The top three in Ligue 1, Lyon is the last team other European powerhouses want to encounter.

I can't say where he is strong, but he is very difficult to deal with, and has always been difficult to deal with. In the European war, if there is a choice, almost all the giants would rather meet the gold-dollar Paris Saint-Germain or the fierce Monaco than play two games with Lyon.

After two years of absence from the Champions League, Lyon, who is not strong when he is weak, but definitely not weak when he is strong, is back.

In the group stage of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League, the defending champion Manchester City and Lyon, Dunkow, and Huo Cun are in Group F. Lyon will be Manchester City's opponent in the first match, even if it was a few days ago that the Premier League's 11:0 victory was the bottom , Guardiola did not dare to be careless.

But before going to the away game to teach Lyon, Guardiola did a small thing first.

9:1 ​​Hull Town, 6:1 Newcastle, 11:0 Fulham, let the English media launch a self-confident reflection of "the Premier League has no underdogs". Is it time to tear off the emperor's new clothes?

Bundesliga Bayern is thriving, Serie A has grown from the seven sisters to the top three in the north, and now Juventus is a big family. La Liga has been the homeland of Real Madrid and Barcelona since ancient times. Still vivid.

"The Premier League has no underdogs" has always been England's confidence to despise the other major leagues. The rise of the giants is not a day, but the **** spirit of the middle and lower teams not abandoning or giving up when facing the giants, and fighting to the last second of the last game is the most. Admirable place.

But Manchester City's performance in the new season has forced the industry and the media to face up to this change. Through data analysis, in recent years, when the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League played against giants, the scoring rate has dropped significantly. The emergence of BIG6 and the solidification of BIG6 are evidence.

Before BIG6, there were indeed dominant teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal in the Premier League, including Manchester City, which rose after Mansour took over. The four of them divided up more than 20 championships except for 2015. .

But in the past, the ownership of the strong teams competing for the championship mainly depended on their respective winning percentages against the middle and lower teams. Whoever can win the game that must take three points will take the lead in the competition.

And this is the real essence of "the Premier League has no underdogs". It is a miracle that Leicester City won the championship, but the Bundesliga also had Kaiserslautern and Madyburg, and the Serie A was as far away as Verona and as close as Naples. La Liga Super Deportivo and Super Bat won the championship is not far away.

The myth of the dark horse is not unique to the Premier League, and the weak teams are playing chicken blood every year is the unique symbol of the Premier League.

But in recent years, the data has changed significantly. BIG6's championship and ranking basically depend on the results of direct strong dialogue between them. The upset of the weak defeating the strong in the league is still being staged, but it will not affect the final ranking of the top six teams in the standings.

Don’t think that this change is a trivial matter. The fundamental reason why the Premier League has attracted the most investment from consortiums and has more TV broadcast fees than other major leagues is that the games here are more intense, and there are no garbage games. The confrontation is fast-paced.

The reason is that the middle and lower reaches of the team are full of fighting spirit and have the courage to fight to the death. But now, these good qualities are disappearing, the weak teams are gradually accepting their fate, and they are losing the courage to resist more and more quickly in the face of the giants.

If this continues, the Premier League will "degenerate" into several other major leagues and lose its unique prosperity.

The media and the industry hope to explore the reasons for this phenomenon from various angles. Zhuoyang is certainly strong, but the successive victories of Manchester City led by him are only the most prominent performance. In fact, the winning percentage of BIG6 against the middle and lower teams is increasing, and Manchester City is the most scary.

Many experts and gold medal reporters have discussed this issue in the media. Among them, an article signed by Joe Gallo Site (Joe Gallo Site) on the football page of the "Times" stood out.

From a purely technical and tactical point of view, the article is expounded in an extremely professional writing style, and the viewpoints put forward are very convincing.

The article believes that since Professor Arsene Wenger coached Arsenal to bring European technology to the Premier League 22 years ago, the stereotype of English football's long pass has begun to change.

Over the past 20 years, the technical level of the Premier League has improved significantly, and the tactics have become more colorful, and the style of fierce fighting and opening and closing has not been lost, making the Premier League full of fast-paced and fierce confrontation.

The Premier League teams advocate and are good at fighting, but the weakness of fighting is fully exposed under the pass control led by Guardiola.

Guardiola's success in Barcelona has led the trend of pass control in football, and many different schools have emerged, such as Klopp's bombardment, Pochettino's wingback revolution, and so on.

These trendy footballs have a common feature-high pressing.

Grabbing is not pressing, and pressing is more advanced than traditional scrambling.

The traditional scrambling of Premier League teams mainly takes place in the first and second areas of attack, that is, the midfielder, but the high press starts from the pressure on the goalkeeper and defenders. The defense of the Premier League team has never felt such pressure and pain now. .

In the previous Premier League, the defenders were at least safe when holding the ball. They could do most of the work by relying on iron spirit and courage, but it is no longer possible. Possibility to counter high press from off-ball side.

However, defenders who can play the ball, control the ball and advance safely with the ball are scarce all over the world, and almost all of them are recruited by wealthy clubs. Because of their financial resources and influence, the middle and lower reaches of the team cannot retain such defenders even if they have them.

In the past two or three years, regardless of the differences in tactical details, BIG6 has been superb in high-position pressing. When the offense and defense are switched, the effective pressing of the opponent's defense and even the midfielder makes it difficult for the opponent to play a bright rhythm on offense.

High-position pressing is not just a matter of physical fitness, nor is it a simple tactical problem. It is a very advanced football with physical fitness + high technical ability + tactical system.

These, the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League can't do it. They have neither suitable players to support tactics nor suitable tactics to improve players.

Therefore, the power of simple blood and bravery is greatly reduced. If you can't fight hard when defending, and can't get the ball when attacking, the team will soon be drained of confidence and courage.

After a little while, under a deep sense of powerlessness, they will involuntarily give up facing the BIG6 team, which is better known as preserving strength.

The harder you struggle, the worse you lose. It's better to lie flat and enjoy it.

The point of view of the article is very sophisticated and convincing. It not only has data, but also has partial tactical illustrations, as well as explanations of key points of game examples.

It's all dry stuff, without any moisture, and it can embarrass all long-form writers, including Platinum Master.

The article highly praises Guardiola, and believes that his Total Football Revolution has now realized the solidification of the Premier League class, and will surely promote the second wave of technology in the Premier League in the future. Its significance is no less than that of the Industrial Revolution.

Other big-name coaches may feel sour about Guardiola's licking of the article, but they all hold a positive attitude towards the "high position press theory" and agree that this is the case.

"The Profound Changes of Passing and Controlling Football to the Tradition of the Premier League" has aroused resonance and sensation in the football world, but no one knows who the author Joe Gallo Sit is.

Judging from the professionalism of the article, it is either a senior coach—but ordinary coaches do not have such a good pen, or a gold medal reporter who has been immersed in football for decades, but that circle has never heard of this name.

.

Zhuoyang also watched it, and watched it with assistant coach Arteta. Brother Tazi smiled while watching, looking very happy.

"Brother Tazi, you ate magpie eggs and laughed so much... Oh, I see, you wrote this."

"No, no, I'm not that capable." Brother Tazi shook his head quickly.

"Then you laugh with a hammer, it's weird."

"Hey hey, I know who wrote it."

"Oh? Do I know you?"

"I know you too well." Brother Tazi approached Zhuoyang's ear: "It's Pep."

Zhuoyang: "..."

"Fuck, is it true or not? He's too shameless to lick himself." Zhuoyang said, "Although Pep is really shameless at ordinary times, it's not to the point of being so sick."

"He really wrote it, why should I lie to you?"

"Did you ask him?"

"Old Zhuo, look. Joe Gallo Sitter, very British name, isn't it? But the three initials of the name are 'JGS', and the three initials of Pep's name happen to be 'JGS' , Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Guardiola's full name: Josep Guardiola Issa (), 'Pep' is the nickname of the Spanish name Josep (Josep).

However, it is a bit far-fetched for Brother Tazi to infer that 'Joe Gallo Sit' is Lao Gua's pen name.

"That's it? I don't study much, so don't coax me."

"One hundred percent."

Zhuoyang: "So,...he's really shameless~lightnovelpub.net~ not bad."

.

The calm-faced Lao Gua held the newspaper and read it carefully, only revealing a little bit of his thoughts by glancing at Zhuoyang from time to time.

Zhuoyang didn't ask. Concentrate on trimming your nails with a small file.

In the end, Lao Gua couldn't hold back anymore, he handed over the newspaper casually, and said casually: "Zhuoyang, read this article, it's quite professional."

Zhuoyang didn't answer, and continued to grind his nails.

"Look, take a look. It is rare to have such a professional football article in the British media. I admire this author. He is very knowledgeable and level."

It's so shameless.

"Let it go, I've seen it."

"Tell me." The old melon's eyebrows were trembling.

Zhuoyang thumped the nail dust on the file. "If this article is given to me as a graduation thesis, maybe I will put him on the second doctoral hat, Doctor of Football"

"Really? So powerful?" The old melon's eyes were full of stars.

"Of course." Zhuoyang said, "But Brother Gua, the article is a good article, but don't you feel embarrassed when you brag about yourself so much?"

That on Guardiola's face was wonderful. "No... I didn't write it, how could I write it? No..."

"Come on, it's not shameful to be shameless, it's shameful to be a dead duck with a hard mouth. Brother Tazi has already analyzed it from this pseudonym, and you wrote it. And Joe Gallo Sit, is it a mouthful or not? You can count it as one The pseudonym of 'Lying Cao Daxian' is also better than this."

"Oh my god, it's this shit." After being completely exposed, Guardiola laughed instead. "He's an asshole, he saw me when I was writing in the office, and helped me correct two typos. He gave me the pen name, and I promised not to tell others..."

"... Both of you, you are shameless."
