Lord of Greenery

Chapter 467 Maverick Mourinho

During this period, because of the tactical trend led by Barcelona, ​​everyone was studying them and even learning them before no one could beat their tactics.

There are many changes brought about by this general environment, one of which is closely related to the current Real Madrid.

In Barcelona's starting lineup, Harvey is a very important player.

He has an excellent ability to get rid of and is a historical midfielder in Spain.

And his most outstanding ability is undoubtedly short pass penetration.

In the historical track, in the year Spain won the championship in 2010, Banya's midfield configuration was luxurious.

In addition to Barcelona's unshakable Habubai, there are Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Senna and David Silva.

Some people commented that Spain's midfield configuration is enough to form two world championship lineups.

But in the real game, the starting position is limited, and it is impossible for Spain to send 6 midfielders.

Therefore, among these extremely outstanding players, some players are destined to be substitutes.

Real Madrid's current core Harvey Alonso is obviously one of them.

The reason why he was shelved is also very simple, he has the same problem as Mascherano -

His ability characteristics are incompatible with Barcelona's tactics.

The simplest difference is that Alonso is best at long passes, while Barcelona's tactics require short pass penetration.

At this stage, the Spanish national team is almost following Barcelona's tactics.

Alonso, who has a high level of long pass and likes to use long pass, can only become a substitute, and it cannot be said that it is all about his ability.

However, although all teams in this world are learning from Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid will not copy them all, they can't afford to lose that person.

Therefore, the team introduced and reused Harvey Alonso, a top organizational midfielder who was incompatible with Barcelona's tactics.

In the case that Real Madrid is almost out of touch, it hardly affects Alonso's long pass.

With Alonso's long pass and Ronaldo's header, it is guaranteed that Real Madrid still has the most basic offensive method, which is a very English-style long pass.

Mourinho likes this tactic very much, a tactic that is so rough that it is almost not a tactic.

In a sense, although Mourinho is out of tune with the atmosphere of Italian football, his ideas are very Italian.

Not only do they all focus on defense, but also have a deeper similarity——

That is to say, defense depends on the system, and offense depends on talent.

Some professionals believe that the personal ability of Italian defenders is not strong, and their defense is strong because they have a complete system.

An overly perfect system restricts the growth of personal abilities.

Therefore, some top Italian defenders went to other leagues and did not perform very well.

In the same way, some defenders who are not good at complex tactics come to Serie A from other leagues, and their performance will also have problems.

Mourinho's so-called "defense depends on the system" is to place a bus in his own half.

This is even more outrageous than the top Italian coaches who are obsessed with defense!

In the aspect of "attack depends on player talent", Mourinho is also outrageous.

The most typical Italian offensive player is Inzaghi, his style is to run and score.

The former symbolizes his talent, while the latter can only say that he has a good mentality while maintaining training.

The style of football in Italy calls for sudden shifts in transition between offense and defense.

The defense is very stable, but the counterattack must be fast and steady.

In the shortest period of time, the fastest to realize the opportunity is coming, and the fastest to run to the running position. This is the requirement of Italian tactics for forwards.

Therefore, the opportunistic striker with sufficient awareness, and the nine and a half players with forward and even direct goals, were all the rage in Italy.

The tactics used by Mourinho can also be found in the traditional tactics of Italy, that is, the preference for the center.

In order to ensure that the transition between offense and defense can put pressure on the opponent, it is the simplest and most brutal method to place a center forward with sufficient confrontation and goal-breaking ability in the opponent's penalty area, which is no different from a long pass.

In Italy, top centers used to be very prosperous, typical representatives were Vieri and Toni.

As for Ronaldo, he is already another realm.

Mourinho chose this tactic, a tactic that was almost abandoned by the Italians themselves.

With all the top giants gearing up for attacking football, Mourinho is dove headlong into his defence.

More solid defense, simpler offense, this is what Mourinho is after.

And the existence of Alonso and the strength of Ronaldo also allow him to implement this ridiculously simple tactic, and even really threaten the gate of Inter Milan.

"Keep an eye on him, don't give him a chance!" Benitez quickly saw the importance of Alonso.

Rather, Alonso used to be his favorite player, and he knew him very well.

But Alonso is not an easy guy. To be able to become the core of Real Madrid's organization, his hard power is beyond doubt.

Facing the siege of Inter players, Alonso was still able to calmly distribute the ball.

He is not good at short passing, but it is not impossible. He is no worse than Harvey in his observation and awareness of the overall situation.

At the same time, his speed is not too slow, this is a playmaker with no real weakness.

In other words, he has many weaknesses, but none of them are fatal.

Even if his own style is out of tune with the times, he can show his own value.

After several long passes that threatened Inter Milan's gate, all fans could see that Inter Milan invested more power in defense.

Turning his head to see Benitez stop to take notes, Mourinho was secretly proud of himself, even ignoring the boos of the Real Madrid fans in the stands.

Real Madrid fans have reason to be angry, they don't want to see their team playing so cheap.

Because they are superstitious about low-level tactics such as long passes, La Liga fans look down on the Premier League.

It is well known that the Premier League's tactical level lags behind. Because of the European ban, they fell behind in tactical progress for nearly ten years.

In a sense, they closed the country for ten years.

Why does Ferguson have a high status in England?
Not only because he led the team to win the Triple Crown in 99, although this is the main reason.

It is also because he actively promotes the update and improvement of England's tactics, making England's tactics "continentalized".

In other words, make England's team tactics more technical.

Top coaches know that tactics that are monotonous to the point of no change are often at a disadvantage in strong duels.

You can't rely on spiritual attributes to win every time, can you?

As representatives of promoting the continentalization of English football tactics, both Ferguson and Wenger have become representatives of their own teams.

Because Ferguson is a better person and has better grades, his status is higher.

Everyone recognized their contribution and their approach, with the exception of Mourinho.

Mourinho, who tried hard to ignore the boos of the fans, crossed his hands on his chest——

I just want to use the long pass!
I just want to compete with you for spiritual attributes!
