Super Storm

"Just received information from Barcelona, ​​Messi has already started a separate training."

The two-week national team match day has just begun. At the Valdebebas training base in the northeastern suburb of Madrid, Zidane and Yang Yang are meeting with the coach of the Real Madrid first team to discuss the news from Barcelona.

Since ancient times, the most important thing in fighting is intelligence, and football is no exception.

It is not uncommon for European teams to spy on the opponent ’s military situation before every game. Real Madrid has special scouts to do these things, such as the assistant coach who is currently in charge of Real Madrid intelligence and game analysis. David Bettoni, formerly Real Madrid ’s employee specializing in spying intelligence.

Similar to the century Derby like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they attach great importance to Barcelona's intelligence. As early as a week ago, Real Madrid scouts began to collect and spy on Barcelona's intelligence in a minute and analyze it in a targeted manner.

When Yang Yang and Zidane got the news from David Bettoni, they were not surprised at all. Messi's comeback was within their expectations, because the Argentine superstar is one of Barcelona's most important core capabilities.

Since being seriously injured two months ago, Messi has been sidelined and has been working hard to recover, the purpose is to catch up with this game of Bernabeu, and now it seems that he should be able to catch up.

There are still two weeks left, according to the current recovery progress, completely within time.

Of course, catching up with the game does not mean that his status can be adjusted. After all, he was absent for two months.

"Is there only one Messi?" Zidane asked with concern.

"And Rakitic, the Croatian seems to be progressing faster and is already doing restorative training."

Now for restorative training, after the end of the game day of the national team, it is completely up to the century derby.

"So, both of them can go?" Zidane frowned and muttered to himself.

Yang Yang thought about it and shook his head. "It may not be possible, but Enrique may not let him go. The key is to see the state."

Zidane nodded again, "but it's still reassuring."

At the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​every game is a brand new start. No one can say with any certainty that because Real Madrid has the advantage in the past, it is possible to continue to kill Barcelona in this game. This is impossible.

The strength gap between the two teams is not very disparate. As long as any team has some omissions, as long as it is slightly paralyzed, or there are major tactical problems, it will be killed by the opponent at any time.

Century Derby is definitely the pinnacle of today's football with the highest technical and tactical content!

It's as if Ye Gucheng and Ximen Fuxue battled against the top of the Forbidden City. The contest between the two top experts, with a little distraction, the opponent's sword will pierce your throat.

"I played a lot of Century Derby, so I know that such a game requires very high requirements for each player, because the intensity and difficulty of the game are extremely high, but in comparison, I think The state of the players is more important. We do n’t have to choose the strongest players, but we must choose the best players. "

Yang Yang said this very seriously, and this is his attitude towards this game.

This was Zidane ’s first century derby after coaching Real Madrid, and Yang Yang ’s first. He did n’t want to lose.

"Yang Yang is right, the requirements of the game are very high, and the players are in poor condition. It is bound to lower the overall level of the team and give the opponents an opportunity. Therefore, we only choose the best condition, even if the strength is slightly worse, but at least To be able to play out, more importantly, we have to form a whole to face the battle. "

When Zidane said this, he thought about it again, “I ’ll talk to the technical department and call various national teams to try to reduce the playing time of our players as much as possible, even in unnecessary games. Stop it. "

This is the normal practice of the club. Of course, if the national team does not give face and insists on requiring players to play, sometimes the club will deliberately let players take some countermeasures, including fraud.

For example, many Brazilian internationals have never played the Copa America, and every time they happened to be injured before the Copa America.

Yang Yang did not return to China for the past two weeks.

In November, the Chinese national team had two World Cup qualifiers, the opponents were Bhutan and Hong Kong, China. Both teams are far less powerful than the Chinese team, and it is not a problem to win the opponent.

After defeating Qatar in the last round, the Chinese team has seized the opportunity in the qualifier group stage. Both Bhutan and Hong Kong, China, are meat on the cutting board of the Chinese team, which is basically incapable of running away.

In this case, Real Madrid came forward to discuss with the national team, hoping that this time, Yang Yang will not be recruited, so that he can concentrate on preparing for Barcelona against Barcelona, ​​after all, this is a crucial game.

This is why Yang Yang still stays in Valdebebas.

...

"In the past few years, we have been able to defeat Barcelona, ​​never because we suppress opponents in passing and controlling the ball, but we can always work together to suppress our opponents by relying on a compact overall. Our midfield is like a city wall. It is important to be able to block Barcelona from our restricted zone. "

Zidane has a very clear understanding of Real Madrid's past performance against Barcelona, ​​because he experienced it firsthand.

In terms of passing the ball, Real Madrid will definitely not win Barcelona. This is the opponent's best.

"If Luis Enrique put Messi on this game, it must be trying to grab the ball with us. If it is not Messi, then we have to be careful."

After Harvey left the team, the core of Barcelona's transmission and control was Messi, Iniesta and Busquets. Among the three players, Iniesta and Busquets were in the midfield, Messi now often retreats to the central midfielder. s position.

Obviously, this is to compensate for the weakening of the midfield pass and control after Harvey left the team.

It can be said that this style of play is the tradition of Barcelona going deep into the bone marrow, and they will never forget it.

If Messi does n’t play, Barcelona ’s ability to pass and control the ball will be weakened a lot, which will be an opportunity for Real Madrid, but it can also be reversed. Barcelona will take a different tactics than before, Real Madrid must be careful .

"What do you think?" Zidane looked at Yang Yang.

He used to communicate privately, and since Yang Yang became his chief assistant coach, he had to analyze the intelligence and tactics of both the enemy and us before almost every game.

Yang Yang has also become accustomed to this. His mind is analyzing the current situation and showing a look of thinking.

"In these two matches of Paris Saint-Germain, I found a very interesting place." Yang Yang suddenly laughed.

Everyone was a little puzzled, Zidane was even more curious, "Let's listen."

"I suddenly found out that Tony Rose is really interesting."

Everyone is puzzled, is this an unknown thing?

The core of the world champion midfielder, the top midfielder in today's world football, can it be bad?

"Remember our tactics against Paris Saint-Germain?" Yang Yang asked Zidane without much explanation.

The French thought about it, and vaguely guessed what Yang Yang meant. "You mean, Tony Ross pressed forward?"

"Yes, his control of the situation, his judgment and grasp of the timing, and his defensive ability ..." Yang Yang said here, and shook his head a bit funny, "He is quite complicated, saying that it is the front waist. Well, the rhythm is too slow to play. It ’s a midfielder, and the defense is too bad, so we always use his midfielder. "

Everyone nodded frequently, indeed, whether it was Ancelotti or Zidane, they used him that way.

"But when I played Paris Saint-Germain, I found out that he had a very good grasp of the timing of the push. He was always able to pinch at the point of Paris Saint-Germain and let his opponent play awkwardly. His defensive ability It ’s not very good in the lower back position, but when he presses forward, this position looks very good in the front field, and he is very diligent. "

After Zidane listened, he pondered it carefully.

Whether this player Tonic Ross is in Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, whether it is Heinkes or Guardiola and Ancelotti, obviously no one uses his current waist, and his back is not good. It feels a little high and not low.

But now Yang Yang said this, and everyone suddenly found out that if it is used in this way, Tonic Ross is really very easy to use, and more importantly, in the tactical framework of Real Madrid, he can play its own characteristics.

"You mean, playing Barcelona with Paris Saint-Germain?" Zidane guessed.

Yang Yang laughed and shook his head, "No, that's too conservative."

Everyone was immediately amused by him. This is what some tabloids outside criticized Real Madrid, but in fact, they can beat Paris Saint-Germain three to zero away, and won the Ligue 1 class bully in both rounds. Who dare to say that Real Madrid is conservative?

"Barcelona's strongest weapon is their offense, and their biggest weakness is their defense. These seemingly contradictory two parts are supported by the midfielder. So when we play Barcelona, ​​we have to directly suppress their midfielder. , Steal the ball as much as possible, hit a quick counterattack as soon as possible, and face their defense directly. "

What Yang Yang said is the experience of Real Madrid defeating Barcelona in the past few years. It can be said that it has been trial and error.

This is the same thing in the bones, but in each game, the opponent's platoon formation is different, and the way to achieve the tactical goal is naturally different.

It's like this game, with Messi and without Messi, these are two different ways of playing.

Real Madrid also needs to prepare two different sets of plans for this, but the tactical goal he wants to achieve is what Yang Yang said. After stealing the ball as much as possible, he will face Barcelona's defense line with the fastest counterattack.

But what does this have to do with Tonic Ross?

Didn't Real Madrid always play like this?

"Okay, can't you sell Guanzi? Say it directly!" Zidane scolded Yang Yang with a smile, something he most admired, that is, Yang Yang can always find some places that others can't think of, and have some very interesting ideas.

When he saw that Yang Yang didn't seem to say it yet, Zidane sighed helplessly, "Hurry up and say it, when I'm done, I invite everyone to have a good meal."

Everyone rejoiced and looked at Yang Yang.

Yang Yang smiled and said a loss.
