If anyone has read Yang Cheng's book, which is regarded as the Bible by countless professionals around the world and used as a teaching material by countless football professionals, then they must be able to find that Yang Cheng in this book, the most used word to describe tactics is relative!

That's right, many people feel that tactics are high and low, strong and weak, but in fact, this kind of high and low strength is relative, not absolute, that is to say, the so-called high and strong, are for a specific low and weak, change the comparison object, maybe the high and strong in the eyes of fans will become low and weak.

There are no impermeable walls in this world, and naturally there is no perfect tactic for eternal victory.

Even if it is as strong as Real Madrid, praised by countless fans as the perfect tactics and lineup, but still lost to Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the Champions League final, does that mean that Real Madrid made a big mistake in the final and is not perfect at all? Or is Manchester United's tactics better than Real Madrid's? More powerful?

Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that the football field is the fairest arena in the world, because at the level of a head coach, in terms of tactics, what he sees is always trade-offs and balances.

If you want to get something, then you must give up something, you can't want to get an invincible attack at the same time, but also want to have an unbreakable defense, that's impossible, because when you attack, you have already exposed the holes in the defense, how can you take care of it at the same time?

A really good manager, when it comes to tactics, what he wants to do is always make trade-offs and balances.

I want to attack, but how to make sure that my defense is as strong as possible while attacking, and how to make a trade-off between the two. To what extent is the scale controlled? It's up to the manager to master it!

It's like this game. Brazil played Germany, and Scolari's lineup was two parallel lines.

In other words, Brazil's midfield and backline are in parallel positions. The aim is to ensure that Brazil can effectively cut the link between Germany's midfield and midfield, that is, they can control the area and space more effectively.

The parallel stations of the two lines ensure maximum cooperation with each other. The support for the left and right flanks is stronger, and it is considered the most difficult of all formations, and it can even be said that it is the least likely to be cut by the opponent, resulting in a disjointed balance tactic.

Of course, this is not to say that such tactics are completely without shortcomings, because of the parallel position, so often the attacking team only needs to concentrate on a certain point and make a key breakthrough, and often be able to break through a point. And then break down the opponent's entire defense, which is the disadvantage of parallel positions.

Scolari's calculations are loud and the Germans currently do not have a one-on-one breakthrough player with strong individual ability. So he dared to put the two lines in a parallel position with confidence. And then give the German team the strongest pressure.

But the downside is just as obvious, if the Germans have a way to break through their midfield and press. Then it can directly threaten their defence, and even break through their defence once again to form a threatening shot.

In this case, it would be foolish for the German team to continue to compete with the Brazilian team in the overall situation, so Yang Cheng asked all the players to concentrate the strength of the whole team at halftime and arrange the team's tactics, focusing on breaking through a certain point of the opponent, and breaking through the defensive suppression of the Brazilian team.

But the specific effect still depends on the process and progress of the game.

…………

…………

At the beginning of the second half, the German team obviously consciously wanted to strengthen a round of attack, and the Brazilian team began to respond to all changes with the same, hoping to continue to maintain the momentum of the first half, patiently drag the game down, and then wait for the German team to lose confidence and fighting spirit, and then make the final effort.

On the left side of the German team, Lahm also began to press forward more aggressively than before, participating in the attack, and Jérôme? Boateng consciously retreated into the box after Lahm's forward to ensure stability in the defence.

With Brazil's individual ability, if this team seizes the opportunity to play a counter-attack, it will be a big threat to the German defence, and in the current situation, any attack by the German team must be carried out under the condition of ensuring that their own defense is relatively stable and safe, otherwise, if the Brazilian team scores, the German team is really finished.

Polite? Bender is more likely to return to the front of the defensive line to form a protective area to ensure the safety of the defensive line, and Lahm's forward pressure also pulls the Brazilian defense to the left side of the midfield, and Schweinsteiger and Ozil also consciously focus on attacking and gouging tactics to this side.

In the 49th minute, Germany had a chance.

Mesut Ozil had the chance to pick up the ball around Brazil's two centre-mids, but he was immediately intercepted by two Brazilian centre-midsers, who pinched Ozil on the left and right.

Because Ozil retreated to get the ball, did not turn around, and directly took the ball to face his own goal, with his back to the Brazilian goal, so after he was intercepted with the ball, he neither chose to get rid of it, nor did he choose to turn around, but continued to dribble the ball directly to his own half, seemingly to get out of the opponent's defensive area.

Ozil's ability to take the ball and pass the ball has long been feared by Scolari, so he strictly ordered the players to block Ozil, so the defenders followed as soon as possible, but just when they were preventing Mesut from turning around and creating a threat anytime and anywhere, they saw Schweinsteiger sprinting quickly forward from Ramirez's side on the left side of the midfield.

When Ramirez realized that Ozil would pass the ball to Schweinsteiger, the ball had already passed in front of Schweinsteiger's sprint, and the piggy quickly sprinted forward, kicked the ball out, and then accelerated to catch up.

Playing in midfield, playing in wing-back, Schweinsteiger's dribbling skills were no bad, and he made his way past Brazil's midfield and quickly advanced to the opposition backline.

Thiago? Silva was very fast and blocked Schweinsteiger's path in the first place, and the Brazilian centre-back was not tall but very decisive and flexible. The card position is very precise. It happened to be blocked on Schweinsteiger's step, and the body made a contact, and the lower foot was clean and neat. Straight to cut off the ball.

The Brazilian centre-back's excellent positioning and defensive awareness immediately won the cheers of all the Brazilian fans in the stands, and the centre-back has become the anchor of the Brazilian backline today. Just for this decisive grab and card position, Thiago? Silva lives up to the name of the world's leading centre-back.

Standing on the sidelines and seeing Thiago? After Silva cut off Schweinsteiger's pass, a long pass was ready to find Hulk to counter-attack, but Hummels pushed the ball back into midfield in time and gave it to Sven? Bender, who passed to Bad Stuber, was able to defuse a Brazilian counterattack, and Yang Cheng sighed. Helpless.

"There was no good understanding and interaction between Ozil and Klose just now, and the distance was a little farther away, Thiago? Silva's kid is too tough. Gotta pull him away. Don't get into his defensive zone! ”

Benitez nodded, without one-on-one individual ability to steadily eat the opponent's powerful star. Yang Cheng adopts this way of running forward to drive the ball forward, which can also be said to be a last resort, but this is no better than a person, and it requires tacit cooperation from all sides.

If it was Messi or Kaka who took the ball just now, and directly took the ball to force a breakthrough from the middle, attracting two players from the opposing side, and directly threatening the opponent's defense, then the three strikers of the German team could run and pull without the ball in front, creating loopholes and threats, and the so-called iron wall of the Brazilian team would be completely finished.

But the German team does not have superstars, and can only rely on team cooperation, which requires tacit understanding and running-in.

…………

…………

"Let Mesut Ozil drop back, open up the distance between the midfield and the backline, and then use that space to create chances, this kid is really resilient!" Scolari only saw one attack from the German team and vaguely guessed Yang Cheng's thoughts.

It seems that unexpected changes are happening on the football field anytime and anywhere, and it seems that there are accidents all the time, but in fact, in the accident, there is always a great inevitability.

It's like the German team's attack just now, if Thiago? If Silva's top grab is not so ruthless, so decisive and accurate, then Schweinsteiger directly threatens the defense with the ball, which is bound to bring a threat to the Brazilian team's defense, and even directly threatens the Brazilian team's goal.

"Yang Cheng is ready to gamble, Ozil retreats, which is equivalent to pulling back the frontcourt organization and passers, he wants to make more use of the space behind Ramirez and others, and if we want to block this space, we have to adjust the defensive line, then it is easy for them to create loopholes!" Pereira also looked cautiously analytical.

The Brazilian team is curbing the German team's attack, and the German team wants to break free from the cage of the Brazilian team, but Yang Cheng is now making it clear that he wants to turn the previous all-out confrontation into today's local competition, breaking through a point on the Brazilian team's defense line to break down the entire defense line of the Brazilian team.

If the German team is in a certain area of Brazil's 32-meter zone, there is a balance of numbers, then with the German team's team cooperation and combat ability, it is entirely possible to create a threat, so to a certain extent, Yang Cheng is now pursuing how to create more such situations and opportunities.

"We don't have a choice!" Scolari is similarly frustrated by the current state of affairs.

If his targeted tactics put Yang Cheng in a dilemma before, then now Yang Cheng's adjustment also puts him in a dilemma, on the one hand, he wants to continue to maintain the pressure advantage in his own 32-meter area, continue to compress the space of Klose and Ozil, and ensure that the ball does not come to their feet easily.

But on the other hand, the German team let Ozil retreat so deeply, which is equivalent to inducing the Brazilian team's midfield defense to have to be correspondingly advanced, and the distance from the defense behind them will be widened, leaving a large gap, in this case, as long as someone can take advantage of this gap, then the Brazilian team will become dangerous.

Maybe someone said, don't you come back with Ozil, right?

The problem is not so simple, if you don't come back with Ozil, it is equivalent to giving him a chance to take the ball loosely, and once he is given such an opportunity, he will face the goal directly and attack head-on. His passing advantage will be on the spot.

So. At this moment, Scolari is also facing trade-offs and choices!

…………

…………

In the cross-play between the master and the master, there are actually not so many fancy moves and so-called tricks.

They know each other well. In every possible way, they all know the opponent's changes and threats, and they are all carrying out targeted tactics and arrangements. So it doesn't matter what those tricks are, they often go straight to the white-knuckle battle.

Scolari's choice didn't change the team's defence, he just trusted Thiago? Silva's individual ability, the Brazilian's outstanding individual defensive skills, as well as his excellent speed and explosiveness, allowed him to return to his zone as quickly as possible after the tackle, so Scolari gave him some freedom to go up.

Yang Cheng and Scolari's selection and adjustment do not matter whether they are smart or not, and it does not matter whether they are good or not. The key is to see what happens on the pitch and whether the players are able to make the most of the manager's adjustments.

It was still Ozil who got the ball, and it was still Schweinsteiger who stepped forward. But this time. Ramirez and Thiago? Silva teamed up again to trap Schweinsteiger and form a break. Thiago? Without the slightest hesitation, Silva rushed forward with the ball himself and played a counter-attack as fast as he could.

This counterattack by the Brazilian team came very quickly, very decisively and resolutely, Thiago? Silva dribbled quickly through midfield before slotting the ball to the feet of Brazil's attacking commander, Kaka.

Kaka stopped the ball steadily, but Sven? Bender, as always, stood in front of the defence, blocking Kaka's path and cutting off Kaka's forward direction into the box.

The reason why the Brazilian superstar is a superstar is because he can make the most reasonable moves according to the situation on the field, so after Kaka got the ball, he turned on one side and immediately soared his speed, dribbling quickly diagonally to the left side of the German team's defense. Bender stood behind him.

Polite? Bender was inferior to Kaka in speed, and the timing of the start was a little late, but he didn't choose to give up because of this, and let himself be blocked by Kaka, he chased after Kaka, kept harassing Kaka, and chased all the way to the left edge of the arc of his penalty area.

When Kaka anticipates Sven? Just as Bender and Bad Stuber were about to form a pack, he suddenly made a sudden stop and wanted to change direction and cut inside the top of the arc. Bender had no choice but to know that there was an open space between Bad Stuber and Hummels, and if Kaka was allowed to get a kick at the top of the arc at this time, it would be a direct threat.

Beep~~~~

The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and I saw the referee on duty walking over and heading towards Sven? Bender showed a yellow card and gave him a warning because he had just tripped the Brazilian to the ground with a man while Kaka was dribbling, giving him a direct free-kick.

"It's okay, Sven!" Schweinsteiger patted Sven apologetically? Bender's shoulders.

Honestly, Esven? Bender's strength, a person has to fight against a top superstar like Kaka, who has super personal ability, the pressure can be imagined, in this case, Sven? Bender's ability to choose to foul at a critical moment is actually a wise choice.

At the very least, the Brazilians didn't get an absolute chance to score, did they?

Polite? Bender's foul was committed in the middle of the penalty area, in a very good position, and the Brazilian striker Hulk had good free-kick skills, standing on the penalty spot, and it seemed that he should be the one who took the free-kick.

Since Robert? After Carlos, Juninho Jr., Ronaldinho and other free kick masters left the national team, the Brazilian team has a discontinuity in the free kick penalty player, and now there is only one Hulk who can get it, but compared with his predecessors, it is still somewhat inferior.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Neuer's gloved hands clapped together and shouted loudly.

Di Palma walked to Yang Cheng's side for the first time, leaned into his ear and muttered a few words, Yang Cheng waved his hand to Schweinsteiger and others who began to put up the human wall, signaling them to swing the human wall a little forward, close to Hulk, keep it tight, and don't show the gaps.

Hulk's free-kick approach is a bit similar to Adriano's and Real Madrid's Cristiano? Ronaldo is the kind of heavy gunner, this type of penalty taker may be powerful on long-range free kicks, but once the distance is close, when they start to pursue the arc, they will have problems.

Manuel Neuer moved quickly on the goal line, constantly looking at it from all angles, and finally settled down the middle, waiting for Hulk to take the free-kick.

Just see the striker, nicknamed by the fans as the Hulk, standing a few steps behind the ball, taking a deep breath, his eyes always fixed on the human wall? Bender's position, he had a hunch that if a powerful volley passed through here, it could go straight into the goal.

With the referee's whistle, Hulk rushed forward quickly, taking advantage of the inertia brought by this momentum, as soon as his right foot landed on the ground, his left foot was directly picked up, facing the ball that had just been placed steadily, and it was directly a powerful volley.

Everyone could hear the thud, and the ball burst out like a cannonball from Hulk's feet like a sharp arrow, almost at a straight angle, directly towards Sven? The area where Bend is located.

At this moment, if Sven? If Bender dodges the slightest sideways, the ball will pass through his area and directly threaten the goal guarded by Neuer behind him!
