Chapter 553: Create new tactics

On the first day of the national team's training, Aldridge communicated with each player individually. At the same time, the coaching staff also observed the players up close through training to further understand the characteristics of the players.
This information data will help Aldridge to formulate a more detailed tactical framework. 4321 is just a number. How to play on the field is another matter.
Just like Aldridge placed Beckham on the right midfield, could Beckham not be active on the right when he was attacking?
The formation is dead, the initial position is more important is a defensive responsibility and regional settings, printed in the player’s mind, play a role in the game, return to position when defending, contact with other positions, can be aware of other regions when attacking The situation, in the blink of an eye, immediately made the decision to deal with the ball.
After the first day of training with a lot of content, the next day, line-up and tactical exercises began.
The convenience of coaching the national team is that the player's ability value is above a level, there are basically no major defects, and there is no language communication problem for the players.
At first, players were allowed to practice their own tactics. Aldridge was watching and watching, and the effect was poor, because the players did not seem to understand the essence of tactics.
Aldrich brought the players together, and with their professional qualities, with a little bit of dialing, they could understand that the rest is the effect of actual combat.
"You may think that 442 is more balanced and more offensive than 4321, and it looks like this. When 442 is attacking, at least 5 players can invest in the offense, and 4321 seems to have only 3 players in the frontcourt. Come, let's see Tactical board."
Aldridge drew a 442 parallel midfield position map on the tactical board.
"442, when attacking, the side and the center are combined, and more points are forward. It seems that the number of attackers is large, and the direction of attack is also choice. But what is the problem? In this formation, players are easy to be marked and the players in front are marked. After death, the players in the back rush forward, which can easily lead to overlapping positions and increase the pressure on the backcourt.
These, these internationals who play 442 every day should have a deep understanding, and there is nothing to discuss in detail. They are more interested in how to attack the 4321!
The players looked at Aldridge curiously.
"Come on, look at 4321."
Aldridge drew a 4321 standing formation, and then drew a five-point attack arrow.
Double front waist, single forward, left back, right back waist, five offensive.
Aldrich asked: "We can attack like this. We have five offensive players and make full use of the width of the field. At the same time, in the process of back-to-front, we pass triangles to achieve the effect of tearing the opponent's defense line by layer. "
The players looked at each other, looking at the plane, indeed, 4321, five players offense, and 442 five players offense, from the location and area, with changes and unpredictability, more use of the field width, and because the players from the guard, to The striker, as long as he can hit the speed, the continuous impact is more difficult to mark.
Aldrich wiped off the attack arrows from the left back and right back, and painted the attack arrows on the characters of the right back and left back.
"We can also attack like this, and also keep five offensive players."
When Aldridge redrawn the arrow of the offensive player, many England internationals sighed.
They already understood what Aldridge wanted to express.
Simply speaking, the 442 fixed attack routine, the midfielder finds the wing forward, the wing forward finds the forward, or the wing forward initiates, passes to the midfielder, the midfielder and the like, this routine has been rigid and must be thoroughly studied by everyone. On the basis of this formation, combined with the personal ability of the England international, it is difficult to derive more powerful offensive routines.
McManaman wondered: "In fact, we have 7 players with offensive abilities!"
Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, there are seven players, three in the frontcourt, two backs and two backs in the backcourt, plus two full backs, but the point is that in the offense, only two can be invested in the backcourt. Players move forward, and in order to achieve defensive balance, only one player can move forward on the left and the right. If the midfielder gets on, the full-back cannot move forward. At most, he can move forward according to the situation."
This tactical arrangement is based on defense.
If Beckham stepped forward to participate in the offensive, then Lampard on the other side and right-back Neville could not over-press. Similarly, Lampard went up to participate in the attack. Ashley Cole in order to ensure this side Without defending, he can't play.
442 is very balanced. The 4321 created by Aldrich is essentially balanced in the number of offense and defense conversions, but it can be flexibly changed in the distribution of offensive points, and there is no position conflict in the change, and there will not be a full back rushing up. Squeezing the edge-forward activity space, simply supporting, it is impossible to increase the situation of intuitive goal threats.
Aldrich patiently explained: "Part of this tactical focus is the change of attack and defense in the midfield and backcourt. Among the three midfielders, the middle is mainly defensive, and the other two have to bear the responsibility of changing from defense to attack. The ball mobilized the task, for example, Lampard took the ball on the left in the midfield and backcourt. Defensive players in front of him suppressed him, making him unable to bring the ball forward or even having a comfortable space to take the ball, then this time , All he has to do is to divide the ball, to whom? Ashley Cole on the left side will pull forward, and Beckham will also attack forward on the other side as a contact point, which can maintain stability and success With a sharp passing distance, after Lampard initiated the offensive, he could not continue to move forward, still staying behind, preventing the left side from being counterattacked and revealing a lot of empty space. The second part is the midfield and frontcourt response in the attack, The core is Scholes. After his teammates attack in the midfield and backcourt, Scholes will form a contact point in the middle and quickly move the ball to a more threatening area. When the attack advances to the front line, Scholes, McManaman, Irving, including players who come from the backcourt assists, must form a two-row or three-row attack threat."
The internationals started to discuss with each other. A changeable tactical system is the foundation of the team's game. The creativity of England's players is limited. How does this limitation reflect on the field?
Regardless of the opponent, even the audience can basically guess how they pass the ball while watching the game. Who passes to whom, and there is nothing unexpected about the running position. What about the opponent? It is easy to limit their offense.
Aldrich cannot change the player's own ability, so he can only work tactical design and provide changes with strategy.
Scholes raised his hand and asked: "Coach, what you just said, it seems that the best effect is only when you fight back?"
Aldridge smiled, ginger's head was stuffy, but the football thinking changed quickly.
"Yes, this counterattack is the most powerful when counterattacking. As I said yesterday, positional warfare is not our specialty when there is not enough space. Therefore, frontal attack, positional warfare, We play simpler, and this simple method of attack is a strategy. The most important thing is that we removed a striker, we have more midfielders, and when the opponent's offense and defense conversion is excessive, we can create There is a lot of pressure on the opponent to quickly counter-attack in the midfield and then launch a counter-attack on the spot. This is also one of my requirements for you."
Scholes thought about it carefully, and then nodded in a definite manner. Aldridge looked interesting, not knowing how much the head understood.
After inculcating the tactical philosophy to the players, the next offensive and defensive drill training is the stage of experimentation and running-in.
The main team, the substitute team, the offensive rhythm slowed down, Aldridge warned on the sidelines, constantly reminded players to run, and also reminded them of defensive tactical skills in actual combat. In this regard, Southgate played a more important role than the field. The side coach is better. He sits in the back line and observes the situation to remind his teammates to fill in.
It was only when the exercises and the theory were practiced that these internationals really felt the freshness of Aldridge's new tactics.
In particular, it is flexible to change the offensive.
The deepest feeling is Beckham.
Lampard on the other side is accustomed to this changeable tactical routine. If the situation does not change, and Millwall cannot use conventional means to open the situation, he has become accustomed to the changes in offensive points. Therefore, he It works well with Ashley Cole on this side.
The two of them attacked and defended, and they had a good understanding.
Beckham is full of energy in the transition from defense to attack.
Launching an offense is not a deadlock, the key lies in the mobilization link.
Beckham was crushed, he took the ball to Neville who put on the side, and he could also find Lampard or a long pass to the front field to run out of free players.
His speed is not a strength, although he moved from the wing forward position to the back, but his long pass can play a big role, especially in counterattacks.
Basically, when the instigation of the offensive link is excessively stable, the offensive after the half-time is burst out immediately. Scholes' key mid-course scheduling, followed by the forward impact brought by the players, can often break through a line of defense. Let the offensive continue to move forward.
It's just that in the last link, the cooperation is still not in place. It takes time to familiarize them and establish a new tacit understanding.
The substitute team will feel more and more unbearable because they can't resist the points that are inserted after the opponent. In theory, there are four points that may be inserted. Which two are rushing up is unpredictable, especially in the instigation In the offensive link, the biggest player in front of the space has been selected to attack forward, flexible and threatening, and rushing up within a few seconds, it is really unpredictable.
Aldridge's tactical formation is also flawed. The biggest weakness is that when the opponent does not take the initiative to rush, defending mainly compresses the backcourt space, and plays a conservative defensive counterattack. Then, even if England's rear insertion can cause accidents, However, they can't tear the line of defense. In that case, they can only rely on attacking the three axes, dribbling through, positioning the ball, and shooting long.
Dribbling breakthroughs are negligible, with positioning and long shots, I have to say that England has a little advantage.
Beckham's direct free kick or assist teammates, Lampard, Scholes, and long-range Kung Fu all have the ability to break the ice.
The second day of training was better than the first day, because the players were full of energy, and in the new tactical system, they were like children who got new toys.
Towards the end of the training, Aldridge saw Gary Neville running to the edge of the woods outside the training ground.
Trees will be planted on the edge of the training ground, which is windproof to avoid affecting training.
Gary Neville is selfless, watering the trees at Leo’s training base.
Aldridge turned his eyes and called Scholes in front of him, saying seriously: "Paul, how accurate are you?"
The 1.74 meter head slightly looked up at Aldridge, a little more than ten centimeters taller than him, without a word.
"Try it."
Aldridge stretched his fingers to Neville, who was a long distance away from the training ground. The other party put his head up to release water, as if he was still whistling.
Scholes made two runs and cut a football on the training ground.
Very standard shot.
The ball traversed a parabolic trajectory lightly in the air.
Aldrich concentrated on watching the ball fall.
Boom!
The ball hit Neville's back!
Scholes turned to pretend to be talking to Aldridge.
Gary Neville, who turned around with his pants on the edge of the tree, shouted.
"Paul! I know it's you!"
