Chapter 1041 Dong Fangzhuo’s Secretly Changed Left Foot
"We haven't beaten Real Madrid for many years and we need to do something at home." At the press conference, Atletico Madrid coach Florence expressed his desire to defeat Real Madrid.
"There is no doubt that Tottenham's performance at home gives us hope. And Real Madrid is short of major players, so we have great hope at home."
A reporter from China's "Sports Weekly" was also at the press conference, and he asked a question about Feng Renliang.
"Will Feng play in the game?"
"Of course, he plays on the left wing."
"We need his sharp breakthrough."
Feng Renliang plays left winger, which means that Feng Renliang is really going to have sex with Arbeloa.
"Do you have any special tactics to deal with Dong?"
"We will not specifically defend him because we are a team and the players will consciously cooperate well in regional defense. Atletico Madrid's overall defense is stronger than Tottenham."
"But Tottenham don't rely on defense, right?"
Florence's face looked a little ugly for a moment...
He then announced the starting lineup:
Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defenders: Ujfalusi, Godin, Domingos, Felipe
Midfielder: Reyes, Thiago, Mario Suarez, Feng Renliang
Forwards: Aguero, Forlan
Subsequently, Real Madrid also held a press conference. There were more reporters here and it was almost impossible to squeeze in.
This time, Real Madrid went into battle with a weak force and could not fight with all their main force. Many people want to watch the excitement and want to know how Mourinho will arrange his troops.
The reporter's question from "World Sports News" was full of irony, "Mr. Mourinho, Alonso, Pepe, Khedira, and Benzema are all unable to play. Can you still use your three-midfielder strategy?"
Mourinho snorted coldly and added for the reporter, "You missed one player. In fact, Modric can't play either."
Wow,
The whole audience was in an uproar. If even Modric couldn't play, wouldn't Real Madrid be sucked out of the cauldron?
Doesn't that mean that only one Ras Diarra can play? This guy hasn't been able to play in a game for a long time, and Ozil and Di Maria's defensive abilities are so poor. Who else does Real Madrid have in the midfield?
I have to say that Real Madrid did encounter great difficulties.
"I'm not worried about who plays for Real Madrid because every player is always ready to play. This Real Madrid tonight is no different from the Real Madrid we usually play."
I believe you, now that there are so many players missing, how can you still play Real Madrid?
After Mourinho announced the starting lineup, the reporters were even more stunned.
Because the list is really surprising, Real Madrid has almost no defensive midfielders!
433!
Goalkeeper: Casillas
Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Carvalho, Marcelo
Midfielder: Ozil, Dong Fangzhuo, Di Maria
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Morata, Jesé
"Mr. Mourinho, is this your starting lineup?"
Even Las Diarra wasn't in the starting lineup! In the middle is Dong Fangzhuo. On the forward line, it turns out that Jese and Morata are on the stage. Can these two young people help Real Madrid score goals?
"Yeah, that's my starting lineup."
※※※※
Subsequently, the whole world was buzzing about Real Madrid's starting lineup.
Real Madrid fans were horrified, "With this lineup, how can we beat Atletico Madrid? Mourinho is seeking death! At least put Las Diarra on, this is a rhythm that will tire out the Chinese director." Ah, besides, China Dong’s defensive ability is not good either, what on earth are you doing!”
"It's so risky at this juncture. Does Mourinho think Real Madrid has stayed at the top of the standings for too long? Do you really want to give Barcelona a chance to overtake? No one in the midfield or frontcourt can defend!"
"While you can still change the starting lineup, change them as soon as possible. I'm not optimistic that Real Madrid can win in the away game. There are a lot of problems on the right side. If this happens again, I really can't imagine..."
Even Real Madrid fans have no confidence anymore.
Not to mention other fans.
Atletico Madrid fans and Barcelona fans are the happiest.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha,"
"I'm laughing to death. Mu Niao must be crazy. Is he an undercover agent sent by Barcelona to Real Madrid? How can I play with this lineup? Can Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid at home? What can I do if the defensive ability of the three midfielders is so poor? Competing with Atletico?"
"3:0, Atletico Madrid must win Real Madrid 3:0 at home. Real Madrid can withstand the first half, which is already quite good. It is useless to have Chinese Dong and Cristiano Ronaldo. This is a team with three different characteristics. , completely unbalanced offensively and defensively, unable to defend from behind, and unable to score from the front. How old are Morata and Jese combined?"
Fans are not optimistic, and neither are experts or celebrities.
Morientes of National Radio 5 bombarded: "I finally understand. Mourinho is suitable for defensive counterattacks. Let him attack? I can't imagine it. I asked too much... He arranged his troops in such a way." , both offense and defense will eventually have problems."
Stojkov also bluntly said: "This starting lineup is very naive. Does this mean that Atletico Madrid is not looked down upon? No need to think about it, Real Madrid will definitely be beaten. Barcelona's opportunity has finally come, now I only pray for Mourinho There will be no last-minute substitutions. Even at the Bernabeu, this lineup is not enough to compete with Atletico Madrid."
However, one person's analysis is different from everyone else's, and that is Barcelona's godfather Cruyff.
When he saw this first start, Cruyff let out a light sigh, and then posted a short comment on his personal column.
"Mourinho put the Chinese director in the middle of the midfield. This is not the first time he has done this, but as a midfield commander, it is the most important time. There is almost no depth protection on both sides and behind. Dare to do this under the circumstances, then the only bargaining chip is the Chinese director. Tonight, he will take on the important task of Real Madrid's offensive and defensive transition. Maybe he made the right bet? Success is a huge discovery, failure If so, Mourinho may lose everything."
In the locker room, Mourinho has been busy. He constantly reiterated the tactical content assigned this afternoon and talked with almost every starting player.
Yes, he's taking risks, he's gambling.
All his chips are on Dong Fangzhuo. Widespread injuries and suspensions have caused him to lose too many main players. His most trustworthy player can only be Dong Fangzhuo.
When everything was ready, he stood at the door of the locker room in advance to see off his disciples...
The Calderon Stadium was packed. There were only 5,000 fans here to support Real Madrid today, but this small piece of white ocean was still very eye-catching. But in terms of sound, they should not think about making a sound. From beginning to end, the voices of Atletico Madrid fans overwhelmed them.
"It's dangerous today."
"I don't know what Mourinho thinks."
"I feel very anxious now..."
Real Madrid fans were on edge from the start.
Huang Jianxiang, the AV commentator in the live broadcast room, was also very puzzled and didn't understand why Mourinho arranged such a lineup.
"It stands to reason that Mourinho is a very conservative coach, but what happened to him today?"
"In fact, Las Diarra should be allowed to play. If we can't increase the number of people in the midfield, we can just play 451. Playing this 433 is really unsafe. Atletico Madrid's 442 will probably defeat them directly."
"But if Mourinho dares to do this, he naturally has his own ideas."
"What's more, Real Madrid has always had the advantage in derby games. Real Madrid has achieved 12 wins and 6 draws in the past 18 league games between the two sides and remains unbeaten, including 7 wins and 2 draws in 9 away games. The last time Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid was in 1999 . There have been 150 historical matches between the two sides in the league. Real Madrid has the upper hand with 82 wins, 32 draws and 36 losses, including 30 wins, 20 draws and 24 losses in away games."
"Today is also our China Derby. Both Feng Renliang and Dong Fangzhuo started. This is the second time they compete on the same field. In the first confrontation, both sides performed very well. They were the best players of the two teams. , both of them are equally worthy of our expectations today!”
"Now, players from both sides have appeared."
"Real Madrid players were booed endlessly, even Dong Fangzhuo was no exception!"
"But this lacks too much respect for Real Madrid, because there will be a simple moment of silence for Adrian Escudero. The Atletico Madrid legend passed away at the age of 83 at the beginning of this month."
Sure enough, the Atletico Madrid fans quickly quieted down and were not so ignorant. The audience began to observe a minute of silence, and then the battle officially started!
Beep——
Real Madrid took the lead.
Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball to Jose, who knocked the ball to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo did not almost rush in with the ball, but held the ball in place, waited for Marcelo to come up, and then distributed the ball.
Marcelo galloped on the left and quickly hoisted the ball into Atletico Madrid's penalty area. The ball with almost no arc quickly rushed into the back point. Cristiano Ronaldo actually grabbed the landing spot on the right side of the penalty area and leaned on it. Felipe volleyed at the same time!
The ball went straight out to the near corner.
"The Royal Horse launched a swift attack, and Cristiano Ronaldo's volley missed the near corner!"
"Dong Fangzhuo did not follow up in time and was still in the midfield."
"This shows that his main task today is offensive organization."
"Although it is a sad battle, Real Madrid seems to be in good spirits."
Atletico Madrid began to organize their offense, and they still made fuss along the wing. Domingos passed the ball directly to the feet of Reyes on the right. Reyes passed the ball directly. Forlan beat Ramos to header a little and pointed the ball behind Carvalho. Aguero moved at an obvious speed. Half a beat faster than Carvalho, and similar to Ronaldo's shooting position just now, Aguero also won the ball and directly volleyed, but only because of Carvalho's interference, Aguero also missed the ball.
"Both sides had a shot on goal, but neither one scored."
"Now it's Real Madrid's turn to organize the attack. Dong Fangzhuo got the ball. He didn't rush forward. Instead, he took a few steps back to control the rhythm. It's rare to see him return to this position. He always cooperated with Ramos. Got it!"
The position was indeed very deep, and Aguero even rushed to him. Dong Fangzhuo calmly handed the ball to Arbeloa, and then ran over. Aguero missed it, and Dong Fangzhuo received the ball again. Then keep moving forward with the ball.
Ozil on the right was not in a hurry to run up, and the pace was very slow.
Real Madrid has never played such a slow-paced game this season, but Real Madrid fans saw it today.
Mario Suarez in the center and Feng Renliang on the wing both ran over at the same time, but Dong Fangzhuo suddenly pushed the ball forward.
He just wants to attract more players!
The ball went to Cristiano Ronaldo, who immediately faced Domingos after taking the ball. He continued to feint while pedaling his bicycle and then changed direction to the middle. Domingos was induced to foul! Stretching his legs, he directly put Ronaldo down on the turf.
Frontcourt set piece.
"So far, Mourinho's tactics are quite successful. He lets Dong Fangzhuo control the rhythm in the midfield and then waits for opportunities."
"This time we can let Dong Fangzhuo do his best. He can take a kick."
Atletico Madrid fans were unhappy in the stands.
"Is Ronaldo diving?"
"Is this Real Madrid's tactics?"
“A foul in the frontcourt and then a free kick to score?”
"Hey, what are you talking about? De Gea is not a decoration, calm down!"
The position was not very good. After Dong Fangzhuo observed it, he still chose to hit the goal directly. He fired an instep kick with his left foot. The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal, but the angle was still not tricky enough. De Gea directly took the ball away.
But Huang Jianxiang discovered a problem.
"Did you notice that Dong Fangzhuo actually kicked a free kick with his left foot?"
"I've never seen this before. His dominant foot is his right foot, and his left foot shooting is also very good. But taking a free kick? This is his first time!"
The more I talk about it, the more excited I get!
After Huang Jianxiang reminded him, Chinese fans also discovered the problem.
"I'm so stupid,"
"Really, I've never seen him kick a free kick with his left foot before. Could it be that he has secretly developed his left-footed free kick technique? It's terrible."
"But it seems there is still a certain gap with the right foot. It is not as tricky as the right foot."
"Anyway, he is trying to become more comprehensive. Think about it, if you can kick with both left and right feet, then you can shoot directly from any position? It doesn't matter whether you can kick a free kick in front of the penalty area."
At the same time, many Real Madrid fans also discovered this strange behavior, and they also started discussing it.
"Just now, did Dong shoot with his left foot?"
"Oh my god, I really saw that right."
The information released by Dong Fangzhuo was so shocking that even Lineker, the commentator of England's Sky Sports, was surprised.
He is a big fan of Dong Fangzhuo, and his reaction is no less than that of Huang Jianxiang.
"Dong, his left foot, he was actually kicking a free kick with his left foot. I asked him why his position was so weird just now. It turned out that he was using his left foot."
"So, he is already training to kick free kicks with his left foot, and he has achieved some results. It's terrible. How abnormal would it be if he could kick terrifying leaves or elevator balls with his left and right feet?"
"But what he just kicked was a curve ball?"
"The right foot lifts or leaves, and the left foot kicks a curve ball. This picture..."
