Eight Hundred and Ninety-Three He Really Looks Like Messi!

On the training ground, Manchester City's players were divided into two groups for an internal match.

One of the groups used a four-three-three formation, which is a signature tactic of Manchester City, with Aguero as the center, Di Maria and Sanchez on the flanks, which is also the standard configuration of Manchester City, but Aguero replaced Sudong .

The other group used a three-four-three formation, with Harvey Martinez at the back, Pepe and David Luiz on either side, and Hazard, Dzeko and Douglas Costa at the front. , the midfielder is complemented by David Silva.

Since it was an internal competition, Guardiola just arranged two different sets of tactics to make clear his ideas and let the players play freely on the court, which greatly improved the enthusiasm of the players.

The two groups of players played very unrestrainedly on the court, and they played very openly on the scene, and no one wanted to keep their hands.

Everyone can see that this is a test for them by coach Guardiola.

Whether it is a new aid or an old player, they are all working hard. If you want to leave a deep impression on the head coach in this game, it is best to establish yourself as the main force during the summer training camp. Got to play as a substitute during the season.

It is with this kind of thought in mind that the players in both groups played very hard.

Every player is doing their best to show themselves.

Not to mention the players in the frontcourt, basically as long as they get the ball, they try their best to play to their own advantages.

This also made the game on the field very good, and frequently won warm applause from the sidelines.

...

Su Dong did not participate in the game today, but stood on the sidelines and stood with the coaching staff.

This also shows Sudong's unique and detached position in Manchester City.

For the players on the court, Sudong and Guardiola are already very familiar with them. The real target of investigation is the new players, such as Xavi Martinez.

Long before he joined Manchester City, Guardiola had spoken to him on the phone, and even met in Spain, so Xavi Martinez knew very well Guardiola's positioning and plans for him, and he also wanted Try to change your style of play. After all, with his current characteristics, he cannot play the core of the team.

But if he can play in the back line, as planned by Guardiola, he will be the core of the team's defense, and his weight and status will also be greatly improved. He can clearly distinguish this point.

Since I have known it for a long time, Harvey Martinez seems to be able to play a central defender with ease. Coupled with his own technical characteristics, he is able to play with ease, but there is still a clear lack of tacit understanding, which needs more time. sanded.

In the frontcourt, Aguero played the role of scorer in the four-three-three formation, and he performed well. Several threatening shots and goals were very characteristic. Front olfactory, are very keen striker.

I believe his joining can greatly improve Manchester City's scoring ability, especially when Su Dong is absent.

With a stable substitute like Aguero, I believe that the pressure of Su Dong's competition in the new season will be reduced a lot.

For example, in some games that are not very important, or in multi-line battles, Aguero can be on his own to prevent Su Dong from fighting continuously, which in turn affects his state.

It was Eden Hazard and Douglas Costa that really caught the attention of Sudong and Guardiola.

The latter is actually not much to say, is sticky ball, a typical Brazilian breakthrough player.

Instead, it was Azar.

"He's really like Messi." Su Dong only watched the ball for a while, and then he could see his way clearly.

Short stature, low center of gravity, very flexible, quick stop and go, excellent speed change, accustomed to using small steps to adjust, coupled with excellent foot skills, these all give Hazard a very good ability to dribble and break through.

Especially in a narrow range, he is able to beat the ball out of the encirclement frequently.

It's like on the court at this moment, every time Hazard dribbles the ball, he can break through continuously.

The opponent's defense line was in chaos.

"But there is still a clear gap between him and Messi." Su Dong quickly said again.

Su Dong has played with Messi for many years. He is very aware of Messi's characteristics. After watching Hazard's play, he clearly knows the difference between the two, especially Hazard and Messi. gap between.

"The main thing is shooting and passing." Guardiola said in one sentence.

"Yeah." Su Dong nodded.

Messi is a very special person, just like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Don't think that this is some kind of so-called blood theory, or some other statement, but a fact.

Messi grew up in Argentina since he was a child. When he was a child, he received the same set of youth training education in Argentina, which gave him delicate foot skills and outstanding combination of man and ball. He knows how to give full play to his own characteristics and advantages. .

After arriving in Europe, Messi received the most formal youth training in Europe, and constantly improved the shortcomings of Argentina's youth training, such as instability and the like, and Messi's passing ability is also the world's top.

This is always underestimated by many people.

If Messi doesn't break through, just pass the ball, he will never lose to either Iniesta or Xavi, and he will definitely be a top passer in the world, with the ball at high speed. pass.

And that's something Hazard doesn't have.

The other is shooting. Messi has practiced shooting in recent years, but Hazard can't see it now.

The two have a lot in common. For example, their bodies are not strong enough, and their speed is not fast enough. Breaking through with the ball relies on changing directions and flexibility, but the problem lies in passing. Hazard's passing is much inferior to Messi.

That is to say, after breaking through, Messi can keenly catch the gap and pass the ball out, but Hazard can't.

Sometimes the media and fans love statistics, such as dribbles.

But in fact, the head coach often has to consider not the number of dribbles, but what can dribbles bring?

A pass on the sidewalk is far less important than a pass at the front of the big penalty area.

Ten successful dribbles, but failed to create a threatening pass after dribbling, and one successful dribble can create a threatening pass, obviously the latter has greater tactical significance and is what the coach attaches the most to.

Therefore, pure data is relatively meaningless. What really needs to be considered is the position of passing people and the effect after passing people.

Obviously, Messi is better.

Whether it is extraordinary position or extraordinary effect, Messi is better than Hazard.

"At most, he creates threats in the ribs, such as the corner of the penalty area, and attracts defensive attention by dribbling the ball. The effect is far less sharp and comprehensive than Messi." Su Dong analyzed.

Hazard looks more like a typical European technical genius, while Messi is the Europeanization of South American technical genius, and he belongs to the type of one plus one more than two. Both of them play very reasonable, but Messi The footwork is more delicate and the ball feel is better.

This actually benefits from Messi's experience, which cannot be learned and replicated by other players.

Even if you find some people, like Messi, who received youth training in Argentina or Brazil as a child, and then come to Europe when they grow up, it will be difficult to train a second Messi.

The same goes for Cristiano Ronaldo.

He's of African descent, he has fast-twitch fibers, he's very fast, he's very muscular, and he's in Madeira, which, as everyone knows, is a transit point for South America, Africa, and Europe.

At that time, Maritimo gathered a lot of Brazilian players, such as Pepe.

It was in this environment that Ronnie sculpted his own skills, and then with the improvement of age and Ferguson's sculpting, he found his own set of play, which is the current style of play, and achieved peak.

Don't underestimate Ronnie, thinking he's a power guy, but in fact, his footwork is still very good.

The so-called poor is relative to the technical genius of Messi's level. Compared with other players, Ronnie's foot skills are still very good.

However, this bastard increasingly likes to rely on his body, speed, and explosiveness to solve problems.

No way, who gave him his incredible speed and explosiveness due to his African-American ancestry?

Su Dong feels that in a few years, with the decline in speed and explosiveness, Ronnie is expected to transform into a scorer.

At least, it is impossible for him to go back to the age of dribbling and bells and whistles.

Character and achievement do not allow it, neither do the muscles of the body.

Can not go back!

If it is said that the unique experiences of Messi and Ronnie have allowed them to mix a variety of different advantages, then Hazard is a typical European technical genius, with spirituality, but it still seems quite satisfactory.

"How far do you think it can be achieved?" Guardiola asked.

Su Dong shook his head, "I can't tell, but I can roughly guess that there is no problem in dealing with the Premier League, and the Champions League group stage should be able to cope, but when it comes to the Champions League knockout stage, I'm afraid it will be greatly reduced, and the further back you are. , the effect will be weaker, and using him as the core is still not strong enough!"

Guardiola laughed when he heard it, "I think so too."

The so-called strong is actually the kind of strong that can lead a team to break through alone.

Looking at the entire European football, there are only a handful of players with such strength.

Sudong, Ronnie, Messi, what else?

Probably no more!

The Brazilian genius Neymar, who is being passed on by many people outside, has such potential, even more potential than Hazard, because he has a lot of things that Hazard lacks.

But for now, just the three of them!

It's not that Su Dong and Guardiola's vision is too high, but that they have both experienced the Champions League and know what kind of defensive intensity it is in the Champions League knockout.

Not to mention, the coaches who entered the Champions League knockout stage played targeted tactics, which was absolutely fatal.

Without absolute tyrannical strength, which one can lead the team to explode the opponent's defense?

You know, on the football field, after all, you still have to rely on strength to speak.

Those stupid things don't work at all on the football field.

Therefore, Hazard's position in Manchester City was finalized after the first training game.
