If someone has read Yang Cheng's book, which is regarded as the Bible by countless professionals around the world, and is regarded as a tactical book [Flowing Football Field] for teaching textbooks by countless football professionals, then they will definitely find that in this book, the word that Yang Cheng uses most frequently to describe tactics is relative!

That's right, many people think that tactics are high and low, strong and weak, but in fact, these high and low strengths and weaknesses are relative, not absolutely. In other words, the so-called high and strong are all targeted at specific low and weak. If you change a comparison object, maybe the high and strong in the eyes of fans will become low and weak.

There is no airtight wall in this world, and there is naturally no perfect tactic of victory forever.

Even if it is as powerful as Real Madrid, which is praised by countless fans as a perfect tactic and lineup, but Manchester United, who still lost to Ferguson in the Champions League final, does that mean that Real Madrid made a big mistake in the final and is not perfect at all? Or is Manchester United's tactics better than Real Madrid? More powerful?

Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that the football field is the fairest arena in the world, because at the level of a head coach, in terms of tactical fields, what he sees is always trade-offs and balance.

What you want to get, you must give up. It is impossible for you to want to get an invincible attack while also having an unbreakable defense, because when you attack, you have already exposed the loopholes in defense. How can you take into account both?

A truly outstanding head coach. When considering tactics, all he wants to do is always trade-offs and balance.

I want to attack, but how to ensure the firmness of my defense to the greatest extent while attacking, how should I choose between the two, and how to grasp the scale? This requires the head coach to master it himself!

It's like in this game, Brazil played against Germany, and Scolari set up a lineup with two parallel lines.

In other words, the Brazilian team's midfield and defense line are in parallel positions. The purpose of doing this can maximize the guarantee that the Brazilian team can effectively cut the German team's midfield and backfield and midfield, that is, they can control the area and space more effectively.

The parallel positions of the two lines can ensure cooperation with each other to the maximum extent, and support the left and right sides is greater. It is the least easy of all formations, and it can even be said to be the least likely to be cut by the opponent. The balance tactic that leads to disconnection.

Of course, it is not that such tactics have no disadvantages at all. Because of parallel positions, the offensive team often only needs to focus on a certain point and make key breakthroughs, and can often break through one point and then collapse the opponent's entire defense line. This is the disadvantage of parallel positions.

Scolari's abacus was very good. The German team currently does not have a one-on-one breakthrough player with strong personal abilities, so he dared to put the two lines into parallel positions with confidence, and then gave the German team the strongest pressure.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. If the German team has a way to break through their midfield defense and suppression, it can directly threaten their defense, and even break through their defense again, forming a threatening shot.

In this case, the German team will be stunned when continuing to compete with the Brazilian team in the overall situation. Therefore, when Yang Cheng was setting up team tactics during the halftime break, he required all players to concentrate the strength of the entire team, focus on breaking through a certain point of the opponent, and use point breakthroughs to disrupt the defensive suppression of the Brazilian team.

But the specific effect still depends on the process and progress of the game... At the beginning of the second half, the German team obviously wanted to strengthen a round of offense, while the Brazilian team began to respond to changes in a constant manner, hoping to continue to maintain the trend of the first half, patiently drag the game down, and then wait until the German team loses confidence and fighting spirit, and then make a final effort.

On the left side of the German team, Ram also began to push forward more actively than before and participate in the offense. Jerom Boateng consciously retreated into the penalty area after Ram stepped forward to ensure stability on the defense line.

With the Brazilian team's personal ability, if this team seizes the opportunity to fight back, it will be a big threat to the German team's defense line. Under the current circumstances, any attack by the German team must be carried out while ensuring its defense line is relatively stable and safe. Otherwise, if the Brazilian team scores a goal, the German team will be really finished.

Sven Bend is more about returning to the front of the defense line and forming a protection area to ensure the safety of the defense line. Ram's front pressure also pulled the Brazilian team's defense to the left side of the midfield. Schweinsteiger and Ozil also consciously carried out key attacks and drilling tactics to this side.

When the game reached the 49th minute, the German team got a chance.

Ozil got the chance to get the ball around the two central defenders of Brazil, but he was immediately intercepted by two central defenders of Brazil, and they pinched Ozil from left to right.

Since Ozil retreated to get the ball, he did not turn around, and directly took the ball to face his own goal with his back to Brazil's goal, so after he got the ball blocked, he neither chose to get rid of it nor turned around, but continued to dribble the ball to his own half, as if he wanted to leave the opponent's defensive area.

Ozil's ability to take the ball and pass the ball has long been feared by Scolari, so he ordered the players to block Ozil, so the defending players followed immediately, but just when they were preventing Ozil from turning around and creating a threat at any time and anywhere, they saw Schweinsteiger sprinting forward quickly from Ramirez, who was on the left side of the midfield.

When Ramirez realized that Ozil would pass the ball to Schweinsteiger, the ball had already reached the front of Schweinsteiger's sprint. After the piglet rushed forward quickly, he kicked the ball out with one kick and then accelerated to catch up.

After playing for the front midfielder and the wing forward, Schweiingsteiger's dribbling skills were not bad. He successfully crossed the Brazilian midfielder and quickly advanced to the opponent's defense line.

Thiago Silva was very fast and blocked Schweinsteiger's route forward as soon as possible. The Brazilian central defender was not tall, but was very decisive and flexible, and had a very accurate positioning. He just blocked Schweinsteiger's step point, and his body touched him. His lower foot was clean and neat, and he directly cut the ball away.

The excellent positioning and defensive awareness of Brazil's central defender immediately won the cheers of all Brazilian fans in the stands. This central defender has become the decisive needle on Brazil's defense line today. Just for this decisive rush and position, Thiago Silva will live up to the name of the world's chief central defender.

Standing on the sidelines, after seeing Thiago Silva cut Schweinsteiger's pass, he made a long pass to find Hulk to fight back, but Hummels promptly pushed the ball back to the midfield and gave Sven Bend. The latter passed it to Badstuber, barely resolving a Brazilian counterattack. Yang Cheng sighed and felt helpless.

"Just now, there was no good tacit understanding and interaction between Ozil and Klose. The distance was farther away. Thiago Silva is too difficult to deal with, so he has to pull him away. Don't enter his defensive area!"

Benitez nodded. Without the ability of one-on-one to steadily eat away from the opponent's powerful stars, Yang Cheng adopted this method of counter-running and forward-stripping to drive the ball forward, which can be said to be a last resort. But this is no better than a person, and requires tacit understanding from all parties.

If Messi or Kaka just took the ball and forced a breakthrough from the middle, attracting two opponents' players, and directly threatening the opponent's defense, the three German forwards can run without the ball in front to create loopholes and threats, and then the so-called iron wall of Brazil will be completely finished.

But the German team has no superstars, so they can only rely on team cooperation. This requires tacit understanding and running-in... Let Ozil retreat, widen the distance between the midfield and the defense line, and then use this space to create opportunities. This kid's adaptability is indeed very strong!" Scolari just saw a German team's attack and vaguely guessed Yang Cheng's thoughts.

It seems that unexpected changes are happening at any time and anywhere on the football field, and it seems that it is full of accidents all the time, but in fact, there is always a huge necessity in chance.

Just like the German team's attack just now, if Thiago Silva's robbery was not so ruthless, so decisive and precise, Schweinsteiger dribbled the ball and directly threatened the defense line, which would inevitably pose a threat to the Brazilian team's defense line, and even directly threatened the Brazilian team's goal.

"Yang Cheng is preparing to bet. Ozil retreats, which is equivalent to pulling back the frontcourt organization and passers. He wants to make more use of the space behind Ramirez and others. If we want to block this space, we need to adjust the defense line, and it will be easy for them to create loopholes!" Pereira also looked cautious in analysis.

In the current situation, both sides are using their best to attack the opponent's loopholes and defects. Brazil is curbing the German team's offense, while Germany wants to break free from the Brazilian team's cage. However, Yang Cheng now clearly wants to transform the previous comprehensive confrontation into the current local competition, break through a point on the Brazilian team's defense line, and collapse the entire Brazilian team's defense line.

If the German team formed a balance of numbers in a certain area of ​​Brazil's 32-meter area, then it is entirely possible to create a threat with the German team's team cooperation and combat capabilities. So to a certain extent, what Yang Cheng is pursuing now is how to create more such situations and opportunities.

"We have no choice either!" Scolari was also helpless about the current situation.

If his targeted tactics before put Yang Cheng in a dilemma, then now Yang Cheng's adjustments also put him in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wants to continue to maintain his oppressive advantage in the 32-meter area of ​​his side, continue to compress the space of Klose and Ozil, and ensure that the ball cannot easily come to their feet.

But on the other hand, the German team let Ozil retreat so deeply, which is equivalent to inducing Brazil's midfield defense to be in line with the corresponding advancement, and the distance from the defense line behind him will be widened, leaving a large gap. In this case, as long as someone can take advantage of this gap, the Brazilian team will become dangerous.

Maybe someone said, don’t you come back with Ozil, right?

The problem is not that simple. If you don’t come back with Ozil, it will be like giving him a chance to get the ball with ease. Once you give him such an opportunity, facing the goal and launching a head-on attack, his passing advantage will be fully exposed.

So, at this moment, Scolari is also facing a choice and a choice... the battle between masters. In fact, there are not so many fancy moves and so-called skills.

Both of them know each other well, know everything about each other, know the other party’s moves and threats, and are also carrying out targeted tactics and arrangements, so those tricks don’t matter, they often go directly into hand-to-hand combat.

Scolari's choice did not adjust the team's defense. He just trusted Thiago Silva's personal ability. The Brazilian has outstanding personal defense skills, as well as excellent speed and explosive power. This allows him to return to his defense zone as fast as possible after snatching. So Scolari gave him a certain amount of freedom to snatch.

The choices and adjustments of Yang Cheng and Scolari do not matter whether they are smart or not, nor whether they are good or not. The key is to see how the changes are on the court and whether the players can bring the head coach's adjustment to the extreme.

It was still Ozil who took the ball, and Schweinsteiger was still in front, but this time, Ramirez and Thiago Silva once again joined forces to double-team Schweinsteiger, and after the ball was intercepted, Thiago Silva did not hesitate at all, and drove the ball forward and launched a counterattack at the fastest speed.

This counterattack from Brazil came very quickly, very decisive and resolutely. Thiago Silva dribbled the ball quickly through the midfield and then passed the ball to the feet of Brazil's frontcourt offensive commander Kaka.

Kaka stopped the ball steadily, but Sven Bend stood firmly in front of the defense line as always, blocking Kaka's route forward, and cutting off Kaka's direction to enter the penalty area.

The reason why Brazilian superstar is a superstar is that he can make the most reasonable moves based on the situation on the court. So after Kaka got the ball, he turned sideways and immediately started his own speed, dribbled the ball quickly to the left side of the German team's defense line, and blocked Sven Bend behind him with his body.

Sven Bend is not as fast as Kaka in terms of speed, and the starting time is a little late, but he chose to give up without any reason, so he let himself be blocked by Kaka. He chased Kaka tightly, constantly harassing Kaka, and chased him to the front of the left side of the arc of his penalty area.

When Kaka expected Sven Bend and Bad Stuber were about to form a double-team, he suddenly stopped suddenly and wanted to change direction and dribble the ball into the top of the arc. Sven Bend had no choice but to know that there was a gap between Bad Stuber and Hummels. If Kaka got the chance to kick in the top of the arc at this time, it would be a direct threat.

Beep~~~~~

The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and he saw the referee on duty coming over and showing a yellow card to Sven Bend, giving him a warning because when Kaka was dribbling the ball, he tripped the Brazilian to the ground with the ball, giving the Brazilian a chance to have a direct free kick.

"It's okay, Sven!" Schweiingsteiger patted Sven Bend's shoulder with an apology.

To be honest, with Sven Bend's strength, it is really wise to imagine how much pressure a person wants to fight against a top superstar like Kaka with super personal abilities. In this case, Sven Bend's ability to choose a foul at a critical moment is actually a wise choice.

At least, the Brazilian didn't get an absolute scoring opportunity, didn't he?

Sven Bend's foul was in the middle of the front of the penalty area, and his position was very good. The Brazilian striker Hulk's free kick skills were very good. He stood at the free throw point. It seemed that he should be the one who took the free kick.

Since Robert Carlos, Juninho, Ronaldinho and other free kick masters left the national team, Brazil has been divided into free kick players. Now only Hulk is more capable of taking advantage of it, but compared with the seniors, it is still much inferior.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Neuer slapped his hands together with the goalkeeper's gloves and shouted loudly.

Deepalma walked to Yang Cheng's side as soon as possible, and muttered a few words to his ear. Yang Cheng waved to Schweiingsteiger and others who started to set the wall, signaling them to put the wall forward a little closer to Hulk, keep it tight and not reveal the gap.

Hulk's way of taking the free kick is somewhat similar to Adriano and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. They are all heavy gunners. This type of penalty kick may be powerful in long-range free kicks, but once the distance is close and they start pursuing arc, they will have problems.

Neuer moved quickly on the goal line, constantly observing from all angles, and finally stood in the middle, waiting for Hulk to take the free kick.

I saw the forward, who was dubbed by fans as the Hulk, standing a few steps behind the ball, taking a deep breath, his eyes always staring at the wall of Risven Bend. He had a premonition that if the ball shot hard passes through here, he could directly drill into the goal.

With the referee's whistle, Hulk rushed forward quickly. Taking advantage of the inertia brought by this rush, he landed on the ground and stepped on his left foot and swung his left foot directly. He faced the ball that was placed firmly, and shot hard and strongly.

Everyone could hear a bang, and the ball was like a cannonball, breaking through the air like an arrow from Hulk's feet, almost directly oriented towards the area where Sven Bend was at a straight angle.

At this moment, if Sven Bend dodged a little, the ball would pass through the area where he was, directly threatening the goal guarded by Neuer behind him! (To be continued)!~!
