When Gao Han threw the doubts in his heart in front of Aragonese, the Spanish coach was filled with sighs and regrets.

Instead, Guardiola sighed lightly and answered the question on his own initiative.

"The competition is approaching, and there are more and more discussions on playing styles inside and outside the team, and the controversy is getting bigger and bigger. Although the team won a lot of games and performed brilliantly, one thing that cannot be ignored is that the opponent is weak and is too imbalanced in offense and defense."

"In fact, in many cases, although we have the ball in control, even facing a strong team like Brazil, we have the ability to dominate the game, and our balls are very gorgeous, but our offense lacks threat and efficiency."

Guardiola's words once again aroused Gao Han's deep thoughts.

Holding the ball often means slowing down.

When you encounter a weak team and are not strong enough, you control the ball and dominate the game. The opponent is the meat on the chopping board and slaughter whatever you want. But if you encounter a strong team, especially a strong team with stronger overall or better defense, it will not be so easy.

"I clearly remember that in order to prepare for the European Cup, we played a warm-up match with Italy."

Guardiola frowned and tried to recall what happened a year ago.

"In the first half of that game, we still pressed up to control the ball and dominated the game as usual, but Italy's defense was very solid. They were born to exist for defense. Their head coach was Dino Zoff, who specially arranged the defensive tactics in the middle."

"We were originally playing 4132. I dragged it back and Belleron made a front midfielder, but under the opponent's strict defense, I didn't get much chance. Belleron also had no room to play in the front midfielder position, so he had to retreat."

"In this case, although our two wings have an advantage, there is no threat. The two forwards in the frontcourt are even drowned in the opponent's defensive chain."

"But what is really fatal is that when our offense is difficult to create a threat, Italy has used its counterattack again and again to hit a large gap between our defense line and the midfield. If it weren't for the goalkeeper Molina at that time, we might have lost a crushing defeat in the first half."

Gao Han felt a little empathetic when he listened to the person involved's appearance.

This kind of strong attack cannot be defeated, but the opponent seizes the opportunity to fight back, has always been common on the football field.

"Because it was a warm-up match, the team changed their playing style in the second half, replaced Ngonga and Elgra, trying to reverse the loopholes in the first half of the defense, but in this way, our offense and ball control were gone, but the defense was stabilized, and then we took advantage of the opportunity of two corner kicks and scored two goals."

When Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What's going on?

"It was very controversial, but this warm-up match completely exposed so many problems, especially the two completely different results of the two halfs. Is it necessary to continue to stick to the previous style of ball control or adopt a more stable style of play? The competition is imminent, and this is a problem that the national team must face and solve."

This time, Gao Han finally understood.

"In the end, Camacho chose the latter. In the official roster, among the eight midfielders, Elgra, Ngongga and Gerard were selected, three defensive midfielders, plus one me, and the other four were Echeberia, Fran, Bellon and Mendeta."

When Gao Han heard this list, he understood that he had to compromise.

Gerard is from Barcelona's youth training and plays as a midfielder. He looks a bit like Guardiola, who has excellent defense and stronger countermeasures, but has weaker organizational and passing skills.

Because of his characteristics, he became famous in Valencia in one season and performed quite well. However, after returning to Barcelona last year, he was still depressed and unable to integrate into the team's playing style.

When things come to this point, it is difficult for both the national team and Spanish fans to blame Camacho.

For top competitions like the World Cup and European Cup, whether to achieve results or stick to style is really a dilemma.

Aragonese sighed with regret, then Guardiola continued, "It's not over yet."

"It's not over yet?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

Guardiola nodded.

"The opponent in the first game of the European Cup group stage was Norway. Kamacho still stood up to the public and insisted on the ball control style. However, under the strict defense of the Norwegian and the rough fouls, the national team performed very poorly and lacked effective means of breaking intensive defense. Instead, it exposed the defense problems of his team, and the Norwegian scored first."

"In the end, the first game, zero-to-one, lost to Norway."

Gao Han smiled bitterly again. It was like a rainy night.

"After this game, Camacho began to adjust the team's playing style, abandoned the skillful ball control before practicing, and instead sought a more balanced style. In fact, the team also defeated Slovenia 2-1, defeated Yugoslavia 4-3, and finally lost to the champion France team one-2 in the knockout round."

Aragonese said this, his old eyes fell on Gao Han.

"Although our media has always been picky and harsh, this time he is very tolerant of Camacho, so he was able to stay in office, but the experiment died. However, later, a group of old guys have reflected on and summarized the crux of the team's start and end."

Gao Han's eyes lit up, "What's the result?"

"First of all, it is the offense. One is the efficiency of offense and defense conversion. It always needs to transition from the middle to the side. It is too slow. The other is that it relies too much on Pep's organization and control. Once he is focused on guard, our ball control and rhythm control capabilities will decline significantly. Without rhythm changes, it is difficult to threaten the offense."

Gao Han nodded, Aragones's words were considered golden rules.

"In terms of defense, the midfield and front court are too high, but the central defenders on the back line are either old or not fast, so they dare not push up rashly, resulting in too long distances with the midfield and too large space. In addition, the lack of interception ability in the midfield makes the team's defense a problem."

If there are veterans on the defense line, the tragic situation of Atletico Madrid last season will easily reproduce.

Aragones said this and looked at Gao Han again.

"If I'm not wrong, you introduce Deco and let him retreat and play in the midfield to ensure that there are two core players in the midfield who can control the rhythm, hold the ball, and make the ball at any time, right?"

"And Marcos Senna, you value, has excellent steals and interception skills, but also has good ball output and organizational skills. These two players, together with Xavi Alonso, can ensure the team's midfield ball control organization and defense to the maximum extent. I should be right?"

Gao Han was now full of surprise because he was not until now that he truly felt how sharp the 4312 tactics of this set of reinforced concrete rhapsody are. This knowledge is too profound!

He, a newcomer, has a lot to learn.

Aragones saw that Gao Han didn't say anything, thinking that he had agreed and continued, "But I still have a problem but I don't understand it."

This time Gao Han suppressed the amazement in his heart, "You said."

"You let Mirsad Ibic off the back line and introduced Carvalho, plus Marchena and Pablo Ibanes. According to my observation, the speed and ability to defend the ball are not bad. The defense line should be forward-pressed, right?"

"I do have this kind of idea." Gao Han said bluntly.

After the front pressure on the defense line, the problem of excessive gap between the midfield and the defense line exposed by the Spanish national team can be solved, and the existence of the three midfielders ensures defense.

"As you arrange it like this, the defense is indeed stable, but what about the offense? Although there is enough ball control, how to solve the offense? The two wingers in the frontcourt rely too much on the insertion of two full-backs, which is huge."

Gao Han smiled in his heart. Zhisou was indeed Zhisou, and he could see the crux of the problem at once.

But he had already prepared for these things.

"First of all, whether it is Villa or Torres, his personal abilities are excellent, fast and strong impact ability are all pulled to the sidelines. Our overall defense line is pressing, and the pressure on the full-back is not as great as imagined, and..."

After hearing this, Aragones couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. This did make some sense, but...

“And what?”

"I arranged a player in the front midfielder position with personal abilities that are not inferior to Torres and Villa at all, and have a ability and speed that are faster and sharper than them in the middle..."

"What?" Aragones couldn't sit still and shouted in dismay.

Gao Han laughed proudly, and this is what he wanted.

In the new season, Atletico Madrid's trident will definitely shock everyone in La Liga.

"Wait, what you said is..." Aragones immediately shook his head again, "But it's not like, judging from the information I got from the warm-up game, Baptista is not a player of this type, is it..."

Zhisou opened his eyes and said, "Kaka?"

Oh my God, he actually found such a player with such a strategic value?

That's the middle of the frontcourt!

"Also, our defense and offense do not rely entirely on the frontcourt or backcourt. Our defense line is also in the ball control link, and the frontcourt offensive players are also within the defensive system. I give up my winger playing style, which is to shrink the scope and concentrate the superior forces in local areas, and impose pressure and pressure on the opponent through overall coordinated combat."

"Through high-intensity front-court pressing and pressing, grab the ball in the shortest time. Once the ball is intercepted successfully, launch a counterattack on the spot. If it doesn't work, then pass back and control the ball in the backcourt and reorganize it."

Not only Aragonese was surprised, but even Guardiola was stunned.

They didn't expect that Gao Han had even planned this.

No wonder he dared to sell Ugo Leyal and Zoran Nicos!

Fortunately, Zanburano and others laughed at him as stupid just now. In fact, they are the ones who are stupid.

Gao Han was very satisfied with the effect he created and looked at Aragones with a smile.

"You're right, Louis, this is an experiment."

Aragones let out a heavy breath, and then laughed, pointed at Gao Han, and said loudly: "You are either a genius or a madman!"

Gao Han felt that this was a compliment, "I also admire Bielsa very much."

Bielsa, head coach of the Argentina national team, nicknamed - Madman.

Aragonese is not surprising, and there are more people who appreciate and even worship Bielsa.

On the contrary, Guardiola, listening to Gao Han's words, made him excited.

Barcelona has been in chaos in the past few years. Even during Van Gaal's coaching, Guardiola felt helpless and weak in the midfield.

In fact, he has always longed for an environment to display his talents.
