ChineseHearing Aragonés' question, Begiristain immediately responded, "Yes, it's nothing." First of all, he suggested that we buy a third goalkeeper because he didn't think there were enough two goalkeepers and there was likely to be a problem. However, as we have all seen, Barcelona still only have Valdés and Pinto, without a third goalkeeper, and they are playing very well. ”

This point does not explain any tactical ideas, but the idea of building a team is inconsistent. Mourinho has seen the collapse of Chelsea and sees that Chelsea's two goalkeepers are still not enough, and he believes that one goalkeeper is not enough, two is not enough, and it is better to have three to suit the requirements of a strong team. But I have to say that goalkeeper injuries, after all, are not very common, Barcelona's goalkeepers have been two so far, and it is not a big deal.

"Secondly, he suggested that we buy Ram, followed by McConn. And what we bought was Alves. He suggested that the full-backs should not be given too much freedom of movement, but our full-backs had the most freedom of movement in the team. In addition, in terms of defenders, he suggested that we buy Garay of Racing Santander, and in the front, he asked us to buy Frank Lampard, and asked to keep Marquez and Deco, and he thought that Eto'o was the absolute main force, and if he couldn't keep Eto'o, he would have to buy Drogba......"

"It sounds very different from Barcelona right now." Aragonés spoke.

"It's a big difference. Jose Mourinho and Barcelona have opposite football philosophies, and our thinking is very different. The things that he identifies with, the solid defense, the back-up attack, the counter-attack of the frontcourt players, in our opinion, are all secondary things. And the things we focus on, the passing and receiving coordination, the control of the football, are all things that he doesn't like. Jose Mourinho and Barcelona don't fit together conceptually, and we certainly can't use his stuff. Which claims are just ignorant hype by the media. ”

I'm afraid it's not the media hype, but the hype of some unscrupulous agent. In this regard, Aragonés said in his heart, and, in the final analysis, what is not in line with the Barcelona concept, is not it not in line with the Cruyff concept?

Mourinho's transformation of Barcelona is more akin to the transformation of Chelsea. He hopes to strengthen Barcelo by tidying up his backline, strengthening his midfield impact and using his centre-forwards. However, such an idea is precisely what Cruyff hates the most. The choice he made was Pep Guardiola, and it happened that Guardiola's tactics were in line with his own ideas, and it was indeed nonsense to say that Guardiola copied Mourinho's CD.

Moreover, how many things can be on a CD, there are thousands of changes on the field, and it is not always possible to cover them all in one CD.

Moreover, there was another important thing that also surprised Aragonés a little.

"Mourinho didn't mention Messi?"

"There's not a lot of detailed planning."

In this way, Aragonés understands something: Barcelona wants to bring out Messi, and cultivating Ballon d'Or winners by themselves has always been one of Barcelona's business strategies. However, Messi's playing characteristics are exactly the type that Mourinho dislikes the most, although Messi has strong strength, but Mourinho still does not intend to use him as a core, and even in Mourinho's tactical planning, Messi's status is not as good as Eto'o, which is probably one of the reasons why Barcelona gave up on him.

Mourinho's ideas can't be said to be wrong, but they are really not in line with Barcelona. If Cruyff is not here, let Mourinho come to coach, maybe he will be able to toss some results, but since Cruyff is here, then Mourinho naturally has no chance.

"Pep's tactics do have a lot to learn from. His use of Alves was an almost complete replica of Sevilla's tactics. His offensive and defensive requirements in the front court are also largely borrowed from the tactics of Roma and Manchester United, as well as the tactics of the Spanish national team. It's just that because the Spanish national team has Senna, but Barcelona does not, Pep's tactics rely more on the transmission of the backfield to maintain stability. The Spanish national team has Villa and Torres, but Barcelona does not, so they have to rely more on Messi...... Pep is a very smart guy and he has his own football philosophy, which is very close to Cruyff's. But he hasn't been away from football for as long as Mr. Cruyff has been, and he hasn't changed enough, and it's rare that he's able to absorb the best of the big teams around him and make use of it. Moreover, many of his things outside of tactics are admirable, he has improved Barcelona's diet and team medical system, and changed the training content, so that Messi and others have greatly reduced injuries, which is also extremely beneficial for Barcelona's title race. ”

Aragonés nodded silently as he heard these words. It's true that Pep Guardiola isn't a stunning talent in terms of tactical ability, but he does have his own unique qualities. To say that he is a genius in commanding on the spot, looking at people's eyes, and some meaningless pursuit of artistic football and off-field problems, he can hardly be called a genius, but he has his own football philosophy, and at the same time can absorb and tolerate the tactical advantages of others, learn and apply it, and integrate it, in this regard, Mourinho and Cruyff are not as good as him - those two people are too strong to tolerate others, and they do not have such a flexible spirit.

However, it is this spirit of flexibility that makes Barcelona stronger. It's just that, even so, he still has a lot of problems. After all, as a new coach, a lack of experience is inevitable, and compared to Carlo Ancelotti, too little coaching experience is his biggest problem. The on-the-spot command is not good, the response measures are not enough, and these problems are also his inevitable injuries.

This made Aragonés also cheer up: I don't know who is stronger when Barcelona and Real Madrid meet like this? ——

These guys are a lot tougher to deal with than they were last season.

This is Zhao Yaning, who quickly had this feeling after meeting Barcelona. Compared to last season, Barcelona had a new mental outlook, which he expected. However, what is surprising is that Barcelona has not only improved a lot mentally, but also improved a lot in the tactics of the game. Not long after the start of the game, Zhao Yaning felt a sluggish feeling that he had rarely encountered since playing this season, and it was obvious that Barcelona had caused problems for Real Madrid with the way they played.

The opponent's defense is much stronger than last season's defense. Such an increase in strength can be seen by anyone with eyes.

But where is the ascension? Zhao Yaning was also a little puzzled. His biggest feeling is that the opponent's defense is more than a notch stronger than last season, but Barcelona did not adopt a very fierce front-court pressing counter-attack, and their players' physical fitness cannot afford to play that kind of counter-robbery, so how do they defend?

When he encounters trouble in the game, it is Zhao Yaning's habit to rely on his own brain to think and solve the problem. It's the same this time. Zhao Yaning quickly thought of something: in the final analysis, Barcelona's football concept also relies on all-attack and all-defense, and since there is a problem, we must go to all-attack and all-defense football to find the answer. Since the opponent does not rely on pressing football, then they can only rely on one defensive method: diamond cutting.

The so-called diamond cut is a theoretical defensive mode: when a player attacks with the ball, his pass can only be 180 degrees in front of him, which is a threatening attack, and if he keeps passing back, then he will not be able to launch an attack. Then, the angle of the pass that needs to be stopped when he is attacking is 180°. If the defender lets one person choose to intercept the ball right away, even if they can't grab the ball, they can at least block the opponent's 90° frontal passing angle, making it difficult to get the ball. At this time, the passing is only left with 45° passing space on each wing, and if there is one person on one side, all the passing angles can be sealed - relying on the position of three people, even if there is not much physical confrontation, the opponent can not pass successfully. At this time, the opponent's choice can only be a long pass, and behind the three people, there is another person who sweeps and intercepts the pass, so as to achieve the purpose of completely blocking the opponent's pass - this practice, that is, relying on the diamond-shaped four-person position, forming a diamond-shaped cut that intercepts all the opponent's passes. This kind of thing has always been quite theoretical, Michels created it, but not too many people have used it, and it is not until today that Zhao Yaning saw it in Barcelona.

Michels's 433 position originally paid great attention to such triangular and diamond-shaped standing rules, and such tactics could only be imitated by a team like Barcelona that played 433 all year round. Moreover, the diamond cut requires each defender to have a certain defensive ability, and this is only possible in a country like Spain, which likes to develop an all-round midfielder, to best fulfill the tactical requirements.

That's how Barcelona play now. Zhao Yaning feels that the offense is not smooth, the biggest problem is not that his breakthrough is not effective, or he can't hold the ball, but that the opponent's defensive passing work is very good, after facing Barcelona, he feels that his passing can no longer be as smooth as before, and receiving the ball is not as easy as before: in football, the passing rate has dropped by a notch, which is enough to make a team's attack completely change, Barcelona does not rely on the ball at the opponent's feet, but on the diamond-cut encirclement of many people, The defense was done.

And Zhao Yaning also had to sigh that Guardiola did a good job: such a tactic requires everyone to run hard and defend hard to complete. Even if the average person knows this tactic, it is difficult to make the players play like this. After all, everybody's on defense, which is a drain and very few big players are willing to do that. Although Guardiola relies on his status as a meritorious player, it has to be said that he has done this job very well, and Barcelona is not to mention how to play now, just this mental outlook is not the same as last season. This style of play, without crazy pressing, has a lot less physical exertion, and relying on interception and defense can save them a lot of physical strength, which is also a great reason why they have an advantage in long-distance running in the season.

The opponent gets stronger, then it's even more exciting. And after understanding the characteristics of the opponent's playing style, Zhao Yaning immediately thought of how to deal with the opponent in his mind.

If there is a problem of all-out attack and defense, then it is none other than the importance of the backfield in the backfield defense: as the most important point of the diamond cut, and at the same time the last point in the inverted triangle pass, the role of this point is the role of the core and soul. Then, since you want to defeat the opponent's tactics, the easiest way is to directly press this point.

Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is the best way. For Barcelona, their midfield position is their seven-inch hole. In that case, then, try it yourself and get their dead hole out of trouble to get the cat fluttering Chinese
