Chapter 1654 Super Coach
If it is said that in the previous week's four Champions League round of 16 knockout games, the most striking was Chelsea's 0-3 loss at home to Bayern Munich, then in the next week's four games, the most surprising was Real Madrid's 4-0 loss A win over Dortmund away.
Even, Real Madrid surprised people far more than Bayern Munich a week ago.
The reason is very simple. Before the season, few people were really optimistic about Real Madrid coached by Yang Yang.
Although Real Madrid spent 500 million, although Yang Yang just led Ajax to the Champions League, although Yang Yang returned to Real Madrid and his reputation has reached the peak of his career, all these are unbelievable, Yang Yang can be in the This season, he has led Real Madrid to continue his brilliant record.
Ajax winning the title is a miracle, but Real Madrid is different, this is a giant team that has attracted worldwide attention.
The challenges of coaching Real Madrid are far more than coaching Ajax.
Even with the strong support of President Florentino and even Real Madrid, can Yang Yang really solve Real Madrid's problems?
Failing to expel the veteran and showing no courage, what can Yang Yang do in the new season?
The doubts at the beginning of the season were revealed little by little with the start of the league.
Yang Yang has made everyone believe that even with the same group of veterans, he can make Real Madrid bloom with outstanding combat effectiveness, far surpassing last season's Lopetegui and Solari.
It's not the player's problem, it's the coach's gap!
With the deepening of the season, everyone gradually clearly saw the outline of a brand new Real Madrid.
Veterans still play a role, but have gradually faded out of the main force.
On the front line, Jovic is the center, which is the most mainstream trend in European football at present.
Without a high center to suppress, any team's offense is difficult to play.
Barcelona is like that, so is Paris Saint-Germain.
On the card surface, Barcelona has players such as Messi, Dembele and Griezmann, and Paris Saint-Germain has Neymar, Icardi, Di Maria, Pepe and Sarabia. Such an attacking lineup In European football, it is considered the best.
But once they encounter a team with outstanding defensive strength, Barcelona directly misfires. After Paris Saint-Germain lost Cavani, there is no way to take Real Madrid. .
On the other hand, Real Madrid, whether it is Suarez or Jovic, both play the role of a center.
After Suarez got old, Jovic showed an increasingly important role and began to occupy the main force steadily.
Hazard successfully lost weight and returned to his peak state. When facing Borussia Dortmund, he played a crazy side-by-side performance, which was amazing.
On the other hand, Mbappe has also become the top scorer in the Real Madrid team this season. He has begun to play an increasingly important role. Facing Dortmund, he made two passes and one shot and was elected the best player of the game. Circle points.
Not only that, but also Vinicius, who has performed well this season. This young Brazilian player is also a player that Yang Yang admires very much. In addition, there are players such as Rodrigo, Asensio and Vazquez on the bench. Looking forward to it.
It can be said that after the reorganization, Real Madrid's main attacking lineup has basically taken shape.
Especially after the 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund, Yang Yang's frontcourt trident showed Real Madrid's confidence and confidence, and at the same time made the entire European football world tremble.
Without the super killer Yang Yang, but with the addition of a super coach Yang Yang, Real Madrid's overall competitiveness is still amazing.
In midfield, Modric and David Silva began to fade out of the main lineup, and Toni Kroos gradually became marginalized, replaced by Frenkie de Jong and De Bruyne, especially De Bruyne, This season, he has been greatly promoted by Yang Yang, and he has also shown amazing strength. He is known as the No. 1 midfielder in the world.
The rise of the teenager Valverde has once again made people see Yang Yang's strength in promoting and cultivating young players.
These three midfielders, together with Casemiro and Kante who are in their prime, have basically formed Real Madrid's midfield.
As for the back line, the competition between Ferran Mendy and Marcelo stimulated the recovery of the Real Madrid vice-captain. Ramos gradually fell behind in the competition with De Ligt, but Yang Yang still trusted him in many key games. Real Madrid captain.
It can be said that after more than half a year of adjustment and running-in, Yang Yang's Real Madrid has gradually taken shape.
The German Bild wrote an article commenting after the game that the average age of the Real Madrid team after Yang Yang's reorganization is lower, especially the players in several key positions are only in their early twenties, which is conducive to the long-term planning of Real Madrid's team formation.
"We can clearly judge that Yang Yang is building a top-level team that will be competitive in the next five years or even the next ten years, and at present, he has achieved quite impressive achievements."
"It is reported that Real Madrid is in full swing, hoping to further poach Ajax players such as Odegaard, Ashraf, Sancho and Haaland. Yang Yang plans to form an Ajax department in Real Madrid. It will become the number one backbone of the Real Madrid dressing room in the future."
"And there is no doubt that, once successful, that Real Madrid team will be a nightmare for other teams in Europe in the next five or even ten years, and Yang Yang will also start a peak dynasty at Real Madrid!"
...
Not only did the German Bild make such an analysis, but also the mouthpiece media close to Real Madrid such as Marca and Aspen also sang praises of Real Madrid's away victory, believing that Real Madrid showed amazing fighting firepower this season.
"The addition of De Ligt and Militao has greatly improved Real Madrid's defensive capabilities."
"So far this season, Real Madrid is one of the best defensive teams in La Liga and even in the Champions League."
"In La Liga, Real Madrid conceded the fewest goals, five less than Atletico Madrid, which has always been good at defending. This is a very surprising number, because in the past so many years, Real Madrid has always been strong in attack and weak in defense, even if it is At its peak, it's all about scoring goals and rarely defending better than Atletico."
"Has Yang Yang's attack been affected?"
"The answer is, no!"
"While Yang Yang further strengthened the defense, Real Madrid's offense has been greatly improved, especially compared to last season, and Real Madrid's goals are now 18 more than the second-ranked Barcelona. It's not impossible to score a hundred goals again this season."
Aspen editor-in-chief Alfredo revealed in his column that Yang Yang's coaching has brought earth-shaking changes to Real Madrid.
"It's not just the repeated defeats against powerful enemies, not just the 4-0 away victory over Dortmund, but the more important thing is the team's mental outlook. Under Yang Yang's training, great changes have taken place."
"Before the knockout round of the 16th round, everyone thought that Dortmund had a strong offensive at home, but who would have thought that Real Madrid would actually play against Dortmund in the away game, and they also defeated the opponent 4-0."
"The key reason is that Yang Yang brought the determination and belief to the team to win, and at the same time, he completely suppressed Dortmund in targeted tactics."
Alfredo also quoted Dortmund coach Favre's words in the post-match press conference in the column, "We even had zero shots on target in the whole game, which is very, very desperate!"
For this, Alfredo said that this is Yang Yang's traditional performance.
"I don't know how he did it, but from Ajax last season to Real Madrid this season, Yang Yang is a believer in pressing and pressing from a high position, and his team can always suppress opponents, and then Force the opponent to have a hard time getting a kick, or even zero shots on target!"
If you don't shoot on goal, you naturally fail to create a threat.
Alfredo also revealed that this is not a full version of Real Madrid, nor is it the best Real Madrid in Yang Yang's plan, but there is no doubt that this is a perfect score submitted in his first season as coach. answer sheet.
"All league victories, all Copa del Rey victories, all Champions League victories..."
"If that doesn't explain the problem, then ask, who can do better than him?"
...
Interestingly, in addition to Real Madrid and foreign media reporters touting Real Madrid, even the Catalan media, who have always regarded Yang Yang as an enemy, have uncharacteristically affirmed this time, and even used Yang Yang's coaching as an analogy.
The World Sports Daily said that Yang Yang's success in coaching Real Madrid represents the strength and role of the leader.
"After Valverde was dismissed, there were many calls for Guardiola to come back, and there were even calls for Xavi to take over the job, but it was Setien who took over in the end, but more than a month later, it seems that , Setien did not solve the problems that Barcelona faced very well."
Mundo Deportivo obviously regrets the 1-1 draw with Naples away, although it is not a bad score, it is still unsatisfactory because they demand more from Barcelona.
Setien, the former grassroots coach of Real Betis, obviously does not meet the expectations of Barcelona fans and the media.
They are more inclined to the world's top coaches, such as Guardio and Pochettino, or the local direct line of Barcelona, such as Xavi.
Especially when they saw that Real Madrid, coached by Yang Yang, was getting better and better and began to reproduce the glory of the year, the Barcelona media and fans were even more envious, and their desire became stronger and more out of control.
More importantly, after the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds, La Liga will once again usher in the second derby of the century.
Real Madrid will be at home this time against Barcelona.
Before Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3-0 at Camp Nou, time has changed, and now Real Madrid is taking on the momentum of winning streak, with a strong and invincible attitude, sitting in the Bernabeu to face Barcelona, which makes all Barcelona media and fans very worried.
What if this is another fiasco?
In the previous 3-0 game, Yang Yang killed Valverde, which led to the Barcelona coach being basically sentenced to death. In this Bernabeu, can Setien successfully lead the team to retreat and keep his job?
