ball at foot

The words "must lose doubt" made Thierry pale in surprise.He really didn't understand why Wenger would say that.

"Porto's defense is very solid, and their chances of winning, no matter how you look at it, are bigger." Thierry couldn't help but said.Although he is French, he is very clear that if he helps Monaco to blow too hard, and Monaco loses in the end, it will not be as good as him.Let Wenger say this kind of thing.

"Thierry, have you ever thought about a question. There are many things in football, which are easy-to-understand truths that everyone knows, but few people pursue them in depth. This kind of philosophy hidden in tactics is It’s like a breeze, it’s everywhere, but you can’t see it, you can only feel it with your heart.” Wenger began his own words, “There are a few problems, which everyone knows. First, if the frontcourt players put in more If the team defends with more strength, the team’s defense will be more stable. Second, if the team defends and counterattacks, the possibility of winning will be higher. Third, the team keeps passing and controlling, and it is very likely that mistakes will be made. People hit behind. These few things are well-known things in football, right?"

"Of course." Thierry nodded.

"But despite this fact, in the big giants, the frontcourt players still have the power not to return to the defense. Few teams are willing to squat in the backcourt and play counterattacks, and the tactics of attacking the ball have always been considered the most Tactics worth advocating, why? Are all the head coaches of wealthy clubs fools? They have to seek their own death? And why are high-priced stars often not defenders, but strikers?"[

This question stunned Thierry for a moment.Although he has also been in the football world for a long time, it is difficult to do things that are easy to comment on. Why this problem, he has never thought about it.

"Because it looks good? Fans love to watch it? Can you sell more tickets?" Thierry shook his head after thinking for a long time, "I don't know. Such a reason is untenable. There must be some special tactical reason. .But it is said that defense determines the championship..."

"Defense has never been able to determine the championship. This sentence is not a football word, it is only said in basketball." Wenger waved his hand in disgust, "When did someone advocate defense in football? In 82, Italy relied on defense to steal. At the World Cup, but until now, if anyone in the Italian team said that his goal was to build an Italian-style team in 82, he would be scolded crazy. When people mention 82, they still only mention Brazil in that year , isn’t it because of Brazil’s artistic football?”

"Then what is the advantage of artistic football?" Thierry asked.

"Initiative." Wenger simply summed it up in one word, "When your football is offensive football, the initiative is in your hands. This is exactly the goal of football."

"Football is essentially a game where there are more mistakes than successes. No one can ensure that the shooting success rate is above 50%. If it reaches 20%, there is no essential help, and you still dare not give the opponent even a chance. Of course, in relatively low-level games, it is effective to reduce the opponent's chance of shooting and let the opponent reduce the number of shots. Not only It is effective and simple, so many people like it. But in high-level competitions, the turnover rate of each other is very high. What is more important is not to make the turnover rate higher, but to increase your own success rate. Let 10% of the success It is more useful to change the rate to 20% than to let the opponent's 30% become 20%."

"Why can the frontcourt players not return to the defense? Because too much return to the defense will consume their energy and cause technical deformation when attacking, which will cause problems in the team's attack. Why are everyone unwilling to defend? Because the opponent's attack success rate Even again, but just one success will rewrite the score. The attackers have the ball at their feet, and they have more initiative. They can make the game act according to their needs. This is why genius is extremely important The reason is that their success rate is much higher than others, and football is a game in which one chance can change the final score."

"But if the defender is good enough to a certain extent, it can theoretically block the opponent's chances to zero. And you also said that offensive football is very dependent on the performance of talent. If one side does not have talent, how can it be Isn't it better to defend?" Thierry thought for a while before speaking.

"Yes, in theory. But there is another issue involved here: physical strength and defensive skills. You should understand one thing: the defensive team always needs to make more runs than the offensive team. Sometimes, theoretically speaking, defensive football can indeed block offensive football, but what if it runs to the end? Man said that the physical strength of the defensive side is consumed faster, even if both sides are too tired to run, and their skills are deformed, then, yes Are offensive mistakes more terrifying or defensive mistakes? The difference between zero and one is greater than the difference between one and 99, because it determines that you have to do something, and you have to do it.” Wenger paused, “Of course, if It is a strong team playing against a weak team, anti-counterfeit football is the best. Because he is stable, old-fashioned, and bullying the weak is the best. This is why many people hold on to it, because it can be better to bully the weak. Guaranteed league results."

Speaking of this, Thierry finally understood, "The reason why Porto's head coach is angry is because he is worried about the team's physical strength?"

"Yes." Wenger nodded, "Except for a very few people, what is the upper limit of the physical strength of most football players? According to the survey, it is probably able to run over 120 meters, that is to say, the physical strength to run for 120 minutes .But if the physical strength of running for 90 minutes is used to defend football, how long can it last? [-] minutes."

"Therefore, the problem here is revealed. If the game ends within the normal time, relying on hard work, it is indeed possible to compete with the talented artistic football. But once it enters overtime, this It is no longer a category that can be managed by manpower. According to Porto's style of play, entering overtime, there will definitely be a problem of physical exhaustion. It is precisely because of this that the coach will be angry even if he is only equalized. For him , the longer the game drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him.”

"But is it possible that Monaco is also lacking in physical strength? They also haven't played overtime in a season."

This question made Wenger shake his head, "After two weeks of rest, and they have always been a team that is strict with themselves, I think the situation you mentioned is unlikely to happen. Generally speaking, Veterans, or South Americans may collapse due to lack of physical strength, but Deschamps' team, after all, is still based on Europeans and Africans as the main frame, let alone Asians, there is no need to doubt the physical strength of yellow races , Just look at the marathon project to know how strong their physical strength is."

This explanation finally made Thierry agree.

And on the field at this time, the game continued.

Didier Deschamps was also a little surprised just now. It was also the first time he saw such an enthusiastic coach. The moment the goal was scored, the opposite head coach Mourinho immediately rushed to the fourth official, shouting for offside - Didier Deschamps His Portuguese is not very good and he can only understand a limited number of words.But he was sure what the other party meant.

This was the first time he had seen such a coach who was more excited than the players.During a football game, the coach uses his brain, and the most important thing is to be calm, so why are you excited?

But considering that the coach's commanding talent is not bad, or that he just pretended to be excited to put pressure on the referee?It's just that he is obviously a very good coach, so instead of spending more time on tactics, what is he spending on these things? [

The game is still going on.Deschamps originally thought that the opponent would make some adjustments.But the other party obviously had other thoughts and did not make adjustments.

That's right, although Monaco has already equalized the score of the game, the problem is that the impressiveness of Porto's counterattack ability will not disappear in a while.Monaco's attack still does not dare to press too high, and it is really too early to make adjustments now.

Thinking of this, Deschamps laughed dumbfounded.I thought I had seen enough storms, and I would not be too unbalanced because of things, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.This damn Champions Cup final still made my mentality a bit at a loss.

It's not as good as the person on the opposite side. They haven't mentioned a single national team game, and they haven't played in the Champions League. They are still very conservative

This made Deschamps close his eyes, trying to adjust his mentality.

On the court, Zhao Yaning also launched an attack again at this time.

After a small cooperation with Roten, Zhao Yaning rushed to the left again.Facing Ferreira's defense, Zhao Yaning stepped on two bicycles in a row, and then retreated one step. The moment Ferreira stepped forward to press, a beautiful fried ball passed him, and then a Foot cross.

Morientes was too disturbed, he didn't adjust himself, so he had to ferry the ball to Giuly on the right.

After Giuly got the ball, he stopped the ball and passed Costa, and then shot with a kick.But his shot was a step slower.Baia jumped up and lifted the ball over the bar.

"Giuly didn't shoot again!" Thierry couldn't help but sighed, "Giuly's state..."

"The opponent's defensive action is very big, there is a lot of physical contact, and the referee's whistle is too wide. After all, Giuly's body is not good enough. It is understandable that he did not play well." Wenger said from the side.

I'm not talking about this.Thierry sighed.

After all, Zhao Yaning and Jiuli can only have one person as the core of the team.Jiuli did not play in two consecutive knockout rounds and did not play in three games. In the last game against Chelsea, he played so-so. It has already made people believe that Zhao Yaning is the core of the team.And now that he played like this again in this game, there is no need to doubt what people said.Jiuli missed opportunities again and again, because he lowered his Golden Globe ranking.

Could it be that, as people say, the French can only win any war in any sense under the leadership of foreigners?
