Vol 4 Chapter 979: man-to-ball problem

The Emiratis had no Christmas, and Al Ain waited for Manchester City in a 4-3-2-1 'Christmas tree' formation in the Club World Cup final before Christmas Eve.
Al Ain is an Asian powerhouse, and his team building ideas are also standard Asian thinking. The midfield and backcourt are basically the team of the UAE national team, and the midfield and frontcourt rely on foreign aid to conquer the world.
The 36-year-old central defender Ismail is the double captain of Al Ain and the UAE national team. This buddy has first-class air combat skills in Asia. In addition to his height of 192, he has changed the UAE’s defense from repeated air raids by East Asian teams since his debut. .
In the first 10 minutes of the game, Manchester City's two corner kick tactics were resolved by Ismail, and they were handled cleanly and clearly.
Fayez, who is partnered with Ismail, is less than 180 years old and less than 30 years old. He has very delicate defensive skills under his feet, and his ability to play the ball from the back line is not bad.
In the 12th minute, Manchester City's attack ended without a hitch. Fayez instigated a counterattack from a long pass from the backcourt. Egyptian Hussein Shahat, one of the double front midfielders, took the ball and charged like a wild camel. Erte, after changing direction, swiped the ball in the corner of the small penalty area and avoided Edson's attack.
It was almost an empty goal. Shahat's shot slammed into the leg of Kompany, who was eye-catching as a shield, and rubbed the post to get out of the bottom line.
Two minutes later, Fei Bird scored the ball in the midfield, and Sterling took the ball on the right side, making people wonder what he was going to do. Usually this product doesn't like 45° hanging, but this time I don't know what to think, and it hangs after a while.
Ismail was on guard, Zhuo Yang was pushed from behind by him in the big penalty area and couldn't move any further. He just waited for the ball to come over and the two of them would see who jumped higher.
Zhuo Yang must be at a disadvantage, and his height is lower. The confrontation between the two sides is also from the back to the front for him, and the function of force is not conducive to his take off.
When the ball came, Zhuo Yang didn't jump, but Ismail found that he couldn't jump either.
Zhuo Yang took root under his feet, and his waist and abdomen leaned back like a heavy weight. Ismail did not want to be pushed away, so he could only fight desperately. .
Can you dance this pose for me to see?
When the football fell, Zhuo Yang raised his chin and slightly moved his forehead forward, knocking back to Fei Bird who followed up after passing the ball.
Ismail's physical talent is very good, but his brain is a bit stubborn. Zhuo Yang pushes back, and he hugs him hard. Wouldn't it be nice to dodge him before playing around?
The old rival in the World Qualifiers and the Asian Cup, Ismail revisited the losses he and Zhuo Yang had to bear, and did not have a long memory of life and death.
Fei takes the ball comfortably and has enough time to adjust and kick in comfortably. UAE national goalkeeper Khalid Isa has no whip, and it is beyond reach, Manchester City 1:0.
After celebrating with Fei Bird for a while, Zhuo Yang asked Sterling, "What do you think?"
Before making a cross, Daqing procrastinated a little for no reason. Although he is a wise man who loves deep thinking, on the court, except when he is faced with opportunities in front of the goal, he does not think about life in other places.
The wise eyes flashed with wisdom: "Brother Zhuo, can you tell me what kindness is?"
A foolish young man with a strong desire for knowledge is always not annoying. Zhuo Yang said earnestly: "Be kind, when passing the ball, give it to Lao Tzu."
"Dad, I was wrong..."
After calling Dad, Zhuo Yang knew that the product was back to normal.
.
Do defenders mark the man or the ball when defending? About 20 years ago, this issue was debated endlessly in the domestic coaching community, each with its own reasons. The local coaches often criticized their defenders in their post-match press conferences for focusing only on the ball and not knowing how to watch people, or vice versa.
Later, it stopped being noisy, because there is no one-size-fits-all model in water without regular football. Marking the man or the ball requires a specific analysis of specific issues and the specific defensive situation at that time. A good defender has to choose and dare to choose, sometimes he needs to combine the ball and man, marking both the man and the ball.
The debate about domestic coaches 20 years ago was just because the level was backward.
But no matter 20 years ago or now, or 20 years from now, a good defender with good color and art is always scarce. The mistake that Ismail made just now was basically marking people instead of the ball. He only focused on competing with Zhuo Yang, but he forgot that Zhuo Yang, who didn't have football, was just a bad piano player.
In the 32nd minute, Manchester City's offense made a comeback. Walker and Da Smart cooperated on the right flank. Walker cut to the middle and passed it to Sterling on the side.
This time, he didn't think about life, and he didn't forget to pass the ground, and he swept the pass very decisively.
The 30-year-old Mali international Tongo Dombia is not the Ivorian center Sedou Doumbia, who was once known as the 'New Drogba'. Today, this Doumbia is a midfielder who has played for Rennes and Toulouse in Ligue 1, and In the Premier League Wolves, in the Christmas tree of Al Ain, he played as a left midfielder.
Toumbia was deceived by Sterling's fake before passing the ball, but he still turned around and tried to block the tackle. The football just left Sterling's feet when it hit his calf and collapsed.
After working for a long time, it is still equivalent to passing a punch.
Ismail and Zhuo Yang were on the bar again, and they were the only protagonists in the hustle and bustle of the restricted area.
Marking the ball or man? The 36-year-old senior central defender, whose theoretical level is of course better than the local Chinese coach 20 years ago, suffered from the loss of man-marking and not marking the ball just now, so Zhuo Yang suddenly withdrew from the battle circle. Move, still firmly stand on their own territory, because the ball is coming in this direction.
Zhuo Yang ran away, I don't know if he hated Sterling's 'unkindness', or he was tired of the unskilled hand-to-hand combat with Ismail. Anyway, he ran out of the restricted area, like a kid who ignited firecrackers in cow dung during Chinese New Year , stand far away to watch the fun.
The football fell, and Ismail, who was like an iron tower, rose into the sky. With a shake of his head, he rammed it firmly, and accurately pushed the football to Zhuo Yang outside the penalty area.
Did he fall into evil? no.
Ismail knew that Zhuo Yang had run away, but he didn't have time to observe where Zhuo Yang had gone, and shaking his head outward was just his subconscious action. When he threw it out, he knew that the dish was broken, but the cannon sounded and the cow dung smashed his face.
Is Zhuo Yang a luck? no.
This is his pre-judgment, he is not soft when it is time to be hard, but don't be foolish when it is time to use his brain.
Zhuo Yang stepped back and volleyed his instep in front of the football. The football was like an F1 on a straight road. It crossed the penalty area and plunged into the upper corner of the goal.
2:0.
This time, Ismail is the textbook case of looking at the ball and not looking at people. If he was put into the A League 20 years ago, Jia and Qi would fight because of him.
"Dad, I didn't pass it well."
"It's okay, it's okay to score the ball."
"Look, for me, your kindness is kindness, but for that shriveled calf..." Da Chui Nunuzui in the direction of Ismail: "You are a bad person with pus. So what is kindness? "
Zhuo Yang frowned, and then called Jing Duoan: "Tell him what kindness is."
Teacher Jing: "I know that. Some people fall into the pit, others pick up big rocks and smash them. If you smash small rocks, you are kind. Do you understand? Stupid."
