Among the top three in Ligue 1, Lyon is the team that other European powerhouses least want to meet.
He can't say he is not strong, but he is very difficult and has always been difficult. In the European war, if there are any choices, almost all the wealthy families would rather meet Paris Saint-Germain with the Golden Dollar or the vigorous Monaco than to go with
Lyon played two games.
After missing the Champions League for two years, Lyon, who was not strong but definitely not weak, is back.
In the 2018-19 European Champions League group stage, defending champions Manchester City, Lyon, Dunmeng and Huocun were divided into Group F. Lyon will be Manchester City's first match, even if it won 11:0 a few days ago, and it was at the bottom.
Guardiola did not dare to be careless at all.
But before going away to teach Lyon a lesson, Guardiola did a small thing first.
9:1 ​​Ha Town, 6:1 Newcastle, 11:0 Fulham, let the English media carry out a confident reflection on the "No weak team in the Premier League". Is it time to tear off the emperor's new outfit?
Bayern is the only one in the Bundesliga. From the seven sisters to the top three in the north to the Juventus family is growing bigger. La Liga has been the private place for Real Madrid and Barcelona since ancient times. Only the Premier League has been counterattacked, grassroots heroes are coming one after another, and the magnificence of Leicester City in 2016
Still vivid in my mind.
'There is no weak team in the Premier League' has always been the confidence that England despises other major leagues. The rise of the giants is not a day, but the middle and lower-level teams will not abandon the giants and will fight to the last second of the last game. The bloodiness of the last second is the most important thing.
An admirable place.
However, Manchester City's performance in cutting vegetables and melons in the new season has forced the industry and the media to face up to this change. Through data analysis, in recent years, the mid- and lower-level Premier League teams have seen a significant decline in their score rate against giants, and big6 has appeared and
big6 is class solidification. This is evidence.
Before big6, there were indeed dominant teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League, including Manchester City, which rose after Mansour took over. The four of them divided up more than 20 championships except 2015.
.
But in the past, the ownership of strong teams in the competition for championships mainly depends on their respective winning rates against mid- and lower-level teams. Whoever wins a game that must win a three-pointer will have the lead in the competition.
And this is the real essence of "no weak teams in the Premier League". Leicester City won the championship is called a miracle, but there were also Kaiserslautern and Madiborg in the Bundesliga, Verona in Serie A and Naples in the nearest.
La Liga Super Laco and Super Bats won the championship are not far away.
The dark horse myth is not unique to the Premier League. The weak teams are the unique Premier League logo every year.
However, in recent years, the data has changed significantly. Big6's championship and ranking basically depends on the results of the direct dialogue between them. The unpopularity of defeating the strong in the league is still staged, but it cannot affect the final six top six in the standings.
Ranking.
Don't think that this change is a small matter. The reason why the Premier League can attract the most investment in consortiums and the reason why there are more TV broadcast fees than other major leagues is that the game here is more intense, there are no garbage rounds, every one
Confrontation is fast pace.
The reason is that the middle and lower-level teams are full of fighting spirit and are brave enough to admit defeat even if they are killed. Now, these excellent qualities are disappearing, and the weak teams are gradually accepting their fate, and they lose their resistance more and more quickly in the face of the wealthy families.
courage.
If this continues, the Premier League will "degenerate" into several other major leagues and lose its unique prosperity.
The media and the industry hope to explore the reasons for this phenomenon from all angles. Zhuo Yang is indeed powerful, but the successive victory of Manchester City led by him is only the most prominent performance in concreteness. In fact, the winning rate of big6 against mid- and downstream teams is increasing.
Manchester City is the most scary.
Many experts and gold medal reporters have discussed this issue in the media, among which the Times football version of the football version of Joe Gallo Sitt (joe                                                                                                            �
.
The article explains it from a purely technical and tactical perspective with extremely professional writing style, and the views put forward are very impressive.
The article believes that since Professor Wenger's coaching Arsenal brought continental technicalization to the Premier League 22 years ago, the stereotype of English football's long pass and rushing has begun to change.
Over the past 20 years, the Premier League's technical level has been significantly improved, and the tactics have become more colorful. Moreover, the fighting is fierce, and the style of opening and closing has not been lost, making the Premier League full of fast pace and fierce confrontation.
Premier League teams advocate fighting and are good at fighting, but their weaknesses in fighting are exposed by Guardiola's passing and control leading to the downward trend.
Guardiola's success in Barcelona has led the trend of football passport and control, and many different schools have emerged, such as Klopp's bombardment, Pochettino's wingback revolution, etc.
These trendy footballs have a common feature - high-level pressing.
Fighting is not a pressing, but a pressing is more advanced than traditional fighting.
The traditional battle between Premier League teams mainly occurs in the attacking zone 1 and 2, that is, the midfield and backcourt, but the high-level pressing starts with the forced pressure against goalkeepers and defenders. The defense of Premier League teams has never felt the pressure and pain like this now.
.
In the past, the defenders were at least safe when taking the ball. They could do most of the work with their iron spirit and courage. But now they can't do it. The defenders must have good ball-holding, controlling and taking the ball, so that they can
It is possible to fight against high-level pressing on the side without the ball.
However, defenders who can take the ball, control the ball, and drive the ball safely are scarce all over the world, and almost all have been recruited by giants. Because of their financial resources and influence, mid- and lower-level teams cannot retain such defenders even if they have them.
In the past two or three years, no matter how different the tactical details are, big6 has been very skilled in pressing at high positions. When changing offense and defense, effective pressing at opponents' back defense and even the midfielder makes it difficult for opponents to play a bright rhythm in offense.
High-level pressing is not just a physical fitness problem, nor is it a simple tactical problem. Instead, it is a tactical system of high physical fitness and technical capabilities, which is a very advanced football.
These are not possible for the middle and lower-level Premier League teams. They have neither suitable players to support the tactics nor suitable tactics to improve the players.
Therefore, simple iron blood and bravery are greatly reduced in power. If you can't fight when defending or shoot when attacking, the team will soon be wiped out of confidence and courage.
After a little time, under a deep sense of powerlessness, the big6 team will involuntarily give up. To be nice, it is called preserving strength.
The more you struggle, the more you lose, the more you lose, it is better to enjoy it.
The article's views are very sophisticated and convincing. They not only have data, local tactical illustrations, but also explain key points of competition examples.
All are dry goods, without any moisture, and can be ashamed to death by all the long writers in Chinese, including the platinum master.
The article highly respects Guardiola, believing that his football revolution of all offense, defense, pass and control has now achieved the solidification of the Premier League class, and will surely promote the second wave of Premier League technology in the future, and its significance is no less than that of the industrial revolution.
Other big-name coaches may feel sad about the article licking Guardiola, but they all have a positive attitude towards the "high-pressure theory" and unanimously believe that this is the case.
"The Deep Changes of Football in Passing and Controlling Football to the Premier League Tradition" has resonated and sensation in the football world, but no one knows who the author Joe Gallo Sit is.
Judging from the professionalism of the article, it is either a senior coach - but the general coach is not as good as a writer, or a gold medal reporter who has been immersed in football for decades, but that circle has never heard of this name.
.
Zhuo Yang also watched it, and watched it with assistant coach Arteta. Brother Tazi smiled while watching, looking very happy.
"Brother Tazi, you ate the magpies eggs and you smiled so much... Oh, I understand, this is what you wrote."
"No, I don't have that great ability." Brother Tazi shook his head quickly.
"Then you laugh at me, it's so cunning."
"Hehe, I know who wrote it."
"Oh? Do I know each other?"
"I know you, you know so much." Brother Tazi leaned closer to Zhuo Yang's ears: "It's Pep."
Zhuo Yang: “…”
"Fuck me, is it true? He is too shameless to lick myself." Zhuo Yang said: "Although Pep is indeed shameless in normal times, it is not as good as he is to be so sick."
"It's really written by him, why am I lying to you?"
"You asked him?"
"Old Zhuo, look. Joe Gallo Sitt, a very British name, right? But the three initials of the name are 'jgs', and the three initials of the name also happen to be 'jgs'.
,You said it was a coincidence?"
Guardiola's full name: Josep Guardiola Issala (josep                                                                                                                   �
However, it is a bit far-fetched to infer from this that ‘Joe Gallo Sit’ is the pseudonym of Lao Gua.
"That's it? I'm a little student, don't coax me."
“One hundred percent.”
Zhuo Yang: "So, he is really shameless."
"It's not that good."
.
The calm-looking old Gua held the newspaper and read it seriously, and could only glance at Zhuo Yang from time to time and reveal a little of his thoughts.
Zhuo Yang didn't care and focused on using a small file to trim his nails.
In the end, Lao Gua couldn't help but handed the newspaper over casually and said casually: "Zhuo Yang, look at this article, it's quite professional."
Zhuo Yang didn't answer and continued to grind his nails.
"Look, just take a look. It is rare to have such professional football articles in the British media. I admire this author very much. He looks very knowledgeable and skillful."
Too shameless.
"Let's go, I've seen it."
"Tell me." Lao Gua's eyebrows were trembling.
Zhuo Yang beat the nail dust on the file. "If I were to use this article as a graduation thesis, I might put on him with a second doctoral hat, soccer doctor."
"Really? So powerful?" Lao Gua's eyes were full of stars.
"Of course." Zhuo Yang said: "But Brother Gua, articles are good articles, but don't you feel embarrassed to praise yourself so much?"
Guardiola's face was so wonderful. "No... it wasn't written by me, how could it be written by me? No..."
"Come on, it's not shameful, it's embarrassing to be shameless. Brother Tazi has analyzed it from this pseudonym, it's written by you. And Joe Gallo Sitt, is it difficult to talk? You can just start a
The pseudonym of 'Wood Grass Daxian' is also stronger than this one."
"Oh, I'm fucking, it's this dog's day." Guardiola laughed instead when he was completely revealed. "He analyzed it. When I was writing in the office, he saw it and helped me change two typos. The pseudonym is
He gave it to him and promised not to tell others..."
