Chapter 622 The most deadly weakness

After Gao Han's special speech, other famous European coaches 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 self-confidence will only block yourself from the mainstream. Only by communicating and communicating can you always update your tactical concepts.

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

"As a Dutch head coach, I have a kind of paranoidness about the three-back tactics. I like this formation very much. When I was in Barcelona, ​​I also tried three-four-three playing styles, but the effect was not ideal."

"However, I think that the three, four and three formations have the advantages that almost all formations have today, with length and width, and in the most effective way, the team's resources are allocated to every corner of the court. This is a very wonderful 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, and three formations were once popular, with the Netherlands attacking and defending all the way. Cruyff’s Dream Team used this formation to play with different effects, but they undoubtedly achieved remarkable results.

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

There is no perfect tactic in this world.

So, what the head coach has to do is to choose and weigh trade-offs.

Guardiola also agrees with Rijkaard's point of view. As the main midfielder of Cruyff Dream Team, Guardiola also expressed his love for the third, fourth and third formation, but he mentioned that in the third, fourth and third formation, the most important player is not the midfielder who was dragged behind, but several other midfielders.

"In our three, four, and three formations at that time, there were two players in the team's midfield and backcourt that could not be moved, one was in the center of the central defender, and the other was the fourth position behind. These two positions were very critical."

"When defending, the two sideline and central defenders often pull to both sides and take on the defensive tasks of full-backs, but when the team has the advantage of the scene, they will also jump forward along the wing road, participate in the offense, and act as wing forwards, or even wingers."

Eindhoven's head coach Ronald Koeman nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, Ferrer and I were these two sideline-center-center-backs at that time, and Nadal was in the center."

"That's right." Guardiola nodded to his former teammates, "I think that at that time our main style of play was to rotate the frontcourt, the center forward pulling or retracing, the front midfielder position made full use of the striker's pulling and attacking opponent's loopholes. At this time, Michelle Laudrup will move forward and act as the team's frontcourt offensive core, passing and assisting at the front of the penalty area."

"Michelle, especially, has a very flexible position and plays the most important role of the team."

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

"Mengyi's offensive firepower is indeed very strong, but while maintaining strong firepower, the weakness of the defense line will be more obvious. Therefore, in that Champions League final, Capello made targeted arrangements on the defensive end, freezing Barcelona's offensive firepower, making it difficult for the latter to create a threatening attack, but at the same time, it also seized the loopholes in Barcelona's defense line and attacked."

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

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

"Yes, that's right, this is the fragility of three, four and three. The offense is very fierce, but once facing the opponent's intensive defense, it is difficult to find an effective way to crack it, which will expose your weaknesses and shortcomings on the defensive end." Guardiola also said with regret.

This made Gao Han involuntarily remember Spain during the Camacho era that Aragones mentioned to him. It was the most gorgeous and most adorable period in the history of the Spanish national team. When facing some teams with little overall defense intensity, they were almost out of the way and won wildly.

However, when Camacho's Spain met its nemesis Italy, the Bullfighter could almost be said to be helpless and ended with a crushing defeat. Camacho's reform in Spain was completely over.

Attack and defense are like two sides of a coin, and it is hard to distinguish between each other.

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

Cruyff's Dream Team was in the early 1990s. The overall defensive intensity was not high at that time, but now it is different, especially in the new century, the defensive level of the top European leagues is much higher than that of those years.

At that time, the difficulties faced by Dream Team will definitely be magnified several times, or even dozens of times, until now.

This is also why no one dares to easily try the three, four, and three formations.

Gao Han listened carefully to the speeches and discussions of many famous coaches. Everyone has their own deep understanding of football. If we only look at the football level, even if we fight here for ten days and half a month, it would be difficult for them to decide the outcome.

But when they arrive on the football field, the teams they coach may not be able to express their football philosophy.

Because of this, there are so-called victory or defeat, so-called success and failure.

But this has nothing to do with the head coach's football level.

Three people go together there must be my teacher.

Gao Han has benefited a lot.

…………

…………

After a day of heated discussion, the European head coach summit finally came to an end.

After the meeting, the head coaches have the freedom to choose to accept media interviews.

Almost everyone gave high praise to Gao Han's special speech and said that the summit was held very successfully.

Chelsea's head coach Rijkaard said in an interview with British media, "When I coached at Barcelona, ​​I knew how outstanding Gao Han was, but today's exchanges made me clearly realize that it is not surprising that he was able to achieve his current results."

AC Milan head coach Ancelotti said, "High Han has promoted the development of football. He has realized the wishes of many teams and many head coaches. He has proved that using offense and offense can also win games. He has allowed people to see that football tactics are so wonderful."

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

"He made me unable to admit the fact that I was old."

Ferguson also praised Gao Han, "Gao Han and his team's desire for victory has reached an incredible level, and 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 believes that holding such a summit is very meaningful, and he also hopes to attend frequently in the future.

"Maybe I have won them on the court, but when I was communicating here, I found that there are still many things worth learning in them, and from them, I can also see many shortcomings in myself."

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

The European Head Coach Summit was not paid attention to in the past, but this year it attracted the attention of all fans. Gao Han made an indelible contribution, and major media around the world also gave very high praise to the summit.

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 level are the best in the world.

Gao Han was able to deliver his own special speech on such a platform and received unanimous recognition from many famous coaches, which undoubtedly confirmed to everyone that Gao Han's coaching level and the status of top coaches in Europe and even the world.

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

They developed in surprise. In the current sluggish football in China, Gao Han brought them too many surprises and pride. He was not only the first person in Asia to win the Champions League, but also the first head coach to participate in the European head coach summit and give a special speech at the summit.

What is even more commendable is that his professional level can be recognized by many famous coaches.

When UEFA announced Gao Han’s special speech and the heated discussions of many famous coaches on his official website, everyone was shocked by the content again.

Many talents were even surprised to find that the tactics were not so-called assembling positions for players and studying the coordination routines as simple as it was. It turned out that football tactics were so profound and fascinating.

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

It turns out that all this is true.

In a football game, fans see the winner, loser, three-pointer, or the process of the game, but in the eyes of famous coaches, what they see is the core concept reflected behind all the appearances.

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

However, Gao Han did not change his itinerary because of the attention of external media and fans.

After attending the European head coaching summit, Gao Han went to Madrid, Spain for vacation.

After two or three days of rest, he returned to Munich.

Although there are many international players in Bayern Munich, there are also some players who missed the national team. They cannot have a holiday within two weeks, so Gao Han and the coaching team need to return to the team to host daily training.

Moreover, although Bayern Munich won the league in the previous few rounds, the team 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 next game.

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

Although the Brazilian's offense is very sharp and even not inferior to a first-class winger, his defense is a difficult problem.
