Born to be a coach [soccer]

After the pre-match mobilization meeting, Anton announced the end of today's training.But he kept captain Garner and two other midfielders.Everyone knew that the head coach might have to give face-to-face instructions for tomorrow's game, so someone called in assistant coach Russell.Club CEO Martin was also very interested and came to listen together.

Anton did not refuse anyone and took everyone to his new office.There, he had moved out a huge tactical board that Simon had left behind.Instead, several huge monitors formed a complete curved widescreen.Several staff members of the Guangming Academy were a little shocked when they saw it. They all felt that the style of the new head coach was incompatible with England's traditional coaches, and they felt like a "geek".

Anton turned on the computer, clicked on a file at random, and a three-dimensional map of a modern football field appeared in front of everyone.

"As I said, I'm here this time to solve the problem." Anton pointed his finger, and a large dense dot matrix immediately appeared on the three-dimensional map, "I analyzed Sunderland from the beginning of last season until the match against Sheffield Wednesday. All the data for the game. This is the spatial matrix analysis of your passes with the ball and runs without the ball in the first three 10 minutes of the game."

Everyone opened their mouths, looking at the dense dot matrix, which was still three-dimensional: "We... can't understand it!"

Including Russell and Martin, no one has really seen "calculating" football game tactics like Anton.

Anton smiled slightly, and typed on the keyboard: "This is the same spatial analysis, from the last 10 minutes of your game."

Garner and Henderson saw it immediately: "There are obviously more holes in the midfield."

After 10 minutes of game six, Sunderland's formation will be obviously loose in the midfield, concentrated in the center and left, and the ground is slightly better than the air.You may not be able to tell from watching the video of the game, but once you superimpose the data of all past games and compare them before and after, the problem will appear immediately.

Ghana is experienced and answered immediately: "Firstly, it is because the physical fitness of the players has declined, and the central and frontcourt players did not return to the defense in time, and secondly, it is because..." He wanted to say that at this time, the players may be leading by one goal, and the players may relax.But it hurt to say it, and Garner held back.

Anton glanced at him, smiled and said, "Lorick, you want me to treat you to McDonald's, you, the captain, can't be so polite!"

Garner blushed immediately. His style of captain was soft and had always been criticized by others.

Anton let Garner go, saying: "So, although Sunderland is not the team that conceded the most goals in the entire league, it is the team that conceded the most goals in the last three 10 minutes. Our problem is here, Guys, we have a consistent attacking front line, but tomorrow, we must work on solving this problem."

The team members nodded together: "Otherwise, there will be no McDonald's!"

Martin and Russell listened in a daze for a while, really not sure whether Anton could win by relying on these pointers.However, "firefighting coaches" generally face such a situation: the previous coach's technical and tactical system is relatively fixed, and the players have also adapted to the old system.When a new coach takes office, he usually adjusts the key positions. As for the main tactics and overall formation, it will be slowly polished later.

When everyone left, Russell stayed at the end. The middle-aged man in his forties paused when he left, and looked back at Anton: "The head coach..."

"Please call me Anton!" Anton raised his gray-blue eyes and looked at him from behind the lenses.

"Anton," Russell frowned, "there is a question that I have never understood. Martin said that you made a guarantee in front of the fans, saying that if the team can't change by the 28th round, you will resign... ...why round 28?"

The corner of Anton's mouth raised upwards: "Have you heard of the 'Golden Section'?"

Russell frowned, "What?"

Anton said: "It is the sacred ratio in mathematics, 0.618, corresponding to a total of 46 rounds of the British Championship, which happens to be the 28th round. So I think, after the first 28 rounds, whether the team can relegation or not should be generally seen. Out."

When Russell heard the word "mathematics", he felt that the first one was two big, so he quickly shook his hand and said goodbye to Anton: Anton is whatever he says, no matter what "gold" or "sacred" he is, as long as he doesn't come Just make things difficult for his poor student.

At the Stadium of Light, a press conference is routinely held before the game.

As the coach of the team, Anton had his first press conference. Martin accompanied him very intimately and introduced him to the reporters present: "During this personnel change, Anton has always been the club's first choice. We feel very happy. Fortunately, Anton accepted our invitation and came to coach."

But the questions asked by the reporters were clearly influenced by Ruben Smith, the sports editor of the Daily Mail.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of the commentator's article in the Daily Mail? Is it convenient for you to announce your coaching experience and resume to the fans?"

Anton didn't change his face: "There is nothing inconvenient. I have read the comments in the Post. I think Mr. Smith's keyboard must have been hijacked to write such an article."

The author's reporter below: ...Great, I just like this kind of polite talk without dirty words.

"In addition, I am very grateful for Mr. Smith's concern about Sunderland's future. Regarding Mr. Smith's prediction, I believe that at the end of the season, he himself will be interested in writing a commentary again, explaining why he will Such an absurd idea was born out of thin air. Everyone, whether Sunderland can avoid relegation or not is not determined by anyone's pen. This will be the result of the whole team winning game by game."

Martin was sitting next to him, almost wanting to applaud: he was afraid that Anton would not be able to deal with these tricky reporters in England, but the young man's performance exceeded expectations, and he was so excited.

"Sunderland also received the Queen's blessing yesterday morning. We are very confident about the future of this season." Martin added from the side, he knew that once the news spread, it would immediately increase Sunderland's attention.Sure enough, after hearing this sentence, the reporters bowed their heads one after another, typing away, or memorizing something quickly in their interview notebooks.

"About my personal coaching experience," Anton looked at the notebook in his hand, "I have accepted the interview invitation from The Mirror, and maybe you will have a full understanding of my resume next week."

Earlier today, Jack had already called from London with great excitement. As a regular employee of the sports department of "Mirror", he invited Anton for an exclusive interview.Anton, of course, agreed to him.

The reporters at the scene turned their attention to the upcoming game.

"Mr. Lin, what kind of changes will you bring to Sunderland? In this game, what tactics have you arranged for the players that is different from the previous head coach?"

"This game against Derby County, can Sunderland get rid of the vicious circle of winning at home for nine months?"

"Are you familiar with Derby County? Do you know the head coach Clough?"

"In addition, the winter window is about to enter, what is the prospect of Sunderland's signings?"

Anton nodded tactfully, and replied concisely: "Everyone, what you will enjoy is a game of light."
