Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 72 Arranging Tactics
Ipswich Town is managed by Joe Royle.

Since the age of 15, Joe Royle has been a well-known talent in the Everton youth army. When he played for Everton for the first time, he had just passed his 17th birthday. After that, his career went smoothly and he entered the England national team Considered one of the best goalscorers in England history.

After retiring, Joe Royle has been a coach for 20 years now.

Compared with those top coaches in the world, Joe Royle's coaching career is not smooth, but in recent years, he has been able to coach the English Championship team for a long time, and it must not be said to be bad.

Joe Royle's coaching style is what many people talk about.

In the player era, Joe Royle was a striker who advocated offense. After he became the head coach, he emphasized defense, and the team's style became conservative.

The contrast was said to be, 'Royle is a striker, he knows how easy it is to score goals'.

At this moment, Joe Royle's face became serious.

From the beginning of the game until now, he has not paid much attention to it, just like Zhang Yang said 'the game is under control', he also thinks so, he doesn't think he will lose to someone in his early twenties, without any professional player experience young people.

This Millwall team is chaotic.

Ipswich Town is taking advantage of the opponent's chaos to easily get the first three points after Christmas.

Joe Royle has always thought so, and now he can't relax a little bit, because Millwall finished the goal, and Kevin Keir kicked the ball into the gate of Ipswich Town

This is tantamount to kicking Joe Royle in the face.

Joe Royle can't lose his temper, anything can happen in a football game.

He just doesn't get it a little bit.

Is this just Millwall's luck, or is everything the young Chinese expected?
Under normal circumstances, Joe Royle would definitely think it was a dribble, but from the beginning of the game to now, Royle is also observing carefully, no matter how dangerous Millwall is or how good the opportunity is, that None of the young Chinese's expressions changed.

Smile.

calm.

This is not the performance that a young coach who has just taken office should have in the face of fierce competition.

"Maybe that's his character?"

"It can only be explained by dribbling!"

----

Kevin Kiel's goal, of course, is considered luck.

Zhang Yang did not intervene in the team's tactics, nor did he make adjustments to the game. Millwall's ability to score goals was entirely due to the performance of the players on the field.

Perhaps it has something to do with arranging the starting lineup so that the lucky evaluation of "Yan Ling Divination" is "auspicious". If you are lucky, it is always easier to score goals, but "lucky" itself represents luck.

Zhang Yang was able to remain calm only because he knew what would happen in advance.

But in fact, he was still a little excited.

This is his first game after he officially became the head coach, and the outcome is really important.

He has the confidence to lead the team to victory, but goals are always exciting.

However, Zhang Yang remained calm, because he knew that his identity had changed. If he was a 'match instructor', he could have as much fun as the fans. Now that he is the head coach of the team, he must control his emotions at any time. To score a goal, you also need to keep a clear mind at all times in order to make judgments and adjustments at any time.

The game continues.

Neither team has made any adjustments, and the situation of the game will not change much because of the goal.

Millwall is still looking for offensive suppression, while Ipswich Town still maintains a solid defense, and from time to time there will be a wave of offense to threaten Millwall's goal.

This situation is quite unfavorable for Millwall.

Aldous began to worry again, he was worried that the goal would be broken by Ipswich Town, and the score would be tied by the opponent.

Zhang Yang said, "Calm down, Aldous, of course I know it's dangerous now, but it's not a good time. We have to go to the midfield at least to make adjustments."

Aldous was right to think about it.

The game is still going on now, and it is impossible to make major adjustments. Then he forced himself to remain calm, sat back in his seat, and began to think deeply about emotional issues.

He felt that he was too nervous.

Although he has participated in competitions with the team before, it is the first time to serve as the 'first assistant coach', and he really hopes to win for the first time.

Aldous couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhang Yang.

This young man in his early twenties is surprisingly calm. The opponent may be under more pressure because he is the head coach of the team. He not only faces the game, but also faces the pressure from the media, fans and the club if he loses. .

The mentality gap between the two is too great.

"The club's decision to let him serve as the head coach also makes sense." Aldous thought.

----

The follow-up game in the first half was difficult.

In the last 5 minutes, Ipswich Town scored two waves of offensives into the penalty area, and also completed three shots in the penalty area and outside, but still failed to break through Millwall's goal.

Millwall fans breathed a sigh of relief, they can spend a half-time in peace.

The Millwall players returned to the dressing room with some fear.

After a tense first half, every player was a little bit tired. After returning to the locker room, they began to rest. Some people were talking about the game, but most of them were related to defense.

The locker room door opened.

Zhang Yang walked in, and Aldous followed behind.

Everyone looked over.

Although Zhang Yang is the head coach voted by the players, most players don't really care about it, because Zhang Yang is so young, it is hard for them to believe what he can do.

Zhang Yang lost his signature smile, and there was still a trace of solemnity between his brows.

After entering the locker room, he glanced left and right, stood in the middle, and then waved to the surroundings, saying, "Come here, listen carefully. Now let's explain how to play in the second half."

Many players showed interest.

Although Zhang Yang is the head coach of the team, it is definitely the first time for him to explain tactics and style of play.

Looking at the players surrounding him, Zhang Yang first summed up the first half with a very serious expression, "We were very dangerous in the first half. You can also feel it in the game, our opponents always have opportunities, and the goal seems to be broken at any time. But in the end we stuck with it and scored a goal and everyone played really well."

Many players nodded.

Zhang Yang continued, "But now is not the time to celebrate, we must work hard to maintain our advantage. So in the second half of the game, we will strengthen our defense."

"Everyone should know something about Ipswich Town, but maybe not many people know their specific style of play..."

Then Zhang Yang began to talk about Ipswich Town.

"Ipswich Town is a team that is good at counter-attacking. They often stick to the defensive counter-attacking style when they are behind. Unless there is no hope at all, they will not really attack. And they seek The way to score goals is generally to rely on counterattacks."

"Let's talk about their offense. In the past games, Ipswich Town mostly attacked from the right, maybe because their right flank is a star player, their habit is to rely on the right flank and score from the front. They rely more on left-forward Brand, and they are also good at switching from left to right, so we must pay attention to this."

"In addition, when they advance forward, they often form a triangle attack in the middle. The offensive and defensive style of play is very stable, and it is quite a headache..."

Zhang Yang began to speak in detail.

At the beginning, everyone didn't listen very seriously. When an 'amateur' talked about football tactics, he felt that there was no connotation, but as the analysis gradually deepened, everyone became serious.

They were also quite surprised.

Most people have always thought that this young Chinese doesn't understand professional football at all, but can he say such a detailed tactical analysis if he doesn't understand professional football?
Zhang Yang kept talking seriously.

As the saying goes, '1 minute on stage, ten years off stage', he couldn't do tactical analysis to this level, but it was only after a few hours of research combined with the first half of the game.

Now comes in handy.

After explaining to the players the offensive style that Ipswich Town is good at, and making players pay attention to the position, Zhang Yang began to talk about defense, "Our formation needs to retreat a little bit, and the play in the first half was too open. Now We have a ball advantage, as long as the opponent is not in a hurry to attack, we are not in a hurry, this is our general style of play."

"I won't talk much about offense. You must pay attention to defense, especially the left and center. You must keep people at all times. The opponent's key players must also focus on defense."

Zhang Yang said something more.

The front is the key. Let the players understand the offensive methods that Ipswich Town is used to, which can help them defend more effectively. There will not be much to talk about later. The summary is just one meaning: strengthen defense.

As for how to strengthen the defense, it is up to the players to play freely on the field.

Zhang Yang has only been the head coach for one day.

He didn't even have time to understand the team's tactical details, and it was impossible for him to guide and arrange detailed defenses one by one.

Even so, everyone looked up to him.

In the past, everyone thought that Zhang Yang didn't understand tactics. He just had excellent game analysis skills. Now many people have changed their views.

He is also good at arranging tactics!
