Bernabeu Stadium, visiting team locker room.

This should be the first time Real Madrid has used the visiting team locker room in recent years.

In order to give players a better preparation environment, Real Madrid also made appropriate rectifications in the visiting team's locker room before the game, and also arranged more staff during the game to provide all-round services to the players.

This is the advantage of home games.

The temporary backwardness in the first half made Real Madrid players feel depressed, and the opponent's strict defense made the team very frustrated, but they had no choice but to do so, so that after returning to the locker room, everyone was silent.

Yang Yang sat in front of the wardrobe, raised his head, covered his face with a wrung towel. A club masseur squatted in front of him was massaged by his muscles on both legs. He cared about it from time to time, but Yang Yang did not respond.

He was thinking about something.

The other players in the locker room were also thinking about things, so no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

Diego Milito's goal hit Real Madrid a lot, especially on the psychological level, so that everyone now knows that changes must be made in the second half, but no one knows how to change.

Or, no one can see the hope of winning.

Mourinho's Inter Milan is really desperate on the defensive level.

...

Benitez walked into the locker room, and the expressions on his and Yesterdam's faces looked very serious.

Obviously, they all realized the difficulty of the second half.

Any team can only have one way to attack when facing Inter Milan.

The problem Real Madrid is facing now is that they must score at least one goal in the 45 minutes of the second half.

Benitez actually couldn't come up with a very effective solution, because this time he was facing a wall of iron and he emphasized the need to speed up and transfer, but there were not many specific details.

Real Madrid is like Barcelona in the semi-finals, and they really can't come up with an effective offensive strategy.

The players also clearly felt this and felt empty and unconfident.

It is not enough to question Benitez, but he must be somewhat disappointed.

Casillas also realized this. As the team's captain, Raul's captain is the only candidate for the captain after leaving the team. Real Madrid goalkeeper stood up to encourage his teammates, hoping that everyone can continue to work hard and strive to show off their momentum in the second half and create more opportunities.

But such a slogan doesn't make much sense, because Real Madrid has performed well enough in the first half.

At this time, what the team needs is effective and targeted strategies.

Players need to see hope!

As long as there is hope, they will have enough confidence and confidence!

In terms of player strength, Real Madrid's lineup can be said to be the best in the world. As long as they have enough confidence, they are not afraid of any team.

Casillas also realized that his teammates were indifferent to their interest. He obviously knew that his words had not been able to convince his teammates. Looking around the locker room, he looked at Yang Yang and Ramos, hoping that they could stand up and say something at this time.

Ramos looked depressed and was a little depressed about the goal conceded in the final stage of the first half.

Even if he doesn't have much responsibility.

Yang Yang looked at Casillas, then looked at Benitez and Yesterdam, their eyes full of encouragement.

At this time, Real Madrid really needs him to stand up and say a few words to boost morale. Even if he shouts a few empty words, it will be better than letting the team walk onto the court with this kind of mentality.

If you really play like this, the second half will definitely collapse.

Under the gaze of everyone in the team, Yang Yang slowly stood up.

Ibrahimovic, who was sitting next to him, was originally the highest in the team, but at this moment, I wonder if it was because of his sitting, but I actually felt that Yang Yang was extremely tall.

Yang Yang stood up from his seat, first glanced at his teammates around him, then looked at Benitez, and made a secret decision in his heart because he remembered what Zidane said to him not long ago.

If he wants to be the leader of the team, he must show the courage that the leader should have and express his thoughts bravely.

"I think we need to make changes." Yang Yang said in a calm but unusually affirmative tone.

No one was surprised when he heard this because it was what they thought.

The key to the problem is not whether to change, but how to change it?

Does Yang Yang have any thoughts?

Everyone looked at Yang Yang expectantly, Benitez and Yesterdam also looked at each other, and they all noticed the astonishment in each other's eyes. Could it be that Yang Yang had any good ideas?

...

In the world of professional football, there are generally two ways to become a head coach. One is academic, who has been trained in systematic theory and accumulated sufficient rich experience. This type of successful head coaches include Mourinho, Benitez, Wenger, etc., all of whom are head coaches with mediocre careers but brilliant coaching experience.

Another one is to play and be good at coaching. The most famous ones are Ferguson, Guardiola, Mancini, Capello and Ancelotti, etc. They all have extremely rich professional experience and outstanding careers. After a certain theoretical training, they began to serve as head coaches.

Whether the academic school is better or the experience school is better? This is a long-standing controversy, or it should be said that each has its own advantages. The academic school often believes that it is unreliable to command a team based on experience and intuition. It must have a systematic theory. Players only need to implement the head coach's skills and tactics on the court. The most typical ones are Benitez and Bielsa. Both of them use players as robots.

Experienced players often have extremely rich experience. They know what players are thinking and how to communicate with players. Even big names such as Guardiola can easily control the superstars in the locker room. When they are rising, they can also get off the court and teach players how to play football step by step.

Moreover, top players often have a deeper understanding of football, which leads to their viewing of the skills and tactics of football games, and even creative thinking that the academics do not have.

For example, Ancelotti put Pirlo behind, Rijcard and Guardiola created Barcelona's transmission and control system, etc.

Whether it is better to be academic or an experienced one is an old question, but one thing is certain, that is, the understanding of football and thinking of games by top players is definitely completely different from others.

So will Yang Yang have any unique ideas now?

Everyone was watching him, including Benitez and Yesterdam.

...

"There is no perfect tactic in this world, and there is no indestructible defense."

Yang Yang directly expressed his opinion and received nodded and nodded by everyone in the locker room.

"We regard Inter Milan's defense as a wall, which looks indestructible, but in fact, this wall is not without gaps. It is composed of four defenders and three midfielders. There will inevitably be gaps between players and players. With gaps, there will be loopholes."

This is a very basic thing. Yang Yang said it very bluntly and everyone can understand it.

The reason why Inter Milan is indestructible is that they have a very tacit understanding and strong execution. Players always try to fill each other's loopholes and gaps, maintain a tight distance, and keep the defensive formation meticulous.

This made Real Madrid unable to find an effective breakthrough and could not directly pose a threat to the goal.

It should be said that what Yang Yang said is not a profound truth. Everyone present understands it. Some even think that he is saying meaningless nonsense and wants to say a few words.

But at this moment, Yang Yang really got to the point.

"All of us also know that the pull of the offensive side will inevitably lead to the movement of the defender, and as long as it moves, more gaps and flaws will be exposed. So the boss just said just now, let us play fast and transfer, pull the opponent through transfer, and force the defensive players to move to create flaws."

"Then the question is, Inter Milan was obviously not afraid of our playing style in the first half, why?"

Everyone was disappointed when they heard this. They thought Yang Yang was going to say something profound, but the result...

"It's very simple, because they have better control and preemption of space." Ramos replied directly.

Others also nodded. Inter Milan has done a very good job in controlling and seizing space, and it can even be said to be in vain, which makes it difficult for Real Madrid to create opportunities in front of their defense.

Yang Yang nodded, "That's right, but things are often two-sided. We can say that we couldn't play in the first half because Inter Milan has better control over space, but it can also be said that we didn't do enough pulling and transferring."

When everyone heard this, they were confused. Only Benitez and Xavi Alonso, two or three people, showed thoughtful expressions, obviously understanding Yang Yang's meaning.

"The ball is always faster than the people. As long as we transfer fast enough and as long as we transfer distance long enough, Inter Milan must invest more if they want to control the space, and they may not even be able to fully cover it."

Human resources are limiting and will be limited by speed and physical fitness, so it is impossible for a team to fully cover all areas.

Why does Inter Milan have to huddle in the half-court, or even in the 30-meter area?

It is because they can only ensure that they cover this large amount of coverage.

But in fact, even within a thirty-meter area, they cannot guarantee that they can control all space under any circumstances.

Yang Yang became more and more excited as he spoke. This was the first time he had drawn the sidelines in his mind and explained them all in front of the head coach and teammates. He was a little confused, and many people might not be able to keep up with his thinking, but it was not important. What was important was that he had to say what he wanted to say.

Even when he was excited, he walked directly to the tactical board and drew it directly on it with a pen.
