The tactic of high pressure is often mentioned, and many times it is interpreted as a very advanced and fashionable tactic.

In fact, this is a very old tactic, from the 70s of the last century in the Netherlands to the beginning of the full attack and defense, to the middle of Sacchi, including Xu Genbao's guidance and advocacy of "rushing to encircle", are the embodiment of this tactical thinking, to now, after Ferguson's Manchester United, Rijcald's Barcelona continue to improve, to Guardiola, Simeone and Klopp, this tactic has matured and has become a common tactic.

A tactic is just a tactic, and the reality is to see whether it is suitable for the team and the level of the people who have used it.

I think that when Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactics were a smash hit, all bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods claimed to play Tiki-Taka tactics, so all kinds of different Tiki-Taka tactics came out one after another, except for being smiling and generous, they did not leave any effect.

The same is true for high oppression.

Zhang Sheng himself won't say anything. Since taking over the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng has been preparing for the high pressing tactics until the second season of the Chinese Super League, which requires the team to practice a unified style from the youth team to the first team, and the players also need to have a good ball quotient - calling players is the best choice. Because this tactic requires a very tacit understanding between the players, or the habit of following the overall formation needs to be formed in long-term training, the lack of any pressure point will make the overall tactic fail, resulting in the risk of being counterattacked.

After all, the purpose of high pressure is not to defend, but to attack, which is the core value of high pressing, if it is just to run through the defense and counterattack, then there is no need to take this risk, the team has completely moved back the overall defense line, intensive defense, wouldn't it be more efficient and simple, and there is no need for a lot of physical strength to support.

is also relying on the implementation of a good high-level pressing style of play, the Longteng team is not only in the Chinese Super League, but also at the AFC Champions League level.

As for the opponent team, like the peak Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool Zhang Sheng have not encountered it, but I don't know what the genuine high pressure of the complete body looks like, but I have encountered a high imitation version like RB Leipzig, anyway, it was beaten.

In terms of teams at the Asian level, the most impressive images of Zhang Sheng in Japanese and Korean clubs are Jeonbuk Hyundai and Kashima Antlers, the high pressure of these two teams is probably a special version, and the same level is Guangzhou Evergrande during the Lippi period.

Of course, there is also a clearance version. In the Chinese Super League, there are often teams in the beginning of the game to press in a fierce high position, hoping to rely on this Longteng team to be caught off guard, and the effect can be almost zero.

Finally, there is the Xixi version of high pressing, this version is full of loopholes, usually relying on one or two strikers in front of desperate pressing, other players staring dryly, most of the time the result is a counterattack after the Dragons walk the monkey to score a goal.

Once it was confirmed that Guangzhou Evergrande was deliberately playing a high-position pressing tactic, Zhang Sheng, who was very familiar with this tactic, immediately came to countermeasures.

With the clear instructions of the head coach, the players of the Longteng team, who had already tore apart the opponent's high pressure encirclement through rapid passing, ran in advance, and came to life at once.

In the twelfth minute of the first half, Guangzhou Evergrande pressed Shen Jun who held the ball on the right side, and Shen Jun gave full play to the characteristics of his team player, and his off-ball running and fast passing continued to pull Lu Zhihui on the back line and Qi Ming in the back position.

After attracting as many as five players from Guangzhou Evergrande, the trio in successive passes finally achieved what they wanted, and De Paul, who had been running in front of him to find a passing route, finally found an open position to receive Shin Jun's forward pass.

Shin Joon also lived up to De Paul's expectations, also playing on the left side, and the two have been in training countless times with full-backs and full-backs/wingers.

At this time, Guangzhou Evergrande backfield, because Paulinho and Lin Feng have gone over to scramble, the space in the middle is infinite, in addition to the veteran captain Zheng Zhi, there are two central defenders on the back line.

Scolari's carefully arranged pressing encirclement in midfield has a problem, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and the Dragons have found a way to deal with it.

"Evergrande's backfield is empty. "Lou Yicheng also discovered Evergrande's loophole at once," Goulart was desperately chasing back. De Paul's shift, beautiful, Fernando on the right rushed. ”

Seeing Fernando who was running, Lou Yicheng was also stunned: "At this speed, Li Xuepeng was thrown so far at once, and Du Zhenyu came over again, and another one passed, and the goal was scored!"

'It was a brilliant goal, three goals in a row. Entering the penalty area was like no man's land, and in the blink of an eye the ball went into the goal. Liu Yue was still immersed in the excitement of scoring a goal, "This goal can definitely be selected as the best goal in this round of the league, it's so beautiful." ”

At this time, the replay of the goal appeared on the screen, and Li Xuepeng, the first to be lip-witted, was captured: "MLGB is too fast, me!"

Lou Yicheng couldn't hold back for a moment: "Poof." He laughed out loud.

Fernando's goal not only amazed the commentators and frightened the opposing players, but also surprised the Longteng expeditionary force who came to watch the game.

Chen Jiangfeng has just spent his first year of college, from an ignorant teenager to an "old fan", and at the same time, he also has his first girlfriend.

This time, Chen Jiangfeng signed up for the expeditionary force with his girlfriend, of course, the Longteng Club will provide a bus to send them over, in addition to some subsidies for the away expedition, including water, lunch boxes and so on.

In view of Chen Jiangfeng's girlfriend's good looks, she was placed at the front of the most conspicuous fan phalanx, and Chen Jiangfeng was in the row behind his girlfriend.

When Fernando rushed up on the field, the rookie beauty, who had long since not watched the game for the first time, began to scream excitedly.

In the end, when Fernando freehand connected the three and sent the ball into the net, Chen Jiangfeng and his girlfriend had already begun to celebrate wildly, one waving the team scarf in his hand vigorously, and the other took advantage of the sharper female voice: "Ah!!hhhh

The camera in charge of the broadcast is also very powerful, just when Chen Jiangfeng wanted to hug his girlfriend for a hug, the camera came, Chen Jiangfeng quickly let go, looking for a girlfriend by himself, but his parents didn't know.

The question is, how can this escape the eyes of Chen's father, because he has to go to work the next day, and Chen's father, who did not follow the team's expedition, is watching the game at home at this time, and we don't know how Chen Jiangfeng will explain it after he goes home.

"Evergrande's goal is that they played too aggressively. Liu Yue was analyzing the game, "Since the beginning of this season, Evergrande's game has been more about suffocating to kill the opponent, and suddenly playing so passionately that the team's midfield loopholes have been exposed." ”

"Definitely. Paulinho's forward insertion is a double-edged sword. When encountering a team with average skills at the feet, the counterattack is not fast, and it is not a big problem, but the ability of the Longteng team to pass and receive the ball proves that Evergrande must be cautious and cautious in the matter of forward insertion. Lou Yicheng also agrees with Liu Yue.

The commentators can see Evergrande's tactical problems, Scolari, as an experienced champion coach, how could he not know that after kicking off again, Guangzhou Evergrande's formation has changed, 4-2-3-1 Lin Feng in the 3 was pulled back, he was responsible for the protection of the midfield, Zheng Zhi was pushed up, and the team became 4-3-3.

In Scolari's thinking, this game is about attacking anyway, and after conceding a goal, it is better to use the more aggressive 4-3-3 to attack.

Speaking of the tactic of 4-3-3, Guangzhou Evergrande's players should be familiar with it, whether it is the Lippi stage or the Cannavaro stage, the 4-3-3 formation is Evergrande's usual formation.

Diego Costa and Goulart make the ball in a 4-3-3 formation, and there are two forward central midfielders who can provide support at the first time, which can not only solve the problem of low efficiency in the front court, but also solve the weakness of the team's attack without speed and depth, because the high position can further suppress the opponent's formation by pressing the second attack behind the opponent.

Scolari is very stubborn, as a champion coach, he has his own pride, and he refuses to give the outside world a suspicion of his predecessor, so he rarely plays 4-3-3, but if you think that he stubbornly kicked Romario out of the World Cup squad in Brazil, reused Deco in Portugal, and abandoned Rui Costa to assume that he is a manager who does not know how to change, then you are really wrong.

Choosing to make changes at crucial moments is a necessary quality for a manager, and Scolari is not lacking in those, with the 4-3-3 coming at this point.

After scoring a goal against Evergrande, Zhang Sheng was actually thinking about it: "How should Scolari face this situation." ”

Zhang Sheng believes that Evergrande's side will most likely give up high-level pressure and return to the traditional tactics of sniping in the middle circle, because after all, this is the tactic that Guangzhou Evergrande is most familiar with under Scolari's tutelage.

After kicking off again, Guangzhou Evergrande played another beautiful attack, this time Diego Costa, who played a decisive role, after receiving Zheng Zhi's half-high pass in the frontcourt, unloaded the ball steadily, and Lu Zhihui's desperate top behind him was blocked by Diego Costa with his big ass.

Observing that his teammates have not come up for the time being, and the Longteng team is roaring, Tao Wentao two backs came to grab it, Diego Costa knew that he had to make a decision, and after a slight half-turn, Diego Costa chose a long shot from outside the penalty area, which is a typical strong shot in front of the penalty area by a typical center forward.

Diego Costa's shot relied on concealment and the power of the shot to catch the goalkeeper off guard.

He almost succeeded in this shot.

"Costa, shoot. Jiang Zhizhi pounced and got rid of it, fortunately, there were no players from Guangzhou Evergrande in the penalty area to grab the second point, and Liming chased after him and kicked the ball out of the bottom line, just to be on the safe side. Lou Yicheng is also feeling sorry for the Evergrande team, "Costa's shot reminds me of Batistuta, the heavy cannon at the top of the arc of the penalty area, if this goal is scored, it will be a typical Batti goal." ”

Jiang Mingming obviously has not seen the power of competing with a player like Diego Costa, who when shooting, although Jiang Mingming was blocked by his own defenders, and Diego Costa's shot was too sudden, but it was really a very dangerous thing to save the ball and get out of his hand, and Jiang Mingming was obviously not prepared for the power of this shot.

If you're not actually on the field, you won't experience what a heavy bombardment is.

In Lou Yicheng's commentary, Guangzhou Evergrande got another opportunity for a corner kick, and it was Lin Feng who was responsible for the corner kick.

"Evergrande's corner kick, although it conceded the ball first, but it is obvious that Evergrande's offensive intensity is greater, and the Longteng team has not yet won a corner kick. Lou Yicheng introduced the data, "The corner kick is out, the pocket comes in, the front point is rubbed, the header, the ball is in!! Paulinho, Paulinho again, stood up in the team that needed to score." ”

"How could the Dragons have missed Paulinho. Let's look at the goal again. Liu Yue reviewed the goal frame by frame, "Lin Feng is obviously very familiar with his former teammates, he didn't hang directly in the middle, and chose to send the front point." The two centre-backs of the Dragons are still very experienced in handling a little bit of high-altitude balls. Diego Costa appeared very suddenly, and the key point was Paulinho's forward plug ball to the top of the ball even more suddenly. ”

"Sure enough, as we said before. With Paulinho's game, you know he's going to go forward, but you don't know when he's going to go forward or where he's going to go, so you can never guard him. "Maybe Paulinho is from Barcelona right away, and people suddenly find out that he has become a giant player, and suddenly he has become a giant player from the Chinese Super League, and all kinds of praise (licking) are taken for granted.

After the goal, Paulinho did not let go of such a good atmosphere, rushed to the sidelines, and after hugging Scolari, he kept raising his hands while walking on the field, making the cheers of Guangzhou Evergrande fans who were crazy enough on the sidelines even louder.

"The atmosphere at Tianhe Stadium is absolutely top notch in Asia. As a Shanghainese, Lou Yichen also has to admire Guangzhou's ball market.

The commentators and fans were cheering for Paulinho, but as the head coach, Zhang Sheng was reviewing the goal from a different angle.

The goal conceded by the Dragons looked like a corner set-piece, but the real origin came from Diego Costa's shot in front of the penalty area, so who organized the attack, it was Zheng Zhi, the player who started the game in a defensive midfield position.

It is not common for defensive midfielders to insert to organize attacks, especially since Guangzhou Evergrande already has a B2B midfielder like Paulinho, and it is impossible to defend the midfield.

Whether it is Zheng Zhi's own premise on a whim, or Guangzhou Evergrande's intentional arrangement, Zhang Sheng still needs to see.
