Chapter 1141 Isco

The long season lasts for ten months, and there are countless challenges and crises in the middle.

For any team, various problems will inevitably arise during the long ten-month journey.

It may be the ups and downs of the player's state, or the injury of an important player, or some players are in a mood, and it is more likely that a certain player has been poached by the outside world and no longer concentrates.

It is precisely because there are various problems that need to be solved by the head coach, so some people will say that today's head coach is a very comprehensive profession, not only football professional ability, but also management ability , communication skills, and even master negotiation and psychology.

All in all, football has always been a very, very complicated sport.

Real Madrid have encountered some troubles recently, not major problems, but enough headaches.

One is that Marcelo was injured. He was injured in the game against Atletico Madrid. At first he thought it was not a big problem, but then the situation did not improve. After a detailed diagnosis, it is estimated that he will have to rest for a while.

But this is not a big problem, because Azpilicueta can play this position, although he is more defensive than offensive.

Another one is renewal.

The teenager Jesse has shined this season, and now there are even faint signs of being a rotation player, which also makes Hazard more diligent, otherwise he may not be able to hold down the teenager.

There is no problem with Hesse's potential and talent. In addition, he has followed Yang Yang for more training and physical training in the past two or three years. His physical fitness has improved greatly and he has laid a very solid foundation. In addition, he has performed well recently. The more he plays, the more confident he becomes, and the more confident he plays, the better he plays.

In the game against Getafe, Ancelotti even let him start instead of Hazard, which shows that this kid is a bit overwhelmed.

Although Hesse is a little youthful and frivolous, there is still Yang Yang on top of his head. Even now that he is famous, he still obediently returns home from morning to night every day to practice with Yang Yang.

He is not convinced by anyone, but he is submissive to Yang Yang, and Yang Yang takes good care of him no matter in the locker room or on the field, such as the kick he gave him against Getafe assists.

This also seems to confirm the fact that Hesse is Yang Yang's apprentice.

As the saying goes, there are people at the top who are good at handling things, and with Yang Yang as a big tree covering him, Jesse's status in Real Madrid will naturally rise.

The offensive lineup in the frontcourt already has a lot of competition. Even Robben was forced to the bench by Di Maria. If Jesse emerges suddenly, the competition will be even more fierce. Morata will undoubtedly become the most tragic person.

Also a young player, Morata is tall and strong, has a header advantage, and was originally expected to partner with Yang Yang, but now it seems that Suarez and Jesse obviously have a better chance, because Real Madrid has started to penetrate more on the ground.

But Morata's problem is not a big problem, and Jesse's contract extension will not be a problem. The real problem is Isco.

...

The Malaga native came to Real Madrid with the halo of the European golden boy. He helped Malaga play very well in the Champions League and La Liga the previous season, and he shined brilliantly. After coming to Real Madrid, he also quickly showed great Strong personal ability, and even showed signs of grabbing the main position as soon as he came.

At the beginning of the season, everyone felt that Real Madrid's 30 million euros was to buy a midfield core for the next ten years, and it was also the world's top midfield core.

But time has passed, and after the stunning early season, Isco soon gradually dimmed.

David Silva, who was originally pressed by him on the bench, quickly regained his main position, coupled with a solid and unshakable Modric, which immediately made Isco completely squeezed out of the starting lineup.

Especially recently, whether facing Atletico Madrid, or the subsequent Getafe and Villarreal, Isco was on the bench, but he didn't get a chance to play, which made the Malaga people deeply regret.

After all, he is just a 21-year-old young guy, he must have a big gap in his situation, and he doesn't know how to regulate himself, making him look a little lonely no matter in the locker room or on the training ground .

Coupled with his introverted personality, he is not good at communicating and dealing with people, which makes him look a bit out of place in the locker room, but everyone can see his problems and knots, but no one can stand up.

At present, the two captains of Real Madrid, Iker Casillas and Raul have similar personalities. They both belong to the kind of leaders who silently use their words and deeds to lead the team. They rarely take the initiative to communicate with teammates. , but carelessly, he basically doesn't take care of such small details.

And the team's hot battle is in full swing recently, and the Champions League will start again soon. Ancelotti and the coaching staff are also very busy.

You know, starting from the beginning of January during the winter break, Real Madrid has been playing double matches for a week. They are so busy that they don't even have time to stop and take a breath, let alone worry about the emotions of the players.

During a lunch break, when everyone else was playing games and watching TV in the recreation room, Isco sat alone in front of the bar in the tea room with a desolate expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yang Yang, who was about to go back to his room to sleep, suddenly had a heartbeat and walked over.

…………

…………

"boiling water?"

Yang Yang came to Isco with a thermos, looked at the already empty water glass in his hand, and asked.

When Isco saw that it was Yang Yang, he nodded politely, "Thank you."

He poured half a glass of water for him, but Yang Yang didn't leave, but stood opposite him, drinking the water and watching him at the same time.

In Yang Yang's superficial understanding, Isco should belong to the kind of player with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

Real Madrid's current team is full of superstars, but when it comes to ball control and footwork, Isco puts it second. I'm afraid no one dares to recognize the number one, even Hazard and Marcelo.

Yes, that left back Marcelo, this guy's footwork is seriously underestimated, Yang Yang even thought, if he played left wing back then, he would probably be a world-class left winger.

Isco's advantage is his aura. Anyone who watches him play football will find it pleasing to the eye, very spiritual, and very likable. He is very good at dribbling and dribbling, and he is even better at getting rid of. These are his specialties .

But the shortcomings are also obvious, the first is the sticky ball.

In the modern football tactical system, sticking the ball is a very serious problem, because sticking the ball represents slow pace and low efficiency.

In addition, his speed is slow and his physical resistance is insufficient.

If you are a senior old fan, you must be familiar with a player, that is the Brazilian genius who once created a world football transfer fee record at Real Betis, and Denilson who became famous in the 1998 World Cup.

Denilson is a genius recognized all over the world. Otherwise, Real Betis would not be so stupid as to buy him to La Liga at the highest price in the world, but he still cannot adapt to European football. Why?

It is because of his slow speed.

The slow speed makes it useless no matter how strong his ability to surpass people and how good his footwork is, because he cannot create a threat.

Isco is like this now. He has technical advantages, but his speed is slow, and his physical resistance is not strong.

There is a problem here, that is, Zidane's speed is also slow, but why can he become a legend?

Because Zidane's physical resistance is very strong!

Regardless of speed or physical confrontation, Isco has no advantage.

Under normal circumstances, what Isco can do is to pass or get rid of the ball quickly and accurately. This is also a way to create a threat, but Isco's old problem of sticking the ball has restricted him.

Frankly speaking, Yang Yang likes Isco very much, his playing style, the agility he plays, and the joy he enjoys in football, which reminds him of the former Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho.

But Yang Yang had to admit that if he was the head coach of the team, he would probably win Isco too, because Real Madrid is not Malaga!

The giants have more choices, and the opponents and challenges they face are more difficult, so the giants have higher requirements for the players. Malaga can let Isco play the core, even in Pellegrini's In tactics, Isco is like a free man who is free from the team's overall tactics and can play as he pleases.

But in Real Madrid, this is simply impossible!

Not only because of the gathering of superstars in the Real Madrid team, but also because the opponents Real Madrid faces are stronger.

...

"Have you ever thought about changing yourself?" Yang Yang suddenly broke the silence.

Isco on the opposite side of the bar raised his head, staring at him with a blank look.

"I played a few games with you, and I also read a report about you in Malaga. I remember that the coach Manuel Pellegrini asked you to stick to the ball less and reduce some unnecessary mistakes, but you Rejected, what you said at the time left a deep impression on me."

"I like to try new things in the game, improvise, I don't like to grab the ball, I'm tired of running off the ball to get rid of the marker, I like to pass people, not afraid of being interrupted, even when I am training with the national team, even if it is Xavi, I still want the ball, that's my style, street football style."

Yang Yang looked at Isco with a smile, as if asking, am I right?

Isco was a little flattered. Yang Yang had read his reports and even remembered his name. He was not surprised at all, but Yang Yang remembered what he had said, which surprised him.

"Don't guess my mind." Yang Yang shook his head with a wry smile, "I simply agree with what you said, just like what many people said, I am not very talented in playing football, and I don't have that kind of talent. , so I have always admired and liked players like you or Messi."

Isco was a little shy, shook his head and said: "I can't compare with Messi."

But in his heart, he was happy that Yang Yang put him and Messi together.

"No, I think you all belong to the kind of players who can bring freshness and creativity to dull games, because football now emphasizes too much on efficiency and stability, which makes people feel that it has become very mechanical."
