"424 formation?"

"This guy really thinks of me."

Seeing that he had Aguero and Higuain, two center forwards, and Messi and Di Maria, two wingers, Chen Mo, who was still putting on the vest, suddenly stopped.

Although the 424 formation has a very poor reputation in modern football and is called the "god formation" by many people, in fact, the 424 formation has a great origin.

Pele had three World Cups, one in 1958, one in 1962, and one in 1970.

In the first two World Cups, the Brazilian team used a 424 formation, but in the 1966 World Cup, Brazil changed to 433, and then this World Cup, Brazil did not win the World Cup.

Of course, it seems a bit too stupid to attribute the problem of not winning the World Cup to the formation, but the miraculous thing is that in Pele's last World Cup in 1970, the Brazilian team played 424 again, and finally Pele won the third World Cup title.

Yes, Pele has used a 424 formation in all three World Cups!

However, with the development of the times, the 424 formation began to be gradually eliminated.

For no other reason.

Just look at the formation to see why.

424, this set of formations is two midfielders.

And modern football is either 442, or 433, or 4231.

Either way, there are at least three people in midfield.

Two-on-three, the offensive end is very difficult to play, but the real trouble is not the offensive end, not just the defensive end, but the combination of offense and defense.

The midfield is meant to be a tandem effect.

The midfield was suppressed, and even if there were ten strikers in front of him, it was useless because he couldn't get the ball at all.

The 424 formation is almost torture for their own midfielders.

When defending, you need to retreat to the middle and back of the formation to defend, and you need to organize the attack and guide the whole team during the ball holding stage.

What does this mean, add Habaibu together, and add another Yaya Toure.

Only a midfielder who has the technical ability of these four players can play the midfield of 424, or in other words, the effect of 424.

And it's not just about being strong in midfield.

Because there are only two players in the midfield, in the case of a disadvantage in numbers, even if Chen Mo is a fairy, it is impossible to stabilize the defense, so the team that plays 424 needs to have a very high finishing efficiency on the offensive end to avoid being hit by the opponent and counterattacking quickly!

424 needs a strong midfielder, as well as a strong striker!

And this is why Messi's status is above Pele after winning the World Cup.

Many people say that Pele is the first goal king in three World Cups, but in these three World Cups, none of Pele has reached the personal height of 86-year-old horse or 22-year-old Messi.

It's not that Pele is not strong, the main thing is that Brazil at that time did not give Pele a chance to move forward with weight at all.

How strong was Brazil back then?

The core of Brazil's first two World Cup winners, Didi, was the strongest midfielder of that era, and was considered by many to be the earliest midfield master in the history of world football, as well as the originator of the deciduous ball.

The centre-forward who scored six goals after two World Cup semi-finals.

The left foot is 6 centimeters shorter than the right, the birdie Garrincha who has lost only one game in 60 games for his country and won the best player of the World Cup in '62.

The left and right defenders who were selected for the best team of the 58 World Cup at the same time, D. Santos and J. Santos.

Plus Bailey.

These are just some of the more famous, and the horrors in Brazil at the time were far greater than that!

Brazil's first championship in '58, the best team was selected after the game, and Brazil scored seven of the eleven places, and the other four places that could be snatched from Brazil were two of the greatest players in the history of French football - Fontaine and Kopa, the all-time goalkeeper Yassin, and the Swedish legend Hamdan.

Brazil's second championship in '62, the best team was selected after the game, eleven places, and Brazil scored seven more.

In 70 years Pele won the third crown, and in the eleven places Brazil scored six again.

What is the concept?

Even in 02, which was infinitely touted by fans in the new century, Brazil, a three-R combination, only five people entered the best team of the World Cup that year!

Brazil in the Pele era was either the first in the world or the top three in the world in various positions!

Even the best midfielders and strikers in the world were in Brazil!

As a result, despite playing 424, Brazil did not lose much defense, and because the forward line is the top in the absolute sense, the offensive efficiency is also very high!

Speaking of which.

"Does it seem like we do look like Argentina?"

Thinking of this, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows strangely.

To be honest, they did have a bit of a resemblance to the Brazil team at the time, both of them were the top midfield configuration.

The midfielders are him Chen Mo and Xiao Ma Ge, and the forward line is Messi, Angel Aguero, Higuain.

Needless to say, Messi Di Maria is the king of the ball, the other is the top wing, and because of the earlier contact with the top game, Messi and Di Maria's strength is stronger than in the original timeline.

As for Aguero and Higuain, although they are not the top, they are also very strong.

Last season, because Torres joined Liverpool, Aguero, who was righted, ushered in the first small explosion of statistics in his career, with 19 goals in the league in a single season, ranking third in the La Liga scorer list.

And Higuain

Although many people only remember his soft feet in the 14-year final, this guy is actually very strong, in the original timeline in 09 Ronaldo fans called "Phnom Penh Ronaldo" Ronaldo went to Real Madrid, but that year Real Madrid's goalscorer king was not Ronaldo, but Higuain, and even he pressed Benzema to the bench, and won the La Liga Silver Boot, which was 5 goals less than Messi of Dream Three.

To put it simply, Argentina does have the strongest striker in the world, as well as the best midfielder in the world.

But

"I didn't expect to return to the national team, and I still have to worry about the full-backs."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo shook his head with a smile, put on his vest, and trotted on

Yes, Argentina's problems are similar to Arsenal's right now, they are all about not being strong enough at full-back.

Argentina's current full-backs are Monzon and Zabaleta.

The former is the inferior player of the bottom team of the big five leagues.

The latter moved to Manchester City in the summer window this year and is worth only 9 million euros.

The full-backs are not strong enough, which is fatal, especially for teams that play attacking football.

Very simple logic.

On the right side is Messi, and Messi's style is to cut inside.

Let's not talk about the cliché full-backs putting on a pinning down defender.

Another point is that when Messi cuts the top of the arc from right to left, he will drive the defender to adduct, so the entire right side will actually be vacant, and at this time, the fullback needs to go up and get this open space to send crosses.

The right side requires a full-back to cross the bottom, and the left side is similar.

On the left flank is Di Maria, although Di Maria is a left-footed player, and he can only go down to the bottom. However, when Di Maria went down the flanks to attract defenders, the rib area between the left and central flanks was exposed.

At this time, either the left back pressed to the rib area to contain it, or the left back pushed to the midfield to liberate Chen Mo, and let Chen Mo go forward to press the ribs like pushing a box.

To put it simply, whether it is on the left or the right, if Argentina wants to play 424 well, the wingers must have very strong offensive ability and awareness, and these two points

"Forget it, it's not a big problem."

"Zanetti should be back in the World Cup, and now the main thing is to play the midfield attack clearly."

Argentina is not yet complete.

No way, although there are 3 overage places in the Olympics, Zanetti and those guys are all old rookies.

This kind of season just after the end of the national team competition, the club was worried that they would be at risk of injury, so they did not release them.

The back line may undergo a big change, so Chen Mo's attention is also completely focused on the frontcourt offense, and in this way, the substitute players who practice will be in pain.

Soon, as the old horse whistled, Higuain knocked the ball back to Chen Mo directly in the center circle.

No surprise, the ball was only halfway rolled, and the blue team's double midfielders under the 433 system flew directly to him.

Bag clip!

Chen Mo is the core of the red team, or the 424 formation, restricting Chen Mo, the midfield of the red team can't turn up!

And because of the 424 formation, Chen Mo has fewer points to the ball, Chen Mo is likely to choose to protect the ball, and then wait for them to find a chance to share the ball after they come up!

This will help Pony get more space to get the ball.

The idea is right, alas.

"It's naïve."

"What?!"

Without any hesitation, facing the ball rolling in front of him, under the somewhat surprised gaze of the blue team's double midfielders, Chen Mo did not protect the ball, but directly made a right-swept pass with his left foot, and the ball went directly to the feet of the right winger Messi!

Crossed the ball, but the ball rolled to the feet of right winger Messi!

Yes, Messi is a right winger, but he did not press up, but hung in the area a little above Chen Mo's right side.

There is no doubt that Messi also knows that the pressure on Chen Mo under the 424 system is very high, and this is why Chen Mo did not object to Lao Ma playing 424.

Because Messi is not only a wide blaster, but also a playmaker!

There's nothing tangled, Chen Mo stepped forward as soon as he sent the pass!

The blue team's double midfielder pressed forward to the bag, Chen Mo stepped forward to the middle, just a blink of an eye, Chen Mo passed through the middle of the two, and at the same time, the pass sent by Messi also rolled in front of Chen Mo just right!

"Wowo! My tactical thinking is really fine! Sure enough, only by being unexpected in this way can we test the style compatibility between them! ”

"Of course, your decision was too wise!"

Seeing this scene, on the sidelines, Maradona clenched his fist excitedly and asked the assistant coach to [ask for credit].

For the excited old horse, the assistant coach was naturally full of smiles, but after lowering his head, he was speechless and pulled the corners of his mouth.

What the hell deliberately tests the style of the players, to put it bluntly, your tactical layout ability is not good, and you can't arrange too careful tactics!

The assistant complained silently, but he was right.

Lao Ma didn't tell the players in advance about the tactical play, and didn't announce that he was going to play 424 until the start of the training match, which was to test whether the players had tacit understanding and whether the original style of play was suitable, making it seem to be unfathomable, but in fact, it was just that Lao Ma had no coaching ability.

Lao Ma coached the A-League Mandiu team in 1994, and after a dismal record of 1 win, 6 draws and 5 losses, the Mandiu team was also relegated to the second division. In 1995, he coached the athletic team, with 2 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, and was dismissed again. Then until he took charge of Argentina this year, no team asked him to coach.

But fortunately, Lao Ma is a little crazy, but not stupid, he also learned a lot from Pekerman before taking over the team, and finally summed it up in one sentence - set the framework, and then hand the ball to Chen Mo.

And now it seems that the effect is indeed very good, and the chemistry between Chen Mo and Messi is still there!

Lao Ma's old face on the sidelines was about to smile like a chrysanthemum, and Chen Mo on the field naturally didn't know all this.

Messi's through ball was just right in advance, and Chen Mo just passed through the crack, and the ball came to him.

There was no hesitation, looking at the back of the blue team about five meters in front of him, Chen Mo was directly a little violent!

The instep of his right foot topped the ball, and at the same time his left foot kicked the ground, and the whole person slammed forward, just a blink of an eye, Chen Mo rushed to the back waist!

"I'm going to the top!"

"Here's your chance!"

Looking at Chen Mo, who rushed towards his own back waist with great momentum, he understood that his teammates couldn't prevent it, and the back of the blue team, which had a good awareness, was ready to go up for the first time, and wanted to steal at the moment when Chen Mo passed the back waist, but at the moment when he was on the front, Aguero, the right center on the front line, had a flash in his eyes, and retreated to the right rear for the first time, giving Chen Mo a passing route!

"Beautiful!"

Great running position!

Pass the ball to Aguero in front of the right, then accelerate to rush past the left side of the midfield, and then receive Aguero's pass to single out the goalkeeper!

It's a perfect one-by-two chance to hit the wall!

The moment he saw Aguero running, Chen Mo immediately wanted to play the ball, but at this moment, Chen Mo, who caught Higuain standing in the corner of his left eye, frowned, and his movements began to slow down.

Aguero pulled towards the right back, but the left center Higuain didn't understand his intentions!

Higuain didn't move!

And his position is exactly behind the left side of the back waist, on the route where Chen Mo is plugged forward after the ball!

Seemed to feel Chen Mo's frown, Higuain immediately reacted that something bad was going on and immediately pulled to the left, but

"It's a pity."

The opportunity to attack was just one or two moments, and Higuain didn't react at the first time, and the attack had already failed.

Now in this situation, Chen Mo can't pass the ball to Aguero, because Aguero's only passing route is him Chen Mo, but he Chen Mo can't cut in now.

In this case, Aguero will be caught as soon as he gets the ball.

Now there is only one way to attack, that is, he Chen Mo relies on his personal ability to pass the back waist.

Chen Mo is sure that he can get by, but the problem is that it doesn't make sense.

It's a question of risk-benefit ratio.

No one can guarantee that their success rate is 100 percent, or even 50 percent.

The success rate of passing people is far less than hitting the wall and the success rate of the two-to-one, and once Chen Mo fails when trying to get past the back midfield, because his position is too high, then Argentina will only be left with a small brother in the midfield when facing a counterattack.

The stakes are too great to be worth betting.

There was no hesitation, in the blink of an eye, in the eyes of the blue team's back and the central defender who came out of the top a little confused, Chen Mo immediately slowed down, pulled back with a penalty with his left foot, and caught up with the blue team's double midfielders chasing after him, and swept the ball with his right foot to Di Maria on the left side.

"Didn't attack?"

"Is it releasing water?"

"I guess I've been resting for too long, and my state hasn't fully adjusted."

Seeing this scene, many substitute players wearing vests on the sidelines, as well as reporters holding cameras by the barbed wire, were all talking.

Only the old horse shook his head with emotion after taking a deep look at Chen Mo's running back: "It's really a monster that is even more terrifying than I imagined." ”

Ordinary people couldn't see what Chen Mo meant by stopping the attack this time, how could he not see it?

Chen Mo is now a monster in human skin in his eyes!

Chen Mo didn't know what Lao Ma thought, and he wasn't interested in knowing.

After the failure of the attack just now, Higuain's face was a little apprehensive, but Chen Mo didn't blame anything, but began to consciously go to Higuain more to seek cooperation.

The results are outstanding.

After all, Higuain is a genius who can play the main force in Real Madrid at the age of twenty, and the mistake just now is mainly because he has not played with Chen Mo, and the brain waves did not match for a while, and now with more and more small cooperation with Chen Mo, more and more touches, Higuain's state has begun to get better and better, and the running range is getting bigger and bigger.

Yes, the range of runs is getting bigger and bigger.

Higuain and Little Pony are two extremes.

Brother Xiao Ma played in the forward midfield when he debuted, and as a result, he kicked all the way from the front to the central midfielder, then from the central midfielder to the back midfielder, and finally went directly to play the central defender.

Higuain also made his debut as a midfielder, but after playing for a short time, he switched to winger and then moved from winger to central striker.

Forwards, wingers, and center forwards have all played, and Higuain is technically a versatile player in the frontcourt, but he has not yet developed fulcrum ability.

But that's enough.

The average height of Argentina's four forwards is less than 1.8 meters, and they can't walk high-altitude balls at all, mainly because of the ground pass, and the ground pass is more of a test of running and awareness.

These points, Higuain is very good.

And as time passed bit by bit, seeing that Higuain's state began to pick up, Chen Mo no longer "opened a small stove", but used constant running and passing to try to completely connect the four forwards.

The effect is not particularly good.

Yes, it doesn't work out particularly well.

No way, this is the problem of the national team, the players are all different clubs, and they have very little time to play together on weekdays, and the tacit understanding is not enough.

The tacit understanding between Chen Mo and Messi has not been affected much, like the cooperation between Di Maria, Aguero and Messi is not as smooth as when he played the Copa America before, not to mention the addition of a Higuain who was not familiar with him before.

It's a fantasy to try to grind out the offense in just one game.

However, Chen Mo is not in a hurry, it is only mid-to-late June, and the Olympic Games are in early August, he is confident that he can use this month to pull up the attack!

At that time, the world will once again feel the reign of terror of Brazil's four World Cups and three Hercules Cups!
