"Pep Guardiola is a genius!"

In the chairman's stand at the Bernabeu Stadium, Baldano shook his head and sighed as he looked at the situation that had stabilized inside the stadium.

Carlo Ancelotti is undoubtedly the world's top manager, from the pre-match preparation to the line-up, Ancelotti is obviously ahead of Guardiola, and in the starting tactics of both sides, Guardiola has obviously made serious mistakes.

It can be said that conceding two goals in a row in the opening game was the result of Guardiola's mistake.

Of course, it would be irresponsible to shift the blame for those two goals to Pep Guardiola, because mistakes on the football pitch are always accompanied by problems with the players themselves, such as Valdés has never been reliable, and Barcelona has always been looking for a more suitable goalkeeper, which is known to the whole world.

But when he conceded the first goal, Guardiola did not mess up, did not adjust, and when he lost the second goal, he still did not move, or did not change his previous judgment, and the result was that Messi led Barcelona to a counterattack and scored a goal.

One to two, the game is full of suspense again.

It was in this context that Guardiola opted for adjustment.

As one of the world's top superstars at the time, Pep Guardiola is clearly more familiar with and understands the mood and emotional changes of his players on the pitch than anyone else, and he brings confidence to players all the time.

And now, after the adjustment, Barcelona stabilized their position and began to control the ball.

'After the first half, he looked like he was scrutinizing and studying and you can see his improvement from this game, which is a terrible thing. Baldano said appreciatively.

Florentino certainly understands Guardiola's brilliance and greatness, but it's not good for Real Madrid.

"But, Jorge, the outside world has always thought that he is too superstitious about his feelings." The Grand Administrator Lei Dongduo said with a smile.

Now that Real Madrid has lost possession, they are still one goal ahead, and the situation is still relatively optimistic.

In the case of a double midfielder, the combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano can still ensure the quality of the team's defense as long as there are no major mistakes at the back, which Real Madrid have maintained for two and a half years, from Rafael Benitez to Carlo Ancelotti.

Baldano nodded, "Yes, that's a problem, but you know, mediocrity will never understand the idea of genius, and all geniuses are superstitious about their own feeling because they are geniuses." ”

After a pause, Baldano pointed to the pitch, "It's like we never know why Messi suddenly retreated to the midfield position just now, but dared to force his way with the ball by himself, and let him give Sanchez such an assist." ”

"In the same way, we have no way to figure out why Yang Yang was obviously attacking the left side just now, obviously going to Ibrahimovic to cooperate, how could he see the unguarded Robben on the far left side?"

The player's vision on the field is limited, and the field is changing rapidly, so to some extent, the player's vision is very narrow, but Yang Yang can see Robben, and Messi dares to break through with the ball.

That's what sets them apart.

It can be said that when they make this choice, they must also judge by their own feelings.

This is true for Yang Yang and Messi, it is true for Pep Guardiola, and even Ancelotti.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the whole world did not know Maradona, including the players of the Argentine national team, because no one could understand what Maradona wanted.

So, Maradona was a great player, but he was doomed to be a losing manager.

The great thing about Pep Guardiola is that he did what Maradona couldn't.

But not every great player in this world can be Pep Guardiola.

"You're right, Jorge." Florentino also spoke at this time, "Sometimes the feeling of genius is more important than anything else, so I have always believed that Zidane will be a great manager, not only him, but also Raul, but also others, such as Xavi Alonso, and Yang Yang. ”

Whether Yang Yang has coaching talent or not, no one has ever questioned this, because he is really, really smart.

Even many professionals in the industry feel that Yang Yang's playing talent is very ordinary, but he belongs to the kind of very smart player, he is good at analyzing and summarizing, his ability to read and analyze the game is super strong, and his insight and deduction ability to the game are incomprehensible to others.

For example, at halftime in the 2010 Champions League final, Real Madrid had no way to face Inter Milan's iron wall, but Yang Yang's plan was to pull and mobilize the opponent's defensive formation through a wide range of transfers, and then create defensive holes, which completely broke the situation on the field.

Is this fresh?

Not new, because that's something that all professionals know.

But Yang Yang put forward such a plan under the special circumstances at that time, according to Real Madrid's own situation and the characteristics of the opponent, which profoundly changed everything about Real Madrid.

Barcelona have been attacking in this way over the past year or two, and Real Madrid have been equally determined to follow this path, bringing in Angel Di Maria and McConn, and this summer bringing in Herrera and Luka Modric.

It can be said that Yang Yang's proposal at that time not only brought a Champions League to Real Madrid, but also made Real Madrid's technical team see another possibility, and then led Real Madrid on the road of stable technology and tactics.

Maybe he's not a genius at football, but his intelligence will certainly make him a genius in coaching.

In Florentino's planning, the future position of Real Madrid coach will definitely belong to Real Madrid's own people, Zidane, Raul, Xavi Alonso, Yang Yang, and even more.

Among them, Zidane, Raul and Yang Yang were put in the most important positions by him.

…………

…………

Pep Guardiola's changes changed the situation on the pitch and helped Barcelona stabilize their position.

Real Madrid was also forced to defend and counterattack, after all, the risk of the double back is still relatively large, and Kaka's position has also retreated a lot from the opening, which has caused Real Madrid to lose possession of the ball.

However, this is also within Real Madrid's estimates.

The first half ended with a 2-1 draw and Real Madrid taking a temporary lead.

At half-time, back in the dressing room, the Real Madrid players were still in a good mood.

Although a goal was recovered in the first half, Real Madrid still took the lead temporarily, and the key was how to play in the second half.

There wasn't anyone in the dressing room talking about that, more about the problems that arose in the first half, such as how Ramos slipped and how Mascherano was suddenly dismantled by Messi......

Discussions like this, even arguments, come up at halftime in every game, and everyone is used to it, and they will tacitly control this discussion within a better atmosphere, so as not to hurt the harmony.

Once a player argues too much, the people around him will immediately step forward to dissuade him, and the person concerned will quickly calm down and shake hands and make peace.

It's a very good habit, but only if no one can blame a teammate for their mistakes.

It's as if no one is going to blame Ramos for slipping on his feet, no one is going to blame Mascherano for getting rid of easily, or for both Kaka and Xavi Alonso not being able to contain Messi, or Pepe not stopping Sanchez in time or anything like that.

There is no point in such accusations.

Yang Yang usually doesn't talk much, because he rarely makes mistakes, and even sometimes, the Real Madrid team will laugh and joke that he is a robot who never makes mistakes, and he is a little scary stable, but he will always sit in his place, analyze the first half, and think about the second half.

He guessed that Carlo Ancelotti should have taken another gamble in the second half.

If it's a draw or a big win, Ancelotti is expected to be defending, but now it's a one-goal lead, which is a very, very unsafe score, and if Barcelona scores another goal, then Real Madrid will be in a more passive position.

So, it's better to take the risk of using the start of the second half to put pressure on again, fight for another goal, and try to score another goal.

A draw is acceptable for Real Madrid, although the situation is not satisfactory for a single game, but from the overall point of view, Real Madrid is still eight points ahead, which is still very advantageous.

If Ancelotti doesn't dare to play in this situation, it will be really disappointing.

……

Just as Yang Yang was thinking, Ancelotti and his assistants pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in.

He first praised the team's performance in the first half, affirmed several points that were done well, and also pointed out some problems that occurred in the first half, thinking that the team needed to be corrected in the second half.

He then made demands on the team's tactics for the second half.

"After the start of the second half, we still have to be brave and bold to press out and try to use the opening to score another goal!"

Carlo Ancelotti analysed some of Barcelona's tactical changes and adjustments in the second half of the first half, and he believes that in the second half, Real Madrid's attack was still concentrated on the two wings, advancing to the edge of the penalty area, and then trying to switch to the ribs and the middle.

'The two full-backs have to be actively involved in the attack, the two midfielders have to be careful to protect the wings, and we have to try to get another goal from Barcelona at the start of the second half, and then Barcelona will go crazy.'

Ancelotti's meaning is obvious, as long as the opening goal can be expanded to three to one, then Barcelona can't even if they don't want to press out to attack, and at that time, Real Madrid will respond with a defensive counterattack.

Of course, Barcelona will definitely guess the possibility that Real Madrid will attack, and the key depends on how Guardiola chooses.

Real Madrid's front four superstars are all top in the world, and their individual abilities are very good.

……

The game was also arranged by Ancelotti, Real Madrid attacked at the beginning of the second half, but Barcelona did not choose to back down, but played-for-tat.

Just two minutes into the second half, Yang Yang was tripped by Pique when he cut inside at the edge of the penalty area.

Yellow card, free kick!
