Super Storm

Yang Yang's remarks touched Zidane greatly.

In his impressions, Yang Yang has a high status in Real Madrid. He said that even Florentino has to pay attention, but he has rarely spoken in recent years, especially for the formation and tactics of the head coach's platooning. Express your opinions and opinions.

But he said a lot tonight, obviously because he realized some bad signs on the team.

Zidane himself is a top professional player. He has experienced Ligue 1, Serie A at the peak and La Liga during the Galaxy Battleship. He has experienced the peak and decline of Real Madrid, so he has a deeper understanding of many things than ordinary players. .

These days, he has also been thinking about the question, is Real Madrid really supposed to play football like Barcelona?

From the preseason to the present, Yang Yang said in an interview with the media more than once that Real Madrid should improve and improve on the basis of exerting its own advantages, and should not give up its advantages and blindly transform.

Ancelotti must have heard Yang Yang ’s voice and must have heard it, but in this game, facing Barcelona, ​​who has never missed in three years, Ancelotti still wants to try it, maybe he just wants Give it a try and see if Real Madrid's ability to pass and control the ball can beat Barcelona?

The price paid is not great. The first round of the Spanish Super Cup, one to two away scores, and the second round, so this is nothing, but the results are worthy of everyone's attention and vigilance.

More importantly, losing to Barcelona for the first time in three years was a big blow to Real Madrid ’s morale.

It is conceivable that early in the morning, all media will attack Ancelotti and criticize and criticize Real Madrid ’s players. No one will care about Real Madrid ’s transformation, and no one will care about Real Madrid against Barcelona in the past three years. What are the advantages of their results, they only know that Real Madrid lost.

Under such pressure, the team will undoubtedly need to calmly analyze and solve problems.

One view of Yang Yang that Zidane is very supportive is tolerance.

He is a French player himself. He came to Spain from the conservative Serie A. It was difficult for him to integrate into the La Liga football environment. He also performed badly at Real Madrid. For half a year, he even had a past intention, but in the end He achieved success in Real Madrid and became a legendary place for this club.

After immersing in Serie A for many years, Zidane has no special preference for tactics. He very much agrees with Yang Yang. He should be inclusive and tolerate different styles and characteristics, and adopt different strategies according to different opponents, even in the same game. It is possible to arrange different tactics according to different situations.

Quick defensive counterattacks, sharp side impacts, plus a solid and solid defense, this is the basis of Real Madrid's achievements in the past three years, and now, Real Madrid needs to inject more ball control elements on this basis.

Yang Yang is right in saying one thing. The Chinese say that it is easy to break after being too young.

Just being strong doesn't last long, so Real Madrid needs to infuse themselves with ball control and creativity to make themselves more resilient.

You can defend by retracting, and you can attack forward. You can use the pass to control the ball, and you can attack the opponent ’s weakness with a fast and sharp attack. It depends on what kind of opponent you are facing and what you are in. environment of.

From a macro perspective, the inclusive Real Madrid will make their selection wider, and it is difficult for the closed Barcelona to choose players who can fully integrate into their own team, unless they are willing to undergo transformation, such as Henry and Villa stars. After remodeling, Yaya Toure has also suffered in the same way.

In Zidane's view, the biggest difference between the two Barcelonas of Rijkaard and Guardiola is that the former is more free-spirited and more inclusive, while Guardiola is more rigorous and meticulous, more stable, but more Close yourself.

It's hard to say which one is good and which one is bad, but one thing Yang Yang is right is that Real Madrid is destined not to take the Barcelona route, and it can only go its own way.

...

When Zidane talked to Yang Yang and recounted it to Ancelotti, and at the same time explained his point of view supporting Yang Yang, the Italian coach also showed a thoughtful look.

In the game, he has realized the mistakes he has made, and he has been thinking about this problem on the way back. Now, Yang Yang and Zidane ’s views undoubtedly make him more sure what he will do next.

"We don't need to protect the ball at all, nor do we need to control the ball like Barcelona. We need speed, impact and efficiency. When countering, we need to send the pass in the midfield to let Yang Yang get rid of the defensive player. , Directly attacking the opponent's defense line, and pulling the opponent's defense line by shifting during the battle, allowing Yang Yang to create opportunities by running without the ball. "

Zidane ’s remark made Ancelotti nod, “The area that Barcelona ’s single midfielder can cover is very limited. As long as we attack one side, attract Busquets away from the position, and then suddenly move to another. Side, you can certainly create opportunities. "

This set of playing Real Madrid is unsuccessful, not only facing Barcelona or other teams, Real Madrid is already familiar.

What's interesting is that Ancelotti is very clear that Real Madrid's style of play was proposed by Yang Yang. Then, in the following years, Real Madrid's recruitment has basically followed this route.

After a pause, Ancelotti pondered and analyzed: "In counterattack, we can use Azar, Di Maria, Robben, Modric, David Silva and others 'S personal breakthrough to pass through the midfield can also quickly hit the ball to the side, and even our fast pass is very threatening. "

Leading the transfer of Real Madrid is the technical team led by Bardano. The Real Madrid lineup they have seen is almost perfect except for being slightly younger. This makes Real Madrid ’s tactical choices very large. Various types of teams Players.

After discussing an idea, Ancelotti and Zidane immediately found that as long as they are matched with the right person, the possibility of realization is very high. This is undoubtedly the happiest thing for a head coach.

"I think we can continue to try the three midfielders." Zidane suggested.

Ancelotti's eyes lit up. "You mean, two technical waists?"

He took this idea and tried to transform Kaka into a lower back, and he played well in several games.

"In fact, Xavi Alonso ’s passing speed is not fast. David Silva, Modric and Herrera pass faster. If David Silva, Xavier Lonso and Modric came to form a three-pointer midfielder, what would you say? "Zidane asked excitedly.

Ancelotti frowned and pondered, nodded: "Although feasible, although they are all technical players, as long as the tactical execution is enough, the placement rate is high, we can make up for the player's personal defensive ability through strict overall defense And the three technical midfielders can maximize the ability to take and play in the midfield. "

"Yes, David Silva's defensive will is also very strong, especially after the last season of tempering, his overall strength has been very obvious, I think he can be competent."

Ancelotti was excited, "David Silva can go up, Marcelo and Azar on the left, plus David Silva can form a sideline suppression, as long as he pulls Busquets to the left. The middle road was empty, and both Harvey Alonso and Modric could go up to meet, and then shifted to the right, or even direct pass to Yang Yang. "

But soon, Ancelotti shook his head again, "but this is still too risky. There is a lack of a defensive player who can hold the position in the midfield. While attacking, it is certainly pleasing. How can you stop Messi when defending?"

"Then go to Mascherano or Xavi Martinez." Zidane proposed.

"Harvey Martinez, the defense is sufficient, and there is a high degree, and the passing ability is also strong."

The two of you analyzed me one word at a time, as if peeling the cocoon and pulling the silk, gradually clearing the original chaotic situation bit by bit, and even re-examined the team's next path.

Yang Yang is absolutely right. Real Madrid is simply not suitable for taking the Barcelona route, because Real Madrid does not have such a gene, and it is reluctant to learn. At the end, it will only be counterproductive. Instead of this, it is better to stick to your own way. Draw on the strengths of others and learn from others.

And when Ancelotti and Zidane gradually calmed down and re-thought calmly, they were even more shocked by Yang Yang's analytical skills and his thinking about football.

In the Champions League final in 2010, Yang Yang proposed a large-scale transfer strategy, taking advantage of Xavi Alonso ’s long pass transfer advantage, and in the final defeated Mourinho ’s Inter Milan in one fell swoop. Strategy has also become the core strategy of Real Madrid in the past few years. After many trials, it is very difficult for other teams to contain it.

Now, Real Madrid is faced with reorganization and transformation, and Yang Yang proposed from a macro level that he cannot go to Barcelona, ​​and this will definitely further affect Real Madrid's strategy for the present and the next two or three years.

...

"Are you sure he is really a 25-year-old player?" Ancelotti asked suspiciously.

Zidane nodded bitterly, "He has read a lot of books on football theory. It is said that he is currently reading books related to the training of UEFA coaches. At the same time, he has also read a lot of research and papers by professional coaches. His memory is very good. Well, strong thinking and analysis skills, so ... "

Ancelotti smiled and shook his head bitterly, "Then he should take a coach certificate."

"Well, I heard that it was preparing."

Zidane's answer almost caused Ancelotti to fall down. Are you really going to take the exam?

This guy is simply!

Not only does the ball play well, but also the technical and tactical understanding and analysis is so strong. If this continues, which coach will drive him in the future?

However, it is also a lucky thing to be able to coach such a player.

Ancelotti was secretly happy.
