my football i call the shots

Perhaps feeling the slightly startled emotions of the boys below, Cao Chen suddenly relaxed the tense muscles on his face, and regained his characteristic gentleness as a Confucian handsome.

"But don't worry everyone. After watching the game yesterday, I can be sure that the overall strength of this Nancheng Middle School team is not as good as ours. Even Xinmeng Middle School, which unfortunately lost, will not be our opponent. Today I just give you a shot. Vaccination, I don't want everyone to capsize in the gutter, right???"

After all, Cao Chen shrugged mischievously.

Such an "old urchin"-like spoof gesture also swept away the tense and astonished haze of the boys below.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had adjusted, Cao Chen continued to return to the topic of the training class.

"Okay, let's take a look at the tactical replay of yesterday's game!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Chen signaled his assistant Xiao Wang to pick up the whiteboard on the ground, while he himself pointed to the small magnets already placed on the whiteboard and started his opinion on yesterday's game.

"Yesterday's game was actually very dull. I told the big guys just now that the score was 1 to 0, and the goal was scored almost in the stoppage time of the second half. So, in Xinmeng Middle School How did Nancheng Middle School survive under the violent bombardment? Let’s take a look here first.”

After all, Cao Chen pointed to the small blue magnet representing Nancheng Middle School.

"You see, on the back line, Nancheng Middle School's defense line is very lagging behind, which makes it difficult for Xinmeng Middle School to penetrate the ground and complete the anti-offside attack. In terms of midfield, Nancheng Middle School completely gave up attacking and used 6 middle school players. The players on the field are entangled with the offensive players of Xinmeng Middle School to prevent the opponent from using their personal abilities to break through and tear the defense line... But Nancheng Middle School's defensive tactics are different from other teams. They seldom fight close to the opponent. It is to choose to stand in the formation and block the opponent's passing path and breakthrough path, which also saves them a lot of physical energy and can be invested in the counterattack at the end of the second half."

Then, Cao Chen continued to replay the weird transfer of Nancheng Middle School.

I saw that Cao Chen first moved the small magnet on the whiteboard to the position of the midfielder, and then moved the two small magnets in the midfield to the right and to the right of the central axis.

After moving and confirming that it was correct, Cao Chen turned his head to look at the boys in his team. As expected, he found that except for Gao Yi, Zhang Ziyang, and Bai Xiaolei, the other 20 boys in the team were all at a loss. It's like seeing a calculus of advanced mathematics at the junior high school level.

But right away, as a "professor-level" person, Cao Chen answered questions for everyone.

"Nancheng Middle School only made two substitutions in the whole game. One was a matchup substitution, and the other was very crucial. Everyone saw my movement on the blackboard just now... That's right, Nancheng Middle School made the second substitution. The personnel transfer is to replace their only striker with a defensive midfielder, and then secretly change the position of the two midfielders to form a weird 4-4-2 midfield parallel position!"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Chen patted the two frontcourt players with strange positions on the whiteboard twice: "Nancheng Middle School's last counterattack was successful, and it was these two frontcourt players with strange positions who cooperated in a small area Push forward, and then return to the player who plugged in to complete the final decision! It is conceivable that this weird position is not accidental, but one of the cores of Nancheng Middle School's tactical board."

After reviewing the tactical formation of Nancheng Middle School, Cao Chen said with a straight face: "So, after thinking about it last night, I decided that we will temporarily stop using the 5-3-2 formation in the third round! Come and try out the 4-5-1 formation today!"

4-5-1 formation? ? ?

After listening to Cao Chen's words, the boys at the bottom were all thinking for a while. Some of them couldn't find the reason yet, while some, such as a smart player like Bai Xiaolei, already understood the meaning of Cao Chen's change of formation.

Cao Chen's replay illustrates the core of Nancheng Middle School's counterattack tactics.

That is the small-scale quick cooperation between the side road and the middle road!
Although Nancheng Middle School scored a counterattack goal from the right side in the last game, it is not guaranteed that Nancheng Middle School will continue to make a fuss on the right side in the third round against Nanhu No. [-] Middle School!
Therefore, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School needs to increase manpower on the left and right flanks, so as to curb Nancheng Middle School's defensive counterattack on the flanks!

Although there are many different ways to change the 4-5-1 formation, there are two positions that will not change, that is, there will be two full-back players on the wing of the midfield!
The existence of these two full-backs can not only form an offensive player who inserts in the counterattack, but also help defend with the full-backs, forming a double-teaming trend, and curbing the side tactics of Nancheng Middle School. In addition, Nancheng Middle School The overall strength is not as good as Nanhu No. [-] Middle School. Nanhu No. [-] Middle School can completely play midfield control against the most "big" opponent encountered in this high school football league.

It can be said that: advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, kill two birds with one stone.

Hearing that Cao Chen will adopt a 4-5-1 formation in the third round, it is natural that some people are happy and some are worried.

For example, Ouyang Rui, the backbone of the defense in the first round, suddenly looked sad because he knew that if he left the 5-back system, he could only continue to sit on the bench.

Looking at Ouyang Rui's gloomy face, Cao Chen could only give him a sorry look.

"Okay, now let's arrange the tentative starting list."

After all, Cao Chen took out the 11 tentative starters that he had already written in his trouser pocket.

"Bai Xiaolei, Liu Yang, Wang Sheng, Zhang Ziqi, Gao Shiyu, Wang Fei, Li Haohan, Wang Bo, Bian Dongnan, Gao Yi, Zhang Ziyang, you will form the starting lineup for today's training session."

Since he won the second round without a fight, Wang Sheng's red card suspension was skipped within the rules.

Speaking of loopholes in the rules, I have to share with you an anecdote about the Super League in 08.

In the 2008nd round of the Chinese Super League in 22, Shanghai Shenhua took the initiative to "apply" for a yellow card in the match against Shandong Luneng. After the whole game, the referee Zhao Liang showed a total of 10 yellow cards and 1 red. Shuffle the door" event.

Perhaps everyone will be curious, why did Shenhua apply for so many yellow cards?

This is mainly because in the 23rd round Shanghai Shenhua met Wuhan Optics Valley who retired from the game. Those Shenhua players who should be suspended with a red card or 4 yellows will naturally benefit from the rules. "Innocent Body" played in the 23th round against Guangzhou Medicine (now Guangzhou Evergrande).

This incident also made Guangzhou Medical Club very angry, because the opponents they will face next will basically play against Wuhan Optics Valley first, and then they will face them. Now that Shenhua has made such a start, naturally some teams will follow suit And up.

In the end, the Football Association held an emergency meeting to deal with this matter urgently: 15 clubs signed a commitment agreement, promising that starting from the 23rd round, if there are four yellow cards, the next round will be against the Wuhan team Yes, the current round of yellow cards will not take effect but will be postponed until the next round to take effect, so as to completely prevent the unhealthy trend of "shuffle the door" from continuing to occur.

However, Shenhua's shuffling behavior is not illegal in terms of rules, so the Football Association cannot impose any punishment on it. In the end, under pressure, Shenhua Club can only let the "intentional shuffling" players Yu Tao and Jiang Kun did not play in the 24th round against Guangzhou Medicine.

Reasonable shuffling behavior is also very common in European football.

For example: Real Madrid has accumulated 4 yellow cards before this round of the game (5 yellow cards in La Liga are suspended), and in the next round, Real Madrid will face the team in the relegation zone, and in the second round, it will be Madrid derby in full swing.

Under such circumstances, the head coach will take the initiative to ask Ronaldo to apply for a yellow card in this round of the game, and then take a rest in the next round of the game against the underdogs, and return to the game with a "clean body" full of energy in the second round of the game!
This kind of shuffling can be regarded as behavior within the rules.

(PS: Football is a sport full of wisdom.)
The [-] players whose names were called out were immediately refreshed. Cao Chen's tentative starting lineup was basically the starting lineup for the next game, and there would not be many variables here.

But immediately, someone below raised a question.

"Coach Cao, if there are two forwards, who will retreat to the midfield position?"

It was Bai Xiaolei who spoke. As the player with the highest tactical literacy in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, Bai Xiaolei immediately discovered the problem.

"This question..."

Cao Chen paused, and glanced at the expressions of Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi at this moment. At this time, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang's faces were also full of surprise. They thought just now that if they played in a 4-5-1 formation If so, Cao Chen should only send one striker to play, but now that two strikers are playing at the same time, how will Cao Chen arrange it?
"Ahem, this question will be arranged after the effect of the training session."

Hearing what Cao Chen said, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang nodded in understanding.

In fact, whether it is Zhang Ziyang or Gao Yi, the two of them don't care about who will be the starter and who will be the substitute. They both understand that as players, they should obey the coach's tactics first, and whether they can play or not.

Therefore, after hearing that Cao Chen decided to use a 4-5-1 formation in the third round, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang did not feel nervous because there was only one forward position.

But now, Cao Chen decided to let Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi start at the same time, which can be regarded as a happy situation for all.

"Okay, everyone, put on your equipment, stretch yourself, and get ready to start training in the afternoon!"

"it is good!!!"

……

After giving the order, Cao Chen greeted Xiao Wang next to him and walked towards the football field.

On the way to the football field, Cao Chen also began to give Xiao Wang his first task after becoming an assistant coach.

"Xiao Wang, for this afternoon's game, you should try to be a line referee first. Find some time recently to review some of the referee's things. If you can, go sign up for training and get a referee certificate."

Xiao Wang nodded and agreed.

In college, Xiao Wang has been one of the referees of the school football association, but he has been working for several years, and some things have long been forgotten.

Now being transferred to this idle job, Xiao Wang is also so happy, he can just make good use of his time to make up for his previous sports hobby.

After receiving the side flag from Cao Chen, Xiao Wang was about to run to the sidelines to take his seat, but Cao Chen unexpectedly called out to him.

"Xiao Wang, wait a minute, you come back."

"Ah???" Xiao Wang turned around in a daze, and asked suspiciously: "Director Cao, shouldn't you explain what you have to say? Do you have anything else to add?"

"Yes!!!" Cao Chen looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then mysteriously signaled Xiao Wang to come to him.

"Uh……"

Going to Cao Chen's side, Cao Chen moved close to Xiao Wang's ear, covered it with a cover, and added a special order to Xiao Wang in a low voice.

After hearing this instruction, Xiao Wang seemed a little unbelievable, because this instruction was so special.

So, Xiao Wang looked at Cao Chen again with puzzled eyes, as if he was asking: "Did I hear correctly???"

Cao Chen in front of him just nodded slightly when he responded to Xiao Wang's life, naturally he was very sure of what he said just now.

Although Xiao Wang still felt a little baffled, Cao Chen's order was like this, so he could only accept the task obediently, although Xiao Wang always felt that if he accepted this task, he would be beaten up by the affected players...

I don't know, can everyone guess what kind of special order Cao Chen gave Xiao Wang?
