Chapter 357 The first warm-up match
Pires doubts whether the dual-core style of play can be successful. In fact, it is a problem with the tactical system of the entire team. It is also the work of Zhang Yang and the coaching staff, and has little direct relationship with him.

So Pires followed Smicer's advice, kept his doubts in his heart, and simply stopped thinking about it.

Gianluca Gianluca is another mentality.

Zambrotta has long had a career plan. Although he is just over 29 years old and is still at his peak, and there are still a few years before he retires, but if he wants to become a football coach, he must start studying early. That's why he chose to leave Juventus to develop in the Premier League, so that he can get in touch with more football models, so that his thinking will not be imprisoned by a specific league style.

When Zhang Yang talked about the dual-core play style, Zambrotta's thirst for knowledge was immediately aroused. He didn't think about whether the "dual-core play style" could be successful, but hoped to learn all about it. tactical details.

Maybe this is good for the growth of tactical ability?

Zambrotta thinks from this angle, so when all his teammates leave, only Zambrotta stays, hoping to learn more from Zhang Yang on the dual-core play style.

It is rare for a player to take the initiative to understand the tactics, and Zhang Yang also stayed to give Zambrotta guidance alone.

This is very interesting.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of the remedial lessons of the students in his previous life. Has he become a one-on-one tutor?The only regret is that there is no high return, especially for supplementary lessons for big players at the Zambrotta level, and the detailed explanations are still in Italian. Why do you have to charge [-] pounds an hour?

Zhang Yang regretted that he was not paid, but he still explained the overall tactical essentials to Zambrotta seriously.

The core point of success in the dual-core style of play is to collectively "command" the players on the field. The core players are to lead the offense, organize the defense, and control the rhythm. When there are two cores, problems arise. The players on the field don't know who to listen to.

Zhang Yang asked the players on the field to perform their duties.

This sounds easy, but apart from Millwall, the tactics are based on allowing players to play freely, and it is very difficult for other teams to do so.

Millwall will definitely be affected, so the two core players must be divided into regions. In terms of rhythm control, the two core players must also coordinate.

This requires the performance of core players, as well as overall confidence.

Most players actually don’t need any command when they are on the field. When the football is at their feet, they will run forward to attack. At most, they will check the position of their teammates. The overall running is directly related, and the captain on the field will not shout, "speed up the pace", but follow the overall running, and individual players will know how to run.

The 'command' in football matches is mostly a kind of 'psychological awareness'.

Millwall will maximize and weaken the real "command". In other words, even without a core and no captain on the field, Millwall can still perform well.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Yang dared to use dual-core tactics: he did not solve the fundamental problem of dual-core, but Millwall's tactics fundamentally solved most of the problems.

During the explanation to Zambrotta, Zhang Yang found that he had a more thorough understanding of tactics. There were some things that he hadn't thought of before, but after explaining them again, he found that he thought of more things.

Zambrotta was amazed at the team's tactics.

"Based on the performance of the players?" Zambrotta has read some media reports, but he thinks they are nonsense, and they are simply random guesses and tactics. , It doesn't make much sense at all, he should know how to formulate "tactics for players to develop their abilities" for the team.

There is no way to make publicity in this regard.

Unless Zambrotta also has a system, and also has a 'spiritual calculation' function, otherwise he will never learn it.

----

In the next week, the team will conduct normal training in the morning and tactical training in the afternoon. After the training, there will be a two-hour tactical class.

A week, more than ten hours of study, let most players know what to do when they are on the court.

As for the overall tactics, there are still not many people who know about them. Most players are not interested. Only Zambrotta, Jody Morris, Smicer, etc., who hope to have an understanding of the overall tactics, will take the initiative. Get to know these things.

Of course, that doesn't matter.

As long as each player knows what to do on the court, what other people do and how the team plays as a whole has nothing to do with them.

This kind of indoctrination education has a very good effect.

While the players are 'learning', tactical training is also going on at the same time. Some players are beginning to adapt to the tactics, and the old players are easier to adapt. They have the experience of 'adapting'. The basis of the new tactics is still to play the player's ability. Only the running, coordination rules, and the team's offensive and defensive tendencies have some changes. It takes longer for new players, and they have no way to directly adapt to the tactical play that can be "freely played" on the field.

In the words of Pires, "This is so strange!"

"If I were allowed to play at will, I would probably bring the ball directly into the goal, but that is obviously impossible. I still have to follow the tactical framework. There will be a balance between free play and tactical planning...Anyway, I am So understood, it is not easy to find this balance.”

Pires' statement also represents the experience of most new players.

This is to be expected.

Last summer, most of the players had a similar experience. It takes a long time for them to adapt. It is not something that can be fully played in a dozen days or a month. Some players use a season to adapt, and as time goes by Slowly, the performance is getting better and better.

Zhang Yang doesn't expect all players to adapt quickly, but some key players, such as Pires and Quaresma, still need to get into shape quickly, otherwise it may affect the team's performance.

----

In the process of preparing for the training, Millwall also had new signings.

Li Wei can't participate in the Premier League games, so he can only be sent to the youth team to participate in training. Zhang Yang cultivated him as a seed. If he can grow rapidly, it is of course the best. Otherwise, there is no loss in giving a young player a chance. .

But the team has only two goalkeepers. Millwall quickly reached a loan agreement with Arsenal, and their young goalkeeper Vito Mannone was loaned to Millwall.

Vito Mannone is an Italian player who is only young. He has been in the Arsenal youth team before and performed fairly well. However, a goalkeeper of this age has too little game experience and unstable performance. He must not be able to represent Arsenal. Na played.

Millwall loaned Vito Mannone just to add a goalkeeper to prevent accidents from happening.

The day after Vito Mannone joined the team, Millwall quickly signed 33-year-old veteran Dietmar Hamann.

Dietmar Hamann is a very well-known star. He has played for Bayern Munich, Newcastle United and Liverpool in his career. The fans are still familiar with Liverpool. He is the absolute main force of Liverpool. Even last season, Hamann still played for Liverpool. Liverpool has played [-] times. His rich experience and stable performance make him easy to gain trust and always have a chance to play.

The Millwall club provided Harman with a "2+1" contract, that is, a two-year contract. If he can still play after two years, he will renew the contract for another year, otherwise Harman can leave with compensation.

Harman received an annual salary of 180 million pounds.

Millwall still has rivals, Manchester City have always wanted to sign Haman, they offered a better contract, with an annual salary of more than 200 million pounds.

In the end, Harman chose Millwall. In an interview with reporters, Harman said, "Millwall is more promising. They were the league champions last season. They also have many excellent additions this season. Zambrotta, Pires , I really want to become teammates with them, to chase victories and championships together.”

After Vito Mannone and Dietmar Hamann joined the team, Zhang Yang promoted two youth team players and expanded the first team to 25 players, making up for the number of league players stipulated by the FA.

At this point, the first team is ready.

In order for the players to quickly adapt to the tactics, the team held a warm-up match against Xavier Athletic from the Second Division.

In this game, Millwall played very openly.

Zhang Yang did not arrange established tactics, but let the players play freely on the field and play as they like. Millwall players were also very active, but without established tactics, each player was like a wild horse running wild. Some of them showed off their footwork, while others cooperated creatively, which made their opponents a little confused for a while, and also confused the watching media and fans--
What is Millwall doing?
The game was too messy!
Many people looked at the head coach Zhang Yang frequently. Zhang Yang was standing on the sidelines with a smile on his face, with a relaxed expression, just like his coaching state last season. He always looked like this, and no one could tell that he was thinking about it. what.

The reporters who came to interview had different opinions.

It is difficult to see from the game what kind of tactics Millwall is playing. The tactics seem to be 'no tactics'. Could it be that Millwall deliberately used 'no tactics' exhibition games to attract the attention of the media and fans?

No one can figure it out.

They naturally don't know that allowing players to play freely is also a way for Millwall to practice tactics. New players can't grasp the balance between free play and tactical planning, so they simply let them play freely. Knowing what free play is, After getting familiar with the feeling, you will know how to cooperate according to the tactical memory.

As the game progressed, many people found that Millwall played some tricks.

The running of the players, the coordination of passing and receiving from the center to the frontcourt, and the breakthrough and crossing of the wide players, etc., when Millwall played some coordination, Seawell Athletic faced great defensive pressure.

Millwall's main threat is still in the 'free play' wing.

Quaresma and Pires, the two experts on the wing have too much advantage in personal ability compared to Xiweier Qiuyan. They constantly seek breakthroughs, and pass the ball to dangerous positions again and again after reaching the position. Let the defense of Xiwei Athletic be in a hurry, they have no good way to stop it.

Next is the personal play time of Pires and Quaresma. Millwall also used this time to score two goals in a row.

Halfway through the second half, Pires and Quaresma were both replaced. They were of little significance in the game. Millwall began to seek cooperation in the middle, and other players also had room to play.

In the end, Millwall defeated Seawell Athletic 4-1.
