Chapter 898 Schalke Without Ai Fan ([-])

Ai Huan answered Uribe's question after finishing his thoughts, "If I was in command, then I would strengthen the defense first, but if I was on the field, then I would strengthen the offense without hesitation. Now In this situation, if you don’t attack, you can only die, and it’s better to fight desperately than to die aggrieved.”

Uribe laughed loudly, "By the way, this time you finally see the crux of the problem."

The game is still going on on the court, so everyone didn't speak for the time being, so they turned their attention to the court.

Bayern still had the upper hand. In the 309th minute, Robben sent a wonderful pass from the right. Franck Ribery cut into the penalty area and hit the goal. The ball was blocked out of the baseline by Cristiano. Bayern got a corner kick.

Ribery took a low corner kick, Robben passed the ball to Ribery, the latter took the ball from the left, Boateng headed back and retreated, Muller stabbed the ball in the small penalty area, and the ball was passed by Hill again. De Blaine miraculously saved it with his left hand, and Budstuber's supplementary shot in front of the goal failed to block the ball. Bayern missed the opportunity again.

It was not until the No.404 minute that Schalke finally found a chance. Mata took it into the penalty area and then returned. Fuchs followed up with a left-footed heavy bombardment.

After 1 minute, Lahm broke through with the ball and hit the goal with his right foot after entering the penalty area. The ball was blocked by the defender, and Hildebrando came out again. Then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game, and the first half of the game was finally over.

"I don't quite understand. What exactly does this mean? Ai Huan's answer is obviously contradictory." Zhang Lindong, who had been full of doubts until this time, immediately asked the question, which of course was translated by Xu Luyang.

Uribe continued to smile. It was obvious that he liked his players to ask questions, so he happily replied, "Because Ai Huan is not a coach, the answers he gave are contradictory, which is very normal. He then used two Thinking from this aspect, in fact, he is often placed in such a position in Schalke, so we often see Ai Huan suddenly strengthen the attack or suddenly retreat to the defense line, and this is the current Schalke gram's biggest problem."

After he said these words, seeing that even Ai Huan didn't understand, he explained patiently, "If I were sitting in the coach's position, I wouldn't have used such a formation at the beginning of the game. What is that? There is no problem with Joaquin and Mata being in charge of offense, but Fuchs and Gundogan are in charge of defense, but they are full of strange feelings. Their characteristics are too similar, which makes them unable to provide effective complementarity for each other, so this The formation was already a failure when it was taken out. The offense is to attack across the board, and the defense is to defend well. Does this kind of formation that wants to take care of both ends make sense? The answer is of course no, so they are not as good as Bayern at all. That’s what Ai Huan said, there is no fulcrum on the field.”

"Then how will you arrange it?"

"I will attack with all my strength. Defense is meaningless. After all, the opponent is Bayern. Can I defend it?" Uribe smiled, but there was a determination in his eyes. "Actually, when I asked you this question I don't want to get a coaching answer from you. Anyone with a little knowledge of football can see that Schalke has lost the midfielder. What I really want is your real answer , That is to say, the all-out attack you mentioned just now, yes, it is an all-out attack. I watched all your games in Schalke, and I found that Magath's level is really average. There is still a lack of inspiration on the front line, and there is a huge mistake in using it on you and Joaquin."

"A mistake? Why a mistake? Ai Huan has now become the best free agent in Germany, and is considered by many to be the Beckenbauer of modern football." This time it was Xu Luyang who spoke.

Unexpectedly, Uribe snorted, "What Beckenbauer, this is nonsense in itself. What was football like back then? What is it like now? Today's football has already completed the change of total defense , that is to say, every player on the field can be the organizer or the initiator of the offense when attacking, so how can we talk about free agents now? So when this concept is brought out, it is a joke in itself. Even I Everyone thinks that Magath is using our national team's tactics, but he doesn't understand why I use this kind of tactics in the national team." Speaking of this, Uribe showed a proud smile.

Ai Huan, who had been listening all the time, seemed to have caught something, and he nodded suddenly, "It's not unreasonable to say that, but the rapid midfield style of play is indeed Magath's proud work."

"What a fast midfielder, it's just because your speed is too fast, which improves Schalke as a whole. If I were coaching Schalke, then I dare say that I would improve the speed of this midfielder by a bit." Times. This is the next question I want to talk about, the use of Joaquin. This player is actually more suitable as a midfield organizer than Mata. Although his skills are not as good as Mata, but The overall situation is much better than Mata. Why does Mata always seem uncomfortable every time he is the core? It is because he is a winger at all, and he does not have the ability to be the core of the midfield. I am in China I've heard a story called "Buy the box for the pearl, and now Magath is like this. He thought Joaquin was just an extra, so he pushed him on the bench, but he didn't know what a big mistake he made. .”

"I still don't understand your words, but I already understand your theory. But Joaquin is only a good winger at his best, and he didn't show better when he was training with the team. Looking at the overall situation, Fuchs is still good." Ai Huan also expressed his own point of view.

"Fuchs is good, but he also lacks something, just because when Mata was the core of the midfield, there was actually no core of the midfield, so he looked very good, and now he plays a player who is not himself. familiar position, so he didn’t even have that bit of performance.” Uribe took a sip of water while speaking, and continued, “And Joaquin’s experience will make up for his own lack of ability. This is the biggest weakness of old players. benefits, which Magath obviously didn't think about."

"Really? Why do I feel like you are talking big?" Ai Huan suddenly laughed, as if it was the first time he had seen Uribe behave like this.
