Volume 3 Chapter 90 The Path of the False Nine
"Interspersed with runs, don't be too impatient with passing, Donetsk has clearly arranged the counter-attacking routine, we made a bit of a mistake in the first half", Spalletti urgently arranged the tactics of the second half in the dressing room, slightly impatient.
The Liverpool players were a little out of breath as they sorted out their gear and drank sports drinks while listening to his lectures.
Spalletti is the type of coach who trains more than directs on the spot, a bit like the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Claudio Ranieri, who are good at building teams and building tactics.
Over time, they were able to make sure that the team was what they were good at and that they were able to play on the pitch, but the downside was the lack of change on the pitch.
Pep Guardiola is also of this type, but he has a good fortune and later met Antonio Conte in his first year in the Premier League, and the popularity of a back three wing-backs inadvertently opened a new chapter for him.
He also hopes that the players will be able to play the content of the training, but this is not something that can be done in a short period of time.
Having said that in the past 11 years, the UEFA Cup winners have won seven times, and they really don't have an advantage in terms of historical data, which naturally stimulates Shakhtar Donetsk, who are now in very good form.
The old coach Lucescu said excitedly: "The Champions League is not good, is it? They are nowhere near as strong as they think."
He waved his hand vigorously, "Kill them!" ”
"Kill them", the Donetsk players roared out of the dressing room and pulled the Champions League champions off the horse, which must have been exciting.
Louis II's stadium was very narrow, because Monaco had a limited land area, and they even built the parking lot under the lawn, and they had to find a way to do it vertically.
Mackin and Fernandinho glared at each other almost shoulder to shoulder, and they did not deal much in the first half.
Countless people want to use their established superstars as a stepping stone, and if it is reported in the newspapers after the game that Fernandinho won the UEFA Super Cup against Marc, it will surely make him famous.
Because he is also playing as a forward midfielder, don't be surprised, he was an offensive player when he debuted, and too many attacking players in Brazil have no chance to change to defense.
"We walked through the storm ...... hand in hand", the stadium was so loud that even though the Reds fans only came in a few thousand people, the singing could still be heard the moment Mack Qin stepped onto the pitch.
He turned to the stands and patted the team badge on his chest, he couldn't say why, he just felt that he needed to vent his passion, "roar", and a fierce response immediately sounded in the half of the stands.
Glory only means the past, and every game is new.
"The second half began, Shakhtar Donetsk in white jerseys attacked first, and Liverpool had a slight advantage in the first half, but neither side was able to score," Zhan Jun's voice remembered again.
"Liverpool is still a problem with the front, Iaquinta and Kuyt rotate to play the center, the effect is very average, where is the best time for Spalletti's tactics to play, Roma, at that time the front line was Totti, these two, hehe, almost", Zhang Lu analyzed.
As he was talking, Iaquinta received a direct push from Mackin, he leaned on Chigrinski with his back, and wanted to wait for Macqin to come up and do a bit of cooperation against the wall, but Xubuschman came up very fast, and he and Gay's two backs basically did not participate in the attack.
Iaquinta struggled to squeeze out a bit of space, and just as she tried to pass the ball, she was destroyed by one foot, and the ball stumbled out.
As soon as he saw it, he immediately changed direction, stabbed the ball away before Schübschmann could turn to tackle, and then quickly passed it to Vučinić, because the bag had already come up.
Zhang Lu shook his head, and then said: "This is the biggest problem of Liverpool's forward line now, when Torres is here, Liverpool's trident is all sports battles"
"Eh, yes, don't look at Torres' physical confrontation, but the running pass can attract the bag," Zhan added.
"Now Iaquinta is like a center forward," Zhang Lu nodded and continued, "Although he is very diligent, like Kuyt, he can't tear up the defense, and his ability to play the ball is average."
Mackin is also aware of this problem through these games, but now is not the time to think about it, so he tries to run to the left to organize.
Vucinic, who won the ball, pressed the ball towards the penalty area, Srna firmly guarded the inside line to defend him, if it wasn't for Srna not leaving at all, it is estimated that it will become the target of many giants.
Defensively solid and with winger attributes, he definitely belongs to the top right-backs, and Vucinic doesn't take advantage of him.
Maxwell's crazy sidelines, this Brazilian star is not only shorter than Enrique, but also has a good attack and defense, otherwise Barcelona would not fancy him, but Enrique, who won the Champions League, is more in line with their transfer strategy and is younger.
"Maxwell, fast, Mackin's through pass, beautiful, cross from the wing, Iaquinta, header ......", shouted Zhan Jun as Liverpool finally made a threatening attack.
"Oh ......", as Pyatov steadily pressed the ball under him, there was an exclamation from the stands.
"Come on, guys, get excited," Makqin clapped in the face to encourage the attack.
"Isi, Isi", the old coach Lucescu immediately shouted from the sidelines, "Keep up, keep up", it was naturally Maxwell, and just now Isirao was thrown away with speed.
Shakhtar Donetsk stepped up significantly in the second half, with Willian fresh out of Europe but already starting to make his mark, with his combination with the core Fernandinho being their main weapon.
Fernandinho's main role is to pivot, similar to Butskec, but he is more flexible, defensively better, faster, and although he is not tall, he is not weak in headers.
This attack was a combination of the two, and after dodging Gerrard's counter-attack, Willian quickly pushed to the back striker Adriano (not Inter), and then quickly followed.
"William, hit the wall, Cahill is leaned, Caguerra puts the tackle, William, cross-toddle, long-range ......"
The ball flew between Cahill and Carragher's legs and went straight to the goal, but Reyna reacted quickly enough to make a side pounce to block the ball that went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.
"God pounced", Zhan Jun immediately shouted, "Reina's save is very crucial, and this ball is very threatening."
Spalletti chuckled in his heart, startled, saw that the ball didn't go in, took a deep breath, and then turned to look at the bench, he had to make a substitution, and he couldn't play like this.
He waved Owen to warm up, and then looked at his watch, it had been more than sixty minutes, and the corner kick in Donetsk was headed off by Chiglinski.
At dead time, the fourth referee on the sidelines raised the substitution card.
"Oh? Liverpool made the first substitution, Owen replaced Iaquinta, which was the first time Owen played in an official match since returning to Liverpool," said Zhan Jun.
But no one expected that only three minutes later, Owen received a direct pass from Mack Qin, and the first time he touched the ball, he was shoveled off the field by Xu Buschman, who returned to the defense!
"Oh my God, Owen just went up", Zhan Jun said unexpectedly, "It seems that he was shoveled to the bare feet just now"
"This matter", Zhang Lu also shook his head, "Owen looks in pain, I don't know if this game can still last"
The answer is, no!
Spalletti almost kicked the mineral water bottle when he saw the substitution gesture made by the team doctor, substitution, substitution, I just changed.
He glanced back at the bench and couldn't make up his mind for a moment, Valle was too young and he was playing on the wing.
"Chief", at this moment, a voice came from behind him, and he turned his head to see that it was Mackqin.
"Why did you come down, wouldn't you be injured too?" asked Spalletti with a worried look on his face.
"No", Makqin shook his head, "Change to a midfielder, I'll play center, haven't you also played 460 in Rome, I play the role of Totti"
"Huh?" , Spalletti didn't react for a while, playing fake nine? Don't want a center striker?
"Or do you still have a center under you?"
"Huh? Mack Qin ran to the sidelines and Spalletti was talking about something, and the referee was signaling Liverpool to make a substitution as soon as possible, what did they say? Zhan Jun asked.
"It should be exchanging tactics, what ideas Macqin may have, we all know that he has a lot of ideas on the field," Zhang Lu said.
Spalletti looked at Lucas who ran onto the field and said to himself, "Don't I have a serious striker in my tactics?"
He seemed to see 460 ...... in Rome
Mackin and Lucas ran back to the pitch and hurried to explain the tactical changes to Gerrard and Vučić.
"Hey, Liverpool replaced Owen with Lucas, who is going to play the centre, Kuyt is going to go over, and then Gerrard is playing on the right?" , Zhan Jun asked.
When they saw Makqin standing alone in the front line, the two of them were all Spartan.
"Hey, it's not Makqin who plays the center", Zhang Lu said unexpectedly, "He played nine and a half under Benitez, but he is the core of the midfield organization, he is gone, who organizes the midfield now?" ”
Zhan Jun also shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand.
It's normal not to understand, 460 is an unconventional tactic, because if you don't have a strong personal ability to be a forward hub, the offense will be extremely difficult.
Because this is a retreating center, that is, the tactic of the false nine is both the core of the organization and the core of the attack.
As the saying goes, it's star tactics, relying entirely on this absolute core of personal ability to revitalize the offense, and the NBA's famous triangle offense, which is the superstar X**D tactic!
The success of this tactic lies in three aspects:
One is that there is no striker, the only center is still a pseudo-center, and he will retreat to the front waistline to get the ball, do you have a defender to follow?
The second is to bloom at more points, around this pseudo-No. 9 core, the midfield side can form an attack group of at least 6-7 people, and frantically move forward.
The third is to dare to play this tactic, that pseudo-center is definitely a superstar, and he has to be a comprehensive superstar, who can pass and shoot, and will provide infinite possibilities at the top of the arc of the penalty area.
With a thunderstorm that shook the sky, there is a place in the world!
If Ronaldo hadn't been transformed into an in-cut winger by Lord Frofer, and then completely transformed into a mobile centre-forward by Jose Mourinho, would he have had a future path?
If Messi was just fixed on the right winger, instead of letting Guardiola send away all the centre-forwards who dared to occupy the box, would he still be the same Messi?
If Mark only plays as a playmaker midfielder, no matter how good his back-up is, he can't score 30 goals in a season, he's a midfield superstar at best.
The clock ticked forward, fate toggled his hands as promised, and a generation of legends returned to its place!
The tactic of the false nine has appeared in the 30s of the last century, but with the change of football tactics, it has disappeared into the long history because this position is too difficult to play.
Personal ability, organizational ability, and tactical ability are all indispensable!
Even in previous lives, there were only a few outstanding players who could play this tactic, Messi and Firmino.
Totti is actually more of a nine-and-a-half, as he has a small range of motion and rarely goes wide, which greatly limits his power.
Makqin, who debuted on the wing, played nine and a half times, and played the core of the midfield, finally found the home where he can really fully realize his potential inadvertently.
At this time, the pseudo-nine has long been annihilated in the long river of history, and Messi has not officially moved inward, and this long-lost tactic will be extremely bright with the arrival of Makqin......
