Chapter 1367 He can't defend at all!
Similar to the game process, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] in the Copa del Rey final, which did not arouse too much discussion.

Whether it was Mathieu's red card plus a penalty kick, or Real Madrid's final defense of the Copa del Rey, the media and fans' reactions were relatively flat, but the Catalan media cried out for the team, and most people thought it was reasonable.

On the contrary, Yang Yang's penalty kick straight into the middle attracted the attention of the media and fans even more after the game.

German Bild interviewed Barcelona goalkeeper ter Stegen after the game to talk about his views on Yang Yang's penalty.

The German little lion was indignant about this, thinking that Yang Yang's penalty did not respect him enough, but when the German reporter asked how to respect him, the German little lion couldn't tell.

It's impossible to say that he jumped to the right side of the goal, and Yang Yang should hit the right side, is it considered respect for him?
Different from Totti's spoon penalty, although Yang Yang also paused during the run-up, the whole shot was very crisp and neat, without the slightest sloppy, and naturally there was no factor of playing the goalkeeper.

Even the German newspaper Bild stated in the comments that if you insist, Ter Stegen was deceived by Yang Yang, made a wrong judgment, and rushed to the right.

"In fact, as long as he stands still, Yang Yang's penalty will not be scored!"

But the German Bild also analyzed the mental state of the German goalkeeper at the time from the interview with Ter Stegen, and believed that this was where Yang Yang's penalty kick was brilliant. He completely grasped Ter Stegen's mentality.

"Yang Yang seldom takes penalty kicks, but every time he takes a penalty kick, he always hits and pushes straight to the middle. This has to be shocking, because he can always deceive the opponent's goalkeeper, but I am looking forward to it. If he takes a penalty again next time, will he still push straight to the middle? What if the opponent's goalkeeper is really standing directly in the middle of the goal?"

"I'm looking forward to seeing the moment Yang Yang is saved from a penalty kick. His expression will be very interesting."

Watching superstars lose is what the media and fans talk about the most.

……

Regarding his penalty kick, Yang Yang said in an interview with the media after the game that he was purely improvising and adapting to the situation.

"I asked my teammates for their opinions. Ramos and Marcelo gave me two completely different opinions. One of them asked me to take a penalty to the left, and the other asked me to take a penalty to the right. I have a big head, so I decided to play freely."

"The moment before I hit the goal, I saw that the goalkeeper was about to jump sideways, so I made an impromptu decision to push straight to the middle."

Yang Yang's explanation was a bit perfunctory and was accepted by fans, but professionals would not agree with it. However, Yang Yang was much more modest about his [-]% penalty kick percentage in official games.

"I don't think it means anything, because the next time I have a chance to take a penalty kick, it may be saved."

Yang Yang also said a lot of good things for Ter Stegen, thinking that he is a very capable goalkeeper, and he is still very young, "If I do it again, I may not be sure that I can score a penalty kick. He controls the goal very well."

"The luck component of this penalty kick is very important, it is really a bit of a fluke."

After winning the championship, naturally there is no need to add insult to injury, this is Yang Yang's consistent style.

After winning the Copa del Rey and achieving the double crown this season, Yang Yang is also full of expectations for the Champions League final a week later.

"If we can, of course we hope to win another championship at the San Siro Stadium. It would be a wonderful thing, but we also know that it will be very difficult because Atlético Madrid have performed very well this season. Whether it is in La Liga or in the Champions League, they are quite competitive."

"We know Atlético Madrid, we know Simeone, they will make the game very difficult, from the first minute to the last minute, they are always focused, which is a very painful challenge for their opponents."

Regarding Atletico Madrid, Yang Yang believes that the defense of the Sheets Corps is indeed very good, but if people only see their defense, it is one-sided, because the real Atletico Madrid's overall strength is also very good.

"They're not just good defensively. That's not all about them. They can also play beautiful football. In fact, they have played very beautifully in many games. Whether it is passing the ball or organizing and planning, they are very good."

Faced with such an opponent, Yang Yang believes that the most important thing to win is the team as a whole. Only when the team fights can Real Madrid have a chance to beat Atletico Madrid.

"In fact, we all know very well that as long as each of us focuses on our responsibilities, maintains a rigorous and meticulous unit, and everyone realizes their importance, then we are a strong team. We can win championships and beat all opponents."

Yang Yang's statement has only one purpose, which is to praise Atletico Madrid.

Whether Simeone can hear it or not, these two said, but the players of Atletico Madrid must have heard it. As for what they think, Yang Yang is not interested in guessing. If they can make them feel a little bit of identity, then Yang Yang's goal will be achieved.

In the game, the players' thinking is not unified, which is the most terrible thing.

After Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey, Simeone also accepted an interview with UEFA.

This is a warm-up for the Champions League final.

In the interview, Simeone said that the three most powerful teams in the world today are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid has defeated two of them, and will face the last one next.

"As early as the quarter-finals and semi-finals, I told my players that they are the best team in the world, and every match against them should be like playing a Champions League final. We have already experienced four Champions League finals this season, and this one at San Siro will be the fifth."

Simeone also talked about the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona and Bayern Munich, "Real Madrid's way of playing is more direct, with more changes, more offensive methods, and more stable defense. They have midfielders like Casemiro and Mascherano, which makes Real Madrid's offensive and defensive system more balanced."

Regarding the poor record against Real Madrid in the past few seasons, Simeone said that it is all in the past.

"Whether in the world of football or in real life, there is no such thing as revenge. It is a negative word. It reminds us of past failures. I don't think it is right."

"If you want me to say, I think the Champions League final is like a new opportunity, an opportunity to show our own level and progress. We hope to let everyone in the world see our progress through the same opponent."

Simeone also said that reaching the Champions League final twice in three years is already a great success, which shows that Atletico Madrid has become one of the best teams in Europe, and only a few teams are better than Atletico Madrid.

"Working hard has made us one of the top teams in Europe, but it is not easy to keep this position. The only way is to work hard in every game, especially like the next Champions League final. We need to show the level of hitting the Champions League. Every player must do it."

As for Real Madrid, Simeone believes that the most important player is Yang Yang.

"If possible, I hope not to see Yang Yang play in the Champions League final. He is a very troublesome player. We can freeze Messi, freeze Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. Facing Ribery, Robben and Lewandowski, we also have enough strategies to deal with it."

"But only when facing Yang Yang, we have no effective way, because he can't defend at all!"

Simeone is also quite helpless about this, "Many times, we think that we have successfully prevented him, but just when this thought pops up in our minds, he will use a sudden flash of light to completely defeat us. This is very scary, but there is nothing we can do."

"I can only say that facing Real Madrid with Yang Yang, each of us must maintain [-]% concentration and dedication. Only in this way can we restrain Yang Yang's performance to the maximum extent and block Real Madrid's attack."

Simeone also talked about another player, that is Casemiro. He believes that the presence of the Brazilian midfielder has made Real Madrid's midfielder better and made Real Madrid better integrated.

"His only flaw is his lack of Champions League final experience."

…………

The Copa del Rey final has just ended, and both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have started preparing for the Champions League final.

Yang Yang and Simeone were interviewed by the media successively and expressed their views on the Champions League final, which aroused heated discussions among the media and fans all over the world, especially the information revealed in the interviews between the two.

Although they are neither humble nor overbearing, there are still a lot of details revealed.

Successively won the La Liga championship and the Copa del Rey championship, but Real Madrid did not hold a celebration ceremony.

According to Marca and Aspen, this is a request from Yang Yang and Zidane, and they hope the team can handle it in a low-key manner.

Defeating Barcelona has always been within the plan of Yang Yang and Zidane. They don't think there is any suspense in this game. The real test is the Champions League final a week later. How to face Atletico Madrid is Real Madrid's problem.

After the King's Cup final, although they won the championship, the team did not make any movement at all, and everything was as usual, as if the final that just ended was not a final, and the team had never won the championship trophy.

This is true not only for clubs, but also for players.

The training is still training, and the preparation is still getting ready. The difference from usual is that after the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid announced that they will enter a closed training camp, declining interviews and interference from the outside, and focusing on preparing for the Champions League final.

During Real Madrid's preparations, UEFA also announced the referee for the Champions League final, the 41-year-old international referee Mark Clattenburg from England.

In the UEFA Champions League this season, Clattenburg has officiated six games, including the semi-final match between Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich at home, which Atletico Madrid won [-]-[-].

This also means that Atletico Madrid will be more familiar with the referee's enforcement style and standards than Real Madrid.
