436 Space Scramble

Many people will complain that a football game is dull and inefficient, often only one or two goals can be scored in 90 minutes, and even some goals are not beautiful enough and not exciting enough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
These people are only suitable for watching basketball, they love the crunch of hearing the basketball into the frame, they can't appreciate the true beauty and essence of football.
Football is a game of wits and courage, the two sides of the game start before the game, they may confuse their opponents with all kinds of smoke, they will use all kinds of rhetoric to provoke each other, they will create all kinds of momentum to create psychological pressure on the opponent.
And in the game, the tactics of both sides also showed wisdom and courage.
A football game, if you look at it from a big perspective, may be divided into two forms, controlling the ball and controlling the space.
Many people think that controlling the ball is the strongest football concept, but in fact it is not, because even if you control the ball well, you will still lose the ball after all, so what should you do at this time?
Rob!
There is a saying that is very true, a team that does not know how to steal the ball will never win the championship!
If you want to delve into the ball grab, you have to mention the stadium space!
If a living person stands on the pitch and his embodiment is three-dimensional, then a pitch is also three-dimensional.
Taking the Red Rebels as an example, many people say that the Red Rebels' offensive is three-dimensional and cannot be prevented, why?
The reason is simple, length, height, width, the Red rebels' offensive has this element, and the height depends on Drogba, which is why the Ivorians are so important in the tactical system of the Red rebels; The width is based on two wingers and full-backs; The length is due to Beckham's long pass and Kaka's breakthrough in the middle.
The length, height, and width are all there, and as long as they are blended into shapes, the offense will naturally follow the three-dimensional.
Does this mean that the Red rebel offensive could not be stopped?
Obviously not, it's just an idealistic scenario, but on the pitch, the players are playing under a lot of tension and a lot of pressure, and they can't be as good as they do in training.
Any professional player is absolutely very good in their skills, and it is impossible to become a professional player if they are not outstanding, but the difference is that those who are under high tension and tenacious pressure from their opponents, but can still play their own strength, have a wonderful performance and play, can become superstars.
And those players who can't show their all, but are also decent under tension and pressure, can become first-class stars, and those players who perform averagely, they can only be reduced to ordinary.
That's why countless people on the streets of Brazil and at home are more skilled and fancy than Ronaldinho, but they will never reach the height of Ronaldinho, and this is the crux of why Denilson is doing well in Brazil but not in Europe.
And the reason for these is space!
Outside of the game, players are given plenty of room to make their next move, which allows every professional player to have a world-class performance, but on the playing field, as the opponent presses and presses, the space becomes smaller, and only a handful of superstars can play under such intense pressure and tight space.
It is precisely because the individual performance of the players is affected by the space, so the team's tactics are, to put it bluntly, the competition for space.
The side with the ball is desperate to create space and use space, while the side without the ball is doing everything possible to compress space and prevent the opponent from using space.
On the other hand, AC Milan's tactics, the front court gives Palacio freedom, the reason is very simple, that is, to use the personal ability of the Argentine star to constantly create space and use space for the team in the attack, Tomasson is at the front of the team, Inzaghi is ambushed in the penalty area, they are not strikers with strong ball control, and they all need Palacio's support.
But Palacio, as a free man in the frontcourt, even if he specially arranged a person to mark him, it was difficult to limit his play, and Ancelotti specially arranged Emerson to mark Palacio, but the Blues still failed, why?
Man-to-man tactics are very dangerous for a team's defensive system, because a local failure is likely to knock down a domino and cause the entire team's defensive system to collapse, and Palacio's position is very flexible, and the specific marking means that the defender can be out of position at any time.
Is there no way to defend Palacio?
No!
There is no such thing as a flawless tactic or a flawless player!
........................" Palacio took the ball on the left and was broken off the touchline by McConn, AC Milan's fourth throw-in of the first half! ”
Andy? Gray looked at the time, "The game has been going on for 10 minutes, and judging from the course of these 10 minutes, the Red Rebels seem to be very patient and not in a hurry at all, and Mourinho's tactics have also limited Palacio's play very well, and the Argentines have been restricted no matter which area they move to!" ”
"Knowing that the two AC Milan forwards, Tomasson and Inzaghi, are not strong in possession and not fast, so Mourinho decisively gave the full-backs freedom, so that they can better cooperate with the two midfielders and limit Palacio." Martin? Taylor laughed.
In the first 10 minutes, both sides were not conservative and the attack and defence were quickly switched between attack and defence, especially the Red Rebels, who were more comfortable playing at a faster tempo, which AC Milan could not stop, because Pirlo repeatedly tried to slow down the ball, but he found that he could not slow down.
Kaka's position was between Pirlo and Seedorf, and from time to time he would stick up to interfere, and the Red Rebels' two wingers were positioned closer to the middle, so Pirlo could not successfully achieve possession and always could not organize an effective attack.
In addition, Mourinho also made an interesting adjustment in this game, that is, in response to the characteristics of Tomasson and Inzaghi, he pressed the defensive line forward, further compressed the area of activity between the midfield and Palacio, and also narrowed the distance between the three lines.
"Mourinho's tactics in this game are very clear, knowing that possession may not be better than AC Milan, so he does not chase possession, but he does not let AC Milan easily control the ball, especially in his own half, as soon as Pirlo and Seedorf enter the Red Rebels half, they are immediately blocked and pressed."
Andy? Gray said with a smile: "When you encounter this kind of defense, you can either go straight behind you, but judging from the ten minutes of the first half, the Red Rebels' offside trap and two-rib defense are still very good; Either they move from the centre to the wings, with AC Milan lacking wide attackers and relying on full-backs to get in front of them when Palacio is restricted. ”
In an attack by the Red Rebels, Messi faced Maldini and wanted to use his speed and skill to eat the opponent alone, but Maldini had no choice but to have rich experience, cut off the ball in advance, and after advancing with the ball, he handed it to Seedorf, who was pulled to the side.
As soon as Seedorf had the ball, Essien had already blocked it, and not far away, McCone had already stepped forward to the midfield, cut off Seedorf's pass to Palacio early, and then launched a wave of counter-attacks, but in the end Drogba's shot was crooked.
"It can be seen that AC Milan is very unsuitable for the tactics of the Red Rebels, originally some people speculated that the Red Rebels who reached the final for the first time would start with a fierce attack, and some people speculated that the Red Rebels would defend and counterattack steadily, but certainly not too many people guessed that the Red Rebels would play with AC Milan so slowly."
Both sides were very targeted, with Tassotti also limiting the Red Rebels' attacking combination with a back three, which allowed the game to go on for so long, with both sides having a couple of shots on goal, but neither could get a good chance to score.
After all, this is a 90-minute final of life and death, safe first, no one wants to be scored by the opponent first!
…………………… Tasottti, who had just successfully renewed his contract with AC Milan, sat in the dugout after the opening game, and it was not until 20 minutes into the game that the situation on the pitch had not changed, and he came out to the sidelines to make some adjustments and explanations with the players.
As Andy? As Gray put it, with poor organisation in the middle and Palacio confined by Mourinho's tight defensive system, AC Milan began to attack with two wings, especially Cafu on the right.
As a world-class right wing-back in the past, Cafu is 35 years old, but he is still growing stronger, and his grandfather and Maldini's grandfather wings have been a good filling for AC Milan's boundless problems this season, inserting a favorable weapon in the back row.
Less than 2 minutes after Tassotti made the adjustment, AC Milan found a chance on the right side, Cafu cut in the back row, 45 degrees diagonal cross into the box, Tomasson grabbed the point in the box, but there was some hesitation to get out of the foot, and the shot from close range was saved by Cech like a god.
'It was one of the most dangerous shots of the game, and Tomasson, who did well to get the first point, but his hesitation caused AC Milan to miss a good chance to break the deadlock, and the Czech goalkeeper added to his excellent and consistent performances this season.
However, AC Milan, who tasted the sweetness from the full-backs, immediately adjusted their tactics and used two full-backs to take turns forward, especially Cafu, who frequently launched attacks from the right side, which did create a lot of momentum and make the situation on the field start to become tense.
The Red Rebels' attack relied more on the cooperation of Kaka and Messi on the right, plus McCone inserted in the back row, and joined forces to attack the left side of Maldini's guard.
In the 24th minute, Messi cooperated with Kaka and McCone on the right side in a row, using his personal speed to eat Maldini alone, and crossed from the bottom, Drogba pressed Nesta in front of the goal to grab the first point, but under the interference of the latter, the header was crooked, and the ball grazed the post out of bounds.
It was the Red Rebels' best chance since the first half, but unfortunately they couldn't get on the scoresheet.
After that, both sides gradually let go and began to go back and forth offensive, but no one gave up the importance of defense, and no one was willing to show their flaws when attacking, so that the opponent could seize the opportunity.
It's a fierce competition, but it's not exciting!
However, in the final of the Champions Cup, it is impossible for anyone to play attacking football in such a crucial game, which is unrealistic, which is why the Champions Cup final in recent years has been criticized for being conservative.
Although he didn't have an advantage on the field, Mourinho didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and there was no intention of adjustment, but it was Tasotti, who saw the Red Rebels attacking the left side, and consciously asked the team to strengthen the defense on the left side and assist Maldini, after all, the Red Rebels' attack is sharp, and Messi is young but talented, and it is dangerous if he is not careful.
"Both sides played very carefully, and if the current situation continues, the first half will likely end 0-0!" Andy? Gray was mentally prepared for this kind of scene, and fans who wanted to see a spectacular battle in the Champions League final would be disappointed.
However, although it was more than half an hour and both sides had not scored a goal, the fans on both sides in the stands still gave the team the greatest support, and their non-stop cheers and cheers gave the players enough motivation.
Who knows, just Andy? As soon as Gray finished speaking, the situation on the field immediately changed.
