my football i call the shots

Due to Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang's deliberate speeding up, although they were late, the time to complete the warm-up was not much later than the other 21 young men.

Assistant coach Wang Tingrui's running lap today also showed a good state. He actually completed a running distance of 2500 meters before signaling to Cao Chen that he could not run anymore. Such progress was a bit beyond Cao Chen's expectations. Later, After asking, I found out: It turned out that Comrade Xiao Wang was tortured by Cao Chen and had no choice but to apply for a gym membership card, and used his weekends to strengthen his physical fitness. This was a good breakthrough.

This serious attitude is worthy of Cao Chen's affirmation.

So Cao Chen also gave Xiao Wang a rare verbal praise. Although it was not as direct as a bonus, it also made Xiao Wang grin happily. Good job, anyone will be happy to laugh.

"Okay! The lads are assembled."

After resting for a while for the lads who finished the lap, Cao Chen didn't waste any time, and hurriedly called the team together to start the specific content of today's training session.

After waiting for the boys to gather and stand in line, Cao Chen began the important arrangement for today's training session.

"For our 0-2 loss to Nanhu College in the warm-up match on Saturday, I communicated with the opponent's coach Fan, and finally found that our team is still lacking in defense, so regarding our 4-4 -2 double midfielder positions, I need to make some adjustments in defensive positions."

After all, Cao Chen took out his small blackboard as usual.

At this time, the small magnetic blocks on the small blackboard are showing the specific defensive positions of the 4-4-2 double midfielder formation in the friendly match between Nanhu No. [-] Middle School and Nanhu College on Saturday.

"You see, in the past, in terms of defense, we always wanted to take into account the three lines of the side and the center. In this way, although the horizontal span of our entire defense line is large, it also makes our defensive position very loose, and it is easy for the opponent to attack. We can find relatively large gaps between defensive players to cooperate with passing and cutting, and even directly dribble and break through! In this way, no matter how large the horizontal span of our defensive formation is, it will be useless.”

Then, Cao Chen began to adjust the position of the small magnet on the tactical board.

Just like the "little suggestion" that Coach Fan of Nanhu College gave Cao Chen after the game, Cao Chen began to adjust the position of the full-backs. The winger recovered to the two top corners of the penalty area.

Once the wide players recover, the central players will naturally have to adjust their positions.

I saw Cao Chen continued to move the small magnetic block, and the two central defenders were also positioned more tightly. The same was true for the midfielders. They recovered to the front of the penalty area, forming a muscle to intercept the opponent's long-range shots, breakthroughs, and passes. barrier.

"This is the rudiment of our midfield position adjustment. The full-backs and full-backs are collected collectively, so that the team's defensive formation can be concentrated in the middle. In this way, the team's defensive system can also be made more compact, allowing the opponent's Diagonal passes or personal breakthroughs are useless!"

Looking at Cao Chen's defensive arrangement, Bai Xiaolei couldn't help but praise: "Indeed, such a narrow defense in the middle is simply the nemesis for those teams that play pass control. For this kind of iron barrel formation that is concentrated in the middle The best way is to pass the ball from the side and find the center forward to hit it with a header, but it just so happens that our team is the team with the highest average height in the South Lake Division, so we are not afraid of high balls at all."

In fact, Bai Xiaolei's subtext is: My brother is so tall, is golf useful?It's not for my brother to save save data.

But after all there were so many people, Bai Xiaolei still put it mildly.

Regarding Bai Xiaolei's straightforward expression, Cao Chen also nodded in approval: "Yes! Xiaolei is right, it is height! The average height of our Nanhu No. [-] Middle School can be said to dominate the Nanhu competition area. If this is the case, we have to use this Bring out some advantages! Let the opponents need to use their weaknesses to touch our strengths!"

Speaking of this, Cao Chen realized that he had missed some key arrangements due to Bai Xiaolei's interruption just now.

"Everyone continues to look at the tactical board. Shrinking the defense not only makes it extremely difficult for the opponent's pass penetration, but we can also use the advantage of a small number of people to help defend, such as here..."

In the middle of talking, Cao Chen continued to demonstrate the relevant arrangements he wanted to talk about on the tactical board.

I saw Cao Chen moving the positions of the two full-backs, first moving to the side of the full-back, then reset, then moved to the side of the midfielder, reset again, and then moved diagonally to the direction of the central defender.

"Everyone has also seen my movement on the tactical board, right? Once we shrink the lineup, we can form a high-pressing 'triangular defense' in a small area, whether it is full-back and full-back, central defender, or midfielder and side. The triangular area formed by the avant-garde and the central defender will be narrower than the zone defense area in our previous zone defense tactics, so it will be more difficult for the opponent to dribble the ball to make an effective breakthrough!"

Cao Chen continued to give examples because he was worried that the boys would still have doubts.

"If we faced Nanhu College yesterday with this defensive position, the second conceded goal would basically not happen. Although the opponent's low pass is fast, but we have a numerical advantage in the penalty area, and the opponent is very difficult. It’s hard to finish grabbing points calmly, let alone do one-stop and one-dunk.”

Obviously, Cao Chen's example is very direct and effective.

Cao Chen said this to those young men who were still dazed at first, and they suddenly realized it one by one.

"I see!"

At this moment, a person below was also impressed by Cao Chen's defensive arrangement on the tactical board: "Isn't the La Liga team Atletico Madrid's tactics like this! 4-4-2 double midfielder, voluntarily giving up possession, Use the speed and flexibility of the frontcourt to play simple and effective counter balls! If we play well, we are the South Lake City version of Atletico Madrid!!!!!"

That's right, the speaker is naturally Gao Yi!

Gao Yi was still unhappy about Bai Xiaoxi calling Nancheng Middle School "the Atletico Madrid of Nanhu City" in the morning, but judging from Cao Chen's tactical adjustments, they should be the Atletico Madrid team that will soon become Nanhu City's version, not the extremely lucky team. Good South City Secondary School.

"Xiaoyi, one thing you said is wrong. We don't want to completely give up possession of the ball. If we face a weaker opponent, we still have to take the initiative."

After responding to Gao Yi, Cao Chen asked the noisy boys below to be quiet again.

"Next, let's talk about the offensive routine of the 4-4-2 double midfielder tactics. Since our opponent Nancheng Middle School likes to play iron barrels in the next game, let's be firm in the next game and we must take the initiative to attack! Absolutely Don't give the opponent the chance to drag into overtime or even a penalty kick!"

Hearing Cao Chen's words, the boys below showed doubts again.

Facing a team that is good at defending and counterattacking, they also take the initiative to attack. Isn't this sending a counterattack ball to the opponent?After all, once the attack is made, the entire formation of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School will inevitably need to be pushed out. In this way, the opponent's attack can be said to be a one-shot opportunity.

Looking at the doubts on the boys' faces, Cao Chen could only continue to give more detailed guidance.

"Didn't I emphasize to everyone just now, what is the biggest advantage of our Nanhu No. [-] Middle School?"

"It's height."

The boys below could still answer such a simple question, but few of them could figure out Cao Chen's offensive tactics from this advantage.

"Then let me ask you a question: What are the effective means to break through the iron barrel formation in football?"

With Cao Chen's question, he immediately entered the "answering session" without getting stuck.

Wang Bo: "It's a set kick! Both corner kicks and free kicks can be an effective means to break through the iron barrel."

Gao Shiyu: "It's a long shot! Ah... Zhang Linpeng's inward long shot is so cool!"

Li Lei: "It's a header! Ah...so that's it!!!"

Substitute forward Li Lei unexpectedly discovered that he actually became the final winner of this "answering session", with a header!It is indeed a header!Cao Chen's "battering hammer" is a header attack!
Since Li Lei has helped everyone find the answer, the boys are no longer in a daze at this moment, and everyone continues to listen to Cao Chen's detailed analysis of the "battering ram" he designed.

"The three magic weapons for breaking the iron barrel formation have been mentioned by everyone just now... Yes, set kicks, long shots, and headers are all effective means to break the iron barrel formation. In this game, we It is necessary to make good use of the two magic weapons of set kicks and headers!"

After speaking, Cao Chen continued to adjust his position on the tactical board.

First of all, Cao Chen pushed up the entire formation of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School and set up a complete offensive position.

Then, on the basis of the 4-4-2 double defensive midfielder, Cao Chen moved the two full-backs forward to the position of the winger. The position was almost at the top corner of the opponent's penalty area, and the two forward center players were also blocked. Cao Chen "ambushed" inside the opponent's penalty area one after the other. Judging from the logo on the magnetic block, "Little Ibrahimovic" Zhang Ziyang was at the forefront, and the one with a stronger sense of smell in front of Zhang Ziyang was behind Zhang Ziyang. "Cheetah" Gao Yi.

"In the previous training session, I always emphasized to everyone the importance of crossing at a 45-degree angle, and the same is true for our next offensive method. The full-backs should try not to procrastinate, play the ball quickly, and give me a pass into the penalty area when they find an opportunity, and the task of the two center forwards is to hit me hard! Use your height and body to complete the competition in the opponent's penalty area Come on, gnaw off this hard bone of your opponent!"

After all, Cao Chen deliberately looked at Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi. At this time, Cao Chen's eyes revealed an undeniable and unquestionable majesty, as if he was saying to Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang, the striker pair: In the next game, you guys You have to give me a victory like this!If you can't take it, then the two of them are the only ones to ask.

"hiss……"

Facing Cao Chen's sharp eyes, the two young men gasped.

The two of them would never have imagined that Cao Chen actually took out the traditional English long pass. Looking at it this way, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School is like Simeone's Atletico Madrid when defending, and when attacking, they are like Atletico Madrid. Like the routines of traditional English football, the shadow of this header tactic can still be seen in the "Hammers" West Ham United and Stoke City.

But indeed, in the entire Nanhu competition area, even in the Guangfu competition area, which is not known for its physical fitness, it is difficult to find a striker partner with such terrifying heights as Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang. Cao Chen is actually discovering the advantages of their height. .

"Then...coach, are we going to play a 4-2-4 double midfielder tactic when we attack? Should the winger press up and the midfielder also press up to participate in the attack?"

At this time, it was Wang Bo who asked the question. After all, he was the starter in the position of the defensive midfielder, and it was necessary to pursue such doubts to the end.

"No! Before the scene is opened, we need to guard against the opponent's sharp counterattack, so the midfielder does not need and cannot advance forward like a full-back."

Hearing Cao Chen's tough words, the central and backcourt players down there were immediately discouraged—these guys really wanted to grasp the soft persimmon of Nancheng Middle School and experience the feeling of participating in the attack.Now that Cao Chen said that, it was like being poured a basin of cold water.

"Ahem, don't you all be dejected..." Cao Chen showed dissatisfaction on seeing the sudden downturn of the boys below, "I'm not saying that I won't let you participate in the attack at all!"

Cao Chen's last words were like a pardon, which brought the boys back to their senses again, and everyone looked at Cao Chen expectantly.

"As long as the scene is open, the score is ahead, and the situation is fully under control, the midfielder can participate in the offense, including the full-backs, who can also freely insert assists to the frontcourt if their physical fitness allows, and follow the full-backs. Play small-scale cooperation...Of course, the team's overall offense needs to be exchanged for goals and a greater lead, otherwise, I will withdraw your main midfielders and backcourts by then!"

"Uh……"

Everyone didn't expect Cao Chen to say it so harshly. It's just that such words are not purely to scare them. After all, if the overall attack is on the offensive, it is easy to give the opponent a chance to counterattack. If the overall attack cannot be converted into goals, then Nancheng Middle School Counterattacks can be used to give them a fatal blow instead.

This kind of "Waterloo" was the last thing Cao Chen wanted to see, so he had no choice but to remind the boys in a slightly serious tone, telling them not to send the team into the abyss for the sake of offense.

"Are there any other questions? If not, then prepare for free warm-up activities and start practicing the offensive and defensive tactics arranged today!"

"I have a question!!!"

It was none other than Gao Yi who stood up at this time.

"Oh? Gao Yi, what's your problem?"

Seeing Gao Yi's anxious face, which could even be said to be blushing, Cao Chen was also very puzzled. Could it be that Gao Yi saw some negligence in the arrangement on his tactical board?
But it's not right either!This set of tactics has been repeatedly simulated and drilled many times, and there are basically no mistakes.

But since Gao Yi opened his mouth, Cao Chen could only let him talk about his problems.

Facing Cao Chen, Gao Yi was a little embarrassed to say anything, after all, his problems were rather trivial.

But Gao Yi couldn't hold back in the end, and boldly said his "problem": "Coach Cao! I want to go to the bathroom, I can't help it..."

"...Go! After going to the toilet, lap twice!"

"Thank you coach..."

After thanking the coach, Gao Yi flew in the direction of WC like a flying arrow off the string.

Gao Yi, who was naturally dumbfounded, immediately made the boys below roar with laughter. He really is a dude, and he can always stand up to ease everyone's emotions when they are a little nervous.

Everyone also ignored other things for the time being, and took advantage of the time to disperse the team and start warm-up activities, preparing for the running-in of this new tactic later.
