Chapter 30 Formation Down
Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri from Italy, the top giants in European football, is the dream stage of countless top players.
Inter Milan bid to regain the Champions League title after 45 years, and Inter Milan's road to winning the Champions League is a road to conquering the whole of Europe.
In the knockout rounds, Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern won the cup in one fell swoop, especially the two-legged battle against Barcelona, known as the Cosmos team, in the semi-finals, won with a score of 3:1 at home, and when visiting Camp Nou, under the unfavorable situation of being sent off, Inter Milan kept the score of 1:0 to the end, and finally entered the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 3:2.
In the Champions League final, he defeated the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich with a score of 2:0 and was successfully crowned with two sharp counterattacks.
He won the championship of the first league and the Coppa Italia, and achieved the unprecedented treble in Italian football.
And Inter Milan, who created this magical record, played in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Of course, these things are now only known to Chen Xiaojian.
Chen Xiaojian played a five-pointed star in front of the 4-2-3-1, and this formation will be the one that Chen Xiaojian will focus on.
Chen Xiaojian wrote another line of numbers below 4-2-3-1, 4-1-2-2-1.
The 4-1-2-2-1 formation is actually a variation of the 4-4-2 formation, which mainly pushes the two full-back positions forward to become left and right wingers, and then takes down a striker and replaces it with a midfielder.
The 4-1-2-2-1 formation can also be referred to as the 4-3-3 formation, where the 1-2 consists of a midfielder and two central midfielders to form a small inverted triangle in midfield, and the 2-1 consists of two wingers and a striker to form a large triangle.
The advantage of the 4-1-2-2-1 formation is that it not only uses the depth of the field, but also uses the width of the field, but because the two wingers are more forward than the full-backs, and there is only one back, the protection of the back line is insufficient, so the wingers need to press more in the front court during the game, and they also need to be able to retreat and defend when necessary.
After Chen Xiaojian wrote these formations, he put down his pen, rubbed his temples, and thought for a while.
In fact, there are many, many other formations, but Chen Xiaojian decided to make a choice among these few, and others such as three defenders, three backs, no strikers, etc., Chen Xiaojian did not consider using them.
As an amateur team, and a temporary team, the most important thing is to first identify the defense. In Chen Xiaojian's view, if you put on a formation like three defenders, you are undoubtedly looking for death.
Because there has always been a consensus in football that if you don't have three superstar defenders, don't think about a back three.
And a very important point is that in Chen Xiaojian's memory, it is difficult to succeed in the three-back formation, and the most impressive one should be the Dutch team led by Dutch coach Louis van Gaal in the 14 World Cup.
But even if it is as strong as the Netherlands, it can only achieve the third result in the World Cup, so Chen Xiaojian has never considered playing a three-back formation from the beginning.
As for the three backs or no strikers, these are not within Chen Xiaojian's consideration, such a lineup will sacrifice the team's offensive ability, after all, Chen Xiaojian's scumbags are not professional players.
Maybe when the team encounters special circumstances in the game and needs to fight, Chen Xiaojian may fight hard, but before that, the first thing Chen Xiaojian needs to consider is the team's defense.
And there is a saying in football that "offense wins the game, defense wins the championship".
After the team is formed, it will be the first football team of Dagang High School, a new army composed entirely of scumbags.
While considering the results, Chen Xiaojian never thought about it at all, and he would not ask Bian Yuanya to be able to play beautiful and beautiful football.
When they go together against teams from other schools, especially some strong teams, they naturally put themselves in the position of weakness.
Therefore, Chen Xiaojian must first establish a basic mentality for the team and defend and counterattack.
No matter how ugly the scene is, as long as there are results, who will care in the end?
Since ancient times, the winners are the princes and the losers.
It's like when people mention Greek mythology, everyone knows that Greece has created an incredible football miracle, it was the winner of that European Cup, and who cares if it plays offensive football or defensive football?
Since it was decided that the main thing to play defensive counterattacks in the future, Chen Xiaojian also decided to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.
And the defensive counterattack is not necessarily ugly, thinking back to the road to winning the treble of Inter Milan in the future, Real Madrid's 100-point championship, the same passion, which makes people excited.
Chen Xiaojian turned the page, then solemnly wrote a line of numbers, 4-2-3-1, and then wrote four words after 4-2-3-1, defending and counterattacking.
This is the starting formation and game method chosen by Chen Xiaojian.
After determining the starting formation, Chen Xiaojian also had to consider changing the formation.
Because this is Chen Xiaojian's first time playing a football game, it is inevitable that they will encounter opponents who are stronger or more experienced than themselves in the game.
Then the situation that the team is behind on the field will definitely appear, how to play at this time? Chen Xiaojian also has to think about it in advance.
If the team is behind in the score, especially in the knockout game of a single-elimination system, then it is natural to strengthen the attack in order to equalize or even overtake the score.
In terms of offense, whether it is a 4-1-2-1-2 formation or a 4-1-2-2-1 formation, Chen Xiaojian turned the paper back to the front page, looked at the numbers on the paper, supported his chin with his left hand, and was stunned.
Chen Xiaojian felt that both formations were good, and it was a little difficult to choose, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Chen Xiaojian thought about it for a long time, and finally used a pen to draw a slash on the 4-1-2-1-2 formation, giving up the 4-1-2-1-2 formation and deciding to use the 4-1-2-2-1 as a variation formation.
The reason for the 4-1-2-2-1 formation is mainly because Chen Xiaojian's starting formation is 4-2-3-1, so it is relatively easier to change the formation to 4-1-2-2-2-1.
It only takes a midfield position to be brought forward and turned into a central midfield position. If you choose to change the formation in a 4-1-2-1-2 big diamond position, you need to replace a midfielder, replace a striker, and then push the central midfielder forward to the forward position.
In this case, it will be more troublesome to change the formation, and it will be relatively inflexible.
If you make adjustments at halftime, it's fine, but if you make on-the-spot adjustments in the second half, it's more troublesome and easy to create a little confusion among the players on the field.
If this mess leads to conceding goals again, it will be completely meaningless.
