After the game started, the experienced teacher Zhang Lu quickly analyzed the tactical deployment based on his on-field position.

"According to my observation, Maridimo should have played a 4-5-1 formation.

The four defenders are Cassetinho, Cusey, Wenjun, and Antonio; Aguilar and Denso play wingbacks; the three in the middle are double midfielders Joao, Zhou Yong, and J Ronaldo; Wang Zi is at the front."

"This is a frontless formation!" Zhan Jun sighed.

"Well, from the opening few minutes, although Wang Zi is in a higher position, he and J Ronaldo will have a position exchange. Especially when defending, Wang Zi will retreat very deeply, but J Ronaldo behind him will not defend much."

"Do you think this is a problem that J Luo himself is unwilling to defend, or is it the intentional deployment of coach Gao Yuan?" Zhan Jun asked.

"It's hard to say, it depends on the actual effect. On the football field, there are many times when the success is the king and the defeat is the enemy. If the game is played well, people will attribute this successful style to the coach's wise deployment; but if the game is not played well, the players will often have to take the blame."

"Taking the blame? I wonder if it's because of Benzema?" Zhan Jun joked.

"The effect of the attack without a front-line formation has to wait and see. I think what I should pay more attention to is on the defensive end.

The setting of double-wingback + wingbacks that Maridimo has arranged! It doesn’t matter whether he can score a goal away from Real Madrid. The key is whether you can defend it! Maridimo’s wingback configuration is aimed at the offensive threats of Real Madrid’s two wingbacks.” Zhang Lu analyzed.

"Last season, Maridimo used this formation. In his strong dialogue with Porto, in order to limit the opponent's sharp wing attack, Gao Yuan guided this formation. This innovation in the formation has a very good effect and is impressive!"

Zhan Jun is worthy of being the "data emperor" and can immediately quote the classics.

"Porto's wing is top-notch in Europe, but there is definitely a gap compared to Real Madrid. Maridimo has limited Porto with this formation, but whether he can defend against Real Madrid remains to be seen!"

On the side of the court, Zidane's big bald head reflected the light of the Bernabeu, as if it was shining with the light of wisdom.

His expression was serious, and his two thick eyebrows that were not proportional to his hair frowned slightly.

He had never encountered such a formation in the past.

Four defenders were placed on the wing.

This is not just a pile of guard players like most teams, but a formation variant.

Due to the existence of wingbacks in front of you, the two full-backs can be retracted at any time, and the defense line becomes 6 defenders and 4 defenders in the middle. In this way, the accumulation of heavy troops in the middle effectively makes up for the gap in the ribs and limits Real Madrid's sharp incisiveness.

If your wing players choose to go down the bottom, then the two full-backs will join the wingbacks in the wingbacks to form a more defense and no room to go down the bottom.

This arrangement of the opponent's head coach has greatly restricted Real Madrid's most sharp offensive weapon and wing attack.

What surprised Zidane even more was the tightness of the opponent's formation and the personal ability of the players.

This is a well-trained team!

The position between each player is very reasonable. Each person has more than two teammates around him. During offense, he can receive passes at any time; during defense, he can immediately assist in defense.

The player's ability surprised Zidane.

He did not expect that there would be so many excellent young players in an unknown Portuguese team.

Almost everyone has strong fighting spirit, abundant physical fitness, and delicate skills. On this basis, everyone has their own characteristics and unique skills.

For example, Kusai’s defense, Zhou Yong’s steal, Joao’s long shot, Wang Zi’s organization...

In Zidane's view, most of the starters of this team can gain a foothold in the championship teams of the top five European leagues. If you consider their age and potential revealed, there are a few young men who are the focus of training even if they come to Real Madrid!

What's even more terrifying is that Zidane has studied videos of several important matches of his opponent last season. At that time, although they performed well, they were far from as good as they are now!

It is obvious that these young people have fulfilled their talents and they have made progress! And the progress is very fast!

This is very terrible. It has improved so much in just a pre-match preparation period. What if it takes time, two years, three years, or even five years later?

In this young army, someone's name will surely shock the world football world!

The club has to take action quickly and get rid of people! If it is too late, it will probably be snatched away by Paris Saint-German, the rich and shameless guys from Bayern Excavators!

Zidane couldn't help but take a look at his bench with some guilt.

I noticed that Betoni seemed to be sneering.

This old guy! Is he laughing at himself for not following his report and paying enough attention to Maridimo?

Humph! You know that the other party is so powerful, why don’t you talk to me a few more times?! Why don’t you strongly suggest me to bite my ears and pull my sleeves?! Why don’t you threaten to resign?!

Benzema, take off the blame first and let Betoni take it for a while!

The first 20 minutes of the game not only shocked Zidane, but also amazed everyone who watched the game.

More than 70,000 fans in the Bernabeu stands were talking.

"Who is this team? How come it is so tightly defended and so fiercely?"

"Is the level of the Portuguese club so high? Porto, Benfica used to play in the Champions League, but it wasn't that good either!"

"Nonsense, they are already very strong. Last season, they beat Porto's top three and double-killed Porto!"

"I think they play better than Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, and Villarreal. They probably have similar strength to Atletico Madrid!"

"It's too exaggerated. Maridimo is good, but can he compare with Atletico Madrid? Besides, after only 20 minutes of playing, what can you tell? Maybe you can use all your strength and lose energy in the next 70 minutes?"

...

The media interprets the first 20 minutes of the game from a professional perspective.

"Maridimo only took 20 minutes to make his name the focus of European football this season. If they can continue this performance, they will be a strong contender for the dark horses of the Champions League this season!"

"Maridimo's tactics are very creative. The two sides are like two pliers, firmly clamping Real Madrid's wings. Moreover, their formation is not a stereotyped fixed position, but is as fluid as water. Six players from defenders, plus double midfielders can quickly strengthen the wing when they are impacted on the side; when the middle is penetrated, they can immediately build a solid middle defense line. Their coach has created a new defensive tactics and system. Since Gao Yuan is a Chinese, I am willing to call this defense the Great Wall of Maridimo's defense line."

"Maridimo's players have shown their potential and qualities and will definitely become the target of many European giants. Considering that the Portuguese Super League team has a tradition of "black shops", we can expect that Maridimo will make a fortune this season and become one of the most profitable clubs in Europe!"

...

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were even more excited by Maridimo's performance. Although they were interpreting from a neutral and objective perspective, as Chinese media, it is impossible for them to have some emphasis on the side where the Chinese players are.

Zhan Jun excitedly broke out another golden sentence: "Maridimo is very outstanding, but he didn't expect to be so outstanding! They worked quietly and amazed everyone!"

Zhang Lu: "Hehe"
Chapter completed!
