Chapter 68: Techniques and Tactics Study During the Suspension of Training
I was suspended from training by Bilic and couldn't train with the big team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 This kind of punishment is actually not good for us as a team - the header between me and Mandzukic, which should have been the focus of practice, is now not being carried out. For the sake of serious discipline, Bilic would rather pay the price of precious joint training time, does this mean that in fact, my role is only a dispensable alternative? ……
Spain, this is not an easy opponent to deal with. In the last game against Italy, we have been so difficult, our golden midfield, facing a team like Italy that only the veteran Pirlo can be regarded as a superstar, can only barely make a draw, a slight advantage, and want to face the world champion, the defending champion of the European Cup, with the world's No. 1 midfield combination of the Spanish team, facing the 2010 Ballon d'Or three - Xavi and Iniesta as the core, with Fabregas, Busquets, David Silva as a strong complement to the Spanish midfield, Can our golden midfield compete with our opponents? ……
Since we can't train together, I might as well settle down and study our tough opponents and do my homework for our Croatian team.
Spain, ranked No. 1 in the world, has the strongest midfield combination in the world - several talented Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona's La Masia Academy. At the same time, it has the strongest defensive line in the world - Pique, Ramos, Arbeloa, Alba. The two full-backs are not among the best in the world, but their defensive ability is still very good. Instead, there are two centre-backs - Pique Pique and Ramos, Pique has the height advantage, and Ramos has the physical advantage of bouncing and so on, which makes them play a very important role in attack - although they play for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, they can be called the two big knife defenders in the La Liga backline in Spanish football. Relatively speaking, Pique is a little more frizzy defensively, which is something we can exploit. Ramos, on the other hand, has a perfect offense and defense, and everything else is good except that he is not particularly dominant in terms of height.
If we want to get inside the Spanish defence, we have to find a way to hit Pique's back, or Ramos on the head. Ramos' headers are good, but because of his height, if there is a man who is tall enough to specifically suppress Ramos, then we will have an advantage in high balls.
Well...... Isn't this the right person to be?
I'm a 1.98-meter-tall man who can both head the ball and dribble past people, and although I don't have the same nimble skills as Sweden's Ibrahimovic or the great French star Zinedine Zidane in the past, at least I'm not a clumsy person. My weight is not heavy, I am 1.98 meters tall, and I weigh only 110 kilograms, which is quite standard and well-proportioned, and I am not lacking in muscle and strength. Speaking of which, maybe all I'm missing is experience when I'm close to becoming a star.
However, experience is something that can only be accumulated by relying on more competitions......
Bilic always asked me to come on in the 93rd minute, so how could I get more experience in the game......
……
Speaking of which, what path should I take to make the most of my height without being so clumsy and showing off the benefits of athletic talent?
Like Jan Kohler of the Czech Republic at Euro 2004? He is two meters and two meters tall, four centimeters taller than me, which is about the same height. He's one of the better of the tall players, but even in his best game at Euro 2004, he scored just two goals, and more often than not, he covered for the Czechs' golden midfield and fought for the first high point up front. Backed by Jan Kohler's high point, Liverpool striker Barosh found plenty of chances, scoring five goals in the tournament and becoming the top scorer.
However, Jan Kohler's flaws are that he moves very slowly, his height and weight, and he has no problem in confrontation, but he is very strict with the points of the ball, and if the pass is not so good, his ability to fight for the top will be greatly reduced. Fortunately, the Czech team at that time also had a golden midfielder of a whole generation, and the golden midfielder led by Nedved, with a great wing star like Poboski, and a technical player like Rosicky, did ensure a very high accuracy of crosses.
Nedved, Poboski, Rosicky, such a golden midfielder, isn't it very similar to our current Rakitic, Perisic and Modric?!
That year, the Czech team, after trailing the Netherlands 0:2, scored three goals in a row and played the most heart-wrenching game of the entire cup. Their golden midfield was really good in that game. Does this mean that if I play as a striker like Jan Kohler and play for the midfield, I can tear apart the defense of artistic teams like the Netherlands and Spain, and with our golden midfielder taking turns attacking the opponent, there will be a chance to break the Spanish goal?!
However, the Dutch team of that year and the Spanish team of this year are two completely different existences. Although they are all technical teams, Spain's technology is at the historical level, and it has long reached the level of "art". Their tikitaka tactics are simply not something that ordinary teams can stop, and the kind of 70% possession at every turn, which is desperate and suffocating - that is by no means what any Dutch team, or even any national team in history, can do against strong opponents.
Against Italy, we managed to have more than 60 per cent possession, and that's because the Italians themselves voluntarily give up possession in favour of the speed and quality of the counter-attack. However, against Spain, there is almost no doubt that it will only be us who will fight back. If the two strikers are both people with average speed and rely on height to eat, then how can we fight with our counterattack speed? ……
Thankfully, my body is not yet finalized.
I'm tall, but I'm not slow. The absolute speed of the sprint should be at least about the same as Mandzukic, and in the long run, as I said, in the whole Croatian team, my 12-minute run is generally ahead of the first or second group. I'm still young, my muscles haven't grown yet, if I continue to do good exercises in the future, and take the path of athletic talent, is it another choice?
Who else is the great star of 1.98 meters?
Football may not be able to find anything. However, there are basketball worlds.
Moreover, he is still the greatest.
He's the basketball god, Michael Jordan.
He is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms, which is 12 kilograms lighter than me. That's why he can fly - a flyer, not definitely a dwarf.
If I can lose my weight to 98 kg later......
Am I going to be able to ...... I had athletic ability like Jordan!
