Three days later, as the last member of Simon King's coaching team, Zhang Qiang arrived at the Vizera Stadium with another Argentinian named Riquelme.

Simon King warmly received them and immediately gathered all the coaches together to start a meeting to improve tactics.

"The purpose of setting up a bus is to control the opponent."

"High pressure is to force mistakes and use them to gain possession of the ball."

"The short pass counterattack involves encirclement and interception in the near ball area and interception in the far ball area."

"The fusion of three different ideas resulted in the formation of a containment in the near ball area, forcing the opponent to pass the ball along the prepared route, thus forming an on-the-spot counterattack after interception in the far ball area."

After explaining the above ideas, Simon King began to inquire.

"When we get the ball in the frontcourt, I hope that the players in the near ball area can run in both directions, so as to provide the ball holder with a forward or backward connection point. But this will bring about a

The problem is that when the ball is in the middle, we will have fewer receiving points, so what should we do?"

Armando said: "We can use a midfielder to run forward from the midfielder position to receive the ball, so that he and the center can form a double connection."

George said: "Behind him, you can use the in-cut full-back you introduced before. But the left wing is very difficult because your left winger is actually a forward standing on the wing, so

It's difficult for the left-back to cut in."

Riquelme smiled and said: "Let me interrupt everyone."

Simon King looked at him with expectation in his eyes.

"What you said is fine, but can we add a detail?"

After that, Riquelme walked onto the podium and said while drawing: "The passer, can you receive the ball first and then move forward?"

Looking at the pen in his hand and the graphics on the blackboard, everyone fell into thinking.

Simon King thought for a while and said: "What you draw is that after the passer delivers the ball, he first runs backward to help the person being passed to create a backward space. After that, the pass

As a person, you can choose to catch the ball or move forward according to the situation. Is this what you mean?"

"Yeah, remember Barcelona? In their short passes, the passer often catches the ball backwards, and then after the person being passed passes the ball back, they will choose to move forward to cooperate with each other.

.So this kind of running backward is actually to create space."

"It makes sense, but we can't just let these two people participate in running backwards. There should be three people."

As Armando said this, he picked up the pen and drew a three-person stance on the blackboard.

"The ball is passed backwards, and the passer also runs backwards, but at this time, another person needs to run forward from the receiver's side. When the receiver gets the ball, don't stop the ball, just hit it directly

The passer passes the ball with his foot to the person running forward. At this time, the passer who had already run backwards jumps in again at high speed to catch the ball from the second receiver."

Everyone nodded in unison, and Simon Jin also praised: "Nothing wrong, our vertical intensive short pass relies on short direct passes, or short diagonal passes to tear apart the opponent's formation. After this adjustment, not only direct passes

The pull is retained, and it can also gain enough space for our deep-lying playmaker, which is a very good suggestion."

Hearing the appreciation, Riquelme and Armando looked at each other and showed smiles of mutual appreciation.

Just listen to George, who has been silent, suddenly say: "Only forward and back passes are allowed in the frontcourt. I think this is good. But in the backcourt, I suggest adding cross passes. In addition, I suggest that when getting the ball from the wing,

, our attacking midfielder should ideally be able to run to the far end of the center."

"What do you mean?" Simon King asked.

George said: "Let's talk about changing positions first, because our winger has already advanced on this side. If the midfielder also advances on this side, there will be duplication in the position. If the center is allowed to get closer to the ball player, the forward

If the waist is inserted from the other side of the center, the center's space will become better."

"Good idea." Simon King nodded and asked: "What about the cross pass from the backcourt?"

"As a defensive coach, if I look at it from the opponent's perspective, if there is no cross pass, then our people will be easily marked and the offensive rhythm will be slowed down."

George spoke very slowly, but every word he said caught Simon King's attention.

Zhang Qiang said: "I agree with Mr. George's point of view. Of course, if every one of our players has De Bruyne's passing skills, it will not be a problem."

"It's a pity we didn't." Del said.

Simon King couldn't help but think of what his senior Evangelista said: "The most efficient counterattack is never a long pass! Because the long pass is so purposeful, it is impossible to pass it when facing a well-trained opponent.

constitute a threat."

So he decisively accepted George's suggestion and said: "It may be self-defeating to blindly pursue speed in the backcourt. Then I would like to ask everyone, when we are in the backcourt, can we use a similar method to the frontcourt?

What about? For example, after opening the space through a short direct pass, you can directly make a long pass to find the opponent's far end?"

Armando said: "Only on the right where the deep-lying playmaker is located. It doesn't work on the left. Marco Paul doesn't have this ability, and the left back is not Kiki."

In the end, after six hours of discussion, Simon King's style of play was completely decided.

However, he did not immediately issue instructions to the system to perfect his own play style. After all, he still had time and could practice it again.

"Okay. The basic tactics have been decided. Now it's up to everyone to work hard. Of course, I will also help."

Everyone looked at Ximen Jin and said: "It's not hard work, it's all our job."

Simon Jin nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "I plan to divide the focus of the next training into four parts."

"First, the frontcourt passing and catching training and the backcourt passing and catching training are just as we discussed just now, but we need to increase the training of one-touch passing. After all, our tactics require a quick word.

"

"Second, running training. Uncle Ben Yedder, I think the containment training you used during the youth training evaluation can be used here."

"Third, the responsibilities of each position and the overall awareness. This work is very important. Players must understand what they have to do. Of course, I will give you this part of the information after I complete it."

"Fourth, rest when in possession of the ball. From a tactical point of view, whether we are attacking or defending, the main point is to run, so the players do not have time to take a walk and rest at all. Therefore, I am going to take a break on the 20th of each half.

By the 30th minute, let the players regain their strength by controlling the ball."

Armando said: "Do you want to do segmented offense and defense?"

"No." Simon King shook his head and said, "Only control the ball, not attack."

Del said: "What should we do if the other party comes to grab us?"

Simon King smiled and said: "If we have to come up to grab it, and the whole team comes to grab it, then we can only score one or two of them."

Amid the happy laughter of everyone, Ben Yedel said: "I will take the lead on the fourth item you mentioned, but the specific design still needs your help."

"no problem."

"no problem."

"Happy to oblige."

Although they have not been together for long, Ben Yedder has already used his outstanding abilities to gain the respect of all coaches.

At this time, Zhang Qiang suddenly suggested: "Can you let me do an extra training session on set kicks after training?"

Simon King nodded and said: "Yes. And I think that fifteen minutes of set-piece offensive and defensive training should be added after every training."

"also……"

Simon King looked at Armando again and said: "Sir, you still need to pay more attention to the tactical system you mentioned last time, that is, the design of constants and variables."

"What are the constants and variables?" All the coaches became excited.
