Chapter 553: The secrets of top teams

Many fans will be puzzled by a certain phenomenon, and feel very strange.
Why are there often big scores in the five major leagues in Europe, and even in some strong dialogues?
It's like Manchester United's 8-2 against Arsenal, Manchester City's 6-1 against Manchester United, Barcelona's 5-0 against Real Madrid, and even in the Champions League, Barcelona's slaughter of Leverkusen and Bayern Munich's victory over Barcelona. War case.
It stands to reason that the strength gap between a strong team and a strong team should not be so great.
How is this possible?
Who would think that the gap between Manchester United and Arsenal is eight to two?
Who would believe that Manchester United was even more miserable by Manchester City than a low-level team?
Also, like Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona’s Messi, why are these two superstars able to score such an amazing number of goals so easily?
Is it really just because the team revolves around them to start offense as simple as that?
The reason is that modern football tactics are increasingly inclined to all attack and defense, that is, integration.
The benefits of integration are obvious, but the disadvantages are impossible.
There are two sentences that can be summed up very well, the firewood is high in the crowd, and the people are very mixed.
The former talks about the benefits of integration, while the latter talks about the problem of integration.
The same is an offense, and if two people participate, the efficiency is definitely higher than that of three people.
If four or five people participate, the efficiency is even lower.
This is true for offense, so is defense.
This is one of the problems brought about by integration.
Another point is that it is difficult for the so-called ship to turn around.
If individual combat is a small boat, then the overall combat is a giant battleship.
In terms of stability and safety, the giant battleship must have an advantage, but if you want to temporarily adjust the direction and turn around in the event of an emergency, then it must be that the boat is more dexterous and cheaper.
In other words, integration will inevitably lead to tactical flexibility and lack of adaptability.
Therefore, the most important thing that modern football tactics must emphasize is efficiency and tactical flexibility.
All teams, if they want to become a top strong team, they must solve these two problems.
Back to the question just now, why did Arsenal lose to Manchester United two to eight?
Because Manchester United's tactics are more accurate and lethal and more targeted, and Arsenal's adjustment ability and resilience are too poor, and they are directly disabled.
In this case, Manchester United is like an agile hunter, and Arsenal is a clumsy elephant, full of targets everywhere, very fragile.
Similarly, when it comes to Manchester United and Manchester City, the situation is reversed.
It is Manchester City that is more targeted, more precise and deadly, and Manchester United has become fragile.
Yes, by this time, the answer is very clear.
In these high-scoring games, the victory or defeat was basically determined the moment the two sides entered the court.
The players' on-the-spot performance and the on-the-spot command of the head coach can at best only change the size of the score.
Even if your team is filled with a group of superstars who can kill the game on their own ability, it is difficult to change the outcome.
In this case, the preparation before the game is really the decisive factor!
In Yang Huan's understanding, the overall strength of the team is the basis of a strong team, but how much it can play and whether it can beat the opponent depends on tactics.
Now and in the future, tactics will increasingly rely on big data.
Relying on the analysis of massive big data, the system can help the coaching staff to optimize the configuration of the team's lineup, minimize the impact of injuries and rotations on the team, and maximize the strength of the game.
At the same time, relying on massive data to make pre-match predictions, perform sand table deductions for the opponent's possible lineup and tactics, and finally draw up a set of precise and deadly targeted tactics.
In other words, the purpose of big data analysis is to ensure that the team, no matter what kind of opponent it encounters, can achieve a stable and controllable display of its own strength during the long season, suppress the opponent's tactics, and then Steadily win and score points.
Because of this, so, similar to Tony Cross and Matic, players who can play steadily for a long time and provide the team with stable data are very important.
Of course, big data analysis systems are not omnipotent, but when people are involved, there are bound to be variables.
But with this set of analysis system, Southampton can face any opponent, face any complicated schedule, and be able to do it with ease.
It can be said that after nearly three years of research and development and preparation for the analysis system, it has finally achieved fruitful results and has also given the team a huge boost.
Therefore, at this time, Yang Huan's thinking must go further.
"Old Bei, I always have a question!"
The two were still walking side by side on the cobblestone path. After listening to Master Huan, Bielsa just nodded slightly without saying a word, but the meaning was already obvious.
"How do you think Southampton can be built into a top team like Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich?" Yang Huan asked very seriously.
He has talked to Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and Sun Yue. With the current ability of Southampton to operate, as long as they can reach the peak on the football field, they can operate Southampton to the top giants. Go further.
Bielsa also realized the importance of the issue of Master Huan.
Indeed, Southampton is no longer the League One team two years ago.
The Saints now rank second in the Premier League standings, and even hope to compete for the league championship, and sitting on a strong lineup configuration that is among the best in the Premier League. Naturally, the problem of thinking can no longer be limited to the domestic arena.
It should be... the Champions League!
With Yang Huan's ambitious character, he definitely wants to do something in the Champions League.
Then, we have to clarify how to build a top-notch team!
After a few minutes of silence, Bielsa spoke lightly.
"Many people think that the integration of football tactics started when Greece won the European Cup in 2004, but it is not."
"No?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
Bielsa shook his head, "That is the illusion of ordinary people. In the industry, many people's research and discussion on integrated football have already begun. Manchester United's 1999 triple crown seems to be very dangerous and luck. Very big, but the outstanding performance in the following years has caused many people to think deeply."
"Also, Real Madrid won the Champions League twice in 1998 and 2000, and the subsequent decline of the Galaxy Battleship period also made many professionals in the industry seriously think about holistic football. As for Real Madrid in 2002 Winning the Champions League again, in the eyes of many people, is more like a product of a special situation."
Yang Huan also let Bielsa's words lead his thoughts, nodding lightly.
Manchester United sent away Cantona and immediately ushered in the peak of 1999, but after sending away Stam and introducing superstar Veron, the Red Devils dynasty suddenly collapsed. Is this just a coincidence?
If Manchester United is a coincidence, then Guardiola sent away superstars Ronaldinho and Deco, but ushered in the best Grand Slam dynasty in history; Inter Milan sent away Ibrahimovic Later, Mourinho's Triple Crown was ushered in. Is this also a coincidence?
"Many people admire Manchester United's 92nd class, especially the Golden 4 midfielder."
The so-called golden four midfielders are Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham, which are considered by many in the football industry to be the most perfect midfield combination in football history.
"Theoretically speaking, the strongest time for Bayern Munich was undoubtedly in 1999 and 2000. That was the peak time of the Bayern team in Heathfeld, but they won it in 2001. In the UEFA Champions League, the 1999 final was lost to Manchester United, and the two thousand years was the semifinal lost to Bosque’s Real Madrid."
"Many people feel sorry and think that Bayern Munich lost to luck, but from a certain point of view, luck is only part of it. More importantly, Bayern Munich solved a problem in the previous two seasons. Problems that can be solved."
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bielsa.
"That's breaking dense defense!"
Suddenly, Yang Huan seemed to understand something, but couldn't grasp the key.
"It is precisely because of solving the problem of intensive defense that Bayern Munich went to the 2001 Champions League knockout, double-killing rivals Manchester United and Real Madrid, reaching the Champions League final and finally winning!"
"The reason why the 2004 European Cup created the miracle of Greece's championship is also because at that time all the strong European teams failed to find an effective way to break the dense defense brought about by integrated football!"
"Similarly, in the early two years of the century, the La Liga Bats Valencia, led by Argentine coach Cooper, reached the Champions League final in a row, relying on integrated and intensive defense. In the second and third seasons, Juventus Tus and Milan gathered in the UEFA Champions League final, but also relying on intensive defense. In the 2003-04 season, Porto and Monaco reached the finals.
"In those years, there was a very interesting situation in European football."
"Those quasi-first-class teams, even second-rate teams, rely on excellent integrated tactics and unbreakable dense defense to rise strongly and sweep the entire Europa. However, those traditional powerful teams are generally looking for one. An effective way to break through dense defenses."
"From Milan to the Barcelona Dream II team, to Manchester United's running and bombing trident, they are all looking for it. Although there are occasional successes, they have not been able to find a long-term effective way to break the intensive defense."
"Although I have been in South America during that time, European professional football has always been leading the tactical changes, so I have always been thinking about and paying attention to this issue, and even tried again and again, either successfully or failed. ."
"Before Guardiola coached Barcelona, ​​I told him that if you want to break the integrated and dense defense, you must grasp the two major drawbacks of integration, efficiency and tactical flexibility. If you want to take advantage of these two major loopholes, To be faster and more efficient than the defender!"
"If it is said that the high position press naturally solves the problem of full attack and defense and ensures that the team can regain the ball in the shortest time, then the problem before all the teams is how to achieve the most in the shortest time. An effective way to complete the offensive and defensive transition, play the time difference, catch the defender by surprise, and expose the drawbacks of integrated defense!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but feel that when his eyes were bright, all the problems were suddenly clear.
This is the secret of the top teams!
"Guardiola is a very smart and thinking person. Based on what I said, combined with the traditional characteristics of Barcelona, ​​he created a unique ball control system and solved the problem of dense defense. This provides an excellent example for many latecomers, including Bayern Munich’s Van Gaal~EbookFREE.me~."
"But Mourinho is equally smart. The Portuguese may not be good at innovation, but he is very good at playing pertinence, so his Inter Milan defeated one by relying on a more intensive integrated defense and a more efficient counterattack efficiency. An opponent won the Triple Crown!"
"But Mourinho's tactical play is unsustainable. Even if Inter Milan's overall strength remains at its peak, Mourinho will be given another year. By 2011, the Portuguese Inter Milan will not be possible. success."
"The bottom line is that all strong teams must have the ability to break intensive defense, and the stronger this ability, the better the team's strength and the stronger the competitiveness!"
"A team that does not have the ability to break dense defense, even if it succeeds occasionally, it is only a short-lived and unsustainable. Because today you assumed a weak team posture, so you can rely on defensive counterattacks to achieve success, but once you succeed, then It's someone else's turn to fight your defensive counterattack."
"In this case, without the ability to break the dense defense, can you still play? Can you continue to succeed?"
