Six Hundred and Seventy-Four It’s All My Fault!

674 It's all my fault!

With a uniform rhythm, the Almeria team anthem rang out at the Juan Royas Stadium. While the fans sang the team anthem loudly in the stands, their hands clapped neatly, making the whole team happy. The first team song became very upbeat. m

Almeria's team song is actually not very good. It is a typical Spanish music melody, soft and not suitable for football, but in the chorus of fans and the bursts of applause, it gives people a kind of power. One can feel the passion of the fans of this team.

They were founded in 1989. It was only in 2001 that the Almeria Sports Club and the Almeria Football Club merged to form the current professional team. They participated in La Liga for the first time in history this year. They even won the La Liga. The youngest team in the team is only 6 years old.

But because of this, they have shown impressive qualities in many games. In fact, as early as the first round, at the Bernabeu Stadium, Almeria posed a huge threat to Real Madrid. Now at their home court, the youngest team is naturally more unwilling to admit defeat.

For this kind of team, home attendance is everything, so in order to please their home fans, they will go crazy and play desperately at home. If they don't do this, no one will come to watch the game, and there will be no income. , just can't pay wages, just... In short, home court is everything!

From a neutral standpoint, Yang Cheng would sympathize with small clubs like Almeria, because their situation is indeed too miserable. They are sandwiched under giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and between Valencia, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla. At the foot of the second group like Leah and Villarreal, this makes their situation very difficult, and even many teams cannot pay wages.

But from the standpoint of Real Madrid's head coach, Yang Cheng must defeat them!

As time jumped to 85 minutes, the score was still only 1:0. According to international practice, the home team is in front and the visiting team is in behind.

This situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Real Madrid.

"Thiago!" Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and shouted towards Thiago Silva.

The Brazilian central defender was slightly stunned and immediately looked over. He was worried that the head coach would blame the team for conceding the ball. After all, he was in a higher position at that time and failed to fill Marcelo's position in time, which led to the conceding of the ball. .

"Go up and play forward!" Yang Cheng pointed to the frontcourt and shouted.

He didn't even worry about Almeria's head coach Emery watching from a distance, not worried at all that he heard.

This sentence not only shocked Emery;

Even Paul Bayer and Benitez found it incredible.

"Hey, Yang Cheng, he's a central defender!" Paul Bayer thought he had lost his mind.

Yang Cheng turned his head, looked at his assistant, and nodded word by word, "I know he is a central defender, but he has played forward, winger, full midfielder, defensive midfielder, and central defender. He can do it!"

Paul Bayer was stunned by the roar. Yang Cheng turned his head and shouted at Thiago Silva: "Thiago, what are you still hesitating about? Come up here, play forward and header!" He He patted his head hard and shouted.

Thiago Silva didn't hesitate, turned around and rushed forward.

"Javier!" Yang Cheng called to Mascherano, "Be careful behind you, only Pepe is left!"

The Argentinian had been listening to the coach's shouts, knowing that the situation was urgent, and nodded in agreement.

"Marcelo, come up and attack!" Yang Cheng shouted again.

"Make more crosses and look for Thiago Silva!"

Listening to the head coach's cry, everyone knew that he was going to make a last ditch effort.

There are only a few minutes left. If we don’t work hard now, when will we wait?

…………

…………

Thiago Silva hasn't played as a forward for a long, long time!

Some people say that all Brazilian players start playing as forwards. This is not entirely true, but most of them are like this, because offense is the nature of Brazilians. In Brazil, almost no one wants to be a defensive player. Think about attacking.

From a height perspective, Thiago Silva, who is 1.83 meters tall, does not have many advantages. However, after coming to Real Madrid, with the adjustment of his diet and the strengthening of training, he is faster and has stronger physical fitness. In particular, the strength of his muscles has been greatly improved, making him more and more comprehensive.

A very important reason why Yang Cheng's training team is excellent is its pertinence.

It does not offer a unified menu like some other teams, but is targeted, based on each player's physical fitness, through long-term testing and statistics, and tailor-made for you based on your technical characteristics. Diet and some targeted training.

For example, Kaká, although the Brazilian is in the process of transformation, his speed, explosive power and dribbling accuracy have actually returned to their peak, and the muscle strength of his legs is higher than when he was in Milan, which makes him even more uncomfortable. He is easily injured, and his knee injury is almost healed.

As a result, Kaka's training did not affect his agility and ball feel while strengthening his muscle strength.

The same goes for Thiago Silva. His physical confrontation has improved and his strength has been strengthened, but his speed and flexibility have not declined. This makes him feel anytime and anywhere that he is full of energy on the court. strength.

Thiago Silva has always been very offensive. He often plays long passes in games and even sometimes sticks the ball. He has been criticized many times by Yang Cheng, asking him to stop sticking the ball. Cannavaro and others often taught him some experiences.

To be honest, Thiago Silva is no stranger to forwards because he often studies forwards, especially forwards like Drogba. Yang Cheng once told him that he should challenge whatever his weakest point is. Only then can he become stronger, so he is always studying the characteristics and playing methods of high center forwards such as Drogba, Llorente, Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet.

Diligence is a major reason for his progress!

Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the forward position, he saw Villa beside him retreating appropriately, which meant giving him the front line, and then he pushed against the Almeria defense line. The front.

"Show me that Brazilian centre-back!"

He could hear Almeria's head coach Emery shouting nervously on the sidelines. Time was running out. He was afraid that the victory he had won would be in vain, so he became nervous.

Then, I saw Carlos Garcia, well, this central defender with the same name as the Spanish master matador stared at him with evil intentions. This is also a typical Spanish central defender. He is not tall. How many? Thiago Silva doesn't feel it visually, but he shouldn't be taller than him.

There are not many high school defenders in Spain. After all, being tall means slow turning. There are very few players who are tall and flexible in turning. Even if you look at the entire European continent, how many can you find?

It is difficult for a clumsy central defender to gain a foothold in La Liga, so Carlos Garcia is popular in La Liga.

But he didn't expect that this central defender, who was about the same height as him, would stifle Thiago Silva in the first shot.

When Ramos crossed the ball from the right, Carlos Garcia got ahead of Thiago Silva and headed the ball out of the penalty area. It turned into a beautiful header clearance and got the goal. There was a burst of cheers from the Almeria fans in the stands.

But the ball soon fell to Real Madrid's feet again. Marcelo broke through from the left and made a pass. Thiago Silva got stuck this time, but under the interference of Carlos Garcia, The header went wide.

Immediately afterwards, Xabi Alonso made a long pass. After Thiago Silva took the ball with his back, he stopped, but he wanted to dribble past, but was caught by the opponent and lost the ball. Got it!

Although after losing the ball, Thiago Silva immediately launched a counterattack and quickly forced the ball back to Real Madrid's feet, but in the end he still failed to threaten.

As time passed, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Real Madrid.

"Don't always think about scoring goals yourself. This is not a stage, this is a battlefield!" Yang Cheng shouted angrily from the sidelines, "Use your brain more!"

Thiago Silva is afraid of Yang Cheng, not only because Yang Cheng brought him to Real Madrid from Brazil, but also because Yang Cheng gave him a brighter career again. He regards Yang Cheng as his benefactor. , although he has never told anyone because he has never been a person who is good at words, but he understands in his heart.

So Thiago Silva is very afraid of his boss, afraid that he will be unhappy, afraid that he will be angry.

After being yelled at by Yang Cheng, Thiago Silva didn't dare to mess around anymore. He noticed that as soon as Real Madrid got the ball and launched an attack, Villa and Kaká were ambushing around the penalty area. They were waiting. For opportunities, Guti is more in the ribs, while Mata, Marcelo and Ramos are all creating opportunities on the wing.

"what do I do?"

Thiago Silva was thinking anxiously.

He is not a real center forward, he is just a central defender. He is not like Negredo, who cooperates well with Villa, Kaká and others, and has a tacit understanding. He is not like Negredo, who can always Anywhere knows how to find opportunities in areas with holes in the opponent's defense.

The central defender's duty is to destroy. Even if he dribbles the ball and comes in, there will be very little or even no opportunity for him to display the characteristics of a central defender. More often, he can play as a defensive midfielder, but it is difficult for him to play as a central defender all at once. Become a center forward.

"He's at a loss!" Benitez said on the sidelines.

Yang Cheng also nodded. He was also aware of the problem, but he quickly walked to the sidelines, made a gesture to the players, and then asked the players to convey it to Thiago Silva. This time he did not Use shouting because it's confidential.

"The boss said, you look for the front point, and if you have a chance, you can attack the goal yourself. If you don't have a chance, you can cross to the middle point, just like you do in a corner kick, remember?" Kaká walked over and headed towards Thiago Schier. Wa explained.

"but……"

"Don't worry, the kickers from both sides will also come to you!" Kaká patted Thiago Silva on the shoulder, encouraged his compatriot, turned around and left.

In the next wave of attacks, Real Madrid launched another attack from the left. After Marcelo and Mata cooperated, they failed to find an opportunity on the wing. They knocked back to Marcelo, who passed the ball across the ribs to Gu. Di.

Guti ran over from the middle. As soon as he got the ball, he didn't adjust and directly stepped towards the ball. He lifted the ball high with his left foot and flew towards the front of the goal post.

Originally, Almeria's defense tended to lean towards Real Madrid's left wing. As soon as they saw the ball passed to the forward point, they immediately rushed over. Thiago Silva blocked the forward point position. Los Garcia blocked him behind him. When he saw Guti's quick and urgent pass, he very calmly took a step forward and then jumped high.

The ball rubbed his head, turned in one direction, passed the Almeria defender behind him, and landed at the back point.

The whole speed is very fast, because Guti's pass is very fast, with almost no arc, so Thiago Silva's ferry is also very fast, and Kaka inserted behind him is faster. , facing the incoming ball, without even the slightest adjustment, diving directly to the top.

"allllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

The excited Real Madrid players rushed towards Almeria's goal amid the shouts of the on-site commentator.

Kaka was the first to rush into the goal, grabbed the ball and ran out. He quickly ran towards the midfield and placed the ball at the kick-off point in the center circle, indicating that the game should start quickly. We will not celebrate!

Villa, Thiago Silva, Guti and others also returned to their positions immediately, waiting for Almeria's kick-off.

"Well done, Real Madrid, with high morale!" the on-site commentators praised.

But unfortunately, in the last 2 minutes of stoppage time, although Real Madrid launched a violent bombardment of Almeria's goal, they never scored again. In the end, they could only bring it back from the away game 1:1. There was a draw.

Therefore, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, every Real Madrid player looked very disappointed, because they knew that Barcelona defeated their opponent 1:0. Although they were tied, the lead was back to 12 points.

"Real Madrid is really good. Although they were a little careless at the beginning and were successfully attacked by Almeria, they soon paid careful attention to it. However, Almeria is definitely not the kind of soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others."

"Look at how many teams have failed at home in Almeria this season, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Osasuna, Deportivo and Espanyol. Valencia also almost fell. This kind of The team always tries its best at its home court, and no one dares to say that they are sure of winning!"

"A draw, even though they lost 2 points, is not a bad thing for Real Madrid. It depends on how Yang Cheng coordinates this relationship and stabilizes the players' emotions."

Firstly, this newly promoted team is not familiar with it, and secondly, it attaches great importance to the home court, which makes it easy for the newly promoted team to create a dark horse miracle. Almeria's home record this season can almost enter the UEFA Cup qualifying area, but its away record ranks in the middle and lower reaches. This is the reason why he is currently not ranked high, but no one can underestimate their combat effectiveness at home.

…………

…………

Yang Cheng opened the door to the locker room and walked in. He found that all the players looked very low in morale.

It finally expanded to 14 points, and was suddenly chased back to 12 points. All this seemed to be the trajectory of Real Madrid's reversal of Barcelona last season. At that time, the game when Real Madrid sounded the horn was Barcelona tied and Real Madrid won.

This will definitely make many people feel a little confused. Will we collapse like Barcelona?

People's hearts are separated from each other, and no one knows what is going on in the minds of teammates and coaches. Even if Real Madrid has done a good job in communicating, Yang Cheng knows very well that now he must let them understand why they lost?

"We are too careless!" He said bluntly, "I told you more than once before the game that Almeria's home record is very good, but have you paid attention to it? Have you ever thought about this? Will the game be difficult?"

"The consecutive wins have made you a little confused about the situation. This is a lesson. I will teach you a lesson. In La Liga and the professional league, no team is a soft persimmon that can be bullied casually. I will also teach you a lesson. If you don't Respect your opponents, you will be the ones who suffer in the end!"

"I will not hold anyone accountable, and no one will be blamed for this. This game is not the responsibility of one person, but of everyone, including me, but I very much hope that after you go back, you can think about it carefully. Think, why is this game a draw?”

"If you understand, then this game will not be the end of the world for us, on the contrary, it will give us motivation to take off again; but if you can't understand... I will be very disappointed with you. !”

After saying that, Yang Cheng turned around and left the locker room.

Paul Bayer came up and explained that the team would have a day off tomorrow.

Because there is a one-week gap between the 22nd and 23rd rounds of the league, Yang Cheng hopes to use this period of time to adjust the players' mentality and status. This will be a busy and intensive schedule immediately after the winter break. For Real Madrid, it is a rare buffer time.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng took the responsibility for the draw on himself. He said, "I am proud of the performance of my players. They were not wrong. It was my carelessness that caused our entire game." The game was passive, but I think the points lost in this game was a valuable lesson for us.”

"It will make me and my players understand one thing again. In any game in La Liga, we may lose and drop points. This will make us pay more attention to every game!"

But Yang Cheng could already predict that after Real Madrid tied, Barcelona won again. This will definitely make the media hype. After all, there were so many calls for early victory before, and now the gap between the two teams has shortened. The media will get wind of it.

They don't care who wins the championship or who has the last laugh. For them, the most important thing is to be able to find publicity and hype gimmicks to boost their sales, that is perfection.
