Compared with those luxurious hotels, Orivisky Manor has few rooms and not many facilities, so the German team simply arranged their meeting room in a small bungalow on the training ground.

The facilities are not very perfect, but there are all things that should be there. After all, they are brought by the national team themselves and can be used after powering on.

Now, in this simple bungalow, the German team has begun their most important tactical meeting for preparing for the European Cup final. Yang Cheng needs to pass this meeting to let all players know clearly how to play the game, and then practice and run-in around this set of tactics in the next few days.

Due to the hasty time, it is naturally impossible to propose some revolutionary things, which is unrealistic, but Yang Cheng hopes that the team can improve on the original basis, which undoubtedly becomes possible.

"First of all, I must be a little sure of you all!" When Yang Cheng stood on the stage, the entire conference room became silent, and there was no one around the conference room. The police were patrolling outside, forbidding anyone to get close to the training ground and the conference room, which was also part of the confidentiality of the German team.

"Spain is the most powerful national team in international football today. None of them, this team has outstanding advantages. I hope that all of you can face their advantages clearly and clearly. It is not difficult or terrible to admit this, because we will defeat it!"

Yang Cheng's words made many people present nod, because if you want to defeat an enemy, you must first know where the opponent's advantages lies and what disadvantages lies, so that you can avoid the opponent's advantages and attack the opponent's disadvantages.

"Spain has very obvious advantages. They have outstanding personal skills, a group of superstars, and incredible overall ball control technology and offensive methods. These are the advantages of Spain, but relatively speaking, our disadvantages."

When he spoke, Yang Cheng's eyes were always on the players. He could see that everyone was very attentive and listened very seriously, because they finally reached the final again, and they would not want to see themselves lose again. If they lost to Spain in the final three times in a row, it would be a big joke in football history.

"We Chinese have a saying that the most dangerous places are often the safest and are very suitable for use in Spain. That is their most powerful place, in fact, they are their biggest life gate, and their most powerful places are their weakest links!"

When he said this, Yang Cheng moved away from his body so that all players could see the Spanish tactical formation diagram that had been drawn on the tactical board behind him, and everyone could see that the Spanish formation was overwhelming as a whole.

"Many people may not be able to understand why all teams with ball control have to move their defense forward? Real Madrid is like this, Barcelona is like this, and Spain is like this, why is that?"

Yang Cheng asked with a smile, but he did not wait for the players to think, but gave the answer directly.

"Because the ball control can only be threatened after reaching a specific area, and this so-called specific area is the opponent's 32-meter area. Only when the ball control is completed in this area is meaningful, because the purpose of ball control is to prepare an offensive. It is to pull the opponent's defense line and find fighter jets. Once you catch the fighter jet and get the opportunity, you have to speed up suddenly."

"Is there any speed-up faster than a straight pass or a diagonal pass?" Yang Cheng asked back.

All the players are experienced and many of them have already understood this truth. But there are also some young players who don’t understand it. Now it sounds like this, because direct passes and diagonal passes can indeed break the situation on the court in an instant.

But if the distance is far, the accuracy of direct and oblique transmissions will decrease, which is meaningless.

"But everything in this world is relative. If you move your defense forward, you will naturally reveal your flaws behind you. And to a certain extent, the more you move forward, the more obvious the advantage of possessing the ball, but the greater the flaw behind you. So I said that Spain's advantage is precisely their fatal point!"

Yang Cheng's insights are clear to anyone who has a little understanding of the Spanish ball control system. For example, Mourinho, Boas, Wenger and others are all very clear about this, so when setting up tactics, they always focus on this, but very few teams can do this.

The reason is also simple, because if you want to crack this set of tactics, you must have extremely high qualities.

"Any team that wants to resolve this set of tactics in Spain generally has only two possibilities. One is to push the whole game and oppress the opponent. Both sides play the whole game. However, unless such a team has the same excellent technical and tactical level as Spain, outstanding tacit understanding, and united and coordinated combat capabilities, they will generally die in a very miserable state. They will eventually reveal flaws under the oppression and pull of their opponents!"

"There is another way to lower one's own state, first seek to stabilize the defense, and strive to ensure that Spain won't score first, and then counterattack. This set of tactics is more suitable for most teams, but it is very difficult to completely defend the situation, and there are only two possibilities."

"One is to use the midfield strangle tactic, just like Chelsea back then, and the other is to shrink the defense, but both have disadvantages. Once the strangle strength is not enough and the opponent penetrates, there will be danger behind him, while the latter is equivalent to giving up the ball directly, resulting in full passiveness, and can only wait for the opponent to make an active mistake and reveal flaws."

Yang Cheng is a person who likes initiative and control, so he smiled, "None of these are what I like. I now want to propose a defensive tactic that is more suitable for us!"

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng used a tablet to show a short video on the big screen. The first picture is a ball holder facing the defense. There is no defensive player in front of him, and a red line is drawn in front of him, which is obviously for explanation.

"In the past, our running was more about focusing on three people as a group, one robbed, one side protection, and one dragged and back defense. But now, I hope you can use 4 people as a unit, one robbed, two sides blocked, and one dragged and back defense, because only in this way can we ensure that Spain does not break through our defense line!"

Yang Cheng pointed to the picture on the big screen, "If the opponent directly scooped the ball against our defense, how many forward routes do you think the opponent has?"

As soon as this question was asked, many players started to discuss it on the spot, and the answers were not uniform.

Yang Cheng pressed to continue. The picture continued, and as a result, a semicircular fan-shaped area was drawn with the player as the origin and the red line as the diameter. In this area, all angles could provide propulsion passes.

"It's a 180-degree passing angle!" Yang Cheng said, and then put it on.

I saw that there was an extra defensive player in front of the player, and the two of them face to face to play one-on-one defense.

"So. How many passing angles are there now?" Yang Cheng asked again. After everyone had a round, he continued to answer: "It's 45 degrees on the left bottom and 45 degrees on the right bottom!"

A 45-degree angle close to the diameter of the left and right sides appeared on the screen. It shows that both areas can pass the ball, and the 90-degree angle in the middle of the sector was blocked by the defensive players. All the people who played the ball knew very well that it was indeed the case.

"Okay, the question is here. What I dare say is that with the technical skills of Spanish players, they can definitely grasp the 45-degree diagonal pass propulsion on the left and right sides. They have this skill and ability. And their teammates also have this sense of running support, because they are all taught by me!"

When Yang Cheng said this, he had an irrefutable authority. He could be said to be the behind-the-scenes creator of this Spanish team. Bosque's team was formed with his Real Madrid as the skeleton.

"So just block one side, they can pass the other side, and the effect is also not good. They can also break through our defense line, so if we want to block Spain's forward pass, we have to have players on both sides, form a real fan-shaped defensive surface, and have one more player behind the back to prevent the opponent from passing one-on-one!"

Everyone can see from the short film and Yang Cheng's analysis that if this is really done, it can be said that a person's forward pass angle was blocked. He either passed back or was cut off, making it difficult to pass through the defensive area, even if the teammates around him were responsible for it, it would be fine.

"This is just a point in the defense. If we can spread this point and then form countless layered fan-shaped defenses, the route forward of the opposite direction will be completely destroyed!"

When he said this, Yang Cheng paused, feeling the need to let the players digest their thoughts and ideas.

Forced indoctrination cannot make players truly understand and understand. Only by thinking and understanding these by themselves can they help them understand the defensive tactics that Yang Cheng wants them to achieve.

"Boss, this is probably a fantasy. If we want to do this, how many will we have to run?"

"Yes, boss, as you said, if you run like this, let alone a game, I guess I can't hold on to the half game!"

"That's right, the court is so big, it's impossible for them to run like this. They just use the pass to pull you and let you run. When your physical energy is almost exhausted, they will torture you slowly. If there is not enough physical energy to support you, no matter how good the tactics are, it will be useless. Watch the other party play with you!"

Yang Chengqi advocated that they would speak freely when preparing for tactical strategies, so when faced with suspicion, he did not feel angry, but was happy because he was able to make suggestions, proving that they had digested and understood Yang Cheng's thoughts.

The German team's off-ball running has always been excellent, especially after Yang Cheng established the youth training system, the off-ball running was divided into three people in one group. This group of players can even be said to have grown up and improved in such an environment since childhood, which gives them the possibility of going further and realizing Yang Cheng's ideas.

For example, Barack, the latter's multiple runs are all formed by the fourth person running away from the triangle area, and this fourth person is actually completing Yang Cheng's tactical ideas.

"Yes, you all said it right, but there is a possibility that we can guarantee that we can do this!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Cheng with attention. At this moment, Barack was the first to understand and suddenly realized: "Change the distance of the three lines and reduce the controlled area, so that there will be less running!"

Yang Cheng smiled and pointed at Barack and praised: "Well said it! Not only does it take less running, but it also takes less!"

Run in a team way, as long as you maintain a suitable distance and maintain a compact and orderly formation, the players' running distance and physical energy consumption in this area can actually be minimized.

This is somewhat similar to the assembly line operation advocated in factories, which can maximize efficiency.

"I have calculated that the most suitable distance between players is about 10 meters. If there is less and overcrowding, it will lead to narrowing and more control areas. There will be loopholes. If the control area is too large, the actual control ability will be weak, and it will be easy for the opponent to penetrate and pass the ball, resulting in loopholes!"

After listening to Yang Cheng's words, the players combined with the series of data that Yang Cheng had just proposed, which made them have to believe that the series of tactics proposed by Yang Cheng is completely possible. They are fully capable of achieving this kind of accurate calculated running without the ball to limit the opponent's pass penetration.

All the players added some things that Yang Cheng didn't say in their minds, and they could imagine it. If they could quickly deploy similar fan defense when the opponent scoops the ball, it means that the opponent will find it difficult to get the opportunity to pass forward. Even if it succeeds once and half times, the players behind the drag and back defense will make up for it and reduce the damage to the minimum.

As for the set of tactics formulated by Yang Cheng, everyone must maintain a distance of about 10 meters. In addition, what Barack said before should shrink his defense, this also represents the tone of Yang Cheng's playing Spain, not to fight against Spain head-on, but to take a defensive counterattack, a real defensive counterattack.

I believe that at this moment, many players will admire them from the bottom of their hearts. Yang Cheng is Yang Cheng, and even the defensive counterattack is different from others. The more carefully they think about it, the more interesting they will find.

Use four people to fight for fan-shaped defense in this way. Once the ball is intercepted, almost everyone can face the opponent's goal head-on, and then directly complete the transition from defense to offense in the shortest time, launch a counterattack, and directly launch an attack on the opponent's position.

Yang Cheng said just now that in order to ensure effective ball control, Spain must move the defense line forward to reveal the flaws behind them. If the German team seizes the opportunity to counterattack and passes the ball directly behind them, does that mean that the German team has seized the fatal flaws of Espanyol?

The more I think about it, the more I feel it is interesting, and the more I think about it, the more I feel it is exciting. They gradually became brought into Yang Cheng's tactical ideas. They could all feel that as long as they do not make fatal mistakes in such defense, they can ensure that the German team's goal is not lost to the maximum.

But this is only theoretical. This set of tactics can indeed curb the opponent's vertical offensive advancement and complete the offensive and defensive transformation as quickly as possible. However, in fact, to achieve such a goal, the requirements are also very high.

First of all, such a team must have a complete and clever running system without the ball, and the German team undoubtedly has such a foundation.

Also, the team's formation must be appropriate to ensure that the players can cover the space, while also ensuring the players' physical fitness and running distance. In order to do this, Yang Cheng now adopts the defensive tactics to shrink, first ensure stability, and then slowly plan other things. When the team gets familiar with this set of tactics in the future, it can expand the defensive space and avoid the embarrassing situation of always sticking to the half-court of his own side.

But there is one thing that the head coach cannot predict, that is, the players' degree of completion of tactics, and the entire conversion speed of their transition from offense to fan defense as soon as possible after the opponent intercepts the ball. This is undoubtedly the biggest problem with the entire defensive system.

Yang Chengqi is obviously very clear about this, and even he knows better than anyone else that this is the key factor in determining the success or failure of this set of tactics. With Spain's small quick and sharp playing style and their outstanding pass and reception combined with the propulsion ability, if this cannot be accomplished in the shortest time, then the German team should not expect to be able to defend Spain's offensive.

Therefore, he must focus on practicing the team's defensive system in the next period of time, so that the players can become familiar with this set of tactics as much as possible, and at the same time, the team's conversion speed between offense and fan defense as much as possible.

Another important drill topic is to master the sense of distance.

As Yang Cheng mentioned just now, the distance must not be too far. If it is far, it cannot guarantee the opponent's passing route. There are loopholes, but the distance cannot be too close. If it is close, it cannot guarantee the control of the defensive area, nor can it guarantee the level of defense.

After all, this set of fan defense is not just a one-on-one contest, but a contest between the entire team against another team, 11 against 11, and countless four-man groups. This requires ensuring that the team has enough levels to avoid chaotic and disorderly scenes. Otherwise, in the end, I will not torture the opponent, but will instead torture myself.

In addition, Yang Cheng has always reserved a backup plan in his work, and he must make the worst plans. If Boske's team really breaks through the German team's defense and the German team must do its best, how can the team make a threatening attack while ensuring the quality of the defense?

As for offense, this is Yang Cheng's strength and his trump card in this game. It must be! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
