Super Coach

In the veteran box at the Bernabeu, Bosque, Valdano, Hierro, Sanchis and others were all watching the game below with frowns. At this moment, they must be thinking about one thing.

He is really a Real Madrid fan! Valdano said with a wry smile.

Someone had said it a long time ago, but the Argentine didn't quite believe it, but this game made him believe it.

Who is Valdano?

That year, Real Madrid was slaughtered 0:5 by Cruyff's Barcelona, ​​and was sniped by Tenerife at critical moments for two consecutive seasons, which ultimately led to the loss of the league championship. President Mendoza immediately dismissed the two key figures in Tenerife at the time, the coach. Valdano and midfielder Redondo were brought to the Bernabeu. As a result, the Argentine led Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona 5:0 in the second season and won the championship after the season, completely ending Cruyff's dream team. .

Later, Valdano was dismissed from class due to failure in transforming Real Madrid. After that, Real Madrid began to be in turmoil until Del Bosque took over the team midway in 1999. Then Florentino came to power and Valdano served as the team's technical manager. Consultant, Real Madrid started the first phase of Galacticos, but in 2003, the news of Bosque's departure was told to him personally by Valdano.

But now, both of them have solved this problem. After all, Valdano was not the decision-maker at the time.

But why does he want to attack Barcelona? Hierro found it puzzling.

In addition to the first 10 minutes when Real Madrid's strong attack had a certain advantage, Real Madrid began to expose many problems in the following games. For example, when the offense was pressed by the opponent, Real Madrid's passing and receiving coordination errors began to increase. Barcelona began to frequently use these mistakes to counterattack and create threats.

If both sides are attacking at a fast pace, Real Madrid has little chance of winning!

Perhaps, I can understand! Bosque turned back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, full of bitterness and admiration.

Valdano also nodded, he could vaguely guess.

In the past three years, we have lost everything in terms of football, spirit, fighting spirit, and will. Whenever Barcelona is mentioned, we are timid and afraid, as if the opponent is no longer a rival on the same planet as us. , this is a kind of psychological shadow caused by long-term humiliation!”

This is a bit like the national football team's fear of South Korea and Japan. In fact, there was a time when there were some games where the skills were not necessarily inferior to others, but the psychological shadow and pressure made it difficult for the players to let go and fight. This in itself was already a problem. Lost a lot.

Bosque snorted and smiled,

But at the end of the day, Barcelona is Barcelona, ​​and it's just Barcelona. They still have 11 people playing the game. Maybe they form a stronger unit, but in the end, Barcelona and Real Madrid are just people. In a confrontation, no one is definitely better than the other!

He wants all Real Madrid people to see clearly that Barcelona is not invincible! Valdano added.

Just as they were talking, Barcelona launched a quick counterattack. Iniesta passed the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area. Ronaldinho got ahead of Salgado and penetrated into Real Madrid's penalty area. With his feet down, he chose to go past the attacking goalkeeper Casillas, but Casillas jumped in and fell to the penalty area.

From the box, everyone could clearly hear the exclamations of the fans in the stands, and everyone was watching the referee's decision.

Casillas saved the ball first, and the referee clearly understood and did not award a penalty kick. This immediately made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Salgado is old and can do well against other La Liga teams, but against Barcelona, ​​especially Ronaldinho, he is weak. Why not Ramos? Sanchis also found it puzzling. Is it because he disrespected the coach in the Carranza Cup?

At critical moments, the head coach should put aside the grievances between himself and the players and focus on the overall situation.

But Valdano shook his head, I think what he did is right!

After a pause, Valdano sighed, Salgado really can't guard against Ronaldinho. This is a hidden danger, but the problem is that Ramos may not be able to, and this kid's recent... His temper has really gotten worse, and even though he has only been with the team for one season, he looks like a big-name superstar.

As if seeing the disbelief of Hierro, Sanchis and others, Valdano asked: Which superstar dares to bombard the club's management in front of the media? Bombard his teammates in the locker room?

After asking this question, Hierro and Sanchis were speechless.

If players have opinions about the club, they can raise them. If they have opinions about their teammates, they can express them in the locker room. There is no need to talk nonsense in the media. But that’s what Ramos did. In the second half of last season, The final moments of the team's season sprint.

Bosque smiled bitterly and shook his head, The media is still bad!

Although he has only joined the team for one season, Ramos was portrayed by the media as the lubricant of Real Madrid's locker room last season. Many media broke the news that Ramos is the most popular player in the locker room, not only Superstars such as Zidane admire him very much, and Salgado, Helguera and others treat him as a brother. Even dinner parties and activities organized by the team are planned through him.

In addition, the media often reports that someone admires Ramos and thinks he will become so and so. This makes Ramos's skills not improve much, and his temper and style of play have deteriorated. He received a yellow card from Real Madrid. The player with the most red cards, 19 yellow cards and 4 red cards in 33 games in a season, is absolutely unimaginable.

Maybe there are many factors responsible for too many cards, such as the team's style, defensive pressure, too young, etc., but isn't it caused by his violent temper and too rough playing style?

If he wants to improve, he must control his temper and playing style. Otherwise, if he continues like this, he will never reach the heights expected of him, because as time goes by, time will not Keep him young forever!

When he said this, Valdano looked at Hierro, who is also a big player in Real Madrid's red cards. He is regarded as the spiritual leader of Real Madrid in the past and the soul of the team. However, it is obvious that he also feels that fighting spirit may not be certain. It should be reflected through red and yellow cards, especially as a defensive player, he really should be cleaner when he kicks.

You should remember how many murders his two masters in Sevilla caused in La Liga! Valdano reminded.

Ramos' two masters in Sevilla, Xavi Navarro and Alfaro, are famous villains in La Liga. Sevilla in 2003 was a rough team known for its destruction and was called a barbarian. The kick is vicious.

Once at the Bernabeu Stadium, Alfaro first stepped hard on the knee joint of Salgado's left leg when he fell to the ground with his left foot, causing the latter to roll on the grass in pain and was directly carried out of the stadium on a stretcher. He was seriously injured and suspended, but it only passed. Within a few minutes, Navarro used the same method and stepped heavily on Irving's right knee joint.

The difference between the two is that Navarro was sent off with a red card and Alfaro escaped. However, after the game, Alfaro was additionally punished by the Spanish Football Association and suspended for 4 games, becoming the most banned player in La Liga that season. player, and Navarro, who was sent off with a red card, was suspended for 2 games.

Both Hierro and Del Bosque have experienced this game personally, and they both know what kind of team Sevilla was back then, so they also understand the rise of Sevilla today. It definitely does not rely on this barbaric style of play, but on technology, more technical players like Alves and Reyes.

It is not difficult to see from this that if Ramos cannot get rid of this problem, it will be difficult for him to join the ranks of top defenders.

Who has ever seen a player who commits rough fouls all day long in the game, always gets cards and suspensions, has irritable defensive actions, and has a bad temper, can become a top player?

However, Salgado will indeed be a major hidden danger for the team... At this point, Valdano and Del Bosque looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile.

There are still too many areas for improvement in this Real Madrid team. Give him more time. Del Bosque sighed.

This is also where Yang Cheng is better than other head coaches, that is, he can get a generous environment and time that others do not have. He can get the power he wants to transform the team according to his own wishes. This is Real Madrid All previous head coaches would not have dared to think of it.

…………

…………

Salgado is indeed old!

I think back then, he was invincible on the right wing of Real Madrid with his rough playing style, his ability to go up and down, and his ability to play both offense and defense, which frightened many opponents. But now, the problems he suffered from back then have caused his condition to decline quickly.

It is estimated that if it were not for the conflict between Yang Cheng and Ramos this season, he might not have the chance to play as the main force, but this also makes him particularly cherish it. He always tries his best to show his best side. , reappearing the peak state of the year, but unfortunately, getting old is getting old!

Dealing with Ronaldinho is definitely not an easy task. He is so strong and outstanding that you can hardly guess what he will do next. He will always be able to run behind him. , which will make any defensive player exhausted.

For example, this time, Xavi passed the ball diagonally over their heads from the middle. Salgado was startled by the sudden high ball and was blocked by Ronaldinho. He wanted to squeeze him, but it had no effect. He wanted to wait. He stopped the ball and blocked it, but the Brazilian just flicked the ball back to the center.

Iniesta stepped in from the back row, got the ball and broke into the penalty area. Thuram intercepted him, but Iniesta's dribbling was very thin, attracting Thuram's attention, and Eto'o took advantage of it. Cannavaro, an emergency stop, passed back.

Ronaldinho suddenly rushed to the center, got the ball, moved away from Mascherano, and volleyed with his right foot!

Fortunately, Casillas reacted very quickly and just flew up and dragged the ball over the crossbar, giving Barcelona a corner kick.

And all of this, Salgado could only watch behind him, breathing heavily, and there was nothing he could do.

This time both he and Real Madrid escaped, but the next time, when Ronaldinho used his personal ability to pass Salgado, he knocked back in front of the baseline and passed a beautiful back heel to Eto'o. , Eto'o calmly scored the ball 10 meters in front of the goal guarded by Casillas, 1:1!

The Bernabeu Stadium has lost its voice!

In the 32nd minute, Barcelona finally equalized the score, and the entire Bernabeu Stadium was silent!

…………

…………

Ramos was sitting in the stands, and sitting next to him, neatly dressed, was his brother who accompanied him to watch the game and was also his current agent, Rene, a person who knew what Ramos was thinking now.

Rene has frequently appeared in London and Milan recently, and is in contact with Milan and Chelsea, who are very interested in Ramos. Frankly speaking, if Ramos really decides to leave Real Madrid, then he will not be short of buyers, because He's the best defender in his age group, by far.

Too bad, Salgado is obviously old! Rene shook his head and sighed.

At the same time, he was also wondering why Yang Cheng would rather give Salgado a chance than let Ramos start?

A few months have passed, and Ramos has always been excluded from the squad. He can only watch the performance of his teammates in every game. He knows how uncomfortable his brother is, and he has also reacted to the management. , but there is no way, Yang Cheng has the final say in everything in the athletics department, and no one can get in the way.

Ramos didn't say anything because he didn't know what to say. He didn't want Real Madrid to lose, but he hoped Yang Cheng regretted blocking him.

Many people are paying attention to this game. Didn't I go to the Bernabeu Stadium two days ago? Guess who I met there? Rene and Ramos both watched the game, but they said Conversing.

As if he knew his brother's temper, Rene smiled and said, Mijatovic, now working in the Real Madrid press department, he has said many things to me, including that many people in the team are currently dissatisfied with Yang Cheng and feel that he He is too arrogant and overbearing, grabbing all the power and setting up a lot of rules, but everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out, but once the Derby of the Century is lost...

Rene didn't say much, but Ramos could guess what was going on. He was not an idiot.

He won't leave! Ramos said with certainty, at least not within two years!

Rene thought for a while and had to agree with this, and sighed, What about you?

If he doesn't leave, I'll leave! Ramos said without hesitation.

It can be seen that the young and energetic man has already given Yang Cheng the image of a tyrant in his heart. He has no shortage of buyers and there is no need to be soft on Yang Cheng. Since Yang Cheng has decided to ban him, he will leave, just leave. Real Madrid.

Brother, no one in this world can live without someone else!

Rene nodded. He understood that Ramos was banned in Real Madrid, but he was very popular in the outside world. Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United and many other wealthy teams were chasing him. He had no shortage of buyers.

They all hope you can have a chance to come over and talk! Rene said. His younger brother is like a stubborn donkey. When he decides on something, few people can change his mind.

Then go! Ramos said, but after a pause, he said again, But if the other party wants me to put pressure like Real Madrid, I won't do it. You have to make it clear first!

It was this club that made him a well-known star all over the world. Although he was leaving, he still didn't want to have a quarrel with Real Madrid because this was a club that had brought him and his family pride and joy. team.

Just when Rene was about to answer, he heard another exclamation from the surrounding stands, and then on one side of the stadium, some Barcelona fans who had followed the team to the away game excitedly rushed out of their seats and cheered Celebrating another Barcelona goal.

This was a through ball from Xavi that penetrated Real Madrid's defense. After Eto'o got the ball in the penalty area after being offside, he passed the ball across the left side. Ronaldinho got rid of Salgado's defense. He kicked the ball in front of the left goal and drove the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas, leading Barcelona to overtake the score!

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Real Madrid, because after taking the lead at the beginning, their advantage was reversed by Barcelona in the first half, especially towards the end of the first half. This is undoubtedly a blow to Real Madrid players. A big blow to morale.

1:2, Barcelona took the lead in the 41st minute!

On the court, Real Madrid's players all seemed very lonely after seeing Barcelona score, but on the sidelines, Yang Cheng always stood up, and he chose to bear all this with his players.

In fact, he was mentally prepared for whatever happened in this game.

Yang Cheng has indeed brought huge changes to Real Madrid, but it is obvious that he made a fatal mistake in this game. At least he should not continue to compete with Barcelona in terms of skills and attack power, but should abandon Real Madrid's noble past. attitude and choose a more pragmatic tactic to fight Barcelona.

Unlike Arbeloa on the left who froze Messi, Salgado on the right couldn't stop Ronaldinho at all. The Brazilian played a vital role in both Barcelona goals. Yang Cheng must reorganize his defense, and his adjustments during the halftime break will inevitably affect the situation of both sides in the second half.

It should be said that the score of 1:2 does not mean anything. Although Barcelona has the advantage, it is not guaranteed to win. Although Real Madrid is at a disadvantage, if they can make appropriate adjustments, they still have a chance to defeat Barcelona. At least Yang Cheng In the past, there have never been fewer wonderful adjustments like this at halftime!

Just as the on-site commentator was talking, the referee Brewer blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because the entire first half was indeed very beautiful. The two teams They all played very actively, there was no silence, they all took the initiative to attack, which made people excited after watching it.

But often behind such games, it is the lack of tactics of the head coach. At least he did not use targeted tactics to suppress the opponent's performance, especially for Real Madrid!

1:2, Real Madrid still has a chance!

Not only the on-site commentators, but also the tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, including all the fans and spectators gathered in front of the TV sets around the world, they are all waiting to see this Caesar who can always create magic. Can the midfielder bring any changes to Real Madrid?
