Character experience

"To shoot is to pass the ball to the goal", which became his favorite sentence. Before he took charge of Argentina, Argentina's football was known for its complicated coaching system and its refusal to recruit outstanding overseas players to the national team. After Menotti, Argentina not only won the championship, but also allowed the players to fulfill their contracts. Today, playing for our country has become an honor for all excellent players in the country. Menotti's most outstanding achievement was to lead the team to win the world cup in 1978. Menotti's first gamble is still controversial. He replaced Argentina's young star Diego Maradona with veteran Mario kemperth. His decision immediately caused an uproar, but subsequent events proved that his decision was correct. Kenperth was the team leader and scorer in Argentina at that time, while Maradona was starry in the second year's World Youth Championships in Japan, and the team's head coach was also Menotti. After hanging up his boots, Menotti devoted himself to coaching. In 1973, he led urakan team to win the only League Championship in team history. This club from Patricia OS has created one of the most gorgeous teams in the Argentine League. This is due to Menotti. Players like Hausman, Brindisi and bardington have not escaped his keen eyes. After the defeat of the 1974 World Cup in Germany, the Argentine Football Association decided to ask Menotti to coach the national team. And his most important task is to win the world cup in China four years later. In order to build the team, Menotti immediately focused on several experienced players, such as philol, pasarella and kemperth, and hoped that they could carry out his tactical intention. You know what? Menotti is not only a player and coach, he is also good at football writing. His works football: Juego, deporte Pro FeSi ó n (football: competition, sport and profession} and many of his works have been reprinted by the world's multimedia. Before the 1978 World Cup, Menotti threatened to resign because some clubs tried to recall players from training. In view of this situation, the club and the Football Association reconsidered their ideas, preserved the integrity of Argentina's squad and headed for the road to glory. Menotti is the first coach to lead Argentina to the world cup and World Youth Championship. "The effectiveness of our tactics depends on the players who have to be aware of what I have told them." Menotti later commented on the team. "A player who is not clear headed or in a state of confusion will never find anything." In the world cup, Argentina beat Hungary and France in the first stage, but lost to Italy, which forced them to leave the capital Buenos Aires. In the second stage, in Rosario, they beat Poland to draw with Brazil, then beat Peru to join Holland in the final. On July 25th, 1978, Argentina beat Holland in extra time. Kemperth scored two goals in the game, which made Bertoni the icing on the cake. Menotti deserved to win people's praise, and he himself was obsessed with it: "a lot of people didn't know that I came to the street after the game to celebrate with the fans," Menotti later admitted publicly. "I'm not going to be behind the team to celebrate. I kept my promise. Although there were not many people when I arrived, I still enjoyed the celebration. win with Maradona a year later, Menotti himself took the initiative to lead the youth team to participate in the World Youth Championships in Japan. Gabriel Calderon, a member of the national team who later became a player, told the following story: "it's an incredible experience to hear him talk about football," Calderon said. "He told us he coached us because he believed in our potential. The best thing is that he never lies to us. On the contrary, he is very concerned about the abilities of each of us. Every player has a clear idea of what to do and then finish it in 1979, the Argentina youth team came to Japan. They showed Menotti's offensive football to the world and left an unforgettable impression on people. Under the leadership of Maradona, Diaz and Calderon, they let the people of their motherland get up early in the morning and post in front of the TV. People are immersed in this, their gorgeous play ignited the whole game, Menotti's youth then welcomed the former Soviet team in the final. 3-1 defeat of the former Soviet Union in the final made this youth team the most brilliant moment in Argentina's youth football history. Maradona later recalled: "with this team, I've never had the feeling of enjoying the game so much on the court. It's all due to Menotti's work. " Maradona and the whole team were in low condition, which led to Menotti's handing over the coach of the national team at the 1982 World Cup in Spain. Despite his glorious history four years ago, Menotti quietly boarded the flight back to Argentina after losing to Brazil and Italy in the second stage. clear concept, smart passing, fast transfer and intensive competition are the concepts Menotti instilled in the team. His tact became the formula for his success in both European and South American clubs and later in media work. Things change and Menotti has become the spokesman of offensive football. In Argentina, everyone has their own views on football, which can be basically divided into two camps. One is that the result of the game is the most important, and the other is that we should play in the best way. The latter prefer to call themselves "Menotti school". Among the teams that Menotti has coached, the famous ones include riverbed, Boca Juniors, independents, Rosario Central, pernarol of Uruguay, Atletico Madrid of Spain and Barcelona. In Barcelona, Menotti and Maradona reunited to win the league, the king's cup and the Spanish Super Cup. After a rich coaching experience, it's no surprise that Menotti became the bishop of Mexico. However, in 1992, in the second stage of the World Cup qualifier in the United States, Menotti suddenly gave up his job as head coach of Mexico and embarked on the road of sports commentator. After spending a short time in Argentina and Italy, Menotti once coached Sampdoria for a short time. Then he retired completely from the position of football coach and began to devote himself to media work. At the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea and the 2004 Americas Cup in Peru, he worked as a commentator on a Mexican TV station.

Introduction to tactics

In the early days of his coaching career, Menotti always advocated offensive football, but the defense was very deep and risky. Although he also agrees with the view that "every player should play for victory", he always uses the resources of the whole team to create more scoring opportunities. He stressed the overall combat, in his lineup there will always be a skilled midfield organizer. And in his lineup, the most controversial is to create offside trap. His defenders often move forward as a whole to create an offside trap, but because the system is far from perfect, it often gives him a headache. Menotti is very clever to maintain his tactical intention: "the overall pressure will let you get more opportunities in the front court." As a whole, the Argentinian usually has four defenders and a defensive midfield. The other midfielders can get more chances to push forward, and deliver shells to two or three players in the forward line.
