Chapter 980: Genius Coach

"Guardiola is truly a genius!"

In the chairman's stand of the Bernabéu Stadium, Valdano looked at the stabilized situation in the stadium, shook his head and sighed.

Ancelotti is undoubtedly the top head coach in the world. From the pre-match preparations to the formation of troops, Ancelotti is obviously superior to Guardiola. In the starting tactics of both sides, Guardiola Obviously made a serious mistake.

It can be said that the two goals conceded in the opening game were the result of Guardiola's mistakes.

Of course, it would be irresponsible to shift responsibility for those two goals to Guardiola, because mistakes on the football field are always accompanied by the players' own problems. There is always a search for a more suitable goalkeeper and that is known all over the world.

But when he lost the first goal, Guardiola didn't mess up or adjust. When he lost the second goal, he still didn't move, and he still didn't change his previous judgment. The result was that Messi led Barcelona to counterattack and scored. hit a ball.

One to two, the game was full of suspense again.

It was in this situation that Guardiola chose to adjust.

As the world's top superstar, Guardiola is obviously more familiar with and understands the players' state of mind and emotional changes on the court than anyone else. He brings confidence to the players all the time.

Now, after the adjustment, Barcelona stabilized their position and began to control the ball.

"After the previous first half, he seemed to be deliberating and researching again and again. From this game, he can see his progress. This is a very scary thing." Valdano said appreciatively.

Florentino certainly understands Guardiola's excellence and greatness, but this is not a good thing for Real Madrid.

"However, Jorge, the outside world has always believed that he is too superstitious about his own feelings." Chief Manager Redondo laughed.

Although Real Madrid have lost possession of the ball, they still lead by one goal. The situation is relatively optimistic.

In the case of double midfielders, the combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano can still ensure the team's defensive quality as long as the defense does not make major mistakes. From Benitez to Ancelotti, Real Madrid has maintained it for two and a half years.

Valdano nodded. "Yes, that's a problem, but you know, the mediocre will never understand the mind of a genius, and all geniuses are superstitious about their own feelings because they are geniuses."

After a pause, Valdano pointed to the pitch, "It's as if we will never know why Messi suddenly retreated to the midfielder just now, but dared to dribble the ball by himself and forcibly pass through the barrier, and also Let him give Sanchez that kick."

"For the same reason, we have no way to figure out why Yang Yang was attacking the left just now, and obviously wanted to find Ibrahimovic to cooperate. How could he be able to see the unguarded man on the far left? Robben?"

The field of vision of the players is limited, and the field is changing rapidly, so to some extent, the field of vision of the players is very narrow, but Yang Yang can see Robben, but Messi dares to break through with the ball.

This is what sets them apart.

It can be said that when they make this kind of choice, they must also judge based on their own feelings.

This is true of Yang Yang and Messi, so is Guardiola, and even Ancelotti.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the whole world did not understand Maradona, including the players of the Argentine national team, because no one could understand what Maradona wanted, and the football king was coaching the team with his own feelings , but he has no way to convey his feeling to the players.

Therefore, Maradona is a great player, but he is destined to be a failed head coach.

The great thing about Guardiola is that he did what Maradona couldn't.

But not every great player in this world can be Guardiola.

"You are right, Jorge." Florentino also spoke at this time, "Sometimes the feeling of genius is more important than anything else, so I have always believed that Zidane will become a great player." The head coach, not only him, but also Raul, and others, such as Xabi Alonso, and Yang Yang."

No one has ever questioned whether Yang Yang has a talent for coaching, because he is really, really smart.

Even many professionals in the industry think that Yang Yang's playing talent is very ordinary, but he is a very smart player. He is good at analyzing and summarizing, and his ability to read and analyze the game is superb. The kind of insight and deduction ability that others can't understand.

For example, during the halftime break of the 2010 UEFA Champions League final, Real Madrid had no way to deal with Inter Milan's impenetrable walls, but it was Yang Yang's plan to pull and mobilize the opponent's defensive formation through large-scale transfers, thereby creating The defensive loopholes completely broke the situation on the court.

is this fresh

Not new, because it's something all professionals know.

But Yang Yang proposed such a plan under the special circumstances at that time, according to Real Madrid's own situation and the opponent's characteristics, which profoundly changed everything about Real Madrid.

In the past one or two years, Barcelona has also adopted this offensive method, and Real Madrid has also unswervingly followed this path, so they introduced Di Maria and Maicon, and introduced Herrera and Modric this summer. .

It can be said that Yang Yang's proposal at the time not only brought Real Madrid a Champions League, but also made Real Madrid's technical team see another possibility, and then led Real Madrid to a stable technical and tactical road.

Maybe he is not a genius in playing football, but his intelligence will definitely make him a genius in the field of coaching.

In Florentino's plan, the future head coach position of Real Madrid will definitely belong to Real Madrid's own people, Zidane, Raul, Harvey Alonso, Yang Yang, and even more.

Among them, Zidane, Raul and Yang Yang were placed in the most important positions by him.

…………

…………

Guardiola's adjustment changed the situation on the field and helped Barcelona stabilize their position.

Real Madrid was also forced to defend and counterattack. After all, the risk of double midfielders is still relatively high, and Kaka's position has also retreated a lot from the opening, which caused Real Madrid to start losing the ball.

However, this is also within Real Madrid's estimates.

The first half ended with 2-1, with Real Madrid taking the lead temporarily.

During the halftime break, back in the locker room, the Real Madrid players were in a relatively good mood.

Although a goal was recovered in the first half, Real Madrid still leads temporarily, and the key is how to play in the second half.

No one in the locker room was discussing this issue. They were more talking about some problems that occurred in the first half, such as how Ramos slipped, and how Mascherano was suddenly freed by Messi. ...

Discussions like this, even arguments, will occur during the intermission of every game. Everyone is used to it, and they will tacitly control this kind of discussion in a better atmosphere, so as not to hurt the harmony.

Once a player argues too much, people around him will immediately step forward to dissuade them, and the parties will quickly calm down and shake hands to make peace.

This is a very good habit, but only if no one can blame teammates for mistakes.

It's as if no one can accuse Ramos of slipping, no one can accuse Mascherano of getting rid of so easily, or that Kaka and Xavi Alonso can't restrain Messi, and Pepe didn't block it in time Sanchez or something.

Such accusations are meaningless.

Yang Yang generally doesn't talk much, because he rarely makes mistakes, and sometimes, the Real Madrid team will laugh and joke that he is a robot that never makes mistakes, and his stability is a little scary, but he always sits on his own. position, analyzing the first half and thinking about the second half.

He guessed that Ancelotti should still take another risky gamble in the second half.

If it is a draw or a big victory, Ancelotti will probably defend it, but now it is leading by one goal. This is a very, very unsafe score. If Barcelona scores another goal, Real Madrid will be in a more passive position .

Therefore, it is better to simply take the risk of using the start of the second half to put pressure on, give it a go, and try to score another goal.

A draw is acceptable for Real Madrid. Although the situation is unsatisfactory in a single game, from the overall situation, Real Madrid still leads by eight points and still has an advantage.

If Ancelotti dare not play in this situation, it would be really disappointing.

...

While Yang Yang was thinking, Ancelotti and his assistants pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in.

He first praised the team's performance in the first half, and affirmed several points that did a good job. At the same time, he also gave pointers to some problems that the team had in the first half, and believed that the team needed to make corrections in the second half.

Then, he made a request for the team's tactics in the second half.

"After the opening of the second half, we still have to press out bravely and try to use the opening to score another goal!"

Ancelotti analyzed some of Barcelona's tactical changes and adjustments in the second half of the first half. He believed that in the second half, Real Madrid's offense was still concentrated on the two sides.

"The two full-backs must actively participate in the attack, and the double defensive midfielders must pay attention to the protection of the two wings. We must try to get another goal from Barcelona at the beginning of the second half. At that time, Barcelona will definitely go crazy."

Ancelotti's meaning is obvious. As long as they can expand the score to 3 to 1 in the opening game, Barcelona will not be able to attack even if they don't want to press it. At that time, Real Madrid will take a defensive counterattack.

Of course, Barcelona will definitely guess the possibility that Real Madrid will attack, the key depends on how Guardiola chooses.

Real Madrid's top four superstars are all top players in the world, and their personal abilities are all outstanding. If they really want to rush to attack, even Barcelona has to be a little bit afraid.

...

The game was also arranged by Ancelotti. Real Madrid attacked at the beginning of the second half, but Barcelona did not choose to back down, but fought tit for tat.

Just two minutes after the opening of the second half, Yang Yang was tripped by Pique when he dribbled the ball inside the front of the penalty area.

Yellow card, free kick!
