Chapter 603 Juanito’s Tears

"This is an extremely exciting game!"

At the moment when referee Brewer blew the whistle at the end of the game, the commentator seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The game was a draw, 2:2. Real Madrid drew with Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium. This is indeed not an ideal score for Real Madrid because they are playing at home.

"This is also Real Madrid's best game so far this season. Maybe they made a lot of mistakes. Under Barcelona's strong pressure, they made a lot of mistakes. The passing and receiving cooperation was not skillful enough. There is not enough tacit understanding between them, and the team's overall technical and tactical capabilities are much lower than Barcelona."

"But this is really Real Madrid's best game so far this season!"

When explaining this on the spot, he suddenly paused for a few seconds, as if thinking about the past, "This should be the first time in the past three years that Real Madrid has squared up and faced Barcelona, ​​and the bayonet was bloody. In the offensive battle, even when they were reversed, Real Madrid did not back down at all."

"This is really not easy, really, really not easy!"

"Yang Cheng completely conquered me with this game. At least his courage, his courage and persistence to fight against Barcelona at critical moments, I can't help but admire such a man, but he It’s not just courage, he also has excellent tactical qualities and commanding abilities on the battlefield.”

"With Yang Cheng, several adjustments and substitutions showed results during the game. Rijkaard's deficiencies in tactics and on-the-field command were completely exposed. When he replaced Marcos with Giuly, but then used Eder Milson replaced Messi, two substitutions in a row, and it was obvious that there was no unified thinking and Yang Cheng was leading the way."

"It's really rare for Real Madrid to get this draw, but what's even more rare is that they continued to attack even at the end. They even forced Barcelona to retreat in the last few minutes. This is something we have never seen in the past few years.”

"We can finally understand why Del Bosque said that Real Madrid's hiring of Yang Cheng was the wisest choice, because he thoroughly demonstrated the role that a modern football head coach can play in this game, and even We can say that he alone bridges the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in all aspects."

"As the number one coach in the world, he used his courage and fearlessness to lead Real Madrid to the most classic derby of the century in recent years. He also played out the spirit and fighting spirit of Real Madrid. They can even proudly say to Barcelona , it was the referee’s whistle that saved you!”

"Early before the season,

When Yang Cheng first joined the team. Many people suggested that he sell Raul and Guti, but we saw that he did not do so. Under his training, these two spiritual leaders of Real Madrid played a decisive role. Guti's passing after coming on the court The ball even reversed the situation on the field. "

"This game looks like a draw, but in fact, Barcelona lost!"

"Faced with such a newly formed Real Madrid team, whose players did not have a tacit understanding and whose techniques and tactics were not mature enough, they failed to win Real Madrid. Barcelona has undoubtedly lost, especially at the beginning of the first half and the last period of the second half. It made Barcelona completely lose face."

"This passionate collision between the two La Liga heroes has completely ignited the battle for the La Liga championship this season, and also left a spark for the next Derby of the Century at Camp Nou. We have reason to believe that all Real Madrid fans will give the team more patience and wait quietly. Waiting for a more mature and outstanding Real Madrid to appear in front of the world at the Camp Nou. By then. They There will be a chance to beat our bitter rivals at the Camp Nou!"

"But Barcelona's lead is still obvious, not only in terms of league points, but also in terms of the team's overall strength. This will make Barcelona more competitive in La Liga. They are still the number one winner of La Liga this season. As a favorite, the key still depends on how Rijkaard coordinates the impact of multi-front operations."

"With the end of the seventh round of the league, the situation of the La Liga championship has become clear. Barcelona, ​​which is currently far ahead, undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. With an impressive record of 6 wins and 1 draw, Barcelona has not lost a single defeat in La Liga. Real Madrid is 5 points behind Barcelona. points, tied for second place with Valencia, but Real Madrid occupies second place in the league with a goal difference advantage.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the league championship will be a contest between these three teams, and as this game unfolds, the battle for the La Liga championship will become even more suspenseful!"

…………

After Brewer blew the whistle at the end of the game, Real Madrid's players fell down on the turf of the Bernabeu Stadium one by one. They all looked regretful because they should have won, but They wasted too many chances, especially towards the end of the game.

Juan? Mata, this youth training youngster who was promoted to the first team by Yang Cheng this season, knelt on the grass, covering his face with his hands, knocking his head on the turf, his shoulders twitching violently, obviously crying.

The cruelty of football matches is that each match is an independent 90 minutes. In these 90 minutes, victory, loss, and draw cannot be changed. It is like an independent life. If you miss it, you will regret it and be upset again. It's too late.

Mata's final shot hit the far corner. It's hard to say whether it was right or wrong, but he didn't score. It was just a little bit missed. Everyone, including himself, would feel that he was wrong!

Many times, things in the world are like this, a slight difference can lead to a huge difference!

In addition to Mata, Negredo, who wasted two good scoring opportunities, also collapsed on the grass. Villa, Raul... none of them could speak, and just sat on the grass. Although they won't cry like young Mata, at least they feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Originally it should have been 3 points, but in the end it was suddenly turned into 1 point by the opponent. It was such a terrible feeling!

Yang Cheng slowly walked into the court and walked towards the court. The first person he passed was Arbeloa. He bent down and patted his thigh gently, signaling him not to sit down. Stand up and walk towards Xavi Alonso in front of you...

The live TV footage captured this scene. Everyone could clearly see that Yang Cheng walked past his players one by one and called them up one by one. Especially when he came to Mata, he was like a kind elder, patting him. face, saying words of comfort or encouragement that I don’t know.

Raoul got up from the ground without waiting for Yang Cheng to come over. He rubbed his nose with his left hand, took a deep breath, and calmed down. Then he started calling his teammates around him.

I saw the Real Madrid captain rubbing his nose vigorously, opening his hands towards Guti, who was the first to come over, hugging him tightly and patting him on the back. Saying something, Villa, Mata, Negredo, Cannavaro and others followed. Real Madrid's captain hugged them one by one, even the players who came over from the bench.

Finally, this group of players stood in the middle of the Bernabeu Stadium, lined up, holding hands. They all bowed to the fans in the stands on all sides to thank them for their support of the team in this game.

Madrid, which has not rained for nine months in a year, suddenly started drizzling. In the stands of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, many fans couldn't help but burst into tears. Because they haven't seen players thank them so solemnly for a long, long time, especially after experiencing such a game.

Against a weak team, with Real Madrid's strength, it is difficult to reflect the role of Raul and Guti, but in this kind of strong dialogue, the flags of these teams are undoubtedly needed to lead teammates and boost morale.

In today's Real Madrid, after Hierro left the team. The only ones who can hold up the banner of Real Madrid's spirit are Raul and Guti. Casillas is limited by his goalkeeper position and it is difficult to play such a role.

But when many young players from the youth training have performed well this season. Everyone is convinced that there will be players who will step forward and take over the banner from Raul.

In the past, they supported Sergio Ramos, but now it seems that he is getting further and further away from Real Madrid.

"I did almost nothing in this game. The fighting spirit of the players is the reason why we achieved this result. We should have won the game, but unfortunately, the referee's whistle saved Barcelona, ​​but, You won’t be so lucky next time!”

At the post-match press conference, when a reporter asked Yang Cheng for his evaluation of this game, he unceremoniously believed that his team performed better and deserved a victory.

"I once said that all Real Madrid fans will understand sooner or later why Raul, Guti and others are so important. Now they have seen through this game that they are the soul of the team, just like Marti. Nigeria is to Milan, Gerrard is to Liverpool, both are crucial."

The reporters at the scene could not refute that at least Raul and Guti performed very well.

"But when many players were interviewed after the game, they felt that you were the biggest contributor to the team!" A reporter from Marca stood up and said with a smile.

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I'm just talking. It's the players who play football, and they are the main contributors!"

"Mr. Yang Cheng, it's a pity that you failed to win this game. It rained after the game. Some people said that this was God crying for Real Madrid. What do you think?" Another reporter stood up.

Yang Cheng thought for a while, "It sounds very poetic, but I think those are Juanito's tears!"

After a pause, Yang Cheng added: "In this game, our skills were not as good as others, but we got back Juanito's spirit. We saw every player wearing a Real Madrid jersey on the court. They were all fighting like Juanito, but they failed to win in the end, which is a pity!”

Many reporters at the scene nodded secretly. It can be seen that in Yang Cheng's heart, the most fundamental spiritual pillar of Real Madrid is the Juanito spirit of never giving up, and then elegance, magnificence, and pursuit of beauty. Football style.

"Real Madrid has seen a number of outstanding young players emerge this season, including Juan Mata, David Silva, Negredo and other outstanding rookies. Many of them say that Mata is the Messi of Real Madrid. Silva is Real Madrid's Iniesta, what do you think?"

Yang Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "They are Mata and Silva, Messi and Iniesta are next door!"

The reporters at the scene immediately laughed.

"My responsibility is to help them point the way, guide them on how to improve themselves, and give them game training. We can see it. They have made great progress. I will continue to promote some young players in the future, because in our team There are many outstanding young players inside who can contribute to the team.”

"What about Sergio Ramos?" a reporter stood up and asked, "When the reporter met him outside the stadium just now. When asked about the rumors about him with Milan and Chelsea, he said I’m not against leaving Real Madrid, what do you think?”

Yang Cheng gave a stiff smile. I feel a little disappointed in my heart and feel that this kid is too ignorant, but I pretend not to care, "I don't mind if he leaves Real Madrid. Because without him, Real Madrid will still be Real Madrid!"

The group of reporters below were immediately in an uproar. Is Yang Cheng giving the green light to Ramos' transfer?

If so, it will undoubtedly trigger a winter break transfer. At least many outside teams are already coveting the Spanish defender. Once Real Madrid lets go, it will definitely be a bloody battle.

Yang Cheng had no choice. Other players have said that they are not opposed to leaving Real Madrid. Can he say that we must keep him because he is very important to us?

Doesn’t this mean that you are devaluing yourself? And further fueling Ramos' temper?

For this kid, Yang Cheng can be regarded as loving and hating him. I cherish his talent, but hate his style and temper.

To be honest, Yang Cheng felt in his previous life that after Ramos joined Real Madrid, his progress was really very small, far from meeting people's expectations of him. This was related to the fact that he did not meet famous teachers in those years at Real Madrid, and also because he It has something to do with having a big temper.

To know. In his five years at Real Madrid, he broke Hierro's record of red cards in Real Madrid's 14 years. He received 10 red cards in 175 games, while Hierro spent 439 games. This shows what?

Yang Cheng's original idea was to let Ramos learn more and accumulate experience next to seniors like Thuram and Cannavaro, but now it seems that this kid seems to be getting further and further away from Yang Cheng's expectations, and continues to If this continues, he will be further and further away from Real Madrid's main position, and Yang Cheng will also re-evaluate his moldability.

After playing against Barcelona, ​​media all over the world were full of praise for Real Madrid's performance in this game, especially Yang Cheng's insistence on attacking in key battles. They believed that this reflected the strength and strength of a strong player. arrogant.

However, some relatively neutral media feel that Real Madrid's performance in the Derby of the Century cannot be said to have shortened the gap with Barcelona. It can only be said that this team's combat ability at critical moments, but in the entire league, it is a test for a team What matters is the overall combat effectiveness. In this regard, Real Madrid is still far inferior to Barcelona.

In the midweek Copa del Rey match against the third-division team Ecija, a full substitute lineup was arranged to play. With Negredo's brace, Real Madrid defeated Ecija 2:1 away and won the King's Cup. The good start also provides favorable conditions for advancing to the next round.

In the 8th round of the league, Real Madrid played away against Tarragona. First in the 29th minute, the opponent's midfielder Bouades scored a goal by taking advantage of Real Madrid's defensive mistakes and maintained the 1:0 lead until the end of the half.

But in the second half, Yang Cheng continued to trust the first starter, including Marcelo, who performed very poorly, but asked Cannavaro and Helguera, the two central defenders, to help the Brazilian more, especially in Marcelo The gap left by Luo's advance to participate in the attack must be filled in time. At the same time, David Silvado on the left must be moved to the center to provide space for Marcelo's advance.

This adjustment immediately brought Real Madrid's offense to life in the second half.

First, Silva made a wonderful pass from the front of the penalty area to Villa and equalized the score. Then Marcelo dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough and passed the ball. Raul hit a header from the center to reverse the score. Then Helguera received the ball. Beckham's corner kick led to another victory, and finally Beckham scored from a direct free kick, setting the score for Real Madrid at 1:4!

Three days later, Real Madrid faced Steaua Bucharest at home. The team's unstable performance was once again exposed. The resolutely defensive Steaua Bucharest almost tied Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium. Even after Guti came on the court, Real Madrid still failed to create a goal. In the end, Beckham's free kick caused an own goal by the opponent's central defender. Real Madrid won 1:0, which was a very hard win.

On November 5, Real Madrid sat at the Bernabeu Stadium. Villa opened the scoring for Real Madrid, but in the 82nd minute of the second half, he was equalized by Celta Vigo midfielder Larena, and ended up with a 1:1 draw.

Fortunately, Barcelona tied with Deportivo La Coruña 1:1 away, and Valencia tied Espanyol 1:1 away. The points gap between the three teams remained unchanged.

In mid-week, Real Madrid, who continued to play with an all-substitute lineup, beat Ecija 5:0 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and advanced to the last 16 of the Copa del Rey with a total score of 7:1.

On November 12, Real Madrid challenged Osasuna away from home. In this game, Villa was in an almost crazy state, performing a hat trick in the 12th, 26th, and 44th minutes, and then scored in the 84th minute. He scored his fourth goal of the game and scored four goals, helping the team defeat Osasuna 4:1 away from home.

These four goals also made Villa become the first scorer in La Liga, making the Spanish striker popular again.

But in this game, Raul, David Silva, Beckham and others were also in excellent form. Osasuna's poor defense gave Real Madrid too much space for their offense. Making them once again become another victim of Real Madrid's offensive football.

After playing this game, Real Madrid got a rare week's rest. Yang Cheng gave the players a day off, but the next day, Yang Cheng caused a bloody storm in Valdebebas. ! .
