Chapter 106 The Method of Perfect Embedding

September 2007, 9, Ewood Park Stadium.

Blackburn home.

The audience is dead silent, riding Pentium alone!
Under the blue banner, Mi Duo looked ferocious and roared loudly. He raised his fists high and stood upright like a fighter!
Behind him are the Manchester teammates who are rushing over!

They were like blue torrents, finally converging on Barton.

In front of them were the fans of the visiting team Manchester. They all wore blue jerseys, making the earth look like the sky!

Ljungberg, who ran over first, held Mido's shoulders firmly, and Trabelsi, who was later, jumped up excitedly and rode on the two of them...

Then the teammates who ran over hugged each other...

"Damn it, who is pulling my shorts! I didn't wear underwear today!"

"Pervert, you don't wear underwear!"

"I didn't ask you to pull my shorts either!"

……

Accompanied by the sound of laughing and laughing, it took a while for the crowd to disperse.

The score was played on the big screen at the scene, Manchester City 1:0 Blackburn, the scorer: Mido!

Time 86 minute!

In the fifth round of the away game against Blackburn, Manchester City encountered Blackburn's tenacious sniper!

Blackburn is united as one, and they can't hold on!
They made up their minds, just take one point.

Sometimes, self-knowledge is also an advantage.

But with self-knowledge, sometimes it can't stop the huge gap in strength.

In the whole game, Blackburn only struggled a bit at the beginning of the game, and then... there was no more.

Everyone thought that Manchester City would win, but no one thought that Manchester City would win in this way.

Even Barcelona, ​​the world-renowned and most obsessed with possession, was surprised by Manchester City's possession.

85% vs. 15%.

This is the ball possession rate calculated by both sides after the game.

"This is a game between adults and children." After the game, Andy Gray said.

People thought that Manchester City would win, but they didn't expect the way Manchester City won, it was so frenzied.

Except for goal kicks, half-kicks, and throw-ins, Blackburn didn't have any chances of possession.None of their passes exceeded three balls.In the whole game, Manchester City shot more than [-] times, but only scored one goal, which was Mido's long-range shot.

Why is this?

Because more than 30 of these 20 shots were recorded in Shevchenko's name.

"I don't understand why Manchester City took such an extreme method... Is it the number of goals? Even if it is the number of goals, it is better to find Samaras than Shevchenko? At least the Greeks still have three goals. The ball goes in."

"Is it to highlight Shevchenko's potential to shoot the king? This is not a good way for Ukrainian nuclear warheads!"

"I guess Shevchenko must have been running to Duncan's house a lot. Duncan's house is probably full of melatonin now..."

The commentators expressed their doubts, dissatisfaction, and sarcasm one after another...

Even if he is his own son, he doesn't have such an obvious tactical inclination...

If it weren't for Mido's long-range shot, Blackburn might have successfully taken away 1 point.

Duncan was so determined to let Shevchenko score that the losing Blackburn manager, as he shook hands, smugly said: "It's a pity he didn't score..."

"Probably because the opponent is too weak to be interested." Duncan guessed.

"..."

After the game, the media criticized Duncan's "love" for Shevchenko.As a head coach, it is completely irrational for Duncan to do so.

There have been rumors that Duncan is actually gay, and he has secretly "loved" the Ukrainian nuclear warhead for a long time...

The evidence is that Duncan has no girlfriend now, while Shevchenko's wife and children stay in Chelsea.

From this point of view, this homosexuality theory is not unfounded.

Soon, through the mouth of the English media, "gaygate" intensified.

Some people even photographed Duncan and Shevchenko "going out in pairs"...

However, this matter was quickly subsided.Because on a dark and windy night, a group of angry "female asses" pried open the newspaper that first distributed "gay door", and smashed the desk of the sports reporter...

Afterwards, the Manchester fans group "Stubborn Donkey" announced that it was responsible for the matter.

Although the police arrested several parties afterwards, the title of "Stubborn Donkey Guard" was born in the midst of iron and fire.

In the center of the storm, there is calm.

Duncan was not disturbed. The external speculation was very strong, but the Manchester City club was very calm inside.

In terms of tactics, the Manchester City club is not one-sided, but every time Duncan proposes, it is [-]% approved...

Recently, Duncan has indeed seen Shevchenko frequently, because Duncan wants to "embed" Shevchenko's pawn into the four-element formation.

It turned out to be very difficult.

In the four-element formation, the four players have a high degree of tacit understanding, which results in a high passing accuracy.

Shevchenko is a player with a high golf quotient, but it is still difficult to form a fixed tacit understanding with the players in the system.

Duncan forced Shevchenko to intervene, which could only make the formation run poorly.

The high possession rate against Blackburn is a performance.

In fact, despite having a high ball possession rate, Manchester City did not make many truly threatening passes throughout the game.Sometimes in order to wait for Shevchenko, the players in the formation have to stop the ball and wait, which delays the opportunity.

When Shevchenko is in place, there will be no gaps.

Because of the existence of the gap, that is the reason for those few seconds.

That's why Duncan has to meet with Shevchenko frequently, study the characteristics of the other party, and then work out the correct "embedding" method.

For now, it appears that little progress has been made.

Duncan could not clearly explain to Shevchenko the existence of such a thing as the "four-element formation", but only implicitly stated that the other four people had an unparalleled tacit understanding.

Such a tacit understanding born out of thin air is indeed a problem.

The A4 papers printed with the base map of the stadium were thrown under the table one by one, and one idea after another was denied.

Shevchenko sometimes made some suggestions from the perspective of players based on his own experience, but they were all rejected by Duncan.

Until Shevchenko picked up a base map thrown by Duncan and suddenly made a point.

"Maybe we can do this..." Shevchenko said, "Set up some fixed routines, and then use these routines maturely. Then, wouldn't it be possible to achieve a high degree of tacit understanding when using them in competitions?"

This solution is actually an opportunistic trick.Since Shevchenko is to be embedded in the four-element formation, what is actually required is a tacit understanding.That kind of tacit understanding that exists all the time is really unrealistic.But if this tacit understanding is limited to a certain range and fixed at a certain moment, I believe that "perfect embedding" will become possible.

A flash of lightning flashed across Duncan's mind, causing him to fall into ecstasy.

The time that can determine a game is actually only a few seconds to a dozen seconds before a goal is scored.As long as you set some routines, let the football appear in the agreed position at the agreed time, at this time, you can show a tacit understanding.

That night, Duncan stayed up all night.
