Football Should Be Played Like Me

It is said that the trend is a cycle, and football is the same.

Since the creation of the first tactical system in football, it is destined that there will be a day when tactics come to an end, because there are only so many positions on the field, and the changes are endless.

In fact, in the world that Lu Yang lives in, football tactics are coming to an end.

From the earliest enlightenment football, to the emergence of pyramid tactics, to the invincible WM tactics, to the Hungarians' center retreat, which gave birth to the false nine, to the emergence of defensive football, chain defense, and zone defense in the 1960s And Dacheng, in the 1970s, the Dutch all-offense and all-defense tactics and the birth of 433, man-marking tactics, free man tactics, the birth of 442, tiki-taka extreme pass control, melon-style Manchester City and so on.

Until a long period of time, there was no fundamentally new thing in football theory, but various head coaches were using the things in the past to make a higher level of patchwork and combination.

But there are only so many basic things, and the combination will eventually be exhausted.

Where will football tactics go then?

In fact, Lu Yang's era has already touched a part of it.

That's dynamic tactics.

Of course, these are still too advanced for this era, where pass-and-control football has not yet fully emerged.

Back to Sanremo.

Sanremo's current problem is that there is no playmaker in the midfield, which makes it almost impossible for them to launch any organization and non-counterattack offensive.

And if the goal is only to stay in Serie C, then they can indeed play defensive counterattack tactics, and Sanremo will not have any tactical troubles.

But the problem is that their goal this season is to upgrade, they have to play more proactively, and defensive counterattack can't be their main tactic.

So they have to have an offensive core to tear apart the opposing defense.

If the court is viewed as an upright rectangular nine-square grid, then the second and eighth grids are the goal of both sides and the area directly in front of the goal.

This is always the most threatening position.

In the 20-year European Golden Boot Lewandowski's shooting position statistics for the whole year, 92% of the shots are concentrated in this area, that is, the position in the middle near the penalty area.

So in the early days of football, it was very simple, just stare at these two positions to play, and the person who wins this position wins the world.

And the people closest to this position are the attacking midfielder and the center.

However, the center is deeply surrounded by the opponent's defender. Instead, the attacking midfielder between the opponent's defender line and the midfield line has become the most threatening person.

In fact, the rise of the classical front waist is also true.

However, because of the importance attached to this area, the later teams protected this position very well. The attacking midfielder in this position often had to face the flanking attacks of multiple defenders and fierce physical confrontation.

Although most classical midfielders have superb skills, physical confrontation is not their strength.

In this context, the team's core rear has become a trend.

When Manello made his debut, he played as an attacking midfielder, and then turned into a midfielder or even a midfielder.

But with the development of the times, after more than ten years, the post-organizational core is gradually less applicable.

On the one hand, the rhythm of modern football is accelerating, and the rear core will miss many fleeting opportunities.

At the same time, although the full attack and full defense did not dominate the football world, the frontcourt pressing tactics it brought made the survival of the rear core dangerous.

In addition, the improvement of the overall quality of the players and the ability of the central defender and the midfielder to play the ball also make the rear core relatively tasteless.

Finally, the long-term adaptation to the post-core playing method has caused most teams to lose their fear and focus on the attacking midfield position as they did many years ago.

Therefore, the front-core kicking method also has new possibilities.

Ezelet is an adaptor of the times, which came into being and is destined to promote the update of Serie A tactics.

And Lu Yang is just a wave in the wave that Izerite set off.

Of course, this wave may also become a rear wave stronger than the front wave, but it is not necessarily true.

……

At the Sanremo training ground, there is a training match going on.

This is San Remo's closed training ahead of the second round of the Coppa Italia.

It is very dangerous to change the style of play before the battle. Even the famous football coach Gua Gualong enlightens the bald Englishman, but he always suffers from this problem.

But fortunately, Sanremo's new style of play is actually not too far from their original style of play.

The one who really needs to adapt to this change is their core Lu Yang himself.

Sanremo's 4213, the main wing.

But unlike those devil wings in the future, Sanremo's wings are typically broken wings.

On the left, Bayzami didn't say anything, and cooperated with the black hole.

The left back is the team's original center back Rondo and a backup right back.

The right flank is also not much better, perhaps more stable defensively, but the right winger Fernandez is also unable to fly.

But Suotu still chooses this way of playing, because it doesn't matter whether the wings can fly or not, because it is the team's attacking midfielder that really decides the outcome.

The fundamental purpose of choosing the wing play method is to send the football to the frontcourt in the simplest way.

Without Moric, the Sanremo midfielder is no longer lacking in creativity. They don't even have the ability to sort out.

If you have to leave the football to the midfielder, it will breed all kinds of problems.

Simply, when attacking, you don't need to be in the midfield, and just throw the ball to the front from the flank.

The defensive pressure on the sideways is relatively less, and the football will be passed more smoothly.

At this time, Lu Yang, the attacking midfielder, approached the side with the ball, received the ball, cooperated with the flanks, and looked for opportunities.

When Lu Yang plays left back, his favorite area is the left flank.

The attacking midfielder position can completely liberate Lu Yang, giving him the power to launch attacks on the left and right ribs at the same time.

In this position, Lu Yang can shoot, pass, break through, and has a strong physical confrontation ability, which is simply a big killer.

Likewise, the rib area is very threatening even from set pieces. Therefore, Lu Yang will be fouled a lot less than when he is in the midfield and backcourt, which to a certain extent makes up for his weak ball-handling ability.

boom!

During the training match, Lu Yang kicked his foot in the ribs and scored directly.

The players were all excited because Lu Yang was obviously very adaptable to the new tactical system.

This is a lot better than the feeling of being so powerful in the first few games.

Manieiro is on the pitch, and he has also been at Sanremo in recent days.

"In terms of offense, Lu Yang has been completely activated. He is more threatening near the goal. His shooting is the guarantee of his threatening ability. No one dares to let him fire at will from the attacking midfield position." Manello said.

"But if you play like this, the team will be out of touch." Tom said, pointing to the field.

On the court, when Lu Yang holds the ball, the two full-backs will also press forward appropriately and become full-backs.

In order to make up for the defensive loophole caused by the full back's pressing forward, the two midfielders, Ratuidi and Welsach, have to stay behind to fill in.

From the back waist to Lu Yang's front waist, the remaining large area in the middle is empty.

This is almost equivalent to cutting off an arm, especially not conducive to the team's offense.

"Isn't that why we chose this style of play?" Maniero laughed. "The way we pass the football forward, we ignore our midfield and midfield. We are giving up midfield and attacking. , this is the price we have to pay for the time without Moric."

Tom said: "Well, there is no midfielder involved in the offense. Just relying on Lu Yang's star-level performance may be effective. But what about defense? If there is no midfielder, our defense will be very dangerous."

At this time, Suotu stood up and pointed at Lu Yang on the field: "This is the difference between Lu Yang and Izerite. In terms of defense, he can return from the opponent's penalty area to our penalty area."

"He can defend from the left to the right, and his coverage is the entire court, the whole!"

"Although I don't know why he is only seventeen years old, he has such a terrifying running ability, but there is a saying in the East that diligence can make up for one's shortcomings. Offense depends on talent, defense depends on attitude, he is the link between Sanremo's frontcourt and backcourt in defense. bridge."

"If it is said that the core of the midfield before is to adapt Lu Yang to the tactical system specially created by the team for Morich. From now on, what he has to adapt to is the tactics specially created for him by the team. system."

"Everything in this set of tactics exists to allow Lu Yang to better utilize his own strengths!"

boom!

On the training ground, another goal was born.

This time, after Lu Yang attracted the defender, he sent a through ball to Sauger.

He really enjoys this tactical system.

Like a wild horse running free.

But these changes in Sanremo are unknown to the outside world.

As far as the outside world is concerned, what they saw was Lu Yang's loss in the original 433 system.

The media headed by "Republic" once again commented on Lu Yang's performance.

Especially in the league round that just happened, Lu Yang suffered the first draw in his career, which is even more worth mentioning by these media.

It wasn't until Brescia, a strong Serie B team, came to the Sunshine City, that the news slowed down a little.

And the purpose is not to let Lu Yang and Sanremo go, the purpose is to whip the corpse after Brescia defeats Sanremo!

……

At the pre-match press conference.

The head coach of Brescia is very stable. He said that the team does not value the outcome of this game. Their goal this year is to hit Serie A, and the Coppa Italia is not in their plan.

In this game, they were more about letting substitutes play to find their form.

This doesn't mean looking down on San Remo in any way. That's how many teams feel about the cup.

There are teams who don't pay attention to it before the top 16, the top eight, or even the top four.

Even, in the later stage, because of the pressure of the league championship, the Champions League, and the Europa League, even if you enter the semi-finals, you can give up the Coppa Italia.

But that is for the Serie A giants.

The Coppa Italia is a great honor for most of the non-strong teams in Serie A, not to mention the second-tier teams.

So, if possible, Brescia certainly hopes they can go further.

The reason why they let the substitutes play is because they think the substitutes are enough to beat Sanremo.

It's not that they don't know Sanremo at all, or, because of the conflict between Lu Yang and La Repubblica, almost half of the Italian football world knows what problems Sanremo is encountering now.

The core is injured.

Not to mention that the new core is extremely unsuitable, and even lost the dominance of the previous competition.

The entire team is extremely lacking in offense.

Such a team, to exercise the bench and young players, let them find confidence, it is simply better.

On Sanremo's side, Suotu brought Lu Yang to the pre-match press conference.

After Sotu announced Sanremo's lineup, the reporters at the scene suddenly had the urge to ask questions.

Reporter: "Sotu, is this true? Sanremo has never played a 4213 formation before, but you have arranged it in the face of a strong enemy. You have such high demands on your own players, do they know?"

Suotu said with a black face: "This lineup is not much different from our previous style of play, and most players can adapt."

Reporter: "Are you sure? These are completely two sets of play around different cores. Your previous 433 core was Morich in the middle, but what about now? We can see in the first few games that Lu Yang is incompetent. The back-core kick."

Suotu: "So I put him forward, he is no longer a midfielder, he is the 1 in that 4213!"

Reporter: "You must be crazy! He was uncomfortable playing in the back, but you let him go in front? I can even imagine what kind of catastrophic performance he will have next."

Suotu: "Let's wait and see. By the way, you are a reporter from the Republic, right?"

Reporter: "Yes."

Suotu: "Security guard! Didn't Lu Yang say that reporters from the Repubblica will never be welcomed at the press release site in Sanremo! Ask him to go out immediately, and don't let this happen again in the future!"

The reporter from the Republic newspaper left the scene in frustration.

Don't talk about martial arts!

At this time, other reporters asked: "Lu Yang, can you talk about your performance in the previous games? We can see that you were very tenacious, and you won two games for the team in a very unfavorable situation. Win a draw."

"Everyone can see your struggle in Moric's position. How will you handle this game?"

This is a neutral reporter, and the question is very sincere, in one sentence.

Lu Yangdao: "Sanremo doesn't need a second Morich. In this game, I will bring a victory to the team in my own way."

Reporter: "Victory? Are you sure? Your opponent is a strong Serie B team!"

Lu Yang: "I'm absolutely sure!"

Reporter: "Okay, then look forward to your performance."

……

In the team's locker room, Sotu was explaining to the players how to play the other side.

Sanremo want to do something in the Coppa Italia, so they have a special study of each opponent in the cup.

It is not difficult to obtain Serie B data.

After all, he still has a good friend, Manieiro, who has nothing to do at the moment, is he not busy? www.NovelMTL.com~ There are rumors that Manieiro is likely to accept the Italian youth team coach next summer. , leading the Italian teenagers to the European Youth Championship.

And if he does it well, he may become the head coach of the Italian national team in the summer of the following year and lead the team to the World Cup!

Of course, the premise is that the Italian national team can break through from the World Cup qualifiers.

As one of the candidates for the future head coach of the national youth team and national team, Manello should have a deep understanding of Italian football, so he has almost all the information of Serie A and Serie B teams.

"Brescia's lineup is a traditional 442 formation, the midfield is parallel, and the strikers are the speed player Arnold that everyone is familiar with." Sotu said, "Because most of them are substitute players, they are actually not strong, even in tacit understanding. It's not as good as us."

"I ask our defense not to overwhelm, not to give the opponent a chance to counterattack, and to try to attack after stabilizing the situation."

"Lu Yang, their parallel midfielder can't be prevented from advancing. As long as you can pass one person, you will pass the entire line of defense. In the early game, this is our best chance, you must Take hold!"

In the locker room, the players nodded.

Especially Lu Yang.

All along, Lu Yang has never been a core player, even if his stats are far better than the core players.

But there is a world of difference between core players and role players.

This is the theoretical basis for most of the market to underestimate him.

And now, it's time to prove that he lives up to the name of Italy's future midfielder duo.

He, Lu Yang, is also a ruthless character who can play the core!
