After another half a month passed, the time came to the beginning of August. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past month and a half, Ribery's affairs have finally turned into a small episode, and Aston Villa's main rhythm is still training new tactics.

Yes, not for the new players to hone in the tactics, but for all the players to train the new tactics.

In the last season, Wang Shuai did not use any tactics against these teams in the Championship, because as long as the strength of the team is placed there, it is enough to form a crush, which is also known as a force to ten meetings. Therefore, in many league games, Wang Shuai simply regarded these games as tactical training, and the content of the training was to deal with the Premier League teams to be encountered in the cup.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea, only these four teams really posed a threat to Aston Villa last season. In these four games, Wang Shuai has been using pure defensive counterattack tactics, and has also achieved good results. With three wins and one defeat, the defeat to Chelsea was still lost on penalties, while in regulation time, Villa drew 2-2 with Chelsea.

But as I said before, the reason why the results of these four games are more outstanding is because of Wang Shuai's good luck. This tactic of putting all your energy on defense, being able to hold on to the goal for 90 minutes, and still being able to find the opponent's loopholes to complete the goal, is really something that is hard to come by.

Therefore, after returning from China, Wang Shuai improved the existing tactics. It is certainly not possible to rely only on defense, and it is certainly not possible to rely only on the midfield organization that you are good at, after all, the team has introduced mostly young players this season, and the real book strength has not increased much, and Villa is still in a weak position when facing strong teams in the Premier League.

As a result, Wang Shuai integrated the previous ball-control tactics and defensive counterattack tactics together, more precisely, the three major aspects of offense, organization and defense, all of which were blended together, which was also Wang Shuai's biggest achievement in more than a month.

Wang Shuai's idea is very simple, he can also attack when the opponent is in possession of the ball, and he can also defend when he is in possession of the ball, and the midfield organization is the key to harmonizing offense and defense.

In the thinking of ordinary people, defense is simply to snatch the ball from the opponent, but Wang Shuai doesn't think so. What is the essence of defense? It's to prevent the opposition from scoring, which is the ultimate goal of defense. So when defending, why do you have to wait for the opponent to get the ball? Can't you just keep the ball from the opponent? This is what Wang Shuai thinks, defending in possession.

It's the same with offense. The ultimate goal of the offense is to score a goal, and the premise of scoring a goal is to control the ball, so the first step of the offense is to grab the opponent's ball, that is, to attack in the opponent's possession.

At the same time, attacking in defense can also achieve the purpose of defense, and vice versa. Whether it is offense or defense, the most important thing is the control of the ball, which is also the effect of Wang Shuai after integrating the ball control tactics.

This new tactic integrating offense, organization and defense, Wang Shuai named it Total-Football-based-onBall-Possession, which translates into Chinese as "ball-based all-attack and all-defense tactics", referred to as TF-BP.

Although it is named "all-offense and all-defense", Wang Shuai knows that there is still a certain difference between his tactics and the classic all-attack and all-defense tactics.

The classic all-offense and all-defense tactic means that ten players, except for the goalkeeper, can carry out offensive or defensive accusations. And these ten players, their positions on the field are fluid, and they perform different tasks in different positions. For example, as the formation flows, the striker moves to the defender's position, then the striker has to perform the defender's task. The reverse is also true, when the defender reaches the forward position, he also has to perform the task of the striker. The biggest feature of this tactic is that it breaks the constraints of the formation on the players. In Wang Shuai's original world, this tactic has also been hailed as the third revolution in football history.

But there is also a considerable problem with the classic all-attack and all-defense tactics, that is, the players are in positions that they are not good at, and obviously cannot play their full strength. Therefore, when this tactic is implemented, the requirements for players are also very high, and the current Aston Villa obviously cannot meet this requirement.

Therefore, Wang Shuai improved this tactic, canceling the flow of players in their positions, and instead allowing them to perform different tasks in their respective positions, which is now the TF-BP tactic.

……

On August 9, four days before the first Premier League game of the 2021-22 season, Wang arranged a warm-up match for his team, against one of the top four teams in last season's Carabao Cup, beating Arsenal's Southampton.

Southampton are an established team in the Premier League, but their results have not been satisfactory, and they have always hovered in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It was only in recent years that Southampton began to improve, rising in the rankings each year, finishing ninth last year.

Southampton were also very happy after learning that Aston Villa were going to play a warm-up match against them. After losing 5-0 to Villa over two legs last year, Southampton knew the opponent was better than them. However, Southampton have also strengthened their squad in the summer off-season, and they also believe that they are not much worse than Villa at the moment. And it would be fitting to have a warm-up game with Villa before the start of the season.

In the 45 minutes of the first half of the game, Wang Shuai did not play, but as a head coach, he competently stood on the sidelines to guide the tactics of the players.

I have to say that after only training for less than a month, the tactics can't be used at all, and the problems that usually do not appear in the tactical training matches have also sprung up. One of the biggest problems is instability in possession of the ball.

Of course, when Wang Shuai was not playing, the team's midfield was dominated by Zhou Aniu and Greenhouse, both of whom were not strong in possession of the ball, so it was understandable that the team's possession was unstable. It's just that after the problem of ball control appeared, there was also a problem with the connection of the team's front, middle and back three.

The premise of the successful implementation of TF-BP tactics is the possession rate of the midfield, because whether it is pressing in the front court or falling in the backfield, the next step needs to be completed through the midfield, so once there is a problem in the midfield, the whole team will collapse.

So, in the 45 minutes that Wang Shuai did not play, he was directly kicked 3:0 by the opponent.

It's just that Wang Shuai doesn't have any anxiety, because he has already seen the results of TF-BP tactics. If you don't look at the midfield, the other two players are perfect, and when you come on, the problem of possession in the midfield will fall apart. It can be said that Wang Shuai's new tactic has been successful.

In the second half, Wang Shuai went into battle.

And as soon as Wang Shuai came on the field, the situation of the game immediately reversed.

Just 25 minutes later, Aston Villa equalised.

Of course, this is only a warm-up game, whether it is Villa or Southampton, they don't look at winning or losing, and they are grinding their lineups and tactics. So seeing the score equalised, Southampton's side did not react much.

At the same time, Wang Shuai once again determined the effect of the new tactics, which means that this warm-up game has little effect for Villa. So Wang Shuai went off the field again, and then replaced all the new players introduced in the summer to the field, and used the last time to familiarize them with the team.

Fifteen minutes later, Villa and Southampton added another goal each to give the game a 4-4 scoreline. Of course, as I said before, the score doesn't matter, the important thing is that the TF-BP tactics succeeded.
