The Ball at Your Feet

The media said these words outside because they saw Real Madrid's victory, which represents the overall situation of the league this season has been set, Barcelona has been unable to recover. However, in the Real Madrid club, Zhao Yaning was not satisfied with this game.

Although it is said that Real Madrid won this game, the way to win is to rely on the counterattack to score the goal. If you say from the battle situation, Real Madrid is not considered to have any advantage.

"But, so what? We won't be beautiful enough, but their tactics are not fair enough. Leaning on the backcourt consumes our physical strength, and then waits until we are tired, and then we attack with all our strength. It’s not so fair, right?"

Guti didn't care about this. For him, it is enough to win, and after winning, by the way, Barcelona has no hope for a season. He is also very excited, and he does not consider other things.

But Zhao Yaning always feels that Barcelona's style of playing is not without its merits. Although this method of kicking is not for attacking, but for reducing the opponent’s chances and consuming the opponent’s physical strength, it is not an offensive football method. However, for Barcelona’s technical excellence, it is For teams with insufficient defensive ability, it is also a good way to play.

In fact, after this game, Zhao Yaning had some ideas: The reason why Schuster insisted on accumulating strong attacks from players in the frontcourt is very likely to deal with Barcelona, ​​a team that does not need double midfielders to die. . Although he has always said in name that this is for playing a beautiful football, Zhao Yaning can see that he cares about the outcome and the results very much. His idea is not a beautiful football, but that if he wins Barcelona, ​​there will be no big problems in the championship. In Schuster’s idea, it is estimated that he wants to rely on the national derby to determine the league victory. Will adopt such a tactic, is basically aimed at the characteristics of Barcelona.

So, now Barcelona seems to have a new tactic, how come no one notices it? That's right, after all, after winning, these guys don't want so much after seeing the results.

When La Liga players mentioned passing, they would say a word, -taka-this word is used to describe extreme ball possession. But what is the purpose of extreme ball control? Is it for offense or defense, how to use extreme ball control to achieve victory? In fact, people don't think much about it. The Spaniards like to watch technical football, football with high ball possession is good, so they respect it, but they don't think much about how to combine high ball possession with victory organically. They are just thinking about the extreme, but what should they do after the extreme? They haven't thought about it too much.

Cruyff once said that the ball is under our feet and the opponent has no chance to attack: this is true, but it is also nonsense. 100% possession of the ball is theoretically impossible to achieve, not to mention, sometimes in football, an attack only requires three passes. It is very blind to regard ideal football as a goal. How to achieve a high ball possession rate In the achievable range, becoming a powerful tactic is the focus of discussion.

Generally speaking, if you can control the ball up to 60%, then even if the tactical details are not considered carefully, relying on the absolute superiority of the ball, you can still crush your opponent. However, the essence of -kata is to attack and infiltrate by passing the ball, but not all the time, this method is very easy to use. In fact, since the beginning of the new century, the popularity of muscular football and the great prevalence of double-back midfielder tactics have almost obliterated the possibility of pass penetration to open up the situation, playing football with high ball possession rate. It is a common problem that many Spanish football encounters. Spain met France in 2006, was oppressed by Vieira and Makelele, Barcelona met Liverpool, and was defeated by Alonso and Hisoso. Ko oppressed, met a good defensive team, coupled with a strict referee, the Spanish style of playing is all the result of this, being pressed in his own backcourt, kicking a mess, therefore, -taka this This kind of kicking is difficult to achieve when it is intercepted by a world-class double midfielder. This is the consensus of everyone. And since modern football has begun to become popular with double midfielders, why do you want to promote this concept of ball control?

However, Barcelona's style of play provides a new idea: what if passing is not for penetration, but purely for possession? They are not for offense, but for defense? For a long time, Spain has had a way of playing, called wiper football-like a car's wiper, passing the ball from side to side, not for offense, just to control the strong team, and strive for a point of relegation- -Although this kind of play has always been criticized, but because of the great disparity between the strengths and weaknesses of La Liga, it has always been seen.

Now, Barcelona has integrated the concept of -taka into wiper football, and obviously, it has achieved good results. Control the ball in the backcourt. If the opponent wants to get the ball, they have to rely on the frontcourt to counter-grab. But how many Geralds and Kuyts are there in the world? Zhao Yaning could curse fiercely in his heart. When he met Mascherano and Essien, their play was to kill him on the street, but where would the Royal Horse find an Essien? In fact, in this game, if it weren't for Barcelona himself being dazzled by Real Madrid's contraction, thinking that he could take the game down, and chose to attack at the Bernabeu, he would be piled up in the backcourt, and would not be involved. Go up, the game is at the end, it must end in a draw. In the end, Barcelona lost to the offensive cell in their own bones to win the tactics, but lost the game.

This kind of play is actually very good, especially the successful control of physical strength, allowing Barcelona to save a lot of physical strength. If you look at it in the long run, they will definitely save a lot of energy after playing like this for a season. In the long-distance league running, it is extremely occupied. Advantageous.

This new tactic is quite interesting, but they also have a problem to solve-on offense, the popularity of double midfielders has choked the vitality of penetration in the middle. Their playing style wants to succeed and win in the strong dialogue. It must be considered for offensive improvement. And this kind of football is destined to be a slow-paced football. In a slow-paced football, there cannot be too many opportunities. If there are not too many opportunities, then how to seize the opportunities? Success rate is also an important issue for them.

Moreover, it is not good to say, what if the opponent is also playing this set? Isn't that a disguised turtle tactic? Whoever gets the ball will not pass forward, just play his own in the backcourt desperately, passing the ball in a bells and whistles, but there are not many shots in a game. What's the point of a game like that?

This tactic seems to be a big problem.

But speaking of it, this is the first time they have played this way. Maybe, the tactic itself is not mature enough? Looking at their eagerness and lack of tactics at the end, it seems that this time, their playing style is not very mature. But after their tactics are fully mature, their strength should be improved by another level, right? Moreover, they still have Messi to use, and their strength can be improved. Although Zhao Yaning can't figure out how they will improve their strength, such an opponent is indeed worth looking forward to.

However, this also made Zhao Yaning a little excited: If the opponent's strength improves, it should be a lot more fun, right? Now this half-season ahead of second place by 11 points, completely stress-free competition, is really boring.

Moreover, he also has another idea: The Spaniards do this because their physical fitness is not good enough, so they need to rely on excellent technology to make up for their physical deficiencies. So, does this approach also apply to Asians? Zhao Yaning is still very concerned about the development of football in his country. If Barcelona can work out a football tactic suitable for Asian development, he is also very interested in seeing it.

"Don't always think about football, think about other things, do you have any idea where you want to go to play? The Premier League has no winter break, and you rarely have a winter break plan, right?" Seen in the locker room Thinking about Zhao Yaning, Guti asked, "Do you need me to arrange it for you?"

"I have played Ligue 1 before." Zhao Yaning agreed, "Ligue 1 has a winter break."

In the five major leagues, the Premier League does not have a winter break, La Liga has a two-week winter break, Serie A has a half-month east-west break, Ligue 1 has a three-week winter break, and the Bundesliga has a month-long winter break. Speaking of it, La Liga has the shortest winter break.

"Then you are going to talk about it, what are you going to do during this winter break? If you practice more, it will not be called a holiday arrangement."

"It's not an extra training, but during the winter break, you must do some exercise to accumulate energy and prepare for the second half of the season. When I was in the Premier League, I always complained that there was no winter break, and it was in the second half. It’s easy to lack stamina throughout the season. So, since La Liga has a winter break, it is natural to accumulate stamina."

"you're so boring."

Guti’s evaluation made Zhao Yaning a wry smile, “I saw the comic two days ago, and it was a comparison between you and Harvey. You must have seen it too. You dated different women year after year, and he was different from him. I’ve been practicing football for year after year, and in the end, you only have a bunch of kids, and he has a bunch of trophies — don’t you have any touches?”

"Yes, my life is much better than his."

Zhao Yaning is angry-this answer is really simple, and it really has his style.

"Okay, let me give you another example. Mr. Disdifano, now an official in the team...The ghost knows what he is responsible for. But what you can see is that he is sixty. Many years old, and a girlfriend in her twenties~www.ltnovel.com~ If you really want to be cool, practice for a while now, and it will definitely be cooler in the future."

"Maybe at that time, I want to settle down?"

Casillas smiled from the side, and he could hear Guti looking for fault on purpose.

"Look at Qi Zu, his son is now training in the team. If you want to settle down, you should think about it for your family?"

Guti laughed, "Well, I know, I will. Just kidding, don't want that expression. We are the winners, why are we so strict with ourselves?"

"If you don't work hard, the winner will lose quickly. I feel that this Barcelona change is aimed at me. They will definitely have back players. If you don't work hard, we won't be able to beat it. They are, that kind of day is not what I want."

"Rest assured, we will be the winner." Casillas also said.

With such a player, a player who is willing to pay for it, how can the team lose? This team will get better and better, everyone believes in this.
