Chapter 127 Doubt, Still Doubt
When the reporters in the media booth and the commentators in the commentary booth saw this scene, they all became excited.
This picture is simply too connotative!
They can decipher a lot from it.
The reporters began to mentally draft what they were about to write, while the narrator said it directly.
"Aimar seems very dissatisfied with being replaced early. Just now when the fourth official held up the substitution sign on the sidelines, he was very surprised to see his number and looked unbelievable..."
"Aimar has reason to think this way, because he was essential when Valencia needed to attack. But he was replaced, and any player who wants to contribute to the team will not be satisfied. Replaced in advance..."
"Chang is too timid. His approach may not only cause Valencia to lose a King's Cup championship, but may also offend an excellent player. Over the past half a season, Aimar's performance has been greatly improved..."
"I think of one thing. In the first half of the season, Aimar was said to have been sent to the B team by Changsheng for three weeks because of violations of the rules for disclosing internal news to reporters. Maybe the Liangzi between the two people never It was concluded at that time... Could this be a regular retaliation? If he loses in the Copa del Rey final, he can pass the blame to Aimar..."
These narrators were all very excited for the scene where Aimar and Chang Sheng passed each other, not looking at each other, but they ignored the scene where Chang Sheng pulled Ibrahimovic to teach him face-to-face.

Guardiola is still asking Baraja, he wants to know as much as possible about Chang Sheng's intentions. It will also help him in the game to help win often.
"Apart from the three midfielders, what else did he say?"
"He said you don't need to defend. Pep, you can concentrate on organizing the attack. Connect the team's midfield, backcourt and frontcourt... Oh, and he also said that we need to score a goal as soon as possible and put Real Madrid's team together. The arrogance is completely suppressed!"
Guardiola fell silent, he carefully chewed all the words Chang Sheng gave Baraja.
Goal as soon as possible...
This is the focus of this adjustment.
But if he wants to score as soon as possible, why did he replace Aimar?
Because I often discuss tactics with Chang Sheng, exchange and learn from each other,
So Guardiola knows several important roles in the midfield in this tactic.
Chang Sheng classified them into three categories and gave them names.
"Spoilers" respectively. "Transmitter" and "Creator".
"Destroyer" knows what it means just by looking at the name. It is a defensive midfielder, mainly responsible for defense. This job is currently in charge of Albelda in Valencia.
The "passer" is responsible for passing the ball. He is a transfer station. All the balls from back to front pass through him. The football will also fall to his feet. This person must be the player with the most passes in the game. Valencia's current "passer" is Guardiola.
The "creator" may be responsible for the final pass. His pass is more subtle and imaginative. At the same time, he must have excellent personal breakthrough ability and be able to break the deadlock with his own strength. Such a person is currently Aimar. So why 442 actually played very well, and the team won consecutively. In the end, Changsheng will still use 4231. Because these three are indispensable in the midfield.
The destroyer is responsible for the defense. After breaking the football, he will not play any tricks and pass the football directly to the passer. The passer controls the tempo and direction of the team's offense, passing the ball to the creator. Create here to use your talent and talent to send the last pass. Help the team score goals.
But now that the creator has gone down, how can he score a goal?
He also thought that going to Baraja was to let Baraja take over the job of his passer. Presuppose one's own position and become a creator.
But Chang Sheng let him stay in the backcourt, so he didn't understand.
The distance between myself and Ibrahimovic is so far, how can I send the football up?
※※※
Guardiola's doubts are also the doubts of many people.
Because when the game restarted, they didn't see Guardiola go up to fill Aimar's space, from Guardiola's Valencia midfielder position to Real Madrid's midfielder position with Makelele and Herguera Above, a vacuum appeared.
There are no two players here, and no one fighting for space.
Those experts and reporters who were keen on studying tactics were stunned by this scene. They then looked at each other, not understanding why.
But soon, their doubts were answered.
Because Ibrahimovic pulled it back, he replaced Aimar's "creator" status, and he became the new "creator"!
But the old question was answered, and the new question came again-Ibrahimovic retreated to Aimar's position, who would replace him as a center forward?
Reporters and experts fell into deep contemplation and perplexity again...
※※※
Guardiola was also stunned when he saw this scene, but he was not as puzzled as those reporters and commentators, but was surprised.
Because he knew what Chang Sheng was doing!
He didn't expect that Chang Sheng would try out the new idea he had said in this important game!
Although in normal training, Chang Sheng will explain some of his new tactical ideas to the players, and then practice them in training, but he has never let the team use them in an official game...
Guardiola has always believed that this is just a concept, immature. Even if it is used, the effect is not very good.
Because today's football has not given Chang Sheng the opportunity to use this new tactic.
Today's football places more emphasis on the strict defense near the penalty area. This kind of defensive system like a city wall requires a strong forward to deal with it. If there is no strong forward, the team may not even pass the ball to the goal when attacking. Go, how do you score a goal?
So he felt that Chang Sheng was just a way of thinking.
Who would have thought that Chang Sheng would use it like this in the King's Cup final!
No front tactics!
This is the no-front tactic that Chang Sheng once mentioned to himself and asked him for advice!
He turned his head to look at Chang Sheng off the field.
In addition to being shocked, I was also a little worried.
Such a tactic that has not been tested in actual combat and is not yet mature is used in this way. What if the team loses because of it?
But he didn't have time to think too much, because the game had restarted.
※※※
No one other than Valencia's own players understood what Zlatan Ibrahimovic meant by dropping back into Aimar's place.
On Real Madrid's side, Bosque also let out a "huh" when he saw this scene, and then stood up from his seat, as if standing up would allow him to see more clearly.
He couldn't understand why Valencia's Chinese coach did this.
Ibrahimovic retreated frequently during the game, and he didn't retreat to get the ball, he just retreated, often in vain.
Then there was no one in front of the door.
Can you win this game?
Bosque never thought that a head coach would make arrangements not to have a striker.
But in any case, Chang Sheng's arrangement seems to be a good thing for Real Madrid?
As long as you can win this game, don't worry about the rest...
Thinking so, Bosque sat back down again.
※※※
The commentators on the commentary booth launched another round of criticism of Chang Sheng.
But nothing new, just the same sentence over and over again: "Chang must have been frightened by Real Madrid's continuous and rapid offensive before, and was dizzy with fright, so he made such a low-level substitution and adjustment..."
No one noticed that the Valencia players were running more frequently and aggressively than before.
Especially on the offensive end, Ibrahimovic, Mendieta and Vicente are running more and more and changing positions more and more frequently. There are so many changes between Mendieta and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, it has been so much that...Real Madrid's defenders are a little at a loss-what are these two doing? Are they here to play football or to run?
But Real Madrid's players don't know that the most important thing in the no-forward tactics is to run, otherwise why Guardiola's Barcelona often use the no-forward tactics to win?
Because their own tactics emphasize running positions.
Because no-forward tactics emphasize impact, this impact is not the impact of a certain player in traditional tactics, but the impact of the entire team.
This impact is achieved through the running of the whole team.
Everyone can't wait for the ball, but collectively attack the space.
The previous tactical style of play was running and passing.
No-front tactics are passing and running.
If you change the two words, the meaning is different.
This is the difference between waiting for the ball and catching the ball.
No-front tactics are more fluid and faster-paced.
It is an iconic masterpiece of future modern football.
In fact, except for Barcelona, many wealthy teams emphasize no-forward tactics. For example, some of the most famous scorers, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Aguero, etc., are not considered true centers, but a true center scorer must sacrifice his scoring ability to provide them with opportunities. For example, when Cristiano Ronaldo was scoring goals at Manchester United, Rooney became a foil. Not to mention Messi, he has unlimited firepower in Barcelona. Even a powerful center like Zlatan Ibrahimovic can only be a green leaf for Messi in Barcelona. If the Swedes don’t do it, they will be sold off up.
Manchester City with Aguero has many powerful centers, but in the end no one raised it. Whether it is Ruo, Dzeko, Adebayor, or Santa Cruz, they can only play as substitutes.
The fast pace and passing emphasized by the frontless tactics are exactly the trend of football development in the future.
This is also the reason for the rise of frontless tactics and the gradual demise of traditional column centers.
How can the current Real Madrid have any experience in fighting against no-front tactics?
They haven't even heard of it!
So facing Valencia, who ran more and more frequently and changed positions more and more, Real Madrid began to feel dizzy...
