Since Gao Han debuted at Atletico Madrid, in just nine years, his pass-by and control style has been very popular from Spain to European football, and has made a lot of money. Especially the teams Gao Han coached have achieved quite outstanding results.

From FIFA and UEFA technical officials to the most ordinary fans, everyone knows that Gao Han’s trend of playing is the most advanced in the world football world and the future development trend. But why are there very few teams who can stick to such a style of play?

Not even talking about the way of playing through the pass, even the 4333 style that Gao Han relied on for his fame, did not use many teams?

The reason is very simple. Not every formation and every style of play can be promoted.

The 433 formation pays great attention to the players' personal abilities. For many mid- and downstream teams, it is difficult for them to have an advantage in their personal abilities when facing upstream teams. Therefore, for them, adopting the 433 formation is not only ineffective, but it is more like suicide.

The same is true for the way of passing and controlling play.

If you want to adopt the pass-and-control style, you must first have an excellent midfield organizer. Everyone knows that this type of player is the most scarce type in European football at present, and almost every midfield organizer is the treasure of his own team.

But having only one organizer is not enough, and a group of players with excellent technical skills need to be gathered.

Why didn't Perron play at Manchester United back then, but he shone in Chelsea, which Gao Han coached. After Gao Han left Chelsea, Perron quickly fell into a downturn, and it was not until he returned to the top after returning to Inter Milan?

The reason is very simple, see if there are a group of technical players around him who can be on the same frequency as him.

With various restrictions, the pass-by and control style is difficult to promote in major European leagues, and it may not be applicable even in the powerful teams in the four major leagues. First, the traditional styles of each team are different, and second, there is no such talent configuration.

Gao Han came to Manchester City this season. If he had not introduced a whole group of players, he would not have dared to fully promote his pass-and-control style. With Manchester City's team last season, he could only continue to take defensive counterattacks.

If it is difficult to find players who meet the pass and control style and difficult to find midfield organizers, then it is undoubtedly very difficult to find a player who can hold the ball at the forefront of the penalty area.

Those who can hold the ball, connect the midfield, and attack forward into the penalty area are almost unavailable.

So, after Kaka was injured, Gao Han tried Ellano and Stephen Ireland.

The former is a Brazilian player, with very thin feet and a free kick. However, his body is relatively thin and he cannot hold the ball at the front of the penalty area with dense defense.

Stephen Ireland was the best player in Manchester City last season. He was selected as the best player of the season by Manchester City fans. He has good skills and excellent passing skills. He is a bit like Scholes, but the problem is that he is not stable enough and has a bit of a nerve knife.

Gao Han also tried to play this position with Sturridge, but the effect was not satisfactory. Later, he played two games with Sanchez, one good and the other bad, and overall it was not satisfactory.

It is precisely because of the problem in this position that once Manchester City's ball path is pushed to the 30-meter area, once it is pressed by the opponent's tight pressing, the pass success rate will be greatly reduced, and the players lose patience and it is difficult for them to organize an effective offensive.

In several warm-up matches, Gao Han even used the skill card, and the effect was relatively average.

After all, the effect of skill cards depends on the overall performance of the team and the players' personal abilities to lay the foundation.

Now things are already very obvious. Kaka cannot return in a short period of time. Gao Han has only two choices, either to sign up.

But it will be difficult to contact the replacement candidate for a while, and after Kaka returns to the team, he will definitely play the main player.

Then the remaining choice is to change the array.

…………

"Change array?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard Gao Han's decision. Even Brian Kidd, who had always advocated changing the formation, felt strange, because Gao Han was clearly saying just now that the team's problems had nothing to do with the formation.

"Don't get me wrong. Everyone, we still have to play as a three-back, but we have to adjust in the midfield."

Brian Kidd frowned, thinking about Gao Han's meaning.

"We adopt a double midfielder to make Mascherano and Xavi Alonso a barrier in the midfield. David Silva and Modric are both ahead of the front and give them more freedom, allowing them to control the ball from the 30-meter area to the front of the penalty area, patiently seek opportunities, pass assists, and even go forward and break into the penalty area."

When everyone heard Gao Han say this, their eyes lit up and thought it was feasible.

David Silva and Modric are both very fine-fitting and able to drive the ball forward with their personal abilities under the opponent's strict defense, pushing them forward is indeed a way to solve this problem.

The actual effect is unclear, but at least it is feasible in theory.

As for midfield defense and interception, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso have both midfielders.

When many media and fans know a player, the first thing they do is to label the player. The reason is very simple, and it is easier to get to know after labeling it.

Therefore, when talking about a certain player, especially rookie, the media and fans often like to talk about the most is who his playing style is like, he is XXX II, or what his strengths and weaknesses are, and it is easy to exaggerate or ignore.

Just like Kaka, he dribbled the ball at high speed and made a breakthrough. This is Kaka's ultimate skill, but it is precisely because his characteristic is too eye-catching that many media and fans have forgotten that Kaka's feet are very fine, and he can play tricks and pass good balls like other Brazilian players.

Even Gao Han dares to say that Kaka's passing skills are very good, but he doesn't have much chance to show it in the tactical environment of AC Milan.

And Mascherano, everyone's first impression of him is defense.

Even he is hailed as the world's top defensive midfielder. One of the important reasons is that he can grab the ball and pass the ball to his teammates. However, outside of this, few people have paid attention to Mascherano's overall view and organizational ability are not weak at all.

It's just that his defense is too dazzling, and in Liverpool, he doesn't need to worry about this aspect, so everyone ignores that he has the strength in this aspect.

Therefore, Gao Han believes that with Mascherano and Xavi Alonso forming a double midfielder, this midfield barrier is definitely trustworthy and can steadily protect the team's defense line.

As long as the two midfielders are stable, David Silva and Modric can patiently pass the control in the 30-meter area, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez can pull out the gap in the frontcourt and then capture the murderous intent.

In this way, the team's offense will be alive.

Of course, all this has been Gao Han’s thinking until now, and it still needs to be practiced in training and tested in actual combat, but he believes that this idea may not be impossible to try.

"Have there any news next door recently?"

Also in Carrington, next to Manchester City's training base, in Manchester United's head coach's office, Ferguson asked his assistant Mike Perlan with a funny look.

Without Ferguson's explicit statement, Mike Perlan knew that what Ferguson said next door was Manchester City.

In the past, Manchester City's training base was not very attractive at all. I'm afraid many foreign fans didn't even know about their training base next to Manchester United. When they mentioned Carrington, they would only think of Manchester United.

But now, with Gao Han taking over, everyone knows that Carrington has two training bases, and the two Manchester heroes are here. In the hearts of many fans and tourists, Manchester City's training base is even more favored than Manchester United.

In the past, Ferguson didn't care about what was going on opposite side at all, but now he asked every few days, which made Mike Perlan almost decide to arrange a special person to stare at the next door twenty-four hours a day.

"There is no movement. After returning from the last warm-up match, Gao Han ordered a closed training camp to prepare for the new season."

Ferguson nodded, "Is the media still hyping Manchester City's warm-up game?"

When it comes to this matter, Mike Perlan wants to laugh a little.

"Who said it wasn't? It's still very hype. You also know the urinary nature of those media reporters. They just count on these hype news to promote sales. What's more, Manchester City invested more than 400 million euros this summer. Not to mention the whole Premier League, but to say the whole Europe. I don't know how many people are waiting to see jokes."

Ferguson nodded repeatedly.

European football is quite traditional after all, and nouveau riche like Manchester City often has mixed reputations.

As for those media reporters, how can they be honest for sales?

"Gao Han is probably in trouble during this period. Kaka was injured, which completely disrupted his plan. Manchester City now has a ball possession rate, but its offense is very disorderly. If you can't think of a solution in the past few days, you will probably suffer a big loss in the new season."

"Yeah." Mike Perlan also agreed, "Alledes has made a harsh talk. In the first game of the new season, he will give Gao Han a meeting gift at Ewood Park Stadium."

"Oh?" Ferguson laughed after hearing this, as if he was eager to see Gao Han return home in a crushing defeat at Ewood Park Stadium. "Allardyce is really good at picking the old fox. Now he is just taking advantage of Manchester City's chaos to win a victory and get a good start. Isn't Blackburn's morale overwhelming in the new season?"

"But Gao Han is not that easy to deal with." Mike Perlan also smiled.

"That's natural." Ferguson certainly wouldn't think Gao Han is easy to deal with, otherwise wouldn't he lose the Champions League final last season even more embarrassingly?

"But Allardyce is also not simple. He was frustrated at Newcastle two years ago, and it was just a small fall. Whether in Bolton or in Blackburn today, he is one of the most difficult head coaches in the Premier League. He took over the middle of last season and led Blackburn to relegate successfully is the best example."

Mike Perlan knew that in the Premier League, in addition to famous coaches like Ferguson, Benitez, Gao Han and Wenger, local coaches such as Alledes and Redknapp are also of good strength.

They seem to be not very famous, but they are all cruel characters who will capsize their wealthy families in minutes.

"Gao Han has always attached great importance to data analysis. Coincidentally, Allardyce is also a head coach who attaches great importance to data analysis. And I heard that he has been arranging personnel to track Manchester City's warm-up matches. I'm afraid Gao Han's seven inches is now stuck in his hands."

After Ferguson finished speaking, he chuckled again. He was happy to see Gao Han and Allardes fighting to the death, and he was reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

It should be said that Kaka's long-term absence was a very painful blow to Gao Han.

This undoubtedly gives the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

Of course, over the years, I don’t know how many teams and famous coaches have wanted to kill Gao Han, but there are still no ones that can be done.

Who has the chance to be this lucky person?
