Chapter 553: The Mystery of the Top Powerful Team
80_80813Many fans will definitely feel very comfortable with a certain phenomenon and feel very strange.
Why are there often big scores in the matches of the five major European leagues, and even in some strong conversations?
It's like Manchester United playing Arsenal's 8-2, Manchester City playing Manchester United's 6-1, Barcelona playing Real Madrid's 5-0, and even in the Champions League, there have been cases of Barcelona slaughtering Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich beating Barcelona.
It stands to reason that the gap in strength between strong teams and strong teams should not be so disparity.
How is this possible?
Who would think that the gap between Manchester United and Arsenal is eight to two?
Who would have believed that Manchester United were beaten worse than the lower divisions by Manchester City?
Also, like Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Lionel Messi, why are these two superstars able to score so many goals so easily?
Is it really as simple as attacking just because the team revolves around them?
The reason for this is that modern football tactics are increasingly inclined to attack and defend, that is, to be holistic.
The benefits of wholeness are obvious, but the disadvantages are not impossible.
There are two sentences that can be summed up well, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and there are many people.
The former talks about the benefits of holism, and the latter talks about the problem of holism.
For the same offense, two people will definitely be more efficient than three people involved.
If four people, five people are involved, it is less efficient.
This is true for offense, and it is true for defense.
This is one of the problems posed by holism.
Another point is the so-called difficulty of making a big U-turn on the ship.
If individual combat is a small ship, then the overall operation is a giant warship.
In terms of stability and safety, it must be that giant warships have advantages, but if they want to temporarily adjust their direction and turn around in the event of an emergency, then they must be small ships that are more dexterous and take advantage.
In other words, integration inevitably leads to a lack of tactical flexibility and adaptability.
Therefore, the first thing to emphasize in modern football tactics is efficiency and tactical flexibility.
All teams, if they want to become a top team, they must solve these two problems.
Back to the question just now, why did Arsenal lose 2-8 to Manchester United?
Because Manchester United's tactics are more precise and lethal, more targeted, and Arsenal's adjustment ability and adaptability are too poor, they were directly disabled.
In this situation, Manchester United are like nimble hunters, and Arsenal are clumsy elephants, full of targets and very vulnerable.
Again, when it came to Manchester United and Manchester City, it was the other way around.
It's Manchester City who are more targeted, more precise and lethal, and Manchester United who have become vulnerable.
Yes, by this time, the answer is very clear.
In these big-score games, the outcome has been basically decided the moment the two sides walked into the court.
The on-the-spot performance of the players, the on-the-spot command of the manager, at best, can only change the size of the score.
Even if your team is full of superstars who can kill a game on their own, it's hard to make the difference between victory and defeat.
In this case, the preparation before the game is the real decisive factor!
In Yang Huan's understanding, the overall strength of the team is the foundation of a strong team, but how much it can play and whether it can beat the opponent depends on tactics.
And now and in the future, tactics will rely more and more on large numbers.
By analyzing a large number of large numbers, the system can help the coaching staff to optimize the configuration of the team's lineup, minimize the impact of injuries and rotations on the team, and maximize the strength of the game.
At the same time, relying on a large number of jรน to make pre-game predictions, sand table deduction for the lineup and tactics that the opponent may appear, and finally formulate a set of precise and lethal targeted tactics.
In other words, the purpose of the analysis is to ensure that the team can play its own strength steadily and controllably, suppress the opponent's tactics, and then win and score points steadily, no matter what kind of opponent it encounters during the long season.
Because of this, it is crucial for players like Tony Kroos and Nemanja Matic to be able to perform steadily in the long term and provide the team with a steady number of points.
Of course, the large number analysis system is not omnipotent, but whenever it comes to people, there will always be zร i variables.
But with this system of analysis, Southampton can face any opponent and face any complex fixture.
It can be said that after nearly three years of research and development and preparation, the analysis system has finally achieved fruitful results and brought a huge boost to the team.
Therefore, at this time, the question that Yang Huan was thinking about had to go further.
"Lao Bei, I've always had a problem!"
The two were still walking side by side on the cobblestone path, and after listening to Young Master Huan's words, Bielsa just nodded slightly and said nothing, but the meaning was already obvious.
"How do you think Southampton can be built into a team that is at the top of its game, like Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich?" Yang Huan asked very seriously.
He has spoken to Peter Kenyon, Ron Gulley and Sun Yue that with Southampton's current operational capabilities, as long as they can reach the top of their game on the football pitch, they can run Southampton and go one step further to the top of the club.
Bielsa also realized the importance of Young Master Huan's question.
Indeed, Southampton is no longer the League One side of what it was two years ago.
Now that the Saints are second in the Premier League table, and even have hopes of competing for the league title, and have one of the best squads in the Premier League, the questions cannot be confined to the domestic arena.
Rather, it should be...... Champions!
With Yang Huan's ambitious character, he must want to make a difference in the Champions League.
Then, you have to figure out how to build a top team!
After a few minutes of silence, Bielsa spoke lightly.
"A lot of people think that the whole of football tactics started when Greece won the European Championship in '04, but it wasn't."
"Isn't it?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
Bielsa shook his head, "That's the illusion of ordinary people, in the industry, many people's research and discussion on holistic football has already begun, Manchester United's treble in 99 seems to be very sinister, and the luck component is very large, but the outstanding performance of the following years has caused many people to think deeply." โ
"Also, Real Madrid's two Champions League victories in 98 and 2,000 years, as well as the subsequent decline of the Galaxy Battleship period, have also made many people in the industry seriously think about holistic football, as for Real Madrid won the Champions League again in 2002, it seems to many people to be more like a product of special circumstances."
Yang Huan also let Bielsa's words pull his thoughts and nodded lightly.
Manchester United sent away Eric Cantona and immediately ushered in the peak of '99, but after sending away Stam and bringing in superstar Veron, the Red Devils dynasty suddenly collapsed, is it just a coincidence?
If Manchester United is a coincidence, then after Guardiola sent away superstars Ronaldinho and Deco, he ushered in the best Grand Slam dynasty in history; Is it also a coincidence that Inter Milan welcomed Mourinho's treble after sending away Ibrahimovic?
"A lot of people admire Manchester United's 92 class, especially the golden four midfielder."
The so-called golden four midfielders are Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Keane and Beckham, which is considered by many football insiders to be the most perfect midfield combination in football history.
"Theoretically, Bayern Munich was at its strongest in '99 and '2000, when Heathfield's Bayern team was at its peak, but they didn't win the Champions League until 2001, they lost to Manchester United in the final, and they lost to Bosque's Real Madrid in the semi-finals in 2001."
"A lot of people will feel sorry for Bayern Munich and think that Bayern Munich lost to luck, but from a certain point of view, luck is only part of the story, and more importantly, Bayern Munich solved a problem that the previous two seasons did not solve in 200."
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bielsa.
"That's breaking the dense defense!" /p>
Suddenly, Yang Huan seemed to understand something, but he couldn't grasp the key.
"It is precisely because of the solution to the problem of breaking the dense defense that Bayern Munich reached the knockout stage of the Champions League in 2001, defeated the fierce rivals Manchester United and Real Madrid in a row, reached the Champions League final, and finally won the championship!"
"The 2004 European Championship was also a miracle for Greece because all the European powerhouses at the time failed to find an effective way to break through the dense defence of integrated football!"
"In the same way, in the two years at the beginning of the century, the La Liga Bat Army Valencia, under the leadership of Argentine coach Cooper, reached the Champions League finals in a row, relying on the overall dense defense, 02 to 03 season, Juventus and AC Milan gathered in the Champions League final, also relying on intensive defense, 03 to 04 season, Porto and Monaco reached the final, the same."
'In those years, there was a very interesting situation in European football all over the world.
"Those quasi-first-class teams, even second-rate teams, rely on excellent integrated tactics and unbreakable dense defense, rise strongly, sweep the entire Europa, but those traditional big teams, but are generally looking for an effective way to break through the dense defense."
"From AC Milan to Barcelona Dream II to Manchester United's run-and-gun trident, they are all looking for, and although they have occasionally succeeded, they have never been able to find a long-term and effective way to break down the dense defense."
"Although I was in South America all this time, European professional football has always led the tactical change, so I have always thought about and paid attention to this issue, and even tried again and again, either successfully or unsuccessfully."
"Before Pep Guardiola took charge of Barcelona, I told him that if you want to break the overall dense defense, you must grasp the two major disadvantages of the whole, efficiency and tactical flexibility, and if you want to take advantage of these two major loopholes, you have to be faster and more efficient than the defender!"
"If it is said that the high-level pressing naturally solves the problem of full offense and defense and ensures that the team recovers the ball in the shortest possible time, then the problem in front of all teams is how to complete the offensive and defensive conversion in the shortest possible time and in the most effective way, play the time difference, catch the defender off guard, and expose the disadvantages of integrated defense!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but feel that his eyes lit up, and all the problems suddenly became clear.
This is the mystery of the top team!
"Pep Guardiola is a very smart and thoughtful person, and based on what I said, combined with the traditional characteristics of Barcelona, he created a unique possession system, which solved the problem of breaking down dense defenses, which provided an excellent example for many latecomers, including Bayern Munich's Louis van Gaal."
"But Mourinho is also smart, the Portuguese may not be good at innovation, but he is very good at playing targeted, so his Inter Milan relied on a more dense overall defense and more efficient counter-attacking efficiency, defeated one opponent after another, and won the treble!"
"But Mourinho's tactical style of play is not sustainable, even if Inter Milan's overall strength remains at its peak, give Mourinho another year, and in 2011, the Portuguese's Inter Milan will not succeed."
"It comes down to the fact that all strong teams must have the ability to break through dense defenses, and the stronger this ability, the better the strength of the team, the more competitive it is!"
"A team that doesn't have the ability to break down a dense defense, even if it succeeds occasionally, it's just a flash in the pan and it's not sustainable, because today you put on a weak team posture, so you can succeed on the counter-attack, but once you succeed, it's someone else's turn to fight your counter-attack."
"In this case, without the ability to break down dense defenses, you can still play? Can it continue to be successful? โใ
