Six Hundred and Forty-Eight, only Fast Will Not Break

In typhoon weather, the Hong Kong Stadium was covered with drizzle, which somewhat affected the team's performance.

But in the end, it was Real Madrid. Whether it was from the overall combat, or from the technical and tactical levels, Real Madrid was more than one step ahead of Hong Kong United, which made Real Madrid easily control the game.

Since the warm-up match, Argentine teenager Aguero's performance has been highly praised. Whether he is playing as an attacking midfielder or a forward, he can always help the team attack well. Playing as an attacking midfielder, his explosive power makes his He is very threatening when attacking from behind, especially his calmness when getting the ball in the penalty area. He was praised by Marca as a natural killer.

With his outstanding performance in the warm-up match, Yang Cheng once again arranged for him to start the game in the last game of the Asian tour. Only this time, Villa, who had a slight foot injury, was hidden by Yang Chengxue, and Raul played. The team's lone forward.

Now Real Madrid's offense relies less on head-to-head attacks to destroy the opponent's defense, and more on running and pulling without the ball, and then penetrating through delicate passes to disintegrate the opponent's defense.

But one thing remains constant: speed!

Yang Cheng is now more and more aware of why modern football's offensive and defensive transitions continue to speed up. The reason is simple. Speed ​​can cover up too many things, including loopholes in one's own lineup and tactics.

Everyone knows that modern football defense and offense have become increasingly blurred concepts. It is difficult for you to analyze whether the same action is defense or offense. This is different from the previous clear-cut offense and defense, but one thing is It is very clear that a considerable part of the goals are caused by conceding the ball during the attack and then being turned into a counterattack.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the more times the ball is passed during the attack, the more people pass by, and the more intensive the coordination, the greater the chance of making a mistake, the greater the possibility of being counterattacked by the opponent, and the greater the chance of losing the ball. Maybe xìng has also increased significantly.

No set of tactics is perfect, and there will always be loopholes, such as Real Madrid's first goal.

Everyone knows the role of Raul and David Silva in Real Madrid's offensive end. The Hong Kong team also defended these two players, so when Raul got the ball, there were immediately double-teams around him.

In this case, if the speed is slow, either the ball will be directly surrounded and lost, or the attack will be frustrated and the ball will be passed back.

However, Raul did not stop the ball after taking it. Instead, he touched the ball and transferred it to the feet of David Salva. The latter was also double-teamed, but he also did not stick to the ball, but took advantage of the situation. The ball was pushed behind the Hong Kong United defense. Aguero stepped in and easily hit the target with a shot.

,!

The whole process happened very quickly. From Raul to David Silva to Aguero, it was all passed with one kick, without any sticky ball in the middle. Real Madrid's entire rhythm advanced from Xavi and Alonso's diagonal passes to the front. He suddenly picked up speed after the game and caught the Hong Kong United team off guard, watching helplessly as Real Madrid scored.

But if not fast enough, their double-team tactic works!

The same principle can be applied to any team.

In other words, on the premise of maintaining smooth passing and receiving, as long as you are fast enough, no one can stop you!

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be defeated!

Because the faster you are, the harder it is for your opponents to keep up with your pace and to catch your loopholes. In the end, they can only be passively beaten. This is the advantage of being fast!

On the other hand, if the opponent gets the ball, Real Madrid will adopt a delaying tactic of counterattacking on the spot to slow down the pace of the game as much as possible. Because if it is slower, I will have enough time to organize the defense, and I will have enough Time to find holes in your tactics and exploit them to destroy your offense.

Once your attack is frustrated and the ball falls to my feet, I will speed up immediately and complete the transition from slow to fast in the shortest possible time. Then I will take the initiative to play the passive role. I will do the calculations mentally but not intentionally. Through the time difference, I will catch you off guard. , and then scored a goal.

And a very important point is that slowness can allow players to relax their physical fitness after experiencing a period of fast speed and avoid premature consumption of physical fitness, which will lead to physical failure in the second half of the game. This is what Yang Cheng has always emphasized. Learn to take breaks during the game.

Real Madrid's game rhythm is fast and slow, using slow to support fast, and using fast to beat slow.

The purpose of slowness is to paralyze the opponent, to prevent the opponent's effective attack, to recharge one's energy, and to prepare for the next speed increase, while fastness is the result of slow preparation and speed increase, a sudden burst. .

Under this tactical concept, the amount of ball possession is not the most important, the most important thing is the control of the rhythm.

Yang Cheng's philosophy was vividly reflected between the first goal and the second goal.

After scoring the first goal, Real Madrid began to consciously slow down the rhythm after several offensive mistakes.

On a rainy day, the ball and the field were very slippery, so there were more mistakes. And as Real Madrid's first wave accelerated, Hong Kong United also tightened their nerves and organized their defense very well.

Despite slowing down the pace, Real Madrid still made several outstanding attacks, including Raul's volley after picking up the ball in the penalty area, which almost scored another goal for Real Madrid.

Until the first minute, Hong Kong United! The second big-footed long pass, Pepe headed the ball to clear the ball. Mascherano passed it to Marcelo on the left, who drove the ball straight in along the left. Real Madrid's offensive speed accelerated in an instant.

After Marcelo broke into Hong Kong United's hinterland from the left, he passed it diagonally to David Salva who cut inside. After getting the ball, the latter got rid of the defensive player and passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area with his left foot. Raul followed up and made a direct pass. Foot shot, another victory for Real Madrid.

Just a minute later, Beckham and Ramos on the right cooperated again. Beckham made a pass from the right, and Raul made a header from the penalty area to score another victory, 0:3.

After a quick attack, Real Madrid soon began to slow down the pace again.

Yang Cheng glanced at Benitez and Paul Bayer on the sidelines, and they were all satisfied with the team's improvement in rhythm control in this game, especially now that Real Madrid's offensive and defensive system is centered around It is built with double midfielders, so Xavi, Alonso and Mascherano have many contact points, especially the Spaniard, whose delivery speed is obviously faster and better.

"After all, so many warm-up matches were not in vain!" Yang Cheng was satisfied with the team's current situation.

In the recent period, he has been deliberately improving the problems that were exposed last season. After the physical reserve period, the team has gradually improved and its performance is getting better and better.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the Hong Kong team is too weak. The real test still has to wait until it faces a strong opponent.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng turned his head and looked at Kaká. The Brazilian player was already sitting on the bench, and it seemed that he should be given time to sneak up.

"How do you feel?" Yang Cheng walked back slowly and asked with a smile.

Kaka nodded, "You can play at any time!"

Yang Chengwei felt that his eyes were full of desire to fight, "I'll give you two minutes, come on in the second half!"

When Kaka heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat and went to warm up.

When Kaka walked onto the court, more than 10,000 players present immediately burst into the warmest cheers since the game started.

This is the biggest top star in today's football. Especially after joining Real Madrid, Kaka's reputation and influence have reached the level of the number one player in today's football. This makes Kaka the current member of the Real Madrid team. number one star.

Although in tactical meetings and training grounds, the players already have an understanding of Kaka's technical characteristics and playing habits, and Kaka also knows a lot about the football philosophy of Real Madrid managed by Yang Cheng, it can be understood that he is a It's another thing to actually play on the court, especially when watching his teammates invest in pre-season preparations, Kaka will inevitably feel anxious.

After coming on as a substitute, Kaka played as an attacking midfielder. Yang Cheng specially arranged Negredo in front of him to open the way for him. Mata on the left and Ozil on the right are both passers, and Granero is behind him. With De La Red, it is clear that the offensive tactics will be launched with Kaká as the core.

In just one minute of play, Mata sounded the alarm on the left. The Castilla youngster broke through from the left and knocked across the edge of the penalty area. Kaká got the ball and suddenly broke through with the ball. In the middle of the marking of two defensive players, he forced He entered the penalty area, kicked the goal, and hit the goal slightly higher, but this time he still had Kaka's style in forcing a breakthrough at high speed, and won the applause of the fans at the scene.

Just a minute later, Negredo's header from a cross from the left was saved by the goalkeeper. Kaka made a missed shot and hit the opponent's defender's leg, out of the baseline, and once again faced the goal. .

After that, Kaká received a pass from Granero at the front of the penalty area and hit a powerful shot, which was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. This made the Brazilian look a little depressed.

Facing the weak Hong Kong United team, especially when Real Madrid already led 3:02 in the first half, Kaká obviously also hopes to create a threat in the game, and at least let the ball see it. His strength.

But sometimes, the more anxious you are to perform, the lower your mood will be.

For a player of Kaka's level, there is no need to worry too much about how to integrate into the game. After all, his strength is there. What should really be worried about is how to use his strength. Yang Cheng is also constantly measuring this for him. Tailor-made tactics, especially the role in the team's offense.

But unfortunately, Kaka did not bring all of these into play in his debut. At least he was too anxious to prove his ideas, which caused him to repeatedly miss opportunities in the game.

Goals from Mata and Negredo in the second half helped Real Madrid defeat Hong Kong United 5-0. However, after Kaka came on as a substitute in the second half, he had no goals or assists, and his performance could only be described as average.

Regarding Kaka's performance, when Yang Cheng was interviewed after the game, he smiled and expressed that he was very satisfied.

"This is his first game after joining Real Madrid. We should see that he cooperates perfectly with the team's overall offense. We showed strong motivation and full offensive momentum, which took advantage of our speed, so Even though he didn’t score, I still scored 9 points for Kaká’s debut!”

"The rest, points? Of course, it's impossible to give enough, because he can still perform better!"

"But I think what Kaka needs most now is not goals and assists, which are all statistical things. In fact, he does not need to pay too much attention to them. He should take on more responsibilities, such as catching the ball, distributing the ball, and tracking back. He has a wide range of running and is very active in cooperating with his teammates, and has a strong desire to win, all of which allow him to better integrate into the team."

Kaka is also satisfied with his debut, "I have only trained for a long time and not participated in the game. This is my first appearance since I rested for such a long time. I think the performance is not bad, but I know I can perform better."

However, it is obvious that Aguero's outstanding performance, coupled with Raul's strength, have put a certain amount of pressure on Kaká, especially when the competitive atmosphere in the team is very fierce.

Aguero is the most outstanding player in Real Madrid's pre-season warm-up games, and he may not even be one of them. This makes this young Argentine kid already highly anticipated by the media. The hype material about Aguero choking on his voice for the new season has begun.

Raul is the captain of the team and one of the team's most outstanding players last season. In addition, he is the darling of Real Madrid fans, which makes many media feel that he deserves to get a chance to play. For this reason, they even began to Everyone was worried about Real Madrid's formation, and some media even added insult to injury and believed that Kaká, who was injured, should be used as a substitute.

This call became very strong after Real Madrid returned to Spain and lost to Sevilla in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup at Estadio Pizjuan. Because in this game, he started Kaka's performance was very average. In the first minute, Yang Cheng was replaced by Aguero.

Throughout the entire game, Real Madrid's performance had a certain advantage. Although it was an away game, Real Madrid still showed its own characteristics, maintained proactive tactics, and launched a fierce attack on the hinterland of Sevilla from the beginning. Ramos' Sevilla launched a defensive counterattack.

But despite creating several opportunities, Raul, who replaced Villa as the starting forward, was restricted by Sevilla. In addition, Sevilla's defense consciously separated the gap between Raul and Kaká. The response made Real Madrid's attack become louder than rain, and it looked very impressive, but in fact it really entered the hinterland of Sevilla, but it could not pose a threat.

This situation improved after Aguero came on the field. The Argentine played forward and Raul retreated. The Real Madrid captain did a better job than Kaka in connecting the team and supporting the team. Real Madrid's offense immediately came to life and played There were several threats, but Aguero was unable to seize the opportunity.

After the game, Le Monde, a newspaper close to Barcelona, ​​wrote an article ridiculing Real Madrid, believing that Real Madrid's game started in the first minute, and Kaka, who Yang Cheng introduced with a lot of money, almost became a stumbling block to the team's offense.

"Yang Cheng insists on playing double midfielders because he wants to actively utilize the offensive capabilities of the two wings. However, we have all seen in the game that Marcelo's left wing was completely beaten by Navas' right wing. Sieve, we can't see any help and coverage from Real Madrid's defense."

"If that's the case, then why do we insist on playing with two midfielders?"

"There is also Kaká. The injured Brazilian has been in two consecutive games, one as a substitute and one as a starter, but he has not shown convincing strength. As early as the summer, the media broke the news that Kaká will no longer be able to return. It’s at its peak, which makes us doubt Real Madrid’s signings. Are they going back to the old ways of the first phase of Galacticos?”

"In order to pile up stars and make way for Kaká, Raul played as a forward, and Aguero, who was in better shape, failed to get the starting lineup. These are old problems from the first phase of the Galaxy. As for Yang Cheng's overemphasis on offense and neglect of it Defense should be questioned, why not use Arbeloa, who has better defense, to freeze Navas, why use Marcelo?"

Faced with questions from outside reporters, Yang Cheng, who was leading the team to participate in the Carranza Cup, denied it.

"I want to say that our players' physical condition and condition are still adjusting. It is indeed a pity that we lost the first round of the Super Cup, but everyone can see that our players' physical condition is not very ideal. We played There are many warm-up matches, with wins and losses, which has a great impact on our preparations!”

"Of course, I'm not saying that warm-up matches are useless. On the contrary, I think warm-up matches play a decisive role in the team's preparation. According to the state and physical cycle established by our coaching staff, the team's best period is still not here."

In this regard, Daily Sports wrote an article with irony and sarcasm, "Perhaps, he is preparing to stage a desperate counterattack again last season!"

Marca and AS responded one after another, believing that some unscrupulous newspapers planned to use the theory to create pressure on Real Madrid.

"We believe that all Real Madrid fans will support Caesar, because facts have proven that his decision is correct, and we will not fall for a series of sensational statements made by newspapers trying to gain sales. We believe that the most A good Real Madrid will come in a short time."

Although Real Madrid is in poor condition, they still defeated Real Betis and Cadiz in the Carranza Cup and won the Carranza Cup. This can be regarded as an end to Real Madrid's warm-up match.

However, in the second round of the Super Cup, Real Madrid suffered a draw with Sevilla at home. Marcelo, who was entrusted with the important task by Yang Cheng, was completely reduced to a green leaf in front of Navas. Sevilla's The three counterattack goals were all launched from the left, and Real Madrid's left completely became a colander.

At this time, even reporters from Marca and Aspen fairly pointed out that Yang Cheng made a mistake in appointing Marcelo. Although the Brazilian had excellent offensive ability, his contribution on the defensive end was very small.

As for the offense, Villa, who returned from injury, contributed one pass and one shot. Aguero, David and Silva each scored one goal. However, Kaka, who came on as a substitute for 30 minutes in the second half, performed generally and failed to score. What you do.

What makes the Barcelona media feel even more outrageous is that compared with Real Madrid, which has too many warm-up matches and fluctuating results, Barcelona only has one warm-up match, but they have won a winning streak.

"Barcelona has won the La Liga preseason championship with five consecutive victories and is waiting to regain the La Liga title in the new season!"

Rijkaard also expressed confidence in an interview, "We have only one goal for the new season, which is to knock Real Madrid off the championship and replace it. I feel that this is the strongest Barcelona team since I coached Barcelona. We deserve to win everything!"

The battle between the Real Madrid gang and the Barcelona gang will undoubtedly make the upcoming La Liga more interesting! ! .
