Football should be played like me

Chapter 125 They Are All Stars, Get Up
"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV, this is the China Television Sports Channel. What is broadcasting for you now is the third round of Group A of the European Youth Championship, Italy vs. England. This is a focus battle..."

On the TV, the host of the sports channel was reporting the scene, and sitting next to him was Luo Cheng.

In the past, Chen Junlai, the editor-in-chief of "World Football Express", served as a special guest for most of the focus battles.

But after the rise of "Super Football", Luo Chengcheng replaced Chen Jun.

This can also explain part of why these two people can never pee in the same pot, because there is a clear competition and mutual replacement relationship between the two.

"Luo Cheng, which team do you like more in this match?" the host asked.

"Of course I support the Italian National Youth Team." Luo Cheng was sure.

The host laughed and said, "Is it because of Lu Yang?"

Luo Cheng shook his head: "It's not just that. In fact, I just came back from Italy yesterday. During this time, our CTV team has been stationed inside the Italian National Youth Team, recording their training and so on."

"I can tell everyone responsibly that the players of the Italian National Youth Team are a group of talented young people, which are completely different from the players of the Italian national team in the past."

"This can also reflect Manello's coaching philosophy. He is looking for and cultivating truly talented players. In the past, Italy's overly procedural selection criteria and tactical system will stifle the spirituality of these players."

"This is also the reason why Italy lacks Mesozoic stars after the older generation of stars."

The host nodded and said, "So in the Italian National Youth Team, who are the players who impressed you the most?"

Luo Chengdao: "Almost every one!"

The host was surprised.

Luo Cheng added: "Of course, I'm not saying that each of their players is perfect, but that each of their players is unique. As long as they cooperate properly, they can exert a very powerful power."

"Of course, it also means that they have the potential to be targeted. But I think that's where Manero is bold."

"There is no perfect player, there is no player who does not make mistakes, unless you do not participate in the game. It is normal for young players to have shortcomings, but it is not advisable to bury their advantages in order to cover up their shortcomings. It is also the tactical strategy of the Italian national team in the past. "

"So the former Italy looked stable, but it was actually weak."

"It's different now. Now they have a lot of problems and seem to be stumbling, but their performance is getting better every game."

Later, Luo Cheng gave a few specific examples.

For example, the Italian central defender combination.

Pirola is tall and strong, has a strong frontal defense ability, a strong ability to fight for the top, and has a certain command and organization ability when defending behind.

Basically, in the past two years, he also has the possibility of going to a wealthy family.

But does this player have any flaws?
Yes, and it's deadly!
His turning speed is slow, and he can't chase back. He is easy to be blown up when he encounters the top Xiaokuailing.

This is why Pirola could not be the main force of the Italian National Youth Team in the previous Carafe era.

Football is different from basketball.

Basketball can be replaced frequently, so it doesn't matter if players have shortcomings, as long as they are targeted and replaced.As long as the head coach's tactical changes can keep up, it's okay for a player to go up and down a few minutes.

But there are only three substitutions in football, and substitutions are very cautious.

So, once you put a player with a huge flaw, you have to design tactics specifically for him to make up for that flaw.

This has very high requirements on the level of the coaching staff, and also has high requirements on the player's own golf quotient. Not everyone will make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

And even if you are fully prepared, others on the court may also have the opportunity to disrupt your tactical arrangements and seize the player's shortcomings and hit hard.

Therefore, for a long time, the football field has been more inclined to use players without shortcomings, rather than players with distinct characteristics and shortcomings.

Especially in the midfield.

Therefore, whether Pirola can prove himself in the giants in the future depends on whether he can overcome his shortcomings of turning around and chasing back.

Similarly, although Jan Lahm, a central defender, has fast speed and strong defensive ability, the impact of his height and strength is already obvious.

The intensity is not enough, and was eaten raw by Polish center Pawowski.

Insufficient height and lack of air defense capabilities are his Achilles' heels.

Right back Kanyes is strong offensively and weak defensively.

Left back Nick Lucy has balanced offense and defense but has no outstanding strengths.

The defensive midfielder Cortino doesn't like sweeping.

All of these players.

You only look at their shortcomings, and naturally feel that they are weak.

But if you only look at their strengths, they are actually really strong.

……

beep!

In the commentary, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The match between Italy VS England has officially begun.

In this game, the only good news for Italy is that the core of the England midfielder strained himself because of showing off his skills during training.

Although it was not serious, his professional and professional agent advised him to withdraw from this European Youth Championship for insurance purposes, and he accepted the suggestion.

But considering that it was Jesse Raheem who played exceptionally well against Spain in the last game to make up for this position, this may not be a good thing.

In the eyes of many people, Raheem is a player no worse than the previous midfielder.

Regardless of the fact that Raheem is a substitute in the England National Youth Team, he is also a substitute in the club Manchester City.

But he was actually a star of hope for Manchester United.

As evidenced by film and television materials, he once coached several superstars when he was a child!So much so that one of the stars still chose to return to Manchester United to open up territory for Jesse at the age of 36!
Although his dribbling is bumpy, he is always able to complete incredible extraordinary.

Although no one can understand his running position, he can always catch the football by accident.

Although his shots are irrational, he can always score goals miraculously.

His game attitude is very correct, he runs without hesitation, and has the reputation of England's iron man.

No matter how tough the game was, he always had a smile on his face and he brought football back to what it started with...Happiness!
Jesse Raheem, the head of happy football, is being trained by Manchester City with the attitude of cultivating the core after he transferred from Manchester United to his rival in the same city.

Not surprisingly, he will definitely lead the Hammers (the nickname of West Ham United) in the future, oh no... lead the Blue Moon (the nickname of the Manchester City club) to glory.

Almost crossed the stage.

Just how amazing is Raheem?
In the 9th minute of the opening, he gave the Italians some color.

England's first young star Mancini was extremely fast. After catching the ball, he waded past Morici, and Momo didn't even have the opportunity to pull his jersey.

If Mancini doesn't have the ball, it basically means that a serious test of the Italian defense has begun.

Italian left-back Nick Lucy tried to put pressure on Mancini, waiting for Moric and others to return to the defense.

But Mancini didn't give him a chance at all, and rushed directly towards Nick Lucy with the ball.

Nick Lucy had no choice but to fight it head-on.

Then I saw Mancini's chain cycle, and then dialed the ball to cut in, directly passing Nick Lucy, a left back who is not bad at defending.

Nick Lucy was almost knocked over.

It is also riding a bicycle, some players are not afraid of stepping on others.

But for some people, even if they only step on it once or twice, it is enough to scare a person to death.

Because cycling is not just a technical action.

The real ecstasy king, eyes, face orientation, expression, shoulder direction, body rotation direction, momentary changes in leg raising and ball touch strength, etc., are full of drama and cannot be guarded against.

As long as Messi touches the ball, it is tantamount to a technical dribble attempt, which is the reason.

boom!
Cortino fell back very quickly this time, and Ram also rushed out in time, and the two were surrounded.

Mancini has a good football quotient. He glanced at Raheem who was helping him to run sideways, and transferred the football out without hesitation before Cortino made a move.

On the right, Raheem got the ball, but he didn't expect Mancini to pass it to him.

Although I, Jesse Rahim, is handsome and good at football, my ambitions are really small. His original intention is to run diligently and help Mancini pull the side, that's all.

So when Raheem received the ball, he was already near the baseline, and theoretically there was no room for manipulation.

Pirola rushed forward immediately, ready to squeeze Rahim out of the bottom line.

Pirola's physical strength, eating a Raheem, has no problem.

And yet... Little Prince Jesse Raheem of Manchester embodies his own spirituality.

He pulled the ball and stepped on the ball, made a half-marseille maneuver, and escaped Pirola's grab.

Then he took a step in time, avoiding most of the impact brought by Pirolla, and the cat crawled out from Pirolla's armpit.

Tiptoe.

The football flies into the penalty area, but it is not an inverted triangle pass.

Instead... Pass it to yourself a second later!

boom!
Rahim, who had thrown off Pirola with his explosive power, caught up with the football and shot with his left foot.

You know, his position is about two meters away from the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. In theory, even the left-footed shooting angle is less than 15.00%.

Judging from the expected goal value of this shot, the probability of scoring is less than [-]%.

however……

Raheem being Raheem, never played with common sense.

You all say that passing the ball is better at this position?

OK, I'll shoot then.

And then...the ball goes in.

Areola tried his best to expand his defensive area, but still failed to touch the football.

There is one thing to say, the personal abilities of this group of England stars are outrageous!
Anyone who explodes can pose a fatal threat to the goal.

Today is definitely a big test for Areola.

"GOAL! Jesse! The great Jesse scored again! I just said that he has the ability of a superstar, and he shouldn't be sitting on the bench at all!"

"A beautiful and wonderful goal! Jesse Raheem is like a Premier League star possessed at this moment. He is fancy and spiritual, no worse than Mancini, and his explosive shot shattered Italy's self-confidence! "

"England scored a goal in less than 10 minutes, and they were invincible!"

"The Italian team is in trouble. They used to say that England is not strong, but now they are behind..."

"I have to admit that Mancini's performance in that ball just now was too eye-catching! The left back of the Italian team couldn't resist Mancini's impact at all. I have a hunch that Mancini will still play in this game Make a big fuss here!"

"It's no wonder that Raheem will be looted by Liverpool's two Premier League teams. He must also be a football superstar in the future!"

The commentators were full of bragging about Raheem, because his goals were incredible.

Lu Yang is quite familiar with these treatments, because most of the time after he scored a miraculous goal, the commentator would brag about him like this.

Lu Yang looked at Raheem, he felt that he should pay more attention to Raheem and Mancini.

Raheem is very strange, he doesn't feel particularly strong, but he is very "spiritual".

And Mancini, there is no doubt that there is no doubt that he is strong.

Lu Yang even doubted whether Mancini's rating had broken through the star barrier and reached the level of a first-class star of 85 or above.

You know, how old is Mancini?

If he is already a first-class star now, in the next two or three years, with the growth rate of his strength, he might be able to become a top star.

And at his peak, he is likely to be a "superstar"!
"Hey, wake up, guys!"

Lu Yang's thinking was interrupted by Raheem.

After he scored a goal, he pulled his teammates to celebrate together, and danced a crappy nightclub dance on the green field.

The graceful dancing posture and funny expression made people laugh.

The atmosphere of the entire England team instantly became lively.

"This is not a good thing." Morici walked to Lu Yang's side and whispered to Lu Yang.

I have to admit that the England players are indeed a group of talented stars.

This kind of team is sometimes difficult to play, for example when they find a sense of confidence and freedom.

Then everyone really has the potential to explode.

And their explosive level is enough to change the outcome of a game.

This is the scariest part of Team Stars.

And now, Raheem has obviously opened up the happiness value of the whole team, and everyone is free of tension. In theory, any next England player may reproduce the performance of Mancini and Raheem just now.

This is absolutely terrifying.

"It's really a bit tricky. Happy football can always make players perform at a super level." Lu Yang nodded.

Faced with this situation, there is often a very standard way of dealing with it.

That's... hard and rough defensive action.

scare each other!

This is the best way to suppress young talented players, and it is quite effective.

Even when I was young, I was often educated by old players in this way, and most of the time after being educated, I did become much more honest.

But the problem is, this is England's national youth team.

More than half of their players are starting in the five major league teams.

Many of them can still shine in the rough and fast-paced confrontation of the Premier League.

The pressure put on them by the Italian National Youth Team cannot reach the Premier League level.

So this method is invalid.

Of course, in the face of geniuses, there is another way to restrain them, or to make them less relaxed.

That is to show the same level of talent and let them take it seriously.

What is the essence of happy football?
Is it because the basic skills are not solid?
No!

Whether it is Lin Huang or Sterling, they are all young talents who have been shining since childhood. Even if their basic skills are far from Messi in their age group, they are probably better than most stars of the same age group.

If there is a problem with their basic skills, they will not get a chance to play in the Premier League at all.

In fact, the essence of happy football is that the psychological quality is not strong enough, so that the mind affects the muscles and nerves at critical moments, resulting in movement deformation.

Kids who seem confident tend to have a lot of stage fright when it's really big.

This point has been buried in the tradition of the England national team for a long time, and it has not changed. It is just that the term happy football has become popular in recent years.

But in fact they have been very happy.

So Lu Yang decided to put pressure on them.

As for the ability to make English players feel the technical pressure, Ceballos is probably the only one on the Italian side.

Moric's skills are also good, but his speed is not good and his impact is weak.

So Lu Yang temporarily changed positions with Morici, stood on the left front waist, and found Ceballos and whispered to him.

Ceballos had no doubts about Lu Yang's arrangement.

The Army has the final say!
Looking at the overall situation on the court, Ceballos would be the first to say that someone is better than the Lu team.

During the Italy Star journey last year, Lu Yang's research and grasp of players' psychology was so perfect that he led a group of second-rate young Italian players to kill the substitute Arsenal.

This is definitely not why Arsenal is too weak.

what?
You said why not considering it is the reason why Arsenal is too weak?
Hehe, you are 4 no 4 no 4 looking for 4!

……

beep!

The game restarts.

The Italian team firmly controlled the ball this time and began to let Ceballos find his way on the left.

But Raheem's commitment to the game was astounding.

He just scored a goal, and this time he exerted his influence on the defensive end again.

He has a very wide range of running, and Ceballos was harassed by him. Several breakthroughs were not too successful, so he could only pass back.

People who often watch Lu Yang play football can clearly feel that this Raheem is a bit like Lu Yang.

Both of them are active in running.

Perhaps the only difference is that Lu Yang's running is very defensive, and his defensive ability is very good.

As for Raheem, it's more like running like a shit stick, which is not very targeted, but it makes people uncomfortable and disgusting.

"This way."

When Ceballos held the ball, Lu Yang appeared on his right side.

Ceballos passed the football to Lu Yang.

Rahim rushed towards Lu Yang immediately, and continued to stir the shitstick.

Lu Yang was very dissatisfied with this behavior.

Because if you're a shit stirrer, what are we?
So, it's better for me to be the shit stirrer.

Lu Yang pulled the ball in a V shape, avoided Raheem's attack and completed the change of direction.

But Lu Yang did not leave, but took the opportunity to lean on Raheem and gave him a physical confrontation.

This group of England midfielders has a very distinctive feature, that is... they are generally thinner.

They are not slow, Mancini is even super fast, but they are not strong.

They may have tough bones because they have been polished by the Premier League.

But both the team and the fans are willing to give these young people space, take advantage of their speed, and watch them play speed football instead of watching them gain weight and then play fleshy football.

Because every team has no shortage of players with strong confrontation, but more or less needs a few young people who can rush.

The English definition of a good young offensive star is... fast!

And the definition of a good young offensive star in other leagues is... very good at passing, good pass!

Sometimes the two are the same, and sometimes they are very different.

So... Lu Yang's purpose of this physical confrontation was not to eat Rahim raw or anything.

He just blocked Raheem's return position and passed the ball back to Ceballos.

In this way, Raheem can only shoot at Lu Yang's back, and he can no longer chase the football like a piece of brown sugar.

boom!
Ceballos took off directly after receiving the ball, dribbling the ball and advancing rapidly on the left.

The England right-back retreated all the way back, his action was to prevent Ceballos from cutting inside.

But it can also be seen as fishing.

Because I prevent you from cutting inside, you will choose to dial the ball to the bottom.

At this time, if the right back picks up again, he can often give Ceballos a surprise and destroy football in advance.

England's full-backs are often roles with excellent speed and confrontation.

England's attacking players are thin and true.

But their defensive players are often at the other extreme, that is, they are very confrontational and arrogant.

The full-back combines the common ground of both.

So if nothing else, the full-backs provided by England will have extremely strong defensive capabilities in the future.

But it is a pity that the highest requirement for full-backs in the future football world is not strong defensive ability, but strong offensive expansion. This can only be said that the English are a little bit back.

The next moment, Ceballos cut directly inside, not eating England's right back at all.

Who I want to confront is not based on how you are, but on my mood.

As domineering as the previous Mancini.

Ceballos flicked a cow's tail while driving at high speed, shocking everyone.

The England right-back is like a wooden stake, no matter how fast he is, he has no chance to use it, and he is directly passed.

Then dribbled a step, Ceballos raised his foot, ready to shoot.

England's right central defender hurried over to defend, raised his foot high, and was ready to block.

As a result, Ceballos did not touch the ball with his raised left foot, but knocked the ball with his heel when he fell.

Heel kick to change direction.

Ceballos swayed out of space and made a cross pass.

Lu Yang, who was near the penalty area, successfully received the ball.

England's defensive players were on the verge of a big enemy, knowing that they had missed someone.

Their left central defender Chalobah rushed towards Lu Yang.

This Chalobah is AC Milan's youth trainee Chalobah. He played against Lu Yang in the Coppa Italia final two months ago, um... Forget it, let's not mention this one.

The kid was almost rushed back to England by AC Milan fans after the game.

But in essence, he can be regarded as a relatively good young central defender.

boom!
Lu Yang flicked the cow's tail, stood on the spot and threw the football out.

The football passed through the crotch of the rushing Chalobah and entered the penalty area.

Then the Italian right winger Pompetti rushed to the horse, was unmarked in the penalty area, and shot with his left foot.

The England goalkeeper was beyond his reach and failed to prevent the emergence of this wonderful goal.

"GOAL! The Italian players responded, and they also scored a wonderful goal."

"As expected of the Italian national youth team getting better and better, their players are shining brightly!"

"Different from the previous Italian national teams, Manello's Italian national youth team has many talented players and tactics that make them shine. This Italian team may not look so stable, but it has More possibilities!"

"The beautiful goals that the English players can kick, the Italian players can also kick!"

"Italian National Youth Team, equalize the score!"
