A lot of people say that Michels? Attacking and defending has revolutionized the world of football.

But what has changed, few people can say, except professionals.

In the world of football tactics, there has always been a set of experience and theoretical systems that ordinary people cannot be familiar with, from the past to the present, in the same line, constantly evolving, although there are branches, but they are always changing.

If you interpret it literally, going all in one way is when everyone is engaged in offense and defense.

But if you think about it, if everybody is attacking at the same time, who is going to defend?

The reverse is also true.

Thinking about it again, the football field is so big, so many people are engaged in attack, how can efficiency be solved? How to form an effective offensive threat?

In other words, it's not just about the number of people involved.

It has a complete set of tactical ideas of its own.

And it's not simply asking the players to be on offense or defensive, which is superficial.

To put it simply, the full offense and full defense is to completely blur the position on the field, the player adapts to the enemy's conditions, guides according to the situation, and uses fluid running and passing and receiving to pull the opponent's defensive line, create loopholes, and then attack for loopholes.

That is to say, in a team that is all attacking and defending, there is no difference between strikers, midfielders and defenders, whoever appears in the front line is a striker, and whoever appears in the back line is a defender.

There is no clear division of labor and functional arrangements for the players, and the connection is completely based on the situation on the field, as well as the players' own understanding and creativity on the field, and the team from front to back, even including the goalkeeper, is completely integrated, regardless of each other.

Doesn't that seem incredible?

Yes, an ideal all-offense and all-defense, that's it.

Moreover, it seems so invincible that it is unbeatable.

But everyone knows that in reality, this is impossible to achieve, but all football people are crazy to work in this direction, to study, to explore, and to move towards it step by step.

Take a closer look at the past few years, football tactics have changed with each passing day, but nothing has changed.

Traditional scoring centre-forwards are gradually being phased out and replaced by players like Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who can take on more midfield functions, as they are called, well-rounded centre-forwards.

The traditional winger is disappearing in favor of the so-called in-cut winger, or the control winger, or the scoring winger of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even a superstar like Messi, who is almost a top striker, a top winger, and a top midfielder.

Yes, Messi's greatness lies in his perfect interpretation of the exploration and understanding of countless football people in the past few years.

Over the years, the tactics of professional football have been constantly changing, figuring out one type after another, and creating new types of players after another.

Some succeed, some fail, and some are not clear for the time being, who knows?

But everyone is clearly moving towards the idea of going all on offense and defense.

Barcelona has successfully created a denuclearized midfield system, and although Pep Guardiola's exploration has been interrupted for various reasons, Barcelona's success has shocked the entire professional football world.

Bielsa then led Southampton to a strong rise.

If the Saints did not show signs of denuclearization during the time of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, then last season, after selling superstars such as Ibrahimovic, Luka Modric and James Rodriguez, Bielsa's team completely played a denuclearized midfield.

Luis Suarez, Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas, Di Maria, Danilo, David Alaba, Southampton's entire midfield and the left and right wings are all completely linked.

Their smooth running, staggering frequency of cross-positioning, and skilful passing and receiving combined with their skilful passing and receiving skills completely surprised everyone to see that this is the future of football.

It can be said that Southampton has taken a big step forward on the basis of Barcelona.

Yes, a small step for the saints is equivalent to a giant leap in world football.

That's why world football is so shocked by the Saints' achievements, and almost every manager in the world has such a high regard for the Saints.

However, it is difficult for Bielsa to go any further in the transformation of the saints.

The development of football tactics has its regularity, as well as its objectivity.

Now, the key to the further development of football tactics is defence.

Yes, it is not difficult to achieve the denuclearization of the attack, and even apart from Southampton, I am afraid that in the next few years, other teams will be able to realize this set of ideas, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

However, how to integrate defense into a denuclearized system has become the biggest obstacle.

This is a problem that even Bielsa cannot solve, and because of this, Bielsa decided to take a break from the front line of coaching and devote himself to research again, hoping to find an effective way to overcome this problem.

No one knows how long it will take and how much manpower, material and financial resources will be invested.

Looking at professional football, there are really not many people who are willing to invest resources in this area of research.

It's more like UEFA and FIFA that are motivated by the public good.

However, Yang Huan invested, and he invested a lot of money.

After Bielsa decided to retire, Yang Huan has always believed that Guardiola is the most ideal successor.

Why?

Because Pep Guardiola is the same as Bielsa, their quest is the same.

More importantly, in addition to Bielsa, Yang Huan really can't think of any coach in today's European football who can inherit Bielsa's concept and continue to explore.

In turn, Pep Guardiola is well aware that the team in European football that best fits his philosophy is Southampton.

Today's Barcelona is no longer able to meet Pep Guardiola's demands.

After the aging of players such as Xavi and Andres Iniesta, Barcelona did not bring in the right players or continue the motivation of Pep Guardiola's philosophical exploration, and they began to live on the credit of the past.

Only Southampton, they still stick to it.

Cesc Fabregas, Angel Di Maria and Toni Kroos are all still young, but the emergence of new talents such as Paul Pogba and Mateo Kovacic has made Southampton more moldable.

In a way, Southampton has overtaken Barcelona in just two or three years, becoming the strongest team in European football, and at the same time the closest team to attacking and defending.

And between Southampton and Pep Guardiola, there is still a year to go.

Therefore, Yang Huan needs Ancelotti to make a good transition for the saints in the coming year.

…………

…………

After Ancelotti listened to Yang Huan's words, she was really excited.

As a football coach, his coaching philosophy is different from that of Pep Guardiola and Bielsa, but he is equally excited about their pursuits and their achievements.

He used to play for AC Milan during the Three Musketeers' period, when Sacchi was also pursuing an all-out attack, and he effectively combined the concept of the Netherlands to attack and defend with the chain defense of Italy, creating the peak dynasty of AC Milan and the glory of the Italian national team.

Ancelotti is the witness and executor of all this for Sacchi, so he also has his own understanding of attacking and defending.

And he was born in Italy, where defense is the soul, and defense can even be said to have been completely integrated into his blood.

So, he's excited because he believes he'll be able to bring something of his own to Southampton on this path.

It is estimated that the reason why the saints chose him was also in this regard.

"Young Master Huan, I have some questions." Ancelotti said.

"Oh?" Yang Huan smiled slightly and nodded, "Excuse me." ”

"I'm curious, if you look at the needs of the team, Monaco midfielder Verratti should be more in line with the needs of the Saints than Cesc Fabregas, but why did the Saints decide to bring in Cesc Fabregas last summer?"

Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, you're right, Verratti is very much in line with the needs of the team, but at that time, the coaching staff thought that he was not suitable for Southampton for the time being, he was not mature enough, and Monaco needed Verratti more than the Saints at that time, so ......"

Although they belong to the same group, the interests of all parties must be taken into account when recruiting.

There are a lot of teams trying to bring in Verratti this year, especially Barcelona.

Luis Enrique even went so far as to say that Verratti is not like Pirlo, but like Xavi, and asked the management to do everything they can to get Verratti, but Barcelona may have no hope because the player has already been booked in advance by Southampton.

The Saints mean that Verratti will continue to play at Monaco for another season and join the team next summer.

Verratti has also agreed to this, so he is very happy to renew his contract with Monaco.

"What about Pogba? What is Pogba's position within the Saints? Ancelotti asked with concern.

Many people say that Pogba is the crown prince of the saints, young, but he is greatly valued.

Interestingly, the Saints don't seem to have the intention of supporting Pogba as the core main force, why is that?

After Yang Huan heard this, he smiled, "Pogba is a genius, there is no doubt about it, but we don't want him to be set too early, and we don't want him to be fixed in a certain position too early." ”

Ancelotti shook his head, "I don't really understand. ”

"His future position, in the middle of the pitch."

Ancelotti's eyes lit up, didn't she?

The Saints' philosophy is to further improve the overall denuclearization system, so it is not surprising that Pogba should play the front court.

It's no wonder Bielsa has allowed Pogba to try to play in a number of different positions.

"I see!" Ancelotti nodded.

understands the team's positioning of Pogba, then he also knows how to cultivate and carve this treasure jade next.

There's Mateo Kovacic, Anthony Martial, Ravel Morrison, and other players.

After Yang Huan saw Ancelotti's expression, he smiled slightly and asked, "How is it, Carol, do you have confidence?" ”

"It depends on what the management asks of me." Ancelotti also smiled slightly and replied.

'You won't have any pressure on results in the new season, the focus is on developing these players and helping us bring them out.

With the strength of the Saints today, coupled with the introduction of Messi, Southampton continues to defend the Premier League, there is hardly any big suspense, as for the Champions League, it is a very accidental event, as long as the results are ideal, the Saints management will not have much opinion.

Therefore, in the new season, the Saints do not have much requirement in terms of results.

The most important thing is to further improve the team's tactical system and whether these young players can play.

“ok！” Ancelotti readily agreed.

Stretching his waist again, the Italian fat man looked at the Persian Gulf in the distance, "Hearing that Young Master Huan sketched such an exciting blueprint, I began to be a little impatient." ”

After Yang Huan heard this, he also laughed straight away.

For Ancelotti, both he and the management of the Saints are very confident.
