The scene occurs a few weeks ago, after just under three minutes in the Champions League game between FC Chelsea and Juventus Turin. After a corner for the blues, the second ball lands again at the host. Trevoh Chalobah, Law's Legtonian Defense Sire, wants to contribute. But his side man slows him by energetic hand movement: Jorginho, one of Chelseas's six, gives the order that the young colleague has to stay in the residual defense.
- Vacuum cleaner, chain dog, Tator cleaner
- Beckenbauer and Sammer were in advance of their time
- A six may not be a lady
- Kimmich, Kanté, Casemiro and Busquets give the ideal package
Why? Because "thinker" and "handlebars" are not only two words that rhyme, but because Europe's footballer of the year is doing exactly that: He thinks for his colleagues with, two, three steps ahead, corrected, conducted, directs them - and thus the game. And that's just one point in the spectrum of the requirement profile to this position. It is the literally central role that no errors forgives, especially no ball loss.
To understand the evolution that made today's six more and challenging - even in the youth, not only in the top area - is worth a look back to the history. Where do you start there? In the World Cup system of the 30s? Sometimes the center run (as in Austria's Wunderteam Pepi Smistik) was defensively aligned, sometimes more offensive as Fritz Szepan as a motor of the Schalke roundabout. Or 1954? When Jozsef Zakarias received his back at the Hungary Jozsef Bozsik? Or walking miracle Horst Eckel in the defensive midfield the Magyar's passports delivered? Or 1958, when Zito arranged the game of Brazilians from the defensive midfield? Everyone likes to judge that himself based on his memories.
Vacuum cleaner, chain dog, Tator cleaner
Let's go to the Bundesliga, and there came to the six who received his name here because of the numbering of positions, there is little charming designations: Vacuum cleaner before the defense, chain dog, taplet cleaner. One who did the dirt work turned off the opposing director. In this respect, the Cologne legend Wolfgang Overath was glad to know a defensive midfielder like Heinz Simmet in his team. He then told him just as jokingly as well as it is in the house Overath: "Whenever my kids annoy me, then I'm daring them: I love or I get the Simmet."
That was in the 70s. Almost 30 years later, Bavaria's six Jens Jeremies transmitted to the counterpart of Patrick Vieira, whom he had just fouled, with reference to the centerline this message: "Are you coming over, it's aua. Over there, there's good over there." So Jeremies' colleague told Mehmet Scholl from a duel with Arsenal.
This should neither be simmet nor Jeremies' total performance, it was only different times. Also in England, where Nobby Stiles was traveling as "avenue" of the lost balls, or Norman Hunter and Ron Harris got the little adventless nicknames "calf bay" and "chopper".
Beckenbauer and Sammer were in advance of their time
At some point, this guy was no longer in demand. Clever coaches have to have thought that this central position is too a pity to take almost destructive and little creative influence. Yes, there were professionals, who were ahead of their time, as once Franz Beckenbauer or later Matthias Sammer, who considered a "Libero", free man, little behind her men, who prevailed and almost already to be shaped sixties. But to the Joshua Kimmich's in the world, which interpret this role multifunctional, passed a lot of time - until the hunters themselves became the directors. For a long time, there were a few, Fernando Redondo (Real, Milan) was one of them.
Today there is not only Bavaria's Kimmich, but also other stars on this position in Europe's cup football. Without claim for completeness, they are visually and symbolically united to a large six, also those that have special top values in different categories and competitions.
He is physically stronger and outstanding in the counterpressing. He is it too, who gives the signal to the counterattack, and mostly successful.
Dazn expert Sebastian Knissl over Joshua Kimmich
One of them, the Jorginho mentioned above, the ex-pro and today's expert Sebastian Kneissl for the Dazn program "Decoded" was taken under the magnifying glass. The quintessence of its investigations is mainly that Jorghino plays many short passports, which initially does not seem to witness to any special can, but with closer inspection betrayed that everyone, also transversely or back, pursues a sense: open spaces and passports, often Only three contacts later, but thus initiated. "He makes him as good as no other," says Knißl, who is still Kimmich in the overall package a bit better, because: "He is physically stronger and outstanding in the counterpressing. Yes, he leaves his position more often, but he is it too which gives the signal to the counterattack, and most successful. "
A six may not be a lady
A good six, a more complete better, has to control exactly that: not only hold the balance, but also work defensively, protect the central defenders, and also find solutions in the game build-up and withdraw the ball with loss and recall the ball. Who projects the role of this player on a chessboard, may tell him several characters there: he is the runner (diagonal balls and runs), the springer, who is responsible for the surprising, as it were the farmer who sacrifices with a tactical foul got to. And: the king, the most important figure, because everything has to be presented with the highest precision and greatest game intelligence. What he should not be: the lady. Not everything is allowed, not every freedom he may take himself, but a position faithfulness is also essential for the position game as essential as for countercarding. Because this gap, which leaves a six-like, can never be totally stuffed by other players.
Especially a six is not allowed to make the ball just just clap. But he has to do this with timing and feeling, almost already with that "seckest sense", which helps us - according to "Wikipedia" - noticeably, "noticing something without perceiving it with the well-known sensory organs." He needs the highest control over his ankle and the body, at a time-candy does not harm. He must sharpen the diagonal balls, usually put high, except a room allows this flat (Thiago now donored in front of Bavaria's winner in the Champion League Final 2020 five PSG professionals at once). Each addressee must be able to process the ball in the open position, otherwise the rhythm is g1. But this pass receiver determines what happens, that makes it demanding.
I forgive you any mistake, but you may never stop running.
Pep Guardiola
The six Malocht today as much as it was. Only different: play, go, play, go. Constant activity paired with accuracy. But no longer with high-rolled sleeves such as Paul Breitner and downstream necks such as Sören Lerby, both Coryphous in their way in the 80s, but with fine blade, elegance. In pinstripe, if you want. Trainer Pep Guardiola told the team in Manchester in his entitusion speech: "I forgive each mistake, but you may never stop running."
This is the modern "dirt work" of a six of a six, which creates and opens so spaces that remained hidden when he switched to a pass in the quiet mode. A six has to scan the playing field, compass for others. He should also rely on his position meaningful: in the construction overloaded, defensively double, also on the wing. Always he has to have in mind that he must not be durated because he is the last bastion before the defense. However, Rodrigo did not put on Guardiola in the Champions League final 2021 - and paid this expensive.
A six is not the same six. His tasks, even its ideal height, define themselves through systems and plays. Thus, a sole six (about 4-3-3) has much fewer possibilities than when he is part of a double six (as in 4-2-3-1). Here the ball-seeing six should come shortly, the ballast offered on gap. For example, at the latter constellation, a large player on the side of a manoeuity is the ideal combination, while a solo six (Liverpools Fabinho, City Rodrigo) should be higher if his aft colleagues go into the pressing, because there can be one or the other long Ball over it. In addition, a great range harms nothing for the duel. With ball, a game-strong man is recommended on the six when your own team is proactive. Wearing teams sometimes even suffer the vacuum cleaner. And: a six has to be light awake in all four game phases (in its own possession, against the ball and in both switching situations).
Kimmich, Kanté, Casemiro and Busquets give the ideal package
Guido Stringbier, DFB U-18 National Trainer, has created a module for the six. The result - after numerous return languages with u. A. Ilkay Gündogan, Didi Hamann, Kalla Pflissen, Markus Weinzierl and Stefan Kuntz: Kimmich (Allrounder), Chelseas N'Golo Kanté (anticipation), Reals Casemiro (Physis) and Barcas Sergio Busquets (game thickness) give the ideal package. Stringbier: "All fill the classic tasks perfectly, are also a nuance better in your specialty."
Do you have to worry about the future of the six, if the kids prefer to emulate the scores? "No," says string beer and explains: "In case of visual tours, 60 percent central midfielder crystallize after three days, because the coaches put their best in the center." The smartest can just read the game best - the most important property. But, so stringbier, "in the U-18 area can fly apart, because not everyone can implement the 360 degree game at a high level." 360 degrees in each sense: You get the balls from anywhere, as well. But the sixs with the best solutions for all this will ultimately get from all sides: the biggest compliments.
