Chapter 97: The Source of Inspiration

In fact, Chang Sheng's new offensive tactic was mainly inspired by the World Cup in Japan and South Korea two years later. At that time, the Brazilian team finally achieved dominance and won the fifth World Cup championship.

That Brazil team left a deep impression on Chang Sheng.

That Brazilian team was actually not the strongest Brazil in history, nor was it the strongest in world football at the time. This can be seen from the fact that they were not the favorites to win the championship at that time.

With a midfielder like Zidane, Vieira and Makelele, and three goalscorers in Henry, Trezeguet and Cisse who have won the Golden Boot from three different leagues, defending champions France are the champions Big hit.

Argentina, led by madman Bielsa, set off a storm of offensive football in the South American qualifiers and is also considered to be the favorite to win the championship.

Italy, Spain, England, these teams are all capable of competing for the championship.

On the contrary, the Brazilian team, which stumbled in the qualifiers and almost failed to qualify, was not valued at all.

But who would have thought that the Brazilian team would win the championship in the end? Even the two teams that entered the final were not favored at the time-one was Brazil, and the other was the German chariot that lacked Ballack.

The tactics of the Brazilian team at the time left a deep impression on Chang Sheng.

That is the famous dual card flying wing and 3R combination.

In fact, this Brazilian team is somewhat similar to Getafe, which is now victorious.

For example, they all attach great importance to defense.

After Emerson was absent due to injury, Scolari had to find another way, so he simply deployed a double midfielder formation in midfield. The two defensive midfielders are not well-known, but they are diligent and diligent, and they are both excellent blue-collar workers. One is Gilberto Silva and the other is Kleberson.

Their strong running ability and interception ability. It is guaranteed that there is a solid barrier before the Brazilian defense line.

How is this similar to the three midfielders in the 433 that are often victorious today?

You must know that the defense of this Brazilian national team is very good.

They only conceded four goals in the entire World Cup, including only one goal in the knockout stage. In the group stage, the main lineup also conceded only one goal. In the third group stage, they conceded two goals because the Brazilian team replaced all substitutes in the case of qualifying ahead of schedule.

Three defenders plus two fierce and running midfielders constitute the impenetrable wall of the Brazilian national team.

Furthermore, when attacking,

Scolari's Brazil team is 352, but it will become 532 when defending, which strengthens the level and thickness of defense. The two full-backs, Roberto Carlos and Cafu, retreated to the left-back. When attacking, they rushed to the bottom line of the opponent's penalty area in one breath, and turned into wingers.

Changsheng currently does not have such sharp two wingers. Dual card flying wings are rare in world football. An unrepeatable classic.

The two Brazilian full-backs are almost at the peak of their careers. Whether it is body, experience or technology, it is the perfect time.

Changsheng's frontcourt offense is mainly based on the 3R combination in Brazil at that time.

Brazil especially likes to engage in various combinations.

The 1994 World Cup was a cosmic combination of Romario and Bebeto. The tacit understanding between the two was fully reflected in Romario's ejection in the game between Brazil and the Netherlands.

The 1999 America's Cup and the 1997 French Final Four are the famous "Rolo combination" that has been drooled by countless people. It is "Lone Wolf" Romario and "Alien" Ronaldo. Originally in the 1998 World Cup, everyone had the opportunity to see this combination, but unfortunately Romario was injured and missed that World Cup.

The 2002 World Cup ranked the "3R combination", which consisted of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho, three stars whose names begin with "R".

In 2006, a magic quartet was formed, which gathered four top attackers at the time, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano and Kaka.

Under the leadership of Dunga, the Brazil team in 2010 was a lot of dicks, and there was no combination to speak of.

Among so many combinations, the "3R combination" in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea is the most successful.

Because Scolari perfectly kneaded three stars with different skills, characteristics and styles together. These three stars, any one of them is a well-deserved top card and core in their respective clubs. It stands to reason that if the three cores are put together, the situation of 1+1+1=3 may not necessarily appear, and it may even be less than three.

This point is known from England's double virtue issue. Gerrard and Lampard are the core of their respective clubs, but when it comes to the England national team, life and death just cannot coexist. No matter who is the coach of the England national team, they have not been able to solve this problem.

These are just two cores, but the Brazilian team has three cores.

But Scolari did.

The three cores do not interfere with each other, but complement each other, help each other, and completely complement each other.

At the same time, because there are three cores that can stand alone, it means that the opponent cannot rely on the tactics of freezing the core to stop the Brazilian team's sharp offensive. For example, in the quarter-finals against England, Ronaldinho became the master of that game. He first relied on his personal skills to break through from the wing to the center, tearing open the defense of the England team, and then assisted Waldo scored to tie the game. Then he used a wonderful free kick full of imagination and luck to help the team overtake.

He was then sent off with a red card.

But in the next semi-final, without Ronaldinho, the Brazilian team relied on Ronaldo's great performance to defeat Turkey, which was in excellent form at the time, and entered the final.

Then in the final, the 3R combination showed great power. Ronaldo scored two goals alone, helping Brazil beat Germany 2-0 and won the cup for the fifth time.

So how did Scolari do it?

Actually he didn't do anything.

He just put three people on the court and let them play freely, fully believing in the tacit understanding and ability between these three talents.

The triangle formed by three people is constantly turning on the court, and sometimes Ronaldo is at the forefront. Sometimes it was replaced by Rivaldo. Sometimes it's a double striker, sometimes it's a single striker. Sometimes it is a single attacking midfielder, sometimes it is a double attacking midfielder, and sometimes both Rivaldo and Ronaldinho are pulled to the wing and become wingers.

Such a wealth of changes can completely confuse any line of defense in the world.

Transposition is perhaps the only requirement Scolari has for these three great talents.

※※※

Similarly, transposition is also Changsheng's requirement for Getafe's offensive combination.

Although not the only one, it is definitely the most important.

Of course, Getafe's offensive trident is far from being able to compare with Brazil's 3R combination.

The Brazilian team is tall, handsome and rich, while the ever-victorious Getafe is a loser. But Gao Shuaifu's battlefield is also more advanced. It is more difficult. The place where diaosi has to fight is not so scary.

Even if it is not as good as the opponent, it should be more than enough to deal with the La Liga.

Luis Garcia can be left or right in the future. Although he was transformed into a right winger under Frank Rijkaard after returning to Barcelona, ​​at least it shows that he has this potential.

And Mista himself runs very well without the ball. The running ability is also very strong. In fact, he doesn't score many goals, and he can still play the main force in Tenerife, which has a lot to do with his running ability.

Charisteas does not need to change positions, because he is a center forward, and he will provide Mista, Garcia, and others with a frontcourt fulcrum and reference.

Because in this era, frequent transposition is still a novelty. Not to mention the opponents who are often victorious, even the players who are often victorious, they will be very uncomfortable.

In order to prevent them from changing back and forth. If you feel dizzy, you need a reference in the middle. Afraid of dizziness? Just look at the reference object and you won't be dizzy.

Charisteas was going to make a bridge for two people, so that the trident was in shape, otherwise it would be just three people running around.

This set of tactics is a bit complicated for today's people.

So Chang Sheng didn't expect to see results in a short time.

before that. Let the ugly win first...

※※※

September 25th, the fourth round of the league.

Getafe hosts Extremadura away.

What surprised everyone in this game was that Luis Garcia, who was said to be in poor condition during training, actually won!

At first, everyone thought that Luis Garcia, a player on loan, might just be playing as a substitute for the team. Basically, don't want to get too many playing opportunities.

Who would have thought that it was only the fourth round, and he would appear on the stage!

Is Popovich injured?

no, no.

Popovich sat well on the bench and showed no signs of injury.

And the media did not report about Popovich's injury before the game.

Then why Luis Garcia?

This adjustment of Chang Sheng made it difficult for everyone to understand.

Many people simply think that replacing Luis Garcia, who is not in good form, with Popovich, who is not bad, is a big failure for Changsheng.

Subsequent games seemed to bear this out.

Getafe in the away game continued to stick to the penalty area, as if completely ignoring the negative criticism of their tactics from the media headed by "Marca".

The defense has maintained Getafe's consistent level, but on offense, it can only make people shake their heads.

Getafe's offense is not smooth.

Originally, their counterattack was very simple and direct, but sharp. Soon a shot can be formed, and then the big man Charisteas in front of the goal threatens the opponent's goal.

But today, there are fewer such scenes in the counterattack.

Instead, I saw Luis Garcia constantly seeking breakthroughs.

"Ah! Luis Garcia conceded the ball again! This time his pass was a bit late, and he was forced into a dead end..." the commentator Crespo shouted.

He has yelled like this several times.

He also couldn't understand what Chang Sheng wanted Luis Garcia to do...

Is he really here to help the team's offense, not the opponent's undercover agent?

Many reporters in the media seats laughed when they saw this scene.

Chang Sheng's brain was cramped, and he actually made such a stupid adjustment.

But for them, this is a good thing, because they have another reason to attack Chang Sheng - as the enemies of Chang Sheng, they are happy to see Chang Sheng suffer. Even the reporters who stayed behind thought so too.

After all, the grievances between them and Chang Sheng are not so easy to resolve. (To be continued..)
