Chapter 759: Inheritance of position 4

Guardiola is really a perfectionist.

Obviously he is a Capricorn, but why is he more picky than Su Dong, a Virgo?

From the team’s overall tactical framework to specific execution details, and then subdivided into daily training items, Guardiola not only crushed his tactical ideas, instilled them in the players, and even pursued perfection in every detail. .

Do you think it's just these?

Wrong, so wrong!

This guy even has very high requirements on the training ground.

After coming to the training base in the United States, he found that although the surroundings were separated by barbed wire, the fans could still see the team's training outside the barbed wire fence. In order to avoid being watched, especially by competitors, he went directly to the ball. The team applied for an advertising screen to cover the barbed wire around the training ground.

After doing this, he was still worried, and arranged manpower to patrol around to check any suspicious people.

This makes the players in the sealed training ground have a kind of illusion, which seems to be guarding James Bond.

But there is one thing to say, Guardiola's preparations are really fine to the extreme.

Before training every day, he requires players to come to the locker room one hour in advance. He and the coaching staff will post different tactical drawings on the wall every day, and then use the hour before training to explain the content of the tactical drawings to the players. .

Before the players walk on the training ground, he and the coaching staff will re-emphasize the details that they need to pay attention to in training, and they will have a very clear understanding of what they should and should not do.

Su Dong was also very surprised by this, but at the same time he began to understand why Guardiola needed so many assistants.

At present, the coaching staff of Manchester City's first team has nearly 30 people engaged in various tasks, even more than the players of the first team. Compared with the coaching staff of other teams, the number is much larger.

Why does Guardiola need so many assistants?

The reason is that his preparations are too detailed, all the content is subdivided to the extreme, naturally more manpower is needed, and he also added many items that other teams do not have.

For example, he will take a video of each training session and conduct targeted analysis on the video.

Just this one, no three or five people can't handle it at all.

Not only that, for such a large team to operate in an orderly manner, especially for the division of labor, it requires Guardiola to have a clear enough understanding and a mature tactical framework so that everyone can be assigned tasks.

After doing this, coupled with a huge coaching team, each player can clearly know what he needs to do and how to do it.

At this point, Su Dong had to admit that Guardiola was very efficient, unprecedented.

Of course, knowing is one thing, and whether it can be implemented in place is another matter.

Guardiola also has a very special quirk, that is, he looks very elegant and calm, and even under some uncomfortable appearance, there is a heart of rock and roll hidden.

He would play some rock songs every time the team took the bus or before training in the locker room.

Using the player's private joking statement, Leng Ao's appearance can't suppress his restless heart!

On the tactical level, Guardiola adopted the most original four-position tactic.

In order to better explain what is the fourth position tactics, Guardiola even dedicated an hour to produce some PPT to detail the evolution of the entire tactics.

From Brazil’s four, two, four, ancient gods, to Michels’s four, three, three, all offense and defense, but the tactics of the fourth position were not clear at the time, and later Michels’ full offense and defense tactics were also defeated Kenbauer was defeated by freeman tactics.

The use is that the defense is too weak when the offense is turned from offense to defense.

Does it feel familiar?

Yes, this is where Guardiola's Manchester City has been criticized.

It can be said that this weakness has continued in the same line.

Because of the natural weakness of full offense and defense, in the later era of the Three Musketeers, Holland's full offense and defense were obviously much more conservative, and the position was even a bit like the four, two, and three at the beginning of this century.

Rijkaard was the fourth player at the time, but his position was in central defender.

When Cruyff coached Barcelona, ​​he often used the four-four-two tactic. At that time, the core of the organization was the midfielder Guardiola, but at that time he was not running the current four-position tactic.

It was Van Gaal's Ajax that really made the fourth position tactics mature and finalized.

Rijkaard, who returned to Ajax, was unable to take care of the defense, so Van Gaal was placed in the midfielder position. The team also adopted a three-four-three, or three-three-one-three tactic. Rijkaard was in Shine on the fourth position.

In 1997, Van Gaal was invited to coach Barcelona. At that time, his plan was to continue to promote his fourth position tactics in Barcelona, ​​and he believes that Barcelona captain Guardiola is a natural fourth player.

But Van Gaal was caught off guard. Guardiola was seriously injured and missed most of the games this season. Although Barcelona won the La Liga title by an overwhelming advantage, the Champions League stopped in the first round of the group stage.

Guardiola did not return from injury until December in the second season of Van Gaal coaching Barcelona. This caused Barcelona to stop in the group stage for two consecutive seasons. Van Gaal begged for a fourth position, even though he won both seasons. Under the La Liga championship, but stopped in the first round of the group stage in the Champions League.

It should be noted that the intensity of the UEFA Champions League that year was higher than that of the UEFA Champions League after the expansion.

Due to the delay in the Champions League, Van Gaal has won the championship in the league, but Van Gaal is still questioned. In addition, he and Barcelona godfather Cruyff are rivals, so in the third season of coaching, Van Gaal and the media The relationship with the fans has always been very bad, and finally left angrily after failing to win the league championship.

From start to finish, Van Gaal failed to get a complete fourth player.

He later promoted Xavi to come up, in fact, hoping that Xavi could fill the vacancy of Guardiola, but unfortunately, Xavi at that time was too immature to meet Van Gaal's expectations.

However, it is not difficult to see that Van Gaal's cultivation of Van Gaal during that time has benefited him immensely from the admiration of Van Gaal every time Harvey is interviewed.

After introducing this personally experienced history, Guardiola is full of regrets.

Guardiola believes that the serious injury caused him to lose a lot and also affected many people, especially Van Gaal.

No. 4 players are not easy to find. Van Gaal wanted to push his coaching career one step further from Ajax to Barcelona, ​​but he did not expect to encounter Guardiola seriously injured.

From Guardiola's tone, although he didn't say it clearly, he could hear that his evaluation of Van Gaal is still very high. Even in his heart, Van Gaal is the hero behind the rise of Barcelona in recent years.

Especially this wave of youth training after Van Gaal's reform.

This also explains why Guardiola brought Busquets from Barcelona, ​​his direct line of coaching the second team of Barcelona.

This player is very similar to Guardiola back then. The defense is relatively average, but his passing organization, vision and overall view are his strong points. This perfectly matches the fourth position tactics in Barcelona's pass-and-control play.

However, Guardiola also believes that after entering the new century, especially in recent years, tactical innovation is very fast.

The position of the late midfielder needs to have a certain defensive ability to protect the line of defense when the team is in position.

This is also the reason why Rijkaard's defense was always unstable after he had Deco and Harvey, and he did not stabilize the backcourt until Marcos Senna was introduced.

Unlike Rijkaard’s Barcelona, ​​Pep Guardiola emphasizes the midfielder to press and press, so the defensive ability of the fourth player is not particularly demanding. He thinks Busquets is the best fourth player that best meets his requirements. .

In just one hour, it was fleeting.

The content is very detailed, so that Su Dong basically understands the inheritance of Barcelona passing the ball, especially the understanding of the fourth position tactics.

Most importantly, he made Su Dong's evaluation of Van Gaal to a higher level.

Even Su Dong began to feel that Van Gaal was greater than Cruyff!

After understanding the development context of the fourth position tactics, everyone can go to watch Guardiola's tactical drawings to get a clearer understanding of Guardiola's intentions and ideas.

Don't underestimate this.

Only when players understand these, execute them on the court, and cope with the rapid changes of the court, can they be more comfortable.

This is why Guardiola makes these tactical drawings and spends so long every day explaining them.

However, don't think that Guardiola will only play tricks.

On the contrary, this guy is really comparable to the devil in the summer training camp.

Especially when doing physical reserve training, it is definitely the most terrifying devil training that Su Dong has ever experienced.

Guardiola and his team have gained a clearer understanding of the characteristics of the Premier League after their experience in the Premier League last season, especially since there is no winter break. Therefore, during the summer training period this season, his training volume Obviously it is much larger than before.

He even said without denying that he wanted to train the best team in the Premier League and even European football.

Passing control, UU reading www.uukanshu.com wants to ensure the stability of the pass, it needs to have enough contact points, and each contact point is created by running, so he needs players on the court All ran.

This requires very good physical fitness.

Even to deal with the excellent physical fitness of running 38 league rounds.

Because of this, he specially tailored physical reserve training for Manchester City.

This makes all the players participating in the summer training camp be trained to cry and cry.

Who would have thought that behind Guardiola's seemingly elegant, there is such a "cruel and tyrannical" side.

It is precisely because the physical reserve training has indeed exhausted all the energy, which caused Manchester City to perform very poorly in the subsequent warm-up matches, which once again aroused the suspicion of the media and fans.
