Chapter 345 See Through 1
In the history of football in the mid-20th century, the positioning of players' positions was very strict. At that time, the striker was the striker, the winger was the winger, and the defender was also the defender. Such positioning caused a team to be very old-fashioned. When playing on the court, the position was very strong. There are rarely contradictions of position conflicts.
But such an old-fashioned position, the defect is too obvious, that is, the team's tactical system is more old-fashioned, the team's cooperation has fewer sports tactics, the role of the head coach is the most weakened, and the role of the star is very prominent.
The important thing is that it is easy for the other party to do targeted defense, such as horizontal area defense.
This defensive method is to carry out traditional area defense in a horizontal range, using the advantage of his own number of people. A player is responsible for a position, covering a horizontal area, ensuring that the opposing player is the maximum limit in this area.
The horizontal area defense is highly targeted.
In the middle of the twentieth century, because the tactical positioning is very old-fashioned, and the position of midfielders is also old-fashioned. They are more likely not to go forward. Four or five midfielders often pile up in an area. If you use horizontal area defense to limit this area, it often means that they can cut off the opponent. No matter how capable the front-court players are, the performance of the team without midfield support can be imagined.
The old-fashioned Englishman likes this defensive tactic, and they will work well on their own people.
Just because in that era, England always felt that its country was the birthplace of football, and the level of football must be very strong. They always tried to formulate new tactics. That kind of old-fashioned thinking made them unable to keep up with the development of the times, so in order to restrain their tactics, the long pass of the 'national style' Now: Aren't you limiting my midfield? Then we give up passing and citing the ball and drive directly to the goal. Isn't this the simplest way to counterattack?
When the long pass became the 'endorse' of English football, the horizontal area defense was quickly eliminated.
These are just the development and changes of football in that era. In fact, the development of football to the present stage, whether it is the tactical system, various playing methods, player positioning, and the pioneering thinking of coaches have made great progress. On the football field, it is rare to see that the team's formation will be fixed, and often when a team is positive. When attacking, there is no formation at all. It can cooperate with the tacit understanding and completely rely on the free play of the players on the field. In this way, the increase in the number of passes and receiving the ball means more changes. If the other side wants to defend with old-fashioned defensive tactics, it is not worth the gains.
And now, there is no standard for positioning.
For example, there used to be a difference between 'frontier' and 'frontier' positions, but now both can be called 'frontier' or 'frontier' with a larger range, because the player who plays in this position has far exceeded the range of activities than 'frontier' or
The concept of 'Border Guard'. More than that, the positioning of other positions has also expanded a lot, such as 'front waist', 'middle', 'shadow striker' and so on. These are actually inherited positioning. In fact, in modern football, although people often say so, players who really play these positions often do more than the position. There are more positions and a larger running range, which is inaccurate.
Of course, with the development of the times, many teams still follow the style of their own countries.
As a result, some old-fashioned tactics often play a special role at special moments, such as the 'horizontal area defense' tactics used by Leverkusen now. In this game, Ogenteller is using this tactic to limit the attack at the front end of his penalty area.
In Liverpool's attack, although Don Jack is a striker, he is mostly at the front end of the opponent's penalty area from the midfield. Gerrard is also active in this range. Cowell and Lewis, who started this game. Garcia's position is on the side, but when they cut inside, it is also nearby. Just because Liverpool does not have a practical center, and Barros is not trusted by head coach Benitez, it can be said that Liverpool has no center.
The result is that Augenthalle does not have to consider Liverpool's staffing at all, which will be beyond his own expectations, because Liverpool's bench depth is limited. In such an important game, Don Jack must occupy a main position. No matter who the other is, the main direction must be Don Jack's point. As long as it is protected in this area, the effect will definitely be very obvious.
As for Liverpool, will you see Leverkusen's tactics, and then play a long pass to reduce the effect?
At that time, it's about half-time, right?
Yes, that's the idea that's what Ogenteller made.
In fact, if you don't look carefully, use horizontal area defense to limit the performance of the opposing players. Such tactics are really not much different from general defensive tactics. If there is no targeted research in the coaching bench, I just feel that the other side has invested a large number of defensive players. The average coach is in the coaching bench. Looking at the game, there is no real data to compare, and it is normal that you can't see a game.
Ogenteller thinks that Benitez's ability is very strong, but it can be seen that Leverkusen's tactics, at least after halftime, then his tactics are equal to success.
For Leverkusen, if you can delay a little time, Liverpool will not score a goal in the first half, so if the tactics will be changed in the second half, it may not be impossible to drag a zero-to-zero draw. This score is really beneficial to Leverkusen in the away game.
Even if it is seen by the other side and targeted tactical changes, Augenteller has already told the players to change the tactics in the second half. He is mentally prepared and has practiced many times before the war. He is not afraid that the team's poor performance due to temporary tactical changes, so the team's ideal score is just a time and effort. The problem.
Leverkusen's players work very hard, and Ogenteller never doubts this.
This is Leverkusen's tactics!
※※※
Benitez was calculated!
Benitez may feel ashamed to be tactically calculated by a practical football star when he was young. In the football coach industry, it is often easy for college coaches to get ahead, and those actual combat coaches who were football stars when they were young often unhappy.
Of course, this is not a widely covered statement.
Many coaches are football stars in young people, but what is worth mentioning now is Ricard. Few other practical coaches can reach the level of top coaches. Even Maradona, the king of football, is unhappy after changing his job as a coach.
But Benitez doesn't know about these.
The Spaniard is leisurely watching the game. From the perspective of the coach's seat, he just feels that the number of opponents is very large and the defense is very strict. However, he believes that the players will overcome this. Doesn't the team have the No. 10 boy? Even if he doesn't behave well, isn't there Gerard's?
What's wrong with Leverkusen to be afraid of!
Now Liverpool is leading by one goal. In terms of form, the team has been suppressing the opponent's attack, occupying the advantage on the court, and the game has only started for less than 20 minutes. There is no need to worry at all. Even if the team makes several mistakes, it is inevitable. It is abnormal for the other side to defend with all his strength and no mistakes. Under this kind of defensive pressure, it is also a test for the team, so that the players will have a more stable mentality in the future. Moreover, it is normal for the team to make mistakes. The team has a large number of defenses, and the team also has to consider defense. The number of attackers is not more than the other team. Even if it has an offensive advantage, it is not surprising to make mistakes. It is really strange that there are no mistakes.
This mentality made Benitez sit more stable on the bench. Even the scene commentator Belt smiled and said, "Our Mr. Benitez seems to have won. There is nothing to worry about in the game. We just need to enjoy it!"
With the popularity of the Spaniard in Liverpool, the fans do trust him. With the mobilization of Belt, the Anfield Stadium is more happy. The mentality of Liverpool fans watching the ball is to relax and appreciate the team's attack, that's all.
But in fact, the players on the court are under a lot of pressure.
Constant mistakes have made the players' mentality more and more unstable. They are counting on several cores of the team to lead the team to victory. However, in the current situation, Don Jack is very closely defended, and Gerard and Cowell are the same. However, after a series of offensive failures, Gerrard has found the opponent's defense. Guard tactics.
When Augentalle was complacious, he never thought that his tactics would be recognized by Liverpool players. The main reason is that Gerrard's tactical consciousness is simply too good. As a player, he has reached the peak of tactical consciousness. This is not that he is stronger than Benitez, but that Gerrard is born with Tactical **, as a player on the court, I feel more directly than the coach's perspective in some aspects.
When he found the opponent's tactics, Gerrard was not in a hurry.
Anyway, the other side just wants to delay the time. Maybe the other side's counterattack can pose a threat to Liverpool. The other party's striker Berbatov is also the top striker in Europe and one of the German striker geniuses, but that's by no means now!
Obviously, Leverkusen just wants to procrastinate.
If the score of 1-0 is delayed until the end of half-time, then they will be really successful. Although Liverpool is the leading side, in fact, the score is not an advantage in the home game. That is to say, the other side wants to use alternative tactics to delay the game, so that the two teams can run back together. On the line, at least at the end of the first half, don't open the point difference too much, then Leverkusen will have a chance.
In order to get a chance to get out of the first line, Leverkusen has been desperate.
Thinking that his team can force the opponent to adopt this kind of tactic that seems to be slightly beneficial to Liverpool and a little unmotivated, Gerrard is a little flustered. However, at present, if the other side really succeeds, although Liverpool is still not at a disadvantage in the situation, that The opportunity to get out of the line was really caught by the opponent.
This result is not very good.
At present, in Liverpool's third-line battle, the opponent who can win steadily should win steadily. If there is any accident, the team really can't support it.
Gerrard has his own opinions. When he finds the problem, he has been thinking about the best way for him. In Liverpool, the person with the most say in terms of tactics must be head coach Benitez, but on the court, as the captain of Liverpool, almost all the players on the court listen to Gerrard. This may be the special treatment of star players, but Benitez also agrees, because he can't find Gerard here. Defects.
Finally, after several failed attacks, when he was stuck by the opponent again and saw that there was only one person standing in front of the black-haired boy on the right, Gerrard's eyes lit up, and he suddenly kicked the ball out of the court.
This move is puzzling.
"What is Steven doing? Did he make a mistake?" Belt doubted.
Taking advantage of the time, Gerard walked to Don Jack's side and whispered a few words to him. The latter nodded inexplicably after hearing this, and then Leverkusen served. After a few passes, Berbatov in the front court made a mistake, which marked a sentence for the attack - Leverkusen's counterattack and inserted help. The number of attackers is too small. Berbatov has no skills, but there is nothing he can do if no one responds.
It's Liverpool's turn to attack.
Cowell has always been the fulcrum of the team's attack. At the beginning of the season, Cowell has been injured and his performance is very unstable when he recovers from the injury. As a result, Benitez does not trust him a little, but Cowell's skills are really good. He has a strong ability to control the sidelines, which is also occasionally he will have a very high competition. The reason for the level.
When the team attacks, Cowell occasionally cuts into the middle to cooperate with his teammates, or turns from the middle to the right and passes an exquisite arc ball. That kind of arc ball is very accurate. In the team, he is only slightly worse than Gerrard in this respect.
The same is true this time.
After Cowell took the ball on the right side, he turned directly two steps forward. Two Leverkusen defenders were thrown away by him one by one. Taking the opportunity on his right foot in the penalty area, Cowell passed the ball diagonally back to the middle.
Gerrard plugs in and catches the ball.
This position is very far from the goal, but the defense is extremely dense. When Gerrard took the ball, two Leverkusen players came to defend closely. In the attack just now, Gerrard had fallen into this encirclement several times, especially twice robbed, which made him very angry.
This time, at the moment of receiving the ball, Gerrard shouted, "Jack, now!"
The two players that Leverkusen defended are Freir and Korchinovick. These two midfielders are all Leverkusen's midfield pillar stars. They are the cornerstone of the midfield of the Bundesliga giants. Its strength can be imagined. In the front of the penalty area, the middle is Frere and Korchinovick as partners. To defend, they don't have a fixed defensive object, but as long as Gerard or Don Jack catch the ball in this position, they will definitely block it as soon as possible.
The two of them ran over excitedly and wanted to contain them like just now.
Before Gerald was in front of Gerald, the latter had already shouted and passed the ball in an instant. The two subconsciously stopped and looked behind them in the direction of the football. Suddenly, a red figure appeared in their own penalty area, and the last teammate was also behind the red figure.
"Danger!!!!!!" The two subconsciously wanted to run back, but found that they seemed to be helpless, because they saw that the number behind the red figure was '10'.
" offside! Referee, he is offside!" Frere shouted to remind the referee.
At the same time, Don Jack in the penalty area has rushed to Leverkusen's goalkeeper Bout with Shaolin Qinggong. In front of Leverkusen, Bout, who was desperately attacking forward, was very nervous. Last season, he was scored three goals by the black-haired boy in front of him. Finally, he had finally met this season and gradually forgotten the sadness and grief of the past, but now he seems to have met the boy who made him sad and sad again?
"God!"
Thinking of this, Bute's movement was not slow. He had already jumped on it.
But at the same time, Bute saw the dark-haired boy in front of him. He gently waved his right foot and knocked the ball to the side, and then ran briskly from his body that had fallen to the ground.
What's next? Butt lying on the ground has been expected---
"Goooooooooooooooooooallll!!!!!!!!!"
"Jack!!! Jack!!!"
Field anchor Belt shouted excitedly: "Gooooooal!!! Jack!!! Two to zero!!! A beautiful anti-altern offside!!! It's the 25th minute of the first half. Jack got a chance with a beautiful offside. He received a subtle pass from Steven and scored another goal for the great Liverpool. We led by two goals!"
"The game has turned into a unilateral massacre. Leverkusen has no way to face our attack. They are as cowardly as a poor little widow who is bullied..."
Hearing this, Leverkusen coach Ogentale, who was already in a bad mood, almost went crazy. He quickly walked to the fourth official and kept venting: "I want to appeal! Anfield's commentators are insulting our team! I want to appeal!"
"Okay, okay, I'll write it down..." The fourth official is really sad.
※※※
"Damn it, that's true!"
Bute finally stood up from the ground. He looked a little embarrassed when he was covered with grass, but his ferocious face told everyone that he was in a bad mood.
"What do you think of people! How can you make such a mistake!" He yelled at his teammates.
As an old man of the team, Butter's temper is not very good. Last season, he let the brunette boy score three goals in a row, and now he meets the same player and lets the other side score goals. Butter's mood can be imagined.
But Butt knows that it can't be all his fault with his teammates. The main reason is that the black-haired boy is too fast, and the ball just now is likely to be offside!
" offside! Referee, why didn't you whistle just now? He walked to the referee and said so.
Butt didn't expect that the referee Vasaras's reaction was extremely fierce. He pointed to Bute and scolded, "Go back!" I can see it clearly!"
In fact, the referee Vasalas was also a little annoyed. Just now, three Leverkusen players have come to question his sentence, but the linesman did not signal offside. How did he know that the offside is not offside? He can only judge the penalty according to the flag of the sideline, and it is impossible for him to make his own decision.
Vasaras felt that they should question the borderline rather than him.
However, the big screen at the scene quickly protected the camera just now. From the camera, at the moment when Gerard passed the ball, Don Jack was half behind Juan. Obviously, he was in an offside position, and the referee's decision was right.
And Leverkusen's head coach Augentall doesn't care about this. No matter whether the penalty is correct or not, it must be impossible to change it. He cares more about the process of the goal just now - has Liverpool seen his defensive tactics and then used this anti-offside method to strike back?
Ogentele was not sure. He looked at Benitez on the Liverpool coach's bench.
