Chapter 96 This is my Atletico Madrid! [Sixth time it’s released, please beg for the first order]

As we all know, on the football field, the closer the position is to the goal, the denser the defense, and the higher the requirements for offensive players, including technology, body and consciousness, etc.

This is easy to understand.

The higher the position, the greater the defensive pressure and the more physical confrontation.

But the space on the court is fixed there, it depends on how the players use it.

Playing behind the ball requires speed; taking root in the penalty area requires not only a strong body, but also excellent skills.

If enough fans watch the game, they will find that back-up moves are actually used more often.

Not just the center, but everyone in the midfield and frontcourt needs this skill.

The further forward the position is, the more difficult it is to retreat from behind, but the greater the tactical value.

Just like Barcelona's Xavi, the training he received in the youth team since he was a child is the traditional fourth position, which is Guardiola's midfielder position. In Van Gaal's tactical system last season, he was also a midfielder.

why?

Because Harvey's ability to get the ball with his back is not strong.

Similar to this situation, there is Xavi Alonso.

Few people know that in Yang Hao's previous life, Harvey tried to play as an attacking midfielder and core midfielder in the next two or three years, but the results were very poor. This is the reason.

Taking the ball with your back to the attacking direction is a completely different tactical environment from taking the ball in the frontal attacking direction, and the technical characteristics required are also very different.

Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Busquets, Pirlo and others all lack the ability to get the ball with their backs to the attacking direction. This is why Pirlo does not play well in the attacking midfielder position. The reason why he retreated to the lower back position but was activated instead.

There is no right or wrong, but a matter of whether it is suitable or not.

But it can also be seen from these that a player who can pick up the ball with his back and turn around to plan the attack in a dense defensive area has huge tactical value.

The most typical ones are centers Drogba and Benzema.

In today's Atletico Madrid team, Deco is the only player among all midfielders who has this ability.

If Deco can play, Yang Hao will play as 4231. If Deco is absent, then Yang Hao will play as the third midfielder of 433.

But at this time we will face another problem, how to open up the defense?How to advance the ball?
You can't always just play long passes, right?
Adriano is only 18 years old, Yang Hao can't possibly use him to death, right?

In the previous life, many fans emphasized the triangle pass, but this was actually not deep enough.

Any three players on the court can form a triangle, so what is the tactical significance of the triangle pass?

In the game against Real Oviedo, Yang Hao noticed some pictures that particularly answered this question.

So, he cut out the video and put it in the review meeting the next day to explain it to all the players.

At that time, Gravesen got the ball in his own half and was facing the direction of the attack. The defensive player who was originally marking Deco immediately pushed towards Gravesen.

Yang Hao pressed pause here.

"I hope you can think about it carefully. If you were Graveson at this moment, what would be your first reaction?" Yang Hao guided the players to think.

He hopes that every player will not just understand his words, but truly understand the tactical concepts he wants to instill.

"I believe that the first reaction of most people is that Deco's position is vacant, right?"

Yang Hao's question was unanimously nodded by the vast majority of players.

This is a very normal reaction.

"Okay, let's see again, what's the result?"

When Yang Hao pressed continue, everyone discovered that Gravesen had really passed the ball to Deco. As a result, the ball was blocked by a defensive player in the middle. Deco barely got the ball, but another defensive player around him Posted at once.

The final result was that Deco was forced to pass back.

The attack failed.

Yang Hao pressed pause but didn't say anything. He let everyone think for themselves.

After about dozens of seconds, he asked: "Have you noticed that this seems to be a trap? The opponent's defense cannot be said to be intentional, but it is obviously a gap that is mentally prepared?"

Now everyone nodded.

Because before the ball reached Deco's feet, the players pressing towards Gravesen guessed that the Dane would pass it to Deco, and the players near Deco also knew that Deco would receive the ball, so they all passed the ball to Gravesen. Behind the ball, there is action at the same time.

This doesn’t even need to be rehearsed, it’s a natural reaction.

"You guys, let's look at another paragraph."

The time on the screen changed, but Gravesen still got the ball, and Oviedo's defensive players still dropped Deco and forced the Dane. The whole situation looked very similar to the previous one.But after a previous experience, Graveson was smarter this time and did not choose to pass the ball to Deco. Instead, he passed the ball to the front of Baraja and asked Baraja to catch the ball.

Baraja's sudden advance was obviously unexpected by the opponent's defensive players, so the player who defended Deco last time pounced on Baraja immediately this time.

Baraja handled it very smartly this time. He did not pass the ball to Deco immediately. Instead, he waited until the opponent was close and Deco turned around, and then he passed the ball to Deco, which was enough. The amount of advance allowed Deco to directly face the direction of attack.

Although this attack was not successful, Yang Hao was very satisfied with it.

After everyone watched it again, he went back to the moment when Baraja passed the ball and pressed pause.

"No, this time, Deco is truly outstanding."

This is the true meaning of triangle transmission!

"When one of the opponent's defensive players leaves his position, there is naturally space for our opponent."

"We know this and our opponents know it too."

"This makes it impossible for us to directly exploit this point, but to create an offensive situation that is most beneficial to us. This requires someone to join in, form a triangle, transition the ball, interfere with the defense, and further pull the ball away. Make space.”

"From the beginning to the end, Deco has been our passing target and the starting point of our offense, but we cannot pass it directly to him, but must pass through a player first, whether it is Baraja on the right or Baraja on the left. Evra and Vicente on the side."

"Our goal is very clear, to induce the No. 2 defensive player to leave his position and further open up the defensive space. When our ball passes to Deco's feet, he can easily launch the final attack directly!"

The several videos intercepted by Yang Hao are very convincing, and they are all from the game that just ended.

The players can naturally understand it, and even better understand the tactical concept that Yang Hao wants to express.

"In our tactical play, the extra person does not necessarily have to be Deco or in the middle. He can be in the frontcourt, midfield and backcourt, or he can be on the left, center and right. road."

"Every one of our players can be 'Deco', but at the same time, we must also actively become 'Balaja', because only in this way, when you play 'Deco', you will have 'Balaja'. Raha' stepped up and transitioned you."

“This is who we are as a whole!”

……

Not a word of Yang Hao's speech to the players in Mahadahonda will be revealed to the outside world.

Although the team attaches great importance to the relationship with fans and will regularly open it to fans, similar tactical training sessions are strictly confidential.

No one knows what happened at Atletico Madrid's review meeting, or what Atletico Madrid is training for.

The only thing we know is how Atletico Madrid performs on the pitch.

After defeating Real Oviedo 4-0 at home, the outside world's expectations for Atletico Madrid have increased.

But with this momentum going, Atletico Madrid set out on a long journey to Slovenia.

With an overwhelming advantage in the away game, they lost to Olympia Ljubljana 0-1 away from home.

This was Atletico Madrid's first European game in recent seasons. As a result, it suffered a defeat in the away game. At the same time, this was also the first defeat since Yang Hao coached Atletico Madrid.

Many media and fans who paid attention to the game noticed that Yang Hao used all substitutes in this game. None of the main players came, and the center went directly to Kiko.

But even so, relying on its own strength and tactical advantages, Atletico Madrid had the upper hand on the scene, but they were unable to score. Instead, they were attacked by the opponent in the second half and lost in the away game.

After Atletico Madrid suffered a defeat, the domestic media in Spain also reversed their praise of Atletico Madrid in the past few days and began to badmouth Atletico Madrid. Those who were more restrained would express concern. After all, all the pressure is now on the second round of the showdown. .

There are also some media outlets that are even more afraid of causing chaos in the world and are creating the so-called Atletico Madrid crisis theory.

Not only did they lose the first round of the UEFA Cup knockout round, but more importantly, Atletico Madrid is about to challenge Valladolid away in the second round of La Liga.

This team has been a source of trouble for Atletico Madrid for several consecutive seasons, especially at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium in Valladolid, where Atletico has lost for three consecutive seasons.

Moreover, Valladolid performed well last season and is very competitive in itself. In the first round, they drew 1-1 away from Mallorca, coached by Aragones.

The score was a draw, but Mallorca scored in the first 3 minutes. Judging from the overall performance, Valladolid obviously played better.

In this case, Atletico Madrid not only had to be distracted by the UEFA Cup, but also lost the away game, which made everyone feel pessimistic about Atletico Madrid's second round of La Liga.

Some media believe that two-front operations are a very big test for a team like Atletico Madrid, and Yang Hao and his team do not have any experience in two-line operations.

This defeat in Ljubljana exposed Atletico Madrid's crisis.

Valladolid head coach, Argentinian Francisco Ferraro, even said in a high-profile manner, "We have made all preparations and are waiting for Atletico Madrid to arrive!"

Ecuadorian Footballer of the Year, center Ivan Cavedes, who is on loan from Celta Vigo, even said that he is in excellent condition and can't wait to score in this game.

"I have a hunch that this will be a game for the home team fans!"
