Chapter 612 Controlling the Midfield

you are you!

I hope you work hard to improve yourself and find your playing style as soon as possible!

This is what coach Gao Han said to Bastian Schweinsteiger when he was confused and couldn't find his direction.

At that time, the German had just switched to the deep-lying midfield position. He felt very uncomfortable and his performance was somewhat unsatisfactory. He himself was also doubting whether he was qualified for this new role of deep-lying midfielder.

But after an in-depth conversation with Gao Han, he saw the direction clearly and regained his confidence.

With the accumulation of training and games in the past period, especially after winning the German Cup 9-0 in the last game, he gradually discovered that playing as a deep-lying midfielder was not as difficult as he had imagined before.

Around him, there is a group of teammates who are excellent in holding and playing the ball.

Hummels, this junior in the youth training camp, no one noticed it before. They even thought that he might not be able to gain a foothold in the first team and would be loaned out to other teams for training. But as a result, after Gao Han arrived, , but he became the most stable main player on the team's defense.

He has played as a defensive midfielder, and his ball-taking and passing abilities are quite good among central defenders, and he also has a long pass.

Needless to say, Lucio's personal ability is his usual characteristic, but he is a little reckless.

Ram is a trustworthy teammate. He will be around you at any time and is a stable connection point.

Marcelo on the left is a young player. Like all Brazilians, he doesn't like to defend and loves to attack, but his foot skills are not inferior to those of the wingers in the frontcourt.

But what Schweinsteiger admires most is the low-key midfield partner, Luka Modric.

how to say?

The Croatian is definitely the kind of player who makes people think that he will be the core of the midfielder at a glance. No matter what kind of complex situation he faces, no matter what kind of pressure the opponent faces, he always has a way to resolve it.

No matter how complicated the ball is, it often becomes simple when it comes out at his feet.

Because he gives you a clear direction of attack.

As for Van Bommel, although the Dutchman does not have a tacit understanding with the team in terms of passing and controlling, and makes a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving, the Dutch midfielder is reassuringly stable whether in offense or defense. He is like a central midfielder. A balancing pole in the field.

Surrounded by a group of outstanding teammates, and the players gradually becoming familiar with Gao Han's passing and movement, Schweinsteiger gradually became more comfortable in the entire tactical system.

Every time, no matter what area he is in, as long as he gets the ball, there will always be at least two or three contact points around him, and all he needs to do is to catch the ball steadily and then release the ball steadily.

He began to show his own characteristics and continued to expand his range of activities, which made him the player with the most passes and receptions for Bayern Munich in the past few games, and his pass success rate has always been very good.

He began to have a new understanding and appreciation of his new role.

He began to understand that helping the team transition the ball steadily was only his most basic requirement as a deep-lying midfielder, but the head coach's requirements for him were obviously more and they were constantly improving.

For example, Gao Han will ask him to think more, cooperate more with Modric, cooperate with each other, and control the midfield.

How to control it?

That is an almost metaphysical way of thinking.

To put it simply, be fast when you should be fast, and be slow when you should be slow. Always adjust the pace of the game to a state where you are most comfortable but your opponent is most uncomfortable.

The other thing is to distribute the ball reasonably, avoid the focus of the opponent's defense, find out the opponent's weaknesses, and attack them.

This seems complicated, but in fact, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

At the very least, Bastian Schweinsteiger feels that he has gradually touched the threshold.

But just that?

Just want to become a qualified, or an excellent deep-lying midfielder?

Bastian Schweinsteiger firmly believes that Gao Han's words "you are you" will definitely not be that simple.

He doesn't want to acknowledge anyone, he wants to be himself.

He wants to fulfill his duties as a qualified deep-lying midfielder while also taking advantage of his strengths as he pleases.

When the game reached the 18th minute, Robben dribbled the ball in from the right and passed the ball to Klose at the front of the penalty area. Rostock's deep-lying midfielder Beinlich had no choice but to foul and was shown by the referee. Yellow card warning.

This made Beinlich a little bit unable to let go.

Pagelsdorf also made immediate adjustments. The two midfielders who were defenders also moved their positions back to protect Bayernlich's wings. At the same time, they wanted to suppress the inward cutting of Bayern Munich's two wingers.

Both Robben and Ribery are among the top wingers in Europe. Their personal abilities are enough to give all defensive players a headache, and Rostock also has to fight with numbers.

In the 21st minute of the game, Marcelo advanced to attack from the left and cooperated with Ribery. Rostock's defensive attention was focused on this side, but a flaw was exposed in the front area of ​​​​the penalty area.

Schweinsteiger calculated the distance, estimated the time it would take him to get there, and whether he could retreat in time. All the trade-offs were brewing in his mind in an instant, and he was very sure.

Looking at his partner Modric not far away, the latter seemed to have noticed his imminent move and even took the initiative to run back.

clever!

Schweinsteiger almost laughed out loud in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and raised his right hand. He believed that Ribery could see it and would be able to bring the ball out.

It turns out that Ribery saw it and actually brought the ball out.

Once he dribbled the ball from the left and cut inward laterally. Ribery was double-teamed by two opposing players. Although he failed to break through, he passed the ball over. Schweinsteiger passed the ball forward without thinking. Stop, then catch up with him, and shoot directly with his right foot.

"Schweinsteiger..."

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Oh my god, the volley from the right side of the top of the penalty area, Schweinsteiger's sudden shot from behind, once again penetrated Wester's goal."

"This time, Bayern Munich's midfielder stepped in very suddenly, and the subsequent kick was also very powerful."

"Of course, Ribery's cutting inside is also quite threatening. Bayern Munich launched both attacks from the left."

"Two to zero, Bayern Munich is in a great situation now, Rostock is in danger!"

…………

Gao Han saw Schweinsteiger's sudden long-range shot and scored from the sidelines. He was surprised and laughed loudly. He clapped vigorously with both hands to applaud Schweinsteiger's wonderful goal. .

"Let me tell you, this kid is becoming more and more like a deep-lying midfielder now."

"Who says not?" Thomas Tuchel also laughed.

Bastian Schweinsteiger's performance is better than the last, and he is improving in almost every game. More importantly, Bayern Munich's midfield operation is becoming more and more smooth.

"Did you see that just now? Before Schweinsteiger stepped forward, he made eye contact with Modric, and the Croatian took the initiative to retreat. This is a tacit understanding." Gao Han smiled from ear to ear.

Seeing the two midfielders he trusts able to quickly establish a tacit understanding makes him happier than scoring goals.

"Yes, and Van Bommel, after seeing Bastian Schweinsteiger going forward, the first thing he thought of was to return to defense. His performance was also quite stable, which is very reassuring." Tuchel praised.

Gao Han nodded. Although Van Bommel did not quite meet his requirements, his performance was indeed outstanding, which even made it difficult for him to make up his mind to take him down and replace him with Vidal.

The main reason lies in Van Bommel's wisdom.

Vidal's advantage is that he can continuously create pressure on his opponents. He is like a desperate Saburo. He is not tall, very flexible, and has solid foot skills, which is very suitable for Gao Han's requirements.

But when it comes to the wisdom of assessing the situation during the game, Vidal is still new.

"The attack on the left is very open, but Marcelo's defense still needs to be strengthened." Gao Han reminded.

Cantarero on the side immediately nodded in agreement.

"However, this kid's physical fitness is really good. He kept going straight up and down, but he didn't seem to have any reaction." Gao Han was a little surprised by this, because full-backs have always consumed a lot of physical energy, especially this kind of 4-3-3 full-back.

Marcelo doesn't seem to have much physical fitness, but his physical fitness is surprising.

Could it be said that he was trained by Capello?

…………

…………

As Bayern Munich scored two goals in a row, the game basically went to the home team, and Rostock could only fight.

But the Bundesliga giants were not in a hurry. With two goals in hand, they played more patiently.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Bayern Munich still focused on the pass-and-control style of high-position pressing and oppression. They were not in a hurry to attack, but patiently stretched the opponent's defensive position through pass-and-control and further harmonized the team.

Fighting to support war is also Gao Han's strategy.

Rostock could barely cope at the beginning, but as the game progressed, their physical energy consumption increased and they gradually couldn't keep up with Bayern Munich's rhythm, and problems began to appear continuously.

In the 66th minute of the game, Lahm and Robben cooperated on the right. Robben made a wonderful pass and Lahm broke into the penalty area and volleyed, but was saved by goalkeeper Wester. Klose missed the shot in the penalty area and hit the target. , three to zero!

Just five minutes later, Ribery cut in from the left rib again, attracting the attention of the defense and then suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the right. Robben stepped in and hit the target with his left foot from six meters in front of the goal, 4-0!

With four goals in hand, Bayern Munich is still a sure winner, and Gao Han has also begun to make substitutions.

In the stands, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge, Hoeness and other Bayern Munich senior management and board members were as enthused as the more than 60,000 fans present.

In the previous 9-0 victory in the German Cup, it could be said that the opponent was not strong enough, but this time the opponent was a Bundesliga team, but Bayern Munich completely controlled the situation, leading by four goals, and played hearty offensive football.

"Gao Han is really admirable." Beckenbauer praised with a smile.

Everyone else also agreed, with expressions of sincerity on their faces.

"Yeah, how could we have thought before that Bastian Schweinsteiger, who plays as a defensive midfielder, can actually play like this? It's as if he was born to play this position." Hoeness also had to admit. I made a mistake.

There was nothing amazing about Bastian Schweinsteiger before, but in these two games, he was very comfortable in the defensive midfielder position, and he performed very like a general, especially the goal just now, when he penetrated forward to seize the opportunity. That's great.

"And that Modric, it's just a treasure, it only cost us 10 million." Rummenigge said this, smiling so much that his mouth was almost crooked.

As long as he continues this form, it will not be difficult for Modric's value to skyrocket several times.

"Look at Hummels. He was unable to establish himself in the first team last season, but now he has pushed both Van Buyten and Demichelis to the bench."

"And the two wingers in the frontcourt..."

Everyone was talking to each other.

Suddenly, they all discovered that what Gao Han brought to them and Bayern Munich was not just a few victories, but also a group of players full of surprises and beautiful offensive football.
