Super Coach

After Messi and Iniesta joined Real Madrid, speculations about Real Madrid's new season tactics and starting lineup have been frequently reported in the newspapers. Countless experts, journalists and fans have expressed their opinions and expressed their own possibilities. The starting lineup and starting tactics appear.

Without exception, 95% of people felt that Yang Cheng could not change Real Madrid's starting tactics.

The reason is simple, run in!

In the past five years, Real Madrid has been invincible in La Liga, and it is also invincible in the European arena. It can be said that it is the most powerful team in football today. If there is no one, if it is rashly adopted a new The tactics are likely to lead to the overall collapse of the team, after all, such a precedent is not without.

The 99-year-old Manchester United is unmatched and invincible, but Ferguson wants to change the team ’s tactics, so that Manchester United can cater to the European continental football style. From Kaiserslautern, Belon was introduced at a high price. What was the result? Manchester United suffered a downturn next. Although relying on the previous strength, there are still some actions in the Premier League, but in the Champions League, they were immediately caught up by other teams.

Usually, as the head coach of a club, they often set up a tactical system first, and then use this tactical system to recruit, determine the overall situation, and after the situation is fixed, then adjust the team ’s technical characteristics appropriately according to the player ’s technical characteristics. Tactical details, to achieve the purpose of improving the entire tactical system.

Then, during the season, the head coach often only needs to adjust the team ’s tactics according to the opponent ’s strengths and weaknesses. For example, if the opponent ’s left defense is a loophole, then attack the opponent ’s right; if the opponent ’s back is flawed, then Just actively play the middle, and so on, these are changes on the spot, but they will not hurt the bones.

Last season's Champions League final against Chelsea, Yang Cheng's move on the spot was extremely risky. Winning the game finally made him shock the entire football world once again. Everyone had to admire him because there are not many people who can do this in football today. He is one of the most successful.

From this game, it is actually not difficult to see that Yang Cheng has never been a kind of conservative head coach. He likes to take risks and likes to try. Although he can no longer break through the core tactical ideas he has established, but He dared to try boldly on specific tactical details and formations. Even try something that others dare not try.

The three-back was a very common tactical formation in the 1990s, but it has gradually been brutally eliminated by the football world, because with all teams generally having only one forward, the three-back is very embarrassed.

Perhaps many people will be strange, nonsense, one of the three, how embarrassed?

See all things in this way. Each team deducted the goalkeeper, there were 10 players on the court, and 1 striker on the opponent. There are 9 players in the midfield and backcourt, 3 defenders in the midfield, and 7 players in the midfield and frontcourt. This undoubtedly creates a disadvantage in the number of people in the local area.

Maybe someone will say it again, won't the third guard run?

Running, it is easy to pull the team's formation and position, it is easy to create loopholes, and when running, the opponent is also running, the attacker is in the active position. If you don't run, there will be excess in Qian's back line, but there is a lack of people in the midfield.

Of course, this is only one aspect, if there is a specific analysis, there will be more. But the indisputable fact is that the three guards have fallen and are no longer popular.

But is the three guards really useless?

Yang Cheng feels no, at least he suddenly found a lot of benefits in the final against Chelsea in the Champions League.

The first is that the three-back is more interesting than the four-back, because he has more changes, and the three-back system has more space than the four-back, and the ability to move parallel in the back line area is stronger, which is not available in the four-back. Advantage.

Of course, there is definitely a huge deficiency in the defense of the three-backs on the wing, so in the past, teams using three-backs usually arranged the kind of defenders or forwards who can attack and defend well on both sides. Play a sidewalk to make up for this defect to the greatest extent.

But this is too demanding on the full-back and the full-back. If you want to play a wing on your own, you can not only require players to have excellent physical fitness and tactical execution, but also have to have outstanding speed. All The lack of speed of the full-backs in the 3-back system is very collapsed, often up and down, and then beaten by the other side.

The most popular offensive tactics in football today is the wingers. They all suppress the opponent ’s attack by shrinking the formation. Once they get the ball, they immediately form a counterattack. They efficiently use the width of the two sideways to obtain space from the opponent ’s flanks. Through the winger to complete the breakthrough or inward attack.

This tactic is a huge challenge for the full-back, and when facing the three-back system, it is undoubtedly more fool-proof, so when the winger rises, it is also the decline of the three-back era.

Yang Cheng himself used the three-back for many years. He was also hailed as the pioneer of the winger era. He denounced Denilson to the throne of world football, and then cultivated Ronaldinho, Robben, and Li. Bailey's super wing can be said that his accomplishments in this area are not lost to anyone.

Over the past ten years, Yang Cheng has accumulated rich coaching experience. He also understands the truth that there is no best tactical formation in this world, only the most suitable tactical formation.

In other words, whether it is a four-back, three-back, or even a five-back, it does not matter, the key is to be suitable!

Actively use the width in the offensive, actively intervene in the midfield and backfield to participate in the deep offensive, keep the formation tight, guard against the opponent's counterattack, oppress the opponent, and maintain physical strength. This can be said to be the most basic four items summarized by Yang Cheng, which is most in line with the current football The basic points of tactics are all secondary.

In other words, on the premise of running without the ball, and on the basis of having such a strong lineup of Real Madrid, it is not important to adopt any tactical formation, because as long as Real Madrid can form a smooth offensive routine and advance, any The opponents can not get a slight discount from Real Madrid.

Make full use of the width of the court during offense, Yang Cheng will arrange two wingers in front, assisting a forward, that is Cristiano? Ronaldo and Messi separated on the left and right sides, Aguero occupied the midfielder forward position.

Messi's characteristic is that he almost doesn't lose the ball after taking the ball. His ball control and passing ability are both outstanding, so Yang Cheng arranged his position behind and properly cut into the middle. At the same time, it also freed up space for Kaka to cut to the bottom line, and the two formed an orderly cooperation.

Kaka's position is the front waist, on his left and right sides, David Silva and Iniesta.

Two players, David Silva and Iniesta at first glance. It seems that the characteristics are very similar, but in fact, their roles can even be said to be completely different.

Yang Cheng called David Silva a lubricant and a booster, which actually proved the characteristics of David Silva.

To be a lubricant, he must have excellent space filling ability. When his teammates pull out the space, he knows how to occupy the space at the first time. His ability in this regard is outstanding, and after filling the space, his ability to catch and stop the ball is also outstanding, coupled with his excellent off-ball running strategy, making his tactical role in Real Madrid very obvious.

The most amazing thing about Iniesta is his combination of man and ball, he has a very good overall view, organization and the ability to pass the final pass, which is very similar to David Silva, but he and David? Silva is different. His speed is not fast, but the ball is very good combination, often able to take the ball out of the extremely narrow gap. Create opportunities for teammates.

If you carefully analyze the Barcelona game, it is not difficult to find an interesting phenomenon, that is, the use of Barcelona's tactics to Iniesta, often let him break the ball forward in the middle, and then play deep.

In many games, Barcelona has been tightly oppressed and marked by their opponents, and even Messi cannot form an effective breakthrough and create opportunities in the front. However, when the focus of the tactics shifts to Iniesta, the latter position is more West is even further back, and he will bring the ball forward. As long as there is a player in front of the cover, it is often able to beat the opponent by surprise.

Even more rare is that Iniesta's pace, rhythm, technique and sense of ball are excellent, which allows him to find gaps in the densest defense, and then bring the ball out of the dense defense and give it to his teammates. Create opportunities.

From this point of view. The characteristics of Iniesta and David Silva are different, but the two people form a midfield and can completely complement each other, especially when the second attack is inserted in the back, the role will be very obvious.

However, both players have a very obvious flaw, that is, they both need teammates!

Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, and even Ronaldinho, they belong to the kind of players who can support a team by themselves, they can become the soul of this team, and now Ronaldinho, Kaka and Messi are all players of this type, but neither David Silva nor Iniesta are.

If you throw the player into a weak team, Messi may not be as good as he is now, but he will also perform very well. Ronaldinho and Kaka are also the same. They can both become the core characters of the weak team. David Silva and Iniesta threw the weak team, and maybe they would wither.

This is not to say that they are terrible and their strength is not good. On the contrary, they are all very good, but they have been trained under the current youth training system in Spain since childhood, forming their style of playing football, plus physical The weaknesses of them make it impossible for them to face the opponent's strong oppression defense alone.

It is also for this reason that Yang Cheng arranged David Silva and Iniesta on both sides of Kaka, while Xavi Alonso fell behind them and hit the back, responsible for organizing and Protection line of defense.

The three guards are Tiago? Silva, Della Red and Ramos, which is also Yang Cheng's attempt.

In his view, the most feared defense system of the three-back is undoubtedly the opponent's wing counterattack. With Real Madrid's current set of squads and tactics, undoubtedly the most lacking is the wing attack, but he can maximize The back line was pressed to an astonishing point.

For example, against Chelsea, Real Madrid can press the front of the back line to the Chelsea's 32m area, and then press the opponent completely in the half. The Real Madrid players are not weak in handling the ball in the narrow gap, Ronaldinho and Kaka Slightly worse, but both players belong to offensive and coordinating roles, especially Ronaldinho, he is more of an offensive task.

When the team attacked, Kaka advanced to the 9th and a half, Messi crossed from the right, Aguero pulled the opponent's defensive player to the right, and Ronaldinho cut into the opponent's penalty area from the left. Forming the first wave of offense, at this time three players have formed a triangle running system, and Kaka is in the middle of the three people, at any time as a mobile force to attract defensive pressure.

of course. This set of tactics can also be used in reverse. Little Ronetce, Aguero pulls to the left, Messi cuts diagonally inwards into the penalty area, this is just a routine, players can fully adapt to the situation on the court.

Outside the triangle attack area, David Silva and Iniesta gave repression. On the one hand, they can respond, they can deliver artillery shells for the offensive hand in front, and they can form an anti-rob. Exposed loopholes.

Harvey? Alonso and the three guards are behind to provide support and protection, and then form a strong attack. Putting the opponent firmly in the 32m area is like the Champions League final where Real Madrid pressed Chelsea to play the whole game.

The ball always moves in the opponent's threat zone. This is undoubtedly the most favorable situation for Real Madrid, and Real Madrid plays a three-back, lacking offensive offense, but as long as necessary, any player in the midfield and backcourt can play the role of a full-back defender, because Real Madrid collectively enters the opponent's 32 meters area, Every move can create a threat.

This set of tactics by Yang Cheng looks beautiful in theory and beautiful, but not everyone can use it. Only Real Madrid has such strength. Because Real Madrid now has this group of outstanding superstars.

In other words, if players like Iniesta and David Silva are not delicate enough, Yang Cheng would not dare to play like that.

Another point is that Real Madrid ’s oppression tactics are very good, and it is very active to fight back in the frontcourt, which can effectively prevent the opponent ’s counterattack. Maximize the firmness of the three guards.

My defense line is pressed to the 32-meter area of ​​Qian. The offensive player must be at least 68 meters away from my goal. To play an effective counterattack, after the goal is intercepted, the player must travel with a long distance to take the ball and attack 60 meters, this difficulty is very large, because the long-distance raid seems simple, but not anyone can afford it.

In order to play a long-distance attack under the desperate pursuit of the other party, rhythm, frequency of dribbling, and pace are indispensable, because once Qi has made a mistake in a certain step, it leads to the slow progress of the ball. Down, the defensive player in the opponent's off-ball state can catch up with Qi at any time.

So in today's football, with so many speed players, how many can play a long-distance attack?

When the team arrived in Kunming, Real Madrid began to enter the pre-season preparation stage.

Is a physical reserve training class in the morning. It is open to the public every three days. At noon, there are still some technical and tactical exercises. In the afternoon, it is targeted training and group confrontation training. Each class is 90 minutes, and the content is arranged very compact and intensive.

Especially in the noon and afternoon training classes, Yang Cheng began to focus on the set of 3133 tactics he planned for the team.

Theoretical things are not enough, it depends on the practice, and the adaptability of the players, such as three-back, Real Madrid has been playing four-back for so many years, suddenly playing three-back, side defense, overall movement, especially The response between Della Red, a free-and-back center defender and his teammates, is all a problem.

Although Messi's joining has enriched the team's skills and tactics, how to coordinate the relationship between him and Ronaldinho, how to allocate his ball in the midfield and take back the response, how to let Ronaldinho and Aguero The triangle attack with Messi formed a tacit understanding and cooperation, as well as Kaka's forward insertion.

These are all problems, but because these players are very high players, and the skills are also outstanding, so Yang Cheng arranged the task, they can quickly understand that what is lacking is the formation on the court Cooperate to form a tacit understanding.

How does David Silva and Iniesta effectively complement each other in the midfield, and how Harvey Alonso balances forward and backward. These all require a lot of practice and competition to accumulate experience. And then grind into synthetic type.

And Yang Cheng mentioned more than once in the team's tactical meeting. The team has not yet specified the starting lineup and main position. He just said that he will play 3133. The specific candidate has not been determined yet. Everyone has a chance. After all Granero can also play a midfielder, Parejo is also a powerful challenger for David Silva and Iniesta, and Mata can also play a winger and a midfielder.

Even Marcelo, a full-back, is actually very strong as a winger. In particular, his on-site anti-robbing awareness and defensive ability are excellent, and he has made a great contribution to the team.

As for Avelloa and Miguel Torres, they can both take the position of the team's left and right central defenders. Pepe and Compani are also strong contenders for the central defender. Although the central defender is Della Red, Yang Cheng also The use of Tiago Silva is not excluded.

For Yang Cheng, the most important thing is to maintain the competition of the team, so that everyone can do their best to show and exert their own strength. Every game strives to win opponents and ensure their position in the team.

Only in this way can he twist this giant star-studded Real Madrid into a rope and form a fighting force to prevent them from fighting each other.

And in the final analysis, the success or failure of a team depends on not only these superstars, but also these substitute players on the team. They are also very important links that affect the stability and performance of the team throughout the season. .

Therefore, he should not only promote the internal competition of the team, but also maintain unity, and formulate an orderly rotation system to ensure the stability and unity of the team.

On July 24th, everyone looked forward to the most galaxy battleship in the history of football, finally set sail in China!
