It was Zhang Sheng who made the first move. As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength, but strike later will suffer disaster.
He moved back to midfield and changed the formation from 4-2-3-1 to a 4-6-o strikerless formation.
It should be said that this formation change was very timely. After more than 30 minutes of offense on the field, the players were at the end of their game. Especially Pato on the front line was often drowned among several tall defenders. This retreat allowed his space to change.
's bigger.
In the 36th minute of the first half, the Longteng team ushered in the best opportunity of this game. When Western Sydney's full-back Cole passed the ball to the center, Zhang Hao withstood Kuby's body and headed the ball to Kan.
Special, Kanter did not pass the ball directly this time, but suddenly passed Bridge.
Because Kanter has always been a passer in the past, and rarely breaks through with the ball after taking the ball, this gave the Western Sydney players the illusion that Kanter was not a player good at breakthroughs, so Kanter suddenly played extra
Western Sydney was caught off guard. Seeing Bridge being passed, La Rosa, who had been entangled with Pato in the midfield, quickly came over to defend Kante. This time Kante did not distribute the ball to the wing or hand it to Lin Feng like before.
Instead, he played very simply and directly. Before La Rosa could get close to him, he passed a pass to Pato. After Pato got the ball, he started dribbling the ball directly.
Facing Pato who started with the ball, Mullen, one of the opponent's central defenders, quickly came over. However, Pato, who was running at a high speed, cleverly handed the ball to Lin Feng who came from behind. Lin Feng was in the penalty area.
There was a non-stop pass from the front, and Pato also timely inserted into the penalty area.
Because Pato has enough space to add in the entire attack, Western Sydney's players can't keep up with Pato at all. When they want to turn around and chase Pato, they are tall and strong in frontal confrontation, but their weakness of slow turning is exposed.
They were very thorough, and Pato's high sprint made it impossible for them to keep up. Pato, who entered the penalty area, got the opportunity to face the goalkeeper alone and shoot.
Liu Jiayuan also shouted loudly: "Good opportunity, Lin Feng's second pass, Pato understood and intervened, Pato rushed into the penalty area, one-on-one. Shot, beautiful! The ball went in, Pato's goal!"
Beautiful coordination and beautiful goals, this is the strength of the Longteng team!"
Faced with this goal, all the fans in the stadium cheered loudly and the stadium turned into a red ocean of joy.
Zhang Sheng also excitedly waved his fist on the court, and the players on the bench also rushed out to greet Pato's celebration.
**Vicci was a little upset because as soon as he was about to make changes to his tactics, the opponent made changes in advance, leaving his players completely unprepared. This should be his responsibility for conceding the ball. He did not expect that his opponent would make any changes.
This move.
In fact, through observation, **Vicchi has confirmed that Kanter is the ball connection point between the Longteng team's back line and midfield. When he was about to make corresponding arrangements for this core joint point, the opponent used this point to give him
A heavy blow, but still a step too late.
Liu Jiayuan commented on this goal and said: "It seems that coach Zhang Sheng made some fine adjustments to the tactics on the field just now. Pato was withdrawn from the center position to the midfielder. Oh, this should be a forward-less formation.
There are very few domestic teams that use this tactic. It seems that except for coach Lippi of Guangzhou Evergrande, no other coaches have used it."
In fact, domestic fans often complain about the backward tactics of domestic clubs. There are considerable reasons why many mainstream tactics in Europe are rarely used in China.
Take the strikerless formation often used by Spain, Germany, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United and other national teams and clubs as an example. This is a very advanced tactic, but this tactic has very high requirements for the configuration of the players. For the strikerless formation
In the formation, a pseudo forward who is not a standard forward is usually required. The highest level is to pass the ball into the opponent's goal through the cooperation of multiple people. The frontcourt players must be able to control, lead, break, pass, and be players with four abilities
At least 4 people; in addition, it is required to have at least 2 players who can run, shoot, and have both abilities. The ability to run here refers to the awareness of movement. It is difficult for the national football team to arrange such a staffing. Teams in the world that use a forward-less formation are usually
A super-powerful team with technical prowess.
The key to a forwardless formation is firstly possession of the ball, and secondly coordination in passing and receiving. Unfortunately, it is difficult for domestic players to meet this requirement due to the selection of players in the football circle.
In the early days of Chinese football, there were many players from the Shanghai and Southern schools who could control the ball and pass the ball. However, due to physical reasons, they were often bullied by foreign teams during confrontations, which led to the selection of domestic players.
Overcorrection has occurred. The most extreme time was more than 20 years ago, that is, in the mid-1980s, when Chinese football was very close to the World Cup, but in the end it lost to the fierce New Zealand team. After that, the Football Association learned the hard way: Chinese football is just bad.
In terms of heading and body, the level of set pieces also needs to be improved, so add a rule in the league: in the league, a goal scored through a corner kick, a free kick, or a header will count as two goals.
After this rule came into being, the level of Chinese football has not improved, but the probability of scoring one goal and counting two goals has become more and more frequent, and the scores have become higher and higher. In many games, everyone has already scored the ball into the opponent's goal
At the door, you have to stop and use your head to push the ball into the goal. It is really an age-old anecdote in world football that makes people laugh.
In addition, the physical test stipulated by the football school later required players to participate in the league every year to pass the UU physical test. In this way, many tall, strong and brainless players became the mainstream of players, while the players' foot skills were completely ignored.
.
After years of wrong selection, there are fewer and fewer domestic players who can control the ball and complete high-level passes and receptions.
After vigorous development in the past few years, most of the players with strong footwork have been bought by Guangzhou Evergrande at a high price. This has resulted in the only player in the country who can play a no-forward tactics is Guangzhou Evergrande.
The Longteng team was formed entirely because of the welfare of Zhang Sheng, a reborn man with a golden finger. From the very beginning, Zhang Sheng valued players with good foot skills in terms of the tactical basis and selection of club players, even if there were some
Players have different characteristics, but Zhang Sheng still attaches great importance to training their foot skills in daily training. Li Yun is a fruitful result of Zhang Sheng's strengthening of foot training after calling.
Among the players on the court now, whether they are Pato, Mahrez, Ding Huaiyi or Lin Feng, their skills at their feet and their ability to pass and receive are all top-notch. Even Kante, a defensive midfielder, has come to the team.
Later, Zhang Sheng also practiced his skills with his feet very well, which is why he was able to pass the ball through.
As a former national football player, Xu Yang still has some knowledge in tactics. He said: "Hengda has concentrated a large number of national football players and has excellent foreign players in the team, so in terms of the players' abilities, it can only support
Playing without a striker. The reason for the Longteng team is because of the selection of their players. From the information I have learned, all the players of the Longteng team usually train mainly on foot skills and ground passing and receiving cooperation, so you can see that they stay in the team.
The players in the team and those who have transferred out are generally very popular because their players can hold the ball and pass the ball. As for their youth training, they are proud of their good foot skills, so they can
Playing without a forward is the result of constant training in the past few years. This goes back to the topic we talked about at the beginning of the game, that is, the club must stick to its own style. As long as the direction is right, it must be firm and unswerving.
Just move on."
In Xu Yang's commentary, the players of the Longteng team once again began to move patiently in the midfield, because a goal had given them the initiative and they could control the rhythm of the game through passing and receiving. Facing the Longteng team
With the midfielder's quick kick, Western Sydney's players obviously didn't have much to do.
At this time, **Vic also began to make tactical adjustments to the players on the field. First, Kuby, one of the two forwards, retreated to the midfield and began to harass Kanter. At the same time, Mullen, the shortest among the central defenders,
He also pushed out from the back line and began to closely mark Pato.
It's just that it's now the end of the first half, and everyone's running can't be as powerful as it was at the beginning. Western Sydney's current 4-5-1 formation is more defensive in the backcourt, which also makes the Longteng team temporarily
They were unable to find any more opportunities. After constant struggle in the midfield, the first half of the game was over.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng seemed very relaxed, because his tactics were basically reflected, and the opponent obviously didn't have much to do with his tactics. They could only rely on running on the court to fill positions.
To prevent the Longteng team from attacking, but with such a defensive method, the opponent will definitely have major physical problems in the second half of the second half. Even players with very good physical fitness like Australia will not be immune.
Zhang Sheng also made it clear to the players: "In the second half, we rely on maintaining the same style of play as in the first half. If the opponent's footwork is not good, there will definitely be problems later. Keep up the good work, everyone."
And **Vicci nervously made tactical arrangements in the locker room: "The opponent's offense has an important transition hub, and that is their midfielder Kante. As long as we restrict him, we can slow down their attack speed.
, and it can also give them a thorough blow at their joint part."
"Bridge, you and Trifilo flank Kanter back and forth. Once he gets the ball, your task is to prevent him from passing the ball out. If he wants to break through with the ball again, grab the ball from him as soon as possible.
Fight back." **Vicci arranged.
"Mullen, if you play from the central defender position and play as a defensive midfielder, you must keep an eye on their forward Pato, who is their only threatening figure in the forward line."
"Cuby, you have to take advantage of your speed. Their two central defenders are very good at heading the ball, but their turning speed may be a problem. You must hit them behind. After everyone gets the ball, try their best.
Find Kubi and let us defeat them." **Vicci said emotionally. (To be continued.)
