When it comes to football tactics to stabilize the team, any coach is very ambivalent
Everyone knows that maintaining tactical stability is a necessary condition for the team's results and the basis for the team's success, but now that tactics are becoming more and more important and the opponent's research is becoming more and more targeted, football tactics are like sailing against the current.
But if you want to change and adjust the tactics, sorry, it will definitely affect the stability of the team, it will have a certain impact on the performance of the team, it will affect the results.
The most important thing for a good manager is to grasp a scale in this regard.
As an opponent, you can stare at my weaknesses as much as possible, but I will use my strengths to cover up my weaknesses, and then destroy and defeat you, and if the disparity in strength is like Real Madrid and Valladolid, then I'm sorry, I will destroy you with absolute strength, you can't resist at all.
Real Betis' overall strength has declined a lot after selling a number of key stars, but with the heritage accumulated over the years, this team is still a team to be reckoned with in La Liga, especially at the Lopella Stadium.
Given Real Betis' ability to attack from the wings, Yang Cheng brought on Arbeloa to replace Marcelo, the Spanish full-back who has been under pressure from Marcelo recently, and then opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 16th minute after cutting inside without the ball on the wing and stopping the ball in the box.
It was really a bit of a surprise for Yang Cheng, because this attack showed Arbeloa's good and solid basic skills, although the overall technique was very mediocre, but the victory was effective, from stopping the ball to shooting, it was very stable.
However, in the 39th minute, a long pass from midfielder Capi made a successful anti-offside position, and under Pepe's pursuit and interference, he forced the ball into the penalty area and scored with a low shot to equalize for Real Betis.
After that, Real Madrid attacked all the way, Real Betis counterattacked all the way, the two teams played in full swing, and finally in the 74th minute, Real Madrid once again exceeded the score for the team with a long-range shot after Ramos inserted, and then the score of 1:2 was also maintained for the team until the end of the game, and Real Madrid finally brought back a victory from the Lopella Stadium.
Barcelona's away game against Zaragoza, which took place almost at the same time, was also very difficult, with Thierry Henry opening the scoring but Oliveira equalising in the second half, and then Ronaldinho's goal in the 88th minute put Barcelona ahead again, and Barcelona also beat Zaragoza 21 away.
However, an interesting tidbit occurred before the game, Barcelona media reported that Barcelona was interested in Zaragoza's leading striker Diego = Milito, hoping to get their brothers together at Camp Nou, and hyped up the optimism of the Barcelona management about Milito.
Diego = Milito also expressed his yearning for the Camp Nou in an interview with reporters before the game, saying, "Playing for Barcelona has been my wish since I was a child, and I can even play at Camp Nou without salary!" ”
And his younger brother Gabriel = Milito also said that if he can sign Diego = Milito, Barcelona's offensive ability will become stronger, "He is the kind of striker who can create a threat anytime and anywhere, and can score goals!" ”
This round of hype made Diego = Milito perform very average in this game, and was warned by Zaragoza after the game, thinking that he was distracted by the media hype, and some remarks were not respectful enough for the club, Diego = Milito apologized for this, and Barcelona never mentioned the introduction of the Argentine striker.
Yang Cheng didn't have much time to pay attention to these things, because he went to challenge Lyon away in midweek. In the world of football, there are two types of players that a manager likes the most, one is a very smart player and the other is a talented player, both of which are the kind of players who can make a huge difference in the game when used properly.
Diego = Milito, who has been with Barcelona recently, is one of those very smart players, he is a bit like Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Many people wonder why Ruud van Nistelrooy is so efficient in scoring goals.
The reason is very simple, before he receives the ball, he already has a very clear judgment in his mind, which area of the goal he wants to send the ball after receiving the ball, and almost instinctively reacts that when the ball comes, he will judge which way he wants to send the ball into the area he wants, so his efficiency is very high.
Some people may wonder, why not wait for the ball to come?
The reason is very simple, as soon as the ball is at your feet, you don't have the slightest time to think about it, because the opposing defender will appear in front of you to stop you at the first time, and if you can't grasp the moment of receiving the ball, the first shot will be easily blocked.
Diego = Milito is also very smart, but unlike Ruud van Nistelrooy, he is more adapted to modern football tactics, he is not a killer in the box like Ruud van Nistelrooy, he is more like a fox in the front line, he will look for opportunities on the front line whenever and wherever he wants, he can not only score, but also play for his teammates.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's cleverness lies in his ability to create a threat as soon as the ball is at his feet, so the manager has this type of striker, and the tactics must first consider how to get the ball to his feet, and Manchester United did a good job in this regard, and Yang Cheng's Inter Milan are also very good in this life.
Diego = Milito's cleverness lies in his ability to be a stable but fast-moving striker at any time and anywhere, which is very useful for any team.
The two players have a lot in common, such as the fundamentals are very solid, they can repeat the same action almost ten times without making a mistake, and they both have excellent stopping skills.
Stopping the ball is a yardstick of what height a player can achieve.
The second type of genius that usually the head coach likes, but this kind of genius is not the kind of genius of Pele and Maradona, nor is it the kind of genius that is widely rumored by the outside media, similar to Robinho and Quaresma, because although their style of play is gorgeous, it is somewhat flashy and difficult to adapt to modern football, on the contrary, Benzema belongs to the kind of modern genius player who can attract those discerning managers at once.
The ability to hold the ball is very good, this is the impression that everyone who sees Benzema play will have the impression that he is different from Villa type, if Villa is a smart type, playing guerrilla then Benzema belongs to the kind of strong push type, he has a very strong running and ball protection ability, his excellent ball protection and ball holding ability, can ensure that he can hold the ball steadily in the most densely defended 32-meter area and then press the opponent's defense back into the penalty area.
I can get the ball within 32 meters, your defense line does not retract into the penalty area to form depth, I pass the ball behind me, how to defend it?
If Benzema only has this ability, then he is a genius at best, his real talent is that his mind is always very clear and calm, he knows what he is going to do at all times, he seems to be born with a good understanding of his surroundings, as if he is watching a video.
Why do all defenders find Ronaldo difficult to defend?
Because the guy who defends Ronaldo usually finds that in a certain situation you think he will do it, but when he does it, you find that he is completely different from what you think he is because he knows his surroundings very well. Benzema has also done a very good job of this, and whether it is taking the ball and turning around to hit the goal, or the pace and rhythm, he can do it very well, the whole technical movement is very standardized, the left and right feet are very balanced, these are his talents to become a top striker.
It's just talent, whether he can become a top striker, the key depends on his future chances and success
Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't have the ability to play the ball, or that you can't become a top player if you are not talented enough, there is no absolute thing in this world, just like last winter, the Argentine agent recommended River Plate's youngster Higuain to Real Madrid.
Yang Cheng gave Hidalgo a suggestion at that time, he thought Higuain was not suitable for his current tactical requirements, he thought Higuain's ability to hold the ball was very poor, but as a friend, Yang Cheng also gave Hidalgo advice, thinking that he should persuade Higuain to give up the pursuit of the ball and develop towards the non-ball side.
In fact, when Higuain joined Real Madrid in Yang Cheng's previous life, his ball skills were also very poor, and he was once criticized by Real Madrid fans as evidence of Mijatovic's black money, but later Higuain transformed to develop without the ball, and after observing players such as Raul and Vanney, he turned to the development of without the ball, which led to later success.
However, Real Madrid's current tactics do not match the characteristics of Higuain's future development, so Yang Cheng rejected Hidalgo's proposal.
It's not because he's prejudiced against Higuain, on the contrary, it's just a technical and tactical choice, because if you want to change the team's overall tactics for the sake of one Higuain, it's a bit more than worth the loss, isn't it?
After all, this set of tactics has been running in for almost two years, and it has been improved so much, it is not cost-effective!
If Higuain is a semi-finished product, only completed, and Diego = Milito is a finished product, and he has been thoroughly formed in all aspects, then Benzema is now close to the finished product, 7% completed, just the last step, so his performance is obvious to all whether it is in Ligue 1 or in Europe.
At least in the game against Real Madrid, Benzema scored again, but in the end he couldn't prevent the team from losing 1:2 at his home stadium, and Yang Cheng's Real Madrid had the last laugh again.
Every time he sees Benzema score, Yang Cheng will be amazed by the calmness of this player in the penalty area, a bit like Aguero, that is the calmness of a natural killer, with such a calmness, the shooting skills do not need to be good, but they can be completed vividly, which is better than those strikers whose shooting skills are so good that they are scum, but not calm enough.
For this reason, after the game, when Yang Cheng shook hands with Lyon's head coach Alan = Perrin and was about to return, he happened to bump into Benzema to return to the locker room, Yang Cheng nodded to Benzema with a smile, "Good job, Karim!" ”
If it was someone else, when Yang Cheng took the initiative to say hello, even if he didn't come up and talk a few words in ecstaty, he would at least have to respond politely, but the introverted Frenchman nodded slightly towards Yang Cheng, and walked into the locker room a little overwhelmed, leaving Yang Cheng outside.
If there is a only flaw in Benzema as a player of this age, it must be his character.
Being too introverted is definitely not a good thing for a professional footballer, because introversion often represents a certain degree of isolation and even eccentricity, which is not always good for a player to integrate into a new environment, and French eccentric genius Anelka is actually too introverted.
Looking at Benzema's back, Yang Cheng didn't care, because he knew that the French striker didn't mean it, but he shook his head with a helpless wry smile, turned around and walked to his coach's seat.
The second game in the league fell to Barcelona early Real Madrid day, and Barcelona relied on Eto'o's hat trick, Messi and Xavi's goals at home 51 bloodshed Levante, but the game was definitely not as easy as the score showed, at least throughout the first half, Barcelona had no way to take Levante. ..., one day later than Barcelona, the opponent won, and the opponent in this round is Getafe, who has excellent defensive ability, which undoubtedly creates huge pressure on Real Madrid's Bernabeu battle, plus Real Madrid's recent form has indeed fluctuated.
But in any case, a solid score is more important than anything else, and with Villa's goal in the 64th minute, Real Madrid beat Getafe 1-0 at home to maintain a 14-point lead over Barcelona.
In midweek, Real Madrid, who had a mixed line-up of substitutes, beat Racing Santander 31 on their home turf in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, with De La Reed, Sergio Aguero and Raul playing a key role in the Red's first-leg victory.
The score of 31 also laid a certain foundation for Real Madrid to advance to the final, as long as the away team does not suffer a big defeat, Real Madrid will not have much problem in advancing to the final, and in the other game, Valencia faced Barcelona, who also played as a semi-main and half substitute, and walked away from the Camp Nou with a score of 1:1.
But the hapless Barcelona were not just forced to draw at home and disadvantage in qualifying for the Copa del Rey, three days later, at the Calderón Stadium, Barca, who had 68% of the possession, lost to Atletico Madrid by 24.
Barcelona seemed to have reached a dead end, especially after the game, when Atletico Madrid's manager Aguirre faced reporters and said with a smile that he found inspiration in the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
"I think Yang Cheng's tactics against Barcelona are very effective, he really knows the team too well, I remember he said that the most important thing against Barcelona is how to stop them from passing the ball into our danger zone, so the focus in this game is to defend the danger zone."
'We completely abandoned the idea of battling possession with Barcelona, they barely had a couple of dangerous passes, our two goals conceded were flashes of individual quality from the opposing star, they had empty possession but it was difficult to make dangerous penetrating passes, which made it difficult for them to create a threat.
"In the past, Barcelona was very mysterious to all teams, including La Liga teams, and almost everyone was racking their brains about how to restrain them, but now, after a few games last season and this season, we have understood the tactics of this team, and for the manager, it is easy to restrain after understanding!"
A day later than Barcelona, Real Madrid took on Huelva away.
It was another team with a surprisingly good home record, but Real Madrid eventually took a thrilling win away from 31 thanks to a brace from David = Silva and a goal from substitute Raul, and then extended the gap between themselves and Barcelona to 17 points.
Seeing Real Madrid win Huelva, with 1 drop left in the league, Real Madrid actually led by as many as 17 points, which made everyone feel that this season's La Liga has completely lost its suspense
Cruyff also said helplessly in his column, "We can't catch up, the championship already belongs to Real Madrid!" ”
Rijkaard also shook his head in an interview and said helplessly, "With the current state of Real Madrid, it is impossible for us to prevent them from winning the championship, and this season's La Liga championship already belongs to Real Madrid, there is no doubt about it!" ”
But as soon as the words of the two came out, they immediately made Barcelona fans dissatisfied.
"In the current situation, neither as a beloved team legend nor as the current manager of the team, they should not say such demoralizing words when the league is not over, it is not only a desecration of the team's tradition and pride, but also a betrayal of the fans!"
"We can't accept that our team will be in the Santiago Bernabeu to meet Real Madrid, who won the championship early, and if such a thing happens, it will definitely become an indelible stain on Barcelona's history, whether it is the president, the manager, or the players, they will become the sinners of the Catalans!"
"There is also 1Even if we don't fight for the championship, we have to try to avoid humiliation instead of conceding in advance!"
The fans vented their anger in a crowd, more of which was sad about the team's incompetence, and even some Barcelona fans ran to the door of the club to march, under pressure, Rijkaard held a press conference, admitting that his words were inappropriate, and said that the team would not give up no matter what.
But unfortunately, whether it is the manager's inappropriate words, Cruyff's round of demoralizing remarks, or serious to the point of fan protests, this is a devastating blow to Barcelona's internal atmosphere, resulting in a 1-2 home defeat at home in their home stadium and in the crucial match against Villarreal.
The game also brought Villarreal back to the runners-up of the league, as Villarreal beat Barcelona this season with 31 and 21 home and away games respectively, so they can ride above Barcelona and move up to second place in the league with the same number of points.
Real Madrid, who played a day earlier than Barcelona, defeated Espanyol 20 at their home stadium and successfully extended the league points advantage to 20 points.
This is undoubtedly already an unattainable lead!
If in this case, there are still people who think that Barcelona can reverse Real Madrid, it will definitely be laughed out! Clear
