The Ball at Your Feet

Updated: 2013-10-18

After sending off Guti and Cannavaro, Ancelotti also had a conversation with Ramos and Ivanovic. In his arrangement, Ivanovic, who was originally a central defender, will change to a full-back, while Ramos, who was a full-back, will become a central defender.

"If Ramos is on the wing and Ivanovic is in the middle, then the two of them will be very happy to plug in together. If they are happy, I will be unhappy. But if I change it, Iraq Vanovic will still get in, but Ramos will be more honest. So, it’s better to let Ramos play in the middle."

After several days of observation, Ancelotti finalized the arrangement of the defense line. Pepe must have occupied one spot, and the other central defender's spot, he was handed over to Ramos. Ivanovic’s forward penetration ability, in the eyes of other teams, is very good, but in a team like Real Madrid that has always been unstable in defense, it is a time bomb. Ancelotti wanted the central defender to be a little more stable instead of getting in more, so he put him on the wing.

This is very related to the characteristics of Ramos playing. When Ramos is playing on the wing, he likes to plug it in. But when he gets to the middle, he will stay in the backcourt, not so much. After this shift, even if Ivanovic plugs in again, at least, Ramos will not move.

Therefore, Ancelotti's choice is to let Ramos play in the middle and Ivanovic to play on the side-flying bilaterally, it is better than being beaten through the middle.

Then, he talked with Ribery, Yaya Touré, and Diarra: there are not many changes that need to be made in their positions, so their conversations were also the first to proceed.

Finally, Ancelotti went to find the most important figures of the two teams, Raul and Zhao Yaning.

"We next season, you will mainly appear on the right side." Ancelotti knew the key to the problem. The first thing he found was Raul. "I know you are more familiar with the left side, but we may need it now. You can only make some small concessions."

"I have also played on the right, it's no big deal, but is there any reason?" Raul asked rhetorically.

"I will put Ribery on the left. He prefers the left because he can cut more inside. Moreover, he has speed and impact. If he is on the left with Marcelo, he can do well. The advancement of the team from halftime to 30 meters. The advancement of this distance is very important. In the past, we let Joey advance here, but it was a bit too wasteful. Ribery is more suitable for this job. He is in Here, back and forth impact. Yaya Toure, Joey and Zlatan are constantly passing, to the left side to meet. Their ball ability is good, and the wing can form an excellent breakthrough. Therefore, Joey will be fixed in the middle, and you are on the right, which is mainly used to assist the attack. The left will become the main attack direction, but in many cases, it will also become a method of attracting firepower. In that way At that time, we need someone on the right to attack with excellent off-the-ball running and experience. I think you are the most suitable."

"Same as I thought."

Raul also knows that his position is definitely a side attack: at his age and with Real Madrid's players, he cannot be the main attacker.

Ribery wanted a position on the left, and Ancelotti would also give him this position. Raul was not surprised. Since the beginning of last season, Marcelo's advancement has become an important part of the team. Zhao Yaning took him for a season before he honed him out. It is impossible for Ancelotti to not use it. That being the case, then, Real Madrid's left is naturally to become an important corridor for rapid advancement. His speed is not as good as Ribery's, and his breakthrough ability is incomparable. This position is naturally not his own. And when he gets to the right, all he needs to do is to keep getting in without the ball. Raul knows his own tactical status changes.

With the increase of age, Raul's role will only decrease step by step, and can no longer meet the needs of Real Madrid, he will naturally have to make concessions.

Ancelotti's arrangement was very meticulous, telling him why he wanted to let him go to the right, and also made him nod. He knows that sooner or later he will have to make concessions. There is no essential difference between making a concession now and making a concession in the future, and now that the coach is willing to give himself a reasonable tactical arrangement, that is enough.

Moreover, not to mention, Ancelotti still attaches great importance to him: inserting on the left, Ibrahimovic withdraws, then, who is the one who inserts the goal? Needless to say, you can think of it, but who else is Raul on the right? With light tasks and many goals, Ancelotti gave him a lot of face.

However, Raul still has a problem, "I want to figure out one thing: If Zhao Yaning is in the middle road, is his job different from that in the left road?"

"Of course there are differences. In my plan, next season, his playing style may change a lot."

"I have always heard people say that you want to use him as Kaka, but it doesn't seem to be the case." Raul asked.

Since Ancelotti entered Real Madrid, there have been a lot of rumors, saying that he wants to treat Zhao Yaning as Kaka and let Zhao Yaning be responsible for the advance in the middle. But looking at his tactical arrangement, it is very different from the Milan period: Milan's wing is mainly responsible for opening the posture and allowing the middle to be inserted. However, Ancelotti put the task of advancing on the side in Real Madrid. Moreover, letting Ibrahimovic retreat and let Raul intervene also made this team look very similar to Milan's play. It's different.

So, what exactly is Zhao Yaning responsible for? This also made Raul more interested.

Also interested is Zhao Yaning.

Since Ancelotti's arrival, Zhao Yaning has also been waiting for Ancelotti to find himself and explain to himself the arrangements for the new season. However, Ancelotti found a circle of people, and at the end, he came to him.

Before that, he had seen a lot of people go away proudly-Ibrahimovic was allowed to retreat by Ancelotti, Ribery was moved to the left, Raul was put to the easy goal. In a relatively relaxed position, even the players in the backcourt were arranged by Ancelotti, but Zhao Yaning himself never got Ancelotti's private conversation.

This made Zhao Yaning a little anxious. Although he did not believe in the media's claims of Ancelotti's grudges, he had always wondered whether he would be a tactical arrangement in Ancelotti's tactical arrangements. What position?

When Ancelotti came to call for him, he was also a little expectant.

"I hope that next season, your position will no longer be a winger, but a central midfielder."

After Ancelotti's arrangement made Zhao Yaning stunned, he nodded, "Is it moved to the middle? No problem."

"It's not just about moving to the middle. I hope that next season, your range of running positions will change a bit."

"My running range has never been small, right?" Zhao Yaning asked rhetorically.

Zhao Yaning's physical strength is good, so his running range has never been too small. Ancelotti said that he paid attention to the running problem, which also made Zhao Yaning a little strange.

"Most of your previous running positions were at the front of the penalty area. The range of 15 meters to 30 meters from the goal is your main range of motion. Your range of motion seems to be large because of your coverage area. , Including two side lanes, you have a lot of side pulls, especially on the left side, which gives you a lot of attack range-but, this way of playing, in my team, I hope a little Make some changes."

Ancelo explained to Zhao Yaning, "I hope that your retracement can be deeper, even as deep as near the middle circle. At the same time, the attack on the left side will be handed over to Yaya Touré to respond, because The support work does not need a player like you to complete, he will be enough, unless he is not good enough, you pass. And your running range is the range from the middle circle to the top of the arc of the penalty area-of course, If it is possible, I hope you will consider pulling to the right side appropriately. Your task is mainly to launch an attack, but not all of the time you need to plug in. Sometimes, you need to plug in, but I want more At the time, what you need to do is to organize in a slightly back position. Rely on the long pass to organize the attack, and at the same time assist to quickly insert into the penalty area and shoot. This is your task."

Ancelotti's explanation made Zhao Yaning gradually understand what he meant.

Ancelotti's idea is actually very simple: he let Ribery and Marcelo form a left-handed advancing combination, freeing himself from the task of advancing. Then, he let Yaya Toure frequently plug in, which can greatly disrupt the layout of the opponent's defense. Yaya and Ribéry, Marcelo breaks through on the left, can form an offensive strong point, and he advances, Ibrahimovic retreats, Raul cut inside, three people can form another on the right position. Strong offense. The strength of the two sets of offenses is enough to knock through a lot of doors.

What's more, if necessary, Ribery, Zhao Yaning and Ibrahimovic, Ribery form a connection. Or if Yaya Toure plugs in, Ibrao goes to the left and can form a good assault on the right.

This arrangement has changed Real Madrid's attack methods a lot. Relying on Zhao Yaning's flexible movement and Ibrahimovic's retreat, the attack is enough to complete. Moreover, looking at Ancelotti's arrangement, when the frontcourt started to play, Zhao Yaning retraced a lot, even withdrawing directly to the middle circle, and often attacked directly in the middle circle. And when the frontcourt can't start the situation~www.ltnovel.com~ Zhao Yaning needs to plug in and attack. When it came to some frantic attacks on the gate, Zhao Yaning even had to assume that Ibrahimovic had always been doing poorly in the restricted area.

It also made Zhao Yaning have a rather strange idea: what he needs to do by himself is not Kaka, but all the work from Pirlo to Kaka to Shepchenko. Even considering the position, he has to participate in the defense, Gattuso's work, he also has to do something.

Ancelotti gave Zhao Yaning some new challenges: launching a long pass from the center is obviously more difficult than the side. At the same time, Yaya Toure frequently intervened, Zhao Yaning in the midfielder also needs to take on some defensive work.

This makes Zhao Yaning very satisfied: Ancelotti’s tactical arrangements are obviously much more detailed than Schuster’s: he takes into account everyone’s playing style, and strives to satisfy everyone, as well as how to deal with it. The free transition between the strong enemy and the weak team has arrangements for the team's rapid advancement and counter-attack tactics, and at the same time, he has not forgotten the layout of the attacking battle. Zhao Yaning is of course quite satisfied with this approach.

Ancelotti is a good coach. There is no doubt about this.

It's just this way of playing, where does it seem to be deja vu? Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled. In his memory, it seemed that some people played football like this, but the task was not so heavy.

"Backcourt organization, frontcourt shooting, support from the left, support from the right, with the ball in, and without the ball, if you count the support after the position change and the increased tasks of defensive work... the work I have to do A lot, is this going to exhaust me?" Zhao Yaning asked with a wry smile.

"You can work harder. If you don't play like this, how can you highlight the difference of your world's No. 1 person?"
