ball at foot

Hearing Aragones' question, Begiristan immediately responded, "Yes, this is nothing. First, he suggested that we buy a third goalkeeper, because he thinks that the two goalkeepers are not enough and there may be problems. However, We have all seen that Barcelona has only Valdes and Pinto up to now, without a third goalkeeper, and they are playing very well."

This point does not explain any tactical thinking, but the idea of ​​​​building a team is inconsistent.Mourinho has seen the collapse of Chelsea and saw that Chelsea's two goalkeepers are still not enough. He believes that one goalkeeper is not enough, and two are not enough. It is best to have three to meet the requirements of a strong team.But I have to say that goalkeeper injuries are not very common after all. Barcelona has two goalkeepers so far, and it is no big deal.

"Secondly, he suggested that we buy Lahm, followed by Maicon. And we bought Alves. He suggested that we should not give too much freedom of movement to the full-backs, but the freedom of movement of our full-backs , but it is the biggest in the team. Furthermore, when the defender was selected, he suggested that we buy Garay from Racing Santander, while in the frontcourt, he asked us to buy Lampard, and asked to keep Marquez and Deutschland. Ke, and think Eto'o is the absolute main force, if you can't keep Eto'o, you have to buy Drogba..."

"It sounds very different from Barcelona now," Aragones said.

"There is a big difference. The football concepts of Mourinho and Barcelona run counter to each other. Our thinking is very different. The things he believes are stable defense, attacking from the back, and attacking from the front. In our opinion, the players' counterattacks are all secondary things. What we pay attention to, the cooperation of passing and receiving the ball, and the control of the football, are all things he doesn't like. In terms of the philosophy of Mourinho and Barcelona Even if they don’t fit together, we certainly can’t use his methods. Those claims are nothing but hype by the media.”[

I'm afraid it's not the hype of the media, but the hype of a good agent.In this regard, Aragones said something in his heart, and, in the final analysis, it is right, what is said to be inconsistent with Barcelona's philosophy, isn't it just inconsistent with Cruyff's philosophy?

The transformation that Mourinho wants to make to Barcelona is more similar to the transformation to Chelsea.He hopes to strengthen Barcelona's strength by organizing the defense, strengthening the impact of the midfield and the use of the center forward.However, such a concept happens to be what Cruyff hates the most.The choice he made was Guardiola. He liked it, and it happened that Guardiola's tactics were in line with his own ideas. It is indeed nonsense to say that Guardiola copied Mourinho's CD.

Moreover, how many things can be contained in a disc, and the ever-changing arena, it is not always possible to cover everything in a disc.

Moreover, there is another important thing that also surprised Aragones.

"Mourinho didn't mention Messi?"

"There's not a lot of detailed planning."

In this case, Aragones understands something: Barcelona very much hopes to win Messi, and cultivating Golden Globe winners by themselves has always been one of Barcelona's business strategies.But Messi's playing characteristics happen to be Mourinho's least favorite type. Although Messi has a strong strength, Mourinho still does not intend to use him as the core, even in Mourinho In O's tactical planning, Messi's status is not as good as Eto'o's. This is probably one of the reasons why Barcelona gave up on him.

These ideas of Mourinho cannot be said to be wrong, but they are indeed not in line with Barcelona.If Cruyff is not there, Mourinho may be able to achieve some results if he takes the stage to coach. However, since Cruyff is here, Mourinho will naturally have no chance.

"Pep's tactics do have a lot of reference. His use of Alves is almost a complete copy of Sevilla's tactics. His offensive and defensive requirements for the frontcourt are also largely borrowed from The tactics of Roma and Manchester United, as well as the tactics of the Spanish national team. It's just that because the Spanish national team has Senna, but Barcelona does not, so in Pep's tactics, more rely on passing from the backcourt to maintain stability. The Spanish national team has Villa and Torres, but Barcelona does not, so we have to rely more on Messi... Pep is a very smart person, he has his own football philosophy, which is very close to Cruyff's But he is not like Mr. Cruyff who has been away from the football field for too long and lacks enough changes. He can absorb the advantages of the strong teams around him and use them flexibly. This is also very rare. Moreover, he is outside of tactics Many things are admirable. He improved Barcelona's diet structure and team doctor system, and changed the training content, which greatly reduced the injuries of Messi and others. This is also extremely beneficial to Barcelona's championship. .”

Aragones nodded silently as he listened to these words.Indeed, in terms of tactical ability, Guardiola is not the kind of amazing genius, but he does have his own uniqueness.He can hardly be called a genius when it comes to on-the-spot command, vision of people, and some so-called pursuit of artistic football and off-court problems. However, he has his own football philosophy and can absorb the tactical advantages of being tolerant of others. , learn and apply, mastery, this point, Mourinho and Cruyff are not as good as him - those two people are too strong, too strong to tolerate other people, such flexible spirit, they are No.

However, it is this spirit of flexibility that makes Barcelona even stronger.However, even so, he still has a lot of problems.After all, as a new coach, the lack of experience is inevitable. Compared with Ancelotti, too little coaching experience is his biggest problem.Incompetent on-the-spot command and insufficient countermeasures, these problems are also his unavoidable flaws.

This made Aragones cheer up: I don't know who is stronger when Barcelona and Real Madrid meet like this? ——

These guys are much harder to deal with than they were last season.

This is Zhao Yaning's feeling soon after meeting Barcelona.Compared with the previous season, Barcelona's mental outlook has taken on a new look, which was within his expectation.However, what is surprising is that Barcelona has not only improved a lot mentally, but also improved a lot in terms of game tactics.Not long after the game started, Zhao Yaning felt a stagnant feeling that he had rarely encountered since playing football this season. Obviously, Barcelona caused trouble for Real Madrid by relying on their way of playing.

The opponent's defense is much stronger than last season's defense.This kind of improvement in strength can be seen by anyone with eyes.

But where is the boost?Zhao Yaning was also a little puzzled.His biggest feeling is that the opponent's defense is more than a grade stronger than last season. However, Barcelona did not adopt an extremely aggressive frontcourt oppressive counterattack, and their players' physical fitness cannot afford to play like that. So, how did they defend?

When encountering trouble in the game, it is Zhao Yaning's habit to think and solve the problem with his own brain.This time is the same.Zhao Yaning quickly thought of something: In the final analysis, Barcelona’s football philosophy also relies on total defense. Since there is a problem, it is necessary to find the answer in total football.Since the opponent is not relying on oppressive football, then what they rely on can only be a defensive method: diamond cutting.

The so-called diamond cut is a theoretical defensive mode: when a player takes the ball to attack, his pass can only be a threatening attack when it is 180 degrees to the front. If it keeps passing back, Then, there is no way to launch an offensive.Then, the angle of passing the ball that needs to be prevented from attacking him is 180°.If the defensive side asks a person to immediately choose a frontal interception, the algorithm can grab the ball, at least it can block the opponent's frontal 90° pass angle and make it difficult to pass the ball.At this time, the pass only leaves a 45° pass space on each side of the wing. If one person on one side can block all the pass angles-relying on the positions of three people, even if there are not too many The physical confrontation can also allow the opponent to pass the ball successfully.And at this time, the opponent's choice can only be a long pass, and behind the three people, there is another person sweeping up and intercepting the pass, so as to achieve the goal of completely blocking the opponent's pass - this approach , that is, relying on the diamond-shaped four-person position, forming a diamond-shaped cut that intercepts all passes from the opponent.This kind of thing has always been quite theoretical. Michels created it, but not many people have used it. Until today, Zhao Yaning has only seen it in Barcelona.

Michels' 433 position originally paid great attention to such triangle and rhombus position rules. This kind of tactics can only be imitated by a team like Barcelona that plays 433 all the year round.Moreover, the diamond cut requires every defender to have a certain defensive ability, and only Spain, a country like Spain that likes to cultivate all-round midfielders, can best fulfill the tactical requirements. [

This is how Barcelona play now.Zhao Yaning felt that the offense was not smooth. The biggest problem was not that his breakthrough was not effective, or that he couldn’t hold the ball, but that the opponent’s defensive pass was done very well. I feel that my passing can no longer be as smooth as before, and receiving the ball is not as easy as before: In football, the passing rate has dropped by a notch, which is enough to completely change the attack of a team. Barcelona relies on It is not the "pressing" of the ball at the opponent's feet, but the diamond-cut siege of multiple people to complete the defensive work.

And Zhao Yaning also had to sigh that Guardiola did a good job: such a tactic requires everyone to work hard to run and defend hard to complete.Even if ordinary people know this tactic, it is difficult for players to play like this.After all, everyone is on defense, which is exhausting, and few big-name players are willing to do it.Although Guardiola relies mostly on his status as a meritorious player, he has to say that he has done this job very well. Leaving aside the current playing style of Barcelona, ​​this mental outlook alone is comparable to the previous one. The season couldn't be the same.With this style of play, there is no frantic pressing, and a lot less physical energy is consumed. Relying on interception and defense can save them a lot of energy. This is also a great reason why they have an advantage in the long-distance running of the season.

The opponent becomes stronger, so it is even more exciting.After seeing the characteristics of the opponent's playing style, Zhao Yaning immediately thought of how to deal with the opponent.

If we talk about the problem of total attack and total defense, then the importance of the midfielder in the backcourt defense: as the most important point of the diamond cut, it is also the last point in the inverted triangle pass, the role of this point , is the role of the core and soul.Well, since you want to defeat the opponent's tactics, the easiest way is to directly oppress this point.

Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is the best way.For Barcelona, ​​their midfielder position is their seven-inch deathbed.That being the case, then, try it yourself and beat them out of trouble
