Football: From becoming a god-level striker

"Manchester City's starting lineup...Guardiola has completely given up Kolarov and Sabaletta in the previous starting lineup. Indeed, the performance of these two players in the defense often becomes the opponent's breakthrough point.

This time, Guardiola has a system of three central defenders, Otamendi, Stones, Kompany.

Midfielder De Bruyne, David Silva, Fernandinho, Zhao Gang.

Three strikers, Jesus, Aguero, Sterling.

It is still Guardiola who likes the three-four-three formation very much recently. Jesus' ability to grab points and break through is very good. We can look forward to his performance in this game.

In this formation, Zhao Gang and De Bruyne appear as wings. Zhao Gang's defensive ability can retreat as a full-back to participate in the defense, but De Bruyne is basically not qualified for the work of a full-back.

In this way, Manchester City's defensive pressure on the left will be very high. It is very likely that in the specific defense, Otamendi will play as a full-back, Stoneskompany will double as a central defender, Zhao Gang will retreat to become a right-back, and Fernandi will play as a full-back. Neo also has a high probability of rushing to the left to help.

Guardiola's tactics have a very obvious feature, that is, the players' autonomy is very large, and the position on the field becomes extremely blurred.

This is different from the mainstream Arsenal style of play in Europe. In the Arsenal system, the position and area of ​​each player is almost fixed, just like a factory assembly line. This has the advantage that players can maximize their strengths and have a stronger teamwork ability. , Of course, at the same time football lost a lot of spirituality and surprise.

Guardiola's tactical system requires players with outstanding personal abilities. Manchester City's current players are all capable of playing multiple positions on the court.

This can ensure that Guardiola's complex tactical system can work.

Juventus' formation is almost the same as Manchester City's, three four two one.

At the top is the strong contender for the top scorer in Serie A this season, the small smoking gun Higuain.

Behind him are Dybala and Mandzukic.

Nicknamed Xiaomoxian, Dybala is handsome, has outstanding skills, can organize, break through, and divide the ball. He is also a very powerful scorer when necessary.

It is very similar to Zhao Gang's technical characteristics. In this game, we can watch the peak duel between the two high-spirited young men.

Four midfielders Sandro, Pjanic, Marchisio, Alves.

Three defenders, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini.

The partner of Bonucci and Chiellini is not only Juventus' defensive anchor, but also the backbone of the Italian national team's defense.

Goalkeeper, Buffon.

Italian gate.

Buffon should be the strongest goalkeeper in world football now. He is also the only player in the goalkeeper position who can compete for the Ballon d'Or in the past 30 to [-] years. His ability is evident.

Juventus' sophisticated defense has encountered Manchester City's crazy attack group. This quarter-elimination match of the Champions League is definitely full of highlights! "

Zhao Gang stood calmly in his own half, looking at the Juventus players on the opposite side.

Champions League quarter-finals.

Manchester City breaks the spell, starting now!

Juventus took the side and Manchester City had the ball.

Zhao Gang received the ball, Pjanic quickly followed, he will partner with Sandro to limit Zhao Gang.

When necessary, Dybala and Mandzukic will appear around Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang didn't stick the ball and pushed the ball to Fernandinho.

Then he stood on the side of the midfield and didn't move.

Pjanic began to move towards the center, while Sandro was always around Zhao Gang, paying attention to the passes and receptions of Manchester City players.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City did not rush to attack, but passed the ball back to try it out.

After all, the two sides have never formally played against each other, and it is not clear about the specific strength of the other party.

Everyone knows that Manchester City's offense is fierce and Juventus' defense is outstanding.

But if you really want to know what your level is, you have to stand up and fight with real swords and guns.

The Juventus midfield began to slowly move forward, ready to press.

Mandzukic and Dybala also tried to approach the center to compress Manchester City's midfield coordination.

Fernandinho meets Mandzukic and passes the ball to David Silva.

The pressing effect is not bad, Manchester City's formation is slowly moving back, Zhao Gang did not follow the formation, and the formation has become a strange three-three-four.

As a Juventus wingback, Sandro should follow the formation forward. Once the ball is stolen, he can get an assist at any time, but he doesn't.

He has been active around Zhao Gang.

After studying a lot of Manchester City game videos, Allegri felt that it would be more appropriate to arrange a special person to follow Zhao Gang all the time.

Zhao Gang strolled around, approached the middle, looked at the positions of his teammates, and at the same time observed the defensive line of the entire Juventus players.

Juventus' defensive line is slowly moving forward, and Buffon's position is also relatively forward.

This is a change in modern football. A long time ago, the goalkeeper's position was fixed in the small penalty area and did not participate in the team's offense. Later, a "traitor", Lev Yashin, ran out of the penalty area.

Leading to football tactics tilted towards the goalkeeper, changing the goalkeeper's inherent style of play.

Lev Yashin also became the father of the modern goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper's participation in the attacking style of play is gradually becoming popular, and Guardiola is the head coach who uses it to the extreme.

Therefore, in modern football, when the team's defense line starts to rise, the goalkeeper will stay away from the goal line in most cases, supporting the team's defense and offense at any time.

One of the best is the goalkeeper Neuer, who often appears near the center circle.

At this time, Buffon moved forward restlessly, ready to look for opportunities to support his teammates.

Facing his own half, Zhao Gang took two steps forward. Looking at it, it seemed that he was going to take the ball with his back in the midfield and then distribute the ball.

Suddenly, Zhao Gang turned around and ran back. Sandro paused for half a second before suddenly awakening and quickly followed.

Silva seized the opportunity, made a long pass, and flew directly to Zhao Gang's running route.

Zhao Gang looked back at the football, predicted where a ball would land, and accelerated forward. When the football fell, his knees were lifted slightly, and the football didn't even bounce off, and he unloaded it directly under his feet.

This kind of ball feel can be counted on one hand in the entire football world.

"It's a very delicate stop, it's really a treat! Let's watch this attack!"

Zhao Gang led the ball directly, ran across the center line, and rushed all the way to the hinterland of Juventus.

At the same time, Aguero was running in the middle to pull Juventus' defense. Jesus and Sterling were also watching Zhao Gang's breakthrough and pulled to the two sides.

There are Alves and Pjanic controlling the side, so Juventus defenders in the middle are all focused on Aguero and Zhao Gang, who is chug forward.

Zhao Gang, who was holding the ball, raised his head, and Aguero pulled out a gap in Juventus' central defense. Behind him were Sandro and Marchisio who were chasing back.

Chiellini was ready to step forward to limit Zhao Gang's advance at any time, and the players chasing by the Federation blocked Zhao Gang completely.

Zhao Gang had two choices, to give the ball to the running Aguero, but Bonucci kept looking back at Zhao Gang, waiting for Zhao Gang to pass the ball at any time.

While Chiellini is leaning forward, he is also ready to intercept.

Juventus' defense has a tacit understanding and experience, so passing the ball is likely to cause problems.

Zhao Gang took the ball, Sandro and Marchisio were full of energy and chased back frantically.

In two more seconds, an encirclement may form.

Zhao Gang turned his head and glanced at Jesus on the wing, and De Bruyne who stepped forward to meet him.

This glance made the Juventus players instinctively turn their attention to the left.

Similarly, Buffon naturally began to adjust his defensive strategy.

Just a prep ahead.

Now Zhao Gang and Jesus have not entered the dangerous area. Whether Buffon retreats to the goal line or directly attacks will only make the final choice after the attack comes.

Now he is standing outside the small restricted area and staring!

Zhao Gang accelerated forward, seeing the gap that Aguero had torn out, swung his right leg, and in the process of dribbling the ball, he suddenly hit the goal fiercely!

There is a distance of nearly 40 meters from the goal!

Bang!

Vigorously outside the instep!

Zhao Gang's best shooting method.

Stealthy, fast.

The football spun, shot across the sky like a bullet, and blasted towards the goal!
