Chapter 726

Wave defense has been easily practiced and used by Tottenham Hotspur, but wave attack has been trying and exploring, because offense pays more attention to disorder than defense, and emphasizes a feeling and creativity.

But the core concept is very clear, that is, it can not only launch a fierce offensive like a storm, but also a gentle offensive with a gentle breeze. But a very important point is that wave-like offensive emphasizes continuity, one wave after another, rather than a one-time transaction.

Especially when the ball reaches the frontcourt, you should start the offensive quickly when you have the chance, and if you don’t have the chance, you should hold the ball first and then slowly look for opportunities, because once you barely make an adventurous gambling pass without the chance, the offensive effect will be very poor and bad. Not to mention scoring a goal, the ball rights will be transferred at any time, causing the opponent to strike back.

Ramsey received a pass from Kyle Walker from the right. The ball was very comfortable and the landing point was very good. Ramsey had no problem stopping the ball, but the problem was that the ball had been in the air for too long, and Ramsey quickly reacted. After Ramsey stopped the ball, he was close to him as soon as possible, so Ramsey chose to protect the ball with his back.

Did the opportunity disappear?

No, Tottenham Hotspur is best at creating offensive opportunities, and if the so-called wave attack is simply moving from the right to the left, what else is there to be commendable and research?

After Kyle Walker passed the ball, Marcelo rushed forward quickly as soon as possible, because he knew that Kyle Walker would take the initiative to retreat to the defense line after passing the ball, so his forward insertion would not pose a threat to the defense line.

The Brazilian leaned forward against the left line. When Ramsey was protecting the ball with his back, he rushed over quickly from Ramsey. In a short time, he created a problem for Ramsey, whether to defend Marcelo or Ramsey?

On the surface, Ramsey held the ball and Marcelo was out of the ball. It seemed that the Brazilian was not threatening, but Ram himself knew very well that he was not sure that he could stop Ramsey's pass to Marcelo, especially when he saw that Pirlo was approaching, even if Ramsey couldn't pass the ball, he just knocked back to Pirlo, and the latter would directly find Marcelo, and the latter could make a cross from the wing.

This kind of cross ball close to the goal, as long as the landing point is well controlled, the threat is still very great.

Ram responded in an instant, and he called Gustavo and Schweinsteiger and other teammates, letting them get stuck, and turned around to defend Marcelo, which was his duty as a right-back.

As soon as Ram went, Pirlo shouted at two o'clock. Ramsey immediately turned to the right, facing the middle. As soon as he turned around, before Schweinsteig and other defensive players approached, he rubbed a ball with his right foot, and the landing point was at the top of the arc of the penalty area to the right.

The whole process seems to be very slow, but in fact it is a very critical adjustment period.

Bayern Munich's defense line was originally tilted towards Ribery's side, but Kyle Walker suddenly made a diagonal pass on the left. After Ramsey got the ball, and Marcelo stepped forward at high speed, Bayern Munich's defense line must move to the left to cope with the potential threat from the left. But Ramsey suddenly made a diagonal pass and moved the ball to the right side of the midfield.

During this continuous horizontal transfer, Jerome Boateng made a mistake. The distance between him and Cavani was a little wider, and Ramsey's cross was also very smart, and he went directly behind Jerome Boateng and Cavani.

So Jerome Boateng was helpless. He was desperately trying to rush to the defensive position, but Cavani did not even need to jump, and headed the ball directly to the penalty area. Messi, who was still ambushing the outside of the penalty area, quickly followed up and formed a one-on-one strike.

Neuer grasped the situation in the penalty area just right. Although the goalkeeper was young, he was very capable and brave. When he saw Cavani header back, he immediately realized that the defense line had been broken, so he made an amazing judgment in an instant, that is, attack.

In fact, when Messi rushed up and wanted to shoot directly, Neuer had already spread his arms and rushed forward, and the shooting angle was blocked. Messi's reaction was indeed fast enough. Moreover, he was a left-footed player, and his left foot gently turned the action that was originally going to shoot, and poked Neuer's right side with a poke.

The ball was almost touching the grass and penetrated under Neuer's arm. The German goalkeeper reacted quickly enough and wanted to defend with an emergency stop. However, Messi's stabbing was in a hurry, which was a bit too big.

But the Argentinian started very fast and was very flexible. After rushing up quickly, he made a very awkward action of shooting with his right foot before the ball went out of the baseline. After completing it, the whole person turned around for half a circle and fell on the turf and rolled. It was obvious that this action was too difficult and his body lost its balance.

The ball was padded by Messi, and it flew over the right post, hitting the inside of the left post, and hitting the goal line.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

All the fans in the north stands of the Allianz Stadium rushed out of their seats, and each one made deafening shouts, shouting Messi's name, and each one became extremely excited and extremely excited.

"1:0 in the 32nd minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur finally scored first"

"Go from Leo Messi"

Then he saw Messi rolling on the grass for two laps and kneeling. As soon as he heard the deafening cheers from the stands, the entire Allianz Stadium was like a volcano erupting, as if even the earth was shaking. He immediately realized that he had scored the goal, turned his head and saw that the ball was in the goal line.

For a moment, he jumped up from the ground excitedly and rushed to the North Stand. He clenched his fists along the way, kept opening his mouth and making a shout and roar. When he rushed to the bottom of the North Stand, he raised his left hand and first gave a thumbs up in the stands, but soon he put his thumbs into his mouth and made a pacifier.

"It's so cute. Is this a celebration action that I thought of in advance?" The commentator on the scene obviously did not know the specific meaning of the action. Except for Tottenham Hotspur players and Ye Qiu and others, no one knew what the action meant, but the camera still captured the scene of Messi's family and girlfriend in the stands.

Antonella was obviously moved by Messi's celebration move, covering her face, as if sobbing.

"Tottenham Hotspur was a very, very outstanding attack. We just said that Tottenham Hotspur asked Cavani to cooperate from both wings. This has happened several times, but this time it has changed a way. Messi and Ribery dribbled the ball and cut inside, but this time it was Ramsey's diagonal pass in the penalty area and found Cavani header. Although the methods are different, the effect is very obvious, which is the fatal weakness of attacking Bayern Munich."

Badstuber and Jerome Boateng both have weaknesses and shortcomings in air control. Among them, Badstuber's best is assisting defense and shooting, but the weakness of the high ball is obvious. Jerome Boateng's advantage is physical fitness, but his sense of position is relatively poor, and he often does not concentrate. He is prone to making mistakes when dealing with some complex scenes.

When they were playing against Dortmund, they made many mistakes when defending Lewandowski, which led to the latter's hat-trick. Now, Jerome Boateng still has problems with defending Cavani.

"Before this game, the media revealed that Heinx felt hesitant when it was last Dimoshchuk or continued to trust these two young center backs, but in the end he chose to continue to trust Badstuber and Jerome Boateng because he believed that this combination of central defenders could ensure Bayern Munich's stable midfield and backcourt."

"But there is a point to get the ball, but the weakness is also exposed, that is, the defense of the high ball."

"It's not just Jerome Boateng and Badstuber, Ram and Contento have problems with the high ball defense on both wings. We have seen Cavani consciously transfer to the wing to compete for a long pass from the backcourt more than once. This is worth Heinx's care, after all, he's already behind with one goal."

In fact, there is another level of problem that many people have not noticed, that is Robben.

As Bayern Munich's number one superstar, Robben's performance was indeed quite outstanding after joining the Bundesliga, but the problem is that he almost never participates in defense.

One of the most important reasons why Marcelo was so passive just now was that Robben did not retreat.

Don't underestimate this retreat. If Robben comes back, even if he just returns to the midfield, Schweinsteiger can quickly return to defense. After Ram goes to Marcelo, Ramsey will still be curbed. At least he will not be able to cross as easily as before.

Of course, if we can follow Marcelo to retreat and complete a handover with Ram, let Ram go with Marcelo and Robben to defend Ramsey, I believe the effect will be better

But Robben's failure to actively return to defense, or even fails to return to defense, put Ram in a very passive situation.

Tottenham Hotspur’s defense actually has a targeted arrangement, that is, focus on clamping Thomas Mueller’s left side, Kyle Walker has always maintained a close connection with the two central defenders, and Marcelo is on the left side of Robben, with the focus on curbing Robben’s inward cut.

In the opening and over half an hour of the first half, Robben scored the most in almost all the opportunities he got, but without exception, they were all wave shots. Either they were shots barely when their body lost balance, or they were shots in a hurry when they were contained by defensive players, and the effect was very bad.

There is an unknown detail that in the past week, when Tottenham Hotspur was focusing on the offensive and defensive confrontation, Ye Qiu consciously arranged Hazard to deal with Marcelo, and he specifically asked Hazard to cut inside instead of bottoming the bottom. The reason is very simple. Robben basically cut inside at the right winger.

Hazard's small steps and dribble are similar to Robben's speed, so using him to compete with Marcelo on one-on-one will undoubtedly help Brazil's left-back get used to Robben's good habits. The more difficult thing about Hazard than Robben is that the Belgian has left and right feet, while Robben only has left feet.

This targeted training arrangement even came to the familiar field training at Allianz Stadium, but many people did not notice it.

During the game, Marcelo was obviously more confident in adapting to Robben's rhythm and speed, as well as his emergency stop and cut in.

"This is a problem"

In the coaching seat of the Allianz Stadium, right-hand assistant Herman said to Heinx with some embarrassment.

This is an experienced assistant coach. He has been an assistant coach in Leverkusen for a long time. When Leverkusen was the king of Sanya, Hermann was an indispensable member of the team. Later, he went to Nuremberg for a while, but after Heinx took over Leverkusen, he accepted the invitation and returned to Leverkusen, and then came to Bayern Munich with Heinx.

Thirty or forty years of football career told him that the situation has become clear until now.

Tottenham Hotspur, a strong team that is very balanced in offense and defense, often has more choices and changes in the game. Bayern Munich is now facing a dilemma because on the one hand, it is difficult for them to master the ball control, and without the ball control, their offense will not be able to play characteristics.

You should know that Bayern Munich is not a counterattack team, and more importantly, Bayern Munich's defense has very obvious weaknesses and shortcomings, that is, defense of high balls.

There were Lucio and Van Biden, but as Van Biden gradually faded out, neither Badstuber nor Jerome Boateng showed much competitiveness in high balls. At least at the center-back level, they were considered unqualified, and both of them were tall, but they had flaws in defensive high balls.

This is also the reason why Heinx hesitated before the game whether to play against Dimoshchuk. Although the latter is not tall, his defense is more stable and he does better in the game and position. With him, Badstuber and Jerome Boateng can drag the back and make up for defense.

But in the end, Heinx was considerate and chose Badstuber and Jerome Boateng's partner, because he first considered that the team could steadily win possession.

But until now the game is in progress, the situation has completely exceeded their plans.

"Tottenham Hotspur has changed too much. Their players are more tactical and resilient. They can defend when they retract and attack when they stretch out. Such a team is the most troublesome." Heinx shook his head and sighed.

As Saki said, all great teams are balanced teams that can attack and defend.

Tottenham Hotspurs are now, they have weaknesses, shortcomings, and shortcomings, but when you want to take advantage of their weaknesses, shortcomings and shortcomings, they often only need to make some local adjustments in detail to block you, and may even use your adjustments to create murderous intent.

Another point is that Tottenham Hotspur’s staffing is too reasonable.

The combination of Thiago Silva and Kompany is the first combination in today's football world. It has built the most outstanding defense line in today's football world. It is called Chelsea's Triga Cannavaro and Carvalho and Manchester United's Vidiciga Ferdinand, and another pair of golden partners emerged in the football world.

The two players are very complementary, but both are very comprehensive. Thiago Silva almost defends the ball, but defends the ball is Kompani's strength. After many years of cooperation, the two players have developed a very deep understanding, allowing them to switch defensive formations and queues at will during the game.

It is worth noting that Tottenham Hotspur has a strong central defender reserve, and the two young players Nastasic and Varane are also very favored by experts. With time, they may be able to successfully take over the teams of Kompani and Thiago Silva.

The midfielder Ramsey, Vidal and Pirlo are combined, both offense and defense, and both soft and hard.

Ribery, Cavani and Messi in the frontcourt are also a combination of offense and defense, especially Cavani, who can disrupt the opponent's defense line, and Ribery and Messi are also actively engaged in counter-attack.

From front to back, Tottenham Hotspur's entire tactical system is very compact and very strict, and it is almost difficult to find an obvious weakness and deficit. Before, Newcastle finally caught the loophole of a single midfielder, but who can use this loophole to attack?

Even a team like Barcelona with such strong attack power has been slaughtered by nine goals in two rounds. Who dares to say that he can challenge Tottenham Hotspur? Who dares to say that he can compete with Tottenham Hotspur?

"It is already very difficult for a head coach to train a great team that is both offensive and defensive in his life. But in just a few years, Ye Qiu has trained three different team combinations of offensive and defensive teams, which is really admirable."

Ye Qiu showed off his strength during the Ajax era, mainly focusing on strong attacks, but after arriving at Chelsea, he gradually matured and used the huge amount of funds provided by Abramovich as a backing to introduce a very balanced offense and defense. Even now, he is still talked about by countless fans.

That is, Ye Qiu, the solid foundation laid for Chelsea even now, is still nourishing Chelsea.

But after switching to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu once again showed his magical skills and trained a Tottenham Hotspur that is adapted to the Premier League, but is also very delicate and creative. The two consecutive Champions League championships are the best evaluation and affirmation of this team, and will surely be recorded in history.

But in a blink of an eye, some of the superstars in the team were sold and rebuilding, but in just one or two years, Tottenham Hotspur, which is now more balanced, resilient, and more varied, with both soft and hard.

Even Heinx had to admire Ye Qiu, because this was his greatest wish and hope.

Today's Tottenham Hotspur reminds Heinx of the Juventus led by Lippi when he met when he coached Real Madrid. The difference is that Ye Qiu is more inclined to attack, but both teams have a typical feature, that is, the amazing offensive and defensive balance.

Juventus reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons, with superstars such as Zidane, Davis, Piero, and Deschamps gathering. Now, Tottenham Hotspur has also gathered superstars such as Messi, Ribery, Cavani, and Pirlo. Both teams have very, very outstanding strength.
