It is an undeniable fact that Paris Saint-Germain is a strong rival!

Many people complain that this team is a nouveau riche, but anyone who underestimates this team is irrational.

Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Ravic, Lucasmora, Pastore, Matuidi, Verati, Thiagomota, Thiago Silva, David Luis...

Not to mention anything else, just this star lineup is the most luxurious and top-notch looking at the entire European football world.

More importantly, Paris Saint-Germain's teaming strategy has always been relatively pragmatic. Although it pursues the superstar effect, it pays great attention to balance. Whether it is an offensive player or a defensive player, they are willing to invest a lot of money. They will not only introduce frontcourt superstars like Ibrahimovic, but also recruit top defenders like Thiago Silva and David Luis.

In the midfield, Verati, Matuidi, Thiagomota and Pastore are also outstanding.

This makes the entire Paris Saint-Germain lineup very complete, with stars in the three lines in charge. At least from the lineup, there are really no flaws, making it really difficult to find points that can be targeted from them.

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

Perhaps many people don’t realize how difficult it is to do this, because people generally look too high and only pay more attention to giant teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

So, in the past three years, there have been few teams that have reached the Champions League quarterfinals for three consecutive seasons, 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 go hand in hand with the three strongest teams in recent years, and has reached the Champions League quarterfinals for three consecutive years, proving the stability of this team in terms of performance.

In the season 12 to 13, Paris Saint-Germain encountered teams such as Porto and Dynamo Kiev in the group stage. As a result, five wins and one loss in the group stage, they advanced without any danger. Valencia was eliminated again in the quarterfinals, and finally drew with Barcelona at home and away in the quarterfinals, and finally lost to Barcelona with a away goal, which was eliminated.

In the following season, Paris Saint-Germain encountered teams such as Benfica and Anderlecht. They won four wins, one draw and one loss in the group stage, and lost in the last round, and they still advanced steadily. After that, they defeated Leverkusen four-0 away in the quarterfinals, defeated the pharmaceutical factory two-to-one at home, and easily advanced. They were 3-1 at home in the quarterfinals and 0-2 away, and still lost to Chelsea with a goal difference.

Last season was even more tragic. He encountered Barcelona and Ajax in the group stage, achieving a record of four wins, one draw and one loss. Except for Camp Nou losing to Barcelona one-to-three, Paris Saint-Germain performed well, and even defeated Barcelona three-to-two at home.

In the quarterfinals, the knockout rounds were 1-1 at home and away, and finally defeated the Premier League champion Chelsea under Mourinho's coaching, and finally suffered a 1-5 victory in the quarterfinals.

It is not difficult to see from the results of the past three seasons that Paris Saint-Germain is currently at the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and this team has performed very stably. Even if it meets European strong teams like Barcelona and Chelsea, they are equally strong, and neither of them has much chance of winning.

The lineup is strong, the strength is stable, and the three lines are neat and there are no obvious flaws. Such a team is difficult to play.

...

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

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

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

Zidane felt helpless about this, so he looked at Yang Yang with help and asked, "What's the solution?"

There were a lot of materials and analysis reports on the desk in front of Yang Yang. It can be seen that the coaching staff has indeed tried their best to study Paris Saint-Germain in the past week, but they had no choice. How could Yang Yang have a solution for this moment?

"I looked at it, and there was really no good idea." Yang Yang shrugged helplessly.

Zidane and others were also disappointed. They were really looking forward to Yang Yang giving out some creative ideas, but now they are disappointed, but they can understand that after all, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup was 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 obvious weakness of our opponents, then we should just stop thinking about this."

Zidane frowned, "You mean..."

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

To put it simply, Yang Yang's tactical thinking is that since I haven't seen your loophole, I will get up first, make sure that I don't lose the ball easily, be invincible, and then patiently wait for you to make mistakes.

"You know, Paris Saint-Germain's offense is also quite troublesome. In terms of centers, Ibrahimovic and Cavani are both 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 good players on the wings such as Lucas and Ravic, and Mota and Verati in the midfield."

When Yang Yang said this, he paused and sighed, "Even if he just wanted to curb their attack, it was not easy, especially since we still had a lot of injuries."

Paris Saint-Germain has another obvious advantage over Real Madrid, that is, their strength in Ligue 1 is too great, which is the same as Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but Real Madrid is different. La Liga has a very high competitive pressure, second only to the Premier League.

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

…………

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

Fortunately, no more injuries occurred this time.

But even so, Real Madrid coaching staff dare not be careless at all.

When the internationals returned from the national team one after another, Zidane officially announced that all players who played the entire two national team games would be absent from the league on the weekend, and all players who returned to South America to participate in the national team games would be absent.

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

But in this way, the available manpower of Real Madrid becomes even more scarce.

Neither Carvajal nor Ramos can play. Fortunately, Danilo can come back. He has not had a national team task in the past two weeks. This game is just right to replace Carvajal.

Modric and David Silva are also absent, Mascherano cannot play either. Instead, Casemiro, who has no national team mission, can, and neither Suarez nor Di Maria can play.

The large rotation allowed Real Madrid to play at home against Levante on weekends, mostly in rotation.

...

Before the competition began, Yang Yang once again showed off his newly won European Golden Boot Award at the Bernabeu.

This is no longer known how many times he won the European Golden Boot Award. Anyway, even the fans of the Bernabeu are a little numb. They are used to Yang Yang showing multiple important awards every year.

But this numbness and habit will not make them underestimate these awards, because they all know that except Yang Yang, no one in the European football world can win so many awards like him and bring them so many honors.

In the game, Real Madrid tried to control the situation from the beginning, but Levante turned away and tried to make a snatch at the Bernabeu Stadium, and made its first shot in just five minutes of the game, but failed to shoot directly to the goal.

After that, Real Madrid began to launch a counterattack and gradually controlled the scene.

In the 27th minute, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and made a straight pass. Yang Yang inserted the ball into the left side of the goal. After receiving the ball, he dribbled past the defender and passed it to the goal. Hesse followed up and directly pushed the ball to score, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

After scoring the goal, Hesse was so excited that he jumped onto Yang Yang and celebrated with great utmost importance.

He knew his situation in the team and his experience after he was seriously injured. Yang Yang still wanted to help him as usual, but he couldn't go back many things, but he gradually began to accept them.

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

Just three minutes after Hesse scored the goal, Tony Kroos dribbled forward and passed the ball diagonally to the top of the penalty area. After Yang Yang stopped the ball and dunked the defender, he shot with his right foot without thinking.

The ball crawled into the lower right corner of the goal, 2 to zero!

In the 82nd minute, Isco sent a straight pass, Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area, forced a breakthrough and passed to the back point. Vasquez made a comeback. After a step slower, Hesse, who was inserted, drifted past the backhand player near the penalty spot, shot and scored twice, three to zero!

After three consecutive goals, Real Madrid basically controlled the situation, but before the first half was about to end, Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area and spiked the ball. When he tried to get rid of the defensive player, he was kicked by Levante defender Ximang in the thigh, and he turned to the ground and hugged his thigh in pain.

This sudden change also made Real Madrid frightened. If Yang Yang was injured, what would Real Madrid do to fight Paris Saint-Germain?

So during the halftime break, Zidane made a quick decision and replaced Yang Yang with youth team player Marcos Llorente, and adopted Hesse's single forward tactic in the frontcourt.

But in the entire second half, Real Madrid ultimately failed to break through Levante's goal again.

Three to zero, the home team defeated Levante with Hesse's second goal and Yang Yang's pass and shot.
Chapter completed!
