Super Coach

The so-called non-nuclear in Yang Cheng's mouth is actually impossible to be truly nuclear-free, because it is impossible to launch an attack without nuclear weapons. ,

His core-free approach actually molds every player in the midfield and frontcourt into an overall propulsion system. Through running without the ball, each player actively looks for and creates loopholes in the opponent. Once a loophole appears, , immediately use this player as the core to launch an attack in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, no core is actually multi-core!

But because there is no focus, this kind of offense is impossible to withstand to a certain extent, because once the players in the midfield and frontcourt start to operate, you don't know who to focus on.

If we want to achieve what you call non-nuclear, we can only rely on overall advancement, which will be very demanding on the players, especially here! Benitez pointed to his temple, because this will be a great test for the players. Golf intelligence, game reading ability and response awareness.

Liverpool's tactics are very close, but both Yang Cheng and Benitez feel that Liverpool has reached its peak in Yang Cheng's hands, especially with Liverpool's staffing, because this team has a big problem, that It’s just technical skills.

To be honest, whether it is Gerrard, Carrick, Essien and others, they all have great limitations in terms of technical details.

As far as Real Madrid's current team staffing is concerned, Gerrard cannot compare with Castilla's De La Rede in terms of technical details, let alone Raul, Guti and others. Carrick's suspension There is also a big gap between the ball and Xavi Alonso. Even he may not be comparable to Mascherano, let alone Essien.

The skill of stopping the ball can definitely be regarded as the most important skill with the ball in the field of football.

Anyone who has played football must know that if you can't stop the ball as you want, how do you pass the ball or shoot the ball?

Why is Drogba's shooting accuracy so unsatisfactory?

In fact, his stoppage is really not very good. Even after three years of hard work by Yang Cheng, he has improved a lot, but he still cannot compare with Villa.

Someone also proposed an interesting theory. Players with small feet have finer skills, can stop the ball better, and are more flexible, because Villa, Raul, Guti, Xavi, Ronaldinho and others are all players with small feet. Villa is 1.75 meters tall, but The shoes are only size 38, which is really small.

In addition, Xavi Alonso is 1.83 meters tall and his shoes are size 40. David Silva is also 38 yards, and in Brazil, those stars with delicate skills generally have small feet and rarely exceed 40 yards.

It turns out that

Small feet do not necessarily mean lack of power. Roberto Carlos's shoes are size 37, but you can imagine how powerful his shot is. As for shooting accuracy. It's more about the surface of the ball that the shot touches, and it has nothing to do with the size of the foot.

But small feet are generally more flexible and faster. For example, the shoes of American sprinter Michael Johnson are less than 40, and the explosive power of Ronaldinho is also 40.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and it doesn't mean that Bigfoot can't use technology, but it just means that Yang Cheng feels it. In terms of playing with skills, players from southern European regions such as Portugal and Spain who are closer to the Latin style are undoubtedly more outstanding.

Therefore, Yang Cheng feels that what he cannot do in Liverpool is completely possible in Real Madrid.

But it takes time!

In the past, we mentioned tactics. We would all say tactical line, because it is a line composed of two or even multiple points, but I hope that starting from today, we will start to accept a brand new concept and thinking. That is the face !”

Yang Cheng put forward one of his latest ideas, which was also during his World Cup. It was finally summed up after observing the tactics of so many famous head coaches, as well as combining his coaching experience over the years and some advanced football knowledge he learned in his previous life.

Walking to the front of the tactical board, Yang Cheng replaced Benitez and looked more like a university professor giving lectures. Sitting below him, Benitez and Paul Bayer were both illustrious figures in European football. A famous tactical analyst, and Redondo was also a former football superstar, but everyone listened attentively.

If Yang Cheng's words get out, it will definitely make countless head coaches outside come to their senses and open up some new tactical ideas.

It's hard to say when the triangle tactical structure started, but Dutch football is based on the triangle, because it is the strongest, only three players can be connected in series, and it is changeable, so it quickly became a modern The most fundamental tactical unit in football, this is the greatness of Total Attack and Total Defense!”

Almost all tactics are based on triangular passing, especially those teams that pay attention to passing and receiving coordination.

Yang Cheng drew a triangle on the tactical board and circled three sharp corners, representing the three players.

The triangle tactic is composed of two points and one line. When attacking, any player who takes the ball will be surrounded by at least two receiving points to ensure that the team has a stable route for the ball under any circumstances. When defending, Use three players to form three lines and control the middle area!

But if we add one more player here, one more player here, and one more player here... Yang Cheng added one more point on each of the three sides of the triangle, and then connected it to the line. , you will find that there are three more triangles, and the entire area becomes one big triangle.

Three players can control a triangle, and six players can control five triangles and three diamonds. If they are placed on the court, they control the entire area. Therefore, if these six players can advance and retreat in a consistent manner, then in This area will be under their control!

According to Van Gaal, the rhombus is composed of two triangles, which adds flexibility and change while retaining the firmness and stability of the triangle.

In other words, there can be many different changes in this side controlled by 6 players. And it's strong.

And if all 11 players are included, there will be more triangles and diamonds, and the area that can be controlled will be larger, and this is a surface!

The so-called face is actually the 10 players in the entire lineup except the goalkeeper. The area they radiate on the court is regarded by Yang Cheng as a face.

Of course, the stadium is so big that players must maintain a compact and orderly formation. It is impossible to control the entire court, not only the length but also the width is impossible, so they have to move the surface they control through overall running.

Paul, do you still remember what we talked about on the train about total offense and total defense? Yang Cheng asked Paul Bayer.

The latter nodded.

I said at the time that total offense and total defense is about overall collaboration. The so-called advancing together and retreating together is just superficial. The core of true total offense and total defense is freedom, which is here, among these 10 players Under the control of this surface, they can freely perform and run!

No one is the core in theory, but in theory anyone can become the core. Every player has the same role. You run for me. You pull for me. You support me. I am also supporting you. You run, I pull for you, I support you, when this concept is extended to everyone on the court, it is a non-nuclear tactic!

In Yang Cheng's mind, it is not just the midfielder, but also the full-back and central defender. They must be included in this tactical system. The three lines of the entire team lineup are all part of the tactics.

In other words, the central defender can also be the initiator of the offense, and can also go forward to assist when the opportunity comes!

Some people will definitely find it strange that even the central defender is involved in the offense. What about the defense?

Actually. Once a real defensive system is established and the opponent launches an attack, the most important thing is actually not who appears at the center back position for the first time, but who can delay the opponent's attack for the first time.

This is a defensive idea that Yang Cheng has always emphasized, emphasizing the moment of transition between offense and defense. Delay and destroy the opponent's attack, and do this. What is needed is the whole team, not just the centre-backs.

The reason why Real Madrid has made center backs a stubborn problem and defense a joke over the years is because there are too many superstars in the frontcourt. When the ball is lost, they give the opponent too much time and space to counterattack, so the opponent always He was able to break into the 32-meter area before Real Madrid's defensive system was organized.

On the contrary, if you can effectively delay the opponent's quick counterattack the moment you lose the ball, then as long as your defense is organized and has enough depth, even if you place a forward in the central defender position, Even if the entire defense line is composed of national football players, it will be difficult for the opponent to score.

Of course, what we are talking about here is only mobile warfare, and tough battles are another matter.

It's a bit like... total offense, total defense, but... it's a bit different! Benitez frowned and shook his head. He was very distressed. He could tell where it was similar, but he couldn't tell where it was different.

Yes! Yang Cheng walked back with a smile, To truly interpret total offense and total defense to the extreme, that is, the center back can play forward when he reaches the forward line, the forward can organize when he returns to the midfield, and he can play when he goes to the back line. In defense, all the players are versatile and their positions are completely blurred. They are very familiar with every position and can grasp it accurately. With this set, it is total offense and total defense!

These words made Benitez's eyes light up for no reason. The first person that popped into his mind was Beckenbauer!

Free man!

He is the kind of all-around player who can defend, organize, assist, and shoot. If the 10 players on the court are all free agents and have enough tacit understanding and cooperation awareness, coupled with non-nuclear tactics, then no Is it the true definition of total offense and total defense?

That's true in theory, but in reality, there can't be perfection in this world, only close to perfection!

Yang Cheng himself was thinking that if one day, he organized a group of kids, started cultivating their skills and creativity from a young age, and then slowly refined and cultivated them, so that they could always play with this idea of ​​all-offense and all-defense. The ball, everyone can adapt to different positions, what will it look like in the end?

Moniz and Meulensteen's scientific training emphasizes that technology can be man-made, but in fact, the so-called quality of technology is actually the difference in training volume. As for creativity, it requires enlightenment and development. Therefore, it is entirely possible to achieve this as long as the right young player embryos are selected.

That is a very distant idea, but the problem Yang Cheng is currently facing is that the non-nuclear tactics look beautiful, but to achieve this kind of overall movement without the ball, it takes time and the players need to understand his idea.

The most important thing is that Real Madrid's current staffing is very restrictive to this tactic.

It is clear. Real Madrid doesn't even have a basic defensive system.

Tactics are composed of offense and defense, but offense and defense are difficult to distinguish during the game.

For example, if a player gets the ball and B gets close to him to fight, would you say B’s move is offensive or defensive?

If you say it's defense, he is indeed defense, because he can prevent him from continuing to dribble the ball calmly, but if he steals the ball successfully. So can his move be regarded as launching an attack?

Therefore, offense and defense have always been an inseparable whole. It is simply impossible to have offense alone without defense. And the non-nuclear tactics mentioned by Yang Chenggang are not just talking about offense. The same goes for defense.

only. The reality of Real Madrid is that Yang Cheng's best way is to rely on the central defender combination of Cannavaro and Thuram, as well as the double defensive midfielder of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano in front, to establish the position as soon as possible. Build a solid defensive system.

This is what Yang Cheng said before, first formulate a framework, and then slowly improve it. Through various means such as signings and improvements, he will slowly move towards the non-nuclear tactics he has in mind.

Because Real Madrid has always advocated aggressive tactics and placed great emphasis on offense. Therefore, when their midfielders and defenders appear in front of the camera, they are usually directly facing the opponent's attack, because at the moment of transition between offense and defense, no one can delay the opponent's counterattack.

Yang Cheng pays great attention to this, but he also knows very well that if he encounters teams with excellent attacking ability and ribbing, such as teams like Liverpool and Barcelona. Real Madrid's two central defenders are too old, and their lack of mobility will be exposed, which will make the defense very difficult, so he put double midfielders in front of the defense.

This is not a conservatism. Because Harvey Alonso's role is actually to be reflected in the retreat, because his confrontation ability is insufficient. Once he gets too deep into the opponent's defense, he can easily be strangled, and his passing range and accuracy are enough to ensure that he can create a threat even if he retreats into the penalty area.

The presence of Mascherano can effectively protect the 32-meter area. His range of activities can be earlier than Xabi Alonso, because he has enough mobility to ensure his defensive effectiveness, and his position is slightly further. Moving forward, we can appropriately strengthen the immediate counterattack after losing the ball.

In Yang Cheng's mind, this season's main lineup should be like this.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the left back is Arbeloa, the center backs are Cannavaro and Thuram, the right back is Ramos or Salgado, and the double midfielder must be Xabi Alonso Mascherano, Guti, Della Red, Granero and others can all play as substitutes, with David Silva or Mata on the left, Beckham, and David Shee on the right. The likes of Silva, Mata and Granero can also play on the right.

The two forwards of 442 are Raul and Villa, the latter is the guarantee of scoring, and Yang Cheng hopes that Raul will connect the midfield and frontcourt through running and support, and provide a transition for his teammates, because the double midfielder The configuration must ensure that there is a forward in front who retreats to participate in the advancement of the ball in the midfield. Whether it is Raul or Villa, they can do this.

Among the youth training players, the one that stood out to Yang Cheng the most was Granero. In his previous life, he was not highly used in Real Madrid. In fact, it was really a waste because his ball skills were impeccable. Through observations over the past few days, Yang Cheng found that his technical skills are very solid, and his pace and stopping of the ball are also very good.

Such a player contributes greatly whether it is offensive or defensive, and he has a high football IQ and excellent ability to read the game. He is definitely a midfielder who is trustworthy and cultivated, and even to a certain extent, Not losing to David Silva.

Not only Granero, but also several young players drawn from Real Madrid’s youth training, such as De La Rede, Granero, Negredo, Soldado, Arbeloa and other players, all have very solid basic skills, which shows that they During the youth training period, they received formal training, and the quality of Real Madrid's youth training can be seen from their bodies.

Only the high quality of youth training can train the basic technical skills of this group of players to be like textbooks. This is not something that any club can do.

And this also confirms what Yang Cheng said before, what Real Madrid's youth training camp lacks is not youth training, but a system that allows youth team players to be promoted to the first team.

In other words, the first team must first establish a system, and then let the youth team also establish it, and then provide a steady stream of players for the first team through the cultivation and training of the youth team.

The reason why the Barcelona model cannot be copied is because Barcelona has found their own way of football, and Yang Cheng wants to find Real Madrid's way of football.

If he really does this, he will become the greatest head coach in the history of Real Madrid, Cruyff of Real Madrid, and the godfather of football in Real Madrid!

This is the strongest lineup that Real Madrid can currently put together. Due to the restrictions of the team's recruitment and existing players, Yang Cheng can only organize tactics according to the cards currently in hand, but his overall philosophy and ideas are still the same. Moving towards non-nuclear tactics, he will constantly emphasize and instill this set of ideas and concepts in training.

When Thiago Silva and Ramos mature, they will replace Thuram and Cannavaro. By then, the existence of these two players can ensure that Yang Cheng can move Real Madrid's defense forward. 10 meters, or even more, and then arrange an offensive full-back like Marcelo on the wing, and then put a strong offensive lineup in front.

At that time, he can successfully implement the non-nuclear tactics he wants.

I believe that we have to wait until that time, and the truly invincible Real Madrid will come again!

Yang Cheng is looking forward to it. Real Madrid, the most powerful offensive team he has created, will encounter the extremely powerful Barcelona team in his previous life. The two teams will collide like Mars hitting the earth. Who can win?

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but become more proactive in his work enthusiasm.

As a result, his shouts could be heard all day long in Valdebebas, which was enough to prove his dedication to his work.

But while strengthening training, Real Madrid's signings have not stopped. (To be continued.)..Pavilion
