The first derby of the century of the new season ended with Real Madrid losing 1-2.

Before the end of the game, Yang Yang took advantage of Puyol's return pass to the goalkeeper and forced Valdés for the first time.

The Barcelona goalkeeper wanted to dribble past Yang Yang, but after Yang Yang broke the ball with his foot, he pushed the empty goal and scored a goal, saving a goal for Real Madrid, and also leaving a suspense for the second leg of the game a week later.

1-2, as long as they win Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium in the second leg, Real Madrid can still win the championship.

But losing to Barcelona for the first time in three years, especially in the first half, was a very big blow to the Real Madrid players.

So much so that after the Real Madrid players returned to the dressing room, they all seemed to be in high spirits, and all of them lost their former passion, even Ramos and Marcelo, who like to enliven the atmosphere the most, are like defeating a rooster at this moment, hanging their heads and sitting in their positions, with confusion in their eyes.

Not only them, but others as well.

In the first century derby, Hazard did not show anything, not only did he not suppress Alves, but there were many problems on the defensive end, which caused Alves to step forward frequently and suppress the left side of Real Madrid with Sanchez.

But the most important thing is the ribs.

Facing Barcelona as a single midfielder, Real Madrid's rib defense is a very serious problem.

It can be said that the two goals conceded in the first half, as well as a crucial save by Vermaelen, were all from the ribs.

It wasn't until the second half that Xavi Alonso returned to the midfield position, the team reorganized the double midfield, and Hazard and Robben retreated appropriately, which barely stabilized the situation, but the team lost the opportunity and lost its spirit, and no longer played a sharp attack.

Yang Yang's goal in the 85th minute looked more like luck.

Valdés always makes some inexplicable mistakes at critical moments, before it was a passing error, but this time he simply wanted to dribble directly, but he was cut off by Yang Yang.

In a joking tone, this is Valdés' assist for Yang Yang's goal, preserving Real Madrid's hope of a comeback in the second leg.

But more importantly, after suffering such a fiasco, how will Real Madrid fight next?

……

Yang Yang didn't speak, just sat in his position, thinking about his own affairs.

It was the first time in his career that he lost at the Camp Nou and the first time he left the Camp Nou as a loser, so much so that when the game was over, the 100,000 Barcelona fans in the stadium laughed at him in unison.

This is not surprising, because in the past few years, every time Yang Yang came to Camp Nou, it would bring disaster to Barcelona, and although he scored tonight, Real Madrid lost 1-2, the first time in three years that Real Madrid lost to Barcelona.

What a terrible result!

Yang Yang is not indulging in the pessimism of failure, he is still thinking more, why did he lose this game?

The answer is also very simple, Real Madrid lost in the first half, and lost in the first half in the team's tactical play.

Carlo Ancelotti tried to get Real Madrid to play the ball with the same passing and possession as Barcelona, but the result was ruthlessly proved that even if Real Madrid had top midfielders such as Eden Hazard, David Silva, Luka Modric and Xavi Alonso, they still couldn't play the same football as Barcelona.

Because it's football that belongs to Barcelona, no one can learn it!

Dong Shi imitates him, and in the end it will only bring humiliation on himself.

Of course, Yang Yang doesn't think this defeat is worthless, because it proves at least one thing, one truth.

That is, Real Madrid cannot follow the path of Barcelona, at least not in a short period of time.

……

"I'm sorry, guys."

Ancelotti also looked lonely, standing in front of the players, he looked a little at a loss.

Because he lost.

'We played well in the second half, the main problems were in the first half, it's my fault, I made mistakes and I'm willing to take responsibility for that, but I also want everyone to understand that the league has started and we have to get out of this defeat as soon as possible because we have a tough game to play in a week's time.'

Carlo Ancelotti looked at the player in front of him, as a professional player, he knew very well that after such a defeat, it would be a very big blow to Real Madrid's morale, but it was a matter of time before it would happen.

No team can beat their opponents forever, and Real Madrid can't beat Barcelona every time.

The three-year unbeaten record will be broken sooner or later.

Only by getting out of the woods and out of the shadows will Real Madrid be able to emerge stronger.

Thinking of this, Ancelotti couldn't help but sweep his gaze to the captain Casillas and Ramos, the former was excited, the latter was still angry, and finally he looked at Yang Yang.

At this time, Zidane also happened to look at Yang Yang, and Yang Yang also sensed it, and after thinking about it, he stood up.

"Don't be sad, don't be discouraged, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, tonight's defeat, we will get it back at the Bernabeu in a week!" Yang Yang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

"Trust me, in a week, we'll kill Barcelona!"

Yang Yang's statement made many players regain hope, and even Casillas regained confidence.

He is not boasting, because in the past three years, every promise Yang Yang has made in this locker room has finally been fulfilled, and they have no way not to believe him.

…………

…………

"I think this loss is probably a good thing."

After returning to Madrid from Barcelona, the team was disbanded in Valdebebas, but Yang Yang did not go home immediately, but discussed the game with Zidane in his office.

The game has just ended, Yang Yang is still very excited, the details of the game are still very clear, and his understanding is naturally profound.

"Barcelona's players are all from the academy lineage, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Pique, these people have played together since childhood, and their tacit understanding is something we can't have anyway."

"Even, I can say that even if we put all the best passers in the world at Real Madrid, we still won't be able to play football like Barça, because it's a football that is unique to Barça and no one else can learn it."

"And tonight's defeat is telling us that this road doesn't work."

Yang Yang usually rarely makes a positive judgment on a certain thing, but this time he is very sure that Real Madrid can't play Barcelona's pass-and-control style of play, and no matter how hard he tries to learn, it will only be Dongshi's imitation, which is counterproductive.

Zidane nodded, he also agreed with Yang Yang's statement, this time Ancelotti did a bad job.

Or should I say, including him, the entire Real Madrid coaching staff and management think badly.

"This is the price that the team has to pay for experimenting with technical and tactical styles after the reorganization." Zidane sighed helplessly, "Now that we know that this road is not going to work, then we should take another path." ”

"I think we should stick to our own path." Yang Yang retorted.

Zidane frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"If you look at Real Madrid, then you look at Barcelona, what do you think is the difference between our two teams?"

Zidane frowned deeply, did not answer, but looked directly at Yang Yang, waiting for his answer.

"It's fundamentally different." Yang Yang replied briskly, "Barcelona is more insistent on being local, mainly Catalonia, so they have always attached great importance to their own youth training, and they are in the same vein; Real Madrid, on the other hand, is oriented to Europe and even to the world, so it has always been dominated by foreign aid, and the Five Eagle era is a special case. ”

"This essential difference has caused the two teams to be very different in terms of team strategy, and even reflected in the team's technical and tactical style, Barcelona just insisted on focusing on me, based on the concept of ball control, and has not changed for many years, which has come to this day step by step, but Real Madrid has always been adapting to the times and taking the initiative to change."

Over the years, Barcelona's managers have basically carried the same heritage, from Cruyff to Van Gaal to Rijkaard to Pep Guardiola, and now Vilanova, they can be said to be in the same line.

Real Madrid is different, Real Madrid's managers in the past few years can be described as varied, from Mendoza to Senz to Florentino to Calderón, and now Florentino, Real Madrid's managers are almost all over the world, trying a variety of different styles.

From Toshak to Hiddink, from Capello to Heynckes, from Bosque to Queiroz to Luxemburg, and from Rafael Benitez to Carlo Ancelotti in recent years, are there any similarities between these managers?

Their football philosophies are also diverse, and their coaching results are also good and bad, which is difficult to describe.

But it's not hard to see that Real Madrid and Barcelona are fundamentally different.

Is that Barcelona's set better? Real Madrid's set is even worse?

Neither is it.

It is a well-known fact that it is difficult for foreign players to integrate into Barcelona, how many players have been able to integrate into Barcelona over the years?

Even Cesc Fabregas, who came out of his own academy but returned to the Premier League, could not fit into this team.

Most of them are stars with strong individual abilities like Ronaldinho and Alves, but there are more stars who can't integrate into Barcelona, which proves that Barcelona's system is naturally self-enclosed, and every revival of Barcelona is often supported by a strong youth training force, supplemented by a group of outstanding foreign players who can integrate into the team.

For example, the Dream Team is led by Pep Guardiola, the Dream Team II is Puyol, Valdés, Xavi and Messi, not to mention the Dream Team Three, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, Pique......

In contrast, Real Madrid is more open-minded, always bringing in the best players, even vice-captain Ramos is brought in from Sevilla, but their own youth training is inevitably withering, but the club is obviously more open and more tolerant from the team to the technical and tactical style.

If you want to use a figurative analogy, then Barcelona insists on localization and self-centeredness, while Real Madrid is going international, adapting to the times and adapting to changes.

Localization and internationalization here are both neutral words, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, without any pejorative connotations.

Therefore, letting Real Madrid learn from Barcelona is a wrong choice in itself, and it is purely an imitation.
