Chapter 594: Hollywood is in chaos! The whole world is eating Gu Ran’s melon!

First of all, Simeone's 442 uses a traditional four-back formation with two midfielders, and then uses more backcourt ball points to destroy the opponent's high-pressing formation.

When the ball is in the backcourt, Simeone will let one of the midfielders retreat to the arc of the penalty area, forming a partial three-centre-back formation with his two central defenders. At the same time, the other midfielder will follow the left and right midfielders. The full-back retreats to the center to form a midfield contact point.

This is equivalent to a big triangle with a small triangle inside it. This is not a simple diamond strangulation, but a double triangle strangulation.

This kind of strangle formation is more layered and more three-dimensional than a simple diamond strangle, and it can also maintain the balance of the overall formation. When it comes to defense, it strangles immediately. When it comes to counterattack, the midfield line immediately recovers. Invest in the frontcourt.

Therefore, Simeone's 442 seems simple, but in fact it is complicated.

Simeone's requirements for formation tactics are extremely simple compared to Guardiola's passing and controlling flow. The entire system of Guardiola's passing and controlling flow is very complicated, and every player's triangular movement is required. Repeated exercises and running-in, without big-name stars, without a youth training academy that specializes in triangle coordination and passing control, and without the overall playing environment and atmosphere of the European continent, it would be difficult for Guardiola's Barcelona to succeed.

Simeone doesn't care about the details of the formation. He just expresses the core concepts and then fully develops and taps the potential of the players.

Of Simeone's two defensive midfielders, one must be able to play as a central defender, and the other must be able to play as a full-back or full-back.

Simeone's center back must also be able to play as a defensive midfielder, and Simeone's two full-backs must also be able to play as a midfielder.

The left and right full-backs moved to near the center line, almost parallel to the opponent's second line of defense. On the one hand, this ensures that the ball can be quickly advanced to the midfield position by expanding the passing angle. On the other hand, it can also contain the overall forward pressure of the opponent's second line of defense, widen the distance between the opponent's forwards and midfielders, and disrupt the opponent's high-position press. , amplifying the team's numerical advantage in the backcourt, and at the same time, the adduction of the left and right midfielders also protects and fills the space behind the full-backs.

In this way, Simeone's 442 formation can maintain a high degree of unity.

As a head coach who focuses on defensive counterattacks, Simeone rarely sends one of his own players to mark the opponent's players alone, because it is not necessary, because Simeone's defensive counterattack strategy of double triangle strangulation can almost be passed through. Kill any enemy star.

In other words, if even Simeone's snake oil player + double triangle strangulation tactic cannot guard the opponent's star, then sending a single player to guard the opponent's star will be even more difficult. On the contrary, it will be due to the lack of one player. , leading to the missing corners and collapse of the entire 442 formation.

This kind of tactical detail actually goes far beyond the 442 position itself.

And if you want to execute this tactic accurately, you need players specially built for the details of this formation.

Simeone's supporting tactics place extremely high demands on the four midfielders.

It is not only a requirement on personal ability, but also a requirement on position diversity.

In the past, players were Ding, Ding, and Mao. Those who played as left midfielders were left midfielders, those who played right midfielders were right midfielders, and those who played forwards were forwards. However, with the development of the times, changes in tactics, and strengthening of the body, modern players There are many B2B stars emerging in football.

B2B-style stars have also greatly promoted the rise of classical tactics.

If the left midfielder can only play left midfielder, the right midfielder can only play right midfielder, the forward can only play forward, and the defender can only play defender, then from a tactical perspective, 442 should have been eliminated and thrown into the trash can. 352 is even more so.

However, precisely because modern players can run longer and play in a wider range than previous players, even the long-outdated 442 tactics can shine again and be revived.

Times are reincarnations, and the stories in the world are still those stories, but just because the people in the stories have changed, so even if times are reincarnated, the stories are new. Therefore, even if the tactics are still called 442 and 352, the core Factor players are already players of the new era, so the 442 of this era is a brand new 442.

There are no outdated tactics.

Just old players. The current midfielders in Atletico Madrid's team, whether it is Koke, Saul, Kondogbia, and Herrera in the defensive midfielder position, or Lemar, Vitolo, Correa, and Cala in the wide position. Scott and Llorente are both infinitely close to being "all-round players" with both offensive and defensive abilities.

At the same time, particularly outstanding players such as Saul, Koke and Llorente have been transformed by Simeone into versatile players who can attack and defend.

The high degree of integration and adjustability between players and tactical formations is the most obvious highlight that distinguishes Atletico Madrid from other teams.

The same midfielder can assume multiple positions on the field, which undoubtedly increases Atletico Madrid's tactical flexibility at both the offensive and defensive levels.

When the ball is in the midfield and backfield, the defensive midfielder with high-level tactical literacy and long-passing ability can directly cross the opponent's midfield defense line to complete the connection with the high-point forward partner. At the same time, other midfield players and another forward can surround Complete the two-point scramble and attack near the high point.

This seemingly simple and crude tactic cannot even be called an advanced tactic, but it is supported by Atletico Madrid's versatile midfield line.

Of course, Simeone's 442 tactic also needs time to run in. Now he has just joined Atletico Madrid and is still sorting out the team and helping Atletico Madrid run in. Atletico Madrid's midfield and frontcourt pressing and backcourt defense , there is still a bit of a disconnect.

This is also Southampton's only chance in today's game.

It is better to meet Atletico Madrid in the group stage early than to wait for a while and then meet Atletico Madrid after Simeone has completely sorted it out.

As the referee blew his whistle, the first round of Group G of the Europa League officially began.

This game is also the focus of Group G. Not only did it attract a large number of fans, but it was also broadcast live by sports media from all over the world. Scouts from major giants came to watch the game, and even many celebrities from Madrid were seated. in a box at the Calderon Arena.

Many people came not to watch this Europa League group match, but to watch the legendary Gu Ran.

Gu Ran's fame was already very big at this time.

Southampton is a small and weak team, but Gu Ran was able to pull Southampton on his own and win consecutive English League One championships, English Championship championships, English League Cup championships, and FA Cup championships. , Community Shield champion.

This set of awards alone is enough to make all the wealthy families in the world interested in Gu Ran.

and……

It’s not just football awards, Gu Ran’s scandals are also flying around during this summer window: the Oscar-winning queen proudly said at the celebration conference of "Iron Man 2" that she has slept with the most powerful actor in the world. Men; At the press conference of "Batman 2", Anne Hathaway angrily criticized the queen, saying that she is always shameless, and she, Anne, is sleeping with the most powerful man in the world; the little queen Swifty is holding a concert At that time, she directly said that the person she loved most was Gu Ran...

Hollywood is in chaos.

This summer, the whole world is eating Gu Ran’s melons.

But at this moment, Gu Ran was playing football seriously.
