Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 257 It’s also a one-person movement

"They always say Bielsa is a madman, but I personally think he is more like a genius."

On the bench of the Brazilian team, Chen Yu sat with Lopez, listening to his analysis of the situation on the field.

"He is a believer in Michels' spatial theory, but he goes to the extreme. On the surface, three defenders will cause a weakness in the defense, leaving space for opponents to attack in the left and right areas." Lopez is a Brazilian As the team's technical advisor, he usually studies tactics, so he can talk about these things easily.

He pointed at the Brazilian team's backcourt and said: "Look, if we want to play the ball in the backcourt, when we advance forward, their three forwards, and the four-man diamond group formed by Veron, will immediately attack and press. , forcing you to retreat to defend, thereby actively neutralizing the opponent's attack and killing it in the cradle before it even starts."

"The pressure I'm talking about is one of the essences of his tactics. Press during defense to limit your advancement on the ground. When attacking, a team of four will form a local coordination, and Veron will organize the attack. At the same time, they will also cut off The short passing line is used to force the defender to pass back. Today's goalkeepers rarely have the ability to pass the ball. Such a backpass can easily become a threat, just like now."

Chen Yu looked at the stadium.

When Brazilian defender Edmilson held the ball and prepared to attack forward, a four-man team consisting of Batty, Ortega, Lopez, and Veron pressed over immediately.

Batty stepped forward to press, and then the two of them tried to cut off the passing route.

Edmilson had no choice but to pass a long ball to the frontcourt.

Brazil and Argentina are old enemies, and Lopez knows everything about his opponents.

In my impression, it seems that Redondo has always been playing in Argentina.

Chen Yu also understood Lopez's eyes, and he deserves credit for co-writing, right?

"Originally, this position has always belonged to Simeone. He is the captain and the spiritual leader of the Argentine team. Except for 94, Redondo has always been a substitute for Simeone in the national team. But his age has also come up, and Serie A has I’m notorious for being long, very tired, and not maintaining my condition well.”

"Redondo has good dribbling ability and is more intelligent in organizing offense. In that game, he and Barty found the feeling, allowing them to win a small victory over Nigeria."

"Understood." Chen Yu nodded.

When the starting lineup was announced before the game, Bielsa and all the media and fans must have been shocked.

"So why didn't you even go to Rivaldo?" Chen Yu asked.

Chen Yu looked at Zanetti, who was running past him. He was from Inter Milan and looked familiar.

On May 5th, Chen Yu watched the match where Inter Milan won the league championship.

"Then what?" Chen Yu asked.

"Then there is the defensive midfielder." Lopez locked his eyes on Redondo on the court: "For Bielsa, this position is very important. It must be a player who is good at defense, that is, Simeone or Redondo. , one can be used as two, after all, there are only 3 defenders, and the defense must be strengthened."

In his thirties, after rupturing his cruciate ligament, he can still maintain such a condition after recovering from the injury. It is simply incredible.

Chen Yu knows this.

Simeone made a sliding tackle in front of the goal and saved the ball with one kick, which was very impressive.

And Redondo also plays in Serie A.

Having said this, he turned to look at Chen Yu.

In this World Cup, as long as the Brazilian team is mentioned, 3R will inevitably be mentioned. This game is better, 3R becomes 2R.

Lopez continued: "Another essence is that on the left and right sides of the midfield, there is Solin and Zanetti. Under Bielsa's tactical system, they need to step forward to support the wingers when attacking, and fall to the back line when defending. , assisting the defense and making up for the holes in the defense, so the requirements for them are the highest, requiring the two of them to run back and forth across the court.”

"Then it was time to play against England. This time Bielsa chose Redondo to replace Simeone because in 99, when Redondo briefly returned to the national team, he partnered with Veron and played three friendly matches, and the effect was particularly good. The most important thing is that Redondo was obviously in better shape, so Bielsa chose him and won all the way."

Lopez continued: "When we played against Nigeria in the first group match, Bielsa played Simeone first, but he didn't score in the first half. Then he asked Redondo to come on as a substitute. I felt that he wanted to repeat at that time. In 94, Argentina’s lineup was 433.”

And he also made an adjustment and added Juninho.

Chen Yu pays attention to the Brazilian team and knows that the Brazilian team has been playing 352. During the group stage, Juninho was always the starter, but later in the knockout round, Scolari replaced him with Kleberson.

In this game, Kleberson still started, but Juninho replaced Rilvado.

When the lineup was announced internally yesterday, Chen Yu was also there, and I felt that Rilvado's expression was a little unnatural.

And not only that, Chen Yu also noticed that the double cards also stayed in the backcourt, so with this, it became a 5-back lineup, playing a 541 lineup.

A long bus was set up directly in front of the goal.

Lopez smiled and said: "It's still to strengthen defense. We changed the formation in the group stage to solve the problem of insufficient defensive coverage in the midfield, and re-activating Juninho was to strengthen the midfielder's ability to organize and attack. But We can’t give up defense, so we can only sacrifice offense.”

"So our idea for this game is to ensure defense while betting on Ronnie's offensive ability!"

Lopez looked at Ronaldo, who had been wandering in the frontcourt and almost never retreated, and said: "Whether it is Ronaldinho or Juninho, they have only one task, pass the ball to Ronnie, and then rely on Ronnie's personal Ability to score goals."

"We don't need a hat trick, we just need a flash of inspiration from him and a goal is enough."

It was only after seeing Ronaldo's state that Scolari made up his mind to make this change. Especially against a team like Argentina, which has a stronger offense.

Chen Yu understood and couldn't help but said: "Then this is too conservative."

It's equivalent to 10 people defending, and in the end it's a bet that Ronaldo can score a goal based on his personal ability.

This kind of behavior, to say the least, is too stubborn.

Lopez smiled and said: "Chen, this is the World Cup. You can't go wrong with being conservative. Why do hot games always lead to upsets and frequent upsets? It's because you never imagine how conservative your opponent can be, and how far football can go." round."

Especially those weak teams that face strong teams and attack hard?
I don’t even know how I died.

The best choice is definitely to defend, fight tooth and nail, and then rely on luck. Maybe with good luck and a flash of inspiration, you can score a goal.

Even if you don't score, you can still work hard to tie. If you can tie with a strong team, it is actually a very good result.

"Also, Bielsa is very creative in his tactical design, but he is too rigid. It has always been this way, making some small coordination on the wing, and then passing the ball. In the group stage, they were the first to qualify, but their opponents set up a bus. , and it also makes them uncomfortable.”

"Also when we were playing in England, facing a forward combination like Heskey who was tall and capable of heading the ball, and Owen who could move forward quickly, the weakness of the three defenders was clearly visible, that is, we did not have a player like Heskey. , otherwise we would fight like this."

When talking about this, Lopez sounded a bit angry. In his mind, Bielsa can certainly break the rules and make changes, but the style that has not changed for several years has long been thoroughly studied.

Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully and learned again.

But in this case, this scene is destined to be very boring.

In fact, this is the case. Argentina has a very high ball possession rate and has been suppressing Brazil.

But facing the Brazilian team with five defenders and two defensive midfielders, there was no way for the gods to do anything.

The most threatening thing was Batty's violent long-range shots outside the penalty area one after another.

Except for long-range shots, Argentina could not produce any threatening offense at all.

As for Ronaldo, he wandered alone in the frontcourt for half the game.

This kind of dullness even made the fans at the scene fall silent.

Both Brazil and Argentina have a large number of stars and an amazing number of fans in Japan.

So this game is a hard-to-get ticket. Tens of thousands of fans bought tickets just to watch an offensive battle. This was good. After watching half of the game, I almost fell asleep.

In the box on the top floor, Trapattoni asked for a box out of honor and watched the game with assistant coach Pietro Hedin and Baggio.

"Do you understand?" Trapattoni turned to ask Hedin beside him as he watched the two teams return to the locker room.

Hedin nodded.

The Brazilian team's tactics in this game are very clear, which is to defend hard, rely on Juninho's center, and Ronaldinho's free running to deliver ammunition to Ronaldo, launch a quick counterattack, and bet on Ronaldo's personal ability.

Trapattoni crossed his arms: "Actually, if Argentina enters the final, I am also prepared to play like this, but I didn't expect Brazil to play more aggressively."

Italy is already strong at the back, and there is a possibility of a bus in front of the goal.

Maldini was also watching and asked in a low voice: "Will Argentina adjust in the second half?"

Ronaldo is alone in the front, which is actually quite restrictive.

Trapattoni shook his head: "No, if Bielsa adjusts, then he is not a madman famous in football."

Because I am crazy, I am stubborn and have almost no changes. It will always be the same. If I win, my tactics are awesome. If I lose, it is a matter of players' execution.

And in Trapattoni's view, the more important question before Bielsa is how to score first.

After pondering for a moment, Trapattoni added: "I feel that our opponent should be Brazil."

Seeing both of them looking at him, Trapattoni sighed: "The current Ronaldo really has no shortcomings, he is too strong."

Judging from the first half, Argentina just couldn't find a way to break Brazil's formation.

If it weren't for luck, Brazil would have played 0-0.

Then it’s up to Ronaldo.

Football is a sport for 11 people, but sometimes it is also a sport for one person.
