my football i call the shots

Before the start of the second half, the players from both sides came out of the fan channel with different emotions.

Players like Xinmeng Middle School did not look as high-spirited as they were at the beginning of the first half. Even some players who only knew how to shoot long shots from the outside in the first half looked a little frustrated. During the intermission, the head coach taught them a lot.

On the other hand, Nancheng Middle School looked very relaxed, just like when they entered the field in the first half, everyone was talking and laughing, and they didn't feel the loss of being held in halftime for 45 minutes for "halftime offensive and defensive drills".

If you don't know, or if you are a fan who just entered the field, you may think that Nancheng Middle School held down Xinmeng Middle School for 45 minutes of crazy attack in the first half?
But the score on the electronic board is enough to explain something.

With a score of 0 to 0, it is destined that it is not the time for everyone to smile excitedly.

After all, there is only one team that advances, and this game must be decided!

The fans in the stands may have been more or less depressed after watching the dull 45-minute game in the first half. Watching their respective home teams walking on the field, they did not have the kind of encouragement to shout loudly, maybe Well, when they are accumulating energy and waiting for the goal to happen, they shout with all their strength?

However, judging from Nancheng Middle School's rogue defensive formation in the first half and Xinmeng Middle School's shooting accuracy without shooting boots at all, the fans probably have to wait an extra 45 minutes in the second half plus 30 minutes of overtime if they want to see a goal. , You can't see it until the penalty shootout, right?

This kind of game is really not what the fans like to see.

Fans like to watch offensive football, watching goals are constantly "swish, swish, swish", otherwise it would be a bit boring to sit for nine or 10 minutes.

Fans love attacking football, and they love seeing more goals in limited games.

As it was getting late, the Xinghu Middle School stadium also turned on the high-energy spotlights on both sides, so that the audience in the stands could see the situation on the stadium more clearly—especially the potholed Xinghu Middle School field.

The players on both sides did not procrastinate, and quickly established their formations in their respective halfs after playing.

"Beep..."

The referee was not hypocritical, and gave a long cry, and the second half of the game began! ! !
Red jersey's new dream middle school kicks off! ! !
Like the first half of the game, Xinmeng Middle School continued to press Nancheng Middle School to play a "half-court offensive and defensive battle" at the halftime. The tide of offensives followed one after another, while Nancheng Middle School was still the old routine. Continue to put on a wonderful "4-6-0" formation and wait for it.

"It's like this again!!! Depressed, does Nancheng Middle School really want to drag the game into a penalty shootout???"

Gao Yi watched this dull game, and he couldn't help but continue to complain.

Listening to Gao Yi's complaints, Cao Chen was also amused and laughed: "A penalty shootout is not impossible, at least judging from the current development situation, the game still follows the idea of ​​Nancheng Middle School's head coach. "

"The idea of ​​the head coach of Nancheng Middle School???"

Cao Chen looked at the back of Nancheng Middle School coach Tang Minghai with a smile on his face: "Yes, I know the head coach of Nancheng Middle School. This kind of iron barrel formation can be regarded as one of his tactical characteristics."

Hearing Cao Chen's words, Zhang Ziyang was very surprised: "Coach Cao, you know the head coach of Nancheng Middle School."

Cao Chen nodded: "Yes, Tang Minghai, the head coach of Nancheng Middle School, is a member of the grassroots coach training class with me. His tactical thinking is very defensive. In his opinion, as long as he is based on defense, he can Being invincible, this kind of tactical thinking is actually very applicable in this kind of one-round elimination game."

"Oh???"

"I used to lead the team to do drills in the training class. Tang Minghai led an amateur team to abruptly drag a middle-upstream team in the second-tier league into a penalty shootout. Although he lost in the penalty shootout in the end, his The defensive tactics really made all the coaches who watched the game shine!"

As he spoke, Cao Chen sighed, as if he had returned to the days when he was still receiving training from grassroots coaches in the training class of the General Administration of Sports.

"In that drill, Tang Minghai's defensive tactics were full of surprises, from high position pressing, to midfield melee, and even psoriasis tactics in the backcourt... It can be said that only you can't think of it, and he can't do it without him. The entire amateur team His defense has been trained by him to be comparable to the upper reaches of the second-tier league."

Speaking of this, Cao Chen's face became a little embarrassed, and he could even be said to be a little embarrassed: "Actually, I was the coach who led the professional team in that game. There is really no way. Coach Tang's defense is too strong. If it weren't for their poor shot in the penalty shootout, otherwise, we might have lost the game in an upset."

"Wow!!!" Gao Yi seemed a little unbelievable: "Coach Cao, you just narrowly won! It's unbelievable!"

"Yeah, the result of the penalty shootout in that drill was 5 to 4, and their penalty shooter missed the last goal... After all, the professional team I led was lucky in that game, but indeed, that game Coach Tang's tactical arrangement in the game made the coaches in the same training class shine."

Hearing Cao Chen's words, Zhang Ziyang frowned. He seemed a little unbelievable that a coach who trained and defended so well would choose to be a grassroots coach in an unknown high school.

At least, in Zhang Ziyang's understanding, this kind of coach who is good at training the overall defense is very popular in professional teams.

Because of his curiosity, Zhang Ziyang still couldn't help expressing his doubts to Cao Chen: "Coach Cao, this coach Tang is so good at training and defending, why does he want to be a coach at the grassroots level? Even if he can't be the head coach, Then he can also go to a professional team as an assistant coach in charge of training defense."

"No." Cao Chen shook his head solemnly: "Not every coach wants to work in a professional team, and some even give up their position in a professional team and switch to grassroots football, grassroots football, youth training... and such There are plenty of coaches, not a few at all."

After finishing speaking, Cao Chen let out a long sigh: "Hey, just think about it, if all the excellent coaches are concentrated in the professional arena, then who will cultivate more excellent seedlings at the grassroots level and send them to the professional team? The pyramid needs top-level coaches. Brilliance also needs the stability of the grassroots!"

Cao Chen's choice back then was not because of this!

In order to be able to discover more grassroots talents and more good seedlings, he resolutely gave up his high-paying position in the professional team and devoted himself to the career of coaching grassroots football incognito, in order to hope to be able to contribute to the bottom of the Chinese football pyramid. , I hope the pyramid of Chinese football will be healthier and more stable!

"Actually, among the grassroots coaches, there are also many amazing coaches. Their ability to train the team is even stronger than the coaches of professional teams! After all, coaches at the grassroots level and parents who are parents Over time, he will have a more profound and thorough understanding of the team's operation than the coaches of professional teams."

After all, Cao Chen looked at Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi's half-understanding expressions with a half-smile, and only then did he realize that what he said was a bit too much.

Cao Chen's words were relatively deep, which also made Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang confused. After all, they were only 16 years old. It is impossible to deeply understand.

"Kids, let's work hard! When we reach the professional team in the future, we can also certify for grassroots coaches like us. When you get kicked out, our hard work over the years will be rewarded!"

After all, Cao Chen looked expectantly into the distance.

Those eyes full of ideals seemed to see the future, a beautiful and ideal future!
