i don't want to be king

Chapter 413 Is it too hasty?
With the continuous development of football, the living space of traditional midfielders in modern football is completely different from that of 20 or even 10 years ago.

In the European arena, stricter tactical discipline, stricter defense, and faster offensive and defensive conversion speeds have constantly subverted the division of labor and tactical responsibilities of various traditional positions on the arena.

Organizing an attack at the front of the opponent's penalty area has long been not the mainstream of offensive tactics.

On the contrary, it has become the basic tactic of all teams to contain the opponent's positional offense by strengthening the midfield defensive function of the midfielder position.

Pochettino did a lot of homework, and he found that Jardim was the firm leader of the wing attack.

Jardim used the 442-8-[-] tactic when he first moved to Monaco. In the first season, he eliminated Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the two rounds. His Belgian winger Carrasco left a deep impression on people.

After Carrasco moved to Atletico Madrid, he continued to play well, and even successfully broke the gate of Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season.

Carrasco's liquidated damages have been bid by Atletico Madrid for 1 million euros, which is tied with the club's top star Frenchman Griezmann and goalkeeper Slovenian Oblak, which is enough to show his status in the team.

It was during his time in Monaco that Carrasco began to emerge under Jardim, and his strength was greatly improved.

After he left, Jardim continued to single-handedly discover new wing stars such as Lemar and Silva.

Pochettino also found that since last season, Monaco, together with Falcao and Ronaldo (James Rodriguez), introduced heavily, and the midfielder Moutinho, who played the central position, was gradually excluded. The main lineup.

When some of Monaco's main players encountered injuries in the new season, Moutinho, who started, appeared more in the positions of central midfielder and left midfielder.

So the Argentines are a little confused, why did Jardim reuse this little-known No. 17 at the beginning of the season?
No matter which aspect you look at, No. 17 is more like a traditional attacking midfielder.

Such an arrangement does not look like Jardim's tactical style, and if you want to set up a forward midfielder, Moutinho or Silva should be the first choice.

The No. 17 has actually become Monaco's first-choice substitute on the offensive line since the beginning of the season, and has recently started consecutively in the Champions League.

It is undeniable that No. 17 was a blockbuster and has scored good statistics in a row, but in the eyes of professionals like Pochettino, Li Liang has not yet encountered a real test.

Li Liang has retreated to the left side of the backcourt to get the ball, Wiggins is still pressing hard, and Ali, who is playing in the middle, also presses over.

Li Liang's physical confrontation is not inferior to Wiggins, but when the tall Ali joined the battle, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The reaction speed, agility and movement speed of Ali, who is 1 meters tall, had already shocked Li Liang in the last game.

Now he realizes that Ali's strength has improved by leaps and bounds compared to two months ago!

Under the attack of these two men, it was difficult for Li Liang to raise his head, let alone hold the ball.

With great reluctance, he passed the ball directly back to Subasic from a long distance, looking extremely embarrassed.

The home audience finally booed, the attacking midfielder was pressed all the way to the backcourt, and the offense could only rely on the individual breakthroughs and forced crosses of the two full-backs. This embarrassing scene made it hard to believe that this was Group E. Home of Monaco.

Jardim also frowned, and Caldeira couldn't help but said beside him: "Leonardo, Li can't cope with this level of competition, right?

So far, the strongest opponents he has encountered are Paris and Tottenham. At that time, Paris was in chaos, and Tottenham's lineup was not completed.

He hasn't even participated in such tough battles against Nice, Toulouse and Leverkusen. Now that he is facing Tottenham who is going all out, is it really good for him to stay on the court? "

Burrows also had the same opinion: "Are we too anxious? We really can't afford to pay tuition for such a game!

If you don't get 3 points, in the next game, Leverkusen will be even more difficult to deal with when they return to the home court than the current Tottenham!
Adjust, Leonardo, there is still time! "

Jardim was noncommittal, and continued to stare at the field with a stern expression.

Grimandi kept recording in the notepad in the stands.His opinion was the same as that of Jardim's assistants, Li Liang finally encountered a match with real "golden content".

As a scout, it is more important to pay attention to the shortcomings of the players.

He believes that professional football's requirements for the lower limit of players' abilities are decisive-10 advantages cannot cover up 1 fatal shortcoming.

Mou Zhaoge looked a little frustrated, Ghazi came over and said, "Don't worry, it's normal.

After all, this is his first season. It would be unbelievable if such Tottenham could not limit Li's performance. "

He Wei was also a little disappointed, but he still commented professionally to the live broadcast screen: "Li Liang has been taken care of by the opponent in this game, so far he has not had an eye-catching performance.

We have seen that in this game Monaco discharged Falcao as the single arrow.But now Tottenham's defensive tactics are very targeted, using high-intensity oppression to directly cut off the connection between other players and the striker, and now Falcao is completely isolated.

Can't play offensively, it's hard to say whether Monaco's defense line can block the impact of Kane, Ali and Sun Xingmin! "

Xue Yang agreed: "Professional football is like this. It is very difficult for you to use the same tactics to continuously defeat opponents of comparable strength, not to mention that Tottenham's strength is higher than that of Monaco.

Being able to secure the position of head coach in a strong Premier League team like Tottenham, with an annual salary of 550 million pounds, to find out and amplify Monaco's tactical weaknesses is actually just one of the most basic requirements of Pochettino's work.

It seems that coach Jardim is still responding to changes without change, but the current situation is obviously becoming more and more unfavorable to Monaco.

Li Liang's long-distance return pass just now is a very dangerous sign-this is very taboo when we play football. When the opponent is pressing hard, it is a safer choice to drive the ball out of bounds. "

Netizens are also anxious:

"What's wrong with Li 17? His legs look like they've been filled with lead. How can he not be human!?"

"It's too depressing. Monaco's collective performance is abnormal today!"

"Tottenham is still stronger. If we can get 1 point today, everything will be fine!"

……

Fabinho is very helpless. He knows very well that if no one can hold the ball in the middle, the situation in front of him will only become more and more passive.

He gestured to Li Liang with his eyes, and Li Liang immediately understood the Brazilian's intention.

Li Liang stayed in the backcourt temporarily, and Fabinho began to switch positions with him.The Brazilian has good footwork and vision. In the double midfielder partnered with Bakayoko, the Brazilian takes on more offensive responsibilities.

This is also an important reason for the decline of the traditional midfielder.A modern midfielder like Fabinho, who is 1 meters tall and has both offensive and defensive capabilities, is fully capable of taking on a considerable part of the work of the midfielder.

Just like what he's trying to do now.

　Thanks to c0 Monica for the reward!
