Chapter 90: Tactical theory and star theory!
"Rejecting penalty kicks will make you the focus of comments from major media. Some people think that your behavior can give Real Madrid the upper hand in morale, what do you think about this?"
Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Our morale is indeed very high now, but it seems to have nothing to do with this matter. Morale is a very complicated thing, and a word or a thing can affect morale. I have not seen what you said."
Tang Jue wanted to try his best to downplay the matter of refusing to penalty kicks. It was meaningless to over-explain this matter. He never thought of establishing a tall and brilliant image in front of the media. Johnson exposed his billionaire in the media, which took him a lot of energy to resolve the knots in his teammates' hearts.
If he exaggerates this matter too much, he is afraid that he will make his teammates feel troubled. What others say is the opinion of others, and he doesn't want to praise himself.
A reporter from Milan Sports asked: "Refuse the penalty, have you ever been blamed by your teammates after you return to the locker room?"
After the first leg of Real Madrid and Manchester United, Tang Jue returned to the locker room and had an argument with Fanny. The club's senior management quickly issued a ban. Calderon wanted to use this incident to establish Tang Jue's tall image, how could he make people destroy it?
Tang Jue thought for a while and said vaguely: "Our locker room is very united, and there will never be any discordant sounds. The battle is imminent, and what we are thinking about is how to defeat our opponents."
Milan Sports Knows that he doesn't want to answer this question, and he doesn't ask. On the one hand, Tang Jue's relationship with Milan is extraordinary. He helped Milan win the Champions League for two consecutive years, achieved the glory of the Milan Dynasty and had extremely high popularity in Italy. On the other hand, Milan Sports Knows that Tang Jue is a revenge person and he does not want to break the good relationship he had established before.
...
On April 8, the second leg of the quarter-final semi-finals began.
Liverpool defeated Arsenal four-to-two at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5-3. One hour after their game ended. Barcelona defeated Schalke 04 with Messi's goal at home, and scored 2-0 in total score, and advanced to the semi-finals with a strong score of 2-0.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Rijkaard what he thought about the match between Manchester United and Real Madrid. The Barcelona coach said: "People are concerned about the team's superficial strength, not the potential strength. From the superficial strength, Manchester United has the advantage, but Real Madrid's potential strength is stronger."
"And don't forget that Real Madrid has Don, who is a player who is good at stimulating teammates' morale. He often performs well in major games. If you underestimate him, you will suffer the bitter fruit."
The Daily Telegraph asked dissatisfiedly: "So, are you more optimistic about Real Madrid?"
Rijkald nodded and said, "Yes, I'm optimistic about Real Madrid!"
The next day, Marca hyped what Rijkaard said at the post-match press conference, saying: "The Barcelona coach is optimistic that Real Madrid will beat Manchester United away, and believes that Don will dominate the second leg of the game between the two sides."
The Daily Telegraph said: "In order not to offend Real Madrid fans, the Barcelona coach believes that Real Madrid can eliminate Manchester United and advance to the semi-finals. Manchester United players, you must use your actions to counterattack the Barcelona coach!"
The team newspaper did not participate in this battle of words. They said in their pre-match analysis: Real Madrid and Manchester United met four times in the Champions League, Real Madrid won one win, two losses and one draw at Old Trafford. The only victory occurred in the 67-68 season. They defeated their opponents one-zero away games.
The latest encounter was in the 2003-04 season, Real Madrid lost three to four, but they advanced with a total score of seven to four, eliminating Manchester United into the quarterfinals. In that game, Ronnie scored a hat trick, becoming his classic match in Real Madrid's Champions League.
In the first leg, Real Madrid must make a determination to win. Otherwise, they will turn their heads at Old Trafford. If Manchester United does not want to repeat the mistakes they had last year and lose at Don't, the only way is to freeze him in the game. Scholes' defense in the first leg was to succeed most of the time, but he still failed to completely contain it, allowing him to break through Manchester United's goal through a quick counterattack.
When returning to home, Manchester United will definitely come up with other ways to curb the highest-priced striker in the world today. For Don, this is a game to prove himself. He once said that Maradona is his role model. Now Real Madrid needs him to take out 12% of his ability to lead the team to climb the Manchester United mountain.
This will surely be a wonderful game. The powerful Manchester United will prove their strength at home, and Tang will achieve his bold statement at the beginning of the season and lead the team to the tenth trophy of the Champions League.
...
German Photo News analyzed: Yesterday, Sir Ferguson said in an interview with British media that he would not use the defensive strategy of the previous game and sent someone to guard Don. He did not explain the reason behind it. Our reporter interviewed Matthews and said: "It is appropriate for Sir Ferguson to make such a change, because no one can freeze Don within 90 minutes. The last game has fully explained this truth."
"I think his idea is to let more people defend Don. Whenever he gets the ball, the few Manchester United players closest to the ball will immediately form a siege."
In the last game, when he refused to take a penalty, Don became the object of praise from the world. Last season, Milan came to Old Trafford Stadium, and Don was booed by Manchester United fans. Will this be like this this time? Yesterday, our reporter randomly interviewed fifteen Manchester United fans on the street, eleven of whom made it clear that they would not booed Don, two of them clearly stated that if Don performed well, they would give applause. The other four fans replied, "I haven't thought about it yet."
It seems that Tang refused to play the penalty, so he could not play in boo.
For Don, this game is not only about Real Madrid's promotion, but also about his battle with the "anti-Tang League". If Real Madrid is unfortunately eliminated by Manchester United, he will be greeted with overwhelming ridicule and ridicule. Even the matter of his refusal to penalty kicks will be used to make a case.
Tang still performed very confidently before the game. Yesterday at 11:00 a.m., he said in an interview at Mantester International Airport that Old Trafford Stadium is his blessed place and that he will lead Real Madrid to a victory.
The game is about to start tonight, and everyone is paying attention to Old Trafford Stadium. Is it his blessed place?
...
As soon as the Lord's words came out, the British media and the Madrid regional media immediately had a war of words.
The Daily Telegraph praised Sir Joseph's tactics: not sending a dedicated person to defend the ball bull, which shows that Sir Ferguson is quite confident in his defensive system and does not take the ball bull seriously at all. The ball bull must have tasted the pain at Old Trafford Stadium, and he will definitely not be able to tear away Manchester United's tight defense!
Madrid TV retorted: This just shows that Sir Ferguson attaches importance to Don. He believes that one person cannot be frozen, so he sent more people to defend and double-teamed. Don has encountered this situation many times in previous games, and Manchester United defenders will definitely not be able to freeze him!
...
The two sides started a war of words about whether Tang Jue could be frozen.
In order to let all fans see the last two Champions League quarterfinals, UEFA will schedule Chelsea's match against Fenerbahce in the afternoon, while Manchester United and Real Madrid will schedule the match at night.
The Magic Bird was unhappy with such arrangements, and he said at a pre-match press conference held in the morning: "Why should our game be arranged in the afternoon, not in the evening? I have opinions on UEFA's arrangements!"
"Is Manchester United and Real Madrid's game more exciting than ours? I don't think so!"
A reporter said: "Real Madrid has Don, Manchester United has Cristiano Ronaldo. They have many fans around the world. UEFA's arrangement makes sense."
The Magic Bird shook his head and said, "Actually, they are not amazing. Modern football depends on the whole, and the role of stars is gradually decreasing. To achieve good results, a team is more important to tactics, not stars."
Magic Bird absolutely did not expect that his "tactic theory" triggered a big discussion.
The Magic Birds left the press conference in London, and the coaches of Real Madrid and Manchester United appeared at the press conference in Manchester City. The Magic Birds' "tactical theory" was raised by reporters. Schuster thought for a while and said: "I support Mourinho's point of view. The era of Maradona carrying a team alone has passed, and now is an era of holistic attention."
Ferguson also expressed his support: "Stars must integrate into the team's tactical system to better play their abilities."
Madrid TV station refuted the Magic Birds' remarks at noon: "Mr. Mourinho made a 'tactic theory' because he was dissatisfied with UEFA's arrangements. This station did not agree with his remarks. Any tactics were completed by players. In the 1970s, the Netherlands' full attack and defense would not have been popular all over the world without Cruyff.
Since Cruyff retired, which team can play all attacks and defenses?
In the 1986 World Cup, Argentina dominated Mexico. Without Maradona, could Bilardo's tactics succeed?
Let’s talk about what happened in recent years. Since the Champions League reform, only Milan has won the championship again. In addition, Milan created many miracles in Serie A last season, and they both lost in Serie A and the Champions League this season. What does this mean?
When Milan won two Champions League trophys, the conservative Ancelotti changed his obsession in many games and played offensive football. That's because Milan has a "terror trio", which swept across Europe. If there is no "terror trio", will Ancelotti play offensive football?
After Don left Milan, Milan quickly fell, which fully demonstrated the importance of a star. Real Madrid's fate of being eliminated in the first round of the Champions League in the previous three years, and the main change was because of Don't.
All of this shows that the role of a star is higher than that of tactics. A good coach must have several sets of tactics in his mind, and each set of tactics must be formulated based on the player's ability. The purpose of each set of tactics is to maximize the player's ability!"
Some people call Madrid TV a "star theory". For a long time afterwards, a big discussion on the European continent started, which involved many active and retired stars and coaches. Tang Jue was not spared, and he was also caught in it.
Obviously, his remarks were criticized by the "Anti-Tang Alliance".
