The frenzied atmosphere of the Sun Devil Stadium burned the reason of the audience, and they enjoyed today's Super Bowl with enthusiasm.

Aldridge looked down at the field with a wine glass in his hand, surrounded by a group of players, some of them understood the rules of rugby, some of them didn’t, it didn’t matter, rugby is not a difficult sport to understand.

Especially the rhythm of the game in the offensive and defensive divisions. The two teams facing each other will have an offensive group and a defensive group. It is clear at a glance who is attacking and who is defending.

As long as you watch the game for five minutes, you will know that the team leading the offense and planning the offense after the kick-off will be the core of the team, the quarterback.

Aikman of the Dallas Cowboys and O'Donnell of the Pittsburgh Steelers, two super quarterbacks dominate the offense of their respective teams.

When Aikman completed a precise long pass to help the team advance the offensive yardage, Aldridge turned his head and smiled at Pirlo: Quarterbacks are very demanding on the field, and passing is one of the basic qualities. Passing short passes must be extremely accurate. At the same time, it is necessary to read the situation on the field between lightning and flint, pass the ball to a safe area, and sometimes take risks, but the risk will be great. If it succeeds, it may help teammates directly. TD, if you fail and get intercepted by your opponent, it will be a devastating blow.

Pirlo took it very seriously. With his football wisdom, he understood that Aldridge's words can also be applied to the football field.

The quarterback is not the running back who rushes to the forefront, but it is definitely the soul of the team, and he belongs to the kind of handsome talent who strategizes and wins thousands of miles.

But the contemporary football world is still the era of the front midfielder, and Pirlo asked: Is the quarterback a No. 10 player on the football field?

Aldridge shook his head and said: The No. 10 player is the core of the team. He can pass, shoot, and shoot. This requires a lot of players. Andrea, I want to discuss it with you and your teammates. The trend of football tactics is very important to your future development, because when you are at the peak of your career, you will be in the process of changing the trend of football tactics. Of course, I dare not judge the next ten years or two There will be changes in football tactics in ten years, but some changes will definitely occur.

The players looked a little serious, discussing tactics with the head coach. This is not a job requirement, but it definitely helps their growth and helps them understand the role Aldridge has arranged for them to play on the court.

Aldrich said thoughtfully: We can first look back at the evolution of football tactics, 127,235, WM, 424,442, 343,433,451, etc. There is a clear trend, the formation structure is more reasonable, and the number of forwards is Reduction, increase of midfielders, why? In addition to the influence of rules, the most important thing is tactical innovation, Arsenal's WM in the 1930s, Italy's chain defense in the 1960s, Holland's total defense in the 1970s, etc. Wait, until today, it is almost impossible to have a tactical revolution, because the world is entering an era of synchronization, which means that the most popular tactics will be studied and imitated by everyone, and it is difficult for anyone to innovate, and like some countries that are derailed from the world , They will surprise people tactically, for example, North Korea will put up a weird formation of 3331, but thinking about it in reverse, it is because they refused to synchronize with the world that they can have such alternative innovations, although they are failures.”

The players listened attentively to Aldridge's speech, as if obsessed. As football players,

Naturally, I like to hear some novel viewpoints that seem like Arabian Nights but are by no means nonsense.

442 is considered to be the formation created by England. It is still in use today, but in that year, Maslov in Dynamo Kyiv actually changed to 442. At that time, he was strongly questioned. His 442 and England won the World Cup. The 442 is similar but has no mutual inheritance relationship, and Maslov said in his defense: a football is like an airplane, the increase in speed means that the air resistance also increases, so you have to make the nose more Streamlined. If you don’t think about the sentence itself, it doesn’t make any sense, but what he wants to express, I think it’s like this: When the players’ speed is getting faster and faster, they need to find space to become It is more difficult, so the offensive players have to hide deeper, so that they are not easy to be guarded by the opponent.

Aldridge's words made these people who really played football nod frequently.

Even the top striker will always be marked to death, and there will be no bright spots in the game. Therefore, there are two points to be done in the offense, one is to find defensive loopholes, and the other is to conceal the offensive point.

Pirlo seemed to think of something and said, The striker retreats.

Aldrich snapped his fingers, nodded and said: The striker retreats, or the diversification of the striker's role ability. When a striker has the ability to play an organizational role, his retreat support or organization will disrupt the opponent. The man-to-man plan makes one's offense flexible and changeable. It is a bit like the nine and a half players we call now, but this type of player has too high technical requirements. It may take five years for football to have a top player in this position. Now, the best player in this position is Baggio. He can drop back to support the organization, often send assists, and can also score goals, but not every player who wants to play this position can do what he does. There are many attacking midfielders who can assist, and there are also many forwards who can score, but it is too difficult to combine the two and achieve a balance that can sublimate the team.

Saying that, Aldridge looked at Nedved meaningfully.

A player in that position needs to be able to pass, burst and shoot. Nedved fits these characteristics, and Aldridge also hopes that he can become such a player.

Pirlo looked a little sad, he understood his own characteristics, and dribbling and breakthroughs were not his strong point at all.

Remember when we played Manchester United twice this season?

Aldrich asked with a sip of wine.

The players nodded, and the players who played the game are still fresh in their memories.

Aldridge said with a smile: When the game reaches a certain level, the pair strangling of the offensive and defensive ends is very tragic. We stare at their forwards, they stare at our forwards, and even all the offense in the frontcourt. Players have no room to attack, but who is the player who changes the situation of the game? It is the player who dribbles the ball and suddenly enters the penalty area, the full back suddenly assists and disrupts the opponent's defensive rhythm, the striker withdraws and suddenly throws a cold arrow, etc. , instead of just taking it one step at a time and using the same number of people to finish the attack in a textbook position. We have been playing well and scoring a lot of goals, but do you understand what kind of environment our goals come from?

Ballack blurted out: Fast push after defense.

The other teammates nodded in agreement. The tactical concepts they instilled in training were perfectly executed on the court, which also allowed their youth team to achieve excellent results.

Aldridge nodded and said: That's right, the tactical trend in football is based on defense. It is very difficult for us to attack after the opponent sets up the defensive formation. Similarly, we set up the defense and wait for the opponent to attack, which will also give the opponent Create a lot of resistance, so our offense is often based on the failure of the opponent's attack. It is when the opponent has not yet set up a defensive formation at the end of the attack. At that time, the opponent has many loopholes. The ball is advanced quickly, the players spread out to find space, and the important reason for taking advantage of the speed advantage is that we want to destroy the opponent before the defense is finished.

The players listened intently, and many of them may have fully understood part of the essence of their current football style after Aldridge explained in detail.

Soccer is a back-and-forth competitive sport where you attack me and I attack you. It is different from the rhythm of rugby, where the offensive team goes off the field after one side attacks and the defensive team comes up to defend. Seconds are used to define the stage, and as the pace accelerates, the characteristics of the players become more comprehensive. Quick counterattacks are the foundation of the top teams.

If you have watched Guardiola play football, you may have the same emotion as me: Barcelona seems to be missing someone. Yes, he is actually very inconspicuous, honestly staying in the backcourt to do dirty work, after getting the ball He honestly passed to his teammates. Only in some sorted out elite videos can he see his ability to pass threatening balls and draw from the bottom of the pot in counterattacks. However, in the 90 minutes of the game and the 42 rounds of La Liga, his highlights were not as many as Not much, there is a sentence I hope you don’t spread out, so as not to be misunderstood by the media and cause trouble, I think Guardiola is a disciple of Cruyff who failed to train him successfully.”

In this era, although Guardiola has the title of Mengyi meritorious service on his head, he is not too brilliant for the achievements and influence of contemporary midfielders.

The players stared at Aldridge suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.

I don't know if Cruyff's idea of ​​building a four is similar to the quarterback on the football field, but at least Guardiola's role has not been able to fully replicate the role of the football quarterback. He is the main player in the defense. The player is also the main player of the offensive backcourt support organization. Both tasks are on his shoulders. I think it is already remarkable that he can achieve what he is today. However, with the acceleration of the football game and the increasingly fierce confrontation , No player can be top-notch on both offensive and defensive ends. Simply put, players will become more and more comprehensive, but there must be a primary and secondary energy in the game. The main energy is on defense, so it will definitely be sacrificed. Attacking, and vice versa, and football is a team sport, I think the two tasks of defending and organizing the attack can be separated and have two players in the midfield to maximize their strengths.

Aldridge has always believed that it is precisely because Guardiola's player era was not particularly successful, at least he is definitely not considered a world-class player, which allowed him to perfect and integrate Cruyff's tactical thinking after becoming a coach. Sublimation, he solved the contradictions that appeared in himself, so, in his dream of the Three Dynasties, Butzkes was more defensive, Harvey controlled the organization, and Iniesta focused on offensive support, creating a Barcelona with terrifying offensive and defensive balance and control.

And this tactic, to a large extent, is also used by many strong teams. The separation of defense and organizational tasks, learn from each other, maximize the advantages, and let better teammates make up for their shortcomings. The highest level of team football is In this way, it doesn't necessarily have to be smooth and smooth, but in the process of making up for each other between teammates, the energy of 1+1 is greater than 2 is exerted.

Pirlo's eyes lit up, and he asked: Boss, why is the organization task in the midfield?

Aldridge smiled and said: Didn't you say it before? Players are getting faster and faster, and the offensive point must be hidden deeper. In the contest between top teams, the closer to the opponent's penalty area, the less room for organization. The striker is at the front and will only be stared at by the opponent. The attacking player's back penetration will become the mainstream of the offense, which will make the organization area move backward. , and the transition of the midfield and the choice of forward attack points will become the key points to determine the victory.

It was only at this moment that Pirlo had an epiphany. He began to understand how the requirements of Aldridge and Nagy in his training would work in actual combat.

But whether it will be successful, he does not know, but it is worth trying.
