I am the king of football

Chapter 328 Special Training
At Manchester United's training base, Ferguson has not stopped targeted training for a single day since the team began preparing for the match against Real Madrid.

As people call it, Real Madrid has top stars in every position.

Ever since Real Madrid's Mr. Fernando was re-elected as the president of Real Madrid, they have started a development model of collecting top stars from major leagues. The season when two Ballon d'Or winners, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, joined the team at the same time can be said to be the most glorious moment of this model.

Today, the Galacticos have Casillas as the goalkeeper, Ramos and Varane as the partners in defense, and the temporarily injured Pepe, and top midfielders such as Xabi Alonso and Kaka in the midfield.

On the front line, Cristiano Ronaldo goes without saying, the team also introduced Benzema, one of the four little swans of France, to assist Ronaldo.

These players were already in their best form last season under Mourinho's coaching. They broke the monopoly of La Liga rivals Barcelona and regained the La Liga title. This season the team has made great progress on all fronts and poses a considerable threat.

Although they have drawn Manchester United, a tough opponent in the Champions League, the Galacticos are not afraid at all. They are not afraid of the Red Devils in almost every position.

"He's very fast and his breakthroughs are top-notch. You must be prepared for everything and coordinate your defense. Don't even think about a one-on-one fight!"

Standing on the training ground, Ferguson was giving a speech to the team's defense. Before the final starting lineup was finalized, everyone had the possibility of appearing in the starting position. Every defender tried hard to show his or her value, but even so Ferguson was still not satisfied.

"You are about to face one of the two best players on the planet right now, so be fully prepared!"

"understand!"

Ferguson had no hope of defending Cristiano Ronaldo, who was now in his peak form, one-on-one. His requirement for the team's defense was to be like a pack of wolves waiting for a tiger when active, and like the roots of an old tree when still.

Only in this way can we stop the individual heroic performance of a single opponent player.

As for the defensive loopholes created by team football, it all depends on the performance of the team's own players. After all, football is a game of space. No team can ever say that it has no defensive loopholes at all. As long as the ball is being passed on the field and the players are running, there will always be opportunities.

In midfield, in order to target Kaka's athleticism and Xabi Alonso's ability to organize long passes, Ferguson also conducted special training for his own center midfield.

From Carrick to Scholes and Giggs, regardless of whether they are the main starters or the substitutes, everyone has begun to work hard on closed defense and close pressing.

In general, the training content of Manchester United may have changed the least in their striker line. After all, as a striker, the tricks and techniques for scoring goals are not complicated. Facing defense, in addition to continuous passing and cutting, what is more important is the striker's own flash of inspiration.

After all, scoring a goal is simple. All you have to do is send the ball into the goal through a line that the goalkeeper can't touch. There's really nothing much to say about it.

Ferguson only gave the information about Ramos, Varane and others to Qin Hu and others, so that they could realize in advance what type of defenders they would encounter, and nothing else.

It can be said that Ramos has inherited all the true skills from his team's predecessor, the monk Pepe, and he is extremely tough when he plays football.

It is not normal for Ramos not to receive a few red cards in a season. Whenever Ramos and Pepe start as central defenders, the striker opposite them will be under great pressure of injuries.

Therefore, Ferguson's only request to Qin Hu and others was very simple, that is, not to get hurt no matter what.

Once the team's starting striker is injured, no matter what the result of the first round is, the team will be at an absolute disadvantage in the second round.

"The guards will use some unsavory methods to deal with you, such as arm twisting and spinning and..."

Manchester United's defensive coach was called over to train Qin Hu and others. This group of forwards also knew for the first time that there were so many tricks in defense. When Van Persie heard some fouls, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right." As a representative of forwards who are often injured, Van Persie is very experienced in being violated by defenders. After the defensive coach finished explaining, he also began to personally explain to everyone how to protect the important parts of the body after being violated on the field.

It was not until the day before the game that the special training of the entire Manchester United team came to an end. After the training that day, everyone gathered in their club's meeting room and looked at Ferguson expectantly.

This is a battle that has attracted worldwide attention. No one wants to miss it. Competing with strong opponents is the purpose of the players coming to Manchester United, and now the opportunity has come.

"For tomorrow's game, we will play 4231."

Opening the whiteboard, since there were many things to arrange this time, Ferguson opened the huge whiteboard in the conference room and put out a tactical diagram.

"Single striker Qin."

Taking into account Mourinho's usual style of play and formation, Ferguson once again used a double defensive midfielder formation so that the team would have enough strength in the midfield and backcourt to deal with the opponent.

"There are three midfielders behind Qin: Rooney, Shinji Kagawa and Van Persie."

Directly release three players who can play as forwards to the midfield. In Ferguson's design, these three players will participate in the team's offense most of the time, but at the same time they must also provide support in the collision between the team and the opponent's midfield.

"Two defensive midfielders, Carrick and Scholes."

The combination of Onion and Carrick has rich experience as their biggest feature. In such a heavyweight battle, stability is extremely important. The team needs a stabilizer, and the two of them are undoubtedly performing such a task.

"The back four is Rafael, Evans, Phil Jones, Evra and goalkeeper De Gea."

On the defensive line, Maguire, who started the last game, eventually sat on the bench. In terms of major tournament experience, he lost to Evans, who had seen a lot of the world with Ferdinand and Vidic.

Again, this is a heavyweight battle and stability is the most important thing. If Ferdinand hadn't been injured and Vidic was in extremely poor form, Ferguson really wanted them to continue to start together.

Unfortunately, it is time for Manchester United to use young people in its defense line.

As for the goalkeeper position, there is no need to say much. With De Gea's level and potential, he will be Manchester United's starting goalkeeper in the next ten years.

"Everyone is dismissed on the spot. Gather here in two hours. We will fly to the Bernabeu together."

"Received, BOSS!"

After all the starting lineups were announced, Ferguson then announced the roster of players and disbanded the team without further ado.

The players who started the game were cheering, while the players who had to stay in Manchester looked quite frustrated.
