Chapter 1064： To make it die, make it mad

Tactical system, this is a term that is increasingly being valued.

But many people still don't understand why a stable tactical system is becoming more and more important.

I believe no one will deny that in the past, present, and future, professional football is constantly developing in the direction of integration. Even for a genius superstar like Messi, his outstanding performance must be built on the team as a whole. Based on.

Even a star with characteristics like Cristiano Ronaldo must also be built on the premise of the team as a whole.

Either the team serves you, or you serve the team.

Since it is an overall sport, the coordination of the eleven players on the court is crucial.

How to knead these eleven players into a whole, twist them into a rope on the court, unify their thoughts, and advance and retreat together, this has undoubtedly become a major problem that all teams must face.

In the past few years, Manchester City has introduced strong players and good cards, but why does it always give people a feeling of weakness? Always fail to get the results it deserves?

The answer is simple, lack of a whole!

The Chinese have a good saying that one chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks are not easy.

As long as the eleven players can be twisted into a single rope on the football field, then this team is not much different. Any team that wants to defeat such an opponent has to work hard, let alone defeat it. Up.

Even more integrated teams can often perform dark horse miracles.

It's like Rehagel's Greece, Mourinho's Porto, and Leicester City this season.

But this is simple to say, but it is very difficult to achieve.

Because of a person, the least easily controlled is thought!

Every professional player who can mix into the top European leagues and gain a firm foothold must have his own uniqueness.

One can imagine how difficult it is to control the thoughts of these people.

It can even be said that it is impossible!

But is there a way to regulate the actions of these people on the football field?

The answer is yes!

That is a strict tactical system!

Through the meticulous and meticulous tactical system, the players' behavior on the court can be well regulated, so that they know clearly what they should do at any time and anywhere.

Does that mean that the tactical system is killing the creativity of players?

Yes, but not!

Blindly requiring players to stick to the tactical system and not know how to play on the spot is the weakest.

The really smart tactical system is that he can not only provide the team with a stable tactical framework, regulate the players' responsibilities on the court, but also create a relaxed environment for the players.

Is this contradictory?

No, no contradiction.

To put it simply, the tactical system is the bottom line. When a player has no better options on the court, then you follow the tactical system.

Because in this case, decisions made in a hurry are often not good choices, and may even be the worst.

Since this is the case, then you might as well don't choose and follow the tactical system.

Conversely, in the absence of a rigorous tactical system, players can easily lose control on the court, especially when they encounter setbacks and panic.

Just like Real Madrid now.

In the first round of the match, he lost a zero to four at the Glory Stadium in Southampton and returned to the Bernabéu Stadium dingyly. Amidst the shouts of tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans, Real Madrid played like a game of sand.

Are they not working hard enough?

Obviously not, each of them was suffocating to vent and tried their best.

Is that the wrong tactic?

Nor is it.

With a big lag in the first round, Zidane used an aggressive lineup in the second round to give it a go. It is understandable.

Even Zidane learned the lessons of the first leg in the formation. The midfielder eliminated the combination of Modric and Casemiro, with James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale on both wings. The two forwards in the front field are Lewandowski and Benzema.

Although James Rodriguez was on the wing, he was asked to return to midfield to participate in organization and defense.

Gareth Bale, Benzema and Lewandowski switched positions flexibly on the court.

Obviously, Zidane's intention is to use a world-class offensive lineup to suppress Southampton's defense.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Real Madrid chose to play out.

This should be considered a very aggressive set of tactics, and theoretically it is indeed possible to work.

But only in theory.

In fact, on the pitch, Real Madrid's players are seriously inconsistent in execution and are not in harmony with each other.

When Real Madrid attacked with the ball, Gareth Bale, Benzema and Lewandowski were all at the forefront of the team, suppressing Southampton’s defense, waiting for their teammates to pass. In order to launch the attack the first time after the ball.

Even James Rodriguez, who theoretically wants to withdraw to aid the midfielder, stays on the left side of the frontcourt.

This idea is a good thing, and it proves that the players win very strongly.

But the bad thing is that Casemiro and Modric were strongly suppressed by Southampton, and the distance between them and the strikers was too large.

Ancelotti obviously had long expected Real Madrid to rush at home, so the game started with a steady tactic, the focus is still to pinch Modric.

Especially when he realized that the distance between Real Madrid's frontcourt and midfield was a bit unreasonable, he further increased his suppression of Modric and Casemiro.

This directly led to the complete loss of contact between Real Madrid's frontcourt and midfielder, and the ball could not pass in front.

In this way, Real Madrid's offensive effect is greatly reduced.

But if it's just that, then Ancelotti would be underestimated.

In this game, both sides have people suspended because of yellow cards. Southampton is left-back Alaba, while Real Madrid is center-back Pepe, both of whom are vital to the team.

But unlike Zidane's choice of match-up substitutions, Ancelotti made tactical adjustments.

In the first round, Hazard, who had an eye-catching performance in the game, directly topped Carvajal, did not withdraw from the defense, and gave way to Gareth Bale to attack.

At the left-back position, Ancelotti let Luke Shaw focus on defense.

In other words, Southampton gave up his left, which is Real Madrid's right, to allow the opponent to attack.

He knows very well that Real Madrid lacks a rigorous tactical system and lacks patience. When they think they have grasped the opponent's loopholes and want to attack, it is often when their defense is the most loose.

Because at this time, the frontcourt superstars are all pressed up, but it is difficult for the midfield to keep up.

Therefore, Ancelotti’s strategy is very simple. Let go of the left. I am confident that I can defend it because Real Madrid’s frontcourt is not strong in one-on-one breakthroughs. As long as the team tightens its defense, Real Madrid wants It is not easy to break.

But once Real Madrid came up, then their problems in the backcourt were exposed.

There is a saying that is right, the desire of heaven must make it go crazy first!

It turns out that Ancelotti is indeed an old fox.

When the game went to 21 minutes, Real Madrid continued to press on the front court, but Southampton formed a steal.

The ball was quickly transferred to the midfield. Di Maria took the ball and saw Pogba sprint to the right, taking Modric away, while Messi took the opportunity to slant into the top of the penalty area.

Di Maria and Messi cooperated tacitly, and the ball immediately came to Messi's feet.

As soon as Messi took the ball, he accelerated, waded through Casemiro and entered the penalty area, and then passed Ramos, who was rushing to grab the ball, and Suarez quickly followed and pushed directly. Shot, the ball enters the net.

Southampton completed a very sharp and rapid defensive counterattack!

In an instant, the entire Bernabéu stadium became silent!

After losing the ball, Real Madrid counterattacked wildly. Gareth Bale got a kick in the left rib area at the front of the penalty area twice in a row, but was resolved by Luke Shaw and blocked by Neuer. Failed to form an opportunity.

Marcelo also began to actively participate in the attack on the frontcourt, and also got a strong volley from the left front, but Neuer flew to save the crossbar.

Real Madrid looks on the offensive.

But in the 34th minute, Southampton launched another attack.

Di Maria got the ball in midfield, broke through quickly after getting rid of it, and passed straight to the penalty area.

Messi didn't know when to change positions with Suarez. He knocked a pass in the penalty area. Pogba followed from behind and shot directly with his leg and the ball went into the net again!

Two to zero!

Two consecutive goals, completely let the morale of Real Madrid fell into a trough.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that at the Bernabéu Stadium, the Saints could continue their previous excellent performance.

Real Madrid’s players are equally frustrated. They couldn’t understand why they scored so hard, but Southampton scored so easily.

Is it because the teammates behind him are not strong?

Zidane in front of the coaching bench of the main team also looked frustrated. He did not expect that his elaborate tactics would fall short in the end.

The team didn't achieve the effect he wanted at all, and it looked like a mess, fighting on their own.

Especially when one goal is behind, when each of them gets the ball, the first thing they think of is a counterattack, which is an offense.

But the more anxious, the more mistakes it often means.

There is no doubt that the 2-0 in the second round extended the total score of the two rounds to 6-0. Real Madrid needs to score seven goals to qualify. This is already impossible.

Real Madrid should now consider not qualifying from the knockouts, but to keep face.

That is to score a goal!

But at the Bernabéu, this is an easy request for Real Madrid, but facing Southampton, it seems extremely difficult.

The integrity of this team is too strong. Real Madrid's players fight on their own and cannot create a threat.

It was like Gareth Bale, who passed a Luke Shaw, but soon another Nastasic came.

After a brief pause or hesitation, Luke Shaw turned around and jumped forward, forming a double-team.

In this situation of fighting in isolation and lacking contact, Real Madrid players, no matter how strong their personal ability, can hardly threaten Southampton's goal.

Zidane has nothing to do with this situation because he found that he has no way to make every player of the team play in a unified way.

This made him feel very helpless, but also very depressed.

Especially when the game was in the second half, not long after the start, Southampton seized the opportunity again. After Messi retraced the midfielder to get the ball, he used his personal ability to get rid of Modric, and went straight to the penalty area. Once again, Si calmly seized the opportunity and achieved it overnight to further expand the score.

This time, the entire Bernabéu stadium was completely fried.

All Real Madrid fans quit!

So many big-name players, invested so many transfer fees, and ended up being so humiliated by their opponents on their home court?

Who can stand it?

So, for a time, the call for Florentino to step down again sounded at the Bernabéu Stadium.

The sound is getting louder and louder, and finally overwhelming!
