my football i call the shots

With the joining of Ouyang Rui and the withdrawal of Bian Dongnan, in this training session, the main lineup of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has also undergone obvious changes.

阵容也从之前一直沿用的4-4-2改变成5-3-2。

Although on paper, the lineup of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School seems to have only moved a player from the midfield to the backcourt.

However, from a tactical point of view, this seemingly insignificant change in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has turned the entire team's defensive distribution upside down-although the offensive end is still the same, Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi are two people who carry the sky. .

On the defensive end, the three midfielders are close together in the middle, forming the first barrier on the defensive end.

On the back line, the two full-backs are positioned higher than when playing a 4-4-2 formation, which is mainly to make up for the lack of manpower in the wing defense.

The positioning area of ​​the two central defenders remains unchanged, and behind the two central defenders, the sweeper Ouyang Rui sits like a "meat grinder".

Such a theoretically absolutely suffocating defensive lineup gave Cao Chen an "unexpected" effect. (PS: That's right! Double quotes are added~)

The moment Cao Chen blew the whistle to start the team training match, the defensive positions of the entire team began to be chaotic.

"Oops! Li Haohan, you've replaced me!!!"

"Halo, Liu Yang, Gao Shiyu, you two are standing too far ahead!!!"

"Wang Fei, why are you coming to the left???"

……

All kinds of questions that Cao Chen couldn't think of came up one after another.

On paper, arranging such a 5-3-2 formation, which seems to be able to fully compensate for the lack of defensive ability of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, has become a nightmare for the main blue team.

In less than 20 minutes of the team's training match, the blue team was given two goals by the yellow team.

However, these two goals were all penetrated by the substitute lineup from the wing, and they were all very simple oblique passes.

The yellow team’s simple and rough oblique pass, if used in the 4-4-2 lineup before, is basically the rhythm for the blue team’s full back to clear the siege, but in this 5-3 that Cao Chen has given high hopes In the -2 formation, it has become a tried and tested killer move for the substitute yellow team.

If it weren't for Ouyang Rui's wide-ranging running to clear the siege in the position of the scavenger, and the main goalkeeper "Brother Octopus" Bai Xiaolei jumping up and down to block, otherwise, the current main blue team would probably be beaten to the ground by the substitute yellow team up.

Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang did not participate in the team's overall defense when the main blue team was pressed by the substitute yellow team.

This was not because Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi were lazy, but because it was a special order from Cao Chen before the start of the team match.

Cao Chen requested in this intra-team match: Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi can only follow the two central defenders of the substitute yellow team, and they cannot force other players except the substitute yellow team's back line.

After listening to such a "wonderful" order, Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi also looked at each other in blank dismay: What kind of game is this coach Cao playing?

But when they came to the field, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang, two players with extremely high golf intelligence, immediately understood Cao Chen's intentions.

Cao Chen did this for two purposes.

First, train Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi's grasp of "anti-offside" tactics in counterattacks.

From the 13th minute to the 16th minute of the game, both Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi were fouled by the "official referee" Cao Chen for offside.

Originally, it was a one-handed opportunity created by teammates with a long pass from the backcourt to the two of them, but they were both missed due to offside problems.

Second, understand the five-back formation and the defensive tacit understanding of the midfield.

However, the problems exposed in the second point are definitely enough to give Cao Chen a headache, not only the wing defense behind the premise of the two full-backs, but also the regularity of the midfield due to the three midfielders standing close together. Reset problem.

None of this can be done in a short while.

Seeing the worst defense of the main blue team, Cao Chen stopped the game in the 31st minute after the substitute yellow team scored their third goal of the game.

"Beep... come here!!!"

From Cao Chen's tone, everyone could hear that the anger was already overflowing, especially the defensive players of the main blue team. They still knew how badly they performed.

"I'm sorry, Coach Cao."

After leaving the field, Wang Bo was the first to apologize to Coach Cao. This was not only his attitude, but also his attitude as the captain of the No. [-] middle school team.

In the intra-team match, due to the overcrowded midfield position, Wang Bo and Li Haohan frequently overlapped in position. In the middle of the "scrambling position" in the midfield, Wang Bo even lost his temper rarely.

It can be seen that due to the team's one-sided overall defense, the players' emotions have also experienced inexplicable restlessness.

However, Cao Chen acted as if he didn't hear Wang Bo's apology. He just looked at the flat artificial turf with his face darkened and his arms crossed.

Fearing that Cao Chen would make some terrible punishment due to his rage, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang's two "confidantes" did not dare to go far. The two of them surrounded Cao Chen. You can use "sweet words" at any time to support the teammates of the main blue team.

In the game just now, Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi actually wanted to support their teammates.

But is there no way?
Cao Chen's "stopping order" was like an invisible shackle, locking their feet, and the two of them could only watch helplessly as the main blue team was abused by the substitute yellow team until they couldn't even stop it as a fig leaf.

The 23 players in the team, no matter the main players or the substitutes, gathered together as usual and lined up in two horizontal lines in front of Cao Chen. Although everyone was a bit tired after playing the match for half an hour.

But no matter which player sees his head coach's face covered with dark clouds, no matter how tired he is, he will raise his head and raise his chest and buttocks, standing with a full score to stand by at any time.

However, the boys from the school team had been standing for a full 3 minutes, and Cao Chen was still looking at the turf under his feet with a cloudy face. It seemed that there were some magical lines on the turf that caught his attention.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Ziyang, as the vice-captain, decided to risk himself.

"Coach Cao, I'm sorry, the players of our blue team accept your punishment."

"fine."

Cao Chen's voice was very low, so low that the players of the main blue team felt embarrassed.

Although Cao Chen said "it's okay", none of the 23 players on the team dared to breathe a sigh of relief. All the big guys were holding their breath, and they didn't dare to come out to "court death" at such a dangerous moment.

Although Gao Yi didn't make too many mistakes on the court, seeing the uncertain appearance of the head coach Cao Chen at this time, he couldn't help but want to speak. After all, such a sudden change, everyone used to I have never experienced it. It is the first time to kick, and I can’t blame everyone if I don’t play well.

"Cao..."

Before Gao Yi could speak, Cao Chen, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke.

"Okay, okay, let's all go back to rest first, remember, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at 4 pm, gather at the gate of the Sports Plaza. Gao Yi, Ziyang, you two pack up your things, and then go to the sports team office Find me."

After all, Cao Chen didn't even say "disband", so he walked in the direction of the sports team's office.

The boys looked at each other, although Cao Chen told them to go back first, but none of them left.

Seeing that none of his teammates dared to make a sound, Zhang Ziyang stepped forward again: "Okay, let's go back and reflect on what went wrong in today's team match, shall we? Then leave it to Gao Yi and me to coach Cao gone."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ziyang lowered his body a little, glanced at the direction Cao Chen left just now, and made sure that Cao Chen had returned to the teaching building, and Zhang Ziyang also heaved a sigh of relief.

According to Zhang Ziyang's understanding of Cao Chen, as long as Cao Chen goes back to fight a few landlords, his mood will immediately improve.

If they turn back the same way at this time, the big guys will inevitably be punished with a round of "horrible".

After making sure that Cao Chen had gone back, the boys from the school team dared to relax one by one, and helped Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang pack up all the things on the ground, and then picked up their schoolbags and left the stadium one by one.

Once the team captain Wang Bo changed his usual routine, he even became the first person to leave.

But everyone can understand this situation. After all, Wang Bo has always been the most stable part of the Nanhu No. [-] High School team. No wonder he lost his temper.

Give him some time to calm down, he will be the honest and honest captain of the team again in the training camp tomorrow.

After Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang packed up the things on the court and sent off the last player who left, they also walked towards the sports team office with sad faces.

"Gao Yi, tell me, with our current lineup, can we really compete with the South Lake Affiliated High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences?"

"Sigh." Gao Yi sighed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyang, like himself, was also deeply worried about the performance of the team's midfield and backcourt today.

However, Gao Yi has no choice. After all, this is something everyone has seen, but at this time, he can only appease the emotions of his striker partner. After all, if even Zhang Ziyang has no confidence, then this is an extremely difficult battle. It's even more impossible to play in the first round.

"Don't say such dejected words now! Go to Coach Cao first and see what he can do."
