827 The Unspeakable Existence You Can Only Understand
Thanks to "Thieves" and "Qingqing Little Wolf" for the reward!
--------------------------
Bielsa looked more anxious than before, thinking about how to equalize the score.
The game only lasted 25 minutes.
It was impossible for him to make a substitution, but Veron performed terribly.
3313.
Only this 1 is the most important.
Bielsa bet on Veron and Aimar, and gave up on Riquelme. Although Riquelme, who has a slower pace, may not perform too ideally even if he is on the court.
Because the England team is shameless, yes, in Bielsa's eyes, the England team is shameless.
Abandoning the dignity of the originator of modern football, the game was not played, and the momentum was weak by three points at first, because they took the initiative to retreat and engaged in intensive defense that usually only weak teams would put up.
Veron had Bart in front of him and Scholes in the back. They were both his teammates at Manchester United. They were restricted in a small area and could do nothing. This is why Argentina fought back and forth and could only circle on the wing.
, without Veron to deliver shells to the front line, Argentina's offensive poses no threat. Batty is unable to support himself. How can the God of War show his power if he is only allowed to grab high balls?
When Bielsa squatted down and thought about changing his moves, Aldridge had already celebrated with the coaching staff and players.
At this time, he was still standing on the sidelines with his head held high and his hands behind his back, motionless.
In this duel between Bielsa and Aldridge, judging from the body movements of the two coaches on the sidelines, Bielsa seemed more anxious, while Aldridge had a scheming air that did not match his appearance.
Martin Taylor, Andy Gray, and Lineker have begun to review and comment on the goal just now. The number one star Beckham naturally received a lot of praise. They believed that Beckham scored the first goal against Argentina.
, an extremely crucial goal, representing Beckham's revenge. Beckham got up again where he fell.
"Gary, you just said it reminds me of the 1974 World Cup final. What do you mean?"
"I saw Ashley Cole's movement and his assist to David. This scene was very shocking. It reminded me of the classic 1974 final. Of course, England is like Germany, but Argentina is not.
Like the Netherlands, they are much weaker than the Netherlands."
"Why?"
"Because of Ashley Cole, he..."
Lineker, who was very eloquent and had a lot of witty words during his commentary, couldn't go on at this point because he didn't know how to describe Ashley Cole's role in the attack just now.
This is a strange phenomenon.
It is unclear, the way is unclear. Thousands of thoughts are like a lump in the throat.
Argentina took the initiative to slow down the tempo after the restart, in order to cushion the blow of losing the ball and give Bielsa time to react on the spot. Everyone could see that after 25 minutes, even though England looked like a coward.
His posture, but the moment he pops his head out of the turtle shell and opens his mouth, it can really bite someone to death!
Just like Lineker, who was unable to explain the subtleties of England's attack he just witnessed, there are many top coaches who thought of this.
Aldrich turned his head and glanced at Bielsa, who was squatting on the sidelines with a solemn expression.
Master tactician?
It doesn't matter whether he is a master or not.
But since we meet here, you should at least show some convincing skills.
Attack, attack, attack again, crazy Bielsa.
It seems that other coaches don't know how to attack.
But if you attack and attack again and again, but don't score a goal, your opponent will only use intensive defense to restrain you. So what if you act like a madman? Why don't you still be disgraced?
Holding high the offensive banner seems to promote the passionate and romantic football aesthetics.
It's really a bit of a look down on people.
Whether it can be passionate or romantic is not up to the head coach!
Aldridge figured this out the day he coached Millwall at the age of 18. It was also summed up by his previous life experience and his travels and learning in this life.
Millwall initially defended against counterattacks. Eight years later, if they faced the two La Liga giants, if they still defended against counterattacks, they would have beaten the opponent to the point of losing their temper. However, Aldridge still took the initiative to attack and was not afraid of conceding the ball. Why? Because of Millwall.
You already have the capital to crush your opponents. Conceding goals? What does conceding count? I can just score more goals than you!
But now Argentina does not have such capital, absolutely not!
Every time you play against Nigeria, you have to rely on set pieces to score goals. There is basically no threat in sports battles except for long shots. When you play against England again, you still play like this. In Aldrich's eyes, it's not that Bielsa is crazy, but that he underestimated the world's most powerful players.
I, Aldrich Hall, have had eight glorious years, am I in vain?
In this game, Aldrich's formation seems to have remained unchanged, because the formation itself is dead and meaningless, but in terms of tactical arrangements, he has a good grasp of the opponent's seven inches.
By limiting Veron, Argentina's offense can only go wide.
Do Ortega and Gonzalez have the ability to break down England's wing defense on their own? Especially in England's intensive defense, in addition to Bart, there are also Beckham and Lampard who actively help defend the wing.
situation.
Since there is not, Solin and Zanetti will assist.
After this assist came up, the resulting problem was that Ortega and Gonzalez were deficient in the flexibility of wingers turning into forwards.
If these two people are Millwall's Henry, Larsson, or Klose, Argentina's strike power will at least increase several times.
Why?
Henry, Larsson, and Klose trained by Aldrich all have a strong awareness of center forwards pulling wide and wingers cutting inside, and they have integrated them well and can flexibly switch during the game. However, Argentina's forwards do not have this awareness and ability.
At a very high level, the threat is naturally severely reduced, and instead they are crowded on the wings. Even if they move to the middle, they are just running, and the coordination of passing and running is not in place.
After the offense piled up on the wings, when England switched from defense to offense, they focused on Argentina's wing defense. The biggest loophole in Argentina's defense is here. Their wing midfielders all assisted. Offensive football must be overwhelmed.
The opponent.
As a result, people saw the important role of McManaman. The speed of the fast break ensured that England quickly advanced the offense to a deep enough zone, tearing apart Argentina's third-line connection, destroying their overall defense, and the battle became
Partially.
McManaman pulled left and right, causing partial involvement in front of Argentina's 60-meter cross-section defense line. The second problem with Argentina's defense emerged. There were only 3 defenders in the 60-meter horizontal defense area.
You can imagine how huge the defensive pressure is. Owen's movement attracts, and Scholes's series and forward penetration. As long as England has another player, whether it is Beckham or Lampard, they can basically find an opening.
After diverting the attack, immediately blow up their defense.
Romantic football? Goodbye!
If England hadn't been unlucky, they would have scored long ago.
And when Argentina realizes the weakness of its wing defense, is there nothing England can do?
No, correspondingly. If Argentina strengthens its wing defense, the pressure on England's wing defense will decrease.
Then, what is released is the full-back.
This is Aldridge’s second important arrangement for this game. The first one is McManaman’s position, which is completely different from the last game against Sweden. The second one is Ashley Cole and Phil-
Neville, the first to show his strength was Ashley Cole.
If Aldridge could hear the live commentary in England and hear Lineker talk about the 1974 World Cup final, he would be interested in having a chat with Lineker if he was not in charge of the team.
That's right, the 1974 World Cup final gave birth to the most mysterious character on the football field who can only be understood and cannot be described in words.
This kind of role exists on the wing, and for the next 30 years, and even in the future, it will become one of the decisive roles on the football field!
In public perception, wide players fall into three categories: full-backs, full-backs, and wingers. They can be divided into many roles based on their functions, such as assist-type full-backs, classical wingers, and the like.
The importance of the wing role is often epoch-making, such as the demise of the classical winger, England's withdrawal of wingers and the establishment of wide midfielders to conquer the world, etc.
With the development of football in modern times, a consensus has basically been formed, that is, "three and a half defenders". No team's four defenders are static and only responsible for defensive tasks. For aggressive teams, both full-backs can assist.
Occupy the position of full midfielder or winger, but most teams do not dare to invest so much. Therefore, in a flowing game, there are usually three defenders, one-sided assists, and at the same time, they have to come back when defending. That is, no matter how it changes
, the main body is three and a half, and the smaller half is participating in the attack.
For a world-class team, the defense must at least ensure an iron triangle, with two central defenders and a midfielder. This not only ensures a certain degree of lateral defense, but also has a sense of hierarchy. In the future, Real Madrid will have a seemingly good defense line.
However, it is not surprising that the defensive midfielder is useless and allows the opponent to attack without any level. It is not surprising that the defense is poor. This goes against the development trend of football tactics.
Under the condition of ensuring the defensive triangle, how to arrange the players in the midfield and the front field, and how to operate the offensive system have left countless coaches racking their brains. Some are famous throughout the ages, and some are unknown. When it is developed to the extreme, the role of full-backs
Since the 1958 World Cup, assist-type full-backs have been on the highest stage in the world. As they become more popular and develop, it seems that there is no secret anymore.
Come to the 1974 World Cup. At that time, the Netherlands shocked the world with its all-offensive and all-defensive approach. How fierce was the Dutch attack? They advanced to the finals with 5 wins, 1 draw and only conceded 1 goal. They defeated the three South American heroes without conceding a goal and averaged more than 20 shots per game.
! Played against Sweden, 36 shots, played against Argentina, a crazy 40 shots! With this crazy offensive investment, they only conceded one goal. This is the peak offensive and defensive performance.
The final was held in Munich. The West German team faced the Netherlands. No one was not afraid of the Dutch team, and the West German team was no exception. They were thinking hard about how to defeat the Netherlands. At this time, Kramer, a German Emperor Franz Beckenbauer,
Someone who had an influence on the idea of libero recommended a set of technical and tactical play to the West German team, specifically to restrain the Dutch team's total offense and defense. To put it bluntly, it is to seize opportunities based on the discovery of flaws.
In the game, Bonhoff, who seemed to be a wide midfielder, was all-powerful and sprinted more than 40 meters to create an opportunity on the baseline. Only then did Muller score the winning goal.
That game made the Dutch team the uncrowned king. They were so crazy that they didn't win the championship.
The German team has also brought new tactical ideas to modern football, and it seems to have broken a barrier in the use of wide players.
A brand new role was born. But there is no precise definition. Because this role is on the wing, sometimes like a defender, sometimes like a forward, with no fixed position and no fixed area of activity. In Europe, most people call this role "variant".
"Front", the Italians named it "Rotating Winger". The Argentinians call it "Blower".
Why can this kind of role only be imagined and unspeakable? Because you cannot describe its exact position to define his name on the field. Count the names of each position on the field, whether it is a deep-lying organization, a nine-and-a-half, or an attacking forward.
, column center, wing midfielder, etc., all have a large frame or three-dimensional depiction, but this role does not.
Why is this character mysterious?
Because most head coaches can't describe it clearly. When dealing with the outside world, they just talk about some cliché positions in a very formulaic way, and reporters are unwilling to write about them even though they are brilliant. Because readers will think that they are fooling people, just like Cruyff would tell reporters in private.
It is said that he played in the 312211 formation, but would the reporter write that in the newspaper? If he actually wrote it, readers would just laugh at the reporter as an idiot.
Just like some teams start with 451, but when defending, at the last line of defense, you will find that there are 6 people lined up. Is this a 4-back formation?
This kind of "change of front" has become an invisible but crucial force in the tactical competition in the football circle. After 1974, teams that wanted to imitate, such as the Brazilian team, were unable to do so at the cost of 10 years of failure.
.
It's too difficult. You can't train such players full-time, because it will become a double-edged sword, which may destroy the entire tactical system. Also, because it cannot become mainstream, no team will focus on building such players.
England's goal, from start to finish, Ashley Cole assisted, and then provided an assist to Beckham in the midfielder area.
However, if you think about it, why is he there? Why doesn't he support McManaman from the wing? That is the responsibility of his full-back!
If Ashley Cole plays this way throughout the game, throughout the season, and throughout his career, can he still be a surprise player every time? Or will he become a cancer in the tactical system?
It is precisely because there are too many factors at play that "changing the front" cannot become the mainstream, and it can only shine under certain circumstances.
In the past 20 years of world competitions, whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup, this "changing forward" has become an invisible force driving the evolution of football tactics. There are even some self-contained 3-back formations that are derived from
this.
In modern times, "changing forwards" has always been the pursuit of top coaches. Once it can be used well, it will be miraculous. For example, in the last game between Argentina and Nigeria, who was the only shot in the penalty area before Argentina scored?
Solin, a midfielder and wide player, broke into the penalty area and came to the forward area to shoot. Unfortunately, it was only once, which shows that Argentina is not proficient in the use of changing forwards.
In 2006, when Lahm scored the first goal in the opening game of the World Cup, he got the ball from the wing, then cut inside and passed two people, and completed a long-range shot in the area between the midfielder and the winger. It was also that time.
In the World Cup, the amazing Grosso, when Italy faced Australia with one less player, went forward without hesitation. He got the ball in the winger area and started to work as a forward. Finally, after passing one person in the penalty area, he was defeated by Nigeria.
I tripped and he was nowhere near the goal
No more than 10 yards. Under normal circumstances, it can be said that a player has a flash of inspiration, but if you think about it carefully, in the World Cup, there is one less player. At the last moment of the game, Italy has to rely on a full-back to rush up and do the work of the forward. This is very special.
Did Rosso get the best of him, or did Lippi have the tact to maximize the essence of changing forwards? Thinking about it on the other hand, without Lippi's nod, would Grosso have the courage to rush forward? And he wouldn't pass the ball to the forward.
Working alone?
In the final analysis, the emergence of "changing forwards" is a compromise in which football has reached a realistic bottleneck but cannot pursue the highest level.
The Dutch concept of total offense and total defense in which everyone can play as a forward and everyone can switch to a defender and perform whatever duties they stand in is too free and the creativity is too amazing. It is simply a dream and an extreme, but in reality
That is, players are not gods. Players must be given a framework.
Only with these shackles can a team of 11 players run smoothly. If 10,000 teams pursue the highest ideal of total offense and total defense, there will only be 9,999 collapses, and what is left?
Called the Netherlands, its highest achievement is the World Cup runner-up, gaining the honor of being the uncrowned king.
But within the rigid framework, the techniques and tactics would be unoriginal and too predictable. Therefore, there was a change of striker, the German team's later famous free man, the rise of the modern winger, and the emergence of modern wingers.
With the emergence of lagging organizations, there are various creations that can only explode at a certain point, a certain person, and a certain position. This is a compromise between reality and ideals, but every change still has a huge impact on modern football.
.
Aldridge's research, experimentation, and application of forward changes have already begun. However, because this kind of change forward has never been mainstream and is not a role that can be routinely created, it can only be used on the spot in a suitable game background, as the Europeans say.
As I said, the focus is changing. If it becomes a rigid and fixed routine, what is the meaning of the change? What is the point of the unexpected change?
He has used it before at Millwall. The earliest key use can be traced back to the first year of the Champions League. Facing Juventus' last-minute struggle, Schneider pressed forward, giving up the wing and going inside to create opportunities.
The goal that opened Millwall and defeated Juventus came from this.
Since then, Zambrotta and Schneider's performances in many critical battles have had the shadow of this change of direction. Because Zambrotta has stronger physical fitness, Zambrotta is more outstanding, which is why he can
The reason for competing for the best full-back in the world is also the reason why Aldridge basically did not use a wide midfielder or a traditional winger as long as the main full-back came on the court a long time ago. (To be continued...)
