After returning to the rental house, Gao Shen lay on the bed after washing up and hid in the tactical library.
But he was not reading, but thinking and reviewing.
This meal tonight brought him too much stimulation, and he needed to digest it well.
For him, Sacchi and Valdano can be described as dimensionality reduction attacks.
If nothing else, let’s just say it’s the understanding of football.
These two seniors have many years of rich experience. They can casually tell which scene in which classic game in which year reflects which tactical thinking of the head coach. This is a very, very remarkable thing.
Before Gao Shen and others entered the box, the two were discussing the history of football tactics and their own understanding and views of football.
And all of these are not something that Gao Shen can participate in. He can only listen.
Some people may think that this is nonsense?
No matter how well you speak, no matter how thorough your understanding is, no matter how many opinions you have, if you have the ability, you can win.
If you can't win, whatever you say is useless.
That's the problem.
From the perspective of short-term utilitarianism, this is correct. Winning is the last word.
But who can keep winning? Which team can last forever?
Sacchi and Valdano have elevated football to a theoretical and ideological level. This is actually true of Cruyff, and even Guardiola later.
Moreover, Guardiola is not only thinking on his own, but also trying hard and practicing.
Everyone knows that tactics in European football are always iterating rapidly. Some novel tactics emerge almost every year, and every two or three years there are eye-opening innovations. But in this novelty and
Behind the innovation, the entire football tactics are spiraling.
The development of science and technology has injected more fresh blood into football, and improvements in nutrition, kinesiology, medical technology and other aspects have brought players' personal abilities to a whole new level.
Let's just say that now, players who are thirty years old are already considered veterans.
But next year, AC Milan will win the Champions League with the help of a group of grandfathers who are nearly 40 years old.
Going forward, more and more veterans are extending their careers.
Perhaps many people cannot understand what kind of huge changes are behind this.
Everyone knows that the peak period of professional players is created when the body, technology and consciousness reach a certain height at the same time.
According to current standards, it is probably between the ages of twenty-five and twenty-eighty-nine years old.
But like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they not only matured precociously, but also had a very long peak period in their careers. This not only greatly improved the players' careers, but more importantly, many veterans will play better as they get older.
Yue Yao.
By that time, a player's peak period may no longer be in his twenties or sixties, but may have just begun in his thirties.
To use a saying that ridicules the current AC Milan, it is a thirty-year-old rookie.
All of this will bring changes at the technical and tactical level.
Football tactics always start from a high starting point, follow a spiral upward trajectory, and climb to a higher starting point.
In this case, the theoretical research and understanding of Sacchi and Valdano is undoubtedly very valuable.
This is why both of their columns are so popular, but ordinary fans are unlikely to understand them.
Every change is a new starting point for football techniques and tactics, and there will be rapid iterations. The first one to bear the brunt is the top European leagues, which are changing and evolving all the time.
Professional football today is an industry.
What is industry?
To put it bluntly, it is division of labor and cooperation.
It's true for the players, it's true for the office, it's true for the coaching staff.
In the past, when information was not developed, the player videos that scouts submitted to clubs were videotapes. There was news that clubs had so many videotapes of their players that the floor collapsed. This is true.
But what now?
vcd, dvd, usb disk, optical disc... it is estimated that in the future, they will be directly networked and data will be synchronized globally. This is a revolution.
With the development of technology, the research and analysis of games and players are becoming more and more in-depth. All kinds of massive information are exploding in an exponential manner, and finally gathered in the hands of the head coach.
The head coach is also a human being, how can he handle so much?
Therefore, one or even multiple professional data intelligence analysts are needed.
This is a kind of division of labor and cooperation.
And just imagine, a head coach is in a vast ocean that is changing all the time, iterating and innovating, and information is exploding. How does he control the direction he is heading? How does he continue to learn and add value to himself?
?
This requires bystanders like Sacchi and Valdano, and theories to guide the way.
Of course, this does not mean that their theories and understanding will definitely succeed.
On the contrary, it is likely that most of them will not succeed.
But even if it doesn't work out, this kind of thinking is valuable.
Just like Guardiola's dream third team is great, but this does not mean that the teams led by coaches such as Ferguson, Pellegrini, Simeone, Mourinho and Klopp during the same period failed.
value.
…
Gao Shen thought a lot, got out of control, and finally thought about it all night.
But he also figured out a lot of things.
For example, these two bad old men, Sacchi and Valdano, are actually very bad.
In front of them, Gao Shen was like a primary school student, and they were university professors, but they opened a door for Gao Shen, or it could be said that they drew a piece of pie and told him: kid, I see you have amazing bones.
This is the material for learning martial arts. As long as you listen to me, you will definitely become the best in the world.
Therefore, Gao Shen knew clearly that they were making cakes, but he still ate them with gusto.
Who doesn’t want to achieve greatness?
…………
…………
Perhaps it was because he was too brain-burning last night, and Gao Shen was listless at the coaching staff meeting in the morning.
The players are still on vacation, but the coaching staff must make plans based on the upcoming schedule.
The last round of La Liga is against Sevilla. After the last round, the team will set off to Paris to prepare for the Champions League final against Barcelona.
These two games are related to two heavy championships, and no one is willing to give up.
Sevilla's strength is outstanding.
Everyone knows that two-line operations are a nightmare for small and medium-sized teams because they cannot afford to form a large lineup. Therefore, teams like Everton, Villarreal and other teams perform well in a single schedule and have two-line operations.
The battle is in vain.
But Sevilla has performed very well in both La Liga and the UEFA Cup this season.
What is particularly noteworthy is that after selling Baptista and Ramos last summer, after cost-effective signings this season, their strength has not declined but has increased, and the management's operational capabilities have also been very successful.
Head coach Juande Ramos has also become famous due to his coaching this season, and there is a vague trend of becoming one of the first-tier coaches in Europe. The key depends on his next development.
For Sevilla, the main thing that needs to be wary of is their right wing.
Daniel Alves and Navas, this right offensive line is the strongest offensive line in La Liga this season. Alves has also early locked up the right back of La Liga's best team of the season this season.
Visiting the Pizjuan Stadium will definitely be a tough battle, but the problem for Real Madrid is that they must win this one.
At the same time, we have to consider the Champions League final three days later.
"To be honest, if we let go, our defense will probably be difficult. In Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Sevilla, all three goals conceded were planned on the right side. It is difficult to defend our left wing.
Stay." Maqueda said worriedly.
What he is talking about is when you let go and play offense.
No one needs to tell you how strong Alves and Navas are, Gao Shen knows it well.
If we still use the left combination of Felipe and Raul, the defensive problem will not be big, but three days later, at the Stade de France in Paris, how will Real Madrid fight against Barcelona?
The two games are too close and we cannot give up. We must win them all. This is the most difficult thing.
How to choose?
Gao Shen went through it several times in his mind. No matter how he arranged it, he found that there was something wrong.
Either he was not sure about suppressing Sevilla's right wing, or it was likely to affect the Champions League final.
Robinho, Cassano, and Zidane can all play on the left, but it is difficult for them to suppress Alves.
This kid is the core of Sevilla's offense, the right back with the most offensive power and outstanding strength.
On the contrary, there are more choices on the right, Cicinho and Arbeloa...
etc!
Gao Shen suddenly thought of a question, Arbeloa can play on both wings.
"What do you think if we let Arbeloa play as left back and push Felipe in front?" Gao Shen suddenly asked.
The left wing is mainly defensive, freezing Sevilla's attack on the right, while the right wing is mainly offensive, allowing Cicinho and Beckham to start together.
Everyone was stunned. Let Arbeloa play as left back?
Is this reliable?
Reliable!
Absolutely reliable!
Gao Shen clearly remembers that when Arbeloa became famous, wasn't he playing on the left wing for Liverpool and freezing Barcelona's right winger Messi?
Navas and Alves have different characteristics from Barcelona Messi, because Messi mainly cuts inside, but as long as Arbeloa and Felipe cooperate well, coupled with double midfielders, Gao Shen believes that the problem will not be
It will be very big.
The coaching staff all looked at each other, is this okay?
After all, Arbeloa was born on the right wing. Even if he changed positions, he only played in the middle in the youth team, but never on the left.
But the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was feasible.
"Let's do it this way. After the players come back in the afternoon, during group training, let Arbeloa try it." Gao Shen made a quick decision.
If it is really feasible, it will undoubtedly solve a major problem in Gaoshen.
As for playing Sevilla away from home, Gao Shen does not intend to fight his opponent to the death.
There is no way, there will be a Champions League final in three days. At this time, Sevilla will fight to the death. Whether they can win the championship depends on Barcelona's face. No matter how you look at it, it is not worthwhile.
Therefore, Gao Shen should just decide to win, there is no need to pursue the scene.
Although he agrees with what Sacchi and Valdano said, he is not yet at the stage of pursuing greatness.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
The most important thing for him now is to ensure that he can gain a foothold in the European League.
