"Stand a little further forward, yes. Don't be too excited. Move when you see the opportunity."
Standing at the corner kick, Raul shouted loudly to Neuer on the court. In the penalty area, Tottenham players wearing vests of different colors stood in two groups, and they were training on set pieces.
The offensive group is Thiago Silva, Palmieri and Cavani, and the defensive group is Jerome Boateng, Hoddlestone, Jagielka and Piszczek.
Raul serves as the server. He stands at the corner kick point and serves the ball in the penalty area.
At the same time, when the players in the penalty area have problems, he also has to make some corrections. For example, just now, he loudly scolded Jerome Boateng who was not in the right position.
Make him pay more attention to his position.
Logically speaking, this should be the goalkeeper's task, but Neuer's instructions to the players are really unreliable. Fortunately, Tottenham also has Raul. Although he is not a defender, let alone a goalkeeper.
, he is very amateurish when it comes to commanding the defensive positioning, but there are people who are willing to listen to his words, and he can mobilize the players when he is able to command, which allows him to put forward a lot of good suggestions for the players to refer to and accept.
The experience of old players is the nutrient that young players need when they grow up - just like Raul didn't take many corner kicks at Real Madrid. However, when he arrived at Tottenham, he taught Bale how to take corner kicks well in training.
One of the jobs.
"Okay, let's practice here for now. Let's take a rest and contact you later."
Seeing that the players were a little tired, and Jerome Boateng was even a little irritable, Raul also clapped his hands and interrupted the training. Logically speaking, this should be the job of the coach, but Li Bin on the other side,
The frontcourt players are undergoing movement support training. In this training, Raul can fully shoulder half of the coach's tasks.
"In today's training, if you stand a little further forward, maybe we can get a gap..."
Behind him came the conversation between Palmieri and Thiago Silva. Raul listened to their conversation and saw that the training of other Tottenham players not far away had also ended and the players had also begun to rest.
, he also showed a slight smile.
It’s been half a year since I came to Tottenham, and I’ve been doing pretty well at Tottenham this past six months.
This is good, but it does not mean that the results are good - although second place in the league is a good result, Raul never thinks that there is anything strange about his team being a championship contender. This is good, but it does not mean that his performance is good.
After half a season, there were about ten games with starters and substitutes, and five or six goals were scored.
He plays very well, but Raul knows that this is just a good substitute player. What really makes Raul happy is that he has not felt an atmosphere like Tottenham for a long time. In this way, the players play hard and don't think too much.
Among many other factors, the football atmosphere that regards football as the source of all fun is what Raul really likes.
Maybe I am really old. When I was young, I did not particularly appreciate pure football. At that time, I was not particularly averse to locker room politics, and I was even a part of it many times.
However, when I become an old man, when I think back on things that happened when I was young, not everything is so happy.
"Your water."
Next to him, Palmieri handed over the water, and Raul thanked him. He watched the young guy sit down next to him and patted him enthusiastically, "You played well and you are making progress.
You are quite aware, but you are not aggressive enough in grabbing points. If you work harder, you can score more goals."
"I hope so." Palmieri nodded. This season, Tottenham's defenders scored four headers, but only one of them was his. He was also a little dissatisfied with this. Raul could see it.
He knew his dissatisfaction and specially arranged for him to undergo training during training. "Thank you. I have something to ask you. You said that Tou has been conducting offensive training instead of defensive training.
What does it mean?”
Since the game against Liverpool ended, Tottenham have gained a rare break: the next league game will not be played until January 16, and during this period, Tottenham only has the FA Cup, and the task is very light.
They didn't take it to heart. Therefore, Tottenham had been training since the game against Liverpool, but Li Bin had been conducting offensive training, which also made the players on the back line a little dissatisfied.
The current Bayern is a strong offensive team no matter how you look at it. Robben, Ribery, Lahm, and Xiaozhu, these four people can activate Bayern's attack very well. For such a team, no matter how to defend,
They first considered how to attack, which puzzled Palmeri.
"If you can grasp the attack, it's very difficult to prevent mistakes on defense." Raul responded, "Why don't you ask the coach?"
Looking at Palmeri in front of him, Raul also asked with some interest.
He knew that Tottenham's players were still a little timid after being drawn by Bayern. Although Bayern's European results in the past two years have been quite average, they are a giant team in Europe after all. In the summer, Real Madrid made a big purchase in Serie A.
The top players in the Premier League and French Ligue 1 all joined Real Madrid without any resistance. Only Bayern retained Franck Ribery, which is enough to show that they do not just want to be a supplier to Real Madrid. They have not lost themselves.
backbone,
On the contrary, they also introduced Robben from Real Madrid and invited Van Gaal to prepare to strengthen the team. As soon as Van Gaal arrived, he promoted Badstuber, Muller and other players, and at the same time let Demichely
Sri Lanka switched to playing as a defender and Xiaozhu switched to playing as a midfielder. While Bayern was undergoing major surgery, it also improved Bayern's strength a lot. This rebuilding team is invincible in the Bundesliga. Although they encountered Xiao Xiao in the Champions League,
It was a setback, but he still played well.
Bayern is a strong team now - these are Li Bin's original words.
When encountering a strong team, they don't consider defense, but only consider offense. This is really unacceptable for the players on the back line.
"The head seems to want to kick the ground to cooperate."
"That's because ground cooperation is more effective." Behind them, Li Bin's voice sounded, and Palmieri turned his head. Li Bin adapted to the fact that they didn't have to stand up, and he himself sat on the grass, talking to the players.
They started chatting, "We have less than a month to play against Bayern. Now you are all confused why I don't let you practice defense, but let you practice header coordination, right?"
"Yes." Palmieri said, "Bayern's attack is very rampant. Shouldn't we practice defense to prevent Robben and Lahm from cooperating with each other? Why do we need to practice headers? Do you have a way?
Preventing Robben from dying?"
Palmieri didn't say a word: He suspected that Li Bin simply looked down on their defense, thinking that they were not strong enough to defend Robben, and wanted to use offense instead of defense. He ignored Robben's arrogance and relied solely on attack to defeat him.
Enemy. If that were the case, even though Li Bin had a good relationship with him, it would be difficult for him to accept this idea.
"It's not difficult to defend Robben. We'll talk about it later. First, you want us to practice defense. How do you think we should defend?"
Palmieri was stunned for a moment, and then spoke, "Intensify the pressure in the midfield, increase the pressure of the players, and at the same time deploy heavy troops on the wings to form a triangle area to cut the defense..."
"Van Gaal is the coach in the world who is least afraid of pressing. If you look at the games he directs, in his games, the midfielder gets the ball, and both central defenders need to run and participate in the reception.
, He is unique in this kind of playing style. It is impossible to deal with him by pressing so hard. Moreover, it is not possible to cut and defend on the wing. He attaches great importance to the division of functions when advancing. He combines a lot of wing and center.
Forming a cut, it is difficult to stop his advancement in the middle, this is not an option."
Palmieri frowned. At the same time, several players around him were also thinking. Raul watched the tactical lesson with interest without interrupting.
He knew that Li Bin was inspiring the thinking of several defenders. If their thinking broadened, then they would be able to perform better against Bayern in the next game.
"What if they press their full-backs to come in, and at the same time cut off their cooperation in the middle, leaving their wingers to fight alone?" Piszczek asked.
"Their full-back is Lahm, and the central partner is Xiaozhu, who used to play on the wing. Do you think we have enough strength to cut them off? Even if we cut them off, be it Robben or Ribery, the threat of singles is
Is it very small?”
Piszczek stopped talking, and Thiago Silva spoke at this time, "They don't seem to have a filling midfielder in the middle, and their counterattacks after conceding the ball in the frontcourt are all...
They prefer point-to-point counterattacks and lack layered coordination. If our intensity of fighting increases and we rely on large-scale scrambles to win the ball from behind, their counterattacks will not be enough.
It is easy to break up if they support the second attack. Moreover, their midfielder has no one to fill the position, and the full-backs push forward excessively. In addition, the two defenders Badstuber and Demichelis are not in good physical condition.
If we chase slower people, we will easily be beaten behind us. If our defense line is built on the forward line, it will be a great deterrent to them and may even force them to shrink as a whole."
Thiago Silva's words made Li Bin nod. Of these defenders, Palmieri is too young and is still dogmatic when it comes to issues. Piszczek is not talented enough and does not have any good suggestions. Instead, he has a flexible mind.
, who has experience and strength at the same time, it must be Thiago Silva. If he can give such advice, he is worthy of being a top defender.
Playing football is not a simple job, and you cannot just do whatever you want. It is very important to formulate a defensive strategy and how the players implement it. You cannot become a good player by relying solely on playing with courage.
Only by using your brain more, coaching your teammates more, and thinking more tactically can players become stronger. Thiago Silva can see so much, which is the result of his thinking. Compared with his talent and acquired hard work,
Even more rare.
"But what if the referee's whistle is tight?" Li Bin asked another question, "What if the referee's whistle does not support our tactics?"
"I know!" Neuer said.
"explain."
"Keep the goal." Neuer ignored the ridicule of the people around him and stood up as he said, "Keep the goal and you have everything. I watched Bayern's game and their offensive point is not in the penalty area.
Inside, and outside the penalty area, Robben is their main
A shooter who shoots violently from the outside of the penalty area is their most terrifying offensive method - I believe that I can defend their attack from outside the penalty area. Of all the tactics, this one is the best: as long as I guard the goal,
