Super Coach

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, many fans at the Calderon Stadium took the initiative to stand up and applaud the players of both teams. It was unclear whether they were comforting the Atletico Madrid players or applauding Real Madrid's wonderful game. But what is certain is that many fans gave their applause to Yang Cheng because they were all calling his name.

This will be Yang Cheng's last appearance in Atletico Madrid's away game. Although the Copa del Rey final is still held in this stadium, he is no longer a fan of the Shelters League at that time, so strictly speaking, this is Yang Cheng's last appearance. A visit to the Calderon Stadium.

As the most hated enemy of Atletico Madrid fans in the past six years, they actually admire Yang Cheng from the bottom of their hearts and admire the Real Madrid team he has brought. Therefore, they wish that Yang Cheng would leave immediately, but at the same time, they still Will give Yang Cheng affirmation.

There are many head coaches who can win the support of fans of their own team, and there are also many head coaches who can win the support of opponents' fans, but there are only a few head coaches who can win the support and recognition of rival fans. Fortunately, Yang Cheng is one of them.

He won applause at the Camp Nou, and now he has won applause again at the Calderon. Even this season, he has won applause in almost every away game because everyone knows that this is his Last road trip.

After the game, Yang Cheng walked out of the visiting team's coaching area and applauded the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands as a reward and thank you for their applause. Then he also greeted the Atletico Madrid players separately. Like Pereira, they have been old rivals for many years and are not strangers to each other.

In the end, Yang Cheng walked towards Diego? Simeone. This student looks a little embarrassed, but is always waiting for Yang Cheng.

No matter what, you did a great job. Diego! Yang Cheng stepped forward and gave Diego Simeone a hug. Give your students the best evaluation very definitely and sincerely.

You taught me a very vivid lesson, Mr. Yang Cheng! Simone smiled slightly, but it was stiff.

Yang Cheng looked at Simeone, and he seemed to have seen the days when he worked together at Inter Milan. Yang Cheng was very energetic at that time, but now he has long lost the spirit of the past.

Thinking about things more comprehensively and thoughtfully. Know how to deal with others better.

Running without the ball is not only applicable to offense, but also to defense. In fact, sometimes I think defense can also be very fluid and entertaining. The key depends on how you formulate tactics! Yang Cheng said with a smile, after finishing speaking. He patted Simeone on the shoulder and said, Do a good job. After today, it may be difficult for us to be opponents again. Call me when you have time!

Okay. I'll treat you to dinner! Simone agreed with a smile.

If there is an opportunity to have dinner with Yang Cheng, talk about football tactics and coaching experience, this will undoubtedly be a God-given opportunity for Simeone. At least he knows very well that countless head coaches hope to get Yang Cheng’s personal experience. teach.

Yang Cheng smiled at Simeone, turned around and walked to the visiting team's coaching area to greet the Real Madrid players walking off the court.

Looking at his back, Simeone was truly convinced.

Frankly speaking, when he was playing at Inter Milan, Simeone was not as convinced of Yang Cheng as he is now. At that time, Yang Cheng was very young and looked very aggressive and courageous, but he always found it a bit unconvincing. But now Yang Cheng's every move and gesture exudes a calmness and restraint that makes people admire him even if he doesn't want to.

Sometimes when I think about it, Simeone feels that time flies so fast. Yang Cheng, a young boy at the time, has now become a calm middle-aged man, and he himself has also changed from a player to a head coach. It all seems to have happened. In the blink of an eye, people can't help but sigh in their hearts, time flies really fast.

Let's go, Diego! Boggs didn't know what Simeone was thinking, and he didn't have too complicated feelings about Yang Cheng.

Simeone looked at Yang Cheng who was hugging him as he walked off the court, and smiled secretly in his heart. After so many years, many of his habits have not changed. At least even now, he still feels that he is like Yang Cheng's player. It feels really good.

At the post-match press conference of the Madrid Derby, Yang Cheng, who won the game, was full of praise for Simeone. He believed that Simeone has the foundation to become a top coach. He also firmly believes that Simeone can lead Atletico Madrid. Success.

Simeone, who lost the ball, also expressed his admiration and appreciation for Yang Cheng. This pair of teachers and students seemed to be performing a double act, and the media and reporters became the medium and tool for them to praise each other. This made many reporters present feel dumbfounded, but they could not refuse and could only accept this fact.

After playing Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid could not take a rest and immediately welcomed Sporting Gijon on the weekend.

In terms of schedule, in the next two weeks, Real Madrid and Barcelona will play three games, two Champions League home and away games, and one La Liga game at the Nou Camp. This is something that no one had expected before.

Therefore, in the game against Sporting Gijon, Yang Cheng arranged a relatively large rotation, but the team still relied on its own strong strength to defeat Sporting Gijon 4:1.

In mid-week, Real Madrid visited the Camp Nou in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

For this game, the Camp Nou stadium was filled with a total of 99,652 fans, of which there were only 600 Real Madrid fans, and they were all sitting on the top floor, in the worst position. It can be said that the stands of the entire Camp Nou stadium were everywhere. They are all Barcelona fans.

And so many Barcelona fans came to the scene with only one purpose, Real Madrid.

Today's Real Madrid team has too many complicated feelings for Barcelona.

Just like Yang Cheng, they admire Yang Cheng's abilities and achievements, but behind all of Yang Cheng's achievements, there is the shadow of Barcelona, ​​which makes them unable to simply praise him like other fans. To admire him.

Barcelona's best two years happened to be when Yang Cheng was at the bottom of Inter Milan. After that, the Dream Team collapsed at the hands of Inter Milan and Liverpool. After that, Barcelona never regained that glory and always survived under Caesar. Under the shadow.

Another reason why they love and hate Real Madrid. It’s the transfer of Messi and Iniesta.

Rationally speaking, they affirmed the club's operation because they sold two players. To a certain extent, it has helped the club ease its debt crisis and helped Barcelona get out of the quagmire. But after they joined Real Madrid, they greatly improved Real Madrid's strength and level, which was tantamount to self-harm in disguise.

Watching Messi and Iniesta's increasingly outstanding performances at Real Madrid, Barcelona fans really can't be happy for them, because they know very well in their hearts that one day, they will represent Real Madrid at the Nou Camp. , they used all means and abilities to help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona.

There's a lot I can't figure out. The fans, who couldn't see through it, pulled out banners humiliating Messi and Iniesta in the stands, and shouted unpleasant slogans. This group of die-hards never sat down to analyze properly. Know how to vent.

Of course, more of these fans are concentrated on the side of the President's Stand, which is Barcelona's extreme fans stand, but most Barcelona fans can still choose to endure it. Some fans even welcomed Messi and Iniesta, but they all died down amidst the boos and insults from the extreme fans.

Perhaps, this approach just confirms the saying that it is easier to hate someone than to love someone!

Yang Cheng did not ask Messi and Iniesta for their opinions before the game. Instead, he directly arranged them into the starting lineup, because after nearly a year of getting along and contacting him, he has a clear understanding of the two players. They are not the kind of people who like to escape. Sooner or later, they will You have to face this situation, right?

…………

Although many people say that since the new century, La Liga has been a two-man show between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but in recent years, La Liga has completely become a one-man show for Real Madrid. Galacticos has completed six consecutive championships in La Liga, and it has been a huge success. Defending the title with an advantage, Real Madrid became the only team in the history of La Liga to complete six consecutive championships, setting a record.

During the warm-up period, the players from both teams were relatively friendly on the court. On the contrary, some Barcelona fans in the stands were very excited, and soon it spread to a large number of people who booed Real Madrid. However, the Barcelona players On the contrary, their attitude was more friendly, and they all shook hands with Real Madrid players and greeted the Real Madrid players with kind smiles. Especially when facing Messi and Iniesta, they did not seem to be troubled by the transfer.

But during the game, Real Madrid took the lead in starting the war and launched a fierce impact on Barcelona's goal.

In the 16th minute of the game, Xabi Alonso took a corner kick. Ramos reached the edge of the small penalty area, beat Pique, and headed the ball to the center. Messi grabbed the ball in the dense crowd. Before Puyol, he kicked the ball and sent it into the goal guarded by Valdez.

Although Valdes made a save, he still failed to prevent Messi from scoring. He could only watch helplessly as his former teammate penetrated his goal again, 0:1!

After Messi scored, he did not celebrate at all. He pulled his head and silently walked out of the penalty area. He also received a consolation from Puyol along the way. The Barcelona captain seemed to be able to understand Messi's feelings at this moment.

When he put on Real Madrid's jersey, he had to fight hard for Real Madrid and use all his abilities to help Real Madrid win the game. However, he scored the goal of his favorite team. This was not an easy task for him. Easy things.

But obviously, Barcelona’s extreme fans don’t see it that way. They feel that Messi’s goal for Barcelona is a betrayal, so their boos and curses towards Messi are even worse, which makes the Real Madrid players feel very Dissatisfied, especially Yang Cheng, who was standing just below the chairman's stand, pointed the fingertips of his right hand at the palm of his left hand toward the fans in the stand, signaling them to stop attacking Messi.

But in this way, even Yang Cheng was booed by them. This group of extreme fans obviously wanted to vent out all the depression they had experienced over the years, as if to tell Yang Cheng, you damn, we have been here for many years. My old debt has not been settled yet, how dare you come to interfere in my affairs?

Yang Cheng saw them like this. Instead, he gave them a thumbs up, as if to be sarcastic. This undoubtedly once again aroused the indignation of the extreme fans in the stands, and they all continued to attack Yang Cheng. Even throw away some debris.

In this way, they forgot about Messi on the court and heard everyone in the court attacking Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng waved towards Messi. Instructing him to continue playing, the latter nodded towards Yang Cheng with a grateful expression. He could feel that Yang Cheng's initiative to provoke Barcelona fans this time was actually to divert the attention of Barcelona fans from Messi and Iniesta to himself, so that they could continue the game wholeheartedly.

In the second half, Messi once again formed a continuous breakthrough with the ball on the right. After breaking through the defense of three Barcelona players, he passed to Iniesta, who made a wonderful back-heeled pass. To the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldinho volleyed through the Barcelona goal.

At this time, Ronaldinho was already suffocating. During the halftime break, Ronaldinho, who was shouting that he wanted to teach this group of extreme Barcelona fans a lesson, rushed out of the penalty area, rushed to the sidelines, and rushed to a side of the chairman's stand. side. He made a gesture of silence towards the extreme fans in the stands.

Ronaldinho put his index finger on his lips, as if telling the group of extreme Barcelona fans in the stands, please shut up!

The Portuguese's move was immediately retaliated by Barcelona's extreme fans, because this scene made them very uncomfortable, and their team was trailing 0:2 on the court. It was difficult for them to accept being so humiliated by their opponent's number one star, so more and more Barcelona fans booed the stadium in a manner that was almost venting.

Ronaldinho is a crazy guy. The more people boo him, the more excited he looks and the easier it is to get into the state. The more angry he is to prove himself, so he was booed by Barcelona fans for about 8 minutes. , got another chance.

This time, after Canales got the ball on the left side, he got rid of the defender and passed behind the Barcelona defense. Ronaldinho stepped in and got another shooting opportunity, sending the ball directly in front of Valdes. Hit Barcelona's goal, 0:3!

After scoring consecutive goals, the Portuguese seemed even more unscrupulous. He even rushed to the sidelines, took off his clothes to celebrate, and roared at the Barcelona fans in the stands, apparently in revenge for the way this group of fans treated his mentor.

There is no doubt that the referee was fair and gave Ronaldinho a yellow card directly, but the latter accepted it calmly.

Seeing him like this, Yang Cheng felt happy and helpless at the same time. With this yellow card, he didn't expect to win in the second round and could just rest. Otherwise, if he got another yellow card, he would miss the final.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng also began to worry that this kid was crazy. If there was any trouble, he would be in trouble if he got another yellow card. So he simply replaced Ronaldinho with Mata and left the kid alone. Enjoy the boos and curses from the 100,000 Barcelona fans throughout Camp Nou.

It feels really good! Xiao Luo said to Yang Cheng with a playful smile.

It seems that the boos and curses at Camp Nou are as enjoyable to him as taking a milk bath. God knows what is going on with this kid?

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3:0 at the Camp Nou Stadium with Ronaldinho's brace and Messi's goal, winning the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng criticized the behavior of Barcelona's extreme fans, believing that this is a behavior that should be strictly prohibited. They have obviously interfered with the game crudely, affected my players, and even Because some of them launched personal attacks and threats against my players, I don’t know what this is all about!”

But Yang Cheng also said that Real Madrid will report the matter but is not prepared to make a big deal.

This is also the tacit understanding formed by Real Madrid and Barcelona this season, that is, the two clubs can no longer disagree as before, but should fight to the death on the court. However, everyone on the court works together to maintain the current situation in La Liga. Reach a consensus on the distribution of power and interests.

In the final analysis, Yang Cheng is just a head coach, and he has no way to interfere in the daily operations of the club. Therefore, although he knows very well, the alliance between Real Madrid and Barcelona is, to a certain extent, the tragedy of other mid- and lower-tier teams. , but he can't change anything because he is just a head coach.

Is he so arrogant that he thinks he can change Real Madrid's business strategy?

Or does he want to act bravely like a Lei Feng and stand up to shout for other mid- and lower-tier teams in La Liga?

Then his end will be tragic, because this is not the game rule of La Liga at all!

Yang Cheng is said to be smart. He is not too smart, but he is definitely not stupid, so he knows very well that every place, every league, and every club has its own rules of the game. Anyone who wants to play in To survive within the rules of this game, you must first understand him, understand him, and master him, and then you can change him.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are now beyond Yang Cheng's control, so he can only secretly feel sorry for those small and medium-sized teams.

What's more, he is still a bit unable to protect himself.

After the first leg of the semi-finals, Barcelona fans obviously refused to let go of Real Madrid. They knew that Real Madrid did not return to Madrid in order to participate in La Liga, but continued to stay in Barcelona, ​​so they continued to attack Real Madrid and spared no effort. Attack, hoping to cause trouble to Real Madrid and affect Real Madrid's preparations.

Yang Cheng did not criticize this, because in his opinion, this group of extreme fans are just a group of poor people!
