Chapter 87 The flash of genius! Yang Cheng: Shameless! [Please subscribe]
Arsenal drew with Bayswater Chinese away from home!
This is what the British media reported after the game.
Yes, the vast majority of mainstream media, including The Sun and The Times, believe that Arsenal drew with the Bayswater Chinese.
Because in the final period of the game, the home team clearly had the advantage.
Especially at the last minute, it was rare to force Wenger to adopt a conservative tactic of 532.
At the post-match press conference, Wenger complained about the Bayswater Chinese's first goal.
The professor pointed out that the goal was a foul and should be cancelled.
He tried to restore Arsenal's poor self-confidence.
Because he did not have a coaching certificate, Yang Cheng was not named in the team.
He's not even an assistant coach.
At the post-match press conference, he would attend if he wanted to, and if he didn't, Brian Kidd would go.
This time, Brian Kidd made a bloody complaint on behalf of Yang Cheng, believing that the Premier League referees were helping Arsenal.
Evidence?
Ribery’s jersey was torn. Wasn’t that a penalty kick, or what?
Judging from subsequent news and public opinion, Arsenal was in a disadvantageous position.
The strength shown by the Bayswater Chinese in the game deserves a victory.
Among them, The Times specifically mentioned Yang Cheng's formation and on-the-spot command.
Especially because they hid players such as Ribery and Modric, but in the second half, when the Arsenal players were almost exhausted, they sent in Ribery and Theo Walcott, which almost overwhelmed the Gunners. Defence.
“Wenger really took the risk.”
"If he hesitates even a little bit, he may not be able to get out of Loftus Road."
"This is definitely not a temporary move, but a trap carefully laid out by Yang Cheng before the game."
“The Bayswater Chinese broke into the top four of the Premier League standings as a newly promoted team. Yang Cheng has contributed a lot.”
“Even judging from the past few games, he is the number one contributor to the rise of this West London team!”
After 13 rounds of the Premier League! , the Bayswater Chinese have 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, with 28 points, ranking second in the Premier League.
Chelsea leads the standings with 31 points.
After that are Manchester United with 27 points and Arsenal with 23 points.
As Yang Cheng expected before the season, Mourinho's Chelsea are as stable as an old dog.
……
Speaking of AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie, many fans probably don’t know them.
Even in the Netherlands, this is not a strong team.
In 2002, the famous Dutch coach and offensive madman Co Adrianse took over Alkmaar.
It took him 3 years to take this team, which was inconspicuous in the Netherlands, to the third place in the Eredivisie and the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
As early as January 2005, Adriance announced early that he would leave at the end of the season.
His next stop is Porto in the Portuguese Super League.
AZ Alkmaar management contacted world-famous coach Louis van Gaal, who left his position as Ajax technical director.
Since then, this team has ushered in a new era.
If Adriansee injected offensive genes into Alkmaar, then Van Gaal saw the shortcomings of this team, which was poor defense.
So, after Van Gaal took over, based on Adriance's 433 tactical framework, he introduced a number of powerful veterans including Aviladze.
Van Gaal wants to use the experience and abilities of these old players to make up for Alkmaar's shortcomings.
At the same time, away from the power struggle of the big teams, Van Gaal was able to devote himself to the transformation of the club and targeted training of the players, thereby creating a team with high combat effectiveness.
Today, after 12 rounds of the Eredivisie, AZ Alkmaar ranks third in the Eredivisie behind PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord.
But this team continues the Adriansee period, has strong offensive firepower, and is the team with the strongest offensive ability in the Eredivisie.
At the same time, their defense has also been greatly improved. After PSV, they are the team with the second fewest goals conceded in the Eredivisie.
It can be said that Van Gaal's transformation and training had an immediate effect.
As early as when the UEFA Cup group stage draw results came out, Yang Cheng listed Alkmaar as his number one rival.
Not only because of Van Gaal, but also because it was an away game in the third round.
This round is crucial.
For Alkmaar to perform so well in the Eredivisie this season, striker Suta Aveladze from Georgia is indispensable.
The 32-year-old Georgia forward has played for Ajax in the Netherlands and Glasgow Rangers in Scotland.
This summer, the Scottish Premier League Glasgow Rangers did not renew the contract with Aviladze due to age.
At that time, Aveladze wanted to return to Ajax, but Ajax also rejected Aveladze's return because of his age.
Unexpectedly, after switching to Alkmaar, under Louis van Gaal, Suta Aviladze scored 9 goals in the first 5 rounds of the Eredivisie this season. Provided 5 assists and helped Alkmaar win five consecutive victories.
At that time, the entire European football world was shocked.
Everyone knows that the number of goals scored in the Eredivisie is very important.
But no matter how big it is, it's not that big, right?
In 5 rounds, 14 goals were scored, which was crazy!
But soon, after the freshness period, Aviladze was gradually understood.
From the 6th to the 12th round, Aviladze only scored 3 goals and 1 assist.
The data is pretty good, but compared to the craziness of the first five rounds, it is obviously much lower.
The reason is not difficult to understand.
Aveladze is not young, he is 1.81 meters tall, is proficient in both left and right feet, and has excellent foot skills.
He is not a powerful center, but a flexible technical forward.
Yang Cheng is still very confident in defending such a player.
So, he once again used the combination of Jose Fonte and Koscielny.
Before the game, he specifically told Koscielny to keep an eye on Aviladze.
Even if the Georgia forwards retreat, they must follow.
They are all three midfielders, but Yang Cheng arranged a three-midfield combination of Modric, Yaya Toure and Lass Diarra.
Completely suppressed Alkmaar's combination of Schaas, Dezeu and Lanzate.
Yang Cheng even lined up an attacking combination of Ribery, Lambert and Alan Lennon in the frontcourt.
For this game, Yang Cheng even did not hesitate to retain his strength when facing Arsenal and let many players substitute.
Careful preparations allowed the Bayswater Chinese to take the initiative at Alkmaar's Huth Stadium for most of the rest of the game, except for the opening, when Alkmaar took advantage of the home field advantage to take the initiative for a period of time. , all under the control of the Bayswater Chinese.
But the team has been unable to break the deadlock.
Yang Cheng kept waiting on the sidelines.
After the first half, the score was still 0-0.
In the second half, the team still failed to convert its advantage into goals.
Center Lambert missed opportunities many times in a row.
This made Yang Cheng gradually lose his patience on the sidelines.
……
“Alkmaar’s pair of central defenders are not very tall, but they complement each other very well.”
Brian Kidd looked at the court and felt helpless as the Bayswater Chinese attack failed again.
“Keu Yalins is fast and has a wide range of activities. He likes to tackle and mark closely.”
“Juris Matheson defends deeply and has excellent strength confrontation, which is his speed and Slow explosive power. "
"Lambert really has no advantage against these two central defenders."
Yang Cheng has been silent.
Hearing this, he glanced at his assistant and smiled slightly.
What he didn’t understand was that Brian Kidd was explaining to Lambert.
What the assistant coach said is indeed correct.
The combination of Matteisen and Yalins performed well, and the two teamed up to suppress Lambert.
So far in this game, the Bayswater Chinese have taken the initiative, but have been unable to break the deadlock.
Lambert is frozen, which is the biggest problem.
The two central defenders are indeed very complementary, but they are both only 1.83 meters tall.
According to Yang Cheng's pre-game arrangements, even if Lambert fails to suppress the opponent, he must at least be able to play ball for the teammates around and behind him, create opportunities and play a tactical role.
But the problem is that Lambert wasted many opportunities and the tactical effect was greatly reduced.
Of course, Yalins has been pestering him, which is the problem.
It can only be said that Lambert's strength has basically reached its bottleneck.
“Substitute!” Yang Cheng made a quick decision.
It’s only 60 minutes now, so the substitution is just right.
Brian Kidd had no problem with that either.
If you want to win, you have to make adjustments.
"Let Dzeko come on and replace Lambert."
The assistant coach immediately walked to the bench, called Dzeko and asked him to warm up quickly.
3 minutes later, Dzeko returned to the coaching bench and came to Yang Cheng.
"We now need someone to hold the ball in front of their defense, especially in the two ribs of the deep-lying midfielder. After turning around, whether he brings it to himself or passes it to his teammates."
“Especially on Matteisen’s side. He is a left-footed central defender who plays on the left side. He usually stays behind and is not easy to attack.”
When Yang Cheng said this, he turned to look at Dzeko.
Lambert is 1.88 meters tall, which is considered relatively tall.
Dzeko is taller, 1.93 meters, a full 10 centimeters taller than Alkmaar's two central defenders.
If it were just like this, Yang Cheng would not value Dzeko so much.
The most surprising thing about the Bosnian center is his foot skills.
Born in midfield, he is not slow, has delicate skills with his feet, and is proficient in both left and right feet.
The biggest shortcoming now is that the physical strength is not strong enough, and the header is not good enough.
This will take some time.
Needless to say, strength confrontation, header competition pays great attention to the strength of the core muscles of the waist and abdomen.
These all belong to the category of gyms.
Everything must be done step by step.
Dzeko is only 19 years old. This is also his first season in the Premier League, so he cannot be rushed.
“Don’t worry, I can do it!”
Zheke is very grateful to Yang Cheng for trusting him.
Now, when the team encounters difficulties, arranging him to come on as a substitute is also a sign of trust.
......
In the 63rd minute, Dzeko replaced Lambert.
Although he was not satisfied with Lambert's performance, Yang Cheng still gave him a hug and offered comfort and encouragement.
In the next league, Lambert needs to continue to shine.
After Dzeko came on as a substitute, the Bayswater Chinese's tactics also changed.
Van Gaal just made a slight adjustment, but nothing much.
The famous Dutch coach does not have great trust in the young Vlaar, so he never thought of using the taller Vlaar to mark Dzeko.
The first time the Bosnian center took the ball after coming on the field was on the right side of the frontcourt.
Dzeko did not retreat, but blocked Matteisson with his back and received the pass from Lars Diarra.
Although he was 10 centimeters shorter, Matteisen was pinned behind Dzeko, but the cunning Dutch central defender took advantage of the moment Dzeko stopped the ball and hit him from behind, making Dzeko lose. Focus on your weight and fall forward.
The referee did not blow the whistle and Alkmaar made a quick counterattack.
But this time when they reached the frontcourt, the Bayswater Chinese quickly snatched it back.
As soon as Yaya Toure got the ball, he took a step forward and immediately sent a direct pass before he passed the center line.
Dzeko retreated to the right side of the bottom of the center circle and observed the surrounding situation before receiving the ball.
As expected by the head coach, Mathisen didn’t make much of a move.
Yalins likes to grab the ball, but he plays as a right center back, so it is really difficult to grab this position.
So, after stopping the ball, Dzeko immediately turned around.
One stop and one turn, the movements are very skillful.
Dzeko immediately led the way.
But as soon as he entered the 30-meter area of Alkmaar, Dzeko was first hit from behind by Lanzate who was chasing behind him, and then he was tackled from the front by Matteisen.
People fell.
The ball was also lost.
No foul yet.
The cheers of Alkmaar fans could be heard throughout the stadium.
Yang Cheng quickly walked to the sidelines, clapped vigorously, and called Dzeko loudly.
"It doesn't matter, cheer up, keep playing like this, believe in yourself!"
"You can do it, Edin!"
At this moment, Yang Cheng believes that the live TV commentator must be here Complained that Dzeko was too sticky.
But in Yang Cheng's view, this is precisely where Dzeko has the most tactical value.
As recognized in the industry, only those who can turn around with their backs to the ball are considered first-class centers.
Being able to stably dribble the ball forward is very rare among high center forwards who are over 1.9 meters tall.
The most well-known is the guy under God.
Said he sticks to the ball?
That’s completely unintelligible. How much tactical effect does this have for a high center forward who is over 1.9 meters tall.
And Dzeko can run very well.
There is always a chance.
......
"You can do it, Edin!"
When Dzeko climbed up on the grass with a depressed heart, he happened to hear the coach's shout from the sidelines. Voice.
He turned his head and saw Yang Cheng applauding him.
This made him feel a strong sense of warmth.
Yang Cheng has always supported and trusted him unconditionally.
“Who says that a small country cannot produce football geniuses, and who says that players with low transfer fees cannot be geniuses?”
“He, Edin Dzeko, is a genius!”
Even though more than half a year has passed, Dzeko still recalls Yang Cheng’s words at the FA hearing from time to time. He told people from the British Home Office, the Ministry of Sports and the FA, Fight with reason.
He wants to prove that Edin Dzeko is a genius!
This moved Dzeko very much.
Not long ago, Dzeko stood at the door of his office and heard with his own ears what he said to Adam Crozier.
“I don’t plan to introduce a striker during the winter break, there is no need at all.”
“We have Dzeko!”
"I believe in Dzeko!"
Thinking about it, the Bosnia and Herzegovina center's eyes turned red.
The whole person felt like being burned by fire, hot and scorching.
He started running non-stop on the court.
Although he is tall, his running ability is very good and he comes off the bench.
He was like a heavily equipped tank rushing into the downtown area, crushing him everywhere, putting huge pressure on Alkmaar's defense.
This kind of pressure is not only on a technical and tactical level, but also on a psychological level.
And Dzeko is not running aimlessly.
He knows that Alkmaar’s shots often look for Matteisen.
He has always been paying attention and waiting for the opportunity.
In the 70th minute of the game, Alkmaar once again stole the ball in the backcourt.
The Bayswater Chinese launched a counterattack on the spot.
The ball is at the feet of Tim Dekler on the left.
Dzeko saw that Alan Lennon had pounced on him immediately, and he immediately followed.
But the Bosnian kept an extra eye and always paid attention to Matteisen.
Sure enough, after Tim Dekler was pressed by Alan Lennon on the left wing, he immediately chose to pass back to Matteisson.
Dzeko felt happy, suddenly accelerated his speed, and rushed towards Matteisen in one stride.
Before the 1.83-meter-meter Matheson even received the ball, he felt the pressure of the 1.93-meter Dzeko rushing towards him.
This made Tyson, who was not very good at his feet and not very agile in his movements, a bit stunned.
It came so fast!
Van Gaal had a very specific preference for centre-backs.
He likes to use his left-footed center back to play on the left side and his right-footed center back to play on the right side.
The advantage of this is that it is easier to play the ball.
Before the game, the head coach emphasized this point when deploying the team's tactics.
Dzeko always remembers it.
At this moment, when Dzeko rushed towards Matteisen, he did not pay attention to his right foot, but stared at his left foot.
When the ball passed by Dekler from the left came in front of him, coupled with the pressure from Dzeko, Matteisen instinctively stretched out his left foot to stop.
With Aaron Lennon close to Decker, it was impossible for Matheisen to pass the ball back.
His idea was to stop, control, block Dzeko, and pass back to the goalkeeper.
But under the heavy pressure, his kick stopped a little too much and was slightly out of his control.
On an ever-changing court, even if the stop is 1 meter larger, it is very fatal.
Dzeko is tall and has long legs. When he rushed in front of Matheson, he saw that the opponent had stopped a little wider. He immediately took a decisive step and took the ball before Matheson.
Matthew was shocked and immediately chased after him.
Dzeko had already taken the lead and moved the ball to the outside with the outside instep of his right foot, blocking Matteisen with his body.
Matthew knew he had made a big mistake and immediately stuck to Dzeko, preventing him from turning around and facing the goal.
Although Dzeko is tall, his strength is relatively weak, and he cannot compete head-on with Matteisen.
The center of Bosnia and Herzegovina skillfully dribbled the ball to the right side of the outside of the penalty area.
Just when Matteisen and Alkmaar secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought they were out of danger, Dzeko suddenly paused, his left shoulder sank, and his whole body moved to the bottom line.
Matheson, who was standing on the inside of the right side of the penalty area, naturally couldn't follow up immediately as he wished.
Unexpectedly, Dzeko spiked the ball to the right with his left foot, turned around successfully, faced his own half, and took a step back.
While dribbling the ball, Dzeko also turned his head and glanced at the penalty area.
Matthew reacted quickly and rushed back, fearing that Dzeko would break into the penalty area.
But the Bosnia and Herzegovina center never thought about entering the penalty area.
Not waiting for Matteisen to catch up, Dzeko swung his slender left foot and rubbed it towards the football.
In the penalty area, whether it is Alkmaar's goalkeeper Henk Timmer or central defender Yalins, they are all gathered at the front point.
This is also a normal choice for all defensive teams.
Ribery is surrounded by them.
But Dzeko's kick passed through a beautiful arc in the air and landed in the back of no one.
Just when everyone was wondering, a red figure quickly rushed up, faced Dzeko's pass, poked his head, and smashed the ball into the undefended goal.
“The ball went in!!!”
"In the 71st minute, the Bayswater Chinese scored a goal from Alkmaar!"
"From their captain, midfielder Luka Modric!"
" This is a great collaboration from two talented players!”
“Mo. Delic was the first player in the history of English football to use the special talent clause in 2003, and Dzeko used the special talent clause in 2005. "
"Now, the cooperation of the two players has made Bess. Walter Chinese opened the scoring! ”
"1 to 0!"
......
Yang Cheng was so excited that he jumped up on the sidelines and clapped his hands.
“He actually saw it!” Brian Kidd was also very excited.
“This proves that our special training in the past period is effective.” Yang Cheng smiled.
Brian Kidd nodded repeatedly.
Looking at Yang Cheng again, there was admiration in his eyes.
Early before the start of this season’s summer training camp, Yang Cheng advocated adding a special training.
The purpose is to improve the team's ability to play the ball and predict space under higher intensity pressure in the Premier League.
Everyone knows that if the passing target is stationary, the passing accuracy is most accurate.
The faster the target moves and the farther the passing distance, the greater the pressure on the passer and the greater the passing error. This involves a prediction of space.
Moreover, both the passer and receiver must make the same prediction at the same time.
Only in this way can a successful pass be formed.
When Yang Cheng was coaching in his previous life, he liked to go to the Covelciano training base in Italy to listen to lessons.
Once, he was listening to a professor's lecture, which mentioned that American NFL teams usually have more than 20 coaching teams, and each position has a dedicated coach who conducts very detailed analysis and training of the game.
Among them, they will help players accurately predict the receiver's position and timing through careful planning and repeated training.
Rugby training methods are not suitable for football.
But the success of the American NFL proves one thing.
The ability to play the ball under high pressure and the ability to predict space can be improved through training.
Yang Cheng was very interested in this matter and discussed it a lot with the professor, but they were all theoretical things.
No one knows how to practice it.
Because in football, everyone feels, this is the feeling.
The talent of a top passer!
But Yang Cheng didn't think so. He felt that talent must exist.
Some people are born with a keener sense of space and a stronger understanding of the game.
But the problem is that it is not necessary to train every player to be a 100-point passing master.
As long as the players are trained to 80 points, or even 75 points, wouldn’t it be enough?
When Yang Cheng was coaching in the Bundesliga in his previous life, he experienced the German engineering thinking, especially the so-called training room.
So, not long ago, Yang Cheng proposed to build a simulation space during the second phase of the Brent Training Base project.
It is similar to the training room popular in German football.
The difference is that the surrounding walls will be covered with circular holes, each hole larger than the ball.
These holes are closed, but during training, one of them will be opened randomly. All the players have to do is pass the ball into this hole.
Not only that, the entire room will be captured by high-definition cameras without blind spots, and the timing, strength, and angle of each player's pass will be counted.
Corresponding to the player's passing timing, route and distance on the court.
However, there is currently no relevant data analysis software in the industry.
So, Yang Cheng asked Gianni Vio to start building a data analysis model.
This model uses a three-dimensional coordinate system. The coordinate axes are the timing, route and distance of the pass obtained from the training in the ball training room, as well as other supporting facilities including the number of steps before passing the ball and the frequency of the pass. data.
In addition, this data analysis model can also perform data analysis on players in games and training.
The three coordinates are the passer's passing timing, the receiver's running timing, and the passing distance.
This can be used to analyze very well, who is responsible for the successful pass of the ball?
The transfer failed, which link caused the problem?
After everything is ready, players can get timely and accurate data feedback for every game, every training session, and every training session in the ball room.
That alone is not enough.
So, Yang Cheng has already started working in advance and spent the whole summer with the coaching staff to customize some targeted special training for the team.
There are group confrontations in small venues, as well as passing and cutting training on standard football venues.
Since the second phase of the Brent training base project has just started, and the training room is still looking for customization by a company, the Bayswater Chinese are basically conducting special training this season.
It is arranged twice a week, each time is only about 15 minutes, and it is all arranged in the daily training program.
In the past period, the team has repeatedly seen scenes of players passing the ball with remarkable effect.
Dzeko’s pass just now was also impressive.
That's why Brian Kidd is so excited.
However, it is not the time to be happy yet.
"Dzeko's body is still too weak. Think of a way to strengthen it as soon as possible."
Yang Chengke still remembers that when the Bosnian center came on as a substitute, he was tackled twice in a row. .
This kind of physical confrontation is enough in the Premier League.
Brian Kidd quickly nodded in agreement.
……
With Dzeko’s goal, the deadlock was broken.
Van Gaal also made decisive substitutions.
Dutch right winger Merdinck came on as a substitute to strengthen the frontcourt attack.
Obviously, Van Gaal is not willing to let the Bayswater Chinese take away 3 points at home.
After Yang Cheng took the lead, he signaled the team to continue the previous style of play.
Especially Dzeko in the frontcourt.
The center of Bosnia and Herzegovina was more active, constantly putting pressure on Alkmaar's defense, making both the two central defenders Mathisson and Yalins miserable.
The height difference is so big, and Dzeko can run and is not slow, the pressure is too great.
But just when everyone focused on the active Dzeko, the game was restricted. Ribery, who performed mediocrely, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and played an eye-catching attack.
After receiving a pass from Leighton Baines, Ribery faced the 1.89-meter-tall full-back Stanson and passed the ball from the left, throwing away the defender. After catching up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he flicked it with his left foot.
In the middle are two 1.83 meter tall Yalins and Matteisen.
In this case, Dzeko, who is 1.93 meters tall, stands out even more.
How could the Bosnian center miss such a God-given opportunity?
Dzeko rushed into Alkmaar's penalty area like a heavily equipped tank. He jumped high, shook his head and headed the ball to the left side of the goal.
Goalkeeper Timmer was still moving to the right side of the goal when he was suddenly pushed in the opposite direction by Dzeko. How could he react?
“The ball is scored again!!!”
“2 to 0!”
“Edin Dzeko from Bosnia and Herzegovina, for Bayswater Chinese Another city! ”
"This 19-year-old high school forward completely changed the game after he came on the field."
"His passes and shots helped the Bayswater Chinese secure the victory."
"2 to 0!"
"This score is enough for the Bayswater Chinese to walk out of Alkmaar's Huth Stadium with their heads held high. At the same time, they have won 3 consecutive games in the group stage and qualified early!"
……
"Today's game reminds me of the second El Clasico of the 2003/04 La Liga season."
After the game, when Van Gaal came to Yang Cheng, his mood had recovered.
After so many years of coaching, I have long been pessimistic about the outcome.
But he is obviously more interested in the content of the game.
"How do you say it?" Yang Cheng vaguely guessed something, but pretended not to know.
Van Gaal took a deep look at Yang Cheng and smiled.
"The entire lineup configuration is too similar."
"Is there any?" Yang Cheng laughed.
He didn't think it was a ridicule to him, but more like a compliment.
There is no such thing as plagiarism in the football circle, and it is impossible to plagiarize.
There are no two identical players in the world, so how can they be copied?
“When Rijkaard coached Barcelona, he was always figuring things out. Before Edgar Davids joined, the team ranked 12th in La Liga.”
“ With the addition of Davis, this Barcelona team went 17 games undefeated in La Liga, winning 14 and drawing 3, and defeated Real Madrid 2-1 away in the second national derby.”
Yang Cheng is also very familiar with this game.
It can be said that this game is the rise of the Barcelona Dream Team dynasty!
"I still remember clearly that Edgar Davis and Harvey were in the midfield, and Cocu was behind."
Yang Cheng nodded.
As a first-line head coach, you must know all these games by heart.
This is the basic skill.
"Your midfield configuration is Lars Diarra, Modric, and Yaya Toure is deep behind."
Having said this, Van Gaal looked at Yang Cheng deeply and asked lightly: "Is it similar?"
Yang Cheng shook his head, "Las Diarra's impact is not as good as Davis, Modric His stability is not as good as Xavi’s, and Yaya Toure’s defense is not as good as Cocu’s.”
Hearing this, Van Gaal couldn’t help but chuckle.
"You only talk about the bad parts, why don't you mention the better parts?"
Yang Cheng was silent.
“Barcelona’s frontcourt has Ronaldinho on the left and Overmars on the right, while your frontcourt has Franck Ribery on the left and Alan Lennon on the right. Isn’t it similar? "
"But the most surprising thing is the center and the process of the game."
"In that game, Barcelona's midfielder had the advantage, but took the lead. The ball was for Real Madrid. Solari scored in the 54th minute. Rijkaard replaced Saviola with Kluivert in the 57th minute. "
"Played for 1 minute. Kluivert equalized the score for Barcelona and sounded the clarion call for Barcelona's counterattack. "
After Kluivert came on, Real Madrid's defense completely collapsed.
In the 69th minute, Figo's second yellow card was the best proof.
And Barcelona also scored another victory in the 86th minute.
Yang Cheng also has a deep memory of this game.
Like?
It is indeed very similar.
Football techniques and tactics lead to the same goal through different paths.
For example, what kind of midfield configuration and what kind of wing configuration, if you compare them carefully, it is easy to find that successful teams often have the same thing.
Barcelona chose not to sign Davis in the summer of 2004 because they had a more suitable candidate.
Later, the soul core of the second dream team, Deco.
So, Van Gaal is praising the Bayswater Chinese.
"The center who comes off the bench is more in line with your tactics than Lambert."
Yang Cheng did not express his position.
"Your current midfielder is indeed very good, but the defense is a bit too much. Yaya Toure is more capable than Cocu back then. What you need is a Deco to share the burden of Modric. pressure."
"This will give your midfield more control and creativity."
Las Diarra, Modric and Yaya. Toure's midfielder allows the Bayswater Chinese to not fall behind in the midfield even when facing strong Premier League teams.
In many cases, you can even gain the upper hand.
The team's defense this season is excellent because the midfielder is strong enough.
Van Gaal’s vision is absolutely correct.
In other words, if Lass Diarra is replaced by "Deco", wouldn't it be Real Madrid's official three midfielders?
Toni Kroos, Modric and Casemiro.
This is the so-called constant change.
But the problem is that with the current strength of the Bayswater Chinese, they cannot find a Toni Kroos-like player.
Not only must he have excellent running support and excellent passing stability, but he must also have the ability to transfer the ball with accurate long passes.
Pirlo, Carrick, Scholes or Xabi Alonso would be fine.
The question is, who can the Chinese in Bayswater poach?
The answer is, none can be found.
Real Madrid's three midfielders are indeed not as good as Barcelona's Habaib in terms of passing control and creativity.
But the three midfielders in Ceremony are more comprehensive and more durable.
Barcelona's Habaib will be greatly reduced when he arrives in the Premier League.
The three midfielders of the ceremony will not.
That's the difference.
Yang Cheng tried the combination of Inle, Modric and Yaya Toure, but when facing some strong teams, the effect was not as good as Lars Diarra.
The French midfielder's steals and passes are very good.
Under Yang Cheng's refinement and supervision, his playing habits have improved a lot.
So, Yang Cheng will not easily break this combination before finding a more suitable player.
"You have the skills, the body, and the courage to play in high positions. The key is that you are still so young..."
When Van Gaal said this, his eyes when he looked at Yang Cheng were full of memories.
"European football has not seen such an amazing team for a long time!"
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes upward and almost blurted out a curse.
Praise yourself if you want to, why bother beating around the bush?
Wasn't the last team like this your Ajax?
Shameless!
......
However, sometimes, some things are really annoying.
I just chatted with Van Gaal about Barcelona and Edgar Davis in the Netherlands.
After returning to London, the Bayswater Chinese played at home and ushered in the 14th round of the Premier League.
The opponent is the North London team Tottenham Hotspur.
In the first 8 minutes, Ribery took advantage of a mistake by Tottenham's defense and scored the goal.
After that, the two sides went back and forth, and the game was relatively deadlocked.
The Bayswater Chinese are fighting on two fronts, while Tottenham are waiting for work, but the home team still has the advantage on the scene.
The double central defenders composed of Ledley King and Michael Dawson performed very steadily, once again restricting Lambert and blocking the Bayswater Chinese's attacks again and again.
In the 77th minute of the second half, Edgar Davis, who had transferred from Inter Milan, got the ball on the left, took big steps and dribbled the ball forward quickly.
Skrtel made a decisive move and wanted to snipe Davis in the middle line.
As a result, Davis and Carrick played a one-two against the wall, broke away from Skrtel's defense, and broke into the left side of the penalty area ahead of Jose Fonte.
Neuer abandoned the goal and struck out into the middle, and Davis took a decisive step.
The ball passed under Neuer and went straight into the goal.
1 to 1!
It’s even!
The 32-year-old Dutch dribbled the ball for nearly 60 meters. It was incredible!
In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 1 to 1.
...
In midweek, the Bayswater Chinese faced Newcastle at home in the League Cup round of 16 knockout match.
The continuous strong dialogue makes the Bayswater Chinese who are fighting on two fronts feel very tired.
Especially in the 30th minute, when Jose Fonte and Shearer were fighting for each other, he sprained his leg and came off injured, which made Yang Cheng feel very depressed.
In the second half, Yang Cheng successively replaced Leighton Bynes and other players to strengthen the offense.
In the 78th minute, Walcott was on the right. When facing Elliott, he made a very exciting pass. He used his speed to forcefully break through Newcastle's defense and broke into the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. The triangle is passed back to the middle.
Dzeko flexibly took the ball, turned around, hit the goal with his left foot, and scored Newcastle's goal.
1 to 0!
This is also the only goal in the entire game.
The Bayswater Chinese narrowly defeated Newcastle and successfully advanced to the top 8.
After the game, Jose Fonte was examined and determined to have only a minor sprain, nothing serious, and he will rest for one to two weeks.
……
Saturday afternoon, the 15th round of the Premier League, Liverpool Anfield Stadium.
When the referee Yuriha Reni blew the whistle at the end of the game, Yang Cheng waved his hand angrily.
1 to 0!
That was the final result on the scoreboard.
After the opening, the Bayswater Chinese took the initiative in the game and created consecutive opportunities.
Especially Ribery, created two corner kick opportunities on the left.
On one of the corner kicks, Skrtel hit the crossbar and almost scored.
This forces Benitez's team to pay more attention to defense.
But in the 19th minute, Liverpool made a quick counterattack.
Crouch's volley from outside the penalty area hit Leighton Baines' leg and bounced high.
Neuer did not expect that the ball would suddenly change direction, and he reacted quickly enough to immediately change his strategy and try to shoot it out of the goal.
As a result, the ball was hit, but because it was a high ball, it hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced back to the goal.
0 to 1!
If that's all, then forget it.
Before the end of the first half, the Bayswater Chinese hit the post once more.
Yang Cheng was completely depressed.
In the second half, the Bayswater Chinese continued to launch offensives, while Liverpool defended and counterattacked.
I have to admit that Benitez's team's defense is very tight.
In the end, Yang Cheng's team lost 0-1 at Anfield Stadium.
This is also the second defeat for the Bayswater Chinese so far this season.
After 15 rounds of games, the Bayswater Chinese have a record of 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, with 29 points, ranking third in the Premier League.
Chelsea ranked first with 37 points, and Manchester United ranked second with 33 points.
After the Bayswater Chinese, Liverpool scored 28 points, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton all scored 26 points.
...
After losing to Liverpool in the away game, Yang Cheng and the team had no time to stop and feel sad.
Four days later, the team welcomed Hamburg, Germany, at home.
This is the last round of the UEFA Cup group stage.
Since the team has qualified early, Yang Cheng made a large rotation in this game, and focused on defensive counterattacks.
Hamburg's core midfielder Van der Vaart injured his ankle in the league and failed to play.
This seriously affected Hamburg's organization and offense.
In the 30th minute, the home team made a quick counterattack. Walcott drove the ball straight from the right and passed diagonally behind the right rib.
Dzeko stopped the ball and dunked past Hamburg central defender Van Buyten, then hit the goal with his kick.
1 to 0!
After that, no matter how Hamburg attacked, they were unable to break through the defense of the double central defenders composed of Skrtel and Koscielny.
In the end, the team defeated Hamburg 1-0.
……
On the weekend, in the 16th round of the Premier League, the Bayswater Chinese challenged Chelsea away.
Due to the rotation in the midweek UEFA Cup match, the Bayswater Chinese players are more physically fit and in better shape this time.
Defense backbone Jose Fonte also returned from injury and returned to the main lineup.
Chelsea lost Makelele due to injury.
Mourinho sat at home and deployed a more offensive midfield lineup.
Joe Cole and Lampard were in the middle, and Essien stayed behind to serve as the single midfielder.
According to Mourinho's idea, he hopes to use Joe Cole's ball control ability to control the game.
But during the game, he had to discover to his dismay that such a midfield set could not suppress the Bayswater Chinese.
In the game, the Chelsea midfielder's ball control area is more at the bottom of the center circle in their own half.
And most of them are cross passes and return passes.
Most of the forward passes are from the wing, allowing Robben and Duff to rush.
Yang Cheng was well prepared for this. Leighton Baines and Chimbanda teamed up to restrain Robben and Duff.
So Mourinho made adjustments in the 25th minute.
Joe Cole is further forward, in the two ribs, supporting Robben and Duff.
This still failed to break the Chinese defense line in Bayswater.
But Chelsea is lucky.
In the 32nd minute, Robben received a pass from Joe Cole on the left and forced a breakthrough, creating a corner kick opportunity.
Lampard took a corner kick, and Terry beat Jose Fonte, who had just returned from injury, and hit the goal with a header.
1 to 0!
This goal completely ignited the passion of Stamford Bridge.
At the same time, it also made Chelsea players extremely excited.
3 seasons already!
They faced the Bayswater Chinese and played 3 games and lost all of them.
This is the 4th game!
We must win it no matter what!
Let me explain to you, there is really no problem with the schedule. The Premier League schedule in those years was so arbitrary. Thank you book friends! !
