Chapter 1665 Everything is Fate!

What will it be like when a head coach like Guardiola plays defensive counterattacks?
In this Champions League final in Istanbul, Guardiola himself gave the answer.

It looks like a [-] formation with Ederson in goal, Mendy, Laporte, Otamendi and Kyle Walker in defence, Gundogan and Rodri in midfield, Bernardo Silva, James Rodriguez and Mahrez up front, Gabriel Jesus up front.

This is Guardiola's starting lineup list, without Aguero, without Sterling, it looks very conservative.

But when it comes to the competition, everyone has to find that the uncle is still the uncle.

Even with conservative tactics, Guardiola can still play new tricks.

Bernardo Silva and James Rodriguez were pushed to the front, and the two technical midfielders looked like double forwards. On the contrary, the forwards Jesus and Mahrez were placed on the two sides.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the game, everyone was surprised to see that two players, Bernardo Silva and James Rodriguez, pressed and pressed Real Madrid's defense in front, while Jesus and Mahrez focused on restricting Carvajal and Ferran Mendy.

The two technical players are at the forefront. In addition to pressing and pressing, their main task is to avoid Real Madrid's midfield. After getting the ball, they immediately send a pass forward, allowing Jesus and Mahrez on the two wings to attack Real Madrid's defense.

Obviously, Guardiola knows very well that Manchester City can't compete with Real Madrid in the midfield.

The three midfielders of Frankie De Jong, Kante and De Bruyne have matured. This combination can be regarded as the strongest midfield combination in world football today.

At least, Kanter, who can't pass, is enough to top two.

In this case, Guardiola chose to avoid the midfield.

Cooperating with this set of tactics, Manchester City took the initiative to show weakness after the opening, retreated three lines, shrunk in their own half, and adopted defensive counterattack tactics to let Real Madrid take the initiative to press.

This has the advantage of leaving a large counterattack space behind Real Madrid.

In other words, after Manchester City steals the ball, James Rodriguez and Bernardo Silva get the ball and pass it behind them, and Jesus and Mahrez are responsible for counterattacking.

Not only Yang Yang was surprised by Manchester City's style of play, but also the Bernabeu fans.

Responding to the court, Real Madrid completely controlled the ball, and even had [-]% of the ball.

However, with a large number of ball possessions, it is difficult for Real Madrid to effectively penetrate Manchester City's defense.

This is Guardiola's tactical purpose.

As long as Manchester City can hold on, the gap behind Real Madrid may become a fatal flaw at any time.

And it must be admitted that although Manchester City's performance in the strong dialogue this season is not ideal, they lost the games against Liverpool and Manchester United, and their defense has been criticized, but at least at the Bernabeu tonight, Manchester City's defense is very strict.

…………

…………

"Who said Guardiola won't be conservative? Who said Guardiola won't defend and counterattack?"

Yang Yang stood in front of the coach's bench and said to Harvey Alonso with a smile.

Tonight, Guardiola was not only conservative, but also defended and counterattacked. Even his team played a defensive counterattack, which was stronger than anyone else, because this guy is very good at pressing and penetrating in high positions.

"He is obviously avoiding our midfielder, we are like punching cotton now." Harvey Alonso smiled wryly, and he had to admire Guardiola's tactical wisdom.

The world is looking forward to the tactical duel between Yang Yang and Guardiola. Judging from the starting tactics, neither of them disappointed.

"Manchester City is different from Barcelona. Manchester City not only has the ability to pass and control the ball, but also has a strong offensive ability, so they can play defensive counterattacks. It's just that Guardiola has been unwilling before. This season, he is also fighting for the Champions League." Yang Yang glanced at Guardiola, who looked very serious.

Manchester City will be suspended for two years. This year is the best time for Manchester City to win the Champions League, because no one knows what Manchester City will look like in two years. Even Guardiola is not sure whether he will stay in Manchester City.

This is what compels him to be conservative.

Of course, Real Madrid's tyrannical strength is also the key.

At least when facing other teams, Manchester City will not be so conservative, and Guardiola will not rack his brains to expel this style of play.

"High pressing is not only Manchester City's forte, but also ours. Since they retreat, then we will advance."

"The midfield presses and oppresses, the winger shows speed, speeds up after stealing the ball, and directly attacks their 30-meter zone. I don't believe how many times they can defend!"

At the end of Yang Yang's speech, he was full of confidence.

Guardiola is full of confidence in his team, why not Yang Yang?
Even, he is more confident than Guardiola, at least Real Madrid's offense is the best in Europe, while Manchester City's defense is not strong.

Yang Yang's goal is very simple, as long as he scores a goal, Guardiola will not be able to keep it.

…………

…………

Yang Yang's instructions were quickly conveyed to the court.

Real Madrid's players began to implement the head coach's ideas, and quickly speeded up through threatening passes after stealing the ball and sudden advances, trying to catch the opponent by surprise.

Manchester City is also well prepared for this, especially for the two sides of Real Madrid.

Everyone knows that in the past ten years, Real Madrid's two-wing offense has always been the strongest in Europe.

When the game progressed to No. 19 minutes, Real Madrid tried to launch a fast break from the right. Jovic took the initiative to pull to the right to meet Mbappe and Carvajal, but Manchester City's defense was very decisive and timely.

Real Madrid had no chance, slowed down and passed back to reorganize.

After Carvajal took the ball from the right, he raised his hand and seemed to be signaling his teammates to stabilize, but suddenly passed diagonally to the center.

De Bruyne turned his back to the attacking direction and faced Carvajal's pass. After turning around to receive the ball, he suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. After taking a step, he sent a through ball.

This through ball penetrated the gap between Otamendi and Laporte, and quickly passed behind Manchester City's defense.

Hazard quickly jumped in and caught up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, but Otamendi also returned to the defense immediately, and Laporte also quickly returned to his position.

After Hazard stopped the ball, the whole person also stopped quickly. With an emergency stop and smash, he threw away Otamendi, adjusted the ball with his right foot, and grabbed Otamendi's reaction.

The whole process from passing the ball to putting in, to the sudden stop and smashing the ball, and then to hitting the goal with a right-footed curve ball, the process was very fast and completed in one go, without giving Manchester City any time to react.

When everyone reacted, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson quickly flew to save, but Hazard's shot was fast and urgent, and the angle was still very tricky. Although the Brazilian goalkeeper tried his best to side attack, he was still out of reach.

In an instant, the entire stadium was completely boiling!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 20 minutes, exactly 10 minutes, Hazard opened the door to victory for Real Madrid with a wonderful curve ball!"

"One to zero! Manchester City retreated too far."

"Guardiola's game strategy tonight tends to be conservative, which undoubtedly boosted Real Madrid's momentum."

"From the beginning to the present, Manchester City took one shot and missed the goal, while Real Madrid has already shot four shots. Although there was only one shot on goal, Hazard scored a goal."

After Hazard scored, everyone in Real Madrid frantically rushed to the sidelines to celebrate him.

Under the guidance of Yang Yang this season, the Belgian winger has regrouped and regained his peak state.

Many people even think that if Real Madrid can win the Champions League this season, Hazard will be one of the most powerful contenders for the World Player of the Year, while his number one opponent is Mbappe from Real Madrid and De Bruyne, who has performed fantastically this season.

For the goal just now, Hazard's performance was wonderful, but De Bruyne's sudden through ball was also crucial.

The cooperation of the two Belgian players created Real Madrid's lead.

……

Yang Yang was very excited watching from the sidelines, but he still didn't dare to be careless.

I saw him walking quickly to the sidelines and kept shouting at the Real Madrid players celebrating on the sidelines, signaling that they should continue to maintain this rhythm and not become paralyzed just because of a goal.

"To continue to suppress them, it is best to try to score more goals!"

Yang Yang shouted loudly, and did not hide his ambition at all.

Real Madrid players also heard the coach's call, and ran over to give Yang Yang high-fives and hugs.

Especially Hazard, the hero who scored the goal, hugged Yang Yang vigorously, looking extremely excited and grateful.

Anyone can see that it was under Yang Yang's training that Hazard regained his peak.

……

Guardiola's face became even uglier.

Everyone thinks that Manchester City is strong, but in fact, he knows that Manchester City is much weaker than Real Madrid, especially in the midfield. At least the pass of De Bruyne just now, no one in the Manchester City team can pass it.

And last summer, he already wanted to introduce De Bruyne, but Yang Yang's return completely cut off Guardiola's thoughts. De Bruyne admired Yang Yang very much, so he chose to stay in Real Madrid and play for Yang Yang.

As a result, this season, De Bruyne has reached the pinnacle of his career!
Perhaps, all of this is fate!

Guardiola walked to the sidelines and kept yelling at the players, signaling them to hold on.

Conceding a goal and falling behind by one point, this is in Manchester City's pre-match plan. Guardiola has prepared various plans, including how to play after falling behind by one goal.

So now, his most important thing is to appeal to Manchester City's players to remain calm and rational, and not to mess up.

He has enough confidence that Manchester City will definitely have a chance to get the ball back next.

After all, it's only 10 minutes now, and there are 10 minutes left in the game.

But he has begun to realize that this game is getting more and more difficult.

Yang Yang and his Real Madrid are more terrifying than Guardiola expected!
