Chapter 37 The Veteran of the Saint Seiya Level

On the way back to the training ground from the head coach's office, Frank Ribery felt as if his steps were about to fly.

Usually a few teammates who have a good relationship around him.

"What's wrong with you, boss? Frank."

"It's a good thing to look at."

Ribery finally couldn't help opening his mouth and laughing out loud. He was very excited, "Boss... Boss, he said he would give me a more important task!"

"More important tasks? What do you mean?"

The people around were a little confused.

Ribery was already the main winger, and he was given a more important task. What kind of task was that? Does he want to change positions to play the core in midfield?

Someone asked.

Ribery hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I'm still playing in my original position."

"That is how the matter?"

"I don't know, the boss didn't explain it clearly, but I think I'll know it in a while." Ribery explained.

The others just dispersed without a clue.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wan Sheng to appear on the training ground. He announced that he would adjust the tactical training and ask everyone to play with Ribery's rhythm.

Wansheng didn't explain in too much detail. In fact, there are not many details about this adjustment at all. It is basically the player's own play in the game, so he only talked about the attacking method and the running method of others. , to grasp the key points of the team's offensive rhythm, etc., and let the players go to the training ground to practice on their own.

He just looked at the effect.

If the team can still lay out a framework, it means that his idea is feasible. If not, it means that with the team's current ability, it is impossible to keep up with Ribery's rhythm, so there is no way to talk about tactical adjustments. rise.

However, Wan Sheng felt that there was a great chance of success.

The team's current ability is actually not as bad as imagined, although they are only average in the middle of League One. However, most of the main players of the team were originally the main players of the team, and their personal abilities were not too bad. Coupled with several months of personal training, everyone improved a lot, if we make a comparison. The individual abilities of many people. Can catch up with the strength of the main players of the upper League One teams, not to mention, the team also has outstanding players such as Ian Taylor and Morris.

Don't underestimate the level of the main players of the upper-level teams in League One. League One can be called the world's No. 1 second-tier league, but it's not what it says, nor is it promoted by the English media, in fact. The main force of the upper league team. Basically, there is a level of playing in the Premier League, and most of the players in the Premier League's relegation teams are only at this level.

Players like Morris are enough to play in the Premier League and have a good performance.

The strength of the team's current main lineup, although not comparable to strong teams such as West Ham United and Norwich, is definitely not bad. Ribery's personal ability is much better than others. But just running to keep up with his offensive rhythm, this requirement is not too high.

...

on the training ground.

Derby County players under the command of Wan Sheng. During the training of tactical adaptation, Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines with a whistle. When he saw that some players did not do well, he shouted, too many people did not do well, so he blew the whistle to pause and then explained the main points to everyone. .

The training went on like this.

Wansheng is not a complete 'dictatorship' of tactical training, and let everyone listen to him. He will also listen to the players' feelings during the game and listen to their opinions on this small tactical adjustment.

Captain Marcus first asked, "Boss, do we all follow Frank's rhythm? But I'm the defender."

"Perot, you have to run as well, but you have to pay more attention to the back line! Baker will look at your position, and Baines may do the same, so your position is very critical, you are not only the team's Captain, or the leader of the entire line of defense, you have to pay attention to the formation of the entire team at any time, and then adjust your position to stabilize the defense. When necessary, you have to insert assists, understand? "

Wan Sheng explained in detail, "What to do in the game, you can discuss with Baker, but you must ensure that the back line cannot be out of touch with the team's overall formation."

Marcus is the core of the team's defense. Although Alfred's performance is also good, he is too young and has too much experience in the game. It can be said that he is completely blank in the overall situation. Marcus may not be able to keep up with Alfred in some aspects of his personal ability, but he is outstanding in the overall situation and has a certain leadership ability. important.

Others also asked some doubts.

Wan Sheng explained patiently one by one.

"The most important thing is to keep the team's formation running. If you can keep up, the formation will also be pressed across the board, and then you will be able to run out of neutral. It is impossible for the opponent to guard everyone. They will definitely make mistakes or appear in neutral. , we just use their mistakes and gaps to find opportunities."

"Frank, your passing is very important. When you want to pass the ball, you don't need to look for other people's positions, just pass the neutral, and someone will naturally find good opportunities."

"It's the same for everyone else." Wan Sheng looked at Ivan Crewe and Webberson, "When you guys are on the court, it's best to look for space when passing the ball from the side, especially the long pass. It's easy for the opponent to defend, so we have to try to find a neutral position."

These are very simple tactical coordination methods.

But in fact, the teams that can really do it are quite strong, and only the top teams in the world can do well in this seemingly simple tactical coordination method.

It is still very difficult for Derby County to do it completely.

The main problem is that the players' grasp of tactics is still a lot worse. When they attack, it is difficult for them to cover all areas, and even if they have good opportunities, it is difficult to grasp them.

Passing is also a big problem. The game says 'pass to neutral' and 'pass to neutral', but on the field, where is the neutral position so easy to find? Players on the field of play because of the ability to view the entire field. It is not easy to find the opponent's defensive neutral position at the first time. If he can grasp this point with his personal ability, this player is already quite capable.

That said, it's going to be difficult for Derby County to do that.

However, Wansheng's requirements are not high. He only needs to be when Ribery dribbles forward. Let others keep up with Ribery's rhythm to run, so that Ribery can use his personal ability to drive the team's overall attack to rise.

But in order to meet this requirement, the team can only complete it after a period of adaptation training.

...

Wan Sheng thought of doing this, but it was not just a 'flash of inspiration'.

He has long had a similar idea.

Ribery's personal ability is very outstanding. If such outstanding players appear on the front line, they will often be considered by fans as a "genius shooter"; they appear in the middle of the midfield. He will also be an important player who organizes offense and transitions from offense to defense; it's easier to appear in the backcourt. That's a heavyweight talented guard.

But the sidewalks are different.

The flank is a very complicated position. It is not so complicated to say that this position is difficult to play. In fact, the positioning of this position in tactics is quite flexible.

If a player in this position wants to perform, he often relies more on the entire team. Even if his personal ability is very strong, he also depends on the entire team and the team's tactics. It also depends on whether the head coach pays attention to the player in this position.

Ribery has been unknown until now, precisely because of this.

The Ales club coach did not pay attention to Ribery at all. Because Ribery and his teammates couldn't cooperate well, he felt that Ribery was just the kind of player who was good at playing street football and playing skills. Such players have good skills, but in the professional arena, their performance is very average.

But Wan Sheng knows that Ribery will become in the future, he does not see it that way.

Wansheng attaches great importance to Ribery.

So when he found out that he needed more offensive means, he thought of Ribery. He needed Ribery to make more contributions to the team's offense. He thought of Ribery's technology and let Ribery It drives the offensive rhythm of the entire team.

Previously, this task was only on one person, and that was Maurice, the core of the frontcourt.

Maurice's personal ability is good, but his offensive ability is much worse than Ribery's, his speed is not too fast, and his personal dribbling skills are also very general, so the offense he drives is often penetrating. , the threat is much worse.

What Wansheng thought was that when Ribery dribbled the ball, the whole team followed his rhythm, so that the focus of the attack was shifted to the left, and Ribery could play freely and all would cooperate with him. Good play space.

Instead, he wanted to see what would happen to Ribery in full play.

If his idea can be successful, the team's offensive ability will definitely be able to upgrade a notch.

However, this does not mean that Ribery will be the core of the team in the future. It is just that when he takes the ball and breaks through, the team's offensive rhythm follows him. In fact, the core of the frontcourt is still Morris, and Ribery is only a second core.

This is what Wansheng has added to the team's offensive means.

Ivan Crewe's free kick, coupled with Ribery's personal ability, these two methods combined with the original team's offensive ability, it seems that few players can rely on defense to defend the goal for 90 minutes.

Wansheng is still very confident on this point.

But it will take time for the team to fully adapt to the new tactical adjustment. Before fully adapting, Wansheng does not intend to let this immature tactic appear on the court, so until then, the performance of the team is still the same as before. No difference.

...

Two days later, in the first round of the English League Cup, Derby County played away to Huddersfield, an English League Two team.

Wansheng sent a semi-substitute lineup to play, still using the 4231 formation, starting striker Ian Taylor, Ivan Cruella, Webberson and Leighton Baines on both sides, Ribery, Morris As well as Cahill are rotated and rested, it is worth mentioning that Leto Ziegler started.

Derby County's semi-substitute lineup performed quite well. After the team got used to the game a little, they attacked Huddersfield half-time and finally scored three goals in ten minutes to win the League Cup. The first lap of the race.

However, the win was also a little thrilling, and Huddersfield also scored two goals.

Wansheng was worried about the team's defense throughout the game.

This semi-substitute lineup and the full main lineup still have some gaps on offense. The most important thing is that Ribery, Cahill, and Morris are not on the court, but Osman, Ferdinand, and Alfred are on defense. And the captain Marcus is on the field, but the defense is much worse than normal.

After this game, Wansheng really saw Morris's role in the game.

Morris's personal performance is not outstanding, but he is the core of the team's offense and defense transition. This core cannot be replaced by ordinary players. Ivan Crew takes his place, but Crew can't bring the rhythm at all. In this way, there are some scattered kills in the defense. Huddersfield's two goals were all taken advantage of the confusion of the team's formation to find opportunities.

But it's impossible for Morris to start and play all the games in the future...

Wan Sheng had a headache just thinking about it.

He found that there are still many problems that the team needs to solve, not only adapting to tactics and other issues, but also a player's individual ability and performance.

After realizing this problem, Wansheng began to think about a solution.

The easiest and most direct way is of course to introduce one or two capable players to supplement the squad. The summer transfer is not over yet, and Derby County is still capable of signing a few players in front of them. Because there is a football training master system, Wansheng is not too worried about the team's injury problem. Those players whose physical fitness is not up to standard will not let them play. Of course, accidents can still happen. It can happen, not to mention the most mundane injuries, but Wansheng still doesn't sign too many players in front of him, he only targets those who are likely to replace Morris.

Soon Wansheng set his sights on a 33-year-old veteran -- Peschi Solido.

This is a former Sheffield United player.

In Sheffield United, PesquiSolido is a striker, but this player has good skills and can also play in midfield. The veteran is always rich in experience. PeschiSolido has moved to many clubs, Fulham, Birmingham , Stoke City, Queens Park Rangers and so on, judging from PeskiSolido's resume, he is definitely an experienced fighter.

I say this because Pesquisolido is thirty-three years old, but he has played fifteen seasons in League One and two seasons in League Two. Played in League One, and played a lot in Birmingham at that time. The only two seasons in League Two were played for Fulham, which was sinking into the lower league at that time.

This is really... a veteran with rich experience!

Thirty-three years old, fifteen seasons of League One, two seasons of League Two, and few injuries in seventeen years... Wan Sheng was stunned when he saw this resume.

Compared with the experience of the League One Saint Seiya like Peschisolido, those so-called veterans are really weak! (To be continued ~^~)
