In his first show, Yang Yang and Zidane won unanimous praise from media and fans in Spain, Europe and the world. Countless media are analyzing Real Madrid's arrangements in this game.

Just relying on one game, you can't see any specific ideas between Yang Yang and Zidane. At best, they can only see some clues, such as Yang Yang's range of activities in this game is larger, and he often retreats to attract defensive attention.

This is not original to Real Madrid.

In the Champions League final last season, Barcelona adopted a similar tactical approach, allowing Messi to retreat deeply, attract defensive attention, and then plan an offense. This caused considerable trouble for Real Madrid at the time and conceded the ball at the beginning.

Yang Yang and Zidane obviously gained some experience from this this time, allowing Yang Yang to retreat and respond, and then suddenly inserted it. The two goals were the same, all using similar tactical routines, and there were traces to follow.

Based on this change, Real Madrid's offensive investment in both sides was still very large. In this game, Hazard took the ball from the left to create a huge threat. He can be said to be one of the most threatening players on the court, and also made Sporting Gijon unable to defend.

The 5-to-zero victory covered up all the problems, allowing media and fans around the world to see the strength of Real Madrid, and also meet the outside world's expectations for Real Madrid, that is, offense, attack continuously, and play the most beautiful and gorgeous offensive football.

Italian celebrity Sachi commented on this game in his column. He believed that it was impossible to see it with just one game, but it was obvious that Zidane and Yang Yang continued the tactical system of Ancelotti's era and made local adjustments.

"Basically speaking, the Real Madrid team in the new season has a sharper offense and faster pace."

"Whether it is Yang Yang or Zidane, they undoubtedly know Yang Yang's value on the court, so they create opportunities around Yang Yang's running on the court. In addition, players such as Hazard, Di Maria, and Suarez with outstanding personal abilities have enabled Real Madrid to create opportunities in the frontcourt."

"This is a very interesting idea, but overall it continues the tactical system that has been passed down from Benitez to Ancelotti over the years."

Sakki also finally said that he couldn't see everything clearly in one game, but such a five-goal victory, especially on the away game, undoubtedly allowed the two freshman coaches to temporarily gain a foothold, but they should never be careless.

"What determines the outcome of La Liga is often a strong dialogue like Century Derby and Madrid Derby, which is the biggest test for Real Madrid. The reason why Barcelona fell behind last season was that after a crazy victory, they lost to Real Madrid in the Century Derby. I hope Zidane and Yang Yang can learn from it."

But Sakchi's professional analysis cannot conceal the media and fans around the world, and praise Real Madrid for the start of this season.

Including the two cup matches, Real Madrid has played four official games so far, with three wins and one draw unbeaten. Especially considering the finals of the two cup matches, such results are quite impressive.

So much so that after the team defeated Sporting Gijon 5-0, Spanish media immediately shouted that Real Madrid will win another triple championship this season, achieve great achievements and create the greatest legendary achievements in the century-old history of European football.

...

Real Madrid did not participate in the hype of the outside media.

After playing Sporting Gijon, Real Madrid also conducted post-match summary and analysis, and many problems were exposed in the game.

In the words of Zidane and Yang Yang, the team can actually score more goals, but either make mistakes in the pass-cut stage or fail to pass the last pass, many of which can be avoided.

Since Real Madrid does not need to participate in the Champions League qualifiers, they can get a week's rest time in the middle of the week.

Yang Yang and Zidane are both players and know that the players have worked very hard in the past month and a half, so they arranged a full two days of vacation this week.

The day after playing Sporting Gijon, after the morning restorative training, the holiday began to take one day in the afternoon, and then another day off on Thursday. At that time, Yang Yang and many players in the team were going to set off for Monaco to participate in the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony and the UEFA Awards of the Year ceremony.

...

When Yang Yang brought several Real Madrid players to the Grimalti Convention Center, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the audience.

The lottery ceremony and award ceremony have not yet begun, and everyone gathered together and talked.

The arrival of Yang Yang and Real Madrid players undoubtedly made the atmosphere on the scene even more enthusiastic. Everyone was amazed at Yang Yang's youth and his achievements now, especially his transformation this summer.

Player and coach is not without precedent in European football, but it is extremely rare among top giants of Real Madrid, especially Yang Yang is also the number one player in the world and has dominated European football for a long time.

Of course, Yang Yang is not the head coach, but as the chief assistant coach, Yang Yang's power in Real Madrid has reached its peak and its impact on the team is quite amazing. Therefore, during this period, many media and fans have called Real Madrid a team coached by Zidane and Yang Yang.

This statement is not rigorous, but it is not an exaggeration.

Yang Yang has had a wide connection with European football in recent years and has a very good popularity. He was warmly welcomed as soon as he entered the game.

This time, he was accompanied by Suarez, Courtois, Ramos and Hazard, among which Suarez is one of the three candidates for UEFA Player of the Year, and one is Messi.

Courtois was shortlisted for the best save of the year and faced competition from Ter Stegen, who performed very well in the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich, helping Barcelona advance to the final.

When Yang Yang walked into the venue, no matter whether he knew or didn't know him, many people would come forward to say hello. He also kept polite and politely thanked and communicated with the other party.

...

"Congratulations, Yang!"

A familiar and unfamiliar voice came beside me.

When Yang Yang turned around, he saw a burly body, which was nearly two meters tall, Dutch legendary goalkeeper Van der Sar.

"Hey, Edwin." Yang Yang immediately reached out his hand with joy.

He debuted in Ajax and was considered to be of the same lineage as Van der Sar. Although the two have never played in the same team, they are very familiar with each other and have a natural sense of intimacy.

"Congratulations, this one is really beautiful when you start well." Van der Sar congratulated with a smile.

"Thank you, this is just beginning." Yang Yang smiled modestly.

Suarez also saw Van der Sar and immediately came over to say hello to him. Although the Uruguayan striker was not Ajax's youth training, he also entered the top European league from Ajax.

"You are right, it's just the beginning, but to be honest, I've watched the game against Sporting Gijon, and it's very stable."

Van der Sar's vision surprised Yang Yang because he felt the same about this game, and he was stable.

His concepts are very similar to Zidane, both of which require stability and seeking other things on the premise of steadily defeating his opponent.

So, when others, especially many media reporters, are praising Real Madrid's offensive, Van der Sar's evaluation is stable, which makes Yang Yang feel particularly novel, but it also talks about his heart.

And suddenly, Yang Yang also remembered something.

There is a saying in European football that is said to be excellent head coaches often come from the midfield, while the best scouts are often goalkeepers.

This statement must be biased, but it does make sense. The goalkeeper's vision is often very toxic.

"By the way, Edwin, why are you here?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

After retiring, Van der Sar joined Ajax's management team, first as the marketing director, then into the technical team. Now I heard that he has gone further and has a high voice to become the general manager of the team.

In the Dutch Eredivisie last season, Ajax only won the runner-up, 17 points less than the champion Eindhoven. It can be said that he performed poorly, but what's worse is that in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Ajax first played 2-2 away, then played 2-3 at home, and finally lost to Austria's Vienna fast team 4-5, and was eliminated early.

Because of this, it was a bit strange that Yang Yang saw Van der Sar at the Grimalti Convention Center.

When talking about Ajax, Van der Sar shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm here to present the award."

Yang Yang suddenly realized it. Seeing Van der Sar's expression again and thinking about Ajax's poor record, it was indeed a pity.

In the past few years, European football has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Ajax is no longer the Ajax of the past. Not to mention entering the knockout stage, it is difficult to guarantee even if it enters the group stage.

It’s like in this season’s Champions League qualifier, Ajax couldn’t even beat a team like Vienna, Austria, and was still defeated 2-3 at home, which made Yang Yang feel full of loss.

It's the team he debuted!

Even now, in his UEFA file, the youth training team still fills in Ajax. No matter in various files and data, everyone will say that he debuted in Ajax.

It can be said that he will be associated with Ajax throughout his life.

"Don't give up, keep cheering. I believe that with the joint efforts of you seniors, Ajax will definitely be able to regain his strength soon and will come back sooner or later." Yang Yang encouraged.

Although he felt that this was very, very difficult, and even impossible.

Today's European football is no longer as good as it was back then. Now it focuses on capital operations and an era when chaebols are in power. Ajax has neither strong financial resources nor enough attractiveness.

You know, these days, even a 10-year-old player like Martial can sell for tens of millions of euros. Ajax can't afford a leg, and can't withstand such competition at all, and can't keep players.

Van der Sar must have understood this, and after listening to Yang Yang's words, he smiled bitterly.
