786 The Grandmaster

786 The Grand Master

After every football match, there are always people who are happy and sad.

Of course you are happy to win, and you are disappointed to lose.

For Real Madrid, the 2-0 away defeat to Barcelona continued its winning streak against Barcelona in the past few years. This undoubtedly greatly improved the team's morale, and also allowed Real Madrid to get rid of Barcelona's entanglement and become the leader of La Liga.

What is even more commendable is that Real Madrid completely suppressed Barcelona in this game, in terms of scores, scenes, data, etc. This is a convincing century derby, which is superb, but it is Real Madrid's one-sided offensive battle.

Yang Cheng came to the post-match press conference with the victor's mood.

Hundreds of journalists from all over the world have gathered here. They all raised their cameras and camcorders to Yang Cheng, and the spotlights are flashing frequently, while Yang Cheng is sitting in his seat, waiting for Guardiola's arrival.

Losers have the right to be late, which is a privilege! But this is the Camp Nou in Barcelona, ​​and Guardiola will definitely come!

After being late for about 3 minutes, Guardiola arrived at the press conference hall and greeted Yang Cheng politely. He sat down on the side. He had already had full awareness that this press conference would become Yang Cheng's personal show.

The reporter was the first to ask about the progress of the game. Yang Cheng gave Guardiola enough face, and he said the game was very difficult.

"It's never easy to beat Barcelona, ​​especially when they give their all and we're favored by countless people, and they have a very high-level player and have played a very good game."

"I am a professional head coach, and I definitely don't want the game to become a counterattack, so I told my players not to give Xavi, Iniesta and Messi too much space. They are very dangerous players. We must be fully prepared anytime, anywhere and not make them feel comfortable."

"We did a good job. Xavi and Iniesta did not pass any good goals in the whole game, and Messi did not get any good opportunities, so gradually, their performance was curbed. I don't know whether Guardiola agreed with me, but what I want to say is that we are more focused on the game than our opponents!"

The reporter below was immediately in an uproar when he heard this. Yang Cheng's words obviously had multiple meanings.

"Mr. Guardiola, what do you think?" a reporter asked immediately.

Guardiola smiled bitterly, but was still maintaining his players. "What I can guarantee is that each of us is trying our best to win the game. This is for sure. I don't know what Yang Cheng said about us not being focused enough. I mean. If it was Busquets' red card, I don't think it's necessary."

"Busquets is a very professional player. He never cheats. As a barrier to the team's midfield, his duty is to protect the defense line. So I think his first yellow card is reasonable, and I think the second yellow card should not be too much blamed."

"We are the kind of short pass penetration style, so once we make a pass error in an important area, it causes the ball to change quickly, we will be very passive. Sometimes players may unconsciously make some undesirable moves, such as handball, especially when we face great pressure from Real Madrid. The latest chapter of the temple."

"Of course, I also know that there is no problem with two yellow cards. The referee's penalty in this game is very fair!"

But Yang Cheng, who was sitting beside him, smiled and shook his head, "I think Mr. Guardiola seems to be intentional and not want to mention Marcelo's yellow card in the first half! I guess if he wants to say that he doesn't see clearly, then I will ask him to go back and watch the last replay a hundred times."

This was a bit provocative, and the reporters suddenly became excited.

Originally, Yang Cheng didn't plan to say more. He just said that some Barcelona players were not focused enough on the game. If Guardiola admits, he won't say more, but if you defend Busquets, Yang Cheng would be unhappy.

According to Guardiola, Busquets is a professional player, which means your fake fall is legal?

"Anyone who has watched the game should know that it is not a fake fall, it is a performance, it is acting!" Yang Cheng hated such a thing very much. He did not deny that Barcelona's system was excellent, nor did he deny that Barcelona's many players were indeed very strong, but just for the performance and Guardiola encouraged performance, he would not be able to appreciate Barcelona's football.

"I don't know why Busquets fell, and he covered his face with pain. I asked Marcelo, and he swears in the name of God that he never touched Busquets' face. So, I want to ask, is it Busquets lying? Or is my players lying me?"

Yang Cheng said more and more ruthlessly, and his heart became more and more angry, "I am willing to confront anyone. I absolutely believe in my players. I believe Marcelo will not lie to me. I am willing to use my career prospects as a bet. Who can prove that Marcelo elbows him in the face, I will retire. On the other hand, what about Busquets? Who dares to stand up and prove his innocence?"

All the reporters immediately looked at Guardiola. The Barcelona head coach looked as if he was ashen. He obviously did not expect that Yang Cheng would fight back so fiercely.

"I have never liked to put down the wrong side, but I can't allow my opponent to have such a mentality. I know that someone once expressed his opinion to the media, hoping that his players would learn to play tricks and even perform more clearly. This is no longer what a head coach should do. It is a behavior without professional ethics and even extremely despicable!"

"I'm right to things, I'm not right to people, so I don't want to do personal attacks, but I believe everyone knows it!"

Although Yang Cheng didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that Guardiola had said that once.

Yes, as a head coach, you can tell your players in the locker room that you have to pretend to be more and perform more once a hundred times, but you should not tell the media that the two are completely different concepts.

As a leading figure in today's professional head coach in football, Yang Cheng is fully qualified to criticize this behavior in this way. Even if he hadn't had any concerns, he would ask Guardiola in person, what mentality did you have when you said this? Do you want to prove to the media that you are acting or pretending to fall and you are forced by someone else to foul it?

Don't be fools in the world!

Of course, these reporters who came to attend the press conference were very excited because they did not expect Yang Cheng to get angry in person. Although he did not name him, he could have swollen Guardiola's face.

Sometimes, people should know how to be content.

If you win the ball, you should have the demeanor of a winner. If the loser says a few words, just take it as if he is indifferent. If you get a cheaper shot with fake falls, don't pretend that you are forced, and you have to be shameless and let others say a few words.

That kind of fame and profit requires enough strength!

Finally, Yang Cheng simply didn't hesitate and directly stated that this game had a profound impact on the league pattern.

"Winning this game against Barcelona is a great achievement. We have won many consecutive derby games in a row, and we beat them in this game and become the only leader in La Liga. I am proud of our players' performance. I think that 3 points will win us greater initiative in the championship process."

"If you ask me at this time, if the final outcome of this season's La Liga championship, I will tell you without hesitation that it must be our Real Madrid!"

The incident of Yang Cheng getting angry at the post-match press conference was immediately spread.

Marcelo was moved when he heard what Yang Cheng said at the press conference from the reporter. He repeatedly swears when he was interviewed by reporters that he had never met Busquets.

"I am very grateful to my boss for his trust and love for me. I want to say that I did not disappoint his high expectations!"

"He often tells us that focusing on the game can win, and relying on some side-to-sights will only distract ourselves and will lose the game more easily. So we never forget his teachings. I didn't have elbows, there was no need. I controlled the ball under my feet, so why did I elbow him?"

Real Madrid captain Casillas also expressed his trust in Marcelo in an interview with Marca.

"In the locker room, the boss and we asked him, and he swears that he didn't have elbows. I firmly believe in my teammates. I think the Football Association should punish the football industry severely, which is a shame in the football field!"

This time, even the World Sports News released a comment at the first time, scolding Busquets for his poor performance in this game.

"It was his unnecessary exaggerated performance in the first half that made the referee feel that he was humiliated and provoked. He thought he was very proud and took advantage, but the two yellow cards in the short period of the second half completely overturned his pride. A red card was the lesson he deserved!"

"His duty on the field is to escort Xavi, assist Puyol and Pique in defense, limiting the activity space in Kaka and Real Madrid's middle lane, but he has not completed his mission at all. He may be too obsessed with performance and falling to the ground, and his second yellow card is full of opportunism, but it has backfired."

"Bousquets is the number one sinner in Barcelona's loss in this game. He allowed us to fight one person for a long time for the remaining twenty minutes, and led Real Madrid's second goal, completely pushing Barcelona into the abyss of despair."

This is how the media is. When your performances and fake falls can bring benefits to the team, they praise you and belittle your opponents, but in turn, you will become a scapegoat.

The Daily Sports News, which is close to Barcelona, ​​also gave a high evaluation of Real Madrid's performance, believing that when the two teams are close in strength, Real Madrid has controlled the game with its leading technical and tactical level. They believe that the result of this game will inevitably drive a trend, allowing Yang Cheng to further promote his football philosophy.

However, as a newspaper in the Catalonian region, Daily Sports only gave some accusations on Busquets' red card, but did not mention a word about the fake fall in the first half. After all, they also favored their own people.

Marca also believes that the bad Barcelona suffered the biggest punishment, lost the ball and lost people, while Real Madrid's performance was unprecedentedly good. Barcelona repeatedly lost at the Camp Nou Stadium. Real Madrid used iron-like facts to prove his title of La Liga King, and Yang Cheng also established his position as a master with this game.

In his comments, Ass also highly praised Real Madrid, believing that Real Madrid had a complete victory in this game. Whether in terms of the scene or the score, or even in Barcelona's best ball possession rate, Real Madrid had an absolutely overwhelming victory.

Alfredo, editor-in-chief of Ass, commented in his column that Yang Cheng is a pioneer in the field of tactics in football today and the most innovative head coach in football today.

"This season, Chelsea has changed its past style of playing hard bridges and hard horses. Mourinho admitted that he was influenced by Yang Cheng; Manchester United began to pursue more and more smooth passes and receptions, and Ferguson said that Real Madrid's tactics are the trend; Bayern Munich's Van Gaal also wants to play 4231, and he believes that Yang Cheng has reinterpreted the definition and role of 4231."

"This is a topic all over the world, what is Real Madrid's tactics? How should we defend?"

"But one thing that everyone recognizes is that Real Madrid's football is completely ahead of all the teams in the current football world."

"When I was watching the Century Derby, I had a feeling that Real Madrid's leading advantage was too obvious. He took the lead step by step and seized the initiative step by step. Barcelona can only passively deal with and parry. Real Madrid is better than any team now. Even when they are tied or lost, you can feel his strength."

"Yang Cheng said that people's control over football has reached its limit, which means it is difficult to improve in terms of balls, because a person only has two legs, and no matter how advanced science is, it cannot make you have one more leg, so he has been using another kind of thinking, a higher level of football thinking."

"He said that running without a ball is the basis of future football, I believe, because whether it is from Chemnitz, Kaiserslautern, Inter Milan, Liverpool, or the current Real Madrid, he is interpreting this statement. The strength reflected by Real Madrid is not one aspect, but all-round, including offense and defense."

"Now in the football field, everyone has a consensus that Real Madrid's football represents the future trend, and everyone wants to absorb some essence and nutrients from it. I believe that in the near future, everyone will look at Yang Cheng and his Real Madrid, just like people now look at Sachy and his AC Milan, or Michels and his full attack and defense, with admiration and awe!"

…………

…………

When Real Madrid returned from Barcelona and returned to Madrid and was greeted by countless Real Madrid fans in the city, the Spanish Football Association also made a statement about the red card penalty for last night's game.

Spanish Football Association Chairman Villar said that the Football Association will not impose additional penalties on Busquets.

This statement also made the media close to Real Madrid very dissatisfied, believing that this was a move by Villar to favor Barcelona, ​​or that it was simply helping Barcelona target Real Madrid.

But in fact, it is not difficult to understand, because it is difficult to define whether it is a performance. Not every time it is as obvious as Busquets and is caught. If you really pursue it, it is probably difficult to say. It involves too much and the Football Association does not have enough ability to deal with so many things.

Fake falls are something that all professional players have ever had, so how to define fake falls and performance is a very subjective topic.

However, the Spanish Football Association once again emphasized that no team can question the referee's penalty on the court and challenge the referee's authority. All acts that put pressure on the referee will be subject to the most severe punishment.

Since the Spanish Football Association announced this rule before, Barcelona has been unable to put pressure on the referees anymore, and UEFA has also proposed this rule, which makes it impossible for Barcelona to block the referees at any time like Yang Cheng's previous life.

Therefore, through this regulation, the Spanish Football Association also severely criticized the behavior of many Barcelona players surrounding the fallen Busquets in the century derby, saying that if there is another time, it will be severely punished.

The Real Madrid media still feel unhappy because they think Pique and others should be banned directly, but this is somewhat unrealistic. After all, that is not a big deal, and it is a bit too much for additional bans.

It is not difficult to see from the accusations made by many media of Busquets and criticizing Guardiola for condoning his players after the game. At least the eyes of the masses are sharp, and they all know that this behavior is inconsistent with the future development of football.

After Real Madrid returned to Madrid, Yang Cheng did not let the team disband, but everyone had to stay in Valdebebas to prepare for the afternoon training class, because Real Madrid still had an early game in the middle of the week.

Because of participating in the Club World Cup, Real Madrid's 15th round of home match against Zaragoza must be scheduled in advance until December 2, which is the middle of the week. This is also the Spanish Football Association's accommodation to the Club World Cup, because FIFA requires Real Madrid to play with all their strength, which is the obligation as the Champions League champion.

Of course, there are pretty good bonuses to participate in the game. The only troublesome thing is that the Club World Cup is held in the UAE, and Real Madrid has to travel so far, and it is in the middle of the schedule. This is a big test for Real Madrid players' physical fitness. Although their opponents are all South American teams, their strength will not be too bad.

However, there is also an advantage that after Real Madrid plays the Club World Cup, they can directly start the winter break when they return to Madrid, and they can enter the rest time one day earlier than other teams, which can also be regarded as compensation for players' continuous combat during this period.

Defeating Barcelona made every player from Real Madrid full of confidence and fighting spirit. Although they couldn't take a holiday, they had to continue training, but they had no complaints and still devoted themselves to training vigorously and waited for Zaragoza's arrival.

At least, Yang Cheng's maintenance and trust in Marcelo at the press conference conquered all the players in the team and made them closer to him.
