The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the away dressing room.

This is probably the first time in recent years that Real Madrid have used the away team's dressing room.

In order to allow the players to get a better preparation environment, Real Madrid also made appropriate changes to the away team's dressing room before the game, and also arranged more staff in the game to provide a full range of services for the players.

That's the advantage of playing at home.

The temporary backwardness in the first half made the Real Madrid players feel depressed, and the opponent's strict defense made the team very aggrieved, but there was no good solution, so that after returning to the locker room, everyone was silent.

Yang Yang sat slumped in front of the closet, tilting his head, his face covered with a wrung out towel, and a club masseur squatting in front of him, massaging the muscles of his legs, and caring a few words from time to time, but Yang Yang did not respond.

He was thinking about something.

The other players in the dressing room were also thinking about things, so that no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

Diego Milito's goal hit Real Madrid so hard, especially mentally, that everyone now knows that a change had to be made in the second half, but no one knows how.

Or rather, there is no hope of victory for anyone.

Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan are really desperate at the defensive level.

……

Benitez walked into the dressing room, and both he and Yesterdam had serious expressions on their faces.

Obviously, they were all aware of the toughness of the second half.

Any team, facing Inter Milan, has only one way to attack.

The problem for Real Madrid now is that they have to score at least one goal in the 45 minutes of the second half.

Benitez can't actually come up with a very effective solution, because this time he is facing an iron wall, and he still emphasizes the need to play fast and transfer, but there are not many specific details.

Today's Real Madrid is like Barcelona in the semifinals, and it really can't come up with an effective offensive strategy.

And the players also clearly felt this, and their hearts were empty and unconfident.

It's not enough to question Benitez, but it's certainly a little disappointing.

Casillas is also aware of this, as the team's captain on the field, Raul has left the team to captain the team, and the Real Madrid goalkeeper has stood up to encourage his team-mates, hoping that everyone can continue to work hard and try to play with momentum in the second half and create more chances.

But such a slogan didn't make much sense, because Real Madrid had already played well enough in the first half.

At this time, what the team needs is an effective, targeted strategy.

The players need to see hope!

As long as there is hope, they have enough confidence and confidence!

In terms of player strength, Real Madrid's squad can be said to be the best in the world, as long as they have enough confidence, they are not afraid of any team.

Casillas also realized the lack of interest of his teammates, and obviously knew that his words still failed to convince his teammates, looking around the locker room, he looked at Yang Yang and Ramos, hoping that they would both be able to stand up and say something at this time.

Ramos looked dejected and a little frustrated by the goal conceded in the final stages of the first half.

Even if he doesn't have much responsibility.

Yang Yang looked at Casillas, then at Benitez and Yesterdam, their eyes full of encouragement.

At this time, the Real Madrid team really needs him to stand up and say a few words to boost morale, even if he shouts a few empty words, it is better than letting the team go on the pitch with this mentality.

If you really play like this, the second half will definitely collapse.

Under the gaze of everyone in the team, Yang Yang slowly stood up.

Ibrahimovic sitting next to him was originally the tallest in the team, but at this moment, I don't know if it was because he was sitting, he actually felt that Yang Yang was unusually tall.

Yang Yang stood up from his seat, first glanced at his teammates around him, and then looked at Benitez, and made a decision in his heart, because he remembered what Zidane had said to him not long ago.

If you want to be the leader of the team, then you have to show the courage that a leader should have and be brave enough to speak his mind.

"I feel like we need to make a change." Yang Yang said in a gentle, but unusually affirmative tone.

When they heard this, no one was surprised, because it was what they had in mind.

The question is not whether to change, but how.

Could it be that Yang Yang has an idea in his heart?

Everyone looked at Yang Yang expectantly, Benitez and Yesterdam also glanced at each other, and they all noticed the confusion in each other's eyes, did Yang Yang have any good ideas?

……

In the world of professional football, there are generally two ways to become a head coach, one is academic, after systematic theoretical training, and accumulate enough experience, this type of successful head coach includes Mourinho, Benitez, Wenger, etc., are the kind of managers who have a mediocre career, but have a brilliant coaching resume.

There is another kind of coaching, from excellent professional players to managers, the most famous are Ferguson, Guardiola, Mancini, Capello and Ancelotti, etc., they all have extremely rich professional experience, as well as outstanding careers, and then after a certain amount of theoretical training, began to be the head coach.

Whether the academy is better, or the empirical school is better, this is a long-standing point of controversy, or should it be said that each has its own advantages, academics often believe that it is unreliable to command a team with experience and intuition, there must be a systematic theory, players only need to implement the manager's skills and tactics on the field, the most typical is Benitez and Bielsa, both of whom use players as robots.

Experiencers tend to have a lot of experience, they know what the players are thinking, they know how to communicate with the players, and even big names such as Pep Guardiola can easily control the superstars in the dressing room, and when they rise, they can also go down the pitch and teach the players how to play.

Moreover, top players tend to have a deeper understanding of football, resulting in them often having some angles and even creative thinking that the academic school does not have in terms of the technical and tactical aspects of football games.

For example, Carlo Ancelotti put Andrea Pirlo behind, Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola created Barcelona's passing system, and so on.

Whether it is better to be academic or experienced is an old question, but one thing is certain, that is, the top players' understanding of football and the way they think about the game is definitely completely different from others.

Will Yang Yang also have any unique ideas now?

All eyes were on him, including Benitez and Jesterdam.

……

"There are no perfect tactics in this world, and there can be no impregnable defense."

Yang Yang directly expressed his opinion, and got a nod of approval from everyone in the locker room.

'We see Inter's defence as a wall, it looks impregnable, but in reality, the wall is not without gaps, it is made up of a back four and a back three, and between the players there will inevitably be gaps, there will be holes.

This is a very basic thing, Yang Yang said it very bluntly, and everyone can understand it.

The reason why Inter Milan can be indestructible is because they are very tacit, they are very strong in execution, and the players are always trying to fill each other's holes and gaps, maintain tight distances, and keep the defensive formation tight.

As a result, Real Madrid has never been able to find an effective breakthrough and pose a direct threat to the goal.

It should be said that what Yang Yang said is not an esoteric truth, everyone present understands it, and some people even think that he is saying some meaningless nonsense, and wants to say a few words.

But at this time, Yang Yang really got to the point.

"We all know that the pull of the attacking side will inevitably lead to the movement of the defender, and as long as it moves, it will definitely expose more gaps and flaws, so the boss just said, let's play fast and transfer, pull the opponent by transferring, force the defender to move to create flaws."

"So the question is, Inter Milan were obviously not afraid of our style of play in the first half, why?"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard this, they thought that Yang Yang was going to say something profound, but the result was ......

"It's simple because they have better control and grabbing of space." Ramos replied directly.

Everyone else nodded as well, and Inter Milan did a very good job of controlling and seizing space, which could even be said to be watertight, which made it difficult for Real Madrid to create chances in front of their defence.

Yang Yang nodded, "That's right, but things are often two-sided, we can say that the first half can't be played because Inter Milan has better control of space, but it can also be said that we didn't do enough to pull and transfer." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all a little confused, only Benitez and Xavi Alonso showed a thoughtful look, obviously understanding what Yang Yang meant.

"The ball is always faster than the man, as long as we move fast enough, as long as we move long enough, Inter Milan will have to invest more if they want to control the space, and maybe they can't cover it at all."

Manpower has limits and is limited by speed and fitness, so it is impossible for a team to cover all areas.

Why did Inter retreat into the half-pitch, or even the 30-metre zone?

It's because they can only guarantee that they cover so much.

But in reality, even within a thirty-meter zone, they can't guarantee that they will be able to control all the space under any circumstances.

Yang Yang also became more and more excited, this is the first time he has sketched out the sidelines in his mind, in front of the head coach and teammates, he said a little messy, and there may even be many people who can't keep up with his thinking, but it's not important, the important thing is that he has to say what he wants to say.

Even when he was excited, he walked directly to the tactical board and drew directly on it with a pen.

"When attacking up front, the longest transfer is from one side to the other!"
