795 Play like Real Madrid
In Carrington, in Ferguson's office, Manchester United's coaching staff are watching the video of the game sadly. Filan, on the other hand, was explaining to them what he discovered during the game. [Literature]
Real Madrid, a top team that has become the public enemy of teams all over the world!
Ferguson's assessment of Yang Cheng's team is that this team is playing football on Mars, while all the other teams are still on Earth, which shows the importance he attaches to this team.
"Against Real Madrid, we can't let them control the game!" Mike? Phelan analyzed very solemnly, "This is the best team I have ever seen, not only in terms of ball control and rhythm, but also in their control and occupation of space, the awareness of the players to play the ball, very advanced!" ”
There are many teams that have the ball, such as Barcelona and Arsenal, and there are many teams that control the tempo, such as Liverpool, and there are also many teams that control the space, such as Manchester United and Chelsea, but there are not many teams that can control both elements of the game at the same time.
Barcelona controls the tempo by possessing the ball, so they can slow down for dozens of minutes and suddenly play a fast-paced attack to complete the rhythm change; Manchester United and Chelsea, on the other hand, complete the control of space by running, and then complete the change of tempo by speeding up on the counter-attack.
But it is difficult for Barcelona to control the space, the reason is very simple, they want to ensure the possession of the ball, they need the player to run around the ball, not around the occupation of space, 433 although the space is expanded, but between the control of the ball and the control of the space, it is difficult to achieve a balance, because a player has a limited area to control, the wider the space. The less control.
Manchester United and Chelsea control the rhythm by controlling the space, but they must rely on running at any cost, and the players in this situation, it is difficult to control the ball, and the players of the Premier League team are still far behind La Liga in terms of technical details, so Manchester United and Chelsea are relatively weak in the control of the ball.
Many people wonder why Real Madrid's possession rate has increased over the years.
It is recognized by all professionals that this is a manifestation of Real Madrid's great progress!
If it is said that in the past, Real Madrid in order to ensure that the two aspects of possession and control of space were balanced. If they run too much and make too many mistakes, resulting in too little time on the ball, they are now able to improve the quality of their runs, thereby reducing passing errors and thus improving the team's time on the ball, but relatively speaking, their effective quality of possession has not changed!
This means that Real Madrid's threat is constantly rising!
For example, Real Madrid used to have 40 per cent possession and they were able to make 20 shots on goal. But now with 60 per cent possession, they can guarantee 25-30 shots on goal, or even more, because it's a snowball stack. Instead of simple arithmetic problems.
Some people may say, like Real Madrid, so much possession, so running, the players are physically able to stand it?
Real Madrid played 4231, and the control of the game area was relatively balanced, and Yang Cheng pressed the defense line very high. That is, it indirectly shortens the control area of Real Madrid players. Run less, and it's important to know that the more control you have over the ball, the more space, the more rhythm you have, the less energy you have to spend to do it all.
Sacchi even suggested that the physical exertion of Real Madrid players is actually not as great as the outside world assesses on the surface, because they have everything in their hands, they can attack, defend and even be lazy on the pitch as they please. Fight to feed the war.
For example, the full-backs who go back and forth the most, when Marcelo on the left is in front. McConn on the right is going to stay at the back and he can rest. The same goes for players in other positions, but the opponent is afraid of Real Madrid's attacking power and has to be tired of defending, which leads to excessive physical drain. …,
If you combine this series of advantages, this is why Real Madrid's attacking ability this season is so amazing!
Take a look at the players Mourinho has brought in this season, Motta, Diego? Milito and Sneijder are both practical players who follow the continental style technical school, which means that although Mourinho has a hard mouth, he is actually following Yang Cheng's line, and he is still unswerving!
Looking at Ferguson's reinforcements, Nani, Valencia, Benzema, and Berbatov are also technical, and they all have a common goal, that is, like Yang Cheng, when they already control the space, further control the ball, and then be able to play football similar to Real Madrid. [Literature]
As for Barcelona, in fact, the players introduced by Barcelona have one goal, that is, to occupy the space. Toure, Keita and Ibrahimovic are all taking the route of controlling space, because he also hopes to improve the occupation of space after controlling the ball, and then play football like Real Madrid.
No one knows how long this road will take, but everyone knows that this path is the right one, because Real Madrid has reached it!
But is Real Madrid really perfect?
Ferguson felt that there is no absolute perfection in this world, and Real Madrid is too, for example, their lack of control over the height is a big problem for Real Madrid, and it has always existed, and the second is that after advocating attack, the risk of full-backs being counterattacked is very high, which is also inevitable.
Opportunity and risk are like two sides of the coin, inseparable from each other, indissolvable, there is an opportunity and there is a risk, the kind of opportunity without risk is impossible to exist, but now Yang Cheng has completed the maximization of the pursuit of opportunity in the overall tactics, but the risk is minimized.
Ferguson has known Yang Cheng for so many years, and it can be said that he has watched Yang Cheng transform from a fledgling boy to today's world's top coach, which has brought him pressure, but also brought him immeasurable progress and motivation.
When the realm reaches their level, in fact, winning or losing is no longer important, the important thing is to complete their own pursuits and goals.
That's why Ferguson didn't object to the Glazer family taking over Manchester United, because the Glazer family were able to give him the opportunity to complete his football quest and achieve his goals.
Lose a game. Losing a season doesn't matter to Ferguson and Mourinho now, because they are both people with aspirations, and they both know that losing can expose more problems, but winning is easy to hold the team back, so they are not afraid of losing now.
But there is one difference, Ferguson is not as bold as Mourinho. The Portuguese are crazy, but very aggressive, and Ferguson, after all, is old, and when he arrives at the tournament, he is easy to look ahead and backward, and he does not have the momentum of a young person.
Of course, there is no good or bad for this, but everyone will be like this when they reach a certain age.
Unlike Yang Cheng, who has a large professional coaching staff, Ferguson's coaching staff is also quite large, and it also has a technical analysis team. But in fact, there are not many people who can share his worries, and after Queiroz is gone, it is almost gone, Mike? Firan is half. As a result, during the meeting, everyone habitually looked at Ferguson and listened to his arrangement.
Sometimes when I think about it, Ferguson really doesn't have a good feeling in his heart!
"In the next two days, we will pay attention to the tactical drill of attacking after the start of the game in training!" Ferguson commanded.
As soon as he spoke, all the Manchester United coaching staff immediately took notice. Write it down in your notebook.
"The main team. Goalkeeper Evra van der Sar, Patrice Evra, Vess at the back? Brown, Ferdinand and Gary? Neville, in midfield is Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Fletcher, and the trident is Rooney, Berbatov and Benzema! ”…,
Ferguson's use of the two veterans of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes has been in good shape this season, with Berbatov having a certain control advantage and a threat of dropping back to get the ball and turning the ball, and Benzema has been in excellent form of late.
'The focus in midfield is to drill quick counter-attacks, and Ryan Giggs needs to increase the threat of Rooney on the left. As a good booster, the front court focuses on the connection between Rooney and Berbatov. and Benzema's response after cutting into the box. ”
Wayne Rooney is an absolutely underrated superstar who can play in the middle. But you can also play on the wing, Ferguson's use of Rooney this season, a lot of it is on the wing, his kind of side smash breakthrough is very solid, and then the ability to pass the ball into the penalty area diagonally is also a big weapon for Manchester United's attack.
Berbatov's role is to drop back, pull out defenders, and pass effective strategic depth with the ball on his back.
Let's put it this way, in the entire offensive advance route, Ferguson's inverted second pass mainly relied on three people, Rooney, Berbatov and Scholes, who were on the pitch at the same time to make Manchester United's attack very three-dimensional, and Benzema's ability to stop the ball and calmly shoot and score, as well as his excellent explosiveness, all ensured the final score.
Don't think that Ferguson is a fool, let go of the tacit understanding of Tevez and invest heavily in Benzema, in fact, what he values is Benzema's scoring ability, which Tevez does not have, the Argentine is too stubborn.
"The point of the drill is to rush after the opening!" Ferguson's strategy and tactics are still very clear.
Against Real Madrid, it is to weaken Real Madrid's control, the more Real Madrid wants to control, the more Manchester United has to break free, and if it breaks free, it will have a chance, and being controlled is equivalent to fish on the chopping board, and let Real Madrid's butcher's knife slaughter!
When all the coaching staff looked at Ferguson, they were more or less in awe, but they could not hide their surprise, this was indeed too risky!
It must be admitted that after Ferguson introduced Benzema, he made earth-shaking changes to Manchester United's entire attacking routine, which was very successful, and the trident composed of Rooney, Berbatov and Benzema, the attack power in Europe is second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is enough to prove the strength of Manchester United.
But the question is, now facing Real Madrid, the team with the strongest attack and the strongest defense in Europe, Manchester United has suffered a loss once before, and this time it will come?
But no one dared to rebel against Ferguson's arrangement, because they were all used to obedience!
Ferguson also has his own ideas, Yang Cheng, Wenger and Mourinho and a group of old bastards always say that he is conservative, and always says that he doesn't dare to fight when he arrives in the competition, and he looks down on people so fuckingly!
"Lao Tzu will go out to fight with you this time, and catch you off guard!" Ferguson felt a little smug in his heart.
There is no unbreakable line of defense in this world, and the attack occupies the initiative, and Ferguson believes that as long as the opening attack is rushed, it can effectively break through Real Madrid's defense line and contain Real Madrid's control. Then Manchester United have a chance at the Bernabeu!
Opportunities are not given by the opponent's charity and mercy, but by oneself to fight for and take risks!
If you want to get something for nothing, if you want to get the pie that fell from the sky safely, be careful not to be stoned to death!
…………
…………
Yang Cheng really didn't know what Ferguson was thinking, and he didn't notice that Mike appeared in the stands of the Madrid derby? Phelan, 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu, crowds in the stands. It's weird that he recognizes it.
For playing Manchester United, he still said the same sentence, mainly me, but he also expected that Ferguson would definitely find a way to restrain Real Madrid, the game is like this, restraint and anti-restraint, but he doesn't know what cards Ferguson will play, so he can't say, he can only predict and rehearse some targeted things. …,
The exact situation will not be known until the game.
There was a two-day break between the matches against Manchester United and Atletico Madrid. Therefore, Yang Cheng was on the bench in the Madrid derby before and also practiced, but he did his best against Manchester United.
The goalkeeper is Casillas. The backline is Marcelo, Thiago? Silva, Ramos and McConn, Xavi in the back two? Alonso and De La Red, attacking the attacking defenders are Ronaldo, Kaka and David? Silva, the single striker is Villa.
There are no injuries, and this squad is Real Madrid's strongest attacking line-up, but this season in the forward position. Aguero and Villa are very competitive. Whoever is in good shape will be on it.
In fact, Yang Cheng also reminded the players that they must be careful of Manchester United's attack at the beginning of the game, because Ferguson has used this trick, and Yang Cheng knows very well that he must be careful to avoid some unnecessary mistakes.
But when it came to the game, the development of the situation was still beyond Yang Cheng's expectations.
After the opening. United passed the ball back and forth twice. Scholes played an overhead pass and found it in front of Berbatov, who was pulled out of the box. Bulgaria's dashing brother leaned on Thiago with his body? Silva, stopping the Brazilian centre-back's defence, chests the ball down.
Tall and long-handed, Berbatov suppressed Thiago? Silva, his brilliant technique to keep the ball firmly at his feet, turned around and passed the ball into Thiago? Silva's side.
Benzema interspersed from the side, stopped the ball and slotted into the box, Ramos hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the leak, but Benzema crossed the ball to the left side of the box, and Rooney cut in and fired a direct hard shot.
The shot was so powerful and so fast that Casillas couldn't save it and had to lift the ball over the crossbar.
The 80,000 Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were scared into a cold sweat, and it was only 36 seconds into the game, and if Manchester United scored, Real Madrid would undoubtedly be off to a terrible start.
Manchester United took a corner kick, Ferdinand and other players rushed into the penalty area, especially Ferdinand, he grabbed a point in front of the goal, slightly high, but he reacted to the referee, thinking that Ramos pulled his shirt, but the referee did not give a penalty, from the slow motion shows that Ramos did have a pulling action.
But United didn't retreat too far and gathered heavily in midfield to wait for Casillas to kick off.
Soon, the ball was regained control by United and another attack was launched, this time by Benzema who won the ball on the right and cut in and crossed, which Paul Scholes slatted in and fired just wide.
But in the 6th minute, Manchester United made a comeback again, after Giggs got the ball, he combined with Evra who was inserted behind, Rooney won the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area, and passed the ball into the penalty area. After Silva got close, the Brazilian centre-back made a cool tackle and broke the ball to Casillas.
Although Berbatov fell to the ground, the referee was aware of it and ignored the Bulgarian's move to ask for a penalty, but signaled the game to continue, but everyone could see that Manchester United's attack after the opening was very strong and resolute, which brought a lot of threat to Real Madrid.
"It seems that this old guy is really out of the box this time!" Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, turned his head sideways to look at Ferguson, and smiled slightly, the latter sat in the away team's dugout chewing gum, watching the game for a long time, obviously very satisfied with the situation.
"I was really caught off guard!" Bennett stooped his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Yang Cheng judged with them before, and they all felt that Ferguson challenged Real Madrid away, firstly, the strength was at a disadvantage, and secondly, Manchester United's control was not enough, this kind of desperate start was too risky, and Ferguson should not use it, but I didn't expect that this old guy came up directly to be a white-edged battle with bayonets. …,
That's right, the head coach is responsible for targeted tactics, but this does not mean that the head coach has the ability to predict the future, no one can clearly foresee every battle strategy of the opponent, and Ferguson is so uncharacteristically pressed out to play, and he plays so resolutely, which is indeed a bit surprising.
"Our line of defense is dangerous!" Paul? Bair reminded.
Manchester United's attacking impact is very strong, Rooney and Benzema are the kind of scorers who give a little sunshine, and Real Madrid's defense is very hard to attack.
"We can't shrink now!" Yang Cheng said, "Let De La Red and Harvey? Alonso came back a little, stood in place, straightened his back, David? Silva and Kaka also came back a bit to strangle the link between Scholes, Ryan Giggs and the players up front! ”
Yang Cheng's idea is to cut off the connection between Manchester United's midfield and the front court, causing them to be disconnected.
But people are not as good as heaven, just under Yang Cheng's order, Manchester United got an offensive opportunity on the field.
Fletcher returned to the front of his own defense, squeezing Xiao Xiao Luo with his body, and Gary? Neville combined and at the same time cut off the ball at the Portuguese's feet and passed it to Paul Scholes, who kept the ball on the way to Rooney.
Wayne Rooney won the ball and pushed forward quickly, while Dimitar Berbatov and Karim Benzema responded from the centre and on the right and soon advanced to the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area.
Seeing Berbatov suddenly slow down and raise his hand to ask, Ramos had to follow him, creating a gap in the penalty area, and Benzema threw off Thiago? Silva, cut into the box from the right.
Rooney made a diagonal pass from behind him at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball passed diagonally from behind Ramos into the Real Madrid penalty area and towards the right post, while Benzema was inserting at high speed. Silva is chasing back.
Casillas moved to the right for the first time, but it looked like there was no way to stop Benzema's close goal! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
