Nowadays, many fans often say that there are fewer and fewer beautiful games!

What kind of game is beautiful?

It all depends on the individual's needs and pursuits, defending and attacking, or balance, can be beautiful!

But there is one thing that must be possessed both offensively and defensively, and that is awareness.

Consciousness includes many types, such as running without the ball, game vision, game thinking, etc., which are all components of consciousness.

To put it figuratively, when you are in a game, you look around, you are surrounded by players, there are opponents and teammates, everyone is moving, how do you know where your position and position are at any time and anywhere?

It's the foundation of a player's integration into the game!

Fitting into the game is just the beginning, and then you have to figure out, should I leave my position? If I'm leaving my position, how do I attack my opponent's position? If I have to hold my position, how do I stop my opponent from attacking my position?

If I move forward with the ball, how do I make sure that I pass it effectively and where?

Those who don't play football will never understand that a player on the pitch is like being in the traffic of an unfamiliar metropolis, and if you don't have a comprehensive understanding of the situation, sorry, you're lost!

All drivers who are lost in the metropolis should know what it is like, confused, hesitant, not knowing what to do, afraid of traffic lights, worrying at the bend, and then finally, exhausted to the point of death, only to find themselves back to square one.

Is it funny?

No. It's not funny at all!

Players on the pitch. It's like a driver driving in a metropolis, and if you want not to get lost, you have to be familiar with the routes in the metropolis. You have to be familiar with the city, know which way to go, and know how to get to your destination.

The driver got lost because of his ignorance of the city. The player is also lost because of his ignorance of the game, and both of these ignorances are actually due to a very important reason that their vision is limited.

Whether it's in the city or on the pitch, all you can see is what we see in front of us, unlike a fan who stands in the stands and looks down on the big picture, they can only see what they see, so when it comes to helping a player integrate into the team, it's not just about instilling a tactical philosophy. It also teaches him how to learn to stand on a higher level and look down on the big picture.

It's very hard, really, trust me. It's very difficult. Because it takes a lot of dedication, and it also requires the players to learn how to use their brains. How to develop your own creativity, such players are becoming less and less common in today's football.

Many managers nowadays are always doing everything possible to limit the players, requiring the players to play according to their requirements and tactics, this is the most basic stage, the more advanced stage, is to release the creativity of the players, so that they can run and chase freely according to the needs of the game, according to their own understanding of the game.

I don't know if this kind of free football is the most beautiful, but at least, in my mind, in my pursuit, he is the most beautiful football!

……

At the pre-match press conference and on Weibo, Yang Cheng asserted that the match with Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao would be very exciting and beautiful, because he, like Bielsa, is a person who pursues football, especially beautiful football.

Yang Cheng has always admired this tactical madman, in his opinion, Bielsa is a reformer who dares to try, but unfortunately, usually reformers often end up not very well, Bielsa and his Argentina are the kind of tragedies. …,

In the 2002 World Cup, Argentina failed to qualify from the group, which was definitely not only due to tactical reasons, but also due to bad luck and bad draws, and the weather and venue were also responsible, and if you want to think about it at a deeper level, it may only be said that Bielsa was too aggressive.

Yang Cheng remembered that when Argentina was eliminated from the group, an Argentine celebrity said that with Bielsa's tactical style of play, coupled with that set of staffing, he would never win the World Cup, because he was too far ahead!

But Bielsa is Bielsa, after the setback of Argentina, he has not changed his pursuit of offensive football at all, and his concept of exerting strong pressure on the opponent has not changed, what has changed is his adjustment at the tactical level, with more emphasis on change and efficiency, which is vividly reflected from Chile in the World Cup in South Africa to Athletic Bilbao today.

Cherish heroes and heroes, Yang Cheng admires Bielsa, why not a madman?

Long before the start of the game, former Argentina World Cup-winning coach Menotti stated in his column that he supported Yang Cheng's team to beat Bielsa, but he expressed his opinion on the final.

"You can lose the game, but what is more important and not to be ignored is the way of the game and the process of how to get the result, so that people can walk off the plane back with an aura of pride and dignity, regardless of the result!"

Menotti knew Bielsa well, but the madman didn't disappoint those who believed in him.

In this match at the Calderón Stadium, Bielsa's tactics were equally impressive.

Despite suffering a complete defeat to Real Madrid in the league, Bielsa did not change his tactical style at all, knowing that he was not up to the task, but he still insisted on playing his own way.

Such an opponent is rare, at least from some of the opponents Yang Cheng has encountered, there are not many people who can insist on doing this, Bielsa, Pellegrini, Ferguson and others, but without exception, the final score ended in a big score.

Therefore, when seeing the lineup lists of the two sides, the on-site commentator gave a preview, thinking that this will be a brilliant final, which is worth savoring and tasting by all fans.

Bielsa did his homework before the game, and he trained specifically for Real Madrid's pressing style of play, and he asked all the players in the front court to put pressure on Real Madrid's backline, preferably to force Real Madrid to open their feet directly, and then use the high ball advantage at the back to control the ball in their own hands.

In order to do this. Bielsa took a more extreme approach to defending. People are staring at people, because in his opinion, there are disadvantages to people being staring. However, the benefits are obvious, there is no need to worry about the Real Madrid players' off-ball runs disrupting the team's defensive formation, but the disadvantages are just as obvious. That is, the weaker side will definitely have to pay more.

Despite the tight pressing, Bielsa demanded that all of his players not be able to make that kind of high-risk tackle, and what he demanded was to stick to the opponent and force the Real Madrid players to be unable to move and pass the ball as they wanted.

After seeing Bielsa's tactics clearly, Yang Cheng had to admire Bielsa's courage and determination, at least he dared to show how tough and unyielding tactics came out when facing Real Madrid. It's not easy in itself, especially since it's a Copa del Rey final.

"A madman is a madman!" Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head.

Raul could hear that Yang Cheng was in Kwa Belsa. Because judging by the 20 minutes after the opening. Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao are evenly matched, with neither side taking advantage of the other. …,

But that's all there is to it. However, Real Madrid still relied on their own strong strength to occupy the initiative of the game, while Athletic Bilbao was in a passive defensive state, but no one was able to create an effective threat.

"Shouldn't we make adjustments now?" Raul felt that the time was almost up.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Then what do you think?" ”

Raul frowned, "They rely on man-to-man tactics to interfere with our defense, the purpose is clearly that they don't want to disrupt their formation and defensive arrangement because of our players' running and positioning, I think we should seize this point to make a fuss, encourage players to break through multiple people, rely on our personal strength advantage, break through their one point, create chaos, and then hit the opponent's entire defensive surface!" ”

Yang Cheng couldn't help nodding, "From the point to the surface, it's good, what else?" ”

Raul was stunned for a moment, and he thought of a solution, and for a while there was no better idea.

'There's also a way to get our players from the back to be more involved in the attack, do you notice, Llorente isn't fast, but whether it's Kompany, Ramos or Thiago? Silva, who has an advantage in speed and we have an advantage in numbers, can be plugged in with the ball at the back and open up the Athletic Bilbao defence. ”

Yang Cheng always looked at Raul when he spoke, he noticed that Raul's eyes seemed to be a little worried, and smiled slightly, "The best defense is offense, if you are worried about the risk of pressing on the back three, Xavi?" Alonso's midfielders could drop back a little bit to better protect the backline. ”

After Raul heard this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, because he also watched the process of the game, but he could only think of one way, but Yang Cheng came up with two ways, which represented the gap between the two of them in terms of tactics and on-the-spot command.

But don't underestimate these two gaps, if you just follow Raul's proposal, Bielsa will be easy to re-limit as soon as you adjust, but according to Yang Cheng's idea, if you take a two-pronged approach, Bielsa wants to solve Real Madrid's two adjustments at the same time, and at the same time plug her own loopholes, which is undoubtedly very difficult.

Thinking of this, Raul couldn't help but admire Yang Cheng's grasp of the team from the bottom of his heart, as well as the use of tactics and insight, at least his skills are not available to Raul at present, this is a skill that Yang Cheng has cultivated after more than ten years of accumulation, and it is the embodiment of his coaching ability.

Of course, sometimes this kind of tactical use and adjustment is not a panacea, if the player does not have enough ability or awareness to execute, no matter how good the tactics and adjustments are, it will be in vain.

…………

…………

There is a way that as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

As soon as Yang Cheng adjusted, the situation on the scene immediately changed.

In the 24th minute, Thiago? Silva passed to David? Silva, who pulled to the left side to get the ball and formed a breakthrough, Ronaldo Jr. caught the attention of defenders on the left side, David? Silva passed the ball to the right post at the back post, and Kaka, under the instigation of Messi and Aguero, suddenly ran to the point, and the cross that was close to the goal of Athletic Bilbao, 1:0!

After the goal, Kaka rushed out excitedly, and the whole person kept running on the field. Rushed to the front of the home team's dugout. A tight hug of their manager, this was their previously agreed goal celebration for the next three games. Once they scored, they all had to celebrate with Yang Cheng.

Bielsa looked depressed, the two reasons that the madman was most worried about. Fitness and cards, but I didn't expect that in the game, these two factors did not become a problem for Athletic Bilbao, but Real Madrid broke through Athletic Bilbao's defense and caused their own mistakes and missed people to score. …,

What does this make Bielsa say?

Soon, only 7 minutes passed, and in the 32nd minute, it was Real Madrid's breakthrough that disrupted Athletic Bilbao's defense, this time it was Messi's dribbling from the right that made a mess of Athletic Bilbao's left side. Then taking advantage of the chaos to send the ball into the box, Aguero scrambled to shoot and was saved by the goalkeeper. After Ronaldo wins the ball near the penalty spot. An easy push shot penetrated the Athletic Bilbao goal again. 2：0！

The Portuguese still went to Yang Cheng to celebrate after scoring the goal, and Bielsa saw the problem at once.

The two goals in a row were almost all attacks from the Real Madrid defenders with the ball forward, which obviously disrupted Athletic Bilbao's defensive system, and the players leaked in order to mark people, which was the biggest problem with man marking.

Bielsa quickly made adjustments, asking Llorente to strengthen the blocking of Real Madrid's back line, and at the same time allowing the two forwards to retract and the midfield to retract, firmly clamping down on Real Madrid's attacking combination, trying to stabilize the situation first, and then slowly try to counterattack.

Bielsa's adjustment quickly dragged the game into a stalemate, and that deadlock remained until the second half.

"Did you notice, Raul?" Yang Cheng smiled and asked Raul beside him, "Bielsa is starting to be a little scared, so he always arranges one more defensive force than us in the backline, in order to be able to fill the hole caused by the man-to-man being broken and retracted." ”

Yang Cheng's adjustment was successful, but Bielsa's response was no worse.

Now that the game has been played, it can almost be said that it is no longer a question of how many scores, but a confrontation at the tactical level of the two head coaches, to see who has the best skills.

If Yang Cheng continues to allow Athletic Bilbao to lock up Real Madrid's attack, then even if he wins, this game will not be honorable, because he was finally blocked by Bielsa and unable to move.

"Since he wants one more person than us, then I'll add fire to him!"

Speaking of which, Yang Cheng directly waved his hand and immediately replaced Ramos with Klose, and actually played 4 forward tactics in front, and there were 2 central defenders left in the back line, of which Kompany's main responsibility is to watch Llorente.

This substitution was not only surprising for Raul, but even Bielsa was surprised, and at the same time felt sad, because Yang Cheng was forcing him to go crazy together.

"Everybody says I'm crazy, but in my opinion, he's crazy, and he's the smartest crazy person in the world!" Bielsa said with a wry smile.

The reason why I say this is because Yang Cheng replaced the fourth striker, which makes it necessary to add a defender and cut an attacking player if Bielsa wants to continue to maintain the numerical advantage, so that Athletic Bilbao's offensive threat to Real Madrid has been weakened a lot, and Real Madrid seems to have only two defenders, but because the pressure is much less, the solidity of the defense has also been guaranteed.

If you want to say it, Bielsa feels that Yang Cheng's substitution really brings the concept of "offense is the best defense" into full play, and more importantly, he has no choice but to follow Yang Cheng.

In the end, Real Madrid is too strong!

Just when Bielsa was hesitating to keep up with Yang Cheng, Real Madrid scored again.

Xiao Xiao Luo forced a break down the left side and then hit the penalty area, attracting the attention of the defense and knocking back, David? Silva passed diagonally to the right rib of the penalty area, and Messi got the ball and rolled out a curling ball, which hung in the far corner of the goal, 3:0!

Real Madrid, who scored consecutive goals, looked like a rainbow of morale, while Athletic Bilbao began to slump, because the game has been played so far, 76 minutes have passed, and there is not much time left, but the score is 3 points behind, and everyone can see that Real Madrid can already be said to have won the game. …,

Bielsa seemed to have given up the game, and finally chose to replace two youngsters to come up and practice, and Yang Cheng quickly made two other substitutions, both of which were replaced by Castilla's youngsters, giving them some opportunities to exercise.

In the end, in the Copa del Rey final at Calderón Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3:0 with the goals of Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi and won the second championship of the new season, and because the league championship trophy has not yet arrived, the Copa del Rey has become Real Madrid's first championship trophy this season.

After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, all the fans in the stadium stood up and applauded the wonderful performance of the two teams, whether it was the victorious Real Madrid or the defeated Athletic Bilbao, the process of this game was very exciting, both sides did not have the slightest reservation and conservatism, it can be described as a bloody hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

Real Madrid won in the end, more importantly, relying on Yang Cheng's on-the-spot command and the player's personal strength, but Bielsa's team did not lose completely, at least they won everyone's respect at the beginning and in the process of the game, especially Bielsa's opponent Yang Cheng.

So after the game, Yang Cheng walked to Bielsa for the first time and affirmed and appreciated this famous madman.

But what I didn't expect was that Bielsa immediately said, "From today onwards, whoever says that I am a madman, I will fight with him, because in my opinion, you are a madman, and a smart madman!" ”

In this regard, Yang Cheng didn't know whether to be happy or cry!
