Forty-Six Profound Problems

When he woke up, Carlo was in a very happy mood.

Today, Madrid ushered in a rare warm sunny weather.

After Carlo finished breakfast, he spent his wife and asked her to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and prepare a hearty lunch at noon. He wanted to entertain a special guest, and then moved out of the chair and sat in the courtyard, warming up. Yang reads the newspaper.

Carlo was actually a little dissatisfied with the reports of the Spanish media. He felt that it was unfair to Gao Shen.

Not to mention the game against Atletico Madrid, just last night's Highbury battle, it is impossible to exaggerate how much praise Gao Shen received, but the media reporters focused more on superstars and youth players, while ignoring the head coach Gao Shen. importance.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

On the one hand, this is the tradition of Real Madrid, on the other hand, the media used to be all badass, and now they can’t keep their promises, right?

Mrs. Carrow was also in a very good mood. She specially prepared some good dishes. When she got home, she got into the kitchen and got busy. Later, she even called Carrow in to help.

The two husband and wife were busy in the kitchen until noon, until the doorbell rang outside the house, and when the guest came, Carlo came out.

...

After the training session in the morning, Gao Shen specially rubbed Raul's ride and ran to a nearby shopping mall to buy a gift.

He knew that Carlo had the habit of drinking two glasses of wine every night, and prepared a bottle of good wine for him.

"It's good that people come, why do you still give gifts?"

Carlo smiled and "scolded", but he was not slow to accept the gift, and after accepting it, he opened the gift bag and took a look, "Wow, after buying such an expensive wine, are you planning to eat next? ?"

As a former boss of Gao Shen, he knows how low Gao Shen's salary is.

The annual salary of Real Madrid stars is high, and the salary of the head coach is also high, but others may not, especially interns like Gao Shen, who are more like free labor in the Real Madrid team.

To put it mildly, you can come to Real Madrid to be plated with gold, and you won't be charged.

"I plan to give this bottle of wine, and I will eat and drink every day in the future." Gao Shen joked.

"Yes, we welcome." Mrs. Carroll's voice came from the kitchen.

Gao Shen and Carlo both laughed in unison.

"Actually, I'm going to sign a formal contract."

The expression on Carlo's face froze, and his half-stretched hand stopped in mid-air. He was obviously a little surprised by the news, but he quickly covered it up and waved towards Gao Shen, motioning him to sit down and speak.

"It should, you can't keep taking the intern contract, right?"

Having said that, Carlo felt very uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he was really happy for Gao Shen, thinking that he deserved it, but on the other hand, he felt sad in his heart, because just ten days ago, he was the head coach of Real Madrid, but now with Gao Shen. After signing this contract, he felt empty in his heart.

Gao Shen has been paying attention to Carlo's expression and knows his mood, but he will know some things sooner or later. Rather than learning from others, it is better to say it himself.

"Sir, I have an idea."

Carlo poured a glass of boiling water for Gao Shen, "What?"

"You come back."

Carlo was stunned again, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Gao Shen.

"I can make a request to the above to create an additional position in the coaching staff, the head of the coaching staff, the special adviser to the head coach or whatever, I really need your help, and Real Madrid needs you very much." Gao Shen Sincerely.

This is his truth.

Maqueda is not bad, but there is always a gap between Gao Shen and him, and he can't fully obey Gao Shen.

When Carlo is the head coach, Gao Shen doesn't really agree with him, but as an assistant, Gao Shen can give him the team's training and other things with great confidence, and even when he is lining up, he can have one person to discuss.

But the trouble is that Maqueda is already the chief assistant coach and cannot be withdrawn, so Gao Shen wants to create another position between the head coach and the assistant coach. He believes that this is not a big problem.

The key is whether Carlo is willing or not.

Seeing that Carlo's face changed, Gao Shen knew what he was thinking. Before Carlo could speak, Gao Shen said with a smile: "I know, it is difficult and inappropriate for you to agree to this matter now, but I and Real Madrid I really need you very much, I don't force it, I just want you to think about it slowly."

He didn't give Carlo a chance to refuse, but adopted the trick of procrastination.

Carlo could only nod.

The two sat down, and the topic naturally turned to Real Madrid and the game that just passed.

Carlo is very interested in the defensive tactics that Gao Shen used in these two games. He also tried the 4-2-3 formation before, but it was very unsuccessful. Gao Shen's attempt was successful. He wanted to know the reason ?

In the past ten days, Gao Shen has been in the tactical library every night, studying Benitez's formation, and Ferguson's tactical ideas. He still has a lot of dry goods in his stomach.

Gao Shen made no secret that his four-two-three formation came from Benitez, but if he goes back further, it is Italy, especially Sacchi's regional defense concept.

After the Italian chain defense was proposed in the era of Inter Milan, the entire Italian football was deeply affected, until Sacchi further proposed regional defense on the basis of chain defense.

In fact, Sacchi's football concept was not recognized from the beginning. No matter how good his performance is, there are still many doubts. Many teams, including strong teams like Juventus, do not favor Sacchi's concept. , For example, Lippi has mentioned more than once that Sacchi's concept is not great, it just changes the training method, and there is no revolutionary breakthrough.

From the perspective of 2021, Saki put forward the concept of space on the basis of people and balls, which is indeed revolutionary.

But subversion often requires a long period of repeated verification before it can be accepted.

What many people don’t know is that Benitez once studied in Italy for a year and was influenced by Sacchi’s philosophy. His predecessor Cooper in Valencia resolutely left Valencia and went to Serie A to coach the star black hole. Inter Milan also has a tactical pilgrimage mentality.

So what's the difference between marking and zone defense?

To put it simply, man-marking means that players adopt man-to-man tactics when defending, and mark the offensive players who enter their defense zone, but this has a premise that the offensive players must enter my defense zone.

In the past few decades, this defensive concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but gradually, no matter how powerful the concept is, it cannot help the toss of time. Professional coaches gradually discovered that this concept has a big problem.

Assuming that Helguera and Ramos are defensively paired, both have their own defensive areas, and the first thing to consider is their own defense.

If Henry dribbles the ball straight to Elgra and passes Elgra in a very short time, Ramos will have to run over from his own defense area to assist in the defense, but there will be a time lag in this process. No to see Ramos.

Sacchi's area defense is not. He does not emphasize man-marking, but emphasizes active pressing.

From the back line to the midfield to the front line, maintain a meticulous position. The distance between players is very close. If you want to move, just a few players move together, maintaining a close distance and cooperation at all times.

Many people will be very surprised, why did Henry fail to play in Serie A but shine in the Premier League?

The reason is here.

In Serie A, when Henry has the ball, he is often not facing one person, but facing two or even three people at the same time, not to mention rushing with the ball to give play to the advantage of speed, even if it is simply It is very difficult to hold the ball.

In the Premier League, he can easily get the space to hold the ball and start quickly, using the gap between the defenses to pass the opponent's defenders one by one, or score directly.

When standing in 2021, many fans will ask, why have the goal scorers become more and more sidelined over the years?

The reason is very simple. The defense in the middle is getting more and more careful, and even the weakest opponent will not leave you much space.

Gao Shen told Carlo that if Elguera and Ramos were in a better state and had a better understanding, Henry’s penalty would not have been earned at all, and Real Madrid could completely seal Arsenal at Highbury.

"I can say with certainty that regional defense is the future trend, and active and active pressing tactics will be the mainstream of future defense, so central defenders like Ramos are our future!"

Ramos, Pepe, David Luiz, Chiellini and other future central defenders, which one is not detained by the title of bold, frizzy and so on? Which one is not a lot of mistakes, much criticized?

But slowly, everyone will find that when they are not there, the defense of the original team will decline to an unbelievable level.

This is the difference between active pressing and passive defense.

And Real Madrid is not suitable for passive defense at all, because Real Madrid has the blood of offensive football flowing in its body.

...

I have to say that many of the advanced ideas and ideas are unheard of by Carlo, which shocked the former Real Madrid coach.

This is not surprising, because these profound things are directly taken out of Benitez's mind, all of which are the experience and experience of this wise tactician master after careful study.

"I have a question, if it's as you said, you want to play with high pressure, then why is it rarely seen against Atletico Madrid or against Arsenal?" When Carlo asked the question, Kind of like a good student.

There was a sense of satisfaction in Gao Shen's heart, and smiled: "It's very simple, in order to achieve the goal of tactics, you need to have the basis of execution. In the final analysis, it is the player. There are thousands of benefits to adopting high-position pressure play, but the premise is that all the The team must be able to run.”

Regional defense is the overall cooperation, one person runs, the whole team follows, which requires everyone to run.

Players are not machines. If they want to run, they need physical strength to back them up.

"That's the biggest problem I'm facing right now, the team's stamina and daily training level is too bad."

When he said this, Gao Shen really had a kind of sadness that a clever woman can't cook without rice.
