Chapter 45, Enhanced High Voltage! Tailor-Made Tactics For Li Ao!
Chapter 45: Enhanced High Pressure! Tactics tailored for Li Ao!
The players from both sides stand well in their respective positions.
Boos, cheers, and all sorts of other sounds disappeared at this moment.
Everyone was waiting for the referee to blow that whistle.
When the clear whistle sounds,
The entire Etihad Stadium seemed to give a sudden burst of volcanoes, and enthusiastic magma spewed into the sky, shaking the whole of Manchester.
"The game begins! The game has begun! National TV! National TV! Good evening to the audience 1 Welcome to the sixth round of the 13-14 English Premier League, which is also the focus of the league, the Manchester derby! Manchester City host Manchester United!"
In Duan Xuan's voice.
Aguero kicked the ball forward, and Dzeko received it and passed it back to Yaya "840" Toure.
Almost in this instant!
Rooney, Ashley Young, Wilhelm.
Manchester United's front three attackers rushed forward at the same time like hungry tigers!
Meanwhile.
Li Ao also rushed forward.
He's right behind Wayne Rooney, his position has always been in the middle of the midfield, and depending on the task, he can even go forward to the forward position or retreat to the central defender position.
This line.
All are areas ruled by Li Ao.
Actually, Li Ao though the position is the front waist.
But his mission is not just to use his offensive abilities.
His most important function in this position is to play his defensive abilities!
It may sound incredible, but that's how Mourinho thinks he can get the most out of Li Ao.
Mourinho asked Li Ao to defend the area closest to the penalty area.
Once you can break the ball successfully, you can immediately launch a counterattack!!
In this way, it will be more lethal.
Generally speaking.
The vast majority of the front backs are not very good at defending.
Or even not defend at all
Therefore, the back and defender do not have to worry much about the fierce pressing of the opponent's front waist at the front of their own penalty area.
So the back and centre-backs have plenty of space to hold the ball.
Senior fans can tell it when they watch the game.
The centre-backs and backs were comfortable with the ball, and the three passed.
And to the front waist, forward line.
It's not easy to go calmly.
Because they face aggressive pressing on the back and back.
When the front court is not stuck, the forwards will also choose to pass the ball back to the back or back line in order to regroup.
So.
According to the habits of playing at the back and backs.
Mourinho believes.
This gives Li Ao a lot of room to steal.
To match this tactic.
Mourinho has been practicing the concept of a break-and-back attack up front all this time.
For example, everyone should cooperate with Li Ao to carry out high-level pressing.
For example, after a successful break, turn defense into an offensive running position.
This method is not the same as Mourinho's previous squat flow flow.
And the only reason for the conservative Mourinho to make such a change is Li Ao.
After taking a closer look at the comeback goal orchestrated by Li Ao against Liverpool.
Mourinho knows.
I underestimated Li Ao myself.
Especially underestimating his defensive abilities.
He must find a way to bring out his maximum energy!
So.
That's how Manchester United play now.
With Li Ao as the core.
In the front court, just press!!
This set of Li Ao is actually very familiar.
Because when they were at Bayern Munich, everyone liked to play like that.
This concept of pressing high and counterattacking with the ball evolved from the Bundesliga.
The coaches of the Bundesliga's academy.
Start with Rangnick.
To Klopp, Tuchel and others.
are practitioners of such a new concept of football tactics.
In fact, such tactics are also based on the premise that contemporary footballers have a stronger ability to run.
Maybe in the degree of football talent, inspiration, ball sense, gorgeousness.
The players produced by the assembly line now are not comparable to the masters of the past.
But the current player has an ability that is definitely crushing the previous masters.
That is, super running ability————— scientific training and nutrition development, so that modern players have better physical fitness "running ability is stronger.......
Twenty years ago.
One game down.
The average run of the players is only five or six kilometers per game.
Players who can run more than seven or eight kilometers per game are called iron men!
And now?
Don't say the big five leagues.
Even if it is a very poor level of the Chinese Super League.
The average run of the players has reached 10,000 meters per game.
In the five major leagues.
A fast-paced game like the Premier League.
At the end of a race, it is common for players to run an average of 12,000 kilometers per game.
In this tactic built on super running ability.
It was also developed according to the characteristics of modern footballers.
A suffocating frontcourt press.
It is also the trend of the last two years.
Whether it is Borussia Dortmund, who rose in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, who won the treble.
Or in La Liga, Atletico Madrid, which broke the monopoly of the league between Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two superpowers.
By the way.
It's all super running based on physical fitness.
This set of Mourinho is not without observation.
In fact, he also began to try to play an oppressive defense up front in the late stages of Real Madrid.
But at that time, how could Real Madrid's frontcourt stars 1.0 be willing to do such dirty work?
High pressure in the frontfield.
What is needed is discipline, physical fitness, and determination!
Indispensable.
Maybe Real Madrid's stars are physically fine, but their defensive discipline is something that Mourinho has always had a headache.
And at Manchester United.
After having Li Ao.
Mourinho thought he could give it a try...
This enhanced version of oppression.
Because.
Li Ao as a front waist.
He is not only the most physical, defensive and anticipatory player at Manchester United.
Meantime.
He is also the player who makes the strongest lethal passes, and even the strongest finishing ability!
This set of tactics.
It is tailor-made for Li Ao!.
