1253 Now it's tricky!
Zidane sighed deeply.
When Real Madrid wanted to send Ma Clarel away, he tried his best to dissuade him. Unfortunately, Florentino did not listen to what he said at that time. At that time, the Real Madrid president was blinded by the success of the previous three seasons.
But in the next three years, professional football taught him the most painful lesson.
Now, Florentino has made a comeback. Although he attaches more importance to defensive players than before, he is actually far inferior to the frontcourt offensive players. Not only Real Madrid, but also Barcelona.
Look, Barcelona's defense is so fragile, but has Barcelona signed up?
No, not only did not, but Alexander Song was loaned out.
For these giant teams, sticking to their football traditions is like some kind of political correctness.
But it was precisely because of the pain of Marklele that Zidane decided to avoid similar tragedies repeating again no matter what. Otherwise, he would be worried about whether the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship could continue to persist.
...
Speaking of this heavy topic, the two of them suddenly lost the interest in continuing to talk.
At this moment, Ancelotti suddenly appeared in the cafe. Seeing the two sitting opposite each other, the Italian suddenly walked over with a smile, pulled out the chair next to Yang Yang and sat down.
"What are you talking about?" Ancelotti asked with interest.
Yang Yang and Zidane looked at each other and laughed.
"We are talking about the Barcelona fans outside, and how to play tomorrow's game?" Yang Yang replied.
Ancelotti suddenly felt excited, "It just so happened that I was worried about this matter. What do you think?"
I asked you, but in fact I looked at Yang Yang.
Zidane is an assistant coach, and his opinion should have been mentioned at the coaching staff meeting. Yang Yang's idea is what Ancelotti cares about the most now, and he is also very clear that he must stabilize Yang Yang, the number one star in the team, no matter what, he has to do.
If even Yang Yang stood up and suspected him, it would be difficult for him to persevere until the end of the season.
Yang Yang frowned slightly, pondered for a while, organized the statement, and then said: "I think it's better to let Mascherano return to the lineup."
"Modric performed well in training, and you saw it before playing Levante," Ancelotti explained nervously.
Yang Yang nodded, "I know, Modric's performance is indeed very good when he beats Levante, but Levante is not Barcelona."
Ancelotti realized that she was a little too nervous and calmed down, "Tell me, let me see."
"Barcelona's midfield is very impactful, Xavi has basically lost his main position. I can conclude that this game should be Iniesta's partner Rakitic. Both players have strong impact and excellent ability to insert back."
Ancelotti and Zidane both nodded at the same time when they heard this, and Yang Yang's words hit the nail on the head.
"I don't deny that Modric is still the best organizational midfielder in the world football world today, but I can feel that his body is indeed falling. If he still keeps playing in the first half, not only will he not be able to stand it, but Tony Cross, a partner with him, can't stand it. The best proof is the Schalke Zero Four."
When the post-match review was over, everyone could see that Tony Cross was like a headless fly, and could only chase Schalke Zero 4 and run because he had no choice.
"Whether we need a stand-alone player between the defense line and the midfield, his presence can greatly alleviate the defensive pressure of Modric and another midfielder, and thus allow Modric to devote more to the organization and offense."
Neither Ancelotti nor Zidane were fools. After Yang Yang said this, they all understood it, and even reacted and realized Yang Yang's tactical proposal for this century derby.
"Do you think you should play defensively and counterattack again?" Ancelotti asked.
Yang Yang smiled, "Luis Enrique plays defensively and counterattack at the Bernabeu Stadium."
After that game, Enrique was also criticized. Many people believe that it was because he gave up the traditional pass and control that he eventually lost the game and ended with a crushing defeat.
But only Real Madrid players who really participated in the game knew that that game was actually very dangerous.
"From the strategic perspective of the whole season, we are four points ahead and are eager to win the game, we should not be us, but our opponents, but they must win in order to shorten the gap as soon as possible." Yang Yang reminded.
When playing strategy, Chinese people have never lost to anyone, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is a great treasure.
For Barcelona, if they cannot take advantage of the Camp Nou game to win Real Madrid and shorten the points gap, then they will then place their hopes on other teams and on Real Madrid making mistakes, which would be too passive.
So they should be more anxious than Real Madrid.
On the contrary, Real Madrid has four points in hand, and even if this game is a draw, they can still accept it.
"From a single game, Neymar has been in poor form recently, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are in great shape, but be aware that Cristiano Ronaldo needs space and Messi needs the ball. We need to squeeze them together so that the two of them cannot form a joint force."
Ancelotti learned from it and soon realized what Yang Yang meant.
"You mean, to fight Barcelona out and make their defensive counterattacks fail, and to turn into a tough battle, forcing them to run back and forth between the midfield and the backcourt, running around, and fighting back if they have the chance, and consuming their physical fitness if they don't have the chance."
Yang Yang nodded, "Busquets just returned from injury. I don't know if it will. Iniesta is no longer at the peak. Although Rakitic is in good shape, Barcelona has also fought on two fronts recently, and their physical fitness is consumed a lot, especially against Manchester City. Therefore, they may be able to deal with the first half, but the second half..."
When Zidane heard this, he immediately understood, "This is true for Barcelona, and even more so for us."
Real Madrid has not only fought on both sides in recent times, but also on the three-line battles. Among them, they have encountered Atletico Madrid and Barcelona continuously in China. Such a hard battle schedule will really kill people.
In addition, the next Champions League quarterfinals also encountered Atletico Madrid, which consumed too much.
"Yes, so we can't take the initiative to fight with our opponents."
Ancelotti and Zidane looked at each other and saw the expression in each other's eyes.
Yang Yang's analysis is very complete. From season strategy to single-game matchups, he can really say that he has done enough effort and has also made a very good judgment on the situation of Real Madrid and Barcelona. In summary, playing defensive counterattack is indeed a very reasonable choice.
Compressing the activity space of Barcelona's frontcourt trident, increasing the distance between Barcelona's three lines, and thus forcing them to run more and connect, which is good for Real Madrid.
But if you want to limit Barcelona's frontcourt trident, someone must be in the midfield position.
Yang Yang didn't say it, but Ancelotti could tell what he meant from his words, that is, Real Madrid needs Mascherano and Ilia La Mendi, and can no longer use two technical midfielders to form double midfielders like Schalke Zero Four.
To put it bluntly, Yang Yang believes that it is difficult for Modric and Tony Cross to regain their dominance in the first half of the game.
Is this true?
Ancelotti held his reservations, but he must also pay attention to Yang Yang's opinions.
As the world's top coach, Ancelotti also reflected on it afterwards. He also realized that he was a little too hasty, which made the players in the locker room feel some suspicion and distrust of him.
Now, he really can't make Yang Yang feel suspicious again, otherwise his situation would be even worse.
"I'll go back and discuss with them now. I'll come up with a plan tonight and have a meeting tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Ancelotti drank the cup of coffee that had been in front of her for a while and stood up and said goodbye.
Zidane hesitated for a moment, curled his lips at Yang Yang, and followed him helplessly.
As an assistant coach, he also has to stay up late.
Yang Yang was the most relaxed. After watching the two of them leave, he smiled and shook his head, and signaled the waiter in the cafe to give him another cup of hot water.
If you really want to be an assistant coach for Zidane, how can you have this leisure in the future?

…………
On the evening of March 22, at 21:00, Barcelona Camp Nou Stadium.
In the 28th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.
Barcelona, who plays at home, has his strongest lineup, with goalkeeper Bravo, Alba, Mathieu, Pique and Alves in the back line, Bousques behind the midfield, Iniesta and Rakitic ahead, and Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the trident.
Barcelona kept putting smoke bombs before the game, threatening that Busquets didn't have time to play, but in fact, Barcelona's midfielder appeared in the lineup. As for how much it recovered, no one knew.
Real Madrid has a 433 lineup, with goalkeeper Courtois, defense line Marcelo, Fermall, Ramos and Carvajal, behind the midfield is Mascherano, David Silva and Modric in the center, and the front court is Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.
Suarez was placed on the bench in this game. As for when he will be arranged to play, it needs to be decided based on the situation on the court.
Obviously, Ancelotti followed Yang Yang's opinion, showed that the enemy was weak at the beginning and took the initiative to retreat.
At the beginning of the game, as soon as Yang Yang got the ball, he was immediately booed by nearly 100,000 fans from the stands of the Camp Nou Stadium. They obviously tried to interfere with Yang Yang in this way, and it would be better to scare him to his heart and fear.
Real Madrid's active retreat surprised Barcelona.
In recent years, Real Madrid has achieved great results, especially in the past two years, they have taken the initiative to attack Barcelona.
Luis Enrique also frowned on the sidelines. His original strategy was to pull Real Madrid out and beat him, but unexpectedly, the old fox Ancelotti, actually retracted.
This is very difficult!
The Barcelona coach kept rubbing his hands and was a little anxious.
Chapter completed!
