To answer this question, we must first define what is a classical front waist. The classical front waist is called an artist on the court. They have strong personal abilities. The technical characteristics of the classical front waist are exquisite dribbling skills, good sense of overall situation, outstanding footwork and elegant kicking style, just like a gentleman on the court. Representative figures include Zidane, Rui Costa and Riquelme.

However, with the development of football, due to the progress and changes in skills and tactics. The living space of the classical front waist is getting smaller and smaller, and it is difficult for us to see this type of player on the court now. Even players with this talent have gradually transformed and changed the way they play football. This is an inevitable stage of football development.

Although the classical front waist has strong personal ability, its shortcomings have gradually emerged after the development of modern football. First, the rhythm of modern football is accelerating, and the conversion between attack and defense is accelerating. The style of classical front waist control rhythm is gradually out of date. Second, more and more emphasis is placed on overall football and diversified attack. For example, in the past, when Argentines wanted to recruit into Riquelme, the tactics of the whole team had to revolve around the rhythm of Riquelme, otherwise it would not play its due role. If he is in a bad state, the whole team will be in danger. This is contrary to modern football as a whole. Third, the defensive ability is weak. Modern football requires overall defense and all-around midfield or shadow striker, which is not available in classical front waist. Generally speaking, they are talented offensive organizations, and now their functions are more replaced by the lower back.

So modern football has gradually lost the need for this type of players, but don't worry, many of them have transformed well. Still excellent. Representative figures such as Pirlo. They have become the backing of the retreat organization, and it is no problem to match the configuration of a defensive midfielder. Another example: seeking development outside the court, such as Iniesta.

Modern football is similar to industrial production, and its progress is more fierce and faster. But you are bound to lose something, whether you like it or not. Is that different people have different opinions.

Football trends have changed the way players play football! Trend! Any industry is constantly adjusting and changing, so is the football project, which is changing in the direction of faster operation, tighter rhythm, fiercer fighting and tighter occupation of the field by players. On the whole, team fighting is emphasized, and the space at 10 is greatly squeezed under the trend of fast, concise and effective. After all, the speed is not as fast as the speed of the ball, so that the football can run efficiently between people, thus looking for opportunities to tear the opponent. As traditional 10 players, their style is excellent in personal comprehensive ability. They need some space to display their talents, but today's football emphasizes compressing the distance between people. In the situation of local high-pressure robbing people, the role of 10 is bound to be valued by more teams. If a team consists of only one person,

Moreover, the position of 10 requires high personal ability and talent. In the current competition, playing football next to a player in a team is not the best choice. In addition, the requirements for training players at this stage are not inclined to this development plan, and most of them emphasize the integrity of adulthood.

Marginalization! It is not only the classical front waist that is "killed" by modern football, but also … because times have changed!

Exceeding the "classical front waist" or "organized front waist" is rare in today's mainstream football.

In fact, various types of "front waist" are rare in today's football.

Even many formations (such as 433 formation) have no "front waist" position-except "side front waist".

So, who "killed" the classical front waist?

Let's have a look. The eighties and nineties of last century to the beginning of this century was the golden age of "classical front waist".

At that time, the "classic front waist" stars were skilled in dribbling and reading, and were good at mastering the rhythm of the game with ball control and passing.

They are artists on the football field, the absolute core, and the "midfield masters" of technical flow.

Midfielders such as Valderrama, Rui Costa and Mel are absolute organizers (Zidane has the dual functions of classical front waist and modern front waist).

This kind of kicking method can make the organized front waist have absolute possession of the ball, and can drive the team to tear apart the opponent's defense line with the overall situation consciousness.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the whole team attacks the organization and only relies on the front waist.

Once the front waist is in poor condition, the team will immediately fail and fall into chaos.

After entering the new century, football has become more and more integrated, the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and the competition for space is becoming more and more fierce.

Teams often gather heavy troops in the middle and backcourt to jointly encircle each other's front waist.

At this stage, "front waist" is no longer just a template for "organizing front waist", but a variety of types.

In addition to the "organized front waist" like Mel or Costa, there is also the "attacking front waist" like Kaka, which poses a more direct threat to the goal.

There is also a "front waist and back waist" like Pirlo, which allows organizers to get the ball in the back area.

There is also a "B2B midfielder" like Lampard Gerard Ballack, whose front waist is also a back waist, covering a wider range.

There are also "organized midfielders" like Alonso, "marginal front waist" like Ronaldinho, even "back front" like perrotta, or "defensive front waist" like Oscar.

In this case, the offensive organization of many teams no longer depends on the "organized front waist".

43 12 or 34 12, a "front-waist-oriented" tactical system, is becoming less and less common in football.

Instead, it is a 433 formation with overall play. These formations may not even have a "full-time front waist", let alone a "purely organized front waist".

So, who should be given the original task on the court?

You can use the "dual-core" or even "multi-core" model to dilute the concept of "full-time front waist". They don't have to stand in the front waist area all the time to get the ball like the second sister.

Like Messi Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo Neymar, free men in the center and frontcourt, modric Harvey, Iniesta and Benzema, they can also often enter the center position to get the ball and play more flexibly.

In this case, few people say that this is a pure "organized front waist" like Mel or Costa. Even "attacking the front waist" like Coutinho or J Ronaldo, it is difficult to gain a core position in today's mainstream football giants.

We can only say that with the acceleration of the pace of the game, football needs more "all-round" players, not "partial talents"

The front waist with single function will be marginalized.

Perhaps, at some stage in the future, it is impossible for the front waist stars to return to the mainstream.

Who do you think is the strongest front waist in football history? Welcome everyone to discuss together.

This problem should be discussed from two aspects.

First, there are fewer and fewer classic front waists. With the retirement of Pirlo and the aging of Harvey, there are fewer and fewer classic organizers who can be called masters. It seems that only modric, Iniesta, David Silva and others still live in our impression, but they are all over thirty. Braun, the only man in Manchester City who deserves people's joy, seems to have this feeling of classical front waist, which also keeps the classical front waist from being lost. Think about that time, the French team had Zidane, the Argentine team had Riquelme, the Spanish team had Guti and so on. This painting is really beautiful.

Secondly, with the constant updating of football tactics, the tactics of pursuing achievements, putting defense first and utilitarian football first are becoming more and more important, which also makes the classic front waist lose its market more and more. Some children may have this characteristic of classical front waist, but they will be denied because of the lack of other abilities, or they will be transformed into all-round midfielders. You can not only organize the attack, but also defend, tackle, foul and work with blue-collar workers. Players with front waist characteristics like Pirlo and Harvey should not let their position be further behind for the needs of the team. Recently, the midfield with good offensive and defensive skills and hard mind is more favored by coaches. In Mourinho's team, technical midfielders like Mata and mkhitaryan can't fight at all, while black and hard midfielders like Bogba are the mainstream.

However, there are also some technical midfielders in some attacking teams, such as Guardiola's De Braune, klopp's Coutinho, Wenger's Ozil and so on. They have also become a landscape in the utilitarian field of football.

This topic is half right and half wrong.

Half right first. Usually, when we talk about the classical front waist, we think of players like Costa and Riquelme. They have several similarities: they are mostly in the middle, usually the offensive core of the team, with strong ball control ability and accurate passing like scalpels. This kind of front waist usually has one or two centers as partners, mainly responsible for the task of transporting shells.

For example, the combination of Costa and Batty, the most classic picture of Florence in that year was that Costa pushed the ball forward and sent a precise pass after attracting the opposing defender, and Batty scored. This kind of front waist may not pursue speed and fast rhythm, but accuracy and precision are the first requirements. In other words, it requires extremely high passing skills.

So why does the classical front waist disappear now? This is determined by the times. After Mourinho's great success in the recovery of Chelsea-led wingers, more and more teams now choose the attacking direction of wingers, and wingers are no longer just looking for high-speed crosses at the bottom as in the past. Although the modern winger still likes to break through, he chooses to break through in the direction of the goal. Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robben, the superstars in the wingers, are not only marginalized. Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern, the successful teams in recent years, have all made great efforts on the sideline.

This makes the classical front waist awkward. First of all, winger tactics usually have three strikers, and setting up a front waist is not too extravagant. Especially in this era, the comprehensive ability of forwards is getting stronger and stronger. Is a great god like Messi a front waist, a shadow front or a center? Do you still need a front waist? Second, the classical front waist seeks a deadly pass with a sword to seal the throat, emphasizing whether individual ability will affect the overall balance. Third, and most importantly, the rhythm of the classical front waist is too slow to adapt to the rhythm of modern high-speed operation.

Then the front waist must be changed in order to survive, and strengthening organizational ability and even scoring ability is the best choice, so the topic is half wrong, that is, the front waist still exists, but their position is slightly behind, and even they perform the duties of the front waist on the side. The best examples are Silva and De Braune of Manchester City.

De Braune didn't play out of Chelsea, and his success in Manchester City was largely due to tactical problems. Under Mourinho, he was used as a winger. Although he also has breakthrough ability, his organizational ability and penetration ability are limited, and his talent has been fully released in the midfield system where Gua Shuai runs more flexibly and changes positions more frequently.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer classical forewaists, but the organizational forewaists will definitely exist, but they have changed their lifestyles.

First of all, it is difficult to cultivate the classical front waist, which is not difficult to understand. In addition to good skills, the classical front waist should also have good vision, overall situation and creativity. The technique is easy to practice, and everyone can hone their skills. Even if they can't practice Rui Costa and Riquelme, they will improve after practice. But many other talents are born, especially creativity. How to practice? It's hard to practice. You can only learn more and see more, which is a very empty thing. The so-called can only be understood but not expressed.

That is to say, you train ten players who you think have classical front waist ability. The last ten players may have the technical ability of classical money, but only one person can become a classical front waist. The technical ability, talent and creativity of the other nine people are not up to standard.

I didn't mean to belittle Azar. Azar is also a very talented player, and it takes hard training to reach today's height. However, is it better to train a player with a very European and simple style like Azar in batches or a creative player with a classical front waist? The answer is self-evident.

Let's talk about the second point first, that is, modern football tactics are increasingly unable to accommodate the "classical front waist." Quite simply, the main function of the classical front waist is to stand behind the striker, sort out the attack route, and use his creativity and footwork to send shells to the striker. His athletic ability may be poor, so he doesn't need to take part in defense.

But modern football tactics regard every player as a screw. You don't need to be creative, but you need to be able to run. This is because there are more players who can run than creative players. Most coaches can't come up with a classic front waist, so it is natural to design a set of tactics that can enhance the combat effectiveness of ordinary people. So no matter how the formation changes, modern football needs players to run more and more. A 10 km race is standard, and the Bundesliga's single-game running distance record this season is 14 km!

You know, in the 1950s, the average running distance of football players was only 4 or 5 kilometers, but now it has more than doubled. As long as one person in the team can't run, the integrity of defense and the rigor of formation will be challenged. So most coaches will give up the classical front waist. Over time, there will naturally be no such players.

Moreover, as mentioned above, the classical front waist can be poor in physical fitness and sports talent, but it needs good technology and creativity. But in the face of the tactical requirements of modern football, such players are likely to be ignored because of their poor physical fitness and play football.

After Riquelme left Argentina, he was frustrated everywhere. Only Villarreal can give him a world, because el madrigal can fight around him. But big clubs are all stars. Which coach will adjust the whole tactics for one person? Besides, fighting around you may not win the championship.

Is Manchester City creative today? Yes! But only if their players can run well!

Is it possible for Ozil to be closer to the classical front waist now? But what is the point that Ozil is often criticized by people? Lazy, not running, not defending. Therefore, it is the times that gave up the classical front waist. At present, no professional athlete can only run 4 or 5 kilometers per game and still occupy the main position.

When you first heard that Zhang Dashuai scored 100 in a single game, brushed 55 boards in a single game, and Da O averaged three pairs in a single season, your brain-filling picture must be very sexy:

But if you really watch these ancient wonders patiently, you may be too bored to sleep:

Of course, this contradictory phenomenon is not to deny the greatness of these historical superstars, but that a person's fate really depends on the historical process besides personal struggle.

If there had been a three-point line in the 1960s, the league's crazy investment in this super scoring method would definitely make a star like the Splash Brothers appear on the field 20 years earlier. However, a classic center like Zhang Dashuai, with a single scoring method and limited coping ability, will accelerate its demise.

If there had been a three-second zone in the 1960s, the league would have launched a crazy countermeasure research on this new rule, which would definitely make a maverick basketball insider like Porzingis stand in the league earlier. The data similar to the average triple-double in a single season may appear in the historical records earlier.

Similarly, this law of development also applies to football. Since 1980s, with the rapid growth of players' training level and physical function, the metaphysical dribbling skills, passing skills, tactical awareness and spatial awareness have undergone subversive changes. Including the classic front waist, many people remember the role of standing guard center, backcourt broom or accelerating extinction, or being replaced by other positions (such as Neuer-style backcourt broom).

However, in other words, you can see some flashes in other positions from the enlightenment left by the classical front waist to football. For example, the cooperation of forward retreat, such as the running of free men in the frontcourt. Perhaps, as Napoleon said, the classical waistline has become history, and history is a part that everyone recognized in the past.

First of all, it can be said that many friends have already said the key to this situation. However, I want to explain the mistake that some friends call Pirlo and Harvey the front waist. It is undeniable that Pirlo's debut is the front waist, but Pirlo shines in football because he pioneered the front waist, which means that Pirlo is actually an organized waist, not to mention Harvey's standard waist. In addition, Zidane and others are really not classical, but they are still relatively European and close to their great superstars. Riquelme is a typical example, as well as Belleron in Spain, Dejammet in Brazil, Vallama in Colombia, stojkovic in the former Yugoslavia and so on. I think these people are typical ancestors.

Secondly, it is the reason that everyone said. The upgrade of tactical play makes the slow-paced classical front waist incompatible with the current mainstream play, making the current classical front waist almost disappear.

Simple organization front waist and classical front waist are no longer suitable for the development of modern football. There is no pure 10 player position in the popular 433 system in today's football. With the development of football, not only will the classical front waist disappear in the future, but even the position of the front waist may be gradually replaced by an all-around midfielder.

The classical front waist is basically a player who accuses the ball well, passes the ball accurately and has a strong sense of the overall situation. Their only duty is to attack teams in series. Such players often have great technical defects, and their independent attack ability, defensive level and ability to tear open space are not outstanding. As long as the other side is heavily guarded, the classical front waist will be greatly reduced.

And because of their single function, the fault tolerance rate is very, very low. Once restricted by their opponents, they will basically be idle on the court, or become a machine to pass the safe ball. Not only oneself, but also relying too much on the team number 10, its attack will definitely get into trouble.

Ozil and Arsenal are living examples. Ozil, who plays at home in La Liga, has not shown the elegance of the European assists king in the Premier League. To some extent, because the Premier League prefers to use their bodies, the problem of poor competition in Germany has been exposed. Without Commander Ozil, it is difficult for Arsenal to attack smoothly.

Modern football emphasizes the anti-grab after losing the ball. Both Guardiola's 6-second counter-attack theory and klopp's frontcourt attack tactics require frontcourt players to have certain defensive skills. The classic front waist kicking method, popularly speaking, is the grandfather kicking method, which only does fine work, and the rough work and dirty work can't be done even if it is intentional, which leads to the tactics of the team's high position to force and rob. It is for this reason that emeri dared to abandon Ozil.

Another fatal wound of the classic front waist is the limited offensive ability. Better than Vallama, who scored only five goals in five major leagues; Midfielder Rui Costa scored only four goals during his stay in AC Milan. In his 20-year career, Lecco midfielder Belleron has never scored more than five goals in a season. These excellent former defenders are still like this, and the offensive ability of other second-rate former defenders can be imagined.

If a front waist player is not skilled in breakthrough and shooting, even if the opponent does not limit him to death, the defender only needs to judge his passing route, and does not need to make multiple-choice questions, which greatly reduces the difficulty of defense. A player who does not have the ability to tear open the opponent's defense line and score goals from a long distance is a paper tiger in front of modern defense.

Messi and de Braune are very threatening when they play in the front, because they can not only pass the ball but also score their own goals. Modern football no longer needs players who pass 100 and score 50 in other events. Hexagonal boxers, players who score 80 points in the goal, are all hot cakes in the eyes of the coach.

A weak football country talks about the ball as if everyone is an expert. Superficiality can pretend to be macro. What is "classical"? Please talk about the details. We must analyze contradictions and specific problems in all aspects. First, it's not that we don't use it, but that many players don't. The technology needed is too comprehensive, and there are many ways to organize attacks, which is too cost-effective.

Second, the tactics are richer now. In the past, the attack efficiency of the front waist organization was lower. It is difficult to pass the ball in a high position, and the star often can't get the ball in his front waist. Of course, once it passes quickly, it is an excellent opportunity to attack. So there are always two ways: a good midfielder and a strong center. They don't need to be as comprehensive as Zidane and Riquelme, but they can still play a tactical role. The former is the back waist that can grab the ball and divide the ball, but it is not as comprehensive as the classical front waist you said. They bypassed the other team's snatch, calmly distributed the ball and turned the team around. The latter is a striker and a post-center, with a certain speed, strong predictability and excellent stopping. If there is no such striker to catch the long pass steadily and suddenly turn the backcourt ball into the frontcourt ball, it is difficult to force the backcourt to pass the ball layer by layer at a fierce high position and move forward. Gao Lin has this role, but he lacks the courage and power in front of the door.

Third, tactical evolution. It is precisely because of the horrible performance of those superstars in the front waist that the high position in the front court was forcibly robbed and the beast's back waist was produced. The strategy is to control probability. I will force you to grab the ball at a high position, so that your core players will have less or uncomfortable chances of getting the ball, and your chances of winning will be even smaller. Now the beast's back tactics are out of fashion. After Xiao Bai, many talented midfielders, such as Ozil, Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo, are fully qualified for the traditional front-back work, but coaches often arrange them on the left or right behind the striker, which is not only convenient to get the ball, but also can avoid or mobilize the opponent's defense.

Fourth, the rise of the center. In the past, the front peak was double, the front waist stood in the middle, and the ball was divided around, so it was called waist. At present, the single front, with an extra waist standing at the back, is not called waist, but can only be called shadow front or 9.5.
