We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 323: Barcelona version of Cristiano Ronaldo, the king of pestle appears

The world's attention then turned to the Bernabeu.

Can the Champions League champion Real Madrid completely defeat the Champions League newcomer Villa?
Will He Tianqi suffer his first defeat in a European match in his coaching career?

Prior to this, He Tianqi led the team through two Europa Leagues and five Champions Leagues, all of which ended in victory.

In all the European competitions he participated in, he won the final championship with a 100% winning rate.

Real Madrid is the team most likely to end this horrific record.

Because Real Madrid knows He Tianqi too well.

It is reported that Florentino invited the Spanish king and his family to watch the game on site.

To witness this epic moment.

……

On the evening of April 2nd, Aston Villa flew to Madrid.

The moment the players walked out of the airport passage, they were numb.

The scene was packed with people, and countless fans wearing Real Madrid jerseys were there.

Vardy was a little nervous for a moment: "Hey, are these fans mistaken about something? We are Villa, not Real Madrid?"

Kante was also a little timid: "I have never seen so many fans welcoming me at the airport. Real Madrid has such a huge influence in Madrid."

Van Dijk: "Is this a warning from Real Madrid?"

Schmeichel: "I declare that Madrid Airport is the best death stadium I have ever been to! The scene is so spectacular!"

But soon everyone realized that the fans were not mistaken for Villa and Real Madrid.

Because the fans held up a huge tifo of He Tianqi, as well as countless banners.

It says:

"Warmly welcome Real Madrid legendary coach He Tianqi back to Madrid!"

"Coach, you are always welcome at the Bernabeu!"

"The Yinhe battleship is invincible; Tianqi Tianqi is the best in the world!"

"Real Madrid promises never to be the first to use any weapon!"

"Coach, we miss you! Real Madrid needs to win more championships under your leadership!"

Watching thousands of people singing "He Tianqi's Song", even though Villa players knew that He Tianqi was the world's best coach, their cognition was refreshed once again.

The atmosphere in this stadium makes Villa pale in comparison!
So this is the boss’s home ground, right?

Villa then stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Madrid, and that night, Villa players also felt what it meant to be resigned!

Real Madrid fans did not make any noise outside the hotel to disturb Villa players' rest.

This is simply a science fiction drama on the road.

Many wealthy families have therefore said not to believe or spread rumors!
The next day, a strange piece of news that had little to do with the game made the headlines.

"Global View": "Arteta has a new hairstyle, Villa has its own Cristiano Ronaldo!"

This is an interesting point that is overlooked in football.

Arteta actually looks very similar to Ronaldo.

However, since the two have never had similar hairstyles, it did not resonate with the public.

This time, under the arrangement of He Tianqi, Arteta was forced to find the same barber as Ronaldo and cut a hairstyle that was 100% a replica of Ronaldo.

Directly triggered hot searches!

This is the second time Arteta has been forced to make a fuss over his head.

The first time was in the Serie B season when He Tianqi coached Palermo. He ordered all the players to dye their hair white and used chaotic tactics to defeat Lazio or Inter Milan.

At first, Arteta was not particularly willing to dye his hair, but he was taught a lesson.

Before the game, reporters and fans focused on Arteta's new look.

Arteta said: "Are they similar? Maybe. I remember the boss said that excellent people are always similar, but ordinary people are different."

"Maybe the similarities between me and Ronaldo are not just in appearance."

"We have both been the absolute main force of top clubs, but he is better at forward and I am better at midfield."

AS immediately published a headline: "Barcelona's internal strife sacrificed not only a former core player, but also a Barcelona version of Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Marca: "Can you believe it? Barcelona was once the only team in the world to have two super players, Melo and Ronaldo!"

Daily Sports: "Nonsense! Arteta has nothing in common with Ronaldo except that he looks like him. Their playing styles are completely different!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Old Barcelona fans have always found it hard to let go of Arteta's departure. The team has never studied the coexistence of Messi and Arteta!"

Sky Sports: "The difference is obvious! When Arteta was in charge of Barcelona, ​​Messi had a ball to play. When Messi was in charge of Barcelona, ​​Arteta had no ball to play!"

It is clearly a crucial battle between Villa and Real Madrid.

Before the game, the wind direction was directed towards Real Madrid and Barcelona again.

And the Spanish media are only too happy to do so.

This allowed many of Vera's other preparations to remain secret.

Two hours before the game, He Tianqi announced Villa's starting lineup:
Giroud, Lukaku
De Bruyne, Motta, Kante, Bale

Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Bonucci, Walker

Schmeichel

-

Boateng was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and Van Dijk started.

He has made great progress this season and has gradually entered the team's main rotation.

But this is not the point.

The focus is on the frontcourt configuration.

Twin tower tactics!

This tactic is no stranger to Spanish teams.

Whether it is Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid or the Spanish national team, they have all been targeted in this way.

Because Spain doesn't have any tall central defenders.

Their defenders are generally short central defenders with lion-like heads who are fast, strong in confrontation, and fierce in fouling.

He Tianqi's statement is a blatant personal attack.

Real Madrid's formation did not change from the previous game:
Benzema

Ronaldo, Khedira, Di Maria

Diarra, Alonso
Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos, Arbeloa

Casillas

-

Due to Kaka's injury and Modric's suspension due to accumulated yellow cards, Khedira became the attacking midfielder.

Diarra, who is good at defense, appears in the defensive midfielder position, partnering with Alonso, who is mainly responsible for passing and controlling the ball.

This is also a classic configuration of double defensive midfielders, defensive gate + organizational core.

This configuration comes from Pirlo's playing style of playing as a front midfielder.

And this is exactly the path that He Tianqi pointed out to Pirlo.

In other words, the current classic formations, playing styles, player configurations and partnerships in world football all have more or less the shadow of He Tianqi.

I won’t say that football tactics are apocalyptic, but there is no problem with football tactics being half-apocalyptic.

……

With a whistle, the game officially started.

Eighty thousand white-clad fans cheered for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

But there is no doubt that Villa is the more proactive side today.

After all, Real Madrid is leading 2-1 away from home.

As long as they don't lose too many goals at home, they will definitely make it to the semi-finals.

In the fourth minute, De Bruyne made a lateral pass and then took the initiative to move forward.

After receiving the ball, Motta looked at De Bruyne, made a fake eye move, and tried to score with a low shot.

The ball went slightly wide.

In the seventh minute, De Bruyne made a lob pass from the left.

Giroud headed the ball and then rubbed it.

Bale, who came in from the right, shot at a small angle on the right side of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, Pepe blocked it with his foot.

Real Madrid's defense line was basically trained by He Tianqi.

Villa's attacking style was not effective against them.

In the eleventh minute, Real Madrid began to have some opportunities.

Di Maria dribbled the ball on the right, his arms swinging constantly, using a quick shift of weight to shake off Azpilicueta and not giving him a chance to increase his intensity.

boom!
Di Maria made a great cross.

Benzema headed the ball, but Van Dijk rose up like a mountain and cleared the ball first.

Benzema looked at Van Dijk, who looked like a stone Buddha, and confirmed that this guy had no expression on his face.

In the 13th minute, Ronaldo received a cross from Marcelo outside the left side of the penalty area and shot directly.

The football was like a cannonball fired from a gun, exploding instantly.

Fortunately, Schmeichel flew in to save the ball.

But the entire Villa defense was visibly stunned.

Schmeichel looked solemn.

What a powerful shooting skill!
The strength, speed and accuracy are all extreme!

If all of Real Madrid's shots were of this level, Schmeichel would be sure that the goal he was guarding would be breached.

In the 22nd minute, Bale broke through Arbeloa on the right and passed the ball to Giroud.

Giroud pushed Ramos away, received the ball, turned around and shot with his left foot.

It's pretty smooth.

However, his shooting skills are not as good as Lewandowski, let alone Ronaldo.

Casillas hugged the football directly.

In the 26th minute, Ronaldo received the ball on the left and performed the "electric bicycle" move continuously.

Although the shaking interference effect was almost non-existent, it allowed him to speed up instantly and cut inside to successfully eat Kanter.

After entering the penalty area, Ronaldo turned to the bottom and avoided Bonucci.

Then he went around with his right foot and made a cross pass, showing off to Bonucci who was following behind him.

Benzema suddenly burst out with strength, pushed Van Dijk away, grabbed the position, and shot to score.

"GOAL! One to zero! Real Madrid scored first!"

"The total score between the two sides is three to one!"

"Real Madrid brings itself one step closer to the Champions League semi-finals!"

"The restoration of the three-time Champions League champion is just around the corner!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo's inside attack is so sharp that neither Kante nor Bonucci can keep up with him."

"It is worth mentioning that this is exactly the inside-cut kicking method that He Tianqi tailored for Ronaldo. He taught Ronaldo all the essence, so that now the opponent has grown into a super player that he cannot stop!"

"Of course, Benzema, who scored the goal, also performed very well. He is a player who is very good at disguising himself. For example, many fans call him the Benzema Cat!"

"But in fact, Benzema's strength, confrontation, shooting and positioning are all very good. He deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, giving Van Dijk the illusion of being well restricted, and then suddenly exerted force to push Van Dijk away."

"In this regard, Van Dijk's experience is still a little less than Boateng's."

"He is also not as fast as the German defenders in terms of absolute speed."

The camera turns to He Tianqi.

Obviously, the situation is not optimistic for Villa.

He Tianqi stood on the sidelines and made gestures to the players.

The plan remains the same!

Don't let Real Madrid's form disrupt your rhythm.

In top-level confrontations, it all depends on who can control the rhythm in their own hands.

Even if the opponent has a super player who breaks the progress, we must insist on controlling the rhythm.

In the 29th minute, Bale continued to blast on the right.

Marcelo is not good at defense and can't stop Bale at all.

boom!
Bale made a cross pass.

Lukaku and Pepe moved quickly and had a fierce physical confrontation.

In this kind of confrontation, Pepe is often the dominant party.

There are few fast forwards who are physically stronger than him.

but……

Lukaku is definitely a surprise!
This is a heavy motorcycle!
Pepe lost his position in the confrontation, and seeing Lukaku about to break into the penalty area to shoot, Pepe could only pull Lukaku down.

The referee immediately blew his whistle.

"Yellow card! Pepe got a yellow card."

"De Bruyne found the referee and he thought it was a red card!"

"Ramos was trying to excuse Pepe, saying Lukaku slipped and fell."

"Players from both teams are very good at using the opportunity to communicate with the referee to cause trouble for the other side, because this is a very typical requirement of the He team."

"You see, apart from the two exchange players, the rest of the players are carefully looking for opportunities or paying attention to the surprise attacks launched by the other side."

“They all take the game very seriously.”

"According to the information we have received, Pepe will be suspended for the next game due to accumulated yellow cards. If Real Madrid reaches the Champions League semi-finals, their first-leg series will be difficult."

Then Bale took the free kick.

A curved ball goes straight to the goal.

Unfortunately, the football went slightly over the goal.

I haven't found the feel for my feet yet.

In the 34th minute, De Bruyne passed the ball to the left side.

Asli Piquetá made a cross after running in from the flank.

Giroud jumped high and his header was saved.

Won a corner kick for the team.

Villa's players lined up in the Real Madrid penalty area.

The classic "Long Snake Formation" makes a comeback.

Modric watched the game in the stands and felt like he was back in Palermo.

The two teams on the field are no longer Real Madrid and Villa, but the Red Vests Team and the Green Vests Team in training within the Palermo team.

The tactical details of both sides are exactly the same.

boom!
De Bruyne takes a corner kick.

Bonucci ran to the position and headed the ball, but Casillas once again saved it from going out of bounds.

Continue with the corner kick.

But this time, the referee blew the whistle before the ball was kicked.

Ramos and Bonucci clashed over position.

The referee warned both sides to exercise restraint and not to make small moves.

"No wonder you gave Ramos's football video to Walker. Ramos is indeed a good player." Zidane said with emotion, "When he found that Bonucci was the biggest threat, he immediately took the initiative to create trouble for Bonucci."

"This is typical defensive lineman behavior."

"It's hard to imagine that he can also be a huge threat on the offensive end. Walker is not as good as Ramos in other aspects except his speed."

He Tianqi nodded, but smiled and said, "In the face of absolute height, one Ramos is not enough."

Before he finished speaking, De Bruyne took a corner kick.

It’s still the same point.

But this time it was Van Dijk who rushed forward.

Van Dijk jumped lightly and headed the ball towards the goal.

Casillas was about to save the ball, but the ball suddenly changed direction.

boom!
The football hit Lukaku's head as he stood there, changed direction and flew into the goal.

The Bernabeu was silent.

Until He Tianqi slid down on his knees and rushed out of the coaching area.

"GOAL!"

"One to one! Aston Villa also scored a goal!"

"The total score between the two sides is 3 to 2! The gap is not insurmountable!"

"Van Dijk's header was not of high quality, but Lukaku's appearance changed everything!"

"He was like a wooden stake, not playing to his strengths in the corner attack, but maybe that's how he participates in the corner attack!"

"He stood in front of the door, looking like a fool, but actually a king! I can't help but think of a famous historical figure, that is..."

"The King of Pestle!"

The few Villa fans at the scene cheered.

The Villa players on the field also felt reassured.

The twin tower strategy is still effective.

Although one of the towers looks a bit silly.
