Chapter 51 Technical and tactical research during suspension of training
I was suspended by Bilic and couldn't train with the big team.This kind of punishment is actually not good for our team-the header coordination tactics between Mandzukic and me, which should have been practiced, can't be carried out now because of this.In order to be serious about discipline, Bilic would rather pay the price of precious joint training time. Does this mean that my role is actually just a dispensable option? ...

Spain, this is not an easy opponent.In the last game against Italy, we had such a difficult time. Our golden midfielder, facing a team like Italy where only the veteran Pirlo can be regarded as a superstar, could barely draw a tie and have a slight advantage. To face the world champion, the defending champion of the European Cup, the Spanish team with the world's No. Bregas, Busquets, and David Silva are powerful complements to the Spanish midfielder. Can our golden midfielder compete with our opponents in terms of gold content? ...

Since we can't train together, why don't I settle down and study our tough opponent, and do some homework for our Croatian team.

Spain, ranked No. [-] in the world, has the strongest midfield combination in the world-several handsome Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and Cesc Fabregas from the Barcelona La Masia youth training camp.At the same time, it has the strongest back line in the world-Pique, Ramos, Abeloa, Alba.Although the assist ability of the two full-backs is not the best in the world, their defensive ability is still very good.Instead, there are two central defenders—Pique and Ramos. Pique has a height advantage, and Ramos has physical advantages such as jumping. These two points allow them to play a very important role in offense. ——Although the two played for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, they can be called the two guards with swords in the defense of La Liga in Spanish football.Relatively speaking, Pique is a little frizzy in defense, which is something we can take advantage of.And Ramos has a perfect offense and defense, except that he is not particularly dominant in height, everything else is good.

If we want to break into Spain's defense, we must find a way to hit Pique's rear, or hit Ramos' head.Ramos's header skills are very good, but due to the flaws in height, if there is a person who is tall enough to suppress Ramos, then we will have an advantage in high-altitude balls.

Hmm... Isn't this suitable person me?

I am 1.9 meters tall, flexible and deadly tall. I can compete for headers and dribble, although I am not like Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic or the former great star of the French team Zinedine Zidane Smart technology, but at least not a clumsy person.I'm not heavy, with a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of only 110 kg, which is quite standard and well-proportioned, and there is no lack of muscle and strength.Speaking of which, I am far from becoming a star, what I lack may be just experience.

However, experience is something that can only be accumulated by relying on more games...

Bilic always puts me on the pitch in the 93rd minute, how can I gain more game experience like this...

……

Speaking of which, which path should I take so that I can better use my height advantage without being so clumsy and able to show the benefits of athletic talent?

Like Jan Koller of the Czech team at Euro 2004?He is 2004 meters tall, [-] centimeters taller than me. Speaking of which, he is about the same height.He can be regarded as one of the better players among the tall players. However, even in the [-] European Cup, when he played the best, he only scored two goals. Most of the time, he was playing for the Czech Republic. The team's golden midfielder played a screen and scrambled for the first high point in the frontcourt.Under Jan Kohler's high point guarantee, Liverpool striker Baros beside him found many opportunities. He scored five goals in the entire European Cup and became the top scorer.

However, Jan Kohler's flaw is that he moves very slowly, is tall and heavy, and has no problems in confrontation, but he has very strict requirements for the top of the fight. If the pass is not so in place, his ability to fight for the top will be great. discount.Fortunately, the Czech team also had a golden midfielder of a whole generation. The golden midfielder led by Nedved was paired with a great wide star like Poborski and a technical player like Rosicky. The collocation really guarantees a very high cross accuracy——

Nedved, Poboski, Rosicky, isn't such a golden midfielder very much like our current Rakitic, Perisic and Modric? !

In that year, the Czech team, trailing the Netherlands 0:2, scored three goals in a row and played the most soul-stirring game of the entire cup.Their golden midfielder played really well in that game.Does this mean that if I play forward and play for the midfield like Jan Kohler, I can tear apart the defensive lines of artistic teams like the Netherlands and Spain, plus our golden midfield opponents take turns Impact, there is a chance to break the Spanish goal? !

However, the Dutch team of that year and the Spanish team of this year are two completely different existences.Although they are all technical teams, Spain's technology is at a historical level and has already reached the level of "art".Their tikitaka tactics cannot be stopped by ordinary teams at all. The 70% ball possession rate is desperate and suffocating-it is definitely not any Dutch team, or even any country in history. What the team can do when facing strong opponents.

When we played against Italy, we barely had more than 60% of the ball possession rate. That is because the Italians themselves will voluntarily give up possession of the ball and pursue the high speed and quality of the counterattack.But, against Spain, there was basically no doubt that it would be us who would fight back.If the two forwards are both average speeders who rely on their height to make a living, then how can our counterattack speed be improved? ...

Fortunately, my body has not yet been finalized.

Although I am tall, my speed is not slow.The absolute speed of sprinting should be at least similar to that of Mandzukic. As for long-distance running, as I said, in the entire Croatian team, my 12-minute running results are generally ahead of the first group or the second group.I am still young, and my muscles have not yet fully grown. If I continue to exercise well in the future and take the road of athletic talent, is it another choice?
1.9 meters eight great star, who else?

There may be nothing to be found in football.However, there is basketball.

And, he's still the greatest.

He is the god of basketball, Michael Jordan.

He is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms. Compared with me, he is 12 kilograms lighter.This is the reason why he can fly - a flying man, not necessarily a dwarf.

If I can reduce my weight to 98 kg in the future...

Am I going to be able to... have Jordan's athletic ability!
