933 The Smartest Maniac

Many fans nowadays often say that there are fewer and fewer beautiful games!

What kind of game is beautiful?

It all depends on personal needs and pursuits, defense and offense, or balance, and can be beautiful!

But there is one thing that must be possessed whether it is offense or defense, that is consciousness.

Consciousness includes many types, such as ball-free running, game vision, game thinking, etc., which are all components of consciousness.

To put it in a figurative way, when you are in the game, you will be surrounded by players, opponents and teammates, and everyone is moving. How can you know where you are at any time and anywhere?

This is the basis for a player to integrate into the game!

Integrating into the game is just the beginning. Next, you have to figure out whether I should leave my position? If I want to leave my position, how should I attack the opponent's position? If I have to hold my position, how should I prevent my opponent from attacking my position?

If I drive forward, how do I make sure that the ball is effectively passed and where is it?

People who don’t play football in person will never understand that a player is on the court, as if he is in the traffic flow of a strange metropolis. If you don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the situation, I’m sorry, you’re lost!

All drivers who are lost in metropolis should know what it feels like. They are confused and hesitant, and do not know what they should do. They are afraid of traffic lights, and they will be worried when they reach the corner. Then in the end, they are tired of themselves, but they find that they have returned to the starting point.

Is it funny?

No. Not funny at all!

Players are on the court. It is like a driver driving in a metropolis. If you want to not get lost, the driver must be familiar with the route of the metropolis. You must be familiar with the environment of the city, know which road to where to go, and know how to get to your destination.

The driver is lost because of his ignorance of the city. The player is lost because of his ignorance of the game. Both of these ignorances are actually because of an important reason, and their vision is limited.

Whether in the city or on the court, all you can see is everything in front of us. Unlike fans standing in the stands and looking down at the overall situation, they can only see what their eyes see. Therefore, when helping a player integrate into the team, in addition to instilling tactical ideas, they also need to teach him how to learn to stand on a higher level to look down at the overall situation.

It's very difficult, really, believe me. It's very difficult. Because it requires full investment, players also need to learn how to use their brains and how to develop their creativity. There are fewer and fewer such players in today's football world.

Many head coaches nowadays are always trying every means to restrict players and require players to play football according to their requirements and tactics. This is the initial stage and a more advanced stage, which is to release the players' creativity and allow them to run and chase freely according to the needs of the game and their own understanding of the game.

I don’t know if this kind of free football is the most beautiful, but at least, in my mind and in my pursuit, it is the most beautiful football!

...

At the press conference and Weibo before the game, Yang Cheng asserted that the game with Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao will be very exciting and beautiful, because like Bielsa, he is a person who pursues football, especially beautiful football.

Yang Cheng always admires this tactical madman. In his opinion, Bielsa is a reformer who dares to try, but unfortunately, usually reformers often do not have a good end in the end. Bielsa and his Argentina are the kind of tragedy.

In the 2002 World Cup, the Argentine group failed to qualify. This is definitely not just a tactical reason. Bad luck and a scam of lottery are also an important factor. The weather and venue are also responsible. If you want to think more deeply, then maybe it can only be said that Bielsa is too radical.

Yang Cheng remembers that when the Argentine team was eliminated, an Argentine celebrity said that with Bielsa's tactical playing style and that staffing set, he would never win the World Cup because he was too advanced!

But Bielsa is Bielsa. After Argentina's setbacks, he has not changed his pursuit of offensive football at all. His concept of strengthening and oppressing his opponents has not changed. What has changed is his adjustments at the tactical level, and he emphasizes more on changes and efficiency. This is fully reflected from Chile in the South African World Cup to Athletic Bilbao today.

He cherishes heroes and values ​​heroes. Yang Cheng admires Bielsa, why is it that crazy?

Long before the game began, former Argentina World Cup champion coach Menotti made a statement in his column that he supported Yang Cheng's team to defeat Bielsa, but he expressed his views on the final.

"The race may lose, but more importantly, what cannot be ignored is the way of the race and how to get the results, so that people can walk down the return plane with a halo of pride and dignity, regardless of the result!"

Menotti knows Bielsa well, but the lunatic doesn't disappoint those who believe in him.

In this game at Calderon Stadium, Bielsa's tactics were also amazing.

Although he had just suffered a complete defeat against Real Madrid in the league, Bielsa did not change his tactical style at all. He knew that he was not strong enough, but he still insisted on playing the game in his own way.

Such an opponent is rare. At least from the opponents Yang Cheng encountered, there are not many people who can persist in doing this. Bielsa, Pellegrini, Ferguson and others are all, but without exception, the final score ends with a big score.

Therefore, when I saw the list of starting lineups of both sides, the live commentator gave a preview, thinking that this would be an amazing final and worthy of all fans' aftertaste and taste.

Bielsa did his homework before the game. He specially trained for Real Madrid in oppressive style. He asked all frontcourt players to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense line, preferably to force Real Madrid to kick directly, and then use the high ball advantage in the backcourt to control the ball rights in his own hands.

In order to do this, Bielsa adopted a more extreme defensive approach. People-to-peer, because in his opinion, although people-to-peer has disadvantages, the benefits are also obvious. There is no need to worry about being disrupted by Real Madrid players' off-ball running, but the disadvantages are also obvious. That is, the weak side must pay more.

Although the pressure was tight, Bielsa required that all players not be able to make such high-risk tackles. He asked the players to stick to their opponents, forcing Real Madrid players to fail to move and pass and catch the balls.

After seeing Bielsa's tactics clearly, Yang Cheng had to admire Bielsa's courage and determination. At least he dared to put forward a tough and unyielding tactic when facing Real Madrid. This is already a very difficult thing in itself, especially in this game, which is the final of the King's Cup.

"A madman is a madman!" Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head.

Raul could hear that Yang Cheng was polite Bielsa. Because from the 20 minutes after the opening, Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao were evenly matched, and neither side could get any advantage for the other side.

But despite this, Real Madrid still took the initiative in the game with its strong strength, while Athletic Bilbao is in a passive defensive state, but no one can create an effective threat.

"Should we make adjustments now?" Raul felt that the time was almost over.

Yang Cheng nodded, "What do you think should you do?"

Raul frowned, "They rely on people-to-man tactics to interfere with our defense. Their purpose is clearly that they do not want our players to disrupt their formation and defensive arrangements because of their running and shifting positions. I think we should seize this point to make a fuss, encourage players to break through multiple individuals, rely on our personal strength advantages to break through one point, create chaos, and then hit the opponent's entire defensive surface!"

Yang Cheng nodded constantly, "From point to surface, it's very good, what else?"

Raul was stunned and he thought of a solution, and he had no better idea for a while.

"There is another way to make our back-subscribe players participate more actively in the offense. Have you noticed that Llorent is not fast, but whether it is Kompany, Ramos or Thiago Silva, they have an advantage in speed, and we have an advantage in number, and we can completely plug in through the back-dribly to open the defense line of Athletic Bilbao."

Yang Cheng always looked at Raul when he spoke. He noticed that Raul's eyes seemed to have a little worry and smiled slightly, "The best defense is offense. If you are worried about the risk of the three defenders pressing, Harvey Alonso's midfielder can retreat a little, so that you can better protect the defense."

After hearing this, Raul couldn't help but feel ashamed of the fact that he had watched the progress of the game, but he could only think of one way, but Yang Cheng came up with two ways, which represented the gap between the two of them in terms of tactics and on-site command.

But don't underestimate these two gaps. If you only follow Raul's proposal, Bielsa will easily re-limit it once the adjustment is made. However, according to Yang Cheng's idea and a two-pronged approach, Bielsa will undoubtedly be very difficult to solve the two adjustments of Real Madrid at the same time and also plug its own loopholes.

Thinking of this, Raul couldn't help but admire Yang Cheng's grasp of the team, his use of tactics and insight. At least his skill is not available to Raul at present. This is a skill that Yang Cheng has developed after more than ten years of accumulation and is a reflection of his coaching ability.

Of course, sometimes this kind of tactics is not omnipotent. If the player does not have enough ability or is conscious to execute it, no matter how good the tactics and adjustments are, it will be useless.

…………

…………

Youdao is an expert who can tell if it is available.

Yang Chengyi adjusted and the situation changed immediately.

In the 24th minute, Thiago Silva passed to David Silva, who pulled the ball to the left and then formed a breakthrough. After Ronaldo attracted the attention of the defensive players on the left, David Silva passed the ball to the right post at the back point. Kaka, with the support of Messi and Aguero, suddenly ran to the point and pointed the cross from close to Athletic Bilbao, 1:0!

After scoring the goal, Kaka rushed out excitedly and kept running on the court. He rushed to the front of the home team's coach's seat. He hugged their head coach tightly. This was the goal celebration ceremony they had agreed on before. In the next three games, once they scored, they would celebrate with Yang Cheng.

Bielsa seemed very depressed. The two reasons that the madman was most worried about were physical fitness and cards, but unexpectedly, in the game, neither of these factors became trouble for Athletic Bilbao. Instead, Real Madrid broke through Athletic Bilbao's defense and caused their own mistakes to miss the man and scored the goal.

What did Bielsa say about this?

Soon, 7 minutes passed, and in the 32nd minute, Real Madrid's breakthrough disrupted Athletic Bilbao's defense line. This time, Messi from the right dribble over the ball, causing chaos on Athletic Bilbao's left. Then he took advantage of the chaos to send the ball into the penalty area, Aguero grabbed the ball and was saved by the goalkeeper. After Ronaldo got the ball near the penalty spot, he easily pushed the ball and pierced through Athletic Bilbao's goal again. 2:0!

After the Portuguese scored the goal, he still went to Yang Cheng to celebrate. Bielsa suddenly saw the problem.

The two consecutive goals were almost all attacks launched by Real Madrid defenders dribbled the ball forward, which obviously disrupted Athletic Bilbao's defensive system. The players caused people to miss them in order to mark people, which are the biggest problems of people being targeted.

Bielsa quickly made adjustments. He asked Lorent to strengthen the blockade of Real Madrid's back line, and at the same time, the double-wingers retreated, and the midfielder also retreated, firmly clamping Real Madrid's offensive combination, striving to stabilize the situation first and then slowly plot against the attack.

Bielsa's adjustment quickly dragged the game into a deadlock, and the deadlock remained until the second half.

"Have you noticed it, Raul?" Yang Cheng asked Raul beside him with a smile. "Belsa was a little scared at first, so he always arranged one more defensive force on the defense line than us, with the purpose of being able to fill the loopholes caused by the breakthrough and shrinking of people's eyes."

Yang Cheng's adjustment was very successful, but Bielsa's response was also not bad.

The game has been held now, and it can almost be said that it is no longer a question of the score, but the tactical confrontation between the head coaches of both sides, and seeing who is better.

If Yang Cheng continues to let Athletic Bilbao lock Real Madrid's attack, even if he wins this game, he will be disgraceful, because he was finally blocked by Bielsa and unable to move.

"Since he wants one more person than us, I'll add a fire to him!"

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng waved his hand and immediately replaced Ramos with Klose. He actually played four forward tactics in front, and in the end, there were only two central defenders left on the defense line. Among them, Kompany's main responsibility is to look at Lorent.

This substitution was not only Raul was surprised, but even Bielsa was also very surprised and sad, because Yang Cheng was forcing him to go crazy together.

"Everyone said I was a madman, but according to me, he was a madman, and he was the smartest madman in the world!" Bielsa said with a wry smile.

The reason for saying this is that Yang Cheng replaced the fourth forward, which makes Bielsa still want to maintain the advantage of numbers, he must be a defender and cut off an offensive player. In this way, Athletic Bilbao's offensive threat to Real Madrid has been greatly weakened. Real Madrid seems to have only two defenders, but because the pressure it faces is much less, the firmness of the defense is also guaranteed.

If you want to say it, Bielsa feels that Yang Cheng's substitution this time really puts out the concept of [offense is the best defense] to the fullest, and more importantly, he has no choice but to follow Yang Cheng.

After all, Real Madrid is too strong!

Just as Bielsa was hesitating whether to keep up with Yang Cheng, Real Madrid scored again.

Ronaldo forced a breakthrough on the left and broke into the penalty area, attracted the attention of the defensive and knocked back. David Silva passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area. Messi got the ball and rubbed a curved ball and slapped straight into the far corner of the goal, 3:0!

Real Madrid, who scored consecutive goals, looked very morale, while Athletic Bilbao began to fall into a slump, because 76 minutes have passed since the game, and there is not much time left, but the score is 3 points behind. Everyone can see that Real Madrid can be said to be sure to win.

Bielsa seemed to have given up the game and finally chose to replace two young players to come and practice. Yang Cheng quickly made two other substitutions, and they were also replaced by young players with Castia, giving them some opportunities to exercise.

In the end, in the final of the King's Cup at Calderon Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 with goals from Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi, and won the second championship of the new season. Because the league championship trophy has not been won, the King's Cup became the first championship trophy that Real Madrid won this season.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, all the fans stood up one after another to applaud the wonderful performances of the two teams. Whether it was the winning Real Madrid or the defeated Athletic Bilbao, the process of this game was very exciting. Both sides did not have any reservations or conservatism, which was a bayonet fight.

Real Madrid's final victory was more important because of Yang Cheng's on-the-spot command and the players' personal strength. However, Bielsa's team did not lose completely. At least they won the respect of everyone in the beginning and process of the game, especially Bielsa's opponent Yang Cheng.

So after the game, Yang Cheng immediately walked towards Bielsa and gave affirmation and appreciation to this famous madman.

But unexpectedly, Bielsa said in the end, "From today on, whoever says I am a madman, I will fight him, because in my opinion, you are a madman, and a smart madman!"

Regarding this, Yang Cheng didn’t know whether to be happy or cry!
