Real Madrid draws Riyadh Crescent, which is the first appearance of Alonso and Inzaghi Jr. as coaching their new clubs. Former Brazilian star Silitou commented on the tactical philosophy of the two young coaches. Cilico said: Inzaghi Jr. has a way to deal with the strong La Liga team. You may be impressed by Inter Milan's big score loss in the Champions League final. However, putting aside this game, at least before the final, the Nerazzurri performed very well. In particular, Inzaghi led the team to eliminate Barcelona in the semi-finals, which fully demonstrates that the Italian young coach has enough ways to deal with the strong La Liga team. You should know that Barcelona has gradually returned to its peak this season. Flick's team performed well in the La Liga, and the club's strength is significantly stronger than Inter Milan at that time.

Cilillo also added that if Barcelona entered the Champions League final, they might have a chance to win the Big Ear Cup, at least they would not lose as many goals to Paris Saint-Germain. In other words, Inzaghi has a way to deal with the strong La Liga team, but he may not be able to deal with the strong Ligue 1 team. This is due to the style level. Moreover, in the Champions League matches in these three seasons, the Nerazzurri's winning rate against the La Liga team is very high, and often they defeat the strong by weak, which fully shows that Inzaghi is an expert in this regard. Many people are not satisfied with Brother Long's debut in his new club. Silitou also feels that he has not shown the essence of Real Madrid - Alonso's philosophy is too cautious. He is still familiar with his new club. At least during the Club World Cup, Brother Long is not able to lead Real Madrid skillfully.

Of course, Cilico admitted that although Alonso used to play football at the Bernabeu, he now returns to the club as the head coach and needs to re-exercise with the team. After all, times have changed, and the basic tactics may be different. Therefore, there is a reason why Alonso's philosophy is cautious. He dare not make a big move, but after he is too cautious, he cannot play his strengths in his team. As the season deepens, Alonso's coaching style gradually reveals a dilemma. Bernabeu fans began to notice that Real Madrid always lacked sudden rhythm changes when taking possession, and the offensive end was overly reliant on crosses from the wing, while the creative passes in the midfield were significantly reduced. According to the La Liga data website, Real Madrid's average key pass count this season fell to the lowest in the past five years, which is in sharp contrast to the smooth offensive system of Ancelotti during the period.

What is even more worrying is that Alonso's concept of caution is affecting the chemistry in the locker room. According to Marca, Bellingham tried to make midfield breakthroughs many times during training and was stopped by the assistant coach, and the Brazilian Gemini also reduced the interlude of the ribs due to tactical restrictions. The side effects of this "safe football" are fully exposed in the Club World Cup - when the opponent targeted the wing, Real Madrid did not create an absolute scoring opportunity in the entire game. However, insiders of the coaching staff pointed out that Alonso is planning tactical iterations. During the international game day, he specifically studied offensive data during the Leverkusen period, trying to reactivate the central axis connection on the basis of maintaining the defensive structure. In recent leagues against Real Sociedad, people have seen Camavenga's position move forward, which may herald Alonso's preparation to untie the tactical shackles of self-bound.

Now Inzaghi has come to the Saudi giants, and Riyadh Crescent does not have many real stars at all. This kind of fringe league itself is a recycling bin for ball players. As we all know, the Bernabeu has many superstars. Even at the end of the season, Alonso was able to send a lineup far better than Riyadh Crescent. Why did the Galaxy battleships only achieve a draw? The main reason behind it is that Inzaji Xiao has a way to deal with the strong La Liga team. Although Real Madrid and Barcelona have different styles, the strong La Liga team has the foundation of a technical team and the tactical roots are the same, which just happened to meet Inzaji Xiao's tactical strengths. The restraint of Xiao Inzaghi's tactical system on the technical streaming team has been verified again in the Saudi arena.

Facing the star-studded Real Madrid, he boldly used the three-center-back system to compress the midfield space, and at the same time used the repeated impact of the wingback to consume the physical fitness of the opponent's defense personnel. This tactical philosophy of "using integrity to offset individual advantages" was the winning weapon he led Inter Milan to eliminate Barcelona. It is worth noting that Riyadh Crescent has only 34% possession in this game, but it has created an excellent opportunity with 3 more times than Real Madrid. This tactical execution of efficient counterattack reminds people of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final last season - Inter Milan also completed 12 shots at Camp Nou at the time with a 39% ball possession rate, while Barcelona, ​​who played at home, had only one shot on the right side. Silitou's observation is very sharp: Inzagji has indeed mastered the code to crack the La Liga team. He can cut off the opponent's short pass penetration through a tight defensive level, and then create murderous intent with rapid wing transitions.
