1019 Damn, fooled!
Yang Yang is only 25 years old and has played professional football for eight or nine years. He has also read many tactic-related books. He even took the time to read the textbooks for FIFA training coaches. He has mastered a certain level of primary theoretical knowledge, but compared with professional head coaches like Ancelotti, the gap is still very big.
But this does not mean that Yang Yang's feelings about the game are not as good as Ancelotti. On the contrary, Yang Yang has more feelings, knowing it but not why, while a professional head coach like Ancelotti can understand the reason.
For example, Yang Yang said that Real Madrid has many people in the frontcourt.
This is a very interesting phenomenon, especially when it happened to this game tonight.
In this game, Real Madrid adopted a 4231 formation, but this is just a very general statement for the convenience of ordinary fans. The players' positions on the court are not fixed, but are roughly distributed.
The 4231 formation has many advantages, with more balanced offense and defense. The offense in the frontcourt is more varied than the 442. The double midfielder configuration also allows classic combinations such as Alberda and Baraja, or Xavi Alonso and Mascherano.
Even in recent years, many teams, including Barcelona and the Spanish national team, have been studying the frontless formation. This is a 4231 variant. Fabregas is regarded as the most suitable candidate.
But in recent years, the 4333 formation has gradually emerged.
This is a very cold formation because it is not something that ordinary teams can handle.
The reason is the popularity of reverse-foot wingers.
As the name suggests, when the counter-foot wingers on both sides of the left and right, as well as the assisted fullbacks in the back, the front midfielder in the fourth, second, and third-level three-level formation limits their activity space.
At this time, you have to make a choice, whether you need a front midfielder or a counter-foot winger?
Four and Three are an offensive formation, with more and more changes in offense than Four and Two and Three, and their defense is relatively weak. This leads to the fact that when we have strong personal abilities, we can often gain a wider freedom in the frontcourt when we have players with strong personal abilities.
Whether it is Mourinho's 433 in the period when coaching Chelsea and Inter Milan, or 433 in the period when coaching Rijcard and Guardiola, they have very outstanding frontcourt attackers in the frontcourt, which is something that other small and medium-sized teams cannot have, so they can't play 433 at all.
Real Madrid has tried 433, but Benitez has tried it easily, and he prefers 4231 because he prefers balance, which is his football philosophy, while Ancelotti's arrival is to further release Real Madrid's attack power, so he will actively try 4333, but he does not dare to be too aggressive.
Real Madrid's system was built by Benitez for two years, especially with a classic double midfielder combination like Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, it is too risky to change the 433rd team. Therefore, Real Madrid this season is used in rounds of 433rd and 423rd.
In this Champions League final, Real Madrid used the 4231 formation for the sake of safety.
Facing Chelsea's unbreakable steel defense line and after entering the opponent's 30-meter area and being filled with defensive players, Real Madrid's frontcourt offensive players were under greater oppression and restrictions than usual. Therefore, many problems that were not exposed on weekdays were exposed in the first half of tonight.
This is what Yang Yang said, there are too many people in the frontcourt.
Yang Yang was just a feeling, but Ancelotti could understand what was going on.
So when Ancelotti was at halftime, after Yang Yang finished talking about his thoughts, he made a very obvious change, that is, to pull Kaka back, and Xavi Alonso pushed forward, to the same level as Kaka, and at the same time pushed Yang Yang and Robben forward and turned into three forwards.
This is a way for Real Madrid to change from 4231 to 4333 in the game.
Not only that, Ancelotti and Zidane both affirmed Yang Yang's initiative and firmly called on players to give up all their luck and end the battle within 90 minutes.
"We don't play extra time, we don't play penalty shootouts!" Ancelotti shouted loudly.

…………
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid actively launched an offensive.
This is obviously within Chelsea's expectations.
What surprised the Blues was that just over a minute at the beginning of the second half, Yang Yang suddenly disappeared from the left and appeared at the front of the penalty area on the right, and was connected to Robben who pulled the ball to the right to get the ball.
As soon as he received the ball, Yang Yang turned around and tried to drive the ball into the penalty area, but was hit by Mikel and Ashley Cole at the same time, tripping the outside of the penalty area, but Yang Yang took the lead and stabbed the ball into the penalty area.
Due to the principle of favorable offense, the referee did not make a foul this time.
Ibrahimovic blocked David Luis with his body, stopped the ball, turned around, and shot with his left foot, which was done in one go. It was very beautiful, but it hit high!
The Swedish center spread his hands towards Yang Yang in a bitter way, obviously feeling speechless about his missed such a good opportunity.
Scoring goals on a major stage has always been Ibrahimovic's long-cherished wish. He hopes to wash off his slim hat with a match-footed hat, but judging from his performance tonight, he still has a long way to go.
However, Real Madrid's offensive will not be suspended because Ibrahimovic missed a good opportunity to score. Instead, the results obtained by this sudden attempt have made Real Madrid players see hope.
Two minutes later, when Yang Yang retreated to the midfield and received the pass from Xavi Alonso, Robben quietly appeared on the left side of the front of Real Madrid's penalty area. At this time, Chelsea's central defender was pulled to the right of the penalty spot by Ibrahimovic.
In addition, Marcelo inserted into the wing and pulled Bosingwa away, and Real Madrid quickly formed a three-for-three on the left side of the Chelsea penalty area.
...
When Yang Yang got the ball, Mikel was the only one defending the ball.
One-on-one, Yang Yang faced Mikel, and he saw all the situation around him.
Marcelo was holding Bosingwa on the left, Ibrahimovic attracted David Luis to the right of the penalty spot, but Robben suddenly ran to the left along the front of the penalty area to meet.
This is an opportunity.
Yang Yang made a quick decision and started quickly, dribbled the ball and forced forward. Before he could shake off Mikel, he kicked the ball into the direction of the front of the penalty area.
Robben accelerated and rushed over, stopped the ball before Cahill, turned his back to the attack direction, gently pushed the ball horizontally, turned himself to the inside, attracting Cahill's attention, and made the English central defender think that Robben was going to drive the ball and turn around.
Yang Yang understood it, threw away Mikel as quickly as possible, rushed directly into the penalty area, received a cross from Robben, and walked into the penalty area, flew past Cahill, and dribbled into the left side of the small penalty area.
...
Cech's attention has always been on Yang Yang. He knew very well that Yang Yang was the core of this Real Madrid offensive team.
At first he thought Yang Yang would pass the ball to find Ibrahimovic, but when he saw Robben running over, he immediately realized that this was another cooperation between the two wingers, just like the cooperation on the right just now.
The two of them collided quickly and in a small range to hit the wall. Yang Yang dribbled the ball and rushed out of Chelsea's defense line as fast as possible, reflecting the outstanding personal abilities of two world-class wingers, while Cech closed Yang Yang's shooting angle tightly.
The Czech goalkeeper did not abandon the goal and attacked, but stood on the edge of the post on the left side of the goal, paying close attention to Yang Yang's every move.
This is a battle between the world's top scorer and the top goalkeeper.
As early as when Yang Yang played for Liverpool in the Premier League, Cech had been competing with Yang Yang a lot, but this time he was obviously more focused and paid more attention than before, because Yang Yang was more terrifying and more difficult than when he was in the Premier League.
When Yang Yang caught up with the ball on the left side of the front of the small penalty area, Cech stared at him with his eyes. When he saw Yang Yang catching up with the ball, he had a move with his left foot to shoot. He immediately responded and moved his right foot towards the post, wanting to block the shooting angle between himself and the left post of the goal.
But just as he moved, Yang Yang stood firm on his left foot and kicked out his right foot quickly.
From the moment he rushed to the front of the small penalty area to the point where he kicked the ball, all this happened in an instant. Cech didn't even blink, but he still couldn't keep up with Yang Yang's movement frequency.
The only reaction of the Czech goalkeeper was, "Damn it, I'm fooled!"
The shot from his right foot gave way through Cech's crotch and hit the goal behind Cech in a straight line.
The Czech goalkeeper didn't have time to stop it, so he could only turn around and look at the ball inside the goal line behind him.
After Yang Yang completed the shooting action, his entire speed did not decrease and rushed out of the court.
Behind him, the whistle of Portuguese referee Pedro's effective goal suddenly sounded, followed by cheers from Real Madrid fans throughout the stadium, and everyone was shouting Yang Yang's name.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!"
"In the 48th minute, Real Madrid successfully tied the score at the beginning of the second half."
"Ancelotti obviously adjusted the team's offensive tactics during the half-time break. We can see that after the opening of the second half, Real Madrid's two offenses were very different from the first half."
"Just just now, Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right, responded to Robben and created Ibrahimovic's shot, and now Robben suddenly appeared on the left, responded to Yang Yang, completed a beautiful wall-bumping cooperation, and assisted Yang Yang to shoot in the penalty area to equalize the score for Real Madrid."
"One to one, both sides returned to the same starting line."
"Real Madrid's second half started very smoothly, Yang Yang was also very excited, and Real Madrid's players seemed to be deeply encouraged. This made us believe that as long as we maintain the current momentum, Real Madrid will continue the situation in the first half, and there is a great hope to score another goal in the second half to reverse the score."
