Super Marshal

Chapter 170: Past events in Spain

   "What do you want to do?"

   Aragones’ question made Gao Han difficult to answer for a while.

   Yeah, what do I want to do?

   Gao Han asked himself in his heart.

   Win the Spanish Super Cup? Lead Atletico Madrid to relegation, or even achieve better results as possible?

   But this is the goal and the result.

   He must do something to allow himself to achieve this goal and get this result.

   What the **** is that?

   Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know, I'm still groping."

   Guardiola was taken aback for a moment, what is the answer?

  Unexpectedly, Aragones laughed loudly after hearing this, "Well said, that's right!"

  Guardiola is even more strange, what does this wise man mean?

   "People in the world always think that they know exactly what they want to do, but in fact, they don't know. Everyone in this world is groping. This is the case in life, and so is football!"

   Gao Han and Guardiola looked at each other, and they both noticed each other's surprise.

   Unexpectedly, this grumpy old man still has the side of this spiritual chicken soup.

   "I find it strange, why would you choose to sell Zoran Nigus?"

   Aragones asked a question that many people do not understand.

   "As far as I know, among the players you introduced, no one can replace Zoran Nigus, right?"

   Last season, although Aguilera played a cameo position as a midfielder, more often than not, Zoran Nigus, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna are the standard three midfielders for Atletico Madrid.

The two players on the left and right are the guard, and Xavi Alonso is responsible for the delay organization. This is also considered to be the reason for the rapid progress of Atletico Madrid in the second half. Unexpectedly, Gao Han actually sold Zoran Nigus. , This is strange.

   Guardiola seems to be very interested in team formation and tactics, and he immediately looks at Alpine with concern.

   "My idea is to replace Zoran Nigus with Deco."

   "Deco?" Aragones was taken aback.

   Guardiola was also obviously a little surprised, "As far as I know, he should have played the midfielder, right?"

   "Yes, but I want him to retreat."

   Aragones immediately lit up, "You have to play the ball."

   "Did you see it?" Gao Han smiled bitterly, the old man's eyesight was really thief.

   "Hurry up and talk about your specific thoughts." Aragones urged with interest.

   Although Atletico Madrid and Real Mallorca are rivals in the league, there is nothing to conceal about tactical play, because once on the football field, there is no secret at all.

   The key to the confrontation between the two teams lies in the targeted tactics of the coaches of both sides.

That is to say, even if Gao Han is thinking about his own ideas with Aragonese Nestan now, there is no problem at all, because Mallorca has its own lineup and play style, it is impossible to set up a new set of tactics specifically to restrain Atletico Madrid. How to play?

   This is not realistic at all!

  On the contrary, this kind of open and honest communication between coaches can promote each other's progress.

   This is the purpose of such gatherings organized by the national football associations and professional leagues.

   Besides, there is a rare opportunity to ask Aragones for advice. How could Gao Han miss it in vain?

   "First of all, I think the way of football is to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. The current mainstream style of play is a double midfielder configuration. Four, two, three, one has almost become the standard, but I personally think that this style of play is not suitable for Atletico Madrid."

   Aragones nodded, "You don't have a winger."

   "The main reason is that the winger is too expensive to afford!" Gao Han smiled bitterly.

  Chiao and Guardiola can't help but smile, it's really expensive.

   Real Betis failed to upgrade this season and planned to sell several players in the team in exchange for a reconstruction fund. As a result, the talented winger Joaquín, who had an eye-catching performance in the team, was directly priced at 30 million euros.

do not

Said it is Atletico Madrid, even Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they are prohibitive.

   But in 4, 2 and 3, the two wingers are critical.

   For example, Real Madrid has Figo, Savio, Solari, McManaman, Barcelona also has stars such as Oviemas, Luis Enrique and Rivaldo, and other La Liga teams are also the same.

   Spain's winger tactical play is a major feature.

   But Atletico Madrid’s traditional style of play is somewhat similar to that of other Spanish teams. For example, they attach great importance to strong centers, but wingers have not been the strength of the team.

   This is related to Atletico Madrid's consistent use of high-post defense and advocating mid-to-front press play.

   "Your midfielder's idea of ​​controlling the ball is very similar to Camacho when he first took over the national team."

   "Camacho?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

   This is the current head coach of the Spanish national team, but his results are not very satisfactory. The tactics of flying on both wings and playing high are also criticized in Spain.

   Aragones saw Gao Han and Guardiola both looking at him, his four eyes were full of curiosity, and he could only explain.

"Although we have always been recognized as strong teams in the past few years, La Liga is also the world’s three major leagues. Later, with the rise of the Bundesliga, it became the four major leagues, but we have always been behind other countries in terms of tactics. ."

   Gao Han and Guardiola listened attentively, this kind of opportunity is quite rare.

"So, you see, in the 1970s, the Netherlands and Germany were invincible. In the 1980s, England was invincible. It was nothing like our Spain. Even in the era of the Five Eagles of Real Madrid, that is, they were playing sideways at home and going abroad. Can't play."

   "Everyone in our country was thinking, why?"

   Gao Han blurted out in reply: "The characteristics of the players are different."

Aragones flashed a hint of praise, "Yes, our players are generally shorter than other countries and weaker in physical confrontation, but our advantage is flexibility and technology, so in the 90s, Cruyff will control the ball. The introduction of the system to Barcelona is like opening a door for all of us."

   Gao Han and Guardiola looked at each other and listened more intently.

"It can be said that in those years, we generally believed that the ball-handling style was the most suitable for Spain. Coupled with our abundance of fast and skilled wingers, we soon formed a kind of emphasis on passing and cutting. , The midfield scores the ball and the wing breaks through the bottom pass."

   "But this style of play also has problems, it is very dependent on the center. In fact, in the past so many years, we have not had a world-class center. The club can rely on foreign aid, but the national team can't."

"Also, this style of play will inevitably lead to our offensive and defensive weaknesses, and our players themselves are not capable of confrontation. The defense, especially the defense of the midfield, is very problematic. So these two major problems make us fundamentally very in the competition. It's hard to make a difference."

   Gao Han had to admit that Aragones’ words really hit the nail on the head.

   Obviously, the Spanish football world, especially the elite level, has a consensus on this for a long time.

"With the reform of the club’s shareholding system in 1992, most La Liga teams have gradually come out of their operating dilemmas. Coupled with the stimulation of foreign aid brought by the Bosman Act, La Liga has become more prosperous and tactical play has gradually caught up with Europe Other leagues, so in recent years, the success of Real Madrid and Valencia comes from this."

"The double defensive style brought by Cooper and other foreign coaches has now become the standard for many La Liga teams, and facts have proved that this is also in line with the characteristics of Spanish football. Valencia's Baraja and Albel Dadu is not a confrontational defensive midfielder, but more like a technical defensive midfielder."

   "But before that, Camacho had done an experiment in the Spanish national team."

   "Experiment?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

   Guardiola seemed to be aware, "Luis, what you said is..."

   Aragones nodded, but said in no hurry.

  "After Cruyff entered Barcelona, ​​a large number of outstanding

The talents, including Pep, but although they have made amazing achievements in the club, they are still not satisfactory in the national team. Pep has even missed the national team for a long time. "

   Guardiola also looked sad when he heard it, and it seemed that this was also a regret in his heart.

"This is not because of prejudice, but because the mainstream style of play of the national team at the time was confrontation, just like Clement's national team played a four-three-three tactic, with three forwards in front and three midfielders in the back. Here, two wingers occupy two positions, and the remaining midfielder will be handed over to Pep, okay?"

   Gao Han looked at Guardiola, and had to admit that Aragones was right.

   The reason why Guardiola was able to play a single midfielder in Barcelona was because of Barcelona's overall ball-handling tactical system, but it was obviously impossible to play in the Spanish national team.

   Just like Real Madrid, Makelele strong, right?

  Beside him, Bosque has to be equipped with a full-time defensive, El Guerra, who is a central defender.

"Camacho replaced Clemente. After taking over the national team, he thought about trying to change. He wants to try to further strengthen his possession like Barcelona did, and let Guardiola be the core of the team, Belleron Assisting him, the two formed a double midfielder, and the two sides were slightly adjusted. The right side used a traditional winger, and the left side reused Deportivo’s side midfielder Fran."

   "On the front line, Ulses, who has a strong physique and excellent header ability, but has very solid foot skills, teamed up with Raul to form a double forward to ensure the ball control ability and one-foot pass of the entire midfield.

   "Camacho's adjustment has won him an amazing place!"

   Guardiola also seemed to recall his experience back then, and nodded in admiration: "Yes, I still remember that in 1999, the national team won eight games in a row, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo!"

"Yeah~www.NovelMTL.com~ The first match was in March, the third round of the European Cup qualifiers, the home game against Austria, the hearty 9-0, shocked the world, followed by 6-0 and 9-0 respectively. Zero, defeated San Marino at home and away in two rounds, defeated Austria 3-1 at home, defeated Cyprus 8-0 at home, and Israel 3-0 at home."

   Aragones also showed a look of remembrance.

"Even at the end of the year, when we played against the Brazil team with Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho at home, we were able to beat Brazil into an embarrassing situation with the crazy frontcourt press and smooth offensive cooperation. It was zero to zero, but it was the best game the national team played."

"Even after losing to the Argentine team by zero to two, although many problems were exposed, the team's performance is still remarkable and full of hope, especially Luis Enrique, Mendieta, Outstanding players such as Munitis, Fran, Guerrero, Echeberia, Morientes, etc. make the national team look full of talent."

   Gao Han has been paying attention to the expressions of Aragones and Guardiola, although he is only listening, he is still full of amazement.

   Logically speaking, such a Spanish team should be a big favorite in the 2000 European Cup, but why did it only reach the quarterfinals in the end?

   If it is said that the quarterfinals met the invincible France and regretted their defeat, that would be excusable.

   But why has the Spanish national team's style of play changed again? (To be continued.)
