Super Marshal

I still remember that when Gao Han was coaching Inter Milan, when Corvicciano taught many Italian coaches, some students asked whether they faced Inter Milan’s pass-and-control play, in addition to guarding against death. There is no other solution.

This was a very popular topic at the time, because there was no Barcelona Dream Team at that time, and Inter Milan's pass-and-control play was unique in European football, even Rijkaard's Barcelona was inferior.

Gao Han clearly remembered that Guardiola was also on the scene at the time.

To this question, Gao Han answered positively, no.

He believes that there is no flawless tactics in this world. The so-called tactics must be trade-offs, and no matter how meticulous the tactics, a team's lineup configuration will definitely have problems, so it is impossible to be unsolvable.

At best, it can be said that the answer to this puzzle itself will have a high threshold.

At that time, Gao Han gave three requirements. First, the opponent must have a unified tactical idea and be good at high position, press and oppress.

If you don’t take a high position to press, it is tantamount to giving possession of the ball to your opponent. Only 30%, or even less than 30% of the ball, is destined to be strictly guarded, and there is no other way. .

Therefore, if you don't want to guard against it, you can only push and oppress at a high position.

And everyone knows that football tactics show up to now, although high position press and oppression are not new, but the requirements for a team are very high, especially the game thinking and tactical execution of the frontcourt players is a very big test.

If a unified tactical thinking cannot be formed, and the force is moving in one direction at the same time, then the high position pressing and oppressing are destined to be scattered, and the final result is often even more miserable.

The second requirement brought about by the high position of the first point is that you must have excellent physical fitness.

The physical consumption of players in football matches is quite astonishing, especially when this team adopts a high-position press tactic, the physical consumption of the entire team has reached an astonishing level.

Looking at the European football in the past season, how many teams resolutely adopted high-position press and pressure tactics when facing Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​but because of their physical fitness, they could not persist in the end, which led to problems in the implementation of tactics. , Was finally bloodbathed by Manchester City and Barcelona?

Therefore, if you want to press out to play with Manchester City, you can't end the game without excellent physical fitness. With the attacking power of Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​as long as the opponent's physical fitness is problematic, there is no problem scoring two goals within ten minutes.

In fact, there are not many teams that can achieve the above two points, but they are also not a few. For example, Atletico Madrid has achieved it, Arsenal and Real Madrid have also achieved it.

The Gunners played Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League this season. It was obviously this kind of play. The result was a two-to-one victory over Barcelona at home. This was called a miracle by countless people, but the Gunners' possession rate was still very low in that game. In the second round, Arsenal completely disarmed.

Similarly, in the Copa del Rey final, Mourinho played a three-back midfielder tactic, took the initiative to attack, press and oppress Barcelona, ​​forcing Guardiola’s team to fail to score in 120 minutes. Instead, Real Madrid finally scored a goal and took the Copa del Rey champion.

This game is called an epic by countless media.

So, can such a game be replicated?

The answer is impossible!

Arsenal took the initiative to attack in the first round, and immediately contracted the defense in the second round. Real Madrid took the initiative to defeat Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey to win the championship, but they also paid great attention to contracting defense when facing Manchester City.

The reason is simple. They know the weaknesses of this style of play, and they also know where their problems are.

That is they lack the third element, possession of the ball.

Everyone knows that a midfielder who can only grab the ball is not a good midfielder. In addition to grabbing the ball, a truly outstanding midfielder must be able to hold the ball and pass the ball.

The reason is very simple. After grabbing the ball, it can't protect it, it can't pass it, and it loses. This is not only a great drain on the player's physical fitness, but also a huge blow to the team's morale.

The same is true for the midfielder, and the same is true for a team.

Just relying on robbing and oppression and running without hesitating physical strength is lack of continuity. You can grab it and you must be able to control it.

In fact, many fans have overlooked one point. Whether it is Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, or Manchester City, who have been coached by Alpine, in addition to the feature of passing and controlling the ball, high position pressure and excellent physical fitness are also the characteristics of these teams. Obvious label, just pass the ball better known.

The same is true of Guardiola's Barcelona.

Everyone knows that the biggest problem with pass-and-control is not the tactics, but the players.

Barcelona’s drag is Busquets, Manchester City’s drag is Xavi Alonso, both of the world’s top midfielders, midfielder Barcelona has Xavi partner Iniesta, Manchester City has David Silva partner Mo Derridge is the top ball-handling midfield configuration.

It can be said that most of the best ball-handling players in Europe are in these two teams.

Many people in European football are optimistic about James Rodríguez. A very important reason is that the Colombian midfielder has demonstrated excellent passing and ball handling capabilities and is very comprehensive.

It is not difficult to adopt a high-position press tactic, and it is not difficult to have sufficient physical fitness. The real difficulty lies in how to achieve the first two points and then have an excellent passing and control ability.

This undoubtedly sets a very high threshold for all teams.

And this game, the contest between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​has become particularly exciting.

Especially when they fought against each other, the scene was even more exciting, so that all the fans at Wembley Stadium were fascinated by it, and even the time was forgotten.

…………

…………

Twenty minutes passed unknowingly, and the two teams on the court still maintained the balance of power since the opening, and neither of them could suppress their opponents on the scene.

But this kind of game is not dull at all. The two teams frequently have skilful and smooth one-foot passes, and frequently have wonderful deadly passes. Every shot is extremely thrilling, and the fans all exclaimed in unison.

Everyone feels like they are riding a roller coaster, extremely thrilling and extremely addictive.

But what should come is finally here.

When everyone thought that Barcelona's left wing would be a weak underbelly, and Manchester City should open a breakthrough from their own right, in the 22nd minute, Blue Moon cut a **** way from the left.

Benzemare went to the outside of the penalty area on the left to receive the pass from David Silva. The two skillfully staged a two-to-one pass in the left corner of the penalty area. David Silva got rid of his close defense of Harvey and moved the ball. Passing to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was cut to the front of the penalty area, the Portuguese directly stabbed the ball forward without thinking about it.

The ball passed from Puyol and Busquets diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, and Benzema, who had just been pulled to the outside of the penalty area, had already jumped behind him diagonally, blocking Alves with his body, and received it. After the teammate's pass, he stopped the ball and dunked Puyol and shot directly with his right foot.

Facing this close shot, Valdés couldn't help but watch the ball crash into the lower right corner.

"GoaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"In the 22nd minute, Manchester City took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"

"One to zero!"

"This is a wonderful teamwork. Cristiano Ronaldo has attracted defensive attention at the front of the penalty area. Benzema and David Silva have a wonderful cooperation, but the most surprising is from Cristiano. Ronaldo’s last kick was critically fatal."

"Benzema was very calm at the critical moment. After buckling Puyol, he kicked the door with his foot, without the slightest sluggishness."

"Now Barcelona looks a little passive."

…………

…………

Guardiola was on the sidelines and opened his arms gloomily after seeing Benzema score a goal.

The Portuguese and Kaka attracted defensive attention at the front of the penalty area, resulting in a hollow in the penalty area. This gave Benzema the opportunity to reverse the penalty area. This time the cooperation is really not to say, it is wonderful.

"In the end, Gao Han is Gao Han. We know that we have a weakness on the left, but after the opening, it seems that they have been reluctant to hit the left side. Instead, they are attacking our right side. This is a bit surprising."

Assistant coach Vilanova also nodded frequently. Gao Han is very experienced in targeted tactics and is always unexpected.

"Tell Alves, he has to be responsible for catching it back for me!" Guardiola pointed to the field and said sharply.

The game restarted. After losing the ball, Barcelona quickly organized a counterattack, but Manchester City did not show any weakness, still adopting a high position to press and oppress, and there is no intention to retreat half a step.

The two sides started fighting in the vicinity of the center line, and both had no reservations about each other.

But soon, Barcelona got a chance. After Messi got the ball on the right, he suddenly started. After forcibly breaking through Kompany, he took the ball and cut to the center. After getting rid of Harvey Alonso, he failed. Continue to break through Harvey Martinez, who was shoveled to the ground by the latter.

The referee Casser indicated that this was a successful defense, not a foul.

Barcelona had a little controversy over the penalty, but soon returned to the game, Manchester City took this opportunity to counterattack and once again scored into Barcelona's penalty area.

But just when everyone thought Manchester City was going to create a murderous opportunity again and create a threat, Barcelona suddenly completed a defense. After Xavi successfully intercepted the ball in the middle, he quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right ~www.readwn.com~Al. Wes strode along the right to dribble the ball forward, and Barcelona began to counterattack.

Messi leaned to the center and gave up the entire right channel to Alves, while Ibrahimovic was at the forefront, making Manchester City's defenders afraid of being careless. .

Barcelona's counterattack was very fast. David Silva, Modric and others all quickly returned to defense, but they still fell behind.

Alves dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester City and cut inside decisively.

Kompany stepped forward to defend, Harvey Alonso stuck in the middle, but Alves suddenly passed the front of the penalty area with his right foot.

Ibrahimović turned his back to the goal and blocked Harvey Martinez with his body. Facing Alves’s ball, he pushed forward slightly and saw Messi who had been ambushing in the middle. Facing the incoming ball, he stopped the ball in front of him, raised his left foot, and hit the goal directly with a curved kick.

In the penalty area, Peter Cech has made all the preparations, but facing Messi’s parabolic curve shot, he is also helpless, can only watch the ball almost rubbing the crossbar and hitting it. The top left corner.

One to one!

Guardiola watched from the sidelines as he jumped up, clenched his fists and cheered excitedly.

There is a problem with Barcelona, ​​but isn't Manchester City?

The three-four-three formation made Blue Moon's attack power amazing, but there were also many weaknesses on the side.

Other teams may not be able to take advantage of this, but Barcelona definitely can!

Thinking of this, Guardiola turned his head and looked at Gao Han, as if saying, let's be half a cat, each other.

Both of them smiled involuntarily, and inexplicable excitement projected in their eyes.
