"Bang bang! Come on, Barcelona! ”
"Get out of Barcelona, Real Madrid scum!"
"Yang Yang, you have the ability to come out for me!"
"Tomorrow, if you dare to step into the Camp Nou, I will kill you!"
……
The deafening drums, the incessant invective, and even the occasional Barcelona fan trying to break into the hotel.
This is the eve of the Derby of the Century!
Every time Real Madrid came to Barcelona, they received special treatment from Barcelona fans, which was not available to other away teams, and this harassment continued throughout the night.
This is all good, when the smell of gunpowder was the strongest between the two sides, Barcelona fans even almost smashed the bus of Real Madrid, but later the police intervened, and the Spanish Football Federation and the professional league also gave a stern warning to Barcelona fans, which made their fans a little more restrained.
But no one can do anything about this kind of harassment outside the hotel.
At the beginning, Real Madrid would call the police station to complain, but the police station also turned a blind eye, and the same was true for the hotel, they didn't dare to offend this group of local fan organizations, but just stuck at the door of the hotel, prohibiting any Barcelona fans from mixing in, as for what was going on outside the door, they couldn't manage it, and they didn't dare to care.
In recent years, the independence sentiment in Catalonia has been high, and the matchup between Real Madrid and Barcelona has long been more than just football.
Who would dare to provoke the fans of Barcelona at this time?
Even Real Madrid, after coming to Barcelona, had to squat in the hotel with their tails between their legs, and were forbidden to go out.
Fortunately, the soundproofing of the hotel room is good, after closing the windows and closing the curtains, the harassment from the outside world does not have a great impact on the players in the room, but when I think of the Barcelona fans outside, no one has a taste in their hearts.
This is the away game!
……
Yang Yang has been coming to Real Madrid for almost six years, he has long been accustomed to this style of Barcelona fans, long before he came to Real Madrid, during his time at Liverpool, Barcelona fans had a very bad impression of him, and even attacked in groups.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm born with Barcelona." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.
In the hotel's café, Zidane sat across from him, and after listening to his words, he smiled.
"If you want to say that, then so do I."
"But I don't think they hate you much." Yang Yang looked at the bald guy opposite with some envy.
Zidane nodded with a smile, "In our time, the Internet was not developed, and information was not spread as fast as it is now, and Barcelona in those years was at its lowest point, and it was very chaotic internally, where was there such a momentum now?" Besides, Catalonia wasn't as noisy back then. ”
Football and politics are also closely related in many cases, especially in Spain.
'The technical team is assessing Carlo Ancelotti's coaching. Zidane said lightly.
Yang Yang was picking up the cup of boiling water in front of him, and after hearing this sudden sentence, his hand paused obviously, put back the water cup he had just raised, and muttered for a while before replying: "It's normal." ”
yes, that's normal!
It can be seen from the game against Schalke 04 that Ancelotti is really under suspicion in the dressing room.
Of course, this doubt is not a doubt about his coaching level or professional ability, but some of his current thoughts and ideas.
The dressing room is a very strange place, especially for Real Madrid.
Just by the rules, or the level of professionalism, then no one in this world can manage the dressing room of Real Madrid.
In this small dressing room, there are some of the best superstars from all over the world, and the players in each position are almost the best in world football today, all of whom have proud resumes, outstanding strengths, and different personalities and lifestyles.
To put it mildly, Real Madrid's players are placed in other teams in the four major leagues, except for Barcelona, any team is estimated to be at the main level, even if it is a substitute.
Herrera, for example, was a substitute and rotation role at Real Madrid, but when he went to Manchester United, he was the absolute main force.
In a locker room with such a group of players, it is difficult to manage, easy to say.
Discipline and professionalism are only part of the story, but more important is the weight of what you say.
Without a manager with enough weight, he can't stop the superstars of Real Madrid.
This is true not only of Real Madrid, but of almost all the big clubs.
Carlo Ancelotti had managed well and gained everyone's trust and support, but since the winter break he has started to show a different side, especially against Schalke Zero-Four, where he took out Mascherano and Ilia Ramendi and reactivated Modric who had returned from injury.
This is a big no-no!
Is Modric any good?
It's easy to use, whether he can return to the top or not, he will be the most important midfielder in the Real Madrid squad.
You can't use it that way!
Neither Mascherano nor Ilia Ramendi have made mistakes, but have been consistent in the past period and have been an important part of the team's midfield defence, and when they have no problems of their own and the team is gradually regaining stability, suddenly let Modric replace them, what will the other players think?
And more importantly, Modric did not play well in this game, and Real Madrid's defense made mistakes one after another.
It has been proven time and time again that Toni Kroos is not fit to play in central midfield, and his combination with Luka Modric in the first half of the campaign was a bit of a fortuitous combination, as they met in that period of time and found a common frequency to play surprisingly football.
But this kind of football was completely interrupted with Modric's serious injury, and it is difficult to reproduce it now, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to reproduce it in the future.
Carlo Ancelotti has a pursuit, he desperately wants to get back the kind of football he had in the first half, but he was so anxious that he forgot about it, and he brought Modric directly into the starting line-up, and there was a certain amount of pressure on Mascherano and Ilia Ramendi, and even the other players in the dressing room.
Football is to put it bluntly, it is up to the players to play, the head coach said that the sky is wild, the players are not happy, they still can't play on the field, and it is useless for the head coach to be anxious on the sidelines.
That's the case with Real Madrid now.
In this case, it is also normal for the technical team to evaluate Ancelotti's coaching.
As Yang Yang has always said, changing the coach is the lowest-cost reform method for a team, especially a giant team.
But then there is the question of whether Ancelotti is really out of class, and Zidane will be replaced by him.
"Haven't you got your coaching certificate yet?"
Sure enough, Zidane looked at Yang Yang with concern, his eyes full of curiosity.
The whole Valdebebas knows that Yang Yang is a well-known scholar, but he hasn't taken a single coaching certificate, how is this possible? You must know that the cultural level of players is generally not high, and the coaching certificate is not difficult to obtain.
"I really don't have time lately." Yang Yang smiled bitterly, "No, just now, the Lawrence Organizing Committee in my country called again to invite me back to participate, and I am now lacking in skills." ”
"Excuses!" Zidane directly ripped off Yang Yang's disguise.
Yang Yang smiled bitterly, and could only hide his embarrassment by drinking water.
"What do you think of Luka Modric?" Zidane asked suddenly.
Yang Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, realizing that this was obviously beyond his identity as a player, but soon he reacted again, Zidane was purely discussing with him, and he should be preparing what he would do if he really took over Real Madrid.
You can't rush to office without preparing for anything, right?
'He's the best playmaker in European football, David Silva is too, and I'm bullish on Kevin De Bruyne in the future.'
As a teammate, Yang Yang believes that he still has a lot of say.
"You've been expecting De Bruyne so much?" Zidane is a little funny, the Belgian midfielder is indeed good, but it doesn't seem to be good enough for Yang Yang to admire, right?
'I know he doesn't have a lot of creativity in his passing, but you have to believe that sometimes consistency is more important than anything else, especially when he has a consistent environment. Yang Yang said convincingly.
Zidane nodded, he agreed with Yang Yang's statement, but had some reservations about De Bruyne.
"What about Tony Cross?"
"He's not a defensive midfielder, at most he's a bit defensive, and I think what's really great about him is his consistency, the passing and receiving are too solid, and the big foot transfer is also very stable, but the combination of him and Modric, I think it's hard to reproduce the two-back configuration in the first half."
"You mean, Modric has slipped?"
"Pretty definitely." Yang Yang said without hesitation, "So, we have to make some sacrifices and trade-offs. ”
A declining Modric does not mean that he is useless, on the contrary, Real Madrid should make up for the impact of Modric's physical decline through tactics and arrangement.
"In the next few years, the position of the midfielder will be a key factor in whether we can achieve results." Yang Yang said very conclusively that he really knows the situation of Real Madrid too well.
In the game against Schalke 04, he sat in the stands and clearly saw how the German team passed through Real Madrid's midfield again and again, and if there was a midfielder at that time, it would not have been possible for Schalke 04 players to be so presumptuous.
"There aren't many good midfielders right now." Zidane obviously remembered Makelele, shook his head and sighed.
Real Madrid has always been a tradition of attacking more than defending, and has always paid little attention to defensive players.
But Yang Yang thought very simply, professional football is to win, only on the premise of winning, can you be qualified to pursue the so-called drifting is not beautiful, how many goals, if you lose, no matter how many goals you score, no matter how beautiful you play, it will be in vain.
'That's why Mascherano is so important, I'm sure Illah Ramendi will be a good midfielder if he doesn't leave, and Casemiro, who is on loan at Porto, is said to have done very well.
Real Madrid have three excellent defensive midfielders at hand, and the key is whether they are willing to use them and how to use them.
