Super Coach

\u003e Anyone who knows Yang Cheng and has worked with him knows that Yang Cheng’s achievements today are not accidental. In addition to the fact that he has a group of outstanding assistants and his own excellent strength, there is another very important factor. The reason is that he never underestimates any opponent, including Barcelona, ​​which he has never lost. 【Xia Mi Literature

Many people thought the Barcelona-Chelsea game was boring, but it was such a boring game that Yang Cheng watched it no less than 10 times. Everyone in the coaching staff and scouting department wrote a technical report and submitted it. To Yang Cheng, and after the opponent in the Champions League final was determined to be Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid held at least three tactical meetings about Barcelona's game.

All this is unknown, not even the players know, but Yang Cheng has done a lot of things silently behind the scenes.

That game was 0:0. In other words, both sides restrained each other very well and hardly gave the other side any obvious scoring opportunities. In a sense, this represents a tactical success. .

In the technical report of Yang Cheng, the coaching staff and the scouting department, a very important reason for Chelsea's inability to break through Barcelona's defense was the issue of advancement. As long as you study that game carefully, you will find an interesting fact. Every time Chelsea enters Barcelona's 32-meter area, Messi will retreat.

Messi is definitely the best player in today's football field. There is no doubt about this. Many fans believe that the Barcelona system created Messi. This is true, but it should also be viewed in a fair way. Why did Barcelona create it? A Messi? What if you can't create a second or third Messi?

Treat your opponent fairly and impartially, this is the first step to limit your opponent!

Messi is a player who puts aside his skills. In terms of his ability to read the game on the court, as well as his understanding and prediction of the game, he really has the level of a top player. Yang Cheng can even say that in terms of golf intelligence, Christie Arnold? Ronaldo is inferior.

However, the Portuguese has his own advantages, such as his explosive power, his body, and his comprehensiveness.

So this game against Chelsea. After Messi retreats, he always consciously gets stuck in the triangle area between Motta, Mikel and Carvalho, just like he is always consciously active in Xavi Alonso in this game. , De La Rede and Thiago Silva.

However, Messi's retreat does have certain benefits for defense, but the damage to offense is greater. Especially when Guardiola removes a center and replaces him with a central defender, there is a lack of space in the penalty area during offense. An effective threatening player.

Messi's threat lies in dribbling the ball, cutting inside and running in behind.

Called a false forward, Pedro is not very good at holding the ball. But his advantage lies in his horizontal and vertical running ability, as well as his support, which makes the cooperation between him and Messi very good, but Pedro is also good at moving on the wing. Cut inside after finding space.

There is no threat in the penalty area. After Messi retreats, he can indeed play the role of connecting and connecting the team's offensive advancement. However, Barcelona's offense lacks depth. Once the ball reaches the 16-meter area, which is the penalty area, it cannot go further. One step forward.

No matter how great a player is. Excellent. Can you break through the opponent's two lines of defense at once?

The reason why Kaka is outstanding is that his high-speed breakthrough with the ball in the middle can directly tear open the two lines of defense, but that happened during a counterattack. In a positional battle, it is impossible for any player to be able to do this.

Therefore, in the game against Chelsea, Barcelona's offense was never able to penetrate Chelsea's penalty area and could not hit the key point.

It was impossible for Yang Cheng to not understand this, so he tried to let Barcelona attack after the start. On the one hand, they want Barcelona to press out and play, and on the other hand, they want to test it out. Can Guardiola solve this problem?

Let Xabi Alonso retreat a little more to protect the center! Yang Cheng made the first adjustment of the game.

Horizontal and vertical pulls from Pedro. Messi also actively runs back and forth from the wing, which makes the two central defenders look forward and backward. Once Messi and Pedro get in touch, the gap between the central defender and the defender will be easily exposed. //Xia Mi Literature

After the opening, Barcelona's offense lacked depth and was not a big threat, but sooner or later this would be noticed, so Yang Cheng warned in advance that he would prevent Barcelona from even making a threatening attack.

Xabi Alonso retreats to the front of the penalty area, and Ramos and Thiago Silva are protected in front. They don't have to worry about the defense of the space created by Pedro and Messi after cutting inside. , and Xabi Alonso retreats and can escape from Barcelona's defensive center.

But De La Red cannot come back. He has to withstand Xavi and Iniesta in front, relieve Barcelona's pressure on Real Madrid's defense, and liberate the offensive threats from Maicon and Marcelo on the wings.

Guardiola still thinks his tactics are a bit too simple! Yang Cheng shook his head and commented in an old-timer's tone, I have to admit that giving up the center and using the combination of Pedro and Messi will have a negative impact on Barcelona's defense and offense. It is a very effective adjustment, but the problem is that the adjustment is too large, and it can easily lead to a situation where the east wall is demolished to make up for the west wall!

Now Barcelona's defense is much more stable, the ball possession rate has been restored, and Alves can also join the attack. But the problem is that Barcelona's offense now lacks a deep threat.

Generally speaking, during the season, the head coach is unwilling to change multiple positions in the team's tactics unless it is absolutely necessary. He usually makes adjustments in one or two positions, because the more positions you change, the greater the impact. Big, this is not a simple problem of one plus one equals two, but a superposition effect.

Look at how many positions Manchester United has been adjusted by Ferguson over the years?

Real Madrid has played 4231 for four years. Have you ever seen which position Yang Cheng removed? At best, it is to withdraw the position originally belonging to David Silva to the midfielder, participate in series and support, and let Kaka move more to the right, becoming 433.

Major adjustments are taboo, because without a long period of testing and running-in, no one knows whether the adjusted tactics will expose more serious problems than before during the course of the match. It is difficult to give you enough time to solve these problems, and it will only become a vicious cycle in the end.

They all say that with Real Madrid's current lineup, it will not be a problem to monopolize the Champions League for four to five years, but if you give me another Messi, I can monopolize the Champions League for ten years! Yang Chengcheng said sincerely.

Many people say that the Barcelona system created Messi, which makes sense, but since Guardiola came to power, the situation has changed. It is Messi who supports Barcelona's current tactical system, because Barcelona's ball control system has a very big problem and flaw.

Barcelona is in a confusing situation, no matter Rijkaard, Guardiola or Cruyff, they are not aware of this problem, that is, their midfield and frontcourt lack flexibility!

Xavi wanted to ensure the team's possession of the ball in front of the 32-meter area. He needed a support beside him, so he needed Iniesta, who became Keita. Sorry, it didn't work. A support point is needed behind him, so Busquets must be there. Yaya Toure is too aggressive. Barcelona didn't like it.

Possessing the ball in the 32-meter area is like a rein on the fierce horses of the Barcelona players. Iniesta can move, but does he dare to stay away from Xavi? Does Busquets dare to leave his position? Does Pedro dare to go to the middle like Ronaldinho, or go to the front? Does Messi dare to move forward a little further, or to the right?

Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt seem complicated. There is actually only one core. Make every effort to maintain ball control in the 32-meter area!

This system has actually been figured out by all teams. Barcelona will now find that, let alone playing against strong teams, even against weak teams, they sometimes have a very difficult time, but they just think it is The issue of player status has nothing to do with the team system, in fact it is quite the opposite. This is a system problem, but the players are in good condition. Or when the state is average but the strength is stronger than the opponent. This problem can be covered up.

This is Barcelona's seven inches!

Youdao is to hit the snake seven inches. What Yang Cheng wants is a fatal blow, so he is not in a hurry. He first lets Xabi Alonso retreat to block the interference and threat of Messi and Pedro to the central defender. , and then let De La Red suppress Xavi and Iniesta, while Kaká and David Silva retreated a bit to contain Busquets.

If in the first ten minutes, Barcelona could still create a little threat, then ten minutes later, the smooth and fast and skillful ball control that Cruyff had expected did not appear. On the contrary, Barcelona started on the court. It became slow, turnovers began to increase, and the ball possession rate gradually declined.

De La Red is a very smart player. He is not the kind of strong man who can't run to death, but he is very smart and has excellent ability to read the game and predict, which makes him even when facing Xavi and Iniesta. At this time, they were able to successfully prevent Barcelona's ball movement. Coupled with the help of Kaká and David Silva, and Marcelo's containment of Alves, Real Madrid quickly suppressed it in a targeted manner. Barcelona had the ball.

This is an unsolvable problem, because Xavi himself knows very well that without effective ball control within the 32-meter area, Barcelona's system will not be able to operate smoothly. Once Barcelona's system is restricted, what is waiting for them next? ?

…………

…………

Barcelona's ball possession rate dropped a lot from the 11th minute to the 20th minute. From more than 70% of the ball possession rate before, it dropped to 62% now. Moreover, they seemed to be inhibited on the scene and were never able to organize an effective offense. . The on-site commentator shook his head and sighed, There were many mistakes in passing between Xavi and Iniesta. Can the direction and strategy be changed?

After hearing this, Cruyff felt bitter in his heart. To put it bluntly, Barcelona's possession of the ball seems to be very fluid, but in fact, if you look at the area occupied by the players in Barcelona's tactical formation, they Almost standing still.

In other words, Barcelona's players seem to run a lot, but in fact in many cases they run within their own area and rarely leave their own area. The reason is very simple. In order to ensure that the ball holder can move at any time and anywhere. Find the route of the ball, so some people say that Barcelona players know where the ball is going to pass even if they close their eyes. This is the reason.

But there are many problems with this, especially after encountering a strong team like Real Madrid, it is easy to be suppressed by the opponent.

On the contrary, Real Madrid's movement without the ball is more varied, more difficult to defend and predict, and Ronaldinho can break through the bottom. He can cut inside the penalty area and dribble the ball laterally, because he knows very well that his teammates will cooperate with him to run, and then the next player will cooperate with them to run, one link closely linked to the other.

That's why everyone says that Real Madrid's ball is better because it's more sudden, while Barcelona's is more mechanical. Therefore, Barcelona's offense is relatively easier to defend.

Guardiola must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible to help Messi and Xavi escape from the cage set by Real Madrid. Only when they escape from the prison can Barcelona's offense and organization be released and be able to show their threat again. If If we can't do this, Barcelona's offense will become increasingly difficult to produce!

Xavi and Messi are the two key players for Barcelona. Once they are strangled, Barcelona will also be fatally affected, especially in the frontcourt. If Messi cannot be released, Pedro alone will not be able to create a threat at all.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​which is increasingly unable to play effective offense, the ball possession rate is gradually weakened. Real Madrid's offense is becoming more and more threatening, especially Real Madrid's offense on both sides is becoming more and more active.

With Xavi Alonso in charge, Barcelona only has two frontcourt attacking players, Messi and Pedro, so Yang Cheng can safely let Marcelo and Maicon participate in the attack. Real Madrid's wingers are playing more and more live.

27th minute. Real Madrid intercepted Pedro's ball. A wave of attacks was launched from the right.

After Maicon got the ball on the right, he dribbled the ball forward along the right and quickly advanced to Barcelona's half.

Because Barcelona's Abidal was positioned deep and lacked effective protection in the midfield, Iniesta had to move over from the center in an attempt to intercept Maicon, but at the same time as Iniesta moved over, David Schie Silva was also running back.

Maicon faced David Silva. He beat Iniesta and passed the ball to David Silva. The latter stopped the ball with one kick and faced Xavi running from the side. As soon as his left foot stopped and his heel clicked, the ball seemed to have eyes, flying from David Silva's feet to behind Iniesta.

A very beautiful heel pass from David Silva! the on-site commentator exclaimed.

The Real Madrid fans at the scene gave thunderous applause and cheers, but it was obvious that their applause and cheers should not stop, because Maicon quickly passed Iniesta with speed.

Xiaobai's speed could not be compared with the high-speed Maicon, so the Brazilian got the ball earlier than Iniesta who was chasing back, and continued to dribble forward, but this time he did not choose to stick to the right wing. Instead, he realized that Iniesta was left behind, and that Barcelona's weakness was on the right side of the penalty area.

After dribbling the ball diagonally, Maicon dribbled the ball in from the right like a winger, forcing Abidal to move with him. Busquets immediately moved to the right. Protect the frontier of the restricted area.

Villa also pulled out of the penalty area immediately. He cleverly moved between Busquets and Pique. Maicon passed the ball low to the penalty area before Busquets and Abidal formed a double-team. At the front, Villa, who retreated, blocked Pique with his body. After getting the ball, he didn't stick to it and pushed it to the left.

Kaka appeared in the position before Busquets. Villa's pass came to his feet. As soon as he got the ball, he saw Milito save from the penalty area. Kaka took advantage of the situation and dunked the ball to the left. From the side, he passed Milito, who was throwing too fiercely, and was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area. After attracting Puyol's attention, he pushed with his left foot.

The ball passed behind Puyol from the left. Ronaldinho, who had been ambushing outside the penalty area, got behind Puyol at this time. After getting the ball, he volleyed directly. The ball went from Valdes and Between the left-hand posts, he drilled into the goal.

This shot was so powerful and heavy that it caused a wave of waves when it hit the net, and it continued to beat after landing.

allllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!

In the roar of the on-site commentator, all the Real Madrid fans in the audience rushed out of their seats in an instant and shouted in unison. For a moment, they forgot what slogan they were going to shout, causing them to shout in a mess until they After seeing Xiao Luo turn around and rush out of the penalty area, he shouted Xiao Luo's name loudly.

Cristiano Ronaldo!!

All the Real Madrid fans in the audience were chanting this name. The Portuguese raised his arms and rushed under the fans in the South Stand of Real Madrid to accept the cheers from this group of the most die-hard Real Madrid fans.

In the 27th minute, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal, 1:0!

This is a very beautiful team goal. The Real Madrid players run back and forth with each other very well, and the passing and receiving are very skillful. Barcelona was unable to effectively prevent Real Madrid from advancing in the entire process. This is a very beautiful goal. ball!

When Cruyff saw Ronaldinho, Kaka and others hugging each other on the sidelines and celebrating their first goal, he seemed helpless, shaking his head and sighing.

I said, Real Madrid's offense is very sharp, which is reflected in the running of each of their players and the mastery of distance. This is an incredible kind of playing intelligence. It is obvious that Barcelona still shows too much The big flaw, especially after being severely cut off by Real Madrid, was that he couldn't even fight back effectively.

Yang Cheng's action of clenching his fists appeared on the big screen in the stadium, and he was immediately greeted by cheers from all the Real Madrid fans.

In this stadium, he is the undisputed king and leader!

Yang Cheng's adjustment was very decisive and ruthless. Barcelona's attack only lasted about 10 minutes, and now they conceded the ball in the 27th minute. All this will undoubtedly break Guardiola's overall plan.

Cruyff analyzed, but also reminded: But the most important thing for Guardiola now is to prevent an emotion, which is the emotion from self-confidence to inferiority. Players are likely to be contained due to tactics, lose momentum on the scene, lose the ball, etc. The influence of multiple factors caused them to lack confidence and lose their sense of the game, which would lead to more passivity on the scene.

As a head coach, Guardiola must prevent this from happening. (Your support is my biggest motivation.)
