my football i call the shots

Taking advantage of the good time on Friday night, the boys of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School are also rushing to do their homework. After all, there will be training sessions on Saturday afternoons. Everyone still hopes to get rid of the mountain of homework on hand, and then step on it easily. Going to the green field will make you more focused during training.

At noon on Saturday, Zhang Ziyang went to Gao Yi's house as scheduled to have lunch and study together.

But because Gao Xun was not at home, Gao Yi immediately felt a little distressed by Zhang Ziyang's meal. After all, there was only his mother at home, so it was fine for Gao Yi to sneak out.

Just like the training camp during the National Day, Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi started to pack their things and left home at 3:[-], and took a luxury car to Nanhu No. [-] Middle School.

Walking into the campus, Gao Yi, who was bathed in the sun, stretched his waist comfortably: "Hey! It's so comfortable. In the afternoon, I must break through the defensive line of the substitute side. The last game was 0-0. It was so depressing."

"Then let's go for it. It's weird just talking. I feel that Mr. Wang seems to be targeting us on purpose. You have no problem with anti-offside several times. Why do you call offside?"

It's good that Zhang Ziyang didn't bring up this matter, but when he mentioned it, Gao Yi immediately looked aggrieved.

"That's right! I really don't know if Mr. Wang understands offside..."

Just when Gao Yi wanted to continue complaining, Zhang Ziyang suddenly tugged on his sleeve.

"What are you doing???"

Gao Yi was taken aback by Zhang Ziyang's tugging. He asked Zhang Ziyang with a puzzled face, but Zhang Ziyang didn't say anything, but kept winking in the direction of Gao Yi's back.

With doubts in his heart, Gao Yi looked back.

"Uh... Hello, Mr. Wang."

After greeting Teacher Wang behind him, Gao Yi turned around and stuck out his tongue at Zhang Ziyang and made a grimace. It turned out that Teacher Wang was walking behind Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang with a depressed face at this time. No wonder Zhang Ziyang dragged him so mysteriously. Give yourself a hand.

Perhaps intentionally, Mr. Wang, who had been walking behind Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang, speeded up his footsteps on purpose, passed them to the front, and went straight to the sports team office by himself.

Because they were behind their backs, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang couldn't see Teacher Wang's dumbfounding expression.

How could Xiao Wang not hear Gao Yi's complaints?
But that is purely suffering that cannot be explained!

Such an arrangement was Cao Chen's idea at all, and it was not a problem with Xiao Wang's professional ability at all!

In the university, Xiao Wang has always been an outstanding representative of the referee team of the school football association. In important games, Xiao Wang personally blows the whistle. How could he commit such a stupid act of misjudging offside?

But until now, Xiao Wang still doesn't understand what Cao Chen's intention is. Why did he deliberately let Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang run parallel to the last defender of the yellow team as offside?

What kind of medicine is sold in Cao Chen's gourd?
Well, after thinking about it for two days, Xiao Wang still couldn't figure out what Cao Chen's intention was.

Since he couldn't guess, Xiao Wang simply gave up. After all, it is rare for a newcomer to be added to the sports team office. Cao Chen handed over the usual tedious work to Xiao Wang. At present, Xiao Wang still has to obediently concentrate on Cao Chen's arrangement. In terms of work, it is king to finish those piles of odd jobs early!

.........

When Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang walked to the court of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, they immediately realized that something was wrong!
At this time, in the stadium of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, there is actually a team that is also doing warm-up training, and the other boys of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School team have the same expressions on their faces as Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang. Everyone is very curious about this team. Who is the team occupying their field.

"Ziyang, Gao Yi, you are here."

Looking at Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi's surprised eyes on the field, captain Wang Bo also warmly greeted them.

"Captain, who is that team over there?" Gao Yi asked first,
"Oh, you said them." Captain Wang Bo smiled honestly: "That is our opponent today!"

"Opponent?" Zhang Ziyang frowned: "What's going on? I didn't hear anything from Coach Cao yesterday. Captain, do you know the origin of this team?"

"I know! They are the football team of Nanhu College. At present, the Nanhu College team ranks 24th among the 6 teams in the South Division of the University Football League, and their strength is very strong."

"what???"

After listening to Wang Bo's answer, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang looked at each other in blank dismay—that is to say, they were going to play a game with a university team in the afternoon, and it was a pretty good team!

Seeing their warm-up opponents warming up in such a well-trained manner, Gao Yi suddenly felt a little bit unsure: "With such a team, can we win?"

"It doesn't matter whether you win or not..." Wang Bo looked at Gao Yi's discouraged look, and as the captain, he quickly added positive energy to Gao Yi: "Anyway, it's just a warm-up, and it's okay to fight against such a powerful opponent." It’s a good test to test the hardness of our defense line.”

"Ah."

Obviously, Zhang Ziyang also agrees with Wang Bo's words very much. He nodded and said: "Gao Yi, let's not press too far ahead, and cooperate with the midfielder to destroy the opponent's passes and catches, and see if we can steal them with counterattacks." indivual."

"Well, I will then."

Since it was only about ten minutes before 4:[-] p.m., Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang did not dare to neglect. They quickly put on their jerseys and equipment and started warming up on the track.

Since the stadium was occupied by the Nanhu College team at this time, the players of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School could only do turnaround runs or pass and catch the ball in the small field behind the goal to warm up.

It was almost 4 o'clock when the time came. Cao Chen and assistant coach Wang Tingrui finally came late, and their hands were not idle. Cao Chen carried the score board, Xiao Wang held the electronic clock, the side flag, and hung it around his neck. With several whistles, obviously, these are all things that will be used in the warm-up match later.

After entering the court area, Xiao Wang and Cao Chen also began to divide the work. Xiao Wang trotted to the sidelines to communicate with several friendly referees about the warm-up match in the afternoon.And Cao Chen blew the assembly whistle in his hand, signaling the boys from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School to gather around him.

Coincidentally, the coaches of Nanhu College also asked the team to finish adapting to the venue shortly after they assembled in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School.

It was obviously a college team. The players of Nanhu College moved very quickly, and they were not noisy. When they came to the sidelines, they immediately lined up in three neat rows, waiting for their coach to speak.

Looking at the well-trained three rows on the other side of the field, Cao Chen couldn't help but sigh a little. The team's age group is different, and the overall quality shown is indeed too poor.

Although the two horizontal rows in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School are considered neat, they just don't have a chilling look like the boys in Nanhu College, which makes the viewers tremble.

Envy is envy, his team has assembled, Cao Chen should get to the point quickly.

"Okay! Don't talk about it, the content of our training class today is very simple. We will play a warm-up match with the Nanhu College team. Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance that the Nanhu College team is currently ranked very high in the college student league. Very strong."

Although he was wary of the players, Cao Chen didn't show a trace of nervousness on his face. Maybe he thought it was impossible for Nanhu No. [-] Middle School to defeat this warm-up opponent?
After inoculating the players, Cao Chen also began to arrange the tactical formation for this warm-up match.

“星期四的训练课我已经跟大家说好了，咱们会在接下来的比赛中尝试4-4-2双后腰阵型，相信大家回去后肯定对4-4-2双后腰阵型有所思考了。”

The boys below nodded in unison.

"The starting players are the same as Thursday's training session, but this time we will not continue to try to pass and control the football, and continue to play the defensive counterattacks we are familiar with. The total number of goals scored in the South Division of the University League has reached the second place in the league!"

"hiss……"

The opponent's strong offensive power also made the young men in the middle and back field gasp. They never expected that Cao Chen would find such a "big boss" to test the strength of their defense.

"If there is no problem, then let's emphasize the things that should be paid attention to in each position. In today's game, the full-backs should help the full-backs to do a good job in assisting defense. The most important thing is to defend the wings."

The four wide players nodded.

Against an opponent like Nanhu Academy, which is basically impossible to win, if the full-back advances too many times, it is basically looking for death. Although the full-back occasionally participates in the attack, it is impossible to do too many times.

After all, they also have to ensure that they are mainly based on defense. If they can go up but can't come back to fill their positions, then this kind of forward penetration is courting death.

"Ah Sheng, this time you are in charge of delaying the defense, and Ziqi is in charge of attacking. Don't confuse the responsibilities of the two. Don't let the opponent succeed in the back. As far as I know, the forward of Nanhu College is a good horse. fast horse."

Wang Sheng and Zhang Ziqi were a little surprised.

In the previous arrangement, Wang Sheng was in charge of attacking, and Zhang Ziqi was in charge of assisting defense. Perhaps Cao Chen wanted to switch the roles of the two to test whether other collocation methods are better?

After all, it is a warm-up match, and it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The key is to find out the team's problems and areas where the team can improve.

"Hao Han, don't go forward, stay in the backcourt to fill up at any time, Wang Bo, take the ball less and make ground pushes, the ground control between us and Nanhu College is completely two levels of things, directly high ball to the frontcourt to find Ziyang And Gao Yi. Ziyang and Gao Yi, you two, don’t get too out of touch with the midfielder, try to help the midfielder reduce the defensive pressure, if possible, try to press in high positions, and don’t let the opponent’s defenders easily launch long shots. Pass to organize the attack."

Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang nodded confidently.

Indeed, in this completely unequal game, there is no need for Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang to test their offensive sharpness. They might as well assist the team in defense and reduce the defensive pressure on the midfield as much as possible.

"High pressing" is also a subject that Cao Chen unexpectedly thought of after watching a La Liga game last night.

In fact, in the current European football, it is not new for forward players to execute high-position pressing orders. High-position pressing can not only reduce the possibility of opponents launching counterattacks, but also steal some opportunities for counterattacks with a higher success rate.

With Gao Yi as an "artifact of counterattack" in the team, once the ball can be intercepted at the defender's feet, it is likely to be a chance for a one-handed goal. Such a great tactic, Cao Chen naturally has to test it out .

"Anyway, everyone, don't pay too much attention to winning or losing this game. I don't blame you if you lose. I won't reward you if you win. Just play according to your normal heart and follow the tactics I arranged. Do you understand!?"

"clear!!!"

The 22 young men of Nanhu No. [-] High School Team gave Cao Chen an affirmative answer.

But why 22?

Because, at this moment, Bai Xiaolei was looking at Cao Chen with a gloomy expression on his face, and Cao Chen was very curious about that hesitant expression.

"Xiao Lei, do you have any questions???"

"Uh..." Bai Xiaolei paused, and finally a word came out of his mouth: "Yes!"

"What's the problem, but it's okay to say."

"Coach Cao, you have arranged tactics for the front, middle and back courts, but you have not arranged tactics for me!" Bai Xiaolei's dissatisfied expression also made the boys around him laugh.

"Haha, Xiaolei, since you want me to arrange tactics for you, that's fine! You can try to play like a scavenger goalkeeper in this game, and try to expand your defensive area."

"Scavenger Keeper?"

Bai Xiaolei's eyes immediately brightened. In the 14 World Cup in Brazil, the German goalkeeper Neuer's "restless" attacks made everyone's eyes shine. Later, this "scavenger goalkeeper" with a huge defensive coverage also Gradually becoming a trend in international football, the goalkeepers of various teams began to try to expand their defensive areas. Of course, some did the same as Neuer, and some were completely reduced to pits...

After all, the scavenger goalkeeper has extremely high requirements for the goalkeeper-not only must have extraordinary speed, but also have extremely high nerve response, and even have good footwork.

These conditions are somewhat harsh for those goalkeepers on the court who are basically over 190 centimeters tall.

But Bai Xiaolei does have these talents. As a big man of 191 cm, Bai Xiaolei's speed is not slow, and his nerve reaction speed is also fast when throwing close-range balls.As for the footwork, Bai Xiaolei's heart as a forward player is also an excellent interpretation-do you dare to yell at the coach that you want to play a forward without a certain footwork?
In fact, Bai Xiaolei wanted to try Neuer's "scavenger goalkeeper" style of play with a huge defensive coverage on the court a long time ago, but the coaches he met tended to be conservative in their coaching philosophy, and most of them hoped that Bai Xiaolei Just deal with this matter in the small restricted area.

Looking at Bai Xiaolei's piggy-like appearance, Cao Chen reminded him helplessly: "Trying is nothing but trying, and you have to be careful not to go too far. Although it was a warm-up match, you were slaughtered 8-0 or 10-0. , that's ugly too."

"Coach Cao, don't worry!" Bai Xiaolei raised his head and raised his chest, patted his chest with confidence, "I will definitely show you my 'Bai Neuer' talent!"

"Haha, I hope so."

Then, Cao Chen encouraged the boys below: "In short, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but the tactics must be executed well, the overall defense must be good, and to avoid injuries, even if you lose the ball, you must not lose the ball. You hurt others or yourself in the warm-up match, do you understand???"

"clear!!!"

"Okay, get ready, the game is about to start!"

"it is good!!!"

There was an overwhelming roar from below, and the morale of the boys was boosted one by one.

The boys from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School played a warm-up match at home for the first time, and the opponent was a strong university team. What kind of game can these boys play?
Let's wait and see! o(∩_∩)o
