Chapter 512 The First Divine Formation of All Time
Chapter 512 The First Divine Formation from Ancient Times to Tomorrow
Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly
"They can see that with Moussa Sissoko on the pitch, Tottenham are playing very active on both wings."
"They made full use of the width of the pitch and stretched York City's defense. As a result, York City had more spaces."
"The opportunity Eriksen got just now on the outside of the penalty area was because other Tottenham players attracted the attention of the defensive players and created an opening for him!"
Alan Shearer in the commentary room felt that the world-class long-range shot just now was the most exciting attack in the game so far.
"Yes, Tottenham's players are all as capable as York City's players, which makes Tottenham dare to let their players play on the field, while York City must rely on a tenacious team to suppress it."
Lineker now also feels that the game is starting to become more exciting.
From a tactical point of view, Noscaloni's iron barrel formation completely suppressed Tottenham's attacking group in the half. However, in the eastern half, Pochettino replaced Lamela and replaced Moussa Sissoko.
Ke, that leg can be said to be a good one.
After the two wings were activated, Tottenham seemed to have opened up the situation, and beautiful offensive scenes came one after another.
"Alain, what do I think Scaloni will do next?" Lineker was getting more and more interested in that game.
"He found it quite difficult. The twenty minutes after the reception from East were the best time for Tottenham to establish their advantage, but York City had no cards left to play." Alan Shearer shook his head, "They
After all, a League One team basically relies on a main lineup to play, which is why they gave up the League Cup and the British Championship early. Take a look at their bench, it can be said,
No one else present can change that situation!"
Lineker said: "Is it possible to use a veteran like Joe Partington or Gary Fletcher? They have all played in the Premier League. Although they are older now, they should be able to help the team strengthen the team.
Is it from Dongfeng’s defense?”
Alan Shearer thought for a while and nodded: "There is also that kind of Coco. But looking at it now, it is difficult to confirm how he will adjust. Change to a forward? There is a lot of defensive pressure now, and it is indeed true to put two forwards in front.
It’s of no use.”
"It makes sense." Lineker also nodded. "Increasing the number of midfielders to strengthen the defense, and then putting a forward in front for counterattacks seems to be a bad strategy for York City."
When the two shut up, the live broadcast screen shifted to York City's coaching bench.
I saw Scaloni turn around and call out, and immediately a player who was walking on the bench ran out to warm up.
A few minutes later, York City took advantage of the dead ball and began to make substitutions.
Joe Partington ran to the scene, and then the referee raised the substitution sign to signal the main center Baker to the East Court, and he was replaced by Joe Partington. The two hugged on the sidelines, and then separated in the East Court.
As a result of this tactical adjustment, York City's lineup has also undergone some changes.
First of all, if Amon plays as a lone forward at the front, Joe Partington and Rice stand in front of Xavi Alonso, forming an inverted triangle with three midfielders, and the formation also becomes one.
After Joe Partington is on the court, his main task is to assist Alphonso Davies on the wing to guard Moussa Sissoko on that side.
As a result, York City's defense became stronger.
Joe Partington and Alphonso Davis on the left combined to control Moussa Sissoko, which gave Alonso and Rice more energy to help defend Son Heung-min and Dan on the other side.
Rose, while Eriksen and Moussa Dembele in the middle were no longer as active as before after being controlled on the two wings.
Seemingly uneasy, Scaloni called from the sidelines for Armand to retreat, and also helped the midfielder to steal the ball.
Aman is not a pure kicker. His speed and body allow him to run in various areas of the frontcourt, making him a perfect "pressing forward" candidate.
So now he often appears outside the penalty area to help defend.
All 11 people on the field were engaged in defense, and the frontcourt was completely thrown to Tottenham, but the wrong side was left helpless.
That also made several Tottenham defenders who were in a dominant position but could not score, move forward continuously, trying to give more support to their teammates.
At this time, Amon will suddenly advance forward, ready to receive the pass from the backcourt at any time, especially the precise long pass from Alonso.
That kind of strategy also made Tottenham not dare to press hard with all their strength, making the game a bit uncomfortable.
"Scaloni is indeed a very capable head coach. His tactics in that game were very wrong. Especially defensively, he gave Tottenham almost no chance. It can be seen that he was wrong.
Tottenham have studied it very thoroughly." Alan Shearer said with admiration.
After hearing this, Lineker burst into laughter: "Of course, Scaloni must have learned a lot from playing under Pan Yi! To be honest, he has always felt that standing on the sidelines and directing now is not enough.
As for Pan Yi, many routines look very familiar!"
Alan Shearer also laughed after hearing this.
This is not a typical "Pan Chui" statement, but it seems irrefutable.
After all, Scaloni has stated in public more than once that he learned everything he knows from Pan Yi...
——
Tottenham's backcourt, especially the center backs, don't dare to press hard, but their trident and midfielder can press hard, and the assists from the full backs can also be very sharp.
Coupled with the advantage in the situation, Tottenham will be able to play a good offensive coordination.
In the 65th minute, they opened up a little space by attacking from the right.
The extremely fast Walker drove the ball along the right sideline, rushed to the 30-meter area of York City, and suddenly made a long pass.
After the ball crossed most of the field, it landed on the outside left corner of York City's penalty area.
At that time, the gap was unguarded.
York City's defense also adjusted quickly, and Jianyang Fuyasu ran over immediately.
Danny Rose stopped the ball directly to Eriksson behind him, and quickly moved forward.
The Danish midfielder understood the idea and kicked the ball directly behind the defense.
But the force of the pass was a little too strong. Danny Rose chased after it and managed to kick it. The ball hit the side netting directly.
"That offense did not pose a threat, but Tottenham's entire offense and defense were quite organized and thoughtful."
"Especially Walker's long pass. When everyone thought he was looking for a high point outside the penalty area, he suddenly moved to the weak side. It was indeed very thoughtful."
"The 26-year-old England international performed very well at Tottenham in those seasons. I heard that he has attracted the attention of Manchester City. Guardiola hopes to bring him to improve after the end of the season."
Soon, Tottenham stole the ball in midfield again.
After Moussa Dembele stole the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Eriksen. The latter took the ball to the foot of Son Heung-min, and then passed it forward to Vicente Jensen.
When Vicente Jensen stopped the ball with his back, he turned sideways to the right and immediately passed the ball to Moussa Sissoko on the right. The substitute French winger dribbled the ball into the York City wing, and then
Dong Di Chuan.
Seriously, the pass was a little too big, no one touched the ball in the middle, and it went directly out of the sideline on the other side.
"Tottenham are attacking more and more fiercely now, and York City's current situation is a bit unfavorable."
"Although Scaloni used a defensive formation with three midfielders, Tottenham's generals continued to create offensive opportunities. York City must be careful."
"Vicent Jensen dropped back again and received the ball with his back."
"Now Tottenham's three attacking legs in the frontcourt often retreat, which can better open up York City's defense."
"Look at that time, Vicente Jensen stopped the ball and walked to the left, Danny Rose had already rushed forward, waiting for Vicente Jensen's pass."
"It was a good time. Vicente Jensen did not pass the ball. He led the ball forward by himself. After attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball."
"Danny Rose got the ball in the left corner of the penalty area and then crossed it into the penalty area to find Vicente Jensen."
"Stop the ball with your back, turn around, and hit the goal directly!"
"Nice attack."
"Vicent Jensen's shot hit De Ligt and the ball bounced out."
"I'm very good at Tottenham and have a good chance."
"Then pass it to Son Heung-min, that side is a bit empty. Cross the ball from the east end and look for Vicente Jensen."
"After being pushed out, Eriksen hit again and volleyed!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the entire West Siberia Stadium, and the 20,000 York City fans were shocked to see it.
Eriksen's volley was very high-quality, but the height was not suppressed and was slightly too high.
Although they didn't score, Tottenham did play well at that time, but the home team York City didn't even have a chance to break into Tottenham's penalty area, let alone hit the goal.
Therefore, the York City fans present could not help but worry about their side.
It seems that York City's coach is not in a hurry, and neither is the owner.
Scaloni has been sitting comfortably on the coaching bench, while Pan Yi is still chatting with Levi calmly, as if the critical situation present has nothing to do with him.
And here, after being bombarded for more than ten minutes, York City gradually stabilized its position.
Tottenham gradually focused on controlling the ball and began to slowly advance forward.
Is that actually normal?
The stormy attack at the beginning of the east half consumed a lot of players' energy.
If Tottenham can't wait until it's good, they will be exhausted early and will be very passive in the early stages of the game.
Even if Pochettino's team is known for its youth and runnability, it cannot withstand such consumption.
After the wrong side slowed down its offensive, York City began to gather heavy troops near the center line.
With three midfielders + two midfielders, the Tottenham midfielder who got the ball by mistake started to rush!
When Eriksen wanted to pass the ball across to Moussa Dembélé, Rice took the lead and snatched the ball away.
Rice first handed the ball to Alonso, who kicked the ball to Kulusevski who quickly advanced on the right side.
After Kulusevski stopped the ball with his chest, he turned and passed it to Aman who ran over to meet him.
Amon received the ball between Tottenham's midfielder and central defender. Vertonghen came close to him immediately, but Amon blocked Langer with his body and then accelerated to throw him away.
When Fuan Jian's toy edge was inserted behind him, Aman also distributed the ball to the right, and then rushed forward quickly.
Fuan Jianyang dribbled the ball to the right side of Tottenham's penalty area. After Aman was in place, he passed the ball directly to find Aman's spot.
Of course, now that Baker is not present, York City's passing strategy has changed from "passing high-altitude balls" to "passing low-level balls." In this way, it can avoid Amon's disadvantage in height and not use his talents.
Advantages in speed and running position.
At that time, Amon had just rushed into the right side of Tottenham's penalty area. After stopping the ball sideways with the instep of his outside foot, Ma Zai passed the ball across the ball to the east of Joe Partington's foot near the penalty spot.
At that time, Tottenham's entire defense was pressed into the center and right side of the penalty area.
Joe Partington had no chance to kick. After blocking Alderweireld with his body, he passed the ball back to the left side of the top of the penalty area.
Then I saw Lin Liangming rushing over!
He had already been prepared, waiting for Joe Partington's return pass to take a shot.
The ball flew out at extremely fast speed and hit the right side of the goal.
Tottenham goalkeeper Lori's attention was initially focused on Joe Partington in the middle, and he didn't even notice Lin Liangming rushing in from the other side.
And Lin Liangming’s shot was of extremely high quality!
Not only did he suppress the ball, but the ball was also very fast and at a very awkward angle, almost grazing the right post and entering the net.
"GoaLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 80th minute, Lin Liangming scored for York City! 1:0!!!"
"Oh my god, no one thought that after Tottenham besieged York City for almost a whole game, York City would not open the scoring! A back pass from Joe Partington, Lin Liangming's kick kicked the world, and it was York City's first goal.
City scored a crucial goal!”
"Could it be that Tottenham attacked too fiercely in the past, which caused their physical fitness and concentration to drop to varying degrees, and there were also problems with the defense that time. And that small problem was solved by York City
Got it!"
"Perhaps York City's ability to pass and control the ball is not as good as Tottenham's. Perhaps York City's players are indeed young. Perhaps York City's players do not have as many famous players as Tottenham. But those young players scored first at the West Siberia Stadium.
!”
"That's incredible, but no, that's not football!"
"Is that the reason why Scaloni and Pan Yi were so passive in York City that Dongbu didn't panic? They have been waiting for such an opportunity!"
"Pan Yi's team will once again create painful memories for Tottenham, although that time did not mean that Pan Yi personally coached..."
——
Pan Yi was walking in the stands of the West Siberia Stadium. The moment he saw Lin Liangming score, he was full of surprises. He couldn't help but stand up and applaud the team's performance.
To set up an iron barrel formation and wait for Tottenham to relax before launching a surprise attack would really go against the script he and Scaloni had planned.
But the court is changing rapidly, and sometimes the script doesn't work as planned.
Therefore, Pan Yi was very excited when he saw that York City really played a textbook counterattack.
It’s fun to defeat the strong with the weak!
Just like when I play a FM game and win with a wealthy team, it usually doesn't happen;
But if a team in League One and League Two were to upset East Liverpool or Manchester City in a game like the FA Cup, Coco would jump with joy in front of the computer screen.
Levi, who was walking next to Pan Yi, touched his bald head and looked helpless.
In the past, when Pan Yi led Chelsea, Tottenham had no problem playing against them;
There is only one League One team in Pan Yi's career now. Why do Tottenham look like they are not willing to lose?
"It's ten minutes, they may not win." Pan Yi patted Levi on the shoulder while celebrating and comforted, "It's too early to say who will lose and who will win."
Levi: "..."
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with what he said, but now that Pan Yi was saying it to him, it felt like it wasn't quite wrong.
My team has been attacking for 80 minutes and has nothing to do against York City. Now that I am behind, I can score a goal?
Levi himself didn't believe that logic.
And it seemed that Levi would give up even more. At this time, there was a little change in York City.
Forward Amon's position has been moved further back, and the team's formation has become one, with no forward at all!
Everyone completely gave up attacking, and stood at the front of their own penalty area, setting up a bus in unity!
Is it really a bus this time?
When many people mention defense, their first impression is that they don't care about defense.
In fact, setting up a bus is the worst way to defend yourself. If you are forced to do so, no one is willing to set up a bus.
The reason is very simple. Once the bus is set up, the scene will be too passive and it will be difficult to form an effective counterattack.
York City's defense will actually emphasize its flexibility and level tomorrow.
Through a layered and flexible defensive system, the offensive threat of wrong legs is blocked from the penalty area, while leaving room for organizing threatening counterattacks.
But that's not what the York City players did 80 minutes ago.
In those first 10 minutes, it was really a pure bus!
Strictly observe discipline and procrastinate until the time is full, otherwise the time will be used up abruptly.
Because Scaloni knew that because there were so few people involved in the offense, it would be difficult to replicate the loopholes like Tottenham's just now, and it could only be caught once.
Once the wrong side is on guard, whether Bu Xin can guard against Fuan Jianyang or whether Amang can guard against Joe Partington behind him, the attack can be killed in advance.
Therefore, instead of taking the risk of investing troops in front only to be found by Tottenham, it is better to take advantage of the one-goal lead and defend with all your strength!
Under such conditions, it is absolutely wrong to set up a bus and it will always be the first divine formation in the past and the present.
Teams all over the world will play impatiently when they are behind and facing a crowded defense, and Tottenham are no exception.
When they pass the ball in front of the penalty area, they often see that there is no way to penetrate it, so they try their luck with a cross, or they just take a random shot.
But such attempts are often blocked by York City players who are crowded outside the penalty area.
And when York City players get the ball in the backcourt, they often fly towards it with a big kick, or even drive directly to the sideline.
At that time, the home field advantage came into play again. The youth training players who served as ball boys at York City were of course very good, and they often took a long time to hand over the ball.
The anxious Tottenham players often rush over and throw away, but it turns out that another big kick is waiting for them...
And if York City can get the ball in the frontcourt, it would be embarrassing. If they get the ball directly, they will run to the corner kick area.
Amon and Lin Liangming would play with Tottenham players for a long time at the corner flag, and then kick the wrong player and get another corner kick.
If you go one, two or two, the time will be quickly consumed.
When the referee finally blew the final whistle, the 20,000 spectators jumped to their feet!
In the special month of tomorrow, York City also made an upset, defeating Tottenham with all their main players in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and broke into the fifth round!
Even the most optimistic York City fans could not have imagined before the game that that team could actually win at the West Siberian Stadium. That is simply unbelievable!
The entire stadium suddenly became a sea of joy.
And of course the enthusiasm for that game after the game has not diminished.
Can the media who are pro-Spurs swear and be arrogant before the game, but after the game, they all become like mourners?
After the game, they immediately began to share the blame to see who was responsible for the conceded goal. Head coach Pochettino was not spared and was under tremendous pressure from public opinion.
More British media were generally wrong to sing praises to York City.
They are even looking ahead to York City's miracle run in the FA Cup.
After all, York City has now reached the top 16. Even if they have reached the final or even won the championship, what's wrong with it?
In other games in this round, Liverpool lost to Wolves 1:2 and were eliminated. This made York City seem to have lost another strong opponent.
Of course, more strong teams will pass the test.
Chelsea defeated Brentford 4:0, Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 3:0, and Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 4:0. They have also entered the top 16.
As for how those strong teams are playing, it has nothing to do with York City for the time being.
Because that time, York City drew a good lottery.
Will their wrong leg come from the National League, meaning Wrexham in the fifth tier!
