When Azpilicueta receives the ball, the task of organizing the offense falls on his shoulders.
He must have observed the situation on the field before catching the ball, but what he saw then was definitely different from what he sees now.
Because the game format changes rapidly, players from both sides are always running around on the court.
Now because of his horizontal breakthrough and the movement of other players, a new situation has appeared on the court.
For example, there was a gap in the center of Bayern Munich's penalty area.
This gap doesn't seem big now, but of course with Gotze's movement, I believe it will get bigger and bigger, enough to squeeze a person in.
So now there is a multiple-choice question before Azpilicueta.
First, is he going to take advantage of this opening?
That's for sure. Isn't the purpose of passing the ball back and forth in offense just to create and exploit gaps like this?
Then the question comes - how to take advantage of this gap?
This is a test of a player's ability to organize offense.
Everyone agrees on seeing an opening and taking advantage of it.
But how to use it and make good use of it requires some level of skill.
Ordinary players may just send the football into this space.
But given the current size of the space, if he does this, it is very likely that he will pass the football directly to the opponent's player.
First of all, Van Buyten can quickly rush into the space and intercept the pass.
Secondly, even if Van Buyten can't catch up with him, he can always follow Klose to respond, making Klose unable to shoot directly.
Third, even if it is not passed to Klose, it is passed to other receiving players. Who else? Only Ballack, but Ballack is still some distance away from that space, and on the other hand, there is Bayern beside him.
What about Munich’s midfielder Gustavo?
If he moves forward to get into space at this time, Gustavo is not an idiot and will definitely follow him. With Gustavo between him and Azpilicueta, the success rate of this pass will be much lower.
Already.
So how to use this space to mobilize the opponent's defense through passing or breakthrough, so that Lazio can finally use this space to score, this will test Azpilicueta's organizational ability as a full-back.
What are the things through which organizational capabilities are reflected?
Vision, big picture, awareness, passing skills and determination.
First of all, he has to see the space, secondly he has to know how to pass the movement to guide the opponent's defender to move according to his own ideas, and then you have to have good enough passing skills to pass the football where you want it to go, and finally
, of course it’s determination. Once you decide, don’t hesitate to take action or miss the opportunity, take action immediately!
In daily training, Changsheng places great emphasis on improving the organizational skills of all players.
Various tactics classes and training in various offensive routines.
It’s meant to be used at times like this!
When a full-back like Azpilicueta receives the ball, he also knows what to do!
※※※
After Azpilicueta made a horizontal breakthrough, Gotze came up to meet him. The two were very close. Azpilicueta could also pass the football directly to Gotze, and then move laterally or vertically.
Move and play a one-two with Gotze.
But he didn't do it because it wasn't the best choice.
If he moves laterally and runs into the space, he will attract the defensive players there and the space will be gone.
If he moves vertically, full-back Contento will still be guarding the ball, so the chances are slim.
Since we are organizing an attack, we naturally aim for the goal of scoring goals.
So Azpilicueta chose an approach that could maximize the use of the space - he passed the ball across and let Gotze, who ran up to meet him, become a cover. His main function was to pull Badstuber away and create space.
Then he passed the football directly to Klose in the other ribs!
Klose did not step forward to receive the ball, and he also realized that this was a gap, so he chose to stay where he was. Although he did not step forward to receive the ball, Van Buyten, who was guarding him, did not move around to defend because he noticed Klose.
Desma's forward run.
He was afraid that if he went around to defend, he would succeed in destroying the pass. If he failed, Klose would receive the ball and pass it behind him, which would be a perfect breakthrough!
Ledesma will break into the penalty area completely unguarded and then face goalkeeper Bute alone.
This is too dangerous.
So Van Buyten chose a relatively conservative defensive strategy - to get behind Klose and prevent him from turning around easily.
This method can take care of two people, both to defend Klose and to pay attention to Ledesma.
If Klose wants to knock the football to Ledesma with his heel, he can turn around and return to defense immediately, leaving Klose to Altentop who is returning to defense.
While Klose received the ball, Ledesma continued to insert into the penalty area. David Silva chose the completely opposite strategy. He moved laterally and came to Klose, that is,
Behind the attack.
The advantage of his doing this is that it increases Klose's passing points. Klose can knock the football to Ledesma with his heel, or pass it back to him. In this position, he is facing the goal, and he can either directly
Long shots can also be used to reorganize the attack.
Lahm was in a dilemma because of Ledesma's advance - should he follow David Silva? Or run to defend Ledesma?
If he follows outside to defend David Silva, then in the penalty area there will be two Lazio players, Ledesma and Klose, facing Van Buyten alone. This is a very dangerous two-on-one situation!
Lahm finally chose to defend his position rather than blindly press out man-to-man marking.
It seems that Bayern Munich's defensive strategy is man-to-man, but it is actually zone defense. Everyone has their own area to cover. Position in defense is very important. As long as you can stay in position, it will increase the success rate of defense.
Lose your position and there will be a gap, which can be fatal!
These things all happen at the same time and very quickly.
Klose did not let the football stay at his feet for too long.
Because then he will be trapped in a tight siege.
This attack must be carried out quickly!
It is necessary to use fast passing and movement to completely disrupt the opponent's defense, making Bayern Munich's players feel dizzy and at a loss when defending.
Now he too has to make a choice, just like Azpilicueta.
When the football comes to his feet, he is the offensive organizer. He has to make the right choice. He can dribble the ball, turn around, break through and shoot, or he can use his heel to knock the football to Ledesma who is advancing forward, or he can put the football
It will be given to David Silva, or the football will be passed back to Gotze.
He has a lot of options, and having too many options in offense is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The bad thing is that you don't know which one to choose is the most correct. If you choose the wrong one, the offense that the team worked so hard to create will almost be wasted.
Making the right choices is also a quality that an organizer should possess.
Klose made the right choice.
He directly pushed the football diagonally into the penalty area.
The destination of football is the space in the middle that appears at the beginning!
※※※
It was a pure open space. Van Buyten was pressed behind him and was a little far away from the open space.
Badstuber was withdrawn by Gotze, and it will take time to turn around now.
After a series of passes and movements, this space has been completely formed!
So who is this space prepared for?
"Michelle Barak——!"
With a loud roar from the commentator, Ballack, who had been hesitating in front of the penalty area before, had shaken off Gustavo who was guarding him like lightning and inserted himself into the space in the penalty area!
Gustavo was completely attracted by Lazio's pass just now. When the football was at Klose's feet, he couldn't help but look over there, so much so that he temporarily ignored his defensive target!
By the time he reacts now, it's already too late!
Ballack shook him off and rushed into the penalty area!
At the same time, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Butt abandoned the goal and attacked!
Badstuber hurriedly turned around to defend Ballack, intending to clear the football before Ballack could.
None of the other Lazio players stood still and watched the show.
Ledesma continued to move forward, entered the penalty area, and prepared for a follow-up shot.
Gotze also turned around and moved forward, also preparing for a follow-up shot.
Klose did not join in the fun in front of the goal. He moved behind Ballack. If Ballack failed to attack this time and was rescued, he might fall to his feet and form a second attack.
This is a perfect offensive coordination!
Many people think that offense is as simple as player A passing the football to player B, player B passing it to player C, and then player C taking a shot and the football flying into the goal.
In fact, if you focus directly on the football, it is of course covered up, and you will only see the situation around the football.
But when you look at the overall situation, you will find that a seemingly ordinary attack is actually very complicated and contains a lot of knowledge and mystery.
It must be the clear division of labor and coordination of the whole team that allowed the final shooter to score.
For example, this time, without the movement and involvement of other Lazio players, how could there be an opening, and how could Ballack take advantage of it?
And even when Ballack had already inserted into the penalty area and ran into the space, other Lazio players were still running to cooperate with him.
Except for shooting, they took all situations into consideration and prepared for the attack.
However, Ballack did not let his teammates' precautionary preparations really come in handy.
He caught the football before Butt and Bad Stuber did!
Without dribbling or adjusting, he just shot!
Instead of a powerful volley, the football passed over Bute who had fallen to the ground, drew a parabola, and then fell into the empty goal behind Bute!
※※※
"Beautiful collective cooperation!" the Italian commentator shouted, "Lazio broke the deadlock in the 34th minute! The goal was Michel Ballack! The German captain scored the goal of his old club!"
"Barack! Ballack! Ballack! Lazio leads Bayern Munich 1:0! Will the game enter Lazio's rhythm again?!"
"Perfectly taking advantage of the space in the center, Ballack's forward penetration was very timely! This was a well-planned attack! When Bayern Munich's defense in the center was the tightest, the ball was finally scored from the center! Lazio's breakthrough was intensive The defensive ability is amazing! They seem to be locked in a battle with Bayern Munich - you focus on defending the center? Then we focus on attacking the center! Beautiful! This is why Lazio's offense is always so pleasing to the eye! Their offense is like It’s like smooth flowing water, full of movement and rhythm!” (To be continued.
