In my motherland, there is a philosophy called Tai Chi, which means the center of space.

Tai Chi has two sides, black and white, yin and yang. Black is yin and white is yang. The two blend and circulate with each other. There is yang in yin and yin in yang. Therefore, in the Tai Chi diagram, you can see the yin eye and the yang eye.

The philosophical influence of Tai Chi is very broad, not only applicable to many aspects, but also applicable to football.

Attack and defense, ball control and space control, center and wing...

These contradictions on the football field are like the yin and yang in Tai Chi. They seem incompatible, but in fact they can blend with each other.

Just like defense. Many years ago, many people were debating whether zone defense or man-to-man defense was better. But soon, they all lost. Zone man-to-man defense came into being and became a new defensive concept. , it is an organic fusion of zone defense and man-to-man.

Today's football tactics are inseparable from zone marking. Whether it is in sports battles or set pieces, it plays a decisive role. However, when everyone is used to all this, they will not notice its existence. Or even ignore it.

What I want to say is that tactics, football concepts, and playing styles are fundamentally neutral. There is no distinction between good and bad, no offense or defense. It just depends on how the tactics and concepts are used. .

You can put up a 4-forward tactic, but is that necessarily an attack?

You can also use a 460 without a forward tactic, but does that have to be defense?

The same is playing 442. Some people will put 4 engineer players in the midfield, which is biased towards defense, and some people are all technical offensive players, which is offense. But their formation is also 442, Isn't it?

The tactical formation is like this, and so are the concepts and styles!

Every time I think about a tactical problem, I always like to understand everything as a chaos, no offense and defense, no ball control and space control, no center and wide, everything. .

The advantage of this is that you can slowly add things to it as you like.

I can put my defense high up, and even force the opponent to play in the half court, but that is based on the premise that my team has this kind of strength, and then I have to find a way to ensure the opponent to the maximum extent. I won’t play sharp counterattacks; I can also ask my full-backs to frequently advance forward to assist,

But I have to ensure that someone can fill in for him; I can also ask my forwards to take on heavy retracement and defensive tasks, but I have to ensure that someone can replace him and insert into the penalty area to complete the final shot.

Everything is closely related, and the construction of tactics is linked to each other, especially in the competition between top teams. If there is a problem in one link, it will affect everyone on the team.

In the final analysis, football tactics are essentially an organic whole composed of a lot of contradictions such as offense and defense, ball control and space control, wing and center, etc. If you have someone to attack, you have to have someone to defend. After all, your blind control of the ball cannot resist well-trained and rigorous tactics. In the end, sharp wing attacks still rely on support from the center to complete goals.

Therefore, how to effectively achieve balance and complete the integration of contradictions is the basis of a set of tactics.

The philosophy of Tai Chi emphasizes integration and circulation, and the same goes for football tactics.

Things in the world are like this. They are always in a constant cycle. Some things are gone forever. But some things reappear in different forms after disappearing for a period of time.

So I wouldn’t be surprised if one day 3-back becomes the mainstream again, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Beckenbauer’s free man tactics become brilliant again, because that’s how the world is.

But as a head coach, what must be studied in depth is whether the reappearance of the three defenders is the same as in history? Is there any difference between the free agent tactics after the reappearance and those during the Beckenbauer and Sammer era?

Tactics are developing, the football environment is changing, people's thinking is also changing, and professional coaches must also change with the times. We must try some new ideas anytime and anywhere, from countless different ones, which have even been eliminated by history. Among the tactics, absorb their advantages, constantly try some different ideas, and integrate different characteristics and advantages.

You may fail, but failure is also a contribution, because your failure may inspire the success of others; you may also succeed, lead the trend of the times, and initiate changes in football tactics, and then some other people will think about your tactics. Come up with some ways to stop you, and then you have to come up with some innovations based on the original ones and try again.

The current football tactics are undoubtedly the most outstanding period in history, because we have absorbed the advantages of countless excellent historical tactics, filled in their shortcomings, and continued to develop them after a long period of refinement and testing, so the current football tactics Tactics are the best.

But football tactics are also constantly advancing. The best one now will be eliminated two years later, three years later, or ten years later.

If you want to keep up with the times, you must ask for change, dare to try, and dare to innovate!

In the office at the Valdebebas training base, Yang Cheng was printing the preface to his new book on his computer.

The most difficult thing about writing a book is the beginning.

The printed preface was turned over by Paul Bayer, Benitez and others, and everyone read it carefully.

Boss, what is Tai Chi? Raul asked with concern.

Yang Cheng smiled and said, Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese philosophy. It's hard to talk about it. I'll draw it for you!

He drew a circle on a blank piece of paper, the yin and yang fish of Tai Chi, and two eyes, and then introduced the mystery of Tai Chi to Raul and others. In fact, he could not study it. Deeply, I just feel that the influence of Tai Chi is very broad and subtle.

If you are interested, you can look for related books. I think there are two things that are good for tactics. Yang Cheng introduced with a smile. These are also the two types of books he strongly recommended in the previous training courses for European professional coaches. , Works related to Tai Chi and Sun Tzu's Art of War!

Sun Tzu's Art of War? Zidane was stunned and laughed: Isn't that a book of war?

Yang Cheng nodded, It is indeed a war manual, but Sun Tzu's Art of War is also useful on the football field.

With that said, Yang Cheng introduced the compatibility between Sun Tzu's Art of War and football.

There was an English version of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his office, so he took it out and introduced it to Zidane and others according to the article on Sun Tzu's Art of War. As for Paul Bayer and others, they had been influenced by Yang Cheng for a long time. I have memorized several books about Chinese culture by heart.

For example, here, if you can't defend yourself, you can take advantage of it, which means attacking the enemy's weakest link and forcing them to defend. Isn't this what we have always encouraged players to do on the football field? ?”

Raul and others nodded. This was the first time they had heard that this ancient Chinese military book had such a use.

Seeing their reactions, Yang Cheng found it interesting. He was wondering, if reporters knew all this, would these Chinese military books, cultural books, etc. become best-selling in European football circles, and then Will it form a trend?

Paul Bayer, Benitez and others mainly wanted to see what Yang Cheng wrote for the first time, and then a group of people discussed the content and raised a series of questions, or some comments about Yang Cheng. Improve the idea and even go a little deeper.

They have been working together for so many years and are very familiar with each other. They also know what Yang Cheng is thinking, so they often easily give Yang Cheng a lot of suggestions and even inspire some of his ideas.

During the national team game week, most of the players have gone to participate in the national team game. There are not many people left, so it is easy to arrange training sessions. It relies more on the players' self-discipline, while the coaching staff is more Gathered in Yang Cheng's office, they discussed the contents of his book and some of the ideas and ideas in the book.

This good discussion and research atmosphere is very helpful to everyone, so they are also very enthusiastic about it.

Yang Cheng's character can sometimes be said to be radical. He wants to write a book. Once he gets started, it is difficult to stop. He writes all day long, writing whatever comes to mind. Anyway, he will sort it out later. , sometimes I lose track of time as soon as I get involved in writing.

After writing for a long time, facing the computer, his eyes were very tired, his blood was not circulating, and he was dizzy. Yang Cheng had to stop and stand up. He couldn't help but smile when he saw that the sofa area in the distance was neatly arranged.

That's how good a partner is. Paul Bayer knows Yang Cheng very well and knows that he is a person who doesn't like to clean up, but he doesn't want to see messes. He even has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he helped him clean up before leaving. For a moment, this made Yang Cheng feel happy.

To be honest, sometimes he really feels that if he loses these right-hand men, he will not feel comfortable doing anything, because there are many things that Paul Bayer and others have done for him in private, and maybe even Even he doesn't know that this can save him a lot of trouble.

Just when he was about to make himself a cup of coffee, the cell phone on his desk rang.

My Lord Caesar, where are you? Sienna Miller's voice came from the phone.

Yang Cheng was stunned, In Madrid!

Nonsense, I also know you are in Madrid, I got off the plane! Sienna complained.

Yang Cheng immediately slapped his forehead and cursed inwardly. He had completely forgotten about Sienna. She called today to say that she was coming over to do something. At that time, he even said that he was going to pick up her plane, but as soon as he was busy, he Forgot about things.

Forget it, I don't know which woman you are fooling around with anyway, I'll go home by myself! Sienna muttered.

Wait, I'll be there right away, 5 minutes!

Ten minutes later, Yang Cheng's Bugatti appeared outside the airport waiting hall.

Sienna, who was wearing a pair of slim jeans and a military-colored jacket, was signing autographs and taking photos for fans at the gate. As soon as she saw Yang Cheng's car, she got rid of the fans and got into the car. Under their gaze, Leave next.

Where were you just now? As soon as she got into the car, she came over and smelled Yang Cheng's body.

Yang Cheng was driving and felt funny when he saw her like this. He shook his head. Unexpectedly, she suddenly kissed him hard on the cheek, which was a sneak attack.

Fortunately, I didn't smell the perfume. Otherwise...

What else? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

She chuckled and didn't answer, I'm hungry, let's eat first!

Yang Cheng didn't feel it before, but when he heard it, his stomach growled, and he went directly to the Isola Bella restaurant in the center of Madrid that Yang Cheng often went to.

Today, Isola Bella has become a famous chain restaurant company with branches all over Europe. Tony Vicino is now the full-time company owner, and Yang Cheng also owns the shares of this company, which he lent to Tony before For the money, he directly returned 3% of Yang Cheng's shares.

The two opened a private room at Isola Bella and ordered several Madrid specialties.

Why are you staring at me like this? Yang Cheng asked.

Because I'm waiting for you to look at me! Sienna smiled.

What do you want to see?

Sienna turned her head angrily and cursed, You are so heartless!

But you've become a little bit darker recently! Yang Cheng said.

The girl immediately became happy, Of course, how can it not be dark when you are blowing the sea breeze in Dubai all day?

How is the progress in Dubai? Yang Cheng asked casually.

No problem, we are responsible for the design anyway. Although many people now say that Dubai is going bankrupt, Fashion Island is a big project. Contracts have been signed with many businesses, so it cannot be postponed.

There is a time limit in the contract signed before. Dubai certainly does not dare to delay the construction period. The fees paid to Yang Cheng and the others are also very generous. Sienna and Heidi Klum now go to Dubai whenever they are free. live.

Anyway, you can stay at the ultra-luxurious Burj Al Arab Hotel for free, and they regard supervising there as a trip.

This time, German Bild has joined hands with a publishing giant to cooperate with you. They hope to publish your upcoming book, as well as your autobiography and several other supporting books. Sienna said.

Yang Cheng shook his head, I never thought about publishing an autobiography!

It is actually very common to publish autobiographies. Many people, whether they are players or managers, have published autobiographies, because they will have many fans, and there are some private topics in their autobiographies. Therefore, the sales of books are very good. For example, Real Madrid has cooperated with publishers to publish autobiographies for a series of famous players.

Someone has proposed to cooperate with Yang Cheng a long time ago, hoping that he will publish an autobiography and some supporting books. With his influence and fame, plus him and Charlize = Theron, Sienna = Miller and others If you add a little something to it, it will definitely sell well.

The relationship between Yang Cheng and them is simply an inexhaustible ammunition storehouse. Anything he writes can be a hot seller, so many publishers are very eager to cooperate with Yang Cheng.

They promised that they would invite Gran Nak to write it! Sienna said.

Glen? Yang Cheng smiled. This guy is now very popular in Germany.

We all think this is a good idea!

Yang Cheng thought for a while, I don't like having my privacy revealed! He still felt bad.

Then write something else, just touch on the privacy, or pick some trivial things. Sienna smiled, Their idea is to make a series. I talked with them, and I think the plan and attitude are good. , and Grant Nak is also a trustworthy writer, right?

Yang Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, That's true.

Glen Nack has had an old friendship with him for many years. Yang Cheng knows better than anyone what kind of person he is.

If you nod, then I will agree to them! Sienna pouted.

When Yang Cheng saw her cute look, his heart moved and he stretched out his hand to pinch her face gently.

Sienna's watery eyes seemed to be oozing with water. She stared at Yang Cheng and deliberately looked impatient, Eat quickly. After eating, let's go home and do serious things!

The two weeks of national team matches are definitely not an easy thing for La Liga teams.

Firstly, the team training cannot be unified, and secondly, after the national team game is over, there will be an intensive week of double matches, followed by two weeks of national team match days in October, and then a series of weekly double matches. The schedule is extremely intensive and is a big test for any team.

For Real Madrid, another big test is that they will participate in the Club World Cup in Japan in December. Although there are only two games, they have to travel thousands of kilometers back and forth. For Real Madrid players, it will also be It's a big test.

Yang Cheng has closely told Chris Schmidt and asked Michel's scouting team to follow the club's players to understand their game situations and track their physical conditions. Chris will be the first to report on the players' return to the team. time, submit a player's physical condition report to Yang Cheng so that he can prepare for the second round of the league, away game against Espanyol.

This Barcelona's mortal enemy team is not simple at all. Real Madrid suffered a loss from him last season and has always been a tough opponent. Now Real Madrid and Barcelona have won the first round of the league, and Barcelona challenged Hercules away in the second round. Tafe, Yang Cheng certainly does not want Real Madrid to drop points and fall behind from the beginning.

According to Yang Cheng's plan, the league must use all means to grab points and strive to establish a lead from the beginning. It is best to be able to put a certain distance away from Barcelona, ​​so as to have enough advantages to continue in the second half of the league. Persist in fighting on multiple fronts.

But he also prepared for the worst, that is, if Barcelona bites Real Madrid and even takes the lead, then the battle for the La Liga championship will completely turn into a contest of willpower and tenacity.

So after the players finished their national team games and returned to their clubs, Yang Cheng called on them to bite the bullet and endure this difficult period, and he made rotation arrangements for those teams that returned to South America to compete. , and some players who played too many games in the national team, resulting in poor physical fitness and condition, were not taken to Barcelona by him.

This caused many media to say that Yang Cheng was taking a Real Madrid second team to Barcelona to challenge Espanyol away from home, but Barcelona was different. Guardiola did his best to lead all the main players of the team to Madrid.

But no one expected that the next development of the situation was far beyond everyone's expectations!
