Chapter 365: A Perfect Multi-Core Attack
When Azpilicueta received the football, the task of organising the attack fell to his shoulders.
He must have observed the situation on the pitch before receiving the ball, but what he saw then was definitely different from what he sees now.
Because the format of the game is changing rapidly, the players on both sides are always running around the pitch all the time.
Now because of his lateral breakthrough and the movement of other players, there is a new situation on the field.
For example, there was a gap in front of Bayern Munich's penalty area in the middle.
This gap doesn't seem to be big now, of course, with Gotze's movement, I believe it will get bigger and bigger, enough to squeeze one person in.
So now there are multiple choice questions in front of Azpilicueta.
First of all, is he going to take advantage of this opportunity?
That's for sure, isn't the purpose of passing the ball back and forth in attack to create and take advantage of openings like this?
Then the question arises - how to take advantage of this space?
This is a test of a player's ability to organize an attack.
Seeing an opening, and then taking advantage of it, that's the consensus of everyone.
But how to use it, and be able to make good use of it, this requires the point level.
The average player might just send the football to this space.
But with the size of the current vacancy, if he does this, it is very likely that he will pass the football directly to the opposing player.
First of all, Van Bitten can quickly rush into this gap to intercept the pass.
Secondly, even if Van Bitten can't catch up with him, he can always follow Klose who comes up to pick up, so that Klose can't shoot directly with his feet.
Thirdly, even if it is not passed to Klose, it is passed to other receivers. Who else? Only Barak. But Ballack is still some distance away from that vacancy on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is Bayern Munich's defender Gustavo next to him.
If he had stepped forward at this time, Gustavo would have been an idiot and would have followed, and with Gustavo between him and Azpilicueta, the success rate of this pass would be much lower.
So how to use this gap, rely on passing or breaking to mobilize the opponent's defense, and finally use this gap to score for Lazio. This will test the playmaking skills of Azpilicueta as a full-back.
What is the embodiment of organizational ability?
Vision, big picture, awareness, passing skills and determination.
First of all, he has to see the gap, secondly, he has to know how to pass the movement so that the opposing defender can move the way he wants, and then you have to have good enough passing skills to get the ball where you want it to go, and finally, of course, determination. Once decided. Don't hesitate to do it, miss the opportunity, and act immediately!
In normal training, Chang Sheng places great emphasis on the improvement of the organizational skills of all players.
Training of various tactical classes and various offensive routines.
That's what it means to be used at times like this!
When a full-back like Cesar Azpilicueta receives the ball, he knows what to do!
※※※
After Azpilicueta made a lateral break, Götze came up to meet him, and the two men were in close proximity. Cesar Azpilicueta can also pass the ball directly to Gotze and then move it horizontally or vertically on his own, playing a one-two with Gotze.
But he didn't do it because it wasn't the best option.
If he moves laterally. To run to the void is to attract the defenders there, and the void is gone.
If he moves vertically, full-back Contento is still in guard. The odds are unlikely.
Since it is to organize the attack, it is natural to go towards the goal of scoring goals.
So Azpilicueta opted for the best of his time – he crossed. Let the Götze who ran up to answer become a cover, and the main role is to tear apart Bad Stubert and create a void.
Then he crossed the ball straight to Klose on the other side!
Klose didn't come forward to answer, and he realized that it was a gap, so he chose to stay where he was. Although he didn't step forward to catch the ball, Van Bitten, who was defending him, didn't go around the front as he noticed Ledesma's advance.
He was afraid that if he went around the front and successfully ruined the pass, it would be fine. Once he didn't make it, let Klose get the ball and pass it behind him, and it was a perfect break!
Ledesma will burst into the box completely unguarded and then face goalkeeper Bout alone.
It's too dangerous.
So Van Bitten opted for a more conservative defensive strategy - jamming Klose behind him and not allowing him to turn easily.
This approach can take care of two people, both defending Klose and keeping an eye on Ledesma.
If Klose were to knock the ball to Ledesma with his heel, he could have turned back to defend as soon as possible, handing Klose to Altentop, who had returned.
While Klose received the ball, Ledesma continued to cut into the box. And David. Silva opted for the exact opposite strategy, moving laterally in front of Klose, behind the attack.
The advantage of this is that he has more passing points for Klose, who can knock the ball on Ledesma with his heel or pass it back to him, and he is in a position right in the net where he can shoot directly from distance or reorganise the attack.
Ram was caught in a dilemma because of Ledesma's advance - to follow David. What about Silva? Or run to defend Ledesma?
If he goes outside with him, he goes to defend David. Silva, then in the penalty area is Ledesma and Klose, two Lazio players against Van Bitten alone, this is a very dangerous two-on-one!
In the end, Rahm chose to hold his position instead of blindly pressing out and marking people.
It seems that Bayern Munich's defensive strategy is man-to-man, which is actually zone-defensive. Everyone has their own area that should be covered. Position is very important in defense, as long as you can stand in position, it increases the success rate of defense, lose position, there will be gaps, and then it can be fatal!
These things are happening at the same time, and very quickly.
Klose didn't let the football stay under his feet for long.
Because then he will be under siege.
The pass of this attack is still going to be fast!
Use quick crosses and cuts to completely disrupt the opponent's defense. It makes Bayern Munich's players feel dizzy and overwhelmed when defending.
Now he has to make a choice too, just like Cesar Azpilicueta.
Football is at his feet, he's attacking and organising, and he's going to make the right choices. He can either turn around with the ball and shoot on his own, or he can use his heel to knock the ball to Ledesma in front of him, or he can do the football club to David. Silva, or pass the ball back to Gotze.
He has a lot to choose from. Having more options in the offense is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The bad thing is that you don't know which one is the right one, and if you choose the wrong one, the attack that the whole team has worked so hard to create will almost be wasted.
Making the right choice is also a quality that an organizer should have.
Klose made the right choice.
He drove the ball diagonally into the box.
The destination of football is exactly the middle of the road that appeared at the beginning!
※※※
It was a pure void, and Van Bitten was pressed behind him. It's a bit far from Kongdang.
Bad Stuber was evacuated by Gotze, and now it will take time to turn around.
After a series of passes and movements, this vacancy has been completely formed!
So who is this void for?
"Michelle. Barak! ”
With the roar of the commentator, Ballack, who was hesitant in front of the penalty area, had already shook off Gustavo, who was defending him, like lightning, and inserted it into the penalty area!
Gustavo was completely distracted by Lazio's pass just now, and he couldn't help but look there when the ball was at Klose's feet. So much so that for the time being, they ignore their own defensive objects!
By the time he reacted now, it was too late!
Barak shook him off and rushed into the box!
At the same time, Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Bout abandoned the goal!
Bad Stuber turned around in a hurry. Defending Ballack, intending to get ahead of Ballack and get rid of the ball.
None of the other Lazio players stood there to watch the play.
Ledesma continued to cut forward and into the box, ready to shoot.
Gotze also turned and stepped forward. Also prepare for the follow-up shot.
Klose didn't go to the front of the door to join in the fun, he moved behind Ballack. If Ballack's attack is unsuccessful and he is cleared, he may fall to his feet and form a second attack.
It's a perfect attack!
A lot of people think that offense is something as simple as player A passing the football to player B, player B passing it to player C, and then player C gets up and shoots the goal, and the football flies into the goal.
In fact, if you focus on the football, of course it's a cover-up, and you only see what's going on around the football.
But when you look at the overall situation, you will find that an attack that looks ordinary is actually very complicated, and there is a lot of knowledge and mystery in it.
It must be the team's clear division of labor and coordination that allows the last shooter to score.
For example, this time, if there were no other Lazio players running and involved, how could there be a vacancy, and how could Ballack take advantage of it?
And even if Ballack has already inserted into the penalty area and run to the open time, the other Lazio players are still running and cooperating with him.
They took everything into account except for the shot, and they were ready to attack it.
However, Ballack didn't let his teammates' preparedness really come in handy.
He got the ball before Bout and Bad Stubert!
No dribbling, no adjustments, he just got up and shot at goal!
Instead of a powerful volley, the ball crossed over Bout, who had fallen to the ground, drew a parabola, and then crashed into the empty goal behind Bout!
※※※
"Nice group fit!" The Italian commentator raised his arms and shouted, "Lazio broke the deadlock in the thirty-fourth minute!" It was Michelle who scored the goal. Barack! The German captain has scored the goal of his old club! ”
"Barak! Barack! Bala-K!! Lazio leads Bayern Munich 1:0! Is the game going to Lazio rhythm again?! ”
"Perfect use of the gap in the middle, Ballack's forward cut was very timely! It's a well-planned offensive! When Bayern Munich was the most heavily defended in the middle, this goal was finally scored in the middle! Lazio's ability to break through dense defenses is breathtaking! They seem to be on the same page with Bayern Munich – do you focus on defending the middle? Then let's focus on attacking the middle! Pretty! That's why Lazio's attacks are always so pleasing to the eye! Their offense is like a smooth flow of water, full of movement and rhythm! ”
