Four Hundred and Two The Almighty Warcraft

"Didier, pull more, run more, use your body advantage more, suppress the player who is defending you, yes, use your body to suppress him, hold the ball, be more steady, and look around more, here comes the defender. Just pass the ball out and there will be responses from all around!”

After Gerrard came in from the center, Drogba immediately passed the ball to his feet.

Gerrard did not slow down to get the ball, but directly kicked the ball out with his big foot. He chased after him and entered the penalty area. After getting the ball, he shot low and penetrated the goal guarded by Reina.

There was a burst of applause immediately, and everyone applauded Gerrard's shot, except Reina.

Yang Cheng laughed. Riise passed the ball from the left. Drogba retreated to get the ball. Gerrard pushed forward at the moment when the Ivorian retreated. The two formed a tacit understanding of counter-running, and then With Drogba's well-timed pass, it can be seen that their cooperation is beginning to look good.

But that doesn’t mean there are no problems!

"Danny, you should have tried to interfere with Didier just now. Don't let him get the ball easily. Also, don't try to fight him physically. You can't fight him!" Yang Cheng reminded.

The surrounding players suddenly laughed, and Drogba chuckled. He could see that Yang Cheng relied heavily on him.

Agger on the bench was depressed. It was you who reminded Drogba to fight with me physically, but now you want me to stop fighting with him physically. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for me?

But Agger also knew that he had indeed made a mistake.

It's not that he made any mistakes, at least he directly blocked Drogba's angle towards the goal, which proves that he did a good job, but he failed to block Gerrard.

All defenders know very well that they must not let the attacker face the goal directly, because the result of doing so will be complete passivity, because the opponent has too many choices, whether they can pass the ball or choose to intervene by themselves. It is very difficult to defend when the ball is played, so today's defenders will do everything possible to prevent the opponent from getting the ball head-on.

But the attacker also knows very well that it is difficult to turn around when holding the ball with your back, because now all the defenders are guarding against turning around. Even someone as awesome as Drogba will find it difficult to turn around easily. , so Yang Cheng pays great attention to one point in his offense, creating as many opportunities to get the ball head-on as possible.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you want to avoid getting the ball behind your back, it is best to pass the ball back from in front of you, that is, just like when Drogba retreated and passed the ball to Gerrard, and the latter pushed forward, Just take the ball head-on, stop the ball easily and then go straight forward, entering the penalty area, almost unstoppable.

Another one is lateral passing.

For example, this time, Drogba still dropped back to get the ball. After receiving the pass from Glen Johnson on the right, he stopped the ball and chose to hit the left side. Ronaldinho had already run over to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he directly Facing Finnan, a flexible but fancy passing move came out of his feet smoothly.

As a result, the ball was intercepted directly by Finnan!

"Hey, Cristiano, are you performing in the acrobatic troupe?" Yang Cheng's shout came from the side of the training ground again.

"I've reminded you many times. To make it simple, you just rush up and pass Finnan. Why do you have to stop and perform those circus moves?"

Xiao Luo gasped and raised his hands, "I'm sorry, boss!"

"Be careful next time. If I see you again, go to the side and practice the 100-meter sprint and return run!"

"Yes, boss!"

When Finnan passed by Xiao Luo, he smiled and scratched the head of this handsome Portuguese boy. He felt that he was too miserable, as if he was being targeted by the boss and causing trouble for him all day long.

But everyone knows that whoever Yang Cheng criticizes is because he has high hopes for him.

Therefore, many people in the team who were criticized did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, they were looking forward to being scolded.

I didn’t realize that Denilson was scolded by Yang Cheng back then. He was scolded and became the World Footballer. Ronaldo was also scolded often, but he was awarded the World Footballer again.

Being able to be scolded by Yang Cheng, I don’t even know how glorious it is to say it. Countless fans want to be scolded but they don’t get the chance!

Besides, Yang Cheng is not Ferguson. He always takes matters into his own hands and rarely scolds his mother.

"The right-wing combination of Danny Murphy and Finnan lacks offensive power. Murphy cannot rush forward quickly. Finnan's cross is good, but he also lacks forward assists. He is better at defense. Glen Johnson's offensive ability Very good, but poor defense." Benitez shook his head and smiled bitterly. If there was a synthesis, it would be great to combine the advantages of Finnan and Glen Johnson in one person.

Yang Cheng nodded. Murphy is a very comprehensive player. He can play on the wing and in the center. His skills are also good. He is also a killer of Manchester United. God knows why he is in full form as soon as he touches Manchester United?

"Cristiano Ronaldo on the left is too sticky for the ball. Riise has good forward penetration ability. After all, he is a midfielder, but he is in the middle. With Davis and Hamann behind him, Gerrard is also more powerful when rushing forward. After being determined and completely liberated, the performance was outstanding.”

Benitez seems to be very optimistic about this Liverpool youth player.

"Cristiano Ronaldo needs to be trained slowly. It is obviously unrealistic to ask him to get rid of these problems all at once. It is best to let him suffer some hardships in the game. He will understand. Next, we will focus on inspecting outstanding players." Ladd’s backfuck.”

After a pause, Yang Cheng suddenly thought, "If Cristiano gets the ball in the frontcourt and can pass it out, it might have a good effect!"

Benitez was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That has to be in a strategic position!"

"It's up to you!" Yang Cheng pointed at Benitez and smiled.

The Spaniard shook his head and sighed, who made him an assistant?

…………

After the noon training session, Yang Cheng rarely left Melwood early and drove straight to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

He had been here several times and found the ward by familiar routes.

"How is it?" The door of the ward was not closed, Yang Cheng knocked on it, stood at the door and asked with a smile.

Both Hans and his wife and Robben, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked over. The latter called "Boss", while Hans called Mr. Yang Cheng.

"Preparing to go in for surgery!" Hans was still a little nervous.

After all, it is surgery, and there are some risks, especially in critical areas.

"Don't worry, it's okay. We are cooperating with the University of Liverpool. This university's start-up update team provided information and someone has won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. It's awesome!" Yang Cheng comforted.

Robben and Hans both nodded. Of course they didn't know that it was all a long, long time ago.

Not long after Yang Cheng arrived, the nurse came over and informed him that he was entering the operating room.

"Be strong, Aryan. Isn't it just to cut off some things from your body that don't belong to you? You'll be alive and kicking in a few days. It's okay!" Yang Cheng said, holding his hand.

Robben was lying on the hospital bed, letting the nurse push him out. He held Yang Cheng's hand tightly and nodded in agreement.

The operation was not major, but it still lasted for a long time. Yang Cheng went outside to eat, and then came back to let Hans and his wife eat to ensure that someone was guarding the outside.

After the operation was completed, Yang Cheng had to rush back.

Robben is still under anesthesia and has not woken up, but the doctor said that the operation was successful!

Leaving Hans and his wife in the hospital, Yang Cheng hurried back to the training base to prepare for the tactical meeting before the afternoon training.

…………

…………

"Everyone writes a blessing, then takes out 5 pounds and puts it on the podium, hurry up!"

As soon as Yang Cheng walked into the war room, he immediately shouted at the noisy players below.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood immediately.

"Boss, did Aryan have surgery?" Hyypia stood up and asked.

Yang Cheng nodded, "It went very well, the operation was very successful, so each of you should write me a blessing, and then take out 5 pounds to buy flowers and have the florist deliver them to express your feelings."

The players below all nodded in agreement.

"Then why don't we go to the hospital to see him together after training in the evening!" Gerrard stood up and suggested.

"Yes, go see him!" Carragher also agreed.

Several other old players also thought they should pay him a visit.

"That's it. When the time comes, organize it yourself and see who is going. I'll leave it to you, Sammy!" Yang Cheng ordered.

Hyypia nodded and agreed. He is the captain of the team and should shoulder such responsibilities.

Next, Yang Cheng began a tactical meeting. He mainly analyzed and commented on the performance of these days of training, including the performance of each player on the team's three lines.

The center back combination of Hyypia and Carragher has worked well together. They have worked together for many years and know each other well. However, Carragher used to play on the wing, and now he is somewhat uncomfortable playing in the middle. But Yang Cheng believes that it will With the accumulation of time and experience, he will perform better and better.

For the time being, Glen Johnson and Leighton Barnes are not yet capable of playing the main role on the wing. Riise and Finnan will be the team's main force, but Yang Cheng will also give the two young players more opportunities. They put enough pressure on the main players to make progress.

The three midfielders must be Hamann, Davis and Gerrard. Alaud Diarra, Essien and Smicer can only serve as substitutes for the time being. Among them, Smicer is a variable for Yang Cheng. I'm thinking about when is the best time to use him.

On the front line, Drogba was the core of the tactics, in the center, and Ronaldinho played on the left. During Robben's absence, Yang Cheng tried Murphy and Kuyt on the right, but these two players were more in tandem. But there is no way to attack the space that Drogba pulled out after retracement like Robben.

In this way, Yang Cheng's offensive focus in the new season will be focused on Gerrard.

Both wings fly together, using Drogba as the fulcrum, Gerrard inserts the attack from the back row!

In order to shorten the distance between players, Yang Cheng is also trying to move the defense line forward 5 meters, not too much, because if it is too much, Liverpool's defense line may not be able to support it.

To put it bluntly, Liverpool does not have Lucio, and Hyypia is not Nesta, so he cannot do what Inter Milan does.

The advantage of moving the defense line forward is that it can shorten the distance between players. Moreover, Liverpool's tactic is that the full-backs push forward and the defense line presses forward. This can also shorten the forward running distance of the full-backs, which can save physical energy consumption.

If you follow Yang Cheng's idea, of course it is best to move forward as much as possible, but if you encounter a speedy forward, paired with a good passing ability, ah, directly defend and counterattack, and pass the ball overhead. , The speed forward counterattacks, that is, one hit and one hit accurately.

Sometimes when a head coach makes a decision, he must consider the overall situation, or even think about the strategic deployment of a season.

For example, it is okay to let the defense not advance forward, but you are afraid that the full-backs will consume too much physical energy, especially since there is no winter break in the Premier League, injuries will inevitably follow and the performance will be affected.

Of course, Yang Cheng is an offensive head coach. He will not give up the tactic of full-backs moving forward. Therefore, he believes that moving forward 5-10 meters depends on the opponent's situation. If he encounters a suitable situation, he can press directly into their hinterland. It's not a problem to fight, right?

Anyway, with Drogba, this omnipotent monster, he can do whatever he wants!

As a head coach, Yang Cheng firmly believes that thinking determines the way out, height determines depth, and layout determines the outcome!

He believes Liverpool will have a good ending!

"All of you must remember one thing firmly and deeply in your mind, that is, offense is never a one-shot deal, because if you waste an opportunity, it is equivalent to creating an opportunity for the opponent, which is equivalent to It hurts ourselves and gives our opponents an advantage at the same time.”

"So I hope everyone can be more patient when attacking and pay more attention to the teammates around you, especially you, Cristiano. Remember, when playing football, you have to hold your head up and observe. We are playing in the same team. You have to integrate into the team as a whole, rather than the team revolving around you, you know what I mean?"

Xiao Luo blushed and nodded to express his understanding.

"The return pass does not mean that the offense has failed, but it means that we are making adjustments, and proper return passes can also stretch the opponent's defense and help us better find loopholes in the opponent's defense."

"But once you find the opponent's loophole, hit him, hit him hard, hit him without hesitation, and don't have the slightest worry, because if you fail, you will still have teammates by your side."

"All of you must understand one thing. Football is a team sport. If you lose the ball, everyone must immediately fight back. Because what you are doing now, when you lose the ball, your teammates will also We will do the same for you, so that we can ensure the quality of our defense, do you understand?"

The players nodded their heads one by one.

In previous tactical meetings, Yang Cheng repeatedly mentioned the importance of delay to the defensive system, and actively investing in counterattacks is the best delay method, which can create more time for the team to organize defense.

Yang Cheng firmly believes in one thing, that is, tactical details should be instilled in them at ordinary times, bit by bit, so that they can slowly remember them, and even strict requirements and controls should be strictly required during training, so that they can gradually adapt to these details, and then It becomes a habit, and when they get to the court, it will slowly show up.

Those guys who improvise are destined to end in tragedy!

…………

…………

When Robben woke up, it was already night and it was already dark.

But there were many more people in the room!

"Wake up!" Captain Hyypia asked Robben with a smile.

Dutch Peter Pan looked a little uncomfortable and wanted to struggle.

"Don't move, the doctor said you can't move!" Father Hans immediately reminded him.

"Why are you all here?" Robben was a little surprised.

Not just the first-team teammates, but also the coaching staff, and the smiling boss leaning against the window.

The ward was small, so the players could only take turns to visit him, care about his condition, and wish him a speedy recovery and return to the team. Each player brought a bouquet of flowers with a blessing written on it, which made Robben The ward was filled with flowers, which were fragrant.

"Thank you, boss!" After seeing off the group of teammates, Robben looked at Yang Cheng gratefully.

Yang Cheng laughed, "It has nothing to do with me, they came spontaneously!"

Robben nodded. He is 19 years old. Although he is young, he is not an idiot and can think about problems.

But since Yang Cheng is unwilling to accept this favor, he won't mention it again. If he does, it will be his mother-in-law, right?

But he will remember it in his heart.

"Recuperate well and return to the team after the wound is healed. I asked them to prepare a separate training for you, which can help you recover faster. I believe your name will be on the list for the Asian tour!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Robben is a player he has high hopes for, and there is no way he will let Robben miss this critical moment in pre-season.

Of course, the premise depends on what the doctor and team doctor say.

"I know, thank you, boss!"

Yang Cheng nodded. As for Robben's medical expenses, the club has bought insurance for the players, so the insurance company will bear most of the expenses. The club will also help cover the rest of the small expenses. In this way, Luo The cost of Luo Ben is very small, and it can even be said that it costs nothing.

The club has already selected a residence for him, provided him with some houses, and took photos to give him options so that he can move in for recuperation. The club also asked the Hans couple to take care of his food and daily life in Liverpool.

Hans has decided to resign from his job and be specifically responsible for Robben's affairs. He will serve as Robben's agent.

In addition to Robben, Normangard also very efficiently found some suitable residences for all the new players who joined the team according to Yang Cheng's requirements, whether it was a single apartment or a manor with a family. He can find them all, and he can always provide several places for players to choose from.

These are all trivial matters, but it is often these trivial matters that distract players and cause them to perform poorly on the court. Therefore, no matter which team Yang Cheng goes to, he always puts placement first. Clubs will be required to take the initiative to take on the responsibility of placing players.

To put it bluntly, the club has been born and raised here and is familiar with everything in the city. However, people like Yang Cheng, Robben, Ronaldinho and others are all new here. Who knows what is going on?

The club takes the initiative to take on these small things, which does not cost much, but can help players integrate into the team faster, better attract players, let them have a sense of belonging, and devote themselves wholeheartedly to training and games.

Weighing the pros and cons, Yang Cheng felt that it was such a good deal and he didn't understand why most teams didn't do it?
