"Hey guys, do you feel any pressure?" Closing the door to the locker room, George said to the Tottenham players sitting in front of him with a weird smile, "This is the home court of Real Madrid. Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Tonight, we are going to play against the team called Galacticos here. This is a very difficult team to deal with..."
"Boss, to be honest, I don't think it's difficult to win this game." However, Ronaldo's answer made George feel quite shameless, "Just looking at the momentum, this Real Madrid even It’s not as good as Chelsea and Juventus, which we have played against before. Moreover, their defense is too fragile and there is absolutely no way they can withstand our attack!”
"Okay! Since you said so, Chris (Cristiano Ronaldo), if you don't score a goal in this game, I will deduct your salary for the next month. How about it?" Seeing that Ronaldo not only failed to understand his He dared to talk nonsense in front of him. George narrowed his eyes dangerously and said to his "little brother" in a bad tone. He originally planned to follow this topic to talk about how to deal with Real Madrid, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Ronaldo, a living treasure.
"Boss! I know I was wrong!" After hearing George's words and realizing that he had just committed a terrible crime, Cristiano Ronaldo bowed his head and gave in. "I was just joking, please don't take it seriously!"
"Hahaha..." This cross talk-like conversation between George and Ronaldo relieved the tension in the locker room very well, allowing the players to relax the tense nerves before the war to a certain extent and to a more Go into this upcoming Champions League game with a relaxed mind.
Now let’s introduce the starting lineups of the two teams for this game. As for Real Madrid, although there are currently seven superstars in the Real Madrid team, Florentino has secretly given instructions to the Brazilian coach, asking these superstars to play as many games as possible, but Luxembourg cannot Silly, he knew very well that if he wanted to keep his position as Real Madrid coach, not to disobey Lafayette's wishes was only one of the factors. On the other hand, leading Real Madrid, which has seven superstars, to achieve breakthroughs in the league and Champions League and win one of the championship trophies can ensure that he will not be fired by Galeries Lafayette at the end of the season.
However, due to Barcelona's strong performance in La Liga this season and the big hole Real Madrid dug in the first half of the season, it was difficult to fill it. Therefore, after taking over Real Madrid's coaching job, Rosenborg led the team to chase points in the league and look for a new player. The opportunity to overtake in the standings, while investing a lot of energy in the Champions League, intends to copy the successful trajectory of Heynckes and Vicente del Bosque.
Goalkeeper Casillas, right back Salgado, center backs Samuel and Helguera, left back Roberto Carlos. In the midfield, Gravesen and Beckham formed a double midfielder, Figo served as the starting right midfielder, and Zidane continued to do the work of the attacking midfielder in the name of left midfielder, leaving all the offense and defense on the left to the midfielder. Left behind are Robert Carlos. On the forward line, Luxenberg sent the "alien" Ronaldo and "Lord of the Rings" Raul as a pair!
Judging purely from the cards, the current Real Madrid team is indeed worthy of the name of Galacticos - even top forwards like Michael Owen are sitting on the bench. There is absolutely no other team with such a lineup configuration in the current European football world!
Let’s look at Tottenham next. Like Luxenberg, George, who had no player injuries, also played the main role in this game. Goalkeeper Cech, the four defenders from left to right are Evra, Vidic, Ledley King and Stephen Carr, and the midfield trio are Mascherano, Xabi Alonso and Basturk, the front trident is a combination of Drogba, Ronaldo and Robben!
By the way, with Johansson's secret instruction, UEFA finally selected "Dentist" Merck as the referee for this game. The German referee, who became the number one golden whistler in Europe after Collina faded out of the refereeing world, has extremely rich experience in law enforcement. His judgments in the game are fair enough and will not deliberately favor any side. This is completely in line with the previous experience of Johansson and George. transaction terms.
Just like that, with Merck's whistle, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Tottenham and Real Madrid officially kicked off!
As soon as the game started, Real Madrid, which had the home advantage, launched an attack on Tottenham's gate amid the cheers of nearly 80,000 Real Madrid fans. Of course, they can't do this, because the football philosophy that Real Madrid has always pursued is not to attack, or rather die!
Any head coach who dares to display his defensive banner in Real Madrid will basically not end well even if he leads his team to win the championship trophy. This can be seen from Capello and Heynckes in their previous lives, as well as Mourinho's ending at Real Madrid.
Tottenham players were naturally well prepared for Real Madrid's actions. They took the initiative to shrink the defense line according to George's arrangement before the game, and deployed defense layer by layer starting from the middle circle of the stadium. Only two fast horses, Robben and Ronaldo, were left roaming in the frontcourt waiting for opportunities to counterattack. Even Drogba retreated to his own half. Participate in defense!
After captain Hierro, head coach Vicente del Bosque and main midfielder Makelele left the Bernabeu in the summer of 2003, Real Madrid's hegemony that took several years to establish also began to decline from prosperity to decline. Especially Claude Makelele, the departure of this French iron waist has left Real Madrid, which was already showing signs of being top-heavy, completely unbalanced on both offense and defense!
Without Del Bosque's mediation and reconciliation, Hierro's suppression in the locker room, and Makelele's tireless defense on the court, Real Madrid once relied on the offensive brilliance of a group of superstars in the frontcourt to advance on all fronts. But when the season entered the critical sprint stage, Real Madrid, which had been holding on for more than half a year, finally ran out of energy and collapsed, ushering in the first season since Lafayette took over that all four major players were empty.
This season, Real Madrid is even more chaotic inside. First, Camacho, the former Spanish national team coach who succeeded Queiroz, resigned voluntarily after leading the team for only four official games. Then Ramon, who came in to temporarily put out the fire, also announced his dismissal before the winter break. Although the current results of Luxenberg's leadership are quite good, in order to fill the big hole dug by the team before, and at the same time due to the pressure of Lafayette, he can only fight the main force desperately. Therefore, at this stage of the season, the physical condition of Real Madrid players, especially the superstars in the frontcourt, cannot be any better!
Therefore, as long as they make good use of this and withstand Real Madrid's opening attack, Tottenham will have a chance to defeat the Galacticos!
