Lose defence position is one thing, but don't forget we lose offense position either.
This is a commonly-used excuse of ignoring the importance of defence. In general, losing the offence position is much more dangerous than losing an offense one.
The offense position is not fixed. The position of fewer/no defenders and closing to their goalkeeper is the best position for offence.
Every coach begins with setting up the defence system before they start to set up the attack one. See what Chelsea and Zhuguanghu did.
Zhuguanghu makes the real Chinese team...
To get use of the width of field, the side defenders should step more forward.
(I think first of all, to use the width of the field, the ball should first go to the side even the side defender is still in the back. Breaking through in the middle is a double-edged sword. In any circumstance, attack is not the task for side defenders, just a PLUS.)
the Support from side defender (in 3-2-1) is to control the mid-field. Give the 1st-time tackle of our lost ball and then we can make the 2nd and 3rd chance to attack again. Not to wait for their offence. And also not to rush deeply down to the front field as a striker.
The biggest problem for our attack is that we can only handle the attack once. if we lose the ball or the opponents clear the ball, the players in the front field have no support from back field, because at that time, our defenders are keeping a perfect line, having a rest and waiting for our losing ball.
This problem is related with the rule of 'no-offside'. As long as there is an opponent forward in our half, at least two defenders will be restrained and the defenders can not push him back by offside rule. So when the ball lost in the fronthalf, our defenders will not leave their forwarder aside and rush forward to support the forwarders because once we can not get the ball, a long pass will make their forwarder face our goalkeeper directly.
So if the forwarders (strikers+middle field) lose the ball, it is hard to get it back since they are facing more defenders and without the support from back. So the common way to solve this is
1. Control the ball tightly and not get it lost
We are trying on that, but far from efficient.
2. Once lost, withdraw to our half and use our advantage in human quantity
If you let them easily pass the mid-field, it will be a considerable danger to our goalkeeper. Also, I don't see the advantage of our human quantity, if you don't have the ambitions to stop them as best as you can.
One thing we need to think about is "pressure".
Do you give enough pressure to our opponents?
And How can we release the pressure from our opponents?
The reality is we can not run faster than the dutch and we are physically weaker.
I think the best way to give pressure on dutch is to control the ball. Can they give pressure to us without the ball?

How to control? if the defenders stand 30 meters away from the players in front, do you think you can control the ball by precise pass or by dribbling yourself? |
