Super Coach

On December 19th, before the final training session in the afternoon, all Real Madrid players were surrounded by the conference room, accompanied by the coaching staff, watching the live TV, the draw of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout.

Yang Cheng really has a worry, because he did not expect that Chelsea actually ranked second in the group, which is really not a happy thing.

The eight teams in the first group are Rome, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern, Porto and Real Madrid; the eight teams in the second group are Chelsea, Panathinaix, Atletico Lisbon, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Lyon, Arsenal and Juventus.

According to the rules of the lottery, for Real Madrid, if there is a chance to meet the second team in the group, if they deduct the three teams of Atletico, Villarre and Juventus in the same group and the same country, there will be left Five teams under Chelsea, Panathinaikos, Atletico Lisbon, Lyon and Arsenal.

From Chelsea's point of view, omitting the first team in the same group and the same three teams in the same country, the chance to meet Real Madrid is equally great.

No matter from which point of view, Real Madrid touches Chelsea, this is a superb hype topic, isn't it?

Of course, it is Barcelona that has the same worries as Real Madrid. After the media in Catalonia just lost the Century Derby, they began to worry about the Champions League draw. They also have the same high chance to meet Chelsea. .

La Porta is definitely the least willing to meet the strong team at the beginning, because stopping at the top 16, it will be a big loss to Barcelona's financial income. At that time, the club's financial problems will be more obvious.

Yang Cheng was not worried at all, what he said in an interview with the media, the most hopeful encounter with Chelsea is not bluff, but because he really wants to touch Chelsea, he will use Chelsea to test Real Madrid Lineup and tactics.

But after the lottery, the result came out quickly.

The British-West showdown is the main theme, but not Real Madrid, but Barcelona.

Chelsea touched Barcelona, ​​which is undoubtedly an ideal hype topic, especially after the disc door in the summer, plus the signings and a series of tactical changes made by Guardiola after entering Barcelona, ​​they all follow the disc door. The similarities listed by Solo made everyone look forward to whether Mourinho could kill this team that plagiarized his tactics.

Real Madrid ’s opponent is Lyon, which should be considered a good sign, but it would be more perfect if Panaxinax can be drawn, but this team is really drawn, it is estimated that the world will scold Beckenbauer Seoul is escorting Yang Cheng's Real Madrid.

Draw results! When he came out, Yang Cheng's phone rang quickly.

"Ha, Jose!" Yang Cheng walked out of the meeting room and smiled and connected the phone.

"You are so lucky!" Mourinho said with a smile.

"I think it's a pity that I didn't touch you!" Yang Cheng fought back.

Mourinho seemed to be in a good mood, and he was able to meet Barcelona in the round of 16 eliminations. Following his wish, he really felt that the schedule was really good, "I am only deliberately taking second place in the group. , I did n’t even touch you like this! "

"Haha, that's really hard for you. You lost so badly at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. By the way, did you lose it on purpose?" Yang Cheng pretended to believe him and asked along.

Mourinho couldn't hold back and smiled. The **** refused to admit, "Why? Are you going to tell me to play a fake ball?"

"No, I think, when you plan to lose again, please notify me first, I have to bet quickly to earn a little extra money!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile.

Both knew that the other party was making a joke, that is, they laughed, and then exposed it.

"I help you kill Barcelona, ​​you owe me a favor!" Mourinho finally said a bit hòu.

"How do I feel that I helped you kill Barcelona?" Yang Cheng replied, "At Camp Nou, I took a vivid lesson for you. If you still can't kill Barcelona, ​​Jose, go back to your hometown!"

Mourinho over the phone smiled coldly, "A pistol held in an adult's hand is a lethal weapon, but in a child's hand, but it's just an interesting toy, I I will definitely earn all my accounts back, and I want them to pay the worst price! "

Yang Cheng knows that this is a permanent pain in the eyes of the Portuguese.

He did not conceal his longing for Camp Nou. He even longed for coaching Barcelona. Once, he thought he must be able to join Barcelona, ​​but at the end he found that everything was being played by others. This humiliation is definitely not something a proud Portuguese can stand.

Barca can not choose him from the beginning, but should not play with him this way!

"How do I think you are like a mistress abandoned by a man?" Yang Cheng asked deliberately with a smile.

Mourinho over the phone couldn't help laughing, but scolded: "Go to you!"

"Anyway, I hope we meet again, I will definitely give you a good lesson!" Yang Cheng smiled confidently.

After being defeated and eliminated by Mourinho's Chelsea for two consecutive seasons, Yang Cheng is equally uncomfortable. Although he is also very clear, Mourinho's victory is actually nothing. He is playing against Yang Cheng's target. If you get it right, you win, and Yang Cheng leads the way. Those are two very different realms.

But he still could not allow himself to lose, he hopes to use Chelsea to prove his progress!

"I'm waiting!" Mourinho said triumphantly.

"Be sure to beat you down!"

As soon as the lottery results came out, some complained, and some shouted luck, with all kinds of expressions.

Sometimes Yang Cheng really feels strange, the knockout is cruel, but if you really have enough strength, then what opponent do you draw, is there a difference? If you do n’t have that strength, even if you get a good draw this round, what about the next round? The next round of life. ． ． Can you laugh till the end?

Will eventually lose, it is only a matter of time!

Therefore, he has always been very indifferent to the lottery, and even he did not resist encountering a strong team at all.

Perhaps, with so many Champions Leagues, the realm is indeed different.

The third day after the draw, Real Madrid ushered in the last round of the game before the winter break, at home against Valencia.

Although in the past week, many players have been running around, but the training has remained very good. Yang Cheng used Aguero to replace Villa starting in this game, because Villa was training on the morning of the 19th The injury recurred and was not serious, but it was still a little better.

As a result, in the 3rd minute, Real Madrid, who used the home advantage to start a blitz, used Aguero's shot in the penalty area to take the lead in breaking Valencia's goal, and he was assisted by David and Silva.

In the 32nd minute, Ronaldinho once again used a direct free kick of about 25 meters to make Real Madrid the next city, 2: 0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Marchena fouled Aguero in the 67th minute. When he was fighting for the top, there was an obvious elbow action. Aguero bleed on the spot and Marchena was punished for a red card. Outside the field, Kaka hit a penalty, 3: 0.

In the 74th minute, Negredo, who played for Aguero, received a pass from the right side Maicon and David Silva. The header was ferried to the back point, and Ronaldinho Ronaldo inserted it in one go. 4: 0.

This is also the final score of the game. Real Madrid defeated the Bat Team 4: 0 at the Bernabeu Stadium.

At the press conference after the game, Yang Cheng denounced Marchena's malicious fouls, thinking that such players should be punished with the strictest punishment, and also said that Aguero's injury is currently unclear, but the injury is very serious. , Bleeding a lot.

But in fact, the nosebleed was stopped. It did n’t matter. It was just that the emperor was immediately annoyed by Marchena ’s malicious foul. You do n’t have to show your elbow?

In the first time after the game, Real Madrid collected all the evidence and submitted it to the Spanish Football Association, demanding severe punishment for Marchena. However, since Marchena acknowledged the error for the first time after the game, the attitude was very sincere, plus Agui Luo was not seriously injured, and the Spanish Football Association suspended him for 2 games.

Almost at the same time as the result of the penalty of the Spanish Football Association is the list of the best team of 20О8 published by the French authoritative media team newspaper. This best team considers the best players in the past 20О8.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defenders are Evra, Tiago Silva, Vidic and Maicon, the midfielder is Ronaldinho, Gerald, Kaka and Messi, the forward is Villa and Torres.

The position of the goalkeeper can be said that there is not much controversy. Cech ’s performance has declined after the injury. Reina is not very stable this year. Instead, Casillas has been very stable in the past two years and is Real Madrid. Dinghaishen needle in the back line.

Manchester United's left-back Evra has shown world-class strength in the past year. The light has completely overshadowed Chelsea's Ashley and Cole, and is the best left-back in the past year.

In fact, the left back has always been a hole in Real Madrid, but whether they look at Evra or Ashley Tael, they are all the type of assists that are assisted and they will definitely stay in the assists. The key to risk is how to use tactics to minimize this risk.

In Yang Cheng's view, instead of spending a lot of money to buy famous stars such as Evra and Ashley Tael, it is better to cultivate Marcelo or reuse Aveloa. It's my own youth training, and one is my own child. It is more appropriate than buying a big-name star.

All reasonable operating teams will not easily consider recruiting, because the introduction of a new player represents a lot of contradictions and problems within the team, such as competition in the same position, such as new players There are a lot of problems with the integration of the teammates and the personality of the teammates, which is very headache.

So on the left back, Yang Cheng firmly trusted Marcelo, Aveloya and Miguel Jerez and refused to sign.

Thiago Silva has proved his strength in the past two seasons. Whether he is partnering with Ramos or Pepe, he can show the level and stability of the top center defender. Moss and Pepe's partner, the problem is not small.

Both of them have created a personality. In a short time, they must be equipped with a stable partner.

Kompany ’s appearances this season have n’t been much. First, he ’s injured, and secondly, his strength is not able to compete with his teammates, but Yang Cheng has created a set of physical strengthening programs for him through the laboratory. In the training, everyone can see that Yang Cheng appreciates Compagni.

With the tall and strong English defender, excellent physical fitness, but with the flexibility and speed of a small player, if simply from the physical point of view, Compagni is simply synonymous with the perfect central defender, Bitia Gosier Watt is even better, because the Brazilians are weak, even if their bouncing power is good.

The other thing that makes Yang Cheng appreciate Kompany is that he is willing to use his brain, good at thinking and analysis, he has strong reading ability in the game, and his defense is very predictive. This has played a lot of positions with him and played for a long time. The midfielder has a lot to do with it, and his technique is also very good.

Although from these perspectives, Kompany is a piece of pure jade, it may not be able to turn into a dazzling gem and it will take a long time to progress and mature, but Yang Cheng just likes to watch a kid in his own hands Glowing and hot, so he often gave Compagni a chance in the training.

Believes that if Compagni's injury is reduced, he will get more opportunities to play.

It took Maicon half a year to completely establish its position as a world-class right back. I dare not say that it is the world ’s first, but can only be said to be top. In La Liga and Alves, the offense is not bad, the defense is more Robust and perfect!

There is no suspense in other midfield positions. Kaka has performed so well after the transition and is very stable. It deserves an optimal position. Gerrard led Liverpool to lead the Premier League all the way this season. The best positions Ronaldinho and Messi, Villa and Torres, these four are not much controversial selection.

It's just that in the 11-person European best lineup, Real Madrid took up 6 seats at a time and the best lineup was completely monopolized by the Premier League and La Liga. This is indeed a bit controversial. After all, this is equivalent to admitting the Real Madrid giants one by one. 'S performance has overshadowed opponents in other positions.

The team ’s interpretation of this is that Real Madrid ’s tactics have created outstanding performance for these players. In addition to Real Madrid ’s 20 О8 years, except for the Champions League elimination by Chelsea, the other events have performed very well and are very stable. In contrast, other The team is somewhat inferior.

When the official website of Real Madrid announced the best lineup of the team, Real Madrid fans were all excited about it.

But with this set of best lineups, there were also Christmas gifts for club players.

That is, every Real Madrid player dressed as Santa Claus, standing in front of the Christmas tree, for the next schedule of Real Madrid, for Real Madrid fans, but also for everyone in the world, say the last word of blessing.

This is a plan recently proposed by the club. It was taken by staff, edited into a video, and then put on the official website for fans to enjoy. As a gift from the club to all fans, Yang Cheng also appeared In the video, he wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.

And the club also announced the itinerary and training arrangements for the winter break.

The team began to enter the Christmas holiday on the 21st. For a week, the team resumed training on the 28th.

This time, in order to better prepare for the second half of the season, Real Madrid rejected the invitation of multiple regions and will arrange the training location in David, Silva's hometown, Canary Island, where the team will be closed. Training, but can carry family members for a week, hoping to greet the second half of the season in the best condition.

The schedule for Real Madrid in January is very tight. Although there is a two-week winter break, in fact, when the game restarts, it is a frequent one-week double match. Real Madrid must ensure that the team enters the game from the beginning.

Winter break is a good thing, you can rest, but also interrupt the team's game status, which is also a big test for the team's adjustment.

Villarreal at home on January 4th, the first round of the King's Cup against Real Betis in the middle of the week, the challenge of Mallorca on January 11th, and the second round of the King's Cup in the middle of the week, January 18th At home against Osasuna, if the King's Cup can eliminate Real Betis, midweek is the King's Cup quarter-finals.

Such an intensive schedule is a big test for any team's preparation.

Real Madrid has only 4 points ahead of Barcelona. If they can't support this stage well, the lead will probably disappear, which will make Real Madrid more pressured in the Champions League.

So Yang Cheng is still the same, not very important for the King's Cup bench, the main lineup focuses on the offensive league and the Champions League.

Not only Real Madrid is anxious, but Barcelona is also nervous. They recently purchased a batch of fat testing equipment. It is said that each player also distributes a diet manual, requiring all players to eat and drink according to the manual.

Everyone knows that on Christmas tables in European and American countries, almost all of them are the kind of high-fat diet. Once the players have no self-control ability, it is easy to gain weight quickly in just a few days, so Barcelona ’s fitness coaches follow the monitoring Like elementary school students, players are required to eat and drink according to the manual. Every day, they must use the instrument to check the fat and record it on the form. Return to the club and hand in the homework.

For such stars with annual salary of millions, it is somewhat ridiculous to adopt a method similar to the management of elementary school students to restrain, but it can also be seen that the current pressure of Barcelona and the The importance of the game is said to have been ordered by La Porta to win the King's Cup first.

Won for two consecutive seasons, and the league lags behind Real Madrid and competes in the Champions League. It is better to take the Kings Cup first. At least there is a trophy to account for it, so as not to be empty-handed by the end of the season.

Contrary to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid ’s player management pays more attention to self-discipline. Yang Cheng just said, after the winter break, look at the performance, who will perform well and who will play, Real Madrid has a strong player on the bench, and full competition can guarantee everyone. Players are more self-disciplined, because only in this way can they continue to occupy the main position.
