Latest website: The top three in Ligue 1, Lyon is the team that other European powerhouses most want to encounter.

I can't say how strong he is, but it is very difficult, and has always been difficult. In the European war, if there is an election, almost all the giants would rather meet with Paris Saint-Germain or the vigorous Monaco, rather than play two games with Lyon.

After two years of missing the Champions League, Lyon, who was weak but not strong but never weak when strong, is back again.

In the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League group stage, defending champions Manchester City and Lyon, Dun Mine and Huo Cun are in Group F. Lyon will be Manchester City’s opponent in the first match, even if the Premier League’s 11:0 victory was the bottom of the game a few days ago. , Guardiola did not dare to care.

But before going to teach Lyon away, Guardiola did a little thing first.

9:1 ​​Harbin, 6:1 Newcastle, 11:0 Fulham, let the English media launch a self-confident reflection of ‘the Premier League has no underdogs’. Is it time to tear off the emperor’s new outfit?

The Bundesliga Bayern stand out, Serie A has grown from the Seven Sisters to the North’s top three and now Juventus has grown bigger. La Liga has been Real Madrid’s and Barcelona’s private place since ancient times. Only the Premier League has continued to counterattack with grassroots heroes one after another. Leicester City is gorgeous in 2015. It's still vivid.

'The Premier League has no underdogs' has always been England's confidence to despise the other major leagues. The rise of the giants is not a day, but the mid-lower team faces the giants without abandoning or giving up, fighting to the last second of the last game, is the most **** An admirable place.

But Manchester City's performance in cutting vegetables and melons in the new season has forced the industry and the media to face up to this change. Through data analysis, in recent years, the scoring rate of Premier League mid- and lower-level teams against giants has dropped significantly. The emergence of BIG6 and the solidification of BIG6 are evidence.

Before BIG6, there were indeed dominant teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal in the Premier League, as well as Manchester City, which rose after Mansour took over. The four of them divided up more than 20 championships except for 2015. .

But in the past, the ownership of the strong teams competing for the championship mainly depends on their respective winning percentages against the middle and lower teams. Who can win the game where three points are required will have the upper hand in the competition.

And this is the true essence of "No Underdogs in the Premier League". Leicester City's victory is a miracle, but the Bundesliga also had Kaiserslautern and Fort Madi, and Serie A had Verona as far away as Naples. La Liga Super Deportivo, Super Bats won the championship is not far away.

The myth of the dark horse is not unique to the Premier League. It is the unique Premier League logo that weak teams play every year.

But in recent years, the data has changed significantly. BIG6's championship and ranking basically depend on the results of the direct strong dialogue between them. The upset of the weak over the strong in the league is still playing out, but it will not affect the final ranking of the top six players in the standings.

Don’t think that this change is a trivial matter. The reason why the Premier League has attracted the most investment from consortia, and the reason why it has more TV broadcast fees than other major leagues, is that the competition here is more intense, there is no junk games, every one The confrontations are fast-paced.

The reason is that the mid-lower team is full of fighting spirit, and the courageous courage to kill. But now, these good qualities are disappearing, the weak teams are gradually recognizing their fate, facing the giants more and more quickly lose the courage to resist.

If this continues, the Premier League will "degenerate" into several other major leagues and lose its unique prosperity.

The media and the industry hope to explore the reasons for this phenomenon from various angles. Zhuo Yang is certainly strong, but Manchester City's consecutive victories led by him is just the most prominent performance in concrete terms. In fact, BIG6's win rate against mid-lower teams is improving, and Manchester City is just the most scary.

Many experts and gold medal reporters have discussed this issue in the media. Among them, the "Times" football edition signed Joe Gallo Site (JoeGalloSite) "Passing and controlling football's profound changes to the tradition of the Premier League" stood out.

From a purely technical and tactical point of view, the article expounds with extremely professional writing, and the viewpoints put forward are very convincing.

The article believes that since the coaching of Arsenal by Professor Wenger 22 years ago brought European technicalization to the Premier League, the stereotype of English football's long pass has changed.

Over the past two decades, the technical level of the Premier League has been significantly improved, the tactics have become more colorful, and the fierce fighting, open and close style has not been lost, so that the Premier League is full of fast-paced and fierce confrontation.

The Premier League teams admire scramble and are good at scramble, but the weakness of the scramble is exposed in the pass and control led by Guardiola.

Guardiola's success in Barcelona has led the trend of football control, and many different schools have emerged, such as Klopp's bombardment, Pochettino's wingback revolution, and so on.

These trendy footballs have a common feature-high position press.

Fighting is not pressing, it is more advanced than traditional fighting.

The traditional fighting of the Premier League teams mainly occurs in the first and second areas of the attack, that is, the midfield, but the high-position press starts from the pressure on the goalkeeper and defender. The defense of the Premier League team has never felt the pressure and pain it is now. .

In the previous Premier League, defenders were at least safe when holding the ball. They relied on iron spirit and courage to complete most of the work, but now they are not. The defenders must have good ball holding, possession and throwing abilities. It is possible to fight against the off-ball side's high press.

However, defenders who can play, control and dribble the ball safely are scarce in the world. Almost all of them are recruited by the rich. Because of the financial resources and influence of the middle and lower teams, even if they have such a defender, they cannot keep it.

In the past two or three years, BIG6 has been very superb in terms of high position press, no matter what the tactical details are. During the offensive and defensive transition, the effective press against the opponent's defense and even the midfielder makes it difficult for the opponent to play a bright rhythm on offense.

The high position press is not just a physical problem, nor is it a simple tactical problem. It is a very advanced football with physical fitness + high technical ability + tactical system.

These, the English Premier League middle and lower teams can not do, neither has the right players to support the tactics, nor the right tactics to improve the players.

Therefore, the simple blood and bravery, the power is greatly reduced, the defense can not fight, and the offensive can not make the ball, the team will soon be consumed with confidence and courage.

After a long time, under the deep sense of powerlessness, facing the BIG6 team, they will involuntarily give up. It is better to save the strength.

The more you struggle, the more miserable you lose. It's better to lie flat and enjoy.

The views of the article are very old and convincing. It not only has data, partial tactical illustrations, and explanations of key points of the game.

It's all dry stuff, without a little water, it can shame all long-form writers, including the platinum god.

The article praised Guardiola very much, thinking that his all-defense, pass-and-control football revolution has now achieved the solidification of the Premier League class, and will surely promote the second technical wave of the Premier League in the future. Its significance is no less than the industrial revolution.

Other big-name coaches may be bitter about Guardiola's licking of the article, but they all hold a positive attitude towards the'high position press theory' and agree that this is the case.

"Passing and controlling football's profound changes to the tradition of the Premier League" caused resonance and sensation in the football world, but no one knows who the author Joe Gallo Sit is sacred.

From the perspective of the professionalism of the article, either a senior coach-but the average coach does not have such a good pen, or a gold medal reporter who has been immersed in football for decades, but the circle has never heard of this name.

.

Zhuo Yang also watched it, and he watched it with his assistant coach Arteta. Tazi looked and laughed, looking very happy.

"Brother Tazi, you ate magpie eggs and laughed like this...Oh, I see, you wrote this."

"No, no, I don't have such great ability." Tazi shook his head quickly.

"Then you laugh a hammer, it's weird."

"Hehehe, I know who wrote it."

"Oh? Do I know?"

"Yes, you know too much." Tazi leaned close to Zhuo Yang's ear: "It's Pepu."

Zhuo Yang: "..."

"Fuck, it's true? Licking himself, he is too shameless." Zhuo Yang said: "Although Pep is usually shameless, he is not so ill."

"He really wrote it, why did I lie to you."

"Did you ask him?"

"Old Zhuo, look. Joe Gallo Sit, a British name, right? But the three initials of the name are'JGS', and the three initials of Pep's name also happen to be'JGS'. , You said it was a coincidence?"

Guardiola's full name: Josep Guardiola Issara (), "Pep" is the nickname of the Spanish name Josep (Josep).

However, it is a bit far-fetched for Tazige to conclude that ‘Joe Gallo Sit’ is Laogua’s pseudonym based on this.

"That's it? I'm studying less, don't coax me."

"One hundred percent."

Zhuo Yang: "So,...he's really shameless."

"Not bad."

.

The calm face of the old melon was holding the newspaper and reading it carefully, only to glance at Zhuo Yang's eyes from time to time to reveal a little bit of his thoughts.

Zhuo Yang didn't ask. Concentrate on manicuring your nails with a small file.

In the end, the old melon couldn't help it. He passed the newspaper casually and said casually: "Zhuo Yang, you look at this article, it's very professional."

Zhuo Yang didn't answer, and continued to sharpen his nails.

"Look, look. It's rare to have such a professional football article in the British media. I really admire this author. At first glance, he is very knowledgeable and level."

Too shameless.

"Let it go, I've seen it."

"Talk about it." Old Gu's eyebrows were shaking.

Zhuo Yang beat the gray nails on the file. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "If this article is given to me as a graduation thesis, maybe I will put him on the second doctoral hat, Doctor of Football"

"Really? So powerful?" Old Gu's eyes were full of stars.

"Of course." Zhuo Yang said: "But Brother Gua, the article is a good article, but don't you feel embarrassed to praise yourself so much?"

That on Guardiola's face is wonderful. "No... I didn't write it, how could I write it? No..."

"Come on, shameless is not ashamed, a dead duck is ashamed of a hard mouth. Brother Tazi has already analyzed from this pen name, and it is you who wrote it. Also Joe Gallo Sit, slurping your mouth? You count as one. The pen name of'Wucao Daxian' is also stronger than this."

"Oh, **** it, it's the **** day." Guardiola laughed instead when he was thoroughly exposed. "He analyzed a fart. He saw it when I was writing in the office and helped me correct two typos. He gave the pen name and promised not to tell others..."

"...You two, shameless."
