When Gao Han threw the doubts in his heart in front of Aragonés, the Spanish old handsome man was full of sighs and regrets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Instead, Guardiola sighed lightly and took the initiative to answer the question.

"With the tournament just around the corner, there is more and more discussion and controversy inside and outside the team about the style of play, and although the qualifiers have won big games and the team has performed brilliantly, it is impossible to ignore that the opponents are weak and too unbalanced in attack and defence. ”

'In fact, in a lot of cases, even though we had possession, even against a team like Brazil, we had the ability to dominate the game and we played the ball very well, but our attack was not threatening, we were not efficient. ”

Guardiola's remarks once again caused Gao Han to think deeply.

Possession of the ball often means slowing down the tempo.

When encountering a weak team, the strength is not strong, controlling the ball, dominating the game, the opponent is the meat on the chopping board, you can slaughter as you want, but if you encounter a strong team, especially if the overall team is stronger, or a strong team with better defense, it is not so easy.

"I remember vividly that we played a warm-up game against Italy in preparation for the European Championships. ”

Pep Guardiola frowned, trying to think back to what happened a year ago.

'In the first half of that game, we pressed up and dominated the game as usual, but the Italian defence was very solid, they were born to defend, and their manager was Dino Zoff, who had a special strategy in the middle. ”

"We were originally playing four-one-three-two, I dragged back, and Belleron burst forward to play the front midfield, but under the strict defense of the opponent, I didn't get too many chances at all, and Belleron also didn't have space to play in the forward midfield position, so I had to retreat. ”

'In this situation, our two wings were dominant but not threatening, and the two forwards up front were drowned in the opposition's defensive chain. ”

"But what was really lethal was that when our attack was slow to threaten, Italy used counterattack after counter-attack to hit a large gap between our defence and midfield, and if it wasn't for the eye-catching performance of goalkeeper Molina at the time, I am afraid we would have lost in the first half. ”

Gao Han listened to the appearance of the person concerned, and felt a little empathy.

This kind of strong attack is not uncommon, but the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, which has always been common on the football field.

'Because it was a warm-up game, the team changed the way of play in the second half, replaced Ngonga and Elguera, and tried to reverse the holes in the first half of the defence, but in this way, our attack and possession were gone, but the defense was stable, and then we took advantage of two corners and scored two goals. ”

When Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What's going on?

"It was originally very controversial, but this warm-up game completely exposed so many problems, especially the two completely different results in the upper and lower halves, whether to continue to adhere to the previous style of play with the ball, or to adopt a more secure style of play, the big game is imminent, 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, and in the official list, out of the eight midfielders, three defensive midfielders such as Elguera, Ngonga and Gerrard, plus one me, and the other four were Etceberria, Forlan, Belleron and Mendieta. ”

When he heard this list, Gao Han understood that this was a compromise.

Gerrard came from Barcelona's academy and plays as a central midfielder, a bit like Pep Guardiola, who is better defensively and has stronger confrontation skills, but weaker playmaking and passing skills.

Because of these characteristics, he made a name for himself in Valencia in one season and performed quite eye-catching, but after returning to Barcelona last year, he has always been depressed and unable to integrate into the team's style of play.

When it comes to this, it is difficult for both the national team and the Spanish fans to blame Camacho.

For top tournaments like the World Cup and the European Championships, it's really a dilemma whether to produce results or stick to style.

Aragonés also sighed regretfully, and continued Guardiola's words: "It's not over yet. ”

"Not done yet?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

Pep Guardiola nodded.

"The opponent in the first game of the group stage of the European Championship was Norway, Camacho still tried his best to insist on playing with the ball, but as a result, under the strict defense of the Norwegians and the rough fouls, the national team performed very sluggishly, lacking the means to effectively break the dense defense, but instead exposed his team's defensive problems, and the Norwegians took the lead in scoring. ”

"In the end, the first game, 0-1, lost to Norway. ”

Gao Han smiled bitterly again, this is simply a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

After this game, Camacho began to adjust his team's style of play, abandoning the skilful possession of the ball in favor of a more balanced style of play, and in fact the team also beat Slovenia 2-1, Yugoslavia 4-3 and finally lost 1-2 to champions France in the knockout round. ”

When Aragonés said this, his old eyes fell on Gao Han's body.

"Although our media has always been very critical and harsh, this time they were very lenient with Camacho, so he was able to stay in office, but the experiment was aborted, but then a group of old guys of us reflected and summarized the crux of why this team is so stubborn. ”

Gao Han's eyes lit up, "What's the result?"

"The first is the attack, one is the efficiency of the transition between attack and defence, always have to transition from the middle to the wing, it is too slow, and the other is too dependent on Pep's organization and control, once he is focused on defense, our ball control and tempo control ability drops dramatically, without a change of pace, it is difficult to threaten the attack. ”

Gao Han nodded, Aragonés's words were a golden rule.

"Defensively, the midfield is pressed too high, but the central defenders on the back line are either old or not fast, so the defense line does not dare to press rashly, resulting in too long a distance from the midfield, too much space, coupled with the lack of interception ability in the midfield, which makes the team's defense very problematic. ”

If there are veterans in the backline, it is easy to repeat the miserable situation of Atletico Madrid last season.

Aragonés said this, and looked at Gao Han again.

"If I'm not mistaken, you brought in Deco and asked him to drop back to play in midfield to ensure that there are two core players in the midfield who can control the tempo, hold the ball, and play the ball at all times, right?"

"And the Marcos Senna you use heavily, with excellent tackling and interception, but at the same time good ball and playmaking skills, these two players partner Xavi Alonso, can ensure the best control and defense in the midfield, I should be right?"

Gao Han is now full of amazement, because it is only now that he really feels how sharp the 4312 tactics of this set of reinforced concrete rhapsody are, this knowledge is too deep!

He's a newcomer, and there's still a lot to learn.

Aragonés saw that Gao Han didn't speak, and thought that he had acquiesced, and continued: "But I still have a problem and don't understand it. ”

This time Gao Han suppressed the exclamation in his heart, "You say." ”

"In the backline, you let go of Millsard Ibić, brought in Carvalho, plus Marchena and Pablo Ibáñez, as far as I can see, these three players are not bad at speed and high ball defense, the defense should be pressed forward, right?"

"I do think so. Gao Han was blunt.

After pressing forward in the defensive line, the problem of too much space between the midfield and the back line exposed by the Spanish national team can be solved, and the existence of three backs ensures the defense.

"According to your arrangement, the defense is indeed solid, but what about the attack? Although there is enough possession, how can the attack be solved? The two wings in the front court rely too much on the insertion of two full-backs, and the hidden danger is huge. ”

Gao Han smiled in his heart, Zhisuo was indeed Zhisuo, and he immediately saw the crux of the problem.

But for these, he has been prepared for a long time.

"First of all, whether it's Villa or Torres, the individual quality is very good, the speed is fast, the impact is very strong, you can pull to the wings, our overall defense is pressed, the pressure on the full-backs is not as great as expected, and it is ......"

After hearing this, Aragonés couldn't help but nod his head again and again, which does make some sense, but ......

"And what?"

"In the midfield position, I have a player who is not inferior to Torres and Villa in the slightest, and who is even faster and sharper than them in the middle with the ball and the ability to break through in the middle......

"What?" Aragonés shouted as he couldn't sit still.

Gao Han laughed proudly, this is what he wants.

In the new season, the trident of Atletico Madrid will definitely make everyone's jaws drop in the entire La Liga.

"Wait, you're talking about ......" Aragonés immediately shook his head again, "but it's not like ah, from the information I got from the warm-up game, Baptista is not this type of player, is it ......"

Zhisuo's eyes widened, "Kaka?"

Oh my God, he actually poached such a player with such strategic value?

That's the middle of the front!

"Also, our defense and attack are not completely dependent on the front court or the backcourt, our back line is also in possession, and the attacking players in the front court are also in the defensive system, so I give up the winger play, which is to shrink the range, concentrate the superior forces in the local area, and exert pressure and pressure on the opponent through overall coordination. ”

"Through high-intensity pressing and pressing in the front court, grab the ball in the shortest possible time, once the ball is successful, launch a counterattack on the spot, if it doesn't work, then pass back to the back court to control the ball and reorganize. ”

This time not only Aragonés was surprised, but even Guardiola was dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Gao Han had even planned this.

No wonder he dared to sell Hugo Leal and Zoran Nigus!

It's a shame that Zambrano and the others laughed at him for being stupid just now, in fact, they were the ones who were stupid.

Gao Han was very satisfied with the effect he had created, and looked at Aragonés with a smile.

"You're right, Luis, it's an experiment. ”

Aragonés exhaled heavily, laughed as well, pointed at Gao Han, and said loudly: "You, either a genius or a madman!"

Gao Han felt that this was a compliment, "I also admire Bielsa very much. ”

Bielsa, the head coach of the Argentine national team, is nicknamed the madman.

It is not surprising that Aragonés admired and even admired the people of Bielsa, more.

On the contrary, it was Guardiola, listening to Gao Han's words, he was enthusiastic.

Over the past few years, Barcelona have been in disarray, and even during Louis van Gaal's tenure, Pep Guardiola felt helpless and weak in midfield.

In fact, he has always wanted an environment where he can use his talents to the fullest.

Just like when I played under Cruyff. (To be continued.) )
