As a head coach, you should never have the dangerous idea of ​​keeping the score, because in the end you will find that you can't keep it!

...

This is an excerpt from Yang Cheng’s tactical book, which has been recognized and affirmed by countless head coaches, because in a game, the head coach’s every move actually affects the mentality of the players on the court.

Once a substitution, once a shout, once a gesture, once an inadvertent expression...

The situation on the court is changing rapidly, and the players are under tremendous pressure in their hearts. They are very fragile and sensitive. They lack the ability to think rationally because of the rapid running of the game. They will be more likely to believe what they see, and will not think and analyze whether it is true.

The game is so fast, how can you give you enough time to think slowly on the court?

Therefore, in Yang Cheng's view, a head coach cannot show a slight conservative mentality under any circumstances, he cannot have the idea of ​​just keeping the score, or he has a little slackness and shirk responsibility.

Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, and this sentence can also be confirmed on the football field!

Bilanova obviously hadn't read Yang Cheng's books, or he had read them, but he was disdainful and didn't pay attention to them at all. But he was a fledgling novice. When he was smooth sailing, nothing had been tested. But now when he met Real Madrid, some of his shortcomings were exposed.

For example, he asked Keita to retreat, which was obviously to strengthen the team's midfield defense and give up the pursuit of Xavi Alonso.

This is obviously a very positive signal to Yang Cheng. "We won!"

Benitez nodded and looked at Biranova. He felt that this guy was still too young, and Yang Cheng suddenly gave him a trump card. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to keep the score and could accept it. This was undoubtedly a very conservative signal.

So Yang Cheng quickly made his first substitution in this game, replacing Drared with Klose!

"Oh my god, is Yang Cheng crazy?" The commentators on the scene felt that it was too crazy to substitution this time.

You know, Real Madrid was in a position in the first half but failed to score. Barcelona's counterattack was also very sharp. Drareid performed very well. On the contrary, Xavi Alonso performed poorly, but now Yang Cheng replaced Drareid directly when the game improved slightly, leaving Xavi Alonso. Isn't this crazy?

"Let Xavi Alonso always keep the ball and organization in the deep position, Pepe goes forward and participates in the midfield defense. You are responsible for suppressing the opponent's central defender, creating opportunities for the back, and allowing both sides to actively participate in the offense. I want to put a big push!"

Even the obedient Klose was stunned by Yang Cheng's tactical arrangements. He looked disbelief and thought he had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right, don't worry, we will definitely win!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Klose went away with a look of suspicion, but he was very confident in Yang Cheng, so he unswervingly implemented it.

"Now Biranova is like showing you the trump card in his hand. If you don't dare to bet like this, then you are not Yang Cheng!" Benitez smiled.

Yang Cheng looked at Raul, who didn't know much about it, and smiled slightly, "The targeted tactics are actually a bit similar to studding at the gambling table. Both sides have secret cards and open cards. Both are guessing what the other party's trump card is by betting between each other."

"With the retreat of Xavi Alonso, who has basically escaped Keita's restrictions, if Bilanova replaces Keita with Fabregas or other offensive players, I would still feel that he has the belief and determination to win, but it is obvious that he has not, or for the time being, there is no!"

Raul nodded constantly. Indeed, the situation just now made Keita go back to the midfield to participate in defense, which was a bit conservative adjustment, and the role might not be obvious. Instead, it would be better to replace an offensive player. Whether it is Fabregas or Pedro, it will have a certain positive effect.

"In this case, combined with the situation and the record over the past years, I can say with certainty that in Biranova's mind, a draw is acceptable, because in his opinion, a draw is now a very obvious improvement compared to the crushing defeats in the past few years, and he can also give an explanation to the fans!"

"Now, I just want to take advantage of his mentality and completely suppress him!"

Yang Cheng's words made Raul stunned, and then he felt full of admiration.

When Barcelona had already shown signs of conservatism, Yang Cheng suddenly replaced an offensive player, completely showing his determination and fighting spirit to win, which can greatly ensure that the players will play hard on the court. On the other hand, Barcelona will inevitably be far short of the momentum and be completely suppressed by Real Madrid.

If the initiative is lost, even if Bilanova makes consecutive substitution adjustments and even makes efforts, it will be useless, because they have completely lost their spirits and stopped!

"The battle between the head coaches is not just about tactics, not just about the head, nor about guessing the other party's thoughts, but also about courage and determination. Sometimes we have to bet and don't be afraid of the negative impact of gambling failures. If you want to go on this path, you have to learn to bear all this!"

"I can even say that Raul, whether he dares to bet, whether he can bet, when he is the time to bet, this is definitely the key to testing a top head coach's ability. Don't regard betting as a kind of opportunity, but there is an extraordinary technical content here!"

Yang Cheng's words made Benitez and Raul laugh, but they could both feel the confident aura that was emitting at any time and anywhere in Yang Cheng, a kind of confidence that easily made people believe that he could accomplish anything. This may be the key to Yang Cheng's ability to get to where he is today.

In the past few years, Raul has always played football and studied under the guidance of Yang Cheng. Especially since last season, Yang Cheng has consciously cultivated him, through some competition examples, the intention of on-site command, etc., and taught him his coaching experience and on-site command experience.

Of course, coaching is not a real thing, it is illusory, and no one can guarantee how much Raul can learn, but being exposed to these will undoubtedly be of great help to Raul's future coaching and improvement, at least it can make him clear how a world-class coach coaches and commands on the spot.

…………

…………

There is a saying that one rises and the other falls, which is the most appropriate way to describe the current situation.

Yang Cheng's seemingly desperate gambling was shown through the tide of Real Madrid players on the court. Barcelona seemed in danger in front of the goal. Biranova obviously did not expect Yang Cheng to do this. Even his coaching team did not expect that the strategy he gave was to replace Iniesta and replace defender Gabriel Milito to further strengthen the team's defense line.

It was as if this time, when he got the ball, Torres rushed forward immediately. But Xavi Alonso moved the ball to the left with the first kick and gave Thiago Silva. After the Brazilian central defender stopped the ball, he glanced and directly moved the ball forward with a big foot, crossed most of the court and landed on the left side of Barcelona.

Mata and Alves are on the left. The two are short and suffer from heading, but Mata is very clever to choose to get stuck in the position in advance, forcing Alves to be behind him, and then take the lead, stop the pass from Thiago Silva, and turn halfway around. He dribble the ball horizontally towards the front of the penalty area.

The Spanish winger accelerated and passed Alves, and then quickly passed between Xavi and Pique. His dribbling ability made it difficult for these players to cut off the ball. Moreover, this is the front of the penalty area, and they must be wary of the risks brought by fouls here. After all, there are many free kick masters in Real Madrid.

Mata dribbled the ball and broke through continuously, attracting the defensive attention of three players, but when he brought the ball to the middle, he chose to pass the ball to the right and gave it to David Silva in front of the direction of the forward insertion.

When David Silva stepped forward, his steps were very steady. After seeing Mata's pass, he already felt that the ball would be very comfortable to pass. So when he moved forward, he did not adjust at all, so he just let the ball reach his step point. There was no need to adjust, rub it with the inside of his foot.

The ball seemed to hit his foot. It rebounded and went into the penalty area. Kloze, who had just leaned on Pique, saw the ball coming. He wiped it from Pique, stopped, kicked his feet and shot vigorously!

The ball hit a lot, but two muffled sounds sounded one after another, one was the sound of Klose shooting, and the other was the sound of Pique's foot blocking the ball. As a result, the ball hit Pique's outstretched foot and turned to the right.

After Ronaldo quickly inserted from the right side, he threw away Abidal, entered the penalty area, stopped the ball and shot again.

The angle of this shot was very small, and Valdes had already blocked the angle in advance, but Ronaldo's shot was very powerful and very heavy. After Valdes came to the ball's speed so fast, he was a little unsure and could not catch the ball, so he actually took off his hand. The ball passed by his hands to the left.

Behind Pique, Klose, Valdes and others, Aguero was waiting for the opportunity. He was dormant like a cunning hunting dog. When he saw Ronaldo volleying vigorously, he realized that there might be a chance and slowly approached Milito and Puyol. As soon as he saw Valdes take off, he immediately rushed forward.

Aguero's sprint speed at a short distance was really not something that Puyol and Milito could stop. They were all focused on Ronaldo's side, and they did not realize that Valdes would lose his hand, so they reacted a little slower. When they woke up and wanted to catch up, they saw that Aguero had already used his most bad header to smash the incoming ball in the mid-air goal from close range.

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Amid the commentator's extremely long goal sound, Aguero turned around excitedly and rushed out of the penalty area, waving his arms hard, cheering and cheering at the fans in the stands, shouting some slogans that no one could hear clearly. God knows what he was talking about at this time.

But when he rushed to the corner flagpole and made a pacifier action against the live TV camera, everyone knew that he was going to give the goal to his son.

Turning around, spreading his arms, he immediately saw Real Madrid's teammates pounce one after another, surrounding Aguero firmly near the corner flagpole. Everyone shouted excitedly at the live TV camera.

"Real Madrid's goal came suddenly, but it was reasonable, because Real Madrid's offensive was too fierce during this period. Yang Cheng once again showed his ability to command on the spot in a game. Although his substitution seemed to be very gambled, he suppressed Barcelona well and created the most favorable situation for Real Madrid!"

The live TV camera did not forget this number one hero and gave Yang Cheng a big close-up, but this guy stood on the sidelines with a pretentious look, pouting, as if this goal was not difficult for him at all, so he was too pretentious!

"Haha, he must have expected the camera to be given to him now, so he made a special pose!" The commentator on the scene laughed, but behind Yang Cheng, the players on the coach's seat and the bench had already had a stumble, and they all celebrated excitedly.

"There is no doubt that Barcelona's performance in this game has indeed improved a lot, especially in suppressing Real Madrid's offense, which has played a good role. However, when Real Madrid made adjustments and substitutions, Bilanova did not give good restrictions and solutions, which led to Barcelona gradually being at a disadvantage in the situation."

"The tactical arrangements of Biranova's game are also very chaotic. If you replace Iniesta, you obviously need to strengthen your defense, but soon he replaced Pedro again, which is another positive signal for strengthening your offense. This will definitely make many players feel at a loss. Should the head coach attack or defend?"

"This kind of mentality and hesitation, or the confusion from the head coach, made Barcelona finally break through the goal by Real Madrid. Although they fought for nearly 80 minutes, they could still lose this game in the end!"

Just as the on-site commentator was analyzing, the game started again.

Barcelona, ​​who was scored by Real Madrid, was very passive in the momentum, while Real Madrid took advantage of the victory and wanted to continue to pull in the wrong. They were not satisfied with the 1:0 score, but in the end they were unable to break through Barcelona's goal again, so they could only accept this 1:0 score.

In this way, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 1:0 away with Aguero's goal in the 78th minute at the Camp Nou Stadium. With the victory of this game and one more game before, Real Madrid continued to lead the La Liga leader with a 7-point advantage! (To be continued)
