Chapter 368 Mandzukic

On the training ground, Rakitic sent a long pass, Farfan took the ball from the right and made a cross pass. Sun Wu received the ball at the top of the arc and sent a diagonal ball, but Mandzukic had already run too far

"Beep!" Hollerbach, who was acting as the referee, blew the whistle to suspend the game, and shouted at Mandzukic: "Mario, don't run in a hurry, Raul has already moved to the middle, and Best passed the ball to you."

In a 30-minute training match, Mandzukic alone caused Hollerbach to stop seven times, and due to the draw in the last round of the league, Magath conducted special extra training, mainly targeting the frontcourt attack line problems of coordination.

Mandzukic has never been a good-tempered player. In fact, he did not step into the top league until the age of 24. The main reason is character. In Dinamo Zagreb, he has no relationship with the club, the coach, and the teammates. Well, last year, he was even issued a heavy fine by the club.

Sun Wu privately asked Cavani, Raul and Mandzukic for the video data of previous games and training, but Mandzukic could not get it... Last year Mandzukic wanted to transfer to the Bundesliga, but Dinamo Zagreb refused to let him go , the relationship got very stiff.

After the afternoon training, Sun Wu, Rakitic, and Mandzukic took a shower and ate a meal and entered the video analysis room. This is Hollerbach's site, and he has been waiting for a long time.

"Today is mainly about running positions." Hollerbach held the remote control in his hand, pointing at the screen, "Mario, this ball... Rakitic inserted into Best's oblique plug in front, but Mari Oh, you didn't move, if you appeared in the small penalty area, Rakitic would not choose to shoot from a small angle, such a small angle, the success rate of the shot is very low."

Mandzukic nodded and turned to Sun Wu.

"Actually, this is a small problem. Mario is a center forward, and he is an expert in the movement inside the penalty area." Sun Wu said with a smile: "The key is the movement outside the penalty area, especially the lateral movement."

"Yes, horizontal pulling is the key." Rakitic agreed with this point of view, "Mario, whether it is in the game or on the training ground, you run too little horizontally and go back and forth vertically too much. It is impossible for me and Best Always the right through ball."

"It doesn't matter if it was last season." Sun Wu spread his hands and explained to Mandzukic: "It's different now. Schalke won the double championship last season. In the previous season, the double championship will still be Felix's. .”

"Most of the teams now choose a sharply retracted formation when facing Schalke 04, which directly leads to the limited space behind the defenders. In other words, we will face a lot of iron barrel formations this season. Last round Hannover 96 is an example."

"And lateral running can not only find more gaps, the most important thing is to pull the line of defense, shift the position of the opponent's defender, and provide more opportunities for others. The legend of Rakitic and I The probability of the ball will also increase."

Speaking up, Sun Wu took the remote control and pressed it, pointed to the screen and said: "At this time, if you pull to the left, the defender will follow you, and Farfan will take it in. I or Rakiti Qi sent the ball obliquely, and Farfan went into the penalty area... At this time, you go into the penalty area to grab points, and the goal will come naturally."

"Standing center is no longer popular, but the center is still the most critical scorer." Sun Wu said endlessly, "You don't need to fight with the defenders in the penalty area, and then grab the position and wait. A cross from a teammate..."

"You need to move outside the penalty area, and then suddenly start to enter the penalty area to find a landing point. For this aspect of movement, you can look at Raul's movement highlights. I have asked the coaching staff to edit it."

Mandzukic nodded frequently, echoing or refuting a few words from time to time.

At the last moment, Sun Wu hesitated before saying: "Actually, Mario, you are capable of playing as a second striker or a winger. Although your breakthrough ability and speed are not outstanding, excellent running positions can give you more opportunities. "

Sun Wu had a lot of expectations for Mandzukic to play as a winger. He remembered the game in his previous life that almost staged a big reversal. Juventus let Mandzukic play as a left winger. As a result, the Croatian repeatedly inserted into the penalty area to grab points and completely exploded the matchup. Varane and Carvajal.

"Winger?" Mandzukic looked at Sun Wu in surprise, then turned to Hollebach and Rakitic.

"Of course not a winger like Ronaldo, but more like a second striker. On the one hand, he stretches the width of the field, and on the other hand, he inserts into the penalty area at any time and grabs a shot like a center forward." Sun Wu shrugged, "You know, actually Those two things don't conflict."

Rakitic nodded slowly, imagining this scene in his mind, if Farfan made a pass from the right, there was Cavani in the penalty area, there was Best who went forward or himself, and then Mandzukic nodded from the back and scored or Ferrying is indeed a very threatening tactical routine...

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Hollerbach interrupted Rakitic's association. He had already seen that Mandzukic's face was a bit ugly.

Everyone knows that Schalke chose Cavani and Raul as the forwards during the summer transfer period in 04. It was only because Cavani was injured that Mandzukic was temporarily bought.

At this time, Sun Wu mentioned the winger and the second striker... Mandzukic would unconsciously think wrongly.

In terms of sophistication, Sun Wu may be the most knowledgeable person in this room. It was not in vain to stay on the university campus for so many years in the previous life. Now the university is no longer an ivory tower, and it is no different from society.

"Actually, I found Mr. Felix the day after I transferred to Schalke 04..." Sun Wu winked at Hollerbach.

"Well, I remember." Hollerbach turned on the TV, "At that time, Best recommended two people, one was Fuchs, and the other was Mario."

Mandzukic looked at Sun Wu in surprise, and Rakitic smiled and said, "Best, you can actually serve as a scout and assistant coach. You can get two extra salaries!"

"It's a pity that the club refused to pay at that time. Fuchs only spent 20 euros. Mario, you are too expensive..." Sun Wu spread his hands, "Last summer Werder Bremen offered 1200 million euros, Zagre Budinamo won't let anyone go."

"Look!" Hollerbach roared, pointing to the TV.

The lottery guests took out a note from the drawn ball and showed it to the audience, "FC Schalke 04."

This is the live broadcast of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony.

The camera immediately focused on Magath, the old German man stretched out his hand and scratched his nose expressionlessly.

Sun Wu blinked and looked at Hollerbach, "We should be the third level, right?"

"Well, it's all to blame for Best, you forget the time when you talk about tactics." Rakitic stared at the screen, "I don't know who the first two teams are..."
