Chapter 13 Rossi's Technical Report

With blond hair, wise eyes, a tall nose, slightly drooping flesh on his face, and a kind smile, he looks very much like Harry Redknapp, a university professor, watching a game video in his office.

His team is about to face the challenge of the top Leicester City team.

Although in terms of current points, it is difficult to surpass the No.2 Burnley team, but the team is bound to win the qualification for the play-offs.

Seriously preparing for every game is a routine job for the 67-year-old Lei.

Last season, Lao Lei took over the poor record Queens Park Rangers halfway through. Due to the poor record before, the team was relegated from the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule.

Lao Lei, known as the "magician", brought the team to the third place in the standings in just one season.

"Leicester City's striker is actually very strong. Although Vardy is injured, we should not underestimate it, otherwise we will encounter the same situation as Reading."

Lao Lei touched his chin with his hand, and calmly analyzed the current Leicester City team with youth team coach Ramsey.

"However, it is an indisputable fact that Leicester City's striker efficiency has been greatly reduced."

Ramsey flipped through the technical statistics of the Leicester City team and said affirmatively.

Lao Lei chuckled and said, "Old friend, the data can only reflect the real competitive state of the players at that time, and cannot predict the future."

He got up slowly, came to a tactical board, took out a water-based pen, and said slowly: "The original attack line of Leicester City is Vardy and Nugent. The speed has the shot, which can attract the defense to a great extent."

"So, Mahrez or Konoquet on the wing can pass unimpeded."

Offensive diversity is Leicester City's biggest weapon this season.

Not only the four just mentioned, the teenager Chris Wood is a very potential center forward, and his strengths are fighting for the top and heading the ball.

The two veterans were even more able to stabilize the morale of the army. In the last game, Kevin Phillips also scored a key goal on the way to the championship.

But it is such a team with amazing offensive power, even without Vardy, the striker headed by Nugent, the strength should not have declined so quickly.

This is also what Ramsey has been unable to figure out.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of his old friend, Lao Lei smiled slightly, and circled Vardy's name on the tactical board with a pen.

"Leicester City's offense this season is built around Vardy. His attack can attract more than two defensive players, so when he appears in the middle, he can open up space for teammates on both sides and create shots. Chance."

Ramsey nodded. Nugent scored 18 league goals this season. To a certain extent, it is Vardy's restraint.

"When Vardy moves to the wing, it will inevitably take away the defense of the opponent's midfielder and central defender. It can help teammates open up the space in the midfield and create long-range shots for teammates."

"So far, several midfielders of the Leicester City team have scored more than 5 goals, which is the most favorable proof."

Ramsey is also the technical director of the team. He is not only responsible for the technical and tactical work of the players, but also analyzes the characteristics of the opponent's players.

As Lao Lei said, Vardy's sudden emergence has enriched the Leicester City team's style of play.

His running without the ball also greatly increases the chances of his teammates threatening the goal with the ball.

And 4 assists, for a shooter, is a good result.

Although Nugent is the top scorer in the team this season, his finishing ability in the face of difficulties is not as good as Vardy.

He prefers to support from the wing.

This is why Leicester City's weak forward performance after Vardy was injured.

The team lacks players with strong finishing ability.

"Since that's the case, why are you particularly worried about Lesters' ability to attack?"

Ramsey was puzzled. For the Leicester City team, they only need to send someone to keep an eye on Nugent and limit the pass from the wing, so that the entire striker can be misfired.

Lao Lei pressed the remote control in his hand, and a black-haired player immediately appeared on the screen.

"This is a player from the Leicester City U21 team. In the last game against Reading, it was his assist that allowed Leicester City to pass the test."

Of course Ramsey knew that Rossi, in such an important game, used such a chic turn around to assist his teammates to score.

This goal is fully rated as the top ten goals in the British Championship this season.

Not only did he provide an assist in the game against Reading, but also his header assist in the Tianwangshan battle against Burnley last month, helping Leicester City seal the victory.

Such an excellent performance, Ramsey, as a technical director, cannot ignore it.

As soon as the game ended yesterday, he set out to collect all the information about the young player.

What surprised him was that Rossi's strength in the U21 league was completely different from the two games in the British Championship.

In the U21 league, Rossi, as a center, helped the team score 21 goals in 10 rounds of the league. He is an out-and-out striker.

However, judging from his two substitute performances in the British Championship, he is a supporting center very similar to Nugent.

Moreover, the area of ​​activity is very small, and the running distance is also the lowest in the team except for the goalkeeper.

He didn't understand why Lao Lei had to give special instructions.

Such an inactive player can have assists. Apart from luck, there is no suitable word to explain it.

"Smart but not fast, thin body, good small skills. As for attack ability, there is too little data to be sure. But one thing is for sure, with his current body, it is difficult to stand up against the fierce British champion."

Football also pays attention to physical fitness, especially forwards, without physical and speed advantages, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in the penalty area where the confrontation is fierce.

At least Ramsey thinks that before Rossi put on weight, he was just a "fancy fist and embroidered legs".

Lao Lei also nodded, agreeing.

Young man, who doesn't have any flower work on his feet.But when it comes to the professional league, reality will teach you how to behave.

"Old friend, your analysis is correct, but you overlooked one point."

Faced with Lao Lei's question, Ramsey became interested. He really wanted to hear the opinion of this experienced coach.

Lao Lei, who once won the best coach in the Premier League, not only has excellent coaching ability, but also has a very sophisticated eye for players.

In the few years of coaching Tottenham, he abruptly brought the team to the top four of the Premier League, and the stars he discovered are countless.

West Ham's Ferdinand, Lampard, Defoe, Carrick, these are the future stars of England.

And van der Vaart, who was unsuccessful at Real Madrid, immediately rejuvenated after coming to White Hart Lane.

"This kid has the ability to kick the ball and can connect the midfield and frontcourt."

As soon as this remark came out, Ramsey disagreed.

With so little data, how can it be seen that he has this ability.

Lao Lei adjusted the screen to the match between Leicester City and Burnley. Rossi took the ball in the backcourt and cooperated with Drinkwater continuously to launch a counterattack.

Although he didn't score, Rossi did a perfect job from organization to offense.

Especially the protective response, which instantly opened up the offensive space.

Naturally, Ramsey has also watched this clip, but his eyes were all attracted by the breakthrough of Drinkwater and Lloyd, and he did not pay attention to Rossi's silent contribution.

Lao Lei turned the screen again, and it was Rossi's one-ball pass and the Marseille reversal in the last game.

Ramsey suddenly understood what Lao Lei was going to say.

Although there are only a few chances to perform, Rossi's combination of man and ball is unavoidable.

If he is careless, he will easily pass the defender and threaten the goal.

Lao Lei laughed and said, "If we let him go, we will definitely repeat the same mistakes that the Reading team was tied for."

"He will be the next Vardy."
