Chapter 204 Complete Lineup
From Denise's words, Zhang Yang realized the key vocabulary to solve tactical problems: main idea.

Theme, that is, the main meaning, intention or purpose, in writing refers to the basic point of view expressed through the entire content of the article or work. It is the purpose of writing and discussing the article. It can be said that the theme is the article or the soul of the work.

This may be a bit abstract.

The subject can also be simply understood as 'what the article or work wants to tell us'.

Football tactics also need a theme, theme, or another term, which can be called the core style of play, style, and so on.

Famous football teams in the world will have a memorable 'style'. For example, when talking about Arsenal, many people will have the impression that they are 'biased towards smooth and fast offensive football'. Arsenal's rival Tottenham is hot. The same is true for Thorn. The kind of brisk football with fast-paced changes is the impression the fans have of them.

Chelsea's football is relatively conservative. After Mourinho took over, the '1:0' football criticized by the conservative media is enough to make people remember deeply.

La Liga giants Barcelona's football is based on possession of the ball. When they get the team, they will also use the method of passing and receiving the ball continuously to take the initiative in offense.

The Serie A giants AC Milan is a team that focuses on technical details. They are very good at small-scale cooperation and step-by-step cooperation to form a situational, psychological, two-dimensional, all-round suppression of the opponent.

From the above examples of famous teams, we can see that the style of a team is actually mainly reflected in its offensive methods.

Whether it is the fast pace of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, or the conservatism of Chelsea, Barcelona's possession of the ball, and AC Milan's oppressive advancement, each of them is a manifestation of offensive methods.

Defense, there is no style at all.

When the opponent has possession of the ball, it must be targeted and defended. The defensive tactics of football all over the world can be counted with one hand. There is not much difference between them. As well as the personal abilities of the players, it is meaningless to talk about the defensive style to block their own half-court area.

So the offensive style can represent the overall style of a team's football tactics.

Zhang Yang didn't think about this problem, he just kept modifying partial tactical routines, but no matter how he modified them, the partial could not represent the whole after all, there was no 'main line' running through the entire team's tactics, scattered or scattered, he had to Think of a style that will hold Millwall together.

So what's the right style for Millwall?

This question seems a bit complicated, but it is actually very simple. First of all, those styles that are suitable for the rich teams are definitely not suitable for Millwall. Just look at the team lineup and you will know that the team’s average level cannot keep up with the team if the style of play is too complicated. It's hard to really adapt.

Just like Barcelona's ball-handling style, anyone who has done research will clearly understand Barcelona's tactics, but almost no team imitates Barcelona.

why?
They don't have Ronaldinho, Harvey, and a group of stars with outstanding technical ability, adaptability to tactics, superb skills, and an excellent overall view. It is almost impossible to imitate Barcelona's tactics.

Chelsea's style is simple, that is, they constantly emphasize defense and are very conservative when attacking, but their style of play is still very demanding. For example, they have a German who can rush into the opponent's penalty area and score goals in the face of tough defense. Robba, there are also powerful stars like Lampard and Makelele in the midfield.

Millwall went to imitate Chelsea's style, and the only result was that they couldn't score goals at all in the game.

The same goes for other top teams.

Their tactical style of play and overall style are only suitable for a specific lineup. If other teams want to imitate, they first need to adapt to the lineup of play. Millwall does not have the conditions.

Zhang Yang quickly thought of the most suitable core style of play for the team: English football.

----

The traditional English football style of play is nothing more than defensive counterattack and long pass.

Many people think that it is football 'behind the times', but in fact, many English clubs still use this style of play and have not tried to catch up with the 'world footsteps'. The reason is simple: the style of play cannot be changed in a short time , In addition, when the team's technical level is not up to standard, using the so-called "world footsteps" tactical play will actually affect the team's performance.

Tactics are not the more refined the better, but the more suitable the better.

Many people think that Spanish football has technical content. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the top teams in the world, so they began to praise the so-called "Spanish style of play". Teams are meaningless.

Just do a simple comparison.

If you compare the top teams in Spain with the top teams in England, maybe there is not much difference between the two, and even the top teams in Spain are even better. Real Madrid and Barcelona have won more in history. An honor that few teams can match.

What about another level of comparison?

Comparing the mid-range teams in the Premier League and the mid-range teams in La Liga, it can be said with certainty that the performance and strength of the mid-range teams in the Premier League are comprehensively superior.

Going further to the lower leagues, comparing the English Championship and the Second Division, the two are basically incomparable. The English Championship is considered the "sixth largest league in the world" is not casually said.

So is 'British traditional play' behind the times?
From the perspective of top teams, this is probably the case, but from the perspective of ordinary teams, the 'English traditional style of play' is the best choice. It is not only simple and straightforward, but also allows them to play better results.

With Millwall's lineup level, they can only choose the simplest 'British style of play'.

There are also many differences in 'English play'.

The situation of each team is different, and the feeling of playing is also different. Zhang Yang has changed a lot of small tactical details. As long as the concepts of "long pass and lob" and "defensive counterattack" are added to it, it will be enough to support a team. A tactical system suitable for Millwall.

This tactical system, named "Zhang's Tactics" by Zhang Yang, its core point is to defend with a full-court press. In terms of offense, it can be described as "logical and logical defensive counterattacks, long passes and punches." and a quick counterattack'.

----

Once Zhang Yang has figured out the core style of play, the rest is easy. He starts to outline the overall tactics on the tactical board, and then adds in the small details.

The work took half an hour.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang used "Speaking Spirit Calculations", and the results he got were very gratifying--
Current ability evaluation: seven stars and four points.

"Finally on Seven Stars!"

From six-star nine points to seven-star four points, it has crossed half a star level, which is definitely a huge improvement.

Zhang Yang couldn't help showing a happy smile.

The seven-star four-point lineup evaluation does not represent the current strength, but as long as the team trains according to the established tactics, the overall strength will be closer to the seven-star four-point level.

There is still enough time for summer preparations. As long as they can train normally, before the start of the new season, Zhang Yang believes that the strength of the team will definitely be able to break through the seven-star level.

Seven Stars must have reached the middle level of the Premier League.

As long as he plays at this level normally, there is no problem with relegation in the league. Coupled with his various abilities, he can also strive for the top four in the league.

Of course, there is still a lot of pressure to compete with the giants.

For example, Chelsea and Manchester United must have more than eight stars or even nine stars. The two are not on the same level, but there is still more than a week before the start of preparations. There is still plenty of time, and he still has time to continue to make changes.

"keep it up!"

After getting a seven-star or above ability evaluation, Zhang Yang is more confident than ever, and he becomes full of fighting spirit when working.

----

In the afternoon, good news came from the club's operations department. They completed the last transfer and spent £50 to purchase Paul Konchesky from Charlton.

It was a windfall.

When Zhang Yang got the news, he was really a little surprised. He seemed to have a little impression of the name 'Konchesky'. Players should be able to kick it out.

After checking Konchesky's information, Zhang Yang knew what was going on.

This is a player who has played in the Premier League for a long time.

I don't know what will happen in the future, but he has played consecutively in Charlton. He is only 24 years old and is a versatile player on the left. He can play left back or left forward.

Konchesky has been playing for Charlton before. As a rookie, he joined Charlton in August 1997, and then became the youngest first-line player to play for Charlton at the age of 8 years and 16 days.

Konchesky is undoubtedly a genius, but genius will be defeated by injuries.

As a first-team player for Charlton, Konchesky made only 27 appearances for Charlton.

In the summer of 2003, Konchesky asked the team for a transfer due to the surplus of personnel on the left side of the team, and it was agreed. After that, Konchesky was loaned to Tottenham Hotspur, and Charlton suffered an injury halfway through. During the illness, he was called back and was also removed from the transfer list.

Last season, Konchesky once again served as a substitute and only played [-] times for the team. He was already frustrated with Charlton and decided to transfer and leave.

Charlton does not have a place for Konchesky, and they can only choose to let him go.

Konchesky wanted to join Tottenham Hotspur, but he was not the player that Tottenham Hotspur needed. In the end, he could only find a club by himself. After some communication with Millwall, he chose to join Millwall as newly promoted.

Konchesky's career can be described as 'injury, no position, injury, no position'. He has always performed well, but unfortunately the impact of the injury is too great. The team lost its position.

So what Konchesky values ​​most is the main position.

He is only 24 years old now, and there is still a long way to go in the future. The most important thing is to continue to play in the Premier League. His mentality when he chooses to join Millwall can be seen clearly.

This is definitely a windfall.

Before Zhang Yang had given up hope on the left side, it was a bit extravagant to add a pure left back, so he could only let other players serve concurrently. I didn't expect the club to help buy a pure left side player.

Konchesky, I don't know if he can play the main force, but based on his previous performance, there is absolutely no problem as the 'first substitute' of the left back and left midfielder.

If a player is injured in the middle of the team, he can directly be the main force.

Such a player is very important to stabilize the lineup.

After Konchesky signed a new contract, Zhang Yang knew that the club's transfer work could almost end early.

The lineup is complete.

Get ready for the new season!
