Henan team scored 12 goals in 4 games, Ramos is still looking for shortcomings: we need a more balanced offense and defense

1. Pre-match: Do not underestimate the tactical awe of any opponent

"Although the opponent's recent poor record, they defeated the strong team in the last round, which deserves our vigilance. " At the pre-match press conference, Ramos's speech was not despised at all. Although the three towns in Wuhan encountered league fluctuations at that time, they had just defeated the championship team and still maintained a strong offensive foundation (average of 1.8 goals this season). Ramos's caution is not redundant - he led the coaching team to dismantle the three-town tactics in one week: designing the "Lu Yongtao + Cardoso's double high points" set-piece tactics for his weak defense line; targeting his wing defense loopholes (the full-back assists and returns to defend slowly after returning), arranging the wing assault combination between Achimpen and Huang Ruifeng.

The preparation of "knowing yourself and knowing your enemy" quickly took effect in the game: Achimpen's header in the 12th minute originated from a precise blow to the air defense weakness on the right side of the three towns; Lu Yongtao's supplementary shot in the 34th minute was to seize the loophole of defensive inattention in the melee of the three towns' penalty area. As Ramos said after the game: "The seemingly relaxed result is the reward of repeatedly polishing the details in training. "

2. During the game: Let the tactic of analyzing the goal achieve the five goals of Henan team, each with the mark of pre-match analysis. Ramos' tactical design does not rely on a single star, but activates the offensive potential of the entire team:

set-piece three-dimensional bombing: In response to the problem of slow turn of the central defenders in the three towns, Henan team took 11 corner kicks in this game, of which 6 of which accurately found the high point of the penalty area. Lu Yongtao's two goals, one from a corner kick melee, and the other from a cross from a wing, perfectly fulfilling the tactical deployment of "using high-altitude advantage" before the game;

counterattack speed killer: When the three towns pressed forward in the second half, Ramos immediately adjusted his tactics, allowing Nasario to strengthen the steal in the midfield (three steals in the whole game), and Achimpen used speed to attack behind the defense line - in the 52nd minute, Achimpen's man-ball scored, which was exactly this kind of "midfield interception + wing assault" fast counterattack template;

substitute's combat power activation: even if he led 5-0, Ramos still replaced the young player to exercise in the 68th minute, which not only allowed the main force to rest, but also maintained the intensity of the offensive on the field. This idea of ​​being a soldier for all the players comes from his requirement that the main substitute should be prepared before the game.

3. After the game: The sober thinking that was not enough in the big victory

"Created a lot of opportunities, but I was dissatisfied with the two goals. " At the post-match press conference, Ramos did not immerse himself in the big victory of 5-2, but instead pointed to the defensive loopholes. The two goals of Wuhan's three towns all came from the counterattack of Henan team's midfield defense after being distracted - in the 69th minute, Saul's long shot was saved by the goalkeeper and Mendes scored; in the 90+6th minute, Long Wei's goal was missed after his defense was reduced.

This "don't avoid problems" attitude is the key to the Henan team's continuous progress. Ramos: "We can't just win by offense. Offense and defense balance is the foundation for going far. " Since the team beat Dalian Yingbo 4-0, Ramos has emphasized that we must seal the opponent's 12 goals and conced 3 goals in 4 games, which has improved the Henan team's defensive end. However, facing the counterattack of the three towns in the second half, the problem of defensive focus at critical moments still exposed the problem of defensive focus at critical moments - and his sober review is precisely to make up for this last shortcoming. Because Ramos knows that if the team wants to make a breakthrough in the FA Cup, it must pay attention to defense.

4. Foundation: Activate The transformation of Ramos' team password

is not only at the tactical level, but also at the reshaping of players' confidence. At the pre-match press conference, He Chao's words "Back to the familiar place, we actively prepare for the game", revealing the players' trust in the coach's tactics; after the game, Lu Yongtao emphasized "Thank you for giving the opportunity" and expressed the voice of the loan player - At the beginning of this season, Lu Yongtao averaged only 45 minutes per game. It was Ramos who saw his sensitivity to high-altitude balls in training that he included it in the starting trident and finally got a double hit.

"Every weekly training, I emphasize that there is no difference between the main substitutes. " Ramos's philosophy of employment has enabled the Henan team to form a healthy competition: if you want to play, you need to win playing time through training; and marginal players like Lu Yongtao and like him can shine as long as you seize the opportunity. This "talking by strength" atmosphere allows the team to always burst into combat power beyond paper strength during the game.

Conclusion: The real transformation hidden in the details is the highlight of Henan team this season, but Ramos's soberness is more worthy of attention - he did not attribute the victory to "luck" or "weak opponents", but to "training efforts" and "detail polishing", while facing the defensive defensiveness. This attitude of "not being arrogant or impatient, striving for excellence" may better define the transformation of Henan team than a big victory: from a relegation team to an "offensive team", it depends not on a miracle that can be achieved overnight, but on the control of tactical details day after day, the activation of each player, and the persistence of balance between offense and defense.

In the next round away against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Ramos' "detail philosophy" will usher in a new test - and as long as this soberness and concentration is not lost, the Henan team's counterattack story may have just begun.
