Chapter 554： Get Messi

Yang Huan understood what Bielsa meant.

In fact, this is also the problem encountered by Atletico Madrid coach Simeone.

That is, Atletico Madrid needs to improve its ability and means of breaking dense defense.

Therefore, Simeone also intends to introduce a player with single point breakthrough ability in the midfield this summer.

"Lao Bei, do you mean that the ability to break dense defense is a measure of the true level of a team?"

Bielsa nodded heavily, "With the advent of the era of commercialization, with the entry of big capital, especially since the implementation of the Bosman Act, the mobility of players has become greater and greater, and the rich and powerful teams have more resources to go. If you hoard high-level stars, the gap between strengths and weaknesses will become increasingly wide."

"In the case of a huge disparity in strength, the weak team wants to defeat the strong team, they must only adopt overall intensive defensive tactics. Even in many important games, including the Champions League, including the World Cup, utilitarian tactics are becoming more and more popular. The overall intensive defense is increasingly proving to be an effective weapon for winning."

"So, the ability to break dense defenses will become more and more important!"

When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help feeling from the heart, and looked at Bielsa in admiration.

The Argentine madman's tactical accomplishments are indeed admirable and thought-provoking. No wonder Guardiola was inspired by him after talking to him for a while, and after returning to Spain, he created the Dream Three dynasty.

Looking at Guardiola's dream team, the means to break the intensive defense are indeed very rich.

Through high-intensity frontcourt press and pressure, cut off the opponent's passing line, after seizing the ball, immediately counterattack in the frontcourt. Players such as Xavi, Iniesta and Messi belong to After getting the ball, one person can complete the offensive and defensive transition.

In this case, against Barcelona, ​​once the opponent intercepts the ball in the frontcourt, it is a fatal threat!

Once the frontcourt counterattack failed to threaten, Barcelona immediately returned, stabilized the rhythm, entered the ball-handling mode, and returned to the foot patiently and slowly, pulling the defense line, allowing the opponent to expose the flaws in the formation movement.

These two models, coupled with the excellent personal abilities of the Barcelona players, created the Grand Slam dynasty of the Dream Three team.

"Then... Lao Bei, according to you, the stronger a team's ability to break dense defenses and the richer the means, the stronger theoretically, is that true?"

Bielsa nodded, "Yes, it is true in theory, but the formation of a team is more complicated. For example, what we call the ability to break dense defenses must be integrated into the team's overall tactics. Go and be part of the team's tactics, otherwise... Real Madrid is a lesson!"

Yang Huan even understood this.

As Bielsa said, it involves very, very complicated, and even professional football knowledge. He is a fan who can only be regarded as a senior at best, and he can't expect to be able to figure it out.

I really figured it out, I'm afraid he can coach a team alone!

"So according to what you said, don't players who have the ability to break dense defenses become more and more valuable?"

Bielsa nodded heavily again, "You are very correct!"

"According to you, the offensive and defensive transition is mainly completed in the midfield. Isn't the future development trend of midfielders going to be all-around with both offense and defense?" Yang Huan thought deeper.

Unexpectedly, Bielsa shook his head, "Yes, not right!"

"How to say?"

"Why does Yaya Toure have such a high tactical value to allow Manchester City to build a midfielder around him? Because he can complete the entire process from defense to offense and defense to offense alone!"

Yang Huan understood a little bit.

"The same is true for Modric. Although he doesn't look as strong as Yaya Toure, he also has the ability to complete the entire process alone, and in our team, currently, he can do this. At one point, James Rodriguez's defensive ability needs to be improved, and Isco's defense and his passing awareness also need to continue to improve."

"On the contrary, it is Pogba. I think he has great potential in this area. In fact, I have been strengthening Pogba's ability in this area for some time. Vacic, if he grows up, he will also have the ability to become a superstar player who can break dense defensive weapons."

Yang Huan was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that there were so many treasures in the team.

He also remembered it secretly in his heart. From now on, these players will not be sold by anyone and must remain in the team.

But soon, Yang Huan thought of another question.

"What about Tony Cross and Matic?"

"They are another type of midfielder. They may not be able to rely on their personal abilities to complete the entire transition process from defense to offense with the ball, but they have excellent passing ability, especially Tony Cross, He can do it by passing, but it's faster and more efficient!"

"What about Vidal?" Yang Huan continued to ask with interest.

"Vidal is a player with both offensive and defensive capabilities, but his upper limit is very clear. He can play a huge role on both offensive and defensive ends, but he cannot complete the offensive and defensive transition unless he can further refine his skills and improve. My own way of playing, but it's very difficult and very difficult!"

From Bielsa's words, Yang Huan understood his perception of Vidal.

"Lao Bei, listening to you say this, I'm thinking, I just want it purely!" Yang Huan laughed and explained first.

"If the entire midfielder in our team gathers a group of players who can complete offensive and defensive transitions alone and break the intensive defense ability alone, and combine these players into a whole, wouldn't it be super?"

When Bielsa heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head, "It's not that simple, how about defense?"

Seeing Yang Huan stunned for a moment, Bielsa seemed a little smug, and he laughed.

To be honest, he admires the courage and imagination of Young Master Huan very much, but football is a profound knowledge and it is not possible to solve all problems for granted.

"Theoretically, Iniesta is a perfect offensive and defensive player with outstanding personal abilities and excellent passing ability. But why do you have Harvey? Why do you have Busquets? , Why is there Messi in front?"

"Eleven Iniesta, even if they are combined into a whole, they will not win the championship!"

But who is Master Huan?

How could he be frightened by a word?

Although he knew in his heart that Bielsa made a lot of sense, but who ruled that players with offensive and defensive conversion and intensive defense capabilities would not be willing to defend?

It's like Gareth Bale, who was born as a left-back and has plenty of physical fitness. After playing a right-winger, he is also very active in defense in the Southampton frontcourt!

In addition, as seen in the previous life, Real Madrid’s Di Maria, after transitioning to midfield, has very eye-catching defensive data and has a strong midfield dribbling ability. Such a player also meets Bielsa's requirements.

Oh, yes, there are excellent last pass players.

Speaking of which, the worst in the Southampton team is undoubtedly the last pass.

Tony Kroos and Modric’s passing ability are indeed excellent, but when it comes to the last pass, it is needless to say that it is compared with a master player like Harvey, even if it is compared with David Silva and France. The last pass masters like Bregas and Özil are still inferior.

Of course, this has a certain relationship with their position.

If you can get Iniesta, then...

Oops, the picture is so beautiful that people can't bear to look directly at it!

But soon, Yang Huan remembered another bolder possibility.

When he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but smile, and he felt quite nonsensical.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem, Master Huan?"

When Bielsa saw Yang Huan smiling, he was a little puzzled. What's so funny?

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Yang joyfully hehe, still smiling.

After seeing Bielsa's puzzled expression, Yang Huan decided to confess and be more lenient.

"I was thinking, what do you say if Messi is brought over?"

"Messi?" Bielsa was silly.

"how can that be?"

Yang Huan looked like I knew you would say that, and shook his head helplessly: "I mean, what if!"

"Oh, if Messi is here, I'm afraid it will be choking."

"How do you say?" Yang Huan came interested.

"If Messi is playing in the front midfield, he must win Ibrahimovic. Not to mention his technical characteristics in the Premier League, how much he can play, this is also a big question."

Yang Huan thinks it makes sense that the Premier League's frontcourt center is not so easy to deal with.

Many central defenders in the Premier League are synonymous with brutality, and they won't show you any pity.

With Messi's quick and quick play style, if you come to the Premier League, it is definitely no problem to adapt. After all, the team will build tactics around him, but how much level can be played at the peak is a problem.

Besides, Barcelona still refuses to sell, and Messi may not be willing to go!

"I think if Messi comes to the team, he can only retreat, get closer to the midfield, and play to his advantage, but in this way, I am afraid there will be no way to score as many goals as now."

Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded again and again.

For superstar players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, transfers are very troublesome. Unless you are willing to build tactics around them, it is difficult to succeed.

The most obvious is that Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea is a lesson learned!

No way, how can there be good things in this world that are perfect and come true?

If you really want to take advantage of everything, then others are still alive?

Yang Huan secretly sighed with regret, letting go of his hope for Messi.

But Bielsa looked at Yang Huan seriously, and asked very puzzled: "Master Huan, you don't really intend to introduce Messi?"

He has recently heard rumors that Messi wants to leave Barcelona on a transfer.

To say that the current Southampton really needs to be hands-on, it can be regarded as a strong competitor of Messi.

Moreover, from the perspective of the club, the introduction of Messi is undoubtedly a strong guarantee for the fastest to secure the position of the giants!

It's just on the tactical level, it's a bit troublesome!

"Me? Introducing Messi?" Yang Huan smiled bitterly, "I think, but is it realistic?"

Bielsa also smiled, but fortunately, Master Huan was not confused.

A superstar is a double-edged sword. With Ibrahimovic in Southampton, there is no need to provoke Messi!

Just as Yang Huan and Bielsa were thinking about things in their own minds, Yang Huan's cell phone rang untimely.

Take it out of my pocket and see, I wiped it, it turned out to be my own senior sister Su Jingyan!

Sudden call, what's the situation?

Frankly speaking, Yang Huan was a little scared of this sturdy senior, because he couldn't figure out her relationship with Yang Huan before.

But the phone is coming, you still have to answer it!
