Super Coach

Yang Cheng has always felt that football is very similar to movies!

The reason why I say they are similar is mainly because these two industries are not only highly exposed industries, nor just because they both specialize in producing superstars, but because the two industries are very similar in nature. .

For example, the film industry is an inherited industry. From directorial techniques to technical background, it relies on the continuous accumulation, continuous progress, and continuous improvement of countless film workers, and then has the current advanced film industry technology, and the same is true in the football field. In this way, everything from technical application to tactical formations has evolved through continuous accumulation and inheritance.

This is why Yang Cheng always refuses to admit that Real Madrid is the strongest team in history, because there is no comparison at all!

Without the forefathers, where would Real Madrid come from?

Another very similar point lies in the different pursuit angles.

Movies can be roughly divided into two types, art and business. If you pursue artistic movies, you must put an end to the impetuous commercial atmosphere. If you want to pursue business, you cannot be overly artistic. You must make movie audiences happy to watch the movie. For many people, the two seem to be opposites.

The same is true for football tactics, which are divided into defense and offense. If you boldly attack, there will be problems in defense. If you defend resolutely, your offensive ability will definitely be weakened. This depends on what your specific pursuit is.

However, there are always a very small number of film directors who are capable enough to direct a film so that art and commercialization coexist and skillfully achieve a balance. Therefore, there are also a very small number of football head coaches who can Lead a football team to achieve a balance between offense and defense, and defend while attacking. Attack on defense.

If this balance is used theoretically. It's easy, in one sentence, but if you want to think about it. It is often difficult to grasp the essence of this sentence, and even countless people may not be able to grasp it after using it for a lifetime. And there must be sufficient strength as a prerequisite.

Strength determines everything. If you don't have enough strength, you can only play partial subjects!

It’s not that Diego Simeone doesn’t want Atletico Madrid to play good-looking and exciting football, but he knows very well that with Atletico Madrid’s current strength and his current coaching ability, it’s not possible to reach this point yet. Defensive counterattack is the most suitable. His current situation. So he chose to play defensive counterattack.

If he is not strong enough and cannot take care of the defense of both the wing and the center at the same time, then he can only choose the center!

The football field is only that big. There are only so many people. Wherever the strength lies, you can take care of this. If you can’t take care of it, what should you do? You can only make choices, make choices, avoid the important and take the easy!

Many people are surprised,

So why can Real Madrid?

The point is, Real Madrid is the strongest team in the world today. They have an unparalleled ability to control the game. They can decide how the game is played, how the situation changes, and lead their opponents, so they can get rid of this problem to the greatest extent. And unless you can take control of the game away from Real Madrid, otherwise, you can only accommodate Real Madrid and play!

I have to admit that Diego Simeone's starting tactics were excellent, and indeed very good, especially when he boldly gave up the two wings and moved the two full-backs closer to the center to restrain Real Madrid's two wingers. Coupled with the fact that Gabi and Thiago, two deep midfielders, have brought great difficulties to Real Madrid's offense.

The attitude of the Argentinian head coach is very clear. Even from the beginning, his goal has been very accurate, that is, all his tactics are based on ensuring that Real Madrid does not score goals and does not let Real Madrid win. It doesn't matter if it's a draw, if you can win, you've made money!

It cannot be said that Diego Simeone is conservative. His strategy is very consistent with the current situation and strength of Atletico Madrid. He set up a battle array to confront Real Madrid and ensured that Atletico Madrid would die more miserably than anyone else. Therefore, Simeone just made a very pragmatic decision. Decide.

However, it is obvious that Yang Cheng is still not satisfied with his students.

…

Rafa, do you know where the biggest mistake Simeone made from the beginning of this game? Yang Cheng asked Benitez with a smile. Although the game lasted for half an hour, Real Madrid still Still couldn't break the deadlock on the court, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. On the contrary, he felt like he had a chance to win.

Benitez watched the game and said lightly, We can't keep up with us!

Yes! Yang Cheng affirmed, I have said before that the era of fixing players in a certain area has passed. Today's football is about mobility, because mobility means suddenness and being caught off guard!

In Yang Cheng's view, Real Madrid's biggest advantage compared with other teams in current football is not actually technology.

To be honest, they are all professional players. There may be a gap in ball skills, but it is not as big as imagined. In other words, it is not impossible to build a team that can catch up with Real Madrid in ball skills. It is so difficult, at least with Spain’s youth training talent pool, coupled with the huge manpower and material resources of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams, it is not impossible.

But why can't they catch up with Real Madrid after so many years?

Even Yang Cheng dared to say arrogantly that they would not be able to catch up with Real Madrid in another three years. Why?

Not because of technology, but because of awareness!

What Yang Cheng emphasizes the most is running without the ball, and smart running without the ball does not rely on running non-stop, nor running hard, but moving with wisdom.

Sometimes, if you take one step, the effect is equivalent to someone else running for an hour. Therefore, on the court, you can see that some players are very lazy, but they can always play an important role at critical moments. This is because he is good enough. Smart and knows how to use his brain to play football.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not encouraging those lazy players, but is explaining a very simple and easy-to-understand truth.

Real Madrid's biggest advantage is that the tactical system created by Yang Cheng allows every player to move intelligently according to the situation on the field, find the opponent's gaps, seize the opponent's space, and attack the opponent. loopholes, this is Real Madrid’s biggest advantage!

Running without the ball is not just for offense, but can also be used freely in defense. But Atletico Madrid obviously doesn't have this yet. In other words, Simeone has left mainstream European leagues for long enough, although he has coached in Argentina for many years. But he has been out of touch with the world's most advanced football level for long enough that he can no longer keep up.

With Atletico Madrid's strength and level, Simeone's coaching so far deserves recognition. But he still has a lot of room for progress and improvement. At least Yang Cheng is never wrong in his judgment of people. He firmly believes that Simeone has this ability.

“We made a stupid mistake running the ball in the first half!”

In the visiting team's locker room, Yang Cheng used a tablet computer to show a running route map from the super coaching system. In it, he clicked on the running maps of the six players in the midfield and frontcourt, and found that a large part of them The running routes are all closer to the middle, and there are not many straight routes along the side roads.

Many of our players ran towards the same area. Didn't you notice that their full-backs shrank very much towards the center? Yang Cheng's tone was still calm. There was no excitement at all, more like inquiry and analysis.

The opponent shrinks the defense line to the center, and it is obvious that they want us to attack the center more. If we follow their plan, it will be what they want, so we have to do the opposite. Actively open the front line, create width, and use Width to create holes in their defense!”

With Yang Cheng's analysis and the display on the tablet, everyone can intuitively know what they want to do.

Cristiano and Leo, you should be more active on the wings in the second half. Since their defense likes to shrink, let them shrink. We attack from the wings, widen their defense and create loopholes!

Ronaldinho and Messi nodded frequently after hearing this.

Kaká, De La Rede, you have to be more active in backing up. Once there is a hole in the defense, hit me decisively and boldly. But all of you must pay attention. Once the ball enters Atletico Madrid's half, our You can’t handle the ball too casually, we made several mistakes on this point in the first half!”

David and Andres, your task in the second half is more to move on the wing. Remember, try to press forward and support Ronaldinho and Messi's activities on the wing. Once Ronaldinho and Messi After completing the breakthrough from the wing, you can cut to the center and seize the holes they created to hit, do you understand?

Understood, boss! David Silva and Iniesta both nodded in agreement.

This is a very effective tactical play, because Ronaldinho and Messi are both players with very strong personal abilities. If they take the ball and rush to the wing, the opponent will have to have at least two people to guard him. The defensive attention is definitely on them, which can easily expose loopholes.

In this case, if David Silva and Iniesta take advantage of the loopholes and cut in from the wing, the effect will be very obvious whether they attack by themselves or plan for their teammates to score.

After Yang Cheng analyzed this round, he was immediately recognized by everyone. Because the head coach said this, the originally difficult situation became clear again. At least everyone knew what they were going to do.

…………

…………

Sometimes, the situation on the football field may not always go according to the head coach's intention. The ever-changing game cannot allow the head coach to clearly anticipate all possibilities, which requires the players on the field to be flexible.

Outstanding players must have such abilities!

Just like in this game, Simeone also guessed that Real Madrid would strengthen their offense in the second half, so their defense in the second half consciously focused on the wing. Real Madrid hit the wing twice at the beginning, but neither of them had any effect. , there was no breakthrough in the situation.

Yang Cheng was obviously aware of the changes in Atletico Madrid. He was also aware of his own problems and immediately gave instructions to Kaka, asking Kaka, David Silva and Iniesta to press forward. , causing interference to the opponent's center.

An effect was quickly formed, but it was completely opposite to what Yang Cheng arranged during the halftime break.

Kaka picked up the ball at the front of the penalty area. At this time, David Silva and Ronaldinho had already pressed forward and entered Atletico Madrid's penalty area. They were both waiting for opportunities. This made Atletico Madrid's defense in the center and left The pressure was relatively high, and their off-the-ball movement completely attracted the attention of Atletico Madrid's defense players.

If you stand in the stands and observe carefully, you will find that while everyone is deep in the middle and left side of Atletico Madrid's penalty area, Messi consciously keeps cruising in the right corner of the penalty area. Neither forward penetration. Instead of shrinking to the middle, Iniesta's forward movement interfered with the attention of Atletico Madrid left back Felipe.

If we say, Yang Cheng's plan for the second half is to let the wing pull the opponent's defense. If opportunities are created for the center, then the current situation is exactly the opposite, with the center putting pressure on the opponent's defense and goal. Create opportunities for the wing.

Kaka quickly passed the ball to Messi. When the latter got the ball, he moved forward. There was no defensive player within about 10 meters around him. He could face him almost without any threat. Facing the opponent's goalkeeper, he shot a straight shot directly through Atletico Madrid's goal, 1:0!

The whole process sounds cumbersome and complicated, but in fact it happens in an instant. Real Madrid used the center to press, creating holes for the wings, and Iniesta attracted Felipe. Created a gap for Messi.

After seeing Messi excitedly rush out of the penalty area. While celebrating the goal excitedly, Simeone slapped his forehead hard. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He really couldn't figure it out, Why did the right side leak out?

The court was changing rapidly. The Real Madrid players were so smart in their off-the-ball movement. Our players obviously couldn't keep up, so they were pulled away! Boggs was also very helpless.

If Felipe had not followed Iniesta at that time and had chosen to continue watching Messi, then Kaká would have passed the ball to the unmarked Iniesta. The latter would have been even worse after getting the ball, directly facing him. In front of the goal, at least Messi has to play at an angle, and Iniesta can score by sending it directly forward.

Real Madrid has obviously changed the direction of its attack and is no longer limited to the center! Boggs could see it.

Simeone nodded, Let them pay attention to Ronaldinho and Messi. I found that their positions are closer to the wing. It is obvious that our Caesar has changed his offensive strategy!

When Yang Cheng was mentioned, Simeone couldn't help but turn his head and looked at the visiting team's coaching bench. He found that Yang Cheng was drinking from a bottle of water. He also smiled and raised the water towards him, as if he wanted to drink with him. But Simeone obviously didn't have this interest and nodded slightly, feeling extremely irritable.

Atletico Madrid players quickly adjusted according to Simeone's tactics, but once Real Madrid opens up the situation, the offense will definitely come in an endless stream, sometimes from the wing, sometimes from the center, and once Atletico Madrid's defense is blocked Pulled away and immediately exhausted.

For example, this time, both Ronaldinho and Messi stood closer to the left and right sides of the penalty area. In the middle, Aguero was holding up Godin, Kaka was swimming next to Aguero, and Pereira looked at the Brazilian. , and as soon as Iniesta got the ball, Gabi immediately came up to him, but Xiaobai got ahead of Gabi and pushed the ball straight to Aguero's feet.

If it were normal times, Godin would have people around him to help defend, but now his teammates have been pulled out by Kaká, Ronaldinho and Messi. Godin faced Aguero alone, and as soon as the latter got the ball Finally, he turned around and got rid of it.

The advantage of being a small man is that he has a low center of gravity. Godin wanted to use his body to suppress Aguero, but was tricked by the Argentine devil boy. He stumbled and almost fell down. However, Aguero got rid of Godin and dribbled the ball in front of him. A single shot was formed near the penalty spot in the penalty area, and it passed the goalkeeper and entered the net. Pereira, who abandoned Kaka and chased back, had no time to stop it, 2:0!

Simeone couldn't sit still anymore and immediately rushed out of the home team's coaching bench, shouting to the players on the court with open arms, as if asking them, how on earth do you bastards play football? Don't you know how powerful Aguero is?

Soon, Simeone made a substitution, directly replacing Turan who performed poorly, and replaced him with Suarez to strengthen the defense in the middle. Suarez's position can even be said to be near the central defender. It seems that The number of defenders must be strengthened.

After Suarez was replaced, Atletico Madrid's defense seemed to have 5 players, plus two midfielders, which was not a small number, but soon, in the 78th minute, they declared defeat again.

David Silva sent a through ball to Kaká at the edge of the penalty area.

Kaka's position is also very interesting. He moved between the opponent's right back Juanfran and center back Pereira. Since Juanfran still has to watch Ronaldinho, the gap between the two is relatively large. Kaka As soon as he got the ball, he tried to charge forward. After deceiving Pereira to lose his center of gravity, the Brazilian took a step horizontally to the center and kicked off directly!

Kaka's shot came hard and urgent. The goalkeeper was positioned slightly back. Originally he thought Kaka was going to break through and create opportunities for his teammates, but unexpectedly the Brazilian chose to go it alone, and Pereira But he was easily shaken out of his position, exposing the gap in the goal.

3:0!

Simeone sat back on the home team's coaching bench again. He looked depressed because he had done everything he could, but he didn't expect that Real Madrid still scored 3 goals at the Calderon Stadium. This made him feel helpless.

However, he cannot counterattack at the last moment, because Real Madrid's current offense seems to be very comfortable. If Atletico Madrid counterattacks at this time, I don't know whether they can score, but the danger level of the goal must be much higher than that of Real Madrid. .

This is a very useless feeling, as if you have been slapped three times by someone, but you can't take it back, because if you want to slap him once, he might slap you more. How can you calculate it? Suffer, and still suffer a big loss!

Not only Simeone, but Boggs was also puzzled and surprised, because this was the first time he personally felt the strength of Real Madrid, which was completely different from what he had experienced in the stands before.

They lost, completely lost!

Because they made complete preparations, but they were still defeated by Real Madrid!

Is this Caesar? Boggs asked Simone, his tone no longer full of suspicion, but turned into awe!
