Chapter 554 Get Messi
Yang Huan understood what Bielsa meant.
In fact, this is also the problem encountered by Atletico Madrid coach Simeone.
That is, Atletico Madrid needs to improve their ability and means to break through dense defenses.
Therefore, Simeone also intends to introduce a player with single-point breakthrough ability in the midfield this summer.
"Old Bei, you mean that the ability to break through dense defenses is the yardstick for measuring the true level of a team?"
Bielsa nodded heavily, "With the advent of the era of commercialization, with the entry of big capital, especially since the implementation of the Bosman Act, the mobility of players has become greater and greater, and the rich and powerful teams have more resources. Hoarding high-level stars, the gap between strength and weakness will become more and more wide.”
"In the case of a huge disparity in strength, if a weak team wants to defeat a strong team, it must adopt an overall intensive defensive tactic. Even in many important competitions, including the Champions League and the World Cup, utilitarian tactics are becoming more and more popular. Overall dense defense is increasingly proving to be an effective weapon in winning."
"So, the ability to break dense defenses will become more and more important!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but looked at Bielsa with admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The Argentine lunatic's tactical attainments are indeed admirable and thought-provoking. No wonder Guardiola was inspired after talking with him for a while, and created the dream three-team dynasty after returning to Spain.
Looking at Guardiola's Dream Team 3 again, there are indeed plenty of ways to break through dense defenses.
Through high-intensity frontcourt pressing and oppression, cut off the opponent's passing line, and immediately launch a counterattack in the frontcourt after winning the ball. Players such as Harvey, Iniesta and Messi belong to the The kind of strongman who can complete offensive and defensive transitions by himself after getting the ball.
In this case, playing against Barcelona, once the ball is intercepted by the opponent in the frontcourt, it is a fatal threat!
And once the frontcourt counterattack failed to pose a threat, Barcelona immediately passed back, stabilized the rhythm, entered the ball possession mode, and through patient and slow back and forth, pulled the defense line and exposed the opponent's flaws in the formation movement.
These two models, coupled with the outstanding personal abilities of Barcelona players, have created the Grand Slam dynasty of the dream team.
"Then...Old Bei, according to what you said, the stronger a team's ability to break dense defenses and the richer its means, the stronger it is in theory, is that true?"
Bielsa nodded,
"Yes, that's true in theory, but when it comes to the formation of a team, it is more complicated. For example, what we call the ability to break dense defenses must be integrated into the team's overall tactics and become a team player. part of the team's tactics, otherwise... Real Madrid is a lesson from the past!"
Yang Huan understood now.
As Bielsa said, it involves very, very complicated, even professional football knowledge. As a fan who can only be regarded as an experienced fan at best, don't expect to be able to figure it out at all.
I really figured it out, I'm afraid he can even coach a team by himself!
"According to what you said, wouldn't players with the ability to break dense defenses become more and more valuable?"
Bielsa nodded heavily again, "You are very correct!"
"According to what you said, the transition between offense and defense is mainly done in the midfield. Isn't the future development trend of midfielders to be omnipotent with both offense and defense?" Yang Huan thought more deeply.
Unexpectedly, Bielsa shook his head, "Yes, not right!"
"How to say?"
"Why does Yaya Toure have such a high tactical value that Manchester City can build a midfield around him? Because he alone can complete the entire process from defense to offensive and defensive conversion to offense!"
Yang Huan understood a little bit.
"Modric is the same, although he doesn't look as thick as Yaya Toure, but he also has the ability to complete the whole process by himself, and in our team, at present, we can do this. A little bit, James Rodriguez's defensive ability still needs to improve, and Isco's defense and his passing awareness also need to continue to improve."
"On the contrary, it is Pogba. I think he has great potential in this area. In fact, I have been strengthening Pogba's ability in this area in the past period of time. Not only him, but also Kobe. Vacic, if he grows up, he also has the ability to become a superstar player who can break through dense defensive weapons."
When Yang Huan heard this, he was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many treasures in the team.
He also secretly remembered in his heart that none of these players will be sold in the future, and they must stay in the team.
But soon, Yang Huan thought of another problem.
"What about Toni Kroos and Matic?"
"They are another type of midfielder. They may not be able to rely on their personal ability to complete the entire transition process from defense to offense with the ball, but they have excellent passing ability, especially Toni Kroos, He can do it by passing the ball, but it is faster and more efficient!"
"What about Vidal?" Yang Huan continued to ask with great interest.
"Vidal is a player with both offense and defense, but his upper limit is very clear. He can play a huge role on both ends of the offense and defense, but he can't complete the transition between offense and defense unless he can make up his mind to further refine his skills and improve his skills. My own style of play, but it is very difficult and not easy!"
From Bielsa's words, Yang Huan understood his impression of Vidal.
"Old Bei, hearing what you said, I was just thinking, I was just thinking!" Yang Huan first explained with a smile.
"If the entire midfield of our team gathers a group of players with the ability to complete offensive and defensive transitions and break through dense defenses alone, and integrate these players into a whole, wouldn't it be super strong?"
Bielsa couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, "It's not that simple, what about defense?"
Seeing Yang Huan stunned, Bielsa seemed a little complacent, and laughed.
To be honest, he admired the courage and imagination of Young Master Huan very much, but football is a profound knowledge, and not all problems can be solved by taking it for granted.
"Theoretically speaking, Iniesta is a perfect offensive and defensive transition player, with superb personal ability and excellent passing ability, but why is there Harvey? Why is there still Busquets? And , Why is there Messi in front?"
"Even if the eleven Iniestas are combined into a whole, they will not be able to win the championship!"
But who is Master Huan?
How could he be frightened by just one word?
Although he knew in his heart that what Bielsa said was very reasonable, but who stipulated that players with the ability to switch offense and defense and break dense defenses would not be willing to defend?
Just like Gareth Bale, who was born as a left-back and has plenty of physical fitness. After playing as a right-winger, he is also very active in defending Southampton's frontcourt!
In addition, as I have seen in the previous life, Di Maria of Real Madrid, after transforming into a midfielder, his defensive statistics are also very eye-catching, and he also has a strong ability to dribble the ball in the midfield. Such a player also meets Bielsa's requirements.
Oh, yes, and great last-pass players.
Speaking of which, the worst thing Southampton has done so far is undoubtedly the last pass.
The passing ability of Toni Kroos and Modric is indeed excellent, but when it comes to the last pass, needless to say, it is compared with a master player like Harvey, even if it is compared with David Silva, France Compared with Bregas and Ozil, the last pass masters are still inferior.
Of course, this also has a certain relationship with their relatively backward position.
If Iniesta can be brought over, then...
Oops, the picture is so beautiful, I can't bear to look directly at it!
But soon, Yang Huan thought of another, more daring possibility.
When he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help laughing, thinking it was quite nonsensical.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem, Master Huan?"
Seeing Yang Huan laughing, Bielsa wondered, what's so funny?
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Yang Huanxi laughed, still laughing.
After seeing Bielsa's puzzled expression, Yang Huan decided to confess and be lenient.
"I was thinking, what do you think if Messi is brought over?"
"Messi?" Bielsa was dumbfounded.
"How can this be?"
Yang Huan looked like I knew you would say that, shook his head helplessly and said, "I mean, what if!"
"Oh, if it's Messi coming, I'm afraid it's enough."
"How to say?" Yang Huan became interested.
"If Messi plays in the middle of the front court, Ibrahimovic must be won. Not to mention, his technical characteristics are in the Premier League. How much he can play is also a big question."
Yang Huan thinks it makes sense, the front and center of the Premier League is not so easy to deal with.
The central defenders of many Premier League teams are synonymous with brutality and brutality, and they won't show you the slightest bit of pity.
With Messi's small and fast style of play, if he comes to the Premier League, he will definitely have no problem adapting. After all, the team will build tactics around him, but how much he can play at the peak level is the question.
Besides, Barcelona is still unwilling to sell, and Messi may not be willing to leave!
"I think that if Messi comes to the team, he can only retreat and get closer to the midfield to play his advantage, but in this way, I am afraid that there will be no way to score as many goals as now."
Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
For superstar players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, transfers are very troublesome, and unless you are willing to build tactics around them, otherwise, it is difficult to succeed.
The most obvious is Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea, which is a lesson from the past!
There is no way, how can there be a good thing in this world that is perfect and all wishes come true?
If you really want to take advantage of everything, will others still survive?
Yang Huan sighed regretfully in his heart, and let go of his hope for Messi.
But Bielsa looked at Yang Huan seriously, and asked suspiciously: "Master Huan, you don't really intend to introduce Messi, do you?"
He has heard a lot of rumors about Messi wanting to transfer to Barcelona recently.
If you want to talk about Southampton now, if you really want to do it, it can be regarded as a strong competitor of Messi.
Moreover, considering from the standpoint of the club, the introduction of Messi is undoubtedly a powerful guarantee to secure the position of the giants as soon as possible!
However, on the tactical level, it's a bit troublesome!
"Me? Introduce Messi?" Yang Huan smiled wryly, "I would like to, but is it realistic?"
Bielsa also giggled. Fortunately, Master Huan was not dazed.
A superstar is a double-edged sword. With Ibrahimovic in Southampton, there is really no need to provoke Messi anymore!
Just when Yang Huan and Bielsa were thinking about something, Yang Huan's cell phone rang inappropriately.
I took it out of my pocket and looked, I wiped it, it turned out to be my senior sister Su Jingyan!
Sudden call, what's the matter?
Frankly speaking, Yang Huan was a little afraid of this tough senior, because he couldn't figure out what kind of relationship she had with the former Yang Huan.
But the phone is coming, you still have to answer it!
