724 play counterfeit ball

On December 19, before the last training session in the afternoon, all Real Madrid players gathered in the conference room, accompanied by the coaching staff, watching the live TV broadcast, the draw ceremony of the Champions League round of 16 knockout matches. (")

Yang Cheng really had a kind of worry, because what he didn't expect was that Chelsea actually finished second in the group to qualify, which was really not something to be happy about.

The eight teams in the group are Roma, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern, Porto and Real Madrid; the eight teams in the group are Chelsea, Pannashinaks, Atletico Madrid, Villarrell, Lyon, Arsenal and Juventus.

According to the draw rules, for Real Madrid, among the second teams in the group who have the chance to meet, if the three teams in the same group and country are deducted, Atletico Madrid, Villarrell and Juventus, which are in the same group, will be Chelsea, Pannashinaks, Sporting Lisbon, Lyon and Arsenal.

From Chelsea's perspective, leaving behind the top team in the same group and the three teams in the same country, the chances of meeting Real Madrid are also very high.

No matter which angle you look at it, Real Madrid is a wonderful hype topic, isn’t it?

Of course, Barcelona is also worried like Real Madrid. After losing the Century Derby, the media in Catalonia began to worry about the Champions League draw again, and they also had the same high chance to meet Chelsea.

Laporta is definitely the person who is least willing to meet strong teams at the beginning, because stopping in the top 16 will be a big loss for Barcelona's fiscal revenue. By then, the club's financial problems will be exposed more clearly.

Yang Cheng was not worried at all. What he said in an interview with the media that the most hope of encountering Chelsea was not a bluff, but because he really wanted to encounter Chelsea. He wanted to use Chelsea to test Real Madrid's lineup and tactics.

But after drawing lots, the results came out soon.

The showdown between the English and the West is the main theme, but it is not Real Madrid, but Barcelona.

Chelsea's encounter with Barcelona is undoubtedly an ideal hype topic, especially after the summer of the CD-ROM, coupled with the signings made by Guardiola after taking over Barcelona and a series of tactical changes, they are similar to those listed by the CD-ROM, which makes everyone look forward to whether Mourinho can kill this team that plagiarizes his tactics.

Real Madrid's opponent is Lyon, which should be considered a good draw, but if Pannashinaks can be drawn, it would be even more perfect. But if you really draw this team, the whole world will probably scold Beckenbauer for taking Real Madrid to Yang Cheng.

As soon as the lottery result came out, Yang Cheng's phone rang quickly.

"Ha, Jose!" Yang Cheng walked out of the conference room and answered the phone with a smile.

"You are so lucky!" Mourinho said with a smile.

"I feel it's a pity that I didn't meet you!" Yang Cheng fought back.

Mourinho looks in a good mood, and he can meet Barcelona in the round of 16 knockout round. He meets his wish. He really thinks that the draw of this schedule is really great. "Thank you for a long time, I deliberately only took the second place in the group, but I didn't even meet you!"

"Haha, that's really hard for you. I lost so badly at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. By the way, did you lose on purpose?" Yang Cheng pretended to believe his words and asked accordingly. (")

Mourinho couldn't help but smiled from ear to ear. The bastard just refused to admit it, "What? Are you going to report me to play counterfeit ball?"

"No, I think, when you plan to lose again in the future, please inform me first. I have to place a bet quickly and earn some extra money!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile.

Both of them knew that the other party was joking, that is, they smiled and then exposed it.

"I will help you kill Barcelona, ​​you owe me a favor!" Mourinho said in the end a little shamelessly.

"Why do I think I'm helping you kill Barcelona?" Yang Cheng asked back, "At the Camp Nou, I have taught you a vivid lesson. If you can't kill Barcelona like this, Jose, go back to your hometown!"

Mourinho on the other side of the phone smiled coldly, "A pistol, held in the hands of an adult, is a deadly weapon, but in the hands of a child, it is just an interesting toy. I will make all the accounts back, and I will make them pay the most painful price!"

Yang Cheng knew that this was the eternal pain in the minds of the Portuguese.

He did not hide his yearning for Camp Nou before. He even longed to coach Barcelona. At one time, he thought he would definitely be able to join Barcelona, ​​but in the end he found that everything was fooled, and this humiliation was definitely not something that the arrogant Portuguese could tolerate.

Barcelona can not choose him from the beginning, but they should not play with him in this way!

"Why do I think you are like a resentful woman who has been abandoned by a man?" Yang Cheng asked with a deliberate smile.

Mourinho on the other side of the phone couldn't help laughing, but cursed: "Go to you!"

"No matter what, I hope we meet again, and I will teach you another lesson!" Yang Cheng smiled confidently.

Yang Cheng felt bad because he was defeated and eliminated by Mourinho's Chelsea for two consecutive seasons, although he knew very well that Mourinho's victory was actually nothing. He just fought against Yang Cheng, and if he hit it correctly, he would win. He led the way in front of Yang Cheng, which were two completely different realms.

But he still can't allow himself to lose like this. He hopes to use Chelsea to prove his progress!

"I'll wait!" Mourinho said proudly.

"I will definitely knock you down!"

As soon as the lottery results came out, some complained and some shouted about luck, and all kinds of expressions were available.

Sometimes Yang Cheng really feels strange. The knockout round is cruel, but if you really have enough strength, then what opponent you draw, is there any difference? If you don’t have that strength, then even if you draw a good draw in this round, what about the next round? What about the next round? Can you laugh to the end?

It's just a matter of time before we lose!

Therefore, he has always been very frank about drawing lots, and he is not even resistant to meeting a strong team.

Perhaps, after winning so many Champions Leagues, the realm is indeed different.

On the third day after the draw, Real Madrid ushered in the last round of the match before the winter break, playing against Valencia at home.

Although many players have been running around in the past week, their training has been well maintained. Yang Cheng replaced Villa with Aguero in this game because Villa's leg injury relapsed during training on the morning of the 19th, which is not serious, but it is better to be safer.

As a result, in the third minute, Real Madrid, who took advantage of their home advantage to launch a blitzkrieg, took advantage of Aguero's shot in the penalty area to break through Valencia's goal first, and David Silva assisted him.

In the 32nd minute, Ronaldo once again used a direct free kick of about 25 meters to win another goal for Real Madrid, 2:0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the 67th minute, Machena fouled Aguero. When fighting for the top, there was an obvious elbow strike. Aguero left the field with blood on the spot. Machena was sent off with a red card, and Kaka hit a penalty kick, 3:0.

Negredo, who replaced Aguero, received a cross from Macon and David Silva on the right in the 74th minute. He headed the ball to the back point, and Ronaldo, who was inserted in the back, scored a quick hit, 4:0.

This is also the final score of the game. Real Madrid defeated the Bat Legion 4-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng denounced Marchena's malicious foul, believing that such a player should be punished the most severely. He also said that Aguero's injury is not yet clear, but he was seriously injured and had a lot of blood.

But in fact, the bleeding was caused by nosebleeds, and it was nothing serious. It was just that Real Madrid was annoyed by Marchena's malicious foul. You don't need to show your elbow, right?

As soon as the game ended, Real Madrid collected all the evidence and submitted it to the Spanish Football Association, demanding severe punishment for Machena. However, because Machena admitted his mistake immediately after the game and was very sincere. In addition, Aguero's injury was not serious, the Spanish Football Association suspended him for two additional games.

Almost at the same time as the Spanish Football Association's punishment results were released by the authoritative French media team newspaper. The best team considered the players who performed the best in the past 2008.

The goalkeepers are Casillas, the defenses are Evra, Thiago Silva, Vidic and Macon, the midfields are Ronaldo, Gerald, Kaka and Messi, and the forwards are Villa and Torres.

There is no big controversy in the goalkeeper's position. Cech's performance has declined after his injury. Reina is not very stable this year. On the contrary, Casillas has always performed very stably in the past two years and is the stabilizing force in Real Madrid's defense line.

Manchester United's left-back Evra has shown world-class strength in the past year, and has completely surpassed Chelsea's Ashley Cole, and is the best left-back in the past year.

In fact, the left-back has always been a loophole for Real Madrid. Whether it is looking at Evra or Ashley Cole, they are all full-backs with assists, and their assists will definitely leave risks. The key is how to use tactics to minimize this risk.

In Yang Cheng's view, instead of spending a lot of money to buy famous stars like Evra, Ashley Cole, it is better to cultivate Marcelo or reuse Aveloa. One is a young boy, which can be regarded as his own youth training, and the other is his own child. No matter how you look at it, it is more appropriate than buying big-name stars.

All teams operating reasonably will not easily consider signing, because introducing a new player means that there will be a lot of conflicts and problems in the team, such as competitive contradictions at the same position, such as the integration of newly introduced players, and the personality of teammates, etc., which is very troublesome.

So on the left back, Yang Cheng firmly trusted Marcelo, Aveloa and Miguel Torres and refused to sign.

Thiago Silva has proved his strength in the past two seasons. Whether it is with Ramos or with Pepe, he can show the level and stability of the top central defender. On the contrary, Ramos and Pepe's partner are quite a problem.

Both of them have their personalities, and in a short period of time, they must be equipped with a stable partner.

Kompani has not played many times this season so far. One is because of injuries, and the other is because of his strength, he cannot compete with his teammates. However, Yang Cheng has tailored a physical strengthening plan for him through the laboratory. During training, everyone can see that Yang Cheng admires Kompani very much.

He has the tall and strong British central defender, excellent physical fitness, but also the flexibility and speed of a small player. If we look at physical fitness alone, Kompany is synonymous with a perfect central defender, better than Thiago Silva, because the Brazilian's height is a weakness, even if the jumping power is good.

Another thing that makes Yang Cheng appreciate Kompani is that he is willing to use his brains to play football, is good at thinking and analysis, has strong reading ability in games, and is very predictive in defense. This has a lot to do with his playing in many positions and playing in the back midfield for a long time, and his skills are also very good.

Although from these aspects, Kompani is a piece of uncensored jade and may not turn into a brilliant gem, and it will take a long time to improve and mature, Yang Cheng just likes to watch the boys shine in his hands, so he often gives Kompani a chance during training and competitions.

I believe that if Kompany's injuries are reduced, he will get more opportunities to play.

It took Macon to completely establish his position as a world-class right-back in half a year. He dare not say that he is the world's number one yet. He can only say that he is the top. In La Liga, his offense is not bad, his defense is more stable, and he wins completely!

There is no suspense in other midfield positions. Kaka performed so well after transformation and was very stable, and deserved a best position. Gerrard led Liverpool to lead the Premier League this season and deserved a best position. There is no big controversy about Ronaldo and Messi, Villa and Torres being selected.

However, among the 11-person best team in Europe, Real Madrid suddenly occupied 6 seats, and the best team was completely monopolized by the Premier League and La Liga, which is indeed a bit controversial. After all, this is equivalent to admitting that the performance of Real Madrid and other superstars surpassed their opponents in other positions.

The team newspaper's explanation is that Real Madrid's tactics have created the outstanding performance of these players. In addition, Real Madrid performed very well in the Champions League and was eliminated by Chelsea throughout 2008. In contrast, other teams are somewhat inferior.

…………

When Real Madrid's official website announced the team's best team, Real Madrid fans were all so excited that they were overwhelmed.

But the best team announced the Christmas gifts from club players.

That is, every Real Madrid player dressed up as Santa Claus, stood in front of the Christmas tree, and said a blessing for Real Madrid's next schedule, for Real Madrid fans, and for everyone in the world.

This is a recent plan proposed by the club. It was filmed by staff, edited into a video, and then placed on the official website for fans to appreciate it. It is regarded as a gift given to all fans by the club. Yang Cheng also qualified in the video. He wished everyone in the world a Merry Christmas.

The club subsequently announced the itinerary and training arrangements for the winter break period.

The team started to enter the Christmas holiday on the 21st and lasted for a week. The team resumed training on the 28th.

This time, in order to better prepare for the second half of the season, Real Madrid rejected invitations from multiple regions and will arrange the training camp in David Silva's hometown, the Canary Islands, where the team will conduct a closed training game, but can bring their families for a week, hoping to welcome the second half of the season in the best condition.

Real Madrid's schedule in January is very close. Although there is a two-week winter break, as soon as the game starts again, there will be frequent one-week doubles. Real Madrid must ensure that the team enters the game from the beginning.

The winter break is a good thing. You can rest, but it will also interrupt the team's game state. This is also a big test for the team's adjustment.

Villarrell was at home on January 4, with the first leg of the Chinese Cup of REE against Real Betis in the first leg of the week, and the away game against Mallorca on January 11, and the second leg of the Cup of REE in the mid-week, and Osasuna at home on January 18. If Real Betis can be eliminated, the mid-week will be in the quarterfinals of the King's Cup of REE again.

Such an intensive schedule is a big test for any team's preparation.

Now Real Madrid has only 4 points in the lead over Barcelona. If it cannot survive this stage well, the lead will likely disappear, which will put Real Madrid in greater pressure on the Champions League.

So Yang Cheng is still the same as he doesn't pay much attention to as a substitute in the King's Cup, and the main lineup focuses on offensive to the league and the Champions League.

Not only Real Madrid is anxious, Barcelona is also very nervous. They recently purchased a batch of fat-testing instruments. It is said that each player has also distributed a diet manual, requiring all players to eat according to the manual.

Everyone knows that on the Christmas tables in European and American countries, almost all of them are high-fat diets. Once players do not have the ability to control themselves, they can easily gain weight quickly in just a few days. Therefore, Barcelona's physical fitness coaches are like monitoring elementary school students, requiring players to eat according to the manual, use instruments to detect fat every day, record on the form, and return to the club before handing in the homework.

For such stars with annual salary of millions, it seems a bit ridiculous to use this method similar to managing primary school students to restrain them, but it can also be seen that Barcelona's current pressure and attention to every game are said to have issued an order to win the Copa del Rey first.

He won nothing for two consecutive seasons, lagging behind Real Madrid in the league and competition in the Champions League is fierce. It is better to win the Copa del Rey first and at least have a trophy to earn it firmly, so as not to be empty-handed by the end of the season.

In contrast to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's player management pays more attention to self-discipline. Yang Cheng said in one sentence: After the winter break, he will look at his performance. Whoever performs better will play. Real Madrid has strong players on the bench. Full competition can ensure that every player is more self-disciplined, because only in this way can they continue to occupy the main position.
