Football should be played like me

Chapter 70 The Return of the True God
It is said that fashion is a cycle, and so is football.

Since the first tactical system of football was created, 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 Hungarian center forward retracement and the birth of the false nine position, to the 60s defensive football, chain defense, the emergence of zone defense and Dacheng , By the 70s, the Dutch total attack and total defense tactics and the birth of 433, man-marking tactics, free man tactics, the birth of 442, tiki-taka ultimate pass control, melon-style Manchester City and so on.

Until a long period of time, there was no fundamental new thing in football theory, but the various head coaches were putting together and combining the past things at a higher level.

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

Where will football tactics go at that time?
In fact, Lu Yang's era has already touched part of it.

That is dynamic tactics.

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

Back to San Remo.

Sanremo's current problem is that they don't have a midfield playmaker, which makes it almost impossible for them to launch any organization and non-counterattack offensives.

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

But the problem is that their goal this season is to upgrade, they must play more proactively, and defensive counterattack cannot become their main tactic.

So they must have an offensive core to tear apart the opponent's defense.

If the court is regarded as a vertical rectangular nine-square grid, then the second grid and the eighth grid are the goals 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 throughout the year, 90.00% of the second shots were concentrated in this area, which is the position near the penalty area in the middle.

So the early football was very simple, just focus on these two positions, and the person who wins this position wins the world.

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

But the center is deeply encircled by the opponent's defender, but the midfielder between the opponent's back line and the midfield line has become the most threatening person.

In fact, the rise of the classical midfielder is indeed the case.

But because of the emphasis on this area, the later teams protected this position very well. The front midfielder in this position often has to face the flanking attack of multiple defensive players of the opponent, as well as fierce physical confrontation.

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

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

When Manero made his debut, he played as a front midfielder, and then he turned into a midfielder and even a midfielder.

But with the development of the times, after more than ten years, the rear organization core is gradually not suitable.

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

At the same time, although Total Defense did not dominate football, the frontcourt oppression 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 defenders and engineer midfielders to play the ball also make the rear core relatively tasteless.

In the end, the long-term adaptation to the post-core play made most teams lose their fear and targeting of the front midfielder position as they did many years ago.

Therefore, the front-core play also has new possibilities.

Iselet is a conformer of the times, came into being as the times require, and is destined to promote the update of Serie A tactics.

And Lu Yang is just a wave in the wave caused by Izelette.

Of course, this wave may also become a back wave that is stronger than the front wave.

……

On the San Remo training ground, a training match is going on.

This is closed training in Sanremo 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 always suffers from this problem.

Fortunately, San Remo's new style of play is not too different from their original style of play.

The one who really has to adapt to this change is mainly their core, Lu Yang himself.

The 4213 of Sanremo focuses on the two wings.

But unlike those devil wings of the future, San Remo's wings are typical broken wings.

On the left side, Baizami will not talk about it, and cooperate with the black hole.

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

The right wing 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 pair of wings can fly or not, because the team's midfielder position really determines the outcome.

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

Without Moric's Sanremo midfielder, it's not that they lack creativity, they don't even have the ability to sort out.

If you have to leave football to the midfielder, it will cause various problems.

Simply, when attacking, don't use the midfielder, and directly send the ball from the side to the front.

The defensive pressure on the wing is relatively small, and the football will be delivered more smoothly.

At this time, Lu Yang, as the front midfielder, approached the side with the ball, received the ball, and cooperated with the side to look for opportunities.

When Lu Yang played left back, his favorite area to appear was the left rib.

The front midfielder position can completely liberate Lu Yang, allowing him to have the power to attack on the left rib and right rib at the same time.

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

Similarly, even set kicks in the rib area are very threatening.Therefore, the number of violations encountered by Lu Yang will be much less than when he was in the midfield and backcourt, which also makes up for his shortcoming of poor ball control ability to a certain extent.

boom!
In the training match, Lu Yang kicked in the ribs and scored directly.

The players were very excited, because Lu Yang obviously adapted to the new tactical system.

This is much better than the feeling of not being able to use force in the previous few games.

Manello is on the sidelines and has also been at San Remo in recent days.

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

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

On the pitch, when Lu Yang holds the ball, the two full-backs will also press forward appropriately, becoming the presence of full-backs.

In order to make up for the defensive loopholes caused by the forward pressure of the full-backs, the two defensive midfielders, Latuidi and Versach, will stay behind to make up for them.

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?" Manello laughed. "The way we pass the ball forward, we ignore our midfield and center. We are giving up the midfield to attack. , this is the price we have to bear for the time without Moric."

Tom said: "Well, there is no midfielder involved in the offense. Relying solely 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 moment, Suo Tu stood up and pointed to Lu Yang in the field: "This is the difference between Lu Yang and Izelette. In terms of defense, he can return to our penalty area from the opponent's penalty area."

"Can defend from left to right, he covers the whole pitch, the whole block!"

"Although I don't know why he has such terrifying running ability at the age of 17, there is a saying in the East that hard work can make up for weakness. Attack depends on talent, defense depends on attitude. He is the link between San Remo's frontcourt and backcourt in defense. bridge."

"If it is said that Lu Yang was the core of the midfielder before, he had to adapt to the tactical system specially created by the team for Moric. Then from this moment on, what he has to adapt to is the tactical system specially created by the team for himself. system."

"Everything in this set of tactics is for Lu Yang to make better use of his strengths!"

boom!
On the training ground, another goal was born.

This time it was Lu Yang who sent Sogel an over-the-top through ball after attracting the defender.

He enjoys this tactical system very much.

It's like a wild horse running free, free and easy.

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 deserves a special mention from these media.

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

And the purpose is not to let Lu Yang and San Remo go, the purpose is to wait for Brescia to defeat San Remo before whipping the corpses!

……

At the pre-match press conference.

The head coach of Brescia is very stable. He said that the team does not pay much attention to 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 played more off the bench to find their status.

This is not meant to look down on Sanremo in any way, as many teams feel about the cup.

If it is less than the top [-], the top eight or even the top four, some teams don't pay attention to it.

Even, because of the pressure of the league championship or the Champions League and Europa League in the later stage, even if it enters the semi-finals, the Coppa Italia can be given up.

But that's for the Serie A giants.

The Coppa Italia is a great honor for most of the non-powerful teams in Serie A, let alone the second-tier teams.

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

The reason why they let the bench play is because they think that the bench lineup is enough to beat Sanremo.

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

Core injury back.

Not to mention that the new core is extremely uncomfortable, and even lost its dominance in previous games.

The entire team is extremely lacking in offense.

For such a team, it would be great to train the substitutes and young players and let them find confidence.

As for San Remo, it was Suo Tu who brought Lu Yang to the pre-match press conference.

After Suotu announced the lineup of San Remo, the reporters on the scene suddenly had the urge to ask questions.

Reporter: "Suotu, is this true? San Remo has never played in a 4213 formation before. Facing a strong opponent, you have arranged it like this. You have such high demands on your own players, do they know?"

Suotu said with a dark 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 playing around different cores. Your previous 433 core was Moric in the middle and rear, but now? We can see in the first few games that Lu Yang is not competent. Playing with a rear core."

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

Reporter: "You must be crazy! He doesn't feel comfortable kicking from behind, yet you let him go to the front? I can even imagine what catastrophic performance he will have next."

Suotu: "Wait and see. By the way, you are a reporter from the Republic newspaper, right?"

Reporter: "Yes."

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

The reporter of the Republic newspaper left the scene depressed.

Don't talk about martial arts!
At this time, other reporters asked: "Lu Yang, can you tell us about your performance in the last few games? We can see that you were very tenacious and you scored two goals for the team in a very unfavorable situation. Victory Yiping."

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

This is a neutral reporter, the question is very sincere, to the point.

Lu Yang said: "San Remo doesn't need a second Moric. In this game, I will use my own method to bring the team a victory."

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

Lu Yang: "I'm absolutely sure!"

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

……

In the team locker room, Suotu was explaining to the players how to play against the opponent.

Sanremo wants to make something happen in the Coppa Italia, so they have a special study of each opponent in the cup.

It is not difficult for Suotu to obtain the information of Serie B.

After all, he still has a good friend, Manello, who is currently idle and has nothing to do.

There are rumors that next summer Manello is likely to accept the position of head coach of the Italian youth team and lead the Italian teenagers to the European Youth Championship.

And if he completes 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 European Cup!

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

As one of the candidates for the future national youth team and national team coach, Manello should have an in-depth understanding of Italian football, so he has information on almost all Serie A and Serie B teams.

"Brescia's lineup is a traditional 442 formation, the midfielders are positioned in parallel, and the forward players include Arnold, a speed player that everyone is familiar with." Suotu said, "Because most of them are substitute players, they are actually not strong, even in tacit understanding. Not as good as us.”

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

"Lu Yang, their parallel midfielders can't prevent advances. As long as you can pass one person, you have passed the entire defense line. In the early stage of the game, this is our best opportunity. You must Grab it!"

In the locker room, the players nodded one after another.

Especially Lu Yang.

For a long time, Lu Yang has not been a core player, even though his statistics 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 dual-core midfielder.

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