Mo Yang dragged two baskets of balls to the training ground and saw Lippi standing in front of the goal with his hands behind his back and looking at him with a smile.
"Sir!" Mo Yang raised his hand to say hello and trotted over immediately.
After a while, the two sat on the floor and started chatting directly.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Lippi got straight to the point and said: "Yang, if I ask you to play as a defensive midfielder, will you do it?"
Mo Yang was startled when he heard this, and after a while he was unsure and said: "You mean defensive counterattack?"
"Yes!" Lippi nodded, with a smile on his dark face. He is really a smart little guy, and he knows everything right.
Mo Yang frowned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he did not agree directly, but asked: "What about the attack?"
Lippi did not answer, but handed Mo Yang a thick folder and gestured: "Take a look, and then tell me what you think!"
Regarding Mo Yang, Lippi knew early on that this player's talent was not only reflected in his skills.
In addition to his amazing skills, this player also has excellent tactical awareness and a very smart brain.
Except for some important international events this year, Lippi rarely called Mo Yang back to China, but he never paid less attention to Mo Yang, and his understanding of Mo Yang continued to deepen through games.
He would make time to watch every game Mo Yang played in Liverpool.
Gradually, he discovered that Mo Yang had taken the initiative to change the head coach's tactical arrangements many times in the Premier League and Champions League.
This is very incredible for a player.
But this change has an incredible effect every time.
For example, in the recent Champions League finals, in the post-match media interview, Klopp admitted that the tactics for the third goal were not arranged by him, but were tactical changes made by Mo Yang based on the situation on the field.
What does this mean? It means that this kid's ability to read the game is as good as his skills.
So for the next ten minutes or so, Lippi sat silently waiting for Mo Yang, and the two of them were bathed in the morning light.
And this harmonious scene was very incredible in the eyes of other players who came to the court to start warming up.
They knew very well how irritable the old man was during this period, and he often scolded them until they were bloody.
But what’s wrong with the smile that the grandfather is looking at his grandson now?
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Is this how a brother is treated?" someone lamented.
"Isn't the first brother our Zheng Shumi?" Bai Lele raised his hand and asked shamelessly.
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
"Get out of here and stop teasing me!" Zheng Zhixu kicked Bai Lele, then looked around at everyone, "Want to be treated like Mo Yang?"
"nonsense!"
"Of course!"
"Who wouldn't want to be the first brother!"
"..."
Hao Junmin, Yu Dabao and others nodded.
"Stop dreaming and warm up for me!"
"cut!"
Bai Lele took the lead in cheering, and then ran off with Wu Lei in her arms.
On Mo Yang's side, he carefully read the first tactical plan before raising his head and said with a wry smile: "Sir, is this a bit risky?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it!" Mo Yang organized his words and said. He actually wanted to say that he was afraid of being beaten until his eyes were covered with twists and turns.
Lippi's tactics are not complicated, and Mo Yang thinks it can even be said to be simple.
The basic formation is still 433, but the forward line has undergone a big change, that is, Bai Lele has been moved to the center, and the two wings are Wu Lei and Hao Junmin. He has strengthened the impact of the forward line.
To sum it up in one sentence, the central idea is to stabilize the defense and then seek the first quick counterattack, which is to use Bai Lele's visually impactful speed to hit the opponent behind.
Lippi's arrangement for him is to defend the midfielder. Although he needs to connect the three front and back fields in series during the game, his main focus is on defense. Of course, he is also responsible for counterattacking the ball.
But the problem is not tactics, but can they really defend against it? Don't fail to steal the chicken when the time comes, but instead be beaten into a funnel.
Not to mention France, the all-star lineup gives Mo Yang a headache just thinking about it.
Just talking about Denmark and Peru, Mo Yang felt that they might not be able to defend if the opponent kept the ball and continued to attack.
Peru Moyang doesn’t know much about it.
But he understands that in Denmark, most of the players play in the five major leagues, and there are top midfielders like Eriksen.
Once there is no way to contain Eriksen in the midfield and allow him to organize attacks unscrupulously, the consequences will be terrible just thinking about it.
Faced with Mo Yang's question, Lippi smiled, said nothing more, and raised his hand to signal Mo Yang to continue reading the following tactics.
After more than half an hour, Mo Yang read it all, his face changed from serious to dumbfounded, and he finally understood.
The following tactics include strong attack, focusing on midfield, and flying on both wings. There are detailed and complete routines on how to fight tough battles.
Good guy, there are more than ten tactics, both offensive and defensive.
This is basically a complete tactical system.
Mo Yang raised his head and looked at Lippi curiously.
"Can it be done?" Lippi looked at Mo Yang and asked meaningfully.
"I can do it!" Mo Yang hesitated and nodded solemnly, "This is within my ability."
Hearing Mo Yang's answer, Lippi finally smiled again. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Yang, actually you should understand why I separated these tactics."
"I understand!" Mo Yang smiled very bitterly.
How could he not understand? This is basically what the five major European leagues are playing.
If these tactics are combined together, it will definitely be a very good or even excellent tactical system.
But the problem is that only he, Bai Lele and Wu Lei, who have been playing outside all year round, are the only ones in the team who can adapt to such a complex tactical system.
Others probably won't be able to fight.
This is not a question of ability!
But there are huge differences in the youth training systems that Eastern and Western players receive.
For example, when he first entered Chelsea's Cobham youth training base, the coach thought that he had no basic skills, so he started teaching him from the basics.
The teaching is very detailed, and even each movement has a fixed standard.
Mo Yang thought he would continue to be taught like this.
As a result, the coach didn't even mention it for a few days. After teaching him the basics he needed to learn at this age, he immediately started teaching him how to cooperate with his teammates and how to integrate into the team.
In the beginning, it was just a variety of simple coordination training, and then this coordination gradually escalated and became more complicated, until the players integrated this coordination into their own bodies.
Later, Mo Yang understood that the things he was exposed to in China were completely different from what Chelsea used.
The training methods, methods, concepts, and management models are completely different.
European youth training not only focuses on fine foundations, but also on the teamwork ability cultivated from an early age.
And it's not just about fine teamwork.
There is also the issue of the overall rhythm of the team.
If you want to play the kind of game rhythm that you can compete with European teams, Mo Yang can do it with ease.
But once this fast pace is integrated into Lippi's complex tactical system, others will immediately feel uncomfortable. Facing the opponent's impact, it is very easy to cause confusion if the offense and defense switch too quickly.
And Lippi's tactical system needs to operate at a certain level of game rhythm to see results.
So this is the root of the problem. The two cannot be perfectly integrated, which is why Lippi split the tactical system and handed it over to him to control.
But this puts more pressure on him, and he has more power on the court than the midfield commander.
Once he is wrong, the game is over!
Although he also played this way at Liverpool with Klopp's trust.
But that was occasional, and he didn't have the courage to go against Klopp.
Of course, except when that scumbag had a fit, most of his arrangements were very reasonable, and there was no need for him to fiddle with anything.
