Super Coach

\u003e Returning to Spain from France, Real Madrid still seems confident of winning, and its excellent competitive state shows no signs of letting up at all. 1(1)

In the match against Villarreal at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid took complete control of the situation after the opening. Ronaldinho scored for Real Madrid in the 18th minute to help the team lead 1:0.

But just 2 minutes later, Kaka scored another victory for Real Madrid, 2:0.

After all, he is a kid who came out of Real Madrid. Xavi Garcia did not hold back in the face of Real Madrid. His assist helped Nirma get a goal back for Villarreal, 2:1.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Aguero scored in the 54th minute, once again expanding the score to 3:1.

Pellegrini is indeed a madman. Even though Real Madrid's offensive is so strong, the Yellow Submarine is not timid at all. He replaced defender Marcano with midfielder Pires and continued to strengthen the offensive against Real Madrid.

This kind of offensive battle is undoubtedly Real Madrid's favorite. In the 66th minute, Aguero's goal once again expanded the score to 4:1!

Although Xavi Garcia's long shot later brought another goal back for Villarreal, Real Madrid relied on the goals of Kaká and Parejo in the 79th and 82nd minutes, 6:2. Defeat Villarreal.

A wonderful offensive battle, which made the entire Bernabeu Stadium fans watch with gusto. Although Real Madrid conceded 2 goals, they scored 6 goals, and the whole game was full of excitement. Hearty.

But Barcelona are not to be outdone.

Barcelona has always appeared to be under pressure recently. This game turned grief and anger into strength. They defeated the visiting Racing Santander 4:0 at the Camp Nou and continued to maintain a 6-point gap against Real Madrid.

According to Guardiola, he must bite Real Madrid and never relax!

After a week's rest, in the 24th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Tenerife away.

Aguero, who replaced Villa, performed equally well, scoring twice in the first half. Helped Real Madrid lock the score at 2:0 and entered the halftime break. In the second half, Kaka and Ronaldinho's goals gave Real Madrid a big lead. Raul, who came on as a substitute at the last moment, added the icing on the cake, allowing Real Madrid to take the lead from the Canary Islands. Came back with a 5:0 victory.

Compared with Real Madrid's high morale, Barcelona's situation is worse.

Guardiola's home game against Malaga,

The fight was tight. It was also thrilling, and in the end it was thanks to Messi's goal at a critical moment. Defeated Malaga 2:1. A victory was narrowly preserved.

But a week later, Guardiola's team fell behind Almeria twice in an away game against Almeria. Especially the second goal caused the always stable Puyol to score an own goal. Ibrahimovic even received a red card in the 61st minute at a critical moment and was sent off.

Fortunately. Messi's goal in the 66th minute helped Barcelona take away a draw from the away game.

Real Madrid welcomed Sevilla at the Bernabeu Stadium. This time, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 3:1 at home cleanly, thus widening the points gap between themselves and Barcelona to 8 points. Negredo scored the only goal for Sevilla.

There are still 13 rounds left in the league, but they are already 8 points behind. This is undoubtedly a painful blow to Barcelona, ​​which has been clinging to it all the way. Guardiola also had to admit after the game that in the battle for the La Liga championship, , Barcelona can no longer keep up with Real Madrid's rhythm and pace.

However, media in Catalonia also said that Guardiola had already adjusted the team's strategy and tactics long ago, believing that Barcelona's current player lineup and configuration are not suitable for insisting on a multi-line confrontation strategy with Real Madrid. , but to specifically attack a certain front.

Cruyff also said before that Barcelona's current state and lineup are not suitable for multi-front operations. They should hit all the troops to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. Therefore, he approves of Guardiola's strategy and is slightly relaxed in the league. , but did not give in in the Champions League.

There is no doubt that the 1:1 draw with Stuttgart in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 gave Guardiola a wake-up call and made him clearly realize that the team's lineup cannot cope with multi-line operations, so he played against Almeria. There was some reserve in the game, and even Ibrahimovic was on the field, but the Swedish forward was really not very effective, not to mention not scoring a goal, but also got a red card. (1_1)

Barcelona also defeated Stuttgart cleanly 4:0 in the second leg of the home game against Stuttgart in midweek, and then successfully advanced to the top 8 with a total score of 5:1.

Compared with Barcelona's nervousness, Real Madrid was relatively relaxed. They also defeated Lyon 4:0 at the Bernabeu Stadium, and then eliminated the French Ligue 1 team from the Champions League with a total score of 7:0. They successfully entered the Champions League top 8, and even In the second half of this game, Yu Yangcheng also arranged for Sarabia, Muniain and Canales to appear. The young players played 30 minutes each.

The top 16 knockout rounds of the Champions League are all over, and the facts seem to confirm Yang Cheng's previous speculation.

Milan was completely defeated by Manchester United. First they lost 2:3 to Manchester United at the San Siro Stadium, and then lost 0:4 at the Old Trafford Stadium. The strength of Manchester United is evident.

In another focus game, Inter Milan lost to Chelsea 0:1 at their home court. Due to a 1:2 loss in the first round at Stamford Bridge, Inter Milan finally lost to Mourinho's Chelsea 1:3.

This Chelsea team is very strong. Mourinho also wanted to try the 4231 tactic before, but after walking around, he turned around and found that he is still better at handling 433, and 433 has also been Chelsea's usual tactic over the years.

There is a big gap between Bergomi's Inter Milan and Yang Cheng's back then, and the replacement was not done well enough. Moreover, Father Mo has started to interfere more with the team recently, and the internal locker room is also relatively chaotic, which has led to Inter Milan's lack of success in Europe. Competition on the field is weak, but in Serie A, the team that Yang Cheng left behind is enough to allow Inter Milan to run rampant.

Regarding Inter Milan. Yang Cheng definitely can't say much. First of all, he is not the head coach of Inter Milan. Secondly, his status in the hearts of Inter Milan fans is too high. Whatever he says can easily be interpreted as pressure on Bergomi. This is It's something Yang Cheng doesn't want to do, so he never comments on his old club.

Many people said. Yang Cheng's approach is very wise. At least he has maintained good relationships and friendships with all his old clubs and old acquaintances in the past, which is undoubtedly rare in today's football.

According to UEFA's plan, after the knockout rounds are over, the draw for the top 8 will begin.

The teams that have entered the top eight are: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow. This Russian team actually defeated Sevilla, which is indeed some strength.

These 8 teams will disrupt the reorganization. There was no evasion by people from the same country and in the same group, and all the draws were disrupted. The competition is divided into upper and lower halves. Until reaching the finals.

But when Yang Cheng arrived in Nyon, Switzerland, what was waiting for him was a frowning Beckenbauer.

…………

…………

What's going on? Yang Cheng looked at the old man in front of him with a smile, his brows almost frowning like Mount Everest, and asked with a smile.

Beckenbauer looked at Yang Cheng, Are you asking me as a friend? Or are you asking me, the UEFA president, as the head coach of Real Madrid? This old guy is really serious.

Yang Cheng thought about it and laughed, Is there any difference? Isn't this guy going through menopause early?

There are some things you should avoid as the president of UEFA. But there are some things you can say to your friends! He was quite serious.

Yang Cheng nodded, Let's talk about it. Friend! He deliberately emphasized the last title.

I'm worried that our efforts back then will be wasted by a group of... stupid and incompetent politicians! Beckenbauer said with a serious face, and because there was no one else in his office, he was willing to say, Otherwise, it would be very inappropriate for him to say this as the current president of UEFA.

Since Yang Cheng, Beckenbauer and others created the youth training system in Germany and established the direction of youth training, German football has seen an emergence of talents in recent years, and many outstanding stars have emerged, such as Ozil, Thomas? Muller, Toni Kroos and others are all top-notch talents.

As Yang Cheng said, the success of youth training ensured that Germany was competitive in both the 2006 and 2008 competitions. Now Germany is also a popular team in the World Cup in South Africa, but the problem is that the management turmoil and internal The intrigues have cast a shadow over the future of the German team.

At that time, Yang Cheng accepted the invitation of the German Football Association Chairman Braun to join the German Football Association. Even now, he still has the title of technical advisor. But in 2001, after the youth training entered the harvest period, Braun suffered from heart disease. The surgery, coupled with his 76-year-old age, directly led to Braun's departure from the German Football Association.

Since then, the German Football Association has entered the Warfield era, and Zwanziger has therefore entered the German Football Association Executive Committee. Until 2004, Warfield, who had a poor record, fell into doubts from the outside world. In addition, Germany in 2006 The pressure of the World Cup caused the German Football Association to have an absurd situation, which was to let Zwanziger and Warfield, who were responsible for finance, serve as chairman of the Football Association at the same time.

All this is not well known, because at that time everything was focused on the World Cup in Germany. In order to stabilize the overall situation, everyone tolerated it for the time being. However, after the World Cup in Germany, Beckenbauer took the lead in criticizing the dual-chairman policy. , an election was held later, and Zwanziger was elected president of the German Football Association, defeating Warfield.

After Zwanziger was elected chairman, Klinsmann left, and Loew, who originally served as Klinsmann's assistant, came to power. Loew and Klinsmann are of the same origin. In fact, Loew's techniques and tactics after taking office were also different. They were all drawn up jointly by the two during the Klinsmann era, and they just continued to make progress.

But the problem is that now Zwanziger is more like a politician who hopes to use football to accumulate political capital. He is never very familiar with football, but he is better at playing tricks. He hopes that he can change German football, but But he doesn't like people to give him opinions. Even when he participated in the game with the team, the position that should have belonged to the head coach was taken by him.

Yang Cheng, Beckenbauer and others previously promoted the reform of the German youth training system, and now Zwanziger regards it as his own merit. He goes everywhere to show off, but only some experienced fans know that he actually only entered the German Football Association in 2001.

It's not just these problems! Beckenbauer shook his head. Sammer and Loew didn't get along. The former was in charge of the youth team. Loew recruited several youth team internationals at once. Sammer was very dissatisfied. , and also. Bierhoff, the national team leader, does not get along with your favorite disciple Ballack, who is the national team captain!

Beckenbauer shook his head and smiled bitterly, Now the entire German Football Association is in a mess, and no one knows what to do!

Ballack represents some of the Kaiserslautern and Bayern Munich families. These people are very close because they are all Yang Cheng's former disciples and later Bayern Munich teammates. And they complained very much about Loew's management of the team after he came to power.

For example. They feel that the national team's restrictions on players' speech are too dogmatic. Anyone who accepts an interview must be reviewed, and even after media interviews, press releases must be reviewed by the press officer before being published. There are also many players who cannot play in the club but can play in the national team.

In addition, they are also dissatisfied with some of the new policies of the German Football Association, such as arranging some celebrations for the media to participate in every game, which is more like a show. The fact that players' family members can visit the camp was not allowed by the German national team in the past. Football Association officials, including the Chairman of the Football Association, were not allowed to travel with the team. It has now been changed as well.

After the 2008 European Cup, Ballack once revealed this to Yang Cheng. He feels that the current German team is under more media focus and attention, and the pressure is very high. Moreover, the chairman of the Football Association always travels with the team, which makes many small players in the team feel the pressure. Coupled with lax management, it makes The national team looks more like a summer camp.

In the final analysis, Loew's ability to control the national team is too weak!

As Yang Cheng said before, don't expect a docile sheep to lead a group of lions. No matter what the conflict is, including the conflict between Bierhoff and Ballack, or the conflict between the head coach and the Football Association, the root cause of all this is The reason is that the head coach's control ability is too low and he lacks enough toughness and confidence.

The world is like this. The less you dare to challenge him, the easier it will be for him to take advantage of you.

As the head coach of a team, you are not strong enough and do not have the tyranny. You neither dare to confront the Football Association nor can you control the locker room. The players will not listen to you at all. So, even if your team plays No matter how good football is, it is always just a castle in the air, a mirage. It may be able to win the scene, but it will definitely not win the result!

Why Yang Cheng has been able to succeed for so many years is because he clearly knows that to succeed, it is not just about football, but also about controlling the team on a spiritual level, which is something that the current German team does not have.

Let nature take its course! Yang Cheng comforted Beckenbauer with a smile.

He now has a high status in German football. No matter who is in charge of the Football Association or who is the head coach of the national team, he must be respected. In addition, he has achieved such achievements in European and world football. His words Everyone is paying attention to the whole line, so it's hard for him to say much.

When Beckenbauer saw him like this, he originally had a lot to say, but in the end he endured it.

With Yang Cheng's current status, there is really no need to pour into this pot of muddy water. No matter what he says, no matter which side he supports, he will offend the other side. It is better to say nothing at all, protect himself wisely, and enjoy his transcendent status.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals has a bit of a conspiracy theory no matter how you look at it, because it is a bit too specific to the Premier League, but this has become almost everyone's consensus.

Arsenal's opponent in the top 8 is Barcelona. The showdown between these two teams has also attracted attention. Although Arsenal has a poor record in the league, it has always performed well in the Champions League and has entered the top 4 consecutively. , if we can defeat Barcelona this season, we can also reach the semi-finals again, but is this possible?

The opponent Real Madrid drew was Ferguson's Manchester United. The showdown between Yang Cheng and Ferguson has become a scene full of suspense in the Champions League. Real Madrid's top 16 knockout match is fierce, but their opponent Lyon is not strong enough, and Manchester United is no different. A lot of concessions, and the opponent is a traditional giant like Milan.

It can be said that this is an early contest between the two favorites to win the Champions League. It is undoubtedly the most influential and appealing matchup in this season's top eight knockout rounds.

Chelsea faced CSKA Moscow, Bayern Munich met Bordeaux, and the remaining two matchups were quite disparate in strength.

Among them, Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as Bayern Munich and Bordeaux are all in the top half, while Chelsea versus CSKA Moscow and Barcelona versus Arsenal are in the bottom half. This also creates a kind of suspense. Will the final turn into a derby versus a bitter rival?

The possibility is very high!

Whether Real Madrid and Manchester United qualify, or they face Chelsea or Barcelona, ​​it is a suspenseful game.

According to the interpretation of outside media, this is UEFA's response to the situation where the Premier League teams have monopolized the three seats in the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons. They separated the three teams and encountered the strongest team again. Real Madrid and Barcelona are likely to create a situation where only one Premier League team enters the semi-finals.

Therefore, after the draw results came out, the debate about UEFA's intention to eliminate the Premier League once again spread all over the world. Public opinion adopted a conspiracy theory to interpret the draw, and at the same time, Real Madrid and Manchester United won the championship. The popular showdown is seen as a preview of the final.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng, the party involved, said in an interview with reporters after the draw that he was very satisfied with the draw.

Competing with strong teams makes it easier to stimulate the team's state and morale! Yang Cheng said proudly, There is no doubt that we will enter the final. As for whether the opponent is Barcelona or Chelsea, we don't care!

But Ferguson also said in an interview, We will eliminate Real Madrid and enter the final, and no matter who the opponent is, we will definitely win the championship in the end!

There are other people who also expressed their opinions. Obviously no one wants to damage the team's morale at this time. Everyone has only one goal, a decisive victory at the Bernabeu! (To be continued...)
