614 is the most terrible power

It's still cold in Madrid in March, especially in the morning, when the temperature is only Celsius.

A white and black Audi 98 drove quickly from a distance, approached the door post before slowing down and slowly leaning over.

Everyone recognized that it was the car belonging to the head coach Yang Cheng, so the gate guard opened the remote control door, and the security captain Juan and the two members of the security team who were on duty with him all walked out and stood at the door of the gate guard.

"Good morning, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Juan smiled and waved his hand.

"Good morning, Juan!" Yang Cheng responded, but soon drove directly to the first team training area in the distance.

Juan watched the Audi 98 go away before retracting his gaze and sighed, "Those damn reporters, and those stupid fans, idiots."

Almost every day, Juan would scold like this, because he couldn't figure out why those fans and reporters liked to hold Yang Cheng so much?

Actually, it's nothing, after all, everyone has a different understanding of football, some people like to chase wins, some people like to appreciate technical and artistic football, and some people like to see the fancy skills and performances of football stars, no one can be wrong, because a person can only represent themselves, but cannot represent others.

Because, no matter how fierce the fans of Real Madrid were, neither Yang Cheng nor the club participated in it and took a fair position.

But everyone can see that Yang Cheng's current situation is very bad - not only Juan can see it, but the waiter in the restaurant can see it, everyone can see it, but everyone doesn't say it, but almost everyone will sigh secretly after Yang Cheng leaves, what a good person, is he really leaving?

Now Yang Cheng is used to morning training at home, after taking a shower and changing clothes, he goes to Valdebebas for breakfast, and then goes to the office to prepare for the morning training session, and also to study the next opponent.

Real Madrid's midweek opponents are Italy's Roma, a team that has enjoyed a thriving season in Serie A, and with Juventus relegated and the likes of AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina deducted points, Roma are currently second in the league behind Inter Milan.

The biggest change that Spalletti has brought to Roma is their set of striker tactics and a set of young Roma lineup, in which De Rossi, Aquilani, Mex, Vucinic and others are all leading the Roma team, plus Mancini Jr., Williamson and other powerful players, as well as leaders like captain Totti, Roma has played amazingly this season and has a lot of aura.

At the Stadio Olimpico, Real Madrid's biggest problem is that they are too obsessed with possession and technique, which leads to the team's rhythm being dragged down by Roma, especially in the midfield, without Mascherano and Yang Cheng using De La Red, which failed to form enough pressure on Roma in the midfield.

But Roma's advantage in this game was vividly played, and it can even be said that in this game, Rome used concise and fast cooperation to chisel through Real Madrid's defense, the most eye-catching is Mancini Jr., the Brazilian played well on the left side, especially after Real Madrid's equalizer, it was his attack after advancing with the ball on the left side, which caused Vucinic's goal.

But at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid will definitely fight back.

"Huh, so early?"

Paul = Byer walked up to the second floor, and when he passed Yang Cheng's office, he was a little surprised to see him sitting in the living room of the office, and walked in to say hello with a smile.

"Can't sleep!" Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and said that he had indeed lost sleep in the past few nights. …,

As soon as I lay in bed, my mind was full of upcoming games, almost every game was crucial, and every game affected a lot of people, especially the two games against Roma and against Barcelona.

"You always have to put so much pressure on yourself!" Paul = Bayer shook his head with a smile, this should be regarded as Yang Cheng's advantage, but it can also be said to be a disadvantage, the advantage is for others, and the disadvantage is relative to himself.

As the two were talking, they saw the Spanish fat man walking by with his belly upright, and when he saw that both of them were inside, he walked in, panting vigorously, and laughed helplessly at himself: "I'm so tired, it's so hard to climb a staircase!" ”

This sentence greatly relaxed the atmosphere, and Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"Ahh Benitez exhaled heavily, seeing that Yang Cheng had the tactical report on Roma that he had given him before, he knew in his heart that this guy must be studying the Champions League round of 16 knockout match with Roma in midweek.

Indeed, this game was good for Real Madrid, but it was also bad.

The good thing is that as long as Real Madrid returns to the home stadium and does not score for Roma, and can beat Roma, then Real Madrid will be able to advance, so this game can be said to have no choice for Real Madrid, only attack.

But Rome has more options, a more secure tactic is to defend and counterattack, which is also a major specialty of Rome, because they have conceded 23 goals so far in Serie A, but Rome's defense has a characteristic, either not conceding, often losing 2, so far this season, Serie A has been played 27 rounds, Roma has conceded 2 goals in 4 games, and the Rome derby lost Lazio a 03

In other words, Roma's defense is very unstable, and Spalletti's team plays more of the kind of small-scale cooperation that is said to have been learned from Yang Cheng, similar to Inter Milan, and because there are more Brazilian players and technical players in the team, their overall technical skills are also very good in Serie A.

As for the staffing, Thuram's suspension, injuries to Villa, Beckham, Salgado and others have made it difficult for Real Madrid's main squad to assemble, and it has undoubtedly fallen into disadvantage before the game.

"How do you want to fight?" Benitez asked with concern.

Yang Cheng exhaled deeply, "I'm guessing, how Spalletti will fight!" ”

It can be said that the knockout game is the most challenging tactics of the head coach, so even now, many people doubt Yang Cheng, but no one doubts his tactical literacy, because he has the nickname of the king of the cup. "The Bernabeu is different from the Stadio Olimpic, will he choose to defend and counterattack?" Paul = Bair asked with a frown.

In this kind of one-goal matchup, the second leg is often full of suspense, because no one knows how the other side will play.

Roma wants to eliminate Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, if they play defense, they must have enough self-confidence, and their defense line cannot be broken by Real Madrid, but Real Madrid is also a nerve knife this season, good when it is good, very bad when it is bad, no one dares to guarantee it.

Benitez smiled, "I noticed that in the final stages of the game, Spalletti allowed his team to press boldly and it looked like he wasn't very happy with a one-goal lead. ”

Playing at home, 21 leads, although leading by 1 goal, but giving Real Madrid an away goal, which is actually a hidden danger for Roma, in this kind of two-legged knockout game, an away goal is equivalent to a fish in the throat.

"Spalletti dares to play at the Bernabeu?" Paul = Byer thinks it's unlikely. …,

Yang Cheng and Benitez glanced at each other, obviously both of them were satisfied with the reaction of Paul = Bayer, "You must understand, Paul, sometimes the more you feel impossible, the more likely it is to happen." ”

After a pause, Yang Cheng stood up, slowly walked to the windowsill, and looked at the first-team training ground below, "We have no other choice but to win, in this case, it is hard to guarantee that Spalletti will not want to give us a sudden surprise!" ”

After the morning training session, dinner and lunch break, the players were called to the conference room on the second floor of Valdebebas two hours early, and from the staircase, first Yang Cheng's office, then the coach's room, and then the conference room.

All the players sat silently at the bottom of the conference room and waited, no one spoke, they were all silent.

They really don't know what to say!

Many of them must be feeling sorry for themselves in their hearts, and even complaining about themselves, because they will feel that they are failing the manager's expectations of them, and there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the current situation of the team, and they may blame their teammates, blame the coaching staff, blame Yang Cheng.

Quite normal!

If Real Madrid had had gone well, these problems would have been swept under the rug, but now that everyone has sentenced Real Madrid to death, the problem has been revealed.

Yang Cheng walked into the conference room with the coaching staff, he looked a little dark circles, it should be that he hadn't slept well in the past few days, and his frequent shouting in the past was no longer visible on the training ground, which made some players feel unaccustomed.

It's not that it's a masochist, but every day in training, there is someone nearby to remind you, call you, and suddenly it's gone, it's always a little unaccustomed, there's always a little nostalgia, after all, that's a good thing, isn't it?

"Tomorrow's game, I'll announce the lineup!"

Yang Cheng said lightly, he didn't even need to look at the notebook, turned around, directly picked up the ink pen and wrote the player's name and location on the tactical board behind him, and even drew the line, obviously giving a preliminary impression of the player's task in the game.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line from left to right is Marcelo, Cannavaro, Ramos and Arbeloa, the double back is Xavi = Alonso and Mascherano, the front three players are David = Silva, Raul and Mata, and the single striker is Aguero.

When everyone saw this list, they were not too surprised, because the current injuries to Villa and Beckham have made Real Madrid have to arrange more young players in the game, and what surprised them was Yang Cheng's tactics.

"Tomorrow, from the first minute of the game, Alonso and Mascherano will set up a barrier in the midfield, completely suppress the Roma midfield, and the back line will have to follow at least 0 meters to the front!"

Yang Cheng's words made many players present feel strange, because Real Madrid has never moved forward this season, because Cannavaro and Thuram are the kind of players who lack mobility, and moving forward means that the opposing striker will have more opportunities to play against offside.

This should be regarded as a gamble, because Yang Cheng has always felt that in order for his set of 4231 to fully exert its effect, Xavi = Alonso and Mascherano's double back must give the opponent midfield suppression, because their position in the formation is very backward, so if you want to play a greater suppression effect, you must move the formation forward as a whole.

The best thing is to let Xavi = Alonso's long ball transfer be able to threaten the opponent's penalty area! Another advantage of moving the defensive line forward is that he can allow the players on both sides to approach the opponent's defense directly when they get the ball, and then maximize the team's attack...,

However, because of the aging of the previous center-back combination, Thiago = Silva is not adaptable, etc., Yang Cheng has never made up his mind to try, and Beckham's performance is very good, resulting in Yang Chengcheng can't find a reason to take him, and now, he finally waits for the opportunity, he has to give it a go!

Of course, this is a gamble, after all, there is also a high risk of moving forward, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

There are only two results, either Real Madrid will blow up Roma, or Rome will blow up Real Madrid!

For a long time to come, Yang Cheng repeatedly introduced to each player their role in tactics, as well as their responsibilities in the game, as well as some situations that may occur in the game, such as problems such as being scored first by Roma.

After more than 8 months of getting along and contacting, Yang Cheng has a good understanding of the technical characteristics of the players, and the players are no strangers to Yang Cheng's requirements, so many details of both sides can be understood as soon as they are said.

After arranging the tactics, Yang Cheng walked directly to the front of the main table, did not stand, but simply sat directly on the steps of the floor of the main table, interlaced his fingers, placed on his abdomen, and leaned his back against the main table, his line of sight just happened to see the group of players in front of him.

Frankly speaking, there is still some distance from the best lineup in his mind, many media in the outside world are right, there are still fewer stars who have made the final decision at the critical moment, he originally wanted to get Xiao Xiaoluo and Kaka, but neither of them came, if there were any of them, maybe the environment would be completely different now.

"This ......" Yang Cheng wanted to say something, but shook his head with a wry smile, "Maybe you all know, there are fierce rumors outside, criticism of me, doubts about you, and even news that if we lose in the next two games, I will most likely be out of class!" ”

Yang Cheng laughed a few times, although he thought this statement was funny, but it was true that almost everyone believed it.

In the eyes of countless fans, and even in the eyes of many players on the scene, a Real Madrid coach with empty hands is not qualified to stay in the team!

"yes, I'm probably going to go, and then, Aguero, you're going to be sent back to Argentina as a parallel import, Thiago = Silva and Marcelo going back to Brazil, because you haven't shown convincing ability this season, David = Silva you might be on loan, just like you were when you were rejected by Real Madrid."

"The boys of Castilla go back to Castile to report, the pensioners are looking for their own teams to retire, the new manager will come up, he will bring a group of new players that he likes, and then you continue to scramble to adapt to the new tactics, maybe adapt well, maybe not well, and then sigh, March 7, thinking back to 2007 today, there was a fucking manager sitting on the floor and talking a lot of nonsense regardless of his image."

"It's so damn fast, right, in the blink of an eye, a year has passed!"

Yang Cheng's complaint made many people present think in their hearts, especially Raul, Guti, Salgado, Ramos, Xavi = Alonso, Cannavaro, Beckham and others, of course, the young players from Castilla, because they have been like this all these years

"You know I moved into a new house, the decoration is great, my indoor swimming pool is constant temperature, it is so perfect, I sometimes even fall asleep while soaking, but once, I woke up in the middle of the night and found that the house was so big, I was alone, quietly, although there were lights, but it was very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of night insects outside, and the sound of water."

"I had a voice in my heart asking myself, damn it, what qualifications do you have to live in such a big house and get such a high salary, why are you? Ten years ago, you were just a team that had just debuted and led a team whose name most of the world's fans couldn't even name in the Bundesliga, you were a fart! ”
