Red Rebels

666 The difference between head and fist

The confrontation with Curtis was definitely the most grueling task.

This kid is like a pervert. He is fast, explosive, very flexible and balanced. With a height of 88 meters and excellent jumping ability, it is almost difficult for anyone to compete with him in heading the ball. In addition, as he becomes more and more experienced The richer he became, the more he gradually abandoned his previous impatience and became more and more calm.

Almost a flawless bastard

Michael Johnson thought helplessly. He gasped frequently and large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

Although it was only a 90-minute confrontation, it actually almost killed him. He could only accomplish one thing in the whole game, and that was to keep a close eye on Curtis, but even so, he was still suppressed by Curtis. beat.

His body is so good, and his way of playing is very simple, even rough. He uses his body directly, like a tank running into a busy city, and he is invincible.

Michael Johnson tried to stop him every time, but every time he was powerless and could only watch him pass the ball. He felt very annoyed every time.

If I could be a little stronger, maybe...

"Even if I make you twice as strong, if you still don't understand the reason, I believe Jose still won't let you." Redondo's voice rang in Michael Johnson's ears.

At this time, the morning training session has ended, and there is another training session in the afternoon. The team will go to Birmingham in the evening. The two places are not far away. It can be arrived in more than an hour, and then take a rest and conduct pre-match training tomorrow.

There was no one on the training field. Only Michael Johnson was sitting in a corner, breathing heavily. Everyone else basically returned to the training building, took a rest, took a shower, changed clothes, and prepared to have a meal together.

Looking up, he saw his idol Redondo. Michael Johnson was speechless. He grew up under Redondo's theory and had unspeakable admiration for Redondo.

"Do you know why you can't suppress Curtis?" Redondo asked with a kind smile, already squatting down next to Michael Johnson while speaking.

Michael Johnson almost blurted out, wanting to say "I'm not strong enough for him", but even he knew that this reason was untenable, but he still didn't understand why he couldn't suppress Curtis on the training ground just now. ?

"I've always thought,

Every professional player has his specific strengths and weaknesses. Players who can become first-class stars, or even world-class superstars, are players who are very good at expressing their strengths, and they are also players who are best at covering up their weaknesses. They must Use the light of strengths to cover up the darkness of weaknesses, so that everyone will feel that they are the strongest.”

"The same is true for a team's tactics. There are no perfect tactics in this world, and there are no perfect players. The best and strongest tactics are to help the players, use their strengths to cover up their shortcomings, and then let the ball go. The shortcomings of the team's overall tactics are covered up by its strengths, leaving the enemy unassailable."

Having said this, Redondo couldn't help but admire, "The Red Rebels have done a very good job in this aspect. They can be said to be the best team in the world. Let any opponent clearly know that the Red Rebels have shortcomings, but they can't." But they just couldn’t find it and defeat it.”

Michael Johnson listened silently. He was not stupid, and he vaguely understood the meaning behind Redondo's words, but he still didn't understand it.

Sometimes people are like this. The truth is obviously very simple and easy to understand, but it always fails to get around this twist. Once someone points it out, you will suddenly realize, oh, it turns out that things are that simple.

"The reason why you can't suppress Curtis is because you don't know how to use your strengths. On the contrary, you try your best to show your shortcomings. You want to use your body to fight Curtis, but you don't know that this Using your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, even if you are twice as strong, even if you are able to overwhelm Curtis, what if you meet someone stronger than Curtis?"

Michael Johnson was speechless. He knew that Redondo had guessed his thoughts correctly and he had no way to refute.

"A lot of people praise the tactics of the Red Rebels. Do you know why?"

Redondo stood up from the ground and took a few steps forward. He seemed to be muttering to himself, but his voice was not quiet, "In my opinion, the tactics of the Red Rebels cannot be said to be the ultimate in technology. The ultimate in beautiful football cannot be said to be the ultimate in offensive football, but it is definitely the ultimate in IQ football, because almost every player on the team relies on this to play football and connect the operation of the entire team."

Redondo pointed his finger at his head. He has experienced the peak of Real Madrid, so he knows that with Real Madrid's luxurious frontcourt composed of Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Juninho and others, with elegance Compared to the elegant, mercury-dropping beautiful football, the Red Rebels are not as good as them.

He was born in La Liga and knows that the current Spanish league is very technical, especially Barcelona. From Rijkaard to today's Guardiola, Barcelona's pursuit of technical football is getting higher and higher. It can be said that it is the most technical ball control player in the world. A small team, the Red Rebels' football is inferior to Barcelona in terms of technology and ball control.

As for offensive football, at least in Redondo's eyes, the Red Rebels' football philosophy is to attack, but it is not a violent attack, but an attack in a more balanced situation, and Werder Bremen's crazy attack tactics Differently, the Red Rebels appear to be more balanced, so they are not the ultimate in offensive football.

But even though there are so many shortcomings, the Red Rebels' tactics are as graceful and calm as mercury falling to the ground, they are as delicate and controlled as any other team, and they have an attack that is so fierce that it is difficult to parry.

Many people say that the Red Rebels rely on the off-ball running system, but on a deeper level, they rely on the players' understanding of this system and extending and expanding it on the basis of the system. This then forms a unique style that belongs to the player.

As everyone knows, the system is dead. If everything is carried out according to routines, it will be easily restricted by the opponent. Only by being flexible and based on the players themselves can they be taken by surprise and the enemy will be unable to defend themselves.

So in the final analysis, the Red Rebels’ tactics rely on the players’ intelligence.

"The reason why you lost to Curtis was not because your physical ability was not as good as his, nor because you didn't work hard enough, nor because you lost to him in terms of strength, but because you went astray here." Lei Dong Duo pointed to his temple again, seeming to hate the iron.

"If it were me, I would not stalk Curtis. I would keep a certain distance from him and try to avoid direct physical confrontation with him, because I know that I would be at a disadvantage and would definitely lose. "

"Maintaining a certain distance allows me to get a wider field of vision and space. I can clearly observe his passing routes from all directions, and predict them to cut off all his incoming routes in advance. On the contrary, Once he has the ball, I will harass him so that he cannot control, dribble and pass the ball as he wants."

"If I find that none of these methods work, I will take a decisive step and either cut off the ball from his feet or commit a foul without hesitation, because I know that playing football on the football field is just like driving. Drivers who hesitate are more likely to have accidents.”

"In all the years I have played football, I have realized that this place will always be more useful than this." Redondo first pointed at his head, then shook his clenched fists and smiled.

"Boy, you have a good talent, but don't let yourself become Gerrard. Although I admire the captain of Liverpool very much, I still have to say that he was damaged by the football environment in England at that time. His talent was originally , can achieve higher and greater achievements, but now he has embarked on a road of no return."

Players who rely on their bodies to make a living are often accompanied by a lot of injuries once they reach the end of their careers. After all, such players are often overdrafted early in their careers, but those players who rely on their consciousness can often turn their careers around. Extended longer.

Gerrard has undoubtedly embarked on the road of relying on his body to make a living. Some people may say that his skills are not bad, but in the end, he still relies on his body to make a living. This is different from the youth training he received since childhood, which did not pay attention to Technical details matter.

But Michael Johnson is different. He grew up under the system of the Red Rebels. He has very good skills. His stopping, passing and technique are all excellent, which allows him to rely more on his own consciousness and skills. Come play football.

"Of course, don't let yourself become Cesk. I still feel that he is a little weak. As for what kind of path you can take, it depends on you."

After speaking, Redondo smiled and encouraged Michael Johnson, then turned and left the training ground.

Can't become Gerald?

Michael Johnson did not dare to deny that the outside world said that he was Gerrard II. He once thought that he longed to be Gerrard of the Red Rebels, but now after hearing Redondo's words, he gave up. Got this idea.

As for Fabregas, Michael Johnson is a competitor with him. He once thought about playing like Fabregas, but now he also feels that if he just becomes Fabregas, he will definitely not break through Spain. The shadow of man, he must become himself, become Michael Johnson

The youth training philosophy of the Red Rebels is to never think about becoming someone else, always think about becoming yourself, because every player is unique

Michael Johnson keeps this sentence in mind, but it is easy to say it but difficult to do it.

But this time, after Redondo's awakening, Michael Johnson undoubtedly saw clearly the new path in front of him.

He is only 9 years old and has a great future. He aspires to achieve higher achievements so that one day, when others evaluate a certain player, they will say, look, that guy is like Michael Johnson II.

And he will always be himself

In the confrontation training in the afternoon, Mourinho once again continued the distribution method in the morning. Michael Johnson was still the defensive midfielder of the substitute team, directly facing the main team, and specifically asked Curtis to press higher. Find Michael Johnson directly, obviously like in the morning.

But this time, Michael Johnson interestingly deliberately kept a certain distance from Curtis, but this does not mean that he gave up his space uncontrollably, but that he would give up his space in some dispensable areas. position, but his running was all around Curtis.

After avoiding physical contact and making space, Michael Johnson found that his field of vision had really broadened. Like all Red Rebels youth training players, he always raised his head on the court, so he could clearly see See the movements of friendly and enemy players around you.

When Fabregas took a few steps back and forth with the ball near the court, Michael Johnson knew that he could not pass the ball. At this time, he usually found Curtis, so he deliberately stayed silent and waited until Fabregas passed the ball. At that moment, he suddenly stepped forward, made a prediction in advance, intercepted the ball, and hit a counterattack.

A sharp long pass was passed directly behind Terry. This pass was very interesting. Knowing that Terry was not fast, and Pato's explosive power was very good, Michael Johnson's pass was just right. Pato just touched the ball and then entered the penalty area to catch up and shot.

Throughout the whole process, Terry was helpless with Pato.

This goal aroused applause from the coaching staff, especially Redondo, with a satisfied smile.

Intercept in advance and take advantage of the trend to counterattack. This is often when the opponent switches offense and defense. In fact, most goals in football matches occur at this time.

"It seems that your beating still has some effect," Cassel said with a smile.

Mourinho also turned around and nodded approvingly towards Redondo, with gratitude, because Redondo helped him create a proud disciple. Although Michael Johnson only found a little threshold, countless players have done so. He has never been able to find this place in his life. He is only 9 years old and his future is unlimited.

Although Michael Johnson realized something, he was actually still at a disadvantage in the afternoon training against Curtis. But in Mourinho's view, that was more because of Curtis's confrontation with Curtis. Michael Johnson is very familiar with and understands the system of the Red Rebels.

Moreover, Curtis' physical confrontation ability, looking at the entire UK and even Europe, how many players can compare with him?

Being able to confront Curtis proves that Michael Johnson has the ability to deal with Muamba. Mourinho never belittles his own players. He believes that Michael Johnson can do it.

Moreover, the defense of the Red Rebels has always focused on the overall system and the tactical system. Mourinho will not let Michael Johnson always be in a one-on-one confrontation. After all, that is not in line with the tactical settings of the Red Rebels.
