The Ball at Your Feet

"The game was played like this, in fact, you were finally impatient. If you didn't rush to attack and want to take all three points, this game shouldn't end this way." In Barcelona, ​​on the training ground, Guardiola handed over. After giving Harvey a ball, he also persuaded, "Since you have lost, let it pass. The winter break is here, no matter if you have a rest, there is no need to practice more. Sometimes, relax appropriately, yes. It's good for yourself."

"I am very unwilling. I think that our game is under control of the situation. The situation is under control. How can we lose?" Harvey sighed, "Of course, you don't need to mention Zhao Yaning's. Question. I know that it’s easy to control the situation, but it’s too difficult to control him. The existence of that person is indeed the cause of our failure, but I always feel that there is a problem with our tactics, and we can do better. And if we Really did it better, then, even if Zhao Yaning could go against the sky, we would still not lose."

"I admit this. I can see that you are learning my-taka style of play, but there are many deep-seated things that you haven't learned. You just looked at a fur and you want to fight against a strong team like Real Madrid. , Is unwise." Guardiola said, "This tactic, you can't imitate it well."

"Which aspect is not good at imitating?" Harvey asked rhetorically.

"First of all, on the attack, Henry and Iniesta are on the wing. At a glance, this is about to penetrate the middle. The method of penetration in the middle is not a very good routine in modern football. Most teams will choose a double midfielder and double midfielder to play, which is very restrained from penetration in the center. This is why, after Ronaldinho, pseudo-winger internal cutting has become crazy popular, because They meet the requirements of tactical development, and Zhao Yaning is now strong because he is playing the most advanced tactics. The approach of smart people is to conform to the times, and we will do what the times require, instead of fighting against the times, we have to play. Football out of the era. Considering the current situation, what we should consider is a surprise attack on the side, not a penetration in the middle."

Harvey nodded, saying nothing.

"Furthermore, what is the saved energy for? It is not for you to have the energy to train after the game. Instead of playing so hard now, it is better to work harder in the game. The physical strength is to let you have the energy to fight back on the court. Yes. The opponent's backcourt control is not as good as ours, why don't we make good use of it? They are unlikely to succeed in the backcourt. If we grab more fiercely, use the opponent's backcourt to control the ball. Isn't it great to steal and fight back on the spot?"

"Messi's body, if he keeps on flank breakthroughs and counter-grabbing, it will be easily exhausted." Harvey said his own problem, "I am afraid that there will be problems in doing so."

"This is a question of training methods. I have seen your training. After Tenkater left, you have a big training problem, not just training, but also a diet problem. If you have time, I suggest Messi eat more fish. It is good for resisting injuries." Guardiola is also a headache for Messi's injury. "His body is indeed a problem. In this regard, we have to find a way."

"The best way is to find a full-back with excellent offensive ability and implement a Sevilla-style kick. The full-back is deeply inserted, and at the moment of attack, a four-forward kick is formed. After opening the width, Our attack can be more fluid. Moreover, if the task of long-distance dribbling is separated from Messi’s task, then his pressure will be much less. If he is only responsible for the frontcourt breakthrough , Shooting, dividing the ball after a breakthrough, these simple things, no longer moving is just running long distances, giving the opponent the opportunity to invade him, his body will be much better." Guardiola said, "Moreover, when attacking, we sculpted It’s not detailed enough. Don’t go up and kick the ball as it is now. Give the football to the most sure shooter, who has the best shot, then all the shots will be his. Do this, It can improve efficiency very high."

"But, if you do that, one of the three forwards can shoot the best, and the other two, don't you mean that there is no chance at all?" Harvey was a little puzzled, "Will they be dissatisfied?"

"Strikes are diverse. Barcelona is not short of money. We should let the players adapt to the tactics instead of modifying our tactics for the players." Guardiola said, "If we find a striker like Kluivert, we You can organize the best way to play."

"He's hard to find." Harvey shook his head.

"Yeah, so, others have to sacrifice a little bit. However, for the championship, sacrifice is not a big deal, right." Guardiola laughed.

Harvey nodded and pondered for a long while before speaking, "But, if such a sacrifice is made, does Messi also need to sacrifice?"

"Of course, what he needs is breakthroughs, shots, and points. Other things, what are you going to do? Long shots are not our tactics. It would be nice to have you in the organization period. Iniesta should be used for headers. Teach him, even if you learn, what's the use? These things are not what he needs to do."

"But he wants to be Maradona. He won't organize, won't free kicks, won't support a series of teams, only breakthroughs, shots, assists are all from the goal..." Harvey hesitated.

"Have you forgotten the goal of La Masia? We are training players for Barcelona, ​​not for Europe. Whether Maradona has it is a problem that the Argentine Football Association should solve, not something we need to consider, why should we mention them? worry?"

"Just by doing this, isn't it impossible for Messi to develop in an all-round way."

"As long as he stays in Barcelona, ​​what if he is not fully developed? With you, you can supplement his shortcomings and shortcomings, so we are a whole."

"What about the national team?"

"It's not our turn to worry about the Argentine national team, right?"

Harvey said nothing. Guardiola's words do have some truth: Messi develops like this, and he is more inseparable from Barcelona. Seeing such a genius stay in the team instead of being sold like Ronaldo, Figo and Rivaldo. , Harvey is also sincerely happy.

As for the issue of Argentina, as Guardiola said: Why should the club be held responsible for the national team? Now the national team and G14 have just finished arguing over the issue of whether to pay compensation for the national team's injury. Harvey does not think that the club needs to consider for the national team.

And Messi’s own Maradona dream-reality and dream are always different. The dream of the most beautiful club he gave him is the national team or something, leaving some regrets, it may not be a sense of beauty.

After considering Messi's matter, Harvey returned his thoughts to Guardiola's thoughts again. He hadn't thought about Guardiola's tactics before, but now he thinks about it, the more he feels that this tactic is unique.

"However, if you can play like this, you can grab the frontcourt, reverse the backcourt, attack and pull the side, and leave the offense to one person-doing this is not offensive football at all, but rather conservative play."

Harvey still has doubts: the beauty of football comes from unknowability. If every attack is to drive the opponent crazy, and then the midfielder goes straight to the two wings of the penalty zone, the wing is opened, and the best player is inserted-the efficiency is of course. It's high, but this doesn't seem to match the concept of offensive football.

"You're wrong again." Guardiola laughed, "Who are we? We are Barcelona! We are the hall of artistic football! We have enjoyed this name for 20 years, but we have never relied on him to create any trend! With a gap of 8 points, Real Madrid can build momentum and make you all scared, and our twenty years of building momentum is enough to do one thing: what art football is, we have the final say, we define it. We say we can play. It’s art football, who would say no? We say that the opponent is against football, and the opponent is against football! Football is a game and a battlefield. If you don’t know how to take advantage of the situation to suppress others, it’s no good.”

Art football is defined by us-this sentence made Harvey suddenly startled.

What is artistic football? Isn’t it recognized by everyone as the most admirable football? What kind of football is considered art football? It is difficult to say clearly about the value of viewing, but there is one recognized pinnacle of the so-called artistic football: Ronaldinho's football is a football that everyone loves. Relying on Cruyff's offensive heart and Ronaldinho's gorgeous performance, Barcelona is recognized as a palace of art. They play football is an art. This has deeply affected the views of the football media across Europe. Every time the Golden Globe Awards are selected, they can get a lot of advantages for this. Then, why can't you let such benefits? , Used in the game?

Guardiola's words set a new path for Harvey. The tactics of football, combined with the needs of strategy, can make people realize its terrible. The momentum of the media, the gap in points, the tradition of the team, these things are meaningful, all of these things can be used to make the team play the most effective. Even for someone like Ronaldinho who has not played a ball, his reputation can still bring benefits to the team. Harvey has not thought about these things. But if you can think of it, such an approach is no longer like a simple youth coach.

Taking all variable factors into account in the outcome of the game, this is what a master coach should have.

"Pep, have you considered whether to coach in the first team." Harvey hesitated for a moment, and he said, "When Mr. Rijkaard is coaching, he also needs someone who can help us train and set up tactics. You Come and help him."

After Tencart left, Barcelona's training and locker room was a mess. Although there are many youth trainings, they still maintain unity, but even so, they no longer have the vitality they once were. This is something that has been deeply troubled by Harvey.

"I'm not interested in giving hands to others." Guardiola laughed. "Some of them say this is an artist's paranoia-I prefer to decide everything by myself, rather than listening to others' dictates."

"It's not impossible that you want to be a coach~www.ltnovel.com~."

Guardiola didn't say a word, so Harvey suddenly understood something.

He said that Barcelona needs to build momentum, so why not build momentum himself? Rijkaard has fallen behind so much this season and his results are no longer guaranteed. So, who will be the coach next season? He said that what he wants is complete power. So, where does his complete power work?

Can't believe that his idol has such a side, Harvey looks at Guardiola, and there are some things that can't be said. On the one hand, he hopes that his idol is a great person. Only by thinking carefully, doing things carefully and step by step, can he be like a person doing great things. But on the other hand, in his heart, he felt that he was against Barcelona, ​​his team. There are so many thoughts like this, and some should not be. Shouldn't it be hard work for your team? Could it be that after being betrayed by the team once, did the Kings become alienated from the team?

"I know that you are a little uncomfortable with me, but it's not a big deal. I can be a coach by my talent, my mind, not my character. Do you think my talent and Knowledge is enough to be a coach, and that is enough. So tell me, Harvey, do you think I am worthy to be the King of the Nou Camp again?"
