Chapter 612 Chain Defense

? David and Moji didn't chat too much, because the players of the two teams had already walked into the tunnel, and the game was about to start.

Because it is an away game, and the home uniforms of the two teams are basically the same, so Juventus put on a blue away game. If it is the first sight of fans who do not know the background of the game watching TV, even Might think of Notts County as Juventus...

When the players of the two teams entered the stadium, the Notts County fans wearing black and white striped shirts in the stands collectively gave out deafening cheers. Juventus players looked at the familiar picture, as if this place seemed to be their home court— - Alpine Stadium.

Looking at the away jersey on my body, the sense of hilarity arises spontaneously, which is really interesting!

At this time, the commentators had already obtained the starting lists of the two teams and began to introduce them.

There is not much suspense in Juventus' starting lineup. Although Nedved has been injured constantly this season, playing on and off, he has been recovering from injuries for some time before. Fortunately, he finally came back to the front line before this game, which greatly improved. The team's morale was boosted, and the striker who attracted everyone's attention started. Because Trezeguet suddenly caught a cold before the game, he stayed in Turin and did not follow the team to England at all, so the Pi team and Feng Xian appeared without any suspense. in the starting lineup.

On the Notts County side, Carvalho felt muscle discomfort because of the national team game. He was not included in the squad for this game. Although Robben, who also had a cold before the game, was included in the squad, he was placed on the bench by Loew. On the table, the 18-year-old Messi will be on such a big stage for the first time.

After the game started, although the two teams didn't know much about each other, they skipped the tentative stage and directly showed their respective housekeeping skills.

Notts County, who are playing at home, keeps accelerating the rhythm of the attack, hoping to control the situation with a fast-paced pass and control, making Juventus scrambling. On the contrary, Juventus hope that the rhythm will slow down and then slow down. Only in this way can they be able to. Use your strengths to your advantage against Notts County.

But soon, Juventus players found that Notts County's fast-paced passing control style made it difficult for them to block effectively near the midfield, which means that the high pressing tactics have lost their due effect.

The tactical innovation in world football is always very fast. Maybe some coaches have inadvertently moved the team's defense line to the midfield position before, and found that it has special effects for specific occasions, and it has gradually spread. Such a line of defense will be set up in any case.

Among them, Notts County is undoubtedly the most used, and Loew even has a special identification and preference for high-position pressing, which can already be said to be the standard configuration of most of Notts County's games.

I am good at pressing from a high position, so I think in a different position,

What should they do when they face high pressure? Notts County is also unique in this regard, just like now, maybe Juventus is a typical Italian team, and there are many chain defense systems on the back line. The team has to scratch their heads for it, but the first line of defense is advanced, but the effect may not be as effective as that of the mid-level Premier League teams, because high-level pressing and physical confrontation have complementary effects, and high-intensity physical confrontation is more effective. And obviously, Juventus has not realized this.

Notts County's midfield pass control and reasonable use of the width of the pitch can easily break Juventus' high pressing, and then continue to threaten Juventus' goal, making Juventus have to frequently take foul tactics in the midfield. To disrupt the rhythm of Notts County's offense.

Foul tactics are like a double-edged sword. Although Notts County’s offense can lose its rhythm and direction for a while, the consequences are bound to be serious. In just ten minutes, Juventus has been whistled five times. Second foul, and Emerson and Blasi received a yellow card each.

This is not Serie A, this is the Champions League!

Maybe Moggi covers the sky with one hand in Serie A, maybe Juventus is domineering in Serie A, they won't get a yellow card for easy fouls, and they will not be awarded a penalty even if they are under the infinite care of the referee.

But this is not Serie A. Although Juventus has a certain influence in UEFA, it cannot cover the sky with bare hands. After all, there are many giants of the same level as them, and they are not that special.

I'm used to rampaging fouls in Serie A, but it doesn't work here. Actions that don't get a yellow card in Serie A are directly warned by a yellow card here.

The yellow card has come, will the red card be far behind?

Two consecutive yellow cards made the players of Juventus tied up. There is no way. There are only two yellow cards in such a short period of time. If Juventus does not converge, the referee will continue to play cards according to this efficiency. At the end, Juventus is about to terminate the game because the number of players on the field is less than seven!

Fortunately, Juventus' defense is as solid and tenacious as ever. Even if Notts County hits the hinterland of Juventus in the positional attack, Italy's chain defense will cut off the connection between Notts County's frontcourt players and let them. Notts County is hardly a direct threat.

Of course, the situation is the same in reverse. Notts County pays great attention to Juventus’ counter-attack. There is also Cannavaro, a player who is familiar with the Italian team’s offensive characteristics, to direct the defensive line. Juventus’ limited attack is also ineffective. Too much of a threat to Notts County's goal.

Halfway through the first half, the game has entered a stalemate stage. It seems that this is the picture that the game should have.

David looked at the tangled scene and sighed in his heart. The tenacious Italy, relying on unparalleled tactical execution and unique chain defense, made countless opponents hate in front of them, even if they were stronger than the national team. Their opponent also hit the south wall and couldn't turn back. I really don't know if this is a kind of sadness or what!

In fact, the most standard chain defense is five defenders. The most important part is the defender who is dragged to the end, that is, the scavenger. There are two man-marking defenders in front of the scavenger. You can boldly go for man-marking. The two side and back positions should have strong attacking power. Although Juventus is now playing four backs, the only change is that there is one less man-marking. One of the two defenders is mainly responsible for man-marking, and the other Mainly responsible for the coordination of filling positions, the overall essence is unchanged!

Now Notts County's positional offense is unable to pick up speed because of Juventus' retreat, and the overall offense is a bit like being made by Juventus!

Four backs are so difficult to deal with, David really doubts which team can break through Juventus with five backs in a positional attack! (To be continued.)
