677 Breaking the spell

'We don't have to worry about what happened to Real Madrid anymore, there is no doubt that they are enjoying the huge advantage that the league leaders have now, they are a very good team, but we should not focus on them too much, but we should concentrate on every game.

"Real Madrid are about to have a devilish schedule of Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia and Sevilla, and we have every reason to believe that Real Madrid will drop points against these three teams, and what we have to do now is not to hold them accountable, but to think about how to win every game."

"A lot of the time the fans can't understand that our squad has improved from last season, and even from the two seasons when we won the championship, and so did our tactics, but with more players, more tacit cooperation and more discipline in the team, we have to play every game very hard, for the simple reason that the opponent already knows us!"

"When your tactics are studied by everyone, understood and restrained by everyone, you will find that every game becomes very difficult to play, which requires us to constantly adjust and improve."

"Another issue that needs to be improved is our locker room, we have to reorganize the order of the locker room, establish a set of healthy competition and orderly elimination mechanism, maintain the stability of the locker room and the team system, and find an effective rotation strategy, after all, we have to deal with multiple fronts every season!"

'We did well in the Champions League, although it was a bit of a thrill against Celtic in the last 16 but in the end we progressed and I and the players are confident that we can beat Liverpool in the last eight and reach the semi-finals!'

In Yang Cheng's office, while training is free, several people are watching the report of Guardiola's interview on TV, which should have been the Barcelona coach coming out for an interview, but now it is replaced by Guardiola.

"Is that a clear sign?" Redondo smiled and asked.

The replacement of Rijkaard with Pep Guardiola is already a secret that everyone knows, but it is not absolutely certain, and it is said that Barcelona are also in contact with Mourinho and his agent Mendes.

Having been overwhelmed by Real Madrid for two seasons in a row, especially this season, they are likely to create an extremely embarrassing situation, that is, to line up at the Bernabeu Stadium to welcome Real Madrid, who won the championship early, which has never been seen in the history of both teams, this is a scene that will be remembered by fans of both teams forever.

Mourinho is the second coach in today's football after Yang Cheng, young and full of jī feelings, but his tactics are a little incompatible with Sisa's system, but his understanding of Yang Cheng and the competition between him and Yang Cheng make him the coach who is the most promising to beat Yang Cheng in today's football.

Especially last season, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea eliminated Yang Cheng's Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

The draw for this season is also in, and with Real Madrid meeting Arsenal in the last eight and a winner between Fenerbahce and Chelsea in the last four, there is no doubt that the Blues are more likely.

Barcelona meet Liverpool and if they progress to the last four, they will face the winner between Roma and Manchester United.

"Mendes has told me about it before, and he even joked that I will meet Mourinho in La Liga next season!" Yang Cheng said with a grim expression. …,

Mourinho is definitely the coach who knows how to restrain Yang Cheng most in today's football, after Benitez was included in the coaching staff by Yang Cheng, Mourinho is the most tactically targeted coach in addition to Yang Cheng today, at present, Real Madrid's defensive system is still adjusting, and the offensive system is not perfect enough, which makes Real Madrid encounter Chelsea has a certain degree of risk.

If Mourinho really enters Barcelona next season, it will definitely bring a huge threat to Yang Cheng's Real Madrid, because this requires Yang Cheng to take every step of the way, and not to be careless.

"But Cruyff seems to be adamantly opposed to Mourinho coming to Barcelona!" Benitez said.

Yang Cheng smiled helplessly, he didn't know about this kind of thing, but judging from Mendes's statement, the contact between Barcelona and Mourinho was undoubtedly very deep, otherwise, with the character of the Portuguese agent, he would not make such a joke with Yang Cheng.

"Maybe it's for the grades!" Paul, Bayer thinks.

This season's record is so miserable, and Barcelona's tactical concept has indeed encountered a bottleneck, which requires Barcelona to make adjustments and changes, if you continue to use Cruyff's manager, the change will undoubtedly become very insignificant, in this case, Mourinho's arrival may be a big break.

Besides, isn't Mourinho also a manager from Barcelona?

At best, Barcelona fans don't like the Portuguese!

"We're actually about the same problem as Barcelona now!" Benitez chuckled, "They don't have depth on the ball, we need to dig deeper in the attack, and frankly, to the extent you say, who has more hope of winning?" After the Spaniard finished speaking, he looked at Yang Cheng.

Barcelona's problem now is that they have too much possession and too much ineffective possession, which is perhaps difficult to understand, but in short, they have more of the ball on the midfield line, between Xavi and Andres Iniesta, and both players are located outside the opposition's Migan area.

Therefore, everyone can see that once the 32-meter area is guarded, it will be difficult for Barcelona to pass the ball, and once Yaya and Toure lose their position, Barcelona will put Xavi and Iniesta in possession, and once it is broken, it is a counterattack.

Everyone knows that losing depth, too many horizontal passes in a certain level area, meaning that every time you lose a ball, it will achieve the opponent's counterattack, which is what Yang Cheng did when he was at the Camp Nou!

If Yang Cheng were to choose, he would not go from one extreme to the other, as some media and football personalities suggested, and he would not give up possession, but would increase the depth of consistent possession.

It's very simple, behind Xavi and Iniesta, arrange a stable point of the ball, Yaya and Toure are the most suitable as long as they keep their duty, but it really can't, Busquets can be on top, and the central defenders can also be involved.

But this is just to maintain the depth of possession, to play the depth of the attack, it is necessary to install a contact point in the strong meter area, Messi can lean into the middle, let the side out for Alves to insert the attack, and Messi's narrow and high-intensity pressing ability to take the tao and protect the ball, all make him a stable contact point in the team's meter area.

In this way, there are points to the ball before and after, there is depth in ball control and ball routes, coupled with the tacit cooperation of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, Barcelona's offensive sense will be improved many times more than now!

As for the depth of Real Madrid's attack, it is more about the destruction and torture of the opponent's defense. …,

They say that if Barcelona's attack is w, then Real Madrid's attack is QJ.

One

Now Kaka's position is more flexible, although this makes him more threatening to participate in the attack, more sudden, but the pull and interference of the opponent's defense in front, and the pressure exerted is not enough, Villa alone is not enough, so Yang Cheng wants to find another player who can torture the opponent's defense all the time, such as Xiao Xiaoluo.

Today's Real Madrid is not lacking opportunities, Yang Cheng's entire tactical system, can maximize the ability to ensure that the team can pass the ball into the opponent's intimidation area at all times, the key is how to ensure that the opportunity is seized in the intimidation area.

So, at first glance, both Real Madrid and Barcelona need depth, but the depth that both teams need is very different.

"Whether it's Mourinho or Pep Guardiola, unless they completely break Barcelona's overall tactical system, otherwise, if they continue to follow the current development trend, they can only set up a deep contact point, and as long as they do this, I have a way to teach them a hard lesson!"

Since Yang Cheng can think of it, then he will definitely have a way to restrain himself!

The football field is always full of all kinds of bizarre things.

For example, the dressing room spell at Cardiff's stadium is the spell of the Premier League's best coach, and for Real Madrid, the biggest spell is the Riazor curse.

In the past ten years, a La Liga giant, once invincible across the Europa continent, and the other is only quasi-first-class, not even first-class, but only in individual seasons of outstanding strength of Deportivo La Coruna, in the same league, every season to go to the Riazo Stadium, but Real Madrid has not won in the past 17 years.

What is the reason for this?

Is this really because there is a spell on this stadium that makes it difficult for Real Madrid to beat their opponents as soon as they walk into this stadium?

Definitely not!

Yang Cheng feels that one of the most important reasons why Real Madrid suffered from the Riazo curse is psychological pressure, which will make Real Madrid worry and doubt themselves all the time, but Deportivo La Coruna has a psychological advantage in this stadium against Real Madrid, which makes it easier for them to play at a high level, because they have not lost to Real Madrid here for many years.

In the past 17 years, Real Madrid have suffered too many disasters at the Stadio Riazol, the most famous of which were the two matches in 2000.

In 1999, Real Madrid challenged Laco away and lost 0:3 at half-time, Mijatovic and Seedorf had a fierce infighting, which made all Real Madrid fans disappointed with the team, not only the loss, but also the loss; In 2000, Real Madrid lost 2:5 away to Laco, and former Real Madrid veteran Victor scored the third goal for Laco to seal the win, but when he was sent off with a red card, he spat on Real Madrid's owner Sisans in the stands, which caused a huge reaction.

The reason is very simple, before the game, the media broke the news that Sans lost money in the casino and embezzled the public funds in the club's account to pay off his gambling debts, which was exposed by reporters and attracted the rebuke of countless Real Madrid fans, and Victor's spitting incident was even recognized and responded to by many Real Madrid fans.

This is not because Sans was too poor to pay his gambling debts, he was definitely not as depressed as he is now, he was a famous rich man at that time, but he embezzled the club's public funds to pay off the gambling debts, this is not just a matter of embezzlement, but the person's character, as well as his feelings and positioning for the club.

In fact, as early as the Mendoza period, Sanz was not liked by Mendoza, and he was later able to become the president, mainly because Mendoza was not in good health and retired early, and Sanz directly controlled Real Madrid through the board of directors as the deputy chairman, and the whole process was really similar to the process of Calderón taking charge of Real Madrid later. …,

If you want to talk about the achievements of Sans in charge of Real Madrid, in fact, there is really nothing to say, 5 years 1 La Liga 2 Champions League, the latter is mentioned by countless people, but to see how the two Champions League was won, almost all of them are the credit of the head coach, whether it is the first Heynckes, or the second Bosque, it is the same.

When Real Madrid defeated Juventus in the final, the whole world was amazed that Real Madrid had an upset, as for Bosque from the firefighting coach to play a half-season legend, save Real Madrid's league crisis, and determined to change the formation, leading Real Madrid all the way to the Champions League final and win the cup, it is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Bosque's career as a club coach.

It's just that people are very strange animals, because the dark three years of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship have made everyone begin to go to the other extreme, over-beautifying Real Madrid during the Sans period, but ignoring that he changed 7 managers for Real Madrid in 5 years, not counting Bosque's two firefights, the only league championship is still based on Capello's large-scale cleaning and spending money to bring in reinforcements.

But because Sens hoped that Capello could let his son play the main role in Real Madrid, put pressure on Capello, but the Italian coach thought that Sans's son was too mediocre, and the two often quarreled about it, and then Capello switched to AC Milan after winning the championship, and then Sens cleaned and reorganized Capello's old department again.

It was in this situation that the core of the Capello era, academy player Victor Freezerches, became a substitute, and switched to Racing Santander in the year of vomiting, and many people at that time were puzzled by this, thinking why he gave up Victor in the absence of a player on the right side?

With this layer of grievances, coupled with the various scandals that Sanz was exposed, this led to the scene of the Riazor Stadium and the Real Madrid youth academy spitting towards the main seat.

Because of the various experiences and accumulation of precipitation in the past, every trip to the Riazor Stadium of Real Madrid will always be endowed with a deeper meaning.

The 17-year cycle, the 17-year winless record, and Real Madrid's soaring progress in La Liga this season have made people have higher hopes for Real Madrid's trip to the Riazor Stadium, hoping that Yang Cheng and his team can help the team bid farewell to the nightmare of the year.

But before the game, Mascherano was absent due to accumulation of yellow cards, and then Pepe was also injured in training, which cast a shadow on Real Madrid's trip to Riazo, after all, the game did not start, and the first two big players were broken, which is definitely not a good thing.

What's even more incomprehensible is that Yang Cheng arranged 433 tactics in this game, and the back line basically remained the same, that is, Ramos was pulled to the middle to replace Pepe, Arbeloa played on the right, Marcelo on the left, and the other central defender was Thiago Spwarva, who has been very stable this season.

The three midfielders were a bit of a surprise, with Xavi, Marcos Alonso, Granero and David Beckham, all of them technical, while the front three were Villa, Kaka and Sergio Aguero.

From the very beginning of the game, Real Madrid's strategy was very resolute, Yang Cheng's team did not press as aggressively as before, but adopted the usual defensive position, but whether it was Thiago, Silva or Ramos, they were actively involved in the midfield pressure and receiving passes.

Kaka was positioned further down, while Villa and Sergio Aguero were frequently running up front, looking for opportunities.

Deportivo La Coruna continued to maintain the previous game strategy against Real Madrid, strengthening the midfield scramble and defense, and due to Real Madrid's midfield retreat, more fullbacks were used to attack forward, so that Deportivo LaCoruna's midfielder had to be pressed out, and the gap behind was played, giving Real Madrid the opportunity to fight alone. …,

In the 13th minute, after Marcelo stepped forward on the left side, got Xavi, Alonso's diagonal pass, went down to the bottom line and broke through the cross, Deportivo Deportivo central defender's header cleared the penalty area, but Real Madrid's second wave of attack was already in place, Granero stopped the ball on the left side of the front arc of the penalty area, and hit a volley with his right foot.

The ball with an arc went straight to the corner of Deportivo La Coruna's goal, 0:1!

After scoring the first goal, Real Madrid showed a steady side, especially in terms of ball control, skillful back and forth interspersed with passing coordination, maximizing the use of passing to consume Deportivo La Coruna's physical energy, and in the 40th minute, Villa broke through on the left side and passed back to Kaka diagonally, who passed diagonally to the right side of the goal after winning the ball, Aguero followed up and calmly hit the goal, for Real Madrid to go to the next city, 0:2!

The consecutive goals allowed Real Madrid to enter the halftime break with a 2:0 advantage, so that all Real Madrid fans saw the hope and dawn of breaking the curse of Riazo, but Yang Cheng still warned his players at halftime that they should not be overly optimistic and start to play more patiently.

Deportivo La Coruna's full-court pressing did put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid and made a lot of mistakes, but Real Madrid's defensive line contracted, resulting in Deportivo Lacuna's counterattack failing to play a threatening opportunity, but after the physical decline, the situation returned to Real Madrid's control again.

In the 82nd and 87th minutes, Real Madrid played another round of counter-attack, with Ramos and substitute Raul scoring for Real Madrid respectively, helping Real Madrid finally take away a wonderful victory from the Stadio riaço 4-0.

This is also the first time in nearly 17 years that Real Madrid has won at the Riazor Stadium, and it has also washed away the humiliation of the Riazor Stadium defeat last season, which has greatly boosted the morale of Real Madrid, especially the fans of Real Madrid, who are even more happy and carried away, chanting Long live Caesar, in order to express their respect and love for the manager.

However, on the second day of this game, Barcelona was held to a 2-2 draw away by Almeria, and the gap between the two teams widened to 22 points, but because Villarreal won, Real Madrid's lead was only 20 points! ))
