The first to make a move was Zhang Sheng, as the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and the second move suffers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Zhang Sheng made a thunderous change to drop Pato from the top of the front line to midfield, changing the formation from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-6-0 strikerless formation.

It should be said that the change of formation is very timely, the players have reached the end of the strong crossbow after more than 30 minutes of attacking on the field, especially Pato on the front line is often submerged in several tall defenders, this retreat makes his space larger.

In the 36th minute of the first half, the Dragons ushered in the best chance of the game, when Western Sydney's full-back Cole passed the ball to the middle, Zhang Hao resisted Kuby's body and gave the ball to Kante, Kante did not pass the ball directly this time, but suddenly accelerated past Bridge.

Because Kante has always been pass-oriented before, rarely taking the ball and breaking through with the ball, this gives Western Sydney players an illusion that Kante is not a player who is good at breaking through, so Kante's sudden acceleration caught Western Sydney off guard. Seeing that Bridge was passed, Larosa, who had been entangled with Pato in the midfield, hurriedly came over to defend Kante, this time Kante did not say that the ball was assigned to the side or handed over to Lin Feng to deal with it as before, but played very simply and directly, before La Rosa forced to the side, a straight kick was given to Pato, and Pato started with the ball directly after getting the ball.

Facing Pato who started with the ball, Mullen, one of the opponent's central defenders, quickly pressed over, but Pato, who was running at high speed, cleverly handed the ball to Lin Feng, who was inserted from behind, and Lin Feng made a non-stop pass at the front of the penalty area, and Pato also inserted it into the penalty area at the right time.

Because Pato has enough space to accelerate in the whole attack, the players in Western Sydney can't catch up with Pato in the outburst at all, and when they want to turn around and chase Pato again, the weakness of being tall and strong in head-on confrontation but slow turning is exposed very thoroughly, Pato's high-speed sprint makes them completely unable to keep up, and Pato, who enters the penalty area, gets the opportunity to shoot alone in front of the goalkeeper.

Liu Jiayuan also shouted loudly: "Good opportunity, Lin Feng's second pass, Pato God understood the insertion, Pato entered the penalty area, and made a single knife." Shot, beautiful, goal, Pato's goal, beautiful coordination, beautiful goal, that's the strength of the Dragons!"

In the face of this goal, the fans in the stadium also waved their arms loudly, and the stadium became a sea of red joy.

Zhang Sheng also waved his fist excitedly on the field, and the players on the bench also rushed out to greet Pato's celebration.

Popovich was a little annoyed, because he was just about to make a change to the tactics, the opponent made a change in advance, so that his players were completely unprepared, this loss of the ball should be his own responsibility, he did not expect the opponent to have this move at all.

In fact, Popovich has confirmed that Kante is the connecting point between the Longteng team's backline and the midfield, and when he was about to deploy this core joint point accordingly, the opponent used this point to give himself a heavy blow, or a step slower.

Liu Jiayuan commented on this goal and said: "It seems that Coach Zhang Sheng has made some fine-tuning to the tactics on the field just now, and Pato was withdrawn from the center forward position to the midfield. Oh, this should be a strikerless formation, there are very few teams in China that use this tactic, it seems that except for Guangzhou Evergrande's Lippi coach, other coaches have not used it. ”

In fact, domestic fans often complain about the backward tactical play of domestic clubs, and there are considerable reasons why many mainstream tactics in Europe are rarely used in China.

Taking Spain, Germany, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United and other national teams and clubs as examples, this is a very advanced tactic, but this tactic requires a very high configuration of players. For a strikerless formation, it is usually necessary to put out a pseudo-striker who is not a standard striker, and the highest level is to pass the ball into the opponent's goal through the cooperation of multiple people. The frontcourt must be able to control, lead, break through, and pass, and there must be at least 4 four-ability players, and at least 2 two-ability players are required to be able to run and shoot locally. The ability to run here refers to the consciousness of running. It is difficult for the national football team to discharge such a staffing allocation. The teams in the world that use no strikers are usually super strong teams with technical streams.

The key to the strikerless formation is to control the ball, and the second is to pass and receive. It's a pity that it is difficult for domestic players to meet this requirement because of the selection of materials in the football circle.

In the early days of Chinese football, there were many players who could control the ball and pass the ball among the players in Shanghai and Nanpai, but because of physical reasons, they were often bullied by foreign teams during the confrontation, resulting in overkill in the selection of domestic players, the most extreme time was more than 20 years ago, that is, in the mid-80s of the 20th century, Chinese football was very close to the World Cup, but finally lost to the fierce New Zealand team. Since then, the Football Association has learned from the pain: Chinese football is poor in headers and bodies, and the level of set-pieces also needs to be improved, so add a rule in the league: in the league, one goal scored through corner kicks, free kicks, and headers is counted as two goals.

After the introduction of this rule, the level of Chinese football has not improved, but the probability of scoring one goal and two goals has increased, and the score has become higher and higher. In many games, everyone has already attacked the opponent's door, and they have to stop and use their heads to put the ball into the goal, which is really a strange story in world football.

In addition, the physical test stipulated by the football school later required players who participated in the league every year to pass the UU physical test, so that many tall and brainless players became the mainstream of players, and the players' foot skills were completely ignored.

After years of wrong selection, there are fewer and fewer domestic players who can control the ball and complete high-level passing and receiving.

In recent years, after the Chinese Super League began to develop vigorously, most of the players with strong feet were bought by Guangzhou Evergrande at a high price, which led to the only one in China who could play the tactics of no striker only Guangzhou Evergrande.

The Longteng team is completely because of the welfare of Zhang Sheng, a reborn with a golden finger, from the very beginning of the club's players on the basis of tactics and selection of materials Zhang Sheng values those players with good skills at the feet, even if some players have other characteristics, but Zhang Sheng still attaches great importance to the exercise of their foot skills in ordinary training, like Li Yun is a fruit of Zhang Sheng's strengthening of foot training after being called.

Among these players on the field now, whether it is Pato, Mahrez, Ding Huaiyi or Lin Feng, the skills at their feet and the ability to pass and receive are all first-class. Even N'Golo Kante, a midfielder, came to the team, Zhang Sheng practiced his skills very well, which is why he was able to pass the ball straight through.

As a former international player, Xu Yang still has some insight in tactics, he said: "Evergrande is because of the concentration of a large number of international players, and at the same time there are very good foreign players in the team, so in terms of the ability of the players, they can only support the non-striker." From what I have learned, all the players of the Longteng team usually train with their feet and the ground passing, so you see that the players who stay in the team and transfer out are generally very popular, because their players can hold the ball and pass the ball. As for their youth training, they are even more proud of their good skills at their feet, so their ability to play without a striker is the result of non-stop training in the past few years. This goes back to what we talked about at the beginning of the game, which is that the club must stick to its own style and as long as it is in the right direction, it must be unwavering. ”

In Xu Yang's commentary, the players of the Longteng team began to patiently fall to their feet in the midfield again, because a goal had already allowed them to take the initiative and control the rhythm of the game by passing and receiving the ball. In the face of the rapid downfall of the Dragons midfielder, the players in Western Sydney obviously did not have much to do.

At this time, Popovich also began to make tactical adjustments to the players on the field, first of all, one of the two strikers, Kuby retreated to the midfield and began to harass Kante, while Mullen, the shortest of the central defenders, also pushed out of the back line and began to mark Pato closely.

It's just that now it's the end of the first half of the game, everyone's running can't be as powerful as at the beginning, Western Sydney's current 4-5-1 formation is more defensive in the backfield, and the Longteng team can't find more opportunities for a while, and after the non-stop entanglement in the midfield, the first half of the game is over.

At halftime, Zhang Sheng seemed very relaxed, because his tactics were basically reflected, and the opponent obviously did not have much to do with his own tactics, they could only rely on constantly running on the field to make up for the position to prevent the attack of the Longteng team, but this kind of defensive method in the second half of the second half The opponent will definitely have big problems in terms of physical fitness, even a very physical player like Australia is not immune.

Zhang Sheng also made it clear to the players: "In the second half, everyone relied on maintaining the first half of the game, and the opponent's foot ability was not good, and there would definitely be problems later." Keep up the good work, everybody. ”

Popovich, on the other hand, nervously made a tactical arrangement in the dressing room: "There is an important transition pivot in the opponent's attack, which is their midfielder N'Golo Kante, as long as we limit him, we can slow down their attack and give them a complete blow at this part of their combination." ”

"Bridge, you and Tenfiro hit Kante back and forth, once he has the ball, your task is not to let him pass the ball, and if he wants to break through with the ball again, grab his ball and fight back at the first time. Popovich laid out.

'Mullen, if you play at centre-back, you have to keep an eye on their striker Pato, who is the only threat they have up front. ”

'Kuby, you have to play to the advantage of your speed, both of their centre-backs have good headers, but the speed of turning around can be a problem and you are determined to play behind them. After everyone gets the ball, try to find Kubi and let us break them. Popovich sensationalized. (To be continued.) )
