Super Coach

If someone says that Bosque ’s Spain has not made any progress for so many years, Yang Cheng will sneer at these words, because no one in the world can understand this Spanish better than Yang Cheng.

At least, most of the international players in this team were cultivated by him, and some of them are his rivals.

There is a saying that is correct, no one knows the enemy better than the enemy!

When I first saw this list of Bosque, maybe many people would think that this was an unexpected choice for everyone, but in Yang Cheng’s opinion, there was a certain accident, but what reminded him more is that, Bosque finally pieced together Spain’s strongest lineup.

The 4231 formation has always lacked strategic breadth. This can be seen by looking at the German team. Yang Cheng ’s two most reliant wingers, Thomas Mueller and Royce, or Podolski, belong to that side. For Lunett players, their more responsibility is to cooperate more incisively once the ball enters the half.

Therefore, Yang Cheng would say that Captain Ram ’s tactical significance in the current German team is very important, because he can provide the tactical breadth that the German team lacks. Once the stalemate cannot be broken in front, Ram immediately hit the width and knocked the opponent The line of defense was opened, and as soon as the line of defense was opened, the loopholes came out.

Spain ’s formation also lacks tactical breadth. Iniesta and David Silva, the favorite of Bosque before, are not the kind of players who are used to playing on the sidelines. Most of them are still on the sidelines. Cut the route, so this Spanish left back Alba will be so important. Because he can provide Spain with a role and effect similar to that provided by Ram to the German team.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the German team and Spain are really very similar, there is a similar taste.

In the final analysis, both teams have imprints under the brand name Yang Cheng!

But one thing is different, the German team’s off-ball running is outstanding whether it is vertical or horizontal. After the ball-free running system established by Yang Cheng many years ago, coupled with the continuous maturity and improvement over the years, the German team won the championship in ball-free running. Even from a reasonable point of view, even Real Madrid’s ballless running system is a bit worse.

After all, this aspect requires years of accumulation and precipitation!

Is like Thomas Muller, Klose, Ozil, Podolski, Royce, Schweinsteiger … the direction and area of ​​movement of these players. If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that their horizontal and vertical movements are very much, and the combination is very reasonable.

The horizontal direction is to pull the defense line to expose the other party’s flaws, while the vertical direction is to attack and use the flaws!

But a big problem in Spain is that Bosque combines some of Real Madrid ’s and Barcelona ’s strengths, and the Barcelona players have made them always have excellent lateral movement, but they have some vertical movement. Lacking.

That’s why Bosque’s team needs Navas. The latter can not only play the tactical width, but also provide vertical advancement, which is very lacking in the Spanish team, but Navas’s shortcomings are also very obvious, which makes Bosque never dare to have high hopes for this player.

under these circumstances. Bosque is always adjusting the team’s offense, and Pedro has become a weapon in his hands.

Although the Barcelona wing is not very eye-catching in terms of ball skills, it is not outstanding. Compared with the gorgeous and skillful players in the frontcourt of Spain, he can even be included in the ranks of rough brothers, but he The ability to cut into the goal. As well as his outstanding vertical running consciousness, these have made him a very important element of Bosque.

Similar to the Spanish team that always likes to control the ball under their feet, they very much need a player with vertical ability to be at the forefront. Since there is no Villa, then they have to find another one.

“Jerome!” Yang Cheng in the locker room before the game, after seeing Spain’s big list, he pointed to Boateng, “Pedro this player should be careful, he moves horizontally and vertically You are excellent, you should pay attention to keeping a good distance from Zhongwei and Sven? Bend, strangle him, you can not let him find a gap! “

Since there is such a player, you must be careful not to blindly carelessly, otherwise, you will definitely lose yourself in the end, so Yang Cheng attaches great importance to Jerome Boateng’s defense of Pedro, and features Road.

Jerome? Boateng nodded, “I understand, boss!”

“Mata and David Silva, if I am not wrong, they are still the same, the key is to lock Pedro and nail their midfielder, and this time Bosque let Iniesta come In the midfield, his position will not be too backward, he is not Xavi, nor Xavi Alonso, so … “

“Sven, you have to protect the leading edge and ribs of the defense line closely, pay close attention to Iniesta’s movement and vertical pass, and Pedro’s sudden vertical insertion after the lateral transfer, this must be careful!”

Comparing your heart, if Yang Cheng wants Iniesta to hit the middle, he will find ways to get him close to the penalty area, and then let him pass the ball, and he will be close to the left to play Pedro’s vertical cut, even if he can’t make a threat. At least it can also disrupt the defense of the German team, giving Mata and David Silva a chance to create a back-end.

“Podolsky looks at Alba, Schweinsteiger, you are responsible for taking care of Della Red, our midfield must be more brave, our defense should pay attention to maintaining the distance from the midfield, it is necessary It ’s overwhelming, and I ca n’t give David Silva, Mata and Iniesta a chance to catch the gap! “

“Once Della Red and Iniesta take the ball, we will do everything we can to force them to transfer as soon as possible, Gomez, you suppress Ramos and Pique, both players are Busquets. Helper, you have to watch it closely, don’t let them intervene in the midfield! “

Gomez nodded, “I know how to do it, boss!”

All the players in the German dressing room heard Yang Cheng say this, in fact they all knew how he played the team’s tactics after adjustment.

As early as the tactical meeting. Yang Cheng proposed to suppress the Spanish midfielder, especially against Della Red, Xavi Alonso and Xavi, as much as possible to force Spain to hand the ball to Busquets, in order to To pinch Spain’s most threatening goal, the second is to let Busquets take the ball.

The position of the latter is a bit similar to Harvey Alonso, and even Busquets is the type that can get the ball smoothly and hesitate to keep the same with the two central defenders. So once the ball is forced to Busquets, it is equivalent to let Spain’s ball control area leave its own 32 meters area, which undoubtedly greatly weakened Spain’s threat of ball control.

The opposite of. Ozil’s mission is to harass Busquets. Once a mistake is made on Busquets, the counterattack after getting the ball will be very fatal. This is also the most fundamental strategy of Yang Cheng in this game.

“Guys!” After finishing the tactical adjustment and arrangement, Yang Cheng swept all the players in the locker room, “This game is related to who can enter the final, and we have worked hard for so many years, we fight It’s so hard, isn’t it just to get to the final of the Hercules Cup in order to reach the final? “

“The trophy is not far away from us. Now we need each of you to do your best to complete this game and defeat Spain. As long as you reach the final, I believe the trophy will belong to us!”

“Go, kill Spain !!”

“Understand, boss!” The players shouted in unison … The German team launched a round of attack and Ram stepped forward. Get the ball, quickly advance along the left, and hand it to Thomas Mueller! “

“Thomas? Mueller left Aveloa, off the bottom line, Ramos came out, Thomas? Mueller passed to the middle!”

“Casillas attack!”

“Pretty! Casillas steadily removed the ball from midair. Spain resolved another attack by the German team!”

With the commentary from the on-site commentator, a cheer of San Cassie sounded throughout the Milano Stadium. The captain of the Spanish national team performed very well in this World Cup, but many people also I feel that his performance is still not as good as Neuer of the German national team.

The latter seems to have little outstanding performance in this World Cup, but he has been invisible behind the scenes, commanding the defense line to fill the loopholes. He played a pivotal role in the German team’s defensive tactics, plus the German team’s defense No team has been defeated so far, so many people feel that the best goalkeeper of the World Cup is Neuer.

“After the opening, Spain played with patience, but the German team took the initiative to attack. This is indeed a bit surprising, because in the past few contests, the German team obviously took a relatively weak posture. In the face of Spain, this time Yang Cheng was actively attacking, and indeed he was bold. “

“Spain looked a bit passive in the game and was also anxious because the German team deployed heavy soldiers in the midfield and even Podolski frequently appeared in the midfield to participate in the defense. As soon as the ball came to the midfield, it was immediately received. The strong oppression of the German team, especially at the foot of Iniesta and Della Red, the German team’s pressing is very fierce. This fierce press forces the Spanish midfielder to pass the ball as soon as possible, which makes Spain ‘S midfielder is not used! “

It ’s important to know that Spain ’s Iniesta, Della Red, and even David Silva and Mata, who are arranged in the midfield this time, are all players with outstanding technical skills and strong personal abilities, but They are still uncomfortable with the German team’s pressing, and one can imagine how strong the German team is in the midfield.

“He is forcing us to put the ball to Busquets’ feet?” Bosque was not surprised to analyze the situation.

There is no doubt that Busquets is an excellent ball player, but ball control does not mean controlling the game!

This player is smart, he would rather retreat to the back line, and never let himself be exposed to the opponent’s encirclement and suppression. The purpose of this is to ensure that the ball can be found steadily at the foot of the ball at any time. Steady ball.

Whether in Barcelona or in the Spanish national team, Busquets exists to control the ball!

Because of this, Busquets’s goal is always very stable, very reassuring, and his reading ability is absolutely top. However, as a midfielder, his coverage and presence rate on defense cannot be guaranteed. It is precisely because of this, so Bosken would rather sacrifice a little offensively, and also arrange for Della Red to protect him.

But the problem is that once Busquets moves away from the opponent’s 32m area, even if he can get the ball. What effect does that have?

“It seems that we are improving and he is not idle. At least the tactics we have studied in the World Cup qualifiers, he is also looking for ways to crack our tactics. It is really a difficult opponent!” Tony? Grande shook his head without a bitter smile.

Yang Cheng’s understanding and familiarity with Spain. In addition, in the past few years, he has regarded Spain as his number one opponent from beginning to end, so he can say that he knows Spain better than anyone. This understanding even to some extent, To surpass Spain coach Bosque.

In this regard, Bosque and Tony Grande have no way, because most of the players in this group are from Yang Cheng, and Bosque ’s time with them, together, is not as good as Yang Cheng for more than a year. . Who knows better?

“Pedro was also strangled, Iniesta was also entangled with Sven? Bender, this kid played targeted tactics, really unparalleled!” Bosque also had to sigh.

Yang Cheng is a master of tactics, plus a Benitez. The two joined together to discuss targeted tactics. Few people in football today can compare with them, even Bosque and Tony Grande have to admit this.

“Our three lines must be kept close, even if we can not promote penetration, we can not create a threat to the German team!” Boss thought. Adjustments were made … Bosque’s adjustments were reflected on the football field, immediately turning this much-anticipated game into a complete mess.

When the positions of Iniesta and David Silva began to retreat, Spain’s formation looked more like 4411 tactics, of which Pedro’s position was relatively left, but it was between the left-winger and The position between the front waist seems to be playing the ribs of the German team anytime, anywhere.

Jerome Boateng also adjusted his position accordingly. When the German team stabilized the defense, the offensive investment was not small, but it has never been able to get a good opportunity.

The ball is given more to Busquets ’feet, but Spain ’s ball-handling technique is not a joke, when Ramos and Pike take turns to respond to Busquets, or Busquets takes the initiative to retreat to control the ball At that time, it was difficult for the German team to limit Spain’s possession.

In the end, Gomez didn’t give enough pressure to Pique and Ramos, and his defensive ability was really not good. The German team found Gomez several times to create opportunities. Ramos and Pique They always entangle the German striker directly, so that the German team’s several offenses have died, and they have failed to return.

Once Gomez’s point was restricted, Thomas Muller was also closely watched by Aveloya on the left. Although Ozil moved aggressively, he did not get many opportunities. The offense seems to be in trouble and trouble.

“It seems that both sides of this game are more based on the consideration of stability. No one is willing to take risks easily. After all, this is the World Cup semi-final. Whoever takes risks will be eliminated, and then eliminated by the other side. Whether it ’s Yang Cheng or Bosque, he certainly does n’t want to see this happen. ”

In this situation, it is almost impossible to want both sides to play proactively and want both sides to play offensive football!

With the whistle of the head referee, the first half of the game between the two sides ended in this depressed atmosphere!

“The first half of the game is over, and this game is also not exciting. Both sides have launched very targeted tactics, all of which are based on the fight for power in the midfield to create articles, whether it is Germany or Spain, it is obvious It is to use this to attack opponents, especially the German team, and actively choose to attack in the game. “

“From the scene of the first half, this is a tug-of-war. No one has an absolute advantage, but the German team has more initiative and has created 4 shots. Compared with 2 times in Spain, Germany The team ’s desire to attack is stronger, but it does n’t seem to be too effective. “

“Spain has the advantage of holding the ball as always, but they lack the ability to turn the ball into a threat. This leads to only two shots in the entire first half of Spain, and there is no threat, and Spain’s ball control zone More in the backcourt of the side, slightly away from the 32m area of ​​the German team, the threat is not great! “

“The first half was dull and lackluster, but it can also be seen as an attempt by the head coaches of both sides to their respective tactics. Now we can only look forward to the second half to see whether Yang Cheng took the lead in adjusting and actively breaking the deadlock or Spain Better adapt to the German team’s tactics and find a way to crack down on the German team’s oppression. “

“And the two teams are currently sitting on the bench with a good group of players, and the two head coaches are also no lack of talents to change the situation after the midfield substitution, so we can only expect them to have a better second half. which performed!”

As the on-site commentator said, Yang Cheng and Bosque took their players into the player aisle and walked into the locker room, while the fans of the two teams in the stands supported the team as always.

For their group of fans, although the game is a bit dull, but 45 minutes passed quickly, full of danger, it can also be seen as the wits of the two head coaches, and both teams are also good at the second half. Power, Spain is good at waiting until the opponent’s physical strength is no longer in force, while the German team has a good at midfield adjustment Yang Cheng.

Therefore, fans of both teams quickly forgot the dullness of the first half and turned to focus on the second half of the game! (To be continued)
