Those who know Yang Cheng and have worked with him know that Yang Cheng can achieve today's achievements is not accidental, in addition to because he has a group of outstanding assistants and his own excellent strength, there is also a very important reason, that is, he never despises any opponent, including Barcelona, which he has never lost.

Barcelona's game against Chelsea, many people find it very boring, but such a boring game, Yang Cheng watched it no less than 10 times, and everyone in the coaching staff and scouting department wrote a technical report to submit to Yang Cheng, and after the Champions League final opponent was determined to be Barcelona, Real Madrid held at least three tactical meetings on Barcelona's game.

All of this is unknown, not even the players, but Yang Cheng has done a lot of things silently behind the scenes.

It was a 0-0 game, which meant that both sides did a great job of restraining each other, barely giving the other side too many obvious chances to score, and in a sense, it was a tactical success.

In the technical report of Yang Cheng, the coaching staff and the scouting department, a very important reason for Chelsea's inability to break through Barcelona's defense is the problem of advancement, as long as you carefully study that game, you will find a very interesting place, every time Chelsea enters Barcelona's 32-meter area, Messi will retreat.

Messi is definitely the most premier player in football today, there is no doubt about it, many fans think that the Barcelona system made Messi, which is true, but it should also be fair to look at it this way, why did Barcelona create a Messi? Can't make a second or third Messi?

Looking at your opponent fairly and impartially is the first step to limiting your opponent!

Messi is a player who puts aside his skills, in terms of his ability to read the game on the field, as well as his understanding of the game, prediction, etc., he really does have the level of the top player, and even Yang Cheng can say that in terms of ball quotient, Cristiano? Ronaldo is not as good as that.

However, the Portuguese has his own strengths, such as his explosiveness, his physicality, his versatility.

So in this game against Chelsea, after Messi retreated, he was always consciously stuck in the triangle between Motta, Mikel and Carvalho, as if he was always consciously active in Xavi in this game? Alonso, de la Reid and Thiago? The same between Silva.

However, Messi's retreat does have certain benefits for defense, but the loss of offense is greater, especially when Guardiola withdraws a center forward and replaces a central defender, and there is a lack of an effective threat player in the big penalty area when attacking.

Messi's threat lies in breaking through with the ball, cutting inside and inserting back, called a pseudo-striker, Pedro's skills with the ball are not very good, but his advantage lies in his lateral and vertical running ability, as well as his strategy, which makes the cooperation between him and Messi very good, but Pedro is also good at moving on the wing, finding space and cutting inside.

There is a lack of threat in the penalty area, and Messi's retreat can indeed play a role in tandem and connect the task and effect of the team's offensive advancement, but Barcelona's attack lacks depth, and once the ball reaches the 16-meter area, that is, the big penalty area, it cannot take a step forward.

No matter how good a player is, no matter how good he is, can you break through two lines of defense at once?

What makes Kaka so good is that he can break through two lines of defence with his high-speed dribble in the middle, but that happens on the counter-attack, and no player can do that in positional battles.

Therefore, in the game against Chelsea, Barcelona's attack was never able to penetrate Chelsea's penalty area, and it could not hit the vital point. …,

It is impossible for Yang Cheng not to understand this, so he tried to let Barcelona attack after the opening, on the one hand, to let Barcelona press out to play, and on the other hand, to test whether Guardiola can solve this problem.

"Jean Harvey? Alonso retreats a little more to protect the middle! Yang Cheng made the first adjustment of the game.

Pedro's horizontal and vertical pulls, Messi also actively runs back and forth from the wing and the middle, which makes the two central defenders look forward and backward, once Messi and Pedro get in touch, then the gap between the central defender and the change of flavor is easy to be exposed.

After the opening, Barcelona's attack lacked depth and was not a big threat, but sooner or later it would be noticed, so Yang Cheng was on guard in advance, and he wanted to make Barcelona unable to even play a threatening attack.

Harvey? Alonso retreats to the edge of the box, Ramos and Thiago? Silva has someone in front of him, so they don't have to worry about the defense of the space that Pedro and Messi pull out after cutting inside, and Xavi? Alonso retreated and could break away from Barca's defensive centre.

However, De La Reed will not be able to return, and he will have to withstand Xavi and Iniesta in front of him, relieve the pressure on Barca's Real Madrid backline, and free up the attacking threat of McCone and Marcelo on the wings.

"Pep Guardiola still thinks about tactics a little too simply!" Yang Cheng shook his head and commented in an old-timer tone, "I have to admit that giving up the center forward and using the combination of Pedro and Messi is a very effective adjustment to Barcelona's defense and offense, but the problem is that the adjustment is too large, and it is easy to cause the situation of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall!" ”

Now Barcelona's defense is much more stable, possession has been re-ensured, and Alves can also plug in the attack, but the problem is that Barcelona's attack now lacks a deep threat.

Generally speaking, during the season, the manager is not willing to change multiple positions in the team's tactics if he has no choice but to do so, and usually adjusts in one or two positions, because the more positions you move, the greater the impact, which is not a simple matter of one plus one equals two, but a superimposed power effect.

Look at how many positions Manchester United have been adjusted by Ferguson over the years?

Real Madrid has played 4231 for four years, have you ever seen which position Yang Cheng removed? At best, it would be to put what originally belonged to David? Silva's position dropped back into midfield, engaging in tandem and playmaking, allowing Kaka to move more to the right and become 433.

Drastic adjustments are taboo, because without a long period of testing and running-in, no one knows whether the adjusted tactics will expose more serious problems than before, and in the course of the schedule, it is simply difficult to give you enough time to solve these problems, and in the end it will only become a vicious circle.

"They all say that with Real Madrid's current squad, it is not a problem to monopolize the Champions League for four or five years, but if I am given another Messi, I can monopolize the Champions League for ten years!" Yang Chengyan said confidently.

Many people say that the Barcelona system has created Messi, which makes some sense, but since Pep Guardiola came to power, the situation has changed, and it is Messi who is supporting Barcelona's current tactical system, because Barcelona's ball control system has a very big problem and flaw.

Barcelona, whether it is Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola or Cruyff, is not aware of this problem, that is, their midfield lacks flexibility!

Xavi wants to ensure the team's possession in front of the 32-meter area, he needs a strategy next to him, so he needs Iniesta, become Keita, sorry, it's not bright, he needs a support point behind him, so Busquets must exist, Yaya? Toure, too aggressive, Barcelona don't like it. …,

Possession of the ball in the 32-meter area is like a rein on the fierce horses of the Barcelona players, Iniesta can move, but does he dare to stay away from Xavi? Will Busquets dare to leave his position? Does Pedro dare to go to the middle like Ronaldo, or to the front? Does Messi dare to go a little further, or to the right?

Barcelona's midfield seems complicated, but in fact there is only one core, and it is full of control in the 32-meter area!

This set has actually been figured out by all teams, Barcelona will now find that not to mention playing with strong teams, even if they play with weak teams, they sometimes play very hard, but they just think that it is a problem with the state of the players, and it has nothing to do with the team system, in fact, on the contrary, this is a system problem, but when the players are in good condition, or in average condition, but the strength is stronger than the opponent, this problem can be covered up.

This is the seven inches of Barcelona!

There is a way to hit a snake and hit seven inches, and what Yang Cheng wants is to kill with one blow, so he is not in a hurry at all, let Harvey first? Alonso retreated, blocked Messi and Pedro's interference and threat to the central defenders, and then let De La Red suppress Xavi and Iniesta, Kaka and David? Silva's position dropped back a bit, pinning down Sergio Busquets left and right.

If in the first ten minutes, Barcelona could still create a little threat, then after ten minutes, Cruyff's previous expectation of smooth and fast masterful possession did not appear, on the contrary, Barcelona began to slow down on the pitch, errors began to increase, and possession gradually declined.

De La Reed is a very smart player, he is not the kind of strong man who can't run, but he is very smart, and his ability to read the game and anticipation is excellent, which makes him able to successfully stop the movement of Barcelona's ball line even against Xavi and Iniesta, plus Kaka and David? Silva's help, as well as Marcelo's containment of Alves, made Real Madrid quickly suppress Barcelona's possession.

It's an unsolvable problem, because Xavi himself knows very well that without effective possession in the 32-metre zone, Barcelona's system will not work smoothly, and once Barca's system is restricted, then what awaits them next?

…………

…………

"From the 11th minute to the 20th minute, Barça's possession dropped a lot, from more than 70 per cent to 62 per cent, and they seemed to be inhibited on the pitch and were never able to organise an effective attack." The on-site commentator shook his head and sighed, "There are a lot of passing mistakes between Xavi and Iniesta, is it possible to change the direction and strategy?" ”

After Cruyff listened, he knew bitterly in his heart, to put it bluntly, Barcelona's possession seems to be very fluid, but in fact, if you look at the area occupied by the players in Barcelona's tactical formation, they are almost standing still.

That is to say, Barcelona's players seem to run a lot, but in fact, in many cases they are fixed in their own area to run, rarely leaving their own area, the reason is very simple, in order to ensure that the ball holder can find the ball route anytime and anywhere, so some people say that Barcelona players know where the ball is going to pass even if their eyes are closed, which is the reason.

But there are many problems in doing this, especially after encountering a strong team like Real Madrid, it is easy to be suppressed by the opponent.

On the contrary, Real Madrid's off-ball running is more varied, more difficult to defend and predict, Ronaldo can break through the bottom, can cut inside the box, can dribble laterally, because he knows very well that his teammates will run with him, and then the next player will run with them, one link after another.

That's why everyone says that Real Madrid's ball is better looking because it's more sudden, while Barcelona is more mechanical, so Barca's attack is relatively easier to defend. …,

"Pep Guardiola must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible to help Messi and Xavi break free from the cage laid by Real Madrid, only when they break free from prison, can Barcelona's attack and organization be released, and can show threat again, if this cannot be done, Barcelona's attack will become more and more difficult to play!"

Xavi and Messi are the two key players of Barcelona, once they are strangled to death, Barcelona has also been fatally affected, especially in the frontcourt, Messi is not released, relying on Pedro alone, can not create a threat at all.

Compared with Barcelona's increasing inability to play effective attacks and gradually weakening possession, Real Madrid's attack is becoming more and more threatening, especially Real Madrid's attack on the two wings, which is becoming more and more active.

With Harvey? Alonso's sitting, Barcelona only has Messi and Pedro two front-court attacking players, so Yang Cheng is relieved to let Marcelo and McCone participate in the attack, and Real Madrid's side is playing more and more lively.

In the 27th minute, after Real Madrid cut off Pedro's ball, they launched a wave of attacks on the right side.

McCone picked up the ball on the right and dribbled forward along the right flank and soon advanced to Barca's half.

Because Barcelona's Abidal was in the back position and the midfield lacked effective protection, Iniesta had to lean in the middle to block McConn, but at the same time as Iniesta came over, David? Silva is also running back.

McCone facing David? Silva, who got ahead of Andres Iniesta and passed the ball to David? Silva, after the latter stopped the ball with one foot, faced Xavi who ran from the side, stopped with his left foot, knocked his heel, and the ball was like an eye. Silva's feet flew behind Iniesta.

"Very nice heel pass, from David? Silva! The on-site commentator was amazed.

The Real Madrid fans in attendance thundered in applause and cheers, but it was clear that their applause and cheers should not stop as McCone quickly crossed Iniesta with speed.

Xiaobai's speed can't match the high-speed McConby, so the Brazilian continued to dribble forward after getting the ball earlier than the chasing Iniesta, but this time he did not choose to carry the ball close to the right side, but realized that Iniesta was left behind by himself, and the right side of the front of the Barcelona penalty area was a soft underbelly.

After cutting in diagonally, McCone cut inside from the right like a winger, so that the grabbing Abidal had to move with him, and Busquets leaned in to the right for the first time to protect the edge of the box.

Villa also pulled out of the box for the first time, he skillfully moved between Busquets and Pique, McCone was before Busquets and Abidal formed a package, the ball was low to the edge of the box, and the retreating Villa just blocked Pique with his body, and after getting the ball, he didn't stick and pushed it to the left.

Kaka appeared in front of Busquets, Villa's pass came right at his feet, as soon as he got the ball, he saw Milito save from the penalty area, Kaka took advantage of the situation, smashed the ball to the left, passed Milito, who was too fierce, and was about to dribble the ball into the box, after attracting Puyol's attention, he pushed with his left foot.

The ball passed behind Puyol from the left, and Ronaldo, who had been lying in ambush outside the box, was right behind Puyol, and after winning the ball, he fired a direct volley into the goal between Valdés and the left-hand post.

The shot was powerful and heavy, and it brought a wave of net waves when it entered the net, and then it was still beating after landing.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

In the roar of the on-site commentator, all the Real Madrid fans in the audience rushed out of their seats in an instant, chanting in unison, forgetting what slogan to shout for a while, making them shout in a mess, until they saw Xiao Xiao Luo turn around and rush out of the penalty area, and then shouted Xiao Xiao Luo's name. …,

"Cristiano? Ronaldo!! ”

The Real Madrid crowd chanted the name, and the Portuguese threw his arms up and rushed below the fans in the South Stand to receive cheers from the most die-hard Real Madrid fans.

"In the 27th minute, Real Madrid took the lead in scoring Barcelona's goal, 1:0!"

"It's a very beautiful team goal, the Real Madrid players run back and forth with each other very tacitly, the passing and receiving coordination is very skillful, Barcelona can't effectively stop the Real Madrid ball road in the whole process, this is a very beautiful goal!"

When Cruyff saw Ronaldo, Kaka and others hugging on the sidelines, celebrating his first goal, he looked helpless and couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

"As I said, Real Madrid's attack is very sharp, which is reflected in the movement of each of their players and the mastery of distance, which is an incredible kind of playing intelligence, and it is obvious that Barcelona still shows too many flaws, especially after being squeezed by Real Madrid, and they can't even fight back effectively."

On the big screen of the stadium, Yang Cheng clenched his fists, and was immediately treated by the Real Madrid fans in unison.

On this court, he is the undisputed king and leader!

"Yang Cheng's adjustment is very decisive and ruthless, Barcelona's attack only lasted about 10 minutes, and now they conceded a goal in the 27th minute, all of which will undoubtedly break Guardiola's overall plan."

Cruyff analyzed, but also reminded: "But the most important thing for Guardiola now is to prevent an emotion, that is, from self-confidence to inferiority, players are likely to be affected by multiple factors such as tactical containment, loss of momentum on the field, loss of goals, etc., resulting in a lack of self-confidence and loss of feeling for the game, which will lead to more passivity on the field." ”

'As a manager, Pep Guardiola has to stop that from happening.' ）
