Chapter 338 The Last Position

"Then let's talk about Real Madrid's frontcourt. It is estimated that it is a combination of Anelka, Moreentes and Raul. Raul is not a typical striker. He is more like a No. 9 and a half, playing the role of half a midfielder and half a striker. Don't think that sometimes he is farther away from the goal, and the threat will be smaller. His cooperation with Morentes is very tacit. As for how to defend these three people, I don't want to repeat it. I have said it many times and I have written it on paper for you. Next, I want to talk about Real Madrid's defense..."

At this point, Jiang Mu stood up and began to play the game clips of Real Madrid's defenders. The players in the conference room watched the video carefully and talked about it from time to time.

After the video was released, Jiang Mu said, "Real Madrid is likely to form a 532 formation, but it may also become 352 in actual combat, allowing Carlos and Salgado to assist, so that there are only three central defenders left in the backcourt. The playing style of the three central defender is a classic change for Bosk in the second half of this season. Real Madrid has been a four-back before. The biggest advantage of this formation is that it is flexible and stable, which can strengthen the defense and increase the attack power if it is aggressive.

Real Madrid has always been strong in attack and weak in defense. The two full-backs, Salgado and Robert Carlos, have such strong offensive desire and ability that they often rush to the opponent's penalty area. In fact, even Yero is also an offensive defender, and he still holds the title of the third most goals scored in the national team. As a single midfielder, Redondo is the starting point of Real Madrid's attack and the starting point of defense. The three-backs also reduces Redondo's defensive pressure and makes him concentrate on scheduling. It completely liberates Sargado and Carlos, so that they have no worries and make Real Madrid's firepower to a higher level on the basis of defensive consolidation.

You may think that after Salgado and Carlos assist, there will be a gap behind, but before you want to catch their gap, you must first defend against their attack. Carlos and Sargado are very fast and have good skills. Riese and Clonekamp need to play the spirit of twelve points. "

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he asked the players to express their opinions and strive to make the pre-match tactical drills perfect. Against a team like Real Madrid, a little difference may cause immeasurable consequences. It must be good to prepare more. Even if these preparations are useless in the end, it is much better than not preparing for a sudden attack by Real Madrid.

The meeting lasted for an hour and a half before it ended, but the players did not feel that the meeting was protracted and lengthy, because in the meeting, they were the protagonists. Jiang Mu and the members of the coaching team just guided and summarized. The atmosphere of the meeting was very lively. The players expressed their own opinions and also put forward a lot of constructive ideas about the team's playing style. See you.

For example, veteran La Yi believes that although Bosque is a master of tactics, he has strong innovation ability and great tactical changes, but once the lineup is formed, Bosk is very superstitious about the main force. He commands in a single game, does not know how to be flexible, and is slow to respond. He trusts his main force and his pre-match tactics too much.

Ronaldinho said that he could play on the sidelines and use his speed to suppress Real Madrid's full-backs. Ronaldinho and Carlos are teammates of the national team. He said that he is very familiar with Carlos. This game will definitely not make Carlos's assists so crazy. If Carlos dares to assist as before, he can beat Real Madrid's left side into a sieve.

After the players rested, the coaching staff did not rest. Everyone is still finalizing the starting 11 players of the game. Now it is less than two days before the start of the game. Alkmaar's starting 11 players still have a position that has not been fully determined. Come on.

Among these 11 people, the goalkeeper and defender line have basically been determined. Left-back Riise, right-back Cromp, central-back Martens and Lucio. Although Ismail has recovered from the injury, he has missed many games. I don't know how the state is now. Jiang Mu dares not take the risk and still let Martens and Lu Theo is the main force.

The midfield and frontcourt is a headache, because Van Bommel is injured. Is it going to Enger or Layi? Lai's organizational and offensive ability are stronger, but his defense is obviously not as good as Enge's, but Enge is like a bull. Except for a long-range shot, his organizational ability is not at all, even worse than Gattuso's. If Gattuso and Enge are allowed to play double backs, this middle attack will not be expected. But in Layi's words, with Real Madrid's strong midfield and frontcourt, the risk facing the goal is obviously very big.

In the end, Jiang Mu made a bold decision to let Enge and Layi play at the same time and hit three midfielders, so that Enger can make up for Layi's lack of defense. Layi can help the two reckless men complete the offensive and defensive conversion, so that the attack in the middle is no longer a decoration.

After confirming the three midfields, the front court is also a problem. Ronaldinho, who originally played the front midfielder, had to play the winger, and the position of the right winger was occupied by Ronaldinho. The original right forward Kuit went to play the left winger, but in this way, Drogba and Tomasson can only play one partner striker. Is Drogba or Tomasson? This is another difficult problem. Because Drogba and Tomason are completely two types of strikers, Tomason is very good at seizing the opportunity, but he needs someone to feed him the ball, and no one passes the ball to him. Tomason is a useless person.

Droba is explosive and extremely strong. He can pose a threat to Real Madrid's entire defense by himself, but his ability to seize opportunities is too poor, and the opportunities he creates will be wasted by him.

After careful discussion by the coaching staff, it is believed that there are not many opportunities for them to play against Real Madrid. The ability to seize opportunities is better than the ability to create opportunities, so it is more appropriate for Tomasson to play.

Drogba changed from starting to substitute. He didn't know if he could have the opportunity to play on this big stage. If he knew it, he would be very unhappy. In order not to affect the atmosphere of the whole team's unity and cooperation, Jiang Mu personally went to Drogba's room the next morning to inform Drogba of this temporary decision.

Drogba didn't know that he had changed from the main force to a substitute. He saw Jiang Mu come to his room in the morning, opened the door for Jiang Mu in a daze, and said, "Coach, is it time for breakfast?"

"Not yet. I'm here to tell you something." Jiang Mu sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

Drogba looked at Jiang Mu smoking, swallowed his saliva, and said, "What's the matter, coach, just say it."

Jiang Mu's expression became serious and said, "Well, it's like this. After yesterday's meeting, we made some adjustments to the starting lineup. You will no longer start. For the victory of the team and the dream of the championship, I hope you can understand the decision of the coaching staff."

"What?!" Drogba almost jumped up and roared angrily, "Why? Yesterday, I still trained as the main force. Why did I become a substitute now? Who decided not to let me play, coach? I know someone must speak ill of me.

The blue veins on Drogba's forehead are beating suddenly, as if he had to choose someone to eat at any time.

"No one speaks ill of you. This is my decision." Jiang Mu said calmly and seriously.

When Drogba heard this, he was stunned for a while, like a discouraged ball. He sat on the sofa with a sad face and said, "Coach, why did you let me play as a substitute? Yesterday was fine. I have asked my wife and children to come to St. Danny to watch my game. I still want to hold my son to celebrate the championship. Coach, I am Half a Frenchman, coach, you came to my house and invited me to Alkmaar. Don't you trust me now?

Jiang Mu smiled bitterly, but in order to win, he couldn't be soft-hearted. He patted Drogba on the shoulder. Jiang Mu comforted in a low voice, "Didil, I still trust you. You just don't start, but I promise you have time to play. Real Madrid is a very strong team. We must play super well before we can beat him. Guys, the opportunities we can create must be very limited. Tomasson is better than you can grasp the opportunity. We need him to help us score goals. Do you understand?

As soon as Drogba heard that he must have a chance to play, he was in a better mood and muttered, "I am a little worse at grasping opportunities, but I can create opportunities than him. He falls down as soon as he touches it. I can get the ball among three defenders."

Jiang Mu said, "We are not now compared with Real Madrid's ability to create opportunities. We are compared with the ability to seize opportunities. No matter how many opportunities you create, it is difficult to compare with Real Madrid. Do you understand?"

Drogba thought about himself, and then thought about Real Madrid's superstars. His confidence wavered again and said, "Coach, how much playing time can I get? Don't let me show up when I'm injured. It's a shame to delay."

Jiang Mu saw Drogba bargaining with him and couldn't help laughing and said, "No, you will have at least 20 minutes. If you play overtime, you will definitely have more time. I'll give you the time, and the opportunity depends on you."

20 minutes is also a long time. Although it is not the starting line-up, which makes Drogba feel ashamed, but he can only accept the guarantee of more than 20 minutes, because even if Jiang Mu doesn't give him a minute to play, he has to sit on the bench honestly.

"Okay, coach, I will try my best to seize the opportunity. Believe me, I'm definitely not worse than Tomasson." Drogba clenched his fist, as if Tomasson had now become his enemy.

Jiang Mu smiled, stood up and said, "It's good to have this confidence, Didier, don't worry. Among these players, I am most optimistic about you, Ronaldinho and Robben. Work hard, and you will also become a superstar like Ronaldo and Raul."

"Then the coach needs more guidance and cultivation." Drogba was very comfortable to be flattered by Jiang Mu. He stood up and straightened up Jiang Mu, and his expression turned cloudy and clear.

"Ye, as long as you work hard."

Jiang Mu also breathed a long breath in his heart. He was very worried about Drogba's hot temper. Now he has solved it successfully, which makes him very happy. Next, he will go to another room to find Enge and Layi to talk about the first issue the day after tomorrow.
