Chapter 7 Wang Shuai's Tactical System (2000 words)
In Reif's eyes, Asian football, especially Chinese football, is simply the difference between Keju and modern football compared with England, and even Europe and South America, but the three tactical boards prepared by Wang Shuai were eye-opening for him, and he never thought that the tactics could be so meticulous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For example, the team's previous 4-2-2-2 short pass penetration tactic.
"First of all, the formation, the short pass penetration, as the name suggests, to strengthen the three-line connection, so I don't think the double midfield formation is appropriate. But if you have two forwards, there will be space between the midfield and the back, so what I do is move the two forwards back a little bit and bring the two full-backs and the wing-forwards forward a little bit so that the team has two hexagons. There are also two strikers, and the current arrangement of the team is a shadow striker and a center forward, which is somewhat similar to the 4-5-1 strategy, although the midfield is tight enough, but it can also cause a lack of attack. My opinion is to simply put two shadow strikers on the pitch, and they can switch between the midfielders and the center at any time, so that the arrangement is guaranteed for both organization and attack.
Then there are the players, since the tactics have been determined to be short pass penetration, so the wide players do not need to have too high speed, the key is to have a high pass success rate and be able to protect the ball. In this case, the current two full-backs Laurie and Lorenz are not suitable for the starting line-up, and I think we can use two central midfielders at the same time, or even put the current two forwards in the full-back position, and then arrange two midfielders to act as central midfielders, so that the passing problem is solved and the team's defensive ability can also be improved.
Finally, there are the tasks of the players, which are more complicated. I have a couple of local tactics here, and in different local tactics, each player's task is different.
For example, this 'M' formation, this tactic only needs five midfielders, so the two midfielders only need one to participate in the attack, the role of this formation is to control the ball and advance, the midfielder is the core, the full-back is closer to the middle, responsible for the response between the midfielder, and the two forwards do not need to be too forward, in case the midfield connection is not tight enough, the main point of this formation is to maintain the formation, not to pursue the speed of advancement, only to control the ball.
There is also this reverse arc formation, which is a variation of the 'M' formation, which puts the position of the two full-backs to the position of the winger, which is an offensive tactic that is usually used after controlling the ball to the front court......
Then there's the arc, which is a six-man tactic where both central midfielders need to be involved, and it's also a possession tactic......
This is an umbrella formation, and it is also a six-man tactic......
And this ......"
It's just a 4-2-2-2 formation, and Wang Shuai told Leif for more than an hour, but this is the reason why Leif doesn't understand Wang Shuai's micro-tactics, so for the first tactical board, Leif has relatively more questions.
However, even if the speed of the explanation in the back was much faster, it took about two and a half hours when Wang Shuai finished speaking.
"That's it for this defensive formation."
The more than two hours of explanation opened Leif's eyes. England, or Europe and South America's tactics, also have similar local tactics, but just like Huaxia's current local tactics, their tactics are small tactics of three or four people, and there is not much room for display, but their local tactics have been used for many years, so they are much more skilled than Huaxia's tactics.
Wang Shuai's local tactics are at least composed of four people in a formation, such tactics really combine the local and the whole, whether it is offensive or defensive, can maximize the strength of each player, and there will be no situation where several players attack and others watch.
However, there is a problem with such tactics, that is, the arrangement is too detailed, and it takes a lot of time for players to really use these tactics proficiently, and even switch between formations. It's just that for Aston Villa, who only completed the relegation target last season, their goals for this season will never be too high, which means they have plenty of time to familiarise themselves with these tactics without worrying about the team's results. What's more, in Leif's view, Wang Shuai's tactics, as long as one of them can be skillfully used, it is enough to improve the team's strength to a higher level.
After listening to Wang Shuai's explanation, Leif pondered for a moment and asked a crucial question.
"Wang, which tactic do you think is the most suitable for Vera?"
"None of them fit!"
"Huh?" Leif was stunned, he really didn't expect Wang Shuai's answer to be this, since it's not suitable for you to tell me anything?! However, in view of Wang Shuai's amazing explanation just now, Leif couldn't help but ask again: "Why do you say that?" ”
'Because the problem with the team now is not tactics at all, it's mentality.
"Well, go ahead."
"There is a team in Huaxia called Yangcheng Hengyuan, I don't know if Coach Leif has heard of it."
"They won seven consecutive championships in the Chinese Super League in the past few years, of course, the level of the Chinese Super League is not comparable to the Premier League, or even the English Championship, but I have to say that in Asia, the level of the Chinese Super League is absolutely top, and in such a league to win seven consecutive championships, Coach Leif should know how remarkable this achievement is."
"Well, that's true, and then what?"
"Then in the eighth year, Hengyuan was blocked by us in all directions. The league, the domestic cup, the AFC Champions League, they all finished second and the championship was ours. That's not the point, the point is that in the domestic cup and AFC Champions League finals, they had every chance to beat us to win the title, but they didn't do it because their mentality was wrong.
While Hengyuan won the glory of seven consecutive championships, it also left a bane for themselves, that is, they have lost the motivation to fight, and they no longer regard the championship as an honor, because they are used to it. Coach Reif must know very well that a team without fighting spirit will definitely not be the opponent of another team of the same strength.
Aston Villa are the same now, but not far from it. Hengyuan is because he has stood at the top for too long, and Vera has been sinking for too long. First relegation, and then the ups and downs of the Championship with no hope of surpassing the Championship, this situation has made the Villa players ignore that they are the oldest team in England and ignore their former glory. With such a mentality, it is not difficult to understand why Villa almost fell to League One last season. There is a saying in Huaxia that describes it very appropriately, which is called breaking the jar and breaking it. (To be continued.) )
