Chapter 339 Tailor-made tactics
Of course, for Jose, there is a big difference between Ram and Iniesta.
Ram can be the main force from the beginning. Romero's form began to decline last season. Otherwise, La Coruna would not have thought of selling his absolute main force in the past five years. When he came to Mallorca this time, Romero did not think that he would be the main force. After all, Mallorca is completely different from Mallorca he was in at that time. As a team that has double championships in the Champions League and the league, he is not sure that he can play the main force. With this idea, as long as Ram can show excellent form, Romero will not have any objection even if he gives way. Besides, Ram lacks experience after all, at least in this season, it is a better way for the two to share their playing time.
Iniesta will not have a fixed main lineup. However, although Jose decided to use the three-middle midfielder tactics this season, he will definitely not be able to fight to the end. It is also imperative to use the double front midfielder tactics of last season. After all, as the only candidate outside of Mallorca's attack on midfielder Kaka, Iniesta's chances of playing will definitely not be missing.
So for these two young players, they are not worried about their current playing opportunities, which is in line with Jose's positioning for them. The technical characteristics of these two people are already very stable. What they need now is playing time. Even though they are young, they are still capable of fighting.
As for Mex, José spent the second most expense this summer (the first was Dakot's five million euros, but Mex's transfer was because of the minimum breach fee in his contract, and Mallorca chose a cheaper one. Otherwise, such a young, potential and hot central defender would not be able to get five or six million). Of course, he would not be allowed to be a substitute, and Mex's situation is similar, that is, the technology has basically been established and can be used as a use. The level of it can be played depends on whether the tactics are in line with each other and how his own state is. He is a natural candidate to replace Van Biten.
Although Matthias has the ability to play the main force now, Jose still doesn't want to rush to straighten him. Matthias's characteristic is frontal defense and assisted defense. Slow turning is his biggest weakness. This kind of central defender is not impossible to become a top central defender, but he must have an extremely calm and sophisticated mentality. Jose wants to use this bench career to hone Matthias's mentality. If he can't hone it, Matthias's flaw will definitely restrict him from becoming a top central defender. He must endure this confusion now.
But what makes Jose happy is that the nervous Matthias has a very good psychological quality in this situation. Although he made a big splash in the final of the Champions League last season, he was not overwhelmed by the media - he didn't read the newspaper at all! After he became famous, many agents came to him and said they wanted to be his agent, but he directly refused. In his own words, he just didn't want the agent to share his money...
Of course, this practice will cause him some financial losses, but it will allow him to play football with the greatest peace of mind. He is only nineteen years old and has been able to make a lot of money for a long time.
Days have passed day by day. As a professional head coach, Jose has always paid great attention to training, and he can see how effective the training is. Although he has not personally guided a player, when young players are not training properly, he will point it out that no one can escape his eyes.
The coaching team he has formed in the past or two years is huge to outsiders that makes people feel perverted, goalkeeper coaches, physical coaches, tactical coaches, full-time coaches in various positions... and coaches who specialize in collecting opponent information. There are 20 people in the entire coaching team, including Jose. The salary of these people alone is a considerable number every year, but Jose thinks it is worth it. No one in La Liga now attaches as much importance to the role of assistant coaches as he does. This attention brings Jose to arrange tactics more easily, and at the same time has a very detailed understanding of each player's physical condition and physical fitness.
Only by doing the preparations before the competition can you increase the possibility of winning.
After two weeks, the players' physical fitness has basically returned to their best level. Even shortly after returning from injury, Senna, who has been away from the training ground for eight months, recovered quite well. Although there is still a gap with others, she can maintain her physical fitness through adjustments after the start of the season. The entire Mallorca is ready to welcome the new season.
So two weeks later, Mallorca began tactical drills.
First of all, the four-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two
Next is the tactical details, and the players in Mallorca began to feel different last season.
Last season, Mallorca's two full-backs generally took turns to assist, while Jose now requires assists at the same time. At the same time, tactical exercises on the side attack have also increased a lot, including the forward retreat to get the ball and splitting it into two sides, and the side insertion attracts attention to the players in the middle to open the gap, and the large-scale transfer makes the two wings more active... If Mallorca's middle attack accounted for 70% and the side attack accounted for only 30% last season, then Mallorca's current offensive tactics are a combination of side and middle, with almost the same number of times.
If you play more on the wing, the long passes in the air will naturally increase, and the straight passes of the diagonal line will also increase - this style of play makes the two forwards feel very happy. Drogba can play more with his body, Etoo can also play better with his speed and insertion ability, and more balls allow Etoo to play with his skills.
Torres is also very happy about this situation because he is a very comprehensive striker. This combination of sides and middle tactics allows him to have the opportunity to get the ball in all situations. Perhaps he is still a substitute for Etoo and Drogba in the new season, but there will definitely be no less chances to play. After all, Jose will not only use two strikers, especially in the African Cup this season.
4222, 4312, 4321... Jose's regulations on the tactics of the new season are like this. No matter how it changes, it is nothing more than just making a fuss about the number of midfielders, because Alonso will be established as the core of the organization, so at least two midfielders must be guaranteed, and the tactics of full-back assists will be persisted. Almost every team in La Liga will play the tactics of full-back assists, but generally it is mainly on one side, such as Real Madrid is mainly on the left side of Carlos, and Barcelona
Rona used to focus on Rezig's right, while La Coruña mainly focused on Pablo's right, and before the 2002 World Cup, Pablo began to participate in the offense more after being injured. Valencia is a little more alternative. Their two old full-backs rarely assisted. When Caboni and Anguema appeared at the same time, Caboni had more assists. After Curro Torres became the main player, Caboni's assists decreased, and Torres on the right assists were more...
However, like Jose decided to implement, Ram and Beletti on both wings kept forward attacking like two wingers, which is quite rare in La Liga.
But Jose decided to use this tactic. Firstly, because Ronaldo left, the viewing of the frontcourt offense would definitely be greatly reduced, especially the gorgeous personal skills would almost never appear again. However, in this case, the team can also play very well, that is, the frequent attacks of the two wings, constantly combining the sides and the opponent's defense line, and using a fast and clear rhythm, it makes people feel pleasing to the eye. Speed and strength can also bring beauty.
If this tactic is played well, you can also score a large number of goals. If you score more goals, the game will naturally look good, and Mallorca's popularity will not decline.
At the same time, Mallorca's personnel configuration also conforms to this tactic. Ram's assist ability is undoubtedly only needed to be developed now. Although Beletti is not as capable of provoking a side by one as his future compatriot Macon and becoming a free agent on the right as a full-back, his offensive ability is also quite top-notch and practical. Even compared with Macon, Kafu and others who are relatively balanced in offense and defense, his offense is more extreme!
Two full-backs with excellent assist capabilities, a group of midfielders who can provide sufficient protection for both wings. This is Jose's confidence in using this tactic. In the era he knew, Mancini behind the phone gate used the original tactics of assisting three midfielders and two-wing full-backs to win two-league championships. Although he has been performing poorly in the Champions League, it has nothing to do with the three midfielders, because they rely too much on Ibrahimovic...
But now Mallorca will not rely on one person because their core and main scorers are separated. Alonso is organized behind, while the score is Etoo, Drogba, Kaka in the frontcourt...
If you play 4222, Kaka will be fixed in the middle, and Iniesta will roam on the right. In this case, the right back sent by Jose will be Campano, who has a balanced offense and defense, focusing on the assists on the wings on the left, and if you play three midfielders, Jose will definitely send Beletti to form two wings to fly together. At the same time, Kaka will be an attractive pawn in the frontcourt, with two forwards, and Kaka's most important method to score will be long-range shots.
This tactical change is not complicated. Compared with last season, Kaka's mission has not changed much. Instead, he will be more active in the middle lane he likes without being occupied by Ronaldo. Etoo will get the task of retreating and breaking through the ball, allowing him to perform better. Drogba will get more passes on both wings. When the side and middle combination, Alonso's organization and passing will also have more room for performance.
This is a tactic that Jose has completely tailored for Mallorca's existing personnel. Of course, his tactical ideas have existed for a long time, and the signings are targeted. At the same time, he also made fine adjustments based on the successful tactics last season - Jose has a great ambition. In addition to the titles of people who have called him the leading European young coach, the best mentor for young players, etc., he also wants to be regarded as a master of tactics...
The tactics of the top midfielder with four, two, two double front midfielder with three core cores this season, and the three back midfielder with four, three, one and two this season are all tactics that the top coaches have thought about in the next few years in history, but now they have become Jose's first!
Of course, compared with the three core tactics of the four, two, two, two double front midfielder who had achieved success last season, whether the current three back midfielder tactics can be successful still needs time to verify...
And the Spanish Super Cup that is about to begin is such a good opportunity!
