Chapter 221

"Kick more aggressively?"

Last season, the slight change in the team's style of play was just a small problem. Zhang Yang only needs to tell the lineup to press forward, and the team will naturally play a more oppressive attack.

As for the effect, I will not talk about it.

The situation in each game is different, and the change in tactics will be beneficial or harmful, but no matter what, a small change in the style of play will not be very difficult, and even only one substitution is needed. do it.

It's different now.

For new tactics, making changes is quite a difficult job.

That's not an easy problem to solve.

The formulation of the new tactics is extremely precise. When it comes to the game, the players in each position have a clear division of labor, and the cooperation between them has been set. Only "precision" can bring strength to the team.

But at the same time, no tactic is perfect.

There are also considerable problems with the new tactics, which can be described in two words: rigid.

General tactics can be adjusted, such as changing a few players, or compressing the formation, or changing the formation. A small adjustment will make the tactics look different, but the core point of the power of the new tactics is to make it easier for players to show their strength. , rather than the power of the tactics themselves.

This is what makes the new tactics special.

In terms of the fundamental principle of formulating tactics, the new tactics are completely different from the tactics of other teams.

To make it easier for each player to display their strength, they must be given the most suitable functions. If it is for small changes in the style of play, the performance of players in each position is restricted, and the strength of the players is restricted. The tactical power will definitely be different. decline, so the most basic point is to keep the functions of players in each position unchanged.

For example, Josh Simpson on the right, his function is to cooperate with the defense on the right, cooperate with the center of the midfield, and play a connecting role with the striker, etc. He will also cooperate with other teammates some of the time. If there is a small change in the tactical play, for example, let him pass the ball more to the players in the middle, it is tantamount to limiting his ability. Whenever he gets the ball, Simpson will Thinking, "The coach asked me to cooperate more with other people." Naturally, his personal breakthrough ability cannot be fully utilized, which is tantamount to limiting his performance.

The same goes for other players.

The point of the new tactics is to let each player play their due strength and let them play in the tactics they are best at. If the tactical framework is used to limit the performance of players, it will touch the foundation of building tactics, which will definitely make the overall power of the tactics Big discount.

This is the shortcoming of the new tactics - old-fashioned.

If it is rigid, it is difficult to make adjustments, even a small change is very difficult.

Perhaps using another word to describe it is easier for people to accept-perfect, the new tactics have become perfect, allowing the fixed lineup to play "almost the maximum possible" strength, a group of players with average strength, the composition can completely suppress Black Ben's team is the biggest proof.

It is impossible to do this with other tactics.

No matter how famous the head coach in the world is, it is impossible to do better when he comes to coach Millwall.

But... not enough!
Millwall's strength is too poor. Even if there is a new tactical improvement that tends to be "perfect", the overall strength can only reach the mid-range teams of the Premier League, and there is still a big gap in strength between the top teams. With a few 'supernatural powers' abilities to assist, and Zhang Yang is not 100% sure, the team will definitely be able to enter the top four in the league.

In addition, it is very important to point out that Millwall's style of play is very simple, and a simple style of play can be easily cracked.

When encountering a gap in strength, the team is likely to be fully suppressed, and comprehensive suppression also represents a comprehensive passivity. It will be too difficult to win at that time.

"I want to adjust the tactics..."

Zhang Yang hesitated.

This is a very critical issue. If you want to modify the tactics, you must also do so on the basis of 'not changing the functions of each position'.

So how exactly?

In the next few days, as long as there is a gap, Zhang Yang will start to study this problem. He is just a "rookie" in the head coaching world. Changes, you can use the ability of "word spirit calculation" to analyze whether the changes are good or bad.

Zhang Yang soon discovered that the formation can be changed.

When writing out a lineup and using the ability of 'word spirit calculation' to analyze the 'current lineup strength', a clear lineup map will be automatically drawn in my mind, but that is only the 'best' tactical lineup, not the 'best' tactical lineup. You have to play that kind of tactics', and there is no problem in changing the formation a little bit.

However, the most basic thing is the 'functions of players at each position'. Changing the lineup cannot limit the performance of players at each position. The impact is that some players at positions shoulder more responsibilities, and the responsibilities of other players are shared. .

Zhang Yang began to try to change the formation.

This is not something that can be figured out immediately. It requires a lot of analysis and calculation, and various ways to make adjustments. It is not enough to make too many adjustments, because the players will not adapt to the field. They did not do it for a month in a row. ready for battle.

In this tactical thinking, the second round of the league is imminent.

Zhang Yang can't care about changing the formation anymore. Winning the game is the most important thing now. As long as Millwall plays normally, the team's performance will not be too bad, at least it will not be pulled down by other teams.

As long as the team can perform normally, Millwall will also explode with surprising strength.

In the second round of the league, Millwall challenged Newcastle United in an away game. Facing Newcastle United, which has 'no Michael Owen' and 'very weak striker', Millwall still played well away.

But in the game, the problem of 'tactical old-fashioned' was also exposed.

Even if there is no strong striker in the team, the overall strength of Newcastle United is still not comparable to that of Millwall. They suppressed Millwall with their strong strength.

The game was tough from the first minute.

In the first half, Newcastle United took advantage of a corner kick and directly broke through the goal of Millwall. Even Zhang Yang reminded him in advance that it was of no avail. Afterwards, Millwall also broke out and took advantage of a counterattack opportunity. Braniff helped the team equalize. .

In the second half of the game, the fighting between the two sides became much more intense.

Millwall is struggling.

Newcastle United also put in an effort, and with the support of the home fans, their performance was a bit better.

But in the end, he tried his best to lose to the supernatural powers!
In the 81st minute of positive advancement, Josh Simpson cut inside to the middle and relied on a long shot to make a tentative shot.

Zhang Yang used his magical powers, "Goal!"

Josh Simpson was in good shape and kicked a long-range shot with high rotation. The football drew a long arc against the turf and went straight into the dead corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Shay watched the football fly in blankly. Give your teammates a helpless look.

1 is better than 2!

Millwall beat Newcastle United at St James' Park to secure a second-round victory with goals from Braniff and Josh Simpson.

After winning the second round, Millwall's name began to appear frequently in the British media.

Millwall has won two rounds in a row.

So far, there are only five teams that have won the first two rounds in a row. Apart from Millwall, there are Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Charlton. Due to the first big victory against Blackburn, Millwall's goal difference reached as many as six. With six goal difference, Millwall also ranked first in the league.

After the first round, few media paid attention to it. A round of games can’t explain anything. Millwall may not necessarily get points in the next game. Talking about goal difference is meaningless.

It's the same now.

The victory over Newcastle United guaranteed Millwall's points and allowed them to stay in the first place in the league.

Up to now, there have been many so-called 'football commentators' who have begun to seriously analyze Millwall. It is rare for a newly promoted horse to win two rounds in a row. It is even more difficult if one of them is a big victory, but After analyzing and analyzing, they didn't feel that Millwall's tactical play was a big deal. On the contrary, the performance of the players in the team was impressive.

Two of Millwall's standout players were Kevin Braniff and Josh Simpson.

Braniff scored three goals in two games.

Simpson also completed two goals.

Considering that Braniff is a striker and Simpson is just a winger, there is not much difference between two goals and three goals. In addition, Simpson is younger, and many media have begun to shout, "England have another talent on the right!"

"Two games, two goals!"

"The Simpsons shine!"

"At only 19 years old, Simpson's performance is amazing, and he will become an important pillar of the England team's right wing in the future!"

"..."

At the same time, Braniff has received a lot of praise, but it is a pity that he is only a forward: there are too many talented forwards in world football, one more than him is not too many, and one less of him is not too many.

When Zhang Yang saw these reports, he only found it funny. He knew better than anyone the reasons why the players performed well.

It's actually a tactic.

Millwall's tactics will allow players in all positions to perform well. Tactics based on individual combinations will of course allow players to perform well. If you want to say who is not a genius, at least Simpson and Braniff can only be regarded as capable. generally.

If the two go to other teams, it is estimated that they can only wipe out everyone, and they will be forgotten after a season.

Fortunately they are in Millwall.

Zhang Yang doesn't mind letting the media praise his players, just like what Ebenezer said, professional football needs media attention, and the more attention you get, the more famous you will be, and the higher your income will be.

The same goes for the performance of the players.

When being watched by many people, there will be a certain amount of pressure, maybe the pressure can also be transformed into motivation?
