Once, Ferguson commented that Inzaghi said he was a player born offside.
It means that the Italian striker's outstanding ability to run without the ball.
In recent years, with the growth of Inzaghi, all media reporters and fans often think of Yang Yang as the first thing they think of when they evaluate the off-ball running of active players.
Many people even think that Yang Yang's ability to run without the ball is a magic weapon for him to keep scoring goals.
Yang Yang also has a very deep understanding of this, because he knows that for an offensive player, running without the ball is very important, and can even be said to determine the key to a team's offense.
It is like this opening of the Champions League final.
When the ball was in Valdes' hands and Yang Yang backed away, he was facing the Barcelona goal, not only paying close attention to Valdes ’movement with his eyes, but also observing the surroundings with the God ’s vision of the super training ground Every move.
He was the first to judge that Valdes would throw the ball to find Alves, so he flew towards Alves for the first time.
Yang Yang rushed quickly, and Alves retreated deeper at the time, so Yang Yang was very certain that Alves had only two options, either kicking forward with big feet, but this may lose the ball or return. Goalkeeper Valdes.
To some extent, Yang Yang wanted him to pass back, so he deliberately left his hand.
The Brazilian right-back really chose to return the goalkeeper, because this is the idea of Barcelona football, and will never easily hand over the ball.
When he saw Alves returning the goalkeeper, Yang Yang had just rushed to the corner of the penalty area and immediately changed his direction, killing the penalty area and approaching Valdes. Because of such a return pass, Valdes cannot use his hand. Pick it up.
And as long as you stop the ball with your feet, there will definitely be opportunities.
Ibrahimovic knew Yang Yang's thoughts very well, so he put pressure on two Barcelona central defenders for the first time.
Valdes faced a back pass, and there was a Yang Yang who rushed over. He had little time to think. The first reaction was to pass the ball to the nearest to him. At the same time, it should be regarded as the safest player, Pique. .
As soon as Pique received the ball, Ibrahimovic caught him, which left Barcelona's central defender with no extra time to think about, plus the Swedish center forced him from behind, forcing him to go to his own body. Go in the front direction, which is the right side.
As a result, Pique passed back to Alves on the right almost without thinking, but at this time Alves was still thinking about receiving Valdes, and the position was still relatively backward. Pike passed to him. There was no problem at first, but no one could think of it, Marcelo would suddenly kill him with a diagonal stab.
...
When Yang Yang forced Valdes to pass the ball to Pique, he quickly ran back.
Because he wants to keep himself in an offside position.
This has become his instinct as an offensive player.
No matter how good his position is, no matter how favorable the situation is on the court, but as long as you are offside, everything will be in vain. Even if you score, you will be blown away.
Yang Yang retreated to a position that was behind Alves and prevented himself from offside. At this time Marcelo intercepted the ball midway and quickly grabbed Alves before approaching and passed back In the restricted area.
With his back turned to the offensive direction, Yang Yang was taken aback by the sudden pass. When he reacted, the ball had come to the front. As soon as he stopped, Alves and Pike rushed towards him. Pinch around.
Yang Yang didn't have time to think about it. He suddenly judged that he had no chance to face the goal, so he chose to take a step outside the penalty area, quickly took the ball, and passed it back to Kaka outside.
Brazil stopped the ball in the midfield and Busquets appeared in front of him for the first time.
Kaka took a direct footing. After tricking Busquets to block sideways, Kaka suddenly took the ball to the right and took a pass to the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic physically blocked Puyol.
The captain of Barcelona was blocked by the Swedish center and could not resist at all, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Ibrahimovic was no longer backed up, so that the Swedish center had no chance at all and could only use his head Grab the ball.
It's a bit far from the goal, the chance of heading the goal is not great, and Pique has already forced it over. If Ibrahimovic wants to stop the ball with his head, there is basically no possibility of threat.
However, the Swedish center still suppressed Puyol, and did not give the opponent the opportunity to resist. In the face of the incoming ball, he headered the ball and directly pushed the ball to the left of the penalty spot.
Yang Yang ran out of space here, Pique ran to hit Ibrahimovic, Alves behind was approaching, he just got a chance, but Ibrahimovic's header ferry The top is higher, and his best option is to stop and start again, but it is likely to be blocked by Pique and Alves.
In the face of the fleeting opportunity, Yang Yang flashed suddenly, and the whole person ran to the position. After the left foot was fixed, he saw the ball. The whole person turned around, and his right foot flew into the air. Sideways volley.
At that moment, Yang Yang could clearly feel the feeling that his right foot in the middle of the ball was drawn in the air. It was very stable, exactly the same as he had expected, and the football was as fast as he expected. Fly towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Valdes hurriedly wanted to block the near corner, but missed the far corner, while Yang Yang turned to volley and deliberately hit the far corner.
The ball almost hit Barca's goal without any obstruction.
One to zero!
...
"Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"
"Only three minutes into the opening, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"
"From Yang Yang, a very wonderful turn and volley!"
"My God, this is Real Madrid's second foot shot in this game, Yang Yang made a wonderful volley volley."
"This is a superstar! This is Yang Yang!"
"At a critical moment, Yang Yang is able to seize the opportunities created by his teammates and hit with one hit!"
...
In order to hit this volley volley, Yang Yang fell backwards, almost fell to the ground after playing, but after standing for the first time, he saw the ball entering the net, turned and quickly rushed out of the court, running all the way .
The entire Wembley stadium burst into cheers and exclamations.
The cheers came from Real Madrid fans, while the exclamations came from Barcelona fans.
No one thought that the goal of this game would come so fast, so suddenly.
The game has just started, and even Barcelona has even scored a goal, a decent attack has not been organized, directly scored by Real Madrid.
Yang Yang quickly rushed to the bottom of the stand where Real Madrid fans were, and knelt excitedly, rushing to the camera on the sidelines.
On the big screen of the stadium, all the TVs watching the live broadcast of the game all over the world showed Yang Yang laughing and celebrating the goal, and then he saw his Real Madrid teammates rushed to the ground one by one.
Even Casillas jumped up quickly in front of the goal, patted the crossbar of the goal, and kept shouting.
...
"It was a very, very unexpected goal."
"It is not difficult to see from the slow-motion playback that Yang Yang's position is very smart, and he did not put himself in an offside position. The last volley of this foot was also very beautiful, and at the same time, it was very sudden. The players didn't even have time to react, and Valdes watched football into the net. "
"This is the fighting power that the superstars broke out at the crucial moment. They just can grasp some unremarkable opportunities and turn it into goals."
"The match has just started, Barcelona still have a chance, but they are behind as soon as the opening, which is obviously very unfavorable, and at the same time it is a morale blow. I hope Guardiola and his team can adjust it as soon as possible."
…………
…………
Guardiola stood stunned on the sidelines, his ears were filled with cheers, and the eyes saw the dumb Barcelona players and the Real Madrid players rushing, he was somewhat overwhelmed.
Did you lose the ball?
Barcelona didn't even organize an attacking opportunity, and Real Madrid broke the goal.
Guardiola knew very well that this was Real Madrid's offensive after the opening game and beat Barcelona by surprise.
Whether it is Yang Yang ’s step-by-step pressing, Ibrahimovic ’s suppression of the central defender, or Kaka ’s back plug, these are the offensive routines that Real Madrid intend to arrange before the game, all against Barcelona ’s weakness and insufficient.
But the most critical factor is still Yang Yang.
In the situation just now, the most likely offense was offside, but instead of offside, Yang Yang ran out of opportunities.
This is the gap, and also the embodiment of Yang Yang's strength.
"Three backs, the opening attack, the dead fat man's wishful thinking started." Vilanova said angrily.
Benítez's tactics made Barcelona feel uncomfortable and disgusting, but there was nothing disgraceful, at best it can be said that he was conservative, and now, Yang Yang's goal no doubt further boosted Real Madrid's confidence.
Can Barcelona break Real Madrid's three-back defense system?
In fact, Barcelona have very few chips on hand to change the situation on the field, especially when Real Madrid retreats across the board.
This is why in the past two seasons, in five games, Barcelona did not grab a point and ended in a five-game losing streak. In the final analysis, Barcelona couldn't find a way to break Benitez's defensive position.
Not only Barcelona, looking at European football, no team has really broken through Real Madrid's defense.
For Benitez's tactical style and Real Madrid's defense, Guardiola is very dissatisfied, and even disagrees, because these are contrary to the football ideas he has accepted since childhood, but now he has to Admit that he really can't come up with an effective way to break through the opponent's defense.
Therefore, he can only wait.
Waiting for the flash of the Barcelona players on the court, waiting for Real Madrid players to make mistakes themselves.
This gave the Barcelona coach a feeling of weakness.
Especially Yang Yang's goal is terrible!
