Live broadcast on August 5th, Gil Ellis, the head of the women’s football World Cup Technology Research Group (TSG), who led the US team to win the two World Cup championships in 2015 and 2019, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, this paper analyzes that the Chinese women’s football team was defeated by the English women’s football team.
In Adelaide on the evening of August 1st, in order to limit the Chinese team’s counterattack and enhance the control of the game, England gave up the previous 433 formation and changed the 3412 formation based on “three central guards + two wing guards. In the game, Dai Li and bu Longze flew together, suppressing the Chinese team’s side offensive, while Lauren James, who was in a hot state, changed from the side front to the front waist and responded behind the two forwards, enhanced inpre-market thickness and fit.
Ellis said that the change of England team can be called “master-level” tactical adjustment. In this Cup, some coaches showed the characteristics of diversity and flexibility in tactics and formation arrangement. They have rich tactical reserves in the preparation stage and will make adjustments according to the changes on the field, making full use of the weaknesses exposed by the opponents.
Ellis said that as early as 2019, when she was coaching in the US team, she simulated various scenes that might appear in the competition during the training and conducted tactical and formation adjustment drills. “With the continuous development of women’s football, we will see more such trends. Because many players are already adapting to different positions and flexible tactics when playing football in the club.” Ellis said, “football match is ‘flow’, and it has never been a fixed form. Coaches who are more flexible in tactical setting and game adjustment are expected to be more successful.”
Ellis also said that the era of only adhering to the inherent tactical model of the team has long passed. Judging from the match that the German team was forced to draw by the South Korean team 1-1, the tactical adjustment of the German team was obviously not timely in the face of organized defense.
