward and let him serve as an attacking midfielder. But Delarede also encountered his biggest opponent.
.
Senna.
Su Yun discovered this little-known defensive midfielder.
This is really a low-key superstar.
The performance of this defensive midfielder was outstanding. It was no different from Deco of Barcelona now, not much worse than him.
Delared was completely unable to show his strength when facing Cena.
Delared's breakthrough ability is still good. But he can't break through against Senna. In one-on-one situations, Senna is very good at stealing and his positioning sense is quite good.
Su Yun smiled bitterly.
Real Madrid's majestic midfielder was clearly at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Villarreal.
"Coach Su Yun doesn't know how to control superstars. Coach Pellegrini is telling coach Su Yun how to control superstars. Riquelme's performance under coach Pellegrini is so outstanding."
"Compared with Coach Su Yun's treatment of Zizou and Ronaldo, Pellegrini is much smarter than him. Pellegrini taught Coach Su Yun the role of superstars in the team."
Milido saw Riquelme's performance and praised Pellegrini.
shrink.
Real Madrid was suppressed by Riquelme and Senna and was completely passive in defense.
Villarreal's two forwards are not simple either.
Fran and Jose Mari.
Forlan, in particular, failed terribly at Manchester United, but until Forlan left Manchester United, Ferguson didn't think he was wrong. He was always tough-talking in front of the media, saying that Forlan just didn't adapt to the Premier League's style of play.
Ferguson was rarely so insistent.
And he is very decisive. As long as the players are not performing well, he will be eliminated without saying a word.
But he was tough on Fran.
He just refused to admit that he had made a mistake. He thought Fran was very powerful.
Ferguson was indeed right. After Forlan came to Spain, he immediately became the best shooter in La Liga. He has a wide range of activities in the frontcourt.
Su Yun had no better way.
You can only defend with numbers.
"Oh, this is the ugliest Real Madrid I have ever seen in recent years. Coach Su Yun brought the ugliest football to Real Madrid."
Su Yun's face was ugly.
Not only was the game ugly, Su Yun could also hear the Real Madrid fans booing him.
But Su Yun didn't have the confidence to attack Villarreal.
"Steve, Real Madrid can't do it without supplementing their defense. Xavi Garcia is good. Unfortunately, he is too small. Graveson is not worthy of being Real Madrid's main force. They can face weak teams, but once they encounter Riker
A player of May's caliber has shown his true colors."
Su Yun was rude.
Su Yun didn't understand at all. Florentino was very good at recruiting offensive players. He could buy any superstar he wanted. But to buy a defensive midfielder, it would be better to find someone better.
Graveson?
I don't know what he was thinking at the beginning.
Not just the defensive midfielder, but also the defense.
Su Yun's current central defender combination has many problems. Su Yun uses Ramos to attack and Woodgate to finish. Ramos is impulsive, and Woodgate does not have the strength of Ferdinand. Their combination is also Su Yun's helplessness.
choose.
"Why...I miss Jack."
Su Yun nodded gently.
From Dagenham to Sunderland, and then to Chelsea. There is only one thing Su Yun is not afraid of the most. That is defense.
Because there is Williams behind.
Moreover, Su Yun has been with him for ten years. Su Yun is not used to not having him in this sudden team.
Su Yun is waiting now.
Use Gravesen and Baptista to continue to pester Riquelme. Wait until Riquelme is tired and then launch a counterattack.
Pellegrini looked at Su Yun from the sidelines.
He really didn't expect that a famous coach like Su Yun could be so tolerant. Not to mention coaching a club like Real Madrid, even coaching a mid- to lower-tier club in La Liga would be condemned for playing this kind of defense.
Not to mention Real Madrid.
admire.
Pellegrini really admired Su Yun.
Able to bend and stretch.
But he must defeat Real Madrid. Especially now when Real Madrid is at its weakest.
He started making substitutions not long after the second half began.
"Cazorla?"
Pellegrini replaced the left back Arua Barena and replaced him with a young offensive player Cazorla. Then he moved Solin to the left back position and let Cazorla play on the left.
Avant-garde position.
Suyun is no stranger to Casola.
He performed well in Villarreal last season and was considered a substitute.
Su Yun also studied Cazorla before the competition.
But when he came on the scene, Su Yun was shocked. Cazorla's strength was good and he performed well as a substitute. But Su Yun never expected that Cazorla's potential was so high.
195.
There are strong players in the Villarreal team, as well as young talented players like this.
Cazorla is not as good as Solin in terms of offensive and defensive balance, but Solin is no match for Cazorla in terms of offensive threat. With Riquelme's transfer, Real Madrid's right wing is under great threat.
After Cazorla came on the court, Salgado immediately became the biggest weakness.
Salgado is known as a desperate man.
However, at the age of thirty, his performance has begun to decline. Facing the light Cazorla, Salgado struggled.
Real Madrid can't hold on any longer.
In the 74th minute of the second half, Riquelme made a sudden pass and the ball passed between Ramos and Salgado. Cazorla just ran there and got the ball.
Then he easily passed Salgado who was returning to defense and passed the ball to the center.
Forlan received a pass from Cazorla and scored the goal that broke the deadlock.
Su Yun patted his forehead helplessly.
"It was Coach Su Yun's conservatism that led to the defeat of the game. This was a counterattack by a small team. Real Madrid has completely changed beyond recognition in the hands of coach Su Yun. It no longer looks like any giants."
"Florentino's biggest mistake was to invite coach Su Yun." (To be continued.)
