1278 Character determines destiny

The first half of the game ended with Barcelona taking a 1-0 lead, but as the Real Madrid players walked back to the dressing room one after another, there was no sign of loser's frustration on the faces of each player, replaced by confidence and unwillingness.

Anyone can see that this is not like the look of a laggard.

It also had something to do with the situation in the first half.

After Barcelona took the lead in the opening three minutes, Real Madrid began to organize their attack and defense steadily, and did not leave many chances for Barca, the only thing that impressed should be Iniesta's through ball and Messi's sudden back shot from a long shot, but neither could threaten.

Courtois has gradually integrated into Real Madrid's defensive system after a long run-in, and the fierce competition between him and Keylor Navas has allowed the Belgian goalkeeper to improve his level and finally be able to play in this game.

Apart from these two dangerous attacks, Barcelona have hardly played a decent attack.

Neymar on the left is without the flamboyant dribbles on the wing, Messi on the right is without his own unique quick start, and Cristiano Ronaldo has struggled to get chances both inside and outside the box......

It can be said that under Real Madrid's meticulous tactics, Barcelona's offensive trident was contained.

Although a goal was scored in the first three minutes, Real Madrid's steady tactics then allowed the team to stand firm, and also allowed the Real Madrid players to regain the rhythm and confidence of the game, and they began to realize that they did not lose the game.

It is this confidence that allows them to return to the dressing room with a more positive outlook.

As soon as he returned to the Real Madrid dressing room, led by Yang Yang, the discussion for the first half also began.

……

"Harvey, are you okay over there?" Yang Yang asked.

"Cristiano Ronaldo started too fast, it was stressful and it was a lot of work." Xavi Martinez gasped and it was clear that defending the Portuguese in the first half had caused him a lot of consumption.

'yes, there's Neymar, Andres Iniesta and Messi, it's better not to let them into the box.' Ramos also spoke on the sidelines.

Real Madrid's central defenders are mainly brave, but they are not good at dexterity, facing the explosive Cristiano Ronaldo, and the dexterous Neymar, Iniesta and Messi with the ball, are very difficult.

Yang Yang also understands this, because he himself is known for his explosiveness and dexterity, and naturally knows what type of situation the defender is most afraid of.

"Then try to keep the football out of the penalty area, in the area where there is no threat, we can use foul tactics appropriately to delay the opponent, but pay attention to the action and don't get cards." Yang Yang reminded.

'We defended well in the first half, especially in terms of positioning and movement, and I believe that as long as we continue to play like this, it will be difficult for Barcelona to break down our defence, but it will require us to grit our teeth and persevere.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Mascherano, and the physical consumption of the Argentine back is also very large.

"Is it okay?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Mascherano nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, there's no problem." ”

"In the second half, Messi will definitely invest more, the threat will be greater, we need you to protect the box and the defense at the edge of the box, especially to deal with Messi's back insertion and inward cutting, it's very fatal, if you can't hold it, we will concede the ball."

Yang Yang said seriously, and Mascherano was also aware of his pressure, and nodded solemnly: "No problem, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely not let him easily pass through my defense zone." ”

"I'll protect on the flanks." David Silva attacked on the left side, and the defense was right on Messi's side.

"I can also reduce the number of forward insertions and protect the flanks." Marcelo followed suit.

"I can watch Alves." Hazard also said confidently.

It's a Champions League final and Real Madrid are still one goal behind, and it's not just a test for the whole team, it's a test for the players.

If Real Madrid don't want to lose, they have to put their heart and soul into the game.

"Barcelona's attack is actually based on Messi as the axis, using Messi and the right side to pull our defense, forcing us to shift the focus of our defense to this side, and then suddenly shift to the left side, giving full play to the individual abilities of Neymar and Alba on the wing."

Barcelona's style of play is very similar to Real Madrid's overall thinking, and it can even be said that in the past few years, Real Madrid's sweep of the Europa has relied on the powerful attacking firepower of its own two wings, which is difficult for other teams to imitate.

"Therefore, while we stabilized the defense in the second half, when counterattacking, we must focus on our right side, resolutely play fast, hit behind, and we can't counterattack at the first time, and we must also firmly suppress the opponent's left side."

Speaking of this, Yang Yang smiled confidently, "I believe everyone has seen it, although we conceded a goal after the opening, we quickly stabilized our position and found our rhythm of the game, but this is obviously not enough, we need to stabilize our rhythm at the same time, find a way to suppress the opponent, and at the same time patiently look for opportunities to attack, equalize or even reverse the score!" ”

When all the Real Madrid players heard this, they obviously felt a shock.

No one wants to lose, especially Real Madrid's players, and Yang Yang has a pivotal position in the Real Madrid dressing room, and his every word is extremely convincing to all the players.

"After the first half of the game, I think the key in the second half is how to resist Barcelona's attack, and at the same time, to target their weakness, to put it simply, we need to avoid Barca's high pressing and attack the opponent's back line directly."

When he said this, Yang Yang looked at his teammates, "Believe me, as long as you pass the ball to me, as long as you give me a direct face to the opponent's defense, I will definitely be able to score the ball into Barcelona's goal!" ”

Hearing Yang Yang's loud and sonorous promise, the expressions of all the Real Madrid players also became excited.

For Yang Yang, they never doubt, they are always full of confidence and even dependence.

……

Carlo Ancelotti stood at the door of the dressing room and heard the players talking in the dressing room.

Suddenly, he had the feeling that Yang Yang inside looked more like a head coach, and he looked redundant.

There is no doubt that today's Real Madrid players trust Yang Yang far more than him as a manager, especially after the mistake in the first half of the starting tactics, his already fragile trust in the minds of the players has been hit again.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

The reason why his situation in the Real Madrid dressing room has come to this point is to some extent due to some objective factors, but also his own reasons, and every time he reflects on it, he regrets it because he could have done better.

But after reflection, he often repeats his past mistakes.

That's his character!

It has been said that character determines destiny.

But in the world of football, doesn't personality determine a manager's coaching style?

Although the contact is not deep, Ancelotti can see that although Yang Yang is an attacker, his character is very calm, calm and rational, so his football philosophy is based on stability, practicality and efficiency, and on the premise of ensuring that he defeats the opponent, he will think about more other things, such as scoring more goals.

This is also Yang Yang's style when he plays, calm, efficient, and practical, but there is rarely a flash of genius.

It's not that he doesn't have it, it's that he doesn't want to use it.

Sometimes, Ancelotti is also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of team Yang Yang will bring if he really becomes the head coach? What kind of results can be achieved?

But that's all for later.

At this moment, at the door of the Real Madrid dressing room, Ancelotti had to adjust his emotions and gently push the door open.

After Yang Yang said so much, Ancelotti suddenly found that he didn't know what to say.

…………

…………

After the rematch in the second half, neither team made any substitutions.

But there is one obvious change for Barcelona, and that is the speed.

Luis Enrique was clearly aware of the problems in the first half, and after scoring a goal in the third minute, Barcelona were unable to create any more threats, so he tried to create more chances by speeding up, allowing the front trident to gain more space and play to the advantage of one-on-one individual ability.

After a Barcelona midfield break, a quick counter-attack was formed by Rakitic on the left side of the penalty area, and Cristiano Ronaldo's stabbing shot from 10 yards was saved sideways by Courtois and failed to threaten.

But Yang Yang quickly realized the problem and immediately signaled his teammates to stabilize the rhythm and not follow Barcelona to speed up.

He is well aware that Barca's acceleration is actually a change in mentality.

Real Madrid played too steadily, so stable that Barcelona did not create a threat, which is also a kind of pressure for Barcelona, especially in the past so many years, when the results have been crushed in an all-round way, how can Barcelona not be in a hurry?

Yang Yang believes that he has not reacted yet, but it will be more obvious in the future.

But the more this is the case, the more stable Real Madrid will be.

Hold down your opponent safely, block your opponent safely, and wait for your opportunity to arise safely.

In this case, Ancelotti on the sidelines seems to be deprived of the command of the head coach, and many players on the field don't listen to him much, and more Yang Yang is commanding on the field.

Everyone, including Ancelotti himself, found out about this, but they all understood that Yang Yang was still somewhat angry in his heart.

He reminded Carlo Ancelotti, but the Italians clearly didn't take it to heart, so he had to prove it in his own way.

In the 51st minute, Barcelona planned an attack again, and all the tridents appeared on the left side, and they collided with the wall, but they still couldn't break into the penalty area, and hurriedly hit the goal, which was high.

Mascherano's defence on the edge of the box was incredible.

The ball is still at the feet of Barcelona, and Real Madrid is still patiently waiting for their opportunity.

Just a minute later, Real Madrid finally seized their chance.

Ramos burst up and cut out Andres Iniesta's pass to Neymar for an early tackle and quickly passed to Toni Kroos, who fired a long pass and launched a counter-attack down the right.
