Chapter 42 Dual-core?
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Valencia 2-0 at his home court, with C. Ronaldo and Kaka each scoring a goal, while Chu Zhongtian scored an assist.
It can be said that the ball that Chu Zhongtian assisted Kaka completely extinguished Valencia's counterattack.
After this game, the only teams that can remain unbeaten in La Liga are Real Madrid where Chu Zhongtian is, and Real Madrid's arch rival Barcelona.
Barcelona is currently ranked first, while Real Madrid ranks second with a goal difference.
The media said: "This season's La Liga has become a situation where Real Madrid and Barcelona compete for the two heroes..."
Therefore, it may be decided to decide the ownership of the league championship in two national derbys. Whoever wins can become the champion. The team that loses to the arch-enemy loses not only three points, but morale.
This has happened before. Before the 34th round of the national derby of the 2008-2009 season, Real Madrid led by Juander Ramos won 17 and draws one, including one with ten consecutive victories and the other with seven consecutive victories. The momentum is only four points away from Barcelona, and there are four rounds left in the league. What's the result? Real Madrid lost to Barcelona with a shameful score of 2:6 at home. This game determined the final ownership of the league championship, because Real Madrid, which lost to Barcelona at home, suffered a heavy blow and his morale was low. In the subsequent four rounds of the league, there was a four-game losing streak... Therefore, the suspense of the title of La Liga, as long as Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the state of no problem, it basically happened between them.
This is even more so this season. Because both sides have strengthened their strength. In particular, Real Madrid has introduced several players to fight Barcelona. Among them, Chu Zhongtian bought 70 million euros, which is considered to be directly targeting Barcelona. Because Chu Zhongtian became famous in the Champions League final by almost defeating Barcelona alone.
※※Real Madrid defeated Valencia at home but did not make their rankings go up because Barcelona also won. However, this is good news for Real Madrid's devilish schedule. They have won the two most difficult teams in this schedule, so it will be easier next.
For Mourinho, what he has to consider now is how to organically combine Chu Zhongtian and Alonso without conflict.
Alonso also had a wonderful performance within more than ten minutes of replacing Khedira. For example, he once made a long pass and accurately sent the football to the forward Benzema. Unfortunately, Benzema had just started playing and seemed to have not adapted to the rhythm of the game, which wasted his assist.
At that time, the commentator praised Alonso's condition: "Alonso is in great shape. Now it's Mourinho's turn to have a headache because he has two commanders in excellent shape. So who should replace whom?"
Yes, the core status of both organizations is excellent, which is really annoying.
Alonso's long pass is very accurate, and his role in the midfield is indispensable. Chu Zhongtian is the same. He seized the opportunity of Alonso's absence due to injury and showed his ability to the whole of Spain. Although he has not scored yet, three assists in the league and two assists in the Champions League have already shown his value. The 70 million euros should not be wasted.
But how do you combine them together? It is difficult to make them one plus one greater than two, not one plus one less than two.
In fact, in today's football world, few teams have dual cores. That is because people are different from computers, not machines that can simply execute commands, but creatures with thoughts and emotions. In the same situation, the conclusions drawn by the two people are completely different. When the team is behind, should we attack and equalize the score, or defend first to avoid conceding the ball?
If both of them have different ideas, the rest of the team will be even more at a loss. One of the core must attack, but the other must defend and do not use their strength in the same way. How can you win this game?
This is why many teams don’t play dual-cores themselves. The so-called dual-core team was higher for a while ago, which was to let Ronaldinho and Kaka start together. Both of them were core players. As a result, the Brazilian team did not play very well, and the effect was far less than as good as everyone thought.
Now Mourinho really plans to have a dual-core game in Real Madrid.
In order to solve the two cores, everyone does not know whose problem should be heard. Mourinho did not develop two cores with equal status.
One must be the main core and the other is the auxiliary. In fact, it is like the engine of an aircraft, one is the main engine and the other is the auxiliary engine. The main core usually plays a leading role. Once he encounters a problem, the second one will immediately push it up. Let the opponent's tactics to curb Real Madrid's core core fail.
This is Mourinho's plan.
But who should be the core?
"There is almost no need to hesitate. If it were me, I would choose... Chu." Assistant coach Kalanka was completely impressed after watching Chu Zhongtian's performance in these games.
"Reason." Mourinho asked.
"He is comprehensive, and his qualities are top in all aspects. Such a person can handle almost all the scenes. I think he feels more at ease..." Kalanka said. "He can score by himself, assist teammates, and he is also good at planning and organizing offenses. In addition, he also has amazing talent in defense... Of course, the most important thing is that his mentality is very mature. No matter what problems he encounters, he can calm down. He will not be influenced by the situation on the field. I think the most important thing about a core is his psychological quality. I have to give Chu a hundred points on this point."
Mourinho nodded: "Since you are so optimistic about him, let him do this position..."
Kalanca smiled. In fact, Mourinho was also optimistic about Chu Zhongtian's... Chu Zhongtian is the main core and Alonso is the auxiliary. Can Alonso accept such an arrangement?
Mourinho doesn't care about that, because even if Alonso can't accept it, he has to accept it, otherwise he will not even have a chance to start. You should know that Chu Zhongtian and Khedira have a good cooperation. During this period, Real Madrid won one after another, and they won easily, and it was Chu Zhongtian and Khedira's partner.
Mourinho is not afraid of Alonso making a fuss about him now. As long as Chu Zhongtian is there, he is not afraid of not having Alonso. Besides, he has the final say in Real Madrid now.
But he always has to come to Alonso to talk about it. After all, this is related to whether he can cooperate with Chu Zhongtian sincerely on the court.
He hopes to understand Alonso's attitude. If Alonso cannot accept this arrangement, he has to put him on the bench to calm him down.
※※ Mourinho was fully prepared and planned to convince Alonso to accept his opinion - assist Chu Zhongtian instead of becoming the protagonist in the midfield.
But he didn't expect that after he said this request, Alonso agreed very happily.
This surprised Mourinho.
"We all know what Chu's strength is. After watching his game, I think he has the ability to lead the team. The most important thing is not personal position, but the team's victory..." Alonso explained.
Mourinho remembered Alonso's anxious attitude before playing the game, and thought that he was really the winner... Only when he played the game would he say such things. If he asked Alonso to be a substitute, he would definitely not accept it.
Since Alonso doesn't object, this matter is decided.
The players of Real Madrid will soon find this in training. During training, Mourinho began to communicate frequently with Chu Zhongtian, and the tactics were completely founded with Chu Zhongtian as the core.
Although the outside world says that C. Ronaldo is the core of Real Madrid. But that is because everyone has a different understanding of the core. The outside world believes that whoever scores the most goals, who is the most famous and has a glory, is the core. In Real Madrid, it is only the most important to see who plays the most role in tactics, and whoever participates in the offense the most is the core.
Chu Zhongtian obviously got his preference.
It seems that Alonso is no longer the core of the team.
But Alonso himself doesn't care about this.
He is happy to play his current role.
Alonso himself didn't care, so naturally no one would come forward to trouble Chu Zhongtian for him. The atmosphere in the locker room was quite harmonious.
Mourinho adjusted the team's tactics while trying to make Chu Zhongtian adapt. The competition with Barcelona lasted throughout the whole season. Although other teams and Real Madrid are not of the same level as Barcelona, as long as you lose a game, Barcelona may be left behind.
What makes him happy is that Chu Zhongtian has been used to being the commander who leads the team at Hoffenheim, so he almost doesn't need any adaptation time to his role as a commander of Real Madrid.
Anyone who has cooperated with Chu Zhongtian praised his abilities and likes to work with him again. Kaka has become Chu Zhongtian's best advertising agent. He now has a very good relationship with Chu Zhongtian, and even better than his friendship with C. Ronaldo.
However, everyone in the team knew why Kaka had such a good relationship with Chu Zhongtian. Because no one could solve the problem, Chu Zhongtian solved it. As long as he appeared on the court at the same time as Chu Zhongtian, Kaka's degree of participation in the game will be greatly improved. His performance in various technical statistics such as passing, shooting, goals and breakthroughs is also very good. People who watched the game will also think that Kaka has returned to his previous state.
Who doesn't like playing football with such a magical person? He can improve his level. He can only play 50% but now he can play 100%. He can play 100% but now he can play 200%. This is simply more effective than taking stimulants... Real Madrid players have gradually realized what he felt when Hoffenheim coach Rangnick said proudly after the game, "With Chu on the court, we have twelve people."
Perhaps it is not just a compliment to Chu Zhongtian for his good physical strength, but also a meaning is that he can make the whole team perform well. On the scene, it seems that they have one more person than their opponents, so they suppress the opponent.
※※※"Now it seems that the so-called 'devil schedule' is not devilish for Real Madrid. They easily solved Sevilla and Valencia. Barcelona is not the best. Real Madrid is chasing them closely. As long as they dare to slack off, they will be pulled down by Real Madrid. In fact, Real Madrid has performed such outstanding performance last season, or the past few seasons. They have won ten consecutive victories and eighteen rounds.
Losing, and still maintaining unbeaten at home so far... but it always gives people a feeling of lack of stability. Sometimes when they are in good condition, they can play Valencia at home with a 4:0. Sometimes when they are in bad condition, they can even lose to Osasuna away... So now we say that Real Madrid can challenge Barcelona's dominance in La Liga. But I am looking forward to it now, and I am full of things that can be expected for this Real Madrid..."
Eduardo Inda, the editor-in-chief of the Marca newspaper, wrote this in his column.
He is actually a very hardcore Real Madrid supporter. Before, because of Barcelona's visit to the Bernabeu and Real Madrid, he also called on Real Madrid to try every means to stop Messi, even including crime. Later, he also called Barcelona's head coach Guardiola a fascist.
However, from this article, we can see that he actually suppressed his emotions. Maybe the situation is too good, which makes him a little alert, or maybe it is because the league has just begun, there is no need to be too happy too early?
However, he said what most people think - now this Real Madrid is more worth looking forward to than before.
Now when watching Real Madrid's game, I feel at least not too nervous. In the past, no matter whether Real Madrid was behind or leading, it always made people feel nervous - if they were behind, they were afraid that they could not get back, if they were ahead, they were afraid that they were equalized by the opponent, and if they were tied, they were afraid that they were reversed by the opponent... In short, all kinds of worries.
Real Madrid has encountered difficulties in these games, but they seem to be able to solve them.
Whether it is Sevilla or Valencia, the opponent who used to make Real Madrid fans a headache is now taken down by Real Madrid soldiers without bloodshed.
Moreover, Real Madrid still has the time to do rotation.
Mourinho is indeed in a high rotation, because the players in Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt are in great shape, but he can't send everyone on the court at the same time, right?
So sometimes Kaka, sometimes Di Maria, and sometimes Ozil. Now he is considering starting Gareth Bale in the next game against La Coruna.
Since Bale joined the team, he has only played as a substitute and has not yet started yet. Because Marcelo is in good shape in the left-back position, he is in the top position in the left-back position. Who dares to compete with him for a position? So Bale can only play as a substitute occasionally. However, the player Real Madrid bought for 30 million euros is absolutely impossible to be a substitute.
So this forced Mourinho to do rotation. He played four rounds in the league and two Champions League group stages. Real Madrid did not have a single game with the same starting lineup as the last game... In fact, Mourinho did not like rotation. If he could, he would rather use only one lineup to play all the games. Because he thought that this would be of great help to cultivate the team's tacit understanding - you finally got used to this teammate, and after one league game, he found that you were a new teammate. This is indeed quite annoying.
Of course, in fact, this rotation has the greatest impact on Chu Zhongtian. After all, he is the core of the team, needs to organize offenses and connect the entire team. If the people who cooperate with him are always changing, he has to start adapting again - this is the view of the outside world.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian did not think that this rotation would cause him any trouble. He was the kind of person with super adaptability, and he had already prepared. He would watch the game video of his teammates at home when he had nothing to do, and study and analyze the technical characteristics and football style of these people.
So even if someone else comes, as long as he is a teammate of Real Madrid, he is not afraid.
You know, in the latest version of FM, its adaptability is 20.
※※ Before the match with La Coruña, Mourinho announced the starting lineup. Xavi Alonso still did not start, he was still a substitute, and the starting lineup with Chu Zhongtian was still Khedira. This is because Alonso just returned from injury and had to play gradually and come bit by bit.
The forwards who started in this game were Higuain, C. Ronaldo, Ozil and Di Maria formed the line behind Higuain, and Chu Zhongtian and Khedira were behind. The central defenders were Pepe and Carvalho, left-back Gareth Bale, right-back Sergio Ramos, goalkeeper Casillas.
Kaka got a break after a row of starts, and so did Marcelo.
Real Madrid has no injuries yet, so it seems very rich in personnel arrangements. But no one knows what will happen in the future, and injuries will definitely come to them.
By that time, a bench that is deep enough can play an important role.
And there are two core benefits that even if Chu Zhongtian is injured, Alonso can still take over. Otherwise, the same is true.
So what about these two people being injured at the same time? The chance of this is too small, and Mourinho doesn't consider it at all.
In this game, Gareth Bale finally started, and everyone is looking forward to what his performance will be. He has never started in the premature position since he joined Real Madrid for so long, which makes him a little anxious. You should know that he is the absolute main player in Tottenham, without any dispute. As long as he is not injured, he will play in every game. But what about coming to Real Madrid? A rotation player, whether it is left-back Marcelo or left winger C. Ronaldo, is not qualified to compete with others.
Therefore, the starting lineup of this game is very important to him.
He must seize the opportunity, show himself to the head coach, fans, and the media like Chu Zhongtian did.
