my football i call the shots

"Well, let's talk about my childhood first, Lin Yaocong."

Gao Yi paused because he thought of the text message he received in the morning.

"As you all know, I used to partner with Yao Cong in the field field of Sports Plaza. We were called 'Black Bear Cheetah' together. Now that Yao Cong is called 'Black Bear', his characteristics are very intuitive. Yao Cong His confrontation ability is very good, he is different from Zhang Ziyang's combination of hardness and softness, Yao Cong's strength is savage and completely rigid, so it is very difficult, especially difficult to defend against him."

Speaking of this, Gao Yi couldn't help feeling emotional.Because he thought of how Lin Yaocong used his body to crush his brothers who were several years older than them on the field field when he was a child. That kind of kicking style full of rough strength is the most suitable for the harsh environment of the field field.

After recording what Gao Yi said about Lin Yaocong, Cao Chen also began to express his doubts.

"Gao Yi, what about the speed of 'Black Bear' Lin Yaocong? And his footwork? Attack characteristics? Can you be more specific?"

"Can……"

Gao Yi nodded, and returned to his stern expression: "Yao Cong's speed is not outstanding, but Yao Cong's physical fitness is terrible. Let's put it this way, I have played with him for so many years, and I have never seen him before. When he is tired, Yao Cong does not have many small skills in terms of footwork. He is more used to directly crushing with his body. Cong prefers to attack diagonally from the right, and use his physical advantage to eat the opponent's full-back. After joining the No. [-] Colonel Team, Yao Cong and I were placed on two flanks respectively. I was on the left, On his right, forming two flank attacks with different characteristics."

"Like This……"

After listening to Gao Yi's series of introductions, Cao Chen also nodded meaningfully.

At this time, Cao Chen was also feeling emotional.

What he feels is that this wild field is like a hotbed of stars, where various personalities can always be released, but the most important point is that those who play football on the field to the fullest, their physical fitness is the most terrifying weapons.Just like Gao Yi, he can always show tireless vitality in the game. Even after more than 80 minutes, Gao Yi can still break out at an amazing speed to complete various breakthroughs.

The advantage of physical fitness will often become the magical weapon to turn things around at the end of the game.

But this "black bear" Lin Yaocong is not only in excellent physical condition, but also a forward player known for his strength, which will make Cao Chen's defensive arrangements for him extremely difficult.

Seeing that Cao Chen didn't have any further questions, Gao Yi was also another core player who entered South Lake No. [-] Middle School.

"In the No. [-] middle school team, the one who left the deepest impression on me is the captain, Lian Ju, who is the goalkeeper."

"Lianju!!! I know!!!"

But when Gao Yi mentioned the name, Bai Xiaolei immediately interrupted Gao Yi's speech.

"Lian Ju, he also stayed in the provincial sports team at that time, but later he ran to the professional team. The reason was that he felt that the training of the provincial sports team was too childish and would affect his development. But I have to say that he played professionally The team has indeed become more terrifying. Last year, I heard from my friends that some professional teams wanted to sign Lianju directly without trial training. But he rejected the invitation. He told the scouts of the professional team that he wanted to play for South Lake No. [-] Middle School. I won’t consider a professional team until I graduate…”

"Stop, stop..."

Seeing Bai Xiaolei's eloquent appearance, Cao Chen also had no choice but to stop him.

Cao Chen rubbed his temple helplessly and said, "Xiaolei, stop talking about these past experiences at this time, what we need to understand is the technical characteristics."

"Yeah! Sorry, I'm too excited..."

Bai Xiaolei grinned, and quickly got to the point: "Lianju's strength is definitely among the top three in the province in his age group. He is the embryo of a top goalkeeper in terms of stature and nerve arc. His characteristics are more inclined to Traditional goalkeepers focus on making saves in front of the goal, and rarely choose to abandon the goal to attack. Anyway, it’s just one word—stable! Steady as Mount Tai, terrifyingly stable.”

"Well, a traditional goalkeeper rarely chooses to attack..."

Cao Chen hurriedly recorded the main points that Bai Xiaolei said one by one. After the recording was completed, Cao Chen continued to look at Gao Yi and asked, "Gao Yi, do you have anything to add?"

Gao Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Xiao Lei has already said it very clearly, I have nothing to add."

"That's okay..."

Cao Chen nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the next player."

"Okay..." Gao Yi nodded, and continued: "The No.3 player I need to talk about is the core midfielder of the No. 6 Middle School, and also the player with the most experience in high school football leagues in the No. [-] Middle School. Uh... the details Said that he was already in senior year of high school this year. After completing the college entrance examination in June this year, he should have graduated, but for some reason, he chose to repeat it. God, you know, at that time he was admitted to a good sports school College."

Speaking of this, Gao Yi also shook his head helplessly. Obviously, Gao is really unable to figure out the world of this kind of person.

"Uh, Gao Yi, you haven't said the player's name yet?"

"Oh yes!"

After being reminded by Cao Chen, Gao Yi hurriedly added: "He is the vice-captain of No. [-] Middle School and the team spirit of No. [-] Middle School. His name is Xu Wenjie."

"Xu Wenjie?"

Cao Chen hurriedly recorded the name.

"Well, Xu Wenjie, the deputy of Team Xu. He is an atypical defensive midfielder. He is not good at defense. He plays the role of a slow-down playmaker with an extremely precise long pass... oh, This is also similar to Mo Xingjie's characteristics. But the styles of the two of them are a little different. Mo Xingjie is better at hitting the ball in a straight line, while Xu's deputy prefers to hit the ball to the side, which is also similar to that of the fourth middle school. The tactical system has something to do with it."

While recording, Cao Chen muttered to himself, "An organized midfielder again???"

"Yes!" Gao Yi obviously heard Cao Chen's words, and he nodded heavily to express his affirmation.

"Xu's deputy stands in front of the two central defenders, forming a triangular position with the two central defenders. But he is not in charge of defensive sweeps. In order to allow Xu to organize better, there are people in front of him. The two engineer-type midfielders are responsible for the defensive sweep of the midfield, and assist him in getting the ball...that is, to "play hands" for him in the midfield. His position is so deep, which also makes the defensive players feel powerless. This is also the fourth middle school. The main reason why the offense is so alive."

"Hiss..." Cao Chen hissed like he was smoking a cigarette, and sighed with a serious face: "A well-experienced organizational midfielder, this is troublesome."

After all, Cao Chen frowned and shook his head. Obviously, he felt extremely troublesome about the core midfielder of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, even more troublesome than Lin Yaocong.

Cao Chen, who has been studying the evolution history of modern football, naturally understands the organizational midfielder.

The organization-type midfielder is a change made by the coaches in the face of the crazy meat-grinder-style press of the "Makelele-type midfielder". (PS: Probably from the beginning of the 21st century, it is difficult to trace back to who the first organizational midfielder is, but after consulting a lot of information, the answer given by more authorities is Pirlo. Here, Xiaomouzi reserves his opinion , because it is not necessarily sleeping skin.)
The head coaches at the time thought to themselves: If the players in the organization were withdrawn to the backcourt, wouldn't they be able to stay away from the midfield meat grinders? ? ?

As a result, the typical attacking midfielder transformed into an attacking midfielder, while the team's organization core retreated. They used long passes, direct passes, etc. to distribute the ball to the feet of wide players, or even straight passes. Tuck it under the striker and let them finish the goal directly.

Under such circumstances, new midfielders such as Harvey, Pirlo, and Alonso have appeared, and they have also been given a proper term: the lagging playmaker, which is now called the playmaker lower back.

Although players like them appear in the position of the defensive midfielder, they are more involved in offensive organization rather than focusing on defense. They are also called the team's "backcourt command tower".In the context of modern football's attackers hoarding on the wing, any team still needs a midfield commander to complete the tasks of offensive and defensive transitions and distribution of the ball.

Pirlo, Harvey, and Alonso are not very clear about the responsibilities of these organizational midfielders on the court. They can run freely and participate in the game according to actual needs.

When being attacked by the opponent, they will retreat deeper to help the defenders defend, and when the team regains possession of the ball, they will choose to move forward or pass the ball directly from the backcourt according to the situation, for the attack of the frontcourt The hands deliver the shells.

Many actual combat examples show that the retreat of the position also allows the "commander towers" to stay away from the mad dog-style press of the opponent's "Makelele", so that they can have better space and a broader vision to organize attacks.

In the 2011 Champions League final, Harvey's excellent scheduling helped Barcelona beat Manchester United to win the Champions League. At that time, Ferguson obviously failed to realize the horror of an organizational midfielder.

Although Giggs and Carrick served as midfielders in that game, they were too far away from Harvey to interfere.Although Rooney was standing not far from Harvey, the organization-type midfielder had only recently emerged at that time. Obviously, the Shrek people did not understand that giving such a world-class organization-type midfielder a wide range of activities would be beneficial to their team. is fatal.

In that game, Harvey passed 148 times, with a success rate of 95%. The game completely entered the rhythm of Barcelona.

In the 2013 Champions League knockout round, Real Madrid met Manchester United. In that contest, Real Madrid midfielder Alonso performed extremely well in the position of the organizational midfielder.In order to give Alonso more room to move, Real Madrid allowed him to retreat and be in front of the defense line. In this way, Alonso's powerful ability to distribute the ball was displayed.Through Alonso, Real Madrid organized an effective and fast attack, but it was difficult for Manchester United's defensive players to interfere with Alonso.

However, history has also proved that organizational midfielders are not invincible.

On the football field, there is always mutual generation and mutual restraint, and mutual circulation.

For example: the clever Ferguson found a way in the lessons of the 2011 Champions League final loss to Barcelona - in the 2013 Champions League knockout match, which is the game mentioned above, Ferguson pitted Welbeck against Defend Alonso and use the high press to compress Alonso's movement space.

In that game, Welbeck performed very well. He suppressed Alonso and it was difficult to play the ball. Since the expensive attackers in the frontcourt could not get effective delivery of ammunition, Real Madrid had difficulty finding the rhythm of the game.

It's just a pity that Manchester United still lost to the luckier Real Madrid and was eliminated.

Let an offensive player like Welbeck press through the high position and interfere with the opponent's late organizer. Although Manchester United has sacrificed in offense, the impact on Real Madrid is obviously greater.It can be said that such a sacrifice is worthwhile.

In fact, Manchester United is not the only team to do this. Also in the 2013 Champions League knockout round, Bayern also used Mandzukic, who can run and grab, to see Juventus' Pirlo dead.In the Champions League knockout round of that season, Pirlo's Juventus faced Mandzukic's crazy kicks and all kinds of physical contact that theoretically did not cause fouls. "Commander" Pirlo had no choice but to Lost in two rounds and went home.

Later, when Bayern faced Barcelona, ​​the strong and strong Mandzukic once again showed his role. He messed up Barcelona's golden midfielder.

It can be said that in today's increasingly fierce midfield competition, more and more teams are beginning to choose the "playmaker retreat" tactic. At the beginning of the 2014 season, Alonso came to Bayern from Real Madrid, and his passing ability has been better played in Bayern, which attaches great importance to pass control.

In the Bundesliga against Cologne in the 2014 season, Alonso broke the Bundesliga record with 204 touches. On average, Alonso can touch the ball in less than 26 seconds.Alonso also completed 175 passes in that game, which is even more than the entire Cologne team combined.You know, Cologne's defense in that game was very fierce, but Alonso was far away from the first battlefield, and he could calmly command from the midfielder.

In addition to Alonso, there are many players in international football who also have this ability.Barcelona's Xavi, Real Madrid's Kroos, Juventus' Pirlo, etc., just in Bayern, there are also Schweinsteiger, Thiago, and even Lahm who has moved forward.
