: Repay the other person with kindness
Spain.
Valdebebas, located northeast of Madrid, is the training base of Real Madrid.
At this time, in the head coach's office, Ancelotti and his assistants had just watched the video of the two rounds of the game between Chelsea and Juventus.
Now, two words are written on everyone's face, solemn.
Chelsea performed really well!
"Pan Yi is still the same Pan Yi, and Chelsea is better than Hamburg." Ancelotti couldn't help but said.
In last season's Champions League final, he led Real Madrid to face Hamburg. With a two-goal lead, they were beaten by three goals in a row, and finally lost the championship.
From that game, Ancelotti also truly saw Pan Yi's ability.
He doesn't panic when he falls behind, and makes timely and accurate adjustments. Indeed, his understanding of tactics and on-the-spot command have reached the world's top level.
Therefore, although he was defeated, An Pang has always admired Pan Yi.
Of course, he is also eager to compete with Pan Yi again and strive for revenge!
And today, the opportunity finally came.
But Ancelotti also knows very well that Pan Yi is now leading Chelsea, which is a stronger team than Hamburg.
In the Premier League where there are so many strong opponents, they have won the championship like never before and broken a bunch of records. They are definitely opponents that cannot be underestimated.
And how could Juventus, whom they easily defeated in the quarterfinals, be a no-brainer?
Therefore, this time, Real Madrid must be careful and careful again!
"They can attack strongly in away games, but they can defend against counterattacks at home. Their tactics are difficult to predict, which also shows that Chelsea's tactics are very flexible." Zidane said at the side.
This star of France, Juventus and Real Madrid was Ancelotti's assistant coach last year, so he naturally saw how good Pan Yi was.
This year, although he served as the head coach of Castilla, Real Madrid's second team, to play in the second tier of Spanish football, Ancelotti still needs his advice in key battles.
Therefore, in fact, Zidane still serves as the assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team.
"This is also the most difficult thing about them. They have both offense and defense, flexible tactics, and are very changeable even on the field. The players are all versatile, which makes it a headache to deal with." Ancelotti also felt the same way.
Football's targeted tactics are nothing more than finding the opponent's weaknesses and then using your own strong players to attack them.
To give a simple example, when you play against Liverpool at this point in time in reality, which of their weaknesses will you target?
That, of course, was Route 66, which Arnold guarded.
Almost every coach will send his best left winger with the strongest breakthrough ability, and then attack Arnold for a while, which will usually produce good results.
But the problem is that if the opponent's players are all very capable, or you are not sure which of the opponent's players will appear in which position, it will be difficult to deploy such a target.
That's what this Chelsea is like.
Which of their players is particularly weak? Which position is particularly problematic defensively? It seems difficult to have a clear answer.
Moreover, even if some Chelsea players are in poor condition or have bad luck on a certain day, the team will fall behind...
But Pan Yi could always discover these problems and immediately change them with his magical on-the-spot command.
In fact, Pan Yi almost lost many games this season, but in the end he changed his fate.
"Pan Yi is the one who loves details the most among the head coaches I have ever seen. If we want to beat him, there is no room for mistakes. We must work hard on the details."
Ancelotti's words were unanimously recognized by the surrounding assistants.
This is actually pretty much how the outside world evaluates Pan Yi.
Pan Yi is still the thinnest!
"Although it is a home game, it doesn't matter that we can look ugly. We can even play chaotically and destroy the opponent's rhythm and ball control."
Although Real Madrid's current lineup is very prosperous, and the BBC + Ceremony midfield combination can be said to be invincible, controlling the ball has never been what they are good at.
Their most commonly used magic weapon to win is to quickly pass through the midfield and defeat their opponents with extremely efficient and fast counterattacks!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale's two-hundred-million-dollar fortune is no joke.
It can also be said that when facing today's Chelsea, Real Madrid should be at a disadvantage in terms of rhythm control and passing and possession of the ball.
Therefore, Ancelotti simply did nothing and disrupted the rhythm and passing control.
Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, although a bit barbaric, is his best tactic.
After all, even at the Bernabeu, even if Real Madrid is playing at home, they really have no confidence in competing with Chelsea for possession of the ball and midfield control.
Juventus’ 0:3 home defeat to Chelsea was a lesson!
"After the rhythm was disrupted, in addition to counterattack, we also had something we could rely on, which was set pieces."
Ancelotti said this and looked around the assistant team: "In the past few days, we will focus on practicing defensive counterattacks and set-piece tactics."
"Understood." The assistants agreed in unison.
Everyone can see that Ancelotti places the set piece in a crucial position that determines victory or defeat.
Defensive counterattack is what Real Madrid is best at, but Chelsea is not bad either. Pan Yi must have been ready for it.
Therefore, Ancelotti must be prepared with both hands, or a variety of winning strategies.
In his opinion, whether they can beat Chelsea depends on whether their set-piece tactics can work.
"Defensively, Chelsea's trident will be difficult."
Ancelotti pointed to the screen that had just finished playing the game video: "You have also seen that Juventus's defense cannot stop Chelsea's trident. Bernardo Silva and Hazard are very flexible, and Lukaku
And very strong.”
Not to mention seat B, he is a versatile midfielder, or a model of attacking midfielder.
Hazard's dribbling and passing, and even his shooting, have always been Chelsea's weapons for attacking.
Lukaku's growth this season is also impressive.
The difficult relationship between these two Belgians has long been known to everyone in European football.
Especially Lukaku, because he has the body and strength of a traditional high forward, but he is also very fast. Now under the guidance of Pan Yi, he has evolved various skills such as fulcrum, retracement, and ball play. It is simply
Impeccable.
It can be said that Lukaku now has a strong dominance in the penalty area. Any defender will have a headache if he encounters such a fool.
"We need someone to freeze Lukaku," Zidane said.
Several other assistants around him looked embarrassed.
If Lukaku was so easy to defend, he wouldn't be a headache for every team in Europe.
Normally, every forward has weaknesses.
Some are slower, some are less able to compete for the top, some are not good at shooting, some are anxious in dribbling, and some are not good at reading the game and easily fall into the offside trap...
But this Lukaku is really like a hexagonal warrior, he can do anything.
"How about Pepe? He performed very well in the league last night." A tactical analyst suggested, "And he is strong, runs actively, fights fiercely, and plays football with great blood. He should be able to deal with Luka.
Library."
But Zidane glanced at Ancelotti and was a little worried: "Can he bear it? He is already 32 years old and may not be able to withstand a 100 kilogram center like Lukaku."
Ancelotti nodded and said: "Defending Lukaku requires a ninety-minute protracted battle. I am really afraid that Pepe will not be able to hold on to the end. But what I am more afraid of is that if the defense does not go well, his recklessness will inevitably
Causing problems for the team."
Why is Pepe called the "Warrior Monk"? Everyone is still a bit confused.
His accurate positioning and excellent header ability can often defuse the opponent's offense, but at the same time, his fiery temper and aggressive style of play are also criticized.
Moreover, his temper can easily be exploited, and Real Madrid has suffered a lot.
Back in the 2011-2012 season, when AC Milan met Real Madrid in the Champions League, Ibrahimovic used some tricks to get Pepe sent off, which ultimately led to Real Madrid's defeat.
Although Real Madrid's head coach was Mourinho instead of Ancelotti at the time, Ancelotti had to guard against this move!
After all, I heard later that Pan Yi taught Ibu Yin Peipei the trick.
Moreover, it is hard to say who is more difficult to guard against now than Lukaku or Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic has better shooting skills and body flexibility, but Lukaku is faster and stronger.
If Pepe really can't hold it anymore and gets angry and does it again, it will be over.
"You mean... to use Ramos to defend?" Zidane asked.
"No, use Varane," Ancelotti said.
The reason why Ramos is not needed to defend is simply because Ramos's temper is not very good either.
Varane is much better.
To be continued...
