Chapter 170： Subversion starts with the rules

Popular recommendation:

Coaching for a full season is a completely different concept than putting out a fire in the middle.

Although it is necessary to analyze the specific situation, in general, it is indeed easier to put out a fire midway.

Because it has a clear concept, it knows where the problem is, as long as the problem is solved, the pressure of grades is also small.

But the full season is different.

The moment you get the schedule, you must start to formulate a detailed season strategy.

After Gao Shen came back from South America, he locked himself in a house in the Bay Area of ​​Naples. Every day he watched videos with the coaching staff, studied the schedule, made plans, and designed training programs.

In the evenings he will read in the tactical library, he has now finished reading Benitez and is studying Van Gaal.

This is also a manager worth studying. He has even profoundly influenced countless managers, including famous coaches such as Bielsa and Guardiola.

The Ajax team coached by Van Gaal is also the goal that Gao Shen is trying to learn.

Gao Shen heard many voices outside, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, and even let Carlo not have to come forward to clarify, there is no need. If you have time like this, you might as well watch a few more videos and study more about opponents.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out to find out after all.

Whether you have real materials or not depends not on your words, but on your grades.

…

There is a very important point in the season strategy, which is the schedule.

In the past two years, the Coppa Italia has frequently changed the competition system. Now it is a team in the middle and lower Serie A, Serie B, C1 and C2 leagues, forming 64 teams, which directly play a single knockout match from the first round. Until the quarterfinals are decided.

From the fourth round, that is, the round of 16, they officially joined the top eight teams in last season's Serie A, and the competition system has also become a two-round home and away match.

In terms of time, the first three rounds all started in late August, and three games were played in one week.

This is fatal.

A single knockout match is very contingent. For a newly formed team like Naples, the fault tolerance rate is extremely low. This requires the team to do very detailed preparations for the season. Status adjusted.

After the first three rounds of the Coppa Italia, the first round of the Serie B was only ushered in in September, and Naples were at home against Treviso, who had just been relegated from Serie A.

The newly promoted horse meets the relegated team, although it is the home court, but the challenge is how big it is, needless to say.

Not to mention, in the previous three rounds of the cup, it is entirely possible for Napoli to encounter a strong Serie A team.

Judging from the league schedule, Juventus, the number one opponent in Gao Shen's eyes, was scheduled to play at home in November.

Relatively speaking, for this match with Juventus, the preparation time is still ample.

In addition, Serie B has a winter break of more than 20 days from late December to mid-January, which is also a very important adjustment.

But if the cup can reach the quarterfinals, the winter break will be three or four days less than other teams.

However, this is not worth considering for now.

…

From the technical and tactical point of view, Gao Shen's requirements are very clear: high-position pressing and pressing, fast-paced offense and defense transition.

These requirements for players' physical fitness and collaborative combat capabilities are very high.

But Gao Shen also put forward higher requirements.

He wants every player to run an average of no less than 10,000 meters in the new season.

This number is really staggering.

Not only Buenaventura is under pressure, but Carlo and Borrell are also under pressure.

The current mainstream running is not so outrageous. If you can run 10 kilometers, you are either a midfield defender or a full-back. Who can be like Gao Shen, who requires the entire team, except the goalkeeper, to run an average of 10 kilometers?

For this number, Gao Shen is not aimless.

"Zidane told me that as early as 1998, during the World Cup in France, including France, players from many teams ran 9 to 14 kilometers, with an average of about 10.5 kilometers. ."

"Of course, we can't use the data of the World Cup to request the league, but I think it is a worthy reference. I can even predict that in the next four years, the running data of the entire European football will be greatly improved, and ten kilometers will not be longer than ten kilometers. would be rare."

Even Barcelona, ​​who can run the most now, can actually run less than 10 kilometers on the field except the goalkeeper. The reason is that they run as a whole. They seem to run a lot, but the actual running distance is not large.

But under Pep Guardiola, there was more of that overall movement and longer distances, and the result was more and more passes.

Pass the ball, all run out!

This is a basic one.

Therefore, in the next few years, the team's passing lines will be dense, while the current team's passing lines are sparse.

To put it bluntly, it is caused by the running distance.

Why does Gao Shen dare to make such an assertion?

Because the defense is getting more and more careful.

Football techniques and tactics are all spiraling upwards. When your defense is meticulous to a certain extent, you must find a way to restrain yourself.

How to do?

You make your defense an impregnable wall, and I move as much as I can, with more running, more pulling, to create cracks in your impregnable wall.

More importantly, my movement can also effectively seize the favorable space, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is beneficial.

Cruyff once said: facing offense on a two-way ten-lane road is a failure of defense, facing offense in a narrow alley that only allows one person to pass, that is excellent defense.

Saki once said something similar.

They are all expounding the most fundamental truth, that pressing is one of the most basic rules of football, compressing the space on the court is the key to winning, and compressing the space requires running.

Gao Shen is now conveying this concept to the coaching staff, and he will convey it to the players next.

After losing the ball, try to counterattack on the spot, and at the same time, try to compress the opponent's attack into a narrow alley that can only be passed by one person.

Running is the foundation of everything.

"This is a big trend. Only by adapting and doing our best to improve ourselves, improve the team, improve the level and quality of our training, we can ensure that the team plays the highest level of games on the pitch!"

…

As a fan, Gao Shen did not understand the so-called rules thoroughly.

But after becoming a head coach, especially after reading the books of the coaches in the tactics library, he found that the rules are actually very important. Even a very inconspicuous rule change may subvert the existing tactics.

For example, in 2005, FIFA made changes to the offside rule.

Fans who are familiar with the 2005 World Youth Championship must remember that the second goal scored by China against Germany and the German team was obviously a German offensive player who was in an offside position, but because he did not directly participate in the attack, instead It was the player who came in behind to form a one-handed goal, so this time it was a successful anti-offside.

If it was before the rule change in 2005, it was an offensive offside.

There is no doubt that this offside rule was made to encourage attacking, but it is a disadvantage for the defending side, especially for all teams that use high pressing pressure, it is simply subversive.

According to the original offside rule, the team must be able to effectively control the area of ​​about 40 meters in the stadium, but with the implementation of the new offside rule, this data will be expanded to 60 meters.

That is to say, a team that adopts a high position to press and oppress has an effective control area of ​​20 meters more than the original.

So, how big is this area? How much more distance does this require the player to run?

Why does Guardiola's Barcelona run so much?

In addition to the need for passing and pulling, the more important thing is to effectively control the 60-meter area, so that the opponent cannot launch counterattacks and attacks smoothly.

And this will also have another effect, that is, there is more space in the midfield.

After there is more space, the physical contact of the players is reduced, and the technical midfielder can gain more advantages. Therefore, a midfield configuration similar to Barcelona's Habaibu has more activity areas.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

At the same time, after there is more space, the tactic of lining up the midfield like 442 in the past will not work, because there is space in front of and behind, which is unreasonable, so it is replaced by 4231 , 4321, 433 and other multi-line formations are born, they will further subdivide the midfield.

All of this is based on the effective control of the 60-meter area, which requires more running.

…

Gao Shen explained his ideas to the core coaching team very clearly, UU reading www.uukanshu. com because then they need to implement these into training and instill it in the players through training.

A new era in European football has begun.

A very important reason why Gao Shen does not use high-position defense in Real Madrid is the lack of running ability of Real Madrid players.

All teams with insufficient running ability blindly adopt high-level defense, and the final result is that the back line is beaten into a sieve.

Therefore, if Naples wants to adopt a high-level defense, it must be able to do it. The running distance of the players can effectively control the 60-meter area, which is the basis for the team's effective defense.

Otherwise, Gao Shen will not consider taking a high-post defense, and everything will be knocked down and rebuilt.

"Lorenzo, I believe that you can do it, and our players can meet your requirements. Of course, this requires our support in terms of training level, hardware facilities, eating habits, etc." Gao Shen confidently encouraged.

Everyone immediately looked at Buenaventura with sympathy in their eyes.

how to say?

The high-level requirements are indeed too high.

Among the six people at the scene, I am afraid that only Gao Shen is convinced that Buenaventura can do it.

Because, before he crossed, Buenaventura did, and did it very well.

"You bring me a new challenge every time, and the difficulty is more and more difficult." Buenaventura smiled bitterly.

Everyone also laughed.

Who said it wasn't?

When he was coaching Real Madrid, he was asked to adjust the team's physical fitness in half a month. Now, the request is even more outrageous.

With such a boss on the stall, there is no way.

But it's also a challenge to improve yourself.
