Chapter 157 World-class central defender(1/2)

Lazio player Pavin's defensive performance surprised many people.

Because he is so tough that it just doesn't look like him anymore.

In any case, Pavin did not feel that iron-blooded temperament when he was defending. His movements looked elegant when defending, but he lacked ruthlessness. Therefore, he was powerless against forwards who were more ruthless than him.

.

At this time, we have to rely on the silent Jose Passarella.

So it's no wonder that among the Spanish center back combination of him and Passarella, Jose Passarella gets more praise.

Jose Passarella is really an excellent central defender. After several years of training, his muscle strength has also been greatly improved.

It can be said that Jose Passarella basically has no obvious weaknesses and is the perfect central defender that all coaches dream of.

Pavin, who is next to Jose Passarella, is inevitably criticized. When comparing him with Passarella, he always feels that he is not strong enough. His weak defensive style is what people often criticize.

So people will always underestimate him.

But unexpectedly, in this game, Pavin surprised everyone.

In the next game, Pavin was still very tough.

Whether it was defense or fouling, he was very clean and tidy.

Of course, although his fouls were hard, they were not really serious fouls. Some of them were just pulling on his clothes to slow down the opponent's breakthrough movement.

Most of these fouls are not worthy of a yellow card. In addition, this game is at Lazio's home court, so the referee gives a verbal warning.

But Pavin is not that stupid. If he can solve the problem without fouling, he will not use fouling.

Fouls are only used to deter the enemy.

Sure enough, when Real Madrid launched the attack again, they would hesitate when facing Pavin.

Because the central defender in front of me should be weak, but now he is very tough.

In the previous confrontations, they all failed.

Should we continue to break through from this point?

Schuster looked at Chang Sheng.

He now has such a question.

That's why he suspected that Chang Sheng deliberately let Real Madrid do this.

They dug a trap to show their weakness to the enemy, and then let Real Madrid jump into it and never get out again.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Otherwise, why was Chang Sheng so low-key before the game?

With his fighting instinct, he is a mad dog. He must bite anyone he sees. Coupled with the grudge between him and Real Madrid, how could he be so silent?

Generally speaking, there must be a reason for his silence...

The more Schuster thought about it, the more likely it became.

With his often victorious and cunning character, the probability of this is very high.

In this case, I can't let him get what he wants.

So Schuster came to the sidelines and loudly reminded his players to stop attacking Pavin.

Modify tactics and make more flowers bloom.

Real Madrid players followed the coach's instructions and stopped assisting Pavon.

Pavin's pressure eased.

Pavin looked at the boss on the sidelines. He squatted on the ground again.

This was the first time he had the opportunity to relive his old dream since that game six years ago.

The form was exactly the same. The opponent regarded him as a soft persimmon and concentrated their superior forces to break through him.

Fortunately, this time, he knew the right answer.

He changed his approach.

Then the enemy retreated like a tide.

The defensive pressure on himself suddenly eased.

To be honest, when Pavin first did this, he didn't know whether he could support it until the end amid Real Madrid's successive attacks.

He was very worried. If the opponent finally succeeded in breaking through him, wouldn't the result still be the same?

Now he breathed a sigh of relief.

The boss is right!

※※※

When Real Madrid no longer only attacks Pavin's side, Lazio's defensive pressure is actually lessened.

Although they attacked more places, the intensity of their attacks was weakened.

Just like hammering a nail, why is it easier to break the target if the front of the nail is made pointed? But it is not so easy if it is replaced with a blunt one.

The principle is the same.

Previously, it was Pavin who bore the sharp attacks in Real Madrid's attack.

Now, Real Madrid's offense has become blunt and the threat is much smaller.

After the pressure on the defense was relieved, Lazio's offense began to speed up.

This kind of speed makes Real Madrid very uncomfortable.

When they felt the football was still at Khedira's feet, their defensive attention shifted to Khedira.

But when they were about to defend Khedira's hand, Khedira passed the ball.

Modric did not stop the ball, he directly passed the ball out.

This time Real Madrid's players didn't even have time to prepare to defend him.

The football was constantly being passed back and forth in front of the Real Madrid players. When some balls were passed, onlookers would think that the ball was passed incorrectly.

But when the camera moves forward, everyone will find that a Lazio player appeared at the landing point of the football on time and then received the ball.

This kind of passing requires almost no thinking and observation, and is completely instinctive.

This instinct is developed through countless passing and catching exercises in training.

There is no shortcut to success. Even if there are cheats to win, it still requires players to train persistently.

Chang Sheng and his coaching staff imagined many situations, and then put the players into such environments, forcing them to quickly pass and cut.

At first everyone would find it unbelievable because the passing speed was too fast and they couldn't pass it accurately at all.

But Chang Sheng asked them to practice and practice non-stop.

Finally, everyone can see the results.

Their passing is becoming more and more accurate, no matter what the environment.

But after they pass the ball, they know how to move and where to appear.

In this way, teammates can directly pass the ball in this direction without thinking or observing, and they will definitely be able to catch the ball.

This is the reason for Lazio's current tactics.

Continuous passing and running. This is the basis of winning tactics.

It couldn't be simpler.

But not many people can crack it.

Because not every team can complete so many boring passing drills day after day.

And every team has its own style, and you can’t force it.

Real Madrid seemed a bit overwhelmed by Lazio's passing.

In the end, they could only huddle in the penalty area and defend.

But even so, facing Lazio's fast passing, they were still stunned.

Towards the end of the first half, Lazio sent the ball into the penalty area through a series of dazzling defense.

Falcao leaned on center back Cannavaro in front of the goal, relying on his physical and strength advantages. The former world's best center back was unable to do anything.

Cannavaro's physical fitness is declining rapidly. He is blocked by Falcao. He has no choice but to follow Falcao and stretch his legs forward to reach the ball, hoping to poke the ball away first.

Falcao simply leaned back, squeezing Cannavaro back and keeping him away from the football.

Then he extended his foot and pushed, and the football flew into the goal guarded by Casillas...
