Chapter 797 If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight

The night was as cool as water, and La Moraleja was silent.

Yang Yang is sitting in the study room at home, facing the huge LCD screen in front of him. The TV is connected to a laptop, playing the video of the last few Barcelona games that Yang Yang just got from Paco Yesterdam today.

He watched intently, kept studying his opponent, held a notepad and a pen in both hands, and recorded his own experience and thoughts on it from time to time. Before he knew it, he had already recorded several full pages.

He is not a manager, but studying opponents is a habit he has developed over the years of playing football, and it can help him perform better on the pitch and play better.

Although he is an opponent, even to a certain extent, Yang Yang does not have a good impression of Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​but he still agrees with a football philosophy that Cruyff advocated.

Not Barcelona's pass control, but reading the game.

When Yang Yang was still playing football at Ajax, Van Basten explained to him about the "momentum" on the football field, following the trend, making the best use of the situation, these can change the outcome of the game, but if you want to grasp and use this trend, you must first be able to see it.

This requires the ability to read the game.

To put it simply, it is when and what to do.

Does it sound easy?
But in reality, it's difficult.

The Chinese have a saying that the authorities are obsessed.

In a football field with a length of 100 meters and a width of 50 meters, 22 players from two teams, plus a referee, run back and forth in this space, chasing a small football, wanting to understand and clearly judge the situation on the field at all times, which is quite a test of a player's ability to read the game.

A player who lacks the ability to read the game will become overwhelmed on the court, not knowing what he should do and what he should not do, just like a central defender who easily loses his position and a midfielder who sticks too much to the ball.

If a team lacks the ability to read the game, then the team will not be able to play. They will make wrong decisions and judgments. When they have the advantage of the game, they will organize the offense quite disorderly and poorly.

Even to a certain extent, whether you can read the game is an important basis for measuring whether a team is strong.

In order to improve the ability in this area, in addition to personal talent, experience and accumulation are more important.

Real Madrid's current ability to read games is obviously much worse than Barcelona's. This makes Real Madrid's team lineup not lose to Barcelona in terms of cards and strength, or even surpass their opponents. But when it comes to the game, it is obviously not as dominant as Barcelona.

Of course, there is a more important reason behind it, Barcelona has a more mature tactical system.

But there is no perfect team in this world, and no perfect tactics.

Barcelona made several serious mistakes this summer.

The first is to let go of Eto'o, but failed to introduce Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Villa, which led to a significant decline in the team's offensive ability in the frontcourt. Several zero-to-zero games this season, and just lost to Rubin Kazan are all signs of weak offense.

Another point is that the team's current lineup of the first team is seriously insufficient. After selling players such as Eto'o, Hleb, Sylvinho, Caceres and Good Johnson, although the main lineup has little impact, it has a great impact on the team's bench thickness.

The season is long, and it is impossible for any team to rely on the main lineup to maintain the entire season, because hard-working players will be injured, all will be in poor condition, and all will be physically weak.

This is the problem Messi is facing now. The club and the national team are busy and exhausted. As a result, neither the national team nor the club has shown his best form. He is under pressure from Maradona and cannot help the team beat Rubin Kazan.

In addition, Harvey is also the most important player of the team, and the pressure of the game is very heavy. So far this season, he has played almost every game, including the national team game, which is very scary.

The lineup is too short and the task of the game is too heavy, which will become another major problem facing Barcelona.

Also, Henry is 32 years old and has fallen from his peak state, but there is currently no suitable candidate in the Barcelona team to replace him, and without Henry on the left, Barcelona's offense lacks a wing.

In order to change this problem, Barcelona is intensively discussing the transfer of Robinho with Manchester City, and it is said that some progress has been made, but it will be after January at the earliest.

In addition to Robinho, Barcelona also took a fancy to Ajax's talented striker Luis Suarez.

Yang Yang, who is only 22 years old, performed very well in the Eredivisie. Last season, he played 43 times, scored 28 goals and [-] assists. Many people regard him as the most talented Ajax striker after Yang Yang.

This season, Suarez's performance is still very good. He scored [-] goals and [-] assists in the first ten rounds of the Eredivisie. He played five games in the Champions League qualifiers and the group stage, scoring [-] goals and [-] assists. It can be said that they are quite eye-catching statistics.

However, everyone knows that today's Eredivisie is no longer the Eredivisie that Yang Yang used to be. Including Ajax and PSV, the overall competitiveness is not as good as it was then, so Suarez's data is still somewhat watery.

Whether it is Robinho or Suarez, it means that Barcelona has realized its own problems.

Of course, although Barcelona has many problems, one thing is certain, that is, after Liverpool lost many stars, Barcelona is the most powerful team in the world, not one of them.

…………

…………

A faint fragrance seemed to float over.

Before Yang Yang could react, Su Ye was already sitting beside him, stretched out his hands and hugged Yang Yang's neck from the side, and lightly scented his face, then moved to his ear, and asked in a breathless voice, "What's the matter?"

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Yang Yang's eyebrows, as if she wanted to flatten his frowning brows. This delicate and naive behavior made Yang Yang feel a little funny.

Although she is always reserved in front of others, but in private, she is quite gentle and affectionate.

And as long as the nanny, assistants and bodyguards are away at night, this big house belongs to the two of them completely private world.

"It's nothing, I was thinking about how to kill this team." Yang Yang smiled lightly, and quickly changed the subject, "Aren't you going to see your [Snail House] tonight?"

This is a popular TV series in China. Su Ye is familiar with the director and actors, and he also likes this TV series very much. It's just that he was busy filming in China and didn't have time, but now he is chasing after it every day.

According to Wei Zheng, the tailor-made movie he invested in for Su Ye this time was planned by the director of Snail House.

"I can't just snub you just to catch up with the show." Su Ye said with a smile, "However, Barcelona is indeed quite strong. What's the trouble with playing against this kind of team? It's just like how Liverpool played against Barcelona before. Can't you defend and counterattack?"

"Of course." Yang Yang nodded, this should be the safest tactical play, "But this is not in line with Real Madrid's tradition."

"Huh?" Su Ye didn't understand.

"The Real Madrid team is different from all other teams. They have higher requirements for football. In a more understandable way, they just want to use the best stars to play the most beautiful football and achieve the best results."

"So, like Liverpool's strict defense tactics, they can't accept it?" Su Ye asked.

Yang Yang shook his head, "If you can win, you can naturally accept it, but the problem is that even if Real Madrid is strictly defending, they may not be able to defend Barcelona's pass-and-control attack. If they are strictly defending, they will lose..."

This is not difficult to understand.

Yang Yang is the No.1 football player in the world, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the top center forward in the world, Kaka, Robben, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and others are all first-tier stars in the world. A lineup formed by such players can only take a defensive attitude to face Barcelona?

No matter from which point of view, it is unreasonable.

This is the biggest difference between Real Madrid and Liverpool.

"Then you will choose to press out and attack?" Su Ye asked again.

Yang Yang shook his head again, "There is still a month before the game. Although Benitez didn't reveal anything, I guess he wouldn't take such a risk. You know, playing against Barcelona at the Nou Camp is simply asking for death."

Su Ye was now confused by Yang Yang.

Strict defense is not enough, and it is not enough to take the initiative to attack, so how to fix it?
"This is the biggest headache for Benitez now. No one can say for sure whether he will win or lose. Barcelona may not be sure that they will be able to beat us, but how to keep the team's face at the Nou Camp and satisfy the management and fans. This is the main premise, and then seek victory on this basis."

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Regardless of whether it is the head coach or the players, the benefits of joining a top giant team like Real Madrid are countless. Only the best players and coaches in the world can play in such a team. It can even be said that joining a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona can turn an unknown boy into a world-famous star.

But the world has always been fair. While enjoying benefits and favorable conditions, playing and coaching such a team will inevitably bring enormous pressure and face cruel competition.

Although Yang Yang stands out from thousands of players, has won two World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or awards in a row, and is in sight of winning three in a row, but he is still trembling, walking on thin ice, not daring to be careless.

Because he knows very well that as long as there is the slightest carelessness, he will be like Ronaldinho back then, and everything he has in front of him will leave him in an instant.

Such cases are not uncommon in the history of football, and they abound.

But thinking of this, Yang Yang's hand around Su Ye's slender waist tightened even more.
