Chapter 148 Detailed Analysis of Traditional 442 Tactics
(one)
The central defender positioning method of the "English model" is different from the sweeping free man in the "German academic school". This is one of the most obvious differences between the two tactics.
The two central defenders stand in parallel positions, mainly assisting in defense, and take turns to intervene according to the situation on the field.
Not only will everything be fine if they stand in parallel positions! The two central defenders can also take turns to attack in parallel positions. There are three conditions.
The first condition is that the goalkeeper has comprehensive abilities and is worthy of a big job. Currently, Fulham’s 1.96-meter-tall Australian 38-year-old national goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is performing steadily. This veteran goalkeeper who has played for Middlesbrough for 12 seasons is in good condition.
Not only did he not decline, but it was his second golden period.
At this point, Hodgson succeeded at Fulham, but Horton did not find a goalkeeper who reassured him and could take on the task in the Chinese Olympic team. One of the basic conditions was not met.

The second condition is that the height, speed, physical fitness and other innate conditions of the two central defenders must be outstanding.
At this point, Fulham's 1.95-meter Smalling and 1.94-meter Han Gelan were favored by Manchester United and Arsenal because of their outstanding basic qualities. Smalling was absent in this game, and Han Gelan was absent.
Guerlain will partner with another 1.85 meter centre-back, Northern Ireland national team captain Chris Baird.
The two central defenders of the Chinese Olympic team at that time were Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi. The alternative was Shu Chang. Frankly speaking, he was already the strongest that China could choose.
How do Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi compare with Smalling and Han Gaelin, who are favored by Manchester United and Arsenal? Let’s not talk about football skills, but talk about physical fitness. Then, how do you compare Shu Chang with the captain of the Northern Ireland national team?
Don't forget, Fulham with this combination is only a mid-table team in the Premier League.

The third condition is that the formation with two central defenders standing in parallel will have particularly high requirements for the two full-backs. They are required to advance and attack, retreat and defend, insert at high speed, and return to defense in time. There is no need for the central defender to control too much.
Put all your energy into filling the holes where they miss people and defenses.
At this point, Fulham's current two full-backs are slightly different, especially the left-back, which has always been Fulham's weakest link. In this position, Hodgson's trust in Konchesky, who is in a dilemma, also makes fans quite satisfied.
Micro words.
The fame of left-back Konchesky is more due to his appearance in the sports movie "One Goal to Fame". As a left-back, he was a marginal figure during Charlton and West Ham United, but in Fuller
However, Koncheski has the trust of Hodgson. Koncheski's breakthrough crosses and long passes from the wing are very accurate, but Koncheski's speed is slow and he often assists and then his opponent seizes the opportunity from the area he defends.
Tear the opening.
Right back Aaron Hughes is the opposite of Konchesky. His running and stealing on the defensive end are very stable, but he has almost no assist data. On the contrary, when the center back assists, Aaron who is 1.83 meters tall
Hughes often goes to cover the position left by the central defender, especially when he plays with his Northern Ireland national team teammate Baird, the cooperation is more tacit. Baird often goes to cover Koncheski's hole on the left.
The gap he left was defended by Aaron Hughes.
Let’s talk about the Olympic team at that time. Sun Jihai was the one who really excelled later. Several other players, such as Tao Wei, Liu Junwei, Ma Yongkang, and Zhang Yonghai, all had a certain gap compared with Sun Jihai.

In fact, apart from the three basic conditions, the most important thing is training.
Hodgson's requirements for midfield defense, like Horton's, also require players to adopt "pressure, zone marking and defensive counterattacks through direct passes", and this tactical requirement can only be achieved through extensive training.
In the "Coaching Manual" that had a profound influence on Hodgson and Horton, Alan Wade believed that practice must be relevant to specific situations in the game to be most effective, so it is necessary to establish a set of coaching theories based on specific game situations.
Hodgson once said: "If you are a golfer, you need to spend hours on the court practicing your serve. If you play golf, you have to go to a specific club and spend hours practicing a specific swing. Football
We also need this kind of culture, there is no reason to spend 10 minutes doing something and then have a 5-a-side game."
Chen Zhuo agrees with the training ideas of Hodgson and Horton. Some players may find it boring when training with Ruud van Nistelrooy, but neither Chen Zhuo nor Ruud van Nistelrooy will. They also have theories on training.
In terms of cognitive consent, what is the role of training? The role of training is to allow players to respond directly due to the neural habitual memory brought about by training when encountering situations in the game.
This repetition, repetition and repetition was described by the Swedish media as: "They established a set of principles that can be used in a series of combinations to make the team an organic whole. Every moment in the game has been theorized,
Under this style, every minute and second in the game can be explained theoretically, can be used as intuitive teaching examples in training, and can be regarded as an integral part of the game."
There are also many voices of opposition to this kind of systematic training. For example, Lars Arnesen, the former technical director of the Swedish team, believes that the British system is "anti-human" and feels that such mechanical training turns players into "robots".
However, the effect is still obvious. Horton and Hodgson actually studied this theory of "system training" and "tactical discipline" in the mid-to-late 1970s. In the subsequent cooperation between the two, Malmö won five championships in six seasons.
After the split in 1985, Hodgson won two more league titles and two cup titles in four years, while Horton used this system to win the league title in 1985.
In 1986, he helped the head coach of the Saudi Etihad team win the league championship and reach the finals of the Confederations Cup and the Saudi King's Cup. After returning to Sweden in 1987, Horton coached Gothenburg and performed with Hodgson's Malmo in Sweden."
"Two heroes competing for hegemony", the two contemporary England coach Swedish Eriksson admitted that he was deeply influenced by Horton and Hodgson.
But seeing this, Chen Zhuo also roughly understood why Horton failed in China. The Olympic team trained intermittently, and there was no time for Horton to slowly train and help players get rid of bad habits like he did in the club.
Moreover, Chinese audiences have a "result-only" way of thinking and choose to automatically ignore the process of "training".
Later, Shanghai Pudong, Sichuan Quanxing, Zhejiang Greentown and Shenyang Jinde coached by Horton were all teams without championship appearance and championship background!
The most important thing is that the owners of those teams have a mentality of buying lottery tickets and gambling. "Take a free kick for two yuan and score five million with one kick." They are all waiting for a miracle with this mentality.
Even if Lippi accepts the above-mentioned teams, he still leaves in despair! Fortunately, the owner of Evergrande... Should Lao Xu be regarded as a "tycoon" or a "tycoon"? It's still hard to say yet.

Regardless of the tycoon or the tycoon, let’s talk about Hodgson and Horton’s classic 4-4-2.
When the full-backs dribble the ball and provide assists, the functions of the two full-backs will focus more on defense, so as to achieve a balance between offense and defense.
Chen Zhuo also tried to use Elia's speed to play the left back, and then used Spannell at the full midfielder position to act as a firewall in front of the left back to achieve a balance between offense and defense.
In front of Fulham's defensive-oriented right back Aaron Hughes is a more offensive midfielder, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy, who has been selected for the England national team 9 times, and Danny Murphy, who has played for Liverpool for 7 years.
Murphy is also Liverpool's number one penalty kick taker, with a 100% penalty kill rate in 7 seasons.
In addition to the penalty kick master, Danny Murphy also has a record, "Manchester United's nemesis". In the 0001 season, 0102 season and 0304 season, when Liverpool defeated Manchester United 1:0 at Old Trafford, all the goals were scored.
Danny Murphy, who usually rarely scores goals, scored the first goal when Fulham defeated Manchester United 3-0 at home this season.
According to conventional analysis, in front of Konchesky, who is weak in defense, there should be a wide midfielder with strong defensive ability. Even if his assists and offensive abilities are almost the same, there is no problem. However, the ability of Fulham's starting left midfielder is better than this.
The basic requirements are many times higher!
The left side is one of Fulham's important offensive points this season. The left midfielder is Duff, who just transferred here this season. When Mourinho was coaching, Chelsea's 4-3-3 formation was known as the left winger Robben.
The "golden wings" Irish player Damien Anthony Duff is both offensive and defensive.
The only shortcoming is that the 31-year-old Duff has passed the peak of his career. Since his debut in the Blackburn youth team, Duff has spent 15 seasons in the Premier League, together with Robben, Terry and Lampard.
It was already 4 years ago that the "Blue Storm" blew up at Chelsea and won the Premier League championship again. Time is not forgiving.
Fulham's double midfielders are Simon Davis and Etuhu. Simon Davis is also a veteran of the Premier League. The former Everton No. 10 is also 31 years old. In addition to the defensive midfielder, he can also
Playing right midfielder and right winger, but now Hodgson is using the defensive experience of Simon Davis more, allowing the Wales international to partner with another Premier League veteran, the 20-year-old Nigerian international Etuhu, as a defensive midfielder.
Sitting in midfield.
Like Simon Davis, Etuhu is also a midfielder with both offense and defense. Among the four midfielders, Etuhu is the youngest (years old) and Daniel Murphy, the oldest, is 33 years old.
Seeing this midfielder, I looked back and thought about the midfielder of the Olympic team during Horton's coaching period. The starting four were mostly Zhao Junzhe, Li Tie, Sui Dongliang, and Huang Yong, and the three substitutes were Min Jin, Zhang Xiaorui, and Zhang Ran.
At that time, the biggest doubt that Chinese fans and media had about Holden was that he didn’t need to
Zhang Xiaorui's reason was that Zhang Xiaorui's weak defense was not suitable for the entire tactical system, which aroused more doubts. He believed that Horton should not formulate a tactical system first and then select players, but should formulate a tactical system based on the players. Wait, in short
What he said is clear and logical.
It's just that they ignored one thing. Zhang Xiaorui is obviously not the core player of this tactic. To formulate tactics according to the players, that means that the tactics must adapt to and best bring out the characteristics of the core players. Other players must fully exploit their strengths and avoid weaknesses according to the tactics. If the player's characteristics
If it conflicts with the tactical system, then you can only make a choice based on the tactical system.
Forget it, in the eyes of the media, they themselves are the core. They just curse and vent, but they are not responsible for formulating plans and executing them.

Finally, let’s talk about the two arrows of 4-4-2. Fulham’s two forwards, the 31-year-old Hungarian forward Zoltangla and the)-year-old English local striker Bobby Zamora, are both after Hodgson took over Fulham.
The recruits all had mediocre qualifications, and Hodgson relied more on their years of experience in the Premier League.
Hodgson's entire tactical system relies more on the whole. Among Fulham's 36 goals so far this season, Zamora, the team's top scorer, has only scored 6 goals, and Hungarian Guerra has only scored 4 goals.
He is tied with Murphy, who scored four penalty kicks, as the team's second-leading scorer. The other midfielders, defenders and substitutes have scored a total of 10 goals this season.
In other words, in the Fulham team, apart from Hodgson, no position is indispensable.
Fortunately for Horton, Hodgson's power in the Premier League is many times greater than that of Horton in China. What's more, in England, there are many times more media people who understand football than in China.
