44 A Different Guard Three (Part II)
The early back three consisted of two wing-backs and a centre-back in the box. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Later, with the increase of defensive pressure, the back three were all central defenders, and the wingbacks became offensive and defensive wingbacks.
Germany and Italy, two football powers, have a very deep cultivation in the attainment of the back three, relying on this formation to win the championship, both countries have produced super-first-class scavengers and left-backs, especially the German football emperor Franz Beckenbauer has played his own style of play and became the founder of the free man.
Unfortunately, as football youth training is becoming more and more like an assembly line, there are fewer and fewer defenders with great talent and personality, and the inheritance of liberos and scavengers is almost severe. This type of centre-back is very sought-after but also very scarce, otherwise it would not have been so expensive.
Some people say that a central defender can defend and attack, this TMD is too versatile.
If you know the Dutch all-attacking and all-defensive tactics, you will know that it is natural for this type of centre-back to evolve to this point, well, it is also the general trend.
In fact, this kind of central defender is still a weakened version of the full-attacking and full-defensive central defender, if you have to find a central defender who meets this tactical standard, Beckenbauer, a superman who can play first-class in ten positions, is the best reference.
Of course, it is not easy for modern football to produce a weakened version of the Bei Huang, and the pursuit of the most ideal central defender can only be relegated to the second, Josep Guardiola can only bring in John Stones, the "best" central defender in Leo Ferdinand's mind, with a record of 47.5 million pounds for the transfer of central defenders.
Although it is not the best choice in mind, the young England international with the potential to rise as long as Guardiola is well cultivated, maybe the Three Lions have an English version of Gerard Pique.
As mentioned earlier, the responsibilities of the three central defenders are two to mark and one to assist in the defense. But if the opponent is a single striker, it is a waste of resources, which is one reason why the single striker formation is the nemesis of the back three.
But Niu Shuai's three defenders are not the kind of three defenders that many people think, at least from the perspective of on-field performance, Zhu Zeming's hot spots active inside and outside the penalty area are more like a high degree of freedom of the back, it seems that the three defenders actually stay in the penalty area the most when defending are still two people.
According to Niu Shuai's tactical deployment, the two wingbacks retreated deeper, focusing on rib defense, mainly to destroy the winger's inward cut and breakthrough, and let the opposing wingback and winger cross.
It can be said that Hull City's defensive focus is in the middle, that is, to strangle Fernando Llorente's high point and the Icelandic sniper's explosive point of long-range shooting, Zhu Zeming is specialized in dealing with Icelanders, and at the same time, he also showed a beautiful trick in judging the situation: a long pass that is more accurate than navigation, but unfortunately the two strikers either missed or hit people. Curtis Davies may not be as tall as he is slightly taller, but against a hand-to-hand defense Spaniard who has just arrived in the Premier League and has not yet adapted to the Premier League, is a chicken. Michael Essien, who has transformed from a midfielder to a central defender, is no longer an iron waist full of physical strength and running like a big buffalo, but he has rich defensive experience and is also comfortable in the penalty area.
With a clear division of labor among the three centre-backs and a unified tactical mindset, Swansea, who dominated the first half, had only two of their 12 shots on target, leaving Hull City goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic to move his stiff body, and the rest of the shots proved how dangerous the sky on the pitch is, birds please don't fly here, for your life.
Hull City was not without counter-attacks, but four offsides and only four shots on target failed to hit the target, indicating that Robin van Persie and Robson Kanu are still trying to adapt to the Premier League, after all, the Dutchman has been away from the Premier League for more than a year, and Reading, who has been playing for Kanu, has been mixed in the Championship and League One for a long time, and it is also a day trip to the Premier League by chance, so the Welsh striker who scored in the World Cup in the European Championship obviously needs a long time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League game.
Niu Shuai's purpose in letting him start is actually to look at his physical strength, and it is obvious that in the first half he was mainly defensive, consuming Swansea's physical energy and preparing for the counterattack in the second half.
How could the experienced veteran coach Francisco Guidolin not know this?
But he can't help but be led by Niu Shuai, fighting at home, the opponent is a soft persimmon in the eyes of the fans, at this time, if you don't attack and win three points to win two consecutive wins, when will it be? Occasionally, the team slowed down the pace and tried to lure the snake out of the hole, but the tiger just didn't come out of the mountain, which made Guidolin hate it.
You're too shameless, aren't you, you're a turtle? An old driver who drives a bus? Playing so ugly and not afraid of being scolded by fans?
Niu Shuai scoffed, I'm stupid, this is your territory, I'm weak and I'm reasonable, Lao Tzu let you on the tiger's head, you got cheap and sold well, do you want Bilian?
If Guidolin knew Niu Shuai's thoughts, he would probably vomit several liters of old blood.
Wait, how many liters of human blood are there?
As the first half drew to a close, Swansea's thunderous and rainy offensive was in vain, and the gates of Hull City, which appeared to be passive and crumbling on the surface, were in fact immovable and steady.
"Zhu performed well this time, and almost didn't make any mistakes." Darko Milovic sat next to Niu Shuai and smiled.
Niu Shuai, who didn't put cool on the sidelines, returned to his seat with the two, Niu Shuai said lightly: "This swan doesn't have a fox's Walti-type striker, plus the old man's stubborn insistence on crossing from the side, so Xiao Zhu's defensive pressure is not great, this performance is normal, and his biggest role is actually to launch an attack." ”
"The backfield as an offensive starting point is the trend of football tactics in recent years, I understand this, but Schweinsteiger's experience and ability can also be used as an offensive starting point." Mike Ferran asked.
"Didn't you see Bastian wrapped around those two backs?" Niu Shuai's chin raised slightly, and he pouted angrily in front of him, and said: "For my ideal player configuration, the more offensive starting points, the better, so as to solve the situation that will be encountered in the future with high pressure and the difficulty of core players being surrounded to get the ball." The defenders in the midfield are limited, they can't, or even stare at the backcourt, Bastian's biggest role is to control the pace of the game, that is, the metronome, when he has space, he will create scoring opportunities, if he is targeted, the ball point will be handed over to Xiao Zhu. Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing if I can have a few more players with good skills, and see that I don't play them to death. ”
Niu Shuai, who rubbed his chin, seemed to think of something fun, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
