Vol 4 Chapter 1278: Character determines fate

The first half of the game ended with a temporary Barcelona one-to-zero lead, but when Real Madrid players walked back to the locker room, the expression on each player's face did not see the frustration of the loser. Instead, they were confident and Unwilling.
Everyone can see that this is not like the look of the backward.
This is also related to the situation in the first half.
After Barcelona took the lead in the first three minutes, Real Madrid began to organize the offensive and defensive steadily, and did not leave Barcelona with many opportunities. The only impression should be Iniesta's direct pass and Messi. Suddenly, a long shot was inserted, but they failed to form a threat.
After a long period of running in, Courtois has gradually integrated into Real Madrid's defensive system. The fierce competition between him and Navas has allowed the Belgian goalkeeper to continue to improve his level, and finally in this game. Play it out.
Except for these two threatening attacks, Barcelona barely made a decent attack.
Neymar on the left has no fancy sidewalks, Messi on the right does not have his own unique quick start, and Cristiano Ronaldo has a hard time getting opportunities inside and outside the penalty area ...
It can be said that under Real Madrid's meticulous tactics, Barcelona's offensive trident was contained.
Although a goal was scored in the first three minutes, Real Madrid ’s steadily played tactics allowed the team to gain a foothold and also allowed Real Madrid players to regain the rhythm and confidence of the game. They began to realize that they did not lose game.
It is this confidence that allows them to return to the dressing room with a more positive mental outlook.
Upon returning to Real Madrid's dressing room, Yang Yang led the discussion about the first half.
...
"Harvey, is it okay over there?" Yang Yang asked.
"Cristiano Ronaldo started too fast, with a lot of pressure and effort." Xavi Martinez said breathlessly. Obviously defending the Portuguese in the first half made him particularly expensive.
"Yeah, there are Neymar, Iniesta and Messi, it is best not to let them enter the restricted area." Ramos also spoke aside.
Real Madrid's central defenders are mainly brave, but not dexterous. Facing the brilliant Cristiano Ronaldo, the dexterous Neymar, Iniesta and Messi are very difficult.
Yang Yang also understands this, because he himself is known for his explosiveness and dexterity, and naturally knows what type of situation the defensive player is most afraid of.
"Then try to block the football outside the penalty area. In areas where there is no threat, we can properly use foul tactics to delay opponents, but pay attention to actions, don't get cards." Yang Yang reminded.
"Our defense in the first half was very good, especially in the position and running position. They are very targeted. I believe that as long as we continue to play like this, it will be difficult for Barcelona to break through our defense, but it requires us to grind our teeth. Stick to it."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Mascherano, the physical energy consumption of Argentina's lower back is also very large.
"Is it okay?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
Mascherano nodded vigorously, "Relax, no problem."
"Messi will definitely invest more in the second half, and the threat will be greater. We need you to protect the penalty area and the defense line at the front of the penalty area, especially to deal with Messi's plug and cut in. This is terrible. Throw the ball. "
Yang Yang said seriously, and Mascherano was also aware of his pressure, and nodded solemnly: "No problem, as long as I have a breath, I will never let him easily pass through my defense zone."
"I will protect on the flank." David Silva's offense is on the left, and the defense is on Messi's side.
"I can also properly reduce the number of forward insertions and protect the wings." Marcelo also said.
"I can watch Alves." Hazard said with confidence.
This is a UEFA Champions League final. Real Madrid is still one goal behind. This is not only a test for the whole team, but also a test for the players.
If Real Madrid does not want to lose, then everyone must be fully committed to the game.
"Barça's offensive actually uses Messi as the axis, using Messi and the right to pull our defense, forcing us to shift the defensive center of gravity to this side, and then suddenly shift to the left and play Neymar and Alba in Personal ability of the sidewalk. "
Barcelona's set of play is very similar to Real Madrid's overall thinking. It can even be said that in the past few years, Real Madrid swept Europa relying on its own two sides of the powerful attack fire, which is difficult for other teams to emulate.
"So, while we stabilized the defense in the second half, we counterattacked with our right side as the main direction, resolutely played fast, and after hitting, we couldn't fight back the first time, and we also had to firmly suppress the opponent's left side. "
Speaking of which, Yang Yang smiled confidently, "I believe everyone saw it. Although we lost a goal after the opening, we quickly stabilized our position and recovered our game rhythm, but this is obviously not enough. We need to find a way to suppress the opponent while stabilizing our rhythm, while patiently looking for opportunities to attack, equalize or even reverse the score! "
All Real Madrid players heard this and clearly felt a look.
No one wants to lose, especially Real Madrid's players, and Yang Yang has a pivotal core position in Real Madrid's dressing room. Every sentence he made convinced all the players.
"After the first half of the game, I think that the key to the second half is how to resist Barcelona's attack and at the same time aim at their weaknesses. Simply put, we need to avoid Barcelona's high position and directly attack the opponent's defense.
When it comes to this, Yang Yang looked at his teammates, "Trust me, as long as you pass the ball to me, as long as I face the opponent's defense directly, I will definitely be able to score the ball into Barcelona's goal!"
Hearing Yang Yang's loud voice and clanging strong promises, all Real Madrid players looked excited.
For Yang Yang, they never doubt that they are always full of confidence, even relying on it.
...
Ancelotti stood at the door of the locker room and heard the players in the locker room.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that Yang Yang inside looked more like a head coach, but he seemed a lot more.
There is no doubt that today's Real Madrid players trust Yang Yang far more than his head coach. Especially after the tactical mistakes in the first half, his already fragile trust in the players' hearts was hit again.
Three feet of ice is not a cold day.
The reason why his situation in Real Madrid's dressing room has reached today's plight is that to some extent, there are some objective factors, but also his own reasons. Every time he reflects on it, he regrets it because he It could have been better.
But after reflection, he often repeats the mistakes of the past.
This is his character!
Some people say that character determines fate.
But in the football world, does character determine the coaching style of a head coach?
Although the contact is not deep, Ancelotti can see that although Yang Yang is an attacker, his character is calm, calm and rational, so his football philosophy is based on stability, practicality and efficiency. Only when he has defeated his opponent will he consider other things, such as scoring a few more goals.
This is also Yang Yang's style when playing football, calm, efficient and practical, but there is rarely a flash of genius.
Not that he didn't, but he didn't want to use it.
Sometimes, Ancelotti is also looking forward to it. Want to see what kind of team he will bring if Yang Yang really becomes the head coach? What can be achieved?
But these are all words.
At this moment, at the entrance of Real Madrid's dressing room, Ancelotti had to adjust his emotions and gently opened the door.
With Yang Yang saying so much, Ancelotti suddenly discovered that he didn't know what to say.
…………
…………
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, neither team made substitution adjustments.
But there is an obvious change in Barcelona, ​​and that is speeding up.
Luis Enrique was obviously aware of the problem in the first half, and after scoring a goal in three minutes, Barcelona had never been able to create a threat, so he tried to increase the speed to create more opportunities for the trident in the frontcourt. Get more space and give full play to your one-on-one personal ability.
After a Barcelona midfielder intercepted the ball and formed a quick counterattack, Rakitic went straight into the left side of the penalty area and Cristiano Ronaldo shot at ten meters in front of the door.
But Yang Yang quickly realized the problem and immediately signaled his teammates to stabilize the rhythm and not to speed up with Barcelona.
He clearly realized that Barcelona's speed-up was actually a change in mentality.
Real Madrid played too stable, so stable that Barcelona did not create a threat, which is also a pressure for Barcelona, ​​especially in the past so many years, the results have been completely crushed, why is Barcelona not in a hurry?
Yang Yang believes that there is no response yet, but it will be more obvious next.
But the more so, the more Real Madrid should be stable.
Suppress the opponent steadily, block the opponent steadily, and steadily await the opportunity.
In this case, Ancelotti on the sidelines seemed to be deprived of the head coach's command. Many players on the field didn't listen to him much, and Yang Yang was on the field.
Everyone, including Ancelotti himself, discovered this, but they all knew that Yang Yang still had a lot of anger.
He reminded Ancelotti, but the Italian obviously did not care, so he would prove it his own way.
In the fifty-first minute, Barcelona again planned an offensive. All tridents appeared on the left and collided with the wall. However, they still could not enter the penalty area and hurried to hit the door.
Mascherano has made a great contribution to the defense at the front of the penalty area.
The ball is still at the foot of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid is still patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Only one minute later, Real Madrid finally seized an opportunity.
Ramos suddenly grabbed the ball, passing the ball from Iniesta to Neymar to a steal in advance, and quickly passed to Tonic Ross, who made a long pass and launched a counterattack on the right.
