Chapter 247 The Counterfeit Tiki-Taka

Chang Sheng thought hard.

He stared at the name of the manager of Mallorca.

Luis Aragones...

Suddenly, Chang Sheng's eyes lit up.

He rang a thing.

Before Aragones became the head coach of the Spanish national team, for a long time, his coaching results were mediocre, and there were no outstanding results.

His best coaching performance was at Atletico Madrid.

But after he became the head coach of the national team, the Spanish national team has undergone earth-shaking changes under his leadership.

The former Spanish national team had a not-so-nice nickname: "King of Qualifiers" and "King of Group Stage".

Although it doesn't sound good, it shows that Spain's results in the group stage and qualifiers are very good.

However, after Aragones came to power, the Spanish national team did not have the demeanor of the "king of qualifiers" at all.

Lithuania, Bosnia and Herzegovina kept drawing with Serbia and Montenegro in the seventh group of the German World Cup European qualifiers. As a result, Serbia and Montenegro were squeezed into the second place and had to play two rounds of play-offs with Slovakia.

That Spanish team did not play the beautiful football they are good at.

But in the World Cup, this Spanish team played better and better, and finally won the championship in the 2008 European Cup.

And he left Spain with a rich legacy. Fixed Spain's tactical play, and since then, Spain has played beautiful football and won championships one after another.

Two European Championships and one World Cup. Won three consecutive international championships. Such achievements can only be looked up to by future generations.

So what caused such a change in Spain?

Not to mention locker room control and personnel management, because it has nothing to do with this Copa del Rey final.

What is useful for Changsheng is the tactical level.

a tactic.

one is not new,

But under the hands of Aragones, the tactics of rejuvenation were revived.

That's -taka.

Chang Sheng felt that he had caught something.

※ ※ ※

-taka has been playing for a long time, since Cruyff coached Barcelona. Barcelona insisted on this style of ball control.

But why has Barcelona been unable to win the championship in European football after Barcelona's dream era? Because at that time -taka was not perfect enough.

In the hands of Rijkaard, -taka has improved compared to before, so they won a Champions League.

But not enough, far from enough.

At that time, everyone did not think that Barcelona's success was due to -taka, and people focused on Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o and other big-name players.

Until 2008, Barcelona's possession tactics were heavily criticized. People think that Barcelona has enough passing and possession, but can't win the game, too many inverted feet, and lack of forward impact. The midfield is too soft, not tough enough...

Barcelona at that time was not like Barcelona later, which became the object of imitation and research by head coaches all over the world.

Even if Barcelona won the Champions League, they did not really conquer world football. There is still a lot of controversy surrounding their title. For example, the people at Arsenal were aggrieved that the referee's penalty for sending off Lehmann shortly after the start of the game was too harsh, which damaged the smoothness and enjoyment of the game, and directly killed the suspense of the game.

If Lehmann hadn't been sent off so early, it's hard to say what happened in the end. To know the Champions League final. Arsenal has been very tenacious, and Barcelona finally won a thrilling victory.

But after Guardiola became Barcelona coach in 2008. All this has changed.

Barcelona turned into a team truly good enough to dominate the world, playing against them can only make the opponent feel hopeless and helpless.

They took their traditions to the extreme.

No one knows if Guardiola has taken any inspiration from Aragones' Spain.

But coincidentally. In 2008, Spain in Aragones defeated strong opponents in the European Cup and finally won the championship. Their football has dazzled many.

So everyone recognizes that the creator of -taka is not Barcelona, ​​not Cruyff, not Van Gaal, not Rijkaard, not Guardiola... but Luis Aragones.

Who created the word -taka? There are many opinions in Spain. Some people say that it was created by Javier Clemente, the former head coach of the Spanish national team. But it is more commonly said that Andres Montes, a sports journalist for Spanish TV station 6, coined the word during the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

"We're playing -taka, -taka," Montes said during Spain's Tunisia match at the World Cup.

As a result, the term spread to the world.

So what exactly does this word mean?

It is generally believed that -taka is an onomatopoeia, which imitates the frequent collision sound of football in dense short passes. It may also be derived from a Spanish juggling implement also called "-taka".

Chang Sheng felt that this was a very good and mature tactic, and he could learn a thing or two from it.

Yes, just like before, he copied the 3R tactics of the Brazil national team in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in order to improve the viewing and power of his team's offense in the counterattack. Now he plans to use -taka to deal with Mallorca's defensive counterattack , Mallorca's defense is not tough, unlike Chelsea in the future, because their defense is full of veterans with rich experience, but poor physical fitness. In this case, -taka will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Of course, Chang Sheng does not think that using -taka can definitely defeat Mallorca, but it is better than continuing to use the well-studied defensive counterattack.

In this chapter (Xiongba) he will temporarily adopt a tactic that Getafe has never used before, and he lacks understanding. This is my chance.

As for whether his team can learn this new tactic within a week... Chang Sheng is not worried at all, because he has a system.

He will not copy the -taka that later generations are familiar with, because -taka needs matching players. It’s not that if you know something, you can copy it. Otherwise, the world football world in the future will not be so-taka? Who doesn't like such a good tactic to play well to win the audience and win the championship? Why not? Just because not every team can use -taka. Even in Barcelona, ​​if you want to play -taka to the extreme, you need the right players, and it just so happens. At that time, Barcelona had such a group of suitable players.

Chang Shengde formulates his own tactics based on his actual situation and then refers to -taka.

※ ※ ※

-taka requires players on the team to have excellent ball handling ability, excellent passing ability, and good running ability. There must also be a high degree of tacit understanding.

Getafe's excellent passing ability is lacking. Only Mista and Luis Garcia's passing is considered good, especially Luis Garcia, who used to focus on dribbling the ball. Under Chang Sheng's training—in fact, under the influence of training skills—his passing ability has improved rapidly. Otherwise, how could he have so many assists in the league?

The passing ability of others can only be said to be average, not too bad, but not too good.

The ability to handle the ball is the same as the ability to pass the ball. There are few top-notch people, at most they are hovering on the average level.

This is a big problem for Getafe to implement -taka.

But Chang Sheng didn't expect to copy -taka directly. In some places, just make do with it.

Changsheng's passing and ball-handling ability intends to make up for it with running ability.

Compared with Getafe's ordinary ball control and passing ability, their running ability is a must.

for a long time. Chang Sheng insists on using the skills of [primary physical fitness and aerobic training] to train the team. In addition, he pays special attention to physical fitness and body, so the physical fitness of the players is very good.

Especially running ability.

Defensive counterattack also requires a strong running ability. The offensive player has to sprint back and forth, and the defensive player also keeps running to defend.

This makes Getafe's running ability very prominent.

Bad pass? Can't pass the amazing ball of Barcelona and the Spanish national team?

It doesn't matter, in fact, the passes of Barcelona and the Spanish national team are just ordinary short passes. What excellent passing skills are needed, just an ordinary short pass, and you can send the football to your teammates.

Because the receiving object will always appear in a place that makes the passer very comfortable, this is the so-called triangle area.

Any three players must form a triangle on the court, which is convenient for teammates to pass the ball. Because the triangle is angled, it can avoid defenses.

Poor ball control?

It doesn't matter, run more, pass more, pass the ball faster, increase the time the ball is rolling, and reduce the time the ball stays under the feet, and use running to make up for this possession time. That is to let the football run away from the players, and then run by itself. In this way, it will be much easier.

At most it's just a little tired...

But Getafe has a very big advantage in this regard. Therefore, Chang Sheng intends to use running to replace all passing and control skills.

As for the degree of tacit understanding... Getafe doesn't have this problem anymore.

Although the Getafe team has only played together for one year, don't forget that when Lin Mo was in the second level, there was a training skill called [Match Training Teamwork Elementary], and the function of this skill is to increase The tacit understanding of the players increases the speed of their tacit understanding by ten percent!

Chang Sheng obtained several of this skill while doing missions.

With continuous use, although this Getafe team has only played together for one year, it is basically equivalent to having the tacit understanding of other teams for three years.

※ ※ ※

To use -taka there are several keys as follows.

First, keep football under your feet at all times. That's why both the Spanish national team and Barcelona have a high percentage of possession in the game. Sometimes even as high as seventy-nine percent. Holding the ball at the feet can reduce the process of offensive and defensive transitions and reduce some mistakes that occur during offensive and defensive transitions. The football is always at your feet, and you can naturally control the attack and defense as you like.

Chang Sheng didn't intend to do this, and he couldn't do it either. He intends to use passing and running to get there. There may not be a lot of time when football is controlled under one's feet. But there must be a feeling that football is always under Getafe's control. That's it.

The second point is to keep passing and running.

This is not a problem for Getafe. What Getafe is best at is running away. His players are always exceptionally good at running.

The third point is to put the defense line very forward, close to the midfield line. This is done because -taka is a tactic that pays attention to passing and controlling, especially passing. If the back line is too far from the midfield and the front field, it will affect the quality of the pass. Because the distance is too far. The quality of the pass will plummet, and the quality of the pass is directly proportional to the distance of the pass. The closer the distance, the higher the quality of the pass and vice versa. Most of the passes between Barcelona and the Spanish national team are short passes of about 15 to 20 meters. This distance is the most reasonable. Passing accuracy is highest at this distance.

A basic principle in the game is that the running distance of the player to catch the ball is generally about 15 meters, but not more than 20 meters. European professional players can pass the ball within 10 to 15 meters under tight defense. The error is within 1 meter. The rate is more than 80%, and the ball is passed to 20 meters. The success rate will be less than 60% if the error is within one meter, and about 20% if the error is 25 meters.

If the line of defense is advanced, this distance can be shortened, so that the pass of the defenders is no longer just blindly destroying the ball.

But if Changsheng wants to advance the defense line. Beware of Mallorca's Samuel Eto'o, the cheetah. Leaving too much space behind the defense will give him the opportunity to take advantage of his speed.

To this. Chang Sheng intends to use offside to deal with Eto'o. It just so happened that he got the game skill [Offside Trap], and he appeared just for this game!

The success rate of the back line causing offsides in the game will be directly increased by 10%!

fourth point. Continuously form a triangle between players to ensure that there is always a point of contact for the ball.

This is no problem. Chang Sheng has already paid attention to this point during practice. Those who travel back will naturally bring back some advanced football concepts. Maybe he has to feel that this is so great. It is enough to emphasize this point in the game.

Fifth point, players in each position must be able to switch positions quickly.

For Getafe, their offensive combination often does this in offense, so there is no need for special training. It's just that the ability of the midfielders to change positions quickly is not good, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, the normal victory didn't want to copy the -taka of Barcelona and the Spanish national team intact.

Sixth, create space for your teammates. This requires the passer to have a wide vision and the ability to transfer long passes, as well as the receiver's running position and the matching rhythm between the two.

This is not a big problem for Getafe to complete. Broad vision and long pass transfer ability are not a problem for Getafe, which is good at defensive counterattacks, because this is the quality they must have. The dovetail between running and passing, too. In defensive counterattack, this is very important.

Seventh point, the strong assists of the two full-backs.

Needless to say, Balzaretti's assist ability, Rondo also has four assists this season. Barely meets this requirement. But still the same sentence, Changsheng does not require his team to copy -taka 100% perfect, it is enough to have one side with strong assists, it is better than neither side.

Eighth point, after losing the ball, the frontcourt players must counterattack, compress and press the opponent as soon as possible.

In this regard, Guardiola explained: "If you grab the ball in the frontcourt, you only need to run 30 meters to shoot. If you grab it in the backcourt, you have to run 80 meters."

This is no problem for Getafe either.

Getafe has been doing this kind of thing all the time. He has always asked the frontcourt players to fight back on the spot after losing the ball in front.

The ninth point, which is considered the most important point, requires players with sufficient skills.

Getafe don't have that many highly skilled players.

But Changsheng also doesn't need as many highly skilled players, and he will make up for it with running, discipline and tactics.

He wants to make a ****-taka out.
