Vol 4 Chapter 1134: The underrated Ancelotti

Yang Yang won the Golden Globe Award for the seventh consecutive year!
Barcelona once again scored a draw and Real Madrid's lead extended to eight points!
These two pieces of good news came one after another, making the emperor's immediate success a joy.
From the early morning of the next day, it was not difficult to see the lively atmosphere in the Real Madrid locker room before training. Everyone in the team felt strong self-confidence and were full of hope for the team's prospects this season.
At present, Barcelona are even one point behind Atletico Madrid, ranking third.
Today, almost all media, big and small, are asking questions. What's the matter with Messi?
This is a difficult problem to find the answer.
I believe that even Barcelona coach Martino may not know the answer, otherwise, Barcelona will not come to today.
In the early part of the season, everything looks good. The trident is also getting better. Barcelona is even more powerful. How can it suddenly become what it is now?
Yang Yang is a player who is very keen on thinking and also good at thinking and analyzing. When everyone in the locker room is celebrating the fall of Barcelona, ​​he is thinking about a question. What crisis is Barcelona facing? And how did Ancelotti lead the team to today?
This is a very interesting tactical issue, because the two teams have obviously different starts. Barcelona have a much better start than Real Madrid. Especially in the first round of 7-0, it can be said to have played an offensive storm.
In contrast, Real Madrid ’s start was accompanied by ups and downs. First, Harvey Alonso was injured, but the new aid Isco was so powerful, even David Silva was forced to sit on the bench, and this season Robben's position was gradually replaced by Di Maria ...
It can be said that the problems and dilemmas faced by Real Madrid after the start are much larger than that of Barcelona.
However, after a few months of adjustment, Real Madrid gradually found a stable tactical play, the team also re-sharpened into a combined type, and then attacked in the next few months, and even many of them beat Sevilla and Real. Betis's show.
On the other hand, Barcelona has exposed more and more problems, especially after losing to Real Madrid.
From a player's point of view, Yang Yang and other Real Madrid players have not felt what Ancelotti has done, and the training is still the same, that is, the main lineup this season is not very stable.
But Yang Yang knew that sometimes, he didn't do anything on the surface, but actually did a lot.
If you pay close attention to all Real Madrid games this season, it is not difficult to find a phenomenon. Isco gradually walked out of the stunning period. From the eye-catching early in the season, he gradually returned to normal, and David Silva also returned to the lineup.
Even to a certain extent, after the return of Xavi Alonso, it is more difficult to regain his main position, because his competitors have become Mascherano or Ilya Lamendi.
Real Madrid ’s midfield configuration is basically a combination of David Silva and Modric, plus a delayed midfielder, the main force is Mascherano, Xavi Martinez is still more in Rear line of defense.
And the team finds a stable play, it has nothing to do with the configuration of the midfield.
The two players, David Silva and Modric, are very interesting. They are only in their early sevens, they are not tall, they have thin feet, they have strong dribbling and passing ability, and their vision is very wide. ...
All in all, if the media and fans say that they are the top midfielders of the world, they have good offense and defense. Among them, David Silva ’s defensive data this season is also very eye-catching, against Real Betis. A steal has reached four times.
Obviously, under the stimulation of Isco, David Silva is also transforming and improving.
Of course, this is a general statement.
When everyone describes Harvey Alonso, Modric, David Silva, Iniesta, Harvey, the adjectives are basically those, but as they are on the court Yang Yang felt deeper than his teammates.
David Silva, a player from the winger, kicked the front waist at the beginning, a bit similar to Zidane, but it is interesting that he is short, flexible, and weak in confrontation.
Many people say that David Silva is like Iniesta. At first glance, this is indeed the case, but Yang Yang does not feel like it. He instead thinks that David Silva is like Messi, because both are very good at that. This kind of small step dribbling, dare to also be able to create opportunities in front of the opponent two or three defensive players.
Of course, David Silva must be slightly worse than Messi.
For example, both of them like to take the ball out of the crowd, which requires a lot of change of direction. Messi has done a good job in this respect, and David Silva is slightly weaker, mainly because he is here On the one hand, it is not as flexible as Messi.
Don't underestimate the flexibility, it affects the number of touches, and thus affects the control of the ball.
For example, the Super Training Field analyzed Messi ’s dribbling. He could run ten steps in just 2.5 seconds in the face of multiple defensive players at one time. Among these ten steps, his The number of touches reached four times, and the change of direction reached three times, all in intensive defense. This is a terrible ability.
David Silva ran out of 14 steps in 3.5 seconds, touched the ball five times and changed direction three times.
This is the gap between David Silva and Messi.
But that contrast is Messi, if compared with other top midfielders in the world, David Silva is not inferior.
If you put these boring numbers on the court, you will see that Messi can take the ball out of the defense of the three-man defense, but David Silva can't do it, he can only Peek at the timing pass in the bag.
And this season, under the pressure of Isco, David Silva has grown very fast, and his willingness to invest defensively has become stronger, making the role of the individual in the team further amplified.
If David Silva is offensively stronger than defensive, Modric is both offensive and defensive.
He seems to be able to do anything, can pass control, can lead to shoot, but singled out, it seems that he has no advantage.
For example, his dribbling control of the ball is not as good as David Silva and Iniesta, let alone Messi; his ability to threaten the ball is not as good as those of Harvey, Ozil and Fabregas; he Needless to say, after plugging in a shot, Harvey Alonso can press him on the ground and rub it, not to mention Fabregas, Lampard and Gerrard.
But it is such a player who looks like everything but does not seem to be top-notch, but has become the most reliant player in Ancelotti's midfield this season. Basically, he firmly locked a position in the midfield, and the others did not. Have to fight.
The reason is simple, he is very very comprehensive.
Yang Yang feels that if the previous football is very clear in the division of labor and cooperation, everyone is like a part in a machine, and their duties are different, then in recent years, the development trend of football has become more and more obvious. That is, everyone is developing in the direction of omnipotence.
Because on the court, it is often necessary to blur the position.
Work wherever you go.
Modric is like this, he can attack forward, he can defend after plugging, he can comb and pass in the midfield, he can defend when retreating, and he is very stable and runs a lot. , Is also the player who is most willing to run.
Sometimes Yang Yang feels that Ancelotti has been debugging for two years and finally found Modric's position in the team.
That is balance.
The Croatian midfielder is the balance bar of Real Madrid's offense and defense!
It took two years for Ancelotti to fully understand Modric, then David Silva, and others, and it is estimated that he still ca n’t understand Iss. Cole and Ilya Ramendi.
So, on the surface, Ancelotti didn't do anything, but everything on the team was slowly and unconsciously changing, and even in recent times they kept playing big scores.
This is the coaching ability of the world's top tactical masters!
Unlike Van Gaal, Benitez and others who Yang Yang had been in contact with before, Ancelotti will always look like a good old man, but he is transforming the team imperceptibly and creating the strongest team.
After realizing this level, Yang Yang suddenly felt that his understanding of football was still too superficial.
Even if he learned a lot of theoretical books on technology and tactics, he also has a lot of feelings about playing football, but compared with world famous coaches like Ancelotti and Benitez, the gap is still too far.
No wonder Zidane has to follow Benitez and Ancelotti after retiring.
At the same time, he also realized that, judging from the current situation, this year's Real Madrid is very promising!

…………
On the evening of January 21st, Barcelona's Eprat Stadium.
Once again came to the Spanish home, the last time Real Madrid played very difficult, and this time it was all main play.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid hit a wave of indiscriminate bombardment, almost pressing the Spaniard. Yang Yang shot a shot on the post in the 21st minute and rebounded back.
In the twenty-fifth minute, Carvajal quickly inserted on the right, Suarez grabbed the front point and headered, Yang Yang, who was following, easily headered and broke the Spanish goal. , The first record for Real Madrid.
Then Real Madrid continued to pressure. In the 31st minute, Yang Yang and Suarez made a two-on-one collision with the wall, but Suarez's shot was saved by goalkeeper Casilla.
In the 40th minute, Modric sent an overpass, Yang Yang barbed inside the penalty area, once again broke the Spaniard's goal, another real city for Real Madrid.
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, neither side was able to score again.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated the Spaniards 2-0 away with Yang Yang's scored twice and won the first round of the King's Cup quarter-finals.
In the other three matches that were played at the same time with Real Madrid, Real Society beat Atlético Santander 3-1 at home, Atlético Madrid beat Atlético Bilbao 1-0 at home and Barcelona beat Levante 4-1 at away.
Among them, Barcelona has just been tied by Levante in the league. This time a four-to-one victory is a big eyebrow, but among the four goals, one is an own goal and three are hat tricks played by the teenager.
That is, the luxury trident in the frontcourt is still not recovering.
