Super Coach

Compared with those luxurious hotels, Olivitsky Manor does not have many rooms and the facilities are not perfect, so the German team simply arranged their conference room in a small bungalow at the training ground. (Baidu search: 网, read novels and read the fastest updates)

The facilities are not very complete, but they are all there. After all, they are all brought by the national team themselves, and they can be used as soon as the electricity is turned on.

And now, in this simple little bungalow, the German team began the most important tactical meeting in their preparations for the European Cup finals. Yang Cheng needed to pass this meeting to let all the players know clearly. , how to play the game, and then in the next few days, practice and run-in around this set of tactics.

Due to the rush of time, it is naturally impossible to come up with something revolutionary. That is unrealistic, but Yang Cheng hopes that the team can improve on the original basis, and this will undoubtedly become possible.

First of all, I have to affirm something to all of you! When Yang Cheng stood on the stage, the entire conference room became silent. There was no one around the conference room. The police were patrolling outside. No one is allowed to approach the training ground or the meeting room, which is part of the German team's confidentiality.

Spain is the most powerful national team in international football today, bar none. This team has outstanding advantages. I hope that all of you can directly face their advantages clearly and clearly. Acknowledge this and It’s not difficult, it’s not scary, because we will overcome it!”

Yang Cheng's words made many people present nod their heads, because if you want to defeat an enemy, you must first know where the opponent's strengths and weaknesses are, so that you can avoid the opponent's strengths and attack the opponent's Disadvantages.

Spain's advantages are very obvious. They have outstanding personal skills. They have a group of superstars, and have incredible overall ball-handling skills and offensive methods. These are Spain's advantages. Relatively speaking, they are our disadvantages.

While talking, Yang Cheng's eyes were always turning on the players. He could see that everyone was very attentive and listening very carefully, because they finally reached the finals again, and they wanted to see them lose again more than anyone else. If they lost in the finals three times in a row, Spain, that can be regarded as a big joke in the history of football.

We Chinese have a saying that the most dangerous places are often the safest, and it is very suitable to apply to Spain. That is their strongest point, in fact, their greatest vitality, their most powerful place It’s exactly their weakest link!”

When it comes to this. Yang Cheng got out of his way. Let all players see Spain's tactical formation diagram that has been drawn on the tactical board behind him, and everyone can see it. Spain's formation as a whole is overwhelming.

A lot of people may never be able to understand,

Why do all ball-possessing teams have to move their defense forward? Real Madrid is like this, Barcelona is like this, and now Spain is like this. Why?

Yang Cheng asked with a smile, but he did not wait for the players to think, but gave the answer directly.

Because the ball can only create a threat when it reaches a specific area, and this so-called specific area is the opponent's 32-meter area. It only makes sense to control the ball in this area, because the purpose of controlling the ball is to prepare an offensive. It's about stretching the opponent's defense and looking for opportunities, and once you capture the opportunities and get the opportunity, you have to suddenly increase your speed.

What's faster than a direct pass or a diagonal pass? Yang Cheng asked rhetorically.

All players are experienced in many battles, and many of them have already understood this truth, but there are also some young players who do not understand. Now it sounds like this is indeed the case, because direct passes and diagonal passes can indeed be Break the situation on the field in an instant.

But if the distance is far, the accuracy of direct and diagonal passes will decrease, which is meaningless.

But everything in this world is relative. If your defense moves forward, holes will naturally appear behind you. And to a certain extent, the more you move forward, the more obvious your advantage in controlling the ball will be. But The holes behind you will become bigger, so I say that Spain’s advantage is precisely their Achilles’ heel!”

Yang Cheng's opinion must be clear to anyone who has a little knowledge of the Spanish ball control system, such as Mourinho, Villas-Boas, Wenger and others. They all know this very well, so When arranging tactics, we always focus on this point, but there are very few teams that can do this.

The reason is also very simple, because if you want to crack this set of tactics, you must have extremely high quality.

Any team that wants to resolve Spain's set of tactics generally has only two possibilities. One is to press out as a whole and press the opponent. Both sides press the whole court. However, unless such a team has the They have the same excellent technical and tactical level as Spain, outstanding tacit understanding, and united and coordinated combat capabilities. Otherwise, they will usually die miserably after having too much fun, and they will eventually reveal their flaws under the pressure and pull of their opponents!

The other way is to lower your posture, stabilize the defense first, try to prevent Spain from scoring first, and then counterattack. This set of tactics is more suitable for most teams, but if you want to completely defend the situation , this is also not easy, there are only two possibilities.

One is to use midfield strangulation tactics, just like Chelsea back then, and the other is to shrink the defense. However, both of them have disadvantages. Once the strangulation intensity of the former is not strong enough and is penetrated by the opponent, it will be very dangerous behind them, while the latter It is equivalent to giving up possession of the ball directly, resulting in complete passivity, and we can only wait for the opponent to make mistakes and expose flaws.

Yang Cheng is a person who likes initiative and control, so he smiled, I don't like either of these two. Now I want to come up with a defensive tactic that is more suitable for us!

When talking about this, Yang Cheng used a tablet computer to show a short video on the big screen. The first picture showed a ball holder facing the defense. There was no defensive player in front of him, and a red line was drawn in front of him. It was obviously for the purpose of For explanation.

In the past, our movement emphasized more on three people as a group. One to grab, one to protect from the side, and one to help defend. But now. I hope you can do it with four people as a unit. One to grab, two to intercept from the side. One to drop back to help defend, because only in this way can we ensure that Spain does not break through our defense!

Yang Cheng pointed to the picture on the big screen, If the opponent directly takes the ball and faces our defense, how many forward routes do you think the opponent has?

As soon as this question was asked, many players at the scene began to discuss it, and the answers were not unanimous.

Yang Cheng pressed continue, and the screen continued, with the player as the origin. Taking the red line as the diameter, a semicircular fan-shaped area is drawn within this area. Propelling passes are available from all angles.

It's a 180-degree passing angle! Yang Cheng said. Then put it on.

I saw an extra defensive player in front of the player, and the two faced each other for one-on-one defense.

So. How many passing angles are there now? Yang Cheng asked again. After everyone had taken a look, he then replied: It's 45 degrees on the left bottom edge and 45 degrees on the right bottom edge. !”

A 45-degree angle close to the diameter of the left and right sides appears on the screen, showing that both areas can be passed, while the 90-degree angle in the middle of the sector is blocked by defensive players. Everyone who plays football knows very well that this is indeed the case.

Okay, here comes the question. What I dare to say is that with the technical skills of the Spanish players, they can definitely grasp the 45-degree diagonal passes from the left and right sides. They have this technology and ability, and their teammates They also have such a sense of running support, because they were all taught by me!

Yang Cheng said these words with an irrefutable authority. He can be said to be the creator behind this Spanish team. Del Bosque's team was built with his Real Madrid as the skeleton.

So just blocking one side, they can pass to the other side, the effect is equally bad, they can also break through our defense line, so if we want to block Spain's forward pass, then we have to play on the left and right sides. There are players to form a real fan-shaped defensive surface, and there is another deep-lying defensive player behind to prevent the opponent from passing one-on-one!

Everyone can see from the short video and Yang Cheng's analysis that if this is really done, it can indeed be said that a person's forward passing angle is blocked. He will either pass back or pass the ball forward. Being blocked, it is difficult to pass through the defensive zone, no matter how dense the teammates around him are.

This is just a point in the defense. If we can spread this point and form countless layers of fan-shaped defense, then the opponent's forward passing route will be completely destroyed!

When he said this, Yang Cheng paused. He felt it was necessary to let the players digest his thoughts and ideas.

Forcible indoctrination cannot make players truly understand and comprehend. Only by relying on them to think and figure this out can they help them understand the defensive tactics that Yang Cheng wants them to implement.

Boss, this is probably a fantasy. If we want to do this, how much do we have to run?

Yes, boss, as you said, if we keep running like this, let alone a game, I probably won't be able to survive half the game!

Yes, the stadium is so big that it is impossible to run like this all the time. They just need to use the pass to keep pulling you and let you run. When your physical energy is almost exhausted, they will slowly torture you. By then there will not be enough Your physical strength can support you, no matter how good your tactics are, it’s useless as you just watch the opponent play with you!”

Yang Chengyi advocated that they speak freely when preparing tactics, so when faced with doubts, he did not feel angry, but was happy because he was able to put forward opinions, which proved that they digested and understood Yang Cheng's ideas.

The German team has always been very good at running without the ball, especially after Yang Cheng established the youth training system. The running without the ball is divided into groups of three. This group of players can even be said to have grown up in such an environment. Growing and progressing, this gives them the possibility to go further and realize Yang Cheng's ideas.

For example, Ballack's numerous runs were all outside the triangle area, forming a fourth man's run, and this fourth man was actually completing Yang Cheng's set of tactical ideas.

Yes, you are all right, but there is a possibility that can guarantee that we can do this! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After everyone heard this, they all looked at Yang Cheng attentively. At this moment, Barak was the first to understand. He suddenly realized: Shrink the distance between the three lines. Reduce the control area, so there will be less running!

Yang Cheng pointed at Ballack with a smile and praised: Well said! It's not just that there is less running. It's less and more!

Run as a team, just keep a good distance and maintain a compact and orderly formation. Then the player's running distance and physical energy consumption in this area can actually be reduced to a minimum.

This is somewhat similar to the assembly line operation favored in factories, which can maximize efficiency.

I have calculated that the most suitable distance between players is about 10 meters. If it is less, it will be overcrowded, which will lead to a narrower control area. If it is more, there will be loopholes and the control area will be too large. Actual control ability It’s just weak and can easily be penetrated and passed by the opponent, causing loopholes!”

After listening to what Yang Cheng said, the players. Combined with the series of data Yang Cheng just put forward. This made them all have to believe that the series of tactics proposed by Yang Cheng were completely achievable. They are fully capable of using precisely calculated off-ball movements to limit the opponent's passing penetration.

All the players were adding in their minds what Yang Cheng didn't say. They could all imagine that if they could quickly launch a similar fan-shaped defense when the opponent got the ball, it would mean that it would be difficult for the opponent to move forward. Even if the opportunity to pass the ball is successful once and a half, the defensive players behind him will make up for it and minimize the damage.

As for the set of tactics developed by Yang Cheng, everyone must keep a distance of about 10 meters. In addition, Ballack said before that the defense should be reduced. This also represents the tone of Yang Cheng's fight against Spain, not against Spain. A head-on confrontation, but a defensive counterattack, a real defensive counterattack.

I believe that at this moment, many players will admire Yang Cheng from the bottom of their hearts. After all, Yang Cheng is Yang Cheng. Even his defensive counterattack is different from others. And the more carefully they think about it, the easier it is for them to find an interesting thing.

Use a group of four people to defend in a fan shape and intercept the ball in this way. Once the ball is intercepted, almost everyone can face the opponent's goal, and then complete the transition from defense to offense in the shortest time, or even directly. Launch a counterattack and directly attack the opponent's position.

And Yang Cheng also said just now that in order for Spain to ensure the effectiveness of ball control, they must move their defense forward and expose the gaps behind them. If the German team seizes the opportunity to counterattack and pass the ball directly behind them, that is Doesn't it mean that the German team has seized the Spaniard's fatal flaw?

The more they thought about it, the more interesting it became, and the more they thought about it, the more exciting they felt. Gradually, they couldn't help but be led into Yang Cheng's tactical ideas. They could all feel that such a defense would be fine as long as they did not make fatal mistakes. Ensure that the German team does not miss the goal to the greatest extent.

But this is only theoretical. This set of tactics can indeed contain the opponent's vertical attack route and complete the transition between offense and defense as quickly as possible. However, in fact, to achieve such a goal, the requirements are also very high.

First of all, such a team must have a complete and clever off-the-ball running system, and the German team undoubtedly has such a foundation.

In addition, the team's formation must be suitable to ensure that the players can cover the space while ensuring the players' physical fitness and running distance. In order to achieve this, Yang Cheng now adopts shrinking defensive tactics to ensure stability first, and then Slowly plan other things, and when the team becomes familiar with this set of tactics in the future, they can expand the defensive space and avoid the embarrassing situation of always sticking to their own half.

But there is one thing that the head coach cannot predict, and that is the degree to which the players complete the tactics and their overall conversion speed from offense to fan defense as soon as possible after the opponent steals the ball. This is undoubtedly the biggest factor in the entire defensive system. The problem.

Yang Chengyi is obviously very clear about this. He even knows it better than anyone else. This is the key factor that determines the success or failure of this set of tactics. Spain’s quick and fast style of play and their outstanding one-touch passing and receiving are coordinated to advance. Ability, if this cannot be accomplished in the shortest time, then the German team cannot expect to be able to defend Spain's offensive.

Therefore, he must focus on practicing the team's defensive system in the next period of time, so that the players can become familiar with this set of tactics as much as possible, and at the same time, improve the team's ability between offense and fan defense as much as possible. conversion speed.

Another important training topic is the mastery of distance.

As Yang Cheng mentioned just now, the distance cannot be too far. If it is too far, it will not be able to block the opponent's passing route and there will be loopholes. But the distance cannot be too close. If it is too close, it will not be able to guarantee the control of the defensive zone and the defense. level.

After all, this set of fan defense is not just a one-on-one contest, but a contest between the entire team and another team, 11 against 11, and countless groups of four. This must ensure that the team If there are enough levels, there will be no chaotic scenes. Otherwise, in the end, instead of tormenting the other party, you will torment yourself.

In addition, Yang Cheng always has a backup plan when doing things. He must prepare for the worst. If Del Bosque's team really breaks through the German team's defense and the German team must fight hard, then How can the team play a threatening offense while ensuring the quality of defense.

Offense, this is Yang Cheng's strength, and it is also his trump card in this game. He must have it!
