Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ground Football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him. Chapter 738 The reason for revealing the secret is that we have an ace. Triguera was even interested in analyzing his tactical ideas with the media: "The Spanish team has excellent footwork and strong midfield control."

"Although their attacks down the flanks are also very strong, we believe the core driving force of their formation comes from the midfield."

"Therefore, we arranged for two defensive midfielders and two attacking midfielders."

"Our three forwards, along with our left and right wingers, will all drop back to participate in defense. Theoretically, we have six players deployed in midfield!"

One reporter expressed concern about this lineup: "But by doing so, you're dismantling Mourinho's Champions League-winning defense!"

Triguera laughed and said, "Maniche, Costinha, Carvalho, Pepe's positions, including Deco's, haven't changed much from their club positions. They'll adapt to each other."

"Kilop is the cornerstone of the defense in any rebuilding effort, and I trust his abilities."

"Porto's Champions League-winning defense hasn't disappeared; it's just reappeared in the team in another form."

Reporter: "But what about defending the flanks? Vicente, Etxeberria, and even Joaquín, these Spanish wingers have all performed exceptionally well previously."

Trigra: "I admit I didn't do a good job of figuring out their thinking. But since I can't solve it, let them be."

"Similarly, I also believe they can't handle Duncan and Figo! I have great confidence in our wing attacks."

"Because we have the most efficient offensive player in the world for the last two seasons... Duncan!"

"Averaging one goal per game, leading to a 1-0 lead, and contributing over 100 goals in a single season. I would love to see the Spanish team and us exchanging attacks on the flanks."

"Please give them a message... I wish them good luck!"

Trigra arrogantly ended the press conference.

But no one thought there was anything wrong with his attitude.

Because everyone is seriously considering the feasibility of the Triglavian tactic.

Bild: "No more pretense! Triglas is showing his cards, because he holds the ace!"

Kicker: "Victory on the wings? While the Spanish media might argue that Vicente and Etxeberria are no less skilled than Ronaldo on the wings, they can't convince themselves that these two players are better than Duncan!"

Record: "Straight ball! Attack! World's number one winger, Deng Kai, returns, defying Spain's wing duo!"

Sky Sports: "The King Returns! Deng Kai Returns to Portugal's Starting Lineup, Preemptively Announcing His Intense Attack on Spain's Wings!"

Gazzetta dello Sport: "Deng Kai's presence on the front line, rather than as an attacking midfielder, demonstrates Portugal's determination to score! It set the tone for the match!"

Marca: "With four defenders and two holding midfielders, Spain has forged an ironclad defense, and this time they certainly won't give Duncan any chance to make a difference!"

The related discussions were very heated.

Spain invited Guardiola as the commentator for this match.

There was nothing I could do; they gave me too much.

Guagua couldn't resist.

As soon as Guagua entered the studio, he knew it would be difficult.

Because everyone wanted him to say that Spain could beat Portugal.

But as a member of Manchester City's coaching staff, with the same core players and tactical roots as the Portuguese national team, Guardiola knew better than anyone how much of a chance Portugal had of winning this match.

"Um... well... I think... actually..." After several attempts to decline, Guardiola finally gave the Spanish team a small hint: "Currently, Spain's midfield is mainly composed of the same players from Valencia."

"I'm not saying they're not good, but... after all, they have the UEFA Cup final to play in."

"As it turns out, they had no way to control Deng Kai."

"Instead of having two defensive stalwarts who can't stop Deng Kai in midfield, it would be better to send in a more attacking midfielder to truly organize Spain's own attack."

"For example, Xabi Alonso of Real Sociedad, Xavi of Barcelona, ​​Fabregas of Manchester City, Joaquín of Real Betis, and so on."

"An attacking strategy might offer a glimmer of hope. After all, we have a significant advantage in goal, and I personally believe Casillas can help the team make up for the gap of one or two goals!"

Guardiola's sincere advice.

He did not name Torres and Villa.

However, if the team makes adjustments in midfield, Torres's appearance will be inevitable, given the players' characteristics.

Considering the chemistry, Villa has a good chance of coming off the bench.

However, this means that Spain will only have a few players left in their original starting lineup.

This is going to offend people.

Guardiola played it safe.

However, the starting lineup announced later by the Spanish team did not change.

The head coach this year once again chose the most famous players.

Instead of employing those newly emerging supernovas.

Morientes, Raul

Vicente, Albelda, Baraja, Etxeberria

Bravo, Marchena, Helguera, Puyol

Casillas

=

This lineup was actually a targeted adjustment against the Portuguese team.

Bravo is Real Madrid's starting center-back this season.

Puyol is Barcelona's starting center-back.

But now they're on the left and the right.

The center-back is positioned on the wing.

This undoubtedly greatly strengthens the defense on the flanks.

Moreover, both players have experience as full-backs, so there's no possibility of them being unaccustomed to playing on the flanks.

However, this actually reduces the support the two wingers receive.

To some extent, this reduced Spain's offensive capabilities down the flanks.

This is completely contrary to Guardiola's thinking.

To put it bluntly, the Spanish team is still somewhat afraid of Deng Kai.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

When facing a strong offensive player, the first thing to think about is defense.

If they can stop Deng Kai, this Portuguese team can't even beat the Greek team, okay?

Only Guardiola let out a sigh in the studio.

The team Manchester City under his leadership is least afraid of teams that play defensively.

If you give Manchester City plenty of time to control the ball and organize their play, then Manchester City can send all eleven players into your half.

With so many running tactics, plus the flashes of brilliance from Deng Kai and other key players, is it really that hard to create attacking opportunities?

What Manchester City is really afraid of is the total football style of the Netherlands, or the chaotic, disruptive style of play.

In short, it's all about being tough!

It's not that you can guarantee a win by being aggressive, but being aggressive could lead to Manchester City losing players.

This is the only way Guardiola believes can beat Manchester City.

If you can get most of Manchester City's key players and substitutes injured, you can beat Manchester City.

Of course, Manchester City boasts 22 key players.

In other words, you need to injure at least twelve Manchester City players!

Portugal has a better squad, but they are not as mature as Manchester City.

Theoretically, three to five players should be enough to cover the damage.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
