Chapter 486 Double-edged sword

The players of the national team were in a very relaxed state when they entered the arena, smiling, and greeting the surrounding fans from time to time.

After the staff gathered, Lippi first gave a few minutes of explanation, and then the Chinese assistant Lu Tie led everyone to warm-up training such as jogging and stretching, while Lippi and the assistants watched and guided carefully.

More than half of the recruits this time were rookies, and even though he had already had an unsuccessful trip to the national team, Li Liang also counted himself among the rookies.

Because of the fatigue of the journey, the first training session was mainly about recovery, and no ball exercises were arranged.

After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, the team manager told Li Liang that Lippi was welcome.

Li Liang suddenly became nervous, and he hurriedly followed the team manager to Lippi's room.

The two translators of the national team were also present. When Li Liang greeted Lippi in authentic Italian, the eyes of the two translators widened.

Even though the assistants mentioned it, Lippi couldn't hide his surprise: "Li, you can really speak Italian...sit down."

After some exchanges, Lippi finally believed that what the assistants said was true.He signaled to the two translators that they could go back to their room and rest.

After the door was closed, Lippi said straight to the point: "Li, we will mainly use 433-[-]-[-] tactics in the future games. Have you read all the materials?"

Li Liang had already memorized the original tactical information left by Pezzotti and De Rosso, and he replied: "I have read it carefully."

Lippi nodded: "Very good."

Then he directly asked a few questions in the tactical information, and Li Liang answered them all exactly.

Although he was very satisfied in his heart, Lippi still had a stern expression on his face.

He turned on the TV connected to his laptop and started playing Li Liang's video clip of the game.

He stopped from time to time, repeatedly discussing with Li Liang about the situation on the screen.

More than half an hour passed, and the video was played.

Lippi said: "Lee, it can be seen that you have made amazing progress in the past half season in Monaco.

Everyone recognizes your strength very much and hopes to replicate your success in Monaco in the national team-as the head coach, this is of course my duty. "

Li Liang said humbly that he was still far behind.

Lippi stared at him and asked, "Okay, then tell me what's wrong with you?"

……

An hour later, Li Liang returned to the room.

The jet lag reversed before he could report back to the national team, and he was not sleepy in the bed.

Lippi's words are still ringing in my ears: "Li, frankly speaking, if you maintain your current level, you will definitely have a place in many teams in Asia and even Europe.

But I haven't considered how to formulate tactics around you.

You are a typical 'core' style of play and have very high requirements for the team's staffing.Monaco has a lot of good players, and they have all played their worth this season.

Lee, even the strongest squad in our national team cannot give you enough support like your teammates in Monaco——

So it is difficult for me to give you enough tactical freedom like Jardim. "

Li Liang suffered from insomnia, and although Lippi's analysis made him enlightened, Lippi's question made it difficult for him to answer.

Is it really like what Lippi said-always want to solve problems on the court in the most difficult times?

After tossing and turning, he didn't know what time he fell asleep. When he saw Jiongjiu, he immediately raised his doubts.

囧囧 shrugged: "Liangzi, it's useless for you to ask me about these issues! You should continue to communicate with him more."

In the training session the next morning, the half-court confrontation began at the last moment.

Lippi arranged Li Liang in the white vest group, and all the players in the same group were young players.

Lippi only put forward some simple requirements, and the specific tactical links were completely organized by Madanilo.

Madanilo's arrangement and tactical information were the same, but Li Liang realized that was not the case as soon as the ball was kicked off.

At the beginning of the ball training in the morning, Li Liang found that the total ratings of all his teammates were all below 70.

But at the beginning of the confrontation, Li Liang obviously felt that the opponent with the red vest was stronger.

Especially in terms of overall organization, the red team completely suppressed its own white team.

You know, including yourself, the overall evaluation of the white team is actually superior overall.

When it was their turn to get the ball, everyone unanimously sought cooperation with Li Liang, or directly handed over the ball to him for organization.

Li Liang's performance in organizing offense was mediocre. He found that his passing and running were not in the same rhythm as his young teammates, and it was difficult for them to play a threatening cooperation with each other.

No matter how awkward he was playing, Li Liang decided to start strengthening his possession of the ball and stabilize the situation first.

The red team's one-on-one defense could not limit Li Liang at all. His dribbling and ball control were like no one's land.

Cai Hui just started to organize a multi-player pinch against Li Liang in the midfield. Although Li Liang was able to protect the ball, it became temporarily difficult to get rid of it.

Madanilo shook his head beside Lippi: "Marcello, Lee's current style of play is too harmful to our overall tactical structure!"

Lippi didn't have anything, just took out a cigar and peeled it off habitually. After lighting it, he began to puff, his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Because it is training, everyone's movements are kept in check, which makes Li Liang more and more brave.

He quickly used continuous turns to get rid of Cai Huigang's marking, and then he broke through the defense of the two in a row, used the "pendulum" to pass the last defender beautifully, and successfully scored the goal with a nudge against the goalkeeper.

Lippi snuffed out the cigar and signaled to stop the game.

He replaced Li Liang.

The red team took advantage of Li Liang's end and quickly launched an attack. After a cross from the wing, the striker followed up and scored and successfully pulled back a victory.

Li Liang gradually discovered that although the score was equalized, the young players of the White Team were playing better and better!Both offensive and defensive ends are well-organized, which is obviously stronger than when he was on the court.

The morning training session was over, and everyone packed up and returned to the hotel.

After getting off the car, Li Liang found Lippi: "Coach, can I talk to you again?"

The two sat in the lobby of the hotel and started chatting.

Without any reservations, Li Liang expressed all the doubts in his mind, including the problems encountered in the game against Lyon, and what happened in today's match.

Lippi replied: "Li, now we are actually continuing our conversation yesterday.

It is not enough to just give you a rational understanding, now you should have a personal experience.

When you are in Monaco, you can often control the whole team's offense. The coach's arrangement allows you to play freely in the frontcourt.

When you concede the ball, you are protected by at least two or three defensive barriers behind you. "

Li Liang immediately thought of Fabinho and Bakayoko, as well as Glick and Remelsen.

"When you come back to the national team, you can't be so carefree.

No matter how hard you try, you can't provide enough support and protection behind you like the stars of Monaco.

When you lose the ball, 1, 2, 3, whoosh—" Lippi made a flying gesture of the ball, and then said: "The opponent has already got the ball, and immediately penetrated our defense line, and will soon Threat to goal! "

Li Liang's eyes widened. He suddenly recalled that in the first half of the match against Lyon, after Tolisso successfully stole the ball from his feet twice, he directly launched an offensive from the backcourt, indirectly creating a goal and a point. ball.

Had it not been for Lacazette to miss a penalty kick, Lyon would have completely taken away the game in the first half.

The reason is so simple, why didn't I think of it? !
In other words, this matter is not simple, but Lippi can easily tell the biggest problem in two sentences!
Li Liang finally understood that his attack was also a double-edged sword.

Any team that wants to get this kind of offensive firepower must be prepared in advance to bear the damage caused by this double-edged sword.
