Chapter 477: History repeats itself

Quaresma, who was going to be long and hairy at home, finally waited for Real Madrid to gather.
The Valdebebas training base has actually just been in use for a short time. It is completely a new and modern look. The hardware facilities have completely burst the training bases of all the rich clubs in the world.
Quaresma couldn't help but sigh. In contrast, if Real Madrid's Valdebebas training base is a university city, then Arsenal's Kearney training base is a primary school, which is completely incomparable.
This is indeed the case, no exaggeration.
Each player can even be assigned to a separate dormitory, where he can sleep to recover his physical fitness between training sessions.
Under the leadership of the staff, Quaresma was assigned to his own dormitory, or a fingerprint password. While he was sleeping, no one else wanted to secretly open the door to enter and attack him.
However, it is interesting that not only half of the 70-plus dormitory belong to the first team, but also half belong to the Real Madrid basketball team. The basketball and football teams actually have the same training base.
Although Real Madrid's dominance in European basketball is even stronger than Real Madrid's football team, but Quaresma has little interest in European basketball.
Finally, after a long spare, Quaresma came to the first team's dressing room.
Take a deep breath outside the door and you can't talk about tension, but the first time you meet Real Madrid's stars, it's better to be formal, at least leave a good first impression.
Outside the door, the speech inside could already be heard. When Quaresma pushed the door in, the speech stopped at that moment, and everyone's eyes were already on him.
"Hi!" Quaresma reached out, waved, and said hello.
The atmosphere does not seem very warm.
At this moment, Raul stood up and walked quickly to Quaresma with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Actually, there should be no need to introduce each other!" Raúl took Quaresma's hand and smiled broadly. "You know, we have been eliminated by you and Arsenal for these two seasons. We can always grind your teeth!" "
Quaresma couldn't help but sweat a little, guilty conscience, I have to say that Arsenal have indeed abused Real Madrid in the past two seasons.
"Yeah, we have been thinking about how to get revenge back!"
"At least two big meals are needed to make up for the trauma of our young hearts?"
"You were killed in two meals? Then you really have nothing to pursue!"
...
The players were joking, and the atmosphere was less embarrassing at once.
Hehe smiled and found his own locker cabinet under Raul's guidance. Quaresma quickly changed the jersey and gradually joined the Real Madrid players' chat.
Fortunately, Real Madrid does not have such a sour king like Barack and Gallas, or would Quaresma just come out of the wolf den and enter the tiger's mouth?
Speaking of this, Real Madrid's players Quaresma are quite familiar, and they have also been opponents in the past two seasons. Thanks to the high cost of introducing themselves, Real Madrid did not introduce a few new aids in the summer, so it is Eliminate the familiar process.
The most delightful Quaresma is to meet Pepe again in the Real Madrid dressing room. The two good friends met each other when they met. This is already their most usual way of greeting, but their popular way of greeting The other players were dumbfounded and did not know that they had a good relationship. I am afraid they thought it was a meeting to kill their father and enemies.
Of course, Quaresma has also been mistreated, and Pepe’s kung fu is not white practice. This guy can almost open a martial arts hall.
"I really don't know what you are doing at Real Madrid. Do you have a tendency to be abused? You can't sleep at night without being abused by me?" Quares Maha laughed.
Pepe shrugged and said disdainfully: "If I had black feet, who would have been abused by whom did not know!"
Well, for such a peppy Pepe, Quaresma has no way.
After changing the jerseys, everyone came to the training ground to warm up under the leadership of the assistant coach, but the coach Schuster has not yet come, obviously there are some other things to be busy.
Quaresma counted it. Although the math is not very good, it can still be understood within 30 numbers.
If not counting the third goalkeeper playing in the reserve team, there are 23 Real Madrid first team players.
A large number of players were sold, and only three players, Quaresma, Pepe and Sneijder, were really introduced for the transfer fee.
There are also two free-to-join players, the former Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek, and the former Argentine talented striker Saviola.
Manchester United's Heinze joined on loan. Although there are buy-out clauses, at least this summer there is no need to pay.
In addition, there are three players who have returned from the loan, Soldado, Balboa, and Baptista, who played an excellent beast in the just finished Copa America.
Of course, in addition to himself, among these newcomers who can sit firmly in the main position, I am afraid that it is Pepe who plays the central defender. Even Sneijder, it is difficult to obtain a stable starting opportunity.
Before the warm-up, the new coach Schuster has come to the training ground. How much awe can Real Madrid players have in the heart of this new head coach who has not proven himself in the giants. This is really an unknown number. On the field, Quaresma felt that Schuster was far worse than Wenger.
This is indeed the case. Before coaching Real Madrid, although Schuster has coached many teams, it is really good, probably only last season.
When Schuster coached Getafe last season, he led this small club to the best record in the La Liga's seventh place and successfully scored in the UEFA Cup.
The real reason for Real Madrid to decide to invite Schuster is probably still in the two rounds of the semifinals of the Kings Cup.
Getafe, who was completely unpredictable before the match, lost to League Giants Barcelona 2:5 in the first round, which met everyone's expectations for the game. Then, in the second round, Schuster and his Getafe But miraculously beat Barcelona a 4:0, so the epic reversal is simply a miracle.
Perhaps in the hearts of many Real Madrid fans, the coaches who can lead the team to play Barcelona are good coaches, not to mention such an incredible reversal.
Therefore, Schuster was qualified to coach Real Madrid.
Schuster did not gather the players to give a speech. The Germans are very clear that it is obviously unrealistic to want to make these arrogant Real Madrid superstars through a speech.
Everything, still have to use words to speak!
Only with good grades can he really control the locker room.
The training on the first day was mediocre, and there were not many things. Perhaps Schuster wanted a step-by-step process, but Quaresma’s explosive strength had no place to vent. It had to be after the team’s overall training. Stay on the training ground for additional training.
Originally, Raul also planned to invite everyone to dinner, which is a welcome to new players. But watching Quaresma's posture, he gave up this idea directly. I am afraid that with Quaresma's character, you are the best for him if you do not disturb his training. Welcome.
Pepe also stayed to accompany Quares Maga to practice, just came to Madrid, not familiar with any martial arts pavilion around, so Pepe has nothing to do.
"Fuck, it's still so perverted. I'll be an idiot if I practice with you again in the future!" After a long time of one-on-one training with Quaresma, Pepe ran out of control.
Quaresma couldn't help but laugh, just now he had made Pepe like a dog again and again, and it was just too cool.
After getting along for a few days, Quaresma felt that Real Madrid's dressing room was not as messy as the outside world rumored, and the gang formation was not so serious-it was originally a fellow countryman. Isn't it a crime to get closer?
Just like Quaresma and Pepe, the two naturally have a better relationship than the others. Is this considered a gang formation?
When Raul is present, it is unlikely that there will be too much conflict in the dressing room.
Regarding this, Quaresma still admires Raul, not to mention that Raul's body is not strong, but his leadership temperament, but he does not lose anyone.
This is the case in the Spanish national team. With him in, Barcelona players don't want to look up.
Quite calmly and peacefully in the past few days, the Real Madrid first team also embarked on a preparation journey and went to Austria for training.
On the plane, Casillas was sitting next to Quaresma, and he had been talking about his conceded goals in the past two seasons between Real Madrid and Arsenal.
"Ricardo, why can you shoot the arc so much?"
"Similar shots, normal positions are not easy to save, can the goalkeeper consider pre-judging and moving in advance?"
"But is it easy to be self-defeating?"
"Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
"For example, directing a defensive player in front of me to help me stand in one direction?"
"When you lead the trend of inward shots, there are more and more similar things now, and the pressure of the goalkeeper is also increasing!"
"You should understand the disturbed mentality of a goalkeeper who always keeps his original goal in guarding the goal!"
"Perhaps we can cooperate to do a big data analysis, you shoot, I guard the goal, scientifically analyze the number of shots through the increase in the number of samples, and then analyze the defensive method!"
"Even we can do a research on a topic, and if it is successful, we can publish it!
"Imagine if there are more students in the world to learn my theory in the future, can I surpass all my predecessors and become the greatest goalkeeper in history?"
"This really makes me indulge in my dreams!"
"Yeah, why didn't you keep talking?"
...
Quaresma felt as if ten thousand flies were buzzing in his ear. He had never thought that Casillas' mouth opened like a machine gun, and he suddenly protruded.
I just want to sleep quietly. Is it so difficult?
Casillas, if you say tuberculosis, aren’t you afraid of getting mouth cancer?
And what else are you publishing? Are you really afraid of being falsified by the investigation?
Is it not good to keep the goal honestly?
Quaresma is about to cry. He has foreseen that the kind of terrible encounters he has experienced in Porto and Arsenal, and the people around him are funny, may be repeated in Real Madrid history, and Casillas is First.
...
I conducted closed training in Edingen, Austria for about two weeks. This is really a rare and quiet day. There is no need to worry about being chased and blocked by reporters every day, without being disturbed by any off-site factors. The training efficiency is naturally satisfactory.
After the physical training is over, the arrangements for the warm-up match will begin. The round of warm-up matches before the season is undoubtedly the best opportunity for tactical exercises.
However, the results of this first warm-up match put Real Madrid under tremendous pressure.
The first warm-up opponent is Hannover 96 from the Bundesliga. The strength of the middle reaches of the Bundesliga is a very good warm-up opponent.
What people did not think of was that the opponent who was considered to cooperate with Real Madrid in tactical drills directly pressed Real Madrid on the ground with a heavy hammer, hitting Real Madrid with a 3:0, and the new generation of the Galaxy warship was completely defeated by the opponent.
In order to adjust the state of the players and the idea of ​​inspecting the players, Schuster must have reserved in the game and sent more marginal players, so the starting lineup is by no means the real main lineup of Real Madrid in his heart.
Fanny and Higuain started as strikers, Baptista on the left, Sneijder on the right, Guti and Gago on the middle, Marcelo on the left and Salgado on the right. Pepe and Heinze partnered in the middle, and the goalkeeper was Cassie.
This lineup should actually be regarded as Real Madrid's second-line lineup. Core players such as Quaresma and Raul have no starters at all.
I thought that such a lineup was enough to control the situation. In fact, the midfield composed of several technical players really controlled the situation most of the time, only because the midfielder did not provide too much protection for the defense and was beaten by the opponent. After a few quick breaks, the game was over.
Of course, Real Madrid has also created a lot of opportunities, but both Fannie and Higuain have not returned to their best condition, wasting a lot of opportunities.
Although Schuster made some adjustments in the second half according to the situation on the court, the situation could not be improved. In the end, Real Madrid lost.
Quaresma didn't get a chance to play at all. Although he didn't know what kind of consideration Schuster made, he was not the one who would easily lose his temper.
And Real Madrid’s warm-up loss naturally caused an uproar, and public opinion suddenly produced a wave of singing Real Madrid. Various brainless blacks also stood up and spread salt on Real Madrid’s wounds as if Real Madrid didn’t start the season. It's already about to crash.
"Schuster is not as good as Capello, and I bet him to take five rounds of classes!"
"Real Madrid can even lose Hanover, and Bayern can abuse Hanover casually. Does that mean Bayern can play Real Madrid?"
"Don't look at Real Madrid's lineup is good, but in fact there is no fighting power, this game has proved!"
"I bought Quaresma to let him grow hair on the bench? Why not use Quaresma?"
"Sneijder's performance is also catastrophic. Hurry up and deal with it!"
"If Real Madrid can win this season, I jump directly from the top of the Camp Nou!"
...
Everyone is naturally unhappy after losing, but everyone is a professional player, accustomed to the storms and waves, and has a good self-regulation ability. Naturally, he will not be grudged by the loss of a warm-up game.
Many problems were exposed in the game, but after all, this is just preparation, their purpose is to find and solve problems.
However, many players still have considerations and measures in mind. Schuster's starting arrangement for this game does have some problems.
The midfield lacks stiffness. The midfield composed of purely technical players is more powerful, but it has more than enough defensive power. This is an important reason for Real Madrid to concede several goals.
On the other hand, a big and small problem was also revealed in the game-Guti seems to be unable to coexist with Sneijder.
Guti played in an organized midfield, and Sneijder also has the ability to organize. Even if Sneijder is a full-back, he is not the kind of person who can break freely on the wing like Robinho. To some extent, the roles of Sneijder and Guti are somewhat overlapping.
Coupled with a Gago who is also known for his organization, three people compete for the ball, and it's strange that Real Madrid's midfield is not in a mess!
On the front line, the combination of Fanny and Higuain is also a bit uncalled. Because of his age, Fanny has almost lost the role outside the penalty area and can only wait for teammates to pass the ball in the penalty area, while Higuain actually It is also a pure shooter, and also needs the support of his teammates. Both of them are not players who can create their own opportunities.
In this way, there is no way for the two to complement each other's characteristics, so naturally there is no way to play a role of 1+1 greater than 2.
On the back line, Pepe and Heinze's partner is also embarrassing.
Pepe's usual performance is not bad. Bold defense and fierce kicking make Real Madrid's backcourt more wild than the previous ones, which meets Real Madrid's needs.
However, Pepe's performance is still a little frizzy, so Cannavaro, a top defensive artist, needs to be tuned around.
But it was Heinze who started with Pepe today. This product... is more frizzy than Pepe...
Therefore, the two people's unbearable upsurge is simply a disaster!
Casillas, who sits at the goal, said that he is as steady as ever, but he can't stand the gang of goods in front of him, and he is directly beaten into doubt.
...
Although there was a lot of criticism from the outside world~EbookFREE.me~ Koquaresma felt that Schuster actually made a good move.
Real Madrid exposed so many problems in one game, it is simply the biggest gain.
If it is the official game that exposes these problems, wouldn’t it be too late to correct again?
Rather than losing unclearly at that time, let the problems be exposed and eliminated now.
At least the next time Schuster will know that Fanny and Higuain cannot be started at the same time, Heinze and Pepe cannot be started at the same time, nor can a group of technical midfielders create in the midfield, these are all Will not work.
In the next few warm-up games, Schuster has been experimenting, trying to expose various problems in the team.
The effect is good!
And after a few warm-up games, Schuster's real Real Madrid main lineup is basically released!
