778 Nuclear Arsenal
For any team, the health of the players is more important than anything else
During the intensive schedule, what Yang Cheng was most afraid of seeing was the red text on the player's physical examination report sent by the team doctor led by Chris early every morning, which represented injury.
It is impossible for every team to eliminate injuries, and no matter how scientific and rigorous the physical examination system is, it is impossible to detect everything in the mysterious players' bodies, because the athletes' bodies are very strong, but on the contrary, they are more sensitive than anything else.
Just like the report that Yang Cheng saw in his hand, in addition to the situation of several injured players in the team, there was also the situation of Xiao Xiaoluo, who also arrived at the training base an hour early and was treated by the team doctor, with edema of his right ankle.
"During his time at Liverpool, he had surgery on his right ankle, and two pieces of cartilage in his right ankle were declosed, which caused his right ankle to become repeatedly inflamed, and finally our research center was responsible for the operation, which was very successful, and now the edema site is also in the right ankle, I did an MRI on him, and the problem is not big." Chris said.
Xiao Xiaoluo's edema was discovered by himself last night, and the situation had been good before, he had been injured before, but the muscle problem had been solved, but now there is a right ankle edema, which is really a disaster.
The Portuguese is physically strong, but Yang Cheng has never made him strong to the point of being perverted in his previous life, but has kept it within a reasonable range, allowing him to maintain the agility of his muscles in order to perform his gorgeous technical moves on the court, and ensure his confrontation on the court.
This is a good thing, but it can't stand up to overuse.
The head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, has repeatedly criticized Xiao Xiao Luo many times, saying that he has performed bravely in the club, but his form in the national team is sluggish, and even threatened to expel him from the national team.
If Yang Cheng is still restrained with the Portuguese in Real Madrid, then from the four weeks of the national team match in September, whether it is a friendly match or an official match, Xiao Xiao Luo has played all 90 minutes of the game, which is a bit too much, which directly led to Xiao Xiao Luo coming back from the national team with an injury.
"Do you need surgery?". Yang Cheng asked.
This is the worst-case scenario, and it is unknown how long the injury will last once the surgery is performed.
"No, but it's definitely going to take a break for a while, at least two weeks!" Chris said, "We will formulate a detailed physical rehabilitation training for him to help him recover and adjust his physical condition, whether he can catch up with the derby of the century with Barcelona, it's hard to say!" "He is not absolutely sure, who can say for sure about such a thing as injury?
"Without him, I can still win Barcelona!" Yang Chengxin was full of heart and looked at Chris, "Just do as you say, let Cristiano come to my office!" ”
Chris agreed to go, and it wasn't long before Little Luo came.
"I'm going to call Queiroz, you need to rest for at least two weeks, don't go to the national team training camp, stay at the club to recuperate, what do you think?" Yang Cheng asked in a calm tone.
Seeing Xiao Xiaoluo's embarrassment, Yang Cheng nodded and said: "I will release the news directly to the outside world, just say that you may have surgery, and then I will call Queiroz, he doesn't dare not give me face!" ”
After a pause, Yang Cheng sighed: "There are some things that I can't say to you as a Real Madrid player, but I still want to tell you in a private capacity, it's not a good word, do you listen to it?" ”
Xiao Xiao Luo raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng, this is the head coach he respects the most, and he even respects him like a father, so he nodded without hesitation. "It's a young man's way to be aggressive and competitive, I know who you are, I know your character, you want to do your best, Queiroz scolds you for ignoring the interests of the country for money, and the fans follow suit, so you have to prove it to them, it's all wrong, I understand your feelings, but you shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself." ”
"You're not fit to be captain, Cristiano, you've got the quality, you're famous, you're influential, but the pressure of the captain will keep you from playing your best on the pitch!" Yang Cheng said earnestly.
Raul is the best proof of this, the pressure of the captain has completely turned the spiritual golden boy into the engineer player he is today, he gave almost everything to Real Madrid, including his talent, including his professional future, because he loves Real Madrid and is willing to give everything for Real Madrid.
But on the other hand, Real Madrid did not give him enough protection in the most important three years of Raul's career, and put too much pressure on him, resulting in him never being able to return to his glorious past, so Yang Cheng said that Real Madrid owed Raul.
Now Queiroz's abacus is also fine, the team's number one star is the captain, the performance is good, of course, the performance is not good, the fans will have an outlet, Yang Cheng has never felt that Queiroz is a trustworthy manager, he is the second in Manchester United, his strength, character, ability, will always be a second!
"Of course, the decision is yours, I'm just saying what I think and what I think, but for the next two weeks, if you stay in the team and rest, I'll call Queiroz!" Yang Cheng spoke in the tone of Real Madrid's head coach again.
Xiao Xiaoluo nodded and stood up, he knew that Queiroz never cared about himself, that old guy cared about how long he could be in the position of Portugal head coach, he had always thought about coaching independently to create a record, but he never did anything, before Real Madrid, now it has become the Portuguese national team.
And Yang Cheng's words just now, especially the last paragraph, although they sound uncomfortable, they are actually real anti-ear advice, because he really thinks about Xiao Xiaoluo.
Not everyone's personality is suitable for being a captain, some people are born with that kind of big heart, and they have that kind of boldness to be a captain, but some people don't, such as Ramos, this kid should be born a captain, but Raul, Casillas and others are not suitable, of course, it does not mean that unsuitable means unqualified, these are two concepts.
Don't you think it's unreasonable to let a helpless scholar do coolies?
"Thank you, Chief, I'll think about it!" Xiao Xiao Luo nodded.
"During the national team competition, take a good rest and take a vacation, make yourself relaxed again, and preferably catch the derby of the last century!"
Xiao Xiao Luo smiled and nodded in agreement.
After sending Xiao Xiao Luo away, Yang Cheng called Queiroz, the main coach of the Portuguese national team, through the club, and deliberately aggravated Xiao Xiaoluo's injury, and conveyed it to Queiroz to tell him that Xiao Xiao Luo would not be able to participate in the next two weeks of training for the Portuguese national team.
Queiroz is Ferguson's old subordinate, and he is a little short when facing Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng is a cut above Queiroz in terms of influence or other aspects, at least the Portuguese coach does not dare to offend Yang Cheng easily, so he can't question Yang Cheng's words and agrees.
Real Madrid also announced on the official website that Xiao Xiaoluo had repeated injuries, but did not say what the situation was, only that the Portuguese superstar may be absent for a period of time, and it is still unknown whether he can catch up with the derby of the last century.
Real Madrid fans all over the world are also very concerned about this, although Real Madrid's bench thickness is strong, but Xiao Xiaoluo is a superstar in the end, with him, Real Madrid's overall strength can be greatly improved, especially in the face of Barcelona who have bitten so tightly with Real Madrid this season, and Barcelona fans are secretly happy. ..., but more people think that it is not a big problem against Atletico Madrid, after all, Real Madrid's galaxy battleship is not only a nuclear warhead of Xiao Xiaoluo, Yang Cheng has a nuclear arsenal!
Xiao Xiaoluo was absent from the Madrid derby, and Yang Cheng made certain adjustments to the team's offensive system.
Atletico Madrid's biggest problem this season is their defense, despite the introduction of Asenjo and Juanito, the quality of the defense has not been able to be improved, and the performance of the backline players has always been inconsistent, making Atletico's backline a big hidden danger compared to the strong attacking power of the front.
Atletico conceded 19 goals in the previous league and were the worst defensively in La Liga, having been beaten by Barcelona at the Camp Nou for a miserable 52.
In this way, Atletico Madrid is the kind of team that focuses on attack and light on defense, but the problem is that their attack is not as good as Real Madrid!
Yang Cheng has made certain adjustments to the lineup in this game, goalkeeper Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Thiago = Silva, Ramos and McConn, the double back is Xavi = Alonso and De La Red, the attacking defender is Mata, Kaka and David = Silva, and the single forward is Aguero.
Atletico Madrid coach Flores is very jealous of Real Madrid's attack and speed, and he also knows very well that although the central defender Pablo has a head-on confrontation, his tall speed and turning are disadvantages, and it is impossible to press up in the face of Real Madrid like against other teams, so he chose to shrink back.
He retreated the defensive line and placed it at the edge of the penalty area, and Real Madrid even retracted into the box when attacking with the ball, just like when Chelsea played against Real Madrid before, the purpose was to compress Real Madrid's attacking space and not give Real Madrid the advantage of speed, and he arranged the fastest and most flexible Perea and Pablo to partner in the central defender.
However, he obviously overlooked the fact that the double midfield of Santana and Raul = Garcia is not a little bit different from Chelsea's steel midfield.
And sometimes, this kind of careful formation may cause a kind of psychological pressure on the players.
For example, in just 3 minutes of the opening game, Atletico Madrid handed the ball to the defender Santana after a successful break, but at this time, Atletico Madrid had been pressed by Real Madrid in the 32-meter area, so that as soon as Santana broke the ball, De La Red blocked him for the first time, and after carrying him with his body, he stabbed the ball away.
After Kaka got the ball nearby, there were no defenders around, as soon as he saw the situation, he directly picked up his right foot, and volleyed vigorously, the ball crossed an arc and fell straight to the goal behind Asenjo, the young Casillas II stood too far forward, and Kaka's long-range shot hit the goal directly behind him, 0:1!
It didn't take long for the opening to score, and Real Madrid seemed to be full of morale, but Atletico Madrid became shrinking and couldn't let go of them one by one.
Yang Cheng after losing Xiao Xiaoluo, let Kaka take on more responsibilities, this is just now after the Brazilian got the ball, as soon as he saw the threat, he directly kicked up, he used to think more about making the ball for his teammates, but this game he has to become more active.
There is also the left flank of Marcelo and Juan Mata and the right flank of McCone and David = Silva.
According to Yang Cheng's idea, the left side is to attack instead of defending, and to attack and suppress Atletico Madrid's right side, but his right side has to be careful to beware of Reyes's surprise attack on the left, so Marcelo was very active in this game and frequently inserted attacks on the left side.
The Brazilian has the speed and skill to defend but his attacking skills are his forte, especially when Real Madrid are pressing their opponents on the pitch, and Marcelo's cross can create a frequent threat.
This kid kept saying that he wanted to learn from Beckham, but he didn't expect that he really made up his mind to practice hard and practiced a good cross, although he still can't compare with Beckham, but the accuracy is high, which is very rare at his age. …,
In the 28th minute, it was he and Juan Mata who went down to the bottom line after a one-two on the left side and crossed.
The cooperation and speed of the two are very block, after Marcelo broke through the entire back line of Atletico Madrid, there was no one to keep up with the marking in time at the right back point of the opponent, and McConn, who seemed to be suppressed by Reyes before, suddenly plugged in from outside the penalty area to stop Marcelo's pass, and saw Asenjo save and hit the goal directly from a zero angle.
The shot was almost close to the baseline from a zero angle through the gap between Asenjo and the right post, hit the net on the left side of the net, and fell into the net.
The sudden zero-angle shot even Yang Cheng on the sidelines applauded and clapped constantly, and a few Real Madrid fans in the stands of Calderon Stadium were even more hoarse, cheering for McConn's wonderful goal.
From the repeated slow motion, it is not difficult to see that Atletico's defensive position just now did not shrink into place, giving McCone the opportunity to stop the ball and volley in the penalty area, and also disappointed all the Atletico fans in the stands.
Although they knew before the game that there was a big gap between the strength of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, they could never have imagined that even without Cristiano = Ronaldo, the gap between the two teams would still be so big, which made them feel desperate!
After scoring two goals in a row, Real Madrid began to relax its offensive, Atletico Madrid did not dare to press out, and Real Madrid was not willing to waste energy to press forward, so under the command of Xavi = Alonso, slowly retreated, giving up some space, and let Atletico stand up a little.
But in the 57th minute of the second half, Atletico once again exposed a very big problem, Pablo got a pass from his teammates in the backfield, facing Aguero's harassment in front, he obviously couldn't entangle the small Aguero, and was caught by the Argentine and poked the ball away.
After Kaka got the ball, he didn't hesitate much, he went straight forward, and passed through the gap between Pablo and Perea, Aguero easily countered offside, probed into the penalty area, shook off the attacking Asenjo, and sent the ball directly into the empty goal, 0:
The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands spurted blood, they originally thought that the team had stabilized the situation, but who would have thought that at the critical moment, they would play such a low-level and interesting game, really thinking that they were the front midfielders, and they actually played ball control juggling on the back line, isn't this self-inflicted?
The boos of the Atletico Madrid fans and the cheers of the Real Madrid fans converged at the Calderón Stadium as if it had become a wonderful music.
Then Yang Cheng replaced three players in one go, replacing Kaka, Xavi = Alonso and Thiago = Silva, French central defender Varane replaced the Brazilian as the central defender, partnered with Ramos, Raul and Guti also played successively.
These three players are tired, and Yang Cheng doesn't want them to work too hard, after all, Xiao Xiaoluo's lessons are there.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated city rivals Atletico Madrid 30 away with three goals from Kaka, McCone and Aguero.
Barcelona beat Mallorca 4-2 at home on the same day, and the two teams continued to have an impressive record of nine wins and one draw, leading La Liga, but Real Madrid climbed to the top of the table on goal difference.
After this round of league matches, La Liga will be shut down once again for another two weeks of international breaks, and after these two weeks of international breaks, Real Madrid will travel to Valencia for a Champions League group game, followed by the much-anticipated Century Derby.
Such a schedule is definitely not a good thing for Real Madrid, because many players in the team have to travel thousands of miles back to South America to participate in the game, although Barcelona also has many internationals, but Real Madrid's damage is even more painful, because Real Madrid's internationals are all at the main core level.
This is a reflection of the team's fighting ability, but it also makes Real Madrid a veritable number one victim of the FIA virus, especially when the national team has to face a fierce opponent like Valencia after the national team's break, and then have to challenge Barcelona, the schedule can be described as torture.
But the game against Atletico also gave Yang Cheng enough confidence, especially when he saw the likes of Kaka, Juan Mata and Marcelo, who he felt could fill in the impact of Ronaldo's absence, which made him confident in the upcoming derby of the century.
The only hidden danger is the national team game, so he specially called Dunga, Bosque, Maradona and others, the meaning is clear, when you guys asked me to help, I gave you enough face, and now I also make a request, don't let my players play the whole game in the warm-up game, it's best not to play, or play half the game, and try to play as little as possible in the official game.
Dunga and Maradona have learned from Yang Cheng before, and they have also asked him for help, so this time they are full of promises, as for Bosque, they are old friends, and Spain has no pressure in the World Cup qualifiers, and they have also given a promise.
After getting the consent of the three of them, Yang Cheng was relieved, he did everything he could, and the rest was left to fate......
