Chapter 327 514 poke!
Although even Gary Neville, who has always been stubborn, feels a little guilty after Chelsea's consecutive victories in adversity, Manchester United coach Van Gaal will naturally not let his hands down easily.

He's always been a tough guy!
When he was interviewed by reporters before the game and was asked about his upcoming league opponent Chelsea, Van Gaal stated in a high-profile manner that the team will continue to stick to its style of play at Old Trafford and then beat Chelsea.

"I know Chelsea have done well this season in the Premier League and in the Champions League, but that has nothing to do with me."

"I have developed a suitable strategy for Manchester United, and I also believe that this strategy can restrain Chelsea's formation and win in the end."

"You say that Pan Yi is a master of tactics? Hehe, when I was told that, he was probably still in kindergarten, right?..."

Van Gaal's remarks quickly spread throughout European football, and of course they reached Pan Yi's ears.

"Hehe, Van Gaal is indeed an old hooligan."

When Scaloni handed the newspaper with this report to Pan Yi, Pan Yi smiled instead of anger.

To say that Van Gaal is a "hooligan" is not nonsense.

His open and forthright speeches have always surprised many people, and he is even called the coach of jokes.

"Whether it was Zouma's steal, or Kanter's counterattack, to Lukaku's interspersed running, and Bamford's shot, they all played very well."

In Pan Yi's previous life, Van Gaal used to rely on his mature big circle tactics to defeat Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and other powerful enemies in a row, creating a six-game winning streak.

Of course, this is also because Manchester United's midfield is also empty, otherwise, even if they are as strong as Kanter, there is no way to truly fight against two or three.

Compared with the 433 of other teams, the biggest difference between Paradigm Manchester United is of course the midfield.

"But one thing I am very sure of is that Chelsea may be able to rely on the players' personal ability to win, but Pan Yi will definitely not be able to give me a refreshing feeling on the tactical level!"

Obviously, when it comes to this type of coach, many people will immediately think of Ancelotti.

"Of course, it's impossible for them to win at Old Trafford. In our turf, we won't give him the slightest chance!"

The back four are Blind, Jones, Smalling and Valencia.

Although Manchester United's recent situation is not good, they are Manchester United after all!
The team still has many stars who can use their flashes of inspiration to change the game.

Now, Van Gaal is standing in the ceiling of the coaching bench of the visiting team, looking at the thin line of rain in the sky, the wet field, and the scoreboard showing "0:1" above the field, he couldn't help it. Cursed secretly:
"This damn weather, this damn Pan Yi!"

The midfield three are Fellaini, Herrera, and Carrick.

Today, there is a drizzle in the sky.

"It was a fantastic shot!"

In this case, it is natural for Chelsea to gain the advantage of the scene and get the goal lead.

This "5-1-4 poke" also does not accumulate troops in the midfield, but also based on the side, but it seems to have stronger attack power.

Van Gaal's tactics at Manchester United have evolved in many ways, which will actually cause some uncertainty in Chelsea's pre-match preparations.

Therefore, it is equivalent to the big circle tactics carefully crafted by Van Gaal, and half of them are abolished when they come up.

The combination of side and middle plus double ghost knocking on the door makes people hard to guard against!
And Van Gaal's big circle tactics, the center is the emptiest, so of course it has to be used.

After all, Mourinho's lineup at the time was quite different from Pan Yi's now, and measures should be adapted to local conditions.

The advantage of this is that it allows players to fit the head coach's formation to the greatest extent possible. If there is someone in the original team that does not meet the requirements, then let him go.

If football coaches are simply divided into three types, they are probably the following:
The first is to pick players according to the formation you want to use.

Is there any reason for Pan Yi not to copy this kind of homework?After all, he also has Zuma in his hands!
Of course, Pan Yi will not memorize it by rote.

This set of midfielders really cannot provide Manchester United with strong midfield control.

Perhaps sometimes there is still sunshine in the morning, but at noon or afternoon, it will suddenly rain.

"Bamford opens the scoring for Chelsea!"

Zuma seems to have only one order, and that is to do nothing and just pinch Fellaini.

And if United passed the ball to Carrick who dropped back, more Chelsea players would come up and force one side, forcing Carrick to pass the ball to the other.

This other side is often the side where Chelsea has the advantage!
This is why Pan Yi adopted this kind of big circle tactics.

Fellaini can only do nothing.

Because the footwork of the players here is rougher than that of Mata's, the ability to play the ball is poor, and it is easy to break.

Although there is only one Kanter standing in the middle, this all-round midfielder has a wide defensive coverage, can fill in gaps everywhere, and can also use long passes to send the ball directly to the forwards in the frontcourt.

Therefore, with Carrick as the absolute core, Van Gaal sank between the two central defenders and was responsible for determining the direction of Manchester United's attack.

"So, when we played against Manchester United, we absolutely couldn't give Carrick the slightest space."

Rooney retreated frequently to take the ball, opened the penalty area to defend, and created space for the goal.

The Spanish gang headed by Mata is better at small-scale triangular cooperation and is good at organizing attacks from the ground; while the England play style headed by Fellaini is good at playing high and solving problems in the air.

Guardiola, Mourinho is one of the more typical representatives.

Kanter took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball forward to instigate the attack.

After a few contests at the beginning, everyone also discovered that Fellaini couldn't take advantage of Zuma.

Defenders: Rafael, Luke Shaw, Jones, Rojo, Evans, Smalling, Valencia, Blind.

Manchester United's left wing consisted of Blind, Ashley Young and Fellaini as a three-man team, mainly playing the British style of high-altitude play, which was simple, efficient and fast.

There is no more meaning in repeated back-and-forth. Whoever is strong and who is weak still has to see the truth on the court.

Chelsea under Pan Yi's formation today looks a bit like Van Gaal's!
Of course, Van Gaal's starting lineup is still based on his "big circle tactics", which is roughly a 433 in terms of position:

Then, Scaloni raised his hand suddenly: "That's right, boss. You just said that there are three types of coaches in the world, but you only mentioned two. What is the third type like?"

On the back line, the three central defenders of Terry, David Luiz and Zouma, next to the two wingbacks of Marcos Alonso and Ivanovic, formed a five-back.

The side where Chelsea forced Carrick to play was often the side of the "high-altitude group" composed of Blind, Ashley Young and Fellaini.

To be honest, whether it is the tactical analysis of Van Gaal or his targeted arrangement, if the coach is changed, it will definitely not be as detailed as what Pan Yi said.

And the other half, because they often can't get the ball, is almost useless.

"It can also be seen that even under Pan Yi's seemingly weird tactical system, they still have a good performance!"

The second is to arrange the formation according to the existing players, that is, to see who serves.

This also made all members of Chelsea's coaching staff nod in approval, with admiration on their faces.

"Pan Yi is a very young coach, and I am an old coach, I don't mind giving him some of my life experience, that is—"

Yes, there is indeed one person in Chelsea's midfield today, and that is Kanter.

"So, I will let Zuma watch him every step of the way. I believe that Zouma, who is tall, long-legged and tough, can make the Belgian with rough feet lose the air superiority."

Four forwards and five defenders?Nine players are used here.

As a result, Manchester United made full use of the width of the court and frequently moved laterally to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Didn't you, Van Gaal, have at least three players on each side after giving up the middle, and you have a numerical advantage?
I have done better, and there are more people on the sidelines!
There is a wing back and a winger as a "resident population". The center forwards on both sides and a center back will often pull the side. Coupled with the support of the midfielder Kanter, there can be five people in a certain wing in an instant. , forming more with less.

There will be a problem here, that is, Rooney pulls out from the penalty area and overuses the two sideways, resulting in the lack of personnel in the penalty area.

"I've won championships, and I've lost a lot. These pressures are small things for me."

In this regard, Van Gaal allowed players on the non-offensive side to properly insert into the penalty area, and even Fellaini would enter the penalty area when he held the ball, so as to increase the offensive manpower in the penalty area.

Therefore, for Pan Yi who knows Van Gaal well, it is really nothing to be surprised that he expresses his confidence before the game and belittles his opponent by the way.

And Kanter saw the opportunity and made a through pass, and the ball reached Bamford.

Perhaps, to deal with the strange array is to use strange tricks!

But Scaloni was a little annoyed. He said to Pan Yi: "Boss, shouldn't you respond? In case anyone thinks we are afraid of Manchester United."

The entire Old Trafford stadium was silent, only the cheers of visiting Chelsea fans were heard.

why?
It's because he is a time traveler!

Carrick was mobilized in the center to make full use of the width of the court. The entire formation was like a big circle, surrounding Carrick in the middle.

The ball flew into the left side of Manchester United's goal at a very fast speed, almost rubbing the post into the net.

A boss is a boss after all!

With 11 players in the starting lineup, minus one goalkeeper and nine players, there's only...

Pan Yi first waved his hand and was about to walk away, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Scaloni:
"You just find a good reporter to help me respond, and say that I respect Van Gaal's status in European football, but it is too shameful for him to attack a junior like me."

Generally speaking, Van Gaal's game method of avoiding the entanglement in the midfield and directly dealing cards from the middle to the two sides, of course, has its obvious flaws, and there are relatively simple solutions.

"Because Manchester United have two very different ways of playing, on the ever-changing pitch, Carrick's choice is particularly important whether to shift to the left or to the right."

If you look at it this way, although Van Gaal's big circle tactics are out of helplessness in terms of staffing, isn't it an unprecedented innovation in the history of football tactics?
After all, modern football puts more emphasis on the control of the midfield than any previous era. Many coaches use the method of stacking people in the midfield to liberate the wings and strengthen the offense.

Goalkeepers: De Gea, Lindegaard

"xjbt."
-
October 10, Manchester City.

With the increase in the number of tearing, the opponent's defense gradually exposed its disadvantages, so the phenomenon of playing more and playing less frequently appeared on the two sides, and created a large number of scoring opportunities.

Whether it's body, speed, high ball competition...

Originally, there was no problem with their rough footwork. With Fellaini, they could make an air ferry and then go to a safe area.

Both Hazard and Willian in the front were stretched to the sides, coupled with Marcos Alonso and Ivanovic in the back, Chelsea immediately assumed a posture of attacking from the side. .

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, money, more money.

This is the price of innovation!
As for the big circle tactics against Van Gaal, Pan Yi was naturally confident.

From the formation diagram, this seems to be a big circle!

"Sometimes, for young people, failure is more rewarding than victory."
-
Pan Yi did not respond to Van Gaal's counterattack.

But then Manchester United met Chelsea coached by Mourinho. Mourinho resorted to Zuma and Fellaini's exchange tactics, and then ended Manchester United's winning streak.

"And the specific tactics are like this..."

Of course Van Gaal was disappointed.

"Perhaps because of Manchester United's recent poor record, Van Gaal is under tremendous pressure, so I want to find someone to vent."

"Now Van Gaal seems to have a very disappointed expression on his face! Maybe he didn't expect that Pan Yi would use such a set of games to take the lead!"

Pan Yi soon held a meeting of the coaching staff to prepare for the weekend league.

He gave up almost all midfield positions from the offensive second zone to the offensive third zone, and instead divided the players into two small teams according to their characteristics, living on both sides of the court.

Although it was a weird 5-1-4 formation, Chelsea players still pressed Manchester United high, which made it difficult for Manchester United to play the ball from the backcourt.

Coincidentally, after playing Manchester United, Chelsea will meet York City in the League Cup.

This is why Pan Yi wants to put up two centers.

The female reporters on the side were embarrassed, but Van Gaal didn't care at all, and went back to direct the team's training with a smirk on his face.

Moreover, Pan Yi made a strange move this time. Every time he faced different opponents, Pan Yi always had some unexpected ideas.

But the most terrible thing is that Pan Yi also sent Zuma to guard Fellaini all the way!

What he didn't like even more was Pan Yi's tactics today.

Pan Yi wants to make Van Gaal use his best and most sure tactics through the verbal war with Van Gaal, trying to stabilize this uncertain factor.

In this way, Pan Yi is more confident to come up with targeted tactics to defeat Van Gaal!
-
"Stressed because of a poor record? Hehe, only brats can talk like that, right?"

The positions of the midfielders are obviously different from ordinary ones.

"As long as there is no space, he can't pass the ball calmly, he can make mistakes, and our advantage will be established."

Moreover, Van Gaal is indeed a well-ranked tactical master in the history of world football, and he must not be underestimated.

But if you look at Chelsea's side...

For both sides, Carrick's way of distributing the ball is different. When going to the left, he is more inclined to pass the high-altitude ball to Fellaini, while when going to the right, he is more inclined to pass the ball directly to the horse who is constantly changing positions. Tower or Herrera, the two are responsible for organizing small-scale cooperation.

In a sense, this can be regarded as Pan Yi's "training" in advance.

For example, he once said that Huth's action of pulling Fellaini's hair was like "X abuse", and another example was that he encouraged players to play football with high spirits like "X hunger".

Therefore, Van Gaal arranged for two midfielders with strong defensive capabilities, Fellaini and Herrera, to assist in support and increase defensive intensity.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Zouma passed the ball to Kante after fighting for the next high-altitude ball.

It's just that the generals of Manchester United are not quite used to such innovations, which led to the poor record in the early stages of the league.

At this time, Bamford was sprinting forward, just received a pass from Kanter, and then stepped forward lightly, and shot with his right foot!

Why not pass on Lukaku?
After all, Lukaku performed well in the previous game. Manchester United is now the only one who is still lagging behind Smalling. When facing two forwards, he can only give priority to defending Lukaku's line, and reluctantly missed it. banford.

Not only that, but Manchester United's player configuration has a bigger problem, that is, the mismatch of player styles.

"Oh, is it the third one?" Pan Yi showed a warm smile and replied seriously:

But the problem is that Mata's position is more inclined to the wing, Fletcher is not performing well for various reasons (in fact, the winter window is about to leave the team), Fellaini's skills are rough, and Herrera's skills are not good. How good the game is, Carrick is often missing on the field.

"In my opinion, his 343 and 70-minute substitutions are all the rest of my game..."

Forwards: Rooney, Van Persie, Di Maria, Falcao.

"At Old Trafford, we will fight for the initiative from the first minute of the game and keep it until the end of the game. We will let the opponent leave Manchester with a nightmare."

"But it doesn't matter. See you on the court if you have the ability. Let's see whose tactics are better!"

If one side's attack is blocked, the ball will be handed back to Carrick, who will then transfer the ball to the other side.

What about midfield?What about the midfielder?

As a Dutchman, he really doesn't like rainy days, and he doesn't like rainy days like this one in Manchester.

"It can be said that his transfer determines whether the development of the ball is towards life or death."

In the entire lineup, players who can play the central axis of the midfield include Mata, Carrick, Herrera, Fletcher, and Fellaini.Blind counts as half.

What is more thorough is Chelsea's specific tactics.

After all, there are four forwards in front!
After the start of the game, Van Gaal also discovered that Pan Yi's formation really has something.

Especially the mood of those who are behind in the game.

Based on Manchester United's poor midfield control and ability to play the ball, Van Gaal later developed a tactic of leaving the midfield empty and focusing on the two wings, which is known as the "big circle tactic" by people in the world!
Although everyone talks about "big circle tactics" with a bit of ridicule, in fact this is Van Gaal's best use of Manchester United's limited personnel, and he really deserves to be a master of tactics.

On the right side, Valencia, Mata and Herrera are a three-person team, focusing on small-scale cooperation, which is delicate, smooth and gorgeous.

De Gea is the goalkeeper.

"Bamford! He scored!!"

Midfielders: Mata, Januzaj, Carrick, Ashley Young, Herrera, Fletcher, Fellaini.

"Manchester United's big circle tactics, the most important people are two. It can be said that Van Gaal's tactics are based on Carrick's excellent scheduling ability, Fellaini's ability to compete for high-altitude balls, and two people. The tacit cooperation of the side lanes."

In fact, Van Gaal is also a good player.Chef Fan didn't do it for nothing!

Of course, he never thought that such an original set of big circle tactics would be broken by Pan Yi in such a way.

The Manchester United players hurried to defend, but did not notice that Chelsea's two centers, Lukaku and Bamford, were also advancing quickly.

This also shows Pan Yi's thorough research on Van Gaal's big circle tactics!

"Against Chelsea we had only one goal and that was the three points."

"I just want to tell Pan Yi now that if he wants to be worthy of the title of 'Master of Tactics', he must use tactics to defeat me in the game."

The front three are Ashley Young, Rooney, and Mata.

"I have been a professional coach for more than 20 years. I have been to big clubs such as Ajax, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern. I have also served as the head coach of the Dutch national team. What battles have I not seen?"

I don't usually like to fight with each other, but if I fight, I'm not afraid of anyone!

After learning the characteristics of Manchester United players in detail, Van Gaal invented this seemingly weird big circle tactic.

But if Pan Yi wanted to respond like this, he naturally had his own purpose.

Manchester United this season has limited staffing, poor signings, and mixed player characteristics. In fact, it is difficult to integrate into the same tactical system.

After Pan Yi explained Van Gaal's big circle tactics, he also immediately gave a solution.

After all, Fatty An is famous for being able to cook. Whether in Milan, Real Madrid, or later in Everton, he can cook all the "ingredients" under his hands deliciously.

It's just slightly different from Van Gaal's.

This also makes everyone look forward to the weekend's game.

Carrick is centered, while Fellaini leans to the left and Herrera to the right, creating a big circle.

Van Gaal is absolutely amazing to have the courage to change and innovative thinking.

Van Gaal, on the other hand, went against the current completely, directly abandoning the center, focusing on the side attack, and using the way of piling up people on the side to relieve the pressure on the center.

It's not that big, but it does affect the mood.

"And once Fellaini has no air strike capability, he will lose his tactical role."

Let's take a look at Manchester United's regular main players and rotation players this season:

Therefore, Pan Yi also did enough homework to share with you at the meeting——

If you use what Pan Yi said in an interview, it is that the formation he used today is a "5-1-4 poke"!
It is said that he got inspiration from a game anchor who led York City in the FM game, and decided to use it to wrestle with Van Gaal.

"Let's talk about Fellaini first. He has a terrifying air superiority. Van Gaal's Manchester United will use long passes and local advantages of air superiority to make up for the midfielder's inferior possession of the ball."

Also very special!It's also different from ordinary ones!
The forward line is quite special, Lukaku and Bamford double center forward, Hazard and William are separated on both sides.

In addition, Carrick, as a player with poor mobility, plays a single midfielder, which inevitably means that the midfield defense is weak.

"The other one is Carrick. He stands in the middle of the big circle, he can be said to be the star of this Manchester United team."

Manchester is not by the sea, but it is still a rainy season from September to October.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Scaloni laughed while remembering.

When he was interviewed at the World Cup, he also "driven" in public, and said to his wife who came to visit the training ground: "You can come to the hotel, just go to my room, we are XX".

Van Gaal just came to Manchester United this season. From the warm-up match to the beginning of the season, he actually tried several formations, such as the 442 diamond midfielder and the 352 three-back system, but the results were not satisfactory.

From the point of view of personnel, this may be due to the injuries of the B seat and Cahill, and the red card suspension of Azpilicueta, which made Pan Yi make adjustments as a last resort;
But this formation makes people feel a little weird.

For example, hoarding troops in the middle, advancing slowly, not fighting guerrillas with you, forcing you to also concentrate your troops in the middle for the main decisive battle.

As long as Manchester United's players have to give up the wing and go to the middle, this kind of big circle tactic will be self-defeating.

But Pan Yi actually chose the same big-circle tactics, and chose to have a hard anal with Van Gaal!
It feels like Pan Yi wants to prove in this game that even with a similar formation, I can still beat you!
Isn't this too fucking insulting?
Is this why Pan Yi dared to fight with him before the game?
So, Van Gaal gently wiped a few drops of rain from his face, and looked at the Chelsea generals who were celebrating passionately without saying a word:

"This damn weather, this damn Pan Yi!"
-
PS: Thank you for the 500 rewards for the birth of the kingdom of heaven, and the 3000 rewards for Yangbaa of Cancer!
