1039 This guy is simply amazing!

Yang Yang's words touched Zidane very much.

In his impression, Yang Yang has a high status in Real Madrid. Even Florentino has to pay attention to what he says, but he rarely speaks over the years, especially expressing his opinions and opinions on the head coach's arrangement and tactics.

But he said a lot tonight, obviously because he realized some bad signs in the team.

Zidane himself is a top professional player, has experienced Ligue 1, Serie A and La Liga during his peak period and Galactic Warships during his period. He has experienced the peak and decline of Real Madrid, so his understanding of many things is deeper than that of ordinary players.

These days, he has been thinking about a question, that is, should Real Madrid really play Barcelona-like football?

From preseason to now, Yang Yang has said more than once in an interview with the media that Real Madrid should improve and improve on the basis of giving full play to its advantages, rather than give up on its advantages and blindly transform.

Ancelotti must have heard Yang Yang's voice and must have heard it. However, in this game, facing Barcelona, ​​who has never missed in three years, Ancelotti still wants to try it. Maybe he just wants to try it out to see if Real Madrid's pass and control ability can beat Barcelona?

The price paid is not too high. The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, a one-to-two away score, and a second leg, so this is nothing at all, but the result is worthy of everyone's attention and alertness.

More importantly, losing to Barcelona for the first time in three years is also a big blow to Real Madrid's morale.

It can be imagined that early tomorrow morning, all media will definitely attack Ancelotti and criticize Real Madrid's players. No one cares whether Real Madrid transforms, nor do they care about how many advantages Real Madrid has had against Barcelona in the past three years. They only know that Real Madrid has lost.

Under such pressure, the team undoubtedly needs to analyze and solve problems more calmly.

One of Yang Yang’s views Zidane is very supportive, that is, tolerance.

He is a French player himself. From the conservative Serie A to Spain, it was difficult for him to integrate into the football environment of La Liga. He also performed very badly at Real Madrid. For half a year, he even had the idea of ​​past, but in the end he succeeded in Real Madrid and became a legendary celebrity of the club.

After being immersed in Serie A for many years, Zidane has no special preference for tactics itself. He agrees with Yang Yang's point of view very much. He should be inclusive and tolerant of various styles and characteristics, adopt different strategies according to different opponents, and even in the same game, different tactical styles can be arranged according to different situations.

The rapid defensive counterattack, sharp wing impact, and steady and solid defense are the basis for Real Madrid's achievements in the past three years. Now, what Real Madrid needs is to inject more passing and ball control elements on this basis.

Yang Yang said something very right. Chinese people say that it is easy to break if it is too tough.

Being strong alone cannot last, so Real Madrid needs to inject ball control and creativity into themselves to make themselves more resilient.

Retracting can defend and moving forward can attack. You can not only use passes to control the ball to slip on the opponent, but also use fast and sharp attacks to hit the opponent's weaknesses. It depends on what kind of opponent you face and what environment you are in.

From a macro perspective, inclusive Real Madrid will make it broader in its selection of materials, while in a closed Barcelona will find it difficult to choose players who can fully integrate into their teams, unless they are willing to accept transformation. For example, stars such as Henry and Villa have all undergone transformation, and Yaya Toure has also accepted it.

In Zidane's view, the biggest difference between Rijcard and Guardiola's two Barcelona teams is that the former is more free and unrestrained and inclusive, while Guardiola is more rigorous and meticulous, more stable, but more self-enclosed.

It is hard to say which one is better or which one is not good, but one thing Yang Yang said is right. Real Madrid is destined to be unable to walk the path of Barcelona, ​​and they can only walk their own path if they want to walk.

...

When Zidane recounted his conversation with Yang Yang to Ancelotti, and at the same time explained his views on supporting Yang Yang's views, the Italian head coach also showed a deep thoughtful look.

During the game, he realized the mistake he made, and he had been thinking about this issue on the way back. Now, Yang Yang and Zidane's views undoubtedly made him more sure what he would do next.

"We don't need to protect the ball at all, and we don't need to control the ball like Barcelona. What we need is speed, impact and efficiency. When counterattacking, we need to send a pass from the midfield to let Yang Yang get rid of the defensive players and directly attack the opponent's defense line. During position war, we pull the opponent's defense line through transfer, so that Yang Yang can create opportunities by running without the ball."

Zidane's words made Ancelotti nod constantly, "The area that Barcelona's single midfielder can cover is very limited. As long as we attack one side, attract Busquets to leave the position, and then suddenly move to the other side, we will definitely create an opportunity."

Real Madrid has been very successful in this style of play. Not only facing Barcelona but also facing other teams, Real Madrid is already familiar with it.

What’s interesting is that Ancelotti knows very well that Real Madrid’s playing style was proposed by Yang Yang back then. In the following years, Real Madrid’s signings have basically followed this route.

After a pause, Ancelotti thought about it for a while and analyzed: "When counterattacking, we can use the personal breakthroughs of Hazard, Di Maria, Robben, Modric, David Silva and others to pass the midfield, or quickly get the ball to the wing, and even our quick straight pass is very threatening."

The leading Real Madrid transfer recruitment team was led by Bardano. The Real Madrid lineup, which they can tell is almost perfect except for being a little young, gives Real Madrid a lot of room for tactical choices, and there are all kinds of players in the team.

After Ancelotti and Zidane discussed an idea, they immediately found that as long as they match the right candidate, the possibility of realization is very high. This is undoubtedly the happiest thing for a head coach.

"I think we can continue to try three midfielders," Zidane suggested.

Ancelotti's eyes lit up immediately, "You mean, two technical midfielders?"

He had adopted this idea and tried to transform Kaka into a midfielder at that time, and he performed well in several games.

"In fact, Xavi Alonso's passing speed is not very fast. David Silva, Modric and Herrera's passing speed is faster. What would you say if David Silva, Xavi Alonso and Modric form the three midfielders?" Zidane asked excitedly.

Ancelotti frowned and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It is feasible. Although they are all technical players, as long as they have sufficient tactical execution and high level of attainment, we can make up for the players' personal defensive ability through strict overall defense. The three technical midfielders can maximize the ability to get and take the ball and take the ball in the midfield."

"Yes, David Silva's defensive intention is also quite strong, especially after the training last season, his overall strength has improved very significantly. I think he is competent."

Ancelotti was excited, "David Silva can go up, Marcelo and Hazard on the left, and David Silva can completely suppress the wing. As long as Busquets is pulled to the left, the middle will be vacant. Xavi Alonso and Modric can go up and support, and then move to the right, or even pass directly to Yang Yang."

But soon, Ancelotti shook his head again, "But this is still too risky. The midfield lacks a defensive player who can stand on the spot. Although it is pleasing to attack, how can I curb Messi when defending?"

"Then go to Mascherano or Javi Martinez." Zidane suggested.

"Harvey Martinez, defense is enough, and has a high level and has strong passing ability."

The two of them analyzed each other, as if they were peeling off the cocoon and gradually sorting out the original chaotic situation bit by bit, and even re-seeing the path the team should take next.

Yang Yang was right at all. Real Madrid is not suitable for taking the Barcelona path at all, because Real Madrid does not have such genes. If you barely learn, it will only backfire in the end. Instead of doing this, it is better to just stick to your own path, then absorb other people's strengths and make up for your weaknesses.

After Ancelotti and Zidane gradually calmed down and thought calmly again, they were even more shocked by Yang Yang's analytical ability and his thoughts on football.

In the 2010 Champions League final, Yang Yang proposed a large-scale transfer strategy, giving full play to the advantages of Xavi Alonso's long pass transfer, and ended up defeating Mourinho's Inter Milan in one fell swoop in the final. This strategy has also become Real Madrid's core strategy in the past few years, and it has been tried and done many times, and it will be difficult for other teams to curb them.

Now, Real Madrid is facing restructuring and transformation, and Yang Yang proposed from a macro level that he cannot learn from Barcelona, ​​which will definitely further affect Real Madrid's strategy now and in the next two or three years.

...

"Are you sure he's really just a twenty-five-year-old player?" Ancelotti asked suspiciously.

Zidane nodded with a wry smile, "He has read a lot of books on football theory. It is said that he is reading about UEFA coach training recently. He has also read a lot of research and papers from professional coaches. He has a very good memory and strong thinking and analysis skills, so..."

Ancelotti shook her head with a wry smile, "Then he should take the coaching certificate."

"Yeah, I heard that I'm preparing."

Zidane's answer almost made Ancelotti fall head-on. Are you really planning to take the exam?

This guy is simply!

Not only do he play well, but he is even so strong in technical and tactical understanding and analysis. If he continues like this, which coach can help him in the future?

However, it is a very lucky thing to be able to coach such a player.
