Chapter 746: Stepping stone

Yang Cheng once said a word to the more than 100 professional head coaches from all over the world in the UEFA coaching training class, which was cited as a classic by the Kickers magazine, thinking that all head coaches must Master the new football trends.
"The idea of ​​fixing players in one position is completely outdated!"
From this sentence, many and many meanings can be drawn. If you continue to delve into it, you will find the truth behind it and the current trend of football, that is, the pursuit of multi-position attributes of players, or even all-round.
He said from the beginning that when tactics continue to develop to the point where the details of every position on the court have been pulled to the extreme, it will inevitably trigger a new tactical thinking, which is to blur the position of the player.
So, in this case, how to play the characteristics of players?
Take out the advantages and disadvantages of the players, and arrange their tactics to avoid weaknesses.
For example Harvey? Alonso, he is not capable of getting rid of, but the mid-range pass is excellent, so Yang Cheng arranged him in front of the defense line, avoiding the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and at the same time moved the defense line forward, giving play to his advantage in the mid-range pass, so He played very well.
There is also Messi. Anyone who has carefully studied Barcelona ’s tactics will find that Guardiola has a very important reason for Messi ’s transformation, that is, how to help Messi get the ball at the front line of the battlefield position. Messi is in 5 The acceleration at a distance of -10 meters is almost invincible, so as long as he can take the ball in front of the opponent's defense line, then he can quickly catch the ball and quickly display his speed advantage, reaching the most effective shooting area.
Ronaldinho and Aguero are the same.
Before the Marca newspaper conducted a survey, it was found that with Real Madrid's record getting better and better, Yang Cheng persisted in Real Madrid for 3 years and 4231 gradually caused a trend in Europe. There are more and more head coaches from Real Madrid learns from the tactics and benefits.
Marca Daily reporter once visited the tactical master Lippi. Silver Fox feels that all this is Yang Cheng redefining the impact of 4231. "He gave everyone a new understanding of 4231."
"In Real Madrid's team, the four front players have different characteristics. They take on four distinct attack roles, whether Ronaldinho, Villa, Kaka and David? Silva, they are in Mutual transposition during the offense makes it possible for each of the two characters to piece together different combinations according to the situation on the field, which brings great difficulty to the defense. "
Just like this moment of Real Madrid and Barcelona's this century derby, to defend Aguero and Ronaldinho Ronaldinho, they are two different defensive methods, which can't be balanced at all, so Puyol leaned on the leather Aguero, who was unmarked after the attack, grabbed the ball and he could only choose to pounce, but missed Ronaldinho who was diagonally inserted into the penalty area.
No one was defending, no one was interfering, Ronaldinho stopped the ball, volleyed, very calm, there was no reason why he could not score!
…………
…………
After seeing the situation again dragged by Barcelona to the stalemate stage, many fans in the stands of the Bernabeu stadium were a bit worried. After all, the big advantage before was not taken. Now the advantage is gone, can Real Madrid still score? ?
The most fascinating thing about football games is that you do n’t even know when the goal will come!
And the most attractive part of the football game is that when every goal comes, you will be surprised, excited, excited!
Therefore, when Ronaldinho's strong volley volleyed the ball with a nearly straight line from the gap between the left post and Valdes and penetrated into Barcelona's goal, the entire Bernabeu Stadium stands at 80,000 The fans were stunned for 2 seconds.
Real Madrid fans came to this goal too suddenly and were too surprised; Barcelona fans were suddenly hit by this goal, and they were a bit ignorant, just like the Barcelona players on the court.
From McKon stealing the ball to Della Red's pass, to Mata and Raul's cooperation, and Aguero's ball-free pull response, all the processes happened in the blink of an eye, fully reflecting Real Madrid's offensive Quickly and suddenly, there is disorder.
The more random the offense, the greater the pressure on the defender!
"Cristiano ... Ronaldo !!!!!!"
Real Madrid fans rushed out of the seats one by one, excitedly rushed to the court and out of the penalty area, the Portuguese rushed all the way to cheer, and cheered for Raul who gave a wonderful assist to Ronaldinho!
As Yang Cheng said, Raul's movement is very clever. The distance between his catch and Puyol is just right. As soon as he catches the ball, Raul is unmanned and his first reaction is to stop. Raul kicked off the front edge of the penalty area, so he rushed out with the fastest speed, but this also means that he threw fiercely and lost his position at once.
This is Raul's cleverness!
Sometimes you don't need to use brute force to play football, you can often get better results with your brain.
All Real Madrid players rushed to the bottom of the stands and gathered together to celebrate Ronaldinho ’s opening record. Although the Portuguese joined Real Madrid with a very high price, he has used his own excellent performances and wonderful progress. The ball proved itself to be good value for money.
Yang Cheng was also vigorously applauding on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with the team's counterattack. He played very beautifully. Passing the ball and responding without the ball, they all effectively pulled Barcelona's defense line, causing difficulty in defense.
"Continue to stick to this style of play!"
"Don't shrink back, continue to maintain the offensive pressure on Barcelona, ​​give me back their counterattack!"
Yang Cheng commanded the game aloud from the sidelines. He did not worry about the surrounding Barcelona players, nor was he worried that he would be heard by Guardiola, because he was not worried about being heard at all.
Because he really wants to see Barcelona and Real Madrid playing a matchup!
…………
…………
Guardiola frowned, watching the game.
Lost 1 goal, he was actually not mentally prepared, he had already prepared for the worst before the game, and even he was ready to lose the ball at the opening, so he also arranged for this situation.
After the kick-off, the Barcelona players also passed the ball to Guardiola's pre-match arrangement, passed the ball to his own backcourt, slowly controlled the ball, first stabilized the rhythm.
However, Real Madrid took the initiative to press out and launched anti-robbing and harassment in the midfield and frontcourt. The back line was also pressed out and directly pressed Barcelona to play at halftime, hoping to break the ball as soon as possible.
Pique couldn't stand Aguero's harassment and kicked the ball directly. Ibrahimovic leaned on Pepe with his body and stopped the ball.
Indeed, the height of the Swede is a very threatening suppression of Real Madrid's back line, and when he stops the ball, Messi is about to rush, Ibrahimovic will pass the ball, can Tiago? Silva thrust forward suddenly.
The Brazilian is really fast. He just grabbed Messi before he gave the ball to Granero who was chased behind Messi.
Granero passed to Aveloa, who made a long pass and passed the ball to Raul who ran out of the left side. Raul transferred the ball to Ronaldinho's feet, but the Portuguese When driving the ball, Puyol was restricted to death. He had to shoot a long shot before entering the threatening range, and he was saved by Valdes.
However, only one minute later, Maicon passed the ball to Mata, who drove the ball from the rib and attracted Abidal. After passing the ball to Pik, Pik wanted to steal the ball, But Aguero kicked the ball a step earlier than him, then accelerated to catch up, and a shot of about 10 meters in the penalty area was once again saved by Valdes.
Then Real Madrid's corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Puyol, afterwards Della Red's long shot was high.
Beside the stadium, Guardiola also noticed that Real Madrid's offensive has gradually improved. Their defense has been pressed in place. Barcelona is very passive and is suppressed everywhere, unable to effectively pass the ball.
Ibrahimovic is a good fulcrum, but Real Madrid does a good job whether it is to defend around the front or prevent Ibrahimovic from turning around. Instead, Ibrahimovic cooperates with Messi and Henry. It only works when Ibrahimovic stands in position Once he withdraws the ball or pulls the ball, it is easy to overlap with Henry and Messi.
Although it is less than a season to join Barcelona, ​​but Ibrahimovic [Messi Terminator] nickname is not randomly taken.
Guardiola is also very clear that in the face of Real Madrid's century derby, Barcelona has fallen behind from the beginning on the psychological level, the player's mood cannot be calm, especially after the goal is lost, Busquets, Messi Waiting for the players to look nervous and anxious, and even a little irritable, this made Barcelona's turnovers a lot.
In addition, Real Madrid's restraint has a huge impact on Barcelona. The movement of Raul and Mata is always blocked in the area between Barcelona's rear line and the midfield, which makes the distance between the midfield and the back line too large, and it is somewhat disconnected. Too.
Is now a dilemma for Guardiola.
To keep the three lines compact and orderly, there is nothing more than two options. The back line is pushed forward, and the frontcourt players retreat.
If it is the former, with the current Real Madrid offensive so fierce and the speed and counterattack of Real Madrid players so sharp, the risk is too great, but if it is the latter, retracting the frontcourt players, it means that Barcelona want to play similar Deadly tactics like Chelsea will become extremely passive on the scene, which is what Guardiola does not want to see.
Both options can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, and the risks are great.
Fans who often watch the game will notice that many people with clear eyes know that the team is passive, but the head coach still does not make appropriate adjustments, because the head coaches who are on the scene are very clear in mind, all the choices Both are dilemma questions.
After all, strength and tactics are restrained, it is difficult to turn over!
Of course, Real Madrid's tactics cannot be invincible, nor perfect, but there are not many teams that can restrain Real Madrid today. Chelsea is the best, but Mourinho's deadly tactics are not Barcelona. Willing to accept.
The gap in overall strength almost made Guardiola think of no way but to continue to watch the game.
…………
…………
After Real Madrid scored the goal, the game situation seemed to be back to the opening stage again. Real Madrid once again pressed Barcelona for a beating and a round of beating.
But now Real Madrid, who has one ball in hand, is more patient and smarter.
43 minutes, Tiago? Silva made a long pass and sent the ball to the right side of Barcelona, ​​which is the left side of Real Madrid. After the small Rhodes ball, he took a long drive and moved forward. Alves, who was too close in front, wanted to chase back the capital. Can't catch up.
When Ronaldinho brought the ball to Barcelona's penalty area, Puyol returned to the defense, he was stuck on the road where Ronaldinho cut into the penalty area, but the Portuguese suddenly stopped suddenly, then suddenly accelerated, and simply swayed the Pu Half of Joel's position kicked the ball and crossed.
The ball passed Puyol's foot, not high, and quickly fell, just in front of the left column, and Aguero, who was inserted with Ronaldinho all the way before, was driven into the long drive and pushed the ball in. The bottom right corner of the goal.
While the referee had already sounded the effective whistle for the goal, Pique, who had returned to the defense, ran after Aguero.
The whole Bernabeu is boiling completely!
All Real Madrid fans are shouting Aguero's name excitedly!
This Argentine striker who has just reached a contract renewal with the club, rejected Barcelona's corner pick and used a goal to completely send Barcelona to a dead end!
"2: 0, Real Madrid will go to the next city in the 43rd minute, Barcelona's situation is already very dangerous !!"
The on-site commentators didn't even think about the situation of the game. At least they originally thought that Real Madrid in the two-line battle should be very tired. Even if they are on the bench, they should have a gap with Barcelona in terms of strength. .
But from the point of view of the game, Real Madrid's tactics completely suppressed Barcelona's play, especially Yang Cheng's fine-tuning, it also brought Barcelona a devastating disaster, occupying an absolute advantage in Bernabeu!
This is the gap!
Is not only the gap in the team's overall strength, but also the gap in the team's tactics!
Facing such a gap, Guardiola has no way!
"The first half of the game is coming to an end. Barcelona must take advantage of the 15-minute break to find a way to restrain Real Madrid as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to play in the second half and it is likely to continue Suppressed by Real Madrid. "
As the on-site commentator said, the referee also officially sounded the whistle at the end of the first half.
Real Madrid took a score of 2: 0 and entered the intermission.
…………
…………
"You will be an important part of the team's offense and play a central role!"
In the Bernabeu visiting team's locker room, Ibrahimovic bowed his head, sweat dripping down the floor along his long hair, drowned in the clamoring locker room, many Barcelona players complained to each other during the first half of the game. Things that happened.
Henry complained that Messi didn't pass him because he ran out of a good position; Messi complained that his teammates didn't send him enough cannonballs; the defensive player complained of two lost balls. Shirk responsibility.
The whole dressing room was in a mess, only a few players including Ibrahimovic did not participate.
The Swede bowed his head and gasped, but there was a word in his mind when Guardiola first met him when he first joined the team. In his opinion, this represents the head coach to him. Expectations and commitments.
Once, he had very high expectations for his trip to Barcelona, ​​because he knew that on a big platform like Barcelona, ​​it was more likely to get the highest honor like the Golden Globe, and he did n’t even dream of dreaming at that time, waiting He will be such a nightmare.
Is his performance poor? Not too bad!
Guardiola has repeatedly told Ibrahimovic privately that Barcelona can play the current tactics. He has indelible credit and sacrifice. However, when the media criticized Ibrahimovic and even tried, Guardiola did not maintain Ibrahimovic chose to protect Messi instead.
Why are so many people calling Ibrahimovic [Messi Terminator]?
It was because Guardiola consciously turned Messi into a pseudo center. In the tactics, he demanded that Ibrahimovic must cooperate with Messi to run. He asked Ibrahimovic to increase the frontcourt and add more runs.
But the question is, can Ibrahimovic do it?
"At the 26th minute, I clearly made a gesture to you, why are you still running into the restricted area?"
Messi didn't know when, but came to Ibrahimovic and asked coldly.
"Don't you know that you and I ran overlapping, did you miss an offensive opportunity in vain?"
Don't look at the Argentine's small size, but when questioned, it sounds loud and imposing.
It's no wonder that he is the number one star in the Barcelona team and is his own child. After Ronaldinho and Eto'o left, after Xavi and Iniesta were used to serving Messi, he was this The number one star for the team is right, with a series of privileges.
Guardiola has said many times that all of Barcelona's offensives are carried out around Messi!
"Then when my position is better than yours, you chose to shoot instead of passing?" Ibrahimovic raised his head and asked, he was not a good player either.
As early as in the game, Ibrahimovic had thrown his hand at Messi and complained because he was in a better position, but the Argentine chose to fire himself, which turned into an anti-aircraft gun, which made Ibrahimovic very annoyed.
In his opinion, serving Messi, should Messi also be rewarded?
Frankly speaking, for Ibrahimovic, who has always been self-centered, he is willing to put down his body, play for Messi, and pull the defense for Messi. This is already a rare thing. However, Messi did not appreciate it at all, but instead took it for granted.
If it is Henry, he will choose to accept, the situation is better than others, Messi ’s strength and potential are Barcelona ’s undisputed brother, plus the support of the Barcelona management and coaching staff, he really has a Series privileges.
But Ibrahimovic was originally a thorn. Ibrahimovic, who has always been arrogant and has a big mouth nickname, is not as good as his style. Especially now that Barcelona is behind, he is busy and inactive.
"I chose to shoot because I think I am sure to score!" Messi glared at Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic suddenly stood up. The burly figure completely covered Messi, especially his indignant appearance, which made everyone in the entire dressing room look over. "You The so-called grasp, but shot the ball into the stands, and your grasp is to waste the opportunities we have created for you again and again! "
"I came to Barcelona to play football, not to be a stepping stone for some privileged people!" Ibrahimovic pointed at Messi and shouted.
Puyol, Pique and others rushed up for the first time, fearing that Ibrahimovic had accidentally beaten Messi and immediately blocked them.
And Guardiola, who had just opened the locker door, looked staring at the two hands who were almost hands-on, and the smell of gunpowder was so serious that it seemed to be the end of the world, but he couldn't say a word!
