Chapter 892 Only time can stop him!

Sure enough, it was still Yang Yang!
When the referee Iturralde blew the whistle for the end of the game, Guardiola stood on the sidelines, looking in the direction of the field with frowning, looking very depressed.

He lost again!

As early as when Yang Yang came off the bench, he was always worried, because he was once a very successful top star, so he knew very well that players at the level of Yang Yang and Messi often only need to seize a chance to rewrite the game.

Their personal ability and judgment of the game situation are too strong and excellent.

For superstars of this level, you can only try your best to block them, and don't expect to be able to freeze them.

Guardiola has to admit that he made a mistake today, especially in the use of Messi, but he really can't help it.

Benitez created a cage for Messi, and Guardiola's no-forward tactics pushed Messi into the cage, which directly caused Messi to not perform well throughout the game, and it can even be described as a downturn.

In fact, this is not accidental, every time Messi touches Benitez or Mourinho, it is like this.

Because these two head coaches are always trying to limit him.

The frontless tactic is a helpless choice. If Zlatan Ibrahimovic came to Barcelona, ​​then Guardiola would not need to adopt such a tactic at all, and he could also liberate Messi. There is no need for the Argentine superstar to directly face the opponent's central defender, giving him more tactical freedom.

Just like Yang Yang's situation in Real Madrid.

But now, Barcelona can't find a strong center at all, and Guardiola can only push Messi forward.

……

Zero to one, this is the final result of the first Century Derby of the season.

According to international practice, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Real Madrid finally won the Derby of the Century again by virtue of Yang Yang's lore goal.

Guardiola himself has to admit that Benitez is indeed very good in targeted tactics.

Barcelona only used one substitution throughout the game. Bojan replaced Villa, who had consumed too much energy, but Bojan did not perform at all after playing, which was not unexpected by Guardiola.

If nothing else, Bojan's trip to Barcelona will stop this season.

Guardiola hopes that the team can spare money to invest in the transfer market, and at least introduce a winger who can open up the situation on the wing. In this way, the pressure on Messi will be much less.

As for the center, Guardiola can't think about it yet, because it fits Barcelona's style of passing and controlling the ball, and its own strength can gain a foothold in Barcelona. So far, except for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, there is no second one.

Thinking of this, he raised his head again, looked at the Barcelona players on the field, and each of them walked towards the sidelines with their heads down. Guardiola also sighed in his heart and greeted them.

They all did their best.

…………

…………

Real Madrid won!

This piece of news quickly spread to every corner of the world at lightning speed.

When Real Madrid players cheered and celebrated the team's victory at the Nou Camp, fans all over the world also cheered for Real Madrid.

Especially for Yang Yang, everyone couldn't think of any beautiful words to use to praise him.

At the beginning of the season, he was absent due to injury and stopped for more than two months. When he came back, he came off the bench for more than 20 minutes and scored a hat-trick and sent an assist to help the team beat Athletic Bilbao 20-[-]. In the second game, he came off the bench for more than [-] minutes and scored the lore goal, beating Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Just ask, looking at the whole world, even looking at the European professional leagues, how many players can do it?
Real Madrid coach Benitez said at the press conference after the game that he has always believed that Yang Yang can create a threat even if he comes off the bench and break through Barcelona's goal.

"He is the best player in the world. He has proved this in recent seasons. I don't believe there is any way to stop Yang Yang in this world. The only thing that can stop him is time!"

As the head coach, Benitez has always given people the feeling that he is not good at words, and he never knows how to praise players, but for Yang Yang, he has never been stingy with praise, and even praised Yang Yang more than once.

Now, he even directly stated that only time can stop Yang Yang, which is undoubtedly the highest praise for a professional player.

As a competitor in the game, Guardiola also admitted that Yang Yang changed the trend of the game after coming off the bench.

"I can't blame the players because they stayed focused and tried their best to stop them, but we have to admit that the player we faced tonight was Yang Yang. He was a different player. He created a gap from our tight defense and seized it."

Guardiola said that no Barcelona player was responsible for conceding a goal. He also believed that a draw was the most reasonable result for both sides, because Barcelona had the advantage throughout the game and it was unfair to lose.

"But that's football!" Guardiola sighed helplessly.

Obviously, he refused to admit that the team lost to Real Madrid. He only wanted to admit that Yang Yang seized an inconspicuous opportunity and created a goal relying on his personal ability, that's all.

……

Guardiola's remarks at the post-match press conference were severely criticized by the media, and even many Catalan media questioned his formation and on-the-spot command in this game.

"Barcelona's two wings failed to create a threat. Villa, Pedro and Messi did not play very well. On the contrary, Real Madrid did a good job of defending the two wings. David Silva's active defense and Maxwell restricted Barcelona's right. Alves hardly created any threat."

Some media believe that Barcelona's problem lies in the slow pace of the game.

"Many times, when we moved the ball from one side to the other, Real Madrid's defense has adjusted."

Some media even pointed the finger at Messi, thinking that Messi, who scored so many goals this season, was misfired at the Nou Camp tonight. "He seemed obviously out of mood, especially in the second half. Why didn't Guardiola refuse to replace Messi?"

The media and fans were very dissatisfied with the loss, and they all pointed their finger at the coaching staff and players, but the godfather of Barcelona Cruyff directly pointed the finger at the management in his post-match column, thinking that the team's mistakes today were precisely due to the lack of signings this summer.

"We can't guess if the team has introduced Cesc Fabregas this summer, or if the team has introduced excellent wide players, then this game will be lost, but we can conclude that if there is Fabregas and a strong winger, then the process of this game will definitely not be like this."

Cruyff said that Guardiola only used one substitution in the whole game, and he replaced Villa with Bojan, who had a sluggish performance this season. This means that he is telling everyone a fact and expressing his dissatisfaction with practical actions.

"That is, he has no available players at all!"

"Leaving aside the starting eleven players, who can Guardiola want to replace? Seydu Keita? Or Hefferen? Or Adriano?"

"Who among them has the ability to come off the bench and change the game at this level of competition?"

Cruyff believes that Guardiola is now a smart woman who can't cook without rice. Even if he wants to change, he can't do it because he doesn't have suitable players at hand.

In contrast to Real Madrid, Benitez’s bench is obviously thicker. In addition to Yang Yang and Messi, there are Di Maria and David Silva on the wing. There is also Higuain on the front line. In addition to Maxwell, the left back also has Marcelo who has a stronger attack and Arbeloa who has a better defensive ability...

Cruyff believes that Real Madrid's strong lineup allows Benitez to have more resources to adjust the lineup and tactics, which Guardiola currently does not have, because he has no one on hand.

However, Cruyff's remarks were quickly counterattacked by the Barcelona management. Chairman Russell believed that Cruyff's escalation of the team's mistakes in the game to the decision-making mistakes of the club management was ulterior motives.

It has always been an open fact that the godfather and the chairman are at odds. Now because of a defeat, this conflict has surfaced again, and Barcelona's passing and possession tactics are indeed encountering difficulties.

The famous Italian legendary coach Sacchi was interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport and commented on the Century Derby. He pointed out that the problem Barcelona is facing now is that they are too obsessed with their own pass and control.

"But precisely because of this, they began to be a little self-closing, and many excellent players could not integrate into Barcelona's tactics, such as Sedu Keita, Yaya Toure, and even I think that if Zlatan Ibrahimovic transferred to Barcelona, ​​it would be difficult to integrate with the personality of a Swedish center."

"This will inevitably bring about a problem. There are not enough rich game methods. Once the passing and possession of the ball is contained by the opponent, and when Messi, the top superstar, is blocked by the opponent, what will Barcelona rely on to win the game?"

Sacchi's question hit the nail on the head, pointing out the difficulties and predicaments Barcelona is currently facing.

When more and more strong teams around the world are looking for tactics to restrain Barcelona, ​​and when more and more opponents are trying their best to block Messi when they are facing each other, the role of Barcelona's style of play in the dialogue between the strong and the strong is getting smaller and smaller.

Of course, everyone also knows that not all teams can have such a strong lineup configuration like Real Madrid and can compete with Barcelona.

More importantly, there is only one Yang Yang!
