Chapter 1639
Yang Yang's victory!
After Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain [-]-[-] in an away game, Manu Carleño, the famous host of Radio Serre in Spain, highly praised the performance of Yang Yang and Real Madrid in his program, thinking that the performance of Real Madrid is the portrayal of the head coach.

Ever-victorious general Yang Yang brought victory to Real Madrid!

"After the setbacks of Lopetegui and Solari, Real Madrid fell into a vortex of self-doubt, but the arrival of Yang Yang brought a solution to this team."

"He is facing many problems, ranging from light to serious, urgent and slow, the most urgent of which is football itself. The problem comes from the field and from his players. They lack self-confidence. From the beginning of preparations for this season's preseason, many people, including me, think that Yang Yang will fail."

"Today's Real Madrid is no longer the invincible Real Madrid when it won five consecutive championships!"

"But Yang Yang brought a solution to the problem. The seven-game losing streak in the pre-season warm-up match was not intentional, but he didn't pay attention to the results of the warm-up match at all. But in the official game, Yang Yang showed a mature and stable performance. At the same time, he showed a coaching level that did not match his age."

"Four consecutive victories in La Liga, big scores every game, zero conceded goals, this kind of performance is amazing at any time. Anyone who faces Paris Saint-Germain at this time will want to win the opponent in one go. But Yang Yang showed amazing calmness and rationality at critical moments, just like when he was facing a shot in the penalty area."

"The beginning of the Parc des Princes made people think that Yang Yang was going to fight Paris Saint-Germain, but after Paris Saint-Germain created a threat for the first time, Yang Yang decisively signaled the team to retreat after Di Maria's shot was bravely blocked by Varane."

"This is not a sudden and hasty adjustment, but a purposeful arrangement, because it is not difficult to see from the subsequent performance of the game that Yang Yang's focus in this game is basically on defense, and counterattack is his choice after stabilizing the defense."

Manu Carlegno said that the victories made people feel the changes brought by Yang Yang, but what is really surprising is his rotation mechanism for the team and the use of every player.

"Against Paris Saint-Germain, the two goals came from Mbappe and Vinicius. The front center is Jovic. The tridents are very young, but they all showed strong attack power. This makes people have no doubts. These three players definitely have the strength to play the main role in Real Madrid."

"At the same time, Ferland Mendy is remarkable in defense. The high-speed attack that created the second goal on the offensive end is eye-catching. Frankie de Jong made a precise oblique pass. The organization, passing and defense in the midfield are also quite stable, with a maturity that young players do not have."

"Dericht completely froze Icardi. His physical confrontation ability is very good, and he didn't lose the wind when he faced Motin later. The young player Valverde who came off the bench was also impressive. This is his second appearance this season. It is said that Yang Yang likes this young midfielder who is both offensive and defensive."

Manu Carlegno believes that Yang Yang has coached Real Madrid for two months, but he has brought huge changes to the team.

"Many people only see that Real Madrid invested [-] million yuan to restructure the team, but in fact, Real Madrid only introduced five players, of which Rodrygo was finalized early."

"What is impressive is that Vinicius mentioned Yang Yang in an interview with the media after the game. He said that before the summer training camp, he had privately started physical strengthening training under Yang Yang's suggestion, which made him perform better and more explosive since the start of this season."

"In this game, he cut in from the left and volleyed with his right foot to score the goal, which made people see the shadow of Yang Yang in the past."

……

In addition to Serre Radio, Spanish media such as Marca, AS and El Pais were full of praise for Real Madrid's away victory over Paris Saint-Germain, believing that this victory gave Real Madrid an advantage in the competition for the top spot in the group.

"Yang Yang is reinjecting the genes of victory into Real Madrid!"

Alfredo, editor-in-chief of AS, even said, "This is a Real Madrid full of hope!"

But there are also many controversies.

The French newspaper Le Parisien wrote an article criticizing Yang Yang's Real Madrid, believing that the team's performance at the Parc des Princes was very cowardly.

"They stole a victory from Paris with an unconventional football, which is nothing to be proud of!"

Le Parisien believes that Real Madrid's football has always been proactive, and should not adopt a defensive counterattack posture like the Real Madrid coached by Yang Yang. This is obviously not in line with Real Madrid's traditional values.

"On the contrary, Paris Saint-Germain, which lost the game, deserves more respect. Tuchel's team controlled the game for most of the time. They performed better than Real Madrid, but unfortunately, injuries defeated them. The conservative Yang Yang just retreated from the Parc des Princes by luck."

Not only Le Parisien, but also many media reporters were not satisfied with Yang Yang's performance in the first game of the Champions League.

A large part of the media and fans are because they have not been optimistic about Yang Yang’s achievements in coaching Real Madrid, but part of it is because they feel that Yang Yang did not bring Ajax’s total attack to Real Madrid.

Dutch gold medal football reporter Michel van der Sma said in a column, "Yang Yang is rapidly entering a mature middle age from his youth when he coached Ajax."

The Dutch reporter believes that Yang Yang at the Parc des Princes looks more mature and stable than the passion he had when he coached Ajax.

"It's not surprising at all. On the contrary, it proves that Yang Yang is growing and making progress."

"As early as when Yang Yang coached Ajax, many world-renowned coaches including Van Gaal and Ferguson said that even if Yang Yang won the Champions League, it was only the beginning of his coaching career. If he wants to continue to succeed, he needs to make himself more comprehensive and not obsessed with Ajax's style."

"Nowadays, in Real Madrid, the astonishing investment of more than 5 million euros in the season, the huge performance pressure, the anticipation of countless fans, and the expectations of the club's management have all transformed into a heavy burden on Yang Yang's shoulders. He has no way to be as fearless as he was when he was coaching Ajax."

"He began to know how to be in awe!"

"This is a good thing, because only in this way can we move forward and go further."

Vandersma firmly believed that Yang Yang's conservatism was just a compromise he had to make in order to achieve results because of the current enemy.

"But in fact, in La Liga, Real Madrid still insists on offensive football. It can be seen that Yang Yang is still the passionate Yang Yang in his bones, and his heart still desires offensive football."

Van der Sma finally appealed, hoping to give Yang Yang more time.

"I believe he will soon prove to the world that he is still the same Yang Yang!"

…………

After the first round of the Champions League group stage, no team has been as controversial as Real Madrid.

Facing Paris Saint-Germain, which also has the strength of the top four of the Champions League, although the latter is full of injuries, Real Madrid won [-]-[-] away. No matter where this report card is placed, it is at least an excellent score.

But it may be because the media and fans have so high expectations of Yang Yang that they all feel that although Real Madrid won, it is not glorious to win, at least it is not beautiful to win.

On the contrary, in the European professional football circle, Yang Yang's victory was unanimously affirmed. Even Tuchel publicly stated at the post-match press conference, "Real Madrid tonight is really desperate!"

"We're annoyed, but there's nothing we can do about our opponent!"

Of course, Tuchel later explained that the reason why there was no way was that many of the main players were injured and retired, but this somewhat confirmed the professionals' views on Real Madrid's victory.

More importantly, this game will determine the situation of qualifying for the group to some extent.

In another game, Bruges drew [-]-[-] at home to Galatasaray, which allowed Real Madrid to reach the top with three points.

……

Compared with Real Madrid's group stage, Ajax's first game is also an away game, challenging Naples.

As a result, the old and cunning Ancelotti taught the young Ajax a lesson and set the rules.

Ajax played very unrestrained throughout the game. Ten Hag continued Yang Yang's previous tactical system. Although many players were lost, the team's young players filled the loopholes very well. Ajax is still invincible in the Eredivisie.

But in Europe, facing Naples, Ajax had a 60.00% ball possession rate and shot 23 times, but only four shots were on target.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Ajax continued to attack until 10 minutes before being scored by Mertens and Llorente in the No. 80, 90 and No. [-] minutes.

Ancelotti obviously made a plan before moving, that is, let Ajax attack violently first, and Naples defended with all their strength in a four-four-two formation. They defended until the second half and the end of the game. Ajax began to lose their physical fitness.

The defending champion lost the first game, and the prospect of Ajax's Champions League group stage is somewhat worrying.

Especially in another game, Salzburg beat Genk of Belgium [-]-[-] at home, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for Ajax to advance to the group.

In the next second round, against Salzburg at home, Ten Hag's Ajax must win.

……

In La Liga, Real Madrid, who had just returned from a tough battle against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, challenged Sevilla away.

Yang Yang once again showed the enemy's weakness and played in a four-two-three formation. The whole game was dominated by defense, forcing Sevilla to have no chance to shoot the goal. Real Madrid, in the No. 604 minute, relied on Suarez's goal to beat the opponent [-]-[-] in the away game and scored three points again.

After this battle, Yang Yang once again received mixed reviews.

Especially before the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony held in Milan the next day, some media reporters asked face to face, why is there such a big difference between coaching Ajax and coaching Real Madrid?
