在淘汰赛中，比利时将会面对更加难缠的对手，马丁内斯相信球队已经准备好迎接挑战了。这篇战术分析会简单介绍马丁内斯战术中的一些优点和尚待改进的潜在隐患。

Offensive inefficacy

进攻低效

Belgium bagged seven goals in the first three games, same with Italy and only one behind of Netherlands. However, they suffered against Denmark in the second game. When Kasper Hjulmand’s men pressed with high intensity, the Belgians could not play out from the back to reach the final third, let alone creating the opportunities. It was a bit disappointing to see the team only registering one shot in the first 45 even possessing talents like Romelu Lukaku, Yannick Carrasco, and Dries Mertens.

在前三场比赛中，比利时斩获了7粒进球，与意大利持平且仅落后荷兰一球。然而，他们却在第二场对阵丹麦时遇到了困难。当遭遇卡斯帕·尤尔曼的球员们的高位压迫时，比利时人无法将球从后场传递到进攻三区，更别提创造什么机会了。对于一支拥有罗梅乌·卢卡库、扬尼克·卡拉斯科、德利斯·默滕斯等球星的球队来说，在上半场仅有一脚射门是令人失望的。

Belgium’s major issue was their occupation of half-spaces when playing Carrasco and Mertens alongside Lukaku. Without a holding midfielder, Martínez could only encourage the team to construct the attacks through the flanks. However, this also become a weak spot when the opposition invited Belgium to enter one vertical half and trapped them with the touchlines.

比利时的主要问题是，当卡拉斯科和默滕斯在卢卡库两侧活动时，他们确实对肋部空间的利用。由于缺少一名控球中场，马丁内斯只能鼓励他的球队在侧翼组织进攻。然而，当对手将比利时球员逼近边线后，这种打法同样成为了一个弱点。

Against high pressing, Belgium could not break with quality first pass. One of the reasons was the verticality of passes from wide center-backs to wing-backs. Their wing-backs played too deep, and inevitably, when they dropped, they received the ball with a closed body shape and an opponent sticking behind.

比利时无法通过高质量的一脚出球来破解对手的高位逼抢，其中一个原因出在边中卫给边翼卫的纵向传球上。比利时的边翼卫站位过深，因此当他们回撤时，他们会不可避免地在背对进攻方向且被对手紧紧跟防的情况下接球。

The above image shows Thorgan Hazard receiving with a closed body shape, hence, his visual perception was limited. Meanwhile, Belgium struggled to advance the ball in these situations because of not creating enough passing options for the wing-backs.

上图展示了索尔根·阿扎尔接球时的姿态，他的视野因此受到了限制。同时，由于没有为边翼卫提供足够多的传球选择，比利时很难向前推进。

Carrasco and Mertens often drifted to the wide spaces too early where wing-backs did not have the angle to find them. Then, Belgium lacked the occupation of half-spaces as suggested in the image, so T. Hazard could not pass laterally to evade the pressure. Meanwhile, Youri Tielemans was not supportive enough to provide a circulate option on most occasions. Passing to the Leicester City midfielder was risky as he was usually checked by the opposition. When the return passing lane to the centre-back was blocked, Belgium were trapped in the wide zones.

卡拉斯科和默滕斯经常过早地来到使边翼卫失去传球角度的边路。如上图所示，比利时在肋部缺少球员，因此小阿扎尔不能将球交给身边的队友来躲避压抢。绝大多数情况下，尤里·蒂勒芒斯并没有提供足够的支持以提供一个转移选择。由于这名莱斯特中场经常被对手盯防，因此给他传球风险很大。当回传中后卫的线路被阻断后，球队就会被困在边路。

Similar situations also happened in higher areas of the pitch. Sometimes the wing-backs and wingers rotated but the half-spaces occupation was the same issue. Here, T. Hazard drifted to the wide zone, but the passing lane was blocked by Daniel Wass. Tielemans was too deep to receive again.

同样的情况也会发生在前场。有时边锋和边翼卫会进行换位，但是肋部还是没有球员。如图，小阿扎尔拉动到边路，但是传球线路已经被丹尼尔·瓦斯封堵 了，蒂勒芒斯则再次因为站位太深而无法接球。

The only progressive solution of Carrasco was to find Lukaku but that will be relying on the Inter Milan striker’s physical strengths to hold plays. Another pattern Belgium might develop was the lateral third-man plays if they wished to enter the final third quickly.

卡拉斯科唯一的解决方案就是将球传给卢卡库，但是这需要这名国米前锋利用身体倚住防守球员来接球。如果比利时想要快速进入进攻三区，他们可能需要开发一下横向第三人跑位。

The antidote to this issue must be Kevin De Bruyne. The Manchester City star was phenomenal enough to invite the multiple markers, so he could open spaces for teammates. De Bruyne’s impact was obvious after being introduced at halftime against Denmark. He smartly roams into spaces between the lines to create confusion on the defenders – track or leaves De Bruyne free?

问题的解决方案必须得是凯文·德布劳内。这名曼城球星的现象级表现足以吸引多名球员对他进行盯防，因此他能够为队友扯开空间。在下半场替补上阵后，德布劳内对场面的影响是显而易见的。他聪明地游走在两线之间，为防守球员提出了一道难题——究竟是紧随德布劳内还是放任他在无人盯防的区域接球。

The above image shows De Bruyne occupying the half-spaces and spaces behind the midfield, drawing the Denmark midfielder deeper. As a result, Tielemans was freed from his marker to receive a lateral pass from the wide zone.

上图展示了德布劳内对肋部以及对方中场线身后空间的利用，他的存在使丹麦的中场落位更深，因此蒂勒芒斯可以摆脱跟防他的球员去接应边路的横传。

Their recent game against Finland shows us an optimal execution of the plan when Belgium could open the shape to play. Against Finland, they had more space to attack the opposition in the final third. The formation becomes a 3-2-5 and Belgium could create wide overloads to attack the channels.

当比利时能够拉开阵型时，他们在与芬兰的比赛中展示了一种最佳的战术执行方案。在这场比赛中，他们有更多的机会在进攻三区对对手发起进攻。他们的阵型切换为3-2-5，因此可以利用宽度优势来发起进攻。

Here, when Eden Hazard wants spaces, he would drift out wide and the wing-back – Nacer Chadli would swap to exploit the half-spaces. Very easily Belgium could create 2v1 overloads on the wing-backs, giving more options to the ball.

如图，当埃登·阿扎尔想要持球空间时，他会拉动到边路，随后边翼卫纳赛尔·查德利会换位以利用肋部空间。如此，比利时便可以轻松地在边路创造2打1的局面，为持球人提供更多传球选择。

 

Defensive worries

防守端的隐患

Despite the attack of Belgium had some problems in the group stages, they still managed to score seven goals with the exceptional qualities of players. Comparatively, the defensive issues are more difficult to solve in short term.

小组赛阶段，尽管比利时的进攻存在一些问题，但他们仍然凭借着一帮出色的球员打入了七粒进球。相比之下，他们的防守问题更难在短期内得到解决。

Since Vincent Kompany retired from national football, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen needed a partner to play in a back three. Currently, Jason Denayer and Dedryck Boyata were the candidates to compete for that spot. In our tournament preview analysis, we suggested Denayer might be the first choice because of having more game time at club level last season. Also, in the previous year, Denayer started with Alderweireld and Vertonghen as a regular option in international competitions.

由于维森特·孔帕尼退出了国家队，托比·阿尔德韦雷尔德和扬·维尔通亨需要另一名三中卫搭档。最近，贾森·德纳耶尔和德德里克·博亚塔正在竞争这一位置。由于德纳耶尔在俱乐部拥有更多的上场时间，因此在此前的战术前瞻中，我们认为他可能是这一位置的第一人选；并且在最近的国际赛事中，德纳耶尔也一直是阿尔德韦雷尔德与维尔通亨的常规搭档。

Nevertheless, Martínez played Boyata against Russia to combat the most physical striker in the tournament – Artem Dzyuba. The Hertha Berlin defender did his job very well, keeping Dzyuba silent throughout the game.

然而，在对阵俄罗斯时，马丁内斯派遣了博亚塔去与本届杯赛中最强壮前锋——阿尔捷姆·久巴对抗。这名效力于柏林赫塔的后卫出色地完成了他的任务，让久巴哑火了一整场比赛。

Boyata’s good performance was reflected by numbers as well. In terms of duels, he won 10 out of 13 against Russia, the 77% success rate was a very positive figure.

博亚塔的精彩表现同样可以体现在数据上。与俄罗斯一役中，他赢下了13次对抗中的10次，77％的对抗成功率是一个非常出色的数字。

In the second game, Martínez gave Denayer a chance to play but the Lyon defender was a bit disappointing. He had several weak spots that were targeted by the oppositions, while his error-prone performance might have been costly without De Bruyne saving the day.

第二场比赛中，马丁内斯给予了德纳耶尔首发出战的机会，不过这名里昂中卫的表现却有些令人失望。他的几个弱点都被对手针对了，若不是德布劳内拯救了球队，他可能会为自己易于犯错的表现付出代价。

Only a minute after the whistle, Denayer made a mistake by passing the ball onto a Denmark player’s feet. The situation was not irredeemable before the 25-year-old defender panicked. Despite being far away from the ball, Denayer forgot Yussuf Poulsen was around and burst towards the carrier, leaving the RB Leipzig striker to receive freely in front of Thibaut Courtois.

开场仅仅一分钟，德纳耶尔就将球传到了丹麦球员的脚下。在这名25岁的球员陷入慌乱之前，局面还并非不可挽回。尽管自己离球很远，德纳耶尔仍然选择冲向持球人，使自己身旁的优素福·波尔森在无人盯防的情况下接球直面蒂博·库尔图瓦。

The screenshot was the moment of Denayer’s poor defensive decision. You could see the surroundings: two other Belgium players were closing the ball already while the carrier was yet to reach the box. It was unnecessary to commit himself, especially Poulsen was lurking. Denayer’s prone to error might be a concern if Martínez insisted on starting him in the knockout stages.

这张截图展示了德纳耶尔糟糕的防守选择。可以看到在他的周围，两名比利时球员已经在接近皮球，而持球人还没有进入禁区。他没有必要亲自去拼抢，尤其是波尔森正潜伏在旁边。如果马丁内斯坚持在淘汰赛阶段首发德纳耶尔，后者易于犯错的特性可能成为一大隐患。

Denayer also had other weaknesses that might be exploited by the opposition. Although having pretty good dueling statistics, Denayer was not good at defending spaces in front. Since Belgium only had two midfielders, they needed the centre-backs to step up and cover but it was not the strength of Denayer.

德纳耶尔还有其他可能被对手利用的弱点。尽管有着极为出色的对抗数据，德纳耶尔并不擅长防守身前的空间。由于比利时只有两名中场，因此他们需要中卫前顶完成覆盖，但这并不是德纳耶尔的强项。

The above image was an instance in which Denayer failed to get tight on the dropping striker, allowing Finland to advance the attack through him. As specified, only having Axel Witsel and De Bruyne at the midfield was insufficient numerically, the duo will be separated apart when the opposition midfield moved wider.

上图就是德纳耶尔没能跟住对手回撤的前锋的例子，这使得芬兰得以将进攻推进过他的防区。只有埃克塞尔·维特塞尔和德布劳内在中场是不够的，当对手的中场阵型拉得更宽的时候，这对中场组合就会被拉扯开。

Martínez will have to consider dropping the Lyon defender if he could not cover Alderweireld and Vertonghen. On the contrary, Boyata seems to be the answer to the fragile centre-back position.

如果这名里昂中卫不能掩护好阿尔德韦雷尔德和维尔通亨，马丁内斯将不得不考虑启用他。相反，博亚塔可能才是脆弱的中卫位置上的最终人选。

Belgium was a bit unfortunate to lose Timothy Castagne in the first game. The candidate to replace the Leicester City right wing-back was probably Thomas Meunier, who immediately filled the vacancy and started against Denmark. However, the Borussia Dortmund defender failed to reach his best this season, his unstable form was carried on to the national team.

比利时很不幸地在第一场比赛就失去了蒂莫西·卡斯塔涅。莱斯特城边翼卫的替代者应该是托马斯·默尼耶，后者迅速填补了这一空缺，并在对阵丹麦的比赛中首发上场。不过本赛季，这名多特后卫并不处最佳状态，他不稳定的状态也延续到了国家队赛场上。

Therefore, it is expected to see Belgium’s opponents targeting their right flank to attack. The above image shows Meunier’s unconvincing 1v1 defending. His body orientation always invited the dribbler to cut inside, but Meunier could not twist his body to shut the shooting angle if that happened. On most occasions, it required another defender such as Witsel in this image to press the winger at half-spaces.

因此，可以预见比利时的对手会针对他们的右翼展开进攻。上图展示了默尼耶不令人放心的一对一防守，他的身体朝向总是会将持球人放到内线使其完成内切，但是他却并不能及时转身对对手的射门完成封堵。绝大多数情况下，他需要另一名防守球员，比如上图中的维特塞尔，在肋部对对手施压。

The image has shown the imbalanced defence of Belgium in the group games. It was very clear that they conceded much more shots on the right side than on the left side. Stopping the cut-ins and prevent the curlers will be another key task for Martínez to solve.

上图展示了比利时在小组赛阶段不平衡的防守，显然，他们在右路让出了更多射门空间。阻止对手内切并避免被打弧线球将成为等待马丁内斯解决的另一个关键问题。

 

Great transition threat

巨大的攻守转换威胁

Despite listing some of the potential worries of Belgium in the above scout report, in fact, there were positives to mention as well. Martínez’s men should be counting on the offensive transitions to create some opportunities as they got talented attackers in the team.

尽管我们在上文中看到了比利时一些亟待解决的潜在隐患，但事实上，他们同样也有值得一提的优点。拥有许多才华横溢的攻击手，马丁内斯的球员们应当在攻守转换阶段制造更多威胁。

For example, Lukaku possessed a very good attacking sense as a striker. The above example shows his contributions in the counter-attacks to create isolation for teammates. When Jérémy Doku was driving forward, Lukaku smartly moved to the far side to drag the centre-back away. In this 2v2 situation, the Finland defenders must separate themselves to defend, so Doku could use his quality to take on the opposition.

例如，作为一名前锋，卢卡库有着非常敏锐的进攻嗅觉。上图展示了他在反击中为队友创造的空间。当热雷米·多库带球向前时，卢卡库聪明地移动到远端将对手中卫带走。在这个2打2的情况下，芬兰的球员必须分开防守，因此多库可以利用他的个人能力来对付对手。

Another secret weapon of the team was placing Lukaku on the right side while keeping De Bruyne at the centre. This variation was proved to be powerful in the game against Denmark. When the Inter forward began his runs on the right flank, he was always reached by De Bruyne’s right-footed passes. Arranging a quick attacking player on this side could better release the stronger foot of De Bruyne, as shown in the above image.

比利时的另一个秘密武器是将卢卡库放到右边路而让德布劳内留在中路。在对阵丹麦时，事实证明这一变阵十分有力。当国米前锋在右翼跑动时，他总是能接到德布劳内的右脚传球。如上图，在这一侧发动快攻可以更好地发挥德布劳内顺足的优势。

 

Final remarks

结语

Winning all three games was a good result in the group stage. However, the team still needs to be better at some departments if they wanted to challenge the title. Belgium might not be at the best without starting the strongest eleven because of injuries. With De Bruyne and Witsel back, E. Hazard getting fitter, Martínez would have more cards to play hopefully they play better!

赢下小组赛的全部三场比赛是一个不错的结果，但如果他们想对冠军发起冲击的话，球队还需要在某些方面做得更好。由于受到伤病影响，这支比利时并不能将他们最强的11名球员都排入首发。不过随着德布劳内和维特塞尔的回归以及阿扎尔状态的回暖，马丁内斯将会有更多可供选择的手牌。希望他们能拿出更好的表现！
