Chapter 300 Slow to Control Fast (Forty-Eight/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

After the game started, Dong Qiudi sat in the stands and watched the game with the Lazio fans around him.

The Lazio fans around him are quite relaxed.

Because first of all, no matter what the result of the game is, it will not affect Lazio to qualify as the first in the group. They do not believe that Lazio will lose the first place in the group.

Secondly, they don't think Tottenham Hotspur can still beat Lazio, even at Tottenham Hotspur's home court.

This relaxed state of mind comes from their confidence in the team.

In the past five seasons, the victorious teams have proved that they are optimistic about Lazio with actual results. This Lazio is indeed worthy of their high hopes and has never been disappointed.

So in the days of following Lazio's southern and northern wars, they learned self-confidence by relying on victory.

Even at White Hart Lane, where they were barely able to make their voices heard by the Tottenham fans, they were not worried.

Many people even folded their hands on their chests and sat on chairs with their legs crossed, watching the game.

How is this like watching a passionate game? Dong Qiudi was more excited than them.

Dong Qiudi didn't forget his job when he was excited. He had to watch the game live to see if his analysis was correct—Chang Sheng didn't tell him the result after he got his report, so he didn't know if he was right.

After the start of the game, Tottenham Hotspur really focused on attacking Lazio's two wings, because their wing attack was very sharp.

This is Redknapp's tactic.

The essence of tactics is to use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. To put it bluntly, it is bullying the weak. Even the so-called victory over the strong with the weak is based on the formation of the advantage of our strong and the weak against the weak in some key links, and it is the result of continuously expanding it to the overall level. From the perspective of the rationality of tactical arrangements, the commander must hide and make up for his own defects and weaknesses as much as possible, and continuously accumulate and expand his own advantages. And try to take the initiative. Use our strongest to attack the opponent's weakest, obtain the greatest possibility of winning and pay the least risk and price.

In Dong Qiudi's view, Redknapp's choice was right, and it was the only one he could choose. Tottenham Hotspur's most powerful offensive weapon is the wing attack. Their two wide players have outstanding personal abilities. Gareth Bale is on the left and Lennon is on the right. They are both fast and capable of making breakthroughs. Bring players.

If you don't give full play to your strengths, you are mentally ill.

As for the organization of the midfield, that is Tottenham Hotspur's weak link.

Either Holderstone. Neither Jenas nor Jenas are pure playmakers.

Tottenham Hotspur only has Van der Vaart as a midfielder.

With Lazio's muscular midfielder, it is easy to contain Van der Vaart.

Dong Qiudi thought that Chang Sheng should have seen this too.

※ ※ ※

Of course Chang Sheng saw this.

In fact, he knows better than Dong Qiudi.

Because there is no Modric in Tottenham Hotspur today, only Van der Vaart who came to Tottenham Hotspur from Real Madrid to heal his injuries.

Van der Vaart, who was originally in Hamburg, was the absolute core of the midfield, but after he went to Real Madrid, he performed well at the beginning. Then fell rapidly, injuries and state ups and downs have affected his status in Real Madrid.

This summer, with the joining of Ozil and Canales, Real Madrid has completely lost the position of the Dutch midfielder, so he had to switch to Tottenham Hotspur, at the last moment before the transfer market closed Only then did the transfer succeed.

The transfer fee is 10 million euros.

After coming to Tottenham Hotspur, to be honest. Van der Vaart's performance is still good.

But injuries still affected his performance.

In the last round, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Lazio away, and van der Vaart was not able to go to Rome with the team because of a minor injury.

Redknapp obviously thinks that this away game is more than good.

So just give up the game. Keep the most important cards at home.

Van der Vaart is his trump card, as well as Giroud, the team's top scorer who has scored six goals.

But in Chang Sheng's view, Tottenham Hotspur's offense, which only relies on Van der Vaart, Bale, Lennon and Giroud, still lacks layers and is too simple.

Giroud knows it well. Because this is what you cultivated yourself.

Bell and Lennon last round, Lazio has also figured out their characteristics.

Van der Vaart is even simpler.

In that space-time Tottenham Hotspur had Modric. That is their true midfield core. The presence of Modric makes Tottenham Hotspur's offense more layered and three-dimensional.

Now, Redknapp can only pin his hopes on Van der Vaart's scheduling organization in the midfield.

However, his position is the attacking midfielder. With the development of football, the organizational function of the attacking midfielder has become increasingly weak. Although many attacking midfielders are named as the attacking midfielder, they are actually doing things like shadow forwards, such as the typical trick forward. Waist Kaka, he is best at scoring with the ball in a defensive counterattack, rather than organizing an offense with the ball.

Players like van der Vaart became more and more difficult to mix in the following days, and finally simply mixed back to Hamburg. They have rarely appeared in the eyes of mainstream European media. In addition to his frequent injuries, the change in the tactical style of the football environment is also an important factor. reason.

For van der Vaart, Chang Sheng did not let the three midfielders stand in front of each other in the midfield, but stood in a unified line, and a three midfielder came.

In this way, Ledesma and Meireles can focus on containing Van der Vaart without delaying Modric's attack.

Bale and Lennon relied on Gotze and David Silva to cooperate with two full-backs Balzaretti and Azpilicueta to suppress.

※ ※ ※

Giroud was very active after the start of the game, but unfortunately he couldn't get the ball, so even if he ran a lot, he was not a threat.

Lazio's targeted defensive arrangements are very effective.

In this game, Changsheng sacrificed the offensive ability of the midfielder, strengthened the defense, and contained Van der Vaart.

Especially the crazy tackles of Ledesma and Meireles put a lot of pressure on Van der Vaart...

He has suffered from frequent injuries in Real Madrid for two seasons, so he is very afraid of injuries now, plus he has just returned from injury before this game. He was even more afraid of getting hurt.

As long as Ledesma and Meireles fight fiercely, Van der Vaart will have to focus more on how to protect himself from injury, rather than how to organize the attack.

Not long after the start of the game, Van der Vaart fell into Lazio's muscular jungle.

Even the narrator could tell that Van der Vaart is not in good shape today.

"Van der Vaart put too much energy into the physical confrontation with Ledesma and Meireles... and Tottenham Hotspur's offense has made no progress..."

※ ※ ※

Van der Vaart was restricted, so Tottenham Hotspur could only rely on two wings again.

Especially Bell.

But this time is different from when we were at home.

Lazio need not rush to attack.

The tactical thinking of often winning this game is defense.

Yes, you read that right, defense.

Lazio, who held high the offensive football, did not choose to attack. He even chose defense!

-taka is used by Changsheng for defense, and Lazio in this game emphasizes control more.

When the ball is at their feet, they slow down, they don't rush forward, it's a completely different style from Lazio.

They pass it back and forth. Even the offense is advanced layer by layer, trying every means to consume more game time.

This is why Cruyff is unhappy about winning.

At first, when Chang Sheng played -taka in Valencia, Cruyff was very happy, because it meant that his set was fruitful, although it was not seen in Barcelona. But he hopes that his tactical thinking can be accepted by more people. In the case of Barcelona, ​​​​other teams can help him preach. He is also very happy.

So at that time, he also wrote a special article to praise Chang Sheng.

As a result, he later found out that Chang Sheng actually used -taka to defend, and he was upset.

He felt that such a beautiful tactic was completely desecrated by Chang Sheng.

Since then, Cruyff has switched to Chang Sheng Yi Hei.

It's okay to criticize Chang Sheng in his newspaper column. This continued until Chang Sheng left Valencia and went to Italy, and the frequency decreased a lot.

However, it also paved the way for the war of words and curses between Chang Sheng and Cruyff after Lazio eliminated Barcelona.

※ ※ ※

Contain Tottenham Hotspur's two wide attacks. The principle is very simple, just don't give the other party space. Then shrink the defense just fine.

If the opponent hits a quick counterattack, then destroy their offense immediately, whether it is using a normal method or fouling.

In this way, the advantage of Bell and Lennon is gone.

And Lazio has another advantage in this game. They have already won Tottenham Hotspur at home.

This kind of defensive tactics, when playing, there is no pressure at all.

So full of enthusiasm, Tottenham Hotspur, who planned to fight Lazio at White Hart Lane, was dumbfounded.

They felt that their punch with full power hit the cotton, and it didn't hurt Lazio at all.

Originally, Tottenham Hotspur planned to use speed to fight Lazio to the death, because Lazio is also characterized by speed.

That is to fight for speed and see who is faster.

But I didn't expect Chang Sheng not to compete with them for speed! Changsheng chooses full, using control to curb their speed.

Football is more at the feet of Lazio, and Tottenham Hotspur's speed will naturally not be able to play. Any team without the ball at their feet will not work.

In Dong Qiudi's analysis report to Chang Sheng, the analysis is close to ten. The only difference is that Lazio did not expect such a resolute defense, using control of the ball and slowing down to deal with Tottenham Hotspur's fast pace.

He thought Lazio would stick to the attack.

But he underestimated Chang Sheng's utilitarianism...
