Super Marshal

Unconsciously, there are more and more international players in the Chinatown team.

After Carvajal was selected for the Spanish national team for the first time, Chinatown now has a total of three Spanish internationals, the other two are De Gea and Alba, Godin, Rakitic, Hazard and Aubame Yang is also selected for the national team.

With a lineup of seven internationals, Chinatown is not weak, and this is the result of selling the four internationals Michu, James Rodríguez, Otamendi and Alderweireld.

In addition to the national team's internationals, there are also many national teams of all levels. Therefore, as soon as the national team match day, the Chinatown training center immediately becomes empty and very deserted.

But in the conference room, the atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Two consecutive losses at the beginning of the game left Chinatown in a miserable mood and it was very depressing.

Especially compared with the start of the last season, Chinatown this season is too depressed and too aggrieved.

Where is the problem? How should it be solved?

This is a difficult problem facing the coaching staff and the club management.

As a senior head coach, Gao Han is very clear that if Chinatown cannot solve this problem as soon as possible, then this season's results will not be good, let alone the top four in the league, I am afraid the ranking will drop significantly.

Of course, he also understands that it would be unkind to push this scapegoat to the coaching staff, because this summer sold four main starting players, especially Mi Chu and Hames Rodriguez, for their offensive against Chinatown. The impact is too great.

"Throughout the four games so far this season, our team has shown a very distinctive feature, that is, winning without scoring, playing in the first leg of Odance, we have a high ball possession rate, playing Barcelona In the first half of the game, we were evenly matched against each other. After conceding two goals, we even had the advantage on the field for a while."

"In this recent game, we played against Sevilla and we also had the advantage. We had a 63% possession rate. We won eight corner kicks and caused the opponent to pay 14 fouls and four yellow cards. However, we only took six shots, and even one shot on the goal. One goal was scored and five shots were missed."

"Sevilla's possession rate is very low, but they have fifteen shots and nine shots on goal, so we should thank De Gea. If it weren't for his magical performance, it is estimated that we would have won a game in this game. A humiliating fiasco."

Technical director Cantarello took the lead to speak, and pointed directly at the problems the club is currently encountering, and revealed it mercilessly.

This is the tradition of Chinatown, which is not right for people.

Head coach Pochettino's face is not good-looking, but he also knows that what Cantarello said is the truth.

The problem the team is facing now is indeed very complicated. The offensive end can't create a threat, but the defensive end has repeatedly made mistakes.

"What Carlos said is true, and our coaching staff has also conducted in-depth analysis."

Pochettino took Cantarello's words and continued.

"We believe that the team’s current defense is relatively simple. Our midfielder is very complete, and our anti-grab enthusiasm and efficiency are very high. Especially after the combination of Herrera and Rakitic, our midfielder The ability to intercept and cover is better than last season, which is good for our defense."

"The problem now is that Godin and Miranda have never played high defense before, and the cooperation between the two central defenders is not tacit enough. The interaction with other players on the team is still relatively unfamiliar, and there will inevitably be more mistakes. But whether in training or in the game, we have reason to believe that as the season progresses, the defensive problem will gradually be resolved."

High defense is very different, and the team's overall formation has different requirements for central defenders.

More importantly, Chinatown places great emphasis on the forward assists of two full-backs. Carvajal and Alba are typical offensive and defensive full-backs, sometimes even ahead of the midfield. The requirements for the central defender are obviously different.

Godin and Miranda are both newcomers, and it is normal to not adapt. Pochettino believes that they can gradually integrate into the team, which is also believed.

"The current problem is mainly concentrated on the offensive side. Pellet has many similarities with Michu. For example, they both have strong back-to-hand and ball-handling abilities. They are very physically strong and can play in the frontcourt. The role of the fulcrum, but there are also many differences. For example, Michu is a front midfielder and often retracements, but Pellet is a traditional Italian center and basically does not retrace."

"Pellet's dribbling ability is not outstanding, which makes him lack the ability to take the initiative to attack the ball, so we can see that he has hardly any outstanding on the court, but his frontcourt run is very active and the ability to press Very good, the tactical fulcrum role is very obvious, this is his advantage."

There are no two leaves that are exactly the same in this world, nor can there be two players with exactly the same characteristics.

Pellet and Michu seem to have similar styles, but in fact there are still many differences.

"There is also a midfielder. Last season there was James Rodriguez. He is the best player in La Liga and even European football who is good at passing threats. But this season, whether it is Herrera or Rakitic, Both are more comprehensive, but they are not as good as James Rodriguez in terms of passing threats."

"Comprehensive factors have resulted in us being able to control the scene and suppress the opponents on the court, but we have never been able to straighten out the offense, leading to the ball reaching the frontcourt, but we have never been able to create a threat."

Pochettino was also very depressed about this, and even listened to his tone of voice, feeling a little bit angry in his heart.

After all, the team finally adjusted a set of smooth play last season. As a result, it sold four players in one go, causing the team to be overthrown and restarted. Now the performance is not ideal and the fans are not happy. The coaching staff so much pressure.

Gao Han is a head coach and he knows very well that the problems the team is facing now should never be blamed on anyone, including Pochettino, and he did not come to Madrid specifically to put pressure on him.

He hopes to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible and help the team get back on track as soon as possible.

"I watched the four games of the team this season, and I think the strength of the team is still maintained well, from three points."

After Cantarello and Pochettino expressed their opinions, Gao Han also expressed his views.

"First of all, our overall is still very good. We are still good at creating a number advantage in a local area in a short time, especially the two full-backs. This is very sudden and effective; second, our frontcourt is pressing and oppressing. Very well organized, this is a traditional feature of our team."

"There is one last point, and the most important point. Our cooperation in a small area is very precise, and the team has a tacit understanding. The newly joined Pellet is also a very smart player who is very good at running. This is what the team does. Very good."

"With these three points, I can say with confidence that our strength this season is not bad, at least the foundation is still there."

Speaking of this, Gao Han looked at Pochettino, "Maurisio is right. Some problems of the team take time, such as the understanding of players, such as the integration of defensive players. There are also problems that require us to find solutions as soon as possible. , Such as offense."

"I would like to make a comment. Pellet is a center with a very delicate footwork. He has physical advantages. He has excellent ability to hold and make the ball with his back. The running awareness and header ability are very good. He should be actively used. The advantage allows him to hold the opponent's two central defenders and complete the kick and ferry function."

Alpine's judgment was recognized by Pochettino. The Argentine coach nodded and said: "You are right. He can play the role of a **** stick and a standing role in the frontcourt, so we will focus on the second. The battle for the landing, and the line planning of the second offense in the back row to organize the offense."

"Rakitic and Herrera both have very good post-plug offensive capabilities. Aubameyang is very fast. We think both aspects can form a good interaction with Pellet."

"Don't forget, our two full-backs are very capable of inserting assists." Gao Han reminded, "Using a small range from the wing to cooperate with a back pass, or an inside cut, is also a very threatening offensive routine. Use Pellet’s strengths."

"In the small-scale cooperation on the side, I think Hazard should be liberated."

"Liberate Azar?" Pochettino pondered Gao Han's words seriously.

"Hazard is a talented player with super personal ability and a very high rate of one-on-one success. With Pellet suppressing the other two central defenders, Hazard can play more threateningly. When the ball is cut from the left, it can often attract the defense and double-teaming of three or four players from the other side, especially the right midfielder, who often grabs and intercepts, and the right midfielder will also actively double-team to cut off Hazard. Route of the ball."

"In this case, Alba stepped forward and attacked, Rakitic and Herrera moved forward to support, and Pelle’s support at the front of the penalty area can share the defensive pressure of Hazard to the greatest extent. As long as he is given space for his personal ability, I believe it will surprise everyone."

When Pochettino heard this, he finally understood what Gao Han meant.

To liberate Hazard is to organize Chinatown's offense around Hazard ~www.readwn.com~ instead of center Pellet.

This proposal by Gao Han coincides with Pochettino and the coaching staff's idea of ​​planning an offense around the second point of the frontcourt and the back row.

Of course, Hazard is only twenty years old and still very young. He is indeed very strong and has a high success rate. Last season he was a famous extraordinary maniac in La Liga, but the next step after passing is often more. Not ideal, but if he is placed near the front of the opponent's restricted area, as long as he passes, he can disrupt the opponent's defense line and create a threat.

What's more, Hazard is a very smart player, he will always improve.

Gao Han has always firmly believed that for a genius like Hazard, he should be given as much space as possible within the tactical framework, allowing him to play freely and release his talents and talents to his heart's content.

If it is said that he was young before and not enough to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, then now, whether he is ready or not, he should be asked to provoke this heavy burden.

Pelle and Hazard are not known for their ability to score goals, so the burden of scoring falls on Aubameyang. Alpine has always been very optimistic about this extremely fast player, and Cantarello is also very optimistic. After polishing his shooting ability, I believe there will be a certain improvement this season.

But the key is Hazard.

"He is a proud swan, what we have to do is to give him a lake, not to force him into an ugly duckling." Gao Han persuaded Pochettino.

Not only him, but Zidane is also very optimistic about Hazard. The French even asserted that Hazard is the most promising player in the Chinatown team to become a superstar.

Gao Han was deeply impressed by this.

Therefore, liberating Hazard will be a key to Chinatown to open the goal.
