Chapter 770 The Debate Caused by the Gunner Myth Li Huan

(Ask for a monthly pass, a guaranteed monthly pass)

After returning from Germany, Arsenal became the darling of the British media, and received even more praise than Manchester United. No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson was jealous of the media's praise of Arsenal. He believed that Arsenal did not win any championships, but they were able to win so many. The praise is a very strange thing.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who only focused on results, forgot that the team's style of play is equally important. Arsenal's style of play is the most beautiful in the entire Premier League. Even in world football, only Barcelona can be compared with them.Once Arsenal's performance is also good, it is normal to be sought after by the media and fans.

But it's no wonder that Ferguson is jealous. The media's praise for Arsenal is really too much, even a little disgusting. The "Sun" described Arsenal as the first team in the Premier League that combines art and victory, individual and overall, performance and viewing. It believes that as long as Arsenal can win a championship, they can completely crown the dream The title of the team.Just like the famous reporter Robert said, "Since Barcelona in the 0506 season can be called the second dream team, if Arsenal can win the Champions League, they are also fully qualified to be called the first dream team."

"The Times" regarded Hoffenheim's home loss to Arsenal as a handover ceremony of the new and old overlords, "During the summer transfer, Hoffenheim gave their king to Arsenal, but until now, Hoffenheim just handed over the scepter to Arsenal at their home stadium, the Rhine-Neckar Arena.” The Times believes that Li Huan’s joining has changed Arsenal’s traditional style of play, improved Arsenal’s offensive ability, and made Arsenal From a flamboyant team to a sharp swordsman, Henry let Arsenal win the league championship, and now Arsenal has found his new chief from the Far East, and the conditions for winning the Champions League are ripe.

"Daily Mail" almost pays homage to Li Huan, thinking that even if Li Huan does not win a championship, his performance at Arsenal will become a legend. The Daily Mail said that Li Huan subverted the traditional football theory’s understanding of players. When football entered the 21st century, as total football became more and more mainstream, the requirements for players became higher and higher. Li Huan is becoming more and more versatile, and Li Huan is a true total player. If there are 10 players like Li Huan in a team, according to Michels' total defense theory, this team must Will be invincible in the world.

The "Daily Mail"'s theory of Total Defense players was the first to cause controversy among the British media. "The Times" believed that it was impossible for a genius like Li Huan to be mass-produced every 100 years. Therefore, "Daily The point made by The Post is a joke.

"Daily Mail" believes that since one Li Huan can be produced, more Li Huan can be produced. In the 21st century, science and technology are more developed, and sports science research is getting more and more in-depth. Geniuses like Li Huan can be produced through training. .This is why the Total Attack and Total Defense theory of the Michels era has only been applied to practice more and more in modern times.

As the two media debated and attacked each other, more media discovered this hotspot that attracted readers and joined in. The British Isles actually sparked a big debate about "whether geniuses can be mass-produced" .

Then Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger and Manchester United's head coach Ferguson also joined the debate. With the addition of two world-renowned coaches, the broad proposition of "genius can't be mass-produced" has also become concrete and in-depth. , became "Total Football needs players who don't need Total Football".

Wenger loves his student Li Huan very much, he agreed to Li Huan's leave, and he explained Li Huan's scandal, but he didn't think that talented players like Li Huan could not be produced through scientific training.In an interview with the "Daily Mail", Professor Wenger believes that although it is impossible to copy Xiao Li's flying knife through training, it is not impossible to train a player like Li Huan who can attack and defend well, and Li Huan is the player of the next era The template, total players and total defense tactics, this is a necessary condition for building a total defense team.

As Wenger's old rival, Sir Alex Ferguson did not take Wenger's opinion seriously. Sir Ferguson said: "The total attack and total defense theory expounded by Michels requires that all players except the goalkeeper can both attack and defend. It is against the characteristics of human beings. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and their own characteristics. Let everyone become omnipotent. The result is that everything is mediocre. True offensive football does not necessarily require every player to be like Li Huan. He can also attack and defend well, if there are players like Li Huan on the football field, the coach should lose his job."

Sir Bobby Charlton, a representative of the old school of British football, also expressed his views on this. Sir Charlton believed that it is impossible for talented players like Li Huan to be produced through training. If geniuses can be produced through scientific training, then Can't be called a genius.Based on his understanding of Michels, Charlton believes that Michels' Total Defense does not require everyone to be as amazing as Li Huan, but only requires players to have more comprehensive skills on the basis of specialization.

Soon this debate that originated in the British Isles spread to the European continent. The Spaniards believed that the British were not worthy of talking about total defense. British football, which only let the ball fly in the sky, could not play total football. As long as you exercise your body well, you will be fine.Only the Spaniards can understand the essence of Total Football, and Barcelona is the representative of Total Football.

Italy finds it funny that the British discuss Total Football. In the eyes of the Italians, football is a clear distinction between offense and defense. Keep your own goal and prevent the opponent from defending the goal. The game is won, and the game is good. , It is better to be able to win a good point and attract fans. As for using total defense, long pass, or defensive counterattack, there is nothing wrong with it, nothing to blame, and it doesn't matter.

However, the Italian media still talked about the understanding of Total Defense. The Italian media believed that Michels was an idealist, so the theory of Total Defense he put forward was also very idealistic. In fact, even Michels Norse never built a true Total Football team.

The romantic French are very interested in this topic. Their media, the domestic media, and the fans have their own opinions and debate endlessly. Some think that there is no Total Defense player. Saying Total Defense refers to the style of play, not the players.

The debate on this topic is absolutely indispensable to Barcelona's godfather Cruyff. The Dutch flying man is the successor and practitioner of Michels' football thinking. He will never ignore such topics. He talks about it in his column Here's my take on the debate and my own point of view.

"Start the offense at the defender. While developing a comprehensive offensive pattern, let the striker participate in the midfield work, and let the midfielder assist the defender. This is Michels' total attack and total defense theory, which is the greatness of football. Changes have also resulted in the rapid development of technical football.

A team of 11 players like Li Huan is the perfect state of total defense. These players are both superb individual skills and an integral part of the overall machine, but such players are difficult to find, so Now all the teams are still unable to fully attack and defend, including Barcelona and Arsenal, they are all Michels, I hope that some teams can do it in the future. "

German Kaiser Beckenbauer, who is as famous as Cruyff, has a different view. Beckenbauer believes that players like Li Huan and himself are just a special case. The physical conditions and thinking methods required for offense and defense are very different. It is not easy for a player to become a leader in a certain position in his career. It is impossible to achieve both offense and defense. Forwards, midfielders and defenders are all capable.Moreover, Beckenbauer believes that there is not only a total attack and total defense style of play in the world, even if a team consists of 11 Li Huan, it may not be able to defeat 11 teams that are not comprehensive but are all outstanding players in various positions. Team.Beckenbauer compared football to war, and believed that although communication soldiers and cooking soldiers can also kill the enemy, their greatest role is not to kill the enemy, but to cooperate with teammates to fight.

The words of the two prestigious football seniors put an end to this debate. Although there is still no conclusion, people also know that there will be no result if this proposition continues to be debated.There has never been one set style of play in football.It is a process of continuous confrontation and penetration of many tactics.

After the debate is over, the biggest beneficiary besides the media is Li Huan. After the debate, Li Huan's popularity and influence have greatly increased. Many people have now compared Li Huan to people like Beckenbauer and Cruyff. The emperor superstars are on a par, thinking that after retiring, Li Huan can occupy a place in the world football hall of fame even if he does not participate in the World Cup, and his status will not be worse than that of the Dutch trapeze and German Kaiser.

No matter how fierce the outside debate is, it will not affect Arsenal's training and combat preparations. Arsenal's players just listen to these debates on tactical theory. For them, the most important thing is the weekend and West Ham. The league, even the League Cup in the middle of next week is more important than tactics such as total defense and libero.This league is not difficult to play, nor is it important, but there is one thing that Arsenal players have to pay attention to, because this game is the 14th game after Arsenal's 15 consecutive victories. As long as they win, Arsenal will win again. Created a new winning streak record.
