Yang Cheng has always felt that football is very similar to movies!

The main reason why it is similar is that these two industries are not only highly exposed industries, nor just because they both specialize in superstars, but because there is a great similarity between the two industries in nature.

For example, the film industry is an inherited industry, from the director's technique to the technical heritage, it is all based on the continuous accumulation, continuous progress, and continuous improvement of countless film workers, and then there is now advanced film industry technology, and the same is true in the football field, from the use of technology to the tactical formation, it is all evolved by continuous accumulation and inheritance.

That's why, Yang Cheng always refuses to admit that Real Madrid is the strongest team in history, because there is no comparison at all!

Without the sages, where would Real Madrid come from?

There is also a very similar point in the difference in the angle of pursuit.

Movies can be roughly divided into two kinds, art and business, if you pursue art films, then you must put an end to the impetuous commercial atmosphere, if you want to pursue business, you can't be too artistic, you must let the moviegoers have the pleasure of watching movies, for many people, these two seem to be relative.

The same is true of football tactics, divided into defense and offense, if you boldly press on the attack, there will be problems in defense, if you defend resolutely, the offensive ability will definitely be weakened, it depends on what your specific pursuit is.

However, there are always a very small number of film directors who have enough ability to direct a film into a coexistence of art and commercialization, and they have skillfully reached a state of balance, so there are also very few football managers who can lead a football team to achieve a balance between offense and defense, and defend in offense. Attack on defense.

This balance if you use it in theory. It's easy, in a word, but if you want to ponder. It is often difficult to grasp the essence of this sentence, and even countless people may not be able to grasp it after using it for a lifetime. And there must be enough strength as a premise.

Strength determines everything, if you don't have enough strength, you can only play partial!

Diego? Simeone doesn't want Atletico Madrid to play beautiful and wonderful football, but he knows very well that with the current strength of Atletico Madrid, with his current coaching ability, he can't reach this step for the time being, and playing defensive counterattacks is the most in line with his current situation. So he chose to play defensive counterattacks.

The strength is not enough, when he can't take care of the defense of the wing and the middle at the same time, then he can only choose the middle!

It's that big on the football field. That's it. Where the strength is, you can take care of it. I can't take care of it, what should I do? You can only make trade-offs, have choices, and avoid the important and light!

Many people wonder, then why can Real Madrid?

The point is that Real Madrid is the strongest team in the world today, they have a strong and unrivaled ability to control the game, they can decide how the game is played, how the situation changes, and pull the opponent, so they can get rid of this problem to the greatest extent, and unless you can take control of the game away from Real Madrid, otherwise, you can only accommodate Real Madrid to play!

Admitted, Diego? Simeone's tactics are excellent, and they are indeed very good, especially when he boldly gave up the two wings, retracted the two full-backs close to the middle, and pinned down Real Madrid's two wingers, plus Gabi and Thiago, the two deep retreating midfielders, brought great difficulties to Real Madrid's attack.

The attitude of the Argentine coach is very clear, and even from the beginning, his goal is very accurate, that is, all his tactics are based on ensuring that Real Madrid does not score, does not let Real Madrid win, it doesn't matter if you draw, if you can win, that is to earn! ..., can't say Diego? Simeone is conservative, his strategy is very much in line with the current situation and strength of Atletico Madrid, and he is in a position to fight against Real Madrid to ensure that Atletico Madrid dies worse than anyone else, so Simeone just made a very pragmatic decision.

However, it is clear that Yang Cheng is still not satisfied with his students.

……

"Rafa, do you know what the biggest mistake Simeone made from the beginning of this game?" Yang Cheng asked Benitez with a smile, although the game went on for half an hour, Real Madrid still failed to break the deadlock on the field, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but a little bit of a sense of victory.

Benitez watched the game and said lightly, "It's a little out of keeping up with us!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Cheng affirmed, "I said earlier that the era of fixing players to play in the region has passed, and today's football is about mobility, because flow means suddenness, it means being caught off guard!" ”

In Yang Cheng's view, the biggest advantage of Real Madrid compared with other teams in football is actually not in technology.

Seriously, they are all professional players, and there may be a gap in ball skills, but it is not as big as imagined, or it should be said that it is not really that difficult to build a team with ball skills that can catch up with Real Madrid, at least with Spain's youth talent pool, coupled with the huge manpower and material resources of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams, it is not impossible.

But why can't they catch up with Real Madrid after so many years?

Even, Yang Cheng dared to say arrogantly, if they were given another 3 years, they wouldn't be able to catch up with the current Real Madrid, why?

Not because of technology, but because of consciousness!

Yang Cheng emphasizes the most off-ball running, and smart off-ball running does not rely on non-stop running, nor hard running, but full of wisdom to move.

Sometimes you take a step and the effect is equivalent to someone running for an hour, so on the pitch, you see that some players are lazy, but they can always play an important role in the key moments, because they are smart enough to play with their brains.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not encouraging those lazy players, but expounding a very simple and easy-to-understand truth.

Real Madrid's biggest advantage is that the tactical system created by Yang Cheng can make every player smart to move according to the situation on the field, to find the opponent's gap, to seize the opponent's space, to attack the opponent's loopholes, which is Real Madrid's biggest advantage!

Running without the ball is not just about attacking, it's also about defending. But Atletico clearly don't have that yet. In other words, Simeone has been away from Europe's major leagues long enough, despite his years in charge of Argentina. But he's been out of the world's most advanced football for long enough to be a bit out of the game.

With Atletico's strength and level, Simeone's coaching so far is worthy of recognition. But he still has a lot of room for improvement and improvement, at least Yang Cheng is never wrong about people, and he is convinced that Simeone has this ability.

…………

…………

"We made a stupid mistake in the first half!"

In the dressing room of the away team, Yang Cheng used a tablet to show a running route map from the super coaching system, in which he pointed out the running map of the six players in the midfield, and found that a large part of the running routes were close to the middle, and there were not many routes moving in a straight line along the side.

'A lot of our players are running into the same area, haven't you noticed that their full-backs are shrinking down the middle?' Yang Cheng's tone of voice was still very calm. There was not the slightest excitement, it was more like asking and analyzing. "The opponent has shrunk the defensive line to the middle, obviously hoping that we will attack the middle more. If we follow their plan. That's what they wanted, so we're going to do the opposite. Actively pull the battle line, hit the width, and use the width to create holes in their defenses! ”

Yang Cheng's analysis, coupled with the display chart on the tablet, everyone can intuitively know what they want to do.

"Cristiano and Leo, in the second half you have to move more on the wings, since their defense likes to shrink, then let them shrink, we attack from the wings, widen their defense, create holes!"

Xiao Xiao Luo and Messi listened and nodded frequently.

"Kaka, De La Red, you have to be more aggressive back insertion, once there is a hole in the defense, give me a decisive and bold play, but several of you have to pay attention, once the ball is in the Atletico half, we can't handle the ball too casually, we made a few mistakes at this point in the first half!"

"David and Andres, your task in the second half is more on the wing, remember, press forward as much as possible, support the activities of Ronaldo and Messi on the wing, once Ronaldo and Messi complete the breakthrough on the wing, you cut to the middle and seize the loopholes they pulled out, understand?"

"Understood, Chief!" David? Both Silva and Iniesta nodded in agreement.

This is a very effective tactical play, because Xiao Xiao Luo and Messi are the kind of players with very strong individual ability, if they take the ball to the side, the opponent has to defend him with at least two people, and the defensive attention of the whole area must be on them, which is easy to expose loopholes.

In this case, David? Silva and Andres Iniesta then cut inside from the flanks against the hole, whether they are attacking themselves or planning their teammates to score, the effect will be very obvious.

Yang Cheng's round of analysis was immediately affirmed by everyone, because the head coach said this, the originally difficult situation became clear and clear again, at least everyone knew what they were going to do.

…………

…………

Sometimes, the situation on the football field may not always go according to the manager's intentions, and it is impossible for the manager to anticipate all the possibilities in a fast-changing game, which requires the players on the pitch to be flexible.

The best players must have this ability!

Just like this game, Simeone also guessed that Real Madrid would strengthen the attack in the second half, so their defense in the second half consciously strengthened the attention of the wings.

Yang Cheng was obviously aware of the change in Atletico Madrid, and he also realized his own problem, and immediately made instructions to Kaka, asking Kaka, David? Silva and Andres Iniesta pressed forward to create a distraction in the middle.

It quickly formed an effect, but it was completely opposite to Yang Cheng's halftime arrangement.

Kaka picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and that's when David? Both Silva and Ronaldo have pressed forward into the Atletico penalty area, waiting for their chances, which puts more pressure on Atletico's defense in the middle and on the left, and their off-the-ball runs completely attract the attention of the Atletico backline.

If you stand in the stands and pay attention, you will find that when everyone is deep into the middle and left side of the Atletico penalty area, Messi consciously stays in the right corner of the penalty area. Neither forward insertion. Instead of shrinking down the middle, it was Andres Iniesta's forward insertion that distracted Atletico Madrid's left-back Felipe.

If it is said that Yang Cheng's arrangement in the second half is to let the side pull the opponent's defense. If you create chances in the middle, then the situation is reversed, with the middle putting pressure on the opposition's defence and goal. Create opportunities for the wings. ..., Kaka quickly passed the ball to Messi, who went forward when he got the ball, and there was no defender within 10 meters or so of the surrounding area, and he could face the opponent's goalkeeper almost without any threat, and shot straight through Atletico Madrid's goal, 1:0!

The whole process is tedious and complicated, but it actually happens in an instant. Real Madrid pressed down the middle to create holes on the wings, while Andres Iniesta attracted Felipe. Pulled out a gap for Messi.

After seeing Messi excitedly rush out of the penalty area. As he celebrated his goal, Simeone slapped himself the forehead. He couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, he really couldn't figure it out, "Why did you leak out the right side?" ”

"The pitch is changing so fast, the Real Madrid players are so smart off the ball that our players obviously can't keep up and are pulled away!" Boggs was also very helpless.

If Felipe didn't follow Iniesta at that time and chose to continue to watch Messi, then Kaka would definitely pass the ball to the unmarked Iniesta, who was even worse after getting the ball, facing the front of the goal directly, at least Messi had to play an angle, and Iniesta could score directly forward.

"Real Madrid have clearly changed the direction of their attack and are no longer limited to the middle!" Boggs can also see it.

Simeone nodded, "Let them pay attention to Ronaldo and Messi, I found that they are both closer to the wings, and it is obvious that our Caesar has changed his attacking strategy!" ”

At the mention of Yang Cheng, Simeone couldn't help but turn his head sideways, looked at the away team's coach's seat, and found that Yang Cheng was just holding a bottle of water drinking, and raised the water towards him with a smile, as if he wanted to have a toast with him, but Simeone obviously didn't have this interest, nodded slightly, and was very irritable.

Atletico's players quickly adjusted according to Simeone's tactics, but once Real Madrid opened up the situation, the attack must be endless, sometimes on the wing, sometimes in the middle, as soon as Atletico's defense was pulled away, they were immediately exhausted.

For example, this time, Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi are standing closer to the left and right sides of the big penalty area, in the middle is Aguero against Godin, Kaka is cruising next to Aguero, Pereira looks at the Brazilian, and as soon as Iniesta gets the ball, Gabi immediately sticks up, but Xiaobai grabs before Gabi and stuffs the ball straight to Aguero's feet.

If it was in normal times, Godin would have someone next to him to help defend it, but now his teammates have been pulled out by Kaka, Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi, and Godin faced Aguero alone, and the latter turned around to get rid of the ball as soon as he got the ball.

The advantage of a small man is that the center of gravity is low, Godin wanted to suppress Aguero with his body, but he was played by the Argentine magic boy, and he stumbled and almost fell, while Aguero got rid of Godin, dribbled the ball near the penalty spot in the penalty area to form a single knife, picked the goalkeeper into the net, and Pereira, who abandoned Kaka's pursuit, was too late to stop it, 2:0!

Simeone couldn't sit still at this moment, and immediately rushed out of the home team's dugout, shouting at the players on the pitch with open arms, as if to ask them, how the hell do you bastards play? Don't you know how powerful Aguero is?

Soon, Simeone made a substitution, directly replacing the poor performance of Turan, replaced Suarez, to strengthen the defense in the middle, Suarez's position can even be said to be near the central defender, it seems to strengthen the number of defenders on the line.

With Suarez, Atletico looked like they had five players at the back, plus two midfielders, but they soon lost their hands again in the 78th minute.

David? Silva struck a through ball to Kaka at the edge of the box. ..., Kaka's position is also very interesting, he moved to the middle of the opponent's right-back Juanfran and central defender Pereira, because Juanfran still has to look at Xiao Xiaoluo, so the gap between the two is relatively large, as soon as Kaka gets the ball, he is about to rush forward, after deceiving Pereira to lose his center of gravity, the Brazilian is to take a step horizontally in the middle, directly kicking!

Kaka's shot came hard and urgent, the goalkeeper stood slightly behind, originally he also thought that Kaka was going to break through and create opportunities for his teammates, but he didn't expect the Brazilian to choose to go it alone, and Pereira was easily shaken out of his position, revealing the gap in the goal.

3：0！

Simeone sat back in the dugout, looking depressed because he had done everything he could, but he didn't expect to be frustrated by Real Madrid's three goals at the Estadio Calderón.

However, he can't fight back at the last moment, because Real Madrid's attack is still very easy, if Atletico Madrid presses out at this time, I don't know if he can score a goal, but the danger of the goal must be much higher than Real Madrid.

It's a very wretched feeling, as if you've been slapped three times, but you can't get it back, because if you want to slap him, maybe he'll slap you more, how do you count how you suffer, and you still suffer a big loss!

Not only Simeone, but also Boggs was also puzzled and surprised, because this was the first time he had experienced the quality of Real Madrid, which was completely different from what he had experienced in the stands before.

They lost, completely lost!

Because they made all the preparations, but they were still defeated by Real Madrid!

"Is this Caesar?" In the tone in which Boggs asked Simeone, there was no doubt before, but a kind of awe!
