The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 714 Powerless
The wave defense has been well practiced and used by Tottenham Hotspur, but the wave offense has been trying and groping, because offense is more about disorder than defense, and it emphasizes a feeling and a creativity .

But the core concept is very clear, that is, it is possible to launch a violent offensive like a torrential rain, but also a gentle offensive with gentle wind and drizzle, but the very important point is that the wave attack emphasizes continuity, which is a wave after wave. A wave of continuous attacks, not a one-shot deal.

Especially when the ball reaches the frontcourt, quickly launch an offensive if you have a chance, but if you have no chance, you must first hold the ball, and then slowly look for opportunities, because once you have no chance, you reluctantly make an adventurous move Gambling passing, the offensive effect will be very bad, let alone a goal, the ball will change hands at any time, causing the opponent to fight back.

Ramsey received a pass from Kyle Walker from the right. The pass was very comfortable and well placed. Ramsey had no problem stopping the ball, but the problem was that the ball was in the air for too long. After a long time, Ram quickly realized that after Ramsey stopped the ball, he was close to the body for the first time, so Ramsey chose to protect the ball with his back.

Is the opportunity gone?

No, what Tottenham Hotspur are best at is creating offensive opportunities, and if the so-called wave attack is just moving from the right to the left, what else is there to praise and study?

Marcelo rushed forward immediately after Kyle Walker passed the ball, because he knew that Kyle Walker would actively retreat to the defense line after the pass, so his forward penetration would not cause damage to the defense line. threaten.

The Brazilian moved forward close to the left line. When Ramsey was protecting the ball with his back, he rushed past Ramsey quickly and created a problem for Ramsey in a short time. Against Marcelo or Ramsey?
On the surface, Ramsey has the ball and Marcelo has no ball. It seems that the Brazilian is not a threat, but Rams knows very well that he is not sure that he can stop Ramsey's pass to Marcelo, especially But when he saw that Pirlo was also approaching, even if Ramsey couldn't pass the ball, he just needed to hit Pirlo back, and the latter made a long diagonal pass to find Marcelo directly, and the latter could pass from the side.

This kind of pass close to the goal, as long as the landing is well done, the threat is still very great.

Ram responded in an instant. He called out Gustavo, Schweinsteiger and other teammates, let them get stuck, and turned around to follow Marcelo. This is him as a right back responsibility.

But as soon as Ram went, Pirlo called out the direction of two o'clock, and Ramsey immediately turned to the right, that is, facing the center. As soon as he turned around, before Schweinsteiger and other defensive players approached, he turned right He hit a curve ball with his foot, and the landing point was just to the right of the top of the arc in the penalty area.

The whole process seems to be very slow, but in fact it is a very critical period of adjustment.

Bayern Munich's defense line was originally slanted towards Ribery's side, but Kyle Walker suddenly made a diagonal pass from the left. After Ramsey got the ball and Marcelo advanced forward at high speed, Bayern Munich's defense line must be oriented towards Ribery. Moved on the left to deal with potential threats on the left, but Ramsey suddenly made a diagonal pass and transferred the ball to the right of the midfield.

During this continuous lateral transfer, Jerome Boateng made a mistake. The distance between him and Cavani was a bit wide, and Ramsey's cross was also very clever. Behind Jerome Boateng and Cavani.

Then there was Jerome Boateng's powerless side, he was desperately trying to rush to the defensive position, but Cavani made a head-on attack, didn't even need to take off, just headed directly at the incoming ball, and hit it Around the penalty spot, Messi, who was still ambushing outside the penalty area just now, quickly followed up at this time, forming a single shot.

Neuer has a good grasp of the situation in the penalty area. Although this goalkeeper is young, he is very capable and bold. When he saw Cavani's header hit back, he immediately realized that the defense line was broken. So he made an astonishing judgment in an instant, that is to attack.

In fact, when Messi rushed up to hit the goal directly, Neuer had already opened his arms and rushed forward, the angle of the shot was blocked, and Messi's reaction was indeed fast enough, and he was a left-footed player. With his left foot, he gently changed the action that was supposed to be a shot into a poke, and poked the ball to Neuer's right side.

The ball passed under Neuer's arm almost sticking to the turf. The German goalkeeper reacted quickly enough and wanted to defend after an emergency stop. However, Messi's poke was in a hurry, so the strength was not in place, and it was a bit too big .

But the Argentine started very fast, and he was also very flexible. After rushing up quickly, he grabbed the ball before it went out of the baseline, and made an awkward shot with his right foot. After finishing, the whole person took advantage of the trend After turning half a circle, he fell on the turf and rolled over. Obviously this movement was too difficult and his body lost his balance.

The ball was padded by Messi, and it flew past the right post, hit the inside of the left post, and hit the goal line.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

All the fans in the North Stand of the entire Allianz Stadium rushed out of their seats, all of them uttered deafening shouts, shouting Messi's name, and each of them obviously became extremely excited, extremely excited. excitement.

"1:0, No.30 and two minutes into the first half, Tottenham Hotspur finally scored first!"

"Goal from Leo Messi!!!"

I saw Messi kneeling after rolling twice on the grass. As soon as he heard the deafening cheers from the stands, the whole Allianz Stadium seemed like a volcanic eruption, as if even the ground was shaking. Realizing that he scored a goal, he turned his head and saw that the ball was in the goal line.

For a moment, he jumped up excitedly from the ground, and quickly rushed to the North Stand, clenched his fists along the way, kept opening his mouth wide and let out roars, and when he rushed to the bottom of the North Stand, raised With his left hand, he first gave a thumbs up to the stands, but quickly put the thumb in his mouth, making a gesture of sucking a pacifier.

"It's so cute. Is this a well-thought-out celebration?" The on-site commentator obviously didn't know the specific meaning of this action. Except for the Tottenham Hotspur players, Ye Qiu and others, there was no one there. I know what this action means, but the camera still captures pictures of Messi's family and girlfriend in the stands.

Antonella was obviously moved by Messi's celebration, covering his face as if he was sobbing.

"A very, very good attack from Tottenham Hotspur, we just said that Tottenham Hotspur used Cavani from the two wings to cooperate, this has happened several times, but this time it has changed. The way, Messi and Franck Ribery dribbled the ball inside before, but this time it was Ramsey crossing the penalty area to find Cavani's header. Although the way is different, the effect is very obvious, that is, to attack Bayern Munich. fatal weakness!"

Both Budstuber and Jerome Boateng have weaknesses and deficiencies in air control. Among them, Budstuber is best at assisting defense and delivering the ball, but he has obvious weaknesses in high balls. Jerome Boateng Aten's advantage is physical fitness, but his sense of position is relatively poor, and his attention is often not concentrated, and he is prone to mistakes when dealing with some complicated scenes.

When they played Dortmund before, they made a lot of mistakes when defending Lewandowski, which led to the latter's hat-trick, and now Jerome Boateng is still having problems defending Cavani .

"Before this game, it was revealed by the media that Heynckes was hesitant about whether to continue to trust the two young central defenders in Moschchuk last season, but in the end he chose to continue trusting Badstuber And Jerome Boateng, because he believes that this pair of central defenders can ensure that Bayern Munich's midfield has a stable possession of the ball."

"But there is a point to get the ball, but the weakness has also been exposed, and that is the anti-high ball."

"Not only Jerome Boateng and Badstuber, but Lahm and Contento also have problems with high ball defense on the wings. We have also seen Cavani consciously move to the wing more than once. It’s worth Heynckes’ caution to compete for the long pass from the backcourt, after all, we’re already one goal behind!”

In fact, there is another level of problem that many people have not noticed, and that is Robben.

As the number one star in the Bayern Munich team, Robben has indeed performed quite well after joining the Bundesliga, but the problem is that he almost never participates in defense.

A very important reason why Lahm was so passive when Marcelo moved forward just now was that Robben did not follow back.

Don't underestimate this retracement. If Robben comes back, even if he just returns to the midfield, Schweinsteiger can quickly return to the defense. After Ram went to follow Marcelo, Ramsey is still the same. Will be contained, at least there is no way to cross as easily as just now.

Of course, if you can retreat with Marcelo and complete a handover with Ram, let Ram follow Marcelo and Robben defend Ramsey, I believe the effect will be better.

But Robben didn't actively return to defense, or even didn't return to defense, which put Ram into a very passive situation.

Tottenham Hotspur's defense actually has a little targeted arrangement, which is to focus on clamping Thomas Muller's left side, Kyle Walker has always maintained a close connection with the two central defenders, and Robben's On the left, Marcelo's position is relatively forward, and the focus is to contain Robben's inside cut.

In the opening of Bayern Munich and more than half an hour in the first half, Robben shot the most times in almost all the chances he got, but without exception, all of them were volleys, either when his body lost his balance. It is a hasty shot when being restrained by a defensive player, and the effect is very bad.

One little-known detail is that in the past week, when Tottenham Hotspur focused on rehearsing offensive and defensive confrontations, Ye Qiu consciously arranged for Hazzard to deal with Marcelo, and he specifically asked Hazzard to deal with Marcelo. Zade cuts inside instead of bottoming out. The reason is very simple. Robben basically cuts inside at the right winger position.

Hazard's dribbling and speed have many similarities with Robben, so using him in a one-on-one confrontation with Marcelo will undoubtedly help the Brazilian left back get used to Robben, and Haza The more difficult thing about Derby Robben is that the Belgian is left-footed, while Robben is only left-footed.

This kind of targeted training arrangement even went to the familiar field training at the Allianz Arena, but many people did not notice it.

In the game, Marcelo was obviously more confident in adapting to Robben's rhythm and speed, as well as his emergency stop and inside cut.

"It's troublesome now!"

In the coaching bench of the home team at the Allianz Arena, the right-hand assistant Hermann said to Heynckes in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

This is a very experienced assistant coach. He has served as an assistant coach in Leverkusen for a long time. When Leverkusen was king of Sanya, Hermann was already an important member of the team. Went to Nuremberg, but after Heynckes took over Leverkusen, he accepted the invitation, returned to Leverkusen, and then followed Heynckes to Bayern Munich.

Three or 40 years of football career told him that the situation has become clear so far in the game.

Tottenham Hotspur, a strong team with a very balanced offense and defense, often has more choices and changes in the game, while Bayern Munich is now facing a dilemma, because it is difficult for them to control the ball on the one hand. , Without possession of the ball, their offense will not be characteristic.

You must know that Bayern Munich is not a counter-attacking team, and more importantly, Bayern Munich's defense has a very obvious weakness and deficiency, that is, anti-high ball.

There used to be Lucio and Van Buyten, but as Van Buyten gradually faded out, neither Badstuber nor Jerome Boateng showed much competitiveness in the high ball, at least At the central defender level, they are considered unqualified, and both of them are tall, but they are both flawed in defending high balls.

This is also the reason why Heynckes was hesitant to use Moshchuk last season before the game. Although the latter is not tall, his defense is more stable, and he is better at grabbing and blocking. With him, Badschuk Bale and Jérôme Boateng can drop back and fill in to help.

But in the end, Heynckes chose Badstuber and Jerome Boateng as partners because of his prudent considerations, because he first considered the team's ability to secure possession of the ball steadily.

But the game has progressed to the present, and the situation has completely exceeded their plan.

"Tottenham Hotspur have changed too much. Their players are more tactically resilient. They can defend when retracted and attack when extended. Such a team is the most headache!" Heynckes shook his head and sighed.

As Sacchi said, all great teams are balanced teams that can both attack and defend.

The current Tottenham Hotspur is that they have weaknesses, shortcomings and shortcomings, but when you want to take advantage of their weaknesses, shortcomings and shortcomings, they often only need to make some local adjustments in details, It will be able to block you, and may even use your adjustments to create murderous intentions.

Another point is that Tottenham Hotspur's staffing is too reasonable.

The combination of Thiago Silva and Kompany can be called the first combination in today's football. Around them, they have built the most outstanding defensive line in today's football. They are called Chelsea's Trigaka by the outside world. Navarro and Carvalho, after Manchester United's Nemanja Ferdinand, a pair of golden partners reappeared in football.

These two players are very complementary, but they are both very comprehensive. Thiago Silva is almost weak in defense against high balls, but Kompany's strength is in defense against high balls. After many years of cooperation, the two players have also cultivated A very deep tacit understanding allows them to switch defensive formations and formations at will during the game.

It is worth noting that Tottenham Hotspur’s central defender reserves are very strong, and the two teenagers, Nastasic and Varane, are also very favored by experts. With time, they may be able to successfully take over the hole. Pani and Thiago Silva's class.

The combination of Ramsey, Vidal and Pirlo in the midfield has both offense and defense, and both soft and hard.

Ribery, Cavani and Messi in the frontcourt are also an offensive and defensive combination, especially Cavani, this player can disrupt the opponent's defense, and Ribery and Messi are also actively engaged in counter-attack .

From front to back, Tottenham Hotspur's entire tactical system is very compact and very tight. It is almost difficult for you to find an obvious weakness and deficiency. Newcastle had finally caught the loophole of the single midfielder before, but it can be used. Who is the team that should attack this loophole?

Even a team with such strong offensive power as Barcelona was slaughtered by nine goals in two rounds. Who dares to say that they can challenge Tottenham Hotspur?Who dares to say that he can compete with Tottenham Hotspur?
"It's not easy for a head coach to train a great team with both offense and defense in his lifetime, but Ye Qiu has trained three teams in just a few years. The combination of different offensive and defensive teams is really admirable!"

During the Ajax period, Ye Qiu showed his sharpness and focused on attacking, but after arriving at Chelsea, he gradually matured. Using the huge funds provided by Abramovich as backing, he introduced a set of offense and defense that was very balanced. It is a nearly perfect team combination that is still talked about by countless fans.

That is, Ye Qiu back then, the solid foundation laid for Chelsea is still nourishing Chelsea even now.

But after switching to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu once again showed his magical skills, training a Tottenham Hotspur team that is not only adapted to the Premier League, but also very delicate and full of creativity. Two consecutive championships is the best evaluation and affirmation of this team, and it is bound to be recorded in history.

But in a blink of an eye, some of the superstars in the team were sold and invested in rebuilding, but in just one or two years, the current offensive and defensive team was more balanced, more resilient, and more varied. Tottenham Hotspur, both soft and hard.

Even Heynckes has to admire Ye Qiu, because this is also his greatest wish and hope.

Today's Tottenham Hotspur team reminds Heynckes of the Juventus team led by Lippi that he met when he was coaching Real Madrid. The difference is that Ye Qiu is more inclined to Offensively, but one thing that's so typical of both teams is the amazing offensive-defensive balance.

At that time, Juventus reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons. The team gathered superstars such as Zidane, Davis, Del Piero, Deschamps, etc. Now, Tottenham Hotspur also gathered including Messi, Ribery, Cavani, Pirlo and other superstars, the strength of the two teams is very, very good.

Heynckes defeated Juventus with a flash of inspiration from Mijatovic, but now Bayern, can anyone do this?
