The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 482 One pass and one shot

Sacchi once said that a really strong team can be the best and the top no matter whether it is attacking or defending.

When Manchester United wants to defend, especially when Ferguson is determined to play defensive counterattack, it is definitely not an easy task to break through Manchester United's goal. It will be one of all offensive teams in the world. Big problem, especially when Ferguson pulled Park Ji-sung back from the right to help Gary Neville, the right was temporarily consolidated.

But in this way, the team's offense is sacrificed.

Perhaps because Manchester United did not invest a lot of troops in the frontcourt, Tottenham Hotspur's defense line was pressed very high, actively exerting the team's possession and midfield advantages, especially the midfield, directly suppressing Manchester United's defense. In midfield, it is difficult for Manchester United to play the ball through the middle.

Facts have proved that if Yaya Toureken settles down to play the midfielder, he will be a top midfielder.

Ye Qiu has always felt that Mascherano is strictly a positioning midfielder. His sense of position is quite good, and his stealing and interception ability is also one of the best in the world, but his coverage is not very large. Yaya Toure is He belongs to the kind of covering midfielder. He has excellent covering ability, wide range of activities, excellent sticking skills, good stealing and interception ability, but poor positional sense.

From a professional point of view, it is difficult to distinguish which midfielder is better, as if you have no way to say whether Makelele or Gattuso must be better than the other, because that is too absolute, too idealistic.

If Makelele is switched to AC Milan's set of tactics, he will definitely die, because he can't play Gattuso's position; and if Gattuso is switched to Chelsea, he is another Essien, and he can't afford Mark Lai Lai's responsibilities, but both players are indispensable in their respective teams.

In Ye Qiu's coaching system, Cruyff analyzed the changes in Barcelona in the years before and after 2010. He once gave such a set of data, that is, during the period of Barcelona's Triple Crown in 09, the team's ball possession was regarded as The most reasonable, because it has always been maintained at around 60%. Considering Barcelona's defense at the time, such possession is very reasonable.

But later, Barcelona's ball control gradually became a little crazy, even to the extreme, and often produced a series of surprisingly high statistics, but quite a few of them were backcourt. Why?

The reason lies in the difference between Yaya Toure and Busquets.

Yaya Toure is a coverage type with a wide range of running. Because he runs behind him, Iniesta and Harvey can be positioned more forward. The position of the players depends on the coverage of the team's overall tactics. With Yaya Toure covering such a large area behind him, the central midfielder is naturally forward, so the style of play is more direct and more threatening.

But when it comes to Busquets, the problem is different, because Busquets is a positioning type. His overall view, passing ability, ability to read the game and ability to sort out the ball are all very good. Ya Ya Toure is not as good as him, but he can't cover such a large area like Yaya Toure.

what to do?How to solve the gap in coverage between Yaya Touré and Busquets?

It's very simple, use teammates to fill in, so Iniesta and Harvey have to come back!

And when the two central midfielders both come back, the overall ball possession area must also be adjusted. Either the defense line is pushed forward, or the overall formation is retracted, and everyone knows that whether it is the defense line. The formation is retracted, and it takes more time to attack.

Therefore, what many people said, Barcelona can't play fast break, it's not that they can't play, but they can't play!
To put it bluntly, the style and tactics of a team are inseparable from the players, especially the central players. As long as there is a slight change, it may lead to a change in the overall situation.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether Barcelona was better during the Triple Crown period or the later ball-handling style Barcelona is better. This is completely incomparable, but when it comes to using Yaya Toure, we must give full play to his coverage. The advantages.

And this Ivorian also needs to be beaten, that is, his grasp of the timing of going forward and his awareness when defending.

Using the agreement Ye Qiu made with Yaya Toure during the previous training camp, "I don't care where you go throughout the game, but I must be there when the opponent's ball is about to pass through our midfield. , seeing you standing in front of the defense line, even if you die, you have to put the body there for me!"

This kid admires Ye Qiu very much, because he has been working under Ye Qiu's command for a long time, and he has made great progress in the past few years, but he has never been able to settle down as a midfielder. Now Ye Qiu decided to liberate him and give him freedom, but at the same time He regulated his responsibilities in defense, and his attitude was very clear. My defensive requirements are like that. You have the ability to do it. You can attack as you want, and I don't care about you.

But if you fail to meet my defensive requirements and lose the ball, it is your responsibility!
So, when the game came to the second half, once Tottenham Hotspur scored in the frontcourt, Yaya Toure followed, but soon, the ball was broken and Scholes scored a quick kick. The ball was given to Carlos Tevez in front of him and he played a fast break. Yaya Toure knew it was bad because he was not in position.

Carlos Tevez is very strong, but his feet are not bad. When he gets the ball, there is only Ziglinski in front of him. Thiago Silva is still a little far away from them. As long as he breaks through Ziglinski, he will be able to Entered the restricted area.

The Argentine beast is also an old fritter on the court. He jumped up as soon as he saw the opportunity and wanted to pass Ziglinski directly, but the Ukrainian immediately realized that he was fighting alone. If Tevez was allowed to pass, Argentina People can directly enter the penalty area, which is the worst result, so he made a choice in the shortest time.

I saw that Ziglinski deliberately gave way, blocking the possibility of Tevez breaking through from his right side with his body, forcing Tevez to dunk the ball to the left, and then turned around and continued to chase.

Ziglinski's figure is relatively tall, but his speed is not too slow, especially when he is chasing back, his speed is not slow. His slowness is mainly reflected in his lack of flexibility in turning around. This is a tall central defender There is a disadvantage in both, but it is not as difficult to turn around as Vidic.

With Ziglinski chasing him, Tevez was desperately trying to put distance, because anyone who has played football knows that if you can't distance yourself from the defender, you're forced to keep throwing the ball Go forward, he can't break your ball, but you don't expect to cut to the middle, so Tevez is in this situation now.

Ziglinski's choice can't be said to be very smart, because it is the wisest choice that all defenders know, but at the critical moment just now, not all defenders were able to make the wisest judgment at the critical moment.

Forced Tevez to his left side, Ziglinski chased desperately, followed by Arbeloa, so Tevez was forced to take the ball to the corner by the two at right angles , In the end, he was forced to have no other choice, and kicked the ball directly to Ziglinski's feet, which went out of the sideline and became a penalty.

This is not a very good defense, but it reflects Ziglinski's stability. Among countless choices, choose the safest and most sure one. This is the quality that an excellent central defender must possess.

Kompany's biggest problem is that many of the choices he makes are not the best, or even the worst.

Of course, this ability will gradually be improved and improved with the accumulation of competitions and enrichment of experience.

After falling behind for most of the time, Manchester United's offensive investment was not small this time. Park Ji-sung and Gary Neville also came up. After Manchester United threw a throw-in, it formed a kick on the left side of Tottenham Hotspur The ball was passed, but Thiago Silva made a steady grab, cleared the ball with a header, and knocked the ball into the middle.

Yaya Toure ferried to the front again, but Fabregas got the ball with his back and had no chance. He passed it back to Ziglinski who rushed out of the penalty area to meet him. After the Ukrainian got the ball, he kicked it directly A long diagonal pass close to the ground quickly crossed the center line and landed at the feet of Gareth Bale on the left.

The Welshman once again took the ball close to the sideline, and stopped the pass directly in front of him, and deliberately stopped it very large, because in the past few 10 minutes of the contest, he has clearly felt that Gary ? Neville's disadvantage in terms of speed, and his current physical consumption is very serious.

The reason why he made a big stop was because he had absolute confidence in his own speed, so after a stop, he started immediately, and his speed was very fast, and he even directly passed Gary Neville, and he was almost on the same level as the penalty area line. After receiving the ball, Fang took advantage of the situation and cut to the penalty area at a 45-degree line.

During the whole process, Gary Neville was directly overtaken by Gareth Bell, and then blocked by him, unable to do anything at all. On the left side of the penalty area, Ferdinand wanted to block Gareth Bell from entering the penalty area Van Persie was ambushing in the middle of the restricted area line, while Cavani quickly cut to the back point from the right.

Gareth Bale picked up the pass before Ferdinand. Cavani, ahead of Vidic, met the ball and stabbed it. The goal guarded by Sa, 2:0!

This loyal fan of Ruud van Nistelrooy calmly grasped the scoring opportunity in front of the goal. At first glance, he really had the aura of the king of the small penalty area of ​​Ruud van Nistelrooy.

All Tottenham Hotspur fans rushed out of their seats once again, and once again let out heart-piercing shouts, and in this burst of thunderous shouts, all Tottenham Hotspur players Hugging and celebrating on the field.

"Tottenham Hotspur did show a very strong offensive power in the game, but more importantly, it suppressed Manchester United in the middle. This suppression forced Manchester United to be unable to pass through the midfield effectively and relieve Manchester United's offensive pressure. At the same time, I also won more opportunities and space for my own counterattack!"

"Gareth Bale, he performed very well in this game, especially facing Gary Neville on the left. He completely turned Manchester United's captain into a colander and turned Manchester United's right into a sieve!"

The on-site commentator was also full of sighs, "Strictly speaking, his technique is not delicate, it can only be said to be simple and practical, the basic skills are very solid, without the slightest tricks, but it gives you a very simple, but you can't prevent it at all. The unstoppable feeling is also due to his youth and his amazing explosive power."

"Actually, in the past two years, Gareth Bale's performance in Tottenham Hotspur has been very good. Many people also think that his speed is very good. He has played as a left back and a left winger, but More came off the bench for Franck Ribery and Vargas, but this game he started, we did see another rising star in the Tottenham Hotspur team, and he is very similar to Ribery. Berry plays completely differently."

"If Franck Ribery is good at short-distance breakthroughs and changing speeds and directions, then Gareth Bale's breakthroughs are very direct. It depends on my speed. I don't have so many tricks. I just use a weapon. The speed directly rushes away from you!"

"Of course, this game also has something to do with Gary Neville's poor performance. The captain of Manchester United has been recuperating from his injury before. After his comeback, his performance was not very satisfactory. This game can hardly contain Gareth Bale. .”

While talking, I saw that Ferguson made the first substitution of the game, replacing Gary Neville with Wes Brown, and the former had already established himself last season. They performed very well in the game.

"Switching Wes Brown should be relatively better, but Manchester United still have to be careful about Gareth Bale's left."

Not long after the commentator's voice fell, Tottenham Hotspur saw another attack from this field.

When Manchester United scored in the 30-meter zone of Tottenham Hotspur, the ball was taken by Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure, who almost made a mistake just now, is now guarding the defense very carefully. Immediately kicked to the left, to Gareth Bale.

Gareth Bale's sprint needs space, so he drops back a bit deep, Wes Brown can't follow him, and he gets the ball, turns around quickly, starts up, and then it's like a plane that's about to leave the ground Fighter, faster and faster.

Wes Brown and O'Shea wanted to form a flank near the center line, but when Gareth Bell entered the two-man defense zone, he suddenly kicked the ball forward with a big kick, and then the whole person quickly walked away from them. He rushed over in the middle, and directly broke up the double-teaming of the two people.

This breakthrough method is simply simple, rough, and even a little humiliating, so that Wes Brown and O'Shea can only keep chasing behind, while Ferdinand quickly rushes to fill the loophole.

Manchester United Vidic and Fletcher are guarding against Van Persie, Ferdinand and O'Shea are running close to Gareth Bale, the Welshman is getting faster and faster, especially when he rushes to the front of the penalty area At that time, Ferdinand obviously couldn't stop him, and watched him rush into the penalty area.

Ferdinand was forced to make a shoveling action, trying to use this action to prevent Gareth Bale from kicking, but the Welshman obviously ignored the other, and directly swung his left foot, which happened to be on the same level as the penalty spot. , The position is very good, especially for left-footed players, it is directly a strong volley.

Van der Sar didn't even have time to react, the ball passed by him like a bolt of lightning, and went straight to the bottom right corner of the net, without the slightest trick, without the slightest arc, it was very simple, but But also very rough, very terrible!

The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands danced with excitement again. Almost all of them frantically raised their Tottenham Hotspur scarves, waved their hands happily, and shouted Gareth Bale's name.

In this game, Gareth Bale's left wing can almost be said to be the source of Tottenham Hotspur's offense, and he also passed and shot in the game, and he also had an indirect assist. Not outstanding, and Manchester United's defense is almost powerless against him, being broken by him time and time again, being teased by him!
"Gareth Bale, the rising star of Tottenham Hotspur, is only 19 years old this year, but his playing style reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United today. The kicks are full of power, full of explosive sensory stimulation, which amazes and amazes us!"

"It's really unbelievable, when we were all worried about whether Tottenham's attack would be affected after sending away Arshavin, Modric and Vargas. Qiu's team has won seven consecutive warm-up matches, and played an amazing offensive strength in this Community Shield Cup!"

"The offense of Tottenham Hotspur in this game is very different from the past. In the past, Tottenham Hotspur paid great attention to delicate teamwork after they came to the frontcourt, but without Ribery, Without Messi, although Van Persie is still in the center to support, Gareth Bale and Cavani on the two wings are obviously more impactful."

"This style of play has changed Tottenham's offense, becoming more direct and powerful. This is completely different from the gorgeous ground penetration in the past, and it also allows us to easily feel Tottenham's attack. Potential, because they can play two different offensive combinations!"

The on-site commentator was obviously very surprised by Tottenham Hotspur's tactics in this game, but he also realized a problem.

"But we also noticed that while Gareth Bale was doing well, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas, and even Van Persie, they seemed to be slipping, especially Van Persie and Fabre. Gass, none of them were as brilliant as last season, which may have something to do with them having just gone through training camp and not being in a good state."

"David Silva's debut can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but the debut of another player, Ziglinski, is impressive, and Yaya Toure, who plays as a midfielder, although there have been a few times Mistakes, one of which led to United almost getting into the penalty area, but overall, Yaya Toure is really capable of filling the void left by Mascherano!"

After Tottenham Hotspur scored the third goal, Manchester United made adjustments again, and Ye Qiu also quickly made targeted changes, replacing Kyle Walker, Ramsey and Ah Ashley Young, and Ashley Young is another type of winger, which also has to make people feel Tottenham Hotspur's personnel reserves on the wing.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur defeated the poor Manchester United 3-0 at Wembley Stadium and got a good start to the season!
