After Messi and Iniesta joined Real Madrid, speculation about Real Madrid's tactics and starting lineup for the new season has repeatedly appeared in the newspapers. Countless experts, reporters, and fans have expressed their opinions and expressed what they think may be possible. The starting lineup and starting tactics that emerged.

Without exception, 95% of people feel that it is impossible for Yang Cheng to change Real Madrid's starting tactics.

The reason is simple, running-in!

In the past five years, Real Madrid has been invincible in La Liga and is also invincible in the European arena. It can be said that there is no one of the most powerful teams in football today. If they rashly adopt a new Such tactics may very well lead to the overall collapse of the team. After all, there are no such precedents.

In 9 years, Manchester United was unparalleled and unbeatable, but Ferguson wanted to change the team's tactics and make Manchester United cater to the football style of the European continent. He introduced Veron from Kaiserslautern at a sky-high price. What was the result? Manchester United then suffered a slump. Although they had made some achievements in the Premier League based on their previous strength, they were immediately caught up by other teams in the Champions League.

Usually, as the head coach of a club, he will first establish a tactical system, and then make signings based on this tactical system to determine the overall situation. After the overall situation is settled, he will appropriately adjust the team's strategy based on the technical characteristics of the players. Tactical details, and then achieve the purpose of improving the entire tactical system.

Then, during the season, the head coach often only needs to adjust the team's tactics based on the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. For example, if the opponent's defense on the left is a loophole, then attack his own right; if the opponent's midfielder is defective, then Just actively play in the middle, etc. These are all on-the-spot changes, but they won't hurt your muscles and bones.

Against Chelsea in the Champions League final last season, Yang Cheng changed his tactics on the spot, taking a risk to the extreme. In the end, he won the game, which once again shocked the entire football world. Everyone has to admire him because today's football can do Not many people have reached this point, and he is considered the most successful among them.

From this game, it is actually not difficult to see that Yang Cheng has never been a conservative head coach. He likes to take risks and try. Although he can no longer break through the core tactical concepts he has established, However, he dared to boldly try out specific tactical details and formations, and even try things that others would not dare to try.

The three-back was a very common tactical formation in the 1990s, but it has gradually been cruelly eliminated by the football world, because when all teams generally have only one forward, the three-back looks very embarrassing.

Maybe many people will wonder, nonsense, three against one, why is it so embarrassing?

Look at everything this way,

Every team takes the goalkeeper, and there is one player on the court. The opponent plays one forward, and there are three players in the midfield and backcourt. If you play three defenders, there are seven players in the midfield and frontcourt. This undoubtedly forms a partial situation. Disadvantage in numbers within the area.

Maybe someone will say again, can't the three defenders run?

If you run, it will easily affect the team's formation and position, and it will easily create loopholes. Moreover, when you are running, the opponent is also running. The attacker is in an active position, but if you don't run, your defense will appear. Superfluous, but there is a shortage of people in the midfield and frontcourt.

Of course, this is only one aspect. If you want to analyze it in detail, there will be more, but an indisputable fact is that the three-back three has declined and is no longer popular.

But are the three defenders really useless?

Yang Cheng doesn't think so. At least he suddenly discovered a lot of benefits from the Champions League final against Chelsea.

First of all, the three-back system is more interesting than the four-back system in that it has more changes, and the three-back system has more space than the four-back system, and has a stronger ability to move parallelly in the defense area, which the four-back system does not have. Advantage.

Of course, there must be huge deficiencies in the defense of the three defenders on the wings. Therefore, in the past, teams that used three defenders usually arranged full-backs or full-midfielders who can attack and defend well on the left and right wings. Play a wing to make up for this shortcoming to the greatest extent.

But the requirements for full-backs and full-forwards are too high. If you want to play on the wing alone and be able to go up and down, it not only requires the players to have excellent physical fitness and tactical execution, but also has to have outstanding speed. All Full-backs who lack speed collapse in the 3-back system. They often go up but cannot come down, and are beaten by the opponent.

The most popular offensive tactic in today's football is the winger, which compresses the opponent's offense by shrinking the formation. Once the ball is obtained, he immediately forms a counterattack, efficiently using the width of the two wings to gain space from the opponent's flank, and finally Use wingers to break through the bottom or attack inside.

This tactic itself is a huge challenge for the full-backs, and it is undoubtedly more comfortable when facing the three-back system. Therefore, with the rise of wingers, it is also the decline of the three-back era.

Yang Cheng himself has used three defenders for many years. He is also credited with ushering in the era of wingers. He promoted Denilson to the throne of World Footballer, and later cultivated Ronaldinho, Robben, and Ronaldinho. For super wingers like Berry, it can be said that his achievements in this area are not inferior to anyone else.

Over the past ten years, Yang Cheng has accumulated rich coaching experience, and he also understands that there is no best tactical formation in the world, only the most suitable tactical formation.

In other words, it doesn't matter whether it is four defenders, three defenders, or even five defenders, the key is to be suitable!

Actively use width in the offense, actively move forward in the midfield and backfield to participate in deep attacks, maintain a tight formation, be careful of the opponent's counterattack, fully press the opponent, and maintain physical strength. These can be said to be the most basic four points summarized by Yang Cheng, which are most in line with today's football. The basics of tactics, everything else is secondary.

In other words, on the premise of running without the ball and having such a strong lineup of players in Real Madrid, it does not matter what tactical formation is adopted, because as long as Real Madrid can form a smooth offensive routine and advance, any No opponent can get any advantage from Real Madrid.

To make full use of the width of the field during the offense, Yang Cheng will arrange two wingers in front to assist a forward, that is, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are separated on the left and right wings. Aguero occupies the central forward position.

Messi's characteristic is that he almost never loses the ball after getting the ball. His ball control and passing abilities are outstanding, so Yang Cheng arranged for him to position deeper and cut in to the center appropriately, while also freeing up space for Kaká. Cutting to the space on the bottom line, the two formed an orderly cooperation.

Kaka's position is the attacking midfielder, with David Silva and Iniesta on his left and right sides.

At first glance, the two players David Silva and Iniesta seem to have very similar characteristics, but in fact, their functions can even be said to be completely different.

Yang Cheng calls David Silva a lubricant and a booster, which actually proves the characteristics of David Silva.

To be a lubricant, you must have excellent space-filling ability. When his teammates open up space, he knows how to go up and occupy the space immediately. His ability in this aspect is top-notch, and after he fills the space, he then His ability to stop and release the ball is also outstanding, coupled with his excellent off-ball running support, which makes his tactical role in the Real Madrid team very obvious.

The most amazing thing about Iniesta is his combination of man and ball. He has an excellent overall view, organization and final pass ability. This is very similar to David Silva, but he and David Silva The difference with Silva is that he is not fast, but his combination of man and ball is very good. He is often able to bring the ball out in extremely small gaps and create opportunities for his teammates.

If you carefully analyze Barcelona's games, it is not difficult to find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, Barcelona's tactics for Iniesta often allow him to dribble forward in the middle and then penetrate deep.

In many games, Barcelona suffered from tight pressure and marking by their opponents. Even Messi was unable to form effective breakthroughs and create opportunities in front. However, when the tactical focus shifted to Iniesta, the latter's position was higher than Messi's. If you sit further back, he can dribble the ball forward. As long as there is a player in front to cover, he can often catch the opponent off guard.

What's even more rare is that Iniesta's pace, rhythm, technique and ball feel are all very good, which allows him to find gaps in the densest defense, and then take the ball out of the dense defense and pass it to his teammates. Create opportunities.

From this point of view, the characteristics of Iniesta and David Silva are different, but the two people forming a midfield can completely complement each other, especially when they are attacking in the second level. The effect will be very obvious.

However, both players have an obvious flaw, that is, they both need teammates!

Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, and even Ronaldinho, they are all the kind of players who can support a team by themselves. They can become the soul of this team, and now Ronaldinho, Kaká and Messi are also this type of players, but neither David Silva nor Iniesta.

If the players are thrown into a weak team, Messi may not be as bright as he is now, but he will definitely still perform well. The same is true for Ronaldinho and Kaká. They can both become the core figures of the weak team, but if If David Silva and Iniesta throw away weak teams, maybe they will wither.

This is not to say that they are bad or lacking in strength. On the contrary, they are all very good. It is just that they have been trained under the current youth training system in Spain since childhood, forming their playing style, coupled with their physical strength. Their weaknesses make it impossible for them to face the opponent's strong pressing defense alone.

It is also for this reason that Yang Cheng placed David Silva and Iniesta on both sides of Kaká, while Xavi Alonso fell behind them to play as a midfielder, responsible for organization and play. Protect the line of defense.

The three defenders are Thiago Silva, De La Rede and Ramos. This is also an attempt by Yang Cheng.

In his opinion, what the three-back defensive system fears most is undoubtedly the opponent's side counterattack. With Real Madrid's current lineup and tactics, the most lacking thing is undoubtedly the side attack. However, he can maximize the The defense pressed forward to an astonishing level.

For example, against Chelsea, Real Madrid can press the defense line in front of Chelsea's 32-meter area, and then completely suppress the opponent in the half court. Real Madrid players are very good at handling the ball in small gaps. Ronaldinho and Kaká Slightly worse, but both players have offensive and support roles, especially Ronaldinho, who is more responsible for offensive tasks.

When the team was attacking, Kaka's position advanced to the 9th and a half. Messi cut in from the right, Aguero pulled the opponent's defensive player to the right, and Ronaldinho cut into the opponent's penalty area from the left, forming a third During a wave of offense, the three players formed a triangle running system, and Kaka was in the middle of the three players at any time as a mobile force to attract defensive pressure.

Of course, this set of tactics can also be used in reverse. Ronaldinho cuts inside, Aguero pulls to the left, and Messi cuts diagonally inside into the penalty area. This is just a routine, and players can flexibly adapt to the situation on the court.

Outside the triangular offensive area, David Silva and Iniesta can provide suppression. On the one hand, they can respond, deliver shells to the attackers in front, and form a counterattack immediately. On the other hand, they can also advance forward. Participate in the offense and create surprise attacks to hit the opponent's vulnerabilities exposed after being disrupted by the frontcourt triangle attack.

Xavi = Alonso and the three defenders provided support and protection from behind, forming a strong attack that firmly suppressed the opponent within the 32-meter area, just like the Champions League final, when Real Madrid suppressed Chelsea. Same throughout the game.

The ball always moves in the opponent's threatening area. This is undoubtedly the most favorable situation for Real Madrid. Moreover, Real Madrid plays three defenders and lacks wing offense. However, as long as necessary, any player in the midfield and backfield can play the offensive role of full-back. Real Madrid collectively entered the opponent's 32-meter area, and every move could create a threat.

Yang Cheng's tactics look beautiful in theory, and they are extremely beautiful, but not everyone can use them. Only Real Madrid has such strength, because Real Madrid now has this group of outstanding superstars.

In other words, if players such as Iniesta and David Silva are not delicate enough, then Yang Cheng would not dare to play like this.

Another point is that Real Madrid's pressing tactics are very good, and they are very active in counterattacking in the frontcourt. This can effectively prevent the opponent's counterattack and ensure the stability of the three defenders to the maximum extent.

My defense line is pressing forward to your 32-meter area. Your offensive players must be at least 68 meters away from my goal. If you want to launch an effective counterattack, after stealing the ball, the players must travel long distances with the ball. 60 meters, this is very difficult, because long-distance running seems simple, but not just anyone can afford it.

If you want to play a long-distance attack under the opponent's desperate pursuit, rhythm, dribbling frequency, and pace are all indispensable, because once you make a mistake in a certain link, your ball advancement will be slowed down. Down, the opponent's defensive players without the ball can catch up with you at any time.

So in today's football, there are so many speedy players, how many of them can run long distances?

When the team arrived in Kunming, Real Madrid began to enter the pre-season preparation stage.

There is a physical reserve training class in the morning, which is open to the public every three days. Some technical and tactical drills are also held at noon. In the afternoon, targeted training and group confrontation training are held. Each class is 90 minutes long, and the content is arranged very compactly.

Especially in the noon and afternoon training sessions, Yang Cheng began to focus on practicing the 3133 tactics he had developed for the team.

Theoretical things are not enough, it also depends on practice and the players' adaptability, such as three defenders. For so many years, Real Madrid has been playing four defenders, and suddenly three defenders, wing defense, and overall movement, especially The response between Dela Red, a free-flowing central defender, and his teammates are all problems.

Although Messi's joining has enriched the team's skills and tactics, how to coordinate the relationship between him and Ronaldinho, how to allocate him to take the ball and retreat in the midfield and frontcourt, how to let Ronaldinho and Aguero He formed a tacit understanding and cooperation with Messi's triangle attack, as well as Kaká's forward penetration.

These are all problems, but because these players are all players with very high golf IQs and outstanding skills, when Yang Cheng assigned tasks, they were able to quickly figure out that what was lacking was the formation of skills on the court. Cooperate and form a tacit understanding.

How David Silva and Iniesta in the midfield can effectively complement each other, and how Xavi Alonso can master the balance between going forward and going deep, all of which require a lot of practice and games to accumulate experience. Then grind it into shape.

And Yang Cheng mentioned more than once in the team's tactical meeting that the team has not yet determined the starting lineup and main position. He only said that he would play 3133. The specific candidates have not yet been determined. Everyone has a chance to play. After all, Granero can also play as a central midfielder, Parejo is also a strong challenger to David Silva and Iniesta, and Mata can also play as a winger and attacking midfielder.

Even Marcelo, a full-back, is actually very good at playing as a winger, especially his on-the-spot counterattack awareness and defensive ability, and his contribution to the team is also great.

As for Arbeloa and Miguel Torres, they can both serve as the team's left and right central defenders. Pepe and Kompany are also strong contenders for central defenders. Although the central defender is De La Red, Yang Cheng also The use of Thiago = Silva is not ruled out.

For Yang Cheng, the most important thing is to maintain the team's competition, and then let everyone try their best to perform and use their own strength, strive to win every game against the opponent, and ensure their position in the team.

Only in this way can he twist the Real Madrid team, which is full of superstars, into a rope and form a fighting force to prevent them from fighting separately.

And in the final analysis, the success or failure of a team must not only depend on these superstars, but also the substitute players in the team. They are also a very important part, affecting the stability and performance of the team throughout the season. .

Therefore, he must not only promote the team's internal competition, but also maintain unity and formulate an orderly rotation system to ensure the team's stability and unity.

On July 24, the much-anticipated Galacticos, which has the biggest collection of superstars in football history, finally officially set sail in China!
