Super Marshal

After Gao Han's special speech, other famous European marshals who were invited to participate also expressed their opinions and spoke freely.

Everyone knows that in the field of football tactics, there is no absolute strength or absolute weakness. Being complacent will only block you from the mainstream. Only through communication can you update your tactical concepts at all times.

Even Chelsea head coach Rijkaard, who has little to do with Gao Han, talked about his understanding of the Dutch concept of total offense and total defense football in his speech, as well as his analysis of the current mainstream trends.

"As a Dutch head coach, I have a paranoia about the three-back tactic. I like this formation very much. When I was in Barcelona, ​​I also tried a three-four-three style of play, but the effect was not ideal."

"However, I think that the three-four-three formation has almost all the advantages of all current formations. It has both length and width, and it allocates the team's resources to every corner of the stadium in the most effective way. This is A very beautiful tactical formation, but so far I have never been able to understand it."

There is no doubt that as a former world-class superstar, Rijkaard also has his own set of ideas about football tactics.

The three-four-three formation was once popular. The Netherlands were all-attacking and all-defending. Cruyff's dream team all used this formation, with different effects, but undoubtedly achieved remarkable results.

Of course, in the eyes of many fans, this style of play has a natural flaw, which is wing defense. But in the eyes of the head coach, this is not a problem, because all tactical formations have flaws and weaknesses. .

There are no perfect tactics in this world.

Therefore, what the head coach has to do is to make choices and trade-offs.

Guardiola also strongly agrees with Rijkaard's point of view. As the main midfielder in Cruyff's dream team, Guardiola also expressed his love for the three-four-three formation, but he mentioned that in the three-four-three formation, In the four-three formation, the most important player is not the midfielder who is holding back, but the other midfielders.

"In our three-four-three formation at the time, there were two players in the team's midfield and backfield who could not move. One was the central defender, and the other was the deep-lying No. 4. These two positions are critical."

“When defending, the two center backs often pull to both sides and take on the defensive tasks of the full backs. But when the team has the advantage, they will also move forward along the wings to participate in the attack. Playing as a wide midfielder or even as a winger.”

After hearing this, PSV head coach Ronald Koeman immediately nodded, "Yes, Ferrer and I were the two full-backs, and Nadal was in the middle."

"That's right." Guardiola nodded to his former teammates. "I think at that time, our main style of play was to rotate in the frontcourt, with the central forward pulling wide or retreating, and the midfielder position making full use of the forward's pull. , attacking the opponent's loopholes, and at this time, Michel Laudrup will move forward and act as the core of the team's frontcourt offense, passing the ball and assisting at the front of the penalty area."

"Especially Michel, his position is very flexible and he plays the most important role in the team."

As soon as Guardiola finished speaking, Ancelotti immediately took over.

"The Dream Team's offensive firepower is indeed very strong, but while maintaining strong firepower, the weakness of the defense will be more obvious. Therefore, in that Champions League final, Capello made targeted arrangements on the defensive end, freezing The offensive firepower of Barcelona makes it difficult for the latter to create threatening attacks, but at the same time, it also seizes the loopholes in Barcelona's defense to attack."

Ancelotti didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what was going on.

In that year's Champions League final, Capello's AC Milan defeated Barcelona with four goals. It was the worst defeat in the history of the Champions League and completely ended Cruyff's dream team.

"Yes, that's right. This is the fragility of three-four-three. The offense is very fierce, but once faced with the opponent's intensive defense, it is difficult to find an effective way to break it. On the contrary, it will expose the weaknesses and shortcomings of one's own defense. ." Guardiola also said with regret.

This made Gao Han involuntarily think of Spain during the Camacho period that Aragones had mentioned to him. It was the most gorgeous and entertaining period in the history of the Spanish national team, and faced some overall defense. When the team is not very strong, it is almost unstoppable and wins all the way.

However, when Camacho's Spain met its nemesis Italy, the matador was almost helpless, and ended in a disastrous defeat. Camacho's reform in Spain also came to a complete end.

Offense and defense are like two sides of the same coin, indistinguishable from each other.

Offense is the best defense, but that is based on the premise that your offense can completely destroy your opponent. If your defense can also completely freeze your opponent's offense, then your counterattack will inevitably make your opponent unstoppable.

Cruyff's dream team was in the early 1990s. The overall defensive strength at that time was not great, but it is different now. Especially in the new century, the defensive level of Europe's top leagues is higher than it was back then. How many.

The problems faced by the Dream Team at that time will definitely be magnified several times, or even dozens of times, now.

This is why no one dares to try the three-four-three formation easily.

Gao Han listened carefully to the speeches and discussions of many famous coaches. They have been able to reach this day. Everyone has their own profound understanding of football. If you look at it purely from the football level, even if you compete here for ten days and a half, , it would be difficult for them to tell the winner.

But on the football field, the teams they coach may not be able to play the football concepts they have in mind.

It is also because of this that there is so-called victory and defeat, so-called success and failure.

But this has little to do with the head coach's football level.

Three people go together there must be my teacher.

Gaohan benefited a lot.

…………

After a day of heated discussions, the European Head Coaches Summit finally came to an end.

After the meeting, the head coaches are free to be interviewed by the media of their choice.

Almost everyone spoke highly of Gao Han's special speech and said that the summit was very successful.

Chelsea head coach Rijkaard said in an interview with the British media, "When I coached at Barcelona, ​​I knew how good Gao Han was, but today's exchange made me clearly realize that he can achieve what he has achieved today. Today’s results are not surprising at all.”

AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti said, "Gao Han has promoted the development of football. He has fulfilled the wishes of many teams and many head coaches. He has proved that you can win games by attacking and attacking again. He has made People saw how beautiful football tactics can be."

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger believes that the most rare thing about Gao Han is not the results he has achieved, but that he is still working hard to improve his professional level after achieving so many achievements.

"He made it impossible for me to admit that I was old."

Ferguson also praised Gao Han, "Gao Han and his team's desire for victory has reached an incredible level. It is always a very pleasant experience to communicate with him."

As the protagonist of this summit, Gao Han said in an official interview with UEFA that he learned a lot from the summit. He believed that holding such a summit was very meaningful, and he also hoped to participate frequently in the future.

"Perhaps I have won from them on the court, but when communicating here, I found that there are still many things worth learning from them, and from them, I can also see myself It leaves a lot to be desired.”

The words of Gao Han and many famous coaches also appeared on the pages of major media around the world the next day.

The European Head Coaches Summit was not paid much attention in the past, but this year it has attracted the attention of all fans. Gao Han can be said to have contributed a lot, and major media in the world have also given the summit a very high evaluation.

It is undeniable that the technical and tactical level of the UEFA Champions League has far surpassed that of the national team. Although the European Head Coach Summit is just a gathering between club head coaches, its level and grade are ranked first in the world.

Gao Han was able to deliver his special speech on such a platform and was unanimously recognized by many famous coaches. This undoubtedly confirmed to everyone Gao Han's coaching level and his status as the top coach in Europe and even the world.

For a time, major media around the world started to hype it up. Especially in China, the media and fans were even more excited.

They developed surprisingly. Now that Chinese football is in the slump, Gao Han has brought them too many surprises and pride. He is not only the first person in Asia to win the Champions League, but also the first to participate in a European championship. Coaches Summit, and head coaches delivering keynote speeches at the Summit.

What's even more valuable is that his professional skills have been recognized by many famous coaches.

And when UEFA announced Gao Han's special speech and the lively discussions among many famous coaches on its official website, everyone was once again shocked by the content.

Many people are even surprised to find that tactics are not as simple as arranging positions for players and studying coordination routines. It turns out that football tactics are so profound and fascinating.

Crazy Bielsa said that he once watched hundreds of games in one go, just to absorb nutrients. Benitez said that he could watch game videos day after day, year after year, just to study his opponents...

It turns out that all of this is true.

From a football match, what fans see is the victory or defeat, the three points, or the process of the game, but in the eyes of famous coaches, what they see is the reflection behind all the appearances. Come out with the core concept.

Regarding the speeches and discussions in the video, many media and fans expressed their incomprehension, but they all admitted that the role of the head coach in a team is indeed very critical, which also invisibly enhances the status of the head coach. and authority.

However, Gao Han did not change his schedule because of the attention from outside media and fans.

After attending the European Head Coaches Summit, Gao Han went to Madrid, Spain for vacation.

After resting for two or three days, he returned to Munich.

Although Bayern Munich has many international players, there are also some players who have not been able to participate in the national team. They cannot take a vacation within two weeks, so Gao Han and the coaching staff need to return to the team to host daily training.

Moreover, although Bayern Munich has won all the way in the previous rounds of the league, the team has also exposed many problems. Gao Han and the coaching staff need to come up with solutions as soon as possible to avoid being exploited by opponents in the future. .

Among the many team problems, left back Marcelo is the most obvious and fatal weakness.

Although the Brazilian is very sharp offensively, even as good as the first-class wingers, his defense is a constant problem.

This has been very obvious since his time at Real Madrid.
