What kind of tactics will Lazio’s nuclear-free tactics be?
This is difficult to sum up clearly, because up to now, there is no specific presentation method for this tactic.
Sometimes, it acts as if everyone can organize an attack. Sometimes it looks like everyone is the invisible emperor.
If someone thinks that multi-core tactics are nothing more than a few more modric and a few more Baraks, it is all wet.
Others think that Lazio’s multi-core tactics are how many players participate in organizing the attack when attacking.
In fact, Lazio is still playing football, which they are good at, but the core of the organization has changed.
If this is the case, then Lazio’s tactics are definitely not a revolutionary change.
It won’t make the Lazio team practice hard for two seasons, but they haven’t fully practiced yet.
Multi-core tactics is not so much a tactic as an idea.
What it changes is not a specific style of play, but the thinking of the participating players.
In the end, the perfect multi-core tactics should not stick to any football style.
Make the most appropriate judgment and choice completely according to the situation on the field.
For example, in the face of high defense, Lazio will use long pass to rush and hang, which is one of the optimal choices. Because the long-distance flushing crane has the lowest cost and the best effect.
However, if you think that Lazio will only choose a long pass to rush and hang in the face of high defense, it is all wet.
They can also use the fast pass to move the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt quickly, and then threaten your goal.
Sometimes, it looks like they are kicking Tiki-taka, sometimes they are kicking a defensive counter-attack, and sometimes they use a simple and rude long pass with good results …
They can change their playing style at any time.
And this change is completely untraceable.
As their opponent, you don’t know what they will do next.
In this way, it will be very difficult for you to defend because you can’t be targeted.
Most teams collapsed at this time.
A few powerful teams will choose their defense methods according to Lazio’s attack methods. They will also adjust themselves.
But this way of playing football that always runs behind Lazio’s ass will make them feel very tired and inefficient.
They may be able to keep up at first, but after that, they can’t keep up with the pace of Lazio at all.
In the end, there is no suspense to defeat.
This is the power of Lazio’s multi-core tactics.
The initiative is always in their hands, and their opponents can only be led by their noses forever.
……
Even Guardiola, who knows Lazio well, doesn’t know much more about multi-core tactics than the average person.
The multi-core tactics he knows are the ones analyzed and summarized by the media-in Tiki-taka football, there are only a few more organizational cores. Just like the literal meaning, it is multiple cores.
So when he defends, of course, the focus will only fall on modric, ledesma, Ballack, david silva and mario gotze.
In everyone’s opinion, these people are all players who can organize the attack. It is enough for their opponents to have a drink by taking turns to organize the attack.
Such multi-core tactics are hard enough to prevent, which must be the true meaning of Lazio’s multi-core tactics.
Some media once gave Lazio a name for its multi-core tactics, called "Hydera".
Hydra is a hydra in Greek mythology, a mythical creature in the West, which appears most frequently in ancient Greek mythology. Legend has it that he has a hundred heads, and if one of them is cut off, two heads will be born at once.
It is a very difficult monster.
It is really appropriate to describe Lazio’s multi-core tactics in everyone’s mind.
Every head is a core. Even if you freeze a core of Lazio, other players will immediately become cores, just like two heads will grow immediately.
So some media called Lazio’s multi-core tactics "Hydra tactics".
At the same time, it is a metaphor that Lazio is simply a magic cave, which is not pleasing at all.
However, Hydera is only a manifestation of Lazio’s multi-core tactics, and it cannot fully interpret Lazio’s multi-core tactics.
So up to now, Lazio’s internal appellation only refers to this new tactic with "multi-core tactics", instead of the cool-sounding name "Hydra tactics" given by the media.
……
Barcelona’s defense is aimed at Lazio’s "Hydra tactics", but they are only aimed at one form.
Of course, Guardiola doesn’t know this. After all, he has left Lazio for three years.
During these three years, many changes have taken place in Lazio.
When the game started ten minutes later, Guardiola was keenly aware of something wrong.
This Lazio team played so flexibly that he was a little confused.
It stands to reason that with his knowledge of Lazio, he knows exactly how Lazio will play.
This is also Barcelona’s advantage.
Because he will tell all the players in Barcelona what he knows.
But now, he finds that he doesn’t know anything about Lazio.
He thought Lazio was still playing Tiki-taka, but when he looked closely, he felt strange.
The concrete performance is that when modric takes the ball, Xavi of Barcelona goes up to defend him. At the same time, around modric, other Barcelona players also acted, blocking several exit routes of modric. If modric wants to spread the football, he may be cut off by them and directly fight back.
Especially Ledesma and Ballack, as well as Jose Passareira, three Lazio players, all have a Barcelona player beside them.
This defensive way of blocking the passing route was used when the two teams confronted each other last season. Both sides used this trick, so the defense of both sides was very targeted at that time.
This season, Guardiola has strengthened his attention to several Lazio players who can organize attacks on this basis, so as not to let them leave their sight.
It can be said that it is an upgraded version of last season’s defensive tactics.
This defense is enough to trap modric.
Force him to pass back, or make some mistakes to pass the ball.
But modric’s choice surprised both the Barcelona players and Guardiola.
Modric didn’t return the ball, and he didn’t take the risk to pass it to his teammates nearby. He passed it obliquely to the left!
Barcelona’s carefully constructed encirclement has lost its function. The football flew over their heads, and they couldn’t stop it even on the passing route.
This kind of long-distance pass with a length of more than 30 meters is rare in the Barcelona-style Tiki-taka.
Because the important feature of Tiki-taka is continuous and fast short pass!
