Super Coach

If anyone has read Yang Cheng's tactical book [Mobile Football Field], which is regarded as a bible by countless professionals around the world and a teaching material by countless football professionals, then they will definitely be able to find that Yang In this book, the most frequently used word to describe tactics is relative!

Yes, many people think that there are high and low tactics, strong and weak, but in fact, this kind of high and low strength exists relatively, not absolutely. In other words, the so-called high and strong , are all for specific low and weak. If you change the comparison object, perhaps the high and strong in the eyes of fans will become low and weak.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and naturally there is no perfect strategy for eternal victory.

Even a team as powerful as Real Madrid, praised by countless fans as having perfect tactics and lineup, still lost to Ferguson's Manchester United in the Champions League final. Does that mean that Real Madrid made a huge mistake in the final? Not perfect at all? Or is it that Manchester United's tactics are better than Real Madrid's? More powerful?

Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that the football field is the fairest playing field in the world, because from the perspective of a head coach, in terms of tactics, what he sees is always trade-offs and balances.

If you want to get something, you must give up something. You can't have an all-conquering offense and an impenetrable defense at the same time. That's impossible, because when you attack, you have already How can it be possible to take care of both at the same time when the loopholes in defense are exposed?

A truly great head coach. When considering tactics, what he wants to achieve is always trade-offs and balance.

I want to attack, but how can I ensure that my defense is as strong as possible while attacking? How should I choose between the two, and to what extent should I choose the scale? This all needs to be mastered by the head coach himself!

Just like in this game, Brazil played the German team, and Scolari's lineup was two parallel lines.

That is to say. The Brazilian team's midfield and defense line are positioned in parallel. This can ensure that the Brazilian team can effectively cut off the connection between the German team's midfield and the midfield. In other words, they can be more effective. Effectively control area and space.

The parallel positions of the two lines can ensure maximum cooperation with each other, and provide greater support to the left and right wings. It is the most difficult of all formations, and can even be said to be the least likely to be cut apart by the opponent. Balancing tactics that lead to disconnect.

Of course, this does not mean that such tactics are completely without shortcomings. Because of the parallel stance. Therefore, as long as the attacking team concentrates on a certain point and makes key breakthroughs, it can often break through a point and then collapse the opponent's entire defense line. This is the disadvantage of parallel positions.

Scolari's calculation was very clear. The German team currently does not have a one-on-one breakthrough player with strong personal ability, so he dared to put the two lines into parallel positions with confidence. This gave the German team the strongest possible pressure.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious. If the German team has a way to break through their midfield defense and suppression. That can directly threaten their defense line, or even break through their defense line again. Create a threat to shoot.

Under this situation, the German team would be stupid if they continued to compete with the Brazilian team on the overall situation. Therefore, during the halftime break, when Yang Cheng was arranging the team's tactics, he asked all players to concentrate on the team's strength. Focus on breaking through a certain point of the opponent, and use point breakthroughs to break down the defensive suppression of the Brazilian team.

But the specific effect still depends on the process and progress of the game... At the beginning of the second half, the German team obviously wanted to strengthen its attack consciously, while the Brazilian team began to respond to changes by staying the same, hoping to continue to maintain the first half. Due to the situation on the field, they patiently dragged on the game, and then waited for the German team to lose their confidence and fighting spirit before making a last-ditch effort.

On the left wing of the German team, Lahm also began to press forward more actively than before and participate in the attack. Jerome Boateng consciously retreated into the penalty area after Lahm advanced. , to ensure the stability of the defense line.

With the Brazilian team's personal ability, if this team seizes the opportunity to counterattack, it will be a major threat to the German team's defense. Under the current circumstances, any attack by the German team must ensure its own defense. It must be carried out under relatively stable and safe conditions. Otherwise, if the Brazilian team scores a goal, the German team will really be finished.

Sven Bender is more likely to return to the front of the defense line to form a protected area to ensure the safety of the defense line. Lahm's forward pressure also pulled the Brazilian team's defense to the left side of the midfield. Bastian Schweinsteiger , Ozil also consciously carried out focused attacks and penetration tactics on this side.

When the game reached the 49th minute, the German team got a chance.

Ozil got the chance to take the ball around the two central midfielders of the Brazilian team, but he was immediately intercepted by the two central midfielders of the Brazilian team. The two choked Ozil one on the left and the other on the right.

Because Ozil retreated to get the ball without turning around, he took the ball directly to face his own goal with his back to Brazil's goal. Therefore, after he got the ball and was intercepted, he neither chose to get rid of it nor turned around. Instead, he directly continued to dribble the ball into his own half, seemingly trying to break away from the opponent's defensive area.

Ozil's ability to take the ball and pass the ball has long been feared by Scolari, so he strictly ordered the players to block Ozil, so the defensive players followed immediately, but they could prevent Ozil anytime and anywhere. When he turned around to create a threat, he saw Bastian Schweinsteiger sprinting forward from the side of Ramirez on the left side of the midfield.

When Ramirez realized that Ozil would pass the ball to Schweinsteiger, the ball had already been passed to the front of Schweinsteiger's sprint. After the piggy sprinted forward quickly, he took advantage of the situation and kicked it. Kick the ball out and speed up to catch up.

Having played as an attacking midfielder and a wide midfielder, Bastian Schweinsteiger's dribbling skills are not bad, and he successfully crossed the Brazilian team's midfield. Soon he advanced in front of the opponent's defense.

Thiago Silva was very fast and immediately blocked Bastian Schweinsteiger's forward path. This Brazilian central defender is not tall, but he is very decisive and flexible, and his positioning is very precise. Blocking Bastian Schweinsteiger's step, the body made contact. The kick was clean and neat, and the ball was stolen away.

The Brazilian central defender's excellent blocking and defensive awareness immediately won the cheers of all Brazilian fans in the stands. This central defender has become the anchor of Brazil's defense today. Just for this decisive attack and blocking, Ti Jago Silva lives up to his reputation as the world's leading central defender.

Standing on the sidelines, I saw Thiago Silva intercepting Bastian Schweinsteiger's pass. A long pass was intended to find Hulk for a counterattack, but Hummels headed the ball back to the midfielder in time. To Sven Bender. The latter was passed to Badstuber, which barely defused a counterattack by the Brazilian team. Yang Cheng sighed, helpless.

Just now, Ozil and Klose did not have a good tacit understanding and interaction, and the distance was a little farther apart. Thiago Silva is too difficult to deal with, so we have to pull him away. Don't get into his Defensive zone!”

Benitez nodded, without the ability to steadily defeat his opponent's powerful star one-on-one. Yang Cheng adopts this method of running back and forward to drive the ball forward, which can also be said to be a last resort. But this is no more than one person. It requires the cooperation of all parties.

If it was Messi or Kaká who had the ball just now, and he directly dribbled the ball through the middle, attracted two players of the opponent, and directly threatened the opponent's defense, then the three forwards of the German team would be able to carry out an indiscriminate attack in front. If the ball moves and pulls, creating loopholes and threats, then the Brazilian team's so-called iron wall will be completely destroyed.

But the German team does not have a superstar and can only rely on teamwork, which requires tacit understanding and running-in... Let Ozil retreat, widen the distance between the midfield and the defense, and then use this space to create opportunities. This kid's adaptability is really amazing! Scolari just saw an attack by the German team and vaguely guessed what Yang Cheng was thinking.

It seems that unexpected changes are happening on the football field anytime and anywhere, and it seems that everything is full of chance. But in fact, there is always great inevitability among the chances.

Just like the German team's attack just now, if Thiago Silva's attack was not so ruthless, decisive and accurate, then Bastian Schweinsteiger's dribbling directly threatened the defense line and would surely give the Brazilian team The defense line poses a threat, even directly threatening the Brazilian team's goal.

Yang Cheng is preparing to gamble. Ozil's retreat is equivalent to pulling back the frontcourt organization and passers. He wants to make more use of the space behind Ramirez and others, and If we want to block this space, we have to adjust our defense line, and it will be very easy for them to create loopholes! Pereira also looked like he was making a cautious analysis.

In today's situation, both sides are trying their best to attack each other's loopholes and flaws. The Brazilian team is curbing the German team's offense, and the German team wants to break free from the Brazilian team's cage, but Yang Cheng has now made it clear that he must Transform the previous comprehensive confrontation into today's local competition, break through a point on the Brazilian team's defense, and disintegrate the entire Brazilian team's defense.

If the German team forms a numerical balance in a certain area of ​​Brazil's 32-meter zone, then with the German team's teamwork and combat capabilities, it is entirely possible to create a threat, so to a certain extent, What Yang Cheng is now pursuing is how to create more such situations and opportunities.

We have no choice! Scolari was also helpless about the current situation.

If his targeted tactics put Yang Cheng in a dilemma before, then Yang Cheng's adjustments now also put him in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wants to continue to maintain the pressure advantage in his own 32-meter area and continue to Compress the space of Klose and Ozil to ensure that the ball cannot easily come to their feet.

But on the other hand, the German team allowed Ozil to retreat so deep, which is tantamount to inducing the Brazilian team's midfield defense to advance accordingly. The distance between the defense line behind him will be widened, leaving behind In this case, as long as someone can take advantage of this space, the Brazilian team will become extremely dangerous.

Maybe someone said, don't follow Ozil back, isn't that enough?

The problem is not that simple. If he does not come back with Ozil, it means giving him the opportunity to take the ball loosely. Once he is given such an opportunity to face the goal directly and launch a frontal attack, his passing advantage will be fully exposed.

Therefore, at this moment, what Scolari faces is also a trade-off and a choice...a battle between masters. In fact, there are not so many fancy moves and so-called tricks.

Both sides know each other thoroughly and understand each other in every possible way. They are both very clear about the other side's changes and threats, and they are also making targeted tactics and arrangements. Therefore, regardless of the deception, they often directly enter hand-to-hand combat.

Scolari's choice did not adjust the team's defense, he just trusted Thiago Silva's personal ability. The Brazilian has outstanding personal defensive skills, as well as excellent speed and explosive power. This allows him to return to his defense zone as quickly as possible after grabbing the ball. So Scolari gave him a certain amount of freedom to attack.

The choices and adjustments made by Yang Cheng and Scolari don't matter whether they are brilliant or not. It doesn't matter whether they are good or not. The key lies in the changes on the court and whether the players can maximize the head coach's adjustments.

It's still Ozil who gets the ball, and it's still Bastian Schweinsteiger who goes forward, but this time. Ramirez and Thiago Silva once again teamed up to double-team Bastian Schweinsteiger, resulting in a steal. Thiago Silva didn't hesitate at all and rushed forward with the ball. He launched a counterattack as quickly as possible.

The Brazilian team's counterattack came very quickly, very decisively and resolutely. Thiago Silva dribbled the ball quickly through the midfield, and then passed the ball to the feet of Kaká, the Brazilian team's frontcourt offensive commander.

Kaka stopped the ball steadily, but Sven Bender stood firmly in front of the defense line as always, blocking Kaka's forward path and cutting off Kaka's forward direction into the penalty area.

The reason why the Brazilian superstar is a superstar is because he can make the most reasonable move according to the situation on the court. So after Kaka got the ball, he turned sideways, immediately increased his speed, and quickly dribbled the ball diagonally to the left of the German team's defense. He quickly broke through with the ball and used his body to firmly block Sven Bender behind him.

Sven Bender was not as fast as Kaka, and his start time was a little late, but he did not give up because of this at all, and let himself be blocked by Kaka. He chased behind Kaka, no matter what He kept harassing Kaka and chased him all the way to the left edge of the arc of his own penalty area.

When Kaka anticipated that Sven Bender and Bad Stuber were about to form a double-team, he suddenly made an emergency stop and wanted to change direction and dribble the ball to the top of the arc. Sven Bender had no choice but to know clearly. , there is a space between Badstuber and Hummels. If Kaka gets a chance to kick in the top area at this time, it will be a direct threat.

Beep~~~~

The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and the referee on duty came over and showed a yellow card to Sven Bender, giving him a warning because he was dribbling the ball with Kaka just now. tripped the Brazilian to the ground and gave the Brazilian a chance to take a direct free kick.

It's okay, Sven! Schweinsteiger patted Sven Bender on the shoulder apologetically.

To be honest, with Sven Bender's strength, it is understandable that a person has to fight against a top superstar like Kaká with super personal ability. In this case, Sven Bender can choose at the critical moment. Fouling is actually a wise choice.

At the very least, the Brazilians didn't get an absolute chance to score, right?

Sven Bender's foul was in the middle of the penalty area. He was in a very good position. The Brazilian forward Hulk was very good at free kicks. He was standing at the penalty spot. It looked like he should be the one to take the penalty. Foot free kick.

Since Roberto Carlos, Juninho Jr., Ronaldinho and other free kick masters left the national team, the Brazilian team has had a generational break in the players who take free kicks. Now there is only Hulk. It can be used, but compared to its predecessors, it is still somewhat inferior.

Don't worry, leave it to me! Neuer clapped his hands together with goalkeeper gloves and shouted loudly.

Di Palma immediately walked to Yang Cheng's side and whispered a few words into his ear. Yang Cheng waved towards Schweinsteiger and others who started to set up a human wall. Instruct them to move the wall forward, closer to Hulk, and keep it tight without exposing any gaps if allowed by the rules and the referee.

Hulk's way of taking free kicks is somewhat similar to that of Adriano and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. They are all heavy shooters. This type of penalty kicker may be better at long-range free kicks. The power is huge, but once the distance is close and they start to pursue the arc, they will have problems.

Neuer moved quickly on the goal line, constantly observing from all angles, and finally stood in the middle, waiting for Hulk to take the free kick.

I saw the forward, nicknamed the Hulk by the fans, standing a few steps behind the ball. He took a deep breath and kept his eyes fixed on Liswen Bender's position on the wall. He had I have a hunch that if a powerful volley ball passes through here, it can go directly into the goal.

Following the referee's whistle, Hulk rushed forward quickly. Taking advantage of the inertia brought by this momentum, as soon as his right foot landed on the ground, he directly raised his left foot to face the position he had just placed. A powerful and heavy volley hit the surface of the ball that had to be held firmly.

Everyone could hear the bang, and the ball was like a cannonball, shooting out of the air like a sharp arrow from Hulk's feet. It could be said that it was directed directly at Sven? Bend's area.

At this moment, if Sven Bender ducks sideways a little, the ball will pass through his area and directly threaten the goal guarded by Neuer behind him! (To be continued)RQ
