Chapter 593 Revisiting Blue Bridge
After a frightening weekend, Real Madrid ushered in their first training session in the new week.
The return of captain Ramos has greatly stabilized the uneasy emotions of the players, and they are actively preparing for the game against Chelsea two days later.
The physical and mental fatigue brought to the players by double matches a week is alluded to on the training ground.
Throughout the morning, the overall excitement of the Real Madrid players was not high enough, and the results of various ability tests declined from usual.
For this reason, Pintus frowned.
In order to better restore the player's condition, all training sessions in the afternoon were stopped and replaced with physical therapy for players to recover from physical fatigue.
Benzema once again felt the oriental mysterious totem, more than a dozen purple and black circular patterns emerged on his back.
Cupping is one of Benzema's favorite treatments.
There is no need to specially invite outside Chinese medicine practitioners, Rossi has made a set for him.
"Luo, you are amazing, you can do this."
After the physical therapy, Benzema enjoyed the pain of cupping and felt happy.
"Nothing, only familiar hands!"
Cupping is actually not difficult, as long as it is aimed at the acupuncture points on the back.
Since he was a child, he watched the uncle next door give people cupping, and he learned it over time, as a family physiotherapy technique.
This is just elementary cupping, which belongs to Wen.
There is also a Wu cupping method, which is the so-called "walking cupping".
It is necessary to push back and forth on the part to be pulled out until the skin of the part to be pulled out is rosy, congested, or even bruised, and the can is removed.
Rossi gave a small test, and Benzema screamed. Seeing Benzema's painful and happy expression, his teammates were eager to try.
"If you want to try it, go take a shower first, and then line up!"
Formal physiotherapy has become a regimen.
In the training session on Tuesday morning, the status of Real Madrid players has improved and the quality of training has improved, which made Zidane very pleased.
After a short lunch break, all members of Real Madrid took the bus from the training base to the airport.
In order to better prepare for the game, Real Madrid arrived in London one day in advance to save the players from the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
The pre-match training session also chooses a stadium near the hotel.
At this stage, Real Madrid's tactics are mature and there are not many changes.
The only change is the defensive problem that plagued Zidane.
In the second half of the season, Real Madrid's defense suffered a serious wave of injuries.
Except for Nacho in the defense, the defenders were unable to play one after another due to injuries.
Ramos' return from the line of fire has solved Zidane's most troublesome problem at the moment, but it does not mean that Real Madrid can sit back and relax.
Whether Ramos, who has just turned 35, can perform stably in the first game after returning from injury, no one dares to guarantee.
This is also Mendy's first game after returning from injury.
For such an important game, Zidane had to think twice.
On Wednesday morning, the day of the game, Zidane announced the start of the game.
Goalkeeper: Courtois.
Defense: Ferland Mendy, Ramos, Militao, Nacho.
Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Modric.
Forwards: Rossi, Benzema, Gareth Bale.
This lineup does not seem to be much different from before, but Zidane made some targeted tactical adjustments.
The first is the adjustment of the defense line. Ramos appeared in the relatively unfamiliar position of the central defender.
Because the only loophole in Real Madrid's current defense is Nacho's right wing.
Considering that Militang can hit the sidelines, Zidane let him, who is more physically fit, go to the right center back position to help Nacho guard the right.
As a lagging central defender, Ramos, Zidane's requirement for him is not to rush up easily and leave the defensive position.
For the three midfielders, Zidane didn't give much advice, he just asked them to give more attention to defense.
Casemiro has the ability to attack from behind. In this game, try not to play if you can't.
As for the BBL combination on the front line, this game is also based on defense.
When necessary, return to the backcourt and participate in the defense.
Zidane's arrangement is undoubtedly a defensive style of play, and it is quite conservative.
In terms of speed and assault ability, Vinicius and Rodrigo are even better.
Zidane would rather give up the speed of the counterattack than stabilize the situation with defense. It can be seen that Chelsea's offense has brought Real Madrid a lot of trouble.
Valverde, who has been in hot form recently, has not entered the starting list, but he can serve as Zidane's backup and come off the bench in the second half.
At 06:30 in the afternoon, the buses of both sides arrived at the gate of the Stamford Bridge Stadium on time, and entered the stadium to warm up under the cheers of the fans.
Five years have passed since the last visit to the Blue Bridge, when Leicester City defeated their opponents with goals from Rossi and Vardy.
It is precisely because of this victory that it became the fuse for Mourinho's dismissal.
Chelsea fans have not been kind to Rossi.
Not only the hostile relationship in this game, Rossi has a nickname, which makes Chelsea fans deeply afraid.
"King of London!"
Against teams from London, Rossi always scored and won.
What really made this nickname famous was that Rossi directed two massacres against teams from London in the UEFA Champions League on behalf of Bayern.
11:3, 11:4!
The two dazzling scores have made Arsenal and Tottenham fans still hard to let go.
As the team with the highest winning percentage in the London derby, Chelsea will defend the sky of London to the death.
Pixie shows up in the VIP room to watch the game.
Tuchel made two adjustments to the starting lineup.
The first is to adjust the formation to 3-4-2-1 and strengthen the offense in the midfield.
Then the teenager Havertz replaced Pulisic in the starting lineup.
In addition to the regular three central defenders switching five defenders, Chelsea will present an irregular 4-3-3 when attacking.
Due to Kanter's large defensive coverage, Chelsea's offensive direction in this game is on the left.
Rudiger came to the left-back position, allowing the wing-back Chilwell to boldly press forward.
At the same time, Jorginho and Mount will appear on the left, forming a strong side advantage and suppressing Real Madrid's right attack.
10 minutes before the game, Chelsea attacked fiercely from the left, pinning Bell in the backcourt and being unable to move.
Hazard was at his peak, and the combination of man and ball and the rapid frequency of changing directions made Real Madrid jittery.
Zidane tried to recover the formation and compress the distance between the defense lines, so as to limit Hazard's room for movement.
But Rudiger shot an angry shot from outside the penalty area to the post, which made the Real Madrid players tremble.
At the critical moment, it depends on Ramos.
He commanded the defensive line boldly, allowing the wide players to be ready to attack and counter Chelsea at any time.
That is to say, Ramos has such courage and self-confidence.
If you were someone else, if you took an extra step, you might be scolded by the head coach.
Another advantage of the premise of Real Madrid's formation is that the compressed space of the defense can be released.
The tight defensive line does limit Hazard's activities, but for a defender like Ramos who likes to attack and grab, the small space behind the quilt makes him unacceptable.
Ramos is confident that he can defend Hazard alone.
In the 12th minute, when Ramos was defending, he predicted Hazard's action in advance and intercepted the ball with a clean tackle.
Afterwards, Ramos showed his long pass level and gave it to Bell at the front end.
This is the signature defensive counterattack of Real Madrid's successful defense of the Champions League.
Everything must be based on a solid defense before it can be transformed into an offense.
After Bale dribbled the ball past half-time, he used a low-to-the-ground curve ball to pass between Chilwell and Rudiger.
Rossi made a quick move forward and took the ball forward with his first touch.
This collar is to increase the attack speed and avoid giving the defender time to chase back when the ball is stopped on the spot.
But as soon as the ball left his feet, Thiago Silva blasted from the side and kicked the ball away from the touchline with a big foot.
The two collided with each other and fell to the ground.
[Wow, fast-paced offensive and defensive conversion, both teams have shown amazing strength and excellent state! 】
[Thiago Silva didn't hold back at all, and didn't give Real Madrid any chance! 】
【Because he knows who he is facing! 】
【Rosie is definitely an opportunist! 】
[If Thiago doesn't grab the first move, then he will pass at Rossi's speed, forming a single-handed attack! 】
[The duel between the two may dominate the outcome of this match! 】
