Chapter 552: The Mystery of the Top Powerful Team


Many fans will definitely feel puzzled and strange about a certain phenomenon.

Why do big scores often appear in games in Europe's five major leagues, and even in some strong dialogues?

Just like Manchester United beat Arsenal 8-2, Manchester City beat Manchester United 6-1, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0, and even in the Champions League, Barcelona slaughtered Leverkusen, and Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona.

War example.

Logically speaking, the strength gap between strong teams and strong teams should not be so huge.

How is this possible?

Who would have thought that the gap between Manchester United and Arsenal is eight to two?

Who would believe that Manchester United was beaten more miserably by Manchester City than lower-level teams?

Also, like Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid and Messi of Barcelona, ​​why are these two superstars able to score such an astonishing number of goals so easily?

Is it really just because the team launches offense around them?

The reason is that modern football tactics are increasingly leaning towards total attack and total defense, that is, integration.

The benefits of integration are obvious, but there are also disadvantages.

There are two sentences that can be summed up well: when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise, and when everyone talks too much, it can be summed up well.

The former talks about the benefits of integration, and the latter talks about the problem of integration.

In the same attack, if two people participate, the efficiency will definitely be higher than that of three people.

If four or five people participate, the efficiency will be even lower.

The same goes for offense and the same goes for defense.

This is one of the problems that comes with totalization.

Another point is that it is difficult to turn around the ship.

If individual combat is like a small ship, then overall combat is like a giant warship.

In terms of stability and safety, giant warships definitely have the advantage.

But if you want to temporarily adjust direction and turn around in the event of an emergency, small ships are definitely more agile and take advantage.

In other words, integration will inevitably lead to tactical flexibility and lack of adaptability.

Therefore, the first thing that modern football tactics must emphasize is efficiency and tactical flexibility.

All teams must solve these two problems if they want to become a top team.

Back to the previous question, why did Arsenal lose to Manchester United 2-8?

Because Manchester United's tactics were more precise, deadly and targeted, while Arsenal's adjustment and adaptability were too poor and they were directly disabled.

In this case, Manchester United is like a flexible hunter, and Arsenal is like a clumsy elephant, with targets everywhere and very fragile.

Similarly, when it comes to the game between Manchester United and Manchester City, the situation is reversed.

It was Manchester City who were more targeted, more precise and deadly, while United became more vulnerable.

Yes, by this point, the answer is pretty clear.

In these big-scoring games, the outcome was basically decided the moment both sides entered the stadium.

The players' on-the-spot performance and the head coach's on-the-spot command can only change the score at best.

Even if your team is filled with a group of superstars who can kill the game with their individual abilities alone, it will be difficult to change the outcome.

In this case, preparation before the game is the truly decisive factor.

In Yang Huan's understanding, the overall strength of the team is the foundation of a strong team, but how much it can perform and whether it can defeat the opponent depends on tactics.

Now and in the future, tactics will increasingly rely on big data.

By analyzing massive amounts of big data, the system can help the coaching staff optimize the team's lineup, minimize the impact of injuries and rotations on the team, and maximize the game's strength.

At the same time, we rely on massive data to conduct pre-match predictions, conduct sand table deductions based on the opponent's possible lineups and tactics, and finally formulate a set of precise and deadly targeted tactics.

In other words, the purpose of big data analysis is to ensure that during the long season, no matter what kind of opponent it encounters, the team can stably and controllably display its own strength, suppress the opponent's tactics, and then Steady wins and points.

Because of this, players like Toni Kroos and Matic who can perform steadily for a long time and provide the team with stable data are crucial.

Of course, big data analysis systems are not omnipotent.

When it comes to people, there are bound to be variables.

But with this analysis system, Southampton can face any opponent and any complex schedule with ease.

It can be said that after nearly three years of research and development and preparation, the analysis system has finally achieved fruitful results and has also brought huge help to the team.

Therefore, at this time, the issues that Yang Huan was thinking about had to go one step further.

"Old Bei, I've always had a question."

The two were still walking side by side on the cobblestone path.

After hearing what Master Huan said, Bielsa just nodded slightly and said nothing, but the meaning was already obvious.

"How do you think Southampton can be built into a top team like Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich?"

Yang Huan asked seriously.

He has talked with Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and Sun Yue.

With Southampton's current operational capabilities, as long as they can reach the peak on the football field, they can operate Southampton and take a step closer to the top club. .

Bielsa also realizes the importance of Master Huan's issue.

Indeed, Southampton is no longer the League One team it was two years ago.

The Saints currently rank second in the Premier League standings and even hope to compete for the league championship.

They also have one of the best lineups in the Premier League.

Naturally, the issues they are thinking about can no longer be limited to the domestic arena.

It should be the Champions League With Yang Huan's ambitious character, he definitely wants to make a difference in the Champions League.

Then, we have to figure out how to build a top wealthy team After several minutes of silence, Bielsa spoke calmly.

"Many people think that the integration of football tactics started when Greece won the European Cup in 2004.

In fact, this is not the case."

"No" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Bielsa shook his head, "That is an illusion of ordinary people.

In the industry, many people have already begun research and discussion on integrated football.

Manchester United's Triple Crown in 1999 looks very dangerous and involves luck.

It was very big, but the outstanding performance in the years that followed caused a lot of people to think about it.”

"Also, Real Madrid won the Champions League twice in 1998 and 2000, and the subsequent decline of the Galacticos era also made many people in the industry seriously think about integrated football.

As for Real Madrid in 2002 Winning the Champions League again, in the eyes of many people, is more like a product of special circumstances.”

Yang Huan also let Bielsa's words lead his thoughts and nodded lightly.

Manchester United sent away Cantona and immediately ushered in the peak of 1999.

However, after sending away Stam and introducing superstar Veron, the Red Devils dynasty suddenly collapsed.

Is this just a coincidence?

If Manchester United is a coincidence, then after Guardiola sent away superstars Ronaldinho and Deco, he ushered in the best Grand Slam dynasty in history; Inter Milan sent away Ibrahimovic Later, Mourinho ushered in the Triple Crown.

Is this also a coincidence?

"Many people admire Manchester United's Class 92, especially the golden four midfielders."

The so-called golden midfield four is Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham.

This is considered by many people in the football industry to be the most perfect midfield combination in football history.

"Theoretically speaking, Bayern Munich was undoubtedly the most powerful in 1999 and 2000.

That was when Hitzfeld's Bayern team was at its peak, but they only won the championship in 2001.

In the Champions League, we lost to Manchester United in the final in 1999, and lost to Del Bosque’s Real Madrid in the semi-finals in 2000.”

"Many people will feel regretful and think that Bayern Munich lost to luck, but from a certain perspective, luck is only part of it.

More importantly, Bayern Munich solved a problem that had not been achieved in the previous two seasons very well in 2000. problems that can be solved.”

When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bielsa.

"That is to break the intensive defense" Suddenly, Yang Huan seemed to understand something, but he failed to grasp the key point.

"It was precisely because they solved the problem of breaking through intensive defense that Bayern Munich reached the 2001 Champions League knockout round, beating their rivals Manchester United and Real Madrid in a row, reaching the Champions League final, and eventually winning the championship."

"The reason why the 2004 European Cup created the miracle of Greece winning the championship is also because all the strong European teams at that time failed to find an effective way to break through the intensive defense brought about by integrated football."

"In the same way, in the two years at the beginning of the century, Valencia, the La Liga bat team, led by Argentine coach Cooper, reached the Champions League finals consecutively, relying on integrated and intensive defense.

From 2002 to 2003, Juventus Tuscany and AC Milan also relied on intensive defense to reach the Champions League final.

The same was true when Porto and Monaco reached the final in the 2003-04 season.”

"There was a very interesting situation in European football in those years."

"Those quasi-first-rate teams, or even second-rate teams, relied on excellent overall tactics and unbreakable intensive defense to rise strongly and sweep the entire Europa League.

However, those traditional powerful teams are generally looking for a way.

An effective way to break through dense defenses.”

"From AC Milan to the Barcelona Dream Team, and then to Manchester United's run-and-gun trident, they are all looking for it.

Although they have occasionally succeeded, they have never been able to find a long-term effective way to break the dense defense."

"Although I have been in South America during that time, European professional football has always led the way in tactical changes, so I have been thinking about and paying attention to this issue, and I have even made attempts again and again, either successfully or failed. ”

"Before Guardiola coached Barcelona, ​​I told him that if you want to break the integrated intensive defense, you must seize the two major disadvantages of integration, efficiency and tactical flexibility.

If you want to take advantage of these two major loopholes, just You have to be faster and more efficient than the defender."

"If high-position pressing naturally solves the problem of total offense and defense and ensures that the team regains the ball in the shortest time, then the question before all teams is how to win the ball in the shortest time and with the greatest possible efficiency.

An effective way to complete the transition between offense and defense, create time differences, catch the defender off guard, and expose the shortcomings of integrated defense."

When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but feel that his eyes lit up and all the problems suddenly became clear.

This is the essence of a top team "Guardiola is a very smart and thoughtful person.

Based on what I said and combined with Barcelona's traditional characteristics, he created a unique ball control system, which is a good solution to breaking dense defenses. " "But Mourinho is also smart.

The Portuguese may not be good at innovation, but he is very good at targeting, so his Inter Milan relied on a more intensive overall defense and more efficient counterattack efficiency to defeat a A rival and won the Triple Crown."

"But Mourinho's set of tactics is unsustainable.

Even if Inter Milan's overall strength remains at its peak, if Mourinho is given another year, by 2011, the Portuguese Inter Milan will not be possible. success."

"The bottom line is that all strong teams must have the ability to break through dense defenses, and the stronger this ability is, the better the team will be and the more competitive it will be."

"For a team that does not have the ability to break through intensive defense, even if it succeeds occasionally, it will be just a flash in the pan and unsustainable.

Because today you presented yourself as a weak team, so you can succeed by defensive counterattack, but once you succeed, then It’s someone else’s turn to counterattack you.”

“In this case, without the ability to break through dense defense, you can still play well and continue to succeed”:
