1019 Damn, Fooled!
Yang Yang is only twenty-five years old, has played professional football for eight or nine years, and has read a lot of tactics-related books, and even took the time to read the teaching materials of FIFA training coaches, which can be regarded as having mastered a certain amount of primary theoretical knowledge, but compared with a professional coach like Ancelotti, the gap is still very large.
But this does not mean that Yang Yang's feeling for the game is not as good as Ancelotti's, on the contrary, Yang Yang is more about feelings, knowing what it is, but a professional manager like Ancelotti can understand the reason.
For example, Yang Yang said that Real Madrid has a lot of people in the front.
It's an interesting phenomenon, especially in tonight's game.
Real Madrid used a four-two-three-one formation in this game, but this is just a very general statement for the convenience of ordinary fans, and the position of the players on the pitch is not fixed, but it is roughly distributed like this.
The benefits of the 4231 formation are numerous, with a more balanced attack and defence, more varied attacking play up front than a 442, and a two-back midfield configuration that allows for classic combinations such as Albelda and Baraja, or Xavi Alonso and Mascherano.
Even in recent years, many teams, including Barcelona and the Spanish national team, have been studying the striker-free formation, which is a variant of 4231, withdrawing the striker at the front, and Cesc Fabregas is seen as the most suitable candidate.
But in recent years, the four-three-three formation has gradually emerged.
It's a very cold formation, because it's not something that a normal team can handle.
The reason for this is the prevalence of backfoot wingers.
As the name suggests, when the backfoot wingers on the left and right wings, as well as the assist-type fullbacks who are inserted in the back, want to squeeze into the front court, the forward midfielders in the position of the four-two-three-one formation limit their space to move.
At this time, you have to make a choice, whether to be a forward midfielder or a backfoot winger?
Four-three-three is a set of offensive formations, and the offensive changes are more and richer than those of four-two-three-one, and the defense is relatively weak, which leads to the fact that when attacking, when we have strong individual players, we can often get more free space in the frontcourt.
Whether it is Mourinho's four-three-three when he was in charge of Chelsea and Inter Milan, or the four-three-three of Barcelona under Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola, they all have very good attackers in the frontcourt, which other small and medium-sized teams cannot have, so they can't play four-three-three at all.
It's not that Real Madrid hasn't tried four-three-three, but Benitez has tasted it, he prefers four-two-three-one, because he prefers balance, which is his football philosophy, and Ancelotti's arrival is to further release Real Madrid's attacking power, so he will actively try four-three-three, but he doesn't dare to be too aggressive.
Real Madrid's system took Benitez two years to build, especially with the classic two-back combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, it is too risky to rashly change the formation of 433, so this season's Real Madrid are all 433 and 4231 rounds.
In this Champions League final, Real Madrid used a 4231 formation for the sake of safety.
In the face of Chelsea's impregnable steel defence, after entering the opponent's 30-metre zone, full of defenders, Real Madrid's attacking players were more pressed and restricted than usual, so many problems that were not exposed on a daily basis were exposed in the first half of tonight.
This is what Yang Yang said, there are too many people in the front.
Yang Yang was just a feeling, but Ancelotti could understand what was going on.
So Ancelotti at halftime, after Yang Yang finished talking about his thoughts, he made an obvious change, that is, to bring Kakala back, Xavi Alonso to the top of the front, the same as Kaka, and at the same time push Yang Yang and Robben forward to the front line, becoming a three-striker.
This is one of the ways in which Real Madrid changed from 4231 to 433 in the game.
Not only that, Ancelotti and Zidane are very positive about Yang Yang's initiative, and firmly call on the players to give up all luck and end the battle within 90 minutes.
"We don't play extra time, we don't play penalty shootouts!" Ancelotti shouted loudly.
…………
…………
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid actively launched an attack.
This was clearly to be expected by Chelsea as well.
To the Blues' surprise, just over a minute into the second half, Yang Yang suddenly disappeared from the left and appeared at the edge of the penalty area on the right, picking up Robben who had pulled the ball to the right.
As soon as he received the ball, Yang Yang turned around and wanted to force his way into the penalty area with the ball, but he was hit left and right by Mikel and Ashley Cole at the same time, and tripped on the periphery of the penalty area, but Yang Yang took the first step to poke the ball into the penalty area.
Due to the principle of offensive advantage, the referee did not award a foul this time.
Ibrahimovic blocked David Luiz with his body, turned around after stopping the ball, and volleyed with his left foot, all in one go, very beautiful, but high!
The Swedish center spread his hands towards Yang Yang angrily, obviously feeling very speechless that he had missed such a good opportunity.
Scoring on the big stage has always been a long-cherished wish of Ibrahimovic, who wants to wash off his big hat, but judging by his performance tonight, he still has a long way to go.
However, Real Madrid's offensive will not be paused because Ibrahimovic missed a good chance to score, but the results of this sudden attempt have given Real Madrid players hope.
Two minutes later, when Yang Yang dropped back into midfield to receive a pass from Xavi Alonso, Robben quietly appeared on the left side of the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area, while the Chelsea centre-back was pulled to the right of the penalty spot by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Coupled with Marcelo on the wing and pulling away from Bosingwa, Real Madrid quickly formed a three-on-three on the left side of the Chelsea penalty area.
……
When Yang Yang got the ball, Mikel was the only one defending beside him.
One-on-one, Yang Yang faced Mikel, and the surrounding situation was all in his eyes.
Marcelo pinned down Bosingwa on the left, Ibrahimovic drew David Luiz to the right of the penalty spot, and Robben suddenly ran down the edge of the box to the left.
This is an opportunity.
Yang Yang made a quick decision, started quickly, forced forward with the ball, and stabbed the ball to the direction of the front of the penalty area before he could shake off Mikel.
Robben sped up, stopped the ball before Cahill, turned his back to the attack, gently flicked the ball sideways, and turned himself to the inside, attracting Cahill's attention and making the England centre-back think that Robben was going to turn with the ball.
Yang Yang comprehended, shook off Mikel as quickly as possible, rushed directly to the penalty area, received Robben's cross, and stepped into the penalty area, swept past Cahill's side, and rushed into the left side of the small penalty area with the ball.
……
Cech's attention has always been on Yang Yang, who is well aware that he is the heart of Real Madrid's attack.
At first he thought Yang Yang would pass the ball to Ibrahimovic, but when he saw Robben running over, he immediately realised that it was another combination between two wingers, as if they had just done on the right side.
The pair collided with the wall in a quick, narrow area, and Yang Yang burst through the Chelsea defence as quickly as possible, showing the superior individual ability of the two world-class wingers, but Cech was desperate to block Yang Yang's shooting angle.
The Czech goalkeeper did not abandon the goal, but stood on the side of the post on the left side of the goal, closely watching Yang Yang's every move.
It was a battle between the world's top scorers and top goalkeepers.
As early as when Yang Yang played for Liverpool in the Premier League, Cech had not fought against Yang Yang, but this time he was obviously more focused and more focused than before, because Yang Yang was more terrifying and difficult than when he was in the Premier League.
When Yang Yang caught up with the ball on the left side of the front of the small penalty area, Cech had a pair of eyes fixed on him, and when he saw Yang Yang catching up with the ball, his left foot had a movement that wanted to get up and hit the goal, he immediately reacted, and moved his right foot towards the post, wanting to block the angle of his shot from the left post of the goal.
But just as he moved, Yang Yang's left foot stood firm, and his right foot quickly kicked out.
From the moment he rushed to the edge of the penalty area to the time he kicked the goal, all of this happened in an instant, Cech didn't even blink, but he still couldn't keep up with Yang Yang's movements.
The only reaction of the Czech door god was, "Damn, fooled!" ”
A right-footed shot sent the ball under Petr's crotch and into the back of the net in a straight line.
The Czech goalkeeper couldn't stop it, so he had no choice but to turn and look at the ball inside the goal line behind him.
After Yang Yang completed the shooting action, the speed of the whole person did not decrease, and he rushed out of the court directly.
Behind him, the whistle of Portuguese referee Pedro for scoring a valid goal suddenly sounded, followed by the cheers of Real Madrid fans throughout the stadium, all of whom were chanting Yang Yang's name.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!”
"In the 48th minute, Real Madrid managed to equalize the score as soon as the second half started."
'Carlo Ancelotti obviously made changes to his team's attacking tactics at half-time and we could see that after the start of the second half, Real Madrid's two attacks were very different from the first half.
"Just now Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right side, received Robben, and created Ibrahimovic's shot, and now Robben suddenly appeared on the left side, answered Yang Yang, completed a beautiful wall-hitting coordination, and assisted Yang Yang to kick the goal in the penalty area and equalize for Real Madrid."
"One to one, the two sides are back on the same starting line."
"Real Madrid started the second half very well, Yang Yang was very excited, and the Real Madrid players all looked very encouraged, which makes us believe that as long as the current momentum is maintained, Real Madrid can hope to score again in the second half and turn the score around."
'Chelsea defended very tenaciously and put in a lot of troops, but they were a bit lackluster against Real Madrid.
