Red Rebels

507 Beckham’s successor

As early as the year when the Red Rebels were promoted to the Premier League, after winning the league championship with an undefeated record, everyone was very curious about the Red Rebels' tactics. They would study the Red Rebels' 4231 tactics and discuss the Red Rebels' tactics. The necessity and rationality of the Rebels' frontcourt pressing and oppression will also be discussed. The Red Rebels' double midfielder configuration will also be discussed.

As a fan, Xiao Yu once felt that the tactical benefit of 4231 is that the two wingers at the front press forward when attacking, which turns the formation into 433, plus an attacking midfielder behind him. When the full-backs "push forward", the formation can be switched to 2413 or even 1423 in the shortest time, ensuring the Red Rebels' frontcourt offensive power to the maximum extent.

Once it switches to defense, the two wingers retreat and the two defenders return. The Red Rebels have 4 players in the defense and 5 in the midfield, which is more advantageous than the traditional 442 tactic and 4 midfielder tactic. , which is why the Red Rebels are always able to control the situation.

If he were a fan in his previous life, Xiao Yu would have completely and ideally simplified the tactics of the Red Rebels as if they were playing a game, thinking that they were nothing more than wingers cutting forward and retreating and wingers cutting back forward. Withdrawal, very simple.

But in fact, it’s very, very complicated!

Everything on the football field changes rapidly, just like the floating clouds above your head, elusive.

If the tactics of the Red Rebels are very simple, then why is it that 3 years later, there is still no team that can play tactics like the Red Rebels?

If Manchester United lacks an excellent organizational midfielder, what about Chelsea with Deco, Liverpool with Alonso, and Arsenal, which is transforming Rosicky and Nasri? Not to mention Barcelona, ​​which has the two top organizational midfielders Xavi and Iniesta in the past.

Why haven't they thought about it?

The reason is simple. The tactics of the Red Rebels are unique and cannot be copied!

Even if you imitate the personnel configuration of the Red Rebels, find a player with similar technical characteristics to the players in the corresponding position of the Red Rebels for each position, form a starting lineup, and then arrange for them to adopt tactics like the Red Rebels. , it is impossible for them to evolve into Red Rebels.

Just as there cannot be two identical leaves in the world, there cannot be two identical players in this world. Players with identical skills, consciousness and bodies only exist in games and fantasy.

It is precisely because of this that after leaving the Red Rebels, the former Red Rebels core organization Juninho performed well in Real Madrid, but he was unable to transform Real Madrid into the Red Rebels. The reason is simple, he One person cannot change a team at all.

When Keegan talked about the Red Rebels on live TV, he once mentioned his painful experience of coaching Manchester City to a 7-0 defeat by the Red Rebels. He now analyzes his tactics. At that time, he hoped to use offense to suppress the Red Rebels. Rebels, and at the same time he arranged for players to specifically target Beckham of the Red Rebels.

But in the end, he failed, which made him feel sad. But looking back now, he clearly discovered a problem of his, that is, the real strength of the Red Rebels is not in organizing the midfielder.

The importance of organizing the midfielder has long been confirmed with the rise of Xavi, Pirlo, Beckham, Juninho and Xabi Alonso. Beckham has also relied on his ability in With his outstanding performance in the organization's midfielder position, he became a double footballer in one fell swoop and reached his personal peak.

Where is Beckham strong?

His strength lies in his control of rhythm and transfer of long passes.

He has excellent ability to read the game and has first-class insight. He can pass his accurate long diagonal pass when the frontcourt players suppress the opponent's defense. This has almost become a major weapon for the Red Rebels.

In addition, his large-scale running support and his passing and cutting cooperation with his teammates are also the reasons why he is so comfortable in the Red Rebels' tactics. The two complement each other.

Does that mean that as long as Beckham is frozen, the Red Rebels' offense can be disrupted?

Keegan used his own example to prove one thing, no!

"The reason Ferguson failed in this game is that he made the same mistake as I did. He thought that as long as he froze Michael Johnson, or froze the Red Rebels' double midfielders, he could disrupt the Red Rebels. The tactics of the army, but in fact, this is wrong!”

"The Red Rebels' double midfielder configuration, in addition to the organizing midfielder, the other midfielder is not just a traditional defensive midfielder. Most of the time, we are blocked by Essien, De Rossi, and even Mikel's body. I was deceived by their quality and defensive skills. In fact, they also have strong offensive abilities, especially their ability to move forward after getting the ball in the midfield!"

"Remember Manchester United's golden four midfielders?" Keegan asked his partner with a smile.

The game was over, and they were summarizing the strong dialogue between Manchester United and the Red Rebels. Andy Gray, who was in charge of live broadcasting the game, smiled and nodded.

"The golden midfield four composed of Keane, Beckham, Giggs and Scholes is known as the textbook for midfield configuration. This is not without reason. It is also worthy of our deep thought. We can still play in our midfield anytime, anywhere. I can find some shadows among these powerful teams around me, including the Red Rebels!"

"I heard people say that Mourinho admires Manchester United's golden four midfielders very much, but what I want to say is that he promoted the core of Manchester United's golden four midfielders and extended it to the midfield and backfield. "

"From this game, it is not difficult for us to see that when Michael Johnson was frozen, De Rossi next to him frequently moved forward. The Italian midfielder and Essien both had excellent forward moves. *** ability, "inserting" in the back row is a great weapon for them, but we often overlook one thing, that is, when do they always choose to advance?"

"When the frontcourt offense is struggling?" Keegan smiled and shook his head, "No, maybe they will "push in" at this time, but they will support it instead of sticking to the ball. We can look at a set of data, red The Rebels' possession rate in the frontcourt is much lower than Manchester United's, why? They know very well that the possession rate in the frontcourt is almost equal to the turnover rate in the frontcourt."

"Everyone knows that when attacking, when the formation presses forward, there will be a lot of space behind it. Once the frontcourt makes a mistake and the opponent counterattacks, it will be quite fatal. So how do the Red Rebels solve this problem? The organizational midfielder comes into play. As a student, he appears in the midfield and backcourt. He has a wide range of activities and excellent ball control ability. He can easily control the rhythm of the game in the backcourt. Therefore, once the frontcourt cannot produce results, he immediately returns to the backcourt and hands it over. Organize the midfielder and reorganize!”

"After deliberation and adjustment, the Red Rebels will patiently look for loopholes in the enemy. At this time, you can attack the organizational midfielder, but that does not matter to them. Once the other midfielder finds an opportunity, he will He will dribble the ball forward decisively, so De Rossi dribbled the ball 30 meters in the first half and assisted Messi to score a goal."

Before Droysden wanted to buy Mascherano, Mourinho believed that the Argentine was not in his tactical system. The most important point was that Mascherano lacked the skills of De Rossi and Essien. With high ability, high speed and impact, his purely defensive midfielder will hinder the Red Rebels' offense.

"After losing the ball, Ferguson made adjustments and arranged three defensive midfielders behind him, focusing on the Red Rebels' double defensive midfielders. However, Curtis would always penetrate forward in time when De Rossi penetrated forward. The replacement made the Red Rebels' midfield unbreakable. However, Manchester United's several counterattacks failed, and the Red Rebels scored another goal. Where did it come from?" Keegan asked with a smile.

Andy Gray suddenly realized, "Wide wing?!"

"Yes, when the Red Rebels' double defensive midfielders failed to perform the task of changing the rhythm of the game, the two full-backs took on this task. Evra and Maicon successively dribbled the ball forward and moved forward on the wing. *** Dozens of meters, posing a fatal threat to Manchester United. Among them, Kaká’s goal was Evra’s wonderful pass into the penalty area. Drogba headed back and Kaká followed up with the shot from the back row.”

"Mourinho is a great tactician. He has tailored an extremely complex but great tactical system for the Red Rebels. He has transplanted the role of Manchester United's golden four midfielders to the midfield and back areas. On the field, Michael Johnson is equivalent to Roy Keane, De Rossi is equivalent to Scholes, Maicon is similar to Beckham, and Evra is close to Ryan Giggs."

"Perhaps everyone is confused after seeing this, so what is the role of the magic quartet in the frontcourt?"

Keegan smiled and nodded in admiration: "Counterattack on the spot, frontcourt suppression and an extremely sharp offensive combination!"

"There is a saying in tactical theory that when all three lines suppress the opponent, then changing the rhythm at this time, or passing the ball or breaking through, the risk is relatively minimal. The tactics of the Red Rebels explain this well. , and Liverpool is also moving in this direction, but they are using different methods!"

"The Red Rebels defeated Manchester United 2:0. The Red Rebels won a peak match that was as important and tactical as Liverpool's victory over Chelsea. They completely avenged their away defeat and also defeated Manchester United's pursuit. Confidence, continue to defend the league leader's position, and as Beckham's replacement, Michael Johnson seems to have little effect, but in fact he completed the task very well. This man is known as Gerrard and Beckham England's talented midfielder who is a combination of Ham and Ham, used this game to prove that he has the qualifications to be selected for the national team, and he can become Beckham's first man!"

Although Keegan highly praised the tactics of the Red Rebels during the live broadcast, in his column the next day, he still put forward some analysis of the tactics of the Red Rebels. He believed that Werder Bremen coached by Schaff this season The game against the Red Rebels can serve as a very important reference.

"The three lines of the Red Rebels have very strong strength. In addition, the players have frequent tacit understanding of running and cutting. Once the Red Rebels start to move, they will move like a flowing cloud. It is very difficult to stop them, but it is advocating to attack. But Schaff almost imaginatively set up a basketball-tactic zone defense in the midfield."

"It's difficult for one person to attack the Red Rebels, but what about the joint defense in a small area composed of two, three, or even four people? Don't retreat, don't press hard, leave room for you to control The ball, but not allowing you to create a threat, using the zone defense in the area, using the numerical advantage to achieve a balance on the scene, waiting for opportunities, and launching your counterattack."

"The reason why Werder Bremen lost was because Schaff misjudged the situation on the field. In fact, he should have played more resolutely and conservatively. After all, he faced the powerful Red Rebels, but in his heart The offensive blood prevented him from succeeding in the end, but the regional defense he proposed gave people a glimmer of hope for the Red Rebels."

However, Keegan also knows very well that such tactics are very demanding on physical energy, and it also requires the players' tactical execution. If they are not resolute and thorough enough, the Red Rebels will easily seize the opportunity.

For a team like the Red Rebels, just one chance can be fatal!

In addition, as for Michael Johnson, who has become famous with his outstanding performance in this round of games, Keegan believes that this player is young and talented, and he is also a player trained by the Red Rebels youth training system. He can both I saw the tough and tenacious style of the English players, as well as their delicate skills at the feet. Their ability to control the game is also very good. They appear to be very mature and conscientious on the court. They also have the ability to transfer accurate long passes, as well as the ability to transfer the ball afterward. Scoring ability.

"From him, I seem to see the shadows of Gerrard and Beckham. He almost combines the advantages of these two players. He can achieve the same results as Beckham in the future, as long as he develops according to the current situation. Go down."

Keegan's evaluation of Michael Johnson is the same as the coaching staff's evaluation of him. He will become an enhanced version of Beckham or an enhanced version of Gerrard, but Mourinho still hopes that he can go further. .

The same expectations apply to Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish youngster did not get a chance to play against Manchester United. He sat on the bench for the entire 90 minutes and then watched his rival Michael Johnson show his amazing quality, especially in the midfield His strategic planning helped the Red Rebels win the Red Devils Derby.

This made Fabregas feel very uncomfortable. He was very aware of his shortcomings. The coaching staff tried their best to help him and pointed out his problems, but his performance was good and bad. Once he encountered a more open-minded style of play, He performed well against a team that matched his playing style, but once he encountered a team with a more conservative and tenacious style of play, he was suppressed.

When he is good, he is that astonishingly talented star, but when he performs poorly, he is the target of everyone's criticism, thinking that his reputation is too real.

Mourinho once told him that this is the cruelty of professional football. He cannot resist, he can only accept and get used to it!

It has been almost 3 years since he came to Manchester. Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels have fulfilled their previous promises to him and tried their best to cultivate him, but he always feels that it is difficult to integrate into the team.

In the past three years, he has made great progress. When he went back to join the Spanish National Youth Team, he even felt like he stood out from the crowd. He knew that this was the change that the Red Rebels brought to him. He was very grateful, and he also tried every means to repay it. Red Rebel, but sometimes, he always feels helpless.

What's wrong with me?

Fabregas shook his head with a headache!
