Chapter 75
Although, Jonathan Wilson's historical masterpiece of football tactics "Inverting the Pyramid" taught everyone a word: the tactical system is always close to perfection, but it cannot be really perfect. There is no perfect tactics, only continuous improvement.

but!

There is not a complete tactical invention that can really deal with the false nine tactics, not even a tactical master like Mourinho. He has tried many methods, except for high pressure or arranging more defensive players. (at Inter Milan), it hardly worked.

The third line defense will leave too much space against many offensive players, which is why it cannot be used as a natural choice against false nines.

When the tactical invention against the false nine finally appears, for example, a new type of defensive player (such as Makelele position, etc.), other positions (positions that restrain the new type of defensive player) will replace the current false The number nine takes over football and will prosper for a while, all revealing the inexorable cycle of football.

In terms of position, there is also a difference between a false number nine and a number nine and a half.

Nine and a half, more like what we call a shadow striker.

The definition of shadow forward in the football dictionary is: between the striker and the midfielder, the position is not fixed, and the left and right are often alternated.Players in this position often have solid and excellent foot skills, a good dribbling and breakthrough level, and it is best to have a passing ability.And he should have a powerful center in front of him as a cover.

Nine and a half is a key - there is a strong center in front as a cover!
In the era when Serie A was in vogue, forwards like Baggio and Del Piero, who could both shoot and pass, were called number nine and a half. A pure classical midfielder like Dane.

Although their positions are shown parallel to the center forward on the tactical board, their actual positions on the field are interspersed between the center forward and the attacking midfielder.

Usually in the middle of the offense, the nine and a half will run behind the center or on one side without the ball. Once the center is tackled or successfully blocked, the center should take action to protect the ball, or distribute the ball to no one. location, at this time.The nine and a half players will immediately take the ball and break through to create scoring opportunities.

One of the most important offensive methods of the nine and a half is to seek a second point of attack through running on the flanks, grab the center player's second point of attack after the attack is blocked, and ambush behind the center for a back row insertion.

The nine-and-a-half player is sometimes a victim of the coach's tactical board.

Because these players have no advantages in physical strength and body, except for the unique football king Maradona, most nine and a half players will be replaced by more energetic substitute players in the middle.

Although the world football is now paying more and more attention to No. [-] and a half, there is an eternal name in the history of No. [-] and a half that they will never be able to surpass.

Forever Prince of Melancholy - Roberto Baggio!

An elegant figure, a melancholy look, and a ponytail that has long been unknown will always exist in people's memory of the peak Serie A.

Ye Weichao also played the position of number nine and a half.

In the Rizhiquan team that has not yet been acquired by Fujixun, sometimes Cao Yu will let Ji Wenjie, who has not yet learned how to play the midfielder, start.

As a stand-up center at the forefront, Ji Wenjie used his height advantage to well cover Ye Weichao behind him.

But after all, Ji Wenjie is just an ordinary, trembling young player. In the Chinese League One, where the competitiveness is generally strengthened, this style of play was quickly taken away by Cao Yu.

It's very simple. Ji Wenjie in front can't hold the ball. He is indeed tall enough, but he is not flexible with his feet, and he does not have an advantage in physical fitness. Jie is more like a bamboo pole in the defense line of steel and iron.

As for why Ye Weichao was placed on the false nine instead of Yin Hongbo, who is more capable of handling the ball, this is more of a helpless choice for Cao Yu.

The key to why the pseudo-nine tactic is popular in foreign countries, but there are almost no teams in China that use this style of play, is the choice of the false nine.

False nines with strong foreign players are unwilling to come to China’s football desert, and domestic players really can’t do the false nines on the tactical board. Some players have tried false nines, but the head coach didn’t use them for three games , Immediately denied his choice, very simple, kicked like shit.

After all, Yin Hongbo is not a forward player. He is more of a midfielder or winger on the field. After all, his body does not have an advantage in the front line.

Although Ye Weichao does not have Yin Hongbo's dexterous footwork, he is very familiar with Cao Yu's tactical system, but he can achieve frontcourt organization that other "big names" in the team cannot.

Ye Weichao, who is the false No. [-], can not only link up with the two wingers at the top, but also can entangle the opponent's defensive midfielder when defending, although there are few such midfielders in the Chinese Premier League. However, Lao Cao is also planning for a rainy day. After all, after entering the Chinese Super League, there will be a lot of teams that play behind the organizational midfielder.

In this home game against Tianjin Songjiang, Ye Weichao's performance in the false nine position also made people's eyes shine.

Only in the 3rd minute of the game, Tianjin Songjiang's "iron barrel formation" was pierced by the Fujixun team's midfielder.

After Yin Hongbo, Ye Weichao, and Li Yuming made consecutive passes in the frontcourt, a large area of ​​holes appeared on the right side of the Tianjin Songjiang team. Like a sharp knife, Li Yuming stabbed fiercely into the right rib of the Tianjin Songjiang team's defense line. Everyone tried their best to surround Li Yuming.

Surrounded by 4 defenders, Li Yuming easily passed the ball to Ye Weichao, who was on the right side of the middle. upper left corner.

At this time, the game was only in the 4th minute, and the Fujixun team had already gained the lead with Ye Weichao's volley.

As a result, Tianjin Songjiang's defense line was in disarray, and the defense repeatedly sounded the alarm, which also made their goalkeeper rush up and down in a hurry.

The Tianjin Songjiang team was lucky. In the first half, their goal frame was enough to help them block the two must-go goals of the Fujixun team.

One was Mao Jianqing's left-footed volley after cutting in from the right. The ball had already bypassed the goalkeeper's save, but unfortunately, due to the tricky angle, the ball hit the outside of the right post hard and popped out. bottom line.
