Chapter 1317 Make Enrique Vomit Blood!

The two weeks of national team matches have been a bit uneventful.

Although Yang Yang did not return to China to compete, the Chinese team was the runner-up in the World Cup. The strength and confidence of the players were there. First, they beat Bhutan 16-0, and then defeated Hong Kong, China, 3-0.

Wu Lei, who replaced Yang Yang, shined in both games and performed exceptionally well.

Wu Lei's performance in La Liga is also remarkable. He has completely established himself in Espanyol and has become the main force. At the age of 24, he is beginning to usher in the golden period of his career. If he can work harder , he may not have the opportunity to play for a big team in the future. The key lies in his subsequent development and progress.

Although Yang Yang has not returned to China to compete, he is not idle in Madrid.

Apart from two days off a week to spend time with his wife and children at home, he spends the rest of his time in Valdebebas. In addition to training with Casemiro and other players who have no national team competition duties to maintain their condition, he also has to follow the team. Dardenne and other first-team coaching staff met to study Barcelona and deduce the upcoming derby of the century.

Pre-match preparation is crucial, and deducing various situations that may arise during the match is key. Only in this way can we avoid being caught off guard by our opponents during the match.

Many times the team not only has to deduce the team's lead, but also deduce the team's lag, when it falls behind, and how many goals it lags behind. These are all things that need to be prepared in advance, as well as some common unexpected changes in the game. .

All in all, pre-game preparation is essential, but it also extremely tests the skills of the coaching staff.

Almost all famous European coaches are good at pre-game preparation. Yang Yang and Zidane are both stars with rich career experience. They have also experienced many top coaches, and naturally they have learned a lot.

…

After the two weeks of national team matches, Real Madrid players returned to Madrid one after another.

The furthest away is the South American international team. Not only do they have to travel a long distance, but the November games are all strong dialogues.

On November 13th, Argentina faced Brazil at home. The game ended in a draw with a score of one to one. Real Madrid’s Mascherano and Di Maria both played full-time for the Argentina national team. field.

Marcelo was not included in the Brazilian national team roster due to injury. Although Danilo was included in the roster, he did not get a chance to play in this game. On the contrary, Barcelona's Alves and Neymar played the entire game. .

On November 17, Brazil defeated Peru 3-0 at home. Alves and Neymar played the whole game again, but Danilo still did not play for a minute; Colombia lost 0-1 at home to Brazil, Masche Llano and Di Maria played the whole game again.

Among them, Colombian international James Rodriguez also played the full game in both games.

Although the game was completed on the 17th, the national team would not be disbanded until the 18th. Then the players began to take flights back to Europe. However, due to long distances and other factors, Mascherano and Di Maria did not arrive until He only arrived in Madrid on the morning of the 20th. Although he returned to the team for training as soon as possible, his condition could not be guaranteed.

This situation is not limited to Real Madrid, almost all teams with South American international players will be affected by this.

In Valdebebas, the first thing all international players do after returning to the team is a physical examination, and then they are inspected by the coaching staff during training. Both Zidane and Yang Yang want to see which players are in better condition and which ones still need more training. Adjustment.

But time waits for no one, and the footsteps of the Derby of the Century are getting closer and closer.

On the afternoon of the 20th, Luis Enrique held a pre-match press conference in Barcelona and announced the 18-man squad for the team's departure to Madrid, and Messi was on the list.

This is the first time Messi has appeared in Barcelona's lineup since he was injured in the game against Las Palmas. Everyone is looking forward to his debut in this game, and he will fight against Real Madrid and avenge his past humiliation.

Messi himself is also eager to try and want to perform at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Luis Enrique is delighted with Messi's comeback. He has repeatedly emphasized that Messi is Barcelona's most important player and it is crucial for Barcelona to be able to come back before the crucial Derby of the Century.

But on the other hand, Luis Enrique was still vague about whether Messi would start, and did not disclose any accurate information to the outside world.

Real Madrid can't guess how Luis Enrique will deal with it, so they can only make two preparations.

Zidane also announced the 18-man roster for Real Madrid's Derby of the Century the day before the game. South American internationals including Mascherano, Di Maria and Suarez also appeared on the roster.

This also surprised many people, because in the first game after the national team games in September and October, all the South American internationals who participated in the national team games did not play. So what about this time?

Although Real Madrid has a strong bench, the international players such as Mascherano, Di Maria, James Rodriguez and Suarez are Real Madrid's important players. It's okay to face other teams, but they can beat Barcelona. …

Over the past few years, every Derby of the Century has attracted the attention of media and fans around the world, and this year's one is especially so.

This is the first derby of the century between Zidane and Yang Yang after coaching Real Madrid. Everyone wants to see whether the two rookie coaches can keep Real Madrid's performance advantage over Barcelona in the past few years? Will he be defeated in the derby of the century like Luis Enrique did back then?

And Barcelona seems to be quite worried that Real Madrid will play tricks before the game, so they did not come to Madrid in advance, but came to Madrid from Barcelona on the morning of the game.

When they walked out of the Madrid Capital Airport, every player had the belief of winning. When interviewed by the media, many players threatened to get their shame at the Bernabeu, beat Real Madrid and shorten the gap.

The media from all over the world also gathered in Madrid one after another, all scrambling to pay attention to this focus battle.

Everyone knows very well that this battle is bound to change the trend of the entire La Liga, because Real Madrid is already four points ahead of Barcelona. If Barcelona loses this battle, it will undoubtedly further widen the gap, which will be quite unfavorable for Barcelona's next reversal .

Whether it is the media, fans, or the two participating teams, they all know very well that in La Liga, the result of the Century Derby often determines the La Liga champion.

Whoever can win the century derby will be the favorite to win the championship.

And this game attracted nearly 180 countries and regions to broadcast, and it is estimated that more than 600 million people will watch the live broadcast. More than 700 reporters from 300 media came to the Bernabéu Stadium to watch the game. All these created the derby of the century The highest record in history, the scale even exceeds the Champions League final.

Madrid officials also attached great importance to this. More than 1,500 police officers, 1,500 security guards, 100 ambulances and 100 Red Cross staff were dispatched. A quarantine area was set up outside the Bernabéu Stadium. The prohibition of vehicles in the city center can be said to have used the power of the Spanish state.

Not only that, the Spanish royal family, headed by Juan Carlos I, all came to watch the scene. Prime Minister Rajoy also brought government officials to the scene to supervise the battle, and other Spanish and European political and business celebrities were even more extraordinary.

This is not just a duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but also a top-level feast for European football and fans all over the world.

…………

…………

When Yang Yang and his teammates finished the last warm-up training session before the match at the Bernabeu and returned to the locker room, they were immediately called to the coaches' rest area by Zidane.

Real Madrid finally got Barcelona's starting lineup.

Goalkeeper Bravo, Alba, Mathieu, Pique and Alves in the defense, Iniesta, Busquets and Rakitic in the midfield, Neymar and Cristia in the frontcourt Ronaldo and Sergi Roberto.

"Messi did not appear in the starting lineup." Zidane scratched his bare head and said.

This is not surprising, as Real Madrid have been prepared for this for a long time.

"It can be seen that Luis Enrique has the same idea as ours. He always chooses the player with the best condition, not the strongest player. He has finally begun to understand how to play the derby of the century." Yang Yang laughed road.

If Luis Enrique still lets Messi start, Barcelona's cards will look very strong, but in fact, how much Messi's state can be restored is an unknown, and it is estimated that even Barcelona itself is not very sure.

If it is against other teams, it is no problem to let Messi play, but against Real Madrid and the Derby of the Century, Enrique must weigh whether he has such confidence.

The derby of the century has never been just three points, but also just the six-point gap that comes and goes. There is more significance behind it. Enrique obviously knows this, so he dare not take the risk on Messi.

"If I were Enrique, I would do the same thing. Messi won't start, but he will come off the bench. It should be around 60 minutes." Yang Yang guessed.

Sixty minutes is a very common time for substitutions. The reason why Yang Yang guessed that he would play Messi at this time was because it left Messi with 30 minutes of game time, which was neither too long nor too short.

It's too long, it's unfair to the starting players, too short and it's not conducive to Messi's integration into the game and his strength, 30 minutes is just right.

This is why many coaches like to make substitutions at 60 minutes.

"Then let's stay the same and use that trick against Barcelona!" Zidane said with a smirk.

If France Bald Qiang's smile is seen by the media and fans, it will definitely ruin his image completely, what a rogue.

"Blanco was already furious at you before, will Enrique vomit blood directly tonight?" David Bertoni had an expression of fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Yang Yang and Zidane looked at each other, they both sensed the confidence in each other's eyes, and they all laughed in unison.

For this game, they are very confident and determined to win!

I just hope that Enrique doesn't really vomit blood.
