Green Life

"Five defenders?" Hugh McAore felt that Mark Qin was going crazy, not to mention that he was dictating the tactics of the first team here, but how could this formation be changed at will?

Last year he suggested playing three backs, how long did it take for the team to adapt? , This is still because they are playing a false three backs. Everyone's position has not changed fundamentally, but the timing of attacking and defending has changed.

This is also Hugh McAore and Sammy Lee after careful discussions, and because the team's right back is indeed facing problems, they adopted his suggestion.

There are two people who have changed the most in the three-back formation. One is Enrique and the other is Mascherano. Enrique actually became a wingback, and Mascherano became a free man in the backcourt. , After more than half a year of adaptation, the defensive system in the backcourt was officially established.

Now Mark Qin took advantage of the team's holiday and ran to his home, and told himself that he wanted to play five defenders with Barcelona. If it wasn't because he was his favorite student, Hugh McAore would definitely kick him out. .

Mark Qin shrugged, sat down and bought himself a cup of coffee, and sat down on the sofa, "Old man, I'm not joking with you, by the way, you should let Olia come over, look at you messy"

The old man stared and turned around looking for something, hey, I remember the baseball bat I used when I was young was hanging behind the door all the time, where did it go?

"Old man, don't look for it, I'll give it to Shanni and the others to play with," Mark Qin said with a smile.

Hugh McAuley stared at Mark Qin with a smile on his face. After a while, he was defeated, "You brat", he shook his head, sat on the opposite sofa, and said helplessly, "Say it."

"If we don't change the lineup, there is no hope against Barcelona." As soon as he came up, Ma Keqin made a ruthless shot first.

"Well", the old man poured himself a cup of coffee, "and then"

"Then we say goodbye to the Champions League"

"Well, I see, you can go," Hugh McAore pointed to the door while holding his coffee.

Mark Qin rolled his eyes, the stubborn old man said, "Hugh, I'm really not joking, and I'm not playing a prank. This is the semi-final of the Champions League. Could I be joking?"

"It's not like the Mark I know." The old man raised his legs, "He gave up before the game. How did you know we would lose before the competition?"

Yes, how do I know? I pondered all night,

Then he ran over early in the morning and told Hugh McAore in a hurry, we will lose if we don't change the lineup?

How can this be explained? Said that you have never seen how terrifying Barcelona's dominance is this time? It is too short-sighted to say that you simply think of him as a rich and powerful team now?

Is it because I have been affected by the past history, and I didn't realize that since I have come, I am creating a new history, or they have not yet developed a sense of fear of Barcelona's tactics?

"Hugh", Mark Qin threw out the cranky thoughts in his mind, "I am very familiar with Guardiola, you know this well, after this season, I believe you also understand the strength of Barcelona"

"Mark, Barcelona is indeed very strong this season. Sami Lee and I will definitely formulate targeted tactics, but this is not the reason for us to temporarily change to five defenders. This is not a joke, you know?" The old man patiently explained to him Dao, only when he is whimsical.

"Hugh, listen to me." He picked up the pen and paper and said while drawing, "The strength of Barcelona lies in three points, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, I didn't say that Wrong"

At the same time, he drew the green field with a pen on the paper, then clicked on three points, and connected them to form an irregular triangle.

Hugh McAore nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"They have Henry and Eto'o in front, and Yaya Toure in the back. It can be said that most of their possession and threatening passes in the frontcourt come from these three people"

"Guardiola's tactics, Alves on the right is very high, very similar to the way our team's Enrique is playing now, their left back faces the same problems as our right back, old, The pressing ability has weakened, and more energy has been put on supporting and defending.”

"I think your thinking is to shrink the backcourt, compress the space in the penalty area, and then rely on the speed of Torres and the captain to counterattack?"

Hugh McAore nodded again, waiting for him to continue, wanting to hear his general train of thought.

"If there is no Messi, this general defensive and counterattack style does not matter, but you have also seen Messi's performance this season. He is good at creating opportunities in small spaces. With all due respect, Enrique can't defend against him. , when the time comes, his breakthrough will confuse our defense line, and we will lose sight of the other.”

"So you want to add a guard?" The old man shook his head, "This is not a solution either."

"Listen to me, old man," Ma Keqin replied with a smile, "The five guards I'm talking about are not adding a guard, but changing the position of our current main lineup."

As he spoke, he took another piece of paper, drew a green field again, and then began to write the names of the first-line players one by one. When he finished writing, the old man frowned and picked it up, and studied it carefully for a long time.

"You switched sides between Gerrard and Dirk Dirk, put Dirk to the wing-back position, and then let Mascherano go up the front? Specifically," he said, looking at Maxkin. .

"Let me first talk about the captain and Dirk. In fact, in terms of defense, they are almost the same, but Dirk's offense is much worse than the captain's. We must sacrifice offense when we play against Barcelona, ​​because their ball control system is much stronger than ours. "

"Barcelona relies on Messi and Alves to attack on the right. Now Henry is old on the left. In fact, the real organizer on the left is Iniesta. If you don't change positions, you have to rely on the captain to return to defense. This is for us. It's too much sacrifice"

"After he moves to the right, he can focus on marking Iniesta. When attacking, he only needs to plug in to grab points. Now his main role on the left is also to grab points."

Hugh McAore nodded, approved his statement, and motioned him to continue.

"After the captain switched to the left, he and Enrique can face Messi and Alves head-on. Both sides need to attack and return to defense, which is equivalent to the strongest frontal confrontation, but this is for us. It is the most economical and reasonable way, because the captain and Enrique have better physical strength than Messi and Alves, and their running ability is stronger.”

Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, a little bit interesting.

"As for letting Mascherano come forward", Mark Qin continued, "It is to mark Harvey. Although Harvey's ability to advance is not strong, he is the hub of Barcelona's possession of the ball. Barcelona's scheduling is almost the same. It all depends on it, we can sacrifice Mascherano's backcourt defense, as long as Harvey is restricted, it is a profit"

"What about the lower back area?" The old man finally fell into Ma Keqin's thoughts.

"Alonso doesn't need any forward penetration in this game," Mark Qin drew a circle heavily in the midfielder area, "He forms a stable triangle with two central defenders in the midfielder area, mainly defending against Yaya Toure's We have three central defenders in the penalty area, and Cahill doesn’t have to go out on the top defense after Dirk Drivet comes back, so that our three central defenders can move left and right according to the situation and guard the space in the ribs.”

"After talking for a long time, Mascherano went up, how about you?" the old man asked.

"I am a free defender, cut the passing lanes, fill in at any time, and then the main job is to defend Messi from cutting inside"

The old man nodded, which is considered to be his approval. After all, he played this role in U18, "The defense is so motivating, you don't plan to attack?"

"In these two games, we don't want to control the ball, we don't want the ball, and we quickly counterattack and shoot when we get the ball. There is no chance to return to the defense immediately according to the arrangement just now."

"When Barcelona is attacking, there will only be one Puyol or Marquez left in the backcourt, and Pique will be pressed frequently. Torres is enough alone. He shoots when he has a chance, and he has no chance to hold the ball. , the captains and Dirk Dirk on both sides plug in, and I also plug in, forming a shot in the simplest way, without fighting positional warfare."

Hugh McAuley picked up the messy tactical blueprints, frowned and fell into thinking. Mark Qin’s words were well-founded, so he couldn’t help but not take them seriously. It seems that this kid really watched Barcelona’s videos, at least he downloaded them. Really kung fu.

After a while, the old man put down the drawing and asked: "I only have one question, what if Barcelona arranges personnel to change positions, especially Mascherano and Dirk, will they follow the whole field, that will mess up the defense chaos"

"No", Ma Keqin immediately replied, he also thought about this issue, but he came to the conclusion that it was impossible, "These people in Barcelona's frontcourt, in fact, only Messi and Iniesta are relatively free. After changing positions, the threat will be greatly reduced.”

"And Barcelona's strength lies in the system. They will never change positions casually to disrupt their rhythm. The only ones who may change positions are Xavi and Iniesta, but it is also for temporary possession of the ball. If they really change positions, Ma Scherano and Kevin Dirk don't need to move, they just need to change their man-markers, and they will be wasting Iniesta's breakthrough instead."

The old man raised his head and thought for a while, but he was convinced again. He flicked the tactical blueprint in his hand, "This is what you came up with all night? Why do you value Barcelona so much?"

After talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, he took a sip of coffee, leaned back on the sofa and said: "Because I want to win, I know they are very strong, very strong, to be honest, if we play according to our usual tactics, we Definitely score, but certainly not as much as Barcelona."

"why?"

"Because of Messi, because of the Nou Camp, I don't think I can't compare with Messi, but our two characteristics are different. He is like a fish in water in the current Barcelona system, and we are going away to the Nou Camp. Wider than our home courts and exposes more of the rib space"

"so?"

"So we must not lose at home, and it is best not to concede the ball, so that we can have the capital to play against Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Barcelona is a team that does not know the feeling until it actually plays. That's why I came to you early in the morning, and we only have two weeks to practice this targeted tactic."

"Okay, you convinced me, I will discuss it with Sami Lee, but I'm still very surprised, why do you care so much about playing Barcelona? Is it because we are the top four opponents?" the old man asked.

Mark breathed a sigh of relief, "Perhaps you don't believe me, this year or the next few years, Barcelona may be the strongest team. This season Guardiola has begun to experiment with his football philosophy. We have had many exchanges. , I know his football"

"But now I belong to Liverpool", he added, standing up, "so I'm going to do my best to beat him"

Ma Keqin's state of mind may not be fully understood by others. It is the strongest challenge in memory, a cry, fight, and fight vigorously without regret!

He has to use all his efforts to increase Liverpool's hope of winning, knowing that there may be some possible problems in the team, and he has to make up for them in advance.

When it's time for utilitarianism, he won't hesitate, he doesn't want to make that kind of sparkling fireworks.

In the afternoon, a loud question came from Melwood's head coach's office, "Five defenders?"
