Chapter 471 Passing the ball is for scoring goals (Part [-])
Chapter 473 Passing the Ball for the Goal
After the players assembled, the team's pre-season training side was in full swing.
The first day is naturally on the body side. Those players who keep training during the vacation are the most relaxed at this time, while those players who eat and drink during the vacation will be miserable. The intensity of their physical training will make them complain endlessly.
Physical fitness coach Salvo has reached the busiest period of the year. More than two months before the start of each season, this is the time to reserve physical fitness for the players as much as possible.

Therefore, after the results of the players' body sides came out, Salvo had to work out a detailed physical training plan within two days, and it was a plan specific to each player.

The team will also start a two-week physical strengthening training.

Physical fitness is the basis of any tactics. If the team's physical fitness is not enough, no matter what tactics are played on the court, it will be futile.

The new players can be considered to have seen the rigor of Gao Bo's training.

Lucio wanted to be lazy at the beginning. For the Brazilians, this level of training is really worth being lazy...
Unexpectedly, Gao Bo didn't give him a chance to be lazy at all. As soon as he slack off, the whistle blew immediately, and then the assistant coach Moya immediately came to reprimand him.

Gao Bo was watching from the sidelines.

Lucio had just arrived, and he didn't dare to make a big deal at this time, so he had to grit his teeth and continue training.

As for the other members of Atlético de Madrid, they came through such rigorous training last season, and it has also been proved that such training intensity has also brought them obvious benefits-two championship trophies are proof.

.......
After physical training comes tactical training.

In order for the team to adapt their tactics as soon as possible, Gao Bo used all three orange training cards that were rewarded after the end of the mission last season.

Atletico Madrid's overall formation is still 433, but this season Gao Bo decided to add more changes to the 433 formation, including allowing players to be more flexible and not rigid in form.

Creating opportunities through passing and running positions is the basis of Atletico Madrid's overall tactical thinking.

And this foundation is the same whether it is based on 433, 4231 or 442.

Dilute the positional attributes of players, this is what Gao Bo wants to promote.

According to the location, division of labor and cooperation, each perform their own duties.This is of course beneficial. First of all, in terms of training difficulty, such a clear arrangement of tactical responsibilities can allow players to quickly enter their roles. After all, every player knows what he wants to do, where he should attack, and where he should defend.

But in this way, the opponent's defense can also be targeted.

Atletico Madrid achieved success last season, and Gao Bo knew that if they continued to play like last season without any changes, they might suffer a bit in the new season.

There are so many coaches in La Liga, they are all smart people, and everyone is not a fool!
"Pass the ball, run!!!"

In terms of tactical training, Gao Bo first explained it back and forth on the tactical board several times, and then went to the training ground to practice running positions with the defense of catching the ball.

He requires the players in the frontcourt to be flexible in their running positions-this is flexibility in an absolute sense.

The left and right sides, the striker and the midfielder, often have to cross positions, and run wherever there is a gap to catch the ball.

It's just that in this way, the players in the frontcourt can easily run together.

And for this, it can only be solved through training.

Fortunately, Gao Bo had a training card. This set of tactics that made Mo Ya and others feel headaches, actually made Gao Bo take shape in about a week.

The running positions of the frontcourt players gradually saw a little "flowing".

At first glance, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players seem to be running around in a disorderly manner, but if you look closely, when no player has the ball, the frontcourt players will run out of the support point beside him, so that the ball holder can pass the ball at any time.

Pass - run - open up space - shoot!

Atletico Madrid's offensive method is still based on last season, but it just allows the players in the frontcourt to move in a wider range.

This set of tactics that looks very simple on the court is nothing more than pass-run-pass.

What each player has to do is also very simple, they just run to the position, and then pass the ball to the next player.

Johan Cruyff said: "Playing football is easy, but playing simple football is difficult."

This sentence is very suitable for the current Atletico Madrid. Gao Bo tried his best to make the tasks that every player needs to undertake as simple as possible: passing the ball and running!
But getting [-] players on the field doing the same thing and being able to pass the ball up like they're going through water is hard.

For this, assistant coach Moya feels very deeply.

In fact, when he saw Gao Bo's training plan for the new season, he was shocked.

If Gao Bo's training can really be completed and Atletico Madrid can be trained to Gao Bo's ideal appearance, then the strength of this Atletico Madrid team will definitely be improved to a higher level.

Moya understands this, but he also knows that there is always some gap between ideal and reality.

He still felt that Gao Bo was a bit aggressive. His tactics could only exist on paper, and it was impossible to show them in reality!

Moya's worries are naturally justified. If Gao Bo didn't have the help of cards, he wouldn't dare to make a training plan for this kind of tactics that only existed on paper.

Because in reality, if they want to achieve it, the players may have to go through at least one or two years of running-in. In one or two years, Atletico Madrid can't wait so long.

But with the training card, Gao Bo can put this kind of thing on paper into practice.

And... it worked out pretty well.

In just one week of tactical training, Atletico Madrid's players are already looking good in terms of the rate of running positions.

On the training ground, the players in the frontcourt moved at the same time, but there was no confusion at all.

Aguero drops back and Raul Garcia goes up.

The left and right sides are crossing.

After Modric takes the ball, he can find at least five receiving points in an instant!
This makes Atletico Madrid's passes safer and harder to mark.

Moya was so fascinated, he looked at Gao Bo with admiration.

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen the results, I would really think you are a lunatic..."

But what surprised Moya was that Gao Bo didn't seem too satisfied, he frowned.

He then called a halt to training.

Then walk among the players.

"Raul! Why didn't you shoot when you had a chance just now? And Ah Kun! Have you forgotten that you are a striker? Anthony, what is the meaning of passing the ball in the small penalty area?"

The players who had played slickly in their passing game before were stunned.

Gao Bo saw the expressions of the players, and he sighed.

"That's right, we need flexible passing, we need to pass more, but passing is not our goal!! Please remember, we pass more to allow us to score goals, not to allow us to increase the success rate of passes!!"

"The purpose of our passing is not to pass the ball for the sake of passing, but to score goals!"

Gao Bo said.

"We pass the ball to make football easier, not to complicate it!! We are not playing a game of possession on the field. Every pass we make is to get closer to the goal and to score goals more efficiently!"

"Everyone must always keep this in mind!!"

The players nodded approvingly.

The possession game is fun for everyone, but they train to win everything!

Training resumes.

The specific training command is conducted by Moya, and Gao Bo will only stop the training when he finds a problem, and then explain the problem.
