Chapter 254 Mourinho's Defensive Tactics

Whether Lippi takes over or not, Ye Tian has no intention and cannot influence it.

The 2018 Russia World Cup, the second group stage of the Asian qualifiers, the grouping has been determined.

A total of 5 qualifying teams will be divided into two groups. The top two teams in each group will directly enter the World Cup. The fifth place will be determined by No.3 in each group through two rounds.

The Chinese team is in Group A, which includes Qatar, Syria, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and Iran.

At this time, all opponents are not good.

The Group A schedule has also come out, and the first round will be played this year.

On September 9, China played away at South Korea. On September 1, China played at home against Iran. On October 9, it played at home in Syria. On October 6, it played away at Uzbekistan. On November 10, it played at home in Qatar.

The second round will start in March next year.

But before that, Ye Tian still has a league and a warm-up match to play.

The purpose of the warm-up match is the running-in between the players and the actual test of the players' tactical intentions against the head coach.

Of the five warm-up matches, only the last one was held at Old Trafford, that is to say, starting from July 7th, Ye Tian will always fly with the team.

Kang Miaoxuan will take the Shaoxia Fund personnel to China first, and after meeting Ye Tian, ​​they will come back together.

After the reluctant farewell, Ye Tian once again returned to the simple repetitive life of training-rest-training.

Until July 7, they came to the DW Stadium in different regions of the same county to start their first warm-up match.

This is a warm-up match with this season's newly promoted Wigan Athletic.

Mourinho only allowed Ibrahimovic and Ye Tian to play for half an hour, and then replaced them after scoring two goals.

He needs to know more about the technical and tactical level of others.

But in the first half, after Ye Tian and Ibrahimovic left the field, Wigan Athletic suddenly exerted force and threatened Manchester United's goal many times. Fortunately, their finishing touches were always short of breath.

In the second half, Mourinho made a large number of substitutions, 7 up and 7 down.

Finally, Mata made an interception in the penalty area and scored across the front line.

Manchester United frequently used the wing to attack, threatening the opponent's hinterland.

Before the end of the game, he took a free kick outside the penalty area on the right, played a tactic into the penalty area, and finally Herrera scored.

In the end, Manchester United won by 4 goals.

But Mourinho was not satisfied.

The next morning, he called all the players together and started his analysis report.

Every player who played has received a paper report with various data on his performance on the field.

All performances during defensive positioning, offensive transition, ball possession advancement, and defensive transition, with ratings and suggestions for improvement.

Then, everyone watched the game video together.

Mourinho said: "This game, we won, which is good, no one likes to lose."

"But we can do better."

"Our main tactical idea is to base ourselves on defense and play a good offense."

"Remember, lads! Defense leads to championships! Play defense well, let's talk offense!"

"Unfortunately, we didn't do a good job defensively in the last game!"

"If they were Liverpool, if they were Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, I'm sure they would have caught our many loopholes in this game."

Mourinho's game video is different from the TV station's, it is the whole game.

He began to explain attack by attack.

Tell about Manchester United's offensive running and Manchester United's defensive positioning.

Tell about Wigan Athletic's attacking runs, and Wigan Athletic's defensive positions.

"Here, Ye Tian, ​​if you run this way, it will be easier to pull your opponent away. In this way, Lingard can get in in the middle, and his chances will be better than yours."

Ye Tian nodded, and Lingard was also very excited to hear it.

"However, if Lingard's two shots are not within the frame, you don't have to think about his jumping in!"

Everyone laughed.

Because in the last game, Lingard had a lot of opportunities, but he shot them all!

At this time, in the video, Wigan Athletic had a free kick on the left side of the front field.

At this time, all Manchester United players are defending in the backcourt, and the opponent has seven players in the frontcourt.

In the penalty area, Manchester United seven, opponent three, free kick side, Manchester United two, opponent two, weak side area, opponent two, Manchester United one.

"What's the problem?"

Mourinho paused to ask everyone.

"Not aggressive enough," Rooney said.

"That's right! Defense doesn't mean shrinking, nor does it rely on a large number of people!"

"An effective offensive threat can also restrain the opponent from participating in the offense. In this game, we have too many people participating in the defense!"

"We are leading, and they should be the ones under pressure!"

The recording continues.

Wigan Athletic pretended to hang directly in the penalty area, but actually made a short pass, and the receiver passed two Manchester United players and then directly entered the penalty area and made a cross.

time out.

Mourinho stared at everyone with wide eyes.

At this time, after this series of actions, the 10 Manchester United players have completely become headless chickens. They neither compress the space of the ball holder nor the space of the ball-free person!

All attention is attracted by the bottom of the ball holder!

In the penalty area, except for one who went to block and one who went out to block and was thrown away, the other five were all pulled down into the small penalty area, and the three players of the opponent were left unattended!

Even the two outside the penalty area are in a state of free movement!
"It's good that you guys pay close attention to the movement of the ball!"

"However, when defending in position, where does the space compression for people without the ball go?"

If the opponent's space has been compressed, but the opponent can still score goals, it means that the opponent's personal ability is outstanding, but in a situation like this, it is entirely a problem with the system!
and so……

Mourinho went crazy!
"I ask you to man-to-man!"

"In a certain area, carry out the man-to-man method!"

"But starting from the front of the box, our marking has to be tighter! Perfect!"

"When the opponent leaves your defense zone, you need to return immediately to maintain the integrity of the lineup!"

Carrick raised his hand and Mourinho motioned for him to speak.

"Coach, man-to-man in the zone is exploited by the opponent. If we play more and less, how should we deal with it?"

An arc appeared on Mourinho's face: "Two ways. The first one is to rely on the defensive tacit understanding between our players and more active running than the opponent."

"Second, let's set up a scavenger."

Everyone nodded, both ways are right.

If the opponent uses our man-to-man to take away the defenders, form a local area to play more and less, and then complete the breakthrough in this area, the sweeper's supplementary defense is the most critical.

"Our sweeper will not be a special position, but all the defenders must act temporarily, even the midfielder who is back in place, and Ye Tian, ​​you must be able to understand this tactic."

Ye Tian nodded, expressing his understanding!

Compared with Spalletti, obviously, Mourinho's tactical guidance is more clear!
Now, after the targeted training, it will be tested in actual combat.

The next warm-up match, July 7, Shanghai, China, Dortmund.

　Dichlorvos: Promise of this thing, people who listen to it will always remember it, but those who say it will long ago forget it.
