Super Coach

Many fans nowadays often say that there are fewer and fewer beautiful games!

What kind of game is called beautiful?

It all depends on personal needs and pursuits, defense and offense, or balance, both can be beautiful!

But there is one thing that must be possessed whether it is offense or defense, and that is awareness.

Awareness includes many types, such as running without the ball, game vision, game thinking, etc., these are all components of consciousness.

To put it more vividly, when you are in a game, you look around and you are surrounded by players, opponents and teammates, and everyone is moving. How do you know where your position and position are at any time and at any time?

This is the basis for a player to integrate into the game!

Integrating into the game is just the beginning. Next, you have to figure out, should I leave my position? If I'm leaving my own position, how do I attack my opponent's position? If I have to hold my position, how do I prevent my opponent from attacking my position?

If I dribble forward, how do I ensure that I pass the ball effectively and where does it go?

People who don't play football in person will never understand that a player on the court is like being in the traffic of a strange metropolis. If you don't have a comprehensive understanding of the situation, I'm sorry, you are lost. !

All drivers who have lost their way in a big city should know what it feels like: confused, hesitant, not knowing what to do, afraid of traffic lights, feeling anxious as soon as they turn a corner, and then in the end, they are I was so exhausted that I found myself back to where I started.

Funny?

No,

Not funny at all!

Players on the court are like drivers driving in a metropolis. If they don't want to get lost, the driver must be familiar with the routes of the metropolis and the environment of the city. He must know which road is going where and how to get there. destination.

The driver is lost because of his ignorance of the city, and the player is lost because of his ignorance of the game. Both of these ignorances are actually due to a very important reason, their vision is limited.

Whether in the city or on the court, all we can see is what is in front of us. Unlike fans standing in the stands overlooking the whole situation, they can only see what their own eyes see, so when helping a When a player integrates into the team, in addition to instilling tactical concepts, he must also be taught how to learn to overlook the overall situation from a higher level.

This is very difficult, really, believe me, this is very difficult, because it requires full dedication and players need to learn how to use their brains and how to develop their creativity. There are fewer and fewer such players in today's football world. .

Many head coaches today are always trying every possible means to restrict players and require players to play according to his requirements and tactics. This is the most elementary stage. The more advanced stage is to release the creativity of players and let them adapt to the needs of the game. , based on their own understanding of the game, they can run and chase freely.

I don’t know if this kind of free football is the most beautiful, but at least, in my mind and in my pursuit, it is the most beautiful football!

…

In the pre-match press conference and on Weibo, Yang Cheng asserted that the match against Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao would be very exciting and beautiful, because he, like Bielsa, is passionate about football. Especially those who pursue beautiful football.

Yang Cheng has always had admiration for this tactical lunatic. In his opinion, Bielsa is a reformer who dares to try, but unfortunately, usually reformers do not end well in the end. Bielsa And his Argentina is that kind of tragedy.

In the 2002 World Cup, Argentina failed to qualify for the group stage. This was definitely not just a tactical reason. Bad luck and a cheating group draw were also important factors. The weather and venue were also responsible. If we want to think more deeply, Then perhaps it can only be said that Bielsa is too aggressive.

Yang Cheng remembers that when Argentina was eliminated from the group, a famous Argentine player said that with Bielsa’s tactics and staffing, he would never win the World Cup because he was too late. Way ahead of its time!

But Bielsa is Bielsa. After the setback in Argentina, he has not changed his pursuit of offensive football at all, nor has his concept of exerting strong pressure on opponents. What has changed is his adjustment at the tactical level, and even more The emphasis on change and efficiency is evident from Chile in the World Cup in South Africa to today's Athletic Bilbao.

Cherish heroes and value heroes, Yang Cheng appreciates Bielsa, so why not a lunatic?

Even before the game started, former Argentina World Cup champion coach Menotti expressed his position in his column. He supported Yang Cheng's team to defeat Bielsa, but he expressed his views on this final.

“The game may be lost, but more importantly, what cannot be ignored is the way the game is played and the process of how to get the result, so that people can walk off the plane back with a halo of pride and dignity, regardless of the result!

Menotti knows Bielsa well, but the madman does not disappoint those who believe in him.

In this game at the Calderon Stadium, Bielsa's tactics were equally impressive.

Although he had just suffered a complete defeat against Real Madrid in the league, Bielsa did not change his tactical play at all. He knew clearly that he was beyond his capabilities, but he still insisted on playing the game in his own way.

Such opponents are rare. At least among the opponents Yang Cheng has encountered, there are not many people who can persist in doing this. Bielsa, Pellegrini, Ferguson and others are all, but without exception, The final score always ends with a big score.

Therefore, when seeing the starting lineups of both sides, the on-site commentator gave a preview, thinking that this would be a wonderful final, worthy of all fans' recollection and tasting.

Bielsa did enough homework before the game. He specifically trained on Real Madrid's pressing style. He asked all frontcourt players to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense. It is best to force Real Madrid to directly kick, and then Then take advantage of the high ball in the backcourt to control the ball in your own hands.

In order to achieve this, Bielsa adopted a more extreme defensive method, man-to-man, because in his view, although man-to-man has disadvantages, the benefits are also obvious. There is no need to worry about being indiscriminately beaten by Real Madrid players. The movement of the ball disrupts the team's defensive formation, but the disadvantage is equally obvious, that is, the weaker side will definitely have to pay more.

Despite the tight pressure, Bielsa requires all players not to perform high-risk tackles. What he requires players to do is to stick to their opponents, forcing Real Madrid players to be unable to move and pass as desired. Cooperate with the ball.

After seeing Bielsa's tactics clearly, Yang Cheng had to admire Bielsa's courage and determination. At least he dared to use tough and uncompromising tactics when facing Real Madrid. This in itself is already a sign of success. This is a very difficult thing, especially since this game is the King's Cup final.

A madman is a madman! Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head.

Raul could tell that Yang Cheng was praising Bielsa, because judging from the 20 minutes after the opening, the game between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao was evenly matched, and neither side could take advantage of the other.

But despite this, Real Madrid still relied on its strong strength to take the initiative in the game, while Athletic Bilbao was in a passive defensive state, but no one was able to create an effective threat.

Should we make adjustments now? Raul felt that time was almost up.

Yang Cheng nodded, Then what do you think we should do?

Raul frowned, They rely on man-to-man tactics to interfere with our defense. The purpose is clear. They don't want our players' movement and position changes to disrupt their formation and defensive layout. I think we should seize this opportunity. We use one point to make a fuss, encourage players to break through multiple times, and rely on our personal strength to break through them at one point, create chaos, and then attack the opponent's entire defense!

Yang Cheng kept nodding, From point to point, that's good, what else?

Raul was stunned, and he thought of a solution. For a while, he didn't have any better ideas.

Another way is to let our deep players participate more actively in the offense. Did you notice that Llorente is not fast, but whether it is Kompany, Ramos or Thiago? Silva, We have an advantage in terms of speed, and we have an advantage in numbers, so we can completely penetrate the back line with the ball and open up Athletic Bilbao's defense.

Yang Cheng always looked at Raul when he spoke. He noticed that there seemed to be a little worry in Raul's eyes and smiled slightly, The best defense is offense. If you are worried about the risk of three defenders pressing, Xavi? Alonso's defensive midfielder can move further back to better protect the defense.

After hearing this, Raul couldn't help but feel ashamed, because he also watched the progress of the game, but he could only think of one way, but Yang Cheng came up with two ways, which meant that there was a conflict between the two of them. The gap between tactics and on-the-spot command levels.

Don’t underestimate these two gaps. If you just follow Raul’s proposal, Bielsa can easily restrict it again as soon as he adjusts. But according to Yang Cheng’s idea, if a two-pronged approach is used, Bielsa wants to solve Real Madrid at the same time. It is undoubtedly very difficult to make two adjustments and plug your own loopholes at the same time.

Thinking of this, Raul couldn't help but admire Yang Cheng from the bottom of his heart for his handling of the team, as well as his use and insight into tactics. At least he has this skill that Raul currently does not have. This is what Yang Cheng has experienced after ten years. The skills he has developed after several years of accumulation are the reflection of his coaching ability.

Of course, sometimes this kind of tactical application and adjustment is not omnipotent. If the players do not have enough ability or awareness to execute it, no matter how good the tactics and adjustments are, they will be in vain.

…………

…………

There is a way for an expert to know whether something is there or not as soon as he takes action.

As soon as Yang Cheng made the adjustment, the situation on the scene immediately changed.

In the 24th minute, Thiago? Silva passed to David? Silva, the latter pulled to the left to get the ball and formed a breakthrough. After Ronaldinho attracted the attention of the defensive player on the left, David? Silva passed the ball to the right post at the back post. Kaka, with the support of Messi and Aguero, suddenly ran to the point and scored Bilbao with the pass that was just around the corner. The competitive goal, 1:0!

After scoring the goal, Kaka rushed out excitedly. He kept running on the court and rushed to the front of the home team's coaching bench. He hugged their head coach tightly. This was their The goal celebration ceremony was agreed upon before. In the next three games, once they score a goal, they will celebrate with Yang Cheng.

Bielsa seemed very depressed. The two reasons that the madman was most worried about were physical fitness and winning cards, but unexpectedly, during the game, these two factors did not become a problem for Athletic Bilbao. Instead, Real Madrid suddenly broke through. Athletic Bilbao's defense caused errors of their own that led to goals.

What does Bielsa say about this?

Soon, only 7 minutes passed. In the 32nd minute, Real Madrid's breakthrough disrupted Athletic Bilbao's defense again. This time it was Messi from the right who dribbled the ball past Bilbao. Atletico's left wing was in chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to send the ball into the penalty area. Aguero grabbed the spot and shot, but it was saved by the goalkeeper. After getting the ball near the penalty spot, Ronaldinho easily pushed the ball and shot again. Passed through Athletic Bilbao's goal, 2:0!

After the Portuguese scored, he still went to Yang Cheng to celebrate. Bielsa immediately saw the problem.

The two consecutive goals were almost initiated by the Real Madrid defender dribbling the ball forward. This obviously disrupted Athletic Bilbao's defensive system. The players missed people in order to mark people. These are all human beings. The biggest problem with man-marking.

Bielsa quickly made adjustments. He asked Llorente to strengthen the blocking of Real Madrid's back line. At the same time, he asked both wingers to retract, and the midfielder also retracted, firmly clamping down on Real Madrid's offensive combination, trying to stabilize the situation first, and then Slowly plot a counterattack.

Bielsa's adjustments quickly dragged the game into a deadlock, which lasted until the second half.

Have you noticed, Raul? Yang Cheng smiled and asked Raul next to him. Belsa started to be a little scared, so he always arranged one more defensive force than us on the back line. The purpose It’s just to be able to fill the loopholes caused by the man-to-man break and retreat.”

Yang Cheng's adjustment was very successful, but Bielsa's response was also not bad.

Now that the game has progressed, it can almost be said that it is no longer a matter of the score, but a tactical confrontation between the head coaches of both sides to see who is the better.

If Yang Cheng continues to allow Athletic Bilbao to lock down Real Madrid's offense, then even if he wins this game, it will be a disgraceful win because he was eventually blocked by Bielsa and unable to move.

Since he wants one more person than us, I'll add some fire to him!

At this point, Yang Cheng waved his hand and immediately replaced Ramos with Klose. He actually started a 4-forward tactic in front, and at the end of the defense, there were only 2 central defenders left. Among them, Kompany's The main responsibility is to watch Llorente.

Not only was Raul surprised by this substitution, but Bielsa was also surprised and felt sad at the same time because Yang Cheng was forcing him to go crazy together.

Everyone says I'm a lunatic, but in my opinion, he is the lunatic, and he is the smartest lunatic in the world! Bielsa said with a wry smile.

The reason why I say this is because Yang Cheng replaced the fourth forward, which means that if Bielsa still wants to maintain the numerical advantage, he must add a defender and eliminate an offensive player. Since then, Athletic Bilbao's offensive threat to Real Madrid has been greatly weakened. Real Madrid seems to have only two defenders, but because the pressure it faces is much less, the solidity of the defense is also guaranteed.

If anything, Bielsa feels that Yang Cheng's substitution really fully demonstrates the concept of offense is the best defense, and more importantly, he has no choice but to follow Yang Cheng. Makoto leaves.

After all, Real Madrid is still too strong!

Just when Bielsa was hesitant to follow Yang Cheng, Real Madrid scored again.

Ronaldinho forced a breakthrough from the left and then entered the penalty area, attracting the defensive attention and then knocked back, David? Silva passed the ball diagonally to the right rib of the penalty area. After Messi got the ball, he curled the ball and hit the far corner of the goal, 3:0!

Real Madrid, who scored consecutive goals, seemed to be very motivated, while Athletic Bilbao began to slump, because 76 minutes had passed until now, and there was not much time left, but the score was 3 points behind. Everyone can see that Real Madrid has a guaranteed chance of victory.

Bielsa seemed to have given up on the game, and finally chose to replace two young players to practice. Yang Cheng also quickly made two other substitutions, both of which were replaced by young players from Castilla, to give them some training. Opportunity.

In the end, in the Copa del Rey final at the Calderon Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 with the goals of Kaka, Ronaldinho and Messi, and won the second place in the new season. A championship, and because the league championship trophy has not yet been received, the Copa del Rey became the first championship trophy Real Madrid received this season.

After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the fans in the audience stood up and applauded the wonderful performance of the two teams. Whether it was the victory of Real Madrid or the failure of Athletic Bilbao, this game The process was very exciting, and neither side showed any reservation or conservatism. It could be described as a bloody hand-to-hand battle.

Real Madrid's final victory was more importantly due to Yang Cheng's on-the-spot command and the players' personal strength. However, Bielsa's team did not lose completely. At least they won at the beginning and during the game. He won the respect of everyone, especially Bielsa's opponent Yang Cheng.

So after the game, Yang Cheng walked towards Bielsa immediately and gave recognition and appreciation to this famous lunatic.

But what I didn't expect was that Bielsa immediately said, From today on, if anyone calls me a lunatic, I will fight him, because in my opinion, you are a lunatic, and a smart lunatic!

Regarding this, Yang Cheng didn't know whether to be happy or cry!
