Chapter 1608 Do you want Pogba?

"Florentino wants me back!"

As soon as Zidane finished speaking, Yang Yang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then noticed Zidane's narrow expression, and he knew it in his heart.

This guy deliberately wants to see his own jokes.

Based on his understanding of Florentino and his status in world football today, Florentino would definitely not do such a thing, otherwise, Florentino would not be Florentino.

"As the technical director?" Yang Yang asked casually.

Zidane suddenly smiled wryly. He knew he couldn't fool Yang Yang, so he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, but I declined."

The famous Argentine Jorge Valdano resigned because of the poor performance of the team before. He resigned from the position of Real Madrid technical director for many years, so that this position has been vacant until now. With Yang Yang taking over the coaching position of Real Madrid, it is a foregone conclusion that Zidane returns to Real Madrid. The most ideal position is the technical director.

Yang Yang knew the reason why he declined, so he nodded silently.

Zidane's status in Real Madrid is very prominent. Needless to say, his career achievements. He coached Real Madrid for three years and achieved five consecutive championships. This can be described as an amazing legend. Returning as the technical director is also a matter of course.

But as the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier.

What is Real Madrid's biggest problem right now?
One of the big problems is the aging of the lineup. Many people, including David Silva, Modric, Ramos, and even Marcelo and Suarez, are over [-] years old.

Back then, Zidane was able to manage Real Madrid and manage the locker room. Apart from Yang Yang’s help, an important reason was his own charm. He had a very good relationship with these players. But if now, as the technical director of Real Madrid, he turned around and fired these players, what would they think of Zidane?
In the future, when Zidane coaches again, how will he win the trust of the players?
Another very important question is Yang Yang.

Zidane is very clear that Yang Yang is an independent person with his own thoughts and ideas. If he is the technical director of Real Madrid, he must cooperate with Yang Yang in everything and take Yang Yang's ideas as the criterion, which he is unwilling to accept.

After all, a year ago, Yang Yang was still his assistant.

Therefore, instead of being the technical director of Real Madrid and being in a dilemma, it is better to simply refuse and protect yourself wisely.

As a legendary star in the past, how prominent his coaching career is, Zidane has no shortage of places to go, but one of the important reasons why he has no thoughts is that he is waiting for a suitable coaching opportunity.

As a successful professional player and head coach, Zidane has always been a shrewd and time-conscious person, otherwise, he would not have resolutely left Real Madrid after five consecutive championships.

If he didn't go to Lianzhan a year ago, then it would not be Lopetegui who dismissed get out of class last year, but Zidane.

……

"I guess, after you took office, you must vigorously support De Bruyne, but you have to tell me, do you want to introduce Pogba?" Zidane asked with great concern.

Paul Pogba, this is the favorite player in Zida's heart. From his first season in charge of Real Madrid, no, from the beginning of Pogba's emergence, Zidane wanted to introduce him to the Bernabeu, but he never succeeded.

Player transfer is a very complicated systematic project. Pogba failed to come to Real Madrid for many reasons.

The most recent time was in 26. At that time, there were so many talents in the midfield of Real Madrid that there was no way to make room for Pogba. This allowed Pogba to leave Manchester United. Now, Modric and David Silva are both old.

But just this season, Yang Yang trained Frankie De Jong and Ndongbele in Ajax.

There is a saying in the world of football that it is better to be familiar with the raw.

If Yang Yang came to Real Madrid, he would definitely prefer to choose players he is familiar with.

Yang Yang can be said to be the person who knows Zidane's hopes for Pogba best. He also knows that it is almost Pogba's best opportunity right now, but he doesn't think Manchester United will let him go easily. More importantly, he has more choices.

"Frankly speaking, he is not my first choice." Yang Yang said frankly.

"why?"

"There are many reasons. Manchester United will not let people go. In addition, I think Pogba himself is also a problem."

Zidane nodded, Pogba did have some problems of his own at Manchester United.

When a professional player encounters this kind of thing, the best way should be to better display his own value and then seek a transfer, instead of tossing around like Pogba. This emotional performance will make all teams interested in him worry.

Zidane knows who Yang Yang is.

Yang Yang didn't like Neymar very much at the beginning, so naturally he doesn't appreciate Pogba too much now.

Of course, the professional head coach is more concerned with the interests of the whole team. Yang Yang's first choice should be Frankie De Jong, but if the introduction of this player is not good, then he will definitely choose Pogba.

Zidane still clearly remembers that Yang Yang once asserted that in his mind, the two strongest attacking midfielders in European football in the past season were Pogba and De Bruyne.

But right now, the younger favourite, Frankie de Jong, certainly has the upper hand.

"Ajax's players are really good. If you can add to Real Madrid and integrate into the team, you don't need to worry about it in the next five years, or even the next ten years!" Zidane praised repeatedly.

Yang Yang did a better job than him, because he trained a young and talented Ajax.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why Florentino values ​​him the most.

"Don't worry, I generally know it well, you will definitely see a completely new Real Madrid!" Yang Yang smiled confidently.

After all, Ajax is a small team. Although the lineup is good, its strength is not too strong. There is not much room for Yang Yang to strategize.

But Real Madrid is different. Even if the team sits on the bench, they are all recognized geniuses like Isco, Ceballos, and Vinicius. The bench lineup is extremely strong. Yang Yang is confident to bring this team out.

Zidane is also convinced of this!
…………

…………

According to the schedule, after the vacation, Ajax began the drill and preparation of targeted tactics.

Yang Yang started a tactical meeting every day, specializing in Liverpool's games.

Among them, Yang Yang repeatedly analyzed the most in-depth game with the players, which was the No.30 second round of the Premier League this season. Liverpool played at Anfield Stadium and narrowly beat Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-].

There is nothing to say about the process of the game itself. Liverpool scored in the opening ten and six minutes. Tottenham Hotspur equalized in the No. 6 minute of the second half.

But this is not the point. What Yang Yang wants to talk about is the formation of the two teams.

Yang Yang mentioned this game repeatedly because he thought it was very enlightening. Liverpool insisted on their four-three-three. In the first hour or so, Liverpool controlled the midfield, but this was not because of how well Liverpool played, but because of Tottenham Hotspur's own problems.

Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur started with three defenders. Through the three-five-two formation, the purpose is to suppress the midfielder, push the defense forward as much as possible, and put more games in Liverpool's half.

On the contrary, in the second half, Pochettino replaced Davidson Sanchez with Sun Xingmin. After changing from 1 to [-], Tottenham Hotspur came alive instead, equalizing the score in just [-] minute, and then chasing Liverpool.

The problem lies here.

Yang Yang believes that one of the main reasons why Tottenham lost was that they lacked a right back.

After Kyle Walker moved to Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur used Trippier and Aurier successively on the right back, but their defensive awareness is problematic, and it is difficult to suppress the opponent when defending on the wing.

Another point is that Harry Kane's state is not ideal, and midfielder Ali still failed to find his position on the court, which made Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder unable to suppress Liverpool.

After the change of [-], the double midfielders protected the defense, allowing Sane and Salah to cut in from the wing, and someone could protect the central defender at the first time. This is crucial when playing against Liverpool.

The biggest difference between Liverpool this season and last season is the defense.

The huge sum of money to introduce goalkeeper Alisson, coupled with the maturity and stability of central defender Van Dijk, makes Liverpool stronger overall.

At the tactical level, Klopp has also learned from previous experience and lessons. He no longer just blindly adopts a high-pressing and fast-paced style, but incorporates more control and rhythm changes.

As the saying goes, one learns one's wisdom. From Dortmund to Liverpool, Klopp's overall coaching level is obviously improving. He is very aware of the outside world's evaluation of him, especially the nickname of the six-10-minute team.
Therefore, Klopp's tactics in Liverpool this season are actually more conservative than last season.

The Red Army can come to this day, the front trident is not as eye-catching as last season, but the defense is particularly impressive, which is why Alisson and Van Dijk shine.

After understanding the opponent's thinking and understanding what the opponent wants to do, then the next step is to see the tricks in a targeted manner.

Ajax is different from Tottenham Hotspur. Yang Yang's team is best at four-two-three-one, double midfielder configuration, and the two sides also have a strong impact, especially Ashraf's side on the right.

How to play to their own advantages?How to beat the opponent?

This requires Yang Yang to think carefully.
