Chapter 185: I Found It!

"Beep!!"

"Okay, with a whistle from the referee, the first half of the game is over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Atletico Madrid temporarily took a 1-0 lead thanks to a key goal from Torres in the 14th minute. ”

"Real Madrid was not ideal in the whole first half, the whole team was completely out of shape, whether it was the rhythm of the game or the possession, they were completely led by the nose by Atletico Madrid. ”

'We'll now see if Bosque can recalibrate his squad at half-time and get the players in shape. ”

……

In Parma, on the southern Spanish island of Mallorca, Aragonés smiled and shook his head as he sat in his living room and heard the live TV commentator wrapping up the first half.

That's the difference between an insider and a layman.

Even a veteran TV commentator can find it difficult to take on the role of a head coach to analyse the game.

The commentator of Spanish TV believes that Real Madrid fell behind in the first half because the team was not in good shape, which led to Real Madrid's passivity, but in Aragonés's view, this is a reversal of cause and effect.

It is precisely because of the passivity on the field that the players do not play well.

Football is a team sport, focusing on the overall operation, on the field is about the situation, it is impossible for a player to rely on a single game to change the situation of the whole game.

The role of a star, or even a superstar, on the pitch is more about relying on his own ability to create an advantage in a certain local area, and then drive the performance of other teammates around him.

But if you want to completely change the situation of the game by relying on the individual ability of a superstar, it is simply impossible.

It's like Real Madrid in the first half.

The reason for the passivity is that Atletico Madrid completely suppressed Real Madrid on a tactical level.

The high defense of the Sheets, the pressing of the midfield, and the skillful possession of the ball in the midfield all made Real Madrid feel uncomfortable and contained everywhere.

The reason is simple, in order to break Atletico Madrid's possession in the center and back, the team must have a tight defensive position from the front to the back, especially in the midfield, which must be actively involved in defense.

But now, Morientes is a high school striker, moving slowly and not contributing much in defence, and Figo and Zidane are even less active in defending, putting all their energy into attack.

The double back of Makelele and Elgra did not dare to leave their positions easily, which directly led to the fact that Raul was the only one in Real Madrid's midfield who was counter-attacking.

In addition, Atletico Madrid pays attention to skillful passing, creating gaps in the opponent's defense through the active interspersed runs of players, and then creating passing space for teammates and creating local advantages for the team.

In this case, one person grabbing seven people from the other party is simply being slipped and played.

Suffice it to say, Real Madrid will not be able to break Atletico Madrid's possession tactics without the superstars actively engaged in defence.

But on the other hand, when Real Madrid is in possession of the ball, Atletico Madrid's three lines can always be the first to put in the counter-attack, and keep the formation orderly before and after, through this kind of overall operation with full active participation, in the shortest possible time, the ball back into their hands.

What's more, Real Madrid's overall tempo is on the slower side.

This slowness is reflected not only in the individual players, especially the core player Zinedine Zidane, but also in the team as a whole.

Cruyff's criticism of La Liga's swarming implementation of the two-back tactic is something that Aragone agrees with.

He said that while the double midfielders are more solid defensively than the single midfielders, they are less efficient in switching between attack and defence.

This is not a matter of who is right or wrong, but of trade-offs.

La Liga used to be a single midfielder in the 90s, with Pep Guardiola and Redondo being the best of them.

But at the end of the century, especially in the turn of the century, the shortcomings of the single back in defense were gradually exposed.

Needless to say, Pep Guardiola's situation is not much better, Redondo's treatment at Real Madrid is not much better, and if Bosque had not adjusted the team's tactics and changed to a back five last season, he may not have been better than Guardiola.

It can be said that the managers of La Liga at that time were clearly aware of the advantages and disadvantages of single back midfield, so they preferred a more pragmatic double back in the trade-off.

But now, Gao Han has given another idea of playing with a single midfielder.

That is to increase the pressing of the midfield.

It should be said that throughout the first half, Atletico Madrid reflected this idea of Gao Han very well.

What caught Aragonés' eye out the most was the pressing and interspersed running of the Sheets on the pitch.

In this kind of high-level game, the high defense is often very risky, if the midfield cannot be grabbed, it is difficult to defend the backfield, but Atletico Madrid through the compression of three lines, the excellent tactical execution of the players, to ensure the quality of the team's midfield defensive pressure, making it difficult for Real Madrid to control the ball fluently.

In addition, the flexible and tacit positioning of the Sheets players is also particularly impressive.

With this kind of flexible interspersed running, it is easy to mess up Real Madrid's defensive formation.

In this case, it is a difficult problem to keep up or not.

If you don't follow, you have to exchange defensive objects with your teammates, but the football field is changing rapidly, and it is easy to cause leakage when exchanging defensive objects.

Aragonés pondered this, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

At the beginning, he had a very in-depth conversation with Gao Han about these things, but he never imagined that it would be like this on the football field.

The same sentence, the same concept, and even the same set of tactics, after being imagined, processed and designed by different head coaches, are likely to be two completely different ways of playing on the football field.

Aragonés sees the present, and can only say that Atletico Madrid has basically played the concept of alpine.

And it's a football philosophy that's ahead of everyone else.

"It seems that the most likely surprise in La Liga this season is Atletico Madrid!"

Aragonés laughed expectantly.

After speaking, he picked up the phone next to him and pressed a number to call.

"Hey, Angel, I've found it. ”

…………

…………

"Slow, slow, slow, too slow!"

In the home team's locker room at Calderón Stadium, Gao Han was reprimanding his players.

"Slow passing, slow receiving, slower tempo overall!"

The players looked at each other and were all scolded.

Is this still slow?

That's Real Madrid, we're ahead!

"Do you know what our possession was in the first half?"

Some of the players were silent, some shook their heads.

"Fifty-four percent!"

The players were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were eight percentage points higher than Real Madrid.

God, you know, what Real Madrid do best is on the ball.

Who in Europe doesn't know that the Galactic Battleship is known for its skillful ball control and smooth attack like mercury?

Well, now it's eight percentage points behind Atletico Madrid, which is amazing!

But Gao Han's next sentence made all the players unhappy.

"You gave Real Madrid 46 per cent possession, can any of you tell me what's going on?"

The players looked at each other again, in disbelief.

Not satisfied with Real Madrid's possession rate of 46 per cent?

Could it be that according to the boss, you can't give Real Madrid the ball?

That's Real Madrid!

Raul, Figo, Zidane, which one is not a ball control master?

If the Galaxy Battleship can't control the ball, it's even hard not to score!

Torres, who was wearing the captain's armband, gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but was secretly pulled by Villa next to him.

Looking at the past, the gourd baby was gesturing on her naked upper body, and her mouth seemed to say, suit.

Torres was also a shrewd bastard, and it immediately dawned on him.

So that's what happened!

Seeing the players looking at each other, their noses and hearts, and their hearts and minds, I felt bored.

Isn't there a little backbone to stand up and refute two sentences?

These bastards!

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, there's not much time, you focus on two things in the second half!"

As soon as Gao Han's words came out, all the players raised their heads and looked over.

When it's time to be serious, they can still be serious.

"Real Madrid must not be willing to fall behind, after the start of the second half, they will fight back wildly, you have also seen their attacking power, after the start of the second half, we have to first grasp the defense, stabilize the position, understand?"

"Understood!" replied in unison.

"Carlos. Gao Han pointed at Marchena.

The latter immediately straightened his chest and sat up straight.

"You've been warned a couple of times by the referee in the first half, be careful, don't move too much, don't try to get pregnant at every turn. ”

As soon as Gao Han's words came out, the entire locker room couldn't stop laughing.

Marchena was hot-headed in the first half, and the sentence blurted out, who of you else wants to get pregnant, was heard by the players around him, and Gao Han obviously heard it too.

The Spanish centre-back scratched his head in embarrassment and hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, the second thing I want to solemnly emphasize again is what I often remind in my daily training, when we control the ball, we must make more use of the gap behind the opponent, those who do not have the ball should insert more, and the ball carrier should pass more, don't be afraid of mistakes, the ball is lost, just grab it back. ”

"Remember the saying, possession is not the goal, scoring is!"

"Understood!" the players agreed in unison again.

Gao Han glanced at the players in front of him angrily, and scolded in his heart, when did these bastards learn to be so shrewd?

It's done so that people can't find a reason to go crazy.

But when the bell rang for the referee to urge the field, and the players stood up one by one to get ready to play, Torres, who was at the front of the line, suddenly came over.

"Boss, I know a good dry cleaner, it should be clean, do you want me to help you try it?"

In the end, this kid couldn't help laughing, and without waiting for Gao Han to react, he quickly ran away.

The players who followed him also walked in front of Gao Han one after another, grinning.

Dry cleaner?

My suit......

That's ten achievement points!

My heart is like a knife!(To be continued.) )
