Yang Cheng once said a sentence to more than 100 professional managers from all over the world in UEFA's coaching training course, which was cited as a classic by Kicker magazine, and was considered a new trend in football that all managers must master.

"The idea of fixing players in one position is completely outdated!"

There are many meanings that can be derived from this sentence, and if you continue to delve into it, you will definitely find the truth contained in it, as well as the current trend of football, that is, the pursuit of multi-position attributes of players, and even all-round.

He said from the beginning that when the tactics continue to develop, to the point where every positional detail on the pitch has been cut to the extreme, it will inevitably lead to a new wave of tactical thinking, which is to blur the position of the players.

So, in this case, how do you bring out the characteristics of the players?

Take out the strengths and weaknesses of the players, and arrange tactics for them to play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

For example, Harvey? Alonso, he is not strong in getting rid of it, but he has excellent mid-long passes, so Yang Cheng arranged him in front of the defensive line, avoiding the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and at the same time moving the defensive line forward and giving full play to his advantage in medium and long passes, so he played very well.

There is also Messi, those who carefully study Barcelona's tactics will find that Guardiola's transformation of Messi has a very important reason, that is, how to help Messi get the ball more in the front of the defensive line of the positional battle, Messi's acceleration at a distance of 5-10 meters is almost invincible, so as long as he can get the ball in front of the opponent's defense, then he can quickly receive the ball and quickly play his speed advantage to enter the most effective shooting area.

The same goes for Ronaldo and Sergio Aguero.

Previously, Marca newspaper conducted an investigation and found that with Real Madrid's better and better performance, Yang Cheng's 4231 that he insisted on in Real Madrid for 3 years gradually caused a trend in Europe, and more and more managers are learning from Real Madrid's tactics and getting benefits.

A reporter from Marca newspaper once interviewed the tactician Lippi, and Silver Fox felt that all this was the impact of Yang Cheng's redefinition of 4231, "He gave everyone a new understanding of 4231." ”

"In the Real Madrid squad. The four players up front have different characteristics, and they take on four distinct attacking roles, whether it's Ronaldo, Villa, Kaka and David? Silva, they switch positions in attack, so that each of the two characters can piece together different combinations according to the situation on the field, which brings great difficulty to the defense. ”

It's like this moment of the century derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, defending Aguero. and defending Ronaldo, those are two completely different defensive methods, and they can't be taken into account at all, so Puyol leaned towards Aguero, who was unmarked after Pique stepped up, and when Raul got the ball, he could only choose to save. But he missed Xiao Xiaoluo, who was diagonally inserted into the forbidden area.

No one defends, no one interferes, Xiao Xiao Luo stops the ball, volleys, very calmly, there is no reason why he can't score!

…………

…………

Originally, after seeing the situation dragged back to a stalemate by Barcelona, many fans in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium were a little worried, after all, they had not been able to win such a big advantage before, and now the advantage is gone. Will Real Madrid still be able to score?

The most fascinating thing about football is that you don't know when the goals are coming!

And the most fascinating thing about football games is that when every goal comes, you are surprised, excited, and excited!

So, when Xiao Xiao Luo's powerful volley, with an almost straight shot line. Place the ball from the gap between the left post and Valdés. When they entered Barcelona's goal, the 80,000 fans in the stands of the entire Bernabeu stadium were stunned for a full two seconds.

Real Madrid fans were surprised by the suddenness of the goal. What a surprise; Barcelona fans were suddenly hit by this goal, and they were a little stunned, just like the Barcelona players on the field. ..., from McConn's break to De La Red's pass, to the combination of Juan Mata and Raul, and Aguero's off-ball pulling, all the processes took place in the blink of an eye, fully reflecting the speed and suddenness of Real Madrid's attack, as well as disorder.

The more random the attack, the more pressure the defenders have!

"Cristiano...... Ronaldo !!!!! ”

Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats one by one, excitedly rushing on the pitch, rushing out of the penalty area, cheering for the Portuguese who ran all the way, and cheering for Raul who gave Xiao Xiao Luo a wonderful assist!

As Yang Cheng said, Raul's movement is very smart, his position to receive the ball and Puyol's distance is just right, the moment he receives the ball, Raul is unguarded, Puyol's first reaction is to prevent Raul from the front of the penalty area, so he saves as quickly as possible, but this also means that he pounces fiercely and loses his position all of a sudden.

That's where Raul is smart!

Sometimes you don't need to use brute force to kick the ball, but you can often achieve better results with your brain.

All the Real Madrid players rushed to the bottom of the stands and gathered together to celebrate Ronaldo's opening goal, although the Portuguese joined Real Madrid at a very high price, he has proved that he is worth his money with his excellent performances and wonderful goals.

Yang Cheng also applauded vigorously on the sidelines, he was very satisfied with the team's counterattack, playing beautifully, passing and off-ball response, which effectively pulled Barcelona's defense and caused the difficulty of defense.

"Keep up with this style of play!"

"Don't shrink back, keep the offensive pressure on Barcelona, give me their counterattack back!"

Yang Cheng shouted the game task on the sidelines, and he didn't care about the Barcelona players around him, nor did he worry about being heard by Guardiola, because he wasn't worried about being heard at all.

Because he really wants to see Barcelona and Real Madrid play against each other!

…………

…………

Pep Guardiola frowned and watched the game.

Having conceded 1 goal, he was actually not unprepared, he had prepared for the worst before the game, and he was even ready to concede the opening goal, so he also set up for this situation.

After the restart, the Barcelona players also followed Guardiola's pre-match arrangement, passed the ball to their backfield, slowly controlled the ball, and stabilized the rhythm first.

However, Real Madrid took the initiative to press out, launching counter-robberies and harassment in the midfield, and the back line also pressed out. Directly pressed Barcelona in the half, hoping to break the ball as soon as possible.

Pique couldn't stand Aguero's harassment and kicked the ball out of the way, and Ibrahimovic leaned on Pepe with his body to stop the ball.

Indeed, the Swede's height is a very threatening pressure on Real Madrid's backline, and as soon as he stops the ball, Messi will rush. Ibrahimovic passes the ball out, but Thiago? Silva suddenly stepped forward.

The Brazilian was really fast, and he grabbed the ball before Messi and stabbed the ball to Granero, who was chasing after Messi.

Granero passed to Arbeloa, who played a long ball and passed the ball to Raul, who ran out of space on the left. Raul shifted the ball to Ronaldo's feet, but the Portuguese was restrained by Puyol as he advanced with the ball and had to take a long-range shot before he could get into dangerous range, only to be saved by Valdés.

But just over a minute, McCone played the ball past Juan Mata, who dribbled in from the flanks to attract Abidal. Passing the ball to Pique, Pique wanted to break the ball, but Aguero kicked the ball forward one step ahead of him, accelerated to catch up, and a shot from around 10 meters in the box was saved by Valdés again. ..., followed by a Real Madrid corner that was headed out of the box by Puyol, before De La Red's long-range shot went high.

Next to the pitch, Pep Guardiola also noticed that Real Madrid's offensive was gradually improving, and their defence was already in place. Barcelona played passively. Suppressed everywhere and unable to pass the ball out effectively.

Ibrahimovic is a good fulcrum. But Real Madrid did a good job of defending around the front or preventing Ibrahimovic from turning, but it was the cooperation of Ibrahimovic and Messi and Henry that only worked when Ibrahimovic was in a position, and once he retreated to get the ball, or pulled the side to get the ball, it was easy to overlap with Henry and Messi.

Although it has been less than a season since joining Barcelona, the nickname of Ibrahimovic [Messi Terminator] is not taken randomly.

Guardiola himself is also very clear that in the face of Real Madrid's derby of the century, Barcelona has lagged behind from the beginning on the psychological level, and the player's mood cannot be calm, especially after conceding the goal, Busquets, Messi and other players seem nervous and anxious, and even a little impatient, which makes Barcelona's mistakes increase a lot.

Also, Real Madrid's restraint has had a huge impact on Barcelona, and the movement of Raul and Juan Mata is always blocked in the area between the Barca back line and the midfield, which makes the distance between the midfield and the back line too large and somewhat disjointed.

Now it's a dilemma for Pep Guardiola.

To keep the three lines compact and orderly, there are no more than two options, the back line pressing forward and the front players retracting.

If it is the former, it is too risky in the current situation where Real Madrid's offensive is so fierce and the speed and counterattack of Real Madrid players are so sharp, but if it is the latter, retracting the frontcourt players, it means that Barcelona will play a rigid defense tactic similar to Chelsea, and the field will become extremely passive, which is what Guardiola does not want to see.

Both options can be said to have pros and cons, and both are very risky.

If fans who often watch the game will notice, many times the discerning people know that the team is passive, but the head coach still does not make appropriate adjustments, because the managers who are on the scene know very well in their hearts that all choices are dilemmas.

In the final analysis, strength and tactics are restrained, which is difficult to turn over!

Of course, Real Madrid's tactics cannot be invincible, nor will they be flawless, but there are not many teams that can restrain Real Madrid today, and Chelsea is the best at it, but Mourinho's rigid tactics are something that Barcelona is unwilling to accept.

The difference in overall strength almost made Guardiola unable to think of any way but to continue watching the game.

…………

…………

After Real Madrid's goal, the game seemed to be back to the opening stage, and Real Madrid once again pressed Barcelona for a round of beatings and beatings.

But now Real Madrid, who have one goal in hand, is playing more patiently and smarter.

In the 43rd minute, Thiago? Silva made a long pass and sent the ball to the right side of Barcelona, that is, the left side of Real Madrid.

When Ronaldo took the ball to Barcelona's penalty area, Puyol returned to the defense and he was stuck on the road where Ronaldo cut into the penalty area, but the Portuguese suddenly made a sharp stop and then suddenly accelerated. He shook off half of Puyol's body and crossed the ball with his feet.

The ball went past Puyol's foot, not high, and soon landed, just in front of the left-hand post, while Aguero, who had been plugged in with Ronaldo all the way, drove straight into the bottom right corner of the net.

It wasn't until the referee had blown the whistle that the goal was valid, and the returning Pique chased after Aguero.

The whole Bernabeu is completely boiling! ..., all the Real Madrid fans excitedly shouted Aguero's name!

The man has just agreed a contract extension with the club. The Argentine striker, who refused to be poached by Barcelona, completely sent Barcelona to a dead end with a goal!

"2:0, Real Madrid scored again in the 43rd minute, Barcelona's situation is already very dangerous!!"

The on-site commentators didn't think about the situation of the game, at least they originally thought. Real Madrid, who is fighting on two fronts, should be very tired, even if they are on the bench, they should have a gap with Barcelona in terms of strength, and no matter what, they may just be neck and neck.

But judging from the process of the game, Real Madrid's tactics completely suppressed Barcelona's play, especially Yang Cheng's fine-tuning, which brought a devastating disaster to Barcelona and occupied an absolute advantage in the Bernabeu!

That's the gap!

Not only the gap in the overall strength of the team, but also the gap in the team's tactics!

In the face of such a gap. Pep Guardiola has nothing to do!

"The first half of the game is coming to an end, Barcelona must take advantage of the 15 minutes of halftime to find a way to restrain Real Madrid as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to play in the second half, and it is likely that they will continue to be suppressed by Real Madrid."

While the on-site commentator was speaking, the referee also officially blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Real Madrid went into the break with a score of 2:0.

…………

…………

"You're going to be a big part of the team's offense and play a central role!"

In the away dressing room at the Bernabeu. Eevee hung her head. Sweat dripped down his long hair onto the floor, drowning in the noisy locker room. A lot of Barcelona players were complaining to each other about what happened during the first half.

Henry was complaining that Messi didn't pass the ball to him because he ran out of a good position; Messi was complaining that his teammates weren't feeding him enough shells; The defenders are complaining about the two goals conceded and passing the buck to each other.

There was a lot of confusion in the dressing room, with only a handful of players, including Ibrahimovic, not involved.

The Swede hung his head and gasped, but the first time Guardiola met him when he first joined the team was a remark to him, which in his eyes represented the manager's expectations and commitment to him.

Once, he had high expectations for his trip to Barcelona, because he knew that on a big platform like Barcelona, it was more likely to win the top honor like the Ballon d'Or, and he never dreamed that such a nightmare would await him.

Did he perform poorly? Not too bad!

Guardiola has repeatedly privately told Ibrahimovic that Barcelona can play the current tactics, and he has indelible credit and sacrifice, but when the media criticized Ibrahimovic and even tried it, Guardiola did not defend Ibrahimovic, but chose to protect Messi.

Why do so many people call Ibrahimovic the Messi Terminator?

It is because Guardiola consciously made Messi a pseudo-center forward, he asked Ibrahimovic to run with Messi in his tactics, and he asked Ibrahimovic to increase frontcourt pressing and increase more running.

But the question is, can Ibu do it?

"In the 26th minute, I had already gestured to you, why did you still run into the box?"

Messi didn't know when, walked up to Ibrahimovic and asked coldly.

"Don't you know that you and I ran and missed an offensive opportunity in vain?"

Don't look at the Argentine's small size, but when questioned, it is loud and imposing.

It is no wonder that he is the number one star in the Barcelona team, a child of his own, after the departure of Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o, and after Xavi and Iniesta have become accustomed to serving Messi, he is the team's rightful number one star, with a series of privileges. ..., Guardiola has said many times that all of Barcelona's attacks revolve around Messi!

"What about shooting instead of passing when I'm in a better position than you?" Eevee looked up and asked, he wasn't a good stubble either.

As early as the game, Ibrahimovic had complained about Messi because he was in a better position, but the Argentine chose to fire himself, which turned into an anti-aircraft gun, which annoyed Ibrahimovic.

In his opinion, he serves Messi, so should Messi also be reciprocated?

Frankly speaking, for Ibrahimovic, who has always played self-centeredly, he is willing to put down his body, make a ball for Messi, and pull the defense for Messi, which is already a rare thing, but Messi is not grateful for this at all, but still takes it for granted.

If it were Henry, he would choose to accept it, the situation is stronger than people, Messi's strength and potential are Barcelona's undisputed brother, coupled with the support of Barcelona's management and coaching staff, he does have a series of privileges.

But Ibrahimovic was originally a thorn, and Ibrahimovic, who has always been known as an arrogant maniac and a big mouth, is not as good as his style of play at all, especially now that Barcelona is lagging behind, he is doing nothing and is on fire.

"I chose to shoot because I felt like I was sure to score!" Messi glared at Ibrahimovic, who was talking back.

Ibrahimovic suddenly stood up, and his burly body completely covered Messi at once, especially his angry appearance, which made everyone in the entire locker room look over, "Your so-called grasp, but fucking shot the ball into the stands, and your fucking grasp is to waste the opportunities we created for you again and again!" ”

"I came to Barcelona to play football, not to be a stepping stone for some privileged people!" Ibrahimovic pointed at Messi and yelled word by word.

Puyol, Pique and others rushed up as soon as possible, for fear that Ibrahimovic would accidentally beat Messi and immediately block between them.

And Guardiola, who had just pushed open the door of the dressing room, looked at the two people in front of him who were almost moving, full of gunpowder, with grim expressions as if it was the end of the world, but he couldn't say a word!
