Early the next morning, Qin Zheng and the members of the negotiating team came to the county seat of Shanghai, where they met and talked with Qing court officials in Shanghai at the Daotai Yamen in Shanghai. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe county seat of Shanghai is the area enclosed by Renmin Road and Zhonghua Road in the old time and space, and the famous Shanghai Old Town Temple is located in the northeast corner of the county seat of Shanghai. Wang Hailong took the members of the football team to the racecourse and began training.

When he came to the racetrack, Martinez was waiting here, and when he saw them coming, Martinez immediately asked someone to bring over a basket and said to Wang Hailong: "Mr. Wang, this is the 15 footballs promised to you yesterday, I will take you to the training ground first, and then take you to see the venue of the official game." ”

Wang Hailong nodded, and had to admit that the British did have some gentlemanly demeanor, of course, it was also possible that the British felt that the victory ticket was in their hands and disdained to use these small means. So he asked someone to carry the basket of footballs, and followed Martinez to a lawn close to the side of the road, which was roughly square, about 150 meters long, surrounded by a circle of wooden fences, and the ground was planted with grass, but it was leveled by hand, although it could not be compared with the artificial turf of the old time and space, but it was generally okay. And the pitch was marked, and the goal was installed. There is also a wooden room on the edge of the lawn, where you can put your belongings, change clothes and rest, and at noon you can also provide Chinese food at the Jockey Club building.

It used to be a place for horse skating and horse training in the racecourse, and now it is used as a training ground, and the wooden house next to the lawn is actually a stable. On the other side of the road, there is also a lawn where a group of people are playing, presumably by a British team.

At this time, Martinez said: "Mr. Wang, are you still satisfied with the conditions here?"

Wang Hailong said: "Very good, it's good to have such conditions to train, is your team training over there?"

Martinez nodded and said, "Yes, if Mr. Wang is interested, you can go over and have a look." ”

Wang Hailong originally wanted to go over to watch the training of the British team to understand the British technical and tactical play and strength, but after hearing Martinez say this, he also nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to see the game venue first." Then he told the team members to hurry up and change their clothes and conduct training. He went with Martinez to see the venue of the official competition.

The venue for the official game is the official horse racing venue, and at this time, the boundary, centerline, and penalty area of the stadium have been demarcated, and the goals have been erected at both ends. On one side of the course are the original stands for watching horse races, while temporary stands are being erected on the other three sides.

Wang Hailong turned around on the field, stepped on the grass, and looked at the two goals, the general size is about the same as the old time and space court, and the hardness of the field is okay, but the grass is a little sparse, after all, horse racing competitions are often held here, but you can still do tackles on this field.

After about half an hour, Wang Hailong basically walked through the stadium and knew his heart, so he left with Martinez, but did not return to his own training ground, but first went to the training ground of the British team to watch their training. Martinez really didn't stop him, but after coming to his training ground, just like Wang Hailong, he went to the training ground to direct the players' training.

When Wang Hailong came to the side of the field, he didn't know what kind of training the British team was doing, but he saw that in the court on one side, there were more than ten players, wearing red and white jerseys, Wang Hailong carefully observed, there were slightly more players in red, about six or seven, and there were only four or five players in white, all concentrated in the area around the front of the penalty area. On the other side of the court, I saw a player kick the ball over, players from both sides immediately rushed up, a tall red player at the top of the arc of the penalty area first scramble for a header, another red player in the left corner of the penalty area grabbed a penalty, raised his foot to shoot, kicked the ball into the goal. Then, on the other side of the court, another big kick came over, and the two sides fought again.

Wang Hailong then understood, this is probably in the offensive and defensive training, the red clothes are the attackers, the white clothes are the defenders, the basic routine is to get the ball high in the backfield, this side fights for the top, grabs the landing point, hits the goal, and the defender is the destruction of efforts, the whole tactic is very simple, belongs to the typical British long pass rushing and hanging play. However, Wang Hailong knows that in the old time and space, British teams have basically given up this set of tactics and switched to technical flow, and only Ireland and Norway are still using this set of play.

However, this British team has a reason for this style of play, because the British players are tall, generally above 1.80 meters tall, and at least 6, The height of the 7 players is about 1.90 meters, and two of them should be close to 1.95 meters in height, which also caused some worries about Wang Hailong, because there are only 12 players in the crosser team who are above 1.80 meters tall, but after deducting 3 goalkeepers, only 9 of the other 19 players are more than 1.80 meters tall, and the tallest in the team is the goalkeeper Chen Heng, 1.87 meters.

At this time, Martinez came to the field and recruited all the players for team confrontation training. In fact, Martinez's arrangement was intended to demonstrate against Wang Hailong, and he had seen it clearly when he greeted Wang Hailong and his party just now, and the height of overseas Chinese players was obviously much lower than that of this team, so Martinez was even more confident. Although he also knew that Wang Hailong came to watch the team's training to spy on the team's strength, he didn't care, after all, the difference in strength was too great, let them see what it could do, and at the same time, Martinez also wanted to use the team to fight the training, show his strong strength, and put more pressure on the other party.

After the start of the British team's team confrontation training, the players on both sides were basically concentrated near the two penalty areas, and in the area around the center circle, there were almost no people, as if the two groups of teams only had forwards and backs, and there were no midfielders, which can be described as distinct. Moreover, the two teams have more offensive players than defenders, Wang Hailong paid attention to the count, the red team is the "three seven" formation, and the white team is the "four six" formation.

The basic tactics of both teams are the same, that is, to kick the ball from the back, kick the ball to the front, let the players in the front court fight for the top and hit the goal desperately, rarely play the ground ball, and almost no attack is organized through the midfield. And the players in charge of the offense basically don't defend in the backcourt, that is, they wait in front of the back to kick the ball over, and the players in the backcourt basically don't go forward to assist, and after grabbing the ball, they will drive to the front court with a big foot. As a result, you can see the ball flying around in the air, sometimes by players from both sides of the two sides for more than ten consecutive times without landing, and it seems that it stays in the air more than on the ground.

After watching it for about half an hour, the British team is basically this set of play, Wang Hailong's heart also has a bottom, which is basically the same as the information he has, the football tactics of this era have to be primitive, basically this is how to grab the two ends and put them in the middle, and advocate offense, so there are more offensive players than defense, and there is basically no concept of midfield.

Although Wang Hailong also admits that the height, speed, strength, and heading ability of this British team are very good even in the old time and space, but the reason why football is called football is mainly to kick with feet rather than overhead, so to deal with such a simple and direct way of playing, the development of football in the old time and space has provided enough tactics to deal with, that is, to control the midfield. Although the football tactical formations in the old time and space are colorful and diverse, the biggest feature is that almost eighty percent of the tactics revolve around the midfield, so whether or not you can control the midfield is Guan Jian, who won the football game in the old time and space, and the superstars from the midfield are far more than the forwards and defenders.

After clarifying the tactical strength of the British team, Wang Hailong basically had a score in his heart, so he stopped watching it and turned around and returned to his training ground. At this time, the players of the Traveler have changed their jerseys and are training hard. The average player is divided into five groups and is playing a one-to-three pass drill, while the three goalkeepers shoot each other in the penalty area on one side.

These are the basic training of the team, and now the main thing is to get the players familiar with the ball nature of football in this era as soon as possible.

Wang Hailong came to a group and asked, "How is football in this era?"

Midfielder Wang Xiaoyu said: "Captain, the elasticity of this ball is too poor, it can be said that there is no elasticity at all, I am really not used to it." As he spoke, he also threw the ball vertically on the ground with demonstrative force, and sure enough, the football only bounced up to a dozen centimeters high, Wang Xiaoyu said: "Captain, look, how to kick this ball, let's change our ball." ”

Wang Xiaoyu is a team leader of the Yueyang ship's gun team, and is also the midfield core of the Yueyang ship team, the player with the best footwork, and can play in the front waist and back waist two positions, of course, it is also the player that Wang Hailong relies on in this game, and it is precisely because of Wang Xiaoyu's good footwork that he is more sensitive to the ball, and he is used to playing inflatable football in the old time and space, and he is very unaccustomed to playing football in this era.

And hearing him say this, Wang Hailong glared, and said: "Change our ball, isn't that bullying the British? Even if you win, there is nothing to be proud of, the British can use this kind of ball, why can't we use it, if you don't get used to it, give me more practice, and you will naturally get used to it, usually you kid is the trump card of our Yueyang ship, how can Guan Jian's time wilt, if you feel that you can't admit it, then say it directly, Lao Tzu immediately change someone else, and don't make excuses." ”

Being scolded by Wang Hailong, Wang Xiaoyu was also anxious, and said: "Captain, don't you know who my old Wang is? Don't dare to say anything else, when did I shrug off the football, I just said that, isn't it so breakable? What's the big deal, you just look at me." ”

Wang Hailong nodded and said: "This is like a soldier on our Yueyang ship, if I want to say that this ball is not good, then don't play, if you want to play, don't say that this ball is not good." ”
