Chapter 179: Bus Tactics

From the start of the game, Cesena continued the style of the previous season-start away game against Palermo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Palermo, who are playing away, have changed their style of play, and they have adopted a conservative style of play, which is also known as the "bus tactic".

The so-called "bus tactics" make most of the players shrink into their own penalty areas, and the midfield is placed with two black and hard (the representatives of the peak are Essien, Mikel), and even the striker with a single arrow must choose a defender attribute (Torres), so that you can retreat and defend, and you can also ....... Guard.

Classic battle: 2010 Champions League semi-finals, Inter vs Barcelona second leg

In this game, Mourini led Inter Milan faced the favorite Barcelona, although the first leg won 3-1 at home, but Uncle Bird still resolutely, resolutely and without hesitation to sacrifice his own created and extreme bus tactics, adhere to the principle of three representatives (their own small penalty area, their own penalty area, and the opponent's bottom line) to dominate the game. In the end, Barcelona was eliminated by Mourinho's bus with an aggregate score of 2-3, no, it was Inter Milan who were eliminated.

Obviously, Palermo coach Evaldini is not sure to win away at leaders Cesena, so let's be realistic and aim for a draw.

However, Balardini's choice of the bus tactic is actually risky, because not all teams can use the "bus tactic" in any game, and sometimes, it may even shoot themselves in the foot.

Moreover, since the advent of the "bus tactic", there have been people studying and trying to crack him, and some of these methods are still relatively reliable.

Swinging the bus is a very exhausting behavior, the defender is always in a state of high concentration and even nervousness, and the overall formation needs to be constantly adjusted according to the attacker's attack point during the defensive process. People are not saints, there are always loopholes, you have to believe that the bus also has a time to open - don't hurry up and take a wave! This is the first plan, smashing the pass + long shot. Mobilize the center of gravity of the defense by smashing the pass, pull out the hole, and use the long-range shot to score.

2. But after all, the success rate of long-range shooting is not reliable enough, what better way is there? Play crosses, but only if you need a strong Drogba-style centre-forward and there is nothing to compete with. If the opponent is a tall central defender, then forget it...... In fact, among the various means of organizing the attack, the efficiency of the cross from the wings is relatively low (probably the lowest...... But the purpose of playing crosses is not to expect to rely on the high school striker to break the goal, but more importantly, to create chaos in the penalty area, there are many people with mixed legs, God knows what will happen, and the goal will be scored by accident~

3. Speaking of which, it is necessary to put forward an argument that the nemesis of the bus should be a power-based play, not a technical (such as Barcelona's dog-walking style of play) or a speed-type play.

The focus of technical play is to use high-precision passing and receiving to mobilize the opponent's defense, so as to break up the opponent's formation and make it appear large holes and spaces. But the bus doesn't care at all, you control you, I just don't bird you~ I won't come to grab your ball, and you don't expect to come in.

The speed-based style of play is to mobilize the center of gravity of the defense through the overall speed advantage or individual burst point, so as to break or divert to create opportunities. But to get up or rush is very dependent on space, how do you accelerate in the face of a wall? How?

And the power type of play is not so dependent on space, with power to push the defense inward, if you don't increase the defensive force, I squeeze in, if you increase the defensive force, I transfer to another muscle stick...... Smash your bus with a hammer.

4. For buses that have no psychological advantage (strong teams want face), there is also a tactic to swing, or let the opponent attack, break up the opponent's defense line, and mobilize the space to enter the heart and win. One way I can think of is the playmaker moving back – from the midfielders to the midfielders and then to the ball-outing defenders. Pep Guardiola's tactical evolution seems to mean something like this, moving the organisers back and organising attacks from the rear to lure the enemy deeper. (Mourinho's tactical evolution, on the other hand, is one of a constant shift in defensive pressing, from the backfield bus to the midfield strangulation to a defensive midfielder like Oscar).

The most distinctive feature of bus tactics is its closure of space, and the elements of football only lie in people, balls, and space, which also makes it inevitable to become a pole of tactics. I have to say that this is definitely a great tactic, even if there are many people who say it's ugly and say it's anti-football.

For Cesena, or rather, for Chen Long on the field, it is obvious that when Palermo sacrificed the "bus tactics", they understood, and they also understood the "bus tactics"!

"These guys actually used the "bus tactic", which is too boring"

As the captain on the field, after Palermo sacrificed the bus tactic, Chen Long moved his position and gradually played with Zou Zhaolong, the core of the midfield.

"How? Find a way to get them, today's game, you must not just draw them like this! Zou Zhaolong said!

"Do it!"

"Number one, our big four strikers take turns attacking their backline and draining their stamina, so I don't believe there is no disconnect in their defense."

"Second, focus on you and me, and add some long-range shots on the edge of the penalty area."

"Thirdly, the crosses, I was in charge of receiving them, telling Rosit and Misic to send a lot of the ball to the middle"

Chen Long obviously had an in-depth understanding of bus tactics, and he and Zou Zhaolong immediately made up their minds!

"Look, Cesena has changed formation, O, my God, their four frontcourt players, almost a line, straight into the Palermo half, speed, yes speed, Cesena obviously intends to use the speed advantage to drag down Palermo, you know, the four frontcourt players on the field of Cesena all have good speed, especially Chen Long, his speed is terrifying"

It's a tough time for Palermo, and although they have come up with the bus tactics, which is a relatively smooth way of playing, it seems that Chen Long, the captain on the field, is very competent, and they seem to have found some ways to crack the bus tactics, and they are practicing them!

"Cracking the bus tactics, it doesn't seem to be too difficult for this Cesena team, because they have Chen Long, Chen Long's characteristics show that he can have terrifying speed, and at the same time, he belongs to the kind of strong high peak that exhausts Drogba, Balardini is not unaware of this, but for Chen Long, he has almost no way, in fact, not only him, many head coaches have nothing to do with Chen Long."
