Vol 2 Chapter 57: Freiburg's cage

Not long after the game started, Zhou Yi saw the football style of Freiburg U19.

The three lines are really close, and the back line is very close.

This kind of play with dozens of meters behind him looks dangerous, but in fact, they used this tactic to reach the final of the Youth German Cup this season.

why?

If there is no system, Zhou Yi may not be able to appreciate the power of this tactic until this final.

But with the system, he has experienced many times in advance.

He knows why this set of tactics that seems to be empty behind him is so powerful.

Freiburg U19's play style requires that each player is not far away, three lines, and the distance between each line is kept very compact.

The integration of the three lines is like a cage, trapping opponents in it, and aggressively grabbing high positions makes it difficult for opponents to send football out of the cage.

As soon as their opponents get the ball, even at the front of their penalty area, they will be robbed by Freiburg players. This creates an unprecedented tension and makes it difficult for the players to handle the ball calmly and calmly There will be a lot of mistakes in the process of the other party's forcing.

These mistakes will immediately translate into Freiburg's attack.

Dortmund U19 head coach Jebala repeatedly emphasized to his players that Freiburg is a very defensive team. Indeed, they have the third fewest goals in the southern division of the U19 league.

But Zhou Yi and his head coach have different views. He doesn't think this is a proof of Freiburg's excellent defense. On the contrary, he thinks that Freiburg is a team that is better at attacking.

Freiburg led by Streich played not defensive football but offensive football.

Why is there such a recognition?

On the one hand, Zhou Yi consulted some data of the Freiburg U19 in reality on the Internet. On the other hand, he obtained the data after repeatedly playing against the Freiburg U19 in the virtual system, and then analyzed and summarized it.

In the virtual system, Freiburg U19 can create an average of 11 scoring opportunities per game. This data is very impressive. Zhou Yi compared the Dortmund U19 virtual team where he is, and only averaged 13 times per game.

But be aware. Dortmund has itself and Goetze, but Freiburg U19?

I have not heard that they have players with excellent offensive organization.

What do they rely on?

Relying on this high position to snatch.

In Freiburg's 442 formation, the defense started when the two forward players at the top harassed the defender with the ball in hand. As soon as the ball passes, all the players start to press their opponents forward. At the same time, they will maintain a close position near the midfield. Through the purposeful continuous positioning to compress the space and isolate the opponent players, so that the opponent does not have much time and space to organize the offense, and it is difficult to penetrate their compact and orderly Ordered formation.

This collective oppression will give Freiburg many opportunities to fight back in the frontcourt, which is why they have created so many scoring opportunities.

But after playing dozens of times with this team. Zhou Yi also understands that the system of Freiburg does not run smoothly every time, and the cage they woven is not so airtight and difficult to fly.

As long as it is a system of people, there will definitely be loopholes.

Although Freiburg can create an average of 11 scoring opportunities per game, the probability that they will convert these scoring opportunities into goals is very low, only 12%.

The reason is that Freiburg lacks a forward with excellent scoring ability. Their two forwards need less defensive harassment tasks, so they have less energy to score. In addition, Zhou Yi inspected their lineup and found that there is no striker who can score. But he sat on the bench.

Why is that?

Does Freiburg's head coach Streich not know this?

Zhou Yi analyzed it and felt that it was Streich's helpless choice-Freiburg's collective oppression requires players to maintain a high degree of concentration throughout the game, always aware of the position and movement of teammates and opponents and follow. The two forwards are constantly tossing and swapping, and cruising in a wide range, which requires high running ability. The striker with excellent scoring ability is just not good. If he is allowed to start, he can score, but it will affect the operation of the entire system. In the end, he will not only be unable to score, but will also drag the team.

This is actually the same as Schneider in Dortmund. Schneider's scoring ability is good, especially the positive scoring ability facing the goal.

But why was he still won in this game?

Because he will paralyze the entire tactical system that Dortmund is currently playing, he can only make a choice.

Freiburg's scoring ability is relatively weak, which means that Dortmund has time and opportunity to score.

Now I am looking at who has a higher success rate.

in this aspect. Zhou Yi believes that his teammates, whether it is Kinchek, or Getzer and Mark, have good scoring abilities.

Among them, Goetze and Kinchek have the best scoring ability, followed by Mark.

But it is Mark that has made the most progress.

Zhou Yi remembers the first time he saw Mark. How miserable is Mark's shooting data, it is better than himself.

That was the data seven months ago.

But in these seven months, Mark really made a change. Maybe I read it every day, and I don’t think there is any change in Mark. However, after looking back at the original Mark after seven months, Zhou Yi was surprised by the changes of his friends.

From the data point of view, Mark's shooting value has become fifty-nine. From forty-four to fifty-nine, an increase of fifteen points. This has something to do with Mark's efforts in shooting training. In addition to the physical strength training, he will also give himself shooting training, which is the reason for his data growth.

But looking at this number alone is still not very good.

But sometimes the data expression is very one-sided. Shooting can't just look at the data.

Mark has scored a total of seven goals since he started in Dortmund U19. The number of goals is not too much, but there are not many. This is a normal level for Mark. Can't compare with the eighteen goals of U17 morale, because there are too many goals in U17 are Zhou Yi's babysitter assists, Mark shot almost effortlessly.

In U19, Mark will continue to confront the opponent's defender in the front, and at the same time he will continue to involve the running position. Create some offensive opportunities for Ginchek and Goetze, which all affected his number of goals.

So why can Mark squeeze Schneider better than he can?

Because in fact, Mark is not the kind of person who regards goals as a mustache.

Zhou Yi also had this illusion at the beginning, probably because Mark's excellent ball-free running position and the ability to find a gap misled him.

Make him think that Mark is an Inzaghi striker.

But later, with this July time. Mark changed step by step, and Zhou Yicai discovered that Mark was a 9th and a half.

He is not a center like Schneider who can hit the head of the front and bomb the opponent's goal. Although he can play a single center in front, in that case, his ability to score goals will be greatly limited. What did he do when he was a center?

Pass the ball to teammates and do the ball.

Because he has an excellent ability to discover Kongdang, he can run to Kongdang and can also find Kongdang. Then when he cannot run to Kongdang, he can pass football to Kongdang. This is similar to Zhou Yi, but his position is closer to the goal than Zhou Yi.

In the U19 Western League derby in the Ruhr area, Dortmund finally defeated the goal of Schalke 04. Zhou Yi scored, is it not Mark assists?

He saw this emptiness, and Zhou Yi also saw it. Zhou Yi runs to the air, he passes the football to the air. The goal came naturally.

Mark is more flexible than Schneider's center, regardless of position or shape. If there is a center next to him, he can capture the record and score.

When he can't score, he can also integrate into the team's offensive system and use his running position, involvement and passing to help other teammates get opportunities.

Some players are system players and they must play well in a particular system.

But Zhou Yi thinks that Mark is not. Mark is the kind of team that goes to any place, no matter what tactics that team plays, there will always be a place for him.

He can play as a striker, or he can withdraw his back. He can also play the ninth half between the striker and the front waist. If he plays double forwards, he will have more chances to score. If he plays a single forward, he can provide shells for the midfield teammates who plug in later. If he hits back nine and a half, he can attack in series. Contributing to the team's entire offensive system is like a screw, maybe the individual is not outstanding, but the whole team benefits.

What a good player...what head coach wouldn’t want?

In fact, Mark also had a wrong understanding of himself before, and felt that he was a forward who was waiting for his teammates to feed him the ball, and he was not willing to run a few more steps. He felt that he was Inzaghi second.

But after Zhou Yi arrived, he rose to U19, and he realized his previous mistakes.

When he realized his mistake and corrected it, his change came.

And Ybala was willing to give him a chance to prove himself again. In the end, he came off the bench in the Ruhr Derby against Schalke 04, scoring two goals and one assist, perfect proof of his tactical value.

It also laid the idea of ​​Dortmund U19 Trident in Yebara's heart.

Among the three players, Zhou Yi has an excellent passing ability~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Looking for a free ability, he can serve as the core commander in the trident. Goetze can shoot and pass, and has the most comprehensive ability. It is the most important arrow figure in the trident. And Mark, with the best tactical consciousness, is willing to make a wedding dress for others, can cooperate well with Zhou Yi and Gete, and is willing to make sacrifices for the team. These factors make him an indispensable lubricant for the Trident, and he is less Now, this trident does not work at all. With his presence, the trident is transformed into a revolver that can threaten the opponent's goal no matter who-three people can turn into bullets to take the opponent's life.

It can be said that Mark has enriched the possibility of trident routines.

Mark may never be able to score that kind of golden boots, but his position in the team will not become unimportant because of fewer goals.

For example, if there is no mark in this final, Zhou Yi will have to work harder to win Freiburg.

Now, he believes that Mark will support himself and help himself. He also believes that Mark also has such trust in himself.

They have practiced this quick pass and cut cooperation for more than a month, isn't it used in opponents like this kind of game? (To be continued.)
