~Date: ~October 18th~

New York Harrison Stadium, the first game of the Championship Challenge, Real Madrid vs. AC Milan.

This is Real Madrid's second warm-up match since arriving in the United States. The opponent is Serie A giant AC Milan, and it is also a duel that has attracted much attention and expectations from American fans. They can all see the group of world champions in Spain, plus superstars such as Ronaldinho and Kaka, appearing with stars such as Ronaldinho, Pato, Ibrahimovic, and Robinho.

But Yang Cheng was obviously not prepared as they wished. In this game, he did not arrange for the Spanish international to play, but instead arranged a substitute lineup in the game. The goalkeeper was Antonio Adan, the defense was Marcelo, Kompani, Pepe and Miguel Torres, the double midfielders were Parejo and Mascherano, the attacking forward was Ronaldo, Kaka and Sarabia, and the single forward was Aguero.

The most popular thing in this game is of course Ibrahimovic, who successfully escaped from Camp Nou this season. This Swedish striker who fell out with Barcelona and attracted worldwide attention, switched from Camp Nou to the Ross and Blacks this summer at an ultra-low price of 12 million euros. This is a very obvious reduction compared to the amazing price set by Barcelona when he introduced him two years ago.

Although he lost a lot of money, there was no way, because Ibrahimovic's salary was so high, and it was a huge pressure to keep it, both for the locker room and the team's salary burden, especially considering that Barcelona has used Guardiola's previous assistant coach Biranova this season.

Biranova cannot be comparable to Guardiola in terms of influence and appeal. If he does not eliminate several hidden dangers in the team such as Ibrahimovic before something goes wrong, and paves the way for Biranova, it is difficult to guarantee that Biranova will not encounter a major riot in the locker room.

Not only Ibrahimovic, Yaya Toure is currently preparing to escape from the Camp Nou. There are many teams interested in the Ivorian beast waist, including Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United. After all, the powerful midfielder in the transfer market is too scarce, and almost one of them is popular.

Before and after Ibrahimovic's transfer, Barcelona introduced Torres from Chelsea, and Chelsea brought Target O from Manchester City. Mourinho completed the exchange he wanted, and at the same time made a big profit, preparing to strengthen the team's midfield and defense. He wanted to create a super strong team that could challenge Real Madrid in the shortest time.

AC Milan can be said to have gained a lot of big advantages. From Ronaldinho to Robinho to Ibrahimovic today, the Ross and Blacks didn't spend much money, but the team's lineup was full of stars, and they were all big names. The key is whether these big names can be combined into a combat power.

In this game against Real Madrid, Ibrahimovic, who had never been able to gain a advantage in front of Yang Cheng, showed his power. In the 23rd minute of the game, he took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to beat Kompani in the penalty area and scored the pass from Ronaldinho into the goal guarded by Antonio Adan.

The Belgian central defender made a big mistake this time and was cowarded by Ibrahimovic.

But in the 39th minute, Real Madrid equalized the score with Ronaldo's goal.

In the second half, both sides made large substitutions, and Castia's young players got the chance to play, but only Kompani, who was on the central defender, continued to be left on the defense line by Yang Cheng, but his performance throughout the game was just average.

However, Mvila, who came on as a substitute, made a wonderful pass from Morata to overtake Real Madrid.

The game ended with Real Madrid's 2-1 reversal of AC Milan, but both teams were obviously affected by the high-intensity summer training camp. Their performance was always average and they did not show convincing strength and combat effectiveness. Especially Real Madrid, both Ronaldo and Kaka, they performed very averagely.

This summer, the South African World Cup players are running back and forth, and there is not enough time to rest. After the World Cup, they will return to the team for training after a short rest. This has created a lot of obstacles for the players both physically and psychologically. It is estimated that it will take some time to recover.

Not to mention players, even Yang Cheng has been busy in the World Cup for so long and has been tense. Now he feels tired and tired, not physically, but mentally. However, he is the head coach and can overcome these problems, but the player's ear performance will inevitably be affected.

This is the so-called World Cup sequelae!

After the warm-up match, Yang Cheng defended Kompani's mistakes during an interview with reporters. He believed that the Belgian performed very well. Although Ibrahimovic made mistakes, there were some impressive scenes. He firmly believed that Kompani could grow quickly and become a reassuring central defender.

This is purely his personal feeling. He doesn't know how Kompany performed at Manchester City later in his previous life. He just felt that Kompany had a nearly perfect central defender and had enough potential, so he was very optimistic about this young player. As for mistakes, it is normal. Almost all central defenders matured in abuse, just fast and slow.

Real Madrid reversed AC Milan 2:1 and successfully reached the final. On the other hand, Chelsea lost to New York Red Bull 0:2, which made Real Madrid face the New York Red Bull in the final.

Yang Cheng felt incredible about this, especially his performance against Chelsea. He felt that he should not be so bad at all, but if he watched this game, it would actually not be difficult to understand.

Mourinho did not arrange for the World Cup internationals to play in this game, but arranged a large number of substitutes. The central defender combination was Alles and Van Anholt, and Mikel played the midfielder with two midfielders from the youth training camp. The Trident formed a lineup of young players from the youth training camp, but Diego Milito and Target O in the second half.

As a result, Chelsea's tragic defense was blown up by New York Red Bull. The person responsible for scoring the goal for New York Red Bull was Henry, who switched to the American Major League from Barcelona this summer. The latter scored twice when facing Chelsea, directly giving the Blues a fatal blow.

When Yang Cheng heard the news, his first reaction was to laugh. He believed that Mourinho must be so depressed that he wanted to cry, but even when he went to the United States, he could not escape Henry's goal.

Real Madrid encountered the New York Red Bulls in the final. In this game, Yang Cheng arranged the starting lineup of the main lineup last season for the first time. The goalkeeper was Casillas. The defense was Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Ramos and Macon, the double midfielders were Xavi Alonso and Delarede, the attacking forward was Ronaldo, Kaka and David Silva, and the single forward was Aguero.

As a result, Aguero scored a hat-trick in this game. Coupled with Kaka's goal, Real Madrid beat New York Red Bull 4-0. However, the Spanish internationals performed very mediocre in this game, and there was no too outstanding scene. Real Madrid won this warm-up game more by relying on the team's stable tactical system.

In a stable tactical system, the impact of the player's sluggish state can be minimized to the lowest level, but the player's outstanding performance can be infinitely amplified.

Yang Cheng also has a stable tactical plan for Real Madrid this season. In addition to improving some advantages and disadvantages, he also needs to further increase the team's ball possession time.

It's not that Real Madrid wants to pursue the same tactical ideas as Barcelona, ​​but the inevitability of tactical skills.

Real Madrid's current ball possession rate is not low, basically reaching 55% to 60%. If you encounter some weak teams, there is no problem with more than 65%, and it can even reach an extreme 70%. Of course, this situation is not too late, and it often means a one-sided victory.

If Barcelona's ball possession rate is based on the basic concept of ball possession, then Real Madrid's ball possession rate is based on creating threats and offenses, so Real Madrid's effective ball possession rate is higher and creates more threats.

Yang Cheng needs to further strengthen the team's running connection and support, and further improve the tacit understanding and passing accuracy between players. He believes that after four years of training and tacit understanding, the players still have a lot of room for improvement in this regard. With Real Madrid's ball control style that has been formed today, once the team's overall pass accuracy is improved, the ball control time is increased. Then the effective ball control rate will be improved, and the number of threat attacks created in a game will also increase.

In other words, Real Madrid's offensive threat, number of shots, and even the number of goals will increase again.

In this World Cup, Spain's tactics are actually very interesting.

The overall ball control of this team is a bit like Barcelona, ​​which ensures ball control time steadily in the middle and backcourts, but once the ball reaches the frontcourt, it will speed up immediately, and speed up through the fast overall propulsion. Iniesta, David Silva and Mata are praised by Bosque as the three most important players in Spanish tactics. Without exception, their role in this team is very significant.

If you study carefully, you will find that the technical details of these three players may be different, but their characteristics are surprisingly similar, outstanding overall situation, superb ball control ability, very delicate foot skills, and extremely fine handling ability of the ball. The frequency of handling the ball is very fast, the ability to run without the ball, support and the ability to pass the ball is not in the morning.

David Silva's role in the Spanish team is similar to that in Real Madrid's tactical framework. Bosque directly transplanted the player's role. Iniesta is slower, but his ability to observe the game and pass creativity is better. Mata has excellent ability to break through the ball with the ball, fast breakthrough speed, and tearing the defense line is more threatening, but his passing creativity is not as good as Iniesta.

Therefore, Bosque usually uses Iniesta and David Silva to both sides. Once the ball reaches their feet, it will immediately become faster, and it is very fast and skillfully shuttles back and forth between the tridents in the frontcourt. Once it encounters a team with tight defense, Mata goes up and displays his excellent ability to hold the ball and break through and pull the edge.

These three players are all top-notch players with different advantages and disadvantages. With forward Villa, they form a front-court attack group that Spain is invincible. In the World Cup, no team can withstand the offensive formation composed of these four players.

The only Switzerland that Spain lost was not counted. Bosque made such a change after the end of that game. Since then, Spain has won the opponent with a very high ball possession rate in every game, but has been efficient and 1:0.

After all, Spain is actually lacking in impact players who directly break the opponent's defense.

However, in Real Madrid, there are many such players, such as Ronaldo and Kaka. Aguero has a strong impact. There are also two sides, Macon and Marcelo. What the Spanish national team cannot do☆Real Madrid can do.

Boske is learning and learning from Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng is also learning and learning from Boske. The world is originally about learning from each other, progressing and developing together.

After playing Adidas' Warm Up Cup, Real Madrid played a warm-up match with Washington United in New York and the major leagues. They also played with half-main and half-substitute lineup. Real Madrid finally won 3-0, ending the entire summer training camp in the United States.

After completing this round of training camp, Yang Cheng gave the team a day off and then prepared to return to Madrid.

He himself took advantage of the holiday and took time to spend time with Natalie Portman and the children.

The north coast of Long Island, New York, has always been the title of the Gold Coast and is also the most famous wealthy district in New York. Almost the wealthy people in New York gather here, from the American presidential family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family, and the famous Morgan family on Wall Street, all gather on Long Island.

This also makes Long Island a place worth every inch of land.

On the west bank of Longquan Harbor in Changdao, there is a large area of ​​luxurious villas with large areas of greening and a luxurious villa in the green mountains and forests. It seems that the home is built in a beautiful park, away from the hustle and bustle.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, fresh air and safe and reliable community, the North Shore School District is also one of the top school districts in the United States. Students from the school here are admitted to prestigious universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and MIT almost every year. They are very famous. Countless people buy houses here for outstanding school districts.

Natalie chose to buy a house here, and for this purpose, she eliminated Alfie's ability to receive a good and high-quality education since she was a child. Because everyone who has seen Alfie said that a boy is like a father, but smart is like a mother. His smart little eyes reveal a sense of intelligence and intelligence.

Yang Cheng bought this house and gave it to Natalie to avoid the entanglement of her and Alfie from the paparazzi.

This is a villa designed by the famous architect Richard. The current estimate is about 50 million US dollars. However, after the outbreak of the US subprime mortgage crisis, a large number of former rich people have now declined. When Yang Cheng bought this house a year ago, he bought it at a low price, and only cost him about 30 million US dollars. It can be said that it is very cost-effective.

Double floor, first floor entrance hall, living room, library, dining room, kitchen, and four bedrooms on the second floor, an oversized study, and a basement, high-end home theater, entertainment room, wine cellar, etc.

The super large garden is adjacent to the west bank of Cold Spring Harbor. There is a clean beach with a perfect greening on the beach. It is a natural oxygen bar with picturesque scenery. A snake-shaped path passes between the lawn and the woods, directly to the beach. Outside the main building, there is a garage that can accommodate 3 cars, and an asphalt road connecting the outside.

There are only two cars in the garage, both of which Yang Cheng gave to her in recent years, namely a Beijie panamera and a BMW x6. The colors are not as bright as Natalie's people. The BMW x6 is parked in the garage, while Beijie is at the intersection because they have just returned from the street.

Natalie was wearing a tight black T-shirt and a short black skirt. Her hair was casually placed behind her head. She wore a diamond necklace given to her by Yang Cheng and a diamond ring on her hand. She seemed to have completed her transformation, which lacked the innocence and youthfulness of a girlish girl, and added a bit of the intellectual charm of a mature woman.

The tight T-shirt sticks to the flesh, highlighting her recovered flat belly and a more proud upper body than before pregnancy. Her figure is better and more charming than before pregnancy.

"I am increasingly dislike going out now. Those paparazzi just hold you all day long and are so annoyed!" Not only is they mature, but they are even full of maturity when speaking and doing things. Only between their eyebrows, especially in their eyes when they look at Yang Cheng, there is still a little dependence and attachment as a girl.

"It's great to live here. I feel relieved that there are nannies and nurses taking care of you. If you feel bored, I will come to Madrid for a while. I miss you very much!" Yang Cheng gently grabbed her hand, stepped on the pebbly path, and walked to the Guanhan Pavilion in the woods. From here, you can see the Cold Spring Harbor in the distance.

Natalie nodded with a smile and looked at her son in the stroller in front of her. Her expression and outline looked very similar to Yang Cheng. "When he is older, I will take him to Madrid for a while." As she spoke, she gently pressed her face to Yang Cheng's palm and looked at her uncle Cheng intently.

"Also, if you are busy, don't call every day. I'm not a three-year-old, so you have to rest more!" Natalie said, "Anyway, that girl Avril is unreliable. You have to pay more attention to your health, especially when eating."

Yang Cheng's diet has not been very regular over the years, especially when there is a competition, which has always made his stomach and intestines not very good.

"You are almost an old lady, you are so verbose, you don't look like that little girl!" Yang Cheng deliberately reached out to pinch her nose.

Natalie sat in Yang Cheng's arms, knocked her head against his shoulders, and looked into the distance, "In front of you, I will always be that little girl."

"Then aren't you going to compete with Alfie for toys?" Yang Cheng laughed.

Natalie looked up and glared at him, "Do you think I'm Avril?"

After saying that, both of them laughed at the same time, and the laughter spread in the woods.
