The fatal flaw of the 540 tactics

"Hey, here!"

Ronaldo raised his hand high and the ball quickly passed from Messi's feet, and then he was seen to cut forward quickly and a beautiful half-turn volley sent Messi's low ball down the right flank into the Petr Cech-guarded goal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sleek shot drew applause from the players on the pitch, but Cech was scored and slammed the ball into his ass as Ronaldo turned to congratulate his team-mate.

Xiao Xiao Luo was in pain, and immediately chased after Cech to fight, and the whole training ground suddenly burst into laughter.

Even Jose Mourinho couldn't help but shake his head on the sidelines, but he was satisfied with the current atmosphere in the team, especially the team's successive victories before the season.

First the Premier League Asian Cup won Chelsea and Liverpool, and then the Newton Heath Cup won Droysden in succession, and the atmosphere in the team remained relatively good and stable.

What worries Mourinho at the moment may be the progress of Zambrotta and Thuram's integration into the team!

It should be said that there is no doubt about the quality of both players, and the real concern is whether they will be able to integrate into the team, especially Zambrotta as a full-back.

You must know that in the offensive tactical system of the Red Rebels, fullbacks have always been a major focus, but from the perspective of the training process, Zambrotta obviously has not been able to appreciate the tactics of the Red Rebels, which makes Mourinho not as good as Lahm.

Of course, Mourinho is not unhappy with the club's sale of Lahm, on the contrary, he feels that it is a good decision for everyone to sell Lahm, and the introduction of Zambrotta and Thuram can build on their experience and ensure that the Red Rebels do not lose the chain at a critical time like last season.

As for the adaptation thing, ahem, take your time!

Mourinho, who was a little helpless in his heart, sighed secretly and blew the whistle at the end of training!

Zambrotta stopped out of breath and kept greeting his teammates around him, some of whom would choose to stay on the field to practice, while others would return to the locker room to take a shower and finish the day's training, and they would definitely have a show in the evening.

Originally, Zambrotta came to the Red Rebels to attack the main position, but after coming here, Mourinho arranged for him and Thuram to sit on the bench on the sidelines for a full 90 minutes, and after the other players came on one after another, he did not arrange for them to play.

After the game, Mourinho took the initiative to talk to them about the game, hoping that they could learn more about the tactical system of the Red Rebels, observe with their eyes, and analyze with their experience.

Coming from Serie A, which claims to pay the most attention to tactics, Zambrotta and Thuram have never encountered such a complex tactical system as the Red Rebels, the whole tactical system is like an assembly line for producing goals, very complex, with many processes, requiring each player to understand his or her responsibilities and maintain absolute concentration and execution on the pitch.

Not only that, but even in training, Zambrotta felt that the Red Rebels' training intensity was very high, and it could even be said that they would not lose a formal game, while Mourinho was very demanding in training, and he even asked every player to train as if they were playing a formal game.

Walked out of the training ground of the first team and came to the training ground of the youth team.

The Red Rebels' youth training system is huge, but the Newton Heath training base can only be trained by echelons of all ages, the Red Rebels are responsible for their learning and diet, they are the most outstanding players in that age group, and they have received formal Red Rebels-style football training in schools, football schools and other Red Rebels youth training systems since childhood.

This allows them to read the football culture of the Red Rebels as soon as they show up at the Newton Heath training base.

Muhrensteen was directing the young players in training, and he was directing the oldest youth team, and he didn't shout at the youth team players like Mourinho shouted Zambrotta and Thuram, and Zambrotta observed that everyone in the youth team seemed to know their responsibilities and their positions.

Jose Mourinho often called a halt to the game, reminded Zambrotta that he should keep a distance of about 10 meters from his teammates, and then emphasized one kick to the ball, asking to avoid two feet as much as possible, and many times as long as he let the ball stop at his feet three times, Mourinho would immediately stop the game and reprimand.

Zambrotta thinks it's strange about this, stopping is a kick, adjusting is also a kick, and then passing a kick, there should be no problem with three kicks, and it won't affect the team's attack, why is Mourinho so demanding?

In addition to a kick and a distance of 10 meters, Mourinho cough requires players to maintain a three-man combination, whether in attack or defense, must be a group of three people, control an area, which requires the player's ability to read the game and observe the surroundings in the fast-paced game.

But standing outside the barbed wire fence of the youth team training ground and seeing the youth team games inside, he was surprised to find that even the cooperation of the youth team is one kick, and those who can kick one foot will never kick the second kick, plus they often use three people as a group when attacking, so that their tactics are in the same vein as the first team from the bones.

To Zambrotta's surprise, the youth team players also have a thorough understanding of running off the ball, and although it is only training, they can almost always ensure that there are at least three points of contact around the ball carrier, which is quite remarkable.

However, in the first team of the Red Rebels, the number of contact points in training was required to reach four, and although the results of training could not be achieved in the game, there was almost no problem in maintaining a stable three contact points.

Recalling Juventus's continuous confrontation against the Red Rebels, Zambrotta in those games, the deepest feeling is the cooperation and fluency of the Red Rebels, the passing and receiving are very fast and simple, but at the same time the success rate is very high.

The combination of so many advantages made it difficult for the Red Rebels to contain their attack, which is why they were able to play such hearty offensive football.

It has been said that in soccer with such a lot of pressure, knowing how to respond is often more effective than any technique!

Of course, maintaining such a complex tactical system, maintaining so many off-ball runs and receiving throughout the game, is bound to be physically demanding, especially as the season progresses, which is why the laboratory is so important to the Red Rebels.

"Running empty, cutting the ball with one kick, and dribbling have become the last resort for the Red Rebels, with their excellent ability to read the game and observe the game to run and cooperate, no wonder everyone says that the Red Rebels are playing a kind of golf football!" Zambrotta watched the youth team's training on the sidelines, muttering to himself, with great admiration in his tone.

"Of course, the Red Rebels' football, the first to receive and the second to pass, passers no longer know how many they are ranked into!" Evra's laughing voice appeared behind Zambrotta.

The Italian turned around and found that in addition to Evra, captain David Beckham was also there.

"No...... I'm sorry, I ...... "Zambrotta thought he was doing something wrong.

"No, it's nothing, Gianluka, watching the youth team training can really help you better understand the tactical system of our Red Rebels, because the tactics of the two are in the same vein." Beckham said with a smile.

"Isn't it strange why we put so much emphasis on the ball?"

Zambrotta nodded, he hadn't quite understood the reason.

"Actually, you misunderstood, Gianluka, it's not forbidden to play with two feet, or even three feet in our team, but we put more emphasis on cooperation in a small area, such as 2 to 1, 3 to 2, in this narrow range of cooperation, it must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, so we emphasize one kick to the ball."

"David is right, you can think about it, when does the boss usually stop the game?" Evra laughed.

Zambrotta thought back, and he vaguely figured out that although Mourinho often called a stop, he didn't call a stop every time, often when his teammates next to him ran out of space, or when he took the initiative to cooperate with himself, and if he stopped for a moment, it was likely to delay the fighter.

"The tactics of our Red Rebels have always emphasized fast and slow, passing and cutting, controlling belts, short passes and long passes, all with the control of the game, the control of the rhythm, and the control of football as the core, so the core concept of our Red Rebels' tactics is, to put it bluntly, control and oppression!"

"Oppressive ......," Zambrotta chewed on Beckham's words.

"That's right, the crowd presses!" David Beckham was absolutely sure.

Zambrotta frowned, he was no stranger to oppression under Capello's tent, but he was curious about the oppression of the audience, which should be said to be characteristic of the Red Rebels.

"You don't find that we have a lot of the time, the three lines are very close together." Evra reminded from the side.

Zambrotta looked at the players on the youth team's training ground, he observed for about a minute, and found that these players, whether in attack or defense, were kept in a very tight formation, and the distance between the three lines was well maintained, about ...... "35 meters? Zambrotta guessed.

"To be precise, it should be controlled between 30 and 35 meters, the center, the midfielder, the central defender, the three central axes are exactly about 10 meters apart, which is the echo distance that our Red Rebels require for the distance that players run from each other."

"Less than 30 meters is likely to cause confusion between our players, the space is too narrow, the space behind us is bound to increase, especially when we press, causing the distance between the back line and the goalkeeper to be too far, it is easy to be counterattacked, and if it is too far apart, it is impossible to keep the three lines compact, weaken the pressure on the opponent, and weaken the control of the game."

Perhaps seeing Zambrotta's understanding, Everrat drew a pitch on the ground beside the road, but he drew it so badly that Beckham couldn't stand it, made fun of him, and took the job himself.

"Keep the three lines compact, and keep the distance between the center and the center back between 30-35 meters, which can ensure that when the forward line is pressed, the back line is also pressed, and the back line can even be directly involved in the attack of the front, especially the two full-backs, which can be a sharp weapon to tear apart the wings."

"And once the back line retreats, the forward line also retreats, and the forward line can be the first barrier of defense, which is why our strikers are always asked to actively pull back, and with this compact three lines, we can have an advantage in the area of 30-35 meters."

Zambrotta immediately understood what Beckham meant, and he immediately understood why the Red Rebels would ask the three lines to keep their distance.

To put it simply, there are 11 people on the football field, minus the goalkeeper, 10 people on each side, if the Red Rebels compress all three lines to 30-35 meters, and the opponent is beyond this range, then in the case of a fixed boundary line, in this 30-35 meters area, all 10 players of the Red Rebels are involved in the game, and the opponent is not.

Although this is only a short period of time, it is conceivable that when such a scene occurs on the football field, the opponent is no different from being sent off with a red card. The Red Rebels are not easy to control the game and oppress their opponents?

Anyone who knows even a little bit about football theory knows how much a loss a red card can be, but the Red Rebels can do it tactically, in theory, and the real work is carried out by the players.

Then, Zambrotta finally understood why the Red Rebels were not afraid of the full-court pressing tactics at all, because the full-field pressing was equivalent to expanding the distance between the opponent's three lines, and the more intense the pressing, the more obvious the Red Rebels' local advantage.

In addition, the three lines remain compact, due to the fixed border line, coupled with the numerical superiority of the Red Rebels, it will be difficult for the opponent to break through the encirclement of the Red Rebels, no matter where the football is transferred, unless it is out of bounds, otherwise it will be under the close control of the Red Rebels, and maintain a strong pressure on the opponent at all times.

That's why Mourinho dares to let defenders such as Essien and De Rossi actively participate in the attack, because he knows very well that the Red Rebels are tactically mature, and a purely defensive midfielder is undoubtedly a waste for the Red Rebels, and only defenders like De Rossi and Essien can balance the lineup and participate in the attack, giving them the best of both worlds.

Thinking about this, Zambrotta couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the tactics of the Red Rebels, and at the same time, he also admired Mourinho, Kassel, Moniz and Mulensteen who created the tactics of the Red Rebels, and he could not even imagine that someone could devise such an incredible, almost perfect tactic.

But soon, as he pondered further, he immediately realized that there was a fatal flaw in the tactics of the Red Rebels, a flaw that was almost impossible to remedy!
