Only about half of the second half passed, and the two-goal lead that our team had finally achieved was gone. Such a result is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the Real Madrid players!
What's even worse is that there are still twenty minutes left before the end of the game! For Real Madrid, who had been beaten by Tottenham before and had almost no power to fight back, this period of time was undoubtedly extremely fatal because they had no means to deal with Tottenham's attack!
Looking at the players sitting on the bench behind him, Heathfield couldn't help but sigh deeply. Of course he knows that the physical fitness of Carlos and others is on the verge of reaching the limit, and the team has reached the point where substitutions must be made, but the German coach does not feel that he still has such players in his hands - Guti runs too little and has a defensive attitude. , letting him replace Baptista is simply asking for death; Raul's state in the past two years has been really bad, and his scoring efficiency is extremely low. Letting him play might completely misfire Real Madrid's offense; The remaining players are either young players who have not been tempered in many competitions, or they are engineer players with a single function. Heathfield does not expect them to perform well at all!
Despite his success in Dortmund and Bayern, Hitzfeld is not good at coaching, or he doesn't like to use young players. Regarding this, it can be seen from the fact that after he left these two clubs, both Dortmund and Bayern were in trouble due to the aging of their main lineups.
The reason why young players such as Dela Rede and Ramos were successively hired after taking charge of Real Madrid is that on the one hand, it is because of Florentino’s orders and the condition and physical fitness of superstars such as Ronaldo that it is difficult to guarantee that they will have enough for the entire season. On the other hand, the stable performance is because it is difficult for Real Madrid to spend money to poach pillars of other teams as it did in previous years - with the richer Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United, Lafayette has this point The possessions are really not enough to look at.
As for Cicinho, who joined this summer. Although the Brazilian performed well in the Confederations Cup and was regarded as Cafu's successor, Hitzfield, who really came into contact with the right back, knew very well that the current Cicinho did not meet his requirements at all. Require!
Compared with Salgado, Cicinho's advantages are obvious - he is young and energetic, has a strong desire to attack, has delicate footwork and an accurate cross. But the problem is that his defensive ability is far from as good as his offensive ability. If no one provides him with defense, he will be a colander even more terrifying than Carlos. In addition, like most South American players who came from poor backgrounds, Cicinho quickly became addicted to luxury after becoming famous, and his competitive status and physical condition plummeted as a result. Naturally, it was impossible for him to win the favor of Heathfield!
In his previous life, Cicinho was unable to win the main position from the old and honest Salgado under the care of fellow Brazilian Luxenberg, let alone under Hitzfeld who emphasized more tactical discipline. In fact, if Cicinho had no way to correct his drinking habits and lax training attitude, then the successor to Cafu would not have been able to get many playing opportunities in the hands of Hitzfield!
Having said that, when the physical fitness of Carlos and other veterans has been exhausted, substitution is inevitable. In the end, with the idea of serving a dead horse as a live doctor, Heathfield used up three substitutions in one breath - he replaced Sal with Uruguayan teenager Diogo and Arbeloa who was promoted from the second team. Gadot and Roberto Carlos also replaced Ronaldo with Negredo, directly replacing all the "veterans" except Helguera and Graveson!
"George, could it be said that Heathfield has decided to give up this game and is going to take this opportunity to train young players?" Seeing Heathfield's adjustment, I don't know much about these young people who are not well-known. Old Charlie asked doubtfully, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Although there are still twenty minutes before the end of the game, if we replace a few more midfielders or defenders and use the numerical advantage to strengthen the defense, then the score can be maintained There’s still a lot of hope until the final whistle blows, right?”
"Charlie, don't forget, Hitzfield is coaching Real Madrid, which has the most picky and demanding fans in the world. If he dares to do this, even if he helps Real Madrid get a point in the end, they will not be left behind. Good review. In this case, it’s better to give it a try, so as not to end up in the same situation.” Regarding old Charlie’s doubts, George immediately answered, “Also, Charlie, do you really think that this guy Heathfield will give up so easily?” Game? Just watch, the players he can put on the field at this time will definitely not be mediocre!"
Reality soon proved George's view correct. Although there is a significant gap between Negredo and Ronaldo and others in terms of personal ability, these young players with more physical fitness and more active defense have injected much-needed vitality and defensive hardness into the sluggish Real Madrid, helping the Galacticos to emerge. Overcoming the embarrassing situation of being forced into a half-time offensive and defensive drill by Tottenham!
However, although Negredo and others worked extremely hard to help Real Madrid get rid of the situation of being besieged by Tottenham, their limited abilities were unable to bring a victory to the Galacticos - when Merck announced that the game was over , Tottenham finally relied on Gerrard's header and Robben's curve ball to hit the goal, and became the winner of this game with a score of 4 to 2!
Despite the four-goal reversal from Tottenham, Real Madrid fans did not feel dissatisfied with the team or Hitzfield's performance after the game - Real Madrid fans do have an extremely persistent pursuit of victory and offensive football, but this does not mean that They are all ignorant fools. Playing against a top team like Tottenham, they are very satisfied to be able to reach this point!
What's more, although Real Madrid did not score points, it was not nothing - the performance of young talents such as Ramos, De La Rede, Negredo and Arbeloa in this game allowed fans to see Galaxy Battleship Hope!
Although Ramos was bullied badly by Drogba in this game and almost never had the upper hand in one-on-one battles, the young defender who was born in the capital of Andalusia showed tenacity in the game. The spirit is something that all Real Madrid fans admire!
You know, Pavin was regarded by countless Real Madrid fans as the banner figure of Florentino's "Zidane + Pavin" policy, but after several blows, he lost confidence and disappeared. Ramos is able to still work hard even when his defense is frequently beaten by opponents. It makes people think that this little guy with extremely strong willpower may really become a big player!
It can be said that the biggest gain of Real Madrid in this game is not that it once pushed Tottenham to the edge of defeat, nor is it to prove to people that the Galacticos are not weak enough to be strong on the outside, but on the other hand, it has gained a group of players that can support the team. The young man who will be the future backbone of Real Madrid. If Florentino can be patient and give these young players enough time and trust, then in a few years, the glorious scene of the "Real Madrid Five Eagles" may be repeated on his watch!
