Super Coach

From 1:0 to 1:2, the Real Madrid fans in the stands undoubtedly clearly saw the gap in strength between the team they love and their mortal enemy Barcelona. Whether it is personal strength or overall strength, Real Madrid has Not as good as Barcelona.

After losing two goals in a row and being reversed, they seemed to see that just like the previous derbies of the century, Real Madrid would be defeated and mercilessly slaughtered by Barcelona. They didn't know what kind of reaction they should give, and they were silent.

The stands at the Bernabeu Stadium are very quiet compared to other stadiums, especially those in the Premier League. One of the most famous things here is that after a football match, the staff hardly need to clean up the stands. Waste paper and debris, as fans will pack their own bags and take them away.

Nowadays, the stands of the quiet Bernabeu Stadium are even quieter!

But unlike before when they booed Queiroz, Luxenberg and others, they will not boo Yang Cheng because they know that this is the only head coach they can rely on now. If even Yang Cheng can't handle it, who else can Can?

There were no stormy waves, just calm waves. Even when you walked into the locker room, it was still the same. All you could hear was the sound of breathing one after another, because for some people, the first half was too tiring.

Passive and controlled by others, this is undoubtedly a double test of the physical fitness and will of Real Madrid players!

But after Yang Cheng entered the locker room, he suddenly laughed, clapped hard, and walked forward while clapping.

The players passing by along the way raised their heads one by one and looked at the head coach who behaved strangely. I believe a few of them must be thinking to themselves, is this fool crazy? We were reversed, and he still applauded and laughed?

I'm really happy! Yang Cheng walked to the front of the tactical board, turned around, and praised with a smile: Because your performance in the first half was really great, really, I never lie, I said , your performance in the first half was really great!”

Yes, we fell behind, but I don't think there is anything shameful about it. We fell behind in score, behind in strength, and even lost the championship in the end. These are not terrible. What is terrible is that we lost here. ! He poked his temple, obviously reminding his players that if they lose anything, they can't lose themselves.

I like players with character, because in my opinion, any successful player must be strong and brave, and must have a correct attitude in every game, even if the final result may be poor or terrible, but He will leave the court with his head held high because he gave it his all.

No one stipulates which team will be invincible, any team will lose, but,

We must let our opponents understand that we can lose everything, but we cannot even lose our souls, because that is our most basic dignity. If we lose even our dignity, we will let our opponents step on us. Trampling, then even we will look down on ourselves, so what qualifications do we have for our opponents to look down on us?

I said that if I want to beat Barcelona, ​​I have to win the way Real Madrid does. No one believes it, but you see, we were leading for half an hour in the first half. Barcelona are not terrible, they are not invincible. Victorious!

That's why I said, you did a great job, very good, I am very satisfied with you. We still have to attack in the second half, continue to attack, don't give me even one step back, even if the opponent scores 2 more goals in our goal , score 3 goals, they can even score 10 goals, let’s not retreat, aim at their goal and attack!”

When he said this, Yang Cheng smiled, walked over, came to the middle of the players, came to Cannavaro and Thuram, squatted down, looked at the two players, smiled and asked: Fa Bio, Lilian, in Istanbul in 2005, at halftime, were you celebrating?

The two former Juventus players were a little embarrassed and did not answer directly, but the newspapers had already announced all this, and there were indeed many people celebrating in advance.

Do you know what the Liverpool players were doing at that time? Yang Cheng asked.

Regarding these matters, it is difficult for the outside world to dig clues from Liverpool's mouth, because Yang Cheng does not like anyone to discuss anything that happens in the locker room, so the outside world only vaguely knows some clues.

A lot of players were arguing, and almost everyone gave up. The scene was a mess. Drogba took off his jersey and seemed to not want to play anymore. He was wearing a T-shirt addressed to Gerrard. He said he didn't need it. But I threw the T-shirt to him and told him, put it on, we still need it!

I told them... Yang Cheng stood up slowly, We must respect our opponents, but we should never be afraid of our opponents, because we can be stronger than them. You have all seen the result.

All the players in the locker room raised their heads and looked at him, listening to him say these things that no one outside had ever said.

Now, I send this sentence to you. We must respect Barcelona, ​​respect their football, and respect their strength, but we should never be afraid of them. On the contrary, we must firmly believe that we have enough strength to defeat them. them!

The players listened silently, no one said anything.

I knew it before the game. If I lose this game, the whole world will call me an idiot, laugh at me, and think I'm stupid. Why should I give up? It's more pragmatic and sure, and it also makes me more confident. What if you are good at targeted tactics and choose to compete with Barcelona in terms of technique and offensive power?

Don't I know what it means to exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses? Don't I know what it means to target tactics? Yang Cheng shook his head, No, I know better and clearer than those outside who are waiting to criticize me, but I still have to do this , because I hope you can clearly see two things. First, the strength gap between us and Barcelona, ​​and second, the opponent is not invincible. Today we can make them bleed, and tomorrow we can beat them!

Everyone wants to win, and Yang Cheng doesn't want to lose, but sometimes losing a game is to win more in the future.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Ancelotti defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4:1 at home in the Champions League in April 2004, but lost 0:4 away from home and was eliminated. After being eliminated, he was interviewed by a reporter. He said something during the interview. He said that this disastrous defeat can help us know how to win in the next three years.

Now Yang Cheng also hopes that Real Madrid can do the same, understand themselves more clearly and improve themselves in this game. Moreover, compared with Milan, Real Madrid's situation is very different. At the very least, Real Madrid's home game may not be certain. Will lose!

Michelle! Yang Cheng walked up to Salgado, looked at the panting old minister, smiled and patted his shoulder, You did a great job in the first half, take a rest in the second half. Do a good job and continue to start in the next game!

Salgado was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded. He knew that the head coach was leaving face and steps for himself.

Yang Cheng turned to look at Thuram, Lillian, you stay on the right in the second half. Can you get used to your old position? Can you watch Ronaldinho?

Thuram first looked at Cannavaro, then at his other teammates, and nodded, He will be like Messi in the second half!

Many people in the locker room suddenly laughed. Arbeloa scratched the back of his head shyly. His defense against Messi in the first half was indeed very successful. The Argentine teenager didn't even have a bright spot. This has to be said. It was Arbeloa's success.

Alvaro, you did a great job, but you must continue to be careful about Messi in the second half, and at the same time help your teammates organize the defense, understand? Yang Cheng pointed to Arbeloa and explained seriously.

Yang Cheng looked at Cannavaro, nodded, and said nothing, but the latter understood in his heart, because he is now the core figure and leader of Real Madrid's defense.

After explaining the defense line, Yang Cheng pointed out some problems with Barcelona's defense line to the offensive players. For example, Belletti on the right likes to press when the team has the ball. For example, Barcelona's defensive awareness on both sides is not strong, etc. He wants offensive players to take advantage.

Alvaro, you come on in the second half! Yang Cheng pointed at Negredo and said.

This immediately surprised everyone in the locker room. Yang Cheng actually replaced Salgado and replaced him with Negredo!

I still say the same thing. We will continue to attack in the second half. Don't retreat. Press me up and attack!

…………

…………

OMG!!!

After the on-site commentator saw the Real Madrid players coming out, he exclaimed in amazement, Is Yang Cheng crazy?

Facing the overwhelming Barcelona, ​​he actually chose to replace a defender and replace him with a forward. Should we say that he was bold? Or that he overestimated his capabilities?

If Yang Cheng's brand hadn't been too loud in the past few years, people would probably have scolded her on the spot.

He is absolutely crazy. Didn't he see how sharp Barcelona's offense was in the final stage of the first half? Is it true that, as the outside world said, he wanted to attack regardless of being slaughtered by Barcelona? Want to attack to the end?”

He has obviously lost his mind. He must still think that the Real Madrid he is leading now is still the same Liverpool as last season. Even Liverpool would not dare to choose 3 defenders to face Barcelona in this situation. attack.

In addition to the on-site commentator's exclamations, the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium were also in a state of shock. They could not understand why Yang Cheng was doing this. Was he really going to give up this game?

But gradually, as the game unfolded, as the second half began, Real Madrid took advantage of their kick-off advantage and once again launched a round of strong attacks, especially in the 47th, 48th, and 51st minutes, scoring three consecutive attacks against Barcelona. The passion of Real Madrid fans was rekindled when they failed to score a goal in the penalty area.

Real Madrid's formation in the second half looked like 343, but it was actually 3133. Among them, the coverage area of ​​the three defenders was around the penalty area. Mascherano played as a single midfielder, but he mainly deployed defenses at the front of the penalty area. These four defenders Players basically only participate in transition and sorting out, and do not directly participate in the offense.

Xabi Alonso, David Silva and Beckham lined up in front of Mascherano. When they were defending, they were responsible for the defense in front of the 32-meter area, which was mainly aimed at Xavi and Iniesta's cross passes in front of the 32-meter area, together with Mascherano, achieved the purpose of restricting the Barcelona midfielder.

Villa played a very flexible position, with both left and right wings in his area. Raul was cruising around Negredo looking for opportunities. The latter was at the forefront of Real Madrid's attack, taking advantage of his physical advantage. And impact, as well as physical advantages, to hit Barcelona's defense.

In the offense, although there are two transfer masters, Xavi Alonso and Beckham, Real Madrid does not rely too much on it. David Silva can press up during the offense and directly participate in the offense. , which makes Real Madrid a little more delicate when attacking.

For example, in the 48th minute, Mascherano intercepted the ball and passed it to Xavi Alonso, who passed the ball across to Beckham. The Englishman did not stop the ball and directly knocked back Raul who was retreating. The latter passed the ball to David Alonso. David Silva.

Silva faced the goal and passed a pass directly to Villa on the left. After Villa broke through on the left, he passed the ball to the center. Negredo shot in the penalty area, but Valdez saved the ball. , missed a scoring opportunity.

This set of tactics actually tests the defense, but since Barcelona emphasizes cutting inside when attacking, Messi and Ronaldinho are both on the opposite foot. In the center, Eto'o is restricted by Cannavaro, and on the wing The cross effect was not obvious and he was forced to play in the middle, and Real Madrid concentrated its defensive resources in the middle.

Through this substitution, Yang Cheng made everyone understand his determination to attack, making the team's offense more resolute, but at the same time, it also reminded all frontcourt players that they must actively participate in on-the-spot attacks. During the counterattack and delaying tactics, otherwise, Barcelona would directly attack and Real Madrid's defense would be in danger.

On the contrary, this mobilized the team's defensive enthusiasm from front to back. As soon as the ball was lost, they immediately launched a counterattack on the spot. As soon as they grabbed the ball, they immediately counterattacked and threatened Barcelona's defense line.

Looking back at Barcelona, ​​Eto'o, Messi and Ronaldinho basically don't participate in the defense. The latter usually defends with his eyes. As the game progresses, his physical fitness declines rapidly, and his running It also started to become negative, which caused Barcelona's midfield to be restricted by Real Madrid.

So a situation emerged on the scene. The two teams attacked each other, but Barcelona's offense was not as threatening as it was at the end of the first half, while Real Madrid attacked frequently, but it was not a big threat, it was just that they attacked more times. .

The most obvious point is that Barcelona's ball possession rate has declined.

As Yang Cheng said before, once the ball is lost in the 32-meter area of ​​the penalty area, Barcelona's offense will be chaotic and paralyzed by the opponent's pressure and pressing.

After realizing this, Rijkaard made a substitution. He replaced midfielder Marcos with Giuly and asked the Frenchman to play on the right, hoping to continue to make a fuss on the wing, but Messi was pulled by him. In the middle, I hope that Messi's retreat and forward penetration in the middle will connect the Trident with Xavi and Iniesta.

As a result, Barcelona's offense has improved again.

In the 59th minute, Iniesta made a direct pass. After Ronaldinho got the ball on the left, he tried to break through and cross. After deceiving Thuram, he suddenly stopped and passed the ball diagonally to the center. , after Messi got rid of Mascherano, when Eto'o interfered with Cannavaro, he got the ball and entered the penalty area, and shot directly.

Casillas made a crucial save, saving Messi's shot directly from the bottom line, which was able to defuse Barcelona's most threatening shot since the second half.

But just 2 minutes later, Abidal passed the ball from the left. Ronaldinho easily took the ball and dunked past Thuram and passed it to the center. Iniesta stepped in and hit a ground ball. Kan missed the left post and crossed the bottom line.

In the 64th minute, Messi retreated to receive a pass from Xavi, and formed a one-two with Iniesta. After getting rid of Mascherano, he passed the ball into the penalty area. Eto'o volleyed the ball. Casillas lifted the crossbar with one hand.

After Barcelona made adjustments, the midfielder was reactivated and frequently created threats in Real Madrid's penalty area. If Casillas hadn't performed well in front of the goal, I believe Real Madrid would have been penetrated by Barcelona in succession.

Yang Cheng must adjust the team's tactics as soon as possible. Although the substitutions at the beginning did improve the situation a lot, after Barcelona's midfield stabilized the situation, it was difficult for Real Madrid to create a threat again, especially It’s Messi. After his poor performance in the first half, he performed very well after returning to the center and played a great role in linking the team’s midfield and frontcourt.”

Just as the on-site commentator was talking, Belletti suddenly stepped in from the right. After receiving the ball from the right, Giuly was unable to form a breakthrough. After getting the ball, he passed a 45-degree diagonal pass into the penalty area. Ronaldo Dinho once again got rid of Thuram's marking, faced the ball in front of the goal, and fired a half-volley.

There was a bang, and Ronaldinho's volley hit the crossbar of Real Madrid's goal. It seemed to hit the hearts of all Real Madrid fans and players, scaring them all into panic.

If this kick goes in, it will be a bit as beautiful as Zidane's kick in the Champions League final.

Barcelona's offensive is booming, and Real Madrid's goal is in turmoil. But it seems that Yang Cheng has no choice. Does he intend to continue to let Barcelona continue to create threats in his own half?

We can vaguely hear the impatient voices of Real Madrid fans coming from the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium. Many Real Madrid fans are shouting for substitutions, hoping that Real Madrid can stabilize the situation through substitutions, but Yang Cheng still doesn't What on earth is he thinking? Don’t you see that the current situation of the team is already in danger?”

Just when everyone thought Yang Cheng was stubborn and wanted to stick to the current tactics, Yang Cheng finally made the second substitution adjustment of the game.
