Things in the world are sometimes magical.
Everyone knows that the advent of live television has completely changed professional football.
But even after so many years, many people are still curious. When live TV broadcasts are so advanced, why do so many people still have to go to the stadium to watch the game?
People who like to watch football games live are also very puzzled. Why do some people think that the football games they see on live TV are really football games? Aren’t they just “highlights” carefully selected by TV cameras and directors?
Yes, that’s right. In the minds of many fans who are keen on watching football live, live broadcast is actually a carefully edited collection of highlights.
However, this kind of highlights is different from the game highlights that came out later.
Based on this logic, it is not difficult to find that the difference between watching a game live, live on TV, and highlights is ultimately the difference in viewing experience brought about by the different amount of information.
We are all fans, but the football we experience through different channels is different.
The broadcasting technology of the Premier League is undoubtedly very advanced. They will use the ubiquitous broadcast cameras to capture the most noteworthy information points on the field at any time, and present them to the audience and fans at the best and most comfortable angle, so that the audience can watch all the wonderful things happening in the game in detail, and even replay them repeatedly.
This is actually a kind of viewing experience that cannot be given on site.
At the scene, the amount of information is too great. The fans around the stands and the game in the stadium are changing all the time, attracting the fans' attention. Without a TV director to switch to exciting scenes at any time, fans will miss a lot of exciting things.
Sometimes, due to position and angle issues, fans simply cannot see what is happening on the field and can only follow the cheers of fans around them. It is even more impossible to replay the exciting scenes in a timely manner.
But at the scene, fans can get rid of the constraints of the live camera and can see the entire stadium. Although they will miss a lot, or even most of the excitement, they can see those players who are not in the live camera but are still running and fighting actively.
They are not wonderful, but they are indispensable.
Many scenes that look awesome in live TV broadcasts are actually insignificant when viewed live; there are also some actions that look insignificant in live TV broadcasts, but when they are viewed live, fans can't help but exclaim from the bottom of their hearts how awesome they are; not to mention, most professional players look a whole lot better in person than on TV.
This is just an individual.
Only by watching the game live can you truly grasp the entire team's formation, positioning, tactics, local coordination and many other details.
This is why, even though live television broadcasts are so advanced, every club still has to hire the best scouts to spy on their next opponent and submit detailed match reports.
Live broadcast, highlights, even if you just read the newspapers and website news, they are actually just different media, capturing different information and focusing on different points, but this does not prevent their audiences from having a common glorious name.
fan!
…
Gao Shen had a good position at the San Siro Stadium and a suitable viewing angle, but as a fan, he was still a little disappointed.
Long before the game, Lyon head coach Houllier described the match as "a duel between shepherd David and the giant Goliath", implying that Lyon was playing against a strong team.
But in the game, in the first seventy minutes, judging from the situation alone, Lyon even had the advantage.
Yes, you read that right, Lyon had the advantage at the San Siro Stadium.
Not for a short while, but for more than an hour.
Continuing the confrontation in the first leg, Lyon created many chances in the game, but there were always problems in the finishing touch. The two sides were 1-1 in the first half, but Lyon missed too many opportunities and suffered punishment.
Ancelotti's two substitutions in the second half completely changed the game.
In the injury time of the game, AC Milan scored two goals in a row and defeated Lyon 3-1.
But judging from the course of the game, AC Milan exposed many problems.
Gao Shen was quite disappointed because he did not see Kaka's outstanding performance.
Houllier specifically arranged for Mohamed Diarra to mark Kaka, and the Brazilian's performance was curbed in both rounds.
" What do you think?"
After the game, Gao Shen and the other two did not leave immediately, but started to review the game based on their memory.
"AC Milan's condition is not particularly good, the players' physical fitness is not ideal, and their age structure is also relatively old. I think that if they don't have a good transformation in the next period of time, I am confident that in terms of physical fitness, at least we will not fall behind." Buenaventura said confidently.
AC Milan is now also known as a team of elderly people. Veterans like Costacurta, Maldini, Stam and others are all still there, and some are even still playing as the main players. This seems outrageous to many people.
Of course, Gao Shen thinks that what is even more outrageous is that Ancelotti actually wins the Champions League next season with this group of veterans.
As a veteran, it is normal for him to have problems with his physical fitness and condition when fighting on multiple fronts.
"The weekend before the game against us, they will face the Milan derby. Judging from the current situation, Ancelotti is likely to give up this game," Gao Shen speculated.
Capello's Juventus has basically won the Serie A championship, and AC Milan is in second place, and there seems to be no suspense. In this case, there is really no need to fight to the death with Inter Milan.
"Next, I will arrange scouts to follow AC Milan. Fernando, you need to pay real-time attention to the situation of AC Milan. We need to accurately grasp the physical fitness and status of their players." Gao Shen reminded.
Both of them nodded.
Football is a war, and the most important thing in war is intelligence.
"In both rounds of the game, AC Milan's midfield was suppressed by Lyon, which is worth learning from."
Gao Shen suddenly thought of someone, "We also need to pay close attention to Ambrosini's recent situation."
The substitute came on as a substitute tonight, but to Gao Shen's surprise, he replaced Pirlo.
In this game, AC Milan still adopted a small diamond formation in the midfield, with Kaka in the front, Seedorf on the left, Gattuso on the right, and Pirlo behind. After Ambrosini replaced Pirlo, Gattuso moved to the left, Ambrosini played on the right, and Seedorf played in the middle. The three looked a bit like a three-defensive midfielder formation.
But just six minutes later, Ancelotti replaced Gattuso with Maldini, letting Maldini play as left back, moving the starting left back Serginho to the left forward position, and Kaka returned to play as right forward.
So, AC Milan returned to 4-4-2.
But it was these two substitutions that helped AC Milan stabilize the midfield, which led to two goals in the final stage of the game. The Rossoneri were able to reverse Lyon at home and qualify for the Champions League semi-finals.
When Seedorf played as a left midfielder, he was actually more assisting in defense for the left back Serginho, and did not provide much support to Kaka in front. Instead, it was Serginho, a Brazilian winger who had a strong desire to attack.
In his mind, Gao Shen repeatedly referred to tonight's AC Milan and next season's AC Milan in his memory. He couldn't help but find that Ambrosini was actually very important, or even crucial.
With Ambrosini and Gattuso on both sides of Pirlo, Pirlo was completely liberated, while also being able to ensure the defense of both flanks. In addition, by taking one man off the front line, Seedorf was liberated, allowing him to better assist Pirlo and Kaka.
Seedorf is a very comprehensive player who can support Kaka forward and assist Pirlo backward.
It can be said that the Christmas tree formation fully brings out the best midfield configuration of AC Milan.
But unfortunately, due to various reasons, Ancelotti is still insisting on using two strikers.
What AC Milan lacks the most right now is actually forwards.
Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Vieri, Gilardino and Amoruso.
The Rossoneri already have five powerful forwards who are well-known in European football. No matter which head coach is replaced, there is probably no way to say no to them, right?
Five forwards competing for one position is too inward-looking, so Ancelotti can only stick to the double forward tactic.
Of course, the main reason is that there is a retired emperor behind Ancelotti, oh no, it’s the retired emperor’s wife.
…
The trip to Milan was quick but very rewarding.
Especially after watching a game live, Gao Shen had a better understanding of AC Milan's tactics.
He is now vaguely beginning to form a rough outline in his mind, and then will continue to improve it, and finally wait for Ancelotti's AC Milan at the Bernabeu.
However, before that, Real Madrid will continue to chase Barcelona in the La Liga standings.
…
…
On the evening of April 9th, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Due to the tough battle with Juventus on Wednesday, Gao Shen made a large-scale rotation of the team's starting lineup, with Ronaldo, Baptista, Robinho and Cicinho all starting.
The four Brazilian players also cherished the opportunity to start after more than a month and performed very hard. In the 29th minute, Ronaldo received a through ball from Guti and scored the first goal for Real Madrid.
Afterwards, Real Madrid launched wave after wave of attacks on Real Sociedad, showing an offensive advantage that was rare in recent times. However, on the one hand, the Brazilian players had been away from action for a long time, and on the other hand, the team played with a rotation and substitute lineup, and the coordination was relatively unfamiliar, which resulted in the team failing to score again in the end.
Gao Shen once again got a depressing score .
The game was actually quite exciting, and Real Madrid had a lot of attacks, but they still failed to expand their victory.
But no matter what, it is cause for celebration that Real Madrid got three points at home.
Especially after several Brazilian players returned, they showed a strong desire to play and tactical execution. Even Robinho actively participated in the counter-attack in the frontcourt after losing the ball, which made Gao Shen quite satisfied.
After getting the three points, he began to look forward to news from Barcelona.
Rijkaard's team challenged Racing Santander away in this round and also rotated the lineup. The game time was the same as Real Madrid, but unlike Real Madrid's narrow victory over Real Sociedad, Barcelona actually drew with Racing Santander 2-2 away from home.
Yes, Barcelona drew!
