9战全胜!逆天马竞杀无赦 复刻英阿战经典任意球

马竞在本赛季联赛中和欧冠中9战全胜，这份战绩全欧只有巴萨可以比肩马竞。在对阵波尔图时，阿尔达-图兰复刻了98世界杯英阿大战时萨内蒂的经典任意球破门。

网易体育10月2日报道：

在本周末联赛结束后，就将进入新一轮的FIFA比赛期。本赛季迄今为止，五大联赛都踢了一个半月左右，只有两支球队在欧战和联赛中都保持了全胜战绩。巴萨取得全胜并不令人意外，红蓝军团本就实力强大，而且赛季前期也没遇到太多强敌。但马德里竞技9战全胜，却实在是令人颇为赞叹。在西蒙尼的调校下，马竞终于成为了一支气质沉稳的真正强队。

在西甲联赛中，马竞取得了7连胜的俱乐部历史最佳开局。在前6轮联赛中，马竞先后以3比1、5比0、2比1、4比2、2比0和2比1的比分战胜了塞维利亚、巴列卡诺、皇家社会、阿尔梅里亚、巴拉多利德和奥萨苏纳。在第7轮联赛中，马竞更是在本世纪西甲中首次战胜皇马。在伯纳乌球场，迭戈-科斯塔的单刀破门让八万名皇马球迷欲哭无泪。

在欧冠中，马竞也取得了两连胜。在第一轮小组赛中，马竞主场3比1轻取近年来热爱烧钱的圣彼得堡泽尼特。在今天凌晨的第二轮小组赛中，马竞又在0比1落后的情况下客场2比1逆转波尔图。值得一提的是，这场比赛是马竞本赛季首次落后，同时也是马竞17年来第一次在欧冠中逆转获胜。1996年10月30日，马竞曾在欧冠中客场2比1逆转多特蒙德。

算上上赛季各项正式比赛，马竞已经连续14场保持不败了。在联赛和欧冠中，马竞本赛季取得9连胜。在超级杯中，马竞两回合均战平巴萨，只是因为客场进球少而被淘汰。在上赛季国王杯决赛中，马竞2比1挑落皇马。在上赛季最后两轮联赛中，马竞战平马洛卡战胜奥萨苏纳。马竞上一次输掉比赛，还要追溯到上赛季第36轮中，当时床单军团1比2败走诺坎普。

在今夜的巨龙球场，马竞其实赢得相当艰难。杰克逊-马丁内斯早早就利用一次头球冲顶为波尔图打破僵局，戈丁直到第58分钟才利用定位球破门。加比右路任意球传中，戈丁禁区中路高高跃起头球破门。

迭戈-科斯塔没有随队出征葡萄牙，比利亚和巴普蒂斯塔奥都被换下，劳尔-加西亚则扭伤了脚踝。在巨龙球场，马竞其实踢得相当挣扎。但在几乎无人可用的情况下，西蒙尼却让马竞复刻了98世界杯时英阿大战的经典任意球配合。在98世界杯英阿大战中，贝隆中路任意球假射真传，萨内蒂跑到人墙右侧后劲射破门。

在巨龙球场，加比和阿尔达-图兰复刻了这经典的一幕。86分钟时马竞获得禁区前任意球，加比并没有选择射门，而是将球传给了跑到人墙右侧的阿尔达-图兰，无人盯防的土耳其人近距离抽射破门。98年时，西蒙尼以球员身份目睹了贝隆和萨内蒂的配合。现在，西蒙尼以教练身份复刻经典。

看了那波里客场pk阿森纳以及曼城主场pk拜仁，再比较马竞连克皇马和波尔图，发现教练与球队结合得最好还是西蒙尼和床单军团大汉们。贝尼特斯对温格、佩莱格里尼对瓜，温格和瓜都占上风，不知现在马竞有机会碰拜仁吗，很想看看欧洲最能攻城略地的拜仁，面对马竞近身肉搏打法时还能如此潇洒吗？

欧冠赛场惊现98世界杯经典 无锋马竞争议险胜
体坛周报 武一帆2013-10-04 08:16

记者武一帆西班牙报道

很艰难，有争议，但马竞依旧前进。在巨龙球场逆转波尔图绝非易事，何况西蒙尼手中没有王牌射手迭戈·科斯塔，甚至最后20分钟连正牌前锋都没有。一点运气加一点创造力，无锋马竞在最凶险的客场拿下了最危险的对手。

上赛季欧联杯小组赛末轮对阵比尔森胜利，迭戈·科斯塔头撞对手吃到红牌，被欧足联禁赛4场，因此错过本赛季欧冠前两轮。首轮迎战圣彼得堡泽尼特，西蒙尼让比利亚和阿德里安首发，马竞3比1胜出。可惜阿德里安因颧骨骨折缺席做客波尔图，西蒙尼派遣小将巴普蒂斯唐与比利亚搭档锋线。

与在西甲顺风顺水不同，马竞在巨龙球场遭当头棒喝。由于后腰马里奥·苏亚雷斯膝部韧带受伤，蒂亚戈与加比忙于防守，无暇组织进攻，马竞中场传递频繁断链。胡安弗兰活动范围被若苏埃牢牢钳制，只得频频犯规保住右路阵地。

杰克逊·马丁内斯头球首开纪录，他的力量和速度不可阻挡，而马竞在进攻端无法做出相当的回应。比利亚上半场不见踪迹，缺乏支持的巴普蒂斯唐疲于奔命。中场休息时，西蒙尼果断做出调整，拿下比利亚，派上C.罗德里格斯强打边路，让身高体壮的劳尔·加西亚给巴普蒂斯唐做后盾。

戈丁的进球，让马竞在场面上减压不少。而当科凯换下巴普蒂斯唐时，马竞已是无锋阵势，但由于传球路线打通，此后进攻质量明显好于有前锋在场时。原本应在最后15分钟充当前锋的劳尔·加西亚，第80分钟受伤下场，没人能想到，马竞在最困难的时刻精心设计出了一场胜利。

1998年世界杯1/8决赛英阿大战，西蒙尼诱使贝克汉姆吃到红牌，此役另一经典时刻，是阿根廷凭借绝妙任意球配合破门。15年后，西蒙尼让弟子们复刻了当年他曾亲历的经典配合，加比扮演了贝隆的角色，佯装射门却将球塞入禁区右侧，图兰则像萨内蒂一样突然杀出，干净利落地将球送进大门。当年在场上目睹进球全过程的西蒙尼，此刻兴奋得像个孩子，窜到助手怀中。

马竞应当感谢西班牙的“敌人”，英国裁判韦伯。加比传球时，图兰明显处于越位位置。此役以平局收场或许更为公平，波尔图主帅保罗·丰塞卡在郁闷的同时，也对马竞予以肯定，“比赛结果对我们不公。不过，马竞确实在下半场抓住我们的失误，占据了上风。”

西蒙尼则对弟子们的发挥大加赞赏：“球队适应能力超乎我预期。我们从未打过无锋阵，今天用于实战效果很好。足球原本变化多端，球员一旦被激发出个性、直觉和风格，就能在遭遇困难时打开局面。”他再次强调在巨龙球场取胜的重要意义，这是马竞自今年2月10日以来的连续第17场客场不败，期间包括伯纳乌、诺坎普和皮斯胡安等魔鬼客场都不能让他们屈服。队长加比赛后豪言：“我们绝不满足于平局，这支马竞从不放弃。我们击败的是一支欧洲劲旅，胜利带来了更大勇气

马竞在伯纳乌早早领先，并且接二连三地创造出许多上佳进球机会

结论段：

Carlo Ancelotti felt Gareth Bale wasn’t ready to make his first home start, instead using Angel Di Maria on the right. Asier Illaramendi partnered Sami Khedira in the centre.

Diego Simeone has rotated his midfield well this season – here Raul Garcia and Mario Suarez missed out. 西蒙尼本赛季对中场球员实行轮换制——因此，劳尔加西亚不在首发之列，而马里奥·苏亚雷斯缺席本场比赛。

Real dominated possession but Atletico always seemed comfortable, protecting their back four excellently and creating a succession of fine chances at the other end. 皇马控球占优但马竞总是很舒服，可以出色保护他们四人后防线以及在对方半场创造出一连串的上佳的进球机会。

94年四强之一瑞典队开了这种任意球配合战术的先河，但98阿英大战时并未觉得有雷同之感，而这次马竞用的这么直白，还是令人惊讶的，惊讶的是波尔图居然有人想示意裁判越位来企图抹杀一帮粗大汉的艺术创意。嘿嘿

若桑舞语

没有看到马竞这个球，不过98年阿根廷那个球精髓不仅是贝隆的似射实传以及萨内地的突然杀出，更在于贝隆传之前两名阿根廷球员（巴蒂和另一人）假装射门其实向左侧空跑，这把英格兰人的注意力吸引到了左侧，然后才有贝隆的反向传球。正是有这两人的跑动，使得这个进球与94年的瑞典人有了质的不同，实现了升华；也正是有这两个跑动，使得有些足球教科书把这样的配合称作：阿根廷式配合，而不叫瑞典式配合。

How have Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have modernized the traditional 4-4-2 formation?
重拾4-4-2——曼城、马竞的阵型革命
by Zaheer Shah • October 4, 2013 • 0 Comments
作者：Zaheer Shah • October 4, 2013



The 4-4-2 system is one of the oldest and most used formations in football. It proved a successful platform for many of the greatest teams the world has seen, and many different variations such as the 4-4-2 diamond began evolving. Soon enough, new formations were phased in to combat the effectiveness of the 4-4-2, such as the 4-3-3 and all the different variations that came with it. In recent history, only a handful of teams use a 4-4-2 system, with many preferring a numerical advantage in the midfield.
4-4-2无疑是足球史上最古老最常见的阵型之一。这一阵型曾铸就了许多球队的辉煌，同时也衍生出许多诸如4-4-2菱形站位之类的著名阵型。但好景不长，新的战术阵型例如4-3-3以及许多由此演化而来的阵型逐渐挑战了4-4-2的主流地位。看看近几年的世界足坛就不难发现，除了少数球队仍坚持4-4-2外，因为这些球队大部分更倾向于在中场占有人数优势。

The “Traditional” 4-4-2 Formation: 传统4-4-2阵型

A very simple formation, the system’s advantages lay in having a very structured defensive shape (two banks of four), as well as having a combined threat of two strikers. The emphasis of the attack lies in the wide areas where the wingers and fullbacks can combine in order to provide crosses for the two strikers.
这是一个简单明了的阵型，它的优点在于保持防守端阵型紧凑（两条线各有四名球员）的同时，在进攻端留有两个攻击点。该阵型将进攻重心放在了边路，边路球员和后卫可以相互配合向两名前锋输送炮弹。

The formation evolved through time, but so much in the overall basic shape but the roles within them which altered the shape when attacking, for example, the use of the wide players. When the 4-4-2 formation was at its peak, the use of the wingers were to provide width and service from wide areas, however that soon changed to having one winger providing width and one coming infield to play “between the lines” behind the strikers. Arsenal’s “Invincibles” team used a 4-4-2 formation; however both wingers played relatively centrally and looked to score as many as they assisted. Another evolution of the formation was the roles of the strikers, before they would look to both occupy the opposition central defenders and play within the space of the penalty box, but once again the focus of the evolution was to dominate the space “between the lines”, now one strikers would look to play on the shoulder of the last defender and one striker would drop off into that space.
尽管阵型在不断演变，但整体来说4-4-2的基本阵型没有改变，只是在进攻时一些队员角色的调整使得阵型显得与以往不同了，比如说边路球员。在4-4-2最鼎盛的时期，边路球员用于拉开球场宽度并固定在两翼活动，但不久之后往往只有一边仍在为球队提供宽度，而另一边开始更多地选择内收，成为潜伏前锋身后的“影子杀手”。不败赛季的阿森纳采用4-4-2阵型，但他们的两名边前卫都选择了内收，取得的进球数几乎与助攻数相当。还有一种阵型变化来自前锋队员的角色调整，从前他们经常寻找机会与中卫争抢空档，争取禁区范围的活动空间，但这一次变革的重点还是主导“影子杀手”区域。如今一名前锋游弋在最后一名防守者身边，让另外一名前锋伺机寻找该区域的空档。

The most important roles in the formation are the two central midfielders, their combination and the balance they provide to the rest of the team. In previous years, especially in England, many have expected the central midfielders to be dynamic, box to box and be capable of scoring goals. Frank Lampard, Chelsea’s record goal scorer, made the role famous by making late runs into attacking areas and scoring.
无论是哪种变型，4-4-2最重要的莫过于两名中前卫，包括他们之间的配合以及为全队攻防提供的平衡。前些年，尤其在英格兰，中前卫被要求具有全面性，既要能覆盖到本方和对方禁区，又要有得分能力。切尔西队史进球纪录的保持者兰帕德，就以他出色的后排插上得分能力定义了中前卫这一位置。

Why Did It Phase Out? 走下神坛

The formation, despite being very popular, was problematic once other formations came to the fore. The lack of central midfielders compared to the 4-3-3 meant that the 4-4-2 struggled to compete in midfield. The first solution was to drop one of the strikers back into deeper areas but the obvious problem with that is mind-set. Once the 4-3-3 formation and its variations became the norm, the 4-4-2 had nowhere to go but consigned to the history books.
尽管风靡一时，但4-4-2阵型免不了受到新阵型的冲击。在与433阵型交手时，4-4-2阵型总会受困于中场人数上的劣势。一种解决办法是撤回一名前锋，不过这种办法仅仅是纸上谈兵。随着433阵型以及各种由433衍生出来的阵型逐渐成为主流，4-4-2阵型只能接受走下神坛的命运。

Adopt, Adapt, And Evolve: 改进、适应与进化

The best thing for tactically astute managers to do was to try and adopt other roles from various formations and utilise them within a 4-4-2 system, doing this will allow the formation to adapt and evolve into a new style 4-4-2 that breaks traditions and creates a new place for itself within football tactics. By taking advantage of the rise in attacking fullbacks, they would now take the place of the “traditional” wingers and provide width for the team; the wingers could then influence the areas in the midfield and potentially create a 4v3 against the 4-3-3 formation. The strikers would split into two separate zones and operate in different manners, one would look to exploit the space between defence and midfield and one would look to operate higher up against the opposition central defenders.
战术大师们的过人之处就在于，他们能够从其他阵型设计中获得灵感，从而运用在自己的4-4-2阵型之中加以完善。完成这项工作需要打破一些传统，促使4-4-2的适应与改进，从而重新让4-4-2在足球技战术上拥有一席之地。进攻性边后卫的出现能够替代传统边前卫拉开宽度的作用，而得到解放的边前卫们则可以支援中场，在对阵433阵型时甚至可以形成4打3的局面。两名前锋则将各自占据一片区域各司其职，其中一名负责在对方后防线和中场之间扯动，拉开空间，而另一名作为桥头堡与对方中后卫周旋。

The biggest change however, would come in the central midfield. The “traditional” 4-4-2 would look to the central midfielders for a mix of attacking potency and defensive solidarity. Modern formations have bred various “specialised” roles such as the archetype defensive midfielder and the deep lying playmaker. By breaking tradition and having a midfield pair looking to create balance and a foundation, it allows the rest of the team more freedom to operate in a manner which doesn’t compromise the team’s defensive stability. Rafael Benitez alluded to this during his time with Liverpool, by playing Steven Gerrard in wide areas, it allowed the two central midfielders to control and dictate the game, instead of Gerrard operating high up the pitch and leaving large spaces that can easily be exploited. Many were perplexed by this at the time, such as the tradition of the 4-4-2 that the central midfielder should operate in Gerrard’s manner; nevertheless Benitez went against the grain successfully. The 4-2-3-1 formation has a double-pivot model that has been replicated by the new 4-4-2, a double-pivot that controls games from deeper areas whilst providing protection in front of the defence.
4-4-2改进带来的最大变化来自中前卫。传统4-4-2要求中前卫兼顾攻防两端。而现代阵型则衍生出许多中前卫的类型，包括纯防守型后腰以及组织型后腰。打破传统并配置一对中前卫组合来寻求平衡与稳定，也使得球队其他位置的球员在不牺牲防守稳定性的同时踢得更加灵活自由。贝尼特斯在利物浦执教期间就已深谙此道，他把杰拉德布置在边路，让两名中前卫掌握比赛，避免了杰拉德前插时身后留给对手的大片空档。许多人在当时对这一做法不能理解，因为杰拉德的位置与传统4-4-2的中前卫相背，然而贝尼特斯逆势而取得了成效。他的4-4-2阵型成功地模仿了4-2-3-1阵型中两个核心的设置，双核配置既能在后场控制全局，又能为后防线提供屏障。

A Modern Transformation: 现代变形记



Compared to the old shape 4-4-2, this newer, evolved model has more focus on the central areas with both “wide players” playing more centrally and allowing space for the fullbacks to push up and stretch the pitch. Due to the left or right attacking midfielders not being relied on 100% for creativity centrally (due to one of the strikers dropping off), one of the attacking midfielders can easily move into the wide areas and create 2v1 opportunities or provide an infield outlet if there is a 2v2 and the opposition winger doesn’t wish to track infield. Unlike the “traditional” 4-4-2, the central midfielders now have the responsibility to control the game from deeper areas and allow possession to progress up the field, rather than take the responsibility on (like Gerrard) and drive up the field, whilst leaving spaces behind him.
与传统4-4-2阵型相比，改进后的阵型通过“两边内收”将重心集中在中场区域，允许边后卫前插打开纵深。由于左右两个边前卫在中路的创造力并非百分之百值得依赖，于是一个攻击型中场可以轻松的选择拉边从而形成2打1的机会，又或是在边前卫不愿内切的情况下在中路提供2过2的配合。不像传统的4-4-2阵型，如今的中前卫不仅需要承担后场控球并向前推进的责任，还需在推进工程中保住球权，而不是像以往那样杰拉德式的大步上前，在身后留下大片空档。

Cast Study 1: Manchester City 案例1：曼城

Prior to this season, Roberto Mancini played a 4-2-3-1 system and occasionally deployed a 3-5-2, but under new manager, Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City have favoured a 4-4-2/4-2-2-2. The squad was trimmed and rebuilt with this system in mind, although the squad already possessed many of the key components necessary. Manchester City have started the season fairly well, and have adopted a proactive approach to their game. They consistently have looked to take the game to the opposition by playing with two high quality strikers in varying moulds and two powerful central midfielders. Nonetheless, the two biggest influences on their approach are the attacking midfielders and the fullbacks.
在本赛季之前，曼奇尼的球队使用的都是4-2-3-1-阵型，偶尔会变成3-5-2。但随着新教练佩莱格里尼的到来，球队开始主打4-4-2或者4-2-2-2阵型。尽管球队已经具备了许多关键的元素，但球队为了新阵还是做了针对性的引援和调整。本赛季曼城开局表现不错，在场上总能占据主动。他们在场上总保留两名不同类型的强力前锋和两名强力的中前卫。尽管如此，他们打发至关重要的两点便是进攻型中场和边后卫。

Starting with the attacking midfielders, the usual pair is Jesus Navas and David Silva, both Spanish but play the game very differently. Silva is a more traditional playmaker who looks to receive in space, plays quickly off his first touch and tries to create scoring opportunities in central areas, Navas on the other hand in more in line with an old-school winger who hugs the touchline and looks to beat his defender with pace and deliver crosses.
球队首发的进攻型中场通常由赫苏斯-纳瓦斯和席尔瓦来出任，他们虽都是西班牙人，但风格迥异。席尔瓦是典型的进攻组织者，寻求空档、出球迅速，在中路创造进球良机；而纳瓦斯则是教科书式的边路球员，紧贴边线、利用快速的步伐摆脱防守，并送出传中。

City have two groups of strikers, roughly speaking, Sergio Aguero and Stevan Jovetic have the technical competency to play in tight space behind the main striker, and possess the pace and drive to attack space created ahead of them by their strike partner. Dzeko and Negredo are more powerful players who are aerially adept, possess very good hold up play and like to operate within the confines of the penalty box. Navas caters to the strengths of the more powerful strikers, whilst Silva caters to the strengths of the more mobile strikers.
曼城阵中大体上有两类射手，阿奎罗和约维蒂奇当属技巧派，他们紧随中锋身后、速度惊人，伺机深入由锋线搭档所创造出的空档；哲科和内格雷多则属力量派，他们擅长空中作业，拥有了不得的做球功夫，倾向于在禁区内活动。所以纳瓦斯主要为相对力量型前锋输送炮弹，而席尔瓦则主要为敏捷型队友提供支援。



The 4-4-2 system they have in place allows them to combine all these qualities, but due to the proactive nature of the manager, the main ingredient is the attacking fullbacks. Already this season, both Kolarov and Zabaleta have shown their attacking prowess, creating 8 chances between them in the 6 games played in the Premier League so far.
曼城采用的4-4-2阵型融合了以上所有战术要点，但在主教练攻势足球的打法要求下，真正的要义在于攻击型边后卫的使用。在本赛季已经完成的6轮联赛中，科拉罗夫和萨巴莱塔一共创造了8次射门机会，充分展现了他们的进攻能力。



With this system, Manchester City allow themselves the opportunity to take control of the “possession zones” which enables them to control the game (blue shade), and that gives opportunities to advance into the “scoring zones” which has harboured a lot of success in terms of goal output (red shade).
在该阵型中，曼城队员在控球区域（图中蓝色区域）掌握控制权，并向前发展至射门区域（图中红色区域），在该区域内转化了一系列的进球（译注：笔者漏掉了这张图，请看官们自己领悟一下）。

The wide areas are crucial in the Manchester City wish to play, with Kolarov/Clichy’s attacking tendencies, the penetration they offer on the left hand side alongside the width that Navas and Zabaleta provide on the right gives real impetus to the Manchester City attack. Having two strikers playing also provides a real threat in the box, as opposed to a false threat when only one striker plays against 2 central defenders. The block of 4 (two central midfielders + Silva/Nasri & Aguero/Jovetic provide the numerical advantage which combats formations such as the 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1. This is a key evolution to previous 4-4-2 systems where the weakness was the lack of numbers in the central area which meant being less effective on the ball.
对于大曼城向往的打法来说，边路区域是至关重要的。克拉罗夫/克里希乐于助攻，他们在左路的前插与右路的纳瓦斯和萨巴莱塔形成两翼齐飞，给大曼城的进攻注入一股强心剂。双前锋的配置也让球队在禁区保持了足够的威胁，避免了单前锋遭遇对方两名中后卫时的形同虚设。四人组合（两名中前卫+席尔瓦/纳斯里+阿奎罗/约维蒂奇）在球队对阵4-3-3或4-2-3-1阵型时建立了人数上的优势。这是4-4-2改进的核心变化，即在中间区域避免人数上的劣势，从而达到更有效的控制。

As stated earlier, Manchester City have looked to be proactive in their approach, which means taking control of the game through high numbers in attack, playing on the front foot and looking to sustain pressure on the opposition. In order to do this, the strikers are very important. In other modern systems, only 1 striker is accommodated and teams often use them as a reference point. However in this new 4-4-2, one striker can act as a reference point and the other can look to create overloads in dangerous situations, much like the attacking midfielder does in a 4-2-3-1 system. Edin Dzeko and Alvaro Negredo have both taken turns in acting as the main striker for Manchester City and both have operated largely within the width of their own box, this allowed Sergio Aguero to roam into wide and deep areas to create 2v1 and 3v2s in areas which will allow Manchester City to progress their possession into the more dangerous territories. The work rate of both strikers must be always called into question; one of the strikers (normally Aguero) should always drop deeper into midfield and allow Manchester City an extra outlet in order to build out of pressure. The disadvantage of the system is that a midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 for example, would predominantly offer a better work ethic and defensive awareness that a “second striker” in a 4-4-2.
如前所述，曼城采取积极主动的比赛方式，这意味着球队需要在进攻端投入大量兵力来控制比赛，阵型压上以保持对防线的压迫。因此，前锋扮演着十分重要的角色。在现代足球其他体系中，通常只设置一名前锋作为前场支点。但在改进后的4-4-2阵型中，除了作为支点的一名前锋外，球队还需要另一名前锋创造杀机，就像4-2-3-1里的前腰扮演的角色一样。哲科和内格雷多轮流作为曼城的前场支点，并在对方禁区内大范围扯动，而阿奎罗则可以向边路或是对方腹地移动，在局部形成2打1、3打2的局面，帮助球队将进攻推进至对方危险区域。不过两名前锋的工作效率常常需要被打上问号，因为如果一名前锋（通常是阿奎罗）经常回撤太深的话，那么曼城就需要另一个点来给对方施压。所以这一阵型的缺点，举个例子来说就是4-2-3-1的中场往往明显比4-4-2的“二前锋”更加明确自己的职责并更具防守意识。


As chance creation areas on Squawka, it is clear to see how crucial width is, and how this system has allowed them to utilise this forgotten area in modern football.
上图清楚的表明宽度的重要性，以及该体系是如何利用这条已被现代足球遗忘的走廊。

Accumulatively, Manchester City have created a total of 35.2% of their chance in advanced wide areas, comparing this to two more centrally focussed teams, Arsenal and Tottenham, they have created a total of 23.5% and 15.2% of their chances from wide areas respectively. Below is a comparison from Whoscored.com, comparing Manchester City’s attack sides (left) compared to Arsenal’s (right). Manchester City’s 4-4-2 system has allowed them to spread their attack to both sides as well as using their “interiors” to create centrally. Arsenal on the other hand are much more focussed centrally than City, however have used one wing in order to progress their possession rather than both.
统计显示，曼城队35.2%的进攻由边路前场区域发起。我们用两支注重中路渗透的球队来对比一下，阿森纳和托特纳姆热刺的这项数据分别为23.5%和15.2%。来自Whoscored网站的下图比较了曼城（左）与阿森纳（右）在进攻区域上的侧重。曼城的4-4-2阵型充分利用了两条边路，同时内切队员从中路创造了不少机会。反观阿森纳，比起曼城他们更多注重中路的进攻，但相较两翼齐飞他们则往往是在用一条腿走路。



In terms of their defensive standpoint, Manchester City play a higher line than a lot of other teams that look to deploy the 4-4-2 system. The weakness of this is that against a team that plays with 3 midfielders and presses high up, the lack of options in midfield can cause to a consistent loss of possession. By playing in a mid-block, Manchester City allow the opposition more opportunities to take advantage of the 3v2 overload in the midfield, if they defended deeper than the space in which can be exploited is much more limited.
从防守的角度来看，曼城比一般4-4-2阵型的球队防线更加靠前。伴随而来的问题就是，在对阵配备三中场和高压迫打发的队伍时，中场由于缺少选择导致经常丢球。只设置了一名中场拦截手，导致曼城经常给予对手在中场形成3打2的局面，但如果他们的防线回撤致使空档压缩则情况就会好一些。

Case Study 1 Summary: 案例1阵型小结

• Proactive approach to the game 积极主动的比赛方式
• Contrasting “interiors” who can provide width, or create chances centrally 内收球员的边中结合
• High positioned fullbacks 站位压上的边后卫
• Two different strikers who cater to different methods of attack 为不同进攻套路设置的两名前锋
• More focus on width than other teams who prefer central penetrative zone 与中路渗透截然不同的边路利用
• Defensive weakness if striker does not drop deeper due to the mid-block 前锋不后撤会带来防守问题
