Football’s First Defender

The main reason for Real Madrid's excellent performance in the Champions League in recent seasons is actually the excellent stability of the team lineup.

Although the team has always had the outflow and purchase of personnel.

But there have never been large-scale changes.

Every tactical change, one or two players change, will not make the team's overall tactics change too much.

Moreover, the Real Madrid team itself, due to the outstanding strength of its players, its thorough ability to implement tactics, and its ability to adapt to changes on the field, really relies on the all-star lineup to play the most suitable style of play on the field.

Developed to the Zidane era, today's Real Madrid not only retains the rapid defensive and counterattack ability that Real Madrid was good at in the Mourinho era, but also has the understanding of ball control injected into Real Madrid in the Ancelotti era. .

Coupled with Zidane's own tactical understanding and arrangement, Real Madrid's tactical choices in the game are quite autonomous.

This year, in order to defend the title again, Real Madrid faced huge salary pressure and did not let the first-team players flow out. The two players purchased, whether it is Morata or Yang Feng, in Zidane's view, can be very fast. into the team's tactics.

After all, Morata originally left Juventus from Real Madrid, so he still has a certain understanding and familiarity with Real Madrid's tactics in the past few seasons. After some training, it is not too much to integrate into the team's tactical system. Disaster.

As a central defender, Yang Feng's responsibilities on the defensive end don't really depend on the team's defensive tactics.

As long as Yang Feng can display his own defensive strength, that's enough.

For Zidane, even he has thought that if Yang Feng's defensive strength can overwhelm other central defenders, then like in the late Chelsea or Liverpool era, he would directly hand over the defensive command to Yang Feng and let Yang Feng take full responsibility , then Real Madrid's defense is stable enough.

It's just that if you want to help Yang Feng to the top now, you need to see Yang Feng's own performance.

After the team had a few days of recovery training, Zidane specially arranged a training game.

Originally, Zidane wanted to directly play a training match between the players of the first team, but due to the injuries of several players including Ronaldo, they were unable to recover for a long time. The imaginary first team all-star match , but still unable to form.

Zidane could only choose to transfer a few young players from Castilla for this training match.

Zidane needs to see Yang Feng's strength, whether he can put enough defensive pressure on other players now.

And Yang Feng is also eager to try. After all, Real Madrid can only play against Real Madrid in the Champions League, and the number of games is still too small.

Now, as a member of the Real Madrid team, facing the strongest offensive firepower in the entire football world, Yang Feng also wants to see how he can perform.

Due to the physical fitness of the players and the player's game state, this training match is only a small training match of 20 minutes each in the first half and the second half. Lata also has two new aids from Yang Feng.

Zidane also emphasized that the blue team's offense should try to find Morata to see how quickly Morata adapts to the tactics of the regional team.

The White team mainly looked for trouble on Yang Feng's defensive side, to test Yang Feng's defensive strength.

See the real chapter on the field.

Although it was only a training match, everyone's attitude towards the match was very correct.

The first training game after the start of the new season is also an excellent opportunity to leave a good impression on the team coach Zidane.

You must know that, except for some specific positions, the competitive pressure of players in other positions is still very high.

Even at the extreme point, except for Marcelo, Ronaldo, players in other positions, there is no problem with rotation.

Even Bell, Ronaldo, Modric or Kroos all have the possibility of being rotated.

Today's Real Madrid lineup is so rich.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the symbol of the Real Madrid football team and is still the strongest offensive point of Real Madrid. Marcelo is because of the lack of substitute strength, and his own offensive ability is too strong. Although he is a left back, But Marcelo's help to Real Madrid's left attack far exceeds that of a world-class left midfielder.

Ronaldo is the end point of Real Madrid in front of the goal, and Marcelo is the engine of Real Madrid's left attack.

Other players are replaced by players with similar styles. This is why Zidane forcibly retains all players, leaving enough personnel for himself, implementing rotation tactics, ensuring the players' game status, and controlling their fatigue. Don't let the team have injury factors.

But even if rotation tactics are implemented, everyone is a capable player, and which player doesn't want to wear the Real Madrid jersey and play more time in the game.

Everyone wants to be a red flower, not a green leaf, and the decision is in the hands of Zidane, which also makes everyone understand that when the competition becomes more intense, they can only rely on a better training attitude, and Use your strength to gain Zidane's approval and get a chance to play.

Everyone is eager to try, even if it is a warm-up match within the team, but this kind of training match can better allow players to show their comprehensive abilities in the matchup.

However, in the 40-minute training match, the most outstanding performance was Yang Feng.

Yang Feng performed quite well in the face of the opponent's offensive line composed of Bell, Benzema, Isco, Modric, Kroos and Ronaldo.

Whether it was Bell's counterattack threat or Isco's breakthrough ability, Yang Feng used his excellent personal defensive judgment to completely strangle him during the game.

You know, in the middle and backcourt, there are two players, Modric and Kroos, who are playing counterattack, but Bell is stared at by Yang Feng. In the summit contest with Yang Feng, he was completely restrained by Yang Feng and could not complete the summit contest.

In the game, Bell didn't have much room to play on the offensive end. Yang Feng's choice of defensive positions made it impossible for Bell to show his own characteristics.

And Yang Feng's team has "Fat Tiger" Casemiro's excellent interception ability in front, which also caused a lot of interference to the opponent's breakthrough.

In the battle of masters, sometimes what needs to be seen is the outcome of one move.

But it seems that Isco can defeat Casemiro's defense in this trick, but he has no spare power to make changes immediately at the first time.

And Yang Feng can always appear suddenly when Isco wants to adjust, and play his defensive role to destroy Isco's offense.

Throughout the game, Yang Feng used his active running and excellent defensive reading ability to completely understand the opponent's offensive routines and constantly put pressure on the opponent.

In the end, relying on Yang Feng's performance in the back line, Yang Feng's team beat the opponent 1-0. At least Yang Feng's defensive ability was shown to be forbidden.
