The frenetic atmosphere at Sun Magic Stadium burned the sanity of the spectators, who were so enthusiastic that they were enjoying today's Super Bowl.

Aldridge looked down on the field with a glass of wine, surrounded by a crowd of players, some of whom knew the rules of rugby, some of whom did not, and it didn't matter, rugby is not a difficult sport to understand.

Especially the rhythm of the game in the offensive and defensive segments, the two teams against each other will be divided into offensive group and defensive group, who attacks and who defends, it is clear at a glance.

As long as you watch the game for five minutes, you will know that the side that dominates the offense will be the core of the team, the quarterback, who plans the offense after kickoff.

The Dallas Cowboys' Aikman, the Pittsburgh Steelers' O'Donnell, and two super quarterbacks dominate their respective teams' offense.

When Aikman completed an accurate long pass to help the team advance the offensive yardage, Aldridge turned to Pirlo and smiled: "The quarterback is very demanding on the court, passing is one of the basic qualities, long and short passes, all must be extremely accurate, and at the same time, you need to read the situation on the court between the lightning and flint, pass the ball to safety, and sometimes take a risk, but the risk will be great, success, maybe help teammates TD directly, failure, interception by the opponent, it will be a devastating blow." ”

Pirlo looked very seriously, and with his football wisdom, he understood that Aldridge's words were also applied to the football field.

The quarterback is not a running back at the forefront, but he is definitely the soul of the team, and he belongs to the kind of handsome talent who strategizes and decides thousands of miles.

But the modern age of football is still the age of the midfielder, and Pirlo asked: "Is the quarterback a number ten on the football field?" ”

Aldridge shook his head and said: "The number ten player is the core of the team, he can pass and shoot, which is extremely demanding of the players, Andrea, I want to discuss with you and your teammates the trend of football tactics, which is very important for your future development, because when you are at the peak of your career, you will be in the process of changing the trend of football tactics, of course, I dare not judge that there will be changes in football tactics in the next ten or twenty years, but some changes will definitely occur." ”

The players were a little more serious and discussing tactics with the manager, which is not a job requirement, but it definitely helps them to grow and understand the role Aldridge has placed on the pitch.

Aldridge said thoughtfully: "We can first review the tactical evolution of football, 127, 235, WM, 424, 442, 343, 433, 451, etc., there is a clear trend, the formation structure is becoming more and more reasonable, while the number of strikers is decreasing, the number of midfielders is increasing, what is this for? In addition to the influence of the rules, the most important thing is tactical innovation, Arsenal's WM in the 30s, Italy's chain defense in the 60s, the Netherlands's all-attack and defense in the 70s, etc., to this day, it is almost difficult to have a tactical revolution, because the world is entering the era of synchronization, that is to say, the most popular tactics will be studied and imitated by everyone, it is difficult for anyone to be able to innovate, and like some countries that are derailed from the world, they will be tactically shocking, For example, North Korea will put on a strange formation of 3331, but thinking about it the other way, it is precisely because they refuse to synchronize with the world that they can have such an alternative innovation, albeit a failure. ”

The players listened intently to Aldridge's speech as if they were fascinated, and as footballers, they naturally liked to listen to new ideas that seemed to be fantastical but not nonsense.

"442 is considered to be the formation pioneered by England, and it is still used today, but at that time, in fact, Maslov in Dynamo Kiev had already changed the formation of 442, and was strongly questioned at the time, his 442 was similar to the 442 that England won in the World Cup, but there was no mutual inheritance, and Maslov defended himself by saying: Football is like an airplane, and increased speed means increased air resistance, so you have to make the nose more streamlined. If you don't think about it, it doesn't feel like it makes any sense, but what he wants to say, I think, is this: as the players get faster and faster, it becomes more difficult to find space, so the attacking players have to hide deeper so that they are not easy to be guarded by the opponent. ”

Aldridge's words made these real kickers nod their heads frequently.

Even the top strikers will always be stared at and there will be games without bright spots, so there are two things to do in the attack, one is to find defensive flaws, and the other is to hide the offensive point.

Pirlo seemed to think of something, saying: "The striker retreats. ”

Aldridge snapped his fingers and nodded: "The striker's retreat, or the diversification of the striker's role ability, when a striker has the ability to organize, his retreat strategy or organization will disrupt the opponent's marking strategy, making his own attack flexible, a bit like what we call a nine-and-a-half player now, but this kind of player has too high requirements for skills, maybe it will take five years for football to appear a top figure in this position, and now, the player who performs best in this position is Baggio, He can retreat to the organization, often give assists, and score goals, but not every player who wants to play this position can do his level, which is also a limitation of ability, there are many strikers who can assist, and there are many strikers who can score, but it is too difficult to combine the two and reach a balance point that sublimates the team. ”

As he spoke, Aldrich glanced meaningfully at Nedved.

A player in that position has to be able to pass and shoot, and Nedved fits those characteristics, and Aldridge wants him to be that kind of player.

Pirlo, on the other hand, was a little gloomy, he knew his own characteristics, and dribbling was not his forte at all.

"Remember the two games we played against Manchester United this season?"

Aldrich asked, taking a sip of wine.

The players nodded, and the players who played last game are simply fresh in their minds.

Aldridge laughed: "When the game reaches a certain level, the offensive and defensive pairs are very miserable, we are staring at their forwards, they are staring at our forwards, and even all the offensive players in the front court have no room to attack, and who is the player who changes the situation of the game?" It's the player who breaks through the penalty area with the ball, the player who suddenly assists the full-back to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's defense, the striker who retreats and throws a cold arrow, etc., rather than slowly and methodically completing the attack in a textbook position with the same number of people. We've been doing well and scoring a lot of goals, but do you understand the environment in which we scored goals? ”

Ballack blurted out: "Rapid advance after defense. ”

The rest of the team-mates nodded in agreement, and the tactical concepts they had been instilled in training were perfectly executed on the pitch, which gave them an excellent palmares for their youth team.

Aldridge nodded and said: "That's right, the tactical trend of football is based on defense, and when the opponent sets up a defensive formation, we will attack again, which is very difficult, in the same way, we put a good defense and wait for the opponent to attack, which will also create a lot of resistance to the opponent, so our offense is often based on the failure of the opponent's attack, and it is in the case that the opponent has not laid out a defensive formation at the end of the attack. The big reason to play the speed advantage is to destroy the opponent before they can defend. ”

The players listened attentively, and many of them probably only understood some of the essence of their current style of football under Aldridge's detailed explanations.

Football is a competitive sport where you attack me, I attack you, back and forth, different from the rhythm of rugby after the offense, the offensive group goes off the field, and the defensive group comes up to defend, the fluidity of the football game is difficult to delineate the stage with a minute and a second, and with the acceleration of the rhythm, the characteristics of the players are more and more comprehensive, and the rapid counterattack is the foundation of the top teams.

"If you've ever watched Pep Guardiola play, you've probably felt the same way I do: Barcelona seem to be missing a person. Yes, he is actually very inconspicuous, honestly staying at the back to do dirty work, taking the ball and then honestly passing it to his teammates, only in some of the best videos that have been sorted out can we see his ability to pass the ball and draw salary on the counter-attack. But in the 90 minutes of the game, in the 42 rounds of La Liga, there are not many highlights of him, there is a sentence I hope you don't spread the word, so as not to be misunderstood by the media and cause a storm, I think Guardiola is a disciple of Cruyff who failed to train successfully. ”

In this era, despite the title of dream on his head, Guardiola is not too impressive for the achievements and influence of his contemporaries.

The players stared at Aldridge quizzically, waiting for his explanation.

"I don't know if Cruyff's idea of creating a number four is similar to that of a quarterback on a football field, but at least Pep Guardiola's role doesn't quite replicate the role of a football quarterback. He is the main player in the defense, and the main player in the offensive backfield planning organization, both tasks are on his shoulders, he can do this achievement today, I think it is already remarkable, but with the pace of the football game increasing and the confrontation is becoming more and more intense, no player can be the top at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, simply put, the players will be more and more comprehensive, but the energy in the game must be primary and secondary, the main focus is on defense, then, it will definitely sacrifice the offense, and vice versa, and football is a team sport, I think the two tasks of defending and organising the attack can be separated and let the two players play to their strengths in midfield. ”

Aldridge has always believed that it is precisely because Guardiola's playing days were not particularly successful, at least he is definitely not considered a world-class player, which made him perfect and sublimate Cruyff's tactical thinking after serving as a coach, and he solved the contradictions that appeared in himself, so his dream three dynasties, Buzques was defensive, Xavi controlled the organization, and Iniesta focused on attacking and responding, creating a terrifying Barcelona with a balance of attack and defense.

And this tactic, to a large extent, is also used by many strong teams, the separation of defense and organizational tasks, learn from each other's strengths, maximize the advantages, and let the teammates who are better at it make up for their shortcomings, the highest level of team football is like this, not necessarily have to go smoothly, but in the process of making up for each other between teammates to play 1 + 1 greater than 2 energy.

Pirlo's eyes lit up and he asked, "Boss, what kind of organizational mission will be in the middle and backfield?" ”

Aldrich laughed: "Didn't you say it before? The speed of the players is getting faster and faster, the offensive point must be hidden deeper, the competition between the top teams, the closer to the opponent's penalty area, the less space for organization, and more forwards in front, will only be stare to death by the opponent, the back insertion of the offensive player will become the mainstream of the attack, which will make the organization area move backwards, the initiation point of a wave of deadly offences, even starting from the goalkeeper and defender, and the transition of the midfield and the choice of the forward attack point will become the key point to determine the victory. ”

It was only at this point that Pirlo had an epiphany, and he began to understand how Aldridge and Najib's demands on him in training would work in practice.

But whether it will succeed or not, he doesn't know, but it's worth trying.
