Chapter 384: Football Match (5)
At this time, Martinez was laying out the tactics for the second half of the game for his players. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, at this time, Martinez couldn't come up with any good way to deal with it, and could only encourage the players of the British team to work harder, more actively, and fiercely in the second half, and strive to chase the score back, etc.
Racing Martinez was a football enthusiast rather than a professional footballer, and the skill and tactics of the Traveler in the first half of the game were far beyond his realisation. Because Martinez has never seen football play like this before, there seems to be no difference in position between overseas Chinese teams, almost all pressed when attacking, and all retreating when defending, and it is not clear at all the difference between strikers and defenders.
However, Martinez also had to admit that this kind of indiscriminate kicking by overseas Chinese is indeed extremely dangerous, causing the overseas Chinese to have a numerical advantage in each local area, and at the same time making the British team passive throughout the game.
What makes Martinez even more depressed is that although the British have an obvious advantage in height, they basically have no upper hand in the fight for headers, because they are in the penalty area, and the overseas Chinese goalkeepers do not follow the rules of Martinez's cognition at all, and other goalkeepers are honestly standing in front of the goal to guard the goal, which has such a full penalty area, and even competes with the striker for the high ball. Although the goalkeeper of the overseas Chinese is slightly shorter than the striker of the British team, coupled with the length of his hands, and he is the defensive side, it is naturally a big advantage to compete for the high ball in the penalty area, and once there is no advantage of the header, the British team's attack will naturally be dismantled. The goal that the team pulled back was actually very lucky.
However, Martinez also knows that this kind of general agitation is not the way to go, and if he doesn't make some changes and continue to play like this, he will definitely not win this game. Therefore, Martinez can only make some adjustments to the team according to his own perception.
First of all, in terms of offense, Martinez of course knows that the British team must strengthen the attack in the second half, otherwise it will be impossible to win this game, and the best way to strengthen the attack is to strengthen the number of forwards, but this is bound to reduce the number of defenders, and the overseas Chinese's attack is too sharp, the 4 defenders are full of loopholes, Martinez really does not dare to reduce the number of defenders, can only adjust the existing 6 forwards.
Martinez first replaced two forwards, let the two strikers on the bench who are more than 1.90 meters tall play, and replaced two relatively short forwards, so that four of the strikers of the British team are more than 1.90 meters tall, and the other two are also close to 1.90 meters, further strengthening the advantage of height and heading; On the right side, the ball is hit to the left and right sides, and after the left and right strikers compete for the header, they will then hang diagonally into the penalty area, so that the striker does not have to fight with his back to the top, which is much easier.
In terms of defense, Martinez asked the back line to retreat to the front of the penalty area as a whole to defend, and not easily step forward to intercept to prevent overseas Chinese from playing behind again. Because in the first half, overseas Chinese use more tactics to play the ball behind them, as long as the British defender grabs, a large gap will be exposed behind him, and the overseas Chinese will send the ball behind him, which will be inserted by the players in the back row to form a breakthrough.
In fact, the traverser plays the ball behind the back, because the British team's defenders are too flat, the four defenders stand in a straight line, lack of thickness and depth protection, and naturally it is broken with a stab, in fact, it is very simple to solve this problem, that is, one person from the four defenders is dragged back, forming depth protection, the effect is much better, but in this era, there is no such concept of depth defense, the chain defense created by Italy, it will not appear until 30 years later, not to mention the half-hung level like Martinez can understand, just wait for the overall back of the guard line, compress the space for the defender to play the ball behind him。
In addition, in the first half, the British team's defense also has a serious problem, that is, watching the ball does not look at people, and the ball holders are often crowded up, while the players who run without the ball are not staring closely, so a pass from the traverser can tear apart the British team's defense. At this time, due to the lack of defensive awareness and defensive organization, there is a lack of a defensive organization and commander to look at the overall command, but Martinez of course cannot come up with a good solution, can only clearly limit the defensive area of the four defenders, each with its own responsibility, not beyond his own responsibility area.
Finally waited for Martinez to finish the tactics, and then the game time in the second half was also up, just when Martinez led the players out of the lounge and returned to the court, Huo Bilan found a vacancy, grabbed Martinez, and said: "Colonel, how about the game in the second half, can we still win?" ”
Although Martinez's heart was empty, he couldn't admit it on the surface at this time, so he could only hold on, and said: "Mr. Consul, please rest assured, the first half was just an accident, we have found a way to deal with overseas Chinese, so we will definitely be able to pull the score back in the second half, and the victory will definitely belong to the British Empire." ”
After listening to Martinez's words, Huo Bilan also seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and his heart settled down a little, at this time the players on both sides had returned to the court, and the second half of the game was about to start. Huo Bilan also knew that he couldn't do anything now, and at this time he could only hope that God would bless the British Empire, so Huo Bilan could only pray silently, and then returned to the VIP table.
In the second half of the game, the crosser kicked off first, after the game began, the British team was still divided into two groups, 6 forwards overwhelmed the midfield, and 4 defenders all retreated to the front of the penalty area, in the entire midfield, forming a great open field, the result was that the crosser easily broke through the midfield, and pressed into the area of 30 meters in front of the British team's goal. And this area, in the old plane, was already a dangerous area that could threaten the goal.
However, the British team's back line did shrink very far back and retreated into the penalty area, so it did leave no space for the crosser to pass the ball behind him, so the crosser was not in a hurry to attack, but passed the ball inverted within 30 meters in front of the British team's goal, patiently looking for opportunities.
I saw the ball at the feet of the traverser, from the left to the right, and from the right to the left, in 2 minutes, repeated 3 or 4 times, if it was in the first half, I am afraid that the British team's back line has already been ripped apart with the movement of the ball, but at this time the British team's 4 defenders were unmoved, each guarding their own defensive area, and always maintaining the integrity of the back line.
Martinez, who was on the sidelines, was also relieved when he saw it, it seems that the defense he arranged has played a role, effectively limiting the attack of overseas Chinese, so it seems that the second half is still promising.
At this moment, the traverser finally began to attack, Wang Xiaoyu broke through the left ribs with the ball, and ran to the left corner of the penalty area, which is the junction of the defensive area of the British team's central defender Taylor and right-back Houghton, both of whom hesitated, not knowing whether they should grab or not. But at this moment, Wang Xiaoyu had burst into the penalty area from the left corner of the penalty area, and then took advantage of the situation to shoot, and at this time the goalkeeper Hilton could not save, and the ball hung in the right corner of the goal into the net to score.
Shortly after the start of the second half, the Travelers scored another goal to extend the score to 3-1 and reextend the lead to a two-goal gap.
At halftime, Wang Hailong also made some adjustments to the tactics of the traverser, the most important adjustment is to require the players not to play too fast when attacking, to properly control the rhythm, and should make full use of the width of the court, pull the opponent more, patiently look for the weaknesses in the opponent's defense, and strive to seize every opportunity.
It turns out that Wang Hailong is a bystander, and he is completely aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the first half of the game, generally speaking, modern football attaches great importance to offensive speed, and strives to be a step faster than the opponent's defense, and the traverser is naturally accustomed to this style of play, but playing fast means that there are more mistakes, not to mention that the technical level of the traverser is also very limited, so in the first half of the game, although the traverser created a lot of opportunities, but there were also a lot of mistakes, and there were some good opportunities to score, but also because of too fast and missed.
The British team's back line has always maintained only 4 defenders, the integrity of the defense is very poor, and the midfield is completely abandoned, so there is no need for the crosser to pursue speed too much, it is better to slow down the rhythm of the attack, take advantage of the crosser's advantages in technology, awareness, and tactics, reduce mistakes, and play success.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the Traveler did not rush to attack, but patiently passed the ball backwards in the front court, mobilizing the opponent's defense on the one hand, and looking for opportunities on the other. Although the British team's back line shrank, compressing the space for the crosser to send the ball behind him, and assigning the defensive area of the defender, it was not mobilized by the crosser's pass, but through repeated passes, the crosser still found an opportunity.
Although the British team made up for the defensive loopholes in the first half by adjusting the defense, there were two new weaknesses, one is that the British team's defense line has shrunk, although it compresses the space for the crosser to send the ball behind him, but it also gives up the dangerous zone of about 10 meters in the front of the penalty area, and in this area, it is possible to directly threaten the opponent's goal with a long shot; Although it is not easy to be pulled apart, the number of defenders in the local area is insufficient, and it is often the weakness of the defensive line at the junction of the defense zone of the two defenders.
This time, the Traveler took advantage of these two weaknesses in the British team's defence, scoring another goal at the beginning of the game and extending their lead.
