Chapter 46： big problem

When he woke up, Carlo was in a very happy mood.

Today, Madrid ushered in a rare warm sunny weather.

After Carlo finished breakfast, he spent his wife and asked her to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and prepare a hearty lunch at noon. He wanted to entertain a special guest, and then moved out of the chair and sat in the courtyard, warming up. Yang reads the newspaper.

Carlo was actually a little dissatisfied with the Spanish media reports. He felt that it was unfair to Gao Shen.

Not to mention the game against Atletico Madrid, just last night's Highbury battle, it is impossible to get too much praise for Gao Shen, but the media reporters focused more on superstars and youth players, while ignoring the head coach Gao Shen. importance.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

On the one hand, this is the tradition of Real Madrid, on the other hand, the media used to be all bad-mouthing, but now they can’t keep their promises, right?

Mrs. Carrow was also in a very good mood. She specially prepared some good dishes. When she got home, she got into the kitchen and got busy. Later, she even called Carrow in to help.

The two couples were busy in the kitchen until noon, until the doorbell rang outside the house, and when the guest came, Carlo came out.

……

After the training session in the morning, Gao Shen specially rubbed Raul's ride and went to a nearby shopping mall to buy a gift.

He knew that Carlo had the habit of drinking two glasses of wine every night, and prepared a bottle of good wine just for him.

"It's good that people come, why do you still give gifts?"

Carlo smiled and "scolded", but he was not slow to accept the gift. After accepting it, he opened the gift bag and glanced at it, "Wow, after buying such an expensive wine, are you planning to eat next? ?"

As Gao Shen's former boss, he knows how low Gao Shen's salary is.

The annual salary of Real Madrid stars is high, and the salary of the head coach is also high, but others are not necessarily so, especially interns like Gao Shen, who are more like free labor in the Real Madrid team.

To put it mildly, I can let you come to Real Madrid to plated gold, and I don't want to ask you for a fee.

"I plan to give this bottle of wine, and I will come to eat and drink every day from now on." Gao Shen joked.

"Yes, we welcome." Mrs. Carroll's voice came from the kitchen.

Gao Shen and Carlo both laughed in unison.

"Actually, I'm going to sign a formal contract."

The expression on Carlo's face froze, and his half-stretched hand stopped in mid-air. He was obviously a little surprised by the news, but he quickly covered it up and waved to Gao Shen, motioning him to sit down and speak.

"It should be, you can't keep getting an intern contract, right?"

That's what he said, but Carlo's heart was very uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he was really happy for Gao Shen, thinking that he deserved it, but on the other hand, he felt sad in his heart, because just ten days ago, he was the head coach of Real Madrid, but now with Gao Shen. After signing this contract, he felt empty in his heart.

Gao Shen has been paying attention to Carlo's expression and knows his mood, but he will know some things sooner or later.

"Sir, I have an idea."

Carlo poured a glass of boiling water for Gao Shen, "What?"

"You come back."

Carlo was stunned again, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the profound.

"I can make a request to the above to create an additional position in the coaching staff, the head of the coaching staff, the special adviser to the head coach or whatever, I really need your help, and Real Madrid needs you very much." Gao Shen Sincerely.

This is his sincerity.

Maqueda is not bad, but there is always a gap between Gao Shen and him, and he can't fully obey Gao Shen.

When Carlo is the head coach, Gao Shen doesn't really agree with him, but as an assistant, Gao Shen can give him the team's training and other matters with great confidence, and even when he is lining up, he can have one person to discuss.

But the trouble is that Maqueda is already the chief assistant coach and cannot be withdrawn, so Gao Shen wants to create another position between the head coach and the assistant coach. He believes that this is not a big problem.

The key is whether Carlo is willing or not.

Seeing that Carlo's face changed, Gao Shen knew what he was thinking. Before Carlo could speak, Gao Shen said with a smile: "I know, it is difficult and inappropriate for you to agree to this matter now, but I and Real Madrid I really need you very much, I don't force it, I just want you to think about it slowly."

He didn't give Carlo a chance to refuse, but instead used the trick of procrastination.

Carlo could only nod his head.

The two sat down, and the topic naturally turned to Real Madrid and the game that just passed.

Carlo is very interested in the defensive tactics that Gao Shen used in these two games. He also tried the 4-2-3 formation before, but it was very unsuccessful. Gao Shen's attempt was successful. He wanted to know why ?

In the past ten or so days, Gao Shen has been in the tactical library every night, studying Benitez's formation, and some of Ferguson's tactical ideas. He still has a lot of dry goods in his stomach.

Gao Shen made no secret that his four-two-three formation came from Benitez, but if he goes back further, it is Italy, especially Sacchi's regional defense concept.

Since the Italian chain defense was proposed in the era of Inter Milan, the entire Italian football has been deeply affected, until Sacchi further proposed the regional defense on the basis of the chain defense.

In fact, Sacchi's football concept was not recognized from the beginning. Even if his performance is outstanding, there are still many doubts. Many teams, including strong teams like Juventus, do not favor Sacchi's concept. , For example, Lippi has mentioned more than once that Sacchi's concept is not great, it just changes the training method, and there is no revolutionary breakthrough.

Gao Shen From the perspective of 2021, Saki put forward the concept of space on the basis of people and balls, which is indeed revolutionary.

However, subversion often requires a long period of repeated verification before it can be accepted by people.

What many people don’t know is that Benitez once studied in Italy for a year and was influenced by Sacchi’s philosophy. His predecessor Cooper in Valencia resolutely left Valencia and went to Serie A to coach the star black hole. Inter Milan also has a tactical pilgrimage mentality.

So what's the difference between marking and zone defense?

To put it simply, man-marking means that players adopt man-to-man tactics when defending, and mark the offensive players who enter their defense zone, but this has a premise that the offensive players must enter my defense zone.

In the past few decades, this defensive concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but gradually, no matter how powerful the concept is, it cannot help the toss of time. Professional coaches gradually discovered that this concept has a big problem.

Suppose Helguera and Ramos are paired in defense, both have their own defensive areas, and the first thing to consider is their own defense.

If Henry dribbles the ball straight to Elgra and passes Elgra in a very short time, Ramos will have to run over from his own defense area to assist in the defense, but there will be a time lag in this process. No to see Ramos.

Sacchi's area defense is not. He does not emphasize man-marking, but emphasizes active pressing.

From the back line to the midfield to the front line, maintain a careful position, the distance between players is very close, if you want to move, just a few players move together, maintaining a close distance and cooperation at all times.

Many people will be very surprised, why did Henry fail to play in Serie A but shine in the Premier League?

The reason is here.

In Serie A, when Henry has the ball, he is often not facing one person, but facing two or even three people at the same time, not to mention rushing with the ball to give play to the advantage of speed, even if it is simply It is very difficult to hold the ball.

In the Premier League, he can easily get the space to get the ball and start it quickly, using the gap between the defenses to pass the opponent's defenders one by one, or score directly.

When standing in 2021, many fans will ask, why have the goal scorers become more and more sidelined over the years?

The reason is very simple. The defense in the middle is getting more and more careful, and even the weakest opponent will not leave you much space.

Gao Shen told Carlo that if Elguera and Ramos were in better form and had a better understanding, Henry's penalty would not have been earned at all, and Real Madrid could have kept Arsenal at Highbury.

"I can say with certainty that regional defense is the trend of the future, and active and positive pressing tactics will be the mainstream of future defense, so central defenders like Ramos are our future!"

Ramos, Pepe, David Luiz, Chiellini and other future central defenders Which one is not detained by the title of rash, frizz and so on? Which one is not a lot of mistakes, much criticized?

But slowly, everyone will find that when they are not there, the defense of the original team will decline to an unbelievable level.

This is the difference between active pressing and passive defense.

And Real Madrid is not suitable for passive defense at all, because Real Madrid has the blood of offensive football flowing in its body.

……

I have to say that Carlo has never heard of many profound ideas and ideas, which shocked the former Real Madrid coach.

This is not surprising, because these profound things are directly taken out of Benitez's mind, and all are the experience and experience after careful study by this wise tactician.

"I have a question, if it's as you said, you want to play with high pressure, then why is it rarely seen against Atletico Madrid or against Arsenal?" When Carlo asked the question, Kind of like a good student.

There was a sense of satisfaction in Gao Shen's heart, and smiled: "It's very simple, in order to achieve the goal of tactics, you need to have the basis of execution. In the final analysis, it is the player. There are thousands of benefits to adopting high-position pressure play, but the premise is that all the The team must be able to run.”

Regional defense is the overall cooperation, one person runs, the whole team follows, which requires everyone to run.

Players are not machines. If they want to run, they need physical strength to back them up.

"This is the biggest problem I'm facing now. The team's physical fitness and daily training levels are too poor."

When he said this, Gao Shen really had a kind of sadness that a clever woman can't cook without rice.
