Super Coach

607 group qualifying

On the evening of December 6, 2006, 20:45

Ukraine, Kiev, Valery Lobanovsky Stadium

In rain and snow, the temperature is minus 5 degrees, the breeze is very cold.

For Real Madrid players accustomed to the climate of Madrid, suddenly came to Ukraine in ice and snow, the huge drop is enough to crash an iron man, especially in this sleet weather.

"If it is bigger, the game will be postponed altogether, but it's just that it's not that big or small, it's really ridiculous!"

Standing in front of the coach team of the visiting team, Yang Cheng was wrapped in a thick black windbreaker and a warm scarf wrapped around his neck. The whole body was fully armed and wrapped tightly, but when it was drizzle and snow When "Flower" fell on his head, it was chilling and uncomfortable.

After defeating Lyon, Real Madrid ushered in Valencia immediately. As a result, they scored a 1: 1 draw with Valencia on the road. They were widened by Barcelona to 7 points, but three days ago, the 13th round of the Barcelona League Challenged Levante away, accidentally "forced" by Levante, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at home, and shortened to 5 points.

At the moment for Real Madrid, the most important thing is to strive for the first place in the Champions League, but the home of Dynamo Kiev is too devil.

"It's too wet, so uncomfortable!" Benitez on the side stepped on the turf under his feet.

"You are wearing too much, fat!" Paul Bayer smiled.

Benitez is very disgusted that other people say that he is fat. In fact, he is actually getting fatter and fatter than before, but he hasn't exercised much, and his body is very blessed. Now Yang Cheng is holding him down. Fat "idea.

"In rainy and snowy weather, the geothermal system is turned on, and it is certain that the" tide "is wet, even the air is full of water!" Yang Cheng shook his head.

It is conceivable that in this cold and "tide" wet, the entire court space is wet, and it is not convenient to move hands and feet, how can players on the court let go of their hands to play football?

Real Madrid players wore black "color" visiting team jerseys for this game, but they were all long-sleeved and the socks were also long. In order to keep warm, but once the game time is long, or after falling to the ground, these The jerseys and socks will absorb any water, which will become the biggest obstacle for players to play their skills.

"Don't say we complained, voila, the game is about to start. How many people are in the stands? Not more than ten thousand!" Redondo shook his head.

Empty "swing" "swing", those security personnel have become the largest group of "fans" of the ball, even Dynamo Kiev's "fans" are reluctant to watch the ball in this climate, sometimes thinking Thinking, Yang Cheng really thinks that the Champions League is really a "fuck" egg.

Due to the considerations of venue, climate and other aspects, plus the team's injury, Real Madrid has made no small adjustments in this game.

"Goal" goalkeeper Casillas, the defenders are Aveloa, Elgra, Tiago Silva and Marcelo, from left to right in the midfield are Mata, De La Red, Beckham and Granero, the double forwards are Negredo and Villa.

In the change of 442, Yang Cheng felt that in Ukraine, in this environment, playing technical football with Dynamo Kyiv is definitely a fool's dream. The best way is to kill the opponent in the simplest, most direct, and capable way.

Ramos was still not included in the starting lineup by Yang Cheng. Thuram ’s injury was still not good, but Cannavaro was also injured in the game against Athletic Bilbao. In the winter, the injury always comes especially. , Especially some older people.

The overall strength dominates, making Real Madrid play very actively from the start, but the grass is too slippery, and the ball is difficult to be gripped by their arms like usual, and there are many mistakes. Dynamo Kiev knows that its strength is not good , Simply play a defensive counterattack.

In the 13th minute, Dynamo's right-back threw the ball into the court, Marcelo did not appear in time, and stuck in position. After the former Manchester City veteran Berkovic responded, the ball was easily sent to the penalty area by a diagonal pass. Tiago Silva predicted the landing in advance, and wanted to make it at the first point.

Because the geothermal system was turned on, the snow quickly melted on the grass, but it also made the grass very slippery. When he was fighting for a position, one of his feet slipped accidentally, although he stabilized in time However, the big foot trailing behind him missed the ball and missed the ball. With a strong spin from under his feet, the ball rolled towards the nearby Kiev Dynamo striker Shaskikh.

The latter will definitely not miss this God-given opportunity, welcoming the ball, directly "pulling" and "shooting", and sending the ball into the "door" of the ball guarded by Casillas, 1: 0!

Real Madrid's players have been stunned. The team has encountered huge difficulties in this game. Now that they are behind again, wouldn't it be worse?

Tiago Silva covered her mouth with her hands, looking very annoyed and guilty.

"Don't do this, Tiago!" Elgra came to comfort his partner. "Everyone makes mistakes, don't worry about it!"

This old Real Madrid player has experienced the worst Real Madrid defense in those years. At that time, they had almost no game that would not be criticized. He and Yero were the most fiercely scolded by the ball "fan", but later Yero After leaving, he has become the most missed player of Real Madrid's "fan". What should I say?

"The venue is too slippery, and the movement must be stable!" Elgra reminded.

Tiago Silva nodded, as a newcomer, he really lacked the skills to play in such a slippery environment.

The first goal conceded, coupled with this harsh environment, the players appear to be stiff and conservative in their actions. They are afraid that they will make mistakes, making it difficult for Real Madrid to open the scene, whether it is the attacking combination of Marcelo and Mata on the left. , Or Granero on the right, didn't know much about the threat.

The most threatening one was Beckham ’s long pass. Among them, in the 31st minute, Beckham made a long pass in the backcourt. Villa succeeded in playing the "door" after an offside offside, but was flagged and misjudged. For an offside, Bai Bai missed a great opportunity to equalize the score.

Yang Cheng also realized this problem during the halftime break. In the second half, he replaced the Granero on the right with Xavi Garcia. Xavi Garcia and Della Red formed a double midfielder, Baker. Ham went to the right and took advantage of his cross.

After going to the side, Beckham failed to become the core like the middle, but he was less restricted and defensive on the side, but made his threat even greater.

Ruben de la Reid, a young man with the same experience as David Silva.

In 2000, when David Silva came to Real Madrid with hope and participated in the selection of Real Madrid ’s youth training camp, he was rejected by Real Madrid scouts on the grounds of being too short. Finally he went to Valencia and then went to It was only this season that Yang Cheng was reintroduced into the Bernabeu Stadium, and showed "color".

Yang Cheng even took the example of David Silva. At the meeting of the reform of the Scouting Department, the scouts who scolded the corpse meal were shameless and "shameless" eggs because they did not select Real Madrid for such a high salary. , All day long and do nothing, not worthy of staying at Real Madrid.

At the time, he also said that it was based on Real Madrid's scout level. Even when Messi came, it was useless. Because he came to Barcelona that year, he was also not tall enough, but people in Barcelona knew how to ask him.

For young players, technology and creativity are the first criteria for selection, and the body can be nurtured on an acquired basis.

But no doubt, there are very, very many people who do not understand this.

De La Reed was also born in Mostoles, southwest of Madrid. Later, he was introduced to the youth training system by Real Madrid scouts, but one year later, they were unreasonably thin and felt that he was not suitable for staying on the team. , And sent him back to Mostoles, but after only a few games, they invited Della Red back.

Bosque once said that Della Red can become Spain's most outstanding midfielder and become Spain's Vieira.

Prior to this season, De La Reed's first team appearance was 3 times, but so far this season, he has played 11 times in various events. Although many of them are played off the bench, Yang Cheng played against him. The importance is obvious.

De La Red can also feel the concern of the head coach for himself. For example, after each training session, he will receive an analysis from the coaching staff, which lists the errors that occurred in his training and a series of improvements. Solution, then he can go to the technical team to apply for a video highlight. In addition to his mistakes and outstanding performance, there are some suggestions. Some coaches think he can learn from the highlights of the players.

These are very helpful to De La Reid, especially Yang Cheng keeps telling him that as a midfielder, he should not be too weak, and he must make his style stronger and more aggressive, but Can't give up his strengths when he has the ball.

His footwork is very good, his consciousness is very good, and he has characteristics of overall view, short pass and long pass, especially the straight plug after taking the ball after the "insertion". It is also outstanding, these are the foundation of his foothold on the court.

It can be said that the less than half a year after the arrival of Yang Cheng, the stimulus and progress brought him more than his past.

But more importantly, Yang Cheng gave him and a group of youth camp youths a treatment they hadn't seen before, that is, allowing them to make mistakes and giving them room to display their talents. This is undoubtedly the driving force behind their progress.

The only thing that is more depressing is that every day of the training class, Della Red arrives earlier than anyone. He goes to the laboratory for a routine heart test before he is allowed to train. This is not even known to Della Red. Why, because he and his family have no history of heart disease.

But Yang Cheng insisted that he had no choice!

Therefore, when Harvey Garcia played, Della Red knew that he could be biased to attack, and when Beckham attracted a lot of defensive pressure on the right, a long pass was transferred to the left. When Mata and Marcelo cooperated, Della Red knew the opportunity was coming.

He has been waiting in Castilla for many years, he is already 21 years old, he is very clear, the opportunity is coming, do not seize it, he will regret it!

When Mata and Marcelo had coordinated with each other on the left, he noticed the black "color" figure. After quietly "plugging", they had cooperated many times in Castilla, He knows how to do it.

So Mata suddenly cut in on the left, attracting defensive pressure in the penalty area and the front of the penalty area, and then suddenly passed the ball across.

The ball almost moved horizontally against the line at the front of the penalty area. Both Negredo and Villa were pulling. After Della Red came up and faced the ball, the name looked childish. The kid did not panic, facing the defensive player who rushed out of the penalty area, he did not stop the ball, but directly lifted his right foot, "pumped" a rebound ball.

The opponent's defensive player raised his right foot, trying to prevent Della Red from "shooting" from a distance, but did not expect it to be a rebound ball, the ball passed under his raised right foot and landed on the grass The slippery grass makes the already slippery soccer ball slippery and faster, and when it bounces again, the goalkeeper almost has no time to react.

The ball hit the net, landed on the grass, and splashed with water.

De La Reed turned around excitedly and ran. This boy with short bristles and no cheeks, looking like a childish and sunny boy, rushed out of the court excitedly, slid on his knees on the grass, and his teammate was " The excited man came up from behind and hugged him.

There weren't many people in the stands of the stadium, so it wasn't too fun to celebrate. After a few hastily celebrated, the players were all gone.

De Lared climbed up from the grass and walked forward quickly. When he passed the visiting coach's seat, he came over and hugged Yang Cheng tightly. He kissed him heavily on his cheek and kept on cheering. Smile.

"My grass!" Yang Cheng stretched his hand hard and rubbed his cheek, he felt too "yin" shadow.

The assistants all smiled one by one, not because of Della Redd's behavior. In fact, this is normal, but Yang Cheng's reaction was a little too "exciting", is he clean?

After equalizing the score, Real Madrid can play with more patience, and Dynamo Kiev is still sticking to their defensive counterattack tactics.

As the game time progressed, Real Madrid still failed to find a good way to beat the opponent in this course. In this weather, until the 59th minute, the rain and snow began to stop, which made the stadium wet and slippery. Slightly improved, Real Madrid's best ground coordination advancement can also be given the opportunity to display.

In the 78th minute, Marcelo pushed the ball forward, forming a beautiful match with Mata again on the left. Mata leaned towards the middle to get the ball and then knocked back to the bottom line. Marcelo high-speed "plugged" and picked up the front of the penalty area. .

In the defense of two Dynamo Kiev defenders, Villa stretched out one of his "legs" and thrust the ball into the bottom left corner of the "door", 1: 2!

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 away and completed a five-game winning streak in the UEFA Champions League group stage. With a record of 5 wins and 1 loss and 15 points, they qualified as the group first, while Lyon was 1 at home. ： 1 The Bucharest Star team was forced to tie, and they could only qualify as the second team.

Apart from the Barcelona of Group 1 and Group 2 in the same country, Real Madrid may encounter the second group of Bayern, Eindhoven, Rome, Benfica, Arsenal and Lille, of which Bayern and Arsenal have brought Real Madrid There have been huge injuries, so it is very likely that the duel will be staged again.

After the team returned from Ukraine in triumph, the Spanish domestic media also spoke highly of Real Madrid's reversal. He believed that Yang Cheng's strategy, employment, and command in the game this season are worthy of recognition.

Since the best players in this game are players such as Della Red and Mata, many media have begun to feel that Real Madrid's youth training is recovering.

"Not paying attention to the youth team is one of the biggest mistakes Florentino made when he was in charge of Real Madrid. Real Madrid was the largest talent pool in La Liga during the first ten years of his charge. At its peak, La Liga 22 The teams have Real Madrid youth players, but at the same time, Real Madrid's first team has emerged such outstanding Raul, Guti, Casillas and other outstanding youth stars. "

"At that time, Real Madrid had a reasonable promotion mechanism from the youth team to the first team, to ensure that the best and most outstanding young players can play for the team, but this was later covered up by the superstar policy, Zidane The Gapavan policy is a distortion of youth training. "

Asfredo editor-in-chief Alfredo personally wrote the article and spoke highly of the changes made by Yang Cheng after he came to Real Madrid.

"A lot of people like to say that today is a world where money and interests are rampant. The professionalism of football is getting higher and higher. Real Madrid is one of the richest football clubs in the world. It should be used to attract the most outstanding "The players joined and played the best football. This was the concept of the Galaxy Battleship in the early days, but it was too idealistic."

"Now that Yang Cheng is in charge of Real Madrid, his team building philosophy is obviously in the early stage of the adjustment of the Galaxy Battleship. He pays great attention to loyalty and tradition. This is the most important for any big team. Represents cohesion, and these are largely maintained by the youth team. "

"So, we see that Aveloa has played the main role in the first team, whether it is on the left or the right, he has performed very well, conscientious, satisfactory, Mata, De La Red, Xavi Garcia , Negredo, Granero and other players have frequently obtained opportunities, Real Madrid finally returned to the tradition of attaching importance to young players. "

"I really appreciate what Yang Cheng once said. Sometimes, not every teenager who comes out of the youth training camp is a genius, they can all play the main role in the first team, but this cannot be our insistence on youth. The reason for training, because youth training is any football club, or even the future of football! "

Faced with praise from the Spanish media authority, Yang Cheng responded on his Weibo.

"Starting today, I decided to subscribe to an Aspen newspaper and watch Mr. Alfredo Reranio ’s column every day, which is more valuable and reference to" **** "than those who only know how to brag about patting horses!"

"Like I said when I took office at the beginning of the season, give me three years, I will bring out a real Madrid, I promise!"

As soon as Yang Cheng ’s Weibo was posted, the editor of the Maca newspaper, another Spanish media authority, Eduardo Indah also invited on Weibo, "Maybe you can come to the Maca newspaper to write a column , We are always welcome, Mr. Yang Cheng! "

"Come to Aspen, more valuable!" Alfredo Reranio jokingly invited.

As a result, it later evolved into the two media authority figures in Spain, the younger Eduardo? Indah and the veteran Alfredo? Reranio, and finally even the Atletico "fan", Spanish sports The first person in the media, the most influential host of Radio Sel, Jose? "Monte"? Della Morena also participated in it, and became a "mixed" battle.

This matter immediately became a big conversation for the Spanish people. Everyone felt that the young Caesar was very different from any previous coach of Real Madrid, and it also attracted the attention of the football fans.

But as a head coach, Yang Cheng undoubtedly still has to rely on his performance on the pitch.
