Chapter 169 Trust in the Adaptation Period

() It has to be said that the overall strength of the British Championship is more than one level stronger than that of the League One, especially the veteran team Nottingham Forest!

They abandoned Clough's smooth passing and gradually infiltrating beautiful style of play. In order to impact the Premier League, Nottingham Forest's head coach even Burleigh began to use Graham's defense at home.

What is Graham's defense?

It's the guy who won the championship at Highbury with a defensive counterattack that his fans didn't want to see!

Now Nottingham Forest has completely changed. Intercepting, blocking, and fighting have become the mainstream. After stealing the ball, they do not overdo it, do not penetrate, and counterattack directly on the spot with a long pass is their tactic.

If that's all, Burleigh won't lose. It's not like they haven't seen such a team in League One. The key is that Keane, who replaced Redondo, also had problems.

Richard has never been worried about Keane. He thinks that Keane may be the safest part of his many signings. He is a famous former captain of Manchester United and a villain in England. How can such a player not adapt to the British Championship?

It's not that Keane failed to adapt to the British Championship, but he failed to adapt to Burleigh. To be precise, Keane failed to adapt to Burleigh's tactics and Burleigh's passing.

What about Burleigh's pass?You don’t need to look at where your teammates are, just raise your foot and pass, because everyone has their own area. Within a certain area, Burleigh players can always receive the pass and send it out.But Keane is not familiar with this area. Even though Richard explained to Keane alone before the game, oral explanation and actual combat are two different things. Even tactical training and actual combat are two concepts. Manchester United's running system has been deeply impressed. In Keane's bones, the midfielder running in the Burleigh camp is still Manchester United's Keane, not Burleigh's captain.

Therefore, in Burleigh's offense, once the ball was passed to Keane's feet, he either ran over or missed the passing position. In short, Keane could never find his place in Burleigh's tactics... Can't blame Keane. It took Richard two full years to create this tactic, and it took a season just for the players to get familiar with the defense. If such a tactic can be integrated by any outsider, what's the point? Is there anything special about it?

This does not mean that Keane is incapable. Keane was unable to perform in offense, but he did a great job in defense. In the first half alone, he had 6 steals and 2 blocked dangerous passes. His defensive statistics can be Comparable to Diarra who is very familiar with this tactic.

Keane was not the only factor that led to the instability of Burleigh's loss, but also Cavani and Falcao, who played for Burleigh for the first time, two players with impeccable skills and bodies, let alone 'mismatched half Spring tactics' They didn't even understand the 'spring tactics' very well. Once Nasri clearly created an excellent opportunity to send the ball to no man's land... As a result, there was really no one to respond to the no man's land until the opponent's defender drew the ball The ball was stolen, and Falcao ran to the position where he should appear.

Li Cha stomped beside him angrily, as if replacing the kettle with a gold-rimmed lid, but the size of the lid was wrong.

In the first half, Nottingham Forest penetrated Burleigh's gate twice in the first half, 9 of which were effective shots, and 5 of them were within the range of the goal frame. This is not Nottingham Forest's defensive counterattack. Look at this The number of goals is simply sharper than the offensive tactics.If Adler hadn't fought hard in front of the goal, the score would have been more than 2:0.

Richard didn't blame anyone during the halftime break, it was his fault, he thought that players like Cavani, Falcao and Keane shouldn't have to work too hard to integrate into a team, now he understands It takes a lot of time for a stereotyped tactic to integrate new players, which is why Poborski and Veron cannot become the favorites of Old Trafford, because Ferguson cannot use the team's results as a bet for these two players. Players have too much time to prove themselves.

In the second half, Richard replaced three players in a row, Van Persie replaced Cavani, Di Natale replaced Falcao, Redondo replaced Keane, Burleigh immediately became different!

Burleigh played against Nottingham Forest throughout the second half. In the 47th minute of the second half, Ashley's breakthrough cross created an excellent opportunity, and Van Persie grabbed a point in front of the goal to get a goal back.

This is Burleigh!

As a result, Nottingham Forest replaced Nugent, who was very familiar with this tactic. Nugent took advantage of Pepe's unfamiliarity with Burleigh's tactics, and did not retreat at the moment when Burleigh's spring tactics were pressed, and waited in front. As a result, after Nottingham intercepted a long pass, he immediately rushed through the new line of defense formed by Albiol and Pepe with his strong body, and scored a single-handed goal.

3: 1!

This aroused the anger of the Burleigh players. In the 60 minutes of the second half, Di Natale acted as an arrow to control the spring tactics, led Burleigh to quickly press past, then suddenly slowed down, and quickly distributed the ball to the left half. Van Persie again The anti-offside successfully passed the goalkeeper to equalize the score.

3: 2!

Richard continued to make substitutions, Merdesacker replaced Pepe, and Vermaelen replaced Albiol. At this time, Burleigh's offense and defense reached a kind of balanced toughness. At this time, Burleigh Li Cai became the Burleigh who beat Chelsea and Manchester United back then.

Unfortunately, Burleigh was unlucky, and did not score a goal in the next three or ten minutes, but Nottingham Forest never played any decent counterattack in the next game.

After the game, Li Cha did not swear after a rare loss in the locker room. Instead, he said to all the players who had just joined Burleigh: "This loss is not shameful. Now do you know how strong Burleigh is? It's so powerful that you can't blend in!"

This is not cursing, but it is worse than cursing. A player can't even integrate into the team, so what face do they have to hang around here?

In the following training, the hardest-working people in the team became Cavani, Falcao, Pepe, Ribery and Keane.Keane led a few of them to hide in his assistant coach's office and watched Burleigh's own recorded game videos one by one. Starting from Burleigh in England C, he has been watching League One win the double championship. They made every effort to integrate into the team to be able to come back.

I have to say that Ribery is smarter than them. In addition to watching the game video, Ribery also asked every player in Burleigh. He asked himself what kind of ball they would be more comfortable to get. When approaching the penalty area When the time comes, what should I do to let them understand their own thoughts and the route of the upcoming pass...

Li Cha saw all these efforts, and he chose to give them more game time to help them quickly integrate into the team.

In the friendly match between Burleigh and Leeds, all the new players played, and the goalkeeper was still Adler who performed well; Ziegler, Pepe, Thiago Silva, van der Weil stood on the back line from left to right The midfielder is Nocerino's partner Keane, and the wings are Mata and Ribery; the striker is still Cavani and Falcao.

The old Kewell, who played a guest commentary on this game, slammed Burleigh from the head coach to the players, because what he saw was not the familiar Burleigh!

Burleigh should be a smoothly running machine, each player is like a part on the machine that rarely goes wrong, on the contrary, sometimes they can perform beyond normal.

What now?The current Burleigh looks extremely stubborn, as if the machine is out of oil, and it seems that there will be a "creaking" sound when any part is moved.

2: 2!

This is the final score of the whole game, but Li Cha has seen the progress of the new players.Pepe is starting to hold back his nerves, led by the steady Thiago Silva, who made his first attempt at commanding the defense without Vermaelen, despite a normal game. There were still two loopholes, but this showed his talent to lead the defense.Keane began to understand Burleigh's area. Even though he still seemed a little rusty in this game, he sent a key assist to help Cavani score.The one who improved the most was Ribéry, who was unbelievably smart, integrated into the team with almost no obstacles, and even scored the equalizer in the game.

It was Ribery's performance that made the old Kewell scold Richard: "Why can't you buy some guys like Ribery? Look at the fancy technology under this scarred face, look at his speed, look at it." Look at his coping ability and running position! Li Cha, did you just have two successful seasons and start taking credit for yourself and becoming a fatuous emperor?"

Li Cha didn't make any excuses, he had just been lifted by the FA. He had already been banned for seven months (an additional one-month ban was added for interfering with the game) and now he didn't want to cause any trouble.

After the game, Richard praised everyone in the locker room. What he saw was completely different from what the fans saw. What he saw was a positive team: "Very good, Cavani, you That's what you should do, use your strong body to resist the opponent's central defender, treat him as your rival in love, and absolutely don't let him interfere with your receiving, dribbling, or shooting!"

"Guys, you did a good job, but you still need some time to adapt, that is to say, you can't be the main force in the main game, unless you can surprise me in the next game."

As a result, the 'Extra Training Five' started a new round of battle. They invited other players to help them practice for an extra hour after the game, so as to let them quickly familiarize themselves with their running positions.Li Cha, who saw this scene, directly extended Burleigh's off-duty time, and led the team doctor and coach to watch them practice extra. Whenever there was something wrong, Li Cha would rush over and correct him unceremoniously... This is a fast In the process of progress, several talented players actually showed signs of being integrated into the team after their final assault efforts!

During the extra training, Falcao began to understand what role Di Natale played, and he began to replace Di Natale as the core of the substitute lineup.Falcao, who was already skilled, immediately put great pressure on Vermaelen. Falcao is not only skilled, but his strong body is comparable to that of a defender!

Cavani also began to give Merdesack a headache. Cavani, who started to understand, used his speed and spiritual anti-offside to break through Merdesack effortlessly. Merdesack was forced to stop with fouls one after another. His progress, Cavani also has a strong physique like a bodybuilder, which makes Merdesack wonder if the boss has found two monsters in the fitness center.

In the friendly match against Birmingham, Burleigh began to improve again, Pepe and Thiago Silva's defense gradually stabilized, and Ribery began to become a powerful presence on the right side!When Falcao and Cavani used their bodies to ravage the opponent's defender, the head coach of Birmingham wanted to cry, but Li Cha kept smiling on the coaching bench, very gentlemanly, but he still spit out dirty words: "Yes , that's what he-mother-should do!"

3: 1!

This is the answer sheet that this group of rookies handed over for Richard. Although they still wasted many opportunities in the game, and the defense line continued to have problems one after another, they already knew what was going on with this tactic, and they knew what to do. Use this tactic to maximize yourself.

After the friendly match, Li Cha looked at everyone and said: "Congratulations, you have finally passed, but Burleigh does not need players who can pass the pass, so in the UEFA Cup qualifying round, most of you still have to pass." Sit on the bench for me!"

ps: Thank you Brother Lu Cheng for your reward. In addition, you can build a group. After you build it, leave a group number in the book review area. I will put it on the top and add to the group. As long as you don’t think I have less time to talk, I will always dive just fine.
