Super Marshal
Chapter 171: This is an experiment!
When Gao Han threw his doubts in front of Aragones, the Spanish old man sighed and regretted.
Instead, Guardiola sighed softly and took the initiative to answer the question.
"The big game is approaching. There are more and more discussions on the game inside and outside the team, and the controversy is getting bigger and bigger. Although the qualifiers have won the game and the team has performed brilliantly, one thing that cannot be ignored is that the opponent is weak. And it’s too offensive and defensive."
"In fact, in many cases, although we have possession of the ball, even in the face of a strong team like Brazil, we have the ability to dominate the game, and our ball is also very gorgeous, but our offense lacks threat and efficiency. ."
Guardiola's remarks once again caused Gao Han to think deeply.
Controlling the ball often means slowing down the rhythm.
When encountering a weak team, the strength is not strong, the ball is controlled, and the game is dominated. The opponent is the meat on the chopping board. You can kill whatever you want. But if you encounter a strong team, especially if the overall team is stronger, or the defense is more Excellent team, it's not so easy.
"I clearly remember that in preparation for the European Cup, we played a warm-up match with Italy."
Guardiola frowned, trying to remember what happened a year ago.
"In the first half of that game, we continued to hold the ball and dominate the game as usual, but Italy's defense was very solid. They were born to defend. Their head coach was Dino Zoe. Husband, he specially arranged defensive tactics in the middle."
"We were playing 4-13. I delayed and Belleron struck forward. However, under the strict defense of the opponent, I didn't get too many opportunities. Belleron was also in the front midfielder. There is no room to play, so you can only retreat."
"In this case, although our two wing lanes have the advantage, there is no threat. The two forwards in the frontcourt are even more submerged in the opponent's defensive chain."
"What's really fatal is that when our offense was too late to create a threat, Italy used repeated counterattacks to hit a large gap between our defense and midfield, if it weren't for the goalkeeper Molina at the time. If the performance is eye-catching, I'm afraid we will be defeated in the first half."
Gao Han felt a bit empathetic when he heard the person's appearance.
This kind of strong attack, but being seized by the opponent to fight back, has always been a common occurrence on the football field.
"Because it was a warm-up match, the team changed the game in the second half and replaced Ngonga and El Guerra. They wanted to reverse the loopholes in the defense in the first half. But in this way, our offense and ball possession were gone. , But the defense was stabilized, and then took advantage of the opportunity of two corner kicks to score two goals."
Gao Han laughed bitterly when he heard this.
What is this?
"It was very controversial at first, but this warm-up game completely exposed so many problems, especially the two completely different results in the first and second halves, whether to continue to stick to the previous ball-handling style, or Adopting a more secure style of play, the competition is coming soon, this is a problem that the national team must face and solve."
This time, Gao Han finally understood.
"In the end, Camacho chose the latter. Among the eight midfielders in the official list, three defensive midfielders, El Guerra, Ngonga, and Hrade, were selected, plus one me, and four other defensive midfielders. One is Echbelia, Fran, Belleron and Mendieta."
When he heard this list, Gao Han understood that it was a compromise.
Herald was born in Barcelona youth training and played as a midfielder. It is a bit like Guardiola who is better defensively and has better confrontation ability, but weaker organization and passing ability.
Because of his characteristics, he gained fame in Valencia one season, and his performance was quite eye-catching. However, after returning to Barcelona last year, he was always depressed and unable to integrate into the team's play.
This is where things are, whether it is the national team or the Spanish fans, it is difficult to blame Camacho.
For top competitions like the World Cup and the European Cup, whether to achieve results or stick to style is really a dilemma.
Aragon
Nath also sighed with regret, and then Guardiola continued, "It's not over yet."
"It's not over yet?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
Guardiola nodded.
"The opponent in the first match of the European Cup group match was Norway. Camacho still stood out from the crowd and insisted on holding the ball. As a result, under the Norwegian's tight defense and rough fouls, the national team performed very well. Sluggish, lack of effective means to break the dense defense, on the contrary, it exposed the defensive problems of his team, and the Norwegian took the lead in scoring."
"In the end, the first game, zero to one, lost to Norway."
Gao Han smiled bitterly again, this is simply the night rain.
"After this game, Camacho began to adjust the team's play, abandoning the skillful possession of the ball before rehearsing, and looking for a more balanced play. In fact, the team also defeated two to one. Slovenia defeated Yugoslavia four to three, and finally lost to champion France one to two in the knockout round."
Aragones said this, his old eyes fell on Gao Han.
"Although our media has always been very critical and demanding, this time he was very tolerant of Camacho, so he was able to stay, but the experiment was aborted, but later a group of our old guys once reflected and summed up the reason why this team is anticlimactic. The crux of the matter."
Gao Han's eyes lit up, "What's the result?"
"The first is offense. One is the efficiency of offensive and defensive conversion. It is always too slow to transition from the center to the wing. Another is to rely too much on Pep’s organization and control. Once he is focused on defense, we control the ball. And the ability to control rhythm drops drastically. Without a change in rhythm, the offense will hardly be threatened."
Gao Han nodded, Aragones’s words are considered a golden rule.
"On the defensive side, the midfielder is too high, but the center defender on the back line is either too old or not fast, so the line of defense does not dare to press on it rashly, resulting in too long a distance to the midfield and too much space. Coupled with the lack of interception ability in the midfield, the team's defense is very problematic."
If there is a veteran in the defensive line, rashly pressing on, it is easy to reproduce the tragic situation of Atletico Madrid last season.
Having said this, Aragones looked at Alpine again.
"If I'm not mistaken, you brought in Deco and let him retreat to play in the midfield. This is to ensure that the midfielder has two core players who can control the rhythm, hold the ball, and get the ball. ?"
"And the Marcos Senna you reuse has excellent steal and interception skills, but at the same time has good shots and organizational skills. These two players, partnered with Harvey Alonso, can guarantee the maximum in the team. The ball-handling organization and defense of the field, should I be right?"
Gao Han is now full of amazement, because until now, he has not really felt how sharp this set of reinforced concrete Rhapsody's 4312 tactics is, this knowledge is too deep!
He, a newbie, has a lot to learn.
Aragones saw that Gao Han did not speak, and thought he had acquiesced, and continued: "But I still have a problem and I don't understand."
This time, the high cold suppressed the exclamation in my heart, "You said."
"In the defense, you let Millsard Ibic and introduced Carvalho, plus Marchena and Pablo Ibáñez. According to my observations, these three players have both speed and anti-ball ability. Not bad, the line of defense should be pressed forward, right?"
"I do have such thoughts." Gao Han said bluntly.
After the defense line was pressed forward, the Spanish national team exposed the problem of too much space between the midfield and the defense line, which can be solved, and the existence of three midfielders ensures the defense.
"According to your arrangement, the defense is indeed stable, but how about the offense? Although there is enough possession, how to solve the offense? The two sides of the frontcourt rely excessively on the insertion of two full backs, which is a huge hidden danger."
Gao Han smiled, and the wise old man was indeed the wise old man, and he immediately saw the crux of the matter.
But for this, he has already prepared.
"First of all, whether it is Villa or Torres, the personal abilities are very good, the speed is very fast, and the impact ability is very strong.
Pulling to the side, our overall defense line is pressed, the pressure on the full-backs is not as great as imagined, and..."
After hearing this, Aragones couldn’t help nodding his head again and again. This does make sense, but...
"And what?"
"In the front midfielder position, I arranged a player who has no personal ability to lose to Torres and Villa, and the ability to dribble the ball through the center and the speed is even faster and sharper than them..."
"What?" Aragones couldn't sit still, and cried out.
Gao Han chuckled smugly, what he wanted was this kind of effect.
In the new season, the trident of Atletico Madrid will definitely shock everyone in La Liga.
"Wait, what did you say..." Aragones immediately shook his head, "But it's not like it. From the information I got in the warm-up match, Baptista is not of this type. Player, is it..."
Chiao opened his eyes, "Kaka?"
My God, he actually dug such a player with such strategic value?
That's the middle of the frontcourt!
"Also, our defense and offense are not completely dependent on the frontcourt or the backcourt. Our defense line is also in the possession of the ball. The frontcourt offensive players are also in the defensive system. I give up the winger style. It is necessary to narrow the scope, concentrate superior forces in a local area, and exert pressure and oppression on opponents through overall coordinated operations."
"Through high-intensity frontcourt press and pressure, grab the ball in the shortest time. Once the interception is successful, a counterattack will be launched on the spot. If not, then pass back to the backcourt to control the ball and reorganize ~lightnovelpub.net~ This time not only Aragones was surprised, even Guardiola was stunned.
They didn't expect that Gao Han had even planned this.
No wonder he dared to sell Ugo Leal and Zoran Nigus!
Fortunately, Zambrano and others just laughed at him as stupid, in fact, they were the only ones who were stupid.
Gao Han was very satisfied with the effect he had created, and looked at Aragones with a smile.
"You are right, Louis, this is an experiment."
Aragones sighed heavily, then laughed, pointed at Gao Han, and said loudly, "You are either a genius or a lunatic!"
Gao Han thinks this is a compliment, "I also admire Bielsa very much."
Bielsa, the head coach of the Argentine national team, nicknamed-lunatic.
Aragones is not surprising, there are many people who admire and even worship Bielsa.
On the contrary, it was Guardiola. He was very excited when he heard what Gao Han said.
In the past few years, Barcelona has fallen into chaos. Even during Van Gaal’s coaching, Guardiola felt very helpless and weak in the midfield.
In fact, he has always longed for an environment where he can fully display his talents.
is the same as when he played under Cruyff. (To be continued.)
