Chapter 753: Gao Han's Pursuit
Creativity, as interpreted on Wikipedia, is the creation of something new and valuable.
It's a term that has been widely used in media reports and fan conversations, but so far, no one has been able to give a simple summary of the term, which makes it seem so vague.
It could be a good ball, an unconventional dribble, or an unbelievable goal......
All of this can easily be understood as creativity.
Known as the most creative master of comedy in British history, John Chris once said: "Creativity is inexplicable, it is completely ineffable, it is not a talent, but a way of acting." ”
John Criss believes that creativity is inherent in everyone, but the degree of excavation and choice are different.
In recent years, a number of players from across the continent, including Andreas Pire, Bergkamp, Cesc Fabregas and Mikel Arteta, have injected a refreshing amount of creativity into the Premier League, acting like elves on the pitch, weaving between opposition defences and creating panic and chaos.
They are either adept at confusing defenders and luring them out of their defensive positions to take advantage of them, leaving large gaps behind them that can be exploited by their own attacking players, or they are adept at seizing fleeting opportunities and slicing through opposition defences with scalpel-like precision to create lethal kills.
A lot of people say it's a gift, but is that really the case?
If, after Bergkamp took the ball to attract the opposing defender to steal, he failed to protect the ball, resulting in the ball being broken and the opponent scoring the goal through the counter-attack, is Bergkamp's action creative?
If Cesc Fabregas is keen to seize the opportunity, but passes the ball in front of the opposing defender, or if he passes the ball out of the line with a big kick, causing his team-mate to run out of the gap to no avail, is Fabregas's action still creative?
It's clear that the creativity that both Bergkamp and Cesc Fabregas show on the pitch is not a talent that is unique to them, but a universal one, but they have a better individual ability than everyone else, and this ability makes them more accurate on the pitch.
Yes, precisely.
Bergkamp was able to accurately anticipate the defender's up-and-go and rely on his feet to get away from the opposition with precision and accurately pass the ball to team-mates who were inserted into the gap, while Cesc Fabregas was able to use his delicate footwork to get the ball exactly where he wanted it to go, after catching the killer with his keen eye.
That's why John Criss said, "It's easy to tell people how to be more creative, but it's hardest to do." ”
……
After Brian Kidd heard Gao Han's words, all the above thoughts instantly appeared in his mind.
He suddenly understood what Gao Han meant.
is also playing a back three, why is Hoddle's Chelsea team in a quagmire and unable to move an inch, but Evans' Liverpool can soar and shine?
The reason is simple, Evans' Liverpool team is full of very technical players such as McManaman, Collymore and Redknapp, who play some of the most hearty technical football in the Premier League, and they are known as one of the most flashy and creative teams in the history of the Premier League, with a level of precision that no other team can achieve.
The reason why Ferguson's 92 class was able to dominate the Premier League is precisely because of their precision, and the decline in previous years is precisely because of the departure of David Beckham and Keane, and the aging of players such as Ryan Giggs and Scholes, which makes it difficult for Manchester United to maintain the precision of their peak, and their mistakes start to increase.
Brian Kidd suddenly felt that he understood what Gao Han meant.
But when he thought about it deeper, he couldn't help but be even more surprised, and even had a creepy feeling.
Gao Han's pursuit is a higher level of precision than the league rivals, running, passing and receiving, and spacing...... and other all-round precision, and while pursuing precision, he adopts a three-four-three formation style of play.
At present, the mainstream of European football is the four-three-three formation, the advantages of this formation are obvious, the three lines are more compact, the arrangement of the three midfielders is more reasonable, the attack is more layered, the use of the wing is more efficient, and at the same time gives the attacking players more freedom to play.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the position of the three attacking players in the front court is relatively fixed, relying too much on the individual ability of the players, one-on-one breakthrough to create a threat, once encountering a careful defense, the offensive threat is greatly reduced.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the four-three-three formation has high requirements for the individual ability of the players, and it is not something that ordinary teams can use, so it is more of a standard configuration for giant teams or strong teams.
What about the three-four-three formation?
Everyone agrees that the three-four-three formation is the one with the highest utilization of space on the pitch among all tactical formations, and after combining the players' off-ball running, this set of formations has considerable tactical flexibility, both width and depth can maintain close contact.
But more importantly, it's a very attacking formation.
Judging from the current recruitment of Manchester City, there is no doubt that Gao Han's trusted attacking combination in the front court is Cristiano Ronaldo on the left, Benzema in the middle, Sanchez on the right, and Kaka in the forward position.
These four players are definitely carefully selected by Gao Han, and they are by no means on a whim, or blindly pursuing superstars.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo is a left winger, he is already the sharpest scorer in European football now, and his threat on the left side is quite amazing, and it can even be said that he can't defend it, whether it is a personal breakthrough with the ball or a score, he can be called the top in Europe.
Benzema is a striker, fast, delicate on his feet, excellent physical, characterized by a well-rounded characteristic, with excellent left and right feet and headers, which allows him to play a variety of roles up front, such as carrying the ball with his back, fighting for the first spot, or pulling up the wing, creating opportunities for his teammates, etc.
As for Sanchez, he is the best wide attacker in Serie A, and Gao Han uses him obviously to threaten from the wings.
If these four players form a front-court offensive combination, as long as Gao Han is well combined, the offensive means will be very rich and diverse, and it will definitely make the opponent unguardable.
David Silva and Luka Modric in midfield are both very good at organising passes and assists, Xavi Alonso is one of the best midfielders in football today, and all three must play the main team, and if the three players form a midfield, the ability to create chances and advance the ball is not a problem at all, but the defense may be a big hidden danger.
But when he thought of this, Brian Kidd was strange again.
What are Xavi Martinez and Mascherano going to do?
Both players have spent a lot of money, and there is no reason to buy them as substitutes.
Is it to prepare for the double back?
But when Brian Kidd threw out his doubts, Gao Han laughed.
"You're wrong, Brian. ”
I was wrong?
Brian Kidd was even more puzzling.
'Javi Martinez is a player I've admired early on, but I've always thought he shouldn't be in midfield because he's going to have a limited development in midfield, but if he's at the back, he's going to be a manager at the back, a libero like Summerer and Beckenbauer. ”
'He's got a great dribble and a great passing, a good reading of the game, a good run, and a ferocious pressing, so I think he should be at the back. ”
Everyone present was a little surprised, they didn't expect Gao Han to value a young midfielder at Athletic Bilbao so much, that Javi Martinez is really as strong as Gao Han said?
Or does he really have the potential to be a player of the kind of Sammer and Beckenbauer?
But Gao Han obviously does not intend to continue to delve into this issue, because he has his own set of ideas, and he is convinced that he will never be wrong with his sharp eyes, and Xavi Martinez is definitely capable of becoming the defensive commander of his team.
Of course, the premise is that he can play at a high level.
"My idea is simple, the team's attack starts from the backline, and the players in the back line and in the midfield have excellent ability to carry the ball and play the ball, so that the team can pass the ball in the midfield, even if the opponent wants to press, we are not afraid. ”
With superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka in front of him, even if the opponent wants to press, he can't invest much troops, and with Gao Han's current squad configuration, I am afraid it will be difficult for any team to grab possession of Manchester City.
"Of the three centre-backs, the man in the middle has to be tactically focused, able to find the right position accurately at all times, and direct the line to move up and down, left and right, while the two centre-backs on the left and right have to be fast, have excellent tackling ability, be aggressive, and even play the role of full-back if necessary. ”
"And our midfielders have to be both offensive and defensive, not only to be able to organise and pass, but also to be able to intercept and press, to form a barrier when defending, to be able to play to the advantage of playmaking and passing when attacking, and even to insert to support the front court when necessary. ”
According to Gao Han's position map, his midfield is a diamond-shaped position, without the role of full-back, Xavi Alonso is behind, Kaka is in front, this is basically no suspense, as for the two central roles, it should be David Silva and Modric.
These two players are more flexible and can even be pulled to the wings, which can be said to be the team's attacking duo.
With the midfielders firmly in possession of the ball, the four players in the front court must make full use of various methods such as pulling sides, retreating, and inserting, cross-switching, and taking turns to impact the opponent's penalty area and create a threat.
After listening to Gao Han's analysis, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because according to Gao Han, Manchester City's passing and control advantage will be more obvious, and there will be more firepower points when attacking, no matter what kind of opponent it faces, it can play hearty offensive football.
But there are no perfect tactics and no perfect players.
The three-four-three formation adopted by Gao Han, whether it is the style of play or the concept, is indeed trying to change, and it is very advanced, but the question is, can the players execute in place? Is there really no problem with defense?
This is an answer that will definitely not be available in a short period of time, because it will have to be tested in the game, especially in the real Premier League, and let the likes of Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Benitez test it and dig up the loopholes and flaws in this style of play.
But one thing is very certain for everyone present.
That is, Gao Han coached Manchester City by no means for money.
Because if he is just for money, he can use a more relaxed and comfortable way, and at the same time a more secure and secure way, with the tactical play he is used to and good at, with Manchester City's financial resources, the attraction of the cold, he can definitely build an outstanding strong team and defeat all opponents.
But he didn't.
It's because he still has pursuits.
