Chapter 631 The true successor to Van Gaal’s legacy!
Frank DeBoer also has a brother named Ronald DeBoer.

Both brothers also played for Ajax and the Netherlands.

The older brother plays as an attacking midfielder, while Frank DeBoer plays as a defender.

Frank De Boer has been training in the Ajax youth academy since he was a child. He was promoted to the first team as soon as he turned 18. He followed Ajax and witnessed the most glorious period of the Ajax family.

When he was a player, Frank de Boer was very good, and his performance in his peak period was also recognized as the anchor of the Ajax/Netherlands defense.

Frank de Boer inherited the characteristics of the Netherlands' total attack and defense. While he defended firmly, he was very good at suddenly jumping in and participating in the attack, especially the sudden forward shot with his left foot or the heavy free kick that directly hit the goal. Very threatening.

At the same time, Frank DeBoer's outstanding overall view, control of the rhythm of the game, and cruise missile-like long passes can often help the forward complete the winning goal.

When he was a player, the only incident in which Frank de Boer was criticized was when the Netherlands played against Italy in the 2000 European Championship. Frank de Boer took two penalty kicks and missed both times. , which ultimately led to the Dutch team being eliminated by the Italian team.

Although he has had such unpleasant memories, Frank DeBoer, as a player in the 90s, can definitely be regarded as a mainstay in world football.

Frank de Boer is the apprentice of "Chef" Van Gaal, and he is a good apprentice who belongs to the direct line.

De Boer played under Louis van Gaal when he was a player. Later, when he served as an assistant coach for the Dutch national team, the Dutch head coach at the time was Louis van Gaal.

Therefore, De Boer can be said to be the true successor of Van Gaal in terms of formation and tactics.

Speaking of Van Gaal's status in football, it can definitely be described as godfather level.

Although everyone knows Manchester United's Ferguson and Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, in terms of the influence of football coaches, Van Gaal is the most awesome.

After Ferguson retired, not many players became famous coaches.

The same goes for Wenger.

But Van Gaal not only trained many world-class stars, but also trained many world-class coaches.

Although the tactics of total offense and defense started with Michel and emerged from Cruyff, Van Gaal does not seem to be a master of total offense and defense, passing and controlling tactics, but Van Gaal used his own ideas to Created another Ajax dynasty, created the miracle of 52 consecutive unbeaten games, defeated Milan three times in the Champions League, doubled Real Madrid, and eliminated Bayern and Dortmund and other powerful teams.

You know, in Van Gaal's era, Serie A teams were very strong.

The emergence of Van Gaal directly ended Milan's Champions League dynasty.

Van Gaal attaches great importance to wing offense and maintaining the overall formation. When Van Gaal coached Jia Fu, Jia Fu's offensive delivery was very smooth and highly entertaining, and the winning rate was extremely high. Every outstanding player could be defeated by Fan Gaal. Gal brings out his potential.

Van Gaal has successively trained and promoted Dutch international players such as Kluivert, Seedorf, Overmars, De Boer brothers, Edwin van der Sar, Reiziger, Bogarde, Melchiot, etc., and also selected in addition to Litmanen, Finidi George, Kanu and other outstanding foreign players were only around 20 years old when they joined Ajax.

In terms of tactics alone, Van Gaal may not be as groundbreaking as Michel, nor may he be able to develop a tactic into a complete system like Keshen, or may not be as able to patch the system as repeatedly as Guardiola. Repairs, but Van Gaal is definitely the best at recognizing and employing people. In addition to well-known stars such as Kluivert and Finnish iceman Litmanen, Van Gaal also brought out the madman Mourinho, Guardiola, the scapegoat Enrique, and the black swan Rijkaard. , Koeman, De Boer and other world-class well-known coaches.

Van Gaal's own nicknames are Chef, Chef Fan, and Chef Fan.

At first, this nickname came from the silly chef played by Fan Wei in the sketch "Selling Kid", but after this nickname became popular, fans felt that this nickname really suited Van Gaal.

Because Van Gaal can reorganize tactics based on the characteristics of his players, this characteristic of cooking based on food abandons routines and can better stimulate the potential of young players.

Although the current Ajax head coach Frank De Boer is a direct disciple of Van Gaal, and he was taught by Chef Van Gaal both as a player and as a coach, but in fact, De Boer Er did not really inherit Van Gaal's mantle.

There is only one person who truly inherited Van Gaal's tactical philosophy: Jose Mourinho.

Even Guardiola is not the heir to Van Gaal's legacy.

Although Van Gaal's basic tactical idea is also to attack and defend, pass and control, Guardiola also passes and control, and Mourinho is to defend against counterattacks, but it is not Guardiola who truly inherits Van Gaal's tactical philosophy, but Mourinho.

The greatness of Guardiola's passing and controlling flow lies in the refinement of the routine. The Guardiola's passing and controlling flow is more beautiful than the passing and controlling during the period of Cruyff and Rijkaard, and the winning rate is also higher. However, apart from that To put it bluntly, in fact, the pass-and-control flow has nothing to do with tactics, and the pass-and-control flow is really not as great as imagined.

Why can the transmission and control flow arise?

In the football world before Michel, almost all teams adopted a low defensive strategy.

The so-called low defensive strategy, to put it simply, is to defend only in your own half. Even the Netherlands, which plays full offense and defense, starts full offense and defense in their own half.

Including the improvements of Cruyff and Rijkaard, this is basically the case. Tactics such as high-post pressing are only used at critical times.

However, when Guardiola came here, he changed the low defense to a high press, and it was a high press from beginning to end.

This is the real core of Guardiola. He regards high-position pressing as defense. The whole frontcourt presses like crazy and directly pushes the defense line and attack starting point deep into the opponent's defense line. At the time, this was simply Dimensionality reduction attack.

Therefore, the Barcelona Dream Three Dynasty can play crazy when playing against weak teams, and it can also play very beautifully when playing against strong teams, making people excited just watching it.

Also starting from Guardiola's passing and controlling flow, major clubs gradually responded from their confused state and began to require players to have the physical fitness to sprint all over the field, the ability to pass and receive, and the ability to break through with the ball.

And this kind of tactical play, fundamentally speaking, is actually inherited from Michel and Cruyff, but Guardiola stood behind Michel, Cruyff, Van Gaal, and Rijka. On the shoulders of De, there is only more enlightenment.
