our euro cup

Chapter 83 Tactical Meeting
On the penultimate day before the game, Coach Cork gave us a lot of weight. On the last day before the game, we can no longer increase the amount. Otherwise, it will be difficult to play an outstanding confrontation due to lack of physical fitness during the game.

So on this day, our training is mainly restorative.Coach Kirk asked us to run a few simple laps, roughly speaking, it was mainly a 3500-minute run, and different from usual, Coach Kirk did not arrange for us to set speed and performance requirements for the laps of this day .In this way, many people start jogging. In addition to loosening muscles, it is more important to maintain a moderate sense of tension and flexibility.Especially for technical players, they often like to relax a little the day before the game to reserve enough energy for the game.But I am not a technical player, my style is speed and fighting, so I still ran very fast in this [-]-minute run, ranking first in the team with a score of [-] meters.

After the [-]-minute run, Coach Kirk called us together for a meeting.This meeting, the main thing is to discuss the tactics against the Belarusian team.Obviously, the Belarusian team is a defensive counterattack team with Hleb as the core. Compared with us, there are some differences-although we also play defensive counterattacks, our offense is not as strong as Belarus. Belarus has Hleb, we don't.However, we have the most coveted defensive weapon in Belarus-the super goalkeeper Handanovic. Due to the existence of Handanovic, we only need to accumulate numbers in defense, and coupled with the strong sweep of the midfield, the defense It is very stable.Although our counterattack may not be as good as the Belarusians, our defense is stronger. With such a tougher defense, we will get more space to counterattack, instead of just relying on it like Belarus Hleb's deterrence came to fight back.In the final analysis, the first priority of defensive counterattack is defense. Only when the defense is done well can the counterattack be played beautifully.This is why we are full of confidence before this game.

In the tactical meeting, Coach Cork opened the PowerPoint and projected an image of the tactical board on the tablet.

Our forwards are Novakovic, Beric and Ljubjankic.Except for Novakovic who is at the top, the other two wingers need to take on the responsibility of full-backs, limiting the assists of the opponent's full-backs and the breakthroughs of the full-backs.The lineup of three strikers can be transformed into a single striker at any time, and the lineup can be freely switched between 433 and 451.As for the midfielder, in the absence of Djic, I became the starting candidate for the midfielder, and Pechnik was the candidate for the midfielder.Another defensive midfielder is Bielsa, who is good at breaking through from the wing and defending with dexterity.His high speed steals, as well as his defensive positioning, is one of the best in the Slovenian national team.He is currently playing for Sochaux in Ligue [-]. It is said that Auxerre is also interested in him, and AC Milan seems to be investigating him.With a speedy ball stealer like Bielsa, coupled with a strong me, the system of double defensive midfielders has been formed.However, in the Sochaux team, Bielsa played the position of full-back, but in our Slovenian national team, due to the shortage of personnel, he had to play as a midfielder. This is actually a waste of his talent. Woolen cloth.As for our four defenders, they are captain Cesar, Brechko, Ilic and Jokic.Captain Cesar is a pure central defender with advantages in height and strength. He is not fast, but he fights fiercely. With him on the field, it is reassuring.Brechko is a defender with a certain ability to control the ball. He can play both the central defender and the defensive midfielder. Just like Argentina's Mascherano and Barcelona's Busquets, he can play in the backcourt. After getting the ball, use it as the first starting point of the offense. His direct pass from the backcourt can often connect the defender and the midfielder. It is a very safe point of attack in the offense.Ilic and Jokic are the barriers for our wing defense. Although they are not the kind of defenders with very good skills, one is fast and the other is good at fighting. As defensive players, they are Very nice match.

Finally, in the goalkeeper position, we have a world-class Handanovic.Needless to say, his goalkeeping skills, his reaction speed is extremely fast, and his save actions are very stretched.The most important thing is that he also has a very important height advantage as a goalkeeper, and he has a great advantage in receiving high-altitude balls!He has played for Udinese in Serie A for several years and has performed very well. It is said that Inter Milan and AC Milan have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time in order to get him.However, because Udinese refused to sell Handanovic before the end of the contract period, the Milan duo could only stare blankly there.

Coach Kok said that our greatest resource is to have a superstar like Handanovic, but a superstar cannot save everything. We ordinary players must go all out to compete with Handanovic. Cooperate to minimize the pressure on Handanovic.We must first do a good job in our own defense. After Handanovic guarantees a zero seal, the forward players will try to steal a goal. Only in this way can we hope to defeat a strong enemy and enter the European Cup!Our biggest goal is to do a good job of defense. As a weak team, our only hope is to work together to score a goal on the basis of doing a good job of defense, and use the "1:0 principle" to defeat all strong enemies!

Coach Cork is full of confidence in tomorrow's game.He said: "The biggest advantage of our team is unity. Everyone here is fighting for the Slovenian national team wholeheartedly. Each of us is a Slovenian fighter! I know that there is a People who have already left would definitely not want to hear me say these words, but as the head coach of the national team, I must be responsible for this country, and I must be responsible for the football of this country. If that person, because of his behavior , and damage the good atmosphere and positive competitiveness of our team, then I will definitely remove him from the national team. I am such a person, it is better to believe in hard work than in talent. Instead of believing in a person It is better to believe in the fighting power of a group of people. Although we lost the technical style of Djic, we got a talented young man in the position of the midfielder, and he is Zago Jeruhovic. His speed , I am very satisfied with his strength and fight, especially his game attitude. I hope that everyone can be like him and use all their strength in the game to face every opponent!"

"Okay!" Our whole team shouted together!

"Everyone, come on!" Coach Cork roared.

"Come on everyone! Come on Slovenia!"
