"I have great respect for him because he can make players improve a lot. For me, he is the best coach in the world." - Guardiola "I admire him very much. I think he is a perfect coach. He is just like my father." - Bochetino "He is an open dictionary, while I am just a new book I just started to write. He is always a world-class master." - Simone When these three top coaches in football are all dedicated to one person with their admiration and praise, when Zidane makes a special trip to learn and observe his training class and takes off his hat when he sees him, and when Klopp stays in the player channel for a long time only to greet him, perhaps you will have a little curiosity in your heart: Who has such a lofty position? If we tell you that this famous football coach, who is the godfather of football, has only one major championship in his career and is currently coaching the promoted polo team in the Premier League, maybe this curiosity will become confused: who is he? He is Belsa. Kropp stayed at the players' passageway to greet him Idols of Guardiola, Bochetino and Simone Zidane asked him modestly for advice Belsa, an old coach who is over 60 years old and 60 years old, has been praised as "crazy", "crazy man" and "the most hard core coach" in the football world, which is amazing. Belsa's fame and "madness" also affect many aspects of football. "In my tactical dictionary, defense means failure." - Bertha Compared with reputation, status and influence, perhaps Belsa is more concerned with his own tactical concept. The famous coach who has been obsessed with tactical research for decades has always been famous in the football world with the concept of crazy attack. Some even quote Patrick Henry, the author of the American Declaration of Independence, "Give me liberty or give me death", and summarize Belsa's football style as "give me death or give me no attack". Belsa's offensive concept is fully reflected in his preferred formation. Belsa's most famous formation is the famous "3-3-1-3" divine formation. In this formation, three central defenders guard the defense line, one rear waist+two wing guards who can go up and down in front of the body, and one organizer and three forwards are on the attack line. This formation can make full use of the width of the court and cover the space of the court, and can also adapt to his almost paranoid demand for "control of the ball". 3-3-1-3 of Belsa Belsa's 3-3-1-3 formation was the most popular and famous period when he coached the Argentina national team from 1998 to 2004. In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, Belsa used this formation to lead Argentina to a record of 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. He scored 42 crazy goals, only 15 goals were lost, sweeping the South American division, and successfully qualified for the tournament. However, when it came to the group match of the World Cup, Argentina suddenly lost to England for the first time after a small victory over Nigeria in the first game. In the last game, it drew with Sweden, and finally it was out early as the third in the group. Only two goals were scored in three games and only one victory was obtained, which is undoubtedly unqualified. There are many reasons for the failure of the Belsa 3313 formation in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. First of all, the "1" (front waist) in this formation is very important. This front waist not only undertakes the key pass responsibility in positional attack, but also takes the responsibility of organizing and sorting out in the transition from defense to attack. At that time, the double back waist formation was very popular in football, which also restricted the single front waist; Secondly, Belsa's Argentina attaches great importance to attack and is also paranoid about the oppression of its opponents. When facing the opponents who put up an iron bucket array, the space required for this formation is compressed and the attack power is greatly reduced; In addition, there were also some problems in Argentina's staffing at that time. Double wing guards Zanetti and Sorin were originally from the side, meeting the requirements of Belsa to make full use of the width, but they could not effectively protect the center as well as Ajax's Seedorf and Davis (both from the middle of the midfield). Single midfielder Veron continued to be in the doldrums at Manchester United, while Belsa was paranoid about the single center, And let Crespo waste his time on the bench. However, Bielsa was not defeated by the defeat of this World Cup. After Argentina sent a contract extension, Bielsa made a comeback. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, he led Argentina to win all six games, scoring 17 goals and losing none, winning the first Olympic gold medal in the history of the Argentine football team. However, Belsa also left his post in Argentina. After three years of idleness, Bersa was invited to coach the Chilean national team in 2007. In Chile, Belsa still insists on his 3-3-1-3 formation. This time, he has achieved success. He not only helped Chile to qualify for the World Cup again, but also helped the team to qualify from the group stage; In addition, he also laid the foundation for the development of Chilean football. Famous players such as Bidar and Sanchez began to shine, and Matthias Fernandez became another example of South America's "classic avant-garde" after Riquelme The 2010 World Cup will face Spain, the final champion, and Chile of Bersa will also attack 10 people will also score a goal In 2011, Bielsa took charge of the Spanish league team Athletic Bilbao. In Athletic Bilbao, Bertha's football philosophy is no longer so extreme paranoid, and the Argentine "madman" has also made some compromises. In concept, he no longer sticks to the 3-3-1-3 formation, but uses more 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1 formations. On the premise of ensuring control of the ball and attaching importance to attack, he also begins to pay attention to the balance between attack and defense. This kind of tactical adjustment is a modification and transformation of his own tactical concept, and the effect of this change is also reflected in the achievements of Bilbao Athletics. Belsa's 4-3-3 formation Will also use 4-1-4-1 formation In La Liga, Bersa's Bilbao has experienced ups and downs, and has suffered a lot from European champions Barcelona; In the Europa League, Bersa's team was brilliant. They overcame difficulties and reached the final of the Europa League. In the end, they were defeated by Atletico Madrid and ranked second. In the process of promotion, Athletic Bilbao's double victory over Manchester United in the 1/8 final became even more classic. Belsa won two victories with 3-2 away from home and 2-1 at home in this match with Ferguson. The team's boldness and suppression of Manchester United on the scene shocked Europe even more. Herrera, who plays for Athletic Bilbao, sent an exquisite direct pass against Barcelona The center serves as the fulcrum and the wings are stretched out to make full use of the width of the court Expand the width from defense to attack After successful defense, quickly press on to attack Belsa's team can keep Ferguson's Manchester United within 40 meters After leaving Athletic Bilbao, Bersa moved to Marseille and Lille, and finally joined Leeds United, the championship team, and led the team into the Premier League, even becoming a dark horse in the eyes of many experts who can rank in the top half of the Premier League. The Idea of Establishing the Godfather's Status -- High Position Pursuit and Tight Organization In the pursuit of attack, famous coaches such as Cruyff, Van Gaal and Guardiola are not much inferior to Belsa, but Belsa still has a considerable position in the football tactical change, largely due to his paranoia about the ball right and court space, which is reflected in the tactics of high intensity closing down and strong integrity and tight organization. Belsa once said: "When the opponent gains the ball control, our team will exert pressure and always try to cut off their passing line at the position closest to the opponent's goal; after we get the ball, all players should also keep in motion to fight for space for the improvisation later." He also said: "If my players are not tired, I will not lose." The famous coach also wore this concept throughout his coaching career. In Bersa's eyes, pressing is not a kind of defense, but an alternative form of attack. This high intensity of closing down and the requirement for the integrity of the team is also one of the reasons for his frustration in his coaching career: when there is no suitable player as a support, this tactic is difficult to achieve the effect he expected. In 2008, Chile in Belsa faced the powerful Spain and made a mad closing at the beginning Look at the closing How crazy Until you make a mistake Even if you are behind, you have to grab your ball forward Athletic Bilbao of Belsa dares to press down on "Dream Three" Barcelona Even Iniesta, who is extremely skilled, wants to compete This closing creates a corner kick opportunity, and finally leads Barcelona through the corner kick In the 86th minute, Athletic Bilbao, who is ahead of Barcelona, is still closing in crazily Bersa Watches Athletic Bilbao Beat Manchester United Even if it is the 80th minute, the striker will rush This idea of Belsa has influenced a generation of famous coaches. Guardiola's high position pressing+overall transmission and control, Klopp's mad grabbing+running and bombarding, Bochetino's oppressive space strategy and Simone's use of wingers are more or less the shadow of Belsa's tactics. When these famous marshals never stop talking to Balthazan, their hearts must also be filled with sincere respect for the mentor like old marshal. It's a "madman", it's also a "madman" Of course, Belsa's "madness" is not only reflected in tactics and ideas, but also a rather crazy person in life. As a tactical master, Bertha devoted most of his life to football. A few years ago, Belsa said: "In the past 25 years, I have watched more than 50000 games of video." That is to say, Belsa has watched more than 5 games of video every day in the past 25 years. At a press conference during the championship, Belsa was even more intimate: "In order to prepare for the match with Derby County (the opponent of the championship), my team and I watched the videos of 51 Derby County games, and each game video took 4 hours to analyze." At the release meeting, Belsa also showed the PPT of these analyses, The video of every Derbyshire game has specific analysis process and results. A champion opponent needs to study for more than 200 hours Belsa's craze has existed since he coached Argentina. It is said that when he coached Argentina, if the team lost, Belsa's assistant would lock him in the bathroom to prevent his emotional outburst. During a period of frequent kidnappings in Argentina, Belsa studied the video until 2 a.m., when he left, he was mistakenly regarded as a kidnapper by armed guards. When he was pointed at his head, he shouted, "Don't shoot! I'm Belsa!" Heraldo Martino, who once worked for Belsa, once reported that "once Belsa spent a holiday with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He spent the whole weekend watching videos instead of going to the beach. Even his father-in-law was recruited by him to help him make records." Another old player Gamboa also said: "I once said to Bersa, 'Professor, you study football 24 hours a day, and we have other lives besides football.'" Today, 63 year old Belsa still maintains this enthusiasm. At the beginning of the 2018-19 season, Belsa landed in England and had dinner with his former favorite and Manchester United player Herrera (accompanied by Manchester United general Mata). After the three sat down, Belsa picked up the salt pot and pepper bottle on the table and began to show 14 different tactics to the two English Premier League midfielders. When Herrera recalled, she still exclaimed, "Belsa is really crazy." Let the famous Argentine players practice heading again and again Training bottom pass Training cut in shot Training two one Training passing position In addition to his obsession with tactics, Bersa's spiritual attributes are also his outstanding characteristics. In football, Mourinho, who acts unexpectedly and has a strong belief in winning, is known as a "madman", and in this regard, Belsa is not far behind. At the early stage of his coaching career, he was the coach of the old boys in Newell, Argentina. After the team's 6-0 defeat to San Lorenzo, a group of fanatical fans smashed the door of Belsa's house and threatened him angrily. The crazy Belsa held a grenade and pulled out the safety bolt to scare away the troublemakers, while the reluctant Belsa held the grenade and chased along the street. At the wedding of Martin Posey, an old boy player from Newell, Belsa gave his own players a wedding gift, which was a video of the team's last defeat; Bersa also asked Argentinian legend Valdano: "Jorge (Valdano), if you lose a game, would you want to commit suicide?" This is Belsa, a fanatical tactical master, a famous commander with a dull life, a simple and complex person. We can't use these few thousand words to summarize his legend. We can only expect his Leeds United to shine in the Premier League and show the charm of the master to the fullest. (Long Song) [Details]
