260 Yang Cheng's Secret Skill(1/2)
260 Yang Cheng’s Secret Skills
February 21, Lyon, Gerland Stadium.
Although all the fans who attended the game before the game were full of hope and hoped to see a fierce showdown between Lyon and Inter Milan, unfortunately, Inter Milan's performance completely disappointed everyone.
Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's too good!
Deliberately giving up the league and preparing for this Champions League group stage, Inter Milan did not give Lyon any chance from the beginning, and established an advantage in the field from the first minute. In the 11th minute, Ronaldo's goal completely incorporated the game into the track of Inter Milan.
After that, Inter Milan had a tide of offensives. In the 29th minute of the first half, Nedved won another goal, and Inter Milan completely established its lead throughout the game.
Entering the halftime break with the advantage of two goals, Yang Cheng asked the players to play more patiently and more steadily in the second half, seducing Lyon out to play, which would save more effort.
However, at the critical moment, Santini still chose to counterattack defensively, and Inter Milan began to slow down, which made the entire second half stalemate, especially in the 65th minute, seeing that Lyon still had no idea of attacking, Yang Cheng knew that Santini had given up.
Next, Inter Milan replaced Luca Tony one after another, replaced Recoba, and began to change the formation of 442, preparing to play a tactic of high centers. The performance of this high center who joined Inter Milan during the winter break can only be said to be fair and plays a bridgehead, but it is far less brilliant than the previous life.
"He looks very bulky!" Paul Baier shook his head when he saw Luca Tony fighting for a header in Lyon's penalty area.
He is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. Such a big guy is put into Lyon's penalty area. The threat is absolutely scary. Even Santini thought Inter Milan would continue to pursue and fight hard and make some adjustments.
"That's why I said that he is now a typical standing center!" Yang Cheng didn't care about this at all.
This is the first time Luca Tony has got a chance to play in a high-level match like the Champions League, and he seems very excited and excited, but his performance is just like Yang Cheng's evaluation of him, tall and heavy.
"Are you really sure he is worth cultivating?" asked Paul Bayer.
Now, no one will doubt Yang Cheng's vision anymore, especially after Pirlo became popular.
"It must be true that his skills are good, and he is definitely a little slower. After all, his height and weight are there, but he is still a little explosive and has a strong impact when sprinting. However, we don't lack this aspect, so we have to use his strengths!"
In Yang Cheng's tactical setting, Inter Milan focuses on offensive football. Once Deco joins and runs in well, it will definitely be a tide of offensives. They will often encounter teams that shrink defense and even set up iron barrel formations. At this time, forwards like Ronaldo and Batistuta have little effect.
But if you can insert a tall and strong Tony into the opponent's penalty area, the situation will be completely different!
"I guess some are busy!" Paul Baier smiled bitterly.
Yang Cheng laughed, "Are you still planning to relax?"
It takes a lot of effort to carve a player.
Just like Luca Tony, he is now a bulky standing center. Even his skills in holding the ball on his back are very ordinary, and he plays purely by relying on his height and strength. For Yang Cheng, this is an outdated way of playing.
So next, he will gradually start to carve the technical details of Luca Tony's bridgehead center.
For example, he must have a certain sense of cross-switching positions with his teammates, which requires him to integrate into Inter Milan's offensive formation; as well as his ability to take the ball behind his back and support. Only by doing this can he play the role that Yang Cheng wants him to play.
Tony's height and strength are there, and he has always been fixed in this role by the head coach, so Yang Cheng's request for him is not surprising, but this is just the first step.
Only by taking the first step can Tony gain a foothold in Inter Milan, but if he wants to become the surprise soldier Yang Cheng relies on, he must be able to turn around in the confrontation.
Holding the ball and turning around are two completely different requirements.
If we follow a common definition, a qualified center can only be considered a good center, but a first-class center can be turned around. If Tony cannot turn around, he will only be a regular standing center for the rest of his life.
"Take it slow!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After defeating Lyon 2:0, Inter Milan returned to the locker room with satisfaction.
As news came from far away in Manchester, Manchester United beat the visiting La Coruña 2:1 with the goals of Beckham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and scored a key 3 points.
The situation in Group A changed immediately. Manchester United surpassed La Coruna with 8 points and became the first in Group A, while La Coruna ranked second with 7 points, Inter Milan ranked third with 5 points, and Lyon ranked last in the group points, basically losing hope of qualifying.
After getting the news, everyone in the locker room in Inter Milan looked full of fighting spirit.
"The key is in the next round. As long as we win Manchester United, we may qualify from the group, but if we lose or draw, we can only pin our hopes on the opponent's mistakes, which is equivalent to following the old path of Barcelona!"
Yang Cheng reminded his players very seriously that he never likes to pin his hopes on his opponents because that feeling is very depressing and annoying.
"If we want to manipulate our lives and if we want to control our destiny, then in the next game, we must win it and we must not lose!"
The players are all very sure of their head coach's analysis. No one is willing to hand over their destiny to others, so they have a clear mind, that is, the game against Manchester United at home is a game that cannot be lost!
The situation in Group A is really chaotic now. Anyone with three teams may qualify, and no one will give up easily. They will definitely fight to the death, including Ferguson.

Walking into the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng sat down next to Santini with a calm smile.
He asked questions during the entire interview process, and he answered only after he answered, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
In this case, of course, there will be some reporters who want to create some gimmicks and asked about a battle of verbalism between him and Platini before the game.
"Haha, it turns out that Platini, a dinosaur-level guy, is bullshit about football. He has been a coach, but everyone knows the results. Judging from this game, I don't think his analysis and prediction are correct, or even a little accuracy!"
The reporters below immediately burst into laughter, and they were all happy to see Yang Cheng ridicule his opponent like this.
On the contrary, Santini, who was on the side, was a little embarrassed, but as a loser, he had no strength to refute.
"I think, starting today, I will be very happy to invite Mr. Platini to be the pre-match analyst of our Inter Milan match!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"Why?" a reporter stood up and asked with a smile.
"Because I found that if we plan to win a game, as the head coach, my task is very simple, to see what Platini said, how he analyzed it, and then..."
All the reporters at the scene were so eager to catch their appetites by his deliberate delay, and they immediately stared at him.
"Then we will arrange it in the opposite direction of him and we will definitely win!"
All the reporters below suddenly burst into laughter.
"Really, don't tell me. The reason why I can defeat my opponents repeatedly is because of this secret skill. All head coaches around the world are suitable for it. Welcome to try it!" Yang Cheng joked with a smile.
Everyone below was hilarious, and the atmosphere at the press conference was rare and warm.

The next day, Yang Cheng's jokes about Platini appeared in major European newspapers.
As a former superstar, Platini was so sad that he was trampled on by Yang Cheng, but everyone insiders knew that he took the initiative to come up this time, and he also made a counterattack, which was nothing more than resisting Yang Cheng's words, but he never mentioned his predictions and analysis before the game.
There is no way. If anyone still says that Lyon has a chance to qualify in the group, he will definitely be a fool.
However, on the morning of the same day, Yang Cheng and his players welcomed Robert Baggio at the Pinetina base.
The injured Italian star has recovered well and has now begun to be allowed to return to Milan to participate in the team's training camp.
As his attendant doctor, Jani Nanni also accompanied him north this time.
Yang Cheng asked Robert Baggio to go to the laboratory for a series of tests first, while he himself accompanied Jani Nanni to the laboratory and learned about some basic functions of the laboratory, etc.
The core secret of the laboratory lies in the sports research center behind Yang Cheng. The facilities and equipment of the laboratory are very ordinary, that is, the system will be a little more complicated, so he is not afraid of being plagiarized by Jani Nanni.
And this time he invited Jani Nanni to the north, hoping to talk to him and invite him to join his sports research center to serve as an expert in sports injuries and rehabilitation.
In this regard, the research center still has serious shortcomings, especially in rehabilitation. If professionals like Jani Nanni can be attracted to join, it will definitely be a huge help to the research center.
The price offered by Yang Cheng is also good. In addition to continuing to let him work in the Waiting Power Clinic, he will also form a research group for him to provide funds to support his research, etc. This is something that the Waiting Power Clinic and the Bologna Club cannot give.
For this reason, Jani Nanni said that he would consider it, which means he changed his agreement.
He has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, and of course he will not refuse!
"How is it, Robert?" After Yang Cheng received the answer from Jani Nanni, he was in a good mood. He watched Baggio walk out and immediately met him.
"The situation is good, you can participate in the joint training!" Baggio said with a smile.
Yang Cheng glanced at Chris Schmidt, who nodded.
But Yang Cheng thought about it and shook his head, "I just talked to Jani about you, but I decided to temporarily delay your comeback plan!"
"Why?" Baggio was a little surprised.
"This time you have to listen to me, Robert, slowly recover and slowly increase the amount of exercise. One step will leave behind future problems, so I can't let you participate in the team training camp all at once. You have to practice on my own, there is no need to discuss it!" Yang Cheng said very seriously and firmly.
Baggio shrugged, "Okay, but you have to give me a hope."
"When Chris' physical assessment reaches 75 points, I will put you on the competition list!"
After a pause, Yang Cheng grabbed Baggio's shoulder, "I can't take risks with your body anymore, Robert!"
"I understand, boss!" Baggio nodded with a smile.
Baggio's return immediately ushered in the Pinetina base with hundreds of Inter Milan fans, who cheered for their heroes outside the training ground.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Cheng also held a press conference at the Pinetina base and attended with Baggio.
The reporters at the scene were very happy when they saw Baqiao and Yang Cheng walking in side by side, and they all laughed from ear to ear.
"Yes, you all saw it, Robert is back!" Yang Cheng's opening remark pointed at Baggio and smiled.
"Although I can't promise when he will play the game for the time being, I can say with certainty that the time will not be too short. I am very happy that Baggio, whom we all love and trust, finally defeated the disease and returned to us."
The reporters at the scene suddenly heard a burst of warm applause, which was rare at Yang Cheng's press conference.
Baggio also answered a series of questions about his injury, but he also said that he would follow the club and coach's arrangements when playing, and he would not make sense.
