658 What to save you, my Barcelona!

During the two-week national team competition, Yang Cheng became very idle, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need to do things.

The first week he was more on vacation, first staying at Lake Como for a few days, and then running to live in a luxury villa on Lake Windermere in England for a while, and now the season has passed just in time, and he stayed there for a few days in the company of Sienna, and this time he really visited the scenery of Lake Windermere.

After returning to Madrid, some players who did not have national team play tasks began to train intensively, and some players from Castilla who participated in the U-level national team also returned, and Yang Cheng drew Parejo, Bueno, Callejón and Jurado to the first team to participate in joint training.

According to Yang Cheng's previous thoughts, the game against Almeria must be a substitute, but he also wants to try to play this game with a different tactic, and he hopes to try to see the effect.

Therefore, after returning to Valdebebas, Yang Cheng took this group of substitutes to start practicing the new tactics.

There is a saying in the current football world, called the midfielder wins the world, many people just think that this sentence is talking about a game, but in fact it is not, because the midfield configuration is very important in the current football tactical system, even more than strikers and defenders, what kind of football can a team play, relying on the midfield.

Therefore, Yang Cheng forms a team, usually around the midfield, for example, Real Madrid revolves around Xavi? Alonso and Mascherano came in a double midfield, and this time it was no different.

It's just that Yang Cheng wants to try some changes in the midfield configuration, so he repeatedly rehearses and investigates in training.

When a person's tactical comprehension is raised to a certain height, a team's tactics are equivalent to a set of game props pieced together by the technical characteristics of different players in his impression, and he can adjust and change the tactics according to his tactical comprehension anytime and anywhere.

For example, if a team can't score goals, some managers will think that it is not good to be a striker, which is a relatively low-level manager, and some managers will think that it is not good to be a midfielder, this is a medium manager, and the really top manager will find out which part of the team's offensive promotion is wrong through video recording and training.

Some people will choose to introduce midfielders to fill the shortcomings of the offensive advancement, and some people will choose to take the forward to retreat to the midfield, or the defenders will step forward to reinforce the midfield, change the team's overall tactics and turn the shortcomings into advantages.

Tactics, in the final analysis, whether it is a counter-attack or a big press attack, whether it is Barcelona's possession of the ball, or Chelsea's belief in controlling space, in the most fundamental things, are the same, they are the same.

When the head coach has a different understanding of tactics, according to the current situation of different technical characteristics and staffing, the tactics formulated naturally cannot be the same, which has caused the grand occasion of today's football tactics blooming.

As the most premier head coach in today's football and respected by countless tactical enthusiasts as the first person in tactical innovation, Yang Cheng, after so many years of coaching, his tactical attainments are second to none in today's football, so he can always know what kind of players are missing in his team.

And every time he wants to reorganize a set of tactics, Yang Cheng will first determine a concept, that is, what kind of effect this set of tactics will achieve, what kind of purpose to achieve, and take this as a premise to set the technical characteristics and requirements of players in each position, but this is only the idealization stage, and the next step is to adjust the tactics according to the existing staffing. …,

It's as if this time, what he wants is a set of tactics with enough possession, which can give substitutes such as Guti and Raul the opportunity to play their own characteristics, so he began to convert these players into technical characteristics in his mind, and then according to these technical characteristics, each position is similar to DIY repeated combinations.

For example, the organizer, in Real Madrid's 4231 tactics, the organizer is Xavi? Alonso, but in the current lineup, Guti and Granero are not the kind of full-time playmakers, so Yang Cheng put Xavi? Alonso's organisational responsibilities were split into two parts, one, to pass the ball forward, and two, to the two wings.

Yang Cheng handed over the responsibility of passing the ball forward to Guti, and handed over the responsibility of distributing the ball to the two wings to Thiago behind him? Silva, the Brazilian has a good ability to handle the ball and can pass the ball well, so he has put the Brazilian defender up front, and Elgra has dragged it off, and the Spaniard is also comfortable with this position.

Secondly, Mascherano's responsibilities were also separated, and the responsibility for protecting the defense line was given to Thiago? Silva, the first time to invest in the counter-robbery transferred to Granero, and even Raul also got a point.

In this way, the responsibilities of the two midfielders are separated, and Real Madrid can continue to keep the defensive line forward and pressing.

To guarantee Thiago? After Silva moved forward, the defensive line stabilized, and Yang Cheng let Arbeloa and Miguel ? Torres tried to avoid cutting forward at the same time, and his position was slightly closer to the middle, ready to respond to the defense in the middle.

In order to ensure the attacking ability of the wings, Yang Cheng used Mata and Ozil as wide raiders, and at the same time, he also put a Negredo in front of the defensive line, and the Spanish center forward even shared the task of counter-attacking on the spot.

That is to say, when a manager has enough tactical literacy, he can break up the technical characteristics of all positions on the pitch and reassign them to players in different positions, because in the midfield configuration, it is always those factors that come into play, as long as these factors are done, there will be no problems in the attack and defense of this team.

For example, open the pitch-wide lateral pass scheduling, open the offensive depth of the ball forward, and more subtle back to attack, and protect the back line and the 32-meter area...... Wait, as long as you can do this, no matter how you toss, this team's offense and defense will not have much of a problem.

Some people may wonder, what about strikers and defenders?

In fact, when it comes to shaping and changing, strikers and defenders are much worse than midfielders, so as the importance of tactics continues to increase, the midfielder will play an increasingly important role.

For example, Drogba, he actually shared a large part of the defensive tasks in the midfield, and after Yang Cheng imposed these tasks on Drogba, he reduced the defensive tasks for Gerrard and increased the offensive tasks, which caused Gerrard to score desperately later, and this is the reason.

Tactics, many times can also be seen as playing with blocks, you can stack them into the shape you want at will, and if you fall, you will prove that you have failed, and if you don't fall, you will prove that you have succeeded, it's as simple as that!

However, ideally speaking, if it really works, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, such as how to ensure that the players are tacitly running, how to keep the players at the right distance from each other on the pitch, so as to facilitate the team to pass effectively, which requires a lot of training and cultivating tacit understanding.

And Yang Cheng's sudden and large rotation seems to be a whim, but in fact, he has been brewing this set of tactics since the summer training camp, so his lineup was not decided suddenly, but a combination that he has been trying all along. …,…………

…………

Evening, September 15, Bernabeu Stadium

After 45 minutes of the first half, the opposing sides returned to the playing field.

The scoreboard of the Bernabeu shows the score of the two teams, 0:1, international practice, with the home team in front and the away team in the back.

Yes, no one read that right, Real Madrid were scored on their own home turf!

Almeria was honoured to snatch Real Madrid's first goal of the season, and I'm sure Real Madrid fans will remember it, as the arrival of a team that has not played each other in 16 years is a wake-up call.

Real Madrid played a strange game in this game!

These were the words of the on-site commentator, not only him, but all the Real Madrid fans saw it, because they found that Real Madrid was actually playing possession, and they were playing very similarly.

In the first 45 minutes of the game, Real Madrid had 67.8% possession, which was rare in the previous Real Madrid tactics, but Real Madrid had very few shots on goal, less than Almeria's seven on the counter-attack, only six, of which only one was on target, and the rest were anti-aircraft guns.

What does this data reflect?

Reflecting that there is a very big problem in Real Madrid's offensive advancement, the players are simply unable to effectively send the ball into the danger zone and then form effective shooting opportunities, so it can only be translated into individual performance and long-range shots.

In response to this, Yang Cheng made adjustments at halftime.

'There was no problem with your new tactics, we achieved our goal, we were ahead of the opposition in terms of possession, we were able to press the opposition in the half, and now we have one last step to turn possession into an effective threat. Benitez stood next to Yang Cheng and watched the referee blow the whistle to start the second half of the game.

Yang Cheng smiled and turned his head to look at his partner, "If we lose this game, everyone will laugh at me tomorrow, thinking that I am Dong Shi Xiaofeng and want to learn Barcelona to play ball control!" ”

"We have a different tactic from Barcelona!" Redondo argued.

Benitez shook his head, "No one will care about you, if you lose, it's superfluous to even tell!" ”

"But we need a spare tire, and we're never going to be able to play all over the world with a set of tactics, can we?" Redondo said.

It's something that everyone knows, it's just that some people habitually ignore it, like journalists.

After halftime adjustments, Yang Cheng asked Arbeloa and Miguel to make a difference. Torres gave Mata and Mesut Ozil some assistance, the wide passage was as open as possible, and Negredo's role in the box was played, while Guti was also positioned higher and Granero was slightly further back to link up Thiago? The connection between Silva and Guti, he can be regarded as a midfield assistant in Yang Cheng's tactics, he can pass the ball forward to assist, he can also put in the counterattack at the first time, he can pass the ball to the side later, and even help retreat to defend.

After more than a year, Real Madrid is very familiar with Yang Cheng's off-ball running requirements, and they are very clear about how to keep their distance and how to deal with their teammates.

However, Yang Cheng has a feeling that this problem will be greatly improved as the players adapt to the defensive pressure of Almeria, and the opponent's physical consumption is serious and the defensive intensity decreases.

So even when the team was behind for a long time, he still didn't make substitution adjustments, which made everyone feel unbelievable, and even the on-site commentators felt that Yang Cheng was stubbornly insisting on his mistakes.

"We have to admit that he is very remarkable, but in the first 60 minutes of this game, Real Madrid played very disorganized, they could not organize an effective threat attack, he had to make adjustments as soon as possible, otherwise Real Madrid's winning streak could have stopped at 16 games!" ..., the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu did not boo, but encouraged the team.

When the game went on in the 67th minute, Thiago? Silva facing fellow Brazilian Felipe with the ball? Melo, who was firmly stuck in position, cut the ball off Melo's feet and quickly handed it to Miguel on the right? Torres.

As soon as the Castillan youngster won the ball, he took it forward and passed straight to Mesut Ozil on the right.

The German youngster took the ball with his back to the face of Bruno, who was excellent in positioning and defense, Ozil did not choose to continue to break through one-on-one, but took advantage of his left foot, dribbled sideways to the middle, and after attracting the attention of defenders, passed the ball to Guti at the edge of the penalty area.

After Guti got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all, because he was surrounded by defenders, and the ball seemed to hit his foot, bounced up, and fell to the right side of the penalty area.

Negredo was on the left, while Raul was inserted from just outside the box, turned with his back to goal, chested Guti's pass to his right, turned, got his feet up, and volleyed!

The whole action is done in one go, like flowing water, very elegant and calm.

The ball passed under the feet of goalkeeper Covinho and rolled into the goal!

“1：1！ Real Madrid scored!! ”

Raul rushed out of the penalty area, waving his arms excitedly, shouting at the Real Madrid fans in the stands, asking them to cheer more violently.

The entire Santiago Bernabeu stadium was boiling and all the Real Madrid fans chanting Raul's name.

'A very, very beautiful goal, Guti's pass tore through the entire Almeria backline, Raul's stop and volley were also very good, it was a reflection of the individual ability of the star!'

But is it really just a reflection of the individual abilities of the stars? Really didn't work tactically?

Soon, Real Madrid reversed the statement with a second goal five minutes later.

The first wave of attack was Ozil's breakthrough on the right side, and then the ball was made into the penalty area, Negredo's shot was blocked by the opponent's central defender Juanito, and Guti's shot was destroyed by Bruno. Garcia cleared the ball out of the box with a big foot, but the ball fell to Thiago in the back? Silva's feet.

The Brazilian centre-back was in a very high position in the game, winning the ball and moving it to the left, where Arbeloa dribbled forward and handed it to Juan Mata, who forced his way down the left and crossed under.

Negredo competed with Juanito at the back post for a header, but the angle of the shot was limited, he jumped up and swung the ball to the front post, all the while like a cunning fox, Raul in ambush in the box, and after cutting in with a header, Negredo's ferry was once again smashed into the Almeria goal.

“goallllllllllll！！！！！！！”

"In 5 minutes, Real Madrid won two cities in 5 minutes!!"

"Two goals, this is an excellent report card for us after Raul returned to the lineup!"

"A very beautiful encirclement, Real Madrid after the equaliser, almost blocked Almeria in the half for a round of indiscriminate bombardment, the attack was wave after wave, endless, Almeria did not even form effective possession."

After completing the reversal, Yang Cheng made the first substitution of the game, and he used Xavi? Garcia replaces Elgra and leaves Thiago? Silva went back to play at centre-back, so Xavi? Garcia playing Thiago? This location in Silva.

In the 78th minute, it was Xavi? Garcia's inserted pass helped Ozil on the right side to enter the Almeria penalty area, the German shot skillfully, but the strength was not hit, was saved by the goalkeeper, Negredo made a supplementary shot, 3:1!

As the scene gradually opened, as Almeria was scored by Real Madrid one after another, morale was low and the defensive intensity was reduced, Yang Cheng replaced Guti with Callejon, let Ozil play in the middle, Callejon to play on the right, and then replaced the outstanding captain Raul with the teenager Bueno, and when the two team captains left the field, they were cheered and applauded by the Real Madrid fans in the field. …,

In the 88th minute, Granero in a quick counterattack, on the right side, a kick full of imagination, made the ball out of the penalty area, Negredo raised his foot to volley, once again sent the ball into Almeria's goal, 4:1!

Real Madrid, who scored 4 goals in a row, showed an unsatisfied momentum, this group of substitute players and youth team players who finally played in the league are now holding their breath to play and perform themselves in front of Yang Cheng, even at the last moment of the game, they are still threatening Almeria's goal, which scared Almeria's head coach into a cold sweat.

But in the end, Real Madrid reversed Almeria 4-1 at the Bernabeu Stadium and ushered in their 17th consecutive La Liga victory!

Even better news is that after the match, El from Osasuna? There was fantastic good news from the Stadio Sardar, as the match ended in a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.

The most pitiful thing is that Barcelona has 69.5% possession, but has never been able to break through Osasuna's goal, on the other hand, the possession rate in this game is also high, Real Madrid, which reached 70.5%, reversed Almeria 4:1 with the explosion in the last half hour.

These two games have become a topic of conversation for a while, and everyone hopes to find out what happened to Barcelona and what caused such a big transformation of Real Madrid.

The Daily Sports newspaper even issued a sad cry in the newspaper the next day, publishing an article with the headline "What to save you, my Barcelona!" The article believes that after 3 rounds behind Real Madrid by 4 points, Barcelona has just started the league and lost the opportunity to win the championship.

This also makes Real Madrid, which has been strong recently, once again attract the attention of fans all over the world!
