Chapter 1311 Yang Yang's Countermeasure

Paris Saint-Germain is a rival, this is an undeniable fact!

Many people complain that this team is an upstart, but anyone who underestimates this team is irrational.

Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lavezzi, Lucas Moura, Pastore, Matuidi, Verratti, Thiago Motta, Thiago Silva, David Luiz…

Not to mention anything else, just put out this star lineup, and look at the entire European football world, it can be called the most luxurious and top-notch.

More importantly, Paris Saint-Germain's team formation strategy has always been more pragmatic. Although it also pursues the superstar effect, it pays attention to balance. Whether it is an offensive player or a defensive player, they are willing to spend money. They will not only introduce frontcourt superstars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but also top defenders like Thiago Silva and David Luiz.

In midfield, Verratti, Matuidi, Thiago Motta and Pastore are also outstanding.

This makes the entire Paris Saint-Germain lineup very complete. There are stars in the three lines. At least from the lineup, there are really not many flaws. It is really difficult to find points to target from them.

With its strong financial resources and excellent lineup, Paris Saint-Germain has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons.

Maybe many people don't realize how difficult it is to achieve this. That's because people generally set their sights too high, and pay more attention to giant teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

That is to say, in the past three years, there are not many teams that have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. There are only four teams. Apart from Paris Saint-Germain, the remaining three are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

In other words, this team has been stable enough to keep pace with the three strongest giants teams in recent years, and has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years, which proves the stability of this team in terms of performance.

From [-] to [-], Paris Saint-Germain faced Porto and Dynamo Kiev in the group stage. As a result, they won [-] wins and [-] loss in the group stage, and advanced without any risk. They eliminated Valencia in the round of [-], and finally drew with Barcelona at home and away in the quarterfinals. Finally, they lost to Barcelona on away goals and were eliminated.

In the following season, Paris Saint-Germain encountered teams such as Benfica and Anderlecht. They had four wins, one draw and one loss in the group stage, and only lost in the last round.

Last season was even more tragic. They encountered Barcelona and Ajax in the group stage and achieved four wins, one draw and one loss. Except for the [-]-[-] loss to Barcelona at the Nou Camp, Paris Saint-Germain performed well and even defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] at home.

In the subsequent knockout rounds of the top [-], both home and away games were [-]-[-]. In the end, they defeated the Premier League champion Chelsea under the coach of Mourinho in a penalty shoot-out. In the end, they were beaten [-]-[-] by Barcelona in the two rounds of the quarter-finals.

From the results of the past three seasons, it is not difficult to see that Paris Saint-Germain is currently at the top eight level of the UEFA Champions League, and the team's performance is very stable. Even if they encounter strong European teams like Barcelona and Chelsea, their strengths are also equal, and neither of them has much chance of winning.

A strong lineup, stable strength, neat three lines and no obvious flaws, such a team is not easy to play.

……

Zidane and the coaching staff have been studying Paris Saint-Germain during the national team matchday.

But in the end they came to the conclusion that there was no way. This team had no obvious flaws and loopholes, and could only rely on the head coach's targeted tactics and the players' on-site performance to defeat the enemy.

In other words, Paris Saint-Germain should be treated with the standards of top European teams.

Zidane also felt very helpless about this, looked at Yang Yang for help, and asked, "What can I do?"

On the desk in front of Yang Yang, there are a lot of materials and analysis reports. It can be seen that the coaching staff has really racked their brains in the past week, studying Paris Saint-Germain, but they can't do anything about it. How can Yang Yang do it at this moment?

"I took a look, and there really isn't any good solution." Yang Yang shrugged helplessly.

Zidane and others were also disappointed for a while. They were really looking forward to Yang Yang's creative ideas before, but now they are disappointed, but they can also understand that after all, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup is formed by countless money and the wisdom of professionals.

To some extent, this lineup really has no obvious flaws.

"I think, since we can't find the opponent's obvious weakness, then we should stop thinking about it."

Zidane frowned, "You mean..."

"After all, it's an away game. We should first arrange a targeted defense, restrain the opponent's attack, maintain patience, and then slowly look for opportunities in the game." Yang Yang suggested.

To put it simply, Yang Yang’s tactical thinking is, since I haven’t been able to see your loopholes, then I’ll get up first, make sure I won’t lose the ball easily, be invincible, and then wait patiently for you to make mistakes.

"You know, Paris Saint-Germain's offense is also quite troublesome. In terms of centers, Ibrahimovic and Cavani are the top centers in the world, especially Ibrahimovic. I know him too well. His strength is definitely the strongest center in the world. On the wing, they also have Lucas and Lavezzi. The midfielder also has Motta and Verratti."

When Yang Yang said this, he paused and sighed, "Even if we just want to contain their attack, it is not an easy task, especially since we still have a lot of injuries."

Compared with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain has another obvious advantage, that is, their strength in Ligue [-] is too great. This is the same as Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but Real Madrid is different. The competitive pressure of La Liga is very high, second only to the Premier League.

Pragmatic and stable, this is Yang Yang's countermeasure.

…………

…………

Every national team match day is a frightening experience for a team like Real Madrid.

Fortunately, this time there were no injuries.

But even so, the Real Madrid coaching staff still dare not be careless.

When the international players returned from the national team one after another, Zidane officially announced that all players who played two national team games will miss the weekend league, and all players who return to South America to participate in the national team games will also be absent.

The purpose of this is very clear, which is to give the players time to rest and recover, and at the same time make rotation adjustments for the Champions League away game against Paris Saint-Germain in the middle of next week.

But in this way, Real Madrid's available manpower has become even tighter.

Both Carvajal and Ramos are unable to play. Fortunately, Danilo can come back. He has not had a national team mission in the past two weeks. This game can happen to replace Carvajal.

Modric and David Silva are also absent, Mascherano is also unable to play, but Casemiro, who has no national team mission, can start, and neither Suarez nor Di Maria can play.

The substantial rotation allowed Real Madrid to play most of their home games against Levante on the weekend with a rotation lineup.

……

Before the start of the game, Yang Yang once again showed off the European Golden Boot he had just won at the Bernabeu.

I don’t know how many times he has won the European Golden Boot. Anyway, even the Bernabéu fans are a little numb. They are used to Yang Yang showing multiple important awards every year.

But this kind of numbness and habit will not make them despise these awards, because they are very clear that apart from Yang Yang, there is no one else in European football who can win so many awards and bring them so many honors like him.

In the game, Real Madrid tried to control the situation from the beginning, but Levante turned away, tried to play a wave of rushing at the Bernabeu Stadium, and made the first shot just 5 minutes into the game, but it was not on target.

After that, Real Madrid launched a counterattack and gradually controlled the scene.

No. In the 207th minute, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and sent a through ball. Yang Yang crossed the left side of the goal.

After the goal, Jesse was so excited that he jumped on Yang Yang's body, celebrating with forgetfulness.

He is very aware of his situation in the team and what happened to him after the serious injury. Yang Yang still wants to help him as always, but he can't go back to many things, and he has gradually begun to accept it.

But even so, he still hopes to work harder and try his best to keep himself at the Bernabeu. Even if he really wants to leave one day in the future, he doesn't want to take any regrets with him.

Just 3 minutes before Jesse scored, Toni Kroos dribbled the ball forward and made a diagonal pass from the right rib to the top of the penalty area. After Yang Yang stopped the ball and dunked the defender, he shot directly with his right foot without thinking.

The ball crashed into the lower right corner of the goal, two to zero!

Two minutes into No.80, Isco sent a direct pass. Yang Yang dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area. After a forced breakthrough, he passed to the back point.

After scoring three goals in a row, Real Madrid basically controlled the situation, but before the end of the first half, Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area to make an emergency stop and smash the ball. When he tried to get rid of the defender, he was kicked in the thigh by Levante defender Simao. He fell over on his side and hugged his thigh in pain.

This sudden turn of events also made Real Madrid terrified. If Yang Yang was injured, what would Real Madrid use to smash Paris Saint-Germain?

So during the half-time break, Zidane made a decisive decision and replaced Yang Yang with the young player Marcos Llorente, and adopted Jesse's single striker tactics in the frontcourt.

But throughout the second half, Real Madrid failed to break Levante's goal again.

Three to zero, the home team defeated Levante with Jesse's brace and Yang Yang's one pass and one shot.
