Super Marshal

Chapter 692: Alpine fist

   After playing the German Cup knockout, the Bundesliga also quickly reignited the war.

   In the eighteenth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg 1-0 with Aguero's lore.

It was also after the end of this game that Gao Han received news from the Premier League on his way from Hamburg to Munich. Ferguson’s Manchester United successfully signed left-back Leigh from Everton at the last moments of the transfer during the winter break. Don Bynes.

   The specific transfer amount has not been announced yet, but it is said that Manchester United paid a considerable price.

   The joining of Leighton Bynes allowed Ferguson to finally fill in the weakness of the left defensive line, and also greatly increased the strength of the Red Devils.

   When Gao Han received this news, his face showed a deep and unpredictable smile.

   One week later, the 19th round of the Bundesliga.

Back at the Allianz Arena, after a week of rest, coupled with the return of Vidal and Klose from injury, Bayern Munich welcomed Klopp's Dortmund with the most complete lineup, and scored two goals with Klose's score. Du and Vidal's goals defeated Dortmund three to one.

   At the press conference after the game, Klopp regretted that he had done his best, but Bayern Munich in the cold weather was better in terms of tactics and strength.

   "Although I am reluctant to admit it, I have to say that it is very difficult for a Bundesliga team to stop Bayern Munich in a short time."

   After this game, it is the national team game day in February again.

  Because it was arranged in the middle of the week, the weekend league continues to be held as scheduled, but this has somewhat affected Bayern Munich, which has many international players.

   In the next two rounds of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich both won a two-to-one victory. They played away against Hertha Berlin and at home against Cologne. Both won without risk.

   After the 21st round of the Bundesliga, the day to go to London is approaching.

   Since losing to Manchester United in a zero to three away game, Rijkaard's life has become more and more difficult.

First, the outside media hyped up the news that the cold would enter Manchester City, which caused panic in the entire British football scene. Then the management put pressure on the coaching staff to require the team to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, at least Enter the semi-finals.

  The question is, is it so easy?

   After losing to Manchester United, Rijkaard's team won the game at two home games, but soon lost to Benitez's Liverpool at Anfield by a zero-2.

   It can be said that after this game, it is basically difficult for Chelsea to attack the league championship.

   If nothing happens, the Premier League title this season will be a competition between Manchester United and Liverpool.

   After entering February, the situation of the Blues was slightly better. They drew at Hull City at home and beat Aston Villa with an away goal. This slightly eased the pressure on Rijkaard from the external media and management.

   But now, the big test is here.

   How to deal with this big test is also placed on the table of the Chelsea coaching staff.

   "Bayern Munich in the high cold is nothing more than two ways of thinking."

In the coach’s office of Chelsea’s Cobham training base, the chief assistant coach Tencart is giving out his suggestions for the knockout. “One is like Guardiola’s Barcelona, ​​playing pass control, but to be honest, in this respect we There is no advantage, let alone Barcelona, ​​even Bayern Munich is not as good."

   Chelsea is no longer the Chelsea of ​​the alpine period.

   At that time, the Blues were known for their mercury-like passing and controlling. The midfielder gathered outstanding passing players such as Deco, Veron and Ronaldinho to play a frightening pass of football.

   But now, players like Mikel, Ballack, Lampard, Essien and the like are gathered in the blue army. Don't expect to play in front of the cold Bayern Munich.

   "The other is to catch the defense and wait for the counterattack like other teams."

   Except for a very small number of teams such as Barcelona, ​​most of the teams used the latter style of play when they encountered the high cold, but there are also differences.

   For example, some teams will try to attack first, disrupt the opponent's position, and then defend and counterattack, while others will concentrate on defending, stabilize the position and then counterattack, or...

   In short, the same set of ideas, but the style of play is varied.

   Rijkaard knew in his heart that if he was still coaching Barcelona, ​​he might be able to compete with Alpine in the pass style, but when it came to Chelsea, he had no choice at all.

   But the question now is, even if Chelsea is willing to defend, can it be defended?

   Everyone in the coaching room understands Rijkaard's worries at this moment. It can even be said that all teams in the world will have such worries when they encounter the cold Bayern Munich.

   "But there is a problem." Tenkater looked at Rijkaard very seriously.

"tell me the story."

   "The midfielder must suppress the opponent."

   Since Makelele left the team, the midfield problem has always been Chelsea's deadlock.

   From the point of view of Mikel's single midfielder, he is capable of dealing with other teams, but once he encounters a strong team, it is difficult for him to exert an effect, and it is easy to be suppressed by his opponents.

   Lost to Manchester United zero to three, and lost to Liverpool zero to two, both.

   In the past few strong dialogues, opponents have always grabbed Mikel's list of midfielders to play, and Alpine must be the same this time. This will be a big challenge for Chelsea.

   "Then go to Mikel, Ballack, Essien and Lampard. Their experience is very rich, the defense is also thick, and more importantly, Barack is very familiar with Bayern Munich." Rijkaard analyzed.

   Everyone also thinks this is a good method.

"However, judging from the many games this season, we played a four-four-two diamond midfielder. Our midfield defense did a good job, but the offensive effect was not very good, especially between Ballack and Lampard. The problem of coexistence." Tenkater said worriedly.

Fans all over the world know that in the England national team, there is a so-called dual-ethnic coexistence problem, which is the compatibility between Lampard and Gerrard. These two players are Chelsea and Liverpool humeral generals, but in It is difficult for the national team to coexist.

   By the same token, since Ballack came to Chelsea, there have also been compatibility issues between him and Lampard.

   Rijkaard is of course also aware of his team’s problems, but he is more concerned about whether he can block Bayern Munich’s attack?

   Although sacrificing the team's offense, using four midfielders to suppress Bayern Munich's three midfielders is not a bad thing.

   At the very least, make sure you don’t lose, right?

   "Chelsea is now suffering from the problems caused by too many hoarding superstars."

   At the Sebena training base in Munich, Alpine is conducting a tactical analysis meeting with the coaching staff before the game.

"The former Shevchenko, the current coexistence of Anelka and Drogba, the coexistence of Lampard and Ballack, these are all because they blindly piled up superstars, but failed to effectively exert the effect of the player combination. As a result, in this game Rijkaard will definitely break his brains for the starting lineup. Offensive and defensive cannot be achieved at the same time. I am sure that he will defend.

   Judging from the news from the media before the game, the pressure on the Chelsea coaching staff is very high.

After losing to Manchester United and Liverpool in two major games in January, Abramovich’s patience with the coaching staff has almost been consumed, and even the media have begun to use the term "kill order", which shows that Rijkaard has already There has been a serious crisis of confidence.

"Although I don't like Mourinho and I don't like his football, we must admit that one of the things he did best at Chelsea is to keep this team's defense very tight. At one point, the Rijkaard period also continued, especially for several players such as Lampard and Essien."

   "So, once Chelsea wants to defend, and they are willing to put troops in the defense, this will be a big test for us."

   Mourinho's Chelsea was known as the Iron Army, and this name is not imaginary.

   "But Chelsea is not without problems."

   After speaking, Gao Han remotely controlled the projector and switched to the next PPT, which clearly listed some of Chelsea's data.

"Before Christmas, in the first nineteen rounds, Chelsea were able to occupy the Premier League leader for a long time because their defense was very strong, but since the 20th round, there have been problems with their defense, no matter what Whether in the FA Cup or in the Premier League, the number of goals conceded is significantly higher than the previous nineteen rounds."

   Judging from the ups and downs of the number of goals conceded, mid-to-late January is undoubtedly the peak period for conceding goals, losing to Manchester United zero to three and losing to Liverpool zero to two, both during this period.

"We all know the Premier League. Lorenzo had a headache for the Premier League's winter break schedule for a few months. We even had to prepare for the Christmas Devil schedule in October, and Ferguson is also very experienced in this regard. So, you see, Manchester United tends to start after the winter break, while Chelsea are weak during the winter break."

   Gao Han raised his right hand, pressed the remote control once again, and switched to the next picture. It was the statistics and analysis of all goals conceded by Chelsea since the 20th round.

"Look, everybody, defensive headers are Chelsea's biggest conceded. Players consume too much energy, the game is very intensive, the pressure increases, and they are prone to trance and distraction during the game. These are all understandable, so you see, Chelsea Among the many conceded goals, the header is the most serious."

  All the experienced professional coaches on the scene, there is no need for Gao Han to say more, they all know how to use this.

  The first thing to bear the brunt is definitely the coordination of set-piece tactics.

   But soon, the coaching staff had doubts again.

   "Since you want to focus on offensive headers, why do you arrange for Klose to start when you play Cologne away, and let him play the whole game?" Thomas Tuchel asked strangely.

The Bundesliga is on Saturday and the Champions League is on Wednesday. Although Klose can still start, according to Alpine's usual rotation, if Klose plays the whole game, Aguero should start on Wednesday~www.NovelMTL .com ~ Anyone who focuses on Bayern Munich knows that Aguero is better at sports warfare.

Gao Han smiled at Tuchel and nodded: "You are right, Thomas, Klose’s header is indeed more threatening, but you should know that we are studying our opponents, and our opponents are studying us, we know Would Rijkaard not know about the matter?"

   "The reason why the Champions League knockout is so fascinating and interesting is that it is not only a tactical contest, but also a psychological contest between the enemy and ourselves. We not only have to fight our opponents tactically, but also mentally."

In the Champions League knockout matches, especially in the competition between Bayern Munich and Chelsea, although there is a gap in strength, it is not as big as expected. No one can easily crush anyone. Every decision of the head coach is There are good and bad.

   It's like going to Klose. Everyone knows that you want to head the ball, so the opponent won't pay attention to the defense.

   What's more, Klose's ground ball offense and ability to fight alone are not as sharp as Aguero.

   If there is one gain, there is one loss, so there is a choice.

   "Sometimes, we retract our fists to fight out more powerfully." Gao Han smiled confidently.

   Thomas Tuchel is a smart man, he can see through at one point, and his eyes are full of admiration when he looks at Gao Han.
