Chapter 1021 Damn It, I Got Fooled!

Yang Yang is only 25 years old. He has played professional football for 1989 and has read many books on tactics. He even took the time to read the teaching materials for coaches trained by FIFA. He has mastered a certain amount of elementary theoretical knowledge, but compared with a professional head coach like Ancelotti, the gap is still very large.

But this does not mean that Yang Yang's feeling for the game is not as good as Ancelotti's. On the contrary, Yang Yang is more about feeling, knowing what is happening and not knowing why, but a professional head coach like Ancelotti can understand the reason.

For example, Yang Yang said that Real Madrid has a lot of people in the frontcourt.

It's an interesting phenomenon, especially in this game tonight.

Real Madrid used a four-two-three-one formation in this game, but this is just a very general statement for the convenience of ordinary fans. The positions of the players on the court are not fixed, but they are roughly distributed like this.

The four-two-three formation has many advantages. The offense and defense are more balanced. Compared with the four-four-two, the offense in the frontcourt is more varied. The double midfielder configuration also allows classic combinations like Albelda and Baraja, or Xavi Alonso and Mascherano.

Even in the past few years, many teams, including Barcelona and the Spanish national team, have been studying a no-front formation. This is a variant of 4231. Withdraw the front striker, and Fabregas is considered the most suitable candidate.

But in recent years, the four-three-three formation has gradually emerged.

This is a very cold formation, because it is not something that ordinary teams can control.

The reason lies in the prevalence of reverse-footed wingers.

As the name suggests, when the reverse-footed wingers on the left and right sides and the assisting full-backs who insert in the back all want to squeeze into the frontcourt, the front midfielder in the three position of the four-two-three formation restricts their space for movement.

At this time, a trade-off must be made, whether to play the attacking midfielder or the reverse footed winger?

Four-three-three is a set of offensive formations. The offensive changes are more abundant than four-two-three-one, and the defense is relatively weak. This leads to the fact that when we have strong personal ability players on the offensive, we can often get a wider free space in the frontcourt.

Whether it was the 433 when Mourinho coached Chelsea and Inter Milan, or the 433 when Rijkaard and Guardiola played in Barcelona, ​​they all had very good frontcourt attackers in the frontcourt.

It’s not that Real Madrid haven’t tried four-three-three, but Benitez has tried it. He is more inclined to four-two-three-one because he prefers balance.

Real Madrid's system took Benitez two years to build, especially with the classic double midfielder combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, it is too risky to change to 433. Therefore, Real Madrid this season is using 433 and 423 rounds.

In this Champions League final, Real Madrid used a four-two-three formation for the sake of safety.

In the face of Chelsea's unbreakable steel defense line, after entering the opponent's 30-meter area, there are defensive players everywhere, Real Madrid's offensive players in the frontcourt have been oppressed and restricted more than usual. Therefore, many problems that were not exposed on weekdays were all exposed in the first half of tonight.

This is what Yang Yang said, there are too many people in the frontcourt.

Yang Yang was just a feeling, but Ancelotti could understand what was going on.

So Ancelotti made an obvious change after Yang Yang finished his thoughts during the halftime break, that is, he brought Kakara back, and Xavi Alonso stepped forward to level with Kaka.

That's one way Real Madrid went from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3 in the game.

Not only that, Ancelotti and Zidane both affirmed Yang Yang's proposal and firmly called on the players to give up all chances and end the battle within 90 minutes.

"We don't play extra time, we don't shoot penalties!" Ancelotti shouted loudly.

…………

At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid actively launched an offensive.

This is obviously within Chelsea's expectations.

But what surprised the Blues was that just over a minute into the second half, Yang Yang suddenly disappeared from the left and appeared at the front of the penalty area on the right to meet Robben who was pulled to the right to get the ball.

As soon as he received the ball, Yang Yang turned around and wanted to dribble the ball into the penalty area, but he was flanked by Mikel and Ashley Cole at the same time, tripped to the outside of the penalty area, but Yang Yang took the first step to stab the ball into the penalty area.

Out of the principle of favorable offense, the referee did not call a foul this time.

Ibrahimovic blocked David Luiz with his body, turned around after stopping the ball, and volleyed with his left foot. It was beautiful in one go, but it was high!

The Swedish center spread his hands towards Yang Yang bitterly, obviously feeling very speechless about missing such a good opportunity.

It has always been Zlatan Ibrahimovic's long-cherished wish to score goals on a major stage. He hopes to wash off his hat of being soft in the big game, but judging from tonight's performance, he still has a long way to go.

However, Real Madrid's offensive will not be suspended because Ibrahimovic missed a good scoring opportunity. On the contrary, the results of this sudden attempt have given Real Madrid players hope.

Two minutes later, when Yang Yang retreated to the midfield to respond to a pass from Xavi Alonso, Robben quietly appeared on the left side of the front of Real Madrid's penalty area. At this time, Chelsea's central defender was pulled to the right side of the penalty spot by Ibrahimovic.

Coupled with the addition of Marcelo from the winger who pulled Bosingwa away, Real Madrid quickly formed a three-on-three on the left side of Chelsea's penalty area.

...

When Yang Yang got the ball, only Mikel was defending beside him.

One-on-one, Yang Yang faced Mikel, and he saw all the surrounding situations in his eyes.

Marcelo pinned down Bosingwa on the left, Ibrahimovic attracted David Luiz to the right of the penalty spot, and Robben suddenly ran along the front of the penalty area to the left to respond.

This is an opportunity.

Yang Yang made a decisive decision, started quickly, dribbled the ball and forced forward, and before he could shake off Mikel, he stabbed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Robben rushed over at an accelerated speed, stopped the ball before Cahill, turned his back to the attacking direction, gently flicked the ball sideways, and turned to the inside by himself, attracting Cahill's attention, making the England central defender think that Robben was going to turn around with the ball.

Yang Yang understood it. After throwing away Mikel at the fastest speed, he rushed directly to the penalty area. After receiving a cross pass from Robben, he took advantage of the opportunity to enter the penalty area, passed Cahill's side, and rushed into the left side of the small penalty area with the ball.

...

Cech's attention has always been on Yang Yang. He knows very well that Yang Yang is the core of Real Madrid's attack.

At first he thought that Yang Yang would pass the ball to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but when he saw Robben running over, he immediately realized that this was another cooperation between two wingers, just like the cooperation on the right.

The two hit the wall quickly and cooperated in a narrow range. Yang Yang dribbled past Chelsea's defense line at the fastest speed, showing the super personal ability of the two world-class wingers, while Cech blocked Yang Yang's shooting angle.

The Czech goalkeeper did not abandon the goal, but stood by the left post of the goal, closely watching Yang Yang's every move.

This is a contest between the world's top scorers and top goalkeepers.

As early as when Yang Yang played for Liverpool in the Premier League, Petr Cech had a lot of contests with Yang Yang, but this time he was obviously more focused than before and paid more attention to it, because Yang Yang was more terrifying and difficult than when he was in the Premier League.

When Yang Yang was catching up with the ball on the left side of the front of the small penalty area, Cech’s eyes were fixed on him. When he saw Yang Yang was catching up with the ball, his left foot wanted to hit the goal, and he reacted immediately. He moved his right foot toward the post, trying to block the shooting angle between himself and the left post of the goal.

But when he was moving, Yang Yang's left foot stood firm, and his right foot kicked out quickly.

From when he rushed to the front of the penalty area to when he hit the goal, all of this happened in an instant. Cech didn't even blink, but he still couldn't keep up with Yang Yang's movement frequency.

The Czech goalkeeper's only reaction was, "Damn it, you fell for it!"

The right-footed shot let the ball pass through Cech's crotch, and hit the goal behind Cech in a straight line.

The Czech goalkeeper couldn't stop it in time, so he turned helplessly and looked at the ball behind the goal line.

After Yang Yang completed the shooting action, he rushed out of the field without slowing down.

Behind him, the whistle of the Portuguese referee Pedro's effective goal sounded suddenly, followed by the cheers of Real Madrid fans in the whole stadium, and everyone shouted Yang Yang's name.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"In the 48th minute, Real Madrid successfully equalized the score at the beginning of the second half."

"Ancelotti obviously adjusted the team's offensive tactics during the intermission. We can see that after the start of the second half, Real Madrid's two attacks were very different from the first half."

"Just now, Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right side, responded to Robben, and created Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot, but now Robben suddenly appeared on the left side, responded to Yang Yang, completed a beautiful collision with the wall, and assisted Yang Yang to hit the goal in the penalty area, equalizing the score for Real Madrid."

"One to one, the two sides have returned to the same starting line."

"Real Madrid started the second half very smoothly. Yang Yang is also very excited. The players of Real Madrid seem to be very encouraged. This makes us believe that as long as the current momentum is maintained and Real Madrid continues the situation in the first half, it is very hopeful that they will score again in the second half and reverse the score."

"Chelsea's defense is very tenacious and they have invested heavily, but they are still somewhat weak against Real Madrid."
