Chapter 193 Is 3-5-2 really bad?

"I'm not saying this formation is bad, I just think it's not suitable for Marseille tonight." Yoan Lu didn't want to be misunderstood by the Marseille fans in front of the TV because of his words, and then be attacked by the crowd.

So he went on to explain his reasons: "The 3-5-2 formation has its advantages. Because of the compact center, it is very strong defensively. The five midfielders can form an absolute numerical advantage on the field. However, the five midfielders in Marseille did not give full play to their defensive advantages. The team's defense is basically supported by Mbia in the midfielder position."

"In this case, as long as Paris Saint-Germain, who is good at counterattacking quickly, passes through the midfield, only the three central defenders of Marseille are left in front of them. Although the three central defenders can effectively deal with the opponent's double forwards, unfortunately, Paris Saint-Germain starts with three forwards."

"I understand what you mean." Patrick Gillo, who was next to Yoan Lu, took over the words of his partner and expressed his own opinion: "The reason is that Marseille seemed too anxious after conceding the ball, so they failed to take advantage of the 3-5-2 formation. Not only that, but Marseille, which was eager to equalize the score, allowed the opponent to take advantage of the loopholes in the formation."

"Yes." Yoan Lu agreed deeply.

Knowing that there is no problem with his analysis, the proud Patrick Guillo continued: "In offense, the advantage of 3-5-2 is that as long as the team can control the ball, the wide midfielders on both sides can provide fire support for the center forward on the wide wing, and the three midfielders can also provide multiple options in the middle. When the offense and defense switch, Marseille's offensive routes and methods can be more diverse."

"Actually, Marseille did the same thing, catching Paris Saint-Germain's weak-side offense, but for that reason, they were too anxious, so that the formation was a bit deformed, and the midfield looked like it was out of touch, and Paris Saint-Germain's defense on both sides was not as bad as Didier Deschamps imagined, which made Marseille even more impatient. The yellow cards of Valbuena and Remy are the best proof."

In Patrick Gillo's analysis, many fans in front of the screen also understood the reason.

Valbuena's yellow card made the "Bigfoot Tiger" feel powerless on his side. Benoit Cherrou on the other side wanted to open up the situation, but he was under a lot of defensive pressure in the offense on his side. Lie Ayou had to retreat to respond, if he failed, it would undoubtedly be a waste of effort.

Don't Marseille's three midfielders support?

It's not that there is no support, Mbia's task is more defensive, and Alu Diarra is too busy to take care of himself, so only Amalfitano is left, but his role alone is very limited.

Maybe Marseille fans have a very good candidate in their hearts at this time, but they can only think about it, because Luis Gonzalez, who is capable and stable, has already transferred back to his former club in the winter transfer window.

People in front of the stage do not perform well, and public opinion misses those who are not on stage.

It's just human nature.

The most important thing is that all of the above are talking about Marseille's possession of the ball and attacking, but it is Paris Saint-Germain who deliberately lowers the pace of the game that actually has the advantage of possession on the court.

In addition, once Paris Saint-Germain launches an offensive, it will be the real test for Valbuena and Benoit Cherrou. In the 3-5-2 formation, the reason why the two full-backs (wing-backs) have a "guard" in their names is that in addition to offense, they are also responsible for defense.

Meeting Paris Saint-Germain's two fast and skilled wingers, as full-backs, Valbuena and Benoit Cherrou's defensive pressure is not small, and the test of their physical fitness is also great. Valbuena has already received a yellow card. Paris Saint-Germain's next offensive focus will definitely be on Valbuena's side.

If Valbuena and Benoit Cherrou failed to return to the defense in time during the offense, or were broken through during the defense, then the entire side of Marseille would be flat, and Mbia could help defend, but he could only care about the head and the tail.

There are only three central defenders in front of Mandanda. Facing Paris Saint-Germain's three strikers at the same time, as long as the three central defenders, who are at a disadvantage in numbers, are a little careless, Marseille's goal will be in danger.

Fortunately, so far, Paris Saint-Germain has not had such a quick counterattack opportunity, and Marseille's defense is indeed doing well. The experienced veteran Fani is the backbone of the entire defense.

Following Fani's rhythm, Azpilicueta and Nkulu did a very good job. When defending, the three of them kept in close contact. There was no situation where one of them voluntarily left the back line and gave the remaining space to the other two teammates.

It is precisely because the three of them did a good job that the edge of the penalty area was not allowed to become their own "corridor" for Wang Zi and Mene. Otherwise, even if the other two central defenders receive the penalty area to protect the goal, they may not be able to keep the goal.

inside China.

"3-5-2 may not be suitable for the current Marseille." He Yu also made the same speculation as Yoan Lu.

"This formation was pioneered by the Argentine coach Carlos Bilardo. In order to better integrate the genius Maradona into his lineup, Bilardo creatively came up with the 3-5-2 formation. In the end, he used this formation to lead Argentina to win the 1986 World Cup, which is the World Cup in which Maradona came up with the 'Hand of God'."

"After that, Carlos Vila specifically stated his reasons for choosing the 3-5-2 formation. He once said that at that time, because wingers were not common in the system, the wings on the field were only wing midfielders and not attackers."

"So he played with a back three, moving his full-backs forward into midfield to provide attacking security for his captain and playmaker Maradona."

(PS: At that time, the full-backs moved forward, basically there was no situation where the full-backs or wingers retreated to the midfield)
Before explaining his reasons, He Yu, as always, showed that his title of encyclopedia was not in vain.

Then, He Yu explained his reasons: "All this is based on the fact that the team has an advantage in possession of the ball, which is not the case in Marseille. They are far behind Paris Saint-Germain in terms of possession rate."

The game time came to No.40 two minutes, not far from the end of the first half.

After Wang Zi's low pass to Gameiro was intercepted by Nkulu, Marseille launched a counterattack.

Nkulu passed the ball to Mbia, and Marseille's midfielder then gave the ball to Valbuena on the wing without stopping the ball.

Valbuena held the ball and lowered his head to advance at high speed, but rushed forward along the wing and rushed into a dead end.

Blocking him in front of Valbuena was Maxwell, and Matuidi was staring at him not far from the side. Valbuena was not tall, but his body was flexible. He tried to sway Maxwell, but Maxwell stuck in front of Valbuena like a candy, and did not move to grab the ball.

Matuidi, who rushed towards Valbuena obliquely, was not Maxwell. His purpose was to break the ball at the foot of the Marseille winger.

In this case, Alou Diarra is asking for the ball behind Valbuena, and Remy is also approaching Valbuena.

Therefore, the depressing Valbuena could only turn around and knock the ball back to Alou Diarra before Matuidi grabbed the ball. As for Remy, he was always followed by Alex, so it was not safe.

When Alou Diarra received the ball, Marseille's offense had to stabilize first, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Paris Saint-Germain's defense became intensive again.

The result can be imagined, Marseille's subsequent attack can only be declared fruitless.

"Is 3-5-2 really not working?"

Deschamps began to think about this problem.

　Thank you [Yaoyao Yaoyao] for the monthly pass, thank you!
