Super Coach

\u003e 746 stepping stones

Yang Cheng once said something while teaching more than a hundred professional head coaches from all over the world in a UEFA coaching training class. It was cited as a classic by Kicker Magazine and considered to be a must for all head coaches. Stay on top of new football trends. WwW. NgWeNXuE. M

The idea of ​​players being stuck in one position is completely outdated!

There are many, many meanings that can be derived from this sentence. If you continue to delve deeper, you will definitely find the truth contained in it, as well as the current trend of football, which is to pursue players' multi-position attributes and even versatility.

He said from the beginning that when tactics continue to develop and every detail of the position on the court is taken to the extreme, it will inevitably trigger a new tactical thinking, which is to blur the position of the players.

So, in this case, how to bring out the characteristics of the players?

Find out the strengths and weaknesses of the players and arrange tactics for them by utilizing their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.

Like Harvey? Alonso, he is not very good at getting rid of, but he is excellent in medium and long passes, so Yang Cheng placed him in front of the defense line to avoid the opponent's defensive center. At the same time, he moved the defense line forward to give full play to his advantage in medium and long passes, so He played very well.

And Messi, anyone who carefully studies Barcelona's tactics will find that Guardiola's transformation of Messi has a very important reason, which is how to help Messi get the ball at the front of the defense line in positional battles. Messi is in 5 The acceleration in the distance of -10 meters is almost invincible, so as long as he can get the ball in front of the opponent's defense, he can quickly catch the ball and quickly take advantage of his speed to reach the most effective shooting area.

The same is true for Ronaldinho and Aguero.

Marca previously conducted an investigation and found that as Real Madrid's performance became more and more outstanding, Yang Cheng's 4231 at Real Madrid for three years gradually caused a trend of following the trend in Europe, and more and more head coaches are starting to follow suit. Learned from Real Madrid's tactics and benefited from them.

A reporter from Marca once interviewed tactician Lippi. Silver Fox felt that all of this was due to Yang Cheng redefining the impact of 4231. He gave everyone a new understanding of 4231.

In Real Madrid's team, the four players in the frontcourt have different characteristics. They assume four completely different attacking roles. Whether it is Ronaldinho, Villa, Kaká and David Silva, they are in The mutual exchange of positions during the offense allows each of the two roles to piece together different combinations according to the situation on the field, which brings great difficulty to the defense.

Just like this moment in the derby of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona,

To defend Aguero and to defend Ronaldinho are two completely different defensive methods, and they cannot be balanced at all. Therefore, Puyol leaned towards Aguero, who was unmarked after Pique grabbed the ball. When Raul took the When the ball was thrown, he had no choice but to save it, but missed Ronaldinho who was diagonally inserted into the penalty area.

No one was defending, no one was interfering, Ronaldinho stopped the ball and volleyed, very calmly, there was no reason why he couldn't score!

…………

…………

After originally seeing the situation being dragged into a stalemate by Barcelona, ​​many fans in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium were a little worried. After all, they had not been able to win such a big advantage before. Now that the advantage is gone, can Real Madrid still score goals? ?

The most fascinating thing about a football game is that you never know when the goal will come!

The most attractive thing about football games is that when every goal comes, you will be surprised, excited and excited!

Therefore, when Ronaldinho's powerful volley, using a nearly straight shooting line, passed the ball through the gap between the left post and Valdez into the Barcelona goal, there were 80,000 spectators in the entire Bernabeu Stadium. The famous fans were stunned for a full 2 ​​seconds.

The Real Madrid fans were surprised that the goal came too suddenly; the Barcelona fans were shocked by the goal and were a little confused, just like the Barcelona players on the court.

From Maicon's interception of the ball to Delared's pass, to the cooperation between Mata and Raul, and Aguero's off-the-ball support, all the processes happened in the blink of an eye, fully reflecting the strength of Real Madrid's offense. Fast and sudden, and disorderly.

The stronger the randomness of the attack, the greater the pressure on the defender!

Cristiano...Ronaldo!!!!!

Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats one by one, excitedly rushing to the court, rushing out of the penalty area, cheering for the Portuguese who was running all the way, and cheering for Raul who gave Ronaldinho a wonderful assist!

As Yang Cheng said, Raul moved very smartly. He caught the ball at the right distance from Puyol. The moment he caught the ball, Raul was unguarded, and Puyol's first reaction was to stop him. Raul kicked out from the front of the penalty area, so he saved it as quickly as possible, but this also meant that he saved the ball very fiercely and lost his position all of a sudden.

This is the cleverness of Raul!

Sometimes you don’t need to use brute force to play football, and you can often achieve better results by using your brain.

All the Real Madrid players rushed to the bottom of the stands and gathered together to celebrate Ronaldinho's opening goal. Although the Portuguese joined Real Madrid with a very high price, he has used his outstanding performances and wonderful goals again and again. The ball proved to be worth every penny.

Yang Cheng also applauded vigorously on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with the team's counterattack. He played beautifully, passing the ball and supporting without the ball, which effectively stretched Barcelona's defense and made it difficult to defend.

Keep up this style of play!

Don't shrink back, keep up the offensive pressure on Barcelona, ​​and fight back their counterattack!

Yang Cheng loudly gave instructions on the game tasks on the sidelines. He did not worry about the Barcelona players around him, nor did he worry about being heard by Guardiola, because he was not worried about being heard at all.

Because he really wants to see Barcelona and Real Madrid play against each other!

…………

…………

Guardiola frowned and watched the game.

After conceding 1 goal, he was actually not unprepared mentally. He had already prepared for the worst before the game. He was even ready to concede the goal at the beginning, so he also made arrangements for this situation.

After the restart, the Barcelona players also followed Guardiola's pre-match arrangement, passing the ball to their backcourt, slowly controlling the ball, and first stabilizing the rhythm.

However, Real Madrid took the initiative to press out, launching counterattacks and harassment in the midfield and frontcourt. The defense also pressed out, directly suppressing Barcelona in the half court, hoping to intercept the ball as soon as possible.

Pique couldn't stand Aguero's harassment and kicked the ball out. Ibrahimovic leaned against Pepe and stopped the ball.

Indeed, the Swede's height is a very threatening pressure on Real Madrid's defense, and as soon as he stops the ball, Messi will rush, Ibrahimovic will pass the ball, but Thiago? Silva suddenly stepped forward.

The Brazilian was really fast. He just got ahead of Messi and passed the ball to Granero, who was chasing behind Messi.

Granero passed to Arbeloa, who made a long pass and passed the ball to Raul who ran out of space on the left. Raul transferred the ball to Ronaldinho's feet, but the Portuguese When he was dribbling the ball forward, he was restricted by Puyol and had to take a long shot before entering the threatening range. As a result, Valdez saved it.

But only a minute later, Maicon passed the ball to Mata, who advanced with the ball from the ribs. After attracting Abidal, he passed the ball to Pique, who wanted to steal the ball. But Aguero kicked the ball forward one step ahead of him, accelerated to catch up, and shot a shot from about 10 meters inside the penalty area, which was saved by Valdes again.

Then Real Madrid's corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Puyol, and then Dela Red's long shot was high.

On the side of the court, Guardiola also noticed that Real Madrid's offense was gradually improving. Their defense was already in place. Barcelona played very passively and was suppressed everywhere, unable to pass the ball effectively.

Ibrahimovic is a good fulcrum, but Real Madrid has done a good job in defending forward and preventing Ibrahimovic from turning around. On the contrary, the cooperation between Ibrahimovic, Messi and Henry is only effective when Ibrahimovic holds his position. , once he retreats to get the ball, or pulls to the side to get the ball, it is easy to overlap with Henry and Messi.

Although it has been less than a season since joining Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic

The nickname is not chosen randomly.

Guardiola himself knows very well that facing Real Madrid in this derby of the century, Barcelona has lagged behind psychologically from the beginning. It is impossible for the players to be calm, especially after losing the ball, Busquets, Messi The other players looked nervous, anxious, and even a little impatient, which caused Barcelona to make a lot more mistakes.

Also, Real Madrid's restraint has had a huge impact on Barcelona. The movements of Raul and Mata are always blocked in the area between Barcelona's defense and midfield. This makes the distance between the midfield and the defense too large and somewhat disconnected. .

Now it is a dilemma for Guardiola.

To keep the three lines compact and orderly, there are no more than two options. The defense line presses forward and the frontcourt players retreat.

If it's the former, with Real Madrid's current offensive so fierce, and the speed and counterattacks of Real Madrid players so sharp, the risk is too great, but if it's the latter, pulling back the frontcourt players will mean that Barcelona has to play something similar to Chelsea's defensive tactics will become extremely passive on the scene, which is what Guardiola does not want to see.

Both options can be said to have pros and cons, and both are very risky.

Fans who often watch games will notice that many times people with a discerning eye know that the team is passive, but the head coach still does not make appropriate adjustments. This is because the head coaches at the scene know all the options in their hearts. They are all dilemma questions.

After all, if both strength and tactics are restrained, it will be difficult to turn around!

Of course, Real Madrid's tactics cannot be invincible, nor can they be perfect, but there are not many teams that can restrain Real Madrid today. Chelsea is the best, but Mourinho's defensive tactics are something that Barcelona cannot do. willing to accept.

The disparity in overall strength left Guardiola almost unable to think of any solution and could only continue to watch the game.

…………

…………

After Real Madrid scored, the game seemed to have returned to the opening stage. Real Madrid once again suppressed Barcelona and beat them severely.

But now that Real Madrid has one ball in hand, they are playing more patiently and smarter.

In the 43rd minute, Thiago? Silva made a long pass and sent the ball to Barcelona's right wing, which is Real Madrid's left wing. Ronaldinho got the ball and drove straight in. Alves, who had gone too far forward, wanted to chase back. Can't catch up.

When Ronaldinho brought the ball to Barcelona's penalty area, Puyol returned to defend and got stuck in Ronaldinho's way into the penalty area. However, the Portuguese suddenly stopped suddenly, accelerated suddenly, and just shook Puyol away. Joel was halfway up, picked up the ball and passed the ball.

The ball passed over Puyol's feet, not high, and fell quickly, just in front of the left post. Aguero, who had previously cooperated with Ronaldinho to get in, drove straight in and pushed the ball in. Bottom right corner of the goal.

When the referee blew the whistle that the goal was valid, Pique, who returned to defense, caught up behind Aguero.

The whole Bernabeu was completely boiling!

All Real Madrid fans shouted Aguero's name excitedly!

The Argentine striker, who had just reached a contract extension agreement with the club and rejected Barcelona's poaching, completely put Barcelona on the road with a goal!

2:0, Real Madrid scored another victory in the 43rd minute, Barcelona's situation is already very dangerous!!

The on-site commentators did not expect the situation of the game. At least they originally thought that Real Madrid, who fought on two fronts, should be very tired. Even if they were on the bench, they should be different from Barcelona in terms of strength. No matter what, they might just be neck and neck. .

However, judging from the course of the game, Real Madrid's tactics completely suppressed Barcelona's performance, especially Yang Cheng's fine-tuning, which brought devastating disaster to Barcelona and occupied an absolute advantage at the Bernabeu!

This is the gap!

Not only is the gap in the team's overall strength, but also the gap in the team's tactics!

Faced with such a gap, Guardiola has nothing to do!

The first half of the game is about to end. Barcelona must take advantage of the 15 minutes of the intermission to find a way to restrain Real Madrid as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to perform in the second half and they may continue to Overpowered by Real Madrid.

While the on-site commentator was talking, the referee also officially blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

Real Madrid entered the halftime break with a score of 2:0.

…………

…………

You will be an important part of the team's offense and play a core role!

In the dressing room of the visiting team at the Bernabeu, Ibrahimovic lowered his head, sweat dripping down his long hair on the floor, drowning in the noisy dressing room. Many Barcelona players complained to each other about what they had done during the first half of the game. Things that happened.

Henry is complaining that Messi did not pass the ball to him because he ran out of a very advantageous position; Messi is complaining that his teammates did not send him enough shells; the defensive players are complaining about the two lost balls and each other. Shirking responsibility.

There was a commotion in the entire locker room, and only a few players, including Ibrahimovic, did not participate.

The Swede lowered his head and gasped, but the words Guardiola said to him when he first joined the team when they first met him appeared in his mind. In his opinion, this represented the coach's love for him. expectations and commitments.

Once, he had very high expectations for his trip to Barcelona, ​​because he knew that on a big platform like Barcelona, ​​it would be more likely to win the highest honor like the Ballon d'Or. At that time, he never dreamed of waiting. His would be such a nightmare.

Is his performance poor? Not too bad!

Guardiola has told Ibrahimovic in private many times that Barcelona can play the current tactics because of his indelible contributions and sacrifices. However, when the media criticized and even tried Ibrahimovic, Guardiola did not defend it. Ibrahimovic instead chose to protect Messi.

Why do so many people call Ibrahimovic

?

It is because Guardiola consciously turned Messi into a pseudo center. In his tactics, he required Ibrahimovic to cooperate with Messi in running. He asked Ibrahimovic to increase the frontcourt pressing and increase more running.

But the question is, can Ibrahimovic do it?

In the 26th minute, I obviously made a gesture to you, why did you still run into the penalty area?

Messi didn't know when he walked up to Ibrahimovic and asked coldly.

Don't you know that you and I overlapped and missed an attack opportunity?

Although the Argentinian is small, he is very loud and powerful when questioning.

No wonder, he is the number one star in the Barcelona team and can be regarded as his own child. After Ronaldinho and Eto'o left, and after Xavi and Iniesta became accustomed to serving Messi, he is like this The team's natural top star has a series of privileges.

Guardiola has said many times that all Barcelona offenses revolve around Messi!

Then when I was in a better position than you, you chose to shoot instead of passing the ball? Ibrahimovic raised his head and asked. He is not a good person either.

As early as in the game, Ibrahimovic had complained to Messi because he was in a better position, but the Argentine chose to fire on his own, which turned into an anti-aircraft gun, which made Ibrahimovic very annoyed.

In his opinion, he serves Messi, so should Messi also get something in return?

Frankly speaking, for Ibrahimovic, who has always been self-centered in playing football, he is willing to put down his body, play the ball for Messi, and pull the defense line for Messi. This is already a rare thing. , but Messi was not grateful for this at all, but took it for granted.

If it were Henry, he would choose to accept it. The situation is stronger than the person. Messi's strength and potential are the undisputed brother of Barcelona. Coupled with the support of Barcelona's management and coaching staff, he indeed has a Series privileges.

But Ibrahimovic is always a thorn in the side. The temper of Ibrahimovic, who has always been nicknamed arrogant and big-mouthed, is not as good as his style of play, especially now that Barcelona is lagging behind and he himself is doing nothing and is getting angry.

I chose to shoot because I felt I was sure to score! Messi glared at Ibrahimovic who talked back.

Ibrahimovic suddenly stood up, and his burly body completely covered Messi. Especially his angry look made everyone in the locker room look over, You The so-called grasp, but you *** shot the ball into the stands, and your *** grasp means wasting the opportunities we created for you again and again!

I came to Barcelona to play football, not to be a stepping stone for some privileged people! Ibrahimovic pointed at Messi and shouted word by word.

Puyol, Pique and others rushed forward immediately, fearing that Ibrahimovic would accidentally hit Messi, so they immediately stood between them.

Guardiola, who had just opened the door to the locker room, stared blankly at the two men in front of him who were about to start a fight. They were full of gunpowder. Their expressions were as serious as if it was the end of the world, but he couldn't say a word!
