Chapter 20 Adaptation and Change

A large group of players crowded in Wansheng's office, all staring at Wansheng standing in front of everyone. Wansheng was writing and drawing on the tactical board, explaining the team's next tactical training content.

This is the first tactical lesson of the new season.

Wansheng gave a general introduction to the tactical plan for everyone. This is a more aggressive tactic he developed by continuing last season's defensive counterattack. This is not a brand new tactic, but an expansion of last season's half-court defensive counterattack. Range - the whole court, in terms of defense, a direct word to describe it is to press the whole court and counterattack on the spot.

The overall tactics and tactics are not much different from the defensive counterattack used last season, but when the defensive range is expanded to the entire court, it is not a defensive counterattack at all, but an offensive football with full attack and full defense.

Wansheng's plan is to play offensive football!

Last season, I chose to defend to avoid relegation and to achieve better results. Now I play offensive football to upgrade and achieve better results.

This is the tactic Wansheng decided to use after considering the current team's overall lineup strength.

Although it is more secure to choose to focus on defense, Wansheng believes that it is a bit too conservative. Their overall strength is no worse than other teams. If they want to win more games, they must strengthen their offense and score goals. To win, if it's all defense, he can't guarantee that the team can always counterattack and score. When the opponents get to know Derby County, it becomes very difficult to rely on counter-attacks to score goals. So Wansheng intends to let the team change their thinking and play offensive football.

It is very difficult to turn defensive counter-attack into offensive football.

No matter when, the most suitable tactic for the team is the best tactic, and this set of offensive football tactics is a continuation of last season's defensive counterattack idea, but it just expands the defensive range to the whole court, and the defensive range is expanded. To the audience, but also want to defend well. Then there has to be more running.

That's why he asks everyone to do physical training.

If it is just an ordinary tactic, as long as the physical fitness is enough to support the normal game, it is enough to have more physical reserves. For example, Osman, a player with good physical fitness is in the general strategy. Enough to play the whole game without getting too tired. But his tactical defense is full-court. Pressing the full-court itself is very physical. He also requires every player to run, keep running, and use the whole team's running to block the opponent's attack. If you don't get it, continue to run, continue to follow.

This will consume more energy.

on the playing field. A person who has been running and defending has little effect. But everyone does this, and the defensive ability will immediately rise to a certain level. It is only by playing such football that the defense that expands to the entire field can be effective.

When the range is expanded to the whole court, the defensive range of each person is doubled, the distance between players is larger, and the defense is naturally weakened a lot. If everyone can't run, then defense will be meaningless. For those teams that are good at offense, their defense is too weak.

Wansheng doesn't want to see the team enter that kind of situation. So he asked the entire team to reserve physical fitness.

If you can increase your movement and do a good defense that presses the whole court, then the offense will be settled. Wansheng requires only one offense, and that is to be fast!

It's a bit like the tactic used by Derby County and Ipswich in the final stages of the game, suddenly speeding up the attacking tempo, making the opponent very uncomfortable, and then the team took advantage of the opportunity to score.

In fact, Wansheng has more ideas on offense.

Referring to the offensive methods of various top teams, Wansheng can think of letting the team keep passing the ball, playing fast football while playing exquisite small-scale coordination, penetrating offense coupled with fast offense rhythm, no team can defend. This kind of offensive...but it's a bit whimsical, not to mention the current Derby County, even a stronger mid-level Premier League team, can't play such football at all, the reason is that the player's personal Insufficient ability, unless the whole team is a world-class star, such as the current AC Milan, Arsenal, or the rise of Barcelona in a few years, that is, a team of this level, it is possible to play such an offensive.

And Derbyshire... not too far off.

The strength of the team's ordinary main players is the average level of League One, not to mention young players such as Leighton Baines and Leto Ziegler. They may become stars in the future and will play in professional players. Perhaps they have their own uniqueness and occasionally have outstanding performances on the field, but after all, they are still too young and have too little experience. Sheng's expectations for them are only that they can adapt to the tactics and catch up with the performance of ordinary players at the beginning of the game.

In other words, the current team is not much different from other League One teams.

The gap between such a team and the world's top giants is too great. The general ability of the players is insufficient, let alone creativity, so I want the team to play the ideal offense, the ideal football... That is an ideal.

Wansheng does not require a small range of cooperation to pass, does not require a more accurate pass, and does not require a subtle cooperation, he only has one requirement, that is to be fast.

After getting the ball, suddenly change the rhythm of the game and launch the attack with a fast-paced attack, so that the opponent has to adapt to the sudden change of rhythm, which is very beneficial to himself. However, in a fast-paced offensive, there will definitely be more mistakes. Wansheng's idea is to let the team adapt first. As long as the team adapts to the tactics and can play a fast-paced offensive, the mistakes will naturally decrease over time.

Wansheng does not require the team to do well, but he believes that as long as the team can play a "shape", it is enough to gallop in the League One arena.

Wansheng is very clear that this set of tactical ideas is actually somewhat idealized. It is a long-term job to make the team adapt to the tactics, not just a dozen days of training.

But he already has a plan.

The first step is to let everyone know what to do when on the field.

This is what the team did the other day. It sounds simple, but in reality, it is not easy for everyone to know what to do in a set of tactics. Such as when the team is aggressively attacking. Should a full-back come forward, or stay in the back to prevent counter-attacks?

Many times, this requires personal judgment.

However, Wansheng has formulated detailed competition tasks for everyone, and analyzed many situations to be encountered on the field, targeting everyone. for each situation. To make the tactics more detailed, all the players need to do is to follow the tactics and do it step by step on the field of play.

This work is quite heavy.

It is not easy for Wansheng to make players digest these detailed tactics, but he does not need players to memorize everything, as long as they know their game tasks.

After completing the first step, the team has completed a framework for adapting to tactics, and then it can start to use time and games to lay the foundation.

......

After explaining the strategy in general. Formal tactical training begins.

With the help of 'collaboration' skills. The team's tactical training effect will be improved by 100%, that is to say, half a month of training is equivalent to a month's effect. This skill effect brings great confidence to Wansheng.

During training, Wan Sheng will not stay in the office.

He needs to personally lead the team in tactical training and give each player the necessary guidance. He has to do this all the time during tactical training, and his work tasks are also very heavy. Fortunately, many people in the team have some basis for this tactic. These people are the players who participated in the game against Ipswich last season.

Tactics now and against Ipswich. That sudden burst attack is similar.

In comparison, the current tactics are to maintain the pressing and fast break of the whole court, but the whole court has to attack, naturally it is impossible to keep pressing so forward, and basically maintain the relative balance of offense and defense. It is said to be offensive football, but the core is full-court pressing.

From a neutral point of view, this tactic is actually too open.

To this end, Wansheng also discussed with Diamares, but Wansheng insisted on doing so because he has coaching skills. 'Resolute interception' can ensure the team's full-court pressing effect is better, 'fast dash' can increase the attack speed of sudden steals, and the auxiliary passive skill 'shooting' can also increase the efficiency of the team's goals, with several attacks And the bonus effect of defensive skills, the tactical effect will definitely be better.

But soon Wansheng found some problems.

The problem is not in players adapting to tactics, but in individual players, the biggest problem is Franck Ribery.

In Wansheng's new season planning, Ribery is definitely a very important player. Although he is a winger, he is an important person who dominates the offense, because he is fast enough, his foot skills are good enough, and his dribbling The dribbling is quite sharp. Such a player was not available in Derby County before. In contrast, Weberson has a big gap.

But Ribery is so alone!

Many times Ribery made a breakthrough, but he didn't pass the ball when he should, and continued to dribble the ball forward. As a result, he took the ball directly to the bottom line and lost the opportunity to pass the ball, and the offense was stopped.

In attack, Ribery's role is to break through and pass the ball.

If he only breaks through without passing the ball, the breakthrough will be meaningless, which is almost no different from wasting attacking opportunities. Wansheng's requirement is that Ribery break through the neutral position. With his skills at his feet, he can easily do this. It is not difficult for Ribery to play a long pass in the neutral position, or to hand the ball to a teammate who has a better chance.

As long as Ribery can complete the pass, even if it is a lob pass that goes straight to the penalty area, it is easy to create opportunities in the penalty area when the attack is connected, and there is never a chance to threaten the goal. Hill is very good at headers.

However, Ribery is very bad at passing the ball. He only knows how to dribble the ball in the breakthrough. It seems that he has no awareness of passing the ball. When he occasionally thinks about it, he often misses the opportunity.

To this end, Wansheng turned on the football training master system and took a look. Ribery's passing score was 81 points, which is absolutely not bad, completely higher than most of the players.

So he had a headache.

If Ribery is just because of his poor passing ability, he can completely use the football training master system to accept player tasks issued by the system for him to improve his passing ability, but he is completely a matter of playing habit. It's a little harder to change.

But he still decided to give Ribery the task of passing the ball. Ribery's next training direction for his personal ability is to improve his passing.

Wansheng did this for two reasons.

One is that Ribery's passing potential value is good, there are as many as 95 points, and individual training can still improve to about 90 points, of course. That takes a lot of time.

The second is to do more passing training, so that Ribery can try to get used to passing.

It is still difficult to think that it will be effective in a short time. Wansheng thinks that he should talk to Ribery alone.

......

After the day's training, Wan Sheng called Ribery into the office.

Ribery was very uneasy, and he was in the team for about a month. He has gradually become acquainted with everyone. Through communication with everyone, he already knew that if the coach called a player into the office alone, it was probably not a good thing, so he kept his head down and thought back to where he made a mistake.

Are you training hard?

Daily life is also very normal, especially after participating in that strange signing. He's trying to 'fit the team'. When a reporter came to interview, no matter what kind of reporter he was, he directly refused.

The training is no problem, the media is no problem, is it because he did not perform well in tactical training?

Ribery thought.

But he didn't expect that when he entered the office, Wan Sheng asked him to sit there and handed him a cup of freshly brewed coffee. He didn't have the habit of drinking coffee. But he knew Wan Sheng's message of goodwill, and then he heard Wan Sheng speak. "Frank, do you know why you are only 24 years old, and you can only play in the lower leagues?"

Ribery was taken aback and looked at Wansheng.

Wan Sheng said to himself, "Your ability is very outstanding in the team, very outstanding. I can say that in the team now, your skills are the best. Especially your outstanding performance is very exciting. I will definitely applaud you when I watch the game and see how wonderful you are."

Ribery doesn't understand, is he complimenting himself?

"But..." Sure enough, Wan Sheng stared at Ribery, and his voice changed. "Don't you realize that you rarely pass the ball to others?"

Ribery lowered his head.

This is not the first time he has heard this question, but he did not expect that he has only been in the team for less than a month, and the tactical training has just started, and Wansheng will talk about it. So he explained, "Boss, I know that when I was at the Ales Club, the coach also said it, but..." Ribery paused before continuing, "But, I always feel too much. There's something wrong with passing the ball..."

Wan Sheng stared at Ribery.

Just listen to Ribery continue to say, "Sometimes I also think about passing the ball, but it is very difficult to play, I think I should have no talent in this regard."

Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "You are very talented, your passing is very good."

"...?" Ribery didn't quite understand.

Wansheng naturally couldn't explain the data of the football training master system to him, he just said, "I brought you to my team because I saw your abilities and abilities in all aspects. I believe that you will become a big star in the future. Yes, Frank." Wan Sheng stared into Ribery's eyes and said, "Do you believe it?"

Ribery was a little excited. His dream was to become a big star, but thinking about his own situation, he always felt that this dream was a little unreal. "Big star? What kind of big star?"

"Just like Ronaldo, like Zidane, such a big star! I believe you will reach that level in the future, but the premise is that you must try to change yourself." Wan Sheng's expression was solemn and serious, he stood He got up, waved his arms and said, "You have to change, and you have to succeed! This is the only problem with your football, as long as you can do it, you will become a big star!"

"Think about it, Frank, when you're playing, you have a lot of fans cheering for you, and on weekdays, there are a lot of reporters, fans around you, you're welcome wherever you go, and you're the center of attention wherever you go. , don't you want to be such a big star?"

"Yes." Ribery replied, turning to ask in doubt, "But... can I really do it?"

"Of course! Frank, you are a confident person, you believe in your future success, right?" Wan Sheng said, "You have been working hard, remember? The first time I saw you was in a small football field, then It's vacation, but you're still training alone."

"You are confident and you work hard!"

"You have outstanding skills! Outstanding strength!"

"You want to be a big star, and you have all the conditions to be a big star!"

"But, have you thought about what you're doing is the right thing to do? Now I'm showing you a clear path, which is to try to change, to change the way you play, to try to work with your teammates, to keep trying to do that. Football is never a one-man sport, you have to do it to be successful!"

......

Wansheng and Ribery talked a lot. He encouraged him and pointed out the problems with his football. He did not ask Ribery what he thought. He believed that Ribery would definitely think about this issue when he returned.

The results speak for themselves, and Ribery really has no other choice.

In the future, his success is definitely not what it is now. He himself tried to change, otherwise he would not have won so many honors in the future. What Wansheng did is to make Ribery more sure about how to change and speed up the change. speed only.

He just hoped that Ribery could adapt quickly.

After dealing with Ribery's problem, Wan Sheng went to other problems, that is, the problem of some individual players in tactical training, such as Leighton Baines's position is always too high, which causes him to defend There are often neutral blocks along the way. For example, there is a problem with Cahill's shooting. Wansheng needs to give him the task of improving his shooting ability. In addition, the original old players, such as Ferdinand and others, did not perform well in offense and defense transitions. Very good, he finally thought about it and planned to focus on Morris and Ferdinand.

The choice of the core in the middle is very important, especially in this tactic, the rhythm of the offense and defense transition is very important. He originally thought that four people, including Ferdinand, Morris, Osman, and Ivan Crewe, could become The core role in the middle, but he quickly discovered that Osman's defensive ability is much stronger than attacking. He is a simple and rude player, and his performance in attack is very disappointing. Ivan Kru's ability is too average and not outstanding. place.

The overall ability of the two of them is actually stronger than Ferdinand and Morris, but Ferdinand is more focused on defense, and his offense is also very stable. These two have no obvious shortcomings, while Osman and Ivan Krew's shortcomings are too obvious.

In short, while adapting to the new tactics, problems have arisen in all aspects.

Wansheng only has to think about it one by one and solve it one by one.

This is a necessary process to adapt to the tactics.

It is always better to find problems now than to have problems during the league process. Now he still has time to change. If one problem is solved, there will be one less problem, and the team's performance will be much better. (To be continued ~^~)
