Sun Tzu's Art of War says that the superior army attacks the plan, the second is to attack diplomatic relations, the second is to attack troops, and the next is to attack the city.

There are still differences between high and low in these four levels, such as the plot and the plan of attacking and the plan of attacking each other. This is obviously the supreme level of a soldier who defeats others without fighting, and it is also the strategy that Sun Tzu most admires in the Art of War.

As the precious legacy of the ancestors of China, Sun Tzu's Art of War has not only influenced China, but has also been highly praised around the world. Its English translation is called [The Art of War], and it has a huge influence all over the world.

After thousands of years of promotion and inheritance, Sun Tzu's Art of War has long been more than just a military book strategy, but more like a wisdom. It has been widely used in various fields, from the country to the enterprise to the personal life, almost everything is applicable.

Similarly, football is known as a war without gunpowder, so it is naturally the same.

...

As a world-class coach with rich coaching, Ancelotti is not without strategic awareness, nor does he not see the strategic differences between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but he has his own considerations.

For example, he has always been obsessed with playing the beautiful offensive football in the first half.

This is how people are. When you focus too much on a certain direction, your vision will become narrow.

In teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​offensive football is like a political correctness. Whether you can play or not, you must treat it as a goal and "work hard" to get closer to it.

Therefore, head coaches like Capello and Benitez can't stay in Real Madrid for long.

Ancelotti's coaching reached its peak in the first half of the season. During the Christmas lunch, he was even arranged to sit next to Florentino. The respect for his status can be seen, which also made him long to regain the state he had in the first half.

With obsession, one will inevitably confine one's own thinking and many things will become paranoid.

The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear, and this is the truth.

But Ancelotti and Benitez are very different.

Espanyol has always been known for his stubbornness and he almost never compromises, so he only coached at Real Madrid for two years, so many people have been complaining about him because he laid the foundation for Real Madrid, but he won the triple-champion and Grand Slam in his first season as Ancelotti coached.

Marrying for others makes Benitez still regretted by countless fans even now.

But after thinking deeply, isn’t this Benitez’s own problem?

Ancelotti is more sleek and has a personality that is not as strong as Benítez. He likes to communicate and often listen to it. More importantly, he always knows clearly what he wants and what he should want.

For example, now, he is very clear about his situation and situation in Real Madrid. He understands that the players in the locker room have doubts about him. He also knows what problems he has had, but the season has begun to enter the sprint stage. He has no time to stop, slowly make up for his mistakes and heal the team's scars.

This is the cruelty and urgency of the league.

So, he knew that he needed Yang Yang's support and that he could not lose when facing Barcelona.

Whether it is losing Yang Yang's support or losing to Barcelona, ​​it will further aggravate his poor situation in Real Madrid's locker room, and may even make him unable to last until the end of May.

So, the Italians compromised!

He believed that with Yang Yang's character, even if he really couldn't beat Barcelona at Camp Nou, his situation would not worsen.

To a certain extent, Yang Yang is his life-saving talisman.

As long as Yang Yang continues to trust him, his position will not be easily shaken.

After understanding this, Ancelotti had only one choice in the century derby, that is, listen to Yang Yang, go to Mascherano, and take a defensive counterattack to deal with Barcelona.

…………

…………

The game started with a dull start.

Louis Enrique is obviously looking forward to Real Madrid's initiative and taking the lead in the visit, so he is still trying to face Real Madrid's attack with a stable defense, but unexpectedly, Ancelotti also put forward a defensive counterattack strategy.

This is embarrassing.

Fortunately, the fanatical atmosphere created by Camp Nou fans concealed the conservativeness of the two teams at the start, and their booing to Yang Yang became the biggest highlight of the game's start.

It was not until the seventh minute that the two teams made the first shot in the game, a shot from Yang Yang's right side of the penalty area, but it was slightly off. The Barcelona fans in the game made a tide of ridicule and insult.

What is really interesting is that in the subsequent slow-motion replay, everyone can see that at the moment when Yang Yang kicked the ball, the Barcelona fans in the stands behind the Barcelona goal suddenly stood up and interfered with Yang Yang with all their extremes.

"Maybe, Yang Yang was really shocked by the sudden action of the fans."

Real Madrid then continued to adopt a stable strategy, but still frequently gained opportunities.

Everyone can see that Barcelona has lost its midfield advantage over many years.

In the same three midfielders, Real Madrid's David Silva, Mascherano and Modric's combination is excellent in terms of passing and ball control and defensive coverage, especially David Silva and Modric, who firmly helped Real Madrid control the rhythm of the game and take out the ball.

On the other hand, Barcelona played very conservatively. As soon as Real Madrid got the ball, he immediately retreated to the outside of the penalty area. The combination of Rakitic and Iniesta was not as good as that of that year, which put Barcelona at a disadvantage in passing and controlling the ball.

To a certain extent, Real Madrid's strategy is indeed somewhat conservative. If you put a big push, you can completely suppress Barcelona in the midfield and then form a strong offensive momentum.

But the problem is that once you press the strong attack, the space behind you will inevitably be exposed, and this is the counterattack space that Barcelona or Luis Enrique wants.

On the contrary, like Real Madrid, after holding the ball, they patiently look for opportunities, stabilize the rhythm, pull up Barcelona's defense, and lure them to take the initiative and consume their opponent's physical fitness. This actually frustrated Louis Enrique's plan.

...

Barcelona's first shot in the game occurred in the 18th minute, which was indeed a very surprising one.

Neymar broke through on the left and created a space cross. Cristiano Ronaldo headed the ball near the penalty spot and missed, failing to create a threat, but it also made everyone realize that this was Barcelona's first shot.

It took a full eighteen minutes to score the first shot!

Anyone can see that Barcelona did play awkwardly, or passively in this game.

After the opponent made his first shot, Real Madrid continued to defend and counterattack steadily.

On the court, Ramos was responsible for stabilizing the defense line, while Yang Yang was responsible for stabilizing the midfield and frontcourt. The two of them echoed each other one after another, and kept reminding and calling on their teammates, especially Yang Yang.

At this time, Yang Yang's calmness and rationality seem particularly precious, and he can always give correct instructions in a timely manner on the court.

More importantly, he has a high prestige in the team and everyone has to listen to what he says.

Mascherano was in charge of the midfield and backcourt, and Modric and David Silva in the midfield both had good defensive abilities, which allowed Real Madrid's two-wing offense to be released, especially the two sides of Carvajal and Marcelo, who performed very actively.

Once Real Madrid seizes the opportunity and launches a counterattack, the two wings will be inserted very firmly.

Whether it is Marcelo, Hazard, David Silva and Yang Yang on the left, as well as Carvajal, Di Maria, Modric and Yang on the right, the two different offensive combinations have made Barcelona suffer when defending.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Barcelona's central defender Mathieu knocked down Yang Yang and received a yellow card; in the 37th minute, left back Alba clashed with Di Maria in defense, and the two of them received a yellow card at the same time; in the 44th minute, Pique knocked down Yang Yang and received a yellow card again, but unfortunately Yang Yang's subsequent direct free kick failed to score.

In the final stage of stoppage time in the first half, Alves made a foul while defending Hazard and received a yellow card again.

Five yellow cards were given in the whole first half, four of which were given to Barcelona and one to Real Madrid.

This made Camp Nou fans extremely dissatisfied. In their eyes, the referee's law enforcement is too biased. The number of yellow cards is so much different. How could this seem like fair law enforcement?

But in fact, this has a lot to do with Real Madrid's style of play. In a rapid counterattack, he often uses the speed of Yang Yang, Hazard and Di Maria to quickly and sharply attack Barcelona's defense line. This makes Barcelona defensive players tired of dealing with it, but often make mistakes and have to be forced to foul.

And as long as you foul, you will get the card.

Thanks to Barcelona players who are quite calm, they usually make fouls on the side or in a more biased position. If they are close to the middle, it is equivalent to giving Yang Yang the opportunity to give a direct free kick, and he has long been behind in the score.

But getting so many yellow cards in the first half is also heartbreaking.

Louis Enrique seemed extremely distressed, especially in the last stage of the first half, Pique and Alves won two yellow cards in just over two minutes, which made him furious on the sidelines and extremely angry.

In this way, the entire defense line will be all the cards.

In football games, yellow cards are like tight spells, especially for defensive players, which will seriously limit their performance on the court. Now, Barcelona's defense line is all the cards.

Busquets did not win the cards, but his performance was not active, so he could only be considered a fair-looking one.

In this case, how to play in the second half?

Not only that, Louis Enrique also realized that there were problems with the players' physical fitness, which was why they won consecutive cards in the last stage of the first half.

I have a little physical condition and can't keep up when defending, and I will be past without fouls.

"Damn it, what's the tactic that old guy Ancelotti thinks of? It's so terrible!" Louis Enrique was so angry that he cursed. It's so shameless. Is there anyone bullying people like this?
