Football Giants - Chapter 1073
Sun Tzu’s art of war is clear, knowing oneself and the enemy, a hundred battles never end.
This sentence is also applicable in professional football, which is known as a war without gunsmoke.
Before each game, the head coach will fully understand and study the enemy and us, and then find out the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, guard against the strengths, and take advantage of the weaknesses.
Therefore, to a certain extent, before a professional football game, the head coach has already been psychologically prepared for the result of the game, and even for some experienced celebrities, when the schedule comes out, They already have a detailed overall plan for the trend throughout the season.
Which games should try their best to compete for three points, which games get a point even if they are qualified, which games lose is acceptable, these are all in the coach’s season planning.
But the problem is that the season is so long, players will inevitably suffer injuries, there will be ups and downs in the state, the team may have special circumstances of this kind, these will affect the team’s combat effectiveness, and then cause the team to make mistakes.
This involves the problem of fault tolerance.
Generally speaking, the stronger the overall strength of the team and the more stable the tactical system, the higher the fault tolerance rate.
Just like Guardiola, regardless of his record at Bayern Munich is not very satisfactory, but if you carefully study his coaching results, it is not difficult to find that his coaching results for Bayern are very stable, and the games that should be won are basically won. Down.
In other words, Guardiola’s coaching characteristic is a high fault tolerance rate.
On the other hand, Pellegrini’s Manchester City has a very low fault tolerance rate. It frequently loses points in some games that should have been won, or even easily won. This is indeed quite inappropriate, and it has also led to the poor performance of Manchester City this season. s reason.
Of course, no matter which head coach is, it is impossible to be foolproof, and there will always be times when he misses.
The more in that kind of strong dialogue game, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the easier it is to lose.
This is why the Champions League knockout matchup is so fascinating!
After Inter Milan defeated Juventus 3-0 in the away game and won the new Serie A league title two rounds ahead of schedule, all the Nerazzurri fans called on the team to make persistent efforts and best to beat the South Ampton.
But hope belongs to hope, and reality is always cruel.
As Klopp had expected before the game, Ancelotti continued to arrange for the bench to play in the FA Cup semi-final, just to play the main force in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Although Inter Milan just had a deadly fight with Juventus, they still did their best in the middle of the week.
The difference is that although Ancelotti is playing away, he focuses on offense. Although Inter Milan is playing at home, Klopp’s tactics are still mainly to contain the Saints’ offense.
It is known throughout Europe that no team can beat the Saints in a matchup.
Inter Milan itself is at a certain disadvantage. If it really fights against the Saints, isn’t it lighted up in the toilet and killed?
The Nerazzurri had also made sufficient preparations for the game. Klopp’s team performed quite well in defensive and oppression, especially when Klopp was best at horizontal cutting, which frequently cut off the Saints’ The pass advances the line.
This also made it difficult for the Saints to create a threatening offense throughout the game.
Seventy minutes have passed unconsciously, but neither side has made substitution adjustments. The intentions of the head coaches of both sides are already obvious, that is…
…………
…………
“They are all betting!”
Messi raised his head, looked at the dazzling lights above Milan’s Glory Stadium, squinted, and this thought flashed in his mind.
The strength against both sides is very good, Ancelotti chose to attack, Klopp chose to defend, the tactics of both sides are also very targeted, the players did not make a big mistake in execution.
This is why the game is still zero to zero.
As for why it hasn’t changed, it’s not difficult to understand.
Inter Milan dare not change.
Because Klopp knows very well that this is the strongest lineup he can currently rank, and he finally found the rhythm to defend the Southampton offensive. If he chooses to substitute, he may disrupt this rhythm. It fell short.
As for Southampton, it is also not difficult to understand.
Ancelotti said before the game, an away tie is acceptable, and the home game will do its best to win.
But he also said that Inter Milan just died at Juventus three days ago. It consumes a lot of physical energy. Coupled with Klopp’s tactical characteristics, the physical requirements are very high, so the team will concentrate in the last ten minutes. work hard.
He should have planned a substitution now!
Messi turned his head and glanced at Ancelotti who was standing on the sidelines.
Sure enough, the Italian fat guy was talking to his assistant coach, and the teammates on the bench behind him started to jump around.
These are all signals to change people!
However, Messi does not intend to wait for the head coach to change.
He hopes to work harder.
“Daniello!” Messi made a gesture towards his teammate Danilo on the right.
Although the two have only cooperated for one season in Southampton, because Messi had a tacit understanding with Alves in Barcelona, the tacit understanding with Danilo was also established quickly in Southampton.
With a gesture from the Argentine, Danilo knew Messi’s intentions.
Southampton quickly launched an attack on the left. Hazard and David Alaba took the ball on the left and attracted the attention of Inter Milan’s defense.
As the Saints’ players have excellent personal abilities, especially Hazard and David Alaba, who are both top players in their positions, Inter Milan’s defensive players also attach great importance to them and put heavy troops on the left side.
Not to mention, Inter Milan’s defense is really tenacious. Even with almost the same physical energy consumption, they still successfully blocked the Saint’s left offensive, and through the team’s defense, the Saints had to pass the ball. Go back to the defense line.
Said to be the defensive line, but in fact, Varane and Laporte have already pressed to the center line.
As soon as Laporte received the ball, he immediately passed it to Varane.
Varane received the ball from the front, stopped and looked up, and saw Messi running back, Danilo pressing forward against the right.
After working with each other for a season, Varane naturally knew the intentions of Messi and Danilo and passed the ball directly to Messi.
The Argentine’s withdrawal created a lot of trouble for Inter Milan’s defense.
To follow, or not to follow, this is a problem!
But this time, the timing was not good. As soon as Messi took the ball, Pjanic came over, which caused Messi to be directly entangled by Pjanic after receiving the ball.
But Messi is Messi in the end, even if he was entangled by Pjanic, he quickly used his personal ability to create a gap, directly thrown off Pjanic, and passed the ball to the penalty area.
But because of being entangled by Pjanic, the timing was missed, and both DeVry and Juan Xiao returned to their positions in time.
When Messi’s pass came to the front of the penalty area, DeVry made a sudden rush, before Suarez, and directly kicked the ball to clear it.
Inter Milan once again resolved the crisis!
Messi couldn’t help feeling a little bit sad when he saw that the first cooperation didn’t work, but the look in Danilo’s eyes revealed a sense of determination.
Dude, look for a chance, let’s come again!
okay!
The two of them crossed their eyes and returned to their positions.
With the cooperation just now, the Southampton players also clearly understood Messi’s ideas, and they all began to actively cooperate with Messi.
This is not because Messi has any special treatment in the team, but because this kind of offensive routine that suddenly hits from here to the other is what Southampton is good at.
Choosing to support Messi now is just taking advantage of the situation.
The coach Ancelotti on the sidelines also realized that this might be an opportunity, so the original idea of a substitution was decided to temporarily press, let’s take a look first.
As a result, the team had this idea, and when they held the ball again, they still attacked from the left.
When Hazard, David Alaba and Di Maria took the ball on the left, they were not only trying to break Inter Milan’s defense, but also attracting Inter Milan’s defensive attention, so the offensive investment was more intense. .
Inter Milan also felt the offensive pressure from the left of the Saints and began to adjust the defensive focus to its own right.
Damian, Khedira, and even Aubameyang in the frontcourt actively retreated.
The Nerazzurri’s defense is not a fuel-efficient light. With the concerted efforts of the players, the Saints’ left offensive was once again contained.
David Alaba saw no chance, and once again passed the ball back to Tony Cross.
Before catching the ball, the German defensive midfielder glanced from the corner of his eye, Messi retreated again and Danilo went up.
More importantly, when Messi retreated, Alex Sandro did not follow.
Thinking of this, Tony Cross quickly passed the ball.
The ball quickly came to Messi’s feet. Tony Cross made a wonderful pass. Messi stopped and turned around. The whole process was very comfortable and smooth.
Because Messi knew that he had no opponents around when he received the pass of Tony Cross.
And Messi turned around, immediately started, dribbling forward.
At this time, Alex Sandro realized the problem and immediately wanted to rush towards Messi, and Pjanic also abandoned Pogba for the first time and rushed towards Messi.
When Messi was dribbling the ball at high speed, he still watched and listened to all directions. When the opponent moved, he immediately followed and passed the ball directly behind Ales Sandro.
Danilo was like a dormant cheetah on the right, when he saw Messi pass the ball, it was like a sharp arrow from the string, sprinting out.
In the restricted area of Inter Milan, Suarez also ran forward tacitly, ready to meet Danilo at any time.
Both DeVry and Little Juan were like enemies, following Suarez every step of the way.
Everyone knows that if the Uruguayan gets the ball in the penalty area, it would be dangerous.
But what no one thought was that Danilo temporarily changed his attention, because he saw that Suarez was under the focus of his opponent and it was difficult to receive the ball. At the same time, he also saw that Pogba was moving at the front of the penalty area. The hand wants the ball.
In this position, in this area, the French midfielder is a perfect match.
So ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Danilo quickly crossed the ball.
The ball is almost along the white line at the front of the penalty area, passing from right to middle.
Messi was sprinting, but did not intercept the pass halfway, so the ball smoothly came to the top of the arc.
Pogba faced the ball, stopped, and accurately heard the direction and location of the ball he wanted it to go, then he swiped his right foot and volleyed directly against the ball.
A bang was heard at the scene, and the ball was just like a cannonball that came out of the barrel. It took the left side of the goal with lightning speed.
In the penalty area, DeVry made a flying shovel and wanted to block the shot. Goalkeeper Handanovic fought hard to save the ball, even right back Damian. In front of the door desperately…
However, all of this is too late!
