Chapter 1311 Yang Yang's Countermeasure

Paris Saint-Germain is a rival, this is an undeniable fact!

Many people complain that this team is an upstart, but anyone who underestimates this team is irrational.

Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lavezzi, Lucas Moura, Pastore, Matuidi, Verratti, Thiago Motta, Thiago Schiller Watts, David Lewis...

Not to mention anything else, just put out this star lineup, and look at the entire European football world, it can be called the most luxurious and top-notch.

More importantly, Paris Saint-Germain's team formation strategy has always been more pragmatic. Although it also pursues superstar effects, it pays great attention to balance. Whether it is offensive players or defensive players, they are very willing to spend money. They will introduce Zlatan Ibrahim A frontcourt superstar like Movic can recruit top defenders like Thiago Silva and David Luiz.

In midfield, Verratti, Matuidi, Thiago Motta and Pastore are also outstanding.

This makes the entire Paris Saint-Germain lineup very complete. There are stars in the three lines. At least from the lineup, there are really not many flaws. It is really difficult to find points to target from them.

With its strong financial resources and excellent lineup, Paris Saint-Germain has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons.

Maybe many people don't realize how difficult it is to do this, that's because people generally set their sights too high and pay more attention to the giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich body.

That is to say, in the past three years, there are not many teams that have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. There are only four teams. Apart from Paris Saint-Germain, the remaining three are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

In other words, this team has been stable enough to keep pace with the three strongest giants teams in recent years, and has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years, which proves the stability of this team in terms of performance.

From 2012 to 2013, Paris Saint-Germain encountered Porto and Dynamo Kiev in the group stage. As a result, they won 5 wins and 1 loss in the group stage. The strong home team drew away with Barcelona, ​​and finally lost to Barcelona on away goals and was eliminated.

In the following season, Paris Saint-Germain encountered teams such as Benfica and Anderlecht. They had four wins, one draw and one loss in the group stage, and only lost in the last round. They beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at home and easily advanced to the quarter-finals. They lost 3-1 at home and 0-2 away in the quarter-finals. They still lost to Chelsea on goal difference.

Last season was even more tragic. They encountered Barcelona and Ajax in the group stage, and achieved four wins, one draw and one loss. Except for the 1-3 loss to Barcelona at the Nou Camp, Paris Saint-Germain performed well, and even played three games at home. Beat Barcelona by two.

In the subsequent knockout rounds of the top 16, both home and away games were 1-1. In the end, they defeated the Premier League champion Chelsea under the coach of Mourinho in a penalty shoot-out. In the end, they were beaten 1-5 by Barcelona in the two rounds of the quarter-finals.

From the results of the past three seasons, it is not difficult to see that Paris Saint-Germain is currently at the top eight level of the UEFA Champions League, and the performance of this team is very stable. The strength of the two teams is also between equals, and neither of them has much chance of winning.

A strong lineup, stable strength, neat three lines and no obvious flaws, such a team is not easy to play.

...

Zidane and the coaching staff have been studying Paris Saint-Germain during the national team matchday.

But in the end they came to the conclusion that there was no way. This team had no obvious flaws and loopholes, and could only rely on the head coach's targeted tactics and the players' on-site performance to defeat the enemy.

In other words, Paris Saint-Germain should be treated with the standards of top European teams.

Zidane also felt very helpless about this, looked at Yang Yang for help, and asked, "What can I do?"

On the desk in front of Yang Yang, there are a lot of materials and analysis reports. It can be seen that the coaching staff has really worked hard in the past week, studying Paris Saint-Germain, but they have nothing to do. How can there be a way?

"I took a look, and there really isn't any good solution." Yang Yang shrugged helplessly.

Zidane and others were also disappointed for a while. They were really looking forward to Yang Yang's creative ideas before, but now they are disappointed, but they can all understand. After all, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup is countless. Money and the wisdom of professionals built together.

To some extent, this lineup really has no obvious flaws.

"I think, since we can't find the opponent's obvious weakness, then we should stop thinking about it."

Zidane frowned, "You mean..."

"After all, it's an away game. We should first arrange a targeted defense, restrain the opponent's attack, maintain patience, and then slowly look for opportunities in the game." Yang Yang suggested.

To put it simply, Yang Yang’s tactical thinking is, since I haven’t been able to see your loopholes, then I’ll get up first, make sure that I won’t lose the ball easily and remain invincible, and then wait patiently for you to make mistakes.

"You know, Paris Saint-Germain's offense is also quite troublesome. In terms of centers, Ibrahimovic and Cavani are the top centers in the world, especially Ibrahimovic. I know him very well. He is definitely the strongest center in the world, and on the wings, they also have wingers like Lucas and Lavezzi, and in the midfield they have Motta and Verratti.”

When Yang Yang said this, he paused and sighed, "Even if we just want to contain their offense, it is not an easy task, especially since we still have a lot of injuries."

Paris Saint-Germain has another obvious advantage over Real Madrid, that is, their strength advantage in Ligue 1 is too great. This is the same as Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but Real Madrid is different. The competitive pressure in La Liga is very high. Big, second only to the Premier League.

Being pragmatic and stable is Yang Yang’s strategy.

…………

…………

Every national team match day is a frightening experience for a team like Real Madrid.

Fortunately, there were no further injuries this time.

But even so, the Real Madrid coaching staff still didn't dare to be careless at all.

When the international players returned from the national team one after another, Zidane officially announced that all players who had played two national team games would be absent from the weekend league, and all players who returned to South America to participate in the national team games would also be absent.

The purpose of this is very clear, which is to give the players time to rest and recover, and also to make rotation adjustments for the Champions League away match against Paris Saint-Germain next week.

But as a result, Real Madrid's available manpower becomes even more scarce.

Both Carvajal and Ramos are unable to play. Fortunately, Danilo can come back. He has not been on national team duty in the past two weeks, so he can play in this game to replace Carvajal.

Modric and David Silva will also be absent. Mascherano is also unable to play. On the contrary, Casemiro, who has no national team duty, can start. Suarez and Di Maria are also unable to play. .

The substantial rotation allowed Real Madrid to play most of their home games against Levante on the weekend with a rotating lineup.

…

Before the game started, Yang Yang once again showed off the European Golden Boot he had just won at the Bernabeu.

I don’t know how many times he has won the European Golden Boot. Anyway, even the fans at the Bernabeu are a little numb. They are used to Yang Yang showing off multiple important awards every year.

But this numbness and habit will not make them despise these awards, because they all know that except for Yang Yang, no one else in the entire European football world can win so many awards and bring them so much. honor.

When it came to the game, Real Madrid tried to control the situation from the beginning, but Levante turned the tables and tried to play a wave of attacks at the Bernabeu Stadium. They made the first shot in just five minutes, but failed to hit the target. goal.

After that, Real Madrid began to launch a counterattack and gradually took control of the situation.

In the 27th minute, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and sent a through ball. Yang Yang diagonally crossed the left side of the goal. After receiving the ball, he passed the defensive player and passed the ball to the goal. Jesé followed up and directly pushed the ball into the goal. Real Madrid opened the scoring.

After scoring the goal, Hesse was so excited that he jumped on Yang Yang's body and celebrated obliviously.

He is very aware of his situation in the team and what happened to him after he was seriously injured. Yang Yang still wants to help him as always, but there are many things that he cannot go back to, and he has slowly begun to accept them.

But even so, he still hopes to work harder and try to stay at the Bernabeu. Even if he really has to leave one day in the future, he does not want to take any regrets with him.

Just three minutes before Jese's goal, Toni Kroos pushed the ball forward and passed the ball diagonally from his right rib to the top of the penalty area. After Yang Yang stopped the ball and dunked the defender, he fired a furious shot with his right foot without thinking.

The ball went into the lower right corner of the goal, two to zero!

At the 82nd minute, Isco sent a direct pass. Yang Yang dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area, forced a breakthrough and passed to the back point. Vázquez responded, and after a step too late, Jesse inserted at the point. The backhand player passed near the ball point and hit the volley, scoring twice, 3-0!

After scoring three goals in a row, Real Madrid basically controlled the situation. However, before the end of the first half, Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area and made an emergency stop to spike the ball. When he tried to get rid of the defensive player, he was kicked by Levante defender Simao. The whole person fell to the ground, hugging his thigh in pain.

This sudden change also made Real Madrid panic. If Yang Yang is injured, what will Real Madrid do to fight Paris Saint-Germain?

So during the halftime break, Zidane made a quick decision and replaced Yang Yang with youth team player Marcos Llorente, adopting Jese's single striker tactics in the frontcourt.

But throughout the second half, Real Madrid ultimately failed to break Levante's goal again.

Three to zero, the home team defeated Levante with the help of Jese's two goals and Yang Yang's pass and shot.
