Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Weakness of the Granada Team
Speaking of the lost game, in fact, for the Granada team, there is still a lot to think about. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For example, I really understand my weaknesses.
I have to say that in this game, the Levante team really did a lot of work. The warm-up match before the start of the tournament gave them a lot of reminders to use the mentality of the weak against the strong to develop a strategy against the Granada team.
In this game, Yan Feng's performance was much worse. The data in all aspects is half the difference compared to the previous games.
This situation will occur, except that Yan Feng's competitive state is indeed not as good as before due to physical factors, the main thing is that he has been specifically targeted.
Yes, Yan Feng received the same kind of stalking treatment that only superstars such as Ronaldo and Messi had in the past in this game. Not to mention that there are people who are professionally watching, there are always people who will come over to help defend and fill in the position.
This kind of treatment made Yan Feng uncomfortable half to death, and he really felt that he couldn't afford this kind of treatment.
There will be this kind of treatment, which just shows that he is more and more valued by his opponents, and it also shows that his strength and fame are getting bigger and bigger. Yan Feng didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
Therefore, in this game, Yan Feng was restricted. Although he didn't have no chances, it was a pity that he was not in good shape, and several chances to hit the goal were either missed, or he was too positive and powerful.
After Yan Feng, who was the captain, was restricted, the rest of the Granada team also failed to create too many chances.
Yan Feng's restriction is equivalent to the abolition of one of the most offensive tactics of the Granada team. For some other tactical coordination, in the case of the Levante team always implementing defensive counterattack tactics, there is really no better way.
These problems have led the coaching staff to start thinking about developing new tactics.
It is not the Granada team themselves that has discovered these problems. Modern football is completely transparent, and under all kinds of lenses, no detail can escape the eyes of those who care about it.
The day after the match, a sports columnist named Hughes published an article on the Internet called "Granada Analysis Report".
The first thing to say at the beginning is nothing else, but Granada's head coach Alcaraz. The manager is the mind of a team, and the tactical actions of the team depend entirely on the manager's ideas and commands.
"Alcaraz, an old fritter who has been in the relegation team for a long time. He is good at training weak teams and likes to use defensive counter-attacking tactics. The strategy is conservative, and the game reaction is not fast enough. The team that leads is often lacking in offensive ability. ”
Not to mention, that's pretty accurate. Even Yan Feng felt that the current situation of the Granada team was indeed a little too conservative when he saw this article.
Last season, they were a weak team, and they used the mentality of fighting to fight the opponent in every game. It's the opponents, and they tend to treat them as underdogs. With this in mind, Granada rarely encounters a team that puts on a defensive posture in a game. In this case, the Granada team's defensive counter-attacking tactics can play to their full strength.
In this game against Levante, the opponent was a weaker team to fight Granada. In the face of the opponent's defensive counterattack, the Granada team, which is good at defensive counterattacks, has become very uncomfortable.
In this way, it is normal for Granada to not be able to break through the Levante team's goal.
Next, Hughes analyzed the strength of the Granada team's formation.
"The forward line is the weakest link of the Granada team, the youngster Sandell is not mature enough, and the others do not have the ability to stand out. In the midfield, China is strict at the core, strong defensively, and there are not many changes in attack. The back line is stable and tenacious, and the integrity is good・・・・・・"
"The inverted triangle attack is the most common and threatening tactic for Granada. The center forward Samper is in a straight line with Sandel, and the two flanks are Aslan and Pereira, who are fast and have good breakthrough ability, which are the three offensive lines in the frontcourt. Yan, on the other hand, is mainly active in the middle of these three offensive lines.
After any of these three offensive lines attack forward and suppress the defensive line, you can choose to pass backwards or horizontally to Yan who inserts from behind the two intermediate areas. Everyone should know Yan's long-range shooting ability, which is just the right way to exert his power.
In previous matches, more than 60% of Granada's goals have been scored by long-range shots, supplementary shots, and outflanked crosses brought by this inverted triangle tactic.
Therefore, as long as a free central defender is placed in these two middle areas, after pinching off the point of strictness, the inverted triangle tactic of the Granada team can be cracked. It's Levante that's exactly what it does. ・・・・・・”
"Grip Chao, it seems to be true. After Yan Feng saw this, he had to say that he was really pinched to his lifeline.
After Hughes's analysis report came out, it was directly borrowed by many teams.
It's not that those teams can't analyze these things. Rather, most teams looked at Granada like the media. Tactics developed without paying attention to the idea of being a strong team cannot be completely targeted at the weaknesses of the Granada team.
In fact, last season, there was no shortage of relegation teams such as Osasuna who offered this method, but the Granada team at that time was like a god, and they exploded and even blocked it. That's why the vast majority of teams ignore this.
Now, after a string of unbeaten runs, no one thinks of Granada as the same team they were at the start of last season.
Faced with this situation, the coaching staff of the Granada team began to have headaches. The fact that their signature tactics were seen through, combined with the impact of the loss, made them decide to make a change.
And the change they made was to let Yan Feng take on more defensive tasks, and instead give the task of stepping forward to support the attack to Costa. And Costa and Yan Feng have completely different styles of play, so of course the offensive routine cannot be the same.
So, in the following training, the Granada team made these attempts. Costa and Samper led the attack, adding a lot of short passes and dribbling, and penetrating into the box as the main attacking direction.
Judging from the scene, this has a bit of a sense of flamboyance in the possession. It's just that the speed and pace of advancement are not as fast as before, and the cooperation between players has become a lot more complicated.
For such a tactical arrangement, Yan Feng first felt that his desire to attack forward was suppressed. However, this is mainly to increase the tactical changes of the team's offense, and Yan Feng didn't say anything.
With more changes, whether the new tactics can make up for Granada's weaknesses will have to be tested in the next games.
