Chapter 361 The Final Battle

As for Neymar, who is still young, this time he wants to show his ambitions. He already knows that Li Yuxin supports China, but when he thinks of Li Yuxin’s advice and encouragement to him that summer, he still remembers it in his heart. Let him show his progress now!
Back at the rest hotel of the Chinese Olympic team, Ji Dong began to arrange tactics. He first thought, "In this final, we will still focus on defense and counterattack, and the starting lineup will change." Although this Olympic team has changed a lot in terms of personnel, and the style of play seems to have changed a lot.But in fact, from the beginning of Ji Dong's strategy design, the Chinese team played defensively and counterattacked.

It's just that the Olympic team counterattacks quickly, cooperates well, and has too many technical players, so it makes people think that the Olympic team is playing technical football.

Sometimes, Ji Dong felt that coaching a football match was like making a movie.

The head coach is the director, the players are the actors, and the tactics are equivalent to the script of this movie.

Before a movie starts shooting, the script must be written first, and then everyone shoots according to the script, there is a comparison.

Of course, the director can also modify the script during the shooting process, but it is impossible for any director to completely overturn the style of the script after the shooting starts, turn the original comedy into a horror film, or change the original It is definitely impossible to turn a romantic movie into an action movie, because everyone knows what a movie made in this way will look like.

So is a game!
The head coach draws up the tactics before the game, sets the tone for the game, determines how to play, and then conducts targeted training and tactical arrangements according to this tone, and instills the corresponding tactical requirements in the players.

In this case, once in the game, even if you find that your team's tactics are completely suppressed, there is nothing you can do, unless you completely overturn all the arrangements and preparations in the past period of time, but that will inevitably pay a heavy price. costs and entails enormous risks.

Therefore, generally speaking, no one is willing to do such a thing unless it is really desperate.

The most obvious one is Liverpool's miracle in Istanbul. I believe that if there is no 0:3 in the first half, and Finnan's accidental injury in the first half, if the Red Army is not forced to a desperate situation by AC Milan, Benitez will make such a move Counterattack?
Maybe, the answer is not necessarily!

Because all the head coaches are very clear in their hearts, completely overturning the pre-match arrangement and starting tactics may lead to the complete collapse of the entire team, turning into a mess, at the mercy of others
As Saki said.

"A lot of people insist that football is about letting the players express themselves, but is that really the case?"

"If all 11 players on the court only care about expressing themselves, can they win a game?"

"In my tactical definition, players need to fully express themselves within the tactical scope designed by the head coach, so I always believe that the role of the head coach will become more and more important because he needs more tactical things. Grasp the situation of the game, the means to change the game, and analyze more information.”

"All the players need to do is to make decisions within the scope of the tactical power given by the head coach. They not only have good skills and strong bodies, but also need to be able to use their talents to serve the team."

"To put it simply, to form a team is to find a group of people who know how to play football!"

In other words, according to Sacchi's understanding, the formation of any team should first have a complete tactical system, and then look for corresponding players based on this complete tactical system.

If the tactical system is to play defensive counterattacks, then the players you are looking for must not be forwards like Ruud van Nistelrooy. If the tactics are to play flank breakthroughs, then you must have an excellent flank assaulter, and then set tactical functions according to each position.

But this is just the overall situation. Every player has his own playing habits and technical details. For the same winger, there are Van der Vaart, Robben, and Dirk. Players have different tactical roles, so you have to choose.

Valdano has a very interesting sentence in his team thinking.

"In a complete tactical system, all genres should have their place, and inclusiveness is enough for a complete balance, and the self-expression of players on the field is something that no head coach should give up, because a head coach's brain can never assume the ever-changing emergencies on the football field, nor can it compete with the countless possibilities that 11 brains think about anytime, anywhere on the field, no matter how smart he is!"

"So, in the most fundamental sense, the team is the basis for building a team, but a head coach needs to rely on individual performance to help a team improve to a higher level!"

In Ji Dong's understanding, Valdano's words mean that the team is the basis for building a team, and it is the basic element that any strong team must have. However, the individual strength of the players determines what kind of height the team can achieve.

Or it can be explained in this way, Barcelona in 2012 is in full swing, that is because they are first of all a coordinated whole, but more importantly, they have one of the best top stars in the world in every position.

In addition, Capello also said that a player who is clear about his responsibilities, understands the team's tactics, and knows exactly where he is going and what to do anytime, anywhere, always appears particularly confident and calm on the court.

When Ji Dong read the team formation ideas of these famous coaches, he already had a direction and steps in his mind on how to form a team of his own. There is no doubt that the first thing is to have a complete set of tactics.

So, what kind of tactical formation should Ji Dong implement in the first team of the Chinese Olympic team?
In the end, he decided to continue to use the traditional 433 of the Chinese Olympic team, because the team is very familiar with this set of tactics from the coaching staff to the players and staff. Continuing to use 433 is undoubtedly in line with the characteristics of the Chinese Olympic team.

Then, the question arises, if we continue to use 433, how to avoid the problem of too large distance between the winger and the full back committed in the previous period?And how to solve the problem of series offensive line?How to arrange a set of diversified ball propulsion system?

Perhaps, this is difficult for many people, but Ji Dong has read so many books, his own tactical literacy is not low, and he has more than ten years of tactical knowledge than others, of course he knows the future trend.

Fundamentally speaking, the 433 tactic is not as good as the 442 in terms of space control, which requires players to use more running and skills to make up for it. For example, the distance between the forward and the winger is 442 meters longer than the traditional 10. It has an average range of 3 meters more than the four midfielders, and the full-backs have more, even like Barcelona's Alves, the coverage area is as long as 80 meters.

Mourinho's way to solve the 433 problem is to pile up a group of beast players and use non-stop running to fill these gaps, while Barcelona's way is to use ball possession and high defense, use technology and shorten space to fill these gaps.

In other words, 433 itself is a niche tactic. Only teams with a certain level of skill and running are eligible to use such a tactic. Therefore, even in 2012, 433 is still a niche and cannot become a tactic. mainstream.

For the Chinese Olympic team, Ji Dong thinks that the best way is to combine the methods of Mourinho and Barcelona to further press the opponent with a high defense, shorten the distance and space, and use more running and skillful passing and receiving to achieve the purpose of filling the space.

Because it’s very simple, in terms of skills, the players of the Chinese Olympic team can’t catch up with the Barcelona team, which means that the Chinese Olympic team can’t adopt the ball-handling style, and in terms of physical fitness, the players of the Chinese Olympic team are also inferior to Chelsea back then, so Ji Dong wanted to combine these two methods.

With the initial tactical ideas, Ji Dong will start to set the details.Especially how to entertain Neymar!
London August 2012, 08, Wembley Stadium, Olympic final

Before the start of the game, everyone listened to the head coach's last instructions before the game in the locker room.

Some head coaches don't talk much themselves, so they will leave this matter to the captain of the team.So he's going to end the part very quickly and then go out and leave the locker room space to the players themselves.

Menezes, the head coach of the Brazilian youth team, is such a person.

He didn't give a long speech before the game, but left the time for the players themselves.

After the head coach closed the locker room door as he left, the team's captain, back David Silvatore, rose to his feet.

"Three days ago, when we learned that our final was the Chinese team, we seemed to be intimidated by their names. We forgot that Brazil has won four championships in the World Youth Championship, which is the team that has won the most championships. Brazil is a team with a tradition of championships. Whether it is in the adult national team or the youth national team, Brazil has not had an Olympic gold medal until now. Today we want to make up for this shortcoming!"

"Thank you Sandro."

Having said that, Thiago Silva looked at Sandro who was still sitting in the corner.

Everyone also cast a smiling look at Sandro.

But at this time, Sandro didn't have the excitement of giving a speech in front of everyone, but lowered his head, looking very shy.

"Thank you Sandro, he made us realize ourselves again. Sandro is right, if we don't even think about it, that is the biggest failure! So in this game, no matter how strong our opponent is, we must defeat him! Because we are Brazil, we want to win the championship! We want the Olympic champion! This is what we should do!"

The lads in the locker room all followed suit.

"We want to win the championship!!!"

Menezes and his assistant were outside the locker room, and the roar could be heard through a wall and a door.

The assistant coach smiled and said, "You guys have a lot of fighting spirit!"

"This is a good thing." Menezes is also very satisfied with the state of the players.

At the same time, in the locker room of the Chinese team, Ji Dong was also mobilizing the players: "If I remember correctly, the best result of the Chinese team in the Olympics was the quarter-finals. So now we are already the best result. But will you be satisfied with that? We have defeated countless powerful enemies such as the United Kingdom... all the way to the present, just for the runner-up?"

"One step further, we can create history. Create the history of Chinese football! Do you want to be the creators of history?"

These words made the players of the Chinese team excited.

They growled: "Think!!"

Ji Dong was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.

"Very good! Brazil is the champion of the World Youth Championship. They are very strong, but remember what I told you..."

"We are stronger!!!" Before Ji Dong could say it, the players of the Chinese youth team shouted in unison.

"Very good! Come out now!"

Brazil's mobilization is over, everyone leaves the locker room, the starting players will go to the tunnel and wait, while the substitute players will go directly to the bench and wait for the game to start.

At the door, captain Thiago Silva stopped Sandro: "That was really an impressive speech, Sandro."

Sandro smiled shyly and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"We all agreed that whoever scored the goal would run to you and hug you during the celebration. This is a thank you. Thank you, Sandro, if it weren't for you, we might have lost this game in a daze."

Thiago Silva said.

Sandro waved his hand: "I'm just... I'm also a member of the team, I also want to win, I also want to win the championship, captain. So this is what I should do."

"We will win the championship! Then I will let you hold the cup with me!"

Thiago Silva said confidently.

Sandro sat on the bench and surrounded many reporters not far from him. According to visual inspection, there were more than 30 people.

These reporters surrounded both sides of the passage, carrying long guns and short cannons, aiming at the end of the passage.

Those who are about to appear are the protagonists, and I am just a supporting role that I don't care about.

But Sandro is in a good mood right now.

Brazil is a whole, as long as I can win, I am happy even if I sit on the bench all the time.

There was a commotion at the scene, and in the introduction of the live broadcast, players from both sides appeared on the field.

Those reporters quickly pressed the shutter, and fought and retreated.

Sandro turned his head and looked over, and saw two teams coming out.

He saw Zhang Hang at a glance - he was wearing the captain's armband and walking at the front of the team.

Already the captain of the national team...

It's amazing!
The Zhang Hang that Sandro knew was always so powerful.

But this time...we won't lose to you, Zhang 2!

Because we are also strong and we want to win too!

When the Brazilian players shook hands with the Chinese players before the game, Zhang Hang noticed that there was no Sandro in it, which meant that Sandro was a substitute.

Sure enough, he saw Sandro on the Brazil bench.

Zhang Hang smiled, old friend, let's see what kind of gift I give you!
