Chapter 170: Once Upon a Time in Spain [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Aragonés's question made it difficult for Gao Han to answer for a moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
yes, what do I want to do?
Gao Han asked himself in his heart.
Winning the Spanish Super Cup, leading Atletico Madrid to relegation, or even achieving the best results possible?
But that's the goal, it's the result.
He had to do something to make himself achieve this goal and get this result.
So what is it exactly?
Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know, I'm still groping." ”
Guardiola was stunned for a moment, what is this answer about?
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Aragonés laughed, "Well said, that's right!"
Pep Guardiola is even more strange, what does Zhisuo mean by this?
"People in the world often think that they know very well what they want to do, but in fact, they don't know that everyone, living in this world, is groping, life is like this, football is like this!"
Gao Han and Guardiola glanced at each other, and they both noticed each other's surprise.
Unexpectedly, this grumpy old man still has this chicken soup for the soul.
"I wonder why you would choose to sell Zoran Nigus?"
Aragonés asked a question that many people were puzzled about.
"As far as I know, none of the players you've brought in can take Zoran Nigus's place, right?"
Last season, Aguilera made a cameo appearance in a central midfield role, but more often than not, Zoran Nigus, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna were the standard for Atletico Madrid's back three.
The two players on the left and right are in charge, and Xavi Alonso is in charge of the back-up organization, which is also considered to be the reason for Atletico Madrid's rapid improvement in the second half, but what he didn't expect was that Gao Han actually sold Zoran Nigus, which is strange.
Pep Guardiola also seemed to be interested in the formation and tactics of the team, and immediately looked at Gao Han with concern.
"My idea is to replace Zoran Nigus with Deco. ”
"Deco?" Aragonés was stunned for a moment.
Pep Guardiola was also visibly surprised, "As far as I know, he should play as a striker, right?"
"Yes, but I want him to step back. ”
Aragonesse's eyes lit up, "You have to play possession. ”
"Can you see it?" Gao Han smiled bitterly, this old man's eyesight is really enough to be a thief.
"Tell me what you think. Aragonés urged with interest.
Although Atletico Madrid and Real Mallorca are rivals in the league, there is nothing to hide about tactical play, because once you are on the football field, there are no secrets.
The key to the matchup between the two teams lies in the targeted tactics of the managers of both sides.
In other words, even if Gao Han confesses his own ideas with Aragonnestan now, there is no problem at all, because Mallorca has its own lineup and style of play, and it is impossible to form a new set of tactical play in order to restrain Atletico Madrid, right?
It's simply not realistic!
On the contrary, this kind of open and honest communication between managers is more conducive to each other's progress.
That's what national football associations and professional leagues are all about.
Besides, it's a rare opportunity to ask Aragonés for advice, how could Gao Han miss it in vain?
"First of all, I think that the way of football is to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and the current mainstream style of play is a two-back configuration, and 4231 has almost become the standard, but I personally think that this style of play is not suitable for us at Atletico Madrid. ”
Aragonés nodded, "You don't have wingers. ”
"The main thing is that the wingers are too expensive to afford!" Gao Han smiled bitterly.
Zhisu and Pep Guardiola can't help but wonder, it's really expensive.
Real Betis failed to be promoted this season and planned to sell several players in the team in exchange for a rebuilding fund, but the talented winger Joaquín was directly priced at 30 million euros.
Not to mention Atletico Madrid, even Real Madrid and Barcelona are out of reach.
But in the 4231, the wingers on the two wings are crucial.
For example, Real Madrid have Figo, Savio, Solari and McManaman, Barcelona also have stars such as Overmas, Luis Enrique and Rivaldo, as well as other La Liga teams.
Spain's winger style of play is a major feature.
However, Atletico Madrid's traditional style of play has some similarities and differences with that of other teams in Spain, such as the emphasis on a strong centre-forward, but the winger has never been a strong point for the Sheets.
This is related to Atletico Madrid's consistent insistence on using high defense and advocating the midfield pressing style of play.
"Your idea of possession in midfield is very similar to that of Camacho when he first took charge of the national team. ”
"Camacho?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
This is the current head coach of the Spanish national team, but the results are not very ideal, and the tactics of flying on both wings and playing high are also criticized in Spain.
Aragonés saw that Gao Han and Guardiola were both looking at him, and his four eyes were full of curiosity, which could only be explained.
"Although we have been recognized as a strong team in the past few years, La Liga is also one of the three major leagues in the world, and then with the rise of the Bundesliga, it has become a big four league, but we have always lagged behind other countries on a tactical level. ”
Gao Han and Pep Guardiola listened attentively, and this kind of opportunity is quite rare.
"So, you see, in the 70s, the Netherlands and Germany were invincible, and in the 80s, England was invincible, and there was nothing to do with us in Spain, even if it was the Five Eagles era of Real Madrid, that is, playing tricks at home and going abroad, it still couldn't play. ”
"At that time, everyone in our country was thinking, why?"
Gao Han blurted out and replied: "The characteristics of the players are different. ”
"Yes, our players are generally shorter than other countries and weak physically, but our strength is flexibility and technique, so in the nineties, Cruyff introduced the possession system to Barcelona, which opened the door for all of us. ”
Gao Han and Guardiola glanced at each other and listened more attentively.
"It can be said that in those years, we all generally agreed that the possession style of play was the most suitable for us in Spain, and coupled with the fact that we had a lot of fast and skilled wingers, we quickly developed a style of play that valued passing and cutting coordination, sharing the ball in midfield, and breaking down the bottom of the cross. ”
"But there's also a problem with this style of play, a lot of reliance on a centre-forward, and the fact is that we haven't had a world-class centre-forward for so many years, and the club can rely on foreign players, but not the national team. ”
"Also, this style of play will inevitably lead to our strong attack and weak defense, and our players themselves are not good at fighting, and the defense, especially in the middle of the midfield, is very problematic, so these two sticking points make it difficult for us to make a difference in the tournament. ”
Gao Han had to admit that Aragonés's words were really to the point.
It is clear that the Spanish football community, especially the elite, has long been on the same page.
"With the reform of the club's shareholding system in 92, most La Liga teams have gradually come out of the business predicament, coupled with the foreign aid stimulus brought by the Boseman Act, which has made La Liga more and more prosperous, and the tactical style of play has gradually caught up with other European leagues, so in recent years, the success of Real Madrid and Valencia has come from this. ”
"The two-back style of play brought by foreign coaches such as Cooper has now become the standard for many teams in La Liga, and it has proven to be very much in line with Spanish football, with Valencia's Baraja and Albelda not being the kind of confrontational defensive midfielders, but more of a technical defensive midfielder. ”
But before that, Camacho had done an experiment with the Spanish national team. ”
"Experiment?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
Pep Guardiola seems to be aware, "Luis, you're talking about ......"
Aragonés nodded, but was not in a hurry to speak.
"After Cruyff arrived in Barcelona, there was a lot of great talent there, including Pepe, who despite their amazing achievements at the club, never did as well as they could in the national team, and Pepe even missed the national team for a long time. ”
Guardiola also listened with a gloomy face, and it seems that this is also a regret in his heart.
"It's not because of prejudice, but because the mainstream style of play in the national team at that time was confrontation, just like Clement's national team, playing a four-three-three tactic, with three strikers in front, and in the three midfielders in the back, two wingers took up two positions, and the remaining one in the middle of the midfield, handed over to Pep, okay?"
Gao Han looked at Guardiola and had to admit in his heart that Aragonés was right.
The reason why Guardiola can play as a single midfielder in Barcelona is because of Barcelona's overall possession tactical system, but when it is put in the Spanish national team, it is obvious that it cannot be played.
It's like Real Madrid, Makelle strong, right?
But next to him, Bosque also has to be paired with a full-time defender, Ergra who is a central defender.
Camacho replaced Clemente and took over the national team, he thought about trying to change, he wanted to try to further strengthen the possession like Barcelona, with Pep Guardiola at the heart of the team, with Belleron next to him, the two formed a double midfield, and the two wings were also slightly adjusted, using a traditional winger on the right and reusing Deportivo LaCoruna's wing-forward Forlan on the left. ”
"In the forward line, Urses, who is strong and has excellent header ability, but has solid skills at his feet, partners with Raul to form a double striker to ensure the ability to control the ball and pass with one foot throughout the midfield. ”
"Camacho's adjustment has won him a full house!"
Guardiola also seemed to recall the experience of that year, and nodded with admiration: "Yes, I still remember that in 1999, the national team won eight consecutive victories, and it was like a bamboo!"
"Yes, the first match was in March, in the third round of the European Championship qualifiers, at home to Austria, a hearty 9-0, which shocked the world, and then 6-0 and 9-0 respectively, beating San Marino home and away over two legs, Austria 3-1 away, Cyprus 8-0 at home and Israel 3-0 at home. ”
Aragonés also exuded a look of remembrance.
"Even at the end of the year, when we played Brazil at home with Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, we were able to beat Brazil to the ground with crazy pressing up front and a fluid attacking combination, and although it was 0-0 in the end, it was the best game for the national team. ”
Even after the 0-2 loss to Argentina, although it also exposed a lot of problems, the team's performance is still remarkable, full of hope, especially Luis Enrique, Mendieta, Munitis, Fran, Guerrero, Echeberia, Morientes and other outstanding players, which make the national team appear to be full of talent. ”
Gao Han had been paying attention to the expressions of Aragonés and Guardiola, and although he was just listening, he was still full of amazement.
It stands to reason that such a Spain should be the favorite in Euro 2000, but why did it only reach the quarterfinals in the end?
If it is said that the quarterfinals meet the invincible France and unfortunately lose, it is understandable.
But why has the Spanish national team's style of play changed now? )
