Chapter 354 Trouble with the core style of play

Next, the focus of the coaching staff's work is to study the tactics for the new season with Zhang Yang.

Tactics is a general term.

Zhang Yang has already done the basic work of tactical planning, such as some fixed formations, players' personal tactics, all have been sorted out, and the rest of the detailed work that has not been planned needs to use the "word spirit calculation" to continue in the same way To analyze, other coaches can't help.

In terms of tactical planning, the main job of the coaching staff is to give a concept and definition for the team's overall style of play, that is, to improve the core style of play.

This is actually because the players have changed too much.

Players in each position have changes. They either become stronger, adjust their positions, or have new players join in. The individual will affect the whole. If the individual changes too much, the whole will need to be overthrown and redone. .

Millwall is no longer the team with 'poor technical strength', 'weak player ability', and 'unranked lineup strength' last season.

Although the overall strength is still not comparable to top teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea, it is also enough to be comparable to Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Everton and other teams.

This is still the basic strength of the team.

Zhang Yang is considering the most suitable tactics, which is to allow the team to continue to improve. At that time, it cannot be said that it will sweep Europe, but it will be considered a top team.

But only if the problem is solved.

The current tactical planning of the team is to formulate the general direction and formulate the core tactical play. He can't solve it by thinking hard alone, so he hopes that the coaching staff can provide some suggestions.

Wise, Frederick and others all participated, and they found a lot of tactical data, including historical tactical data, as well as current tactical analysis of various giant teams.

Which is worth learning from: Manchester United, AC Milan, Barcelona and Arsenal.

Barcelona is a team that is good at Western (Spanish) style of play. Their smooth coordination can dazzle people. In many games, the football was passed to the goal before the opponent realized the threat, which also shows that Aggression in Barcelona football.

Arsenal, which also focuses on offense, emphasizes one word-fast.

Arsenal's 'fast' is extremely penetrating, and often an attack, ten seconds, is enough to send the ball into the opponent's goal.

The Champions League final between the two teams is also a collision of two offensive styles.

AC Milan is the 'Italian style of play', Italy's chain defense is brought into full play by them, Italian football pays attention to the flexibility of the midfield position, just like Gattuso, Pirlo and other players, regardless of their technical strength, the latter The active area of ​​​​the midfielders is relatively large. Many Italian teams use the "three midfielders", and the midfielders even squeezed out the position of the wingers.

Therefore, in Italian football, the presence of wingers is often not strong. Perhaps this is the reason why there are few outstanding wingers in Italy. Their wingers are almost like forwards, and they can all shoot in the penalty area.

Manchester United has brought the offensive and defensive balance to the extreme.

Manchester United's football, it's hard to say whether it focuses on offense or defense. They can play a variety of offense and defense, which also represents Manchester United's football, and the choice between offense and defense is more flexible.

This may also be a disadvantage.

Few fans will have an impression of Manchester United's football style. They only know that they are a strong team with many stars, but the football style is not clear.In fact, Ferguson's football is based on the original 'British style of play', adding a strong technicality.

Manchester United's players are strong and highly skilled. The 'English football' they play has become very flexible, but there are still some shadows of 'English traditional' football.

For example, sidewalks.

Manchester United attaches great importance to the wing, they have the top wingers: David - Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Ronaldo, and so on.

The same goes for the strikers.

Every 'era' of Manchester United will have a strong center forward. From the 90s to the 'Triple Crown' period, Manchester United was led by 'black wind and double evil', and then became the world of Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy. Manchester United did not hesitate to spend halfway A lot of money, the introduction of Everton genius Wayne Rooney.

Like Wayne Rooney, a player whose body is higher than skill, it is difficult to perform well in a team that focuses on technology. For example, the Spanish team has no interest in Rooney, but Rooney can be active in Manchester United, which is enough It can be seen that Manchester United's football still has a British tradition.

The coaching staff carefully analyzed the styles of several top European giants, and quickly discovered a problem-Manchester United is the easiest to 'learn'.

Millwall's new season style is moving closer to Manchester United. They don't even have to do anything, just let the team conduct tactical training normally and improve normally.

But Zhang Yang was not satisfied.

He knows that United's style is not the best for the team.

In his spare time studying tactics, Zhang Yang would also go to the stadium to watch the training. He was always bored in the room, and he might not be able to think of things.

The team's training is progressing steadily.

It has been three days since the gathering to prepare for the game. Three days is almost enough time for the players to put away their holiday thoughts and gradually regain the feeling of training. The atmosphere on the stadium has also improved. Few players talk about the holiday anymore. The topic of discussion has become 'what the coaching staff is studying', 'when will our tactical training start', or some 'gossip' inside and outside the club and international football.

These topics are normal.

While watching the players' training, Zhang Yang also paid careful attention to the changes in the team.

During the summer transfer period, the team's forward line remained unchanged, and some players were added to the midfield. However, despite the additions of Zambrotta, Barragan and others, the team as a whole is stronger in the frontcourt than in the backcourt, regardless of technical strength. , This is true even if the players can drive, but in terms of overall technology, compared with the top teams, there is still a gap.

As far as the frontcourt is concerned, the players on the wing and striker have better speed, technology, and flexibility, while the midfielder is a bit of a drag.

This is not to say that the midfielders are not good, but the technical style of the players.

For example, Josh Simpson and Darren Bent, plus Quaresma and Pires, are all players with fast speed and outstanding skills.

Jody Morris in the middle of the midfield has good overall strength, but in terms of technical style, his speed is a bit of a drag, his passing ability is not strong, and his ball handling ability is relatively weak.

So does Smicer.

Add in a technique... Ahem, David Livermore who 'can't talk about technique', slowing down the rhythm in the middle of the midfield has become a serious problem.

In fact, the bottom line is still a matter of player ability.

If Millwall has a Ronaldinho, Vieira, no, even a mature Fabregas, all problems will be solved.

Jody Morris is still not capable enough!
This is actually a helpless place.

Core midfielders are hard to come by. World-class forwards such as Ronaldinho and Kaka are definitely not something that can be bought by spending pounds.

When he found it difficult for other coaches to give constructive suggestions, Zhang Yang simply pulled all the players with good tactical awareness over.

In the afternoon of the second day, the team had a tactical class.

Other players can move freely, or they can choose to listen in, but Josh Morris, Pires, Smicer, Zambrotta and others must participate. As the saying goes, 'The three cobblers, the top A Zhuge Liang', a group of players with good tactical awareness, analyze and discuss a problem together, and maybe they can get good results.

This also increased the knowledge of new players.

"Zhang Yang... No, the boss wants to discuss the tactics of the new season with us? Do you still need our opinions?"

Gianluca Gianluca was quite surprised to hear the news.

"That's right, that's what he said," Pires said. "He also called our names. According to Vladimir, he thinks our tactical awareness is better than others."

"Anyone who has played football for more than ten years will have good tactical awareness." Zambrotta complained slightly, but was very interested in it.

This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen in other teams.

If the head coach is troubled by any tactical problem, he will think hard alone, at most he will ask other members of the coaching staff for help, no matter where he goes, he will not think about the players.

For one thing, it's not the player's job.

Second, the most important thing is that it may affect the dignity of the team.

Millwall... No, this young Chinese coach is really special!
Although a few players complained slightly about Zhang Yang's approach, it didn't affect their enthusiasm for participation. Everyone was interested in new things, and it was considered a blessing to be able to participate in the team's tactical formulation and give some opinions to the head coach. kind of accomplished.

In addition, for new players, it is also a good opportunity to get familiar with the team.

They can get in touch with the tactics in advance, discuss with the coaches, and discuss with other teammates. In the process, they will definitely become familiar with it and it will be easier to integrate into the atmosphere of the team.

Zhang Yang did not expect that negotiating with the players would have side effects, but organizing the players to discuss together did not produce the desired effect. One afternoon was equivalent to a lesson in tactics, because the players did not understand the new tactics at all.

If you want them to give their opinions, you must first let them have a detailed understanding.

This may take more than three days.

three days?

Tactical training is about to begin!

Of course, the basic tactics have already been formulated. Even if there is no core style of play, the team's performance will not be affected much. In terms of strength evaluation, the current tactics can already allow the team to play around eight stars.

This strength is not a big problem in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Zhang Yang still hopes to be perfect, let the team play unique core tactics, which will definitely directly improve the evaluation star, which is equivalent to improving the strength.
