204 He Is Like Cruyff

The day after the 2-1 reversal of Juventus, Naples held a special analysis and summary meeting after completing the recovery training in the morning, mainly discussing the gains and losses of the game against Juventus.

The outside world's evaluation of this game is mixed.

Most people think that Naples and Juventus each played a good half, and some media think that Naples obviously has some problems, mainly on the defensive level.

The right flank is a problem, neither Gergi Garrick nor Grava has performed well enough in this position.

Juventus played on this side last time, but it didn't work. Piero played a role this time.

This also made many people suggest that Naples should introduce a high-level right back as soon as possible.

It's easy to say, but how can it be so easy?

Now that Naples is in Serie B, it is really hard to find a high-level right back. .

In particular, the issue of transfer fees must be considered.

With the current situation in Naples, Gao Shen is still a little bit overwhelmed by spending millions of euros to buy a right back.

Sacchi pointed out Naples' problems in the first half in his column, and at the same time vaguely reminded Gao Shen that Naples' biggest enemy is still itself.

Saki, who has been coaching for many years, can also see clearly that Gao Shen's formation in the first half was obviously understated.

Saki also mentioned another issue, which is the positioning of the double midfielders.

This is another long old question.

Piero's goal was of course a defensive error on the right, but Rakitic did not come back in time, which is also a problem.

Neither Naples' double defensive midfielder is a traditional midfield defensive player.

Biglia used to play as an organizational midfielder, and Rakitic played as an attacking midfielder. Neither of these two players is strictly a defensive midfielder. They were forced to be placed by Gao Shen after they came to Naples.

In many cases, they are very good, but they will also expose problems.

For example, this time against Juventus, the double defensive midfielder did not return to the defense in time.

Of course, there is another problem here.

Naples took a high position to press and press,

From Pellet at the front to Bonucci at the back, the distance is always controlled at about 25 meters, no more than 30 meters at most.

According to the latest offside rules, Naples must effectively control the area of ​​​​about 60 meters in the game, the players must run more, and the area where the double midfielders are located is larger.

Although this provides a living space for the technical midfielder, it also puts pressure on the defense.

Not to mention that Rakitic has a long shot. Gao Shen allows him to seize the right time and swing up. His running range will be larger, which places higher demands on him.

When are you going up? When are you coming back? When and where?

Whether it is Bigglia or Rakitic, the requirements for these things are too high, especially if they have to master them in just a few months, isn't this difficult?

Vidal was born as a central defender, and he hasn't adapted to playing the midfielder and midfielder yet. Can Biglia and Rakitic be asked to adapt?

A sense of position, a sense of position, is to be in the right place at the right time and do the right thing.

It's easy to say, but hard to do.

Especially on the pitch, there is no perspective like that of a live TV camera, let alone the perspective of God in a football manager game. Everyone can easily lose their position on the pitch.

Naples is actually pretty good.

Since Gao Shen coached, he has been insisting on using Sacchi's shadow training method to train players and maintain the integrity of the team.

But many things also need time to accumulate and settle slowly, and cannot be accomplished overnight.

...

At the summary analysis meeting, Gao Shen once again took all the responsibilities, and he admitted that he made a mistake in the game.

But he didn't dwell too much on these mistakes.

It's like Ramos, David Luiz and others don't dwell too much on their mistakes.

Humans just want to look forward, get entangled when they make mistakes, or even give up eating because of choking. How can this be successful?

Gao Shen also asked the coaching staff to formulate a targeted training plan for the problems that occurred during the game.

For example the defense on the right.

This is actually a typical routine of the offensive side cutting in from the left and hitting the goal. It is not unusual to say that, as long as the midfielder returns to the front of the penalty area in time to block the in-cut line, there will be no major problems.

But Gao Shen still asked the coaching staff to arrange a targeted training, focusing on practicing the defensive coordination of defending the opponent from the left on the right, especially the positions of Rakitic and Biglia.

In addition, Gao Shen also mentioned one point, that is oppression.

Many fans will misunderstand that oppression is oppression, isn't it just running and occupying space?

No, there are actually many types of oppression.

Or it should be said that different tactical purposes require different methods of oppression.

You know, pressing is not just about grabbing the ball.

Of course, there is a kind of oppression to grab the ball. For example, when Gao Shen asked Naples, he tried his best to grab the ball within five seconds after losing the ball.

Is it very familiar?

Yes, this was Guardiola's request to the Barcelona dream team, but in fact, Guardiola learned from Van Gaal's Ajax.

Do your best to grab the ball within five seconds, which requires comprehensive pressure, and everyone in the team must move accordingly; some pressure is to move the formation, for example, if the opponent transfers the ball, the formation must also move accordingly, which requires proper pressure on the opponent, Create time and space for yourself to move formations.

There are also oppressions to delay the opponent's attack, position the team, organize a defensive formation to buy time, and some oppressions are for rest. These only require players in local areas to implement oppression.

That's right, players also need to take a breather on the court. This is not fishing, but a must.

No one can maintain a fast-paced game for 90 minutes, so after each wave of fast breaks, it is often necessary to slow down. If the opponent wants to take advantage of this opportunity to attack, they need to be properly oppressed and let them retreat.

Besides that, there are many other purposes.

The Naples players haven't fully mastered this, or they can't skillfully switch between different oppression modes according to different timings in the game to achieve tactical goals.

This is also a problem that has existed since the formation of the team. Gao Shen emphasized it again, because he found that many times players would involuntarily chase the ball to grab and press, which is wrong.

"You must understand that the current football tactics require more thinking, but this kind of thinking is different from that of Riquelme, Zidane and others. On the contrary, the current football tactics will not give Time for them to think."

These two are artists because they are good at thinking on the court, but thinking takes time, so they are slow.

And the current tactics will not give them time to think at all.

"In today's football, it's not that you run, you work hard, you work hard, you can play well, you need more observation, whether you are in the game or training, you must clearly know yourself all the time. Being where you are, knowing your teammates around you, knowing who you're facing, knowing where the football is."

"Our oppression has never been aimed at stealing the ball, or that stealing the ball is not our main purpose. We want to put pressure on the opponent, create influence, and destroy their self-confidence."

"When we play the rhythm and routines we are used to, we will become more and more confident, and we can even beat Juventus 5-0; conversely, if the opponent kicks their rhythm and routines, They are the ones who are confident, and we will become weaker and smaller."

"So our oppression is to destroy the opponent's rhythm and routine, kick out our own rhythm and routine, make ourselves more confident, the more we play, the more confident we are, and the more vulnerable our opponent is, the weaker we kick. "

"This is the purpose of our oppression!"

Grabbing the ball is only part of the purpose.

Gao Shen has repeatedly appealed, hoping that the players will think more and observe more, so as to better understand his tactical thinking and purpose.

Only when they figure it out, they will know how to implement it.

The court is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for Gao Shen to tell them every situation and every response method.

This requires them to be flexible and play on the spot.

This is what Valdano said, the head of the head coach is not as good as the heads of eleven people on the field.

...

Guardiola sat in the corner of the conference room.

At first, he took notes without listening, but later, he completely forgot to take notes, and was completely attracted by Gao Shen's words.

There are some things he can understand and understand, even he has seen and heard them before, but there are some things he can't understand, and this is the first time he hears them, and he feels very novel.

When I first heard it, I didn't even dare to believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, I found it very reasonable.

When he was in La Liga before, many people said that Gao Shen learned from Benitez. Gao Shen himself admitted this, but Guardiola found that this is nonsense.

Even if you learned from Benitez, it is still a skill to learn, and the profound Tao has never been completely different from Benitez.

Benitez said the most famous sentence: Give him eleven robots and he will be invincible.

What do you mean?

That is, players don’t need to have their own thoughts on the field at all. You just play according to Benitez’s thoughts and you’re done.

And what about profundity?

He is constantly inspiring players to think, and he is encouraging players to have their own independent thinking ability.

This reminds Guardiola of Cruyff.

When Cruyff coached Barcelona back then, he also liked to inspire players to think.

Not only must players know how to play football, but also why they should play like this.

It's a difficult, but great path.

Guardiola and many players of Barcelona's dream team have embarked on the coaching path, all of which were inspired by Cruyff back then.

Not only Cruyff, but also Sacchi, many great managers.

Guardiola was even thinking, is Gao Shen really only twenty-six years old?

Or, is he really a genius coach as the outside world says?
