Chapter 760

Since Gao Han's debut in Atletico Madrid, in just nine years, the pass and control game has been popular from Spain to European football. It has been in the limelight, especially for the teams he has coached.

From the technical officials of FIFA and UEFA to the most ordinary fans, everyone knows that the trend of pass and control play driven by the high cold is the most advanced and future development trend in the world football, but why are there so few teams that can adhere to such a play?

Not to mention the passing and controlling method of play, even the four three three method of play, which is famous in alpine area, is not used by many teams?

The reason is very simple, not every formation, every play, can be promoted.

The four three three formation attaches great importance to the personal ability of players. For many middle and lower reaches teams, it is difficult for them to have an advantage in their personal ability when facing the upper reaches teams. Therefore, for them, the four three formation is not only ineffective, but more like self killing.

The same is true of pass and control play.

If you want to play by passing and controlling, you must first have an excellent midfield organizer. As everyone knows, this type of player is the most scarce type in current European football, and every midfield organizer is almost the treasure of their own team.

But only one organizer is not enough. We need to gather a group of players with excellent technical skills.

Why didn't Veron play in Manchester United at that time, but he was brilliant in the high cold coaching team of Chelsea. After the high cold left Chelsea, Veron soon fell into the doldrums and didn't return to the peak until he returned to Inter Milan?

The reason is very simple. It depends on whether there is a group of technical players around him who can be at the same frequency as him.

With all kinds of restrictions, it is difficult to popularize the pass and control playing method in European leagues. Even in the four leagues, it may not be applicable. On the one hand, the traditional playing methods of each team are different. On the other hand, there is no such talent allocation.

Gao Han arrived at Manchester City this season. If he didn't bring in a whole group of players, he didn't dare to promote his passing and controlling style. With the team background of Manchester City last season, he could only continue to take defensive counterattack.

If it's hard to find a player who can pass and control the ball, and it's hard to find a midfield organizer, then it's also very difficult to find a player who can hold the ball in the front of the restricted area.

To be able to hold the ball, to connect the middle and front court, and to forward attack into the restricted area, that is almost possible but not desirable.

So, after Kaka's injury, alpine tried Elano and Stephen Ireland.

The former is a Brazilian player with a fine foot and a free kick, but he is too thin to hold the ball in the front of the big restricted area with dense defense.

Steven Ireland was the best player of Manchester City last season. He was chosen as the best player of the season by Manchester City fans. He has good technique and excellent passing ability. He is a bit like Scholes, but the problem is that he is not stable and a bit nervous.

Gao Han also tried to use Sturridge to play this position, but the effect was not satisfactory. Later, he played two games with Sanchez, one good and the other bad, which was not satisfactory on the whole.

It is precisely because of the problem in this position that once Manchester City's ball path is pushed to the 30 meter area, once it is pressed by the other side's tight pressure, the success rate of passing is greatly reduced, and the players lose patience, so it is difficult to organize an effective attack.

In a few warm-up games, alpine even used skill cards, the effect is relatively general.

After all, the effect of skill cards depends on the overall performance of the team and the individual ability of the players.

Now it's very obvious that Kaka can't return in a short time. There are only two options for the cold weather, or the recruitment.

But for a while and a half, it's not easy to contact a replacement, and after Kaka returns, he will definitely play the main force.

Then the remaining choice is to change.

…………

"Transformation?"

People are surprised to hear Gao's decision. Even Brian Kidd, who has been advocating the change of formation, is surprised because Gao Ming still said that the team's problems have nothing to do with the formation.

"Don't get me wrong, guys, we still have to play three defenders, but we have to adjust in midfield."

Brian Kidd frowned, pondering the meaning of cold.

"We play with double backs and let Mascherano and Xabi Alonso form a barrier in the midfield. David Silva and Modric are more forward and give them more freedom to control the ball from the 30 meter area to the front of the penalty area, patiently look for opportunities, pass assists and even push forward to enter the penalty area."

When people heard Gao Han's saying this, they all felt that it was feasible.

David Silva and Modric are both excellent players who live very well at their feet and can move forward with the ball by their own ability under the defensive situation of the other side. It is really a way to solve this problem.

The actual effect is not clear, but at least it is feasible in theory.

As for midfield defense and interception, Javier Alonso and Javier Mascherano can do it.

It's very easy for the media and fans to know a player. The first thing they do is to label the player. The reason is very simple. It's more convenient to recognize the player after labeling.

Therefore, when it comes to a certain player, especially the rookie, the media and fans often like to say who his playing style is like, who he is, or what his advantages and disadvantages are, and it is easy to exaggerate or ignore.

Just like Kaka, high-speed breakthrough with the ball, which is Kaka's must kill skill, but it is precisely because this characteristic of him is so eye-catching that many media and fans forget that Kaka has a very thin foot, and he can also play like some other Brazilian players and pass the ball well.

Even, Gao can say that Kaka's passing skills are excellent, but in AC Milan's tactical environment, he does not have many opportunities to show it.

And then there's Mascherano, and everyone's first impression of him is defense.

Even he is known as the world's top defensive back, one of the most important reasons is that he can get the ball and pass it to his teammates, but few people pay attention to it. Mascherano's overall view and organizational ability are not weak at all.

It's just that his defense is too dazzling, and in Liverpool, he doesn't need to worry about this aspect, so that everyone ignores his strength in this aspect.

Therefore, Gao Leng believes that the double back composed of Mascherano and Xabi Alonso is absolutely trustworthy and can protect the team's back line steadily.

As long as the two backs are stable, David Silva and Modric will be able to pass patiently in the 30 meter area, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez will be able to pull out the gap in the front court and catch the opportunity to kill.

In this way, the team's attack is alive.

Of course, up to now, all of these are only cold thoughts, which need to be practiced in training and tested in actual combat. However, he believes that this idea may not be impossible to try.

"Is there any recent movement next door?"

Also in Carrington, next to Manchester City's training base, in the United manager's office, Ferguson jokingly asked his assistant, Mike pelan.

No need for Ferguson to make it clear that Michael Perrin knows that Manchester City is next door.

In the past, Manchester City's training base was not attractive at all. I'm afraid many foreign fans didn't even know the training base next to Manchester United. When it comes to Carrington, they only think of Manchester United.

But now, with the arrival of the cold, everyone knows that Carrington has two training bases, and Manchester is both here. In the hearts of many fans and tourists, Manchester City's training base is even more favored than Manchester United.

In the past, Ferguson didn't care about the situation on the other side at all, but now he asked every two or three days, so that Mike Perrin almost decided to arrange a special person to stare at the next door 24 hours a day.

"Nothing happened. After the last warm-up match, Gao Han ordered a closed training camp to prepare for the new season."

Ferguson, well, nodded, "is the media still hyping about Manchester City's warm-up?"

When it comes to this, Mike Perrin wants to laugh.

"Who said no? The speculation is still very fierce. You know the urination of those media reporters. They are counting on the hype to promote sales. What's more, Manchester City has invested more than 400 million euros this summer, not to mention the whole Premier League, but the whole Europe. I don't know how many people are waiting for a joke

Ferguson nodded.

European football in the final analysis is also very traditional, like Manchester city such upstarts, are often mixed.

As for those media reporters, for the sake of sales, how can they have integrity?

"It's hard to be in the cold weather. Kaka's injury has completely disrupted his plan. Manchester City have the ball control rate in the air, but the attack is very disordered. If they can't find a solution in the past few days, they will suffer a big loss in the new season."

"Well." Michael pelan also agreed, "Allardyce has made a tough speech. In the first game of the new season, he will give Alpine a gift at Ewood Park."

"Oh?" Ferguson laughed after listening, as if he could not wait to see Gao Han return from a disastrous defeat at Ewood Park Stadium. "Allardyce, the old fox, can really choose the right time. Now it's time to take advantage of Manchester City's chaos to win a victory and make a good start, and Blackburn's morale is not bursting in the new season?"

"But the cold is not so easy to deal with." Mike Perrin laughs, too.

"That's nature." Ferguson certainly won't find it easy to deal with the cold, otherwise, wouldn't he have lost the Champions League final last season even more humiliating?

"But Allardyce is also not simple. He suffered a setback at Newcastle two years ago. It was just a small fall. Whether at Bolton or at Blackburn today, he is one of the most difficult managers in the Premier League. Taking over in the middle of last season and leading Blackburn to a successful relegation is the best example."

Michael Perrin knows that in the Premier League, in addition to such famous managers as Ferguson, Benitez, Gao Han and Arsene Wenger, the strength of local managers such as Allardyce and Redknapp is also good.

They seem to be not well-known, but they are all ruthless characters who will make the rich families turn over every minute.

"Alpine always attaches great importance to data analysis. Coincidentally, Allardyce is also a head coach who attaches great importance to data analysis, and I heard that he has been arranging people to follow Manchester City's warm-up match. I'm afraid that now Alpine's seven inch has been stuck in his hands."

Ferguson said, it is a burst of light smile, he is very happy to see the cold with Allardyce, he is sitting in the profit.

It should be said that Kaka's long-term absence, for the cold, the blow is very painful.

This undoubtedly gives the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

Of course, in the past few years, I don't know how many teams and famous coaches want to kill the cold weather. What can be done is still unknown.

Who has a chance to be the lucky one?

Allardyce?
