In the second game of the second round of the New Cuju Competition, the Wenyuan team played against the Lions. Nearly ten minutes have passed since the two sides started. At the beginning, the Wenyuan team chose to attack first, and the wind direction was favorable to them.
.The Lions have the right to choose sides and choose a smooth direction to defend first. At the same time, the Lions' defensive formation and their opening formation have also changed. In order to prevent the Wenyuan team's core
Xu Chang of the trio cooperated with the two wingers, and the Lions strengthened their defense on the wing. Of course, the one who attracted the most attention was Liu Wei, the Lions player who made his first start as a center today.
In the previous games, in the warm-up match against Wenyuan, he came on as a substitute defender, and in the first round of the official game, he came on as a center substitute. In this game, Cao You put him in the starting lineup.
position, and the purpose is very simple, which is to limit the offense of Wenyuan team core player Xuchang Xuchang.
The core of the core trio has always been the center Xuchang, and most of the Wenyuan team's offenses were organized and initiated by him. Different from the first game, the Wenyuan team was better at switching offenses before.
The rhythm suddenly started to increase from a steady pace, catching the opponent off guard. But today the Wenyuan team's choice was completely different. From the opening, the Wenyuan team quickly launched an attack, hoping to be the first to score as much as possible through a fast-paced attack.
Of course, it is not easy to score from the Lions through fast break. After all, the Lions are different from other teams, at least in terms of integrity and morale, because Cao You’s
Yes, they will not fall into a passive situation at the beginning or not enter the state.
Of course, Han Wenyuan is well aware of this, but both he and Xu Chang are confident in the overall strength of the team. After all, with Xu Chang in the team, the one with the upper hand in the midfield must be the Wenyuan team, with the new Liu Wei
It may be a talent, but it should be impossible to completely restrict Xuchang in the game. Therefore, striving for the fastest time to form cooperation and create shooting opportunities to score has become the first choice of the Wenyuan team. However, the fact is that
The situation is that Liu Wei's ability greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, including Lu Yao. This person has excellent defensive ability. Even the defensive master Chen Chen cannot guarantee that he will be able to win one-on-one.
He was able to completely defend against Xuchang's breakthrough. But Liu Wei did it. Facing Liu Wei's defense, Xuchang had to choose to fight, otherwise the morale of the Wenyuan team would be weakened a lot. This is as a
What the captain must do. However, Liu Wei directly made Xu Chang's breakthrough useless. No matter what fancy extraordinary moves he made, Liu Wei remained unmoved. In fact, this kind of view
Defense without looking at the ball is actually a big taboo in modern football.
The basic idea of modern football defense is to focus on zone defense and supplement it with man-to-man defense. As a defensive player, you must first stand in your defensive position, and then pay attention to the movement of the ball and the opponent players in your defensive area. This so-called man-to-man defense also requires
Keep an eye on the ball. When an offensive player comes over with the ball, he should go up to prevent the opponent from advancing, and at the same time, be careful not to be passed. At this time, someone needs to be behind you to fill the position, and someone needs to cut off the passing line. The entire defensive formation should not allow the opponent to ignore it.
Neither dribbling nor passing the ball can continue to advance. Positional defense can be done to this extent. But when the defensive players pay attention to the movement of the ball, sometimes it is a misjudgment of the landing point, and sometimes the offensive players start early, and the defensive players need to
Offensive players who pay attention at the same time may get rid of their own defense and get better offensive opportunities. This is called loose marking. On the contrary, defensive players pay too much attention to the movement of offensive players and may be taken away by the offensive players' coquettish movements.
Leaving a large gap in one's own defensive area and being penetrated by the opponent's defense line is the so-called inability to maintain a position. When should you keep an eye on people and when can you let them go? This time you have to rely on experience and awareness, but the principle
Still the same: choose the least risky, safest option.
To sum up, after all, this new Cuju is a whole sport. It is useful to watch the ball but not the people in one-on-one defense, but it only exists when your opponent is a player of the other side, and he does not know how to do it.
Choose the method of coordination and passing. Otherwise, if you only look at the ball and not the people, once the opponent chooses to pass one or form a passing coordination with other players, the defensive player will be easily passed. After all, this
It is a team sport, and overall cooperation is more important.
But Liu Wei did not choose this way, because one thing can be learned from the previous analysis between him and Cao You. That is, when facing Liu Wei's defense, Xu Chang would not choose to pass the ball and cooperate.
This is both due to his self-confidence as a core player and to maintain the team's morale. If Xu Chang chooses to pass the ball, he will definitely be greeted by boos from the audience supporting the Lions. Therefore,
He will not escape, he will definitely have a one-on-one duel with Liu Wei, and he will not choose to pass the ball.
Now that it has been determined that the opponent will not cooperate, but will fight with him head-on, it will be very easy for Liu Wei to choose a defensive strategy, so he finally chose a defense that looks at the ball but not the people, which is just right to deal with it.
Xu Chang's various extraordinary skills. After Xu Chang understood this, he finally chose to use strength and speed to forcefully break through Liu Wei. He felt that although Liu Wei's defensive ability was very strong, his basic attributes were occupied.
The one with the advantage is still himself. However, this idea harmed Xu Chang. In fact, Liu Wei has been training continuously. In fact, in the first game, he could have appeared as a starting player, but Cao You did not have it at that time.
That's just an arrangement. As for strength and speed, Liu Wei is not inferior to Xuchang. Therefore, after Xuchang made this choice, Liu Wei also kept up with Xuchang's pace. Seeing that there was no chance to pass Liu Wei
, if the entanglement continues, the advantage of the first attack gained by the Wenyuan team and the chosen fast break rhythm will be disrupted, so Xuchang finally chose to spread his position to pass the ball, and formed a cooperation with the winger.
However, what Xu Chang didn't expect was that his passing was actually under the subtle influence of Liu Wei, including his breakthrough route and the timing of passing the ball, which were actually pretty much what Liu Wei expected.
As a result, before the Cuju hit the ground, the Lions defenders intercepted X Chang's pass.
In the eyes of the audience, this interception of the ball was not actually a passing error by X Chang. It can only be said that the Lions defenders predicted the ball's landing point very accurately and were able to make judgments in advance and intercept X Chang's pass.
.But Xu Chang, as the person involved, knew very well that this was completely designed by Liu Wei, and Han Wenyuan on the sidelines also saw it very clearly. He thought that the Lions now have the capital to compete with the Wenyuan team. Before
, in terms of offensive ability, Zou Kai and Chen Feng are actually not inferior to the two wingers in the core trio of Wenyuan team. And the advantage of Wenyuan team lies in Xuchang. Regardless of the Lions
No matter how strong the overall comprehensive ability of the team is, but in the midfield area, as long as Xu Chang is present, the overall strength of the Lions team will be weaker. This is beyond doubt.
However, what worries Han Wenyuan now is that the appearance of this man named Liu Wei has directly changed the current situation between the two teams in the midfield. If Liu Wei can restrain Xuchang, then Xuchang will be left alone
It is impossible for others to assist when organizing an offense. Of course, if Xu Chang can choose to pass the ball, that is another matter, but can a player with such a strong self-esteem choose to cooperate? What's more, the core
The trio's cooperation has its own set of patterns. If other team members join in, it is likely to disrupt this rhythm. Thinking of this, Han Wenyuan couldn't help but worry. It seems that the operating model of the core trio has actually been changed.
The Lions have figured out that if other players cooperate with the two wingers, the effect will naturally not be as good as Xuchang's, so the final solution to the problem is to make a fuss in the midfield. At this time, Han Wenyuan has already thought about it.
How to solve offensive problems.
On the field, the ball rights were switched, and now it is the Lions who have the right to attack. Lu Yao feels that the next step is to test Cao Yu. On the defensive end, they can do something about the core trio, but when it comes to their own offense,
Side, if the situation cannot be opened up for a long time, it will also be disadvantageous for the Lions.
"If possible, I think the Wenyuan team should end the game within regular time and not drag the game into overtime or a penalty shootout." Said Katsuyuki Zhe on the commentary desk.
His view was also recognized by Wang Da and Wang Yi. Wang Da said: "I think so too. Although Liu Wei's performance just now was very eye-catching, it can be said that he limited the Wenyuan team's fast break, and he himself
This side also won the ball, but whether it is in terms of physical strength or individual offensive abilities of the players, there is no doubt that the Wenyuan team has the advantage."
Wang Yi said from the side: "Wenyuan team is definitely ahead of the Lions in terms of physical strength, and in terms of offense, if it enters a penalty shootout, we know that all the previous goals of the Lions are basically
The goal was scored by the cooperation of Zou Kai and Chen Feng. But the Wenyuan team is different. Whether they are midfielders or forwards, they all have excellent shooting abilities. Therefore, the longer the game goes on, the more physical exertion the players have.
Larger, in this case, it is more beneficial to the Wenyuan team. The defensive players' physical strength decreases, and the Wenyuan team poses a greater threat to the Lions' goal. However, for the Wenyuan team, the defender only needs to restrict Zou Kaihe
Chen Feng is fine."
"How to solve the problem of insufficient offensive ability of the offensive players has become the main problem facing the Lions now. Of course, if Cao You found a new offensive point during this period, that is another matter."
Zhe Kexing added from the side.
Lu Yao also listened to what the three of them said. He very much agreed with what these three people said. In fact, when it comes to the Lions' games, Lu Yao watched every game. It has to be said that Cao You, as a coach,
The commanding ability of the players and the ability to train the players are first-rate. From the warm-up match to now, each of the three games of the Lions can give people a bright feeling. The first two games do not need to be much
In this game, Liu Wei, a newcomer, came on the scene and completed the task very well, limiting Xuchang's offense. However, defense alone is not enough, and there is no way to win the game. For this
One point, Chen Chen’s grassroots team is the most vivid example.
The grassroots team is known for its excellent defense, and it is also the best defensive team among the eight participating teams. The characteristic of their team is that they focus on defensive counterattacks. Chen Chen also formulates strategies and lineups based on this overall tactic. However, I believe If Chen Chen is given another chance now, he should not hesitate to balance the proportion of offense and defense from the beginning, and will not turn the grassroots team into a team that relies entirely on defensive counterattacks. A team only has defense, but there is no The only way to get to the end, even if you want to win with a penalty kick, is to rely on luck and the shooting ability of each player. Therefore, offense is the best way to end the game.
Although the Lions have a relatively strong overall strength, there is no doubt that it has better offensive capabilities than other teams. The two biggest talents in the team, Zou Kai and Chen Feng, were fat and thin from the beginning, which made people laugh. Now they have grown into the core players of the team, and they are two forwards with very strong offensive ability. In the previous games, these two also exposed some of their shortcomings as forwards. However, Lu Yao believes that after such a long period of time, With time and training, the two of them should grow better in this game.
However, it is not enough. To say that the teams with outstanding offensive capabilities among these eight teams should be the Huangtian team of Wang Da and Wang Yi, and the Wenyuan team. The reason why the Huangtian team lost the game is because in the The on-field aspect was not handled well, and they lost to the Fanlou team in the end. But for the Wenyuan team, because of the presence of Xuchang, there was no problem with their offense. Therefore, the Lions' offensive ability must be Weaker than the Wenyuan team. As for the defense, although the Wenyuan team's defense is not a strong point, it is definitely not weak. The four defenders each performed their duties at this time, and they quickly retreated to their own half. On the field, it seemed that there was no impact at all because of the Lions' interception just now. In other words, it was impossible to quickly switch to counterattack.
The four defenders of the Wenyuan team are very focused. If the Lions are not careful, they will be offside by the four defenders of the Wenyuan team, so long passes cannot be considered.
Therefore, after stealing the ball, the Lions were not in a hurry to launch an offense. They also knew their own strength very well and began to pass the ball in the backcourt. It seemed that they wanted to slow down the rhythm of the game and launch a positional attack.
Looking at the changes in the formations of both sides on the field, Wang Yi on the commentary desk said: "The Lions are going to have a positional battle with the opponent next."
Wang Da said: "Look at the two wingers of the Wenyuan team. It seems they don't want to retreat at all. Instead, they started pressing directly in the frontcourt."
Zhe Kexing added: "The reason why they made this choice is because these two have full confidence in the Wenyuan team's defense. They know that neither the midfield nor the defense will allow them to retreat to their own. It is necessary to join the defense in the half court. On the contrary, if they intercept the ball in the frontcourt, it will put more pressure on the Lions."
However, although the two members of the core trio began to grab the ball directly on the court, trying to regain the ball again, the Lions' integrity and passing accuracy were very high, even if There is no way for the two of them to grab the ball easily. What's more, they are now in the Lions' half, and the opponent only has two people. The four people in the midfield have retreated to the midfield position. Just relying on them Two people can only interfere with the Lions' passing route.
The Lions started passing the ball in the backcourt, and then slowly pushed forward. They did this not because they were afraid that the opponent's quick steal would cost them the opportunity to attack.
It's because they know that they can't be impatient in this situation, they must pass the ball steadily, slowly look for opportunities, and score the most certain goal. Of course, what the previous three commentators said is correct, and Cao You also felt that
Thinking about it, this game must be decided within regular time. Once it enters overtime or a penalty shootout, it will undoubtedly be very detrimental to the Lions.
However, it is only a quarter of an hour into the game now, so there is no need to increase the offensive rhythm. After all, in previous games, the Lions rarely launched fast breaks or quick defensive counterattacks to score, and more often engaged in positional battles.
Attack and slowly look for opportunities.
Lu Yao looked at the performance of the Lions players on the field and couldn't help but think of a modern national team whose style is very similar to that of the Lions, that is the Spanish team. Their tactics are tiki-taka.
It is characterized by short-distance transmission and frequent running. The core concept is to maintain possession of the ball to reduce the pressure on the defensive players at the back. This tactic is different from the traditional football formation concept and tends to be organized regionally (zonal play). Spanish national football
FC Barcelona and FC Barcelona are the two most famous teams that use the tiki-taka tactical system. The latter was mainly used from the era of Johan Cruyff to the era of Tito Vilanova.
The working principle, or core concept, of tiki-taka is ball control. Ball control is achieved through passing, not dribbling. Passing creates possession and creates space.
Most of the short passes are used in the tiki-taka tactic. Of course, the tactic does not require players not to use long passes. It just requires players to pass the ball in the most accurate way, and short passes are the most accurate.
First of all, when passing the ball, the players need to form a passing triangle. If there is a passing triangle next to the player holding the ball, it means that he has two receiving players to pass the ball. If there are more passing triangles, it means
There are more supporting players around him. The triangle can be extended. When a player receives the ball, other teammates need to quickly approach to form another triangle, so that when the defensive players come up, there will be more
With no less than one passing option, the likelihood of conceding the ball is reduced.
There are also characteristics in the choice of technology. Barcelona players keep the ball from spinning when passing the ball, so that teammates can pass the ball directly and accurately to other teammates without stopping the ball without making too many mistakes.
Completely different from the concept of regional football, the concept of tiki-taka football is an upgrade of the concept of total attack and total defense. Players cannot stick to their regional positions and must quickly and continuously adjust their positions according to the situation of their teammates.
, thus continuously forming a passing triangle. Returning to the issue of space creation mentioned before, if the contact points are dead, then the space is also dead, and if the contact points are alive, then these contact points are spatial.
maker.
When there is the ball, tiki-taka controls the ball and creates space by passing the ball. When there is no ball, tiki-taka is also using its triangle. Once the ball is lost, the people involved in the passing triangle will
A defensive triangle is formed to quickly encircle the opponent's ball holder, surround the ball holder in a "box", and then encircle and suppress it. Tiki-taka's offensive weapon is also a defensive weapon.
Spanish football is mainly based on passing and controlling football. The individual skills of Spanish football are very strong. A ball is often passed through dozens of feet and then shot. The essence of short passing penetration makes the visual effect explode. Among them, the Spanish team has always used the midfielder as the offense.
Through precise passing, they can often launch a gorgeous offensive like mercury. However, apart from passing and controlling, their offensive methods have few other methods, and sometimes they will fail in vain when encountering the iron barrel formation.
The style of the Lions on the field left this impression on Lu Yao. Although it is a good thing to constantly pass the ball and look for opportunities, as long as the opponent's defensive formation does not waver at all, or cannot find opportunities, then this style will
It will become a burden, time will slowly be consumed, and the Lions will be in a disadvantageous situation. Therefore, the Lions also need to appropriately speed up the offensive rhythm.
Time passed slowly, and the first half of the game was already halfway through. At this time, the Lions had already brought Cuju into the opponent's half.
In the 442 formation adopted by the Wenyuan team, except for the two wingers, the other eight defensive players have retreated to their own half to defend. Due to the lengthening of the battle line, the two wingers have also reached near the center line.
, after all, if they wait for the Wenyuan team to complete the steal, the two of them cannot be positioned too far forward. Being near the midfield is more conducive to cooperating with the team to complete defensive counterattacks.
