Chapter 418 Restraining Technical Teams
If the Premier League pays more attention to physical confrontation, La Liga can be said to be biased towards the combination of technology and tactics.

Real Madrid is a leader in the combination of skills and tactics, but it must be Barcelona who has brought technology to the current peak.

However, as Bailey said, the most perfect football is the perfect combination of technology and muscle.

German football had such momentum back then, but then it seemed to be a bit out of date.

After 2014, the German Footballer of the Year, Boateng (2016 German Footballer of the Year) was born in 88, and Lahm (2017 German Footballer of the Year) was born in 83. Both football careers have entered the end, especially Lahm, who has retired.And De Bruyne (2015 German Footballer) is not a German nationality at all.

On the Spanish side, after Grandpa established the entire system, their road to technical football has been developed very smoothly, and La Liga has gradually increased its influence from the top five, especially Barcelona's unprecedented six championships, which pushed Spanish football to the top. To the world, Real Madrid has also regained its glory because of the Champions League. Of course, the face of Spanish football is still Barcelona.

It's just that Barcelona seems to have begun to decline in the past two years.

The UEFA Champions League has stopped in the quarter-finals for two consecutive seasons, coupled with the hustle and bustle of Neymar's transfer rumors in MSN, it indicates that the Barcelona dynasty is about to collapse.

But at least for now, today, Barcelona is still the Barcelona with super attacking power.

……

After the last game against Real Madrid, Mourinho raised a question at the team summary meeting after the game, how to deal with a technical team?
Because Manchester United used to deal with Premier League teams. Compared with La Liga teams, they are a little rough technically. This season, Manchester United will face more different types of teams when they enter the Champions League, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. The team represented by the combination of skills and tactics, if they deal with the Premier League team in the same way as before, there will be big problems.

Just like the last 70 minutes or so after Ye Tiantian played, they were kicked 1-2 by Real Madrid's second team.

The players expressed their thoughts on this issue one after another.

Mourinho wrote everyone's thoughts on the blackboard.

"Crush your opponent technically."

"Strengthen the physical confrontation and let the opponent's technique be discounted."

"Strengthen the marking protection of individual players to prevent opponents from breaking in easily."

"..."

Subsequently, in response to these ideas, Mourinho asked everyone to comment on their pros and cons.

It is definitely feasible to use technology to fight against opponents, and it is what Manchester United has been doing before, but the question is what to do when the opponent surpasses our players in individual points?Or, what about when our skills are unable to break through the opponent's defense?

So, using technology to combat this, Mourinho wrote everyone's final consensus on it: "Individual breakthroughs, teams avoid."

It means that when we encounter a breakthrough, we should still make a breakthrough, but on the whole, we should relatively reduce such opportunities.

Strengthening the body against this point has been approved by all.

They all play football, knowing that the levels shown by confrontation and no confrontation are completely different, and the levels of weak confrontation and strong confrontation are different.

The inevitable problem brought about by strong confrontation is foul.

But fouls and cards are two different things.

This requires everyone to keep trying.

Try the judgment scale of the referee on duty, because the same action may be a card in the eyes of a certain referee, and it may be normal in the eyes of some referees.After all, referees are also human beings with various hidden tendencies.

Of course, you should also pay attention to your defensive actions, because most of the fouls that reach the card level are directed at people and may cause players to be injured.

Therefore, Mourinho wrote: "Fight with all your strength, standardize your actions, and please the referee."

Regarding strengthening the marking protection of individual players, Matic's statement won Mourinho's heart.

Matic said: "For the opponent's special player, we can make a set. As soon as he holds the ball, the set is tightened from all sides. There must be two players in front of him, one on the side and the back, and the other. One side. Such a set can leak a small side, but only to the back route, which is also in line with the time required for the frontcourt to return to defense."

The set he was talking about was the Messi special set used by Mourinho when Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona.

At that time, Messi was already in full swing, and he was omnipotent in shooting.

But in the two rounds against Inter Milan, Inter Milan restricted him to death because Mourinho used this trick.

Cambiasso and others have done a perfect job on Messi's defense.

Whenever Messi holds the ball, four people immediately double-team from four directions, not only pressing, but also blocking his passing space.

Coupled with the tough style of the Inter Milan players and Messi's relatively thin body, the combination of several items, the coal boss can only cry helplessly.

Therefore, the special care for individual players was also written on the board by Mourinho.

Through this activity, the whole team has unified their minds and is full of hope for the future.

After all, they are already preparing for success outside the Premier League!

After unifying the mind, there will be training, and more competition tests to discover and solve problems.

……

Thoughts have been unified, and special training has also come up, but it does not mean that they have acquired this skill.

In the game against Barcelona, ​​Mourinho still used a mix of main substitutes and 1/3 of the youth team to start. Ye Tian continued to sit on the bench, but he sat next to Mourinho and listened to Mourinho the whole time. Neo's commentary on the game.

Mainly on the defensive end.

Ye Tian kicked a free man, he needs to learn.

In the game against Real Madrid, he proved that his position was shifted back, his attack power was stronger, and his defense did not fail.

But Mourinho asked for more.

He needs Ye Tian to command Manchester United's defense.

Manchester United's back line does not have the Poseidon needle, and there are no players like Terry and Materazzi who can rest assured. This is the pain in Mourinho's heart.

The Manchester United players on the field were focused, but Matic moved a little slower. Although the cover was made, it could not effectively restrain the impact of MSN's complete set.

In particular, Su Ya usually goes away with one touch, and Messi's dribbling always finds Matic's turn to make a breakthrough.

"If you're on the court, what I need you to do is you go cover after they break through this set."

Mourinho said to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian was a little surprised by this, why didn't he just let himself be on the front line of defense, but instead use it as a supplementary defense?
Mourinho explained this: "You are in the defensive position, which has two advantages. You can command the defense and maintain an offensive posture at any time."

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Tian expressed his understanding.

When playing against Real Madrid, he was on the defensive line and defended directly, so in more than 20 minutes, he had 5 steals.

If he conducts command and assists in defense on the side, although the data will drop, the team's offense and defense will become more stable.

穆里尼奥并没有直接套用德国的3-5-2自由人战术，而是让叶天站后防线前方打3-6-1，虽然具体的时候会有一些变化，但这也代表了他也非常看重叶天的个人进攻能力。

What he meant was to let Manchester United's defense solve the problem at the first level. If not, Ye Tian would return to the front of the goalkeeper and continue to command the back line to defend and help.

……

Against Barcelona, ​​Manchester United lost 0-1.

The only goal of the game was scored by Neymar.

But it was Su Ya who made outstanding team contributions.

Messi's through pass to Neymar has been intercepted by Valencia.

But somehow, Valencia fell and lost control of the ball.

Su Ya inserted diagonally from the side and actively blocked Smalling who was going to get the ball.

This allows Neymar space for a second possession and a shot.

Su Ya's offense and team awareness are indeed top-notch!
Manchester United's trip to the United States ended with 4 wins, 1 tie (penalty win) and 1 loss.

But more importantly, they have accumulated experience facing technical teams, which will continue to guide them this season.

Especially in the match against Barcelona, ​​they froze Messi most of the time, which made them see the correctness of their methods and have more confidence in the future!

Next, they will continue to run in training and continue to improve their defensive strength.

Then, on August 8th, they will compete with Real Madrid for the UEFA Super Cup at the Tospoulos Philip II Stadium in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia.

Therefore, before that, they have to go to Sweden to pick up their team's top scorer last season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

According to Ye Tian, ​​Lingard and others, Zlatan has been waiting to get rusty, if they don't pick him up, he will go crazy, and he will never pass the ball to others next season, just score 100+ It's a ball.
