Super Storm

July 20, Houston, USA.

International Champions Cup, Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich.

This is Real Madrid's first warm-up match in the new season, and also Yang Yang's first appearance after coaching Real Madrid.

Although it is only a warm-up game in the distant United States, Yang Yang ’s debut is still attracting the attention of the media and fans around the world. They all want to see whether Real Madrid under Yang Yang ’s training can continue Ajax. Brilliant.

But the result was surprising.

Real Madrid's starting lineup is not much different from the previous season. It is still the same as Solari. None of the players who have just been introduced this summer.

The player's performance on the court has indeed changed a lot, the enthusiasm has increased, but it is obviously not in the state.

Only fifteen minutes into the opening, Real Madrid's goal was broken by Bayern Munich, then Real Madrid launched a counterattack, but it did not work. There were only four shots in the first half, but all four shots were positive, but they were only Neuer Rejected.

At halftime, Yang Yang replaced 11 players on the court in one go, including goalkeeper Kurtua.

But the performance in the second half was still not much improved. First, Bayern expanded the score in the 67th minute, scored a goal two minutes later, and changed the score to zero to three. Real Madrid ended up with teenager Rodrigo in the eighth. A goal was pulled back in 14 minutes.

Even so, Yang Yang's premiere still lost to Bayern Munich one to three.

...

For this game, Yang Yang said in an interview with the media after the game that the team is not in a state.

"For the defeat, I and the players are not surprised at all, because our summer training has been carried out as planned. We have just finished ten days of physical reserve training, and it is not yet time to get out of state."

Yang Yang even jokingly said that if the team is out of shape, then he should have a headache.

"In fact, we did not perform badly throughout the game. We had 17 shots and Bayern Munich had 20 shots. The ball possession rate was 55% to 45%. "

Yang Yang looked at the results of the game very lightly, because it was just a warm-up match.

For what many media say, Real Madrid and Ajax have adopted different tactics, Yang Yang said normal.

"The average age of Real Madrid is much different from that of Ajax. We cannot use the tactics of Ajax to demand Real Madrid. This is unfair. Of course, Real Madrid ’s overall strength is better than Ajax. Now we are working hard to find a tactical approach that matches Real Madrid. "

Some of the new recruits who joined this summer have already played in the second half, and Yang Yang's evaluation is also very high.

"I think the best performer should be Rodrigo. I have always been optimistic about him, and Venius is also very good."

"Oh, yes, and Federico Valverde, he's pretty good."

For his four lovers in the Dutch Ajax, there was no scheduled appearance in this game, and they all sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes. The reason for this Yang Yang gave was, "They are not ready yet. . "

…………

Three days later, in the second game of the International Champions Cup, Real Madrid played against Arsenal.

Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow in the opening ten minutes. Nacho was fouled with a handball and was sent off directly with a red card. Arsenal forward Lacazette took a penalty kick to set the record for the Gunners.

In the twenty-fourth minute, Aubameyang went to the next city to further expand the score for the Gunners.

There was one less person on the scene and two goals behind. At the same time, Real Madrid played very passive, but the team finally stabilized.

After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Yang Yang once again directly replaced eleven players.

In the fifty-sixth minute, Marcelo made a low pass on the left side of the penalty area. Isco knocked back. Asensio's heel pulled the ball and sent a good pass. Mbappe easily pushed and broke the goal, one to two.

Afterwards, Asencio played his bravery, first hit the post and then scored a goal for Real Madrid to equalize the score.

But in the eighty-seventh minute, Zaka sent a long pass, and the successful anti-offside Enkatia broke through to form a single-shot and scored again.

In the end, Real Madrid lost to Arsenal 2-3, gaining a two-game losing streak in the warm-up match.

...

Both Bayern Munich and Arsenal in the first game have an obvious feature, that is, Real Madrid insists on playing against opponents. Whether in the scene or in creating opportunities, Real Madrid does not lose to their opponents.

But in terms of the overall state of the players, especially the transformation of offensive efficiency, Real Madrid is still not good enough.

Yang Yang's interpretation of this is still the same as before, and Real Madrid is still adjusting.

"The role of the warm-up match is to help us adjust the state and blend in the best tactics and lineups. My task is to find a mature and stable starting lineup and technical and tactical play before the start of the season. The rest is not important."

Many people have noticed that when playing Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Yang Yang replaced the six starting lineups, of which Nacho unexpectedly started and suffered a red card in ten minutes, which became the turning point of the game.

Yang Yang's assessment of this is that he will not criticize Nacho for this.

…………

…………

After another three days, it is still the North American International Champions Cup.

Yang Yang once again arranged for Nacho's starter, and at the same time made a drastic adjustment to the starting lineup, replacing five players compared to the last game playing Arsenal.

Everyone can see that he is constantly debugging the team, and the four players introduced from Ajax have not played for even a minute. This represents Yang Yang ’s trust in them and does not need to be renewed. Investigate them.

This time, Yang Yang decisively took a high position to press and try to control the ball. The midfielder also discharged the three midfielder combination of Isco, Tony Cross and Modric, in front of Hazard, Suarez and Pooh. Sius.

But unexpectedly, just 45 seconds into the opening, Atletico Madrid sent a good pass from the new price of Felix, Diego Costa shot on Ramos's leg, refracted into the net, opening the record for Atletico Madrid. .

Afterwards, the Bed Linen Army was unstoppable, like a tiger going down the mountain, frantically putting pressure on Real Madrid, and Felix, Correa, Diego Costa scored goals, even before the end of the first half, Diego. Costa was tripped by Isco and personally took a penalty to lock the score to five to zero.

This is definitely an incredible score, especially with Real Madrid.

The entire Metropolitan Life Stadium is fried!

Many people even think that Real Madrid is playing fake football?

...

Yang Yang stood on the sidelines, shaking his head unconsciously.

"The running is obviously insufficient, the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt is not enough, the frontcourt cannot suppress the opponent's back line, which makes us insufficiently suppress the opponent's penalty area, the midfielder can't control it, and can't hold the ball. As soon as the competition strikes, we are done. "

Harvey Alonso was also very speechless about this result.

"I really didn't expect that the team's strength would decline so much after only one year."

Speaking of which, Xavi Alonso looked at Yang Yang worriedly.

Real Madrid ’s preseason arrangements are purposeful. The Bundesliga team Bayern Munich, the Premier League giants Arsenal and the La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid. These three teams represent the strongest level in European football. Yang Yang hopes to use this Strong dialogue to investigate the team, and enter the rhythm of the new season faster.

But the price paid is also great.

Real Madrid is still constantly adjusting, many problems have not been solved, many players have not yet integrated into the team, for example, four new aids have not been on, which makes the overall performance of Real Madrid ’s first three warm-up matches still above This season's set is the main one, and tonight, Yang Yang wants to try the high position to force the oppression, and the result is directly overwhelmed by Atletico Madrid.

At this point, it is estimated that Simone himself was unexpected.

The fiasco will inevitably affect Yang Yang!

Although Yang Yang used to be an assistant coach last season in Ajax, his preseason performance was also very bad. Even many people know that he deliberately sacrificed the preseason performance to inspect the team and polish the ball. Team technical and tactical play.

But that was based on the fact that the team did not suffer a fiasco, but now it is five to zero!

If you allow Atletico to continue to play like this, you may be able to get an amazing double-digit score tonight.

"You're right, the offensive players are not enough to suppress the penalty area. Suarez is old, his ability to suppress is declining, he has to run and pull to create space, he has to respond, and he has a chance to score. He is already out of power."

"There is also our midfield. There is basically no one in the back. There is a serious lack of running. It cannot provide a strong support for the trident in the front field, nor can it effectively protect the back line. It can advance our 30-meter area, and in this case, the position of the back line is too high, and if it fails to land in time, the gap becomes very large. "

Yang Yang is not a fool. Of course he knows the team's problems, but Real Madrid's situation is still seriously beyond his expectations.

Or it should be said that the level of many players has fallen so that Yang Yang can't believe it.

Of course, they have already achieved fame, and after thirty years, it is natural to decline from the peak.

Like the captain Ramos, Yang Yang originally meant to let him press up and use his sweeping ability to share the defensive pressure for Tony Cross. This was completely competent in the past, and he is also the best at it, but now it is Can't do it.

His body slipped, his speed was slow, and sometimes his attention was not so much, it was easily penetrated, and Nacho failed to form a good protection behind him, which made Atletico almost It's a match.

The Emperor immediately lost five goals in a row at halftime, that's what happened.

Yang Yang understood that he really wanted to kick this way, and even if he was exchanged for a fairy, it would be impossible to save Real Madrid.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang secretly made up his mind.

The three warm-up matches are enough for him to see the situation of Real Madrid, which is far worse than he imagined.

So, if you want to save Real Madrid, you can only give fierce medicine.

"Tell them, ready, in the second half!"
