Chapter 1255 This is going to be tricky!
Zidane let out a long sigh.

When Real Madrid wanted to send Makelele away, he tried his best to dissuade him. Unfortunately, Florentino did not listen to what he said at the time. At that time, the chairman of Real Madrid was dazzled by the success of the previous three seasons.

But in the following three years, professional football taught him the most painful lesson.

Now, Florentino has made a comeback. Although he pays more attention to defensive players than before, he is actually far inferior to frontcourt attackers. This is not only true of Real Madrid, but also of Barcelona.

No, how fragile is Barcelona's defense, but has Barcelona signed up?

No, not only not, but also loaned out Alexander Song.

For these giant teams, sticking to their football traditions is like some kind of political correctness.

But precisely because of the pain of Makelele, Zidane decided to avoid similar tragedies from happening again, otherwise, he was very worried about whether the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship could continue.

……

When it came to this heavy topic, both of them suddenly lost interest in chatting.

At this time, Ancelotti also suddenly appeared in the coffee shop. Seeing the two sitting opposite each other, the Italian came over with a smile, pulled out a chair beside Yang Yang and sat down.

"What are you talking about?" Ancelotti asked with interest.

Yang Yang and Zidane looked at each other and laughed.

"We're talking about the Barcelona fans outside, and how will the game be played tomorrow?" Yang Yang replied.

Ancelotti immediately regained his spirits, "Just now, I was also worrying about this matter, what do you think?"

It is you who are asking, but actually looking at Yang Yang.

Zidane is an assistant coach. His opinion should have been raised at the coaching staff meeting. Yang Yang's thoughts are what Ancelotti is most concerned about now. He also knows very well that he must stabilize Yang Yang, the number one star in the team, no matter what.

If even Yang Yang stood up and doubted him, then it would be difficult for him to persist until the end of the season.

Yang Yang frowned slightly, pondered for a while, organized his argument, and then said: "I think Mascherano should return to the starting lineup."

"Modric performed very well in training, and you saw it against Levante before." Ancelotti explained nervously.

Yang Yang nodded, "I know, Modric played really well against Levante, but Levante is not Barcelona."

Ancelotti realized that he was a little too nervous, and calmed down, "Tell me."

"Barcelona's midfield is very impactful. Harvey has basically lost his main position. I can conclude that this game should be Iniesta's partner Rakitic. These two players have a strong impact and their ability to push forward is very good."

Both Ancelotti and Zidane nodded in unison, Yang Yang's words hit the point.

"I don't deny that Modric is still the best organizational midfielder in world football today, but I can feel that his body is indeed declining. If he is allowed to continue to play in the first half of the game, not only he can't stand it, but his partner Toni Kroos can't stand it either. Playing against Schalke [-] is the best proof."

In the replay after the game, everyone could see that Toni Kroos was like a headless fly, he could only blindly chase Schalke Zero Four, because he had no choice.

"Between the defense and the midfield, we need a solid player. His presence can greatly relieve the defensive pressure on Modric and another midfielder, allowing Modric to invest more in organization and offense."

Ancelotti and Zidane are not idiots. When Yang Yang said this, they all understood, and even reacted, aware of Yang Yang's tactical proposition for this century derby.

"Do you think it is still necessary to play defensive counterattack?" Ancelotti asked.

Yang Yang smiled, "Luis Enrique played defensive counterattacks at the Bernabéu."

After that game, Enrique was also criticized. Many people believed that it was because he gave up the traditional pass and control that he finally lost the game and ended in a disastrous defeat.

But only the Real Madrid players who actually participated in the game knew that the game was actually played very dangerously.

"From the strategic point of view of the whole season, we lead by four points, and the ones eager to win the game should not be us, but the opponents. They must win in order to shorten the gap as soon as possible." Yang Yang reminded.

When it comes to strategy, the Chinese have never lost to anyone, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is a great treasure.

For Barcelona, ​​if they can't take advantage of the Nou Camp to win Real Madrid and shorten the point gap, then pin their hopes on other teams and Real Madrid's own mistakes, it would be too passive.

So they should be more anxious than Real Madrid.

On the contrary, Real Madrid has a four-point advantage. Even if this game is a draw, they can still accept it.

"Judging from a single game, Neymar has been in poor form recently, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are in very hot form, but be careful, Cristiano Ronaldo needs space, and Messi needs the ball. We need to squeeze them together so that the two of them cannot form a synergy."

Ancelotti drew inferences from one instance, and soon realized what Yang Yang meant.

"You mean, let Basara come out to play, so that their defensive counterattack can't be done, and it will be transformed into a tough battle, forcing them to have to run back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, exhausted, counterattack when they have a chance, and consume their energy if they don't have a chance."

Yang Yang nodded, "Busquets has just returned from injury, so I don't know if he will start. Iniesta is no longer at his peak. Although Rakitic is in good form, Barcelona has also been fighting on two fronts recently, which consumes a lot of energy, especially against Manchester City. Therefore, the first half may be able to cope, but the second half..."

When Zidane heard this, he immediately understood, "Barcelona is like this, and we are even more like this."

Recently, Real Madrid has not only fought on two fronts, but on three fronts. Among them, they have encountered Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in succession at home. This kind of hard-fought schedule is really fatal.

In addition, the next quarter-finals of the Champions League will also encounter Atletico Madrid, which consumes too much.

"That's right, so we can't take the initiative to fight consumption with our opponents."

Ancelotti and Zidane looked at each other, and they both saw the look in each other's eyes.

Yang Yang's analysis is very complete. From the season strategy to the single game match, he really has done enough work, and he has a good judgment on the situation of Real Madrid and Barcelona. In summary, playing defensive counterattack is indeed a very reasonable choice.

It is good for Real Madrid to compress the activity space of Barcelona's front trident and increase the distance between Barcelona's three lines, so that they have to make more runs and tandems.

But if you want to limit Barcelona's front trident, someone must be in the midfielder position.

Yang Yang didn't say it, but Ancelotti could sense what he meant from inside and outside the words, that is, Real Madrid needs Mascherano and Illarramendi, instead of using two technical midfielders to form a double midfielder like Schalke [-]
To put it bluntly, Yang Yang believes that Modric and Toni Kroos have found it difficult to regain the dominance of the game in the first half.

Is this really the case?
Ancelotti has reservations, but he must also pay attention to Yang Yang's opinion.

As the world's top coach, Ancelotti also reflected on it afterwards. He also realized that he was a little too hasty, which made the players in the locker room have some doubts and distrust of him.

Now, he really can't make Yang Yang doubt again, otherwise, the next situation will be even worse.

"I'll go back and discuss with them now. I will come up with a plan tonight and have a meeting tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Ancelotti drank the cup of coffee in front of him that had been sitting for a while, stood up and said goodbye.

Zidane hesitated for a moment, curled his lips towards Yang Yang, and followed him helplessly.

As an assistant coach, he also has to stay up late.

Yang Yang was the most relaxed. After watching the two leave, he shook his head with a smile and signaled the waiter in the coffee shop to bring him another cup of hot water.

If you really want to be Zidane's assistant coach, how can you have this kind of leisure in the future?
…………

…………

On the evening of March 22, at 21:[-], at Camp Nou in Barcelona.

In the eighth round of No.20 in La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.

Barcelona played at home with their strongest lineup, the goalkeeper is Bravo, the defense is Alba, Mathieu, Pique and Alves, the midfielder is Busquets, Iniesta and Rakitic are front, and the trident is Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Barcelona has been setting off smoke bombs before the game, threatening that Busquets will not be able to play in time, but in fact, Barcelona's midfielder appeared in the starting lineup. As for how much he has recovered, no one knows.

Real Madrid has a four-three-three lineup. The goalkeeper is Courtois, the defense is Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfielder is Javier Mascherano, David Silva and Modric are in the middle, and the frontcourt is a combination of Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

Suarez was put on the bench for this game. As for when he will play, it needs to be decided according to the situation on the field.

Obviously, Ancelotti listened to Yang Yang's advice, showed weakness at the beginning, and took the initiative to retreat.

At the start of the game, as soon as Yang Yang got the ball, he was immediately booed by nearly [-] fans in the stands of the Camp Nou stadium. They were obviously trying to interfere with Yang Yang in this way, and it would be best to scare him to pieces.

Real Madrid's active retreat surprised Barcelona.

In the past few years, Real Madrid's performance has shined through, especially in the past two years, they have taken the initiative to play against Barcelona.

Luis Enrique was also frowning on the sidelines. His original strategy was to fight Real Madrid out, but he didn't expect that the old fox Ancelotti would shrink back.

Now it's tricky!
The Barcelona coach kept rubbing his hands, a little anxious.
