Chapter 788

West of Manchester, United's Carrington training base.

In the manager's office, Ferguson and the coaching staff, who have just returned from London, are watching the match between Manchester City and Chelsea at home. In the live TV broadcast, the referee Webb blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

The top left corner of the live video shows a shocking score for everyone.

Three to zero!

In international practice, the home team is in the front and the visiting team is in the back.

Kaka scored the Premier League's first goal, Cristiano Ronaldo's one pass and one shot, Sanchez's two assists, Benzema's one goal and Manchester City's excellent performance.

Needless to say, the offensive players in the front court can feel their strength from the data, and the combination of David Silva, Modric and Xavi Alonso in the middle field also shows strong organization.

The defensive line of Mascherano completely frozen Robinho, Harvey Martinez and kompani against the attacking players of Chelsea, the performance is also commendable, but the goalkeeper Cech, the whole first half felt a little idle.

The biggest attraction of this game is Kaka, who started in the Premier League for the first time.

As early as in the summer training period, everyone said that the cold relies on Kaka, but the Brazilian midfield just joined the operation, absent for a few months, which is a great blow to Manchester City.

But actually, no one knows how big it is.

There are even many people who have doubts about Kaka, because it is obviously a question whether a player who has undergone major surgery can return to his best condition.

As a matter of fact, Kaka has not recovered to his best. It is difficult for him to keep the momentum of his peak, but now he seems to be playing more introverted, smarter and more threatening.

I believe that after this game, there will be no doubt about alpine, Manchester City or Kaka.

At least from the first half of the 45 minutes of the game, the cold Manchester City played an unprecedented smooth offensive, created a strong offensive firepower, and even called the Premier League's first iron team, Chelsea were unable to resist, losing three goals in a row.

Although every game on the football field is different and can't be compared, Ferguson has to ask himself that if Manchester City meet this game, Manchester United will lose worse than Chelsea in the first half.

Ferguson sighed softly at the thought.

He once told Gao Han that he should teach a lesson to Chelsea, shame on Rijkaard and defend the dignity of the head coach, but he didn't expect that Gao Han's lesson was so thorough that even he was afraid.

"In the first half, Chelsea's midfield was completely lost, let alone counterattack. They couldn't even stop the penetration of Manchester City's pass. If Scolari didn't adjust in time, he might lose again in the second half."

Assistant coach Mike pelan also sighed deeply and said helplessly.

Anyone who comes across such a state burst of Manchester City will have to be lucky.

"Adjustment? How to adjust? Control with Manchester City? Don't be silly. If you can't get it, you will lose your position. "

"Isn't it? In the first half, didn't Chelsea defend, but did they

"The strength of Manchester City is really based on the midfield. Their passing and controlling play makes Essien, Lampard and Ballack like a blind fly, unable to organize effective defense. This is a serious problem."

"Kaka's comeback is the key to the release of David Silva and Modric. They have a wider range of running and a wider range of activities, which greatly activates their ability to organize the ball and makes it more difficult for Manchester City to defend the penetration of the whole center and front court

"Can we do the opposite and strengthen the attack?"

"Attack?"

"Yes, strengthen the attack in the middle and front court, such as replacing Arshavin to strengthen the ability to take the ball in the middle and front court."

"This is feasible, Mascherano back to the back line, Manchester City midfield defensive thickness I'm afraid..."

While everyone was talking about it, Ferguson, who had been silent all along, suddenly shook his head and said, "it's impossible!"

impossible?

Everyone looked at Ferguson strangely, only to see the old Scot slowly open his eyes.

"Your thinking logic is very similar to Scolari's, or stay in the past experience, did not see through the cold tactics, if replaced by Arshavin, with the Russian input in the defensive end, I am afraid that Chelsea will die more miserable, at least not better than the first half."

The crowd looked at each other, wondering what Ferguson meant.

When Ferguson saw it, he sighed and felt helpless, because he knew very well how advanced the concept of alpine cold was.

"Over the years, all the strong teams in European football are eager to have a full-time defender like Essien or Mascherano in the midfield, so as to consolidate the defensive hardness of the midfield and play the role of protecting the midfield and defense."

Everyone nodded, almost all teams, especially in the Premier League.

"But have you ever thought that alpine has been trying to cut off a full-time defensive midfield player over the years

Ferguson said so, people think about it, can not help but have some insight.

When Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid, it was Harvey Alonso who was behind, but there were also midfielders like Marcos Senna in the midfield. When he arrived at Chelsea, there were also top midfielders like Makelele.

However, whether it is Marcos Senna or Makelele, they have a good ability to take the ball and out.

But after Chelsea, he took a year's rest. It is said that in that year, he calmly thought about the future football trend. After his comeback, when he was coaching Inter Milan, the three middle games were Cambiasso, Veron and Figo, and Cambiasso was delayed alone.

I still remember that many people doubted whether the cold three field combination could work. They were worried that it would be exploded every minute. However, it turned out that this combination not only failed to be exploded, but also won everything for Inter.

If there is a black and hard Yaya Toure in the period of Inter Milan, then in Bayern Munich, he seems to be going further, transforming the original winger Schweinsteiger, introducing Modric and promoting bidal.

Among the three men, bidal's range of activities is quite advanced. He was introduced as a versatile player in the back court, but in the end he was used as an offensive player in the front court by alpine cold, which made the Chilean midfield famous.

It is said that the reason why Sanchez chose to join Manchester city without hesitation after receiving the cold call is that bidal praised the cold in front of him more than once, which made Sanchez heart beating.

But now, in Manchester City, the high cold has pushed all this to a higher point.

Xabi Alonso, David Silva, Modric and Kaka do not have a full-time defensive player. They are all offensive players who attack the strong and defend the weak.

But in this way, how can Manchester City guarantee the defence of the midfield?

Looking back on the first few rounds of this season, Manchester City's defense has always been very solid. Some even criticized Gao Han as a conservative one to zero doctrine, referring to Manchester City's attack rather than defense.

Ferguson paid attention to the look of his assistants and sighed when he saw what they had got.

"Compared with the mainstream playing method of the European top league, alpine's defensive concept is obviously higher. What he pursues is the rate of arrival. Whether it's attack or defense, he requires every player to run to the most appropriate position in time."

"To put it bluntly, the football game is not complicated at all. No matter how many offensive and defensive patterns you play, you are essentially emphasizing one point, that is, how to create the number advantage in the local area. When defending, you can use the local number advantage to compress the opponent's offensive space, and when attacking, you can use the local number advantage to broaden the offensive space of your own team."

"And we all know that only when there is space on the pitch can you have a choice. If you lose space, even if you have the right to play, you don't have a choice."

"Alpine pursuit of the arrival rate is to all the players of the team can appear in time in his position, and then create local number advantage."

"In defense, with the advantage of local number of players, the cooperation of players is in place, whether full-time defensive players are not important, whether the team defends firmly depends on the whole; But on the offensive side, this group of offensive players with outstanding technology and creativity can play a huge role, especially when they create a local advantage

Ferguson's words, as if to the top, shocked the United coaching staff.

Isn't it?

Now the mainstream play methods have begun to pursue the running distance, and many data analysis companies have begun to list the running distance among the most important data, but unexpectedly, the alpine has gone beyond this category.

Or it should be said that the running distance is the basis of his tactical concept, not the pursuit. His real pursuit is the arrival rate.

And if that's what Ferguson said, then this city is terrible, isn't it?

"Scolari doesn't have the first-line coaching experience of club events. He has been coaching the national team for many years, which makes his concept far behind the pace of the times, let alone catch up with the cold."

Ferguson doesn't seem to like Scolari at all.

"He thought that with Ballack, Essien and Lampard, the midfield of the team would be stable, which may be useful for other teams, but in the face of high cold, it is not at all. It doesn't even need to be Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, so Chelsea have to finish."

The tactical development of the national team is far behind that of the Club League, which is a fact universally acknowledged by all.

The Champions League represents the most advanced technical and tactical level in the current world football, even far beyond the world cup and the European Cup.

Scolari has been coaching the national team for a long time. He wants to coach the Premier League with the technical and tactical concept of the national team. This is undoubtedly asking for trouble. He can't play at all. He is out of date!

Ferguson asked himself that he could not catch up with the pace of the cold, and his Manchester United could not do as much as Manchester City, but he has been competing with the cold for a long time, and he has been coaching in the European top league, and the trend is still clear.

"You'll see. If Scolari is more conservative and sticks to the half in the second half, maybe Chelsea can save face in this game, but if he plays with Arshavin as you say, he will die even worse."

"At the end of the day, it's a contest that's no longer on the same dimension."

Just after Ferguson's words, the live video of the game returned to the city stadium.

After a 15 minute break, the players of the two teams returned to the court under the leadership of chief referee Weber. After exchanging the fields, they set up their own positions.

This time it was Manchester City who took the lead.

But everyone noticed that Scolari had changed.

Replaced the first half performance is low, mediocre Ballack, replaced the Russian International Arshavin.

Right in the first half, Ferguson sneered.

He also wanted to know whether he could guess the second half correctly.
