Chapter 252 Individual Performance(1/2)
In the game against Marseille now, how can we "improve" our own luck? The answer is definitely not to let Falcao compete with the opponent's defender in front.
That makes no sense at all.
It is not very meaningful to pass high balls on the wing and midfield to the middle. The French team is not afraid of high-altitude balls. Their two tall and strong defenders have an advantage in defending high-altitude balls. In contrast, Falcao is much weaker in height.
It is not possible for peripheral players to enter the penalty area. In the intensive defense of the penalty area, the skill and running effect become very small. If you want to score the ball, it is not to "increase luck", but to "reduce luck".
An important purpose of football tactics is to play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, to give full play to your own strengths and avoid facing your opponents with disadvantages.
What are the advantages of Atletico Madrid?
technology!
speed!
flexible!
The player's personal ability is also a very important one. If you want to "increase your luck", you must give your own side more room to play.
So what Wan Sheng has to do is give the players on the court, especially the two full-backs and midfielders, more freedom.
Marseille didn't want to attack at all. They just played the defense and fought back with luck. The team's defensive pressure was not great. If they continued to run according to tactics and pass the ball, it was completely a waste of physical fitness. Since the opponent did not take the initiative to attack, the team had a lot of room for playing in the range, so the players needed to perform individually.
In general, Wan Sheng likes to control the rhythm and progress in his own hands. He doesn't like to let players perform at will, but in fact, he knows very well that the players' personal abilities are also part of the tactics. Otherwise, why do various clubs spend a lot of money to introduce stars?
For any team, the performance of the star is important.
The same goes for Atletico Madrid.
The purpose of formulating tactics is to let the players perform on the court. Each player is based on tactics and shows his unique side. All the players add up to form various teams and games.
This is football.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to die, Wan Sheng called Thiago Silva, who was closest to him, and asked him to inform others about how to play.
"Break through more and drive more! Don't be afraid of being cut off. They don't plan to attack anyway. Just pay attention to the defense. We don't need to run back and forth, press forward and play. Try to play boldly and show what you have!"
j-Rodriguez and Isco and others, their eyes shone brightly after Wansheng's adjustment.
They didn't dare to think about such a requirement, but they didn't expect that they could play like this in the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
Play as you like!
Free-dribbling and break through!
The coaches simply let them perform at will to attract the audience’s attention! When did the Champions League quarter-finals become an exhibition match? But they did not complain, but they all became very energetic.
Everyone likes to defeat their opponents in their own way!
In the following game, everyone gradually discovered that Atletico Madrid's tactics were different.
Before, players were running and passing the ball at Atletico Madrid. The most wonderful transmission and cooperation can be seen constantly. The two-way crossing cooperation from left to right, from back to front is really eye-catching.
Atletico Madrid has now reduced the number of passes and receptions, and many players have increased their personal dribbling.
Among the 11 players in the entire team, the most obvious performance was J-Rodriguez and Isco. After the two got the ball, they rarely passed it back, and they all dribbled the ball forward and broke through.
They were stolen both times, but their performance was also wonderful.
Other Atletico Madrid players didn't seem to care that they were intercepted, but just supported the run while preventing Marseille from launching a quick counterattack.
Soon, the players on the field of the Horse all saw the adjustments of Atletico Madrid. They thought the opponent was stupid: Didn’t playing like this reduce our defensive pressure?
Football games are collective sports!
It is much easier to defend a person than to defend a team, not to mention that Ozil, who is the most truly good at breaking through, is still lying in the hospital in Atletico Madrid.
j-Rodriguez and Isco?
These two guys are not very famous people!
The reporters in the media seats and commentators from various TV stations also said that Atletico Madrid's playing style is a bit unfamiliar.
Atletico Madeli's technical advantages lie in overall coordination, flexible tactical play, and close coordination. They rarely rely on the players' personal abilities to score goals.
In La Liga, Real Madrid is the number of teams that rely heavily on players' abilities to score goals, followed by Barcelona.
Only these two teams have ‘superstars’, and heroic goals are more popular.
"How did Atletico Madrid make adjustments? This kind of kick is not what they are good at..."
"Rodriguez and Isco are dribbling the ball continuously. Just now, even the backcourt has an extraordinary presence. It is very dangerous in official games, especially in the Champions League."
"Atlanie Madrid has obviously made adjustments, and their current style of play is not what they are good at..."
The media are talking about it.
They think Wan Sheng made a fool of himself, otherwise how could he let the team play like this?
The camera pointed to the Atletico Madrid coaching seat.
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, just watching the game seriously, with no expression on his face, as if he was not worried about the game, and he still had some small expectations?
In fact, media reporters’ analysis cannot be wrong.
Compared with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid players are not so outstanding in their personal abilities, especially Ozil, who is best at personal performance, cannot play at all. Only J-Rodriguez can "show off" skills on the court, plus a young Isco, find the third one, that is, center Falcao, but Falcao's position determines how much room he has to play.
But don't forget one thing - Atletico Madrid's opponent is Marseille France!
Marseille, France?
That's not Real Madrid, not Barcelona. The gap between their player abilities and Atletico Madrid is much bigger than that between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid and Barcelona!
So on the field, Atletico Madrid players have an advantage in their personal abilities.
Wan Sheng also believes in his players.
For example, J-Rodriguez has outstanding personal abilities. Even if he is not as good as C-Ronaldo and Messi, it is enough to compare with Iniesta, Di Maria and others. In addition, the direct bonus of coaching skills to the performance of official players, J-Rodriguez can definitely be expected to use his personal skills to perform.
Isco is a little worse, but not much worse. He is an excellent offensive avant-garde.
As long as you give two more opportunities, they will likely perform well.
This is ‘creating luck’!
Now it is very difficult for Atletico Madrid to break through the penalty area cast by Marseille to defend intensively. It is better to give players personal performance opportunities and constantly create "luck" to find opportunities.
As long as there are enough times, quantitative change may turn into qualitative change!
Of course, nothing is absolute, not 100%, and this is especially true for football games. Wansheng's adjustment is not to allow the team to score goals, but to pursue "the hope of scoring goals is greater."
Even if J-Rodriguez and Isco work hard only once, the tactical adjustment is equivalent to success!
Marseille didn't realize the danger.
The Marseille players on the court felt that the defense was much easier. When the opponent's players broke through, they just had to go to double-team. This was better than the nervousness before, and the relaxed defense also made them feel relieved.
Soon the Marseille players became nervous again!
This was the 36th minute of the game. Isco dribbled the ball into the penalty area and then raised his foot and shot hard. The football slightly missed the post.
Although he did not score, it was enough to make Marseille fans nervous!
"Isco! This Spanish teenager just showed his courage. He used his speed to pass two defensive players in Marseille, and then almost broke through the Marseille goal with a powerful shot!"
The moment the football flew towards the goal, Atletico Madrid fans began to cheer.
It’s a pity that the ball didn’t go in!
Isco covered his face with both hands and smiled at his teammates, feeling very sorry for not scoring the goal.
The Marseille players next to him kept looking at him. They felt that this young Spanish boy was really not lucky enough to be on the side of Marseille.
Fans from Isco to Atletico Madrid were very sorry for not scoring, and the same was true for Wan Sheng standing off the court. At the moment Isco shot, he clenched his fists, but in the end he didn't score, and he sighed.
Wansheng has no other performance.
The game is still long, and he believes that there are still many opportunities, especially J-Rodriguez and Isco perform better and better. While they perform individually, they will also find opportunities to cooperate with their teammates. This is actually the most deadly. If you continue, he believes that the team will definitely score.
Just as Wan Sheng expected, a second chance soon came.
This time it was replaced by j-Rodriguez.
j-Rodriguez dribbled the ball from the middle and was blocked by two opponents. He changed direction and led to the right. Then at the corner of the penalty area, he made a long shot, tricking the Marseille player who was defending the front. He immediately dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line, and then suddenly dribbled into the penalty area after a few steps.
The Marseille defender who was closest to defending couldn't react at all. He watched J-Rodriguez pass by and bring the ball into the penalty area.
This is just an ordinary extraordinary person.
When we arrived in the penalty area, Marseille's defense was even more dense, and it was not easy to find the space for shooting.
j-Rodriguez demonstrates outstanding technical skills!
He pushed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot and only adjusted one step. He followed the ball with his right foot and gently pushed it with his outer instep. Then he jumped up.
While J-Rodriguez jumped up, one foot was already shoveling across the ground.
j-Rodriguez jumped up in time, avoided the opponent's horizontal shovel, and landed right behind the football. After that, he did not make any adjustments, but directly pushed the ball forward, squeezing the opponent's defender's defense, and rushed forward.
"Look at this ball! Look at this ball! Rodriguez! Rodriguez! He faces the entire defense line of Marseille alone!"
"He completed an amazing performance! The action was done in one go, and the defensive line of Marseille was helpless!"
The game commentator shouted excitedly, and the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands also cheered loudly to cheer for J-Rodriguez.
