Real Madrid's training has always been conducted in Valdebebas.

As the Champions League final approaches, some adjustments have been made to the training of Benitez and the coaching staff.

For example, start adding more small-scale grouping confrontation training, and focus on offensive routine drills.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid's ability to attack Inter Milan will be a crucial part. How to break the enemy is the key factor in the final victory or defeat. If you cannot break Inter Milan's defensive system, then Real Madrid will undoubtedly lose this battle.

In addition to offense, defense is also a part of what Benitez attaches great importance to.

Judging from the situation this season, Real Madrid's defense cannot be reassuring.

The number of goals conceded in the second half seemed to be much more stable, but in fact, the team's defense is still unreliable.

Or it should be said that compared with Inter Milan's reinforced concrete defense, Real Madrid's defense is really average.

Then the question arises. If the frontcourt attack does not break Inter Milan's defense, what if it delays for a long time and makes a mistake in the back line?

This is not alarmist. Real Madrid has made many defensive mistakes this season, especially set pieces.

There are gains and losses, which is a problem in team selection.

For example, the central defender, because Pepe was injured, Benitez reused Ramos and Fermuren and gave up Metzelde, which would inevitably lead to weaknesses in defending high balls, but the team's back-chasing speed, overall maneuverability, and ball-out ability of the team's defense line have been greatly improved.

It depends on how the team chooses.

Should I want Metzeld's air control advantage or something else?

When you go to a team of Real Madrid, the quality and ability of players are basically fine, and the key is to choose.

Of course, no one is perfect, and the combination of Ramos and Fermulen is not stable enough.

This is also normal. You cannot ask a central defender to frequently grab the ball and often dribble the ball forward, and he will not allow him to make mistakes.

It's like no one can ask Yang Yang to seize every scoring opportunity created by the team.

...

After a small-scale group confrontation training, Benitez arranged four goals in the halftime to confront four goals, which means that four small fans were placed in the halftime to defend two goals against both sides.

The range is small and there are many goals, which requires players to increase their focus on the court and also try to improve their passes and reception speed.

Benitez's requirement for the team is to quickly pass and receive the ball, try to control it within two feet, and try to transfer as much as possible, and use the advantage of passing and controlling the ball to pull Inter Milan's defense.

Real Madrid has the advantage on both sides, Yang Yang and Robben have considerable deterrence and attack power on both wings, Benitez means that the two wings fly together, creating articles through the wings, and in the middle, Ibrahimovic, the world's chief center and Sneijder, are inserted into the back.

Yang Yang is not unfamiliar with the team's tactical style, but he is still somewhat worried.

Inter Milan must also know what Real Madrid wants. Mourinho knows Benitez very well, and Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben very well. He will definitely not let Real Madrid create obvious advantages on the wing.

If Inter Milan simply let go of the wing and confine Yang Yang and Robben to the wing through defense, how can the ball return to the middle?

Judging from the current situation, Mourinho must still use the four-back and three-middle midfielder style. The middle lane will be a dense area for their defense. If Yang Yang and Robben are both limited to the wing, it will be difficult to penetrate the middle lane.

Yang Yang also asked this question to the coaching staff at the team's tactical meeting, which is also a headache for everyone.

To a certain extent, if Inter Milan strictly guards the situation, Real Madrid really has no good way.

...

The last training is half-court offensive and defensive training.

After a period of adjustment, the players showed their best side.

Yang Yang also scored a world shot in training, winning cheers from his teammates and coaching staff in the same field.

As the end of May approached, Madrid ushered in summer heat, and every player was sweating profusely after training.

After the players conducted relaxation training, they could have ended the day of training.

Yang Yang ran aside to practice more with the ball and the personal coach assigned to him by the team.

There was something hidden in his heart, and Yang Yang seemed a little absent-minded. The coach who accompanied him also saw that he had something to do and did not dare to disturb him. After all, Yang Yang looked kind on weekdays, but he was the number one star in the team. With just one word from Yang Yang, he would have to leave in minutes.

This uncomfortable atmosphere was finally broken by a sudden sentence.

"What's going on? Are you in trouble?" Zidane walked over with a smile.

He sent the personal trainer away and accompanied Yang Yang for training.

Seeing Zidane coming, Yang Yang simply stopped practicing and directly called him to sit down in a place where no one was around.

"I heard, are you going to get married?" Zidane asked with a smile.

Yang Yang immediately became depressed, "What did that big mouth tell you?"

Zidane laughed, "The whole team knows."

"I just knew that this guy couldn't tell him any secrets." Yang Yang angrily criticized Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center has a bold and unruly personality, and he always speaks and does whatever he wants, and he cannot hide any secrets at all.

"Are you upset about this?" Zidane asked with concern.

He noticed that Yang Yang was a little absent-minded during training.

Yang Yang shook his head, "This is not important to me at all. I can marry Su Ye at any time, you know."

"That's..." Zidane nodded. He knew Su Ye, a very beautiful Chinese girl, who was very compatible with Yang Yang.

"I'm thinking about playing Inter Milan in the final." Yang Yang replied, "You said, just like this, can you beat Inter Milan's defense?"

"It seems that you have no confidence in the team's offense." Zidane said. He did not mention Benitez, but his meaning was clear.

"I think Mourinho must be ready, and may even have dug a hole and waited for us there."

Inter Milan's tactics can be said to be very rogue, which is to focus on defense and counterattack.

The most troublesome thing about this style of play is that their defense is impeccable, and as long as you can't beat their defense, as long as you reveal your own flaws in letting go, the opponent will immediately seize the opportunity to fight back.

Barcelona died at this point!

So is there any problem with this style of playing?

Of course there are, and it's very big.

Whether it is Mourinho's Inter Milan or Benitez's Liverpool, they play very well in the domestic league.

Of course, now that the Serie A is down, Juventus and AC Milan lack combat effectiveness, so Inter Milan can dominate Serie A. But in fact, Mourinho's team still cannot come up with effective solutions when facing the defensive counterattack of domestic league teams.

Benitez's Liverpool was the same back then. The Champions League swept through the crowds, and the strong dialogue was remarkable, but the league results were not ideal. Why?

Because the league depends on offense!

Facing the defensive counterattack of mid- and downstream teams, you must push it out and play and come up with a very feasible offensive system.

Barcelona are very stable in the league because they have a nearly buggy pass and ball control system. This is not an offensive tactic at all, but a system that combines offense and defense. I can't defeat you, I will pass you to death!

Now that Real Madrid has become Barcelona, ​​but it does not have the support of Barcelona's pass and ball control system. Inter Milan continues to play the role it is good at, which is a very terrible thing.

Yang Yang's worries also come from this.

"You're right." Zidane nodded, "Although most of the people outside are optimistic about us, thinking that we are playing at home and having superior attack power, in fact, this game is still open 55, and we have no advantage."

Yang Yang agrees with Zidane's judgment very much.

"Murinho's defense has been sublimated in Inter Milan this season and reached a new height, especially in the second leg against Barcelona. In the whole game, Inter Milan only had 68 passes, one less than his opponent, but he defended zero to one."

Yang Yang admired Mourinho's tactical arrangements and on-site command in this game.

"Of course, we are different from Barcelona. We definitely cannot limit Inter to that level, but you must know that our stability is not as stable as Barcelona, ​​which will inevitably bring about a brand new problem. What if we make a mistake and are caught by our opponents?"

Benitez also made plans in this regard. At that time, he could only further strengthen the offensive.

But the problem lies here. For Inter Milan, whether you increase the offensive or not will have no effect on them, because they should defend and how to defend. As long as you cannot break their defensive system, even if you push all eleven people to the front line, there will still be no solution.

"After soccer has developed over the years, such teams appear almost every year. Do you still remember the zero-to-zero game between Juventus and AC Milan in the Champions League final that year?" Zidane asked.

Yang Yang nodded, of course he remembered.

"It's very dull and not good-looking at all, but on the tactical level, neither of them has any way to deal with each other. In the end, they are forced to win by penalty kicks, right?"

Yang Yang understood Zidane's meaning. Inter Milan was like Juventus and AC Milan back then. He advocated that through solid defense, he would first put himself invincible, and then find a way to defeat his opponent.

Of course, if there is no way to defeat the opponent, they don't mind ending the game with zero to zero.

It is reported that Mourinho has been practicing the penalty shootout, and it seems he is preparing for both hands.

"The charm of football is here. A team is strong and has all kinds of advantages. They are pressing against the opponent to play, but they can't score the goal, but they are sneak attacked by their opponents and lost the game. This is professional football. This is the legend that many fans are familiar with. This is how it comes from."

When she heard Zidane say this, Yang Yang suddenly thought that Zidane's French national team followed Yakai and also attached importance to the concept of stable defense. France relied on this set of World Cup and European Cup championships back then.

Zidane has also played for Juventus for a long time and is deeply influenced by Lippi and Italian football.

While Yang Yang was still savoring Zidane's words, the French legend said another word that touched his thoughts.
