Super Storm

Just after Christmas, Real Madrid started training.

As soon as the training camp started during the winter break, Antonio Pintos directly started the tyrannical mode.

Suddenly, a thick desperate breath filled the air of Valdebebas.

But at the same time, Yang Yang was also on the first day of the camp. In front of all the players, he personally promised that the team would not recruit and transfer during the winter break. He hoped that all the players on the team would stay. Fight together for the second half.

Maybe after the end of the season, many players will go, and the team will inevitably reorganize, but at least in the next few months, they will continue to play side by side, none of them is indispensable.

…………

…………

On the evening of January 3, Real Madrid challenged Getafe in the 19th round of La Liga.

Yang Yang once again surprised everyone, excluding the classic three midfielders of Tony Cross, Casemiro and Modric. The frontcourt was a combination of Asencio, Suarez and Mbappé.

This line-up has surprised many people, but it is also in line with Yang Yang's recent rotation policy.

What's even more surprising is that in the case of a sluggish performance in the entire midfield and frontcourt, the central defender Varane shined and scored twice. Modric also scored a goal in the final stage of the game. Help Real Madrid beat Getafe 3-0 away and score another three points.

With Barcelona's two-on-two draw with the Spaniards, Real Madrid further expanded their lead.

From the score point of view, this is a perfect result, but from the process point of view, it may not be.

The ball possession rate is as high as 62%, but the number of field goal attempts is only ten times, even five times less than Getafe.

This is not difficult to see, Real Madrid's overall weakness.

In addition to the fact that the team has increased the amount after training and carried out physical reserve, the more important thing is that several veterans in the team have fallen sharply, especially in the midfield, which can not stop the opponent ’s offense and cannot be the frontcourt Players create opportunities.

To a certain extent, this game has strengthened Yang Yang and the management's view of the team.

Reorganization is imperative!

…………

After playing La Liga, Real Madrid won another two weeks of preparation time without having to participate in the King's Cup.

During this period, the draw result of the Champions League round of 16 eliminations also came out.

Real Madrid encountered its old opponent, Hornet Dortmund.

This Bundesliga team encountered Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League group stage, failed to grab the opponent, and finally ranked second.

It is not a good thing for Dortmund to meet Real Madrid in the knockout round of the 16th.

Everyone can see that now Real Madrid ’s momentum has formed, Yang Yang ’s team has been very stable, and the locker room interior is also very united. In this case, any other team that wants to kill Real Madrid must take Show enough strength.

However, Dortmund's strength has declined significantly in recent years, and there has been no peak of Klopp's coaching.

In addition to the Champions League, the draw for the third round of the King's Cup is also freshly released.

Real Madrid encountered Salamanca in Group B of the West Division B.

This team is not strong, Real Madrid has an overwhelming advantage, but in the end it is an away game, and it is a single knockout game.

Yang Yang said in an interview with Valdebebas that this is the first time the King's Cup has adopted such a single knockout system. Real Madrid need to be more cautious to avoid unpopularity.

"We all know that in England, the FA Cup in a single knockout game is regarded as a hotbed for upsets, because many strong teams are brutally weaker than their opponents in a single knockout game, and even often have low levels. The league team reached the semifinals of the FA Cup, and even the finals. "

"For this, we must maintain 100% caution and focus!"

Yang Yang is reminding Real Madrid's players, Lions and Rabbits, to do their utmost and not give opponents any opportunities.

…………

After two weeks, La Liga rekindled the fighting.

In the 20th round, Real Madrid ushered in Seville at home.

The two sides made a white paper in the first half, but in the fifty-seventh minute of the second half, Jovic's heel passed, and Casemiro broke the goal in the upper right corner of the small penalty area, opening the record for Real Madrid.

After Sevilla equalized the score, but Munir fouled the handball before scoring. The referee based the video referee on the referee and ruled that the goal was invalid.

Just four minutes later, from the right pass of Basquez, Casemiro header from the front of the penalty area to make a goal for Real Madrid.

Brazil scored twice in the midfield and performed well.

The last round was Varane, and this round was Casemiro.

At the beginning of the new year, Real Madrid's two games rely on the outbreak of players in the midfield and backcourt, it has to be said that it is also a big anomaly.

Yang Yang felt quite normal about this.

"The players in the frontcourt are slowly accumulating energy!" He said jokingly.

…………

…………

Three days later, in the third round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid challenged Salamanca away.

Yang Yang played with a full bench, and even the goalkeeper arranged Arreola.

Although the game was thrilling, Real Madrid finally scored twice with the goal of Viniusius, and the teenager Braim Dias scored twice, defeating Salamanca 3-1 away and successfully advanced to the fourth. wheel.

After the draw, Real Madrid's opponent in the fourth round was Zaragoza, still playing away.

The game time is one week later.

…………

…………

On the weekend, in the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valladolid away.

Yang Yang's Real Madrid is still in the adjustment stage after high-intensity physical reserve training, and the overall state is still very unsatisfactory.

This is also a period of pain.

In the past few seasons, especially in the seasons where Real Madrid has peaked, January and February each year are the trough period of Real Madrid's state, and then the overall state of the team will have a very obvious upward process.

During this downturn, the player's personal performance is crucial.

From Varane and Casemiro both scored twice, to this game, the golden player Nacho took advantage of the corner kick to score a close-range header and scored a lore for Real Madrid, making everyone exclaimed Yang Yang's life is tough.

But at the press conference after the game, Yang Yang refused to admit that he was dead.

"Our ball control rate is as high as 68%, which is twice that of our opponents. We have shot three times as many times as our opponents. Our opponents failed to even hit our goal once in the game ..."

Yang Yang said here, showing super self-confidence.

"What I want to say is that we didn't encounter any risks in this game, scoring is just a matter of time."

Yang Yang then commented on Nacho, believing that his goal was crucial.

"He is a reliable player when the team needs him. I have always believed in this."

…………

Three days later, in the fourth round of the King ’s Cup, Real Madrid challenged Zaragoza away.

Yang Yang once again offered a great rotation.

Varane scored for Real Madrid in the sixth minute, then Vazquez, Vinicius and Suarez scored successively.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Zaragoza 4-0, successfully advanced to the fifth round, which is the quarterfinals of the King's Cup.

This time, Real Madrid's opponent became the Royal Society.

The time is still a week later.

…………

…………

At noon on February 1st, the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the twenty-second round of La Liga, Real Madrid played at home against Atletico Madrid.

The game itself was relatively dull, Real Madrid was in poor condition, and Atlético Madrid played away, it was difficult to create effective opportunities under the oppression and defense of the opponents.

Even in the first half, Atletico had no chance of shooting a goal at Real Madrid.

This is also a characteristic of Yang Yang's coaching.

From Ajax to Real Madrid, he can always limit the opponent's offense, making it difficult for the opponent to threaten his own goal, and this also makes Kurtova perform very well this season.

The real highlight of the game is the fight between Yang Yang and Diego Simone, and the biggest flash is the kind of courage that Yang Yang exchanged for two players at a break.

Vinicius replaced Hazard, Mbappe replaced Casemiro, Real Madrid began to strengthen the frontcourt offensive.

In the fifty-sixth minute of the second half, Ferran Mendi made a cross from the left and Suarez hit a goal in front of the goal to score the winning goal for Real Madrid.

They exchanged two people in one breath, changing to four, three, three, the effect was immediate, and the wing suddenly kicked into the wind and water.

Yang Yang's substitutions have shown amazing results, so Atletico coach Diego Simone said in a post-match press conference that this is a desperate game.

"When your opponent tries to learn your style of play and tries to beat you in the way you are best at, it's very bad."

The meaning of Simone's words is obvious, that is, Yang Yang's tactics are too conservative.

With Real Madrid's lineup, there is no need to adopt a tactical approach similar to that of Atlético Madrid. They should play more calmly and creatively.

But Yang Yang also gave a rebuttal on the spot, "When the team's overall condition is not ideal, when meeting an opponent like Atletico Madrid, I think to win the game, get a three-point, and maintain the record and psychological advantage against the dead enemy This is more important than anything! "

After the game, Yang Yang's remarks were also affirmed by more people.

In Chinese words, this is called: one's way, one's own one.

Three days later, in the quarterfinals of the King's Cup, Real Madrid sat at home against the Royal Society.

In the first half again, there was a white paper, and no one could break the opponent's goal.

But after changing sides in the second half and then fighting, Real Madrid played a wave of offense.

In the fifty-ninth minute, Ferran Mendy received Debrune's cross pass and opened the record for Real Madrid.

Then in the 82nd minute, Vinicius assisted Rodrigo to the next city, and in the final stage of the game, Nacho received Jovic's assist to secure the victory for Real Madrid.

Since Atletico Madrid was eliminated in the round of 16, only Real Madrid entered the quarter-finals.

More importantly, in the subsequent draw, Real Madrid encountered the Milan B of the second division, Athletic Bilbao encountered Granada.

This is definitely a sign!
