coach legend

Chapter 109

Burnley's players meticulously implemented George's pre-match deployment, even if they steal the ball, they will not easily counterattack.In Burnley's counterattack, only Robbie Keane, Ljungberg, and Camoranesi were involved in the attack.Therefore, Burnley's offense was interrupted by Arsenal again without a few passes.

Arsenal's five defensemen are not vegetarians, they have been working together for many years.Although all of them are in their 30s, they are definitely a steel line of defense when they cooperate.

And as long as the ball is intercepted, Burnley players immediately put into defense.Ljungberg and Camoranesi will not stay in the frontcourt like other games, but will all return to the half-court defense.

Although George played rogue tactics in the game, what George admired and liked the most was the total attack and total defense tactic created by the legendary Dutch coach Michels.Whether George was a fan or a coach, his favorite thing was the Dutch team's total defense.

The total attack and total defense tactic was created by Michels in the 70s. From Ajax to the Dutch national team later, the great tactic of total attack and total defense has created countless brilliance.It also had a very profound impact on the subsequent development of football.

What George wants to try most as a coach is this kind of total attack and total defense tactics. Unfortunately, in the increasingly utilitarian football world, George cannot achieve these things.George is not an idealist and cannot insist on beautiful football like a coach like Wenger.George is very realistic, as long as he can win the championship, it doesn't matter whether George is beautiful or ugly.

It may be precisely because of this that George cannot become a master like Michels and can leave a deep footprint in the history of world football development.

Because George likes total attack and total defense tactics, George especially respects a word.Defense isn't just the defender's job, and offense isn't just the striker's responsibility.

What is real defense is that all players are invested in defense.

It is conceivable that there are ten people defending at the front of their own penalty area. It is definitely very difficult for Arsenal to find a gap.

In this game, George focused on explaining the Arsenal players. At present, the most threatening Arsenal players are Overmars and Bergkamp.These two are the source of Arsenal's current offense, and they are also players who have the strength to change the game on their own.So George took great pains for these two players.

Overmars, the Dutch left forward, is extremely fast. Once he is allowed to run, there are really no defenders in England who can keep up with him.Moreover, the small technology is also very good, and opportunities for breakthroughs can be found in some small spaces.

But Overmars played too awkwardly in this game. Although this is Overmars' first season in England, Overmars likes English football very much.Although the Premier League is more competitive and action-packed than the Eredivisie, most of the Premier League games are open and closed.

There are very few teams in the Premier League who hide and defend, and there will never be a rogue like George.England fans don't like George's defensiveness. Even if a team in the relegation zone meets Arsenal, they play very openly.They won't shrink just because you are strong.This style of play is very suitable for Arsenal. Arsenal's midfield is extremely strong, and once the ball is intercepted, they can play a very beautiful counterattack.This tactic is very much in line with the characteristics of Overmars.

This open style of play will have a lot of room for Overmars to take advantage of his best speed.After Overmars came to the Premier League, he was completely at home in Arsenal.

But I didn't expect that this game would be so awkward. Burnley defended entirely with numbers.A bunch of people were in the backcourt. Not only were there people closely following Overmars, but there were also people staring at him closely.Under this kind of defense, Overmars was completely unsuitable.How to kick how awkward.

Because the Arsenal midfielder was unable to pass the threatening ball, Bergkamp frequently withdrew to respond.For Bergkamp, ​​George didn't dare to relax at all. Bergkamp belongs to the kind of player who can change the game as long as he is given a second.

Therefore, Neil Lennon followed Bergkamp almost every step of the way.As long as Bergkamp gets the ball, he will push him from behind, preventing Bergkamp from getting the ball comfortably.Neil Lennon will not only use his body against Bergkamp, ​​but also use his hands and feet to harass Bergkamp with small movements behind Bergkamp.

Under Neil Lennon's rogue-like defense, Bergkamp couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and the anger in his heart was rising upwards.Not only Neil Lennon, but even Barack is always paying attention to Bergkamp's side. As long as Bergkamp has a tendency to get rid of Neil Lennon, he will help defend the past.

Under this intensive defense, Bergkamp played quite awkwardly today.Can't find a little passing route, Bergkamp's position is blocked, and Arsenal's offensive quality is reduced by half.

"Burnley's defense is impeccable. Judging from the previous 25 minutes of the game, Burnley has a deep understanding of Arsenal. It seems that George has always been concerned about Arsenal." Martin Taylor looked at the situation on the field, Can't help shaking his head.

"Yeah, Arsenal have never found a good chance to shoot. Up to now, Arsenal have only talked about three shots, and they are all long-range shots from outside the penalty area without any threat. threaten."

"Now that Ljungberg and Camoranesi are defending, does Coach Levi really plan to defend until the penalty shootout?"

From the beginning to now, George has not left his seat. Watching Burnley's defense George is very satisfied.The Burnley players have done a perfect job so far, leaving Arsenal unable to find a little way to attack.

Overmars, who Arsenal is proud of, can't find an assault route on the left.When breaking the dense defense, there are three methods that are the most effective.

The first is to use players with strong long-range shooting ability to continuously shoot long-range shots at the front of the penalty area.In this way, it is easy to move the defense forward, so when encountering dense defense, long-range shots are often strengthened.

And there's the set ball.Set kicks are a very important weapon to break the defense. When there is no way to fight positional battles, set kicks are a pretty good way.

The last solution is to need a point, a point that can break through the defense.This is the power of the so-called superstar. Later, after Barcelona became stronger, many teams faced Barcelona with intensive defense.During Rijkaard's period, Barcelona had Ronaldinho, an unpredictable genius.And when it came to Guardiola, there was Messi.

Both of them have a characteristic, that is, they can break through several defensive players in a row by themselves.It can disrupt other people's defensive system at once, not only can set the ball, but also can tear a little gap in the defense in such an instant.

The current Arsenal lacks such players. Overmars turned out to be such a point for Arsenal.But under the intensive care of Burnley, he failed to exert his due strength.

"Arsene, should some changes be made?" Pas Wright asked in a low voice next to Wenger.

Wenger frowned and looked at the situation on the field. Although Wenger thought before the game that Burnley would be a defensive counterattack.But looking at the current game, there is no counterattack from Burnley.It's completely huddled in his own half to play defense, and all the defense is aimed at the current Arsenal.

It's not that Wenger doesn't want to change, but Wenger's time in Arsenal is too short.The transformation of Arsenal is not completely over, and this Arsenal is not the best Arsenal in Wenger's mind.There is really no player on the bench who can change the result of the game by himself.

"No, let's see first. Their defense requires a lot of concentration. I don't think they can have such concentration throughout the court. There will be oversights."
