8 All attack and all defense (Part 2) ()

"Many people think that the creator of all attacks and defenses is Michels, but I don't think it is. He was deeply influenced by Jack and Reynolds. After he retired, he absorbed the strengths of many schools and combined them into a football concept. So the reason why he is great is that he is the master of his greatness. He stood on Jack and Reynolds' shoulders and explored a wider world!"

"Well said! Jack, Reynolds, few people still remember this British man now. When coaching Ajax, he was the first to establish the Ajax youth training, offensive football, speed and style of the youth team and the adult team. These were all quoted by Michels."

Paul and Baier were amazed. He did not expect that Yang Cheng would remember Jack Reynolds, a British man who created a glorious era in Ajax in the 1920s and 1930s. Michels was his favorite disciple and was deeply influenced by him.

"The so-called full attack and full defense is actually a football concept. The basis of this concept is overall cooperation. Once there is no overall cooperation, full attack and full defense are equivalent to a castle in the air, and everything is out of reach!"

"That's right, so I'm disdainful to those guys who comment on the outdated attack and defense all day long. They just simply and superficially believe that all attack and defense are to advance and retreat together. However, they don't know that the core concept of all attack and defense lies in freedom, not constraints!" Paul and Bayer deeply agree with Yang Cheng's view.

"That can also be regarded as freedom under constraints!" Yang Cheng always believed that on the football field, freedom and constraints do not conflict. The key is to see how to achieve balance. Just like controlling the ball and controlling the space, they are both ends of the balance. If the balance can be kept in balance, everything can be integrated.

But it is difficult to do this. At least few famous coaches in ancient and modern times can do it!

Paul, Bayer was very excited. Obviously, in Chemnitz, few people could communicate with him like this, which made him very excited. "You just said that the emergence of all attacks and defenses has caused a huge change in football skills and tactics. Are you referring to the refinement of the position?"

Yang Cheng nodded immediately, but was amazed in his heart. Tim, Hank was right. Paul and Bayer did have rich tactical knowledge, at least it can be seen from his very forward-looking words.

In 1995, there were really not many people who could predict the detailed position of the court!

The central midfielder has evolved into front midfielder, rear midfielder and traditional central midfielder, but the front midfielder is divided into classical front midfielder, modern front midfielder, etc. From the technical characteristics, it can be divided into organizational front midfielder and rear-row-mounted offensive front midfielder, while the rear midfielder can be divided into defensive back midfielder and organizational retreat midfielder. Of course, there are also more comprehensive back midfielder types, such as Redondo and Guardiola in today's football world.

There are also types of strikers, changes in wing players, etc. If you analyze them carefully, it is not difficult to find that the position on the football field is becoming more and more refined, but what if it is truly refined to the extreme?

The stadium is just a little big. You may add a few more lines between the three lines, but there will always be a day when you refine it to the extreme. So how do you divide the work of football at this time?

"Flurring the position, decreasing the division of labor in targeted positions, and starting to pay attention to the interweaving and cooperation between players, allowing players to bear different responsibilities according to different positions on the court. Therefore, in this case, when the back midfielder reaches the front midfielder, he will naturally assume the responsibility of the front midfielder. When the full-back reaches the front midfielder, he will naturally insert the breakthrough and participate in the offense!"

Paul and Bayer were completely shocked by Yang Cheng's words because he had just thought about the location refinement, but he had never thought about what would happen after refining to the extreme, because in his opinion, it was too long and far away.

But Yang Cheng knew very well that with the advent of the information age, everything in the world is accelerating, and the same is true for football skills and tactics. Therefore, in the next ten years, the position of football will be refined, but in the next ten years, the position of football will be refined to the extreme and the position will begin to be blurred.

The reason why he is so sure is that before crossing, Yang Cheng realized that the winger was against the feet, the full-back was forward and played the role of a winger, the fake forward, the fake winger, the striker without the front tactics... The root of all this is the limitation of blurring the position?

Everyone can imagine that when a team has 10 players other than goalkeepers and plays on the court, the central defender can become a forward at any time, the full-back can become a winger at any time, and the forwards can play the role of a defender at any time. Every player on the court can freely switch the role that the team needs them the most according to the situation on the court. How powerful should such a team be?

And this is all attack and all defense!

It is precisely because of this that even though Barcelona reached its peak in 2011, Yang Cheng always believed that this team may be great, but not as great as playing the ultimate football, because they did not even play the ultimate in attacking and defending!

At best, they are just close to attacking and defending!

Of course, with the progress of the times and after all attack and defense, Yang Cheng didn’t know how football would develop, and he couldn’t guess!

But at this moment, Paul and Bayer were completely shocked by Yang Cheng's advancement, which could even be said to be a cross-age statement, especially when he continued to look at it, he had to admit that when the position was blurred, the players on the court evolved their responsibilities according to the situation on the court, such a team would be the most powerful.

"But, can you find such a player?" Paul Baier wondered.

If you want to play the football that Yang Cheng said is full offense and defense, how high should the players be?

"The times create heroes, but now there are no such things, but in a few years, with the maturity of football tactics and professional coaches' understanding and mastery of football tactics such as all offense and defense, the trained players will naturally begin to develop in this direction. However, by that time, geniuses like Pele and Maradona will probably be difficult to reappear!"

Once football enters the overall era, the personal performance of the stars will be limited. At that time, there will still be superstars in the football world, but they are superstars who use their strength under the premise of the overall performance of the team, rather than superheroes who are now single-handedly challenging their opponents' entire defense line.

Paul and Bayer couldn't help but look at Yang Cheng with conscientious conscience. Although he was young, he had extraordinary experience, especially his understanding and foresight of football skills and tactics. Even Paul and Bayer felt inferior to him.

It was also at this moment that Paul and Bayer discovered that Chemnitz could not tolerate Yang Cheng at all. Perhaps he came here just to find a pedal, a pedal that could completely make him into the core circle of football. Once he achieved such a jump, he would leave Chemnitz without hesitation and set out to find the path of his ideal football.

"I finally understand why you ask players to change positions and train against each other frequently!" After this conversation, Paul and Bayer understood some doubts that they had not understood before.

Transfer training is equivalent to allowing players to familiarize themselves with the pressures and difficulties they face in different positions. It can not only promote the tacit understanding and cooperation between players, but also improve their multi-position attributes, so that they can deal with this situation more calmly in the future.

To put it bluntly, a very important requirement for players to blur positions is multifacetedness and familiarity with different positions!

Confrontation training is to let the forwards and central defenders compete, the wing forwards and full-backs compete, etc. These are all to help players better deal with the situation on the court and better improve their confrontational ability.

"By the way, can you reveal who are your most optimistic players in Chemnitz?" Paul, Bayer suddenly wanted to know if Yang Cheng's vision was the same as him.

"Barak!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile.

“How high can it be reached?”

"I don't know, maybe the world's top, maybe..." Yang Cheng really doesn't know that the players' potential will change, even in the super coaching assistance system. After all, everyone has infinite possibilities, and he can't guarantee what kind of changes his arrival will bring to Barack.

However, he will not give up on his training of Barack. He wants to cultivate Barack in his own way!

Fortunately, after the conversation a few nights ago, Barack also expressed his conviction to Yang Cheng. Now Yang Cheng has asked Tim and Hank to ask Barack higher questions during training, diamond running!

Many people think that triangle tactics are the core tactics of football, but triangles also have disadvantages, that is, control of the area. The diamond looks like two triangles, one forward and the other reverse, which is worth studying. Moreover, Yang Cheng clearly knows that the diamonds are more flexible in opening up and controlling the space on the field than the triangle.

The triangle running position is already unbearable, and the diamond running position is even more complicated, with higher requirements on the players' vision and ability to read the game, but Yang Cheng believes that Barack is sure to be competent.

However, although diamond running is of great help to the team's skills and tactics, it is destined to be the protagonist who appears in the TV camera, because the broadcast of the TV always chases the ball, but the diamond running person deviates from the ball.

Of course, the position set by Yang Cheng for Barack is in the mid-front court. If he really develops, he will definitely not be too low-key. After all, Yang Cheng's purpose is to maximize his offensive potential, and at the same time maintain his strong impact in the mid-front court, as well as his offensive ability in the back row, and even his defensive ability in the frontcourt.

That's why, Yang Cheng promised Barak that evening to develop the tactics of Chemnitz team 2 around him!

"But, I have a intuition that he is born to be the core material!" Yang Cheng added with a smile at the end.
