Legendary Road

The Dortmund players on the green field quietly changed their rhythm after communicating with Gotze.

They changed the passive defensive tactics they had just flinched, and began to actively grab.The Bayern player could have calmly controlled the ball at the front of Dortmund's penalty area, but now he was under pressure and had to pass the ball back to the forward midfielder.

Beckenbauer on the sidelines quickly discovered the changes made by Dortmund, and the entire defense line with Hanno as the core of the defense was greatly premised.The central and frontcourt players rely on the number of people in a certain area to implement an organized siege against Bayern's ball holders. In this way, the Bayern players under high pressure have to rush out the ball, and the quality of the passed ball is not high, so It is difficult to form an effective offense.

And Dortmund's local contraction and pressure are also inducing Bayern to transfer the ball, which is of great help to Dortmund players in predicting Bayern's ball line and intercepting it in advance.

This kind of high-position oppression tactic is actually not uncommon in actual combat. Its founder is the legendary Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi who led AC Milan to shine in Europa in the 90s.

Different from Italy's traditional reinforced concrete defense, Sacchi's AC Milan's style of play is unique. The high-position oppressive tactics not only brought championships and glory to AC Milan, but also brought a revolution to modern football's off-the-ball defense. Sexual change is unprecedented.

It is precisely because of this that Sacchi ranked first among the world's top 2013 football coaches selected by "French Football" magazine in [-], surpassing Ferguson, Santana and other famous coaches.

As someone who has been there, Yan Jing naturally knows this tactic very well. He still clearly remembers the frontcourt contraction formation he used when he won the European Championship in Spain in 2008.Don't hesitate to press closely, even if you can't grab the ball, it will force the opponent to transfer, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the opponent's offensive organization.

In the beginning, when Yan Jing arranged training on high-position pressing for the players, the effect was really unsatisfactory, because this tactic requires a high awareness of the players' positioning.

Under the premise that the three lines are closely connected, it is necessary to ensure the coordination of the stance, which requires good physical fitness and a high degree of tacit understanding between the players-for those who have rarely practiced this style of play in actual combat For the Dortmund players, Yan Jing has extremely high demands on them, so almost most of the players couldn't bear it in the first few training sessions.

However, after several months of training, the boys under Yan Jing have already played well, and they are no longer making mistakes like they were at first.

The ball kept passing under the feet of Bayern players, but it was getting farther and farther away from Dortmund's penalty area.

The Bayern midfielder responsible for organizing the offense was a bit overwhelmed by the pressure of the Dortmund players. Dortmund's overall formation continued to consciously press towards the ball holder, but this also left a gap behind, which seemed to be an obvious loophole. .

The head coach of Bayern naturally also noticed this. He turned his head and glanced at Yan Jing who was still calm, thinking about how to deal with it.

We all know that when a team adopts partial contraction and pressing in a game, their formation must be concentrated in a certain area.If they fail to completely cut off the opposition ball carrier from other areas, the opponent can take advantage of the opportunity to move the ball into the space they leave.

If the players who receive the ball have better personal abilities, they can drive the ball all the way to destroy their defense line. At this time, the so-called defensive system no longer exists.

But before the head coach of Bayern could figure out a way, Adolf had successfully intercepted the ball from the feet of the Bayern players.

When the Bayern players reacted and stretched their feet to fight back, he felt a sudden gust of wind whistling past him, and only then did he notice that the ball was no longer under Adolf's feet!

The Bayern players turned around hastily, and Royce in front of him had already left him several meters away, leaving only a back.

But Adolf cleverly got stuck in front of the opponent before the Bayern players chased Royce. It took some time for the Bayern players to get rid of Adolf's entanglement, and the other Bayern players who were chasing back had no time to take into account the integrity of the formation in a hurry.

After Royce got the ball, Gotze in the middle consciously moved forward in the middle immediately.

They were right under the nose of the referee, Bayern's midfielder followed closely but did not dare to foul rashly, and Dortmund's striker was already cruising in Bayern's penalty area.

Bayern's defenders stared down at Dortmund's striker, denying him any chance of receiving the ball.

At this time, Royce sent the ball accurately to Gotze in the middle with a diagonal plug, and the Dortmund striker in the penalty area suddenly started to run behind the goal.

Bayern's central defender didn't dare to be careless, so he followed.

In front of Gotze in the middle is the Bayern midfielder who has chased him back when he catches the ball. Gotze is full of confidence in the face of a slightly nervous opponent.

He first flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, bent his knees and leaned to the left, making a gesture to pass the ball.

The defensive midfielder instinctively tried to break the ball to the right side, but Gotze quickly stretched out his foot and pulled the ball back with the inside of his foot. Taking advantage of the opponent's lack of adjustment of the center of gravity, he passed the opponent cleanly.

At this time, almost all the other Bayern players had run back to their positions. Gotze was still five or six meters away from the penalty area, and there were still three people defending him in front of him.

The full-back who was originally responsible for marking Royce also shrank his position towards the center, leaving Royce with a large space on the side.

Seeing this, Gotze cleverly passed the ball to Damm who was supposed to be on the right, but now switched to the left.

The two exchanged a look, and Damm understood and continued to take the ball to the left.

Yan Jing, who had been paying attention to the situation on the field, couldn't help but nodded unconsciously, then buried himself in the notebook and continued to record something.

After Damm controlled the ball at his feet, Bayern's midfielder, who had been closely following Gotze, shifted his target and pressed Damm.Gotze moved closer to the left in time to respond, and Damm took advantage of the situation and returned the ball to Gotze.

Bayern's defenders did not dare to rush forward, because there were no defensive players behind them except the goalkeeper.After all, Goetze is still some distance away from the penalty area. It is a wise choice to hold his position now and not reveal obvious gaps.

Seeing that his opponent was not fooled, Gotze simply mobilized Bayern's players to run back and forth with Damm on the wing, and continued to lean to the left on purpose.

Since Dortmund's ball holders have been moving on the left, the defensive focus of the Bayern players is also unconsciously shifting to the left.

In front of Royce, who stopped on the right after scoring the ball, there was only one Bayern player who was still paying attention to the other side. The large open space made Royce realize that the opportunity had come.

Gotze and Damm still made some passes on the left to continue to attract Bayern's defensive players. Royce on the right raised his hand for the ball when he found the right time.

"Mario!"

Gotze, who had this idea earlier, immediately locked Royce's position with his peripheral vision, and quickly kicked up to find Royce with a cross across the width of the court.

However, Gotze's strength seemed to be a little bit lighter. The ball did not fall directly at Royce's feet, but rolled near the penalty area line.

Gotze's pass was slightly shorter, but it just saved Royce from unloading the ball.

He strode directly towards the penalty area and controlled the ball before Bayern's defender stretched out his feet. Bayern's players were shocked when they saw that there was only one defender in front of them, and they quickly came to make up for it.

Yan Jing stared straight at Royce in the penalty area, and clenched his sweaty hands.

This is a rare shooting opportunity!

Royce decisively raised his foot before the Bayern defender was in place, and volleyed the middle of the ball vigorously with the front of his foot without making any adjustments. The ball quickly rolled to the lower right corner of the goal against the turf.

At this time, Bayern's goalkeeper was standing on the left side. Although he had tried his best and stretched his hand on the ground desperately, trying to save the ball, the ball still rubbed against his fingertips and rolled into the net.

0-1, Dortmund is leading away!

Goetze, who sent this wonderful assist, rushed to Royce who scored the goal immediately, and was about to rush over to embrace their goal hero, but unexpectedly, Royce turned around and slipped away first, leaving a serious sentence at the end. A blow to Gotze's self-esteem.

"Mario, you know you are too heavy for me to lift!"

The other Dortmund players had stepped forward and surrounded Royce at this time. Gotze wanted to give Royce a few shots but couldn't squeeze in. He threw a ball at Royce from the side of the crowd. Contemptuous eyes.

Getze turned his head dissatisfied, and happened to see Yan Jing on the sidelines giving him a thumbs up, and immediately smiled happily and forgot about the trivial matter just now - Yan Jing rarely praised him in training or games Over him, no matter how good he is, Yan Jing is always pointing out his shortcomings.

Of course, Gotze understands that this is Yan Jing's importance to him, and now he is praised for his own efforts, and he is naturally happy in his heart.

Hi, it looks like tickets for the Champions League final are in the works!

Although Bayern's head coach on the sidelines was secretly cursing bad luck, he still took advantage of Dortmund's celebration time to call the frustrated Bayern midfielder to the sidelines, and told his players the simple and clear way to break the high pressure.

"Ortega, increase the speed of passing and receiving, ensure that there are at least two effective receiving points around when passing the ball, maintain the stability of the formation, use the width of the field to tear their defense line, play more high balls or try long shots .”

As a coach with relatively rich coaching experience, he knows that the increase in contact points can connect the front and back courts, making it difficult for opponents to steal the ball easily.The lateral transfer using the width of the field can fully drive the opponent in the backcourt, making the opponent tired of running and creating loopholes in the defensive position.

The reason for speeding up the pass rate is very simple. After all, for defensive players, the faster the pass rate, the faster the reference object changes, and the brain may not be able to keep up. Even if the brain keeps up, the legs may not be able to keep up. .

The Bayern players nodded frequently on the sidelines, and then returned to the field.

Turning around and looking at Yan Jing again, the head coach of Bayern is actually not very at ease-that's what he said, but it's not sure how far his own players can perform.
