Super Coach

Drogba, 1.89 meters, 91KG.

I believe that when all head coaches see this piece of data from Drogba, one reaction is to frown!

It's so scary. How strong do you have to be to gain this weight?

It's simply a heavy tank!

It is because of his size that every team he goes to, the head coach only uses him in one way, and that is to be at the front as a bridgehead, attack the opponent's defense, and then arrange a team around him. A scorer, forming a double forward.

This is simply a fixed pattern, from Le Mans to Guingamp, it is like this!

When Drogba came to Liverpool and met Yang Cheng for the first time, the Chinese coach planned a very clear career development path for him, which was to transform him from a dull tactical center into a more capable player. An all-around top center.

One of the important reasons why Drogba is loved by all head coaches is that he has high tactical execution ability, and the second is that he is very diligent.

Since joining Liverpool, he has been following the basic technical training given to him by Moniz and Meulensteen to refine his skills, including taking the ball with his back, turning with the ball, turning and passing, etc. technology.

Drogba himself knows very well that relying on the body to make a living is not a long-term thing, because the body will weaken sooner or later. But for those players with poor health, once they are over 30 years old, their condition will immediately decline sharply, because his body is not good. .

The development direction Yang Cheng planned for him was to change him from relying on his body to relying more on technology and consciousness.

This suited Drogba's taste, so he conducted special training meticulously according to Yang Cheng's plan.

Nearly a year has passed, and he has indeed achieved certain results through additional training on his own, but it still cannot meet Yang Cheng's requirements.

However, Yang Cheng could no longer wait for him to develop the skill of turning around and passing the ball, so after discussions with the technical team, he developed another auxiliary technique.

…

When Drogba retreats, Campbell is always the first to follow.

In football tactics, no one will let the opponent's center face their own goal. Even if he is 30 meters away from his own goal, it is also impossible.

Why?

Because when he faces your goal, he can make a lot of choices, and he can even directly hit a long shot. Therefore, whenever Drogba comes out, Campbell will stick to it and stop it immediately. Drogba turned around.

As long as you don't let him turn around, he's like a loser.

Campbell is also a famous strongman in the Premier League, but as soon as he made physical contact with Drogba, he immediately felt that Drogba's strength would not be inferior to him at all, and the Ivorian had flexibility and flexibility that was incompatible with his strength. speed.

As soon as Campbell got behind Drogba, the Ivorian immediately felt a huge pressure coming from behind, but he held on tightly and leaned against Campbell.

At this time, Drogba's body was slightly sideways to the left, using his body more to hold Campbell up, while the England central defender kept squeezing him from behind, but the Ivorian remained unwavering.

In the Premier League, there are very few forwards who can compete with Campbell at this level, and Drogba is one of them.

As soon as Drogba leaned on Campbell, Carrick's direct pass immediately came to his feet. This kind of pass was passed several times in this game, but the effect was not great.

But this time, it was obviously different.

Campbell, who bore the brunt of the attack, realized this immediately.

The England central defender is right-footed. After Drogba gets the ball, his body turns to his left, which means he has an inverse foot.

Now Campbell couldn't move, because his left foot could only be used as support. It was a bit difficult to flexibly steal the ball even when he was free to move, let alone when his body was suppressed.

Therefore, Campbell could only watch helplessly as Drogba stopped the ball, turned sideways, held him up with his shoulder, pulled the ball with his right foot, directly blocking Campbell to the left side of his body, and then moved his right foot in A direct pass forward from the instep.

All defenders know very well that they cannot let the opponent get the ball head-on, especially if they rush up at high speed after getting the ball, it is simply fatal, because as soon as the opponent speeds up, he is going forward and you are retreating, a sure kill!

After Drogba suppressed Campbell with his body, he turned sideways and passed the ball straight. There is no doubt that he wanted to achieve this effect.

For whom?

Ronaldinho on the right, almost at the moment Drogba turned around, got rid of Clichy very quickly and cut inside at an extremely fast speed. His explosive power in an instant prompted him to make a move in an instant. Just left Chrissy behind.

When Ronaldinho was sprinting diagonally from the right towards the penalty area at high speed, Drogba's pass came right in front of him.

Clichy was chasing behind him, while Kolo Toure came over from the center to prevent Ronaldinho from entering the penalty area.

But when he came closer, Ronaldinho had already caught the ball and kicked it out, speeding up to catch up.

At this moment, Wenger rushed out of the coaching bench and looked dumbfounded as Ronaldinho cut in from the right into the penalty area. He made an emergency stop, dunked over the fallen Lehmann, and succeeded in pushing the shot into the empty goal!

At this moment, Yang Cheng seemed to have predicted that Ronaldinho would score a goal, and made a winning gesture in advance. He raised his right fist high above his head, punched at the assistants around him, and opened his mouth wide in excitement. shouted, The ball is in!

Cristiano Huinaldo... Andy Gray shouted the last word very long.

This was a sudden goal. It came very suddenly, but it was very exciting. Therefore, from the manly physical confrontation between Drogba and Campbell to the little Luofeng-like cutting in from the right, the whole process happened. In the blink of an eye.

Too fast! Andy Gray looked at the TV camera where Ronaldinho was celebrating with his teammates excitedly near the corner flag. His speed is so fast that he can hardly stop him when he rushes forward!

Interestingly, the live TV camera jumped to Yang Cheng.

This is also a very interesting scene in the Premier League broadcast this season. Almost every time Liverpool scores a goal, concedes a goal, or fails an attack, they will focus on Yang Cheng. For this reason, Ferguson also teased that Sky TV specially broadcast A camera was arranged in the stadium to focus on Yang Cheng.

After the switch is completed, it returns to slow motion playback.

It can be clearly seen that the moment Drogba turned around, Ronaldinho had already rushed up.

Arsenal's defense was pulled out. Drogba withdrew from his usual best area and retreated to a position of about 32 meters. Campbell was forced to follow him. Kolo Toure also had to follow in order to keep the distance. , causing the hole between the centre-backs and full-backs to be magnified.

Kolo Toure couldn't guard against this kind of ball, and Clichy couldn't keep up with Ronaldinho. Both of them could only watch helplessly as Ronaldinho used his speed to pass through their defense and enter the penalty area. , score a goal!”

This is a very beautiful offensive cooperation. We can find that Liverpool consciously pulled and contained it, just to create a gap for Ronaldinho, so that the Portuguese can take advantage of his speed and get rid of Ronaldinho from the right. Richie, cut inside and scored.

This is definitely an extremely precise tactical cooperation, textbook movement and traction! Andy Gray exclaimed.

Yang Cheng looked very excited after the ball scored, because this is the effect he wanted.

Not only that, there will be more.

Yang Cheng has a lot of ideas about the cooperation of the front three, especially with Robben and Ronaldinho, two players with excellent personal abilities and speed, plus Drogba, if he If he can't carve out a set of frightening offensive coordination, then he really deserves the honor he has received.

…………

…………

Liverpool pulled a goal back, and Arsenal looked disappointed from top to bottom.

Wenger walked to the sidelines and reminded Arsenal's defense players not to increase the distance too much. They must learn from this experience and not give Liverpool players another chance.

When walking back, he passed by Patrice, Wenger looked very serious.

We all guessed wrong! Wenger was a little frustrated.

Patrice knew this too.

Just now, they all thought that Liverpool wanted to beat Carrick's overhead pass, so they arranged for Toure to help defend. But in fact, what they wanted was the gap created by the reverse run between teammates, and then used this gap. After the ball is released, the attack is launched.

From Drogba targeting Campbell's weak foot, to passing the ball to the area between Toure and Clichy, and finally Ronaldinho's intervention, it was obvious that everything was targeted, and every step was taken by Yang. Cheng's well-designed routine.

I just estimated that the defensive dislocation can reach 20 meters. Unless we pull back the players in front, otherwise, it will be difficult to defend. Even if we arrange Kolo Toure to help defend, it will be difficult!

Theoretically speaking, as long as Drogba can pass the ball, it will work whether he is playing on the left or the right. He can pass the ball depending on Kolo Toure's position, even if Kolo Toure has to assist. There is no way to prevent filling positions.

And if the full-backs are moved closer, it is equivalent to giving up all the wings in the backcourt to Liverpool. At that time, they will choose to cross from the bottom, and Drogba will insert from the back row, which is also a huge threat.

What is a three-dimensional attack?

This is a three-dimensional attack!

What now? Patrice asked.

Wenger also frowned and looked at Campbell, I hope Sol can resist that beast!

But after several attempts, Wenger began to find that it was difficult!

…………

…………

Liverpool steals the ball, and Drogba retreats as usual, but Robben and Ronaldinho on the two wings have no idea of ​​retreating. They are like two sharp knives, waiting for Arsenal to reveal their flaws at any time. .

As soon as Campbell became aware of the Ivorians' movements, he immediately followed them out.

He kept firmly in his mind the words that Wenger reminded him in the locker room during the halftime break: Never let Drogba turn around. He also decided that he would have to fight for life or death. Live this beast.

But when he followed Drogba back, he immediately realized his passivity.

Drogba took the initiative to retreat, and the Ivorian was naturally in front. Campbell passively followed him in the retreat. He could only follow behind the Ivorian. After all, he certainly couldn't retreat before Drogba. Really, As soon as Carrick stepped forward, he pushed it directly behind him, no chance!

As a result, Drogba took the initiative when retreating and could estimate the distance from the goal and his teammates on both sides. When he came to the right place, he immediately stood firm and set up his formation.

When Campbell came up, he sadly discovered that he could only stay behind Drogba because he wanted to prevent Drogba from turning around.

If it is a slightly thinner center, once Campbell squeezes, the opponent will lose balance and lose his position, especially when he gets the ball and wants to turn around, but Drogba is not such a strong monster. He is fighting with strength. Not inferior to Campbell at all.

Therefore, Campbell could only choose to interfere with him, not daring to move his center of gravity easily or take a step easily, because once the center of gravity shifts and the kick is unsuccessful, the opponent will be able to turn around and rush forward. The defensive line is more dangerous.

A perverted Drogba almost represents no solution. Campbell, who is completely passive, had to tragically discover that once Drogba's ball position, stopping, and posture made this monster feel comfortable, the Ivorian could use his body Hold him, then turn sideways and pass again.

This time, Ronaldinho threw away Clichy from the right and cut in. Toure still couldn't catch up. He and Clichy could only watch in despair as Ronaldinho cut in from the right at high speed and took the ball. He broke through Arsenal's entire back line, broke into the penalty area, shot low at the right post, and once again broke through Arsenal's goal, 2:2!

Andy Gray was not as excited this time as when he scored the first goal, but he was still amazed by the offensive power displayed by Liverpool.

Although compared with the first goal, Ronaldinho chose to shoot immediately because of Lehmann's position, but the whole routine is exactly the same as the first goal. Arsenal obviously can't do anything about it!

The live TV camera was focused on Wenger. The professor looked very distressed because he found that Liverpool's offense almost always revolved around this routine, with only changes in details, running, and distance.

But what troubles him even more is that Arsenal can do nothing about it.

From the 30th minute of the first half to the 52nd minute now, for more than 20 minutes, Liverpool made several attempts. Robben and Ronaldinho also wasted several opportunities, but once the fight was completed, , that’s almost a sure shot.

Football is like this. Every goal is full of unpredictability. As long as there is a deviation in one link, the ball will not go in. The entire process must be coordinated very accurately to achieve a goal.

If Wenger wants to prevent Liverpool from scoring, he needs to break this routine and disrupt their entire flow.

Sol obviously can't restrain Drogba... Wenger frowned and could only say that he didn't know what kind of luck Yang Cheng had gotten, and he found the beast Drogba and Robben at the same time. and Ronaldinho, two guys with such excellent speed and skills.

In the end, he could only look beyond Drogba to get Vieira back.

This move did play a certain role, but Liverpool equalized the score and launched a wave of offensive. Just when everyone was holding their breath, Wenger's move undoubtedly boosted Liverpool's arrogance.

…………

…………

In the 58th minute, just a few minutes after the last goal, Liverpool stole the ball in the midfield. After Davis stole the ball from Pires, he chose to dribble the ball forward.

Davis' dribbling ability is also very good. His move immediately disrupted Arsenal's defensive arrangement.

Vieira immediately pulled out, but Davis chose to pass the ball to Drogba, who was retreating. The Ivorian knocked back, and the two formed a beautiful one-two. Davis passed Vieira at the same time. , also directly faced Arsenal's defense.

Kolo Toure chose to attack, and Robben came diagonally from the left. The Dutchman passed the ball behind him.

After Robben received the ball in the middle, he stopped suddenly, changed direction, took a step to the left, and volleyed with his left foot. The ball almost touched the left post and rolled into the goal. Lehmann was beyond the reach of this shot and could only watch helplessly. Watching Robben score, 2:3!

Oh my God, it's reversed! Liverpool has reversed it! Andy Gray exclaimed.

In the 58th minute, Liverpool's offensive was overwhelming. After Robben cut in from the left, he volleyed with his left foot and once again penetrated Arsenal's goal, scoring a go-ahead goal for Liverpool!

Liverpool's performance was outstanding, especially their front three, whose performance was even more impressive.

After the goal, Robben rushed out of the penalty area and excitedly pounced on fellow Dutchman Davis.

It was the cooperation of these two Dutchmen that scored the go-ahead goal for Liverpool.

The two Dutchmen hugged each other tightly and accepted the celebrations from their teammates around them. They both performed very well.

It's unbelievable. Liverpool's offense has been higher and higher. Since they stabilized the situation, the front trident has shown very good offensive capabilities, especially the interlacing movement and cooperation of the three players, and The individual abilities of each of their players are outstanding, which makes it very difficult for Arsenal to defend!

Andy Gray shook his head and sighed, Obviously, this is an offensive tactic tailor-made by Yang Cheng for these three players. Arsenal have nothing to do about it. Wenger must make adjustments as soon as possible, otherwise, Liverpool will still Score goals one after another.”

Having said this, Andy Gray suddenly felt very interesting and smiled awkwardly.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, everyone still thought that this would be a game where Arsenal beat Liverpool, but who could have imagined that the game would take a turn for the worse after that, and Liverpool would launch an offensive frenzy. , it may even be possible to score a big score against Arsenal!

Today's Arsenal should no longer be obsessed with how to win games and championships. They should consider how to resolve the attack of Liverpool's trident. This is what they need to do most at the moment!

It is obvious that Andy Gray has noticed the inability of Arsenal's defense to deal with Liverpool's trident.

The overtaking itself proves this point!
