Chapter 1246 Can only rely on Yang Yang!
This is a city derby, and Real Madrid also attaches great importance to it.

According to the usual practice, Florentino never loses a game at Real Madrid's home game, but he will not easily go to the away game with the team. Usually, the technical director Valdano leads the team, but this time in the same city derby, the general manager Manuel Redondo also accompanied him to show his importance.

La Liga teams have a tradition of entertaining the other team's top management before the game, and Atletico Madrid is no exception.

Valdano and Manuel Redondo received pre-match hospitality from Atletico Madrid chairman Cerezo and general manager Hill Hill, and then sat in the chairman's stand, but they sat separately from Atletico Madrid's management to show their difference.

Real Madrid's performance in this game was really terrible. Not only did they play poorly, but the players were also in poor condition.

"This should be this season, oh no, it's the worst game I've played in recent years, right?" Redondo shook his head full of depression, and he really played too aggrieved.

It's been more than 70 minutes in the second half, and Real Madrid is still so passive, which really makes him a little embarrassed, especially when he sees the expressions of Cerezo and Xiao Hill from a distance, he is even more annoyed in his heart.

Why did it happen that when Real Madrid was at its lowest point, they met a strong enemy Atletico Madrid?
"It's not just that we played badly, but a large part of it is because our opponents played well." Valdano was calm.

Football games are dynamic. You can’t see that one side is playing poorly and they are not in good form, but it may be that the other side is performing well. It’s like this game. Real Madrid’s state is rotten, but it can’t be so bad that there is only one shot in the entire first half.

In the final analysis, in addition to Real Madrid's poor state, Atletico Madrid's good state is also an important factor.

"Didn't it mean that after selling Diego Costa, Felipe and other players this season, Atletico Madrid's strength has been greatly damaged?" Redondo asked inexplicably, "But how does it look like this team is even more difficult?"

Valdano nodded. This is not only Redondo's doubts, but also the doubts of countless media and fans.

The reason is also very simple, you must not look at football games with a fixed mindset.

If it is really just based on strength, then it goes without saying that Real Madrid can easily kill all opponents regardless of the main lineup or the thickness of the bench. Wouldn't it be that Real Madrid can win the championship every season?Does the game still make sense?
Every team, every game is individual.

As small as a player, as large as a team, the same opponent may win this game, but they may lose another game.

A football game is not a data game. It is like a metaphysics. The data can only calculate a probability at most, but when it comes to the field, the players are the key to the outcome of the game.

"The strength of Atletico Madrid this season has indeed declined, without the suffocating pressure of last season, but don't forget, after the tempering of the Champions League last season, Simeone is also improving, and Atletico Madrid as a whole is also improving. If you still look at Atletico Madrid this season from the impression of last season, you will definitely not win."

Valdano reminded Redondo, who was also taking the initiative to explain for Ancelotti.

"Simeone's strategy for this game is very clear. He just grabbed the start and stunned you from the very beginning. So you see, we were seriously out of shape throughout the game, not at all in our usual rhythm of play, and the offensive organization was even more messed up."

"Looking at Atletico Madrid again, the more they play, the smoother they play. Many people think that Atletico Madrid are just rough and reckless, but look at the kind of passing and coordination they played in the game, and the kind of offensive routines they played. Does this look like a rough and reckless team?"

Redondo thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

Atletico Madrid's team is really like a hooligan, and it is also a hooligan who is educated and knows how to use the rules.

They were unequivocal when it was time to act, for example, they beat Yang Yang until his nose was broken in the first 7 minutes, but when it was time to plan patiently, they were still able to patiently organize an effective offensive, and when they used cleverness, they were also unequivocal, such as Miranda angering Hesse...

It can be said that this team is really very troublesome, even to some extent, more troublesome than Barcelona.

"Could it be that there is really nothing you can do when you encounter this kind of team?" Redondo was a little puzzled.

Valdano shook his head, "Yes, and no."

"What do you mean?"

"Throughout the history of European football, there has never been a lack of teams like Atletico Madrid. The most famous one was the UEFA Champions League final between Juventus and AC Milan in the [-]-[-] season. Both teams were difficult to deal with and completely restrained their opponents. The technical and tactical gold content of the game was indeed high, but that game was indeed extremely dull."

"Why? The reason is very simple. There are generally only two ways to meet this kind of team. One is to wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and the other is to actively let the opponent make a mistake. The former relies on ensuring that the opponent does not make mistakes first, while the latter relies on the impromptu performance of the stars. If there is no star who can break the deadlock, it will be like the Champions League final. It ended [-]-[-], and then it ended in a penalty shootout."

"You mean, you can only rely on the frontcourt stars?" Redondo understood.

Valdano shook his head and corrected: "You can only rely on Yang Yang!"

After a pause, the technical director of Real Madrid looked at Yang Yang on the court. He was actively retreating and seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Atletico Madrid's goal, which made the Argentine frown.

Yang Yang, who is far away from the goal, will seriously lack the threat!

"In fact, we can persist until now, and we should also thank Yang Yang and Zidane."

"Oh?"

Valdano pointed at the field from a distance, "Javier Mascherano played very well tonight, and Vermaelen and Varane have also performed well recently. The three of them played bravely tonight and helped the team secure the defense. And Mascherano has played steadily in recent rounds. Yang Yang's original initiative was right."

As the general manager of Real Madrid, Manuel Redondo certainly knew what Valdano said. At the beginning, Yang Yang suggested that Ancelotti should give more opportunities to substitute players, and then suggested that Real Madrid should let Mascherano return to the main position to strengthen the defense and hardness of Real Madrid's midfield.

The decision at the time was mixed, and some thought it was too conservative, but now Valdano concluded that Yang Yang's decision was right and full of foresight.

"It's hard for me to imagine that if there is no Mascherano, just put another player on the field, our midfielder will definitely not be able to defend tonight, and what awaits us at the Calderon Stadium may be a disaster, or even a massacre."

Valdano's words made Manuel Redondo's hair stand on end.

Real Madrid massacred by Atletico Madrid?

How can this be accepted?

In the past few years, Real Madrid has been steadily suppressing Atletico Madrid, making the opponent almost immobile.

If Real Madrid is really massacred by Atletico Madrid in the away game, there is really only one result, Ancelotti dismissed get out of class!

"Now I really understand why Ancelotti always has a big defeat every time he coaches the team." Valdano shook his head and smiled bitterly, obviously he has figured out the shortcomings of the Italian.

"I was worried before that Zidane was too immature and Yang Yang was not qualified for the position of assistant coach, but now, I think I underestimated Yang Yang's understanding and insight. He is really a guy who can surprise people anytime and anywhere!"

After finishing speaking, Valdano smiled playfully, apparently having a higher opinion of Yang Yang, and even faintly admiring him.

Manuel Redondo didn't understand what Valdano meant, nor did he see what was so good about Yang Yang, but he understood Valdano's attitude.

In a word, Yang Yang is very good, very good, even too good to be good!
But, can he save Real Madrid from the fire tonight?

If this game really loses to Atletico Madrid and is double-killed by rivals in the same city, then the coach Ancelotti's coaching position is also worrying, because in Redondo's memory, Real Madrid has not been double-killed by Atletico Madrid for many, many years.

Can Yang Yang really turn the tide again?

…………

…………

Another corner defense!

Atletico Madrid's attack on the left, Griezmann's breakthrough with the ball, was blocked by Carvajal from the bottom line, and gave the opponent a corner kick. Real Madrid was like a big enemy.

The whole world knows that Real Madrid's corner defense is a dead end.

Atletico Madrid obviously placed a heavy bet, because the game time has entered 10 minutes, and it is coming to an end, and they also hope to score a goal in a corner kick attack.

As long as one goal is needed, as long as Real Madrid can be defeated, Atletico Madrid will win!

The two central defenders Miranda and Godin both entered Real Madrid's penalty area, plus the original Mandzukic and Torres, Atletico Madrid's tall players all rushed into Real Madrid's penalty area, waiting for Turan's corner kick.

Real Madrid is also very aware of their own weaknesses, and their nerves are tense up and down, as if they are facing a big enemy.

"Everyone pay attention, cheer up!" Yang Yang clapped vigorously and shouted loudly.

It was at this moment that many people suddenly realized that the captain's armband was actually on Yang Yang's arm.

This is not surprising. Captain Ramos was injured and absent, and vice-captain Marcelo was suspended for accumulating yellow cards. Yang Yang, the third captain, naturally had to take over, but he did not have much sense of presence before, so that everyone forgot.

"Calm down, pay attention to your target, don't miss the position!" Yang Yang continued to shout loudly, reminding his teammates.

"Come on, we must be able to defend, and we must be able to win the opponent!"

Atletico Madrid players also tensed up, and the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands opened their eyes even more, hoping to see that Atletico Madrid players on the field could take advantage of this corner kick and take advantage of Real Madrid's years of chronic illness to break through the opponent's goal.

As long as one goal, the wish of more than half a century can be realized!

Turan took a deep breath, ran forward quickly, stepped on a familiar pace, and quickly took a high-level corner kick. After a beautiful arc, it fell straight into the Real Madrid penalty area.
