Step by Step to Win

When the second half of the game started shortly, looking at the dazzling 1-0 scoreboard, Magath stood on the sidelines, watching the Schalke players galloping on the court with an unhappy expression, complaining in his heart. Before, he, Great for Schalke.

In the 31st round of the league, halftime passed and Schalke led Wolfsburg 1-0. Seeing that the players who were still their own disciples a month ago have now become their own enemies, Vest is also quite unhappy. And seeing the score, his unhappiness will be exacerbated even more.

Moreover, he could see that Schalke was obviously not doing his best. Their lineup was arranged. Although almost all the main players were in the backcourt, Raul did not play in the frontcourt. In this game, they obviously wanted to prepare for the midweek Champions League and wanted to rehearse their defensive standards in advance, so they did not emphasize offense.

In the midweek game, Schalke played Manchester United after all. Even if Manchester United are not as brilliant as Cristiano Ronaldo in the past two years, as long as there is Ferguson, it is still not a team like Schalke that can be underestimated. Schalke's new coach Rangnick also attached great importance to that game, and before that, the battle against Wolfsburg also became his hopeful tactical exercise time.

However, although in his opinion, his tactical arrangements are very good and he is ready to fight Manchester United, in Magath's view, his tactics are still full of loopholes and problems.

Rangnick's tactics are equipped with five guards in the back. Single midfielder tactics, which are not in line with conventional tactics, naturally have big problems. Five guards. A midfielder, which led to their lack of midfield defense, requiring one of the central defenders to continuously advance support. Rangnick did exactly that, he let Papa run back and forth, constantly supporting the midfielder. But doing so has a fatal weakness compared to the double midfielder.

Schalke uses a single forward, three midfielder tactics. Their three midfielders, in terms of strength, can be regarded as excellent midfielders in the Bundesliga. But when it comes to defensive enthusiasm, it's not very good. They refused to return to defense, and the midfielder had to be exhausted in the midfield. This kind of frontcourt must be matched with a single defensive midfielder. Afterwards, it will be exhausted and it will be difficult to take good care of it. The distance between the three lines will become larger and larger.

Sacchi once said that the most appropriate distance between the three lines of modern football is 25 meters from each other, but Schalke's single midfielder is difficult to connect this distance. As a defensive midfielder, Jurdo has a good level, but he wants to maintain his formation. It is difficult for him to do it.

Even after watching halftime, Magath could feel many problems in the opponent's tactics. If you are facing a strong team, it is enough to take advantage of this flaw. Rangnick led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. He is also a successful coach, but in Magath's view, his level of coach is still far behind.

Rangnick was called a professor in the Bundesliga, saying that he is an excellent tactical academic coach. However, in Magath's eyes, the so-called academic. It means being divorced from reality. It seems that he designed a good tactic, but it is on Schalke. These tactics are totally useless.

During Magat’s time at Schalke, these problems were not uncommon, but the team under Magat’s management was active in anti-grabbing, and pressure at any time was a necessary tactical component. Now he has been away for a month. These players We are no longer willing to perform those exhausting tasks, and their strength is not as good as before.

Such Schalke encountered Manchester United and feared that there was no possibility of winning. Ferguson has coached the Premier League for more than 20 years. Although there are many people who question the level of tactics in the Premier League, Ferguson's coaching is not as pioneering as the mainland coach. However, everyone must admit that Ferguson has a solid grasp of the basics of tactics. One of Schalke sent him in front of him, and that was waiting to be abused.

It's a pity that Manchester United can abuse them, but they can't do it themselves. Magath looked back at his players, and he could only lament: Although the opponent's tactical loopholes are not small, and his style of play is not without problems in his opinion, it is difficult to take advantage of this flaw.

Schalke's tactics are not good, but Wolfsburg is simply because the players are not in a state of strength. In the previous few games, Magath thought he had reversed the team's losing streak, enough to restore the players' confidence. But this scene is still not so good.

One season's weakness has already destroyed their confidence very much. In the previous few games, although they played well, most of those **** were facing relegation teams, and the team's confidence could still be gathered. Really facing a strong team game, this is the first time Magath has met since returning to Wolfsburg.

The schedule of Wolfsburg's final relegation period was actually quite good. They didn't have any hard fights to play. Even the most powerful Schalke they have encountered so far is only tenth in the league. However, this tenth is different from other tenths after all. The Champions League has reached the semi-finals, and there is always something outstanding.

The reason why Schalke can dominate in the Champions League, their lineup is a very important reason. Their players are very strong. Facing opponents like Wolfsburg, even if the tactics are not dominant, they can still rely on the players' abilities to complete their counterattacks.

The only goal in the game so far is that they relied on a counterattack. Schalke's tactics were quite simple. After getting the ball, he divided the sides, and then pressed through the wing. After Farfan got the ball, he launched an attack on the backcourt of Wolfsburg.

Among all the wingers in the Bundesliga, apart from Bayern’s Naberger and Robben, almost no other wingers dare to say that their strength is stronger than Farfan. As a top winger, Farfan's speed and his ability to break through have caused Wolfsburg to suffer a great deal. It was his cut after a dribble that accurately entered the penalty area of ​​Wolfsburg. In the penalty area, his accurate cross also allowed Schalke's center Edu to calmly break the gate of Wolfsburg after receiving the ball.

His old love will break the door of his coaching team, this kind of thing is enough to be annoying.

And if it's just a strong offense, their defense is just as terrible. Their biggest player is their main goalkeeper Neuer. This name is enough to make any striker who faces him lose courage. The main goalkeeper in Germany has become very popular recently. Although the goalkeeper has the old demon Buffon from Italy and Cassie, the captain of Real Madrid, their honours are hard for others to win, but Noy Still relying on his own strength, Er has basically crowned the title of the world's number one goalkeeper in the future. At this time, many teams are rumoring to buy him, and Manchester United and Bayern are the two most famous.

Thinking of this, Magath felt angry. He has coached Schalke, he knows Neuer's temper, he is absolutely unwilling to play in leagues outside of Germany. And if he stays in the country, he will probably be pryed away by Bayern and become Bayern's goalkeeper in the future. Thinking of this, Magath is extremely annoyed. He doesn't like Bayern, much less that Bayern can become stronger in any way, and the players he trained during his coaching Schalke are going to go to Bayern, which is enough to make him angry.

Walking back and forth on the sidelines, watching the situation on the court, Magath also had great resentment in his heart. It is difficult for him to restrain his emotions. Even if he knew that the only result of doing so was to be mocked by the media after the game, he could not restrain his mood.

This game is really annoying. If there is a way to retaliate and go back...

Magath was walking on the sidelines, looking up at the court, but at this time, he saw Graffit's unsuccessful shot.

This time, he was inserted from the left. After one step into the penalty area, he slammed and kicked the ball to the upper left corner of the goal. His choice looked good, but Neuer was in front of the goal, bounced very quickly, his palm was in front of the goal, and the football was blocked again.

The angle of Graffit's shot was already quite tricky. Unfortunately, he was facing Neuer and still had no chance. It can be regarded as a blind shot against other goalkeepers, but Neuer can block it. Such a level is amazing.

Magath sighed, he didn't bother to go to the game anymore. With Neuer, he doesn't know exactly how to score a goal in this game.

However, Grafitt's state, he definitely can't stand it. Instead of letting him be so ashamed on the court, it is better to change players early and try to give it a go.

"Gao, come here!"

Standing on the edge of the court, Magath finally made up his mind to make a substitution. He waved his hand and called Gao Shunyao over. In his ear, he said his own opinion, "You will be on the court in a while, don’t go to the penalty area. Conflict inside. Within 25 meters between the back midfielder and the defender~www.ltnovel.com~ Run back and forth for me, run hard! Take Papa completely, let him run with you, as long as he runs , Our players can plug in from the back row and threaten the goal. Do you understand?"

In Magath's view, the biggest trouble with using foreign players is that the language has a lot of obstacles. But now at this time, he can't take care of that much. He tried to speak with Gao Shunyao in the simplest language, pointing at the court and waving his hands, indicating what he should do.

"I understand."

Hearing what he said, Gao Shunyao nodded immediately. His attitude gave Magath some relief. At this time, what he needs is not the opinions of the players, but the strength of execution.

When the coach uses players, he also knows that it is impossible for a player to perform at the top level in every game. They may not be able to play a role in every game, as everyone knows. However, what the coach needs is the obedient and hard work of the players, and the determination to execute, that is, a good player. And if you can execute the tactics and play against the strong team, then it will be enough for the coach to admire him.

What I gave him was an extraordinary opportunity, but I don't know, can he grasp it? (To be continued)
