Yang Yang’s victory!
After Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 away, the famous host of Spain's Serre Radio Manu Calegno highly praised Yang Yang and Real Madrid's performance in his program, believing that Real Madrid's performance is a portrayal of the head coach.
The ever-winning general Yang Yang brought victory to Real Madrid!
"After the setbacks of Lopetegui and Solari, Real Madrid fell into a whirlpool of self-doubt, but Yang Yang's arrival has brought a solution to the team."
"He faces many problems, both minor and serious, both urgent and slow. The most urgent is football itself. The problem comes from the court and his players. They lack self-confidence. Since the preparations for the preseason this season, many people, including me, think that Yang Yang will fail."
"Real Madrid is no longer the arrogant Real Madrid when he won five consecutive championships!"
"But Yang Yang brought a solution to the problem. The seven consecutive defeats in the warm-up match before the season were not intentional, but he did not pay attention to the results of the warm-up match at all. But in the official competition, Yang Yang showed a mature and stable performance, and showed a coaching level that was inconsistent with his age."
"Lapest wins in four consecutive games, big scores and zero goals conceded. Such performance is amazing at any time. Anyone who faces Paris Saint-Germain at this time will want to win the opponent in one go, but Yang Yang showed surprising calmness and rationality at the critical moment, just like he did when facing a shot in the penalty area."
"The start of the Princes Park Stadium makes people think that Yang Yang is going to fight Paris Saint-Germain to death, but after Paris Saint-Germain created the first threat, Di Maria's shot was blocked by Varane, Yang Yang decisively signaled the team to retreat."
"This is not a temporary hasty adjustment, but a purposeful arrangement, because it is not difficult to see from the subsequent performance of the game that Yang Yang's focus in this game is simply on defense, and counterattack is his choice after stabilizing the defense."
Manu Calegno said that the victory after game made people feel the changes brought about by Yang Yang, but what is really surprising is his rotation mechanism for the team and his use of each player.
"With Paris Saint-Germain, the two goals came from Mbappe and Vinicius, the frontcourt center was Jovic, and the Trident was very young, but they both showed strong attack power. This makes people have no doubt that these three players are definitely capable of playing the main role in Real Madrid."
"At the same time, Ferran Mendy is remarkable in defense. The high-speed insertion of the offensive end made people shine. Frankie DeJong has a precise diagonal pass. In the midfield organization, the passing and defense are also quite stable, with a maturity that young players do not have."
"Drigt completely freezes Icardi. His physical ability is excellent. Later, he did not lose the upper hand against Motin. The young player Valverde who came on the bench was also eye-catching. This is his second time as a substitute this season. It is said that Yang Yang likes this midfielder who has both offense and defense very much."
Manu Calegno believes that Yang Yang coached Real Madrid for two months, but it has brought huge changes to the team.
"Many people only see Real Madrid investing 500 million yuan to reorganize the team, but in fact, Real Madrid has only introduced five players, of which Rodrigo was finalized early."
"What is impressive is that Vinicius mentioned Yang Yang in an interview with the media after the game. He said that long before the summer training camp, he had already started physical intensive training in private at Yang Yang's suggestion, which made him perform better and more explosively after the start of this season."
"That time in this game, the right foot cut from the left and scored a strong shot, which made people see the shadow of Yang Yang in the past."
...
In addition to Sel Radio, Spanish media such as Marca, Ass and National have praised Real Madrid's away defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, believing that this victory gave Real Madrid an advantage in the competition for the top spot in the group.
"Yang Yang is reinjecting the victory gene into Real Madrid's body!"
Alfredo, editor-in-chief of Ass, even said, "This is a hopeful Real Madrid!"
But there are also a lot of controversy.
French Parisian wrote an article criticizing Yang Yang's Real Madrid, believing that the team was very cowardly at the Princes Park Stadium.
"They stole a victory from Paris with a kind of unconventional football, and it's not worthy of pride!"
Le Parisien believes that Real Madrid's football has always been proactive and enterprising, and should not be a defensive counterattack like the Real Madrid coached by Yang Yang, which is obviously not in line with Real Madrid's traditional values.
"On the contrary, Paris Saint-Germain, who lost, deserves more respect. Tuchel's team controlled the game most of the time. They performed better than Real Madrid, but unfortunately, the injury defeated them. The conservative Yang Yang just escaped from the Princes Park Stadium by luck."
Not only Le Parisien, but also many media reporters are not satisfied with Yang Yang's performance in the first Champions League match.
A large part of the media and fans are because they have long been unpopular with Yang Yang coaching Real Madrid to achieve results, but some are because they feel that Yang Yang did not bring Ajax's football with all attacks and defenses to Real Madrid, which disappointed them because Real Madrid is playing a football without surprises.
Dutch gold medal football reporter Michel van der Sma said in the column, "Yang Yang is quickly entering mature middle-aged from his youth when coaching Ajax."
Dutch reporters believe that unlike the passion he was when coaching Ajax, Yang Yang at Princes Park Stadium looked more mature and steady. He still considered the problem without any leakage, but he did not have the fearless edge of Ajax's era.
"This is not surprising at all. On the contrary, it proves that Yang Yang is growing and improving."
"As early as when Yang Yang coached Ajax, many world-renowned coaches, including Van Gaal and Ferguson, said that even if Yang Yang won the Champions League, it was just the beginning of his coaching career. If he wanted to continue to succeed, he needed to become more comprehensive and could not be obsessed with Ajax's style."
"Now, in Real Madrid, the amazing investment of more than 500 million euros in the season, the huge pressure of performance, the look forward to countless fans, and the expectations of the club management have all turned into a heavy burden on Yang Yang's shoulders. He can no longer be as fearless as he did when he coached Ajax."
"He began to understand awe!"
"This is a good thing, because only in this way can we continue to move forward and go further."
Van der Sma firmly believes that Yang Yang's conservatism is just a compromise that has to be made for the results because of the enemy.
"But in fact, in La Liga, Real Madrid still insists on offensive football. It can be seen that Yang Yang is still passionate in his bones, and he still longs for offensive football in his heart."
Van der Sma finally called for more time.
"I believe he will prove to the world soon that he is still the same Yang Yang!"

After the first round of the Champions League group stage, no team was as controversial as Real Madrid.
Facing Paris Saint-Germain, who also has the strength of the Champions League semi-finals, although the latter has full camp of wounds, Real Madrid won 2-0 away. No matter where this report card is placed, it is at least an excellent score.
But perhaps it is because the media and fans have too high expectations for Yang Yang that they all feel that although Real Madrid won, their winnings are not glorious, at least they are not beautiful.
On the contrary, in the European professional football circle, Yang Yang's victory was unanimously recognized. Even Tuchel publicly stated at the post-match press conference, "Real Madrid tonight is really desperate!"
"We are very annoyed, but we have no way to deal with our opponents!"
Of course, Tuchel later explained that the reason why there is no way is that many main players retreated due to injury, but this also somewhat confirms the professionals' views on Real Madrid's victory.
More importantly, this game will determine the situation of qualifying in the group to some extent.
In another game, Bruges drew 0-0 with Galatasaray at home, which allowed Real Madrid to top with a three-pointer.
...
Compared with Real Madrid's group stage, Ajax's first game was also away, challenging Napoli.
As a result, the cunning Ancelotti taught the young Ajax a lesson and set rules.
Ajax played very unrestrainedly throughout the game. Tenhag continued Yang Yang's previous tactical system. Although many players were lost, the young players of the team made easy to fill the loopholes. Ajax was still invincible in the Eredivisie.
But in Europe, facing Naples, Ajax has a possession rate of 62% in the game, with as many as 23 shots, but only four shots on the goal.
After a long period of time, Ajax continued to attack until 80 minutes later, and was scored by Mertens and Lorent one after another in the 82nd and 90th minutes.
Ancelotti obviously made up his mind and then acted, that was, let Ajax attack first, and Napoli defended with a 442 formation, defended until the second half, and defended until the end of the game, and Ajax's physical fitness began to fail to keep up, so they made their efforts and decided in the end.
The defending champion lost his first game, and Ajax's prospects for the Champions League group stage are somewhat worrying.
Especially in another game, Salzburg defeated Belgian Genk six to two at home, which undoubtedly made Ajax's group promotion more difficult.
In the next second leg, facing Salzburg at home, Tenghag's Ajax must win.
...
In La Liga, Real Madrid, who just returned from the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, challenged Sevilla away.
Yang Yang once again showed that the opponent was weak and faced the 4231 formation. The whole game was mainly defense, forcing Sevilla to have no chance to shoot the goal. In the 64th minute, Real Madrid defeated his opponent 1-0 away with a goal, and scored another three-pointer.
After this battle, Yang Yang once again complained and criticized.
