Orivisky Manor, compared to those luxury hotels, does not have many rooms, and the facilities are not perfect, so the German team simply arranged their meeting room in a small bungalow on the training ground.

The facilities are not very perfect, but they are all there, after all, they are all brought by the national team themselves, and they can be used when they are powered on.

And now, in this humble little bungalow, the German team began one of the most important tactical meetings in their preparation for the European Championship final, Yang Cheng needs to make it clear to all the players through this meeting, how to play the game, and then in the next few days, around this set of tactics to practice and run-in.

Due to the rush of time, it is naturally impossible to propose something revolutionary, which is unrealistic, but Yang Cheng hopes that the team can improve on the original basis, which will undoubtedly become possible.

"First of all, I have to be sure of all of you!" When Yang Cheng stood on the stage, the whole conference room became silent, and there was no one around the conference room, and the police patrolled outside, prohibiting anyone from approaching the training ground and approaching the conference room, which was also part of the German team's secrecy.

"Spain is the strongest national team in international football today, there is no one, this team has outstanding advantages, I hope that all of you, you can face their advantages clearly and clearly, it is not difficult to admit it, it is not scary, because we will beat it!"

Yang Cheng's words made many people present nod, because if you want to defeat an enemy, then you must first know where the opponent's strengths and weaknesses are, so that you can avoid the opponent's advantages and attack the opponent's weaknesses.

"The Spanish advantage is very clear, they have excellent individual skills, they have a group of superstars, they have an incredible overall ball control and attacking tools. These are Spain's strengths, and relatively speaking, we are our weaknesses. ”

When he spoke, Yang Cheng's eyes were always rolling on the player's body. He could see that everyone was very attentive and listened very carefully, because they had managed to reach the final again, and they didn't want to see themselves lose again, and if they lost to Spain three times in a row, it would be a big joke in football history.

"We Chinese have a saying. The most dangerous place is often the safest, and it is also very suitable for Spain, that is where they are the strongest, in fact, their biggest lifeline, and their most powerful place is precisely their weakest link! ”

When he said this, Yang Cheng let go of his body, so that all the players could see the tactical formation map of Spain that had already been drawn on the tactical board behind him, and everyone could see it. Spain's formation as a whole is pressing.

"Many people may not understand why all the teams with the ball have to move forward. Real Madrid. This is the case in Barcelona and now in Spain, why? ”

Yang Cheng asked with a smile, but he didn't wait for the player to think, but gave the answer directly.

"Because possession of the ball can only create a threat when it reaches a certain area, and this so-called specific area, which is the opponent's 32-meter area, only when the ball is possessed in this area, it makes sense, because the purpose of possession is to brew an attack. It's pulling the opponent's defense, it's looking for fighters, and once you catch a fighter and get an opportunity, you have to suddenly speed up. ”

"What's faster than a through ball or a diagonal pass?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically.

All the players are seasoned, and many of them already know that. But there are also some young players who don't understand, and now it sounds like that, because straight and diagonal passes can really break the situation on the field in an instant. …,

But if the distance is long, the accuracy of direct and oblique passes will decrease, and it will be meaningless.

"But everything in this world is relative, if you move forward, then there will naturally be flaws behind you, and to some extent, the more you move forward, the more obvious the advantage of possession, but the bigger the flaws behind you, that's why I said that Spain's advantage is precisely their dead end!"

Yang Cheng's opinion must be clear to anyone who knows a little about the Spanish ball control system, such as Mourinho, such as Boas, such as Arsene Wenger, etc., they are very aware of this, so when arranging tactics, they always focus on this, but there are very few teams that can do this.

The reason is also simple, because if you want to crack this set of tactics, you must have extremely high quality.

"Any team that wants to resolve Spain's set of tactics, generally speaking, there are only two possibilities, one is to press out as a whole, press the opponent, and both sides play full field pressing, but unless such a team has the same excellent technical and tactical level as Spain, outstanding tacit understanding, and the ability to unite and work together, otherwise, they will generally die a very miserable death, and they will eventually show their flaws under the oppression and pull of the opponent!"

"Another is to lower their own posture, first seek to stabilize the defense, try not to let Spain score first, and then play a counterattack, this set of tactics is more suitable for most teams, but if you want to completely hold the situation, it is not easy, there are only two possibilities."

"One is to use the midfield strangulation tactics, just like Chelsea back then, and the other is to shrink the defense, but both have drawbacks, once the strangulation intensity is not enough, to the opponent penetration, there is danger behind him, and the latter is equivalent to directly ceding possession, resulting in comprehensive passivity, can only wait for the opponent to take the initiative to make mistakes, revealing flaws."

Yang Cheng is a person who likes initiative and control, so he smiled, "Neither of these are my liking, I want to propose a defensive tactic that is more suitable for us now!" ”

When he said this, Yang Cheng used his tablet to show a short video on the big screen, the first picture is a ball carrier facing the defense, there is no defender in front of him, and a red line is drawn in front of him, which is obviously for commentary.

"In the past, our running was more about working in groups of three, one to grab, one to the side, and one to help defend. But now, I want you to be able to do it in units of 4 people, one to grab and two to block. A delay in the defense, because only then will we be able to ensure that we are not breached by Spain! ”

Yang Cheng pointed to the picture on the big screen, "If the opponent directly takes the ball to face our defense, how many forward routes do you think the opponent has?" ”

As soon as this question was asked, many players on the scene began to talk about it, and the answer was not uniform.

Yang Cheng pressed to continue. The image continues, and the result is a semi-circular sector with the player as the origin and the red line as the diameter, in which all angles can provide a propulsive pass.

"It's a 180-degree wide passing angle!" Yang Cheng said, and then put it again.

I saw that there was an extra defensive player in front of the player, and the two faced each other for one-on-one defense.

"So. How many passing angles are there now? Yang Cheng asked again, and only after everyone had a round did he then answer: "It's 45 degrees on the left side and 45 degrees on the right side!" ”

A 45-degree angle to the left and right sides of the diameter appears on the screen. It shows that both areas can pass the ball, and the 90-degree angle in the middle of the sector is blocked by the defenders, and everyone who kicks the ball knows very well that this is indeed the case. …,

"Well, here's the problem, I dare say that with the technical skills of the Spanish players, they can definitely grasp the 45-degree diagonal pass on the left and right sides, they have the skills and ability. And their teammates also have this sense of running and planning, because they are all taught by me! ”

Yang Cheng said this with an irrefutable authority, he can be said to be the architect behind this Spain team, and Bosque's team was built on his Real Madrid skeleton.

"So just blocking one side, they can pass the other side, and it doesn't work well either. They can also break through our defence, so if we want to block Spain's forward passes, then we have to have players on the left and right flanks to form a real fan of defence, with one more lag behind us to avoid one-on-one passes! ”

Everyone can see from the short film and Yang Cheng's analysis that if this is really done, it can indeed be said that it blocks a person's forward passing angle, he either passes back or is broken, and it is difficult to pass through the defensive area, even if the teammates around him deserve to be dense.

"This is just one point in the defense, if we can spread this point and form countless layers of fan defense, then the opponent's forward route will be completely destroyed!"

When he said this, Yang Cheng paused for a moment, and he felt that it was necessary for the players to digest their thoughts and ideas.

Forced indoctrination is not something that players can truly understand and comprehend, and only by relying on them to think and figure out these can they understand the defensive tactics that Yang Cheng wants them to achieve.

"Boss, I'm afraid this is a fantasy, if we want to do this, how much do we have to run?"

"Yes, boss, according to what you said, if you run like this, let alone a game, it is estimated that you won't be able to hold half a game!"

"That's right, the stadium is so big, it's definitely impossible to run like this all the time, they just use the pass to keep pulling you, let you run, and wait until your physical energy is almost exhausted, and then slowly torture you, when the time comes, there is not enough physical strength to support, no matter how good the tactics are, it's useless, watching the other party play with you!"

Yang Cheng advocated that they speak freely when preparing for tactics, so in the face of suspicion, he did not feel angry, but happy, because he was able to put forward his opinion, which proved that they digested and understood Yang Cheng's thoughts.

The German team's off-ball running has always been very good, especially after Yang Cheng established the youth training system, the off-ball running is a group of three, and this group of players can even be said to have grown and improved in such an environment since childhood, which makes them have the possibility of going further and realizing Yang Cheng's ideas.

For example, Barak, the latter's many runs are all out of the triangle area, forming a fourth person run, and this fourth person is actually completing Yang Cheng's set of tactical ideas.

"Yes, you're all right, but there's a possibility that we can do it!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After everyone listened, they all immediately looked at Yang Cheng attentively, and at this moment, Barak was the first to understand, and suddenly realized: "Shrink the distance between the three lines and reduce the area of control, so that there will be less running!" ”

Yang Cheng smiled and pointed at Barak. Praised: "Well said! It's not just less running, it's less running! ”

Run as a team, just keep the right distance and keep a tight and orderly formation. The distance and energy consumption of the player in this area can actually be reduced to a minimum.

This is somewhat similar to the assembly line work that is advocated in factories, which can maximize efficiency. …,

"I've calculated that the best distance between players is around 10 meters, less and too crowded, which leads to a narrower and more controlled area. There will be loopholes, the control area is too large, the actual control ability is weak, and it is easy to be infiltrated and passed by the opponent, and there will be loopholes! ”

After listening to Yang Cheng's words, combined with the series of data that Yang Cheng just proposed, they all had to believe that this series of tactics proposed by Yang Cheng was completely achievable. They are more than capable of using precisely calculated off-ball runs to limit the opposition's passing penetration.

All the players added in their minds some words that Yang Cheng didn't say, and they could all imagine it. If you can quickly launch a similar fan defense when the opponent has the ball, it means that it will be difficult for the opponent to get the opportunity to pass forward, even if it is successful once and a half, the lag behind the defender will make up for it and minimize the damage.

And the set of tactics formulated by Yang Cheng, everyone must maintain a distance of about 10 meters, plus what Ballack said before to shrink the defense, which also represents Yang Cheng's tone of playing Spain, not to fight Spain. It's about counter-attacking defensively, really counter-attacking.

I believe that at this moment, many players will admire from the bottom of their hearts, Yang Cheng is Yang Cheng in the end, and even the defensive counterattack is different from others, and the more carefully they think about it. It's easy for them to find something interesting.

Once the ball is broken, almost everyone can face the opponent's goal, and then in the shortest time, or even directly complete the transition from defense to offense, directly launch a wave of counterattacks, and directly face the opponent's position to attack.

And Yang Cheng just said that in order to ensure the effectiveness of the ball control, Spain must move the defense line forward, revealing the flaws behind them, if the German team seizes the opportunity to counterattack and pass the ball directly behind them, does that mean that the German team has seized the fatal flaw of the Spaniards?

The more I think about it, the more interesting it is, the more I think about it, the more energetic I feel, they gradually can't help but be brought into Yang Cheng's set of tactical ideas, they can feel it, as long as they don't make fatal mistakes in this kind of defense, they can ensure that the German team's goal is not lost to the greatest extent.

But this is only theoretical, this set of tactics is indeed a route that can contain the opponent's vertical offensive advance, and complete the offensive and defensive conversion as quickly as possible, but in fact, to achieve such a goal, the requirements are also very high.

First of all, such a team must have a well-developed and clever system of running without the ball, and the German team undoubtedly has such a foundation.

Also, the team's formation must be appropriate, to ensure that the players can not only cover the space, but also ensure the players' physical fitness and running distance, and Yang Cheng is now in order to do this, to adopt shrinking defensive tactics, first to ensure stability, and then slowly try to plan for others, and wait until the team is familiar with this set of tactics in the future, it can expand the defensive space and avoid the embarrassing situation of always sticking to the side half.

But there is also one thing that the manager cannot predict, that is, the degree to which the players complete the tactics, and the speed at which they can switch from attacking to fanning as quickly as possible after the opponent breaks the ball, which is undoubtedly the biggest problem with the whole defensive system.

Yang Chengyan is obviously very aware of this, and even knows better than anyone else, that this is the key factor in determining the success or failure of this set of tactics, with Spain's small and fast play, as well as their outstanding ability to pass and receive the ball and propulsion, if they can't do this in the shortest possible time, then the German team can not expect to be able to hold off Spain's attack. …,

Therefore, he must focus on practicing the team's defensive system in the next period of time, so that the players can familiarize themselves with this set of tactics as much as possible, and at the same time improve the team's transition speed between offense and fan defense as much as possible.

Another important topic is the mastery of distance.

As Yang Cheng mentioned just now, the distance should not be too far, far away can not guarantee to intercept the opponent's passing route, there are loopholes, but the distance can not be too close, close can not ensure the control of the defensive area, nor can it ensure the level of defense.

After all, this set of fan defense is not just a one-on-one battle, but a whole team against another team, 11 to 11, a contest composed of countless fours, which must ensure that the team has enough layers so that there will be no chaotic scenes, otherwise in the end they will not toss the other party, but toss themselves.

In addition, Yang Cheng has always reserved a backhand, he must prepare for the worst, if Bosque's team really breaks through the German team's defense, the German team must go out and fight, then how the team can play a threatening attack while ensuring the quality of the defense.

Offense, this is Yang Cheng's strength, and it is also his killer weapon in this game, which must be had! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
