675 Radish and big stick

The rest time of a day is more to give players some rest time during the busy schedule, which is of little significance to the health and other aspects, after all, there is only one day. The latest chapter of the Church

Some players choose to stay at home, some accompany their families on vacation, and some go shopping. In short, everything is there, and each has its own way of relaxing. As the team's head coach, Yang Cheng went to Lake Como for one night, went to Milan Square to feed the pigeons before coming back.

In the game against Almeria, the problem on the team's left side was not actually an accident. Marcelo played as the starting lineup, and the team's left side defense always had hidden dangers. Therefore, after returning to the team, Yang Cheng focused on overcoming this problem.

Under Yang Cheng's men, Marcelo's progress has always been obvious. Whether it is offense or defense, it is very threatening, especially his recent cross-playing, but due to his defensive problems, Yang Cheng never dared to rely on him.

Speaking of Marcelo's defense, it actually does not mean that his defense is very poor. He has two biggest problems. One is that he is quickly hit behind after assisting and cannot come back by himself. This is now that football offense is getting faster and faster, even Carlos and Cafo are inevitably returning to the peak.

No matter how fast a person is, he can't be faster than the ball!

Marcelo's forward attack is often down to the bottom line, which makes it possible for the opponent to fight back quickly, he must return from the bottom line to the bottom line in the shortest time, and he has to run a hundred meters. If he is asked to do this, it is indeed demanding.

Another thing is that the other party is fighting with him. Marcelo is very disadvantaged in this regard. He is often beaten up and becomes the background of the opponent's players showing off their power. Almost all of them happen in this kind of occasion, which also makes him criticized by fans.

Yang Cheng realized this early on, so since the summer, he has been asking Marcelo to improve his physical ability to fight more. He doesn't need to become a thick thigh like Carlos, but at least he must be able to ensure that he will not suffer losses when fighting physically, after all, no matter how strong his offensive ability is.

Another trouble is that Marcelo lacks self-discipline in life. For example, he likes delicious food, so he eats it unscrupulously. Yang Cheng's method of handling this is to be fined. As long as he exceeds the weight, he will be fined, which will make Marcelo complain. Like other Brazilian players, he likes to visit nightclubs.

To be honest, it is difficult to limit a 19-year-old kid at this point. After all, professional players are just ordinary people after all, and they all have the problems of ordinary people, so almost every holiday, Yang Cheng has to worry about these things.

…………

…………

When he knocked on the door of Yang Cheng’s office, Marcelo was in a very nervous mood.

Because he knew what he had made and knew whether this problem was big or small.

Xiao, he just went out with a group of friends, went home a little late, and was photographed by a reporter; big, it can also be said that he ignored the team's discipline, especially for Yang Cheng, who regards the team's discipline as much as he is.

"Sit!" Yang Cheng pointed to the seat in front of his desk.

Marcelo nodded, sat down, secretly raised his eyes, glanced at him, and he wondered if there was no movement.

Yang Cheng also knew that the kid was looking at it secretly without saying anything, deliberately browsing the web pages on the computer. He was not wrong at all. The media and supporters of Barcelona were already in trouble, and they all said Real Madrid like a yellow flower in the end, as if they were about to die.

When reading web news, time always passes very quickly, but the boy sitting opposite him is feeling like he is sitting on pins and pins.

After a while, Yang Cheng turned off the monitor, coughed, and looked at Marcelo again. The latter was sitting upright, and his mushroom-like explosive head made Yang Cheng laugh.

As soon as Marcelo saw him laughing, he immediately followed him and showed his white teeth all over his mouth and his braces were wrapped around him.

"Don't laugh, boy, where did you go last night?" Yang Cheng coughed again.

Marcelo looked at the head coach's pretending to be serious and nodded, "I'm honest, boss, I'm going out with a few friends, it's a little late. I promise, no more than 30 minutes, I'm just unlucky to meet those reporters!"

"Unfortunately met a reporter?" Yang Cheng smiled, "How many times did you have luck not met a reporter?"

Marcelo suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and immediately stopped talking.

"I'll help you suppress this news!" Yang Cheng began to become a little serious.

In fact, there is not much news about Marcelo. After all, Yang Cheng’s rules are set very strictly, and he rarely crosses Yang Cheng’s boundaries.

"The administration has prepared a new contract for you..."

"Thank you, boss!" Marcelo smiled excitedly. His annual salary is only 1 million euros now. He is the lowest annual salary in the team. He is the same as Xavi Garcia, Granero and others. However, Granero, who has performed well recently, is also preparing to renew his contract and raise his salary, but he has not seen any news for a long time.

They are all playing football in a team. Seeing the players around them all have higher salaries than him, Marcelo felt very uncomfortable, especially Thiago Silva, who joined him at the same time. This kid's annual salary has increased to 3 million euros, and he is at the same level as Ramos. How can he not be in a hurry?

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't thank me, I'm not going to give this contract to you now!"

"Why?" Marcelo had a bitter face.

"What do you say by yourself?" Yang Cheng asked.

Marcelo curled his lips, he said nothing. When he met Yang Cheng, it was like a good student who met a teacher. You would have to do whatever you want. It would be okay to be disobedient.

"This summer, we will fully adjust the team's salary structure. You have the chance, but it depends on your performance!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, "The next period will become your assessment period. The better you perform, the greater the salary increase. You know my requirements, but if you have an excess weight, I will receive your violation report. The old rules will be deducted directly."

"This time, you will not deduct your short-term salary, but will directly deduct it from your annual salary in your contract!"

"Boss, you are clearly trying to force me!" Marcelo smiled bitterly, "This will damage your glorious and majestic image, Boss!"

Yang Cheng nodded, "You can think so, but you can't stop me from doing this!"

"You should learn more from Kaka, Thiago Silva, this will be good for you!" Yang Cheng said earnestly and exhorted.

Many young and talented players are ruined in their own hands because they are not self-disciplined enough.

"I understand, boss!" Marcelo curled his lips. He was not dissatisfied with Yang Cheng because it was Yang Cheng who promoted and cultivated him. Moreover, everything Yang Cheng did was for his sake, and he could understand this.

In fact, Yang Cheng's control over Marcelo is not particularly strict, but it is more stringent in the season. He lets Marcelo be on holiday. After all, it is impossible to require a 19-year-old, lively little ghost like a 39-year-old middle-aged man, right?

Looking at Marcelo's back as he left, Yang Cheng shook his head.

Young players have the benefits of young players, but there are also many disadvantages. After all, who did not rebel when he was young?

But Yang Cheng was still very satisfied with the kind of looking at a piece of uncensored jade, and taking shape day by day under his own carving.

…………

…………

Although he gave Marcelo a scoop in his first training class when he returned to the team, this did not hinder Yang Cheng's reuse of him at all.

But how to solve the problem left by Marcelo after the attack, especially considering that Ramos is on the right this season, what if it is Macon? At that time, the attacks on both sides will be sharp, and it is also a big problem to prevent and counterattack.

There are two main types of football defense systems: people-to-people and areas. These are easy to understand and the literal meaning is very clear. However, today's football tactics are increasingly inclined to details and the whole, so it is difficult to define whether it is people-to-people or areas.

In this case, switching between man-to-peer and regional defense, as well as the speed of coordinated defense protection in regional defense, becomes the fundamental sign of measuring a team's defense level.

This is why Ferguson did not buy the defender when he killed him, but promoted the youth team as much as possible, because he felt that several ordinary players could also build a world-class defense line through these two improvements.

With Real Madrid's current double-middle configuration, it is not difficult to switch between people and areas freely, especially with the active counterattack and protection in the midfield and frontcourt, these can effectively delay the opponent's rapid counterattack, gain time for the defense, and also have a great effect on the cooperative defense protection of both sides.

But the problem is that after being counterattacked by the opponent, the space exposed behind Real Madrid's defense line is too large, which is a problem.

When Cannavaro was there, his experience and position could help his teammates to assist in defense and protection, but now Cannavaro is obviously unable to keep up with Yang Cheng's request.

Whether using Thiago Silva, Pepe or Ramos, they all have to face the problem of being beaten behind.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Yang Cheng focused on practicing a new defensive model, that is, to improve the previous defensive system and expand the activity area of ​​central defenders, and focus on focusing on the front-line defense.

Front-by-side defense is a term in basketball, but it actually applies to the same in the football field. It can include many types, such as the above grab.

The advantage of Real Madrid's central defender lies in speed and flexibility. After moving the defense line forward and expanding the defensive area, the advantage can be maximized. Whether it is Thiago Silva, Pepe, Ramos, and Cannavaro, they are very good at predicting the ball path, which is very suitable for Real Madrid's open defensive tactics.

The overall process is almost the same as the midfield and frontcourt adopt the tactics of counter-attack and pressing on the spot, forcing the opponent to transfer the ball as soon as possible, while the double-back midfielder protects the defense line through compression and positioning, forming double-teams with the midfield and frontcourt, compressing the opponent's passing space as much as possible.

The central defender expands the range of activities behind, observes and analyzes the opponent's ball output route, makes predictions, and limits the opponent's passes to the forward and the front-front offensive players in advance to ensure that the opponent's players in the threat area cannot receive the pass to the maximum extent.

This defense method is theoretically effective. After all, the opponent threatens that the player cannot get the ball and cannot create a threat. Appearance is like not playing. Moreover, after the central defender expands the range of activities, he can put more pressure on the opponent's midfield while pressing in front of the defense line, forcing the ball to stay in the opponent's halftime as much as possible.

But the risk is also high, because this kind of defense requires a high level of overall collaboration. It is necessary to ensure that the team acts in an overall manner from front to back, and there must be a good foundation for the explosive power, prediction, and timing of the center back. Otherwise, once the opponent seizes the opportunity, the defense line will be in a hurry.

Of course, the key to the recovery speed of Real Madrid's central defender can minimize this risk lies in the integrity of the team. For this reason, Yang Cheng also required that full-backs cannot push forward the offense at the same time, and it is necessary to ensure that at least one full-back can rush to the middle at any time.

This will not affect Real Madrid's offense, because reducing the number of pre-surges does not mean that the threat is reduced.

Quantity is important, but abandoning quantity to ensure the stability of defense and improving the quality of forward-surgery participation in offense is even more critical. If we can ensure that every forward-surgery participation in offense can create a threat and break the situation, the assist power of the defender over there is not greater than that of forward-surgery throughout the game, but it cannot create many threats?

After a week of rest, Real Madrid regrouped and welcomed Valadolid at the Bernabeu.

The opponent is not strong, the defensive system is not rigorous, and the offensive threat is not very big. It is a good target for Yang Cheng to inspect the team's defense. Therefore, in this game, Yang Cheng arranged for Casillas to play the starting goalkeeper, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Ramos to form the defense line, with Xavi Alonso and Mascherano on the double midfielder, David Silva on the left, Kaka on the front midfielder, Mata on the right, and Villa on the forward.

The huge gap in strength, coupled with a week of adjustments, Real Madrid quickly endured Valladolid's attack at the beginning and quickly included the game within its own rhythm control range.

In the 7th minute, Real Madrid scored a goal. Xavi Alonso made a long pass. After Mata formed a counter-offside breakthrough on the right, he got the ball and cut into the penalty area and crossed across the middle. At this time, Villa was in an offside position, but Kaka, who followed, shot towards the coming ball and sent the ball into Valadolid's goal, 1:0!

Valladolid's players complained that Real Madrid's players were offside, but the referee clearly stated that Villa, who was offside, did not participate in the game, so Real Madrid's goal was valid.

The first goal was annoyed Valladolid, and they began to play their most iconic oppressive tactics.

Yang Cheng immediately made adjustments, allowing the team to let the ball go on two sides rather than the middle.

This adjustment quickly brought Real Madrid two consecutive goals, in the 18th and 25th minutes, with Villa and Mata scoring two goals in a row, and Real Madrid temporarily led 3:0.

Less than 10 minutes later, Real Madrid once again made a crazy round of attacks, and in the 41st minute, Kaka returned in the penalty area, Xavi Alonso followed up and shot with a long shot, piercing through Valadolid's goal again, 4:0!

Back to the halftime break with a 4:0 score, Yang Cheng was very satisfied with the team's performance, because in the whole first half, Valladolid had only one shot and had not shot the front box. It can be seen that Real Madrid puts a lot of pressure on the enemy's attack.

After the second half of the game, Real Madrid continued to give Valladolid a heavy blow, scoring again in the 52nd, 70th and 83rd minutes respectively, and finally defeated Valladolid 7-0, winning a hearty victory.

Yang Cheng praised the team's performance after the game.

"Yes, yes, we tried a brand new way of defense in the game. We made several mistakes in the game. Although we were not seized by the opponent, it was enough to alert us. I believe that as the game experience accumulates, we will perform better and better."

In addition to the team's victory in this game, the most dazzling star in Real Madrid is Brazilian Kaka.

With two goals and three assists, Kaka showed the strength of a top midfield core and became the brightest star of the night. Yang Cheng didn't find Kaka's performance at all.

"You know, every head coach will definitely estimate what he can bring to himself and the team. I hope he can respond with his performance on the court, which will make everyone amazed, it was really cost-effective to introduce him at this price, and I am the same."

"Kaka has always performed well, but I have put higher demands on him from the beginning. I hope he is not just a scorer, but also a passer and assist, because I feel that he has the potential and strength in this area. I am very happy that he has performed very well until now."

Another player named and praised by Yang Cheng is Mascherano.

"He is a player who can bring balance to the team. Although he has no key passes, no assists, and no goals as always, we cannot deny that when Valladolid almost succeeded in two counterattacks, it was Javier who stood in front of the opponent and destroyed their offense. He is a phenomenal player in the midfielder position!"

Commenting on his own players alone shows that Yang Cheng is satisfied with the performance of the players in this game, especially against the three players Kaka, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano. Marcelo's performance is also excellent. This kid's offense is best. He has almost no contribution to defense in this game. Instead, the offense threatens to a great extent and there is no change for the time being.

The day after Real Madrid beat Valladolid's game 7-0 at home, Barcelona challenged Sevilla away.

As a result, Barcelona, ​​who was sure to win, encountered Sevilla's scoop in the first half of the Pisjuan Stadium. Capel's goal took the lead for Sevilla.

After that, although Barcelona chased and fought back, and in the 57th minute of the second half, the opponent's midfielder Keita was unable to break through the opponent's defense line because of accumulating two yellow cards. In the end, Xavi inserted a long shot in the 89th minute and made a contribution to Barcelona again.

1:1, Barcelona lost points away.

In this way, the points gap between the two teams widened to 14 points again!
Chapter completed!
