Chapter 621: Great Fusion

"To be honest, I'm a very insecure person because I've had a lot of setbacks. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gao Han's voice sounded in the venue, making everyone present look solemn.

If there were still people who had doubts about Gao Han's coaching ability before, then after the analysis just now, Gao Han introduced his coaching philosophy to everyone without reservation.

Of course, this is only in the overall situation, and the specific details and implementation depend on the individual's different understanding.

As for the serious setback that Gao Han said, that is, when he was still a nobody, he was kicked out of the house by Barcelona, and he was so depressed that he finally had to go to Madrid to coach an amateur team.

That's the China City team.

"It's because of this insecurity that I often wonder what football was like in the past, what is football like now, what about football in the future, and how will it appear?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, including Ferguson and Wenger.

In today's European football, the vast majority of teams are not thinking about the future, even if Gao Han is promoting the football concept in Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich, it is still out of reach for them.

Even the giants coached by famous coaches such as Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Rafael Benitez, Rijkaard and Carlo Ancelotti are still just chasing Gao Han's coaching philosophy and using him as a benchmark to improve their teams.

But in this case, Gao Han has already begun to think about the future of football, how can they not be shocked?

"From my debut to now, I've coached the Four Nations League, La Liga, the Premier League, Serie A and now the Bundesliga, each with its own unique characteristics. ”

"For example, when we think of La Liga, what do we think of?"

Gao Han didn't wait for anyone to answer, he laughed to himself, "Xiao Kuailing and passing the ball? No, that's the trend of the past few years, the turn of the century, and even the last century, the biggest impression of Spanish football is the fierce tackle, right?"

Almost everyone in the room smiled and nodded, even Pep Guardiola.

When many people now mention Pep Guardiola and Redondo, what flashes in their minds is an artist's organizational midfielder.

But in fact, in the 90s of the last century, a big reason why they were able to become the team's trusted single midfielders and succeed in this position was that they were not physically poor and their feet were very dark.

Spain is known as the Latin school of Europe, not only because of their stature and technical characteristics, but also because of their small movements and habit of getting under the black feet.

"What about Italy? When we think of the chain defense, we must think of the chain defense of strict defense, and when we think of England, our first impression is a group of rough brothers, who only know how to do brute, and when we think of Germany, we think of the confrontation of forces. ”

"There is no doubt that these are different styles of football that have been created by the characteristics of different players in different countries over a long period of time, but I don't know if you have noticed that this is changing dramatically from the end of the last century to the present. ”

"Spain are starting to learn from their experience and start to pay attention to their skills and running according to their own characteristics, my good friend AragonΓ©s has started to implement a passing system in the national team, England is no longer a fist, although the overall skill level of their players is still lacking, but the style of play is no longer long passing. ”

"Italy still have a strong focus on defence, but we have to pay attention to the fact that they have a group of managers in their country who are looking for ways to integrate more advanced football concepts into the Italian defence, such as passing, such as active attack. ”

"And Germany, I was surprised to see the change that Jurgen Klinsmann and Loew brought about at the World Cup in Germany, and when I arrived at Bayern Munich, I found that they started to focus on developing the skills and personality of their players since the mid-90s, and they no longer blindly emphasized the whole and the physical. ”

Everyone present was a little surprised to hear this, but they felt that it was very reasonable.

Many times, some small details that they captured on weekdays did not attract their attention, but now that Gao Han said this, they couldn't help but think about it.

"I would say that over the years, European football has changed dramatically, when Italy started to play attack, when Germany started to play passing, when Spain became the epitome of possession, when England started to pursue a fast pace of attack and defence, we found that everything changed. ”

"So, what is causing all this change?"

Gao Han's inquiry also made everyone present look thoughtful.

"Quite simply, integration is the exchange and communication between football in various countries, learning from each other, learning from each other, letting go of each other's pride and prejudices, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, causing the transformation of European football today, and I am convinced that in the foreseeable future, this integration will not only be in Europe, but also throughout the world, and will be deeper and deeper. ”

"Perhaps, in the near future, we will see Italy start to play attacking football, Germany will start to focus on passing and creativity, and England will have to put more technical demands on their players in order to adapt to the fast pace of attack and defence. ”

"In addition to Europe, there are also South America, Africa, and even Asia. ”

Everyone present was dumbfounded, and they were completely shocked by the blueprint that Gao Han had sketched.

They couldn't believe that what Gao Han said would happen, but the problem was that they couldn't even give a reason to refute it.

'It's true for the country and so will for the club. ”

"In my opinion, the future of professional football will go one step further on what it already has, and we will find that the players' solid passing skills have become essential skills to be based in the top league, and we will find that the space on the pitch will be smaller and smaller, the pace will be faster and faster, and it will be not only their physical and technical performance that will determine the performance of the players, but also here. ”

Gao Han raised his right hand and pointed to his temple, indicating that what he was talking about was his brain.

"We will be amazed at how many players are becoming more and more well-rounded, they can pass, they can shoot, they can assist, they can even defend aggressively, and they are also able to adapt to a number of different positions, they can adapt their roles and positioning to the changing situation on the pitch, forward, they can be forwards, they can be playmakers in midfield, they can even drop back to act as defenders for the team. ”

'We're going to find that we can't limit our players with the same tactical framework that we used to, because that would make the team too mechanical to deal with changes and shocks, and we're starting to delegate more power to the players on the pitch and we're starting to encourage them to play freely. ”

"We're starting to focus on passing, but not just in midfield, we're starting to put the backline, the forward line, even our goalkeeper, into our passing, we want to make the whole team a well-organized pass-and-possession system, and even when my goalkeeper comes back with a pass, when the opponent presses, we want him to get past the opponent and then dribble forward and threaten the attack. ”

"We started to change the way we think about defence, because when the space is getting smaller and smaller, we find that the traditional defensive players are able to play less and less of a role, but the technical players who seem weak and unruly on a daily basis are able to organize a tight defensive formation. ”

Gao Han said a lot in one breath, and everyone in front of the podium was dumbfounded.

Among them, there are many famous coaches who have been coaching for many years, and there are also young coaches who are just starting out, but no one expected that as a leader in the tactical reform of European football in the past few years, Gao Han is now thinking about such an advanced concept.

Location blurring?

Is this the pursuit of all-offense and all-defense?

Perhaps, the all-offense and all-defense concept of Cruyff and Michels is no longer suitable for the current football environment, is it that Gao Han wants to create a set of all-attack and all-defense system in line with the modern football concept?

Emphasizing the players' playing intelligence, does that mean that those players who do not have the ability to think and understand will gradually be eliminated by the top leagues in Europe in the future?

Some people support Gao Han's statement, but some people disagree, after all, everyone has a different understanding of football.

However, no one can give a strong rebuttal.

Since Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid, there are almost no such power players with big shoulders and round waists among the players he has reused, even in Inter Milan, the four macho tactics of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Adriano and Yaya Toure are not just empty power.

In fact, each of these four players is singled out individually, and they are definitely the pillars of the major giant teams.

Can such a player have the wisdom to play football?

As for location blurring, that's even less to say.

With Kaka and Figo farther away, and Schweinsteiger closer, Gao Han has been transforming different types of players according to his own tactical needs, and on the basis of retaining the advantages of the original players.

Schweinsteiger, for example, has been quite eye-catching in the midfield position so far this season, and has had a number of long-range shots, and has not given up his advantage by switching to the back.

There are also two full-backs, Marcelo and Lahm, who on a lot of the table are pressed very high and look more like wing-backs or even wingers than full-backs.

Even the two central defenders, Hummels and Lucio, often pressed the midfield to get the ball and pass the ball, and the Brazilian even had a number of cases where he suddenly dribbled forward and rushed to the front to participate in the attack.

If Gao Han is just talking in generalities, but without any actual action, then everyone can spray him with a mouth cannon.

However, Gao Han is not only talking, but also trying to explore, which is quite rare.

Almost all of the top coaches in European football were present, and some of them had their own unique achievements in some aspects, such as Alex Ferguson, who had his own unique way of transforming players and had his own deep understanding of football tactics, which made his Manchester United squad seem to be not strong, but it was very competitive on the pitch.

Therefore, some people will say that Manchester United's lineup is only played by him Ferguson.

If someone else is in charge, it's definitely over.

Then there's Arsene Wenger, who was the first to bring the concept of passing and possession to the Premier League, and he has always been committed to pursuing a pass-and-possession style that suits the Premier League.

And Carlo Ancelotti, and Heynckes, and Pep Guardiola, and ......

But none of them would think so much, so deeply, and so ahead like Gao Han.

Therefore, now that they heard Gao Han's speech, they felt so shocked.
