Football coach

"Cesc has the ball, Sneijder is entangled with Fabregas, Fabregas is free from Sneijder. Fabregas passes the ball back to Flamini, Fabregas does not ** Spotting the passing lanes in the middle of West Ham."

This summer, Arsenal captain Vieira moved to Juventus, and Wenger began to support the youngest Fabregas, letting Fabregas take the core position in the midfield.

Fabregas is definitely the kind of player that Wenger has been looking forward to in his tactics, or Wenger's tactical philosophy, and is Wenger's favorite player.So after Wenger poached Fabregas, he looked forward to Fabregas very much.

Fabregas is currently only 18 years old, but he has already become the core midfielder in a strong Premier League team like Arsenal.It can be seen how much Wenger likes Fabregas and how much he values ​​Fabregas.

Of course Fabregas is also a rare talent.

Fabregas' technique, passing and vision are all very good.Among the 18-year-old age group, there are really only a few players in world football who are better than Cesc Fabregas.But Fabregas had a headache in this game, and even felt very irritable in his heart.Because of the vision he has always been proud of, the game was completely covered.Obviously West Ham did not adopt intensive defense, and there were too many people in the backcourt.Compared with other players hoarding ** individuals in the backcourt, West Ham has the most people investing in the defense at the front of the penalty area.But regardless of the small number of people, Fabregas always failed to pass the ball every time he wanted to pass.Because it was found that there were West Ham players watching on every passing route.This is the power of "space segmentation".

The number of people is small, but the space is properly controlled and divided.Because of the science, relying on their positions and cooperation, the space controlled by each player has increased a lot, but it doesn't matter how much space is left.This is advanced defensive tactics.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Cesc Fabregas mostly crossed and passed back, and missed forward passes.A forward pass is nothing more than a pass to the wing.

"Reyes, the gap in the middle, Reyes goes outside... Reyes, cross! Pepe headed the ball out!"

"Ljungberg, Eboue comes up. Ljungberg passes the ball to Eboue, Eboue crosses... Thiago *** grabs the ball and puts the ball in the front point Push it out!"

Fabregas can't go in the middle, so he can only pass the ball to the side, hoping to attack from the side.

However, after West Ham followed Chen Ping's "space division" theory, they almost locked the middle.After all, manpower is limited, and it is impossible to control all the space, so there is a limit to space division.Locking the middle is the easiest and most suitable.Therefore, Arsenal's two wingers have no chance to go to the middle, and they can only go to the side.Excellent defense does not mean that the offense can be completely locked, but only reduces the offensive threat.

That's what happened to West Ham's attack against Arsenal, pushing them wide.

Arsenal couldn't enter the center and could only choose to cross from the wing.At present, what West Ham is most afraid of is Arsenal's cross.In terms of offense, Arsenal are the best players with headers.Arsenal's offense is on the ground, and the air ball is not Arsenal's strong point.

Whether it's Henry or Van Persie, including Ljungberg and Fabregas who are plugging in behind, they have no ability to attack with headers.Compared with them, West Ham has a tall goalkeeper like Van der Sar, Pepe and Thiago *** are both central defenders with excellent header ability.

Therefore, unless the cross hits the Arsenal player's head, the Arsenal player will not be able to complete the header at all.

"Reyes, Van Persie came out to meet ... Van Persie received the ball, Van Persie was blocked by Mascherano and couldn't find room for the pass. Van Persie, passed the ball back to Fabregas, Fabregas Bregas reorganized the attack."

Loop, loop endlessly.

Fabregas passed the ball in, and after the cooperation of the players in the frontcourt, there was always no chance to attack or shoot.The result is that the ball goes back to the midfield again, and then the midfield continues to build the attack.The ball can't find room to get in at all.Henry, as Arsenal's number one star, completely missed the chance to shoot in front.This is very rare for a team like Arsenal.

After Lambert scored, West Ham immediately recovered.

Started to play a defensive counterattack.

This time West Ham's defensive counterattack is completely different from the previous West Ham's defensive counterattack.Last season, West Ham played a defensive counterattack because the defensive players were not strong enough and were forced to play a defensive counterattack.In fact, Chen Ping himself did not do too much research on defensive tactics.

Although he also understands defensive deployment, it is more about taking advantage of numbers to defend.

Also known as intensive defense.

It's the "busting" that many coaches crazily sprayed.This kind of defensive arrangement is the easiest, as long as the players shrink within 30 meters of their own penalty area and use the numerical advantage to defend.Because of the large number of people,

You can use the human wall to block the offensive space.But this kind of defense is the most valuable.

Although it is not easy for a strong team to break through a dense defense, a strong team with experience and strength is not very afraid of such a dense defense.Because as long as you are a person, you will doze off, and it is impossible to maintain concentration for nine to ten minutes.

With intensive defense, players are easily fatigued.This is especially true for defensive players on weaker teams.

As long as the strong teams stay calm and look for opportunities slowly, they still have a great chance of breaking the opponent's goal.The most fearful thing in the face of intensive defense is not being able to calm down.Once the strong team can't hold back, then give the opponent a chance.

West Ham's defensive counterattack this season is completely different from last season.

Not relying on the advantage of numbers, but relying on cutting space.The cutting space uses the players' positions and the players' coordinated running. This is already a highly technical defense.Just like the People's Liberation Army's "three-three system" infantry assault tactics.

The previous intensive defense relied on piling up people, blocking the space with people in a small space, which is a kind of ***.But the current defensive tactics, with a small number of players, can block the space.The result is a space that would have required five men to defend, but now only three men are needed.The three of them controlled this space with excellent positioning, as well as the distance, running, and coordination between the three players.

Although the number of defensive players in this tactic is smaller, the division and control of space is not weaker than dense defense at all.

Whenever Arsenal prepares to attack, they feel that there is no space to pass the ball.

"Henry, Henry passed Tevez's block, and Henry went to the middle. There was Carrick in front of Henry, and the West Ham players reacted quickly, and Henry was surrounded within a small area. Henry has already entered the forward space , Mascherano broke Henry's ball."

"Cesc Fabregas, the half lob ... Pepe, Pepe stepped up and headed the ball."

"It seems that Arsenal's offense is absolutely the best way to face West Ham's defense. Arsenal has tried many offensive methods, but they have all been effective. From the start of the game to now, Arsenal have never had an effective shot. West Ham Mu's defensive level is clear, the player's position is very clear, the player's movement is even more clear, the division of the area space is very good, and it does not give Arsenal a real chance at all."

The game has been going on for almost 10 minutes.

Except for West Ham's lightning goal at the beginning of the game, the game as a whole was relatively dull, and there were not many exciting scenes.It was always Arsenal attacking and West Ham defending.But Mortensen and Lineker's commentary was not dull at all. On the contrary, the commentary of the two of them was quite exciting.

They have been analyzing the situation of the game.

Lineker even said: "John (Mortensen), you have found that West Ham's defensive formation is very special. When they adopted a defensive counterattack last season, they used nearly ten players in front of the goal. In the area of ​​30 meters, defending with a numerical advantage is the dense defense used by weak teams. But look at West Ham's defense today, the player density is far less than last season. But every time Arsenal attack, you You will feel that Arsenal’s ball-handling players are surrounded by West Ham players, and they simply occupy the space for passing the ball. West Ham players can not only control the space as a whole, but also quickly form an advantage locally.”

"Yes. West Ham's defense today is very special, the players are not as dense as before, but the effect is very good."

Mortensen nodded.

Mortensen is a well-known football commentator in England, and he can also be said to be an excellent football commentator. He has watched countless games.And Lineker is even more famous in English football.Therefore, both of them must have a deep understanding of football.

It was just a game, and within a few 10 minutes, the two of them had already seen many different things.

Mortensen continued: "At present, the outstanding defensive coaches in European football all have their own defensive tactics. Coach Mourinho and Benitez have their own unique skills. Judging from the situation last season, Compared with these coaches, Coach Chen Ping is not a very good defensive coach. Coach Chen Ping is more familiar with the changes of the 4-4-2 formation, and is best at targeted play against opponents, as well as in the game. Resilience. But looking at today's game, West Ham's defensive organization is well-organized. Coach Chen Ping has greatly improved his defensive level this year. Look at how he trained West Ham. West Ham's strength is already very strong. This season A favorable candidate for the Premier League title. Now that West Ham's defensive ability has greatly increased, West Ham must have a great chance of winning the championship again."

"The Art of Defense."

Lineker was full of admiration.

Said: "John, West Ham's current defensive tactics are very special. I have never seen their positioning and running defense. If this is not an accident, of course I don't think it is an accident. Then it means This is a defensive tactic conceived by Coach Chen Ping himself. Up to now, this defensive tactic has been very successful, and Arsenal won't get any chance at all."
