my football i call the shots

In today's training class, Cao Chen still organized the boys into blue and yellow teams.

但在战术阵型上，曹晨暂时摒弃了上一场用的4-4-2双后腰阵型，他决定把首轮克敌的5-3-2阵型拿出来，好好练习一番。

After defeating the Nanhu Affiliated High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences in the first round, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has never trained this excellent defensive five-back formation.

Without knowing the specific tactics of Nan Yu Middle School for the time being, Cao Chen decided to play it safe and focus on the defense again.

Of course, in addition to focusing on defense, he also needs to train the team's counterattack well, so that the team can form a mature counterattack routine as soon as possible.

Cao Chen thought about it last night. Defensive counterattack can be described as a tried and tested trick.In the next schedule, it will be difficult for Nanhu No. [-] Middle School to encounter players with weaker overall strength like Nancheng Middle School, so it is unlikely that the team will focus on the offensive end.

Judging from the opponents Nan Yu Middle School encountered in the first three rounds and their record, this Nan Yu Middle School team has a mature offensive point and a well-formed overall offensive and defensive routine. This kind of team has relatively few weaknesses, so Cao Chen still We need to be more cautious and focus on stability.Anyway, whether it is to win the game 1-0 by relying on a defensive counterattack, or a crazy siege, winning three or four goals, it is a win.

That being the case, why not choose a more secure way?
With a counterattack artifact like Gao Yi in the frontcourt, Cao Chen doesn't need to worry too much about the success rate of the counterattack. With Gao Yi's personal ability, as long as he is given a few opportunities, he will definitely grasp at least one of them and give the opponent a fatal blow. .

As long as the backcourt defense is done well, the golden goal in the frontcourt is enough to decide who wins and who loses.

After the boys were ready, Cao Chen also told the boys his thoughts, which also drew praise from the boys.

After all, what Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has practiced the most over the years is defense.

Now that we have moved out of our hometown, everyone can be regarded as returning to their old jobs.

Cao Chen moved out of his "Cao Chen Edition" 5-3-2 formation again. Naturally, "Stone" Ouyang Rui returned from the bench lineup to the starting lineup. After all, Ouyang Rui is irreplaceable in the position of sweeper .It can even be said that Ouyang Rui is the only sweeper player in the South Lake Division.

Knowing that Cao Chen was going to practice back to the 5-3-2 formation, Ouyang Rui almost burst into laughter. He repeatedly said thank you to Cao Chen, with that expression, he almost wiped tears and snot all over Cao Chen. up.

When some people are happy, others will be sad.

Due to returning to the 5-3-2 formation, the three positions in the midfield naturally cannot accommodate two wide players. As a result, Jin Ling and Bian Dongnan, who performed exceptionally well in the previous game, are also in a rather awkward position. situation.

In this regard, Cao Chen hesitated for a long time when choosing a midfielder, and he was still unable to make a clear choice.

"Coach Cao, why don't you do this, first choose the most suitable person in your mind to do tactical drills, and then leave some time for me and Dongnan to come on the bench and try to see if you can adapt to the central midfielder position, what do you think?"

Seeing Cao Chen's hesitation, Jin Ling, who had been silent all this time, also put forward his own opinion.

Jin Ling's pertinent opinion was also agreed by Bian Dongnan, who echoed, "Yes, Coach Cao, as long as you give us a chance to try, maybe Jin Ling and I are also suitable to appear in the middle."

"This……"

Cao Chen saw the two boys making such concessions and giving himself face, and he nodded gratefully: "Okay then, you guys will appear on the bench for the time being, and I will give you a chance to try the central midfield position."

Jin Ling and Bian Dongnan quickly nodded and responded, "Thank you Coach Cao."

After getting concessions from Jin Ling and Bian Dongnan, Cao Chen also arranged the lineup intensively. The goalkeeper Bai Xiaolei and the back line did not change at all. They lined up from left to right: Liu Yang, Wang Sheng, Ouyang Rui, Zhang Ziqi, Gao Shiyu.

But the layout of the midfield, Cao Chen's selection surprised everyone.

Guo Haoming, who came off the bench in the previous game, finally took over the blue vest representing the main players, and took the place of Wang Fei, the main midfielder in the first round, appearing on the left side of the central midfielder.

In yesterday's game, Cao Chen was impressed by Guo Haoming's ingenious positioning and the process of passing the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt to Gao Yi.Such a midfielder with both defensive and organizational skills, and even the awareness of hitting the goal should not be wasted on the bench. A player with such potential should appear in the main lineup.

Besides, Wang Fei, who was originally the main player, is not in ideal condition. In this case, it is better to give the younger Guo Haoming a chance.

Therefore, the midfield positions lined up from left to right are: Guo Haoming, Wang Bo, Li Haohan.

Naturally, it is impossible to change the position of the forwards. Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang occupied the two main positions in the frontcourt unshakably, and became the two "magic weapons" that Nanhu No. [-] Middle School's main lineup relied on most.

It is also rare for such a main lineup to have four freshman players.

After arranging the lineups of the two sides, Cao Chen did not immediately urge the boys to change their equipment and prepare for the confrontation within the team as usual.

On the contrary, Cao Chen unhurriedly moved out his small blackboard.

"Boys, today we have to make some targeted tactical arrangements!"

"Um???"

Cao Chen's words also caused a commotion among the boys below, targeted arrangement?What targeted arrangement?

"First of all, the first task is for the captain..."

After all, Cao Chen wrote the words "initiative" on the blackboard.

After finishing writing, Cao Chen also turned his attention to Wang Bo off the court: "Wang Bo, if possible in the future, try to grab the kick-off in the first half."

Wang Bo nodded heavily and said, "No problem!"

"Hmm..." Cao Chen then slowly explained to the boys: "Yesterday our first goal came from the fact that we had the initiative after the first half started, and this was the only way to win the game when the opponent's position was not fully established. The situation has dealt a fatal blow! From now on, as long as we have the initiative at the beginning, we have to take the opportunity to fight a wave of 'blitzkrieg'!"

"Blitz???"

The boys below were suddenly confused.

"That's right, 'blitz' means to use the opponent's sudden and fast attack to put pressure on before the opponent has entered the state a few minutes before the game. Once the game is completed, we will also take the lead early and grasp the score just like the last game. Advantage, this is more real than any psychological advantage or data advantage.”

After all, Cao Chen added: "Of course, it's not your fault if you can't win the fight. The 'blitzkrieg' thing also depends on the time when the opponent enters the state."

After listening to Cao Chen finish the first arrangement, the boys below also nodded neatly to indicate that they understood.

So, Cao Chen proceeded to the next arrangement with confidence: "Secondly, we all know that Nan Yu Middle School has a core player with excellent offensive ability, Liu Changqing. For this, we need to conduct one-on-one man-to-man defense against him. "

Come on, Cao Chen wrote the words "man to man" on the small blackboard.

"The vastness! In the fourth round, I will give you a difficult task!"

Hearing Cao Chen call his name, Li Haohan quickly straightened his back, ready to be called at any time.

"Your task in the next game is to follow Liu Changqing tightly. No matter whether he is on the offensive or defensive end, you have to pester him for me. In other words, you will break away from the zone defense system in the next game."

"Uh..." Hearing such a difficult task, Li Haohan was taken aback for a moment, because he had seen Liu Changqing's strength before, and it was really a matter of guarding against such a player with flexible feet and extraordinary awareness. Very challenging task.

Li Haohan replied stupidly: "Then... Liu Changqing is going to the bathroom, will you follow?"

"puff……"

"Hahahahahaha..."

Li Haohan's words instantly made the boys below burst into laughter. Even Cao Chen laughed so hard that the blackboard couldn't hold it up. The expression on his face was full of magic.

"Follow! As long as he is on the court, you have to follow him!"

"Okay!"

After teasing the teammates around him, Li Haohan also took this important order seriously. After all, taking the order means that he will determine a starting position for the fourth round.

After Li Haohan received the order, Cao Chen hurriedly motioned the laughing boys to calm down, after all, the tactical order had not been arranged yet.

"Okay, 'man marking' is just the first task we need to perform. Then we come to the second task, which is to use the flank attack properly."

Come on, Cao Chen wrote the second word "side attack" on the small blackboard.

"I did a replay of the game myself last night, and I found that our first three goals were launched from the wing, which is very important, and it proves that our team can play efficiently on the wing. So, next we have to make good use of the wing speed to serve our offense!"

Having said that, Cao Chen temporarily stopped talking, and continued to paint on the tactical board.

He first drew two parallel horizontal lines. It is conceivable that this is roughly simulating the left and right wings, and then drew two circles at both ends of the horizontal line. The first one is marked LC (left back). , the second is labeled WF (Winger) and draws a right-pointing symbol between them. (PS: That is LC→WF.)
"Look, everyone, this is an offensive idea from the side. It refers to sending the ball to the side more often and feeding the ball to the striker from the side. We have Gao Yi's speed in the frontcourt. We need Gao Yi's speed. Make more fuss about breakthrough ability. The best choice is to throw the ball into the gap between the opponent’s full-back and central defender, so that it will be more convenient for Gao Yi to directly enter the center from the opponent’s penalty area and complete a fatal blow!”

Listening to Cao Chen's words, the boys below nodded in approval.

In the last game, no matter whether it was the first goal or the second goal, the starting point came from the side. Facts have also proved that the side attack is a way to avoid encountering multiple teams. offensive thinking.

And once the opponent forms a double-team on the side, it means that the opponent's defensive formation is tilted. At this time, the player with the ball only needs to pull the ball out to assist the opponent to complete the shot.

Cao Chen's thinking on the side attack is exactly the same!
If the opponent does not double-team Gao Yi with heavy troops on the side, with Gao Yi's personal ability, he is completely able to "chug and chug" on the side and "make a thousand waves with one stone".

And if the opponent double-teams Gao Yi on the side, then the opponent's defense in other positions needs to be sacrificed, and Gao Yi becomes a "human magnet" that attracts defense. After the opponent's defensive formation is messed up, the ball can be sent to other open teammates, so that the player in the open position can complete the final blow!
Of course, the idea is very perfect, but this is just an idea for the time being, and we need to find out the problems in it through practice.

Seeing the bewildered looks of the boys, Cao Chen reminded helplessly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Uh……"

"understand……"

Except for Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang's very obvious nods, the other players' "understanding" made Cao Chen feel a little helpless. Obviously, what he said just now could not be fully digested by the boys.

As a result, the counterattack routine that Cao Chen had designed in his mind could only be put away temporarily.

This is not impossible, the boys have not yet digested the idea of ​​​​"connecting sideways", and they can't suddenly instill too many things, as the saying goes.

"Hey, then everyone should try to pass the ball more to the wing first, and let me see if there is any problem. I will stop the game and point it out for everyone."

"Uh, well..."

Obviously, the young man didn't want to disappoint Cao Chen either. Seeing Cao Chen's helpless expression, they nodded their heads in good agreement.

Anyway, it is to cooperate more on the side, and to play the ball to Gao Yi on the side, how difficult it is, right?

Since most of the boys couldn't comprehend Cao Chen's tactical intentions for the time being, he could only temporarily skip this tactical arrangement and continue with the next one.

"Also, today the main lineup is only practicing defensive counterattacks, and the substitute lineup will be pressed up for me to play! I don't care how many goals you concede, as long as you put in your strength and play with the main lineup... That's right, just like yesterday when Nancheng Middle School was defeated by us. It's the same after scoring a goal, and it's crazy attacking."

After all, Cao Chen continued to write "defensive counterattack" on the blackboard, but these four words did not seem to fully reflect his tactical thinking, so he added the three words "resolute" in front.

At this moment, the lads in the main lineup suddenly looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Cao Chen is still a masochist. He was held down for most of the game yesterday, and today he even arranged a substitute lineup to continue playing with them. They all feel hopeless.

But the boys on the bench were overjoyed.

In the past intra-team matches, they were often beaten as substitutes for the yellow team. Now, Cao Chen told them to play the main lineup without having to estimate who lost the ball. Of course, these boys were happy.

Even, some people have been secretly fantasizing about how many goals they want to score with the main lineup.

"You decide the formation of the substitute lineup yourself. I don't care about the 7 forwards, as long as you like it..."

Substitute all members of the yellow team: "Yeah... long live... cool..."

"Oh yes, I still have one more thing to solve..."

Cao Chen suddenly thought of something. He arranged for Li Haohan to "stick" to Liu Changqing as a free midfielder, but the substitute lineup hasn't given Li Haohan a rehearsal object yet.

Therefore, Cao Chen glanced at all the members of the substitute yellow team, hoping to find a player among them with characteristics similar to Liu Changqing.

In the end, Cao Chen fixed his gaze on Jin Ling.

"Jin Ling, keep your position fixed and appear in the middle! Imitate Liu Changqing being 'sticky' to Hao Han, will it work?"

Seeing Cao Chen entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility, Jin Ling quickly nodded and agreed, "No problem."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Cao Chen nodded in relief. A young man like Jin Ling, who has delicate skills and a calm personality, is likable. If it is not for tactical needs, there is no other way, otherwise he must be the best choice for the winger position.

After confirming that he had finished talking about the things he should emphasize, Cao Chen asked the boys to tidy up their equipment and start today's intra-team match at any time.
