677 Breaking the Curse

We no longer need to care about what's going on with Real Madrid. There is no doubt that they are now enjoying the huge advantage brought by being the league leader. They are a very good team, but we don't You should not pay too much attention to them, but should concentrate all your energy and devote yourself to every game. This chapter is updated for you by netizens]

Real Madrid is about to face the devilish schedule of Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia and Sevilla. We have absolute reasons to believe that Real Madrid will lose points against these three teams, and what we have to do now is It’s not about pursuing responsibility, but thinking about how to win every game.”

Football players often don't understand that our lineup has improved compared to last season and even the two seasons we won the championship. The same goes for our tactics. But when the players are stronger and their cooperation is more tacit, Even though the team is more disciplined, we still have a hard time playing every game. The reason is very simple: our opponents already know us!

When your tactics are studied by everyone, understood and restrained by everyone, you will find that every game will become very difficult to play, which requires us to constantly adjust and improve.

Another issue that needs improvement is our locker room. We must reorganize the order in the locker room, establish a good competition and orderly elimination mechanism, maintain the stability of the locker room and team system, and find an effective way rotation strategy, after all we have to deal with multi-front battles every season!

We performed pretty well in the Champions League. Although we had a bit of a scare against Celtic in the last 16, we advanced in the end. The players and I are very confident that we can beat Liverpool in the last 8 and enter. Semifinals!

In Yang Cheng's office, taking advantage of their free time during training, several people were watching the TV report of Guardiola being interviewed. This was originally supposed to be the Barcelona head coach coming out for the interview, but now Guardiola has been replaced.

Is this an obvious signal? Redondo asked with a slight smile.

Replacing Rijkaard with Guardiola is already a secret that everyone knows, but it is not absolutely certain. It is said that Barcelona is currently sending people to contact Mourinho and his agent Mendes. .

Having been beaten by Real Madrid for two consecutive seasons, especially this season, they are likely to create an extremely embarrassing situation, that is, lining up at the Bernabeu Stadium to welcome Real Madrid who won the championship early. This has never happened before in the history of the two teams. Yes, this is a scene that creates history and will be remembered by the fans of both teams forever.

Mourinho is the second most famous coach in football today after Yang Cheng. He is young and passionate.

It’s just that his tactics are a bit incompatible with Barcelona’s system, but his understanding of Yang Cheng and the competition between him and Yang Cheng make him the coach that Barcelona has the best chance of defeating Yang Cheng in today’s football world. .

Especially last season, Mourinho's Chelsea eliminated Yang Cheng's Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.

The results of this season’s lottery are also out. According to the current schedule, Real Madrid will face Arsenal in the top 8. If they enter the top 4, they will meet the winner between Fenerbahce and Chelsea. There is no doubt that the Blues’ Maybe xìng is bigger.

Barcelona encounters Liverpool. If it successfully advances to the semi-finals, the opponent it encounters is the winner between Roma and Manchester United.

Méndez told me about this before. He even jokingly said that I will meet Mourinho in La Liga next season! Yang Cheng said with a serious expression.

Mourinho is definitely the best coach in today's football who knows how to restrain Yang Cheng. After Benitez was added to the coaching staff by Yang Cheng, Mourinho is the most tactically targeted coach besides Yang Cheng. Currently Real Madrid's defensive system is still adjusting, and the offensive system is not perfect enough, which makes Real Madrid's encounter with Chelsea a certain degree of risk.

If Mourinho really takes charge of Barcelona next season, he will definitely pose a huge threat to Yang Cheng's Real Madrid, because this requires Yang Cheng to make every step shocking, and there must be no slightest sign. carelessness.

But Cruyff seems firmly opposed to Mourinho joining Barcelona! Benitez said.

Yang Cheng smiled helplessly. He didn't know about this kind of thing, but judging from what Mendes said, the contact between Barcelona and Mourinho has undoubtedly been very in-depth. Otherwise, based on the nature of the Portuguese agent, Ge, he would not make such a joke with Yang Cheng.

Maybe it's for grades! Paul? Bayer thinks.

This season's record is so disastrous, and Barcelona's tactical philosophy has indeed encountered a bottleneck. This requires Barcelona to make adjustments and changes. If they continue to use Cruyff's series of coaches, the changes will undoubtedly become very difficult. Insignificant, in this case, Mourinho's arrival may be a big break.

Besides, isn’t Mourinho also a head coach from Barcelona?

At best, we can only say that the Barcelona players don’t like this Portuguese!

We have almost the same problem as Barcelona now! Benitez chuckled. They lack depth in controlling the ball. We need to dig deeper in the offense. Frankly speaking, it's really to the extent you said. , who has more hope of winning? After the Spaniard finished speaking, he looked at Yang Cheng.

Barcelona's current problem is that their ball possession rate is too high and their ineffective possession time is too long. It may be difficult to understand this. To put it simply, their ball possession is more on the midfield line, that is, Between Xavi and Iniesta, both players are located outside the opponent's 32-meter threat area.

Therefore, everyone can see that once the 32-meter area is guarded, it will be difficult for Barcelona to pass the ball in. Once Yaya? If Toure loses his position, Barcelona will put Xavi and Iniesta into a ball-possession dilemma. Once they are intercepted, it will be a counterattack.

Everyone knows that losing depth and making too many cross passes in a certain horizontal area means that every time you lose the ball, the opponent will counterattack. This is what Yang Cheng did when he was at Camp Nou!

If Yang Cheng is chosen, he will not go from one extreme to the other as some media and football people have suggested. He will not give up possession of the ball, but will increase the depth of stable possession of the ball.

It's very simple, behind Xavi and Iniesta, arrange a stable ball release point, Yaya? Toure would be most suitable as long as he sticks to his duties. If that doesn't work, Busquets can step in and the central defender can also participate.

But this is just to maintain the depth of the ball possession rate. To achieve the depth of the attack, a connecting point must be installed within the 32-meter area. Messi can lean towards the center and leave the wing for Alves to attack. Messi's small size and ability to pick up and protect the ball under high-intensity pressure enable him to become the team's stable 32-meter area contact point.

In this way, there will be points for the ball one after another, and the ball control and ball routes will be deeper. Coupled with the perfect cooperation between Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, Barcelona's offensive threat will be improved than it is now. I don’t know how many times!

As for Real Madrid's offensive depth, it is more about destroying and torturing the opponent's defense.

They are right, if Barcelona's offense is yj, then Real Madrid's offense is qj.

Now Kaká’s position is more flexible. Although this makes him more threatening to participate in the attack and more sudden, the previous pull and interference on the opponent’s defense line, as well as the insufficient pressure exerted, cannot rely on Villa alone. One person is not enough, so Yang Cheng wants to find another player who can torture the opponent's defense all the time, such as Ronaldinho.

What Real Madrid lacks the most today is opportunities. Yang Cheng's entire tactical system can ensure to the greatest extent that the team can pass the ball into the opponent's threat area at all times. The key is how to ensure that opportunities are seized in the threat area.

So, at first glance, both Real Madrid and Barcelona need depth, but the depth the two teams need is completely different.

Whether it is Mourinho or Guardiola, unless they completely break Barcelona's overall tactical system, otherwise, if they continue to follow the current development trend, they will only have to establish deep connection points, and as long as they do this, I can teach them a lesson!

Since Yang Cheng can figure it out, he must have a way to restrain it!

…………

…………

The football field is always full of all kinds of bizarre incidents.

For example, the curse of the locker room at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, such as the curse of the best coach in the Premier League, and for Real Madrid, the biggest curse is the Curse of Riazor.

In the past ten years, one team was once invincible across the continent of Europe and the La Liga giants were once invincible. The other team was only quasi-first-rate, not even top-notch. Deportivo only exploded in strength in individual seasons. Runa, in the same league, goes to the Riazor Stadium once every season, but Real Madrid has never won at the Riazor Stadium in the past 17 years.

What is the reason for this?

Is this really because this stadium has a curse that makes it difficult for Real Madrid to defeat their opponents once they enter this stadium?

Absolutely not!

Yang Cheng feels that one of the important reasons why Real Madrid encountered the curse of Riazor is psychological pressure, which will make Real Madrid always worry and doubt themselves. However, Deportivo has a psychological advantage against Real Madrid in this stadium. It's easier to push them beyond their level because they haven't lost to Real Madrid here in 17 years.

In the past 17 years, Real Madrid has encountered too many disasters at the Riazor Stadium, the most famous of which are the two games in 1999 and 2000.

In 1999, Real Madrid challenged Deportivo away from home and lost 0:3 at halftime. Mijatovic and Seedorf had a fierce internal conflict. This made all Real Madrid fans disappointed with the team, not just the loss. The ball also lost people; in 2000, Real Madrid lost 2:5 away to Deportivo. Former Real Madrid player Victor scored the third goal for Deportivo to seal the victory, but when he was sent off with a red card, he faced Real Madrid president Sanz spitted in the stands, causing a huge reaction.

The reason is very simple. Before the game, the media broke the news that Sanz lost money in the casino and secretly misappropriated public funds from the club's account to pay off his gambling debts. This was exposed by reporters and attracted the reprimands of countless Real Madrid fans. Victor's spitting incident even received recognition and response from many Real Madrid fans.

This is not because Sanz was too poor to pay off his gambling debts. He was definitely not as depressed as he is now. He was a well-known rich man at the time, but he secretly misappropriated the club's public funds to pay off his gambling debts. This was not just an embezzlement of public funds. The problem is this person's character, his feelings and positioning towards the club.

In fact, as early as Mendoza's period, Sanz was not favored by Mendoza. He was able to become chairman later mainly because Mendoza was in poor health and retired early. As vice chairman, Sanz took direct control through the board of directors. After joining Real Madrid, the whole process was really similar to the process when Calderon took charge of Real Madrid later.

If you want to talk about Sanz's achievements in charge of Real Madrid, there is really nothing to say. In 5 years, he won one La Liga and two Champions Leagues. The latter is mentioned by countless people, but if you look at how he won the two Champions Leagues, almost all It is the credit of the head coach, whether it is Heynckes in the first game or Del Bosque in the second game.

When Real Madrid defeated Juventus in the final, the whole world marveled that Real Madrid had suffered an upset. As for Del Bosque, he performed a legendary half-season as the fire-fighting coach, saved Real Madrid from the league crisis, and determined to change the formation and lead Real Madrid to win all the way. Reaching the Champions League final and winning the trophy is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Del Bosque's coaching career.

It's just that people are very strange animals. Because of the three dark years in the first phase of Galactica, everyone began to go to the other extreme, excessively beautifying Real Madrid during Sanz's period, but ignoring his contribution to Real Madrid within 5 years. Seven head coaches have been changed, not counting Del Bosque's two firefights. The only league championship was achieved by Capello's large-scale purge and spending money on signings.

However, Sanz hoped that Capello could let his son play the main role in Real Madrid and put pressure on Capello. However, the Italian coach believed that Sanz's son's ability was too mediocre. The two often quarreled over this. Later, Capello won the championship. After switching to Milan, Sanz once again purged and reorganized Capello's old team.

It was under this circumstance that the core player of the Capello era, the youth training player Victor? Sanchez became a substitute and switched to Racing Santander in 1998. At that time, many people were puzzled by this, thinking why they gave up Victor when there was a lack of right-wing players?

With this layer of grievances, coupled with the various scandals that Sanz was exposed, there was a scene where the Real Madrid youth training spit at the chairman at the Riazor Stadium.

Because of all the past experiences and accumulation, every trip to the Riazor Stadium by Real Madrid is always given a deeper meaning.

The strange cycle of 2017, the winless record of 2017, coupled with Real Madrid’s rapid progress in La Liga this season, all these have made people have higher expectations for Real Madrid’s trip to the Riazor Stadium. I hope that Yang Cheng and his The team can help the team bid farewell to the nightmare of 17 years at the Riazor Stadium.

But before the game, first Mascherano was absent due to accumulation of yellow cards, and then Pepe was also injured in training. These all cast a shadow on Real Madrid's trip to Riazor. It is definitely not a good thing to lose two generals.

What is even more confusing is that Yang Cheng arranged a 433 tactic in this game. The defense line remained basically unchanged, with Ramos moved to the center to replace Pepe, and Arbeloa playing on the right. Marcelo is on the left, and the other central defender is Thiago, who has been very stable this season? Silva.

The three midfielders are a bit surprising, Xavi? Alonso, Granero and Beckham are all technical players, while the three forwards are Villa, Kaká and Aguero.

From the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's strategy was very resolute. Yang Cheng's team did not press as aggressively as before, but adopted the usual defensive position, but whether it was Thiago? Both Silva and Ramos actively participated in the midfield pressure and receiving passes.

Kaka's position is relatively deep, while Villa and Aguero frequently run in front, looking for opportunities.

Deportivo continued to maintain its previous game strategy against Real Madrid, strengthening the midfielder's fighting and defense. However, due to Real Madrid's midfielder retracement, more full-back forward attacks were used, which made Deportivo's midfielder more aggressive. They had to press out from the field and hit the gaps behind them, giving Real Madrid a chance to fight alone.

In the 13th minute, Marcelo moved forward from the left and got Xavi? After Alonso's diagonal pass, he went down to the baseline and passed through. Deportivo's center back headed the ball out of the penalty area, but Real Madrid's second bōchā's offensive was already in place, and Granero's penalty area was at the top of the arc. After stopping the ball on the left side, he hit a chōushè with his right foot.

The ball followed an arc and hit Deportivo's blind spot, 0:1!

After scoring the first goal, Real Madrid showed a stable side, especially in terms of ball control. They skillfully passed back and forth to make the most of the passing to consume Deportivo's physical energy. In the 40th minute, Villa broke through on the left and passed it diagonally back to Kaká. The latter got the ball and passed the ball diagonally to the right. Aguero followed up and scored calmly, giving Real Madrid another victory, 0:2. !

Continuous goals allowed Real Madrid to enter the halftime break with a 2:0 advantage, allowing all Real Madrid fans to see the hope and dawn of breaking Riazor's curse, but Yang Cheng still warned himself during the midfield Players should not be overly optimistic and should start playing more patiently.

Deportivo's full-court press did put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid and made many mistakes. However, Real Madrid's defense shrank, causing Deportivo's counterattack to fail to have a threatening opportunity. Instead, its physical fitness declined. After that, the situation once again returned to Real Madrid's control.

In the 82nd and 87th minutes, Real Madrid once again launched a counterattack. Ramos and Raul, who came on as a substitute, scored goals for Real Madrid respectively, helping Real Madrid finally take away the game from the Riazor Stadium 4:0. A wonderful victory.

This is also the first time Real Madrid has won at the Riazor Stadium in the past 17 years. It also wiped out the humiliation of losing at the Riazor Stadium last season. It greatly boosted the morale of Real Madrid, especially the Real Madrid fans. He was so happy that he shouted Long Live Caesar to express his respect and love for the head coach.

But on the day after this game, Barcelona suffered a 2:2 away draw with Almeria. The point gap between the two teams widened to 22 points. However, because Villarreal won, Real Madrid took the lead. Only 20 points!
