Super Coach

Are you all ready?

When Yang Cheng's loud inquiry came from the quiet locker room, all the players stood up and nodded in agreement towards Yang Cheng. Each of them looked very serious.

Then let's go! After saying that, Yang Cheng, who was standing at the door of the locker room, opened the door of the locker room. The sound of the closing ceremony outside suddenly swept into the entire locker room, making everyone feel it. A finals atmosphere.

The players, led by captain Lahm, walked out of the locker room one after another. Yang Cheng and his coaching staff followed the team and then walked out. There was no communication during the whole process, as if they were all in the room. Seriously waiting for the finals to arrive.

In the waiting room of the player tunnel, the players from both teams were lined up to prepare to play. As soon as the players of the Spanish national team saw Yang Cheng, they all immediately disrupted their formation and kept saying hello to Yang Cheng. There was a chorus of shouts, which shows how many of Yang Cheng's old players are in this Spanish team.

Don't fight too hard! Yang Cheng saw David who was closest? Silva was the first to greet the boy and hugged him.

David Silva was stunned after hearing this, obviously not knowing how to respond.

You too! Yang Cheng turned around and hugged Xabi Alonso.

Then came Iniesta, Arbeloa, De La Red, Villa and Ramos, and finally the Spanish captain Casillas. After Yang Cheng smiled and hugged him, they were polite to each other. A few words.

At this time, the referee of this game also called the players to come out. Yang Cheng deliberately stayed behind and let the players from both teams walk out of the court before he followed him out of the tunnel.

As soon as Yang Cheng appeared, the entire Kiev Olympic Stadium suddenly burst into overwhelming cheers. There were even dozens of fans at the scene who put up banners and slogans to cheer Yang Cheng to show their support and support for Yang Cheng. affim.

As the two teams prepared to line up to play the national anthem,

So Yang Cheng returned to his visiting team's coaching bench and turned his head. Seeing that Bosque had already walked out of the stadium before the players, he was standing in front of the home team's coaching bench getting ready.

After the national anthem was played, another burst of cheers erupted from the audience, and then the players from both teams returned to their own half. Dispersing the formation and preparing to start the game, Yang Cheng took the initiative to walk towards Del Bosque in front of the home team's coaching bench.

Ha, hello, Vicente! Yang Cheng and Bosque hugged tightly.

Hello, Caesar! Bosque also hugged his old friend. It just seemed like the competition was about to begin, and his smile was somewhat stiff. It was obvious that he couldn't relax at all, even though he had already experienced so many big battles.

This kind of event may only happen once in a lifetime, so everyone will inevitably feel nervous.

Hello, Tony! Yang Cheng hugged Bosque. A handshake and a hug from Tony Grand, then Francisco Jimenez and finally Mignano. He was very familiar with this group of people and greeted each other.

Are you ready to accept defeat, my world champions? Yang Cheng asked with a smile before leaving.

Seeing his appearance, everyone immediately laughed.

I was saying just now that Yang Cheng wouldn't be Yang Cheng if he didn't provoke him! Bosque replied with a smile.

Yang Cheng also smiled, waved to them, and returned to his coaching area. Now he had finished guessing the sides. The game was about to start, and Spain won the right to kick off first.

Friends from the audience. Friends from the audience, the 2012 European Cup final is about to start at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine. This is the most important game of the year. It will face the World Cup champions Spain and Caesar Young. The German team led by Cheng, these two teams can be said to be the two most powerful national teams in football today.

Now we can see the starting lineups and tactical formations of both sides. Spain still plays without a striker in this game. Del Bosque has arranged for goalkeeper Casillas, and the defense is Alba, Pique, and Ramos. With Arbeloa, the defensive midfielder is Xabi Alonso, the midfielders are De La Rede and Xavi, and the three frontcourt players are David Silva, Mata and Iniesta. Real Madrid attacking lineup!”

We can see that among the 11 players in the starting lineup of this Spanish team, there are a total of 8 players from Real Madrid. Only Xavi, Pique and Alba are from Barcelona, ​​and Alba switched to this season. Barcelona, ​​and their opponent Yang Cheng has been the head coach of Real Madrid for the past 6 seasons!

This game is regarded by many people as a contest between Western-style Yang Cheng and German-style Yang Cheng, because the skeleton players and core tactics of this Spanish team come from the Real Madrid team led by Yang Cheng!

The German team's starting lineup today is goalkeeper Neuer, the defense is Lahm, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, and the three midfielders are Bastian Schwein. Steiger, Sven Bender and Toni Kroos, the front three are Thomas Muller and Ozil respectively, with Klose at the front.

Judging from the starting lineup, Kyle's accidental injury before the game is obviously real, so Yang Cheng arranged for Badstuber, who performed very well in the last game against Italy, to start in this game, and Hu Mei Ernst teamed up with the central defender, and the other positions basically followed the configuration when playing Italy.

In the last game against Italy, the German team performed very steadily, especially defensively, but in this game, Spain's offensive ability is better than that of Italy. This will be a big test for the German team's defense, and this ranking The number one team in the world has not lost a single game in the past two years, which makes people somewhat worried about the future of the German team.

But it is precisely because of Spain's strength that we all look forward to the fact that the German team can challenge Spain's kingship this time and break Spain's dominance of the football world. This will definitely make more fans happy and excited.

When the live TV camera came to the sidelines, it first found Spanish head coach Vicente del Bosque, and then stopped at Yang Cheng. This has almost become a part of the live TV broadcast of games led by Yang Cheng in recent years. It's a routine.

Okay, the game is about to start, let's enjoy this world's top football feast together!

As soon as the on-site commentator finished shouting, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

…………

…………

Spain, who took the lead in kicking off, seemed very proactive. As soon as they kicked off the ball, they quickly turned the ball away from Dela Red's feet. The ball was immediately passed to the left to Alba. Spain's left wing immediately formed a quick dribbling advance on the left and cut into the German team's backcourt.

In the defensive system developed by Yang Cheng for the German team, the defense on the wings is mostly completed by the midfielders and full-backs. Use the squeeze method to squeeze the ball holder to the side, while others occupy their positions and defend other players.

In this regard, Yang Cheng introduced the Italian chain defense concept and method because he discovered it during drills during training. If the same number of troops are invested in the wing, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain, because whether 3 or 4 troops are invested in the wing, other positions will inevitably be at an absolute disadvantage.

In the middle of the midfield, the positions of the players can be connected with each other. In other words, some players are currently the attackers of this four-man group, but once the ball holder passes the ball back. He can immediately or after running two steps become another deep-lying help defender of the four-man team, which is connected with each other.

But when it comes to the sidelines, due to sideline restrictions. This makes the angle and position of the wing unable to be like that of the center, so he introduced some concepts of chain defense to further improve the defense of the wing.

Just like this time, because Yang Chengyi attaches great importance to Spain's left attack, he placed Bastian Schweinsteiger on the right side of the midfield to help defend Jerome Boateng, so the two of them flanked Alba at the same time. Forcing Alba to pass the ball back.

But just after Alba returned the pass, Ramos immediately passed the ball to David Silva, who had already moved into position when Schweinsteiger forced Alba. As soon as he got the ball, Sven Bender immediately moved in, while Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger also attacked from both sides. Hummels was preparing to defend from behind.

This was originally the German team's fan-shaped defensive arrangement against David Silva, but it was set up a bit too slowly. David Silva has a very keen sense of smell. As soon as you realize something is wrong, pass the ball out.

Then I saw Dela Red come in from behind and hit David Silva's ball with an angry kick, but the ball missed!

Spain actively launched a fierce attack on the German team's defense after the start. Del Bosque's remarks before the game were indeed correct. He set up his posture from the beginning of the game and made it clear that he wanted to fight the German team's offensive tactics. , launched a crazy attack against the German team's defense, hoping to be the first to score the goal.

While the on-site commentator was talking, Yang Cheng also realized the problem that had just occurred in the team on the sidelines, revealing a flaw and loophole. Otherwise, Dela Red should not be able to face the goal directly.

This is a normal familiarization process, and it will be fine after a while! Benitez said.

Yang Cheng nodded, training and official competition are completely different.

Although the German team has been working on this set of fan defense for many days and the effect is very good, it is always completed in training. But no matter how intense the training is, it can never be compared with the game. Whether in terms of pressure, speed, rhythm, or transition, formal competition requirements will be higher than training.

This defensive system of the German team has not been tested in official games, so no one knows how effective it will be in this game. It remains to be seen whether it can withstand the test of Spain's attack. .

Soon, Neuer took a goal kick and Klose grabbed the first point in front, but Spain's defense was smart and directly controlled the second point. Xabi Alonso kicked the ball back to Pique. The latter was quickly transferred to Arbeloa.

After Bosque played in the first game of the group, a huge change was the liberation of the full-backs. Alba replaced Miguel Torres on the left. This was already an obvious signal. Even Aveiro on the right Yaya also actively participated in the offense, just like this time, after receiving a pass from Pique, he dribbled the ball forward to attract the defensive attention.

We can see that the German team's defense was very deep. Arbeloa got the ball in the middle line. Thomas Muller did not rush to grab it immediately. It is obvious that this is the German team's defensive strategy. They don't want to Instead of expanding the defensive area, we need to shrink the defense and compress the area in front of our own goal.”

When he said this, the commentator suddenly laughed. It seems that Yang Cheng did not lie this time. He seems to want to use Mourinho's Chelsea tactics against Real Madrid to deal with the current Spanish team.

Sure enough, as soon as Arbeloa advanced to about 40 meters away from the German team's goal, Thomas Muller began to actively apply pressure, and Toni Kroos behind him was also ready to attack at the first time. But Arbeloa grabbed the opportunity and passed the ball across to Xavi.

As soon as Xavi got the ball, Toni Kroos pressed forward immediately. Thomas Muller and Ozil were on the left and right to provide support, and Sven Bender was behind them to help defend. This time the four people switched. The speed was so fast that as soon as Xavi got the ball, Toni Kroos pressed forward. This resulted in a siege.

There was no way, Harvey saw that all the passing routes in front were cut off and blocked. He had to knock the ball back to Xavi Alonso behind him, but Klose pressed forward immediately and Xavi Alonso knocked back again.

As soon as the ball left the German team's threat area, the German team's pressing and defensive efforts became weaker.

…………

…………

Something's not right! Tony Grand wondered.

When he was defending Alba and David Silva just now, he didn't feel it yet, but now when he saw the German team defending Arbeloa and Xavi one after another, plus Xavi Alonso, he couldn't feel it with a few efforts. It looked very impressive, and he immediately noticed something was wrong, but where exactly. He couldn't tell.

This stalemate took about 5 minutes. During these 5 minutes, Spain was unable to effectively send the ball into the 32-meter area of ​​the German team. It could only play outside this threatening area and near the midline. With the ball, it's difficult to create a threat.

Let me tell you. This kid is never too sure of a fight. He must be prepared for closed-door training. It seems that he plans to fight with us to the end! Bosque shook his head and laughed.

Today, Spain has a very high ball possession rate, because from the opening to the present, the German team has almost been defending, while Spain is attacking with the ball, but failed to reach the threatening area, which means that it failed to create a threat.

Comparing the number of shots taken by the Spanish and German teams, 1:0, neither side had a shot on target, which shows how stalemate the situation is.

Is he following Mourinho? Jimenez asked with a smile.

Tony Grand shook his head, No, it's not Mourinho's defensive tactics. As long as they are in the middle, they always form a four-man combination, and they control the distance very well. It seems that they have worked hard. Once they go up, Grab, two respond, one drag behind, awesome!

The Spaniard also has a very keen sense of tactics. In just a few minutes, he saw the personnel configuration of Yang Cheng's defensive system. But seeing it is one thing, whether it can be broken is another.

We can't always control the ball on the outside, we have to push it forward! Tony Grand said.

Bosque himself knows this very clearly. If the ball cannot be advanced to the threatening area, then their possession of the ball will become meaningless. But now that the German team's defense is in full swing, Spain must think of something as soon as possible. Method.

Let them go more wide, speed up, don't stick to the ball, pass the ball briefly, use speed to tear the German team's defense from the side, and then go back to look for opportunities! Del Bosque made a prompt decision.

Mignano immediately went to inform the players, while Tony Grand applauded.

It can be seen from a series of details that the German team's defensive system is very good. This is true, but because it is good, it is somewhat complicated, whether it is the organization of four people or the combination of offense and defense. Switching between players takes time to adapt, especially the transition from the wing to the center.

Obviously, the German team’s defense on the wings is different from that in the center. The wings have angle and line limitations, making it impossible for them to be like the center. If the ball is passed from the wing to the center, the German team’s defense needs to switch. , and it is obvious that their conversion is not very smooth, or it can be said that they are in the process of rapid running-in and familiarity.

In this case, once Spain slows down, it is equivalent to giving the German team time to run in and become familiar with it. Once they run in and take shape, it will be an iron wall. So Bosque said to play fast, because if it is fast, it will not be exposed. The problem will all be exposed soon.

Thinking of this, Tony Grand looked at Bosque with admiration.

Many people think that the famous Spanish coach is a father-like head coach, like a humble parent, but in fact, he definitely has a tactical sense and acumen that is not inferior to anyone. At least he can learn about the German team's situation. After the strategy, he responded immediately and decisively. Based on this ability, his strength can be judged.

Just as he was talking, he saw Spain organized another attack. Alba once again dribbled the ball from the left. This time, after attracting the defensive attention of two players, he quickly passed the ball diagonally to Della behind him. Reid, who passed the ball across to Harvey.

Harvey didn't make any adjustments after receiving the ball. He hit the ball with an overhead through ball and passed it to the right side of the German team's penalty area. He saw Mata suddenly cutting in from behind Badstuber. Go up there and get the ball before everyone else does.

This kid is also very smart when it comes to playing football. He knew that both Badstuber and Lahm were desperately trying to catch up. If he took the ball and rushed forward at this time, he would definitely be blocked in front of the baseline, so this time he did not continue. Go forward, but at the moment when you get the ball, you suddenly stop, turn around, take a step back, wait until the player who comes from behind arrives, and make a cross pass! (To be continued.
