Chapter 647: One more step

On July 16, 2007, at 9:30 in the morning, Valdebebas.
The sun above his head was already arrogantly showing off his heat, but the sweaty players still stood around Yang Cheng on the training ground of the first team, accepting the coach's words.
This season's Real Madrid left Salgado and Raul, Bravo, but Yang Cheng did not sign on the full-back. Although McKon was booked, this name performed well in the America's Cup and doubled in value. Soaring, the Brazilian defender, who is hailed as Yang Cheng's eye-catching eye, will continue to play in Monaco this season.
At present, Real Madrid has been preliminarily determined. After the time meets the requirements, Tiago, Silva and Marcelo will all go to apply for Spanish nationality, leaving two foreign aid places for Real Madrid, and Maicon will occupy one of them.
Although they didn't introduce a full-back, Real Madrid introduced Pepe from Porto for 11 million euros, which strengthened the team's back line strength, plus the transfer of teenager Miguel from Castilla, Torres on the first team, the ball The team's defense has not dropped much. After all, Torres has played many times last season, and the reputation has been mixed, but Yang Cheng is very optimistic about him.
In the midfield, all the players stayed in the team last season. Yang Cheng also introduced a young Ozil from the Bundesliga. This delicate and creative teenager can also play the midfielder and the left and right sides. The position is regarded as a signing of Real Madrid's frontcourt in favor of competition.
By the way, many people regard the old Ozil as the first batch of youth training products under Yang Cheng ’s youth training system that promotes German football reform. From this group of players, it is not difficult to see The characteristics of Yang Cheng's youth training is also the reason why Ozil switched to Real Madrid. After all, he is more in line with Yang Cheng's football taste.
During the holiday in Mascherano, Yang Cheng intends to try the combination of Della Red and Ha who Alonso, but it does not rule out Xavi, Garcia, this young man is tall, has a good header, has excellent His skill and good passing ability, coupled with his strong sense of teamwork, is an excellent player.
In addition, Granero is also a very good midfielder. In addition to Guti, Real Madrid ’s midfield seems to have few stars. In fact, the degree is enough. After all, Real Madrid is not going to play Chelsea. Football.
On the front line, Raul is getting older, and Villa, Aguero and Negredo will gradually take on more responsibilities. Yang Cheng is playing 4231, Villa is currently the one who will not let him, Kaka is the front waist Both Raul and Aguero can play between the forward and the midfielder, so the offensive strength is also sufficient.
The main lineup in Yang Cheng ’s mind, the goalkeeper is still Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Aveloa, Cannavaro, Pepe and Ramos, and the double back is Xavi, A Lonso and Mascherano, David Roerva, Mata and Kaka are still on the left, Beckham is on the right, and Villa is the single forward.
This set of tactics as a whole has not changed much from last season. The addition of Kaka will make the team's offense more threatening. However, in the early stage, the appearance of the Brazilian superstar is definitely not possible in every game. Er and Aguero can form a suitable rotation, and Özil can also play a midfielder.
At the beginning of the season, Yang Cheng arranged a few primary tasks for himself.
Apart from all the regular training tasks of the team, what Yang Cheng needs to do now is to help Pepe and other new players to join the team, understand Pepe ’s tactical adjustments when he plays the central defender, and, for Marcelo Play left forward to develop a set of offensive routines.
There has always been a tradition of full-back participation in offense. From the tactics of the Brazilian era, there has been an offensive full-back. In the era, with Kafu and Carlos, Thuram and Lizarazu and other excellent full-back teams After winning the championship, the assisting full-back has become increasingly popular.
With the advent of modern football, tactics are becoming more and more rigorous, and the restrictions on the space on the court, especially the space restrictions of the own half, will be more and more important, whether it is facing Manchester United who runs well, or facing the defending. Chelsea, or Barcelona known as playing art football, have very high control over the space in some areas.
And the means to achieve control is to be crowded, especially in the middle road!
There is no doubt that the wing will be the source of all attacks, this is already a recognized fact!
In other words, in the future, the offense will be more initiated from the side and the middle will be carried out. Since the midfield and frontcourt will be under pressure from the opponent's defensive formation, the space is very small, so the post-attack of the attack will be decisive effect.
The opponent is waiting for the line. The midfielder interferes and disrupts the opponent's defense. The full-back defends the right time to advance and break the situation and form a threat. It is very difficult to defend against this attack. This is why all the goals The teams are paying more and more attention to the reasons why the full-backs are involved in the offense.
Even if it is a bull team like Chelsea, Ashley Taur, Bosingwa, etc. are all offensive linebackers, Mourinho's idea is exactly the same as Yang Cheng, the difference is that Yang Cheng finds the right person , And the Portuguese madman does not.
To this end, Mourinho personally called Yang Cheng after the America ’s Cup, complaining that he had started against Maicon in advance, it was too shameless, obviously he also greatly appreciated Maicon ’s outstanding performance in the America ’s Cup.
But the full-back attack, especially left-back like Marcelo, is often a hidden danger on the team's defense.
Yang Cheng must find a way in the warm-up match, play Marcelo's offensive advantage on the left, fill in the hidden dangers of defense, maximize the team's defensive stability, and at the same time exert the power of Marcelo's forward attack.
This is true for him
Is a big test, but once successful, Real Madrid's attack will be joined by Kaka, and the power will increase, and then go to a higher level!
Came to Ildening for the second time, Yang Cheng was familiar with everything here, and Real Madrid also used to come here for many years to start training, and was very familiar with everything here.
Although the residents here are accustomed to hearing the news of Real Madrid ’s arrival every year, when Real Madrid arrives, they are still scrambling to watch Real Madrid ’s training. After all, Real Madrid ’s lineup will change every season, especially this season. There are several more players in Real Madrid, including top stars like Kaka.
But in this small town, Real Madrid can avoid the disturbance of the outside world as much as possible, and devote themselves to the training and preparation. The team will welcome the devil training three times a day, although Kaka does not need to follow the team. Practice, but rehabilitation training, but he still has to work in unison with the team.
During this period of training, Yang Cheng methodically instilled his further tactical ideas towards the players, especially for Marcelo, when should I advance, when should I retreat, how should I cooperate after the pre-insert, and who should I cooperate with? How do teammates cooperate with him and how to make up for him after inserting in front of him are all questions.
Therefore, on the training ground, you can often hear Yang Xie roaring towards Marcelo, beating the Brazilian kid.
A whole lot of the week, the team arrived in Austria a week, ushered in the British championship team Stoke City.
In this game, Yang Cheng arranged Casillas, Marcelo, Cannavaro, Pepe, Ramos, Xavi, Alonso, Xavi, Garcia, David Selva, Raul , Beckham and Villa.
The team has created opportunities one after another from the beginning. After all, the overall framework has not changed much from last season. The biggest difference is that after a week of high-intensity training, the player ’s physical fitness is in a period of adjustment, and his body ca n’t keep up. There are many mistakes, but the overall strength advantage allows Real Madrid to successfully grasp the advantage on the scene.
In the first minute, Silva took the ball to get rid of the ball, then Raúl inserted a low shot and opened the record for Real Madrid.
Then Real Madrid took advantage, but won no points.
In the second half, Yang Cheng put on another lineup. The goalkeeper was Diego Luis Pace. The defenders were Avelloa, Tiago, Silva, Elgra and Miguel Reis. After three midfielders Waisted by De La Reid and Granero, Guti is ahead, and the three forwards are Mata, Negredo and Aguero.
Finally, in the 78th minute, Negredo received a cross from Aveloa in the penalty area. The header returned to the penalty area. Guti made a precise straight pass. Aguero scored in the penalty area and took the next step for Real Madrid. city.
2: 0, Real Madrid won the first victory of the warm-up match.
After the first warm-up match, Real Madrid continued to conduct demon training in Austria. Yang Cheng also improved on the problems exposed in the first warm-up match, especially in the first half, although he had the advantage, but he did not score. The problem, in the final analysis, was a problem in the offensive advancement.
After a few days of training in Ildening, Real Madrid packed up and left Austria, took a plane to Germany, played a warm-up match with Hanover 96, and finally scored with the goals of Villa, Beckham and Aguero , Defeated Hanover 96 at 3: 0 away and won two consecutive victories in the warm-up match.
Then Real Madrid went to Moscow to participate in the Railway Cup.
The reason why Real Madrid participated in this event is that besides being a commercial game and having the appearance fee of Feng Hòu, Yang Cheng pays more attention to the quality of the warm-up game, because the other three teams participating in this event are Host Moscow Locomotive, Serie A giants AC Milan and Dutch giant Eindhoven are all strong teams.
Yang Cheng likes to encounter powerful opponents in the warm-up match, because he firmly believes that the stronger the opponent, the more problems he will expose, and if he can improve all the problems in the warm-up match, then Real Madrid will undoubtedly be full of combat power.
Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals was Eindhoven. This team played a defensive counterattack tactic, which put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid's attack. In addition, Real Madrid has just gone through pre-match training, physical condition and state. They are still very unsatisfactory. Although Yang Cheng did his best to play, it was still difficult to open the situation on the offensive.
But in the second half, after Yang Cheng made several substitutions, as the opponent's physical fitness was also consumed, Guti played a role, that is, he made a pass in the 79th minute to help Negredo score a goal. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Eindhoven by 1: 0 and entered the final.
In addition to the problem of Real Madrid's poor condition, this game also made Yang Cheng see the hidden dangers of the team's left defense after Marcelo came on the court, especially in the absence of Mascherano. Real Madrid's double midfielders did not put enough pressure on the opponent's midfield, resulting in the opponent's counterattack being threatened several times.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the warm-up match and the lack of attention to the game. For example, in this game, Yang Cheng made 9 substitutions in one breath, except for Casillas and Cannavaro. The other players have changed all over again. After all, it is a warm-up match. The score is not important. Adjusting the player status is the key.
Even in this situation, the finals have not changed much.
Kaka, who was originally expected by everyone, did not appear in the face of the old club ac Milan. What surprised many people outside was that Yang Cheng did not use Kaka in these warm-up games. The Brazilian superstar even played for one minute. No, to the doubts of the outside world, Yang Cheng gave the answer that Kaka was undergoing rehabilitation training and temporarily failed to meet the requirements of the competition. For Kaka's Real Madrid premiere, Yang Cheng initially gave the time in Hong Kong.
"I think with his current progress, he should be able to play in the game against Hong Kong United!"
Kaka himself also expressed a strong desire to participate in the game as soon as possible, but he also said that he will obey the arrangement of the head coach, "I feel that my physical condition is getting better and better, I think I can play at any time, but I will unconditionally obey the arrangement of the head coach, because I know that the decisions he makes are for me to play better. "
Although Kaka didn't get a chance to play against AC Milan, Real Madrid played very tenaciously in this game. In the case of two backwards, they tenaciously equalized the score twice, but they finally scored a penalty In the war, Real Madrid lost to AC Milan 3: 4, and finally only won the runner-up of the Railway Cup.
It's just a warm-up cup game with little influence. Yang Cheng doesn't value it at all. What he really values ​​is the problems exposed by Real Madrid in the game. Pepe and Cannavaro's partner is not stable enough, especially Pepe. The first goal conceded was his mistake.
Throughout the warm-up process, Pepe's performance can be described as a bright spot and mistakes. His body and strength are worthy of recognition, but in the cooperation with Cannavaro, especially under the attack pressure of ac Milan, the mistakes Quite a few, but several key releases and resolutions were also applauded.
Is after all just joining a new team. Although it has performed well in training, training and competition are different, and it is better to expose problems in the warm-up game than to make mistakes in the official game.
Yang Cheng asked the technical team to collect all the mistakes made by each player during the game, preparing to keep it back to Valdebebas, make a video, and then distribute it to each player to watch .
After a few warm-up games, the Real Madrid players have obviously adjusted. Although the team has repeatedly had many problems, the effectiveness of the pre-season training has gradually shown. This point, when the team arrived in Yokohama, Japan, here It was revealed in this warm-up match by the famous Yokohama Mariners in the Japan J-League.
In this game, Yang Cheng continued to use Casillas as the starting goalkeeper, with Marcelo, Elgra, Pepe and Ramos in the back, and Granero and Mascherano in the double back. It was David, Silva, Aguero hit the midfield, Beckham was on the right, and Villa hit the middle.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid played very proactively. First, in the 9th minute, Granero and David Tilva made a beautiful interplay. Granero crossed the left side of the penalty area diagonally and Marcelo Expressway After plugging in, the ball was sent to the front of the penalty area before the defensive player. Villa plugged in and grabbed the goal of the Yokohama Mariners, 1: 0
After leading the ball, Real Madrid continued to firmly maintain midfield pressure, the back line was pressed very high, Marcelo and Ramos two full-backs were frequently inserted to participate in assists, David, Silva and Beckham Mu are actively cutting in, creating space for them to plug in, and Real Madrid's wing is very active.
In the first minute, Ramos knocked into the front of the penalty area after inserting it. Beckham took the ball and pushed it home. After Aguero got the ball out of the defensive player in the penalty area, he shot low and broke the goal again.
Real Madrid started to play like a bamboo shooter, and the Japanese fans in the stands were also very excited.
For Japanese fans, they bought a high fare to come here to watch this game, the purpose is to see Yang Cheng and his Real Madrid, so the better Real Madrid performance, the more excited they are, the more they move.
The unlucky Yokohama sailor had little resistance and fight back in front of Real Madrid.
Mascellano's appearance allowed Real Madrid's back to straighten the waist bar again, pressing the Yokohama Mariners to play, so that Real Madrid's rear line can be assured of forward pressure, Real Madrid's attack is easier to enter the Yokohama Mariners' half.
Only in the first half, Real Madrid once again relied on the goals of Beckham and Aguero, 4-0 ahead of the Yokohama Mariners.
After Real Madrid made 6 substitutions in one breath, but Raúl and Negredo scored the goal for Real Madrid to lock the score at 6: 0, substitute Beckham played in the second half, and Ozil played right. Not bad, just because he is on the left foot, he has never played on the right before, so he seems a little uncomfortable in the game, but his several passes and dribbling are very skillful, showing a rare and delicate.
6-0 victory over the Yokohama Mariners, Real Madrid scored its biggest victory since the warm-up match, and was highly appreciated by the Japanese media and fans. Real Madrid, who fully attacked, was more sincere than visiting Barcelona in Asia from the bench, and Real Madrid ’s The game is also done as much as possible.
Yang Cheng didn't have any comment on this. He didn't want to provoke the battle before the league. Moreover, he didn't play hard in the warm-up match. How can I find out the team's problem?
By virtue of the 6-0 victory over the Yokohama Mariners, Real Madrid visited Beijing, and the 3-0 victory over the Beijing team won the second victory of the Asian Tour.
After playing the Beijing team, Yang Cheng took the opportunity to participate in a fundraising event held by the Caesar Charity Foundation in Beijing. People in Florentino in Beijing also took the emperor down to join the show, this time Caesar The charity foundation will use all the donations for the earthquake prevention work and hope education project that Yang Cheng has previously formulated.
After being busy with these things, Real Madrid went to Hong Kong to usher in the last warm-up match of the Asian tour, which Yang Cheng said before, Kaka's debut at Real Madrid! (To be continued)
