1657 The Gambler's End

The moment the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, overwhelming applause sounded at the entire Bernabeu stadium.

Everyone on the home team's coach's seat and bench, walked to the sidelines like the fans in the stands, giving warm applause to the players on the court and themselves.

The scoreboard shows the final result of this game, five to zero!

Real Madrid once again completed this traditional goal slaughter against Barcelona!

Barcelona players all looked very depressed, basically with their heads hanging down and couldn't get enough interest.

This is not surprising at all, because so far this season, Real Madrid has completely lost both games. Valverde had lost 0-3 to Real Madrid at Camp Nou, and now Setien is a visit to Bernabeu, losing 0-5 to 5.

Real Madrid coached by Yang Yang made everyone desperate with two centuries of derby.

On the contrary, the home team, whether it is the fans, players or staff, all seemed very excited.

Five to zero, this is another score recorded in the history of the two teams' football.

More importantly, this is Yang Yang's first season coaching Real Madrid.

...

Compared with the five to zero that many people pay attention to, Yang Yang pays more attention to the performance of the players.

Unlike the previous match against Dortmund, Real Madrid's veterans have all played their value in this game.

Suarez, Modric, Marcelo, Ramos and Tony Cross, these veterans have also played an important role. Even Tony Cross, who is not smooth in footwear, still shows extremely high standards in passing and scheduling.

Even Yang Yang has to admit that at this stage, Frankie DeJong is not as good as Tony Cross in passing and organizing and scheduling, which is also the most obvious gap between the Dutch midfielder and Tony Cross.

Of course, Frankie DeJong has his own advantages and can appropriately make up for this disadvantage, and he is still very young.

To a certain extent, what Frankie DeJong is more worth looking forward to is the future.

Marcelo also performed well. He performed very actively in this game and played a very high level with Carvajal on the right, which also enabled Real Madrid's two-wing flying tactics to work.

Marcelo is actually not very old, only thirty-one years old, but his economic level has indeed declined a lot in the past two years.

Ferran Mendy is young and has great potential, but in many ways he is still inferior to Marcelo.

Yang Yang did not have too much obsession with this group of veterans. Although they had fought side by side for many years, Yang Yang knew very well that they all had their own pride and dignity.

Reorganization this summer is imperative, Real Madrid has begun to sign up for summer, and the only thing Yang Yang can do now is to bring them a glorious and decent farewell ceremony as much as possible.

...

"Beautiful job!" Yang Yang hugged the Brazilian player vigorously to face Vinicius who came down.

"Thank you, boss!" Vinicius looked much more relaxed.

Obviously, that goal means extraordinary to him.

From now on, he has surpassed Messi and became the youngest goalkeeper in the derby in the century since the 21st century. This is an honor, but also an expectation for him.

Few people would expect Vinicius to reach the height of Messi, let alone chasing Yang Yang, but at least, this honor makes people full of expectations for his future and believe that he can become one of the most important players in Real Madrid in the future.

Yang Yang also had high hopes for Vinicius, because the Brazilians were indeed quite active on the wing.

Hazard is already twenty-nine years old. With his personality, Yang Yang doesn’t know how long he can maintain his condition. After all, he has won so many championships. Perhaps his biggest pursuit now is personal honor, but what about it later?

Mbappe, Vinicius, Sancho, and even Rodrigo, these players are what Yang Yang is most looking forward to.

"Looking back, I'll ask Harvey to prepare a video clip for you, take a look at it yourself, and while you still have memories, think carefully about why this problem occurs." Yang Yang ordered seriously.

It is a good habit to review the game after the game.

Yang Yang was afraid that Vinicius would not be aware of it, so he arranged his post-match homework for him personally.

"I know, boss." Vinicius was not a well-behaved person, but he was always convinced to Yang Yang.

"The body needs to continue to improve, and there is also a reverse foot. Although you have entered that ball, you have to know that under the circumstances, the left foot has an advantage over the right foot, so the reverse foot must be well practiced." Yang Yang continued to remind.

Vinicius nodded heavily, and he was also used to Yang Yang's arrangement of post-match homework for him.

In the past six months, under the supervision of Yang Yang, he has begun to carry out physical intensive training, and his physical fitness has improved significantly.

He lives well and has a fast speed. If he can train his body, his future will be brighter.

...

After encouraging Vinicius, Yang Yang sent the players into the player channel one by one and turned around and walked towards the visiting team coach's seat.

Setien seemed very depressed, but when he saw Yang Yang coming, he kept smiling politely, greeted him, and reached out to Yang Yang from afar, "Congratulations, Yang!"

"Thank you, Kiko!" Yang Yang held Setien's hand.

"It was a wonderful game, but unfortunately, we didn't play as well as we should." Setien couldn't hide his loss.

Yang Yang smiled slightly, but he had some thoughts in his heart.

This was indeed a wonderful game, but Barcelona failed to perform at the right level. Setien's arrangement also had a certain relationship. At least he gave up Barcelona's traditional 433 and instead adopted a balanced position of 442.

Of course, Yang Yang could understand Setien's worries because Barcelona's current situation is indeed worse.

The players are aging, and the core soul of the team Messi is also old, Busquets, Rakitic, Vidal, Pique...

These core players of the past are now old, which makes it difficult for Setien to muster up the courage to fight against Real Madrid.

If you really play against each other, Yang Yang will be confident that Barcelona will lose even worse.

Many people cannot understand why Barcelona chose Setien, but Yang Yang knows something.

On February 10, 1995, in the 21st round of La Liga, Santander Athletics, led by former Spanish national team coach Vicente Miera, played at home against Cruyff's Dream Team coached.

The result is surprisingly that Santander Athletics, which ranked 18th in La Liga at the time and was fighting for relegation, actually had an amazing combat power at home. He first scored a goal before the end of the first half and scored four goals in the second half. In the end, he defeated Barcelona five-to-zero at home.

Setien was at the Santander Athletics at the time and was also the captain of the team. In the 52nd minute of the second half, he scored a header.

Although he led the team to defeat Barcelona, ​​Setien praised Cruyff's Dream Team. He was very obsessed with the way of passing and controlling the ball, but in his time as a player, he could not have joined Barcelona, ​​and he was already thirty-seven years old at that time.

After transforming into a head coach, Setien, although his coaching experience was not obvious, he has always been a standard Cruyff believer and always insisted on passing and controlling the ball. In May 2018, because of his performance in coaching Real Betty, he received the "Head Coach Who Best Represents Cruyff Values" award from the Cruyff Foundation.

It can be said that this award represents recognition of Setien's coaching style and ultimately led to him coaching Barcelona.

Of course, on November 11, 2018, leading Real Betis to defeat Barcelona four-to-three at the Camp Nou Stadium was also a powerful answer submitted by Setien in front of Barcelona's management, using pass-by football to defeat Barcelona.

It is precisely because of all kinds of pasts that Setien finally took the position of Barcelona coach whom he had always dreamed of.

But tonight, he finally chose to "betray".

Yang Yang could guess the pain and entanglement in Setien's heart at this moment.

This must have been his careful decision, but it eventually led to a 0-5 defeat.

He lost the bet!

Perhaps it is not just a century-old derby, but also a loss of his future against Barcelona coach.

Barcelona is like a hot potato today, a bit like Real Madrid last summer.

Messi is old and no longer as brave as he was back then. Griezmann has not been able to play for a long time, Dembele, Coutinho and others are not satisfactory, Artur is in a state of ups and downs…

Barcelona has a lot of problems now, all of which emerge in one breath. Setien lacks enough prestige and personal influence, making it difficult for him to press the locker room, especially big guys like Messi and Pique.

In this case, what he can do is actually very limited.

It was as if at this moment, Yang Yang stood in front of Setien as a winner, and what he could say and do was very limited.

He sympathized with Setien, but the Barcelona coach obviously didn't need his sympathy.

Finally, thousands of words, Yang Yang summed up in one sentence.

"Continue to come on! I believe you can do better!" Yang Yang stretched out his right hand again.

Setien felt the kindness from Yang Yang, held Yang Yang's hand, and nodded heavily.

He was very envious of Yang Yang, and even a little jealous.

As the number one player in the world football world, Yang Yang has the advantage when he debuted as a coach, not to mention leading Ajax to the Champions League in his first season, which is definitely an incredible achievement.

Although this is very sad, Setien knew very well that standing next to Yang Yang, media and fans around the world would only pay attention to Yang Yang and automatically ignore his existence.

Even after such a crushing defeat, no one would notice him.

In front of the world, only Yang Yang, whose light shines all over his body, is the focus of their attention.

Not to mention, Yang Yang is not only a false reputation, he also has hard work and diligence that is not inferior to anyone, as well as his outstanding coaching ability and technical and tactical qualities.

"This game... I lost without any wickedness!" Setien murmured to himself as he looked at Yang Yang's back.
Chapter completed!
