Chapter 166 Release Livermore
David Livermore...

Just thinking of Livermore's name would give Zhang Yang a headache.

Livermore's only advantage is his physical strength. For professional football, his physical strength is a major advantage, but his IQ 'defect' limits his development.

"Although it is impolite to think so, it is the truth."

Zhang Yang was very emotional.

In fact, the professional arena needs brains, the brains in the game, the brains to understand tactics, and the "big picture" also needs brains, and the wisdom of the arena is also wisdom.

Football is a team sport, not an individual game.

Livermore's skills are rough, and it is very problematic to cooperate with his teammates. In addition, it is difficult to understand the tactics. , is also endowed by Zhang Yang relying on the "word spirit bewitching".

Now Livermore has two major advantages: body and long-range shooting.

Both items stand out.

Livermore is physically strong like a bull, and it is difficult to find a figure comparable to him in the entire European professional arena.

Four months of training has also greatly improved Livermore's long-range shooting. He has reached the top of the world in terms of shooting ability outside the penalty area, and even surpassed Robert Carlos, who is mainly based on strength. players.

Livermore's flaws are also obvious, and it is easy to be targeted on the field.

There is no way for Zhang Yang to choose Livermore. He has to accept a reality: Millwall's lineup is too poor, and there are no outstanding players in the team.

Like Jody Morris, the level is indeed very good, but he is also a comprehensive player without particularly outstanding abilities.

Not to mention other players.

If Zhang Yang were to make a comment, he would dare to say that all Millwall players were duds.

It is too difficult for a team composed of these half-players to add effective scoring methods. His only choice is David Livermore.

So now we must face a question: How can Livermore's long-range shooting ability be brought into play?
This is a big problem.

At the very beginning, the opponents always didn't pay much attention to Livermore, and Livermore could still find opportunities, but now every opponent knows that Livermore's long-range shots are a threat, and they will naturally strengthen their defense against Livermore. defense.

So if you want Livermore to increase his chances, you have to take a roundabout route.

When he came from the midfield, Zhang Yang was thinking about this issue. When he returned to the locker room, he kept pacing and thinking carefully.

This serious attitude makes others dare not disturb.

Zhang Yang finally stopped. He took a deep breath and pointed to a player, "Little Kevin, you go in the second half!"

Everyone else looked at Braniff.

Braniff suddenly excitedly said, "Okay, boss!"

Then Zhang Yang began to arrange tactics.

Zhang Yang asked Braniff to replace Marvin Elliott, and a striker replaced the midfielder, which is equivalent to adjusting the formation back to 442. After returning to the 442 formation, the defense at the front of the penalty area is also a problem. He explained to Jody- Morris had to drop back more, and then told Neil Harris to play more aggressively.

In the end, he found Braniff alone, and first praised Braniff carefully, "You are one of the most powerful players in the frontcourt, and your abilities are very comprehensive. The excellent…”

This praise made Braniff almost fly into the sky, especially when there were several players listening to him, Braniff suddenly felt that he had become the best player on the team, he puffed up his chest, and then Hearing Zhang Yang's last words, "You have to help attract the attention of the defense, and pass back to David if you have the opportunity..."

"Huh? David?"

Braniff pointed at Livermore blankly, "Give him the ball?"

"Yes! You can create a threat to the opponent by yourself, but football is a team sport, and David's insertion is also very important..." Zhang Yang then began to explain how to make Braniff attract firepower and how to make David - Livermore gets a chance.

Everyone listened patiently.

Braniff felt that Zhang Yang had assigned a very important job, but everyone else understood: the offense in the second half revolved around David Livermore.

Whether it is Jody Morris retreating, Braniff stepped forward to attract defensive attention, or let the two wings and Neil Harris play more aggressively, the purpose is to help attract defensive attention so that Make it easier for David Livermore in the middle to get a chance.

Everyone doesn't quite understand why Zhang Yang values ​​David Livermore so much, but they are just players, so just follow the instructions of the head coach.

Wise was very suspicious, "You trust David so much?"

Aldous said nothing.

During training on weekdays, he paid a lot of attention to David Livermore, so he naturally knew Zhang Yang's purpose for doing so.

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Dennis, you haven't been on the team for four months, so you probably don't understand it very well, but you will understand after the second half."

----

The adjustment Zhang Yang made sounds a bit complicated, but it is actually quite simple. It is to make the front line active and the sideways active to attract enough defensive attention. At the same time, Jody Morris, who is active in the middle, can retreat appropriately. To make up for Elliott's lack of defense.

So Livermore was 'released'.

This is a strategy developed around Livermore. The purpose is to increase Livermore's opportunities. In fact, it is also a very helpless choice: if Livermore can have a qualified frontcourt awareness, he may be able to find opportunities by himself.

such a pity……

With many teammates making sacrifices, I only hope that Livermore can perform well.

Zhang Yang sighed.

What many people didn't notice was that Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines in the first minute of the second half. This practice is very common, but it is actually a bit unusual for Zhang Yang.

The game on the court is attractive enough.

Millwall was on the back foot, and from the first minute they were attacking towards Reading's half.

Josh Simpson's dribbling created the first chance for Millwall and he passed the ball into the penalty area before Braniff took the position and finished the first kick.

At the beginning of the second half, he could find a chance to shoot. Millwall played quite well. Unfortunately, Braniff was very tightly defended. His shot failed to pose any threat, and he was easily caught by the goalkeeper.

The next Reading counterattack created a greater threat. Fortunately, goalkeeper Graham played well and successfully saved the ball.

Reading won a corner kick and continued to attack the Millwall penalty area.

This time the siege lasted for nearly 2 minutes, and it ended after a wrong pass by the Reading team. When the Reading fans were still immersed in the offensive just now, Millwall had already launched an offensive at a fast pace.

Braniff did really well.

Braniff's abilities are very comprehensive, and he is also very hardworking on the field. Especially after receiving publicity and praise, Braniff's desire to perform is very sufficient. When he got the ball, he made a move with Neil Harris. Cooperating, he passed two Reading defenders in a row, but unfortunately his speed was a bit slow, and he was surrounded when he reached the front of the penalty area.

When Zhang Yang saw this scene, he was extremely surprised. He originally thought that the team had no talented and capable main players. Except for one Jody Morris, the others were basically veterans.

Braniff?

For a player under the age of 23, to be able to perform like this is considered a genius, right?
Although he had never heard of Braniff's name in his previous life, Zhang Yang felt that it was probably caused by his "wonderful" personality. That kind of childlike personality would definitely not be liked by the head coach. of.

Zhang Yang silently classified Braniff in the ranks of 'a rare talent in the team'.

Braniff is indeed very good. He cooperated with Neil Harris, and then passed two opponents in a row. After attracting enough defensive attention and being surrounded by the opponent, he can pass the ball with his back heel Keep up with Joey Healy.

Joey Healy glanced at the penalty area and wanted to pass the ball long, but suddenly thought of Zhang Yang's advice, "Give David more chances!"

So Joey Healy didn't make a long pass, but took two steps forward by himself, and immediately a player came to defend.

Joey Healey dips back and passes the ball to Jody Morris.

Morris ran towards the ball and kicked the ball to the penalty area line. Braniff was in that position. At the moment of jumping, he glanced at the goal, but chose to push the ball horizontally.

Livermore caught up just in time!
Livermore has been at the front of the penalty area, but has been defended by the opposing player. When Jody Morris got the ball and the player defending him went to help defend Morris, Livermore was immediately liberated.

When he saw Braniff head the ball over, Livermore was stupid and knew it was a good opportunity.

He rushed forward to face the ball and swung his right foot!
----

The audience's attention was focused on David Livermore. Millwall's offensive just now attracted quite a lot of attention. Braniff alone drove the activity of the frontcourt. The offensive centered on him made Reading The team's defense was in a hurry.

But no one would have thought that it would be Livermore who completed the shot.

The stupid big guy didn't even touch the ball!
Now that Livermore is about to shoot, many people subconsciously think, "Isn't this guy wasting his chance?"

"That location? It's too far away!"

"Waste the wonderful offensive just now!"

"..."

Many people think so.

What no one noticed was that the moment Livermore waved his foot, Zhang Yang who was standing on the sidelines suddenly said two words, "Goal!"

That's Chinese pronunciation.

The two words seemed to have magical powers, and they were instantly reflected on Livermore. Livermore suddenly felt that he seemed to be in a brave state, and this kick was like finding the feeling in daily training.

The moment the football was kicked out, Livermore's eyes passed between the two players in the penalty area. The football seemed to have been planned and passed between the two players.

The next moment, football appeared in front of the goal.

The goalkeeper of the Reading team was blocked from sight and barely reacted. He turned his head after the football passed the goal line and watched the football hit the net, causing white waves.
