Chapter 464 Tactical Discussion
Rangnick is a very special head coach, not only because he adheres to the oppressive style of play that is rarely seen in the Bundesliga, high-position pressing and quick offensive and defensive transitions, but also because he has introduced a large number of scientific training methods and attaches great importance to the details of training and games .

The first thing after starting the training camp makes all players feel fresh.

At Rangnick's request, team doctor Langes conducted a blood test on all players in order to observe their physical condition and decide whether to adjust the training volume.

When Rangnick explained the reason and adjusted the amount of training for each player, Farfan secretly rejoiced, but Sun Wu, who was watching coldly, snickered.

Sun Wu is very clear that Lannick insists on oppressive tactical style, which almost determines that physical fitness is the basis of tactics, and if you can't run, you will be fucked!

Physical training must be one of the most important parts of Lannick's winter training camp. Sure enough, Farfan complained with a sad face the next day. This kind of training intensity is really not much better than Magath...

However, Rangnick's coaching style is not as strict as Magath's. All training content must be completed according to quality and quantity, but it is much more gentle in terms of attitude and methods, and Farfan's complaints are gradually reduced... The truth is In fact, the core contradiction between the Peruvians and Magath lies in the latter's attitude and desire to control the players.

After three days of intensive physical training, Rangnick began to infuse his own tactical thinking into this team little by little, from the tactical board to the training ground in terms of the intensity of running positions, response, and siege. .

"Why is the high position pressing? One is to launch an attack immediately after the steal, and may even form a local numerical advantage, and the other is to reduce the pressure on the defense."

"So there are two key points, a lot of running is required, not only the running of forwards and midfielders, full backs, even defensive midfielders, and central defenders should participate in running and even high-position pressing. Second, after stealing Passing and running positions need to be fast and tacit, which needs to be cultivated on the training ground..."

After a tactical lesson, Rangnick went out to rest, and the players discussed this tactic.

"It's a bit like Dortmund, but also Mainz."

"The transition between offense and defense is very fast. The key is to have a tacit understanding of passing and running. Everything is done in high-speed movement."

"The high press is a bit like Barcelona..."

"No, no, Barcelona would not be so fast if it wasn't for Messi to take the ball after the steal. We don't have Messi, so we can only use fast passes and cuts instead. There is no chance to pass back to control the rhythm."

Looking at the densely packed running routes drawn on the tactical board, Farfan felt a little dizzy. He felt that to fully understand this line of thinking, he would at least have a high school diploma...

"Take your time." Sun Wu patted Farfan on the shoulder, "Don't think so much, keep running around, stealing and running, passing the ball in a timely manner, and finally shooting."

Walking out of the meeting room, Sun Wu walked into Rangnick's office, glanced at the thick training book on the table, tsk tsk, the running routes of each player in different situations were marked out in detail, it is estimated that Guardiola's training Not so detailed?
"What's been discussed?"

"It is said that it is a bit similar to that of Tuchel and Klopp." Sun Wu said with a smile: "At least everyone is very enthusiastic. After all, apart from Metzelder and Raul, most of the main and semi-main players in the team are Young people, there is no problem in terms of physical fitness."

"These will be honed slowly on the training ground. It's not a big problem. At least everyone is willing to adapt to this tactic, and most of them meet the standard of this tactic." Lannik paused, "The key is you, Best .”

Sun Wu nodded flatly, "Yes, the key is me. If I retreat to control the rhythm, the strength of the frontcourt press and the effect of the counterattack after the steal will be greatly reduced."

"Barcelona was not the first to use high-position pressing tactics, but Guardiola is the one who used this tactic most successfully." Rangnick got up and walked to the tactical board, "Whether it is Iniesta or Messi, or Xavi or Braun Scotts?"

Lannick is asking about Sun Wu's positioning.

To be Iniesta requires a high press, breakthroughs and running passes to threaten the ball.

Being Harvey requires more rhythm control. It’s not that Harvey doesn’t participate in high-position pressing, but that there is Busquets behind Harvey, and there is only Westerman behind Sun Wu...

Sun Wu was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Ralph, what do you think?"

"I can only say that it's a pity that Schalke 04 only has one Best." Rangnick said with a smile: "In fact, you surprised me. Although you haven't found your most suitable position yet, for this tactic, you The fastest taker of anyone...including the coaching staff."

Uh, Sun Wu blushed a little, this oppressive style of play is really not very new in the future...

"During training, you correct your teammates' running positions at any time. I know your commanding ability and tactical adjustment ability." Lannick sat down and said: "Even the oppressive style of play often requires on-the-spot adjustments."

"Of course, high-position presses may not always be successful. The position of teammates before the counterattack often determines their running route during the counterattack." Sun Wu nodded, "But these need to be honed slowly on the training ground, not in a short while The child can run in successfully."

"One month." Rangnick thought for a while, "I hope to run in as much as possible before the start of the Champions League knockout round. Most of the players meet the tactical standards."

Sun Wu is gearing up and eager to try. From his own characteristics, this set of tactics can give full play to his strengths as much as possible, such as wonderful running positions, unexpected and precise passing routes, clever escape, exquisite teamwork... plus Go to "The Eye of God".

Gee!

Now Sun Wu really wants to compete with Barcelona.

"As for you, Best." Lannick finally concluded: "You still need to choose your position based on your performance on the court, and even your opponent."

"They all said that my tactics are very similar to Tuchel and Klopp. This is true, but there are also differences."

"The point is that the strength of Mainz's players is limited. Even Dortmund doesn't have a top midfielder who can control the tempo with short passes or even play ball control. Shaheen is not top in this regard." Rangnick looked at Sun Wu, "And I have you, Best."

Sun Wu paced back and forth thinking for a long time before slowly nodding, "So once Mainz succeeds in a high position press, they will send the ball to the dangerous area as quickly as possible. They don't have the ability to play and control the ball; while Dortmund...More Klopp hates playing position because of his style."

Of course, Sun Wu remembers that Klopp's late coaching period in Dortmund and Liverpool often led to the embarrassment that opponents could not shrink back and could not break the deadlock.

Indeed, the oppressive style of play does not mean high-position pressing, but more emphasis on the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, which requires a lot of running, but it does not mean not playing to control the ball.

"Westman's ability to play the ball is a bit weak, which is a big problem." Rangnick shook his head, "But we don't have the funds to buy an excellent midfielder, so, Best, you may have to practice defense."

"I hit the lower back?"

"Both you and Rakitic can play as a defensive midfielder in terms of ability and style." Rangnick said softly: "Sometimes you need to take risks. Next summer, our first choice is an excellent defensive midfielder." .”

Sun Wu sighed and asked me to practice defense and play as a midfielder?

"But Best, your defense really needs to be practiced." Lannick threw out a form, "This is the data of all your cards after you landed in the Bundesliga, two red cards, 14 yellow cards, this is a very vicious player Defensive midfielder stats."

"Every time you lose the ball, the first choice is to foul."

"Every time you see a hazard, the first choice is to foul."

"In fact, with your ability to be very sensitive to gaps, you are talented defensively."

　Practice defense, this is a foreshadowing
