What is the concept of tenacity?

You Mo, who had never fought against his opponent, quickly felt it.

Schalke 04's players are generally not strong in personal ability, and many of them are not distinctive enough, one by one, they are ordinary, and they may even be worried about the main position in other Bundesliga powerhouses.

But such a mediocre-looking team, but the confrontation ability that he can be proud of, can't play to his advantages at all!

Pester!

In the last game, Youmo also suffered from the opponent's differential treatment. His response was very mature and, by the way, led his opponent to a dead end.

This one was completely different.

The players of Schalke 04 used a very teamwork style to go forward and layer upon layer, not only maintaining a certain distance, but also being able to quickly appear in front of the ball when needed!

In the confrontation, if you can't really control the direction of the ball, the situation will be chaotic and the offensive line will be unclear. What follows is a decrease in the threat and the offensive turns into a chaotic battle!

Stevens did not send a special person to defend him closely, but used this overall combat method to contain the entire Kaiserslautern attack.

There is a lack of opportunities in the frontcourt, and it is difficult for You Mo's creative power to be brought into play.

In this way, the balance of victory began to tilt gradually with Schalke 04's sharp counterattack!

Barak, who had high hopes, did not come up with a good watch in his familiar position. He is also a little uncomfortable with the opponent's style of play, and he is very active in attacking, but he often can't return to his position in defense.

This situation has to do with his lack of experience at a high level.

The higher the level of the game, the lower the margin for error. In the past, I could have rushed to the scene with a horse, but now I am often late because of the opponent's rapid forward and clear counterattack!

After a few times. Bitter fruit comes.

In the 36th minute of the game, Wilmots planned a successful sneak attack, which was finally completed by his teammates!

Coleman, who had high expectations before the game, was a little dull with the 45,000 spectators in the stands.

The scene is not good, the score is falling behind. The team was led by the nose by the opponent, and the game in this state was really depressing.

Stevens' team, even against weaker opponents, will not hesitate to play defensive counter-attacks, which makes their games always lack the spectacle that laymen care about.

Tough ball control, gorgeous individual and collective performances, and imaginative creative power are the tables of these weekend feasts. It has fully whetted everyone's appetite. All of a sudden, it became a boxed lunch that was worse than fast food, which was really unappetizing.

As the half-time whistle sounded, Coleman hummed lazily.

Kaiserslautern grabbed the time to attack a few rounds, but the effect was still not obvious. The opponent's experience is too rich, and in this game, the team's common offensive lines were blocked, and several common offensive methods were guessed by the opponent. The play of the core characters is very limited, which makes the game feel a little controlled by the opponent. ”

'Sforza is in the face of quick tackling. Table xiàn is not satisfactory. The frequency of his feet is not fast enough, when he organizes the attack, he needs more space, and the passing characteristics are mainly penetrating, and the ball is not transferred quickly enough. Throughout the first half, he failed to revitalize the team's attack. Mo seems to have returned to the era when it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. I don't know if Rehhagel will do his best in the second half to send We to solve this problem. ”

"Stevens' team is the best at messing around, and for them, possession is far less important than the score, and the spectacle is far less important than the result. This kind of pragmatism is achieved to the extreme, and it can also exert good combat effectiveness. Belgian Wilmots is in good form. He played a huge role in the first-half goal. ”

"Rehhagel moved Ballack to the back of the midfield in this game, and the opponent's quick counterattack was guarded. According to his plan, the two backs can take care of each other. At least when the opponent counterattacks, someone can quickly line in front of the defensive line to form the first barrier. ”

"The actual results are not satisfactory. The team's attack lacks penetration, and when the front court is chaotic, Ballack's range of movement is very large, and the role he can play is limited. When the opponent counterattacked quickly, his struggle to chase back was obviously a little slow. Latchinho's form was mediocre, and the goal he conceded this time was a mistake in his passing in attack, and the opponent seized the opportunity to counterattack. ”

"Rehhagel's team, it's time to think of a way!"

Sitting in the locker room, Barak was still a little uneven.

The offense hit the iron plate, and the defense could not play its due role. Throughout the first half, he made up for his lack of experience with diligent running. This makes the body that has always been proud of lì a little too expensive.

He has rarely partnered with Lacchinho in the back and has been more often used in the right midfield position in training. Although the right midfielder also has a defensive role, there is a big difference between defending on the wing and defending on the middle.

Defending on the side, you only need to contain the opponent's breakthrough and the penetration of the ball, to put it simply, it is a simple choice of running position and a simple choice of defense.

It's much more difficult to defend in the middle. Running, picking, marking, echoing, transposing, judging whether to grab or follow, foul if necessary, these rich and complex requirements must be completed quickly in a few seconds.

If the opponent is a strong team and he focuses on defense throughout the game, it is not difficult to do, and he has had a lot of this experience in his previous game experience, and his defensive table has always been good.

However, the team's offense has been hindered for a long time, and the frontcourt needs manpower. He was anxious in his eyes, and there was no way to contain the idea of going up to help him. It is true that the opponent is a strong team, but it can take the initiative to give up a large area of the midfield, and start to fortify at all levels from the middle line, and what you are staring at is a mistake!

The team didn't make mistakes at the beginning, but when the offense went into chaos, the youngsters were inevitably a little impatient. If you can't play the rhythm you are used to, the possibility of making mistakes in passing will start to increase. Sforza is also responsible for Rachinho's mistake.

The passer and the runner take it for granted!

This unexpected situation made his defense useless again, and in the end he could only use it as a background cloth for the opponent's celebration in the empty run.

What to do?

Rehhagel showed up in the locker room. The buzz came to an abrupt end.

The old man smiled before he spoke.

"Expecting young people to mature overnight and the team to become strong in a few games is obviously just a child's good wish. What you meet today is the veterans who catch each other's mistakes, and their most common method of warfare. ”

"No one can never make mistakes. It's like there's no such thing as an invincible team. Saying this is not to make you give up the idea of winning. On the contrary, from your discussions, I heard a high spirit. I'm very satisfied with this! ”

"The opponent is really difficult to deal with, and the approach they use is closer to the chain defense that the Italian team is good at. If you want to penetrate lightly, it's obviously just a thoughtless mind under impatience. ”

"There are a lot of attacking opportunities, if you don't cherish them. Opportunities don't come out. ”

"How to cherish it, I want to name it today."

"Sforza, you come first."

The old man suddenly started a tactical discussion session in the locker room, which surprised everyone.

However, they really have something to say.

"Patience, I think, should be this. The ball is too simple and straightforward. It's easy to be killed by your opponent. The efficiency of the attack is far more important than the quantity, and the opponent is using what he does best. Giving us lessons. Of course, expecting them to press out, let's catch them make mistakes, and hit them on the counterattack, that's unlikely. I made a lot of mistakes in the first half, so please forgive me. ”

Rehhagel nodded. Satisfied with the echo of the surrounding chores, he continued to take the roll call.

"Mo, what you've always been good at has been challenged to, what are you going to do?"

"Sforza has already said it, so I won't stress it anymore. There are many things that we can learn from our opponents. In addition to their ability to seize opportunities, their teamwork spirit is worth mentioning. We're not strong enough to play against all our opponents right now, and what we rely on in the game is to maximize the strength of the team. I was in the game and I had a delusion a lot of the time. Why does the opponent seem to have more people than us? I believe you have more or less felt this impression. ”

After a pause, You Mo grabbed the water cup on the table and poured a few big sips before continuing: "The opponent's patience is far beyond our expectations, and this situation is worth thinking about. What should I do to deal with an old hunter? ”

Rehhagel was clearly in high spirits, completely oblivious to when and where in general, and continued.

"What do you think, Barak?"

Barak looked up, his chin tilted slightly, and smiled before he spoke.

"Old hunter? What an interesting analogy. You always think differently than everyone else, and that is still the case today. In the words of the old hunter, it is inevitable to eat by experience. But if you just rely on experience, will you be lured into the trap you have set? ”

The clarity of thinking made the team's second half resolute and decisive.

The offense was still not fluent enough, the passable patience increased a lot, and the technical advantage began to slowly come into play. This situation is a bit like a tower of sand.

A successful pass just needs a defender to be in position quickly. Twice, you need someone to help defend it. Three times, there is a risk of a hole in the defensive line. Four times five times, the vulnerability is magnified. In the future, when the hole is big enough, you can pierce the defense line in one fell swoop, and the opportunity will come!

Of course, the current Kaiserslautern is just a clear idea, and they are just beginners on this road with a long way to go.

However, he can still maintain enough patience when facing experienced opponents and defending layer by layer. This point has undoubtedly raised their level to a higher level!

Experienced, natural prediction is accurate, layer by layer link, and the defensive error tolerance rate is much higher. In the face of such an opponent, it is obviously a bit of a mistake to count on the previous simple and quick counterattack to break the balance.

In the second half, Rehhagel was not in a hurry to replace Lu Wei to change the situation.

His choice remains the same.
