Super Marshal

　　 Manchester West, Manchester United Carrington training base.

　　 In the head coach’s office, Ferguson and the coaching staff, who had just returned from an away game in London, are watching Manchester City’s home game against Chelsea. During the live TV broadcast, referee Webber blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

　　 The upper left corner of the live screen shows a score that shocks everyone.

　　 Three to zero!

　　 International practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

　　 Kaka scored the Premier League goal, Cristiano Ronaldo made a pass and Sanchez assisted twice, Benzema contributed a goal, Manchester City played very well.

Needless to say, the offensive players in the frontcourt can feel their strength from the statistics. The combination of David Silva, Modric and Harvey Alonso in the midfield also showed a powerful combination. Organizational power.

Defensive line Mascherano completely frozen Robinho, Xavi Martinez and Kompany faced Chelsea’s offensive players, their performance was also remarkable, but the goalkeeper Cech, the whole first half felt Some do nothing.

　　 The biggest highlight of this game is the first Kaka debut in the Premier League.

　　 As early as during the summer training camp, everyone was saying that Alpine relied heavily on Kaka, but the Brazilian midfielder had surgery just after joining and was absent for a few months, which was a big blow to Manchester City.

　　 But in fact, no one knows how big it is.

　　 Many people even have doubts about Kaka, because it is obviously doubtful whether a player who has undergone major surgery can recover to his best condition.

　　 In fact, Kaka has not recovered to his best condition. It is difficult for him to maintain the hurricane advance of his peak period, but now he seems to be playing more restrained, smarter, and more threatening.

　　 I believe that after this game, no one will doubt Alpine, Manchester City, or Kaka.

At least from the forty-five minutes of the first half of the game, the alpine Manchester City played an unprecedented smooth offensive and created a powerful attacking firepower. Even Chelsea, known as the Premier League’s first iron army, could not stand it, losing three goals in a row. .

　　 Although every game on the football field is different and cannot be compared, Ferguson had to ask himself, if it were Manchester City in this game, Manchester United would probably lose even worse than Chelsea in the first half.

　　 Thinking of this, Ferguson sighed softly.

　　 He once told Gao Han that he would teach Chelsea a lesson, shame Rijkaard, and defend the dignity of the coach, but he did not expect that Gao Han's lesson was so thorough that even he was terrified.

"From the perspective of the first half, Chelsea's midfield was completely lost. Let alone counterattack. Even the defense that blocked Manchester City's pass and control penetration could not be grasped well. If Scolari does not adjust in time, I am afraid that he will have to do more in the second half lose."

　　 Assistant coach Mike Perrin also sighed deeply and said helplessly.

　　 Anyone who encounters such a state-of-the-art Manchester City will have to ask for blessings.

　　 "Adjust? How to adjust? Get possession of the ball with Manchester City? Don't be silly, you can't grab the ball at all, and you will lose your position instead."

　　 "Isn't it? Didn't Chelsea never defend in the first half, but did they defend?"

"Man City's strength is indeed built on the basis of the midfield. Their passing style makes Essien, Lampard and Ballack just like a flies, they can't organize an effective defense at all. , This is a very serious problem."

"Kaka's comeback is very important. It released David Silva and Modric. They have a wider running range and a wider area of ​​activity. This greatly activates their ball-handling and organization ability and also allows The pass penetration of Manchester City's entire midfield has become more difficult to defend."

　　 "Can we go the other way and step up the offense?"

　　 "Offensive?"

　　 "Yes, strengthen the offensive midfielder, such as replacing Arshavin to strengthen the offensive ability of the midfielder."

　　 "This is feasible, Mascherano retreats to the back line, the thickness of Manchester City midfielder's defense is probably..."

　　 Just as everyone was discussing with you, Ferguson, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, suddenly shook his head and said, "This is impossible!"

　　 impossible?

　　 Everyone looked at Ferguson strangely, only to see the old Scottish man slowly opening his eyes.

"Your thinking logic is very similar to Scolari. You still stay in your previous experience. You have not seen Alpine's tactics at all. If you switch to Arshavin, with the Russian defensive defensive end, Chelsea will probably die even worse. , At least it won’t be better than the first half."

　　 Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Ferguson meant.

　　 After seeing Ferguson, he sighed slightly, a little helpless, because he knew exactly how advanced Gao Han's ideas were.

"Over the years, all strong teams in European football are eager to have a full-time defensive player like Essien or Mascherano in the midfield to consolidate the defensive hardness of the midfield and protect the midfield and defense. Role."

　　 Everyone nodded, almost all teams do, especially in the Premier League.

　　 "But have you ever thought about it. Over the years, Gao Han is constantly trying to cut off a full-time defensive midfielder."

　　Ferguson said so, everyone thought about it, and they couldn't help but understand.

　　 When Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid, it was Harvey Alonso behind, but there was also a midfielder like Marcos Senna in the midfield, and Chelsea also had a top midfielder like Makelele.

　　 It's just that, whether it is Marcos Senna or Makelele, they both have good ball holding and throwing abilities.

But after Chelsea, Alpine took a rest for a year. It is said that during that year he calmly thought about the future football trend. After his comeback, when coaching Inter Milan, the three midfielders were Cambiasso, Veron and Filipino. Ge, Cambiasso left behind alone.

I still remember that many people doubted whether the three-midfield combination of Alpine could be effective. They were worried that they would be blown up every minute. But as a result, it turned out that instead of being blown off, this combination won everything for Inter Milan. .

If there was a black and hard Yaya Toure during the Inter Milan period, then when he arrived at Bayern Munich, he seemed to be taking it a step further, transforming the original wide player Schweinsteiger and introducing Modric. , Promoted Vidal.

　　 Among these three, Vidal's range of activities is quite forward. He was introduced as a backcourt generalist, but he was used by Gao Han as an attacker in the frontcourt, making the Chilean midfielder famous in one fell swoop.

　　 It is reported that the reason Sanchez chose to join Manchester City without hesitation after receiving a call from Alpine was because Vidal praised Alpine in front of him more than once, and Sanchez was heartbroken.

　　 But now, in Manchester City, Alpine has pushed all this to a higher point.

　　 Harvey Alonso, David Silva, Modric and Kaka do not have a full-time defensive player. It can even be said that they are all offensive players who are strong and weak.

　　 But in this way, how can Manchester City guarantee the defense of the midfield?

　　 Thinking back to the first few rounds of this season, Manchester City’s defense has always been solid, and some people even criticized Alpine as a conservative one-to-zero doctrine, referring to Manchester City’s offense, not defense.

　　Ferguson paid attention to the expressions of his assistants, and sighed deeply after seeing if they all had something.

"Compared to the current mainstream play in the top European leagues, Alpine's defensive philosophy is obviously higher. What he pursues is the rate of placement. Whether it is offensive or defensive, he requires every player to be able to run to the most appropriate level in time. s position."

"Football games are not complicated at all. No matter how many offensive and defensive tricks are played, they are essentially emphasizing one point, that is, how to create a numerical advantage in a local area, and use the local numerical advantage to compress the opponent's offensive space when defending. When attacking, it uses the advantage of local numbers to broaden the attacking space of the team."

　　 "And we all know that there is space on the court to have a choice. If you lose the space, you have no choice even if you have the ball."

　　 "The placement rate that Gao Han seeks is to have all the players on the team appear in the position where he should appear in time, thereby creating a local number advantage."

"On the defensive side, there is an advantage in the number of local players, the players are in place, and whether full-time defensive players are not important at all. Whether the team's defense is strong depends on the whole; but on the offensive end, this group of offensives has outstanding skills and creativity. Players can play a huge role, especially when they create a local number advantage."

　　Ferguson's remarks seemed to be an initiation, which shocked the Manchester United coaching staff.

is not that right?

　　 Now mainstream styles of play are beginning to pursue running distance, and many data analysis companies have begun to list running distance among the most important data. Unexpectedly, Gao Han has already exceeded this category.

　　 Or it should be said that running distance is the basis of his tactical philosophy, not the pursuit. His true pursuit is the rate of success.

　　 And if it is as Ferguson said, then this Manchester City is too terrible, right?

　　 "Scolari has no first-line coaching experience in club competitions. He has been coaching the national team for many years. This makes his philosophy far behind the times, let alone catching up with the high cold."

　　 Ferguson doesn't seem to have a cold with Scolari.

"He thought that with Ballack, Essien and Lampard, the team's midfield would be as stable as a mountain. This may be useful for other teams, but it can't even face the alpine cold. It doesn't even need to be the alpine Manchester City. For Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and other teams, Chelsea have to finish."

　　 The tactical development of the national team lags far behind the club league. This is a fact that everyone recognizes.

　　 The UEFA Champions League represents the most advanced technical and tactical level of world football, even far surpassing the World Cup and the European Cup.

　　Scolari coached the national team for a long time~www.NovelMTL.com~ If you want to coach Chelsea with the national team's technical and tactical concept, this is undoubtedly asking for trouble, and you can't play at all, and you are out of date!

　　 Ferguson asked himself that he could not catch up with Alpine, and his Manchester United could not achieve the level of Manchester City. However, he has been competing with Alpine for a long time and has been coaching in the top European leagues. The trend is still clear.

"Let's wait and see. If Scolari is more conservative in the second half and defends the half, maybe Chelsea can still keep his face in this game, but if he is as you say, he will die in Arshavin It's worse."

　　 "After all, this is a contest that is no longer in the same dimension."

　　 Just after Ferguson's voice fell, the live game footage returned to the City Stadium.

　　 After a 15-minute break, the players of the two teams walked back to the court under the leadership of the referee Weber. After swapping the courts, they opened their positions.

　　 This time it was Manchester City who took the lead.

　　 But everyone noticed that Scolari had changed.

　　 replaced the sluggish performance in the first half, the inactive Barak, replaced by Russian international Arshavin.

　　 After guessing the first half correctly, Ferguson sneered.

　　 He is also looking forward to knowing whether he can guess the second half correctly.
