When you're facing the strongest opponents, there's no use in being nervous, all you can do is calm down!

This is the year when he just came to Real Madrid, followed Cannavaro's ass to steal the division, and after a bad performance in a game, the captain of the Italian national team against Thiago? A quote from Silva

A lot of people say, Thiago? Silva is very similar to Cannavaro when he was younger, with super anticipation ability, super turning speed and card position, but in fact, Thiago? Silva felt that he was different from Cannavaro, different from the start.

Yang Cheng has shown him a lot of Cannavaro's defensive tapes, he has studied Cannavaro's series of defenses from his debut to the present, and he feels that the biggest difference between him and Cannavaro is that Cannavaro is more aggressive, but he prefers to do moves without invading the opponent.

That's why Thiago? The reason why Silva doesn't have many cards.

However, some people say that this is the result of Yang Cheng's influence, at least from Nesta, who was still very aggressive in Lazio before, was synonymous with being trained by him as an elegant central defender at Inter Milan, it can be seen that Yang Cheng's pursuit and preference for defensive art can be seen.

Although there are many differences with Cannavaro, in fact, Thiago? Silva is also influenced by Cannavaro a lot, such as some skills and moves when defending, which have obvious Cannavaro's shadow in the later period, and also have some Nesta posture.

After being knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea last season, Thiago? Silva was under unprecedented pressure at the time, with a lot of media and fans putting all the blame for Chelsea's elimination on him, almost completely changing his life and his view of the game.

In the end, Yang Cheng stood up to block all this for him, and the Chinese said a word to him at that time.

"The cruelty of modern professional football is that even if you have fended off countless Chelsea attacks in the first two hours, after the game, everyone's eyes will only be on your last-minute mistakes, they will not understand your gritted teeth when you are physically exhausted, they will not pay attention to the mental and physical torture and pressure you have endured in the last moments, and they will not care about how good your performance has been."

"This impetuous world is like this, everyone is looking for excuses, looking for scapegoats, looking for an outlet for emotions, unfortunately, your last mistake will be infinitely magnified, and then go and bear all this!"

"Learn to accept it and deal with its negative effects, and you can truly become a mature top professional footballer!"

Thiago this season? Silva has improved a lot, and he is getting more and more steady, because he knows that in a hundred defenses, 99 successes do not mean success, but one mistake means failure!

If you want to establish yourself in a team like Real Madrid, if you want to show your skills on the highest stage in the world, if you want to make your name in the history of world football, you have to learn to live with it.

Just like Yang Cheng, he is also under all the pressure from the outside world all the time, and even he has to unconditionally block the pressure that should not be borne by him for the players.

Got it all, Thiago? Silva always puts his mentality right in every game, even if he is rarely questioned by the fans now, even if he has now become the darling of Real Madrid fans, he still plays with trepidation and plays diligently.

This is what he learned from Yang Cheng, and it should be the most valuable thing he has learned in the past few years since he came to Europe.

A lot of times, it helps him in key moments, it helps the team. …,…………

…………

When Messi passed Arbeloa, an anti-offside position was formed in an instant, and at this moment, everyone's feeling was to collapse, as if the world was about to collapse, because what are the chances of Messi missing this single knife?

But always keeping an eye on Thiago around you? Silva, but at the moment when Messi formed a single knife, he suddenly broke out to chase back.

Real Madrid pressed very hard before, which made Messi still about 35 meters away from the Real Madrid goal after the anti-offside, and Messi's dribbling speed was relatively fast at the moment of the anti-offside, but it was quickly taken by Thiago? Silva caught up

"Oh my God, Thiago? Silva's recovery speed is even faster than Messi!! The on-site commentators were a little surprised.

Because in the impression of many fans, Messi's speed should be considered very fast, but it was actually Thiago? Silva caught up, and there was a turnaround process, doesn't that mean Thiago? Is Silva faster?

As Yang Cheng said, Messi's speed is as fast as it is when he starts, and when it comes to long-distance sprints, he can't do it, and he will soon be beaten by Thiago? Silva caught up, and the Brazilian centre-back was positioned exactly against Messi's left shoulder.

Messi's habitual foot is left-footed, and his right-footed ability is also very good, but not as good as his left-footed habituality, and Thiago? Silva is right-footed, so he uses his right shoulder to push against Messi's left shoulder, fighting with the Argentine, and at the same time preparing to get his foot down.

It's his signature skill, tackling after the chase, and everyone who faces the Brazilian centre-back knows that he either doesn't put his foot down or rarely misses when he gets one.

Messi's body has improved a lot, but his body is still at a disadvantage, and his speed can't help but slow down, but his pace with the ball is very rhythmic and reasonable. Silva had a chance to get his foot down, but the left side was restricted, and Messi also realized that it was difficult for him to play with his left foot.

The Argentines also noticed that Pepe and Arbeloa were also chasing back, blocking them and leaving them with no chance.

finally got a chance, Messi couldn't let the opportunity go easily, so when he came to the front of the Real Madrid penalty area with the ball, he handed over his right foot when he was on the ball with his left foot, and shot with his right foot directly at the edge of the penalty area.

Although Messi often scores goals with his right foot, he is more clever in the penalty area, for the simple reason that as a left-footed general, it is difficult for him to hit the angle with his right foot while playing hard, and his control ability is far inferior to his left foot, especially with Thiago? Silva is in a physical confrontation and at the same time in a fast movement.

Barcelona's first shot in this game completely turned into an anti-aircraft gun!

After Messi got up, when he saw the ball high over the crossbar, he was so angry that he clapped his hands hard and shook his hands vigorously, and he didn't know if he was annoyed or hurt himself with both hands.

Casillas had already defended Messi, and despite being an anti-aircraft gun, he jumped up, but did not make a move, and when he landed, he headed for Thiago in front of him? Silva gave a thumbs up and praised him for his performance.

Without his follow-up, Messi's kick was almost nine times out of ten, and Casillas was not sure to block his single knife.

"It's a pity that Barcelona missed a really good chance to score!" The on-site commentators also regretted Barcelona.

In the first ten minutes, Real Madrid was almost pressed and beaten, and finally found an opportunity to counterattack, and the anti-offside position was successful, but it was beaten by Thiago? Silva chased back to the destruction, which has to be said to be a very frustrating thing.

If the goal had been scored this time, it would have been a very different story for Barca.

"Real Madrid also seems to have noticed that the team is pressing too quickly, Raul and Casillas are telling their teammates, especially Raul, who is calling on his teammates to pay attention to echo, and the most important thing for Barcelona now is to adjust their mentality and don't be too anxious." …,

Yang Cheng was on the sidelines, and when he saw Casillas about to serve a goal kick, he made a gesture towards him, signaling him to stabilize first, take his time, don't worry, and slow down the pace a little.

Real Madrid pressed too much before, and the advantage was too obvious, causing the players to be a little negligent, so they were suddenly beaten into a counterattack, and now the most important thing is to adjust, first stabilize their position, and then slowly look for opportunities.

According to Yang Cheng's request, Casillas deliberately slowed down the goal ball and went directly to Ronaldo on the left, and the Portuguese gave the ball to Raul, who was immediately forced by Barcelona players Busquets and Xavi, and immediately passed the ball back to Thiago? Silva, the Brazilian centre-back then passed back to Casillas.

The whole process went down, and Real Madrid began to consciously control the rhythm.

The first 15 minutes were too fast and Real Madrid had to make some adjustments.

But football matches are like this, after Real Madrid slowed down, Barcelona recovered, especially Barcelona's midfielders, who immediately launched a crazy on-the-spot counter-attack in the midfield, forcing Real Madrid to move the ball as soon as possible.

This is also the tactic formulated by Guardiola, just like the first ten minutes of Real Madrid's game against Manchester United, the front court is crazy to press!

One of the main reasons why Manchester United can't do this is because Xavi? Alonso's ability to transfer the ball with long passes, but Xavi in this game? Alonso rested, and Barcelona themselves are very good at this kind of pressing tactics up front, so they can do what Manchester United can't do.

It is also true that Barcelona's on-the-spot counter-robbery immediately brought a great threat to Real Madrid, especially as soon as many balls were snatched down, they immediately formed a threat, fortunately Thiago? Silva and Pepe's centre-backs have been solid, especially Thiago? Silva, while Arbeloa also did a good job defending on the side where Messi and Alves were.

The situation in football is like this, you go in and I retreat, I go in and you go back, as soon as Real Madrid retreats, Barcelona goes in.

Yang Cheng saw Barcelona gradually recovering the game, and he reacted immediately.

"Let Aguero and Ronaldo suppress Barcelona's defense, don't let them press too much!"

As long as Real Madrid has Aguero and Ronaldo in front of them, two players with strong individual ability, Barcelona's back line will not dare to press too high, because as long as Real Madrid can pass the ball to their feet, your defense line is too high, and you may be blown up by the anti-offside position at any time.

But here comes the problem, Barcelona wants to continue their front-court pressing tactics, and the midfield has to be pressed, which leads to a large distance between the midfield and the backline, although it is not very obvious, but it is indeed a little disjointed.

"Raul, Juan!" As soon as Yang Cheng found out about this, he immediately said to Raul and Juan? Mata waved his hand and gestured towards them.

It's not easy for a player to read the space and distance in front of him and behind him on the pitch, either he has a player like Raul who is full of spirit and experience, or he has the ability to accurately grasp the gaps in the opponent's formation.

Gradually, Real Madrid's formation became very irregular, as Barcelona's tactics are changing, Aguero and Xiao Xiaoluo are in the middle of Barcelona's defense, one on the right, one on the left wing, the two have the feeling of double strikers, but the distance is a little far, lack of echo.

Barcelona's backline is a shallow position, Abidal is positioned higher than the left central defender Pique, Mata's position is exactly in the same area as Abidal, Pique and Busquets, and Raul's position is between Puyol and Busquets.

Raul and Juan Mata will move with Barca's formation, and they are both actively involved in defence, but as soon as Real Madrid get the ball, they move to these areas, as if they were two nails firmly between the Barca backline and the midfield. ..., although Real Madrid's double back and back line remained compact, they did not shrink much back, but kept a certain distance from the frontcourt players, and this distance was more clever, and Yang Cheng also kept adjusting on the sidelines.

How so?

Real Madrid's players are generally taller than Barcelona, which makes them have greater control over the area than Barcelona players, because tall players will have longer hands and feet, such as Ibrahimovic, the most awesome thing is his long legs, as long as the defender is leaning on the body, no one can expect to be able to break the ball under his control, because he has a large control surface.

Barcelona's three lines always have to be kept at a relatively close distance, and then run to make up for the defect of a narrow control area, so Yang Cheng let Aguero and Xiao Xiaoluo resist their defense and open up the distance between Barcelona's back line and midfield, because he knows very well that as long as the distance is opened, the advantage of Barcelona players' short legs will become a disadvantage.

For example, Xavi and De La Red, one is 1.7 meters and the other is 1.86 meters, if a player is standing in front of them and De La Red can defend him directly, then Xavi will probably have to go one step further before he can defend.

Don't underestimate this step, yes, Xavi's short legs are very flexible, but the problem is that you have to take another step the moment the opponent gets the ball, but people can already take advantage of your step at the same time, and insert forward, your forward step defense will not only become useless, on the contrary, it will also make you lose your position and help the opponent break through.

Of course, you can not take a step, but that means that the opponent can hold the ball as long as they have a certain technical foundation.

Therefore, in the face of Barcelona's almost crazy frontcourt pressing, the most important point is to pull out a certain distance, and then have a player who can accurately move into this distance, can take advantage of Barcelona's small steps to hold the ball, and can step forward or pass the ball out.

Yang Cheng was very impressed by the 09/10 season in his previous life, Mourinho led Inter Milan to eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, Sneijder is such a player, and he also played a pivotal role, and almost any team that can beat Barcelona has such a player.

Yang Cheng is now going to rely on Raul and Juan? Mata to complete this step.

The two-man midfield combination of Granero and De La Red, with Xavi? Alonso and Mascherano have different characteristics, and their long passes are not as good as Xavi's? Alonso, but both of these players belong to the kind of players who can play both offensively and defensively, not like Xavi? Alonso and Mascherano are like each other, attacking and defending.

Their tackling ability is average, and they have no advantage in terms of speed, but they all have a very positive defensive attitude, with a very high offensive and defensive completion rate, and they have a flexible one-kick shot, which can participate in the attack and organization at the first time.

Yang Cheng decided to let Harvey? After Alonso rested, he decided to use the combination of Granero and De La Red, and the intention was also very clear, to continue to ensure the contribution of the two midfielders in the offensive end, because whether it is Granero or De La Red, the single single pick is not as good as Xavi? Alonso, but put together a combination, you can maximize Xavi's guarantee? Alonso's role in attack, as well as filling in Mascherano's contribution in defence.

Of course, there are still gaps, but they can be made up by overall tactics.

So even if Barcelona began to consciously counterattack and play an offensive, but when Real Madrid adjusted and brewed, the situation on the field continued to maintain a stalemate, and it was not easy for Barcelona's attack to pass through Real Madrid's double back area, because the high rate of arrival means that the team's formation is not easy to loosen and represents the overall operation. …,

In a football game, unless there is an extreme scene, the head coach often does not make painful adjustments, because it means a complete negation of the strategy and tactics arranged before the game, which often leads to the players being at a loss, and more to fine-tune the parts and details.

The art of fine-tuning is that it often takes only a tiny tint to completely change the dynamics of the game.

After Yang Cheng's adjustment to the front court was in place, Real Madrid began to exert its strength again.

In the 29th minute, Real Madrid right-back McCone suddenly cut in, cut off the ball passed to Henry, and was forced by Henry to pass to De La Red.

When De La Rede didn't have the ball, he noticed Iniesta next to him, and as soon as he got the ball, he sent it forward, and the ball went directly to the feet of Mata behind Iniesta.

At this moment, Mata's position is exactly within the reach of Busquets, Pique and Abidal, and Iniesta has to turn around if he wants to defend, so to speak, regardless of the area, whoever wants to defend him has to move.

Juan Mata immediately stopped De La Red's pass, looked around, and as soon as he saw that it was Abidal on the left, he immediately chose to dribble diagonally towards the top of the arc in the middle of the penalty area, avoiding Abidal, but threatening the two Barcelona central defenders and Sergio Busquets.

The latter chased back, Pique stepped up, Aguero began to move to the area where Pique was defending, Puyol immediately followed, Mata scrambled to cross and the ball rolled to Raul's feet.

Raul's position at this moment is also very good, just in the middle of the penalty area to the left of the arc, as soon as he got the ball, Puyol was startled, worried that Raul would hit the goal directly, and immediately rushed up desperately, but Raul passed the ball diagonally behind Puyol on the left.

Xiao Xiao Luo entered the penalty area from the left side of the big penalty area, and after winning the ball, he directly hit the goal with a powerful shot.

There was a muffled bang on the spot, and this shot was full of power!
