1139 Isco
The long season lasts ten months, and countless challenges and crises have to be experienced in the middle.
Any team will inevitably have various problems during the long ten-month journey.
It may be because of the ups and downs of the players, or the injuries of important players, or some players are in a state of trouble, or it may be that a player has been poached by the outside world and no longer focused.
It is precisely because there are various problems that need to be solved by the head coach that some people will say that today's head coach is a very comprehensive profession, not just professional football, but also management skills, communication skills, and even master negotiation and psychology.
In short, football has always been a very, very complex sport.
Real Madrid has encountered some troubles recently, but it is not a big problem, but it is also a headache.
One is that Marcelo was injured. He was injured in the game against Atletico Madrid. At first, he thought it was not a big problem, but the situation did not improve later. After detailed diagnosis, it was probably time to rest.
But this is not a big problem, because Azpilicueta can be competent for this position, even though he is better than attacking.
Another one is contract renewal.
Young player Hesse has shined this season and now there are even signs of being a rotation player, which also makes Hazard more diligent, otherwise it is really possible that he can't suppress the young player.
Hesse has no problem with his potential and talent. In addition, he has followed Yang Yang to practice and physical training in the past two or three years, and his physical fitness has improved greatly and has laid a very solid foundation. In addition, he has performed well in recent years. The more he plays, the more confident he is, the better he plays.
In the game against Getafe, Ancelotti even let him replace Hazard, which shows that this kid can't hold back.
Although Hesse was a little young and frivolous, there was still Yang Yang pressing on his head. Even now when he became famous, he still obediently returned early and late every day, and practiced with Yang Yang more.
He was not convinced by anyone, but he was obedient to Yang Yang. Yang Yang took great care of him both in the locker room and on the court, such as the assist he gave him against Getafe.
This also seems to confirm that Hesse is Yang Yang's apprentice.
As the saying goes, there are people above who are easy to do. With Yang Yang, the big tree, Hesse's status in Real Madrid will naturally rise.
The offensive lineup in the frontcourt was already very competitive, and even Robben was forced to the bench by Di Maria. Once Hesse emerged, the competition would be even more fierce. Morata undoubtedly became the most tragic person.
Both young players, Morata is tall and strong, with a header advantage. He was originally optimistic about partnering with Yang Yang, but now it seems that Suarez and Hesse have obviously more chances because Real Madrid has begun to penetrate the ground more.
But Morata's problem is not a big problem, and Hesse's contract renewal will not be a problem. The real problem is in Isco.
...
The Malaga came to Real Madrid with the halo of European Golden Boys. He helped Malaga play very well in the Champions League and La Liga in the previous season, and shining. After coming to Real Madrid, he quickly showed strong personal abilities, and even showed signs of grabbing the main position.
At the beginning of the season, everyone felt that Real Madrid's 30 million euros were bought for a midfield core in the next ten years, and it was also the world's top midfield core.
But time has changed, and after the stunning early in the season, Isco quickly gradually faded.
David Silva, who was originally pressed on the bench by him, quickly regained the main position, and coupled with a firm and unshakable Modric, Isco was completely squeezed out of the lineup.
Especially recently, whether facing Atletico Madrid or Getafe and Villarreal, Isco is on the bench, but neither has a chance to play, which makes the Malaga people deeply regretful.
After all, he is just a 21-year-old young man. He must have a big gap in his situation and does not know how to adjust himself, which makes him look a little lonely whether he is in the locker room or in the training ground.
In addition, he is introverted and not good at communicating and dealing with people, which makes him look a little out of place in the locker room, but everyone can see his problems and knots, but no one can stand up.
Currently, the two captains of Real Madrid, Casillas and Raul, are similar in personalities. They are both leaders who silently use their words and deeds to lead the team. They rarely take the initiative to communicate with their teammates. Although Ramos is outgoing, he is careless. He basically doesn't care about such small details.
The team is in full swing recently, and the Champions League starts again soon, and Ancelotti and the coaching staff are also in a mess.
You know, Real Madrid has been playing double games for a week since the beginning of the winter break, so busy that they didn't even have time to stop and take a break, let alone worrying about the players' emotions.
During a lunch break, while everyone else was playing games and watching TV in the entertainment room, Isco sat alone in front of the bar in the tea room with a lonely expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Yang, who was about to go back to his room to sleep, suddenly felt aroused in his heart and walked over.
…………

"boiling water?"
Yang Yang came to Isco with the insulated kettle, looked at the empty water cup in his hand, and asked.
When Isco saw that it was Yang Yang, he nodded politely, "Thank you."
He poured him a small glass of water, but Yang Yang did not leave, but stood opposite him, drinking water, while observing him.
In Yang Yang's superficial understanding, Isco should be a player with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.
Real Madrid's current team is full of superstars, but if you want to talk about the ball-control method, Isco said it was second, and I'm afraid no one dared to recognize the first, even Hazard and Marcelo.
Yes, even the left back Marcelo, his footwork was seriously underestimated. Yang Yang even thought that if he had played as a left winger at the beginning, he would probably have been a world-class left winger.
Isco's advantage is his aura. Anyone who sees him playing football will find it pleasing to the eye, very spiritual, and very likable. He is very good at dribbling and extraordinary, and getting rid of it is even more amazing. These are his specialties.
But the disadvantage is also very obvious, the first thing is sticky balls.
In modern football tactical systems, sticky balls are a very serious problem, because sticky balls represent slow pace and low efficiency.
Also, his speed is slow and his body is not in sufficient physical confrontation.
If you are a veteran fan, you will definitely be familiar with a player, that is, the Brazilian genius who once set a sky-high record of transfer fees in the world in Real Betis, and Denilsen, who became famous in the 1998 World Cup.
Denilson is a recognized genius all over the world. Otherwise, Real Betis would not have been so stupid as to spend the world's first price to buy him for La Liga, but he has never been able to adapt to European football. Why?
It's because of his slow speed.
The slow speed leads to no matter how strong his ability or good footwork is, it is useless because he cannot create a threat.
Isco is like this now. He has an advantage in technology, but his speed is slow and his physical confrontation is not strong. After being elegant and elegant, he is soon intercepted by the other party and often faces more fierce pressing.
There is a problem with this, that is, Zidane is also slow, but why can he become a legend?
Because Zidane's physical ability to fight is very strong!
And Isco has no advantage in terms of speed or physical confrontation.
Usually, all Isco can do is to pass the ball quickly and accurately after getting rid of it. This is also a way to create a threat, but Isco's old habit of sticking to the ball limits him.
To be honest, Yang Yang likes Isco very much, his style of playing football, his agility in playing football, and his enjoyment of football, which reminds him of former Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho.
But Yang Yang has to admit that if he was the team's head coach, he would probably have to win Isco, because Real Madrid is not Malaga!
The giants have more choices, and the opponents and challenges they face are more difficult, so the giants have higher requirements for players. Malaga can allow Isco to play the core. Even in Pellegrini's tactics, Isco is like a free agent who is free from the overall tactics of the team, and can perform as much as he wants.
But in Real Madrid, this is simply impossible!
Not only because Real Madrid has a large number of superstars, but also because Real Madrid faces stronger opponents.
...
"Have you ever thought about changing yourself?" Yang Yang suddenly broke the silence.
Isco, opposite the bar, raised his head, stared at him with his eyes, revealing a blank look.
"I played a few games with you, and I have also read a report on you in Malaga. I remember that the head coach Pellegrini asked you to stick less balls and reduce some unnecessary mistakes, but you refused. I was deeply impressed by what you said at that time."
"I like to make new attempts and improvisation in the game. I don't like to grab the ball. I'm tired of running off the ball to get rid of the mark. I like to be extraordinary and not afraid of being cut off. Even when following the national team training, even if it's Xavi, I still want the ball. This is my style, the style of street football."
Yang Yang looked at Isco with a smile, as if asking, am I right?
Isco was a little flattered. Yang Yang had read his reports and even remembered his name. He was not surprised at all, but Yang Yang remembered what he had said before, which surprised him.
"Don't guess what I think." Yang Yang smiled bitterly, "I just simply agree with your words. As many people say, I am not very talented in playing football, and I don't have that kind of talent, so I have always admired and liked players like you or Messi."
Isco was a little shy and shook his head and said, "I can't compare with Messi."
But in his heart, he was happy that Yang Yang put him and Messi together.
