Chapter 1237 Force Ancelotti
Atletico Madrid equalized 2-2, and public opinion criticized Real Madrid after the game.
Aspen believes that Real Madrid's trip to the Middle East made the team look very tired. This can be seen from the running distance of the players. The moving distance is much less than that of the opponent, and this situation was difficult to see before.
Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of AS News, said in a column that since Real Madrid's two-game losing streak in the early part of the season, with Yang Yang's comeback, they soon ushered in a wave of peaks and played a streak of 22 consecutive victories. Amazing record, but after the Club World Cup, this team entered a downward spiral, as if it changed overnight.
"Dubai lost 2-4 to AC Milan in the warm-up match. Ancelotti said that the team did not try their best, especially many of the main players did not play. Then they lost 1-2 to Valencia in La Liga away. Tee still uses this reason as an excuse, but now, in the away game of 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid has sent the main force, but the performance is still sluggish."
Alfredo said that if it weren't for Yang Yang's personal performance, it would be difficult for Real Madrid to get out of the Calderon Stadium.
In addition, Aspen also published a special report, using data to point out the problems Real Madrid is currently facing.
In the away game against Valencia, Real Madrid's entire team ran only 98 kilometers, creating the game with the least amount of running distance this season, while the opponent Valencia's entire team ran 100 kilometers. Zero seven kilometers, nine kilometers more than Real Madrid, that is to say, one more person.
Facing Atletico Madrid in this game, Real Madrid's running distance is still not as good as their opponents. This makes everyone realize that the problem Real Madrid is facing now is the physical fitness and consumption of the players.
During Modric's injury, David Silva and Toni Kroos became very important, but whether it is playing Valencia or Atletico Madrid, these two players are not in ideal form, especially Toni. Cross.
Aspen revealed that after playing Atletico Madrid, Toni Kroos confessed in an interview that his physical fitness was indeed a problem, and the main reason was that he did not get a good rest throughout the summer , After coming to Real Madrid, he started a continuous multi-line battle.
Unlike the Bundesliga, strictly speaking, La Liga does not have a long winter break, and the Christmas holiday is only one week.
In addition to Toni Kroos, the situation of James Rodriguez and Di Maria is similar. Almost all international players who participated in the World Cup, after the winter break, their status has begun to change very obviously.
This is definitely not accidental, but because the winter break interrupted their game rhythm, which in turn triggered a potential physical crisis, which led to the various problems that Real Madrid is currently experiencing.
In the game against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid ran less distance than their opponents, but made more passing and receiving errors than their opponents, which is terrible.
"Ancelotti should find a solution to the problem as soon as possible!"
...
On the second day after playing the Atletico Madrid game, Yang Yang was rarely interviewed by media reporters in Valdebebas.
During the interview, Yang Yang publicly expressed his support for coach Ancelotti, and at the same time clarified the fighting spirit and confidence in the Real Madrid locker room, "We did encounter some problems, but who didn't? All of us have confidence Overcome all kinds of difficulties!"
Yang Yang also said that when the team encounters various problems, it is unfair to blame them on anyone. All of us are responsible, including me, but the most important thing for us now is not to shirk responsibility, nor to take responsibility. , but to solve these problems and get back on track as soon as possible.
As for how the team can get back on track, Yang Yang believes that Real Madrid should trust the young substitute players more, increase the rotation, and help the team through this difficult trough through a greater rotation.
Yang Yang was interviewed by the media. This was arranged by the club and agreed by the coaching staff. Even his remarks were made in front of Valdano, Zidane and Anche at the team's high-level internal meeting in the afternoon. Lottie's face was raised.
He believes that De Bruyne, Isco, Illarramendi, Varane, these young players should get more opportunities.
In fact, Ancelotti is more cautious in treating young players, but he cannot be blamed.
Varane started the Copa del Rey game against Atletico Madrid, but he made many mistakes throughout the game, and even made a stoppage error. After being intercepted by French compatriot Griezmann, he formed a single-handedly. If it weren't for Navas' brave attack, It is impossible for Real Madrid to take away the 2-2 draw.
Yang Yang raised this point, but he believes that we should not give up eating because of choking, and we should not stop reusing and cultivating Varane because of his mistakes. The same goes for Vermaelen, Azpilicueta and Dani. Luo and other players are very capable, and they all deserve more opportunities.
"We are a whole. There are more than 20 people in the team. Each of them is a very good player. Each of them can bring contributions to the team. I think that as long as we give trust, they will perform better and better. "
And Yang Yang's exclusive interview was quickly spread by the media, aroused widespread discussion, and was recognized by many media and fans, who believed that Ancelotti's rotation really lacked some courage.
But there are also media hypes, thinking that Yang Yang is forcing Ancelotti.
As everyone knows, long before the press conference, Yang Yang said the same thing in a high-level meeting, and Ancelotti also said that he would pay attention to it.
…………
…………
On the afternoon of January 10th, the eighteenth round of La Liga.
Real Madrid sits at home against the Espanyol.
Yang Yang made the start on behalf of Real Madrid, and Chinese player Wu Lei, who switched from Ajax to Espanyol last summer, also made the start, playing the Chinese derby for the first time in La Liga.
In this game, Ancelotti also responded to Yang Yang's call and carried out a substantial rotation, and even arranged a midfield combination of Isco, Illia Lamendi and De Bruyne in the midfield.
Just ten minutes into the game, Real Madrid took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt. Suarez volleyed from the right side of the goal, breaking the Espanyol's goal and opening the scoring for Real Madrid.
In the 28th minute, Yang Yang took a direct free kick 25 meters away and broke the Spaniard's goal again.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, in the 76th minute, Isco sent a through pass, Azpilicueta made a pass from the left, and Vermaelen volleyed vigorously after stopping the ball and scored again.
In the end, Real Madrid beat the Spaniard 3-0, stopping the three-match winless trend.
After this battle, Real Madrid's substitute players received unanimous praise. The midfielder was very active, and the defense was also very solid. Yang Yang and Suarez each scored a goal on the forward line, and both of them have improved significantly.
…………
…………
Real Madrid stopped the decline, but good news came one after another.
First, on the day after the Spaniard was played, UEFA announced the 2014 Team of the Year.
The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Alaba, Ramos, Godin and Lahm, the midfielder is Toni Kroos, Di Maria and Modric, and the front trident is Yang Yang, Suarez and May West.
Real Madrid has a full six players selected, which can be said to have occupied half of the country and won a lot of applause.
However, the deficiencies of the team were also shown on the defense line. Only Ramos was shortlisted, and the left and right full-backs Carvajal and Marcelo were not selected, which is a bit surprising.
Not only was UEFA's best team not shortlisted, but even FIFA's World Professional Players Union's best team was also not shortlisted. This time it was goalkeeper Neuer, defense line Lahm, Thiago Silva , David Luiz and Ramos, Iniesta, Toni Kroos and Di Maria in the midfield, Yang Yang, Messi and Ronaldo in the frontcourt.
It can be seen that FIFA's best team has considered more factors for the World Cup.
Then, on January 12, at the awards ceremony in Zurich, Switzerland, the best men's football coach was given to the head coach of the German national team Loew. This is basically a consistent operation, because Loew led the team to win the World Cup champion.
The Puskas award for the best goal was given to James Rodriguez. He beat Yang Yang and Van Persie to win the award. This also made the Colombian players inexplicably excited. He chose to dedicate the goal to all Colombians people.
Miss World Football went to German midfielder Kessler, who is captain of the double-winning Wolfsburg women's team.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or was given to Yang Yang, and there was no suspense. Everyone even concluded early on that there could be no second candidate besides Yang Yang.
It is worth noting that although it has long been known that there is no hope of winning the award, whether it is Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Neymar, they all attended the awards ceremony in Zurich.
At the press conference on the afternoon of the awarding day, Messi already congratulated Yang Yang in advance. He said that Yang Yang has performed unparalleled no matter in the league or in the World Cup, and he deserves the award.
Yang Yang took over the Golden Globe Award from the presenter Henry. When he delivered his speech, he thanked all the voters, his teammates in the national team and the club, and the head coach. Finally, he specially thanked the future The wife Su Ye who was present.
"Having a husband who is a professional player is a very difficult thing. In these years, especially in recent years, after we had a child, she even gave up her beloved career and worked hard in order to allow me to focus on playing football. Behind me, silently supporting me, I think she is the one who deserves the Ballon d'Or."
Everyone at the scene basically felt the same way.
Many people see the dazzling side of the star, the beautiful and glamorous side of the star's wife and girlfriend, but it is often easy to ignore the sacrifice and dedication behind them.
Even now, Su Ye is still a Chinese actress that Hollywood is flocking to, but she is basically in a state of resignation, especially in the past year or so, she has stopped making movies and has turned to take care of her family wholeheartedly and children.
Yang Yang felt and was deeply moved by this sacrifice.
