In Gijón in September, summer has not yet passed, and the warm sea breeze is blowing, even in the morning, it still makes people feel warm. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was silent in the early morning, and Leon arrived at the training base early, chatting with the janitor Vázquez, and taking Osgu around the training ground before heading to his office.

Leon watching the match footage, which is an edit of the match footage of Sporting Gijón's last four games.

After the start of the season, he used the skill of "Ironclad" to strengthen the team's defense.

Although these four games were all lost, the team's defense was better than one game.

Leon is glad that he has successfully invited the veteran Hierro to join the team, and Hierro's valuable experience is what the team desperately needs.

Pepe is still a little rough, but with Hierro by his side, he is working subtly.

Hierro is also happy to be a teacher, he taught Pepe by word and deed, Hierro once talked to Leon about Pepe, in the eyes of the former Real Madrid captain, Pepe's physical fitness is simply too good, 188cm tall, Pepe's bounce is amazing, his header ability is good, and his movements are decisive, he attacks fiercely, and at the same time he is not slow to turn, such a body is the most coveted by a defender.

Hierro is also very happy to have such an apprentice, in the game, Hierro is the backbone and leader of the defense, commanding Ruoding, in training, Hierro also showed up, constantly instilling valuable defensive experience in Pepe.

There is a saying that all defenders are abused by the opponent's forwards, and this abuse process is the experience and accumulation of defensive experience.

With Hierro as a teacher, although Pepe still needs to go through the grinding process of being abused, this is twice the result with half the effort, and Pepe only needs to be able to comprehend one-tenth of Hierro's lessons, and his growth will be faster.

***********

In midfield, Carlos has also improved rapidly, and throughout the summer, Carlos has continued to study the footage of Gattuso's game that Leon previously handed to him, and the AC Milan star is Carlos' current role model and target to catch up.

Moreover, in the midfield, there is a veteran Albertini, and Carlos also has an additional master, Albertini is teaching Carlos in his own way.

The team's defense is constantly improving, which can be seen from the match with Valencia, from 0-2 away to 1-2 at home, in the face of Valencia's attack group in La Liga, Sporting Gijón conceded four goals in two games, which is not excessive, you must know that the opponent is a champion team with a neat lineup and skilled playing style, and Sporting Gijón is still in the run-in period, this result is acceptable.

In the first round of La Liga, Sporting Gijón faced Mallorca, the players' first La Liga game, obviously too nervous, too excited, two conceded goals were conceded in the first ten minutes of the game, and then in the rest of the game, Mallorca did not score, which also illustrates the problem, Sporting Gijón, which has stabilized its position, is not afraid of facing a middle and lower La Liga team like Mallorca.

Needless to say about the match against Numancia, there were too many fortuitous factors in a penalty conceded.

Therefore, Li Ang is more assured of the team's defense.

Although he hopes that the team will play a smooth attack, Li Ang also knows that defense is the capital of a team based on the league, and only when defense reassures him can he have more attempts!

***********

Since the defense is okay for the time being, what's the problem?!

Offensive end!

In four games, Sporting Gijón has scored only one goal, and that speaks for itself!

So, today I studied the game video again, and the focus was to study the offensive end, find out the problem, and then be able to find a way to solve the problem.

The team is still grinding in, and it is not enough to get acquainted with Leon's Lion tactics now, but this is not a reason to score only one goal in four games.

Di Natale, Milito, Ribery, Mata, plus Albertini in the midfield, although Ribery and Mata are still very young and inexperienced, but such a configuration can be regarded as at least the middle level in La Liga.

So, where does the problem arise?!

Leon stared at the computer screen, his brow furrowed.

With his eyes squinted, he stared at the screen as if he were scanning, not missing a single detail.

Milito's performance cannot be said to be excellent, but, at least, qualified, his impact in the front, especially in the penalty area, has begun to show, Leon feels that he has made the right choice, as long as he plays a few more games to adapt to the La Liga game, Milito's power will completely burst out, the Argentine himself is trying to adapt to the team's tactics, to adapt to the style of La Liga.

Di Natale is still very active behind Milito, Di Natale has good skills at his feet, whether it is breaking through with the ball, passing, or shooting, he seems to be full of confidence.

These two people are at least normal, and the problem is not with the two of them.

So, what about Mata?

After the start of the new season, Leon let Mata's position retreat and appeared on the right side, Mata is the team's 'veteran', this sixteen-year-old little guy, has a thorough understanding of Leon's tactics, and is very spiritual in the side of the breakthrough, cross, and inward, and the performance is normal.

Mata's side is normal.

So next...... That's all that remains of Frank Ribery.

***********

Leon stared at the screen and at Ribery for a moment, finally getting him to the point.

The problem lies with Frank Ribery!

Leon's brow furrowed at first, then relaxed.

Leon saw it.

When the football was at Frank Ribery's feet, it was as if it were stuck to his feet.

The French low-league guy is really good at his feet and very fast, and he is already riding the ball on the left flank, which has already become a favorite sight for Sporting Gijón fans.

It was a match against Numancia, Ribery was dribbling the ball on the wing, and Numancia's first interceptor was like a stake that was passed by Ribery.

Then the second interceptor was also not able to stop Ribery's breakthrough.

At this time, at the top of the penalty area, Di Natale has run out of space, and if Ribery passes the ball at this time, Di Natale who receives the ball can create a threat whether it is a shot or an assist to Milito.

However, Ribery did not pass the ball and continued to dribble the ball, and then in the face of the Numancia player's reinforcement, he cut in laterally and opted to shoot, which was of decent quality and slightly over the crossbar......

However, if this guy had passed the ball earlier, it was clear that the attack was more threatening.

Leon continued.

It was another attack, as Juan Mata burst back to Albertini down the right flank, who showed his masterful playmaking and threat with a long ball and sent the ball straight down the right.

After Ribery received the ball, he chose to cut inside again, he dunked two defenders in a row, and then continued to break through with the ball, and then fell into the encirclement, at this time he chose to pass, at this time Milito, who received the ball, has also missed the best opportunity to attack: if Ribery receives the ball and chooses to plug the ball for the first time, Milito will get a great opportunity.

It's so lonely!

***********

Leon exhaled, he could see that Ribery was too sticky and too lonely, the football was at his feet, he would not pass it unless he had to, he would choose to go it alone, and his favorite thing was to break through the opponent and then look for a shot.

In Leon's offensive tactics, the pursuit is speed, whether it is the speed of pressing or the speed of defense, and the football is at the feet of Ribery, this guy seems to be showing off his footwork, but the person is uncomfortable, and then the team's offensive speed, just here for a moment, paused, even if Ribery then broke through with the ball at high speed, with this jam, it was already a little unconnected, and the opponent also took advantage of this opportunity to adjust the defense line as soon as possible when encircling Ribery.

Leon rubbed his temples, and Ribery, who he was most optimistic about, had become a problem for the team at the moment.

Ribery's breakthrough is indeed what Leon relies on, which is also the biggest characteristic of this player.

But here's the problem, Ribery needs to keep up with the whole team, fit in, and when it's time for him to break through and play his footballing talent, he can, but when it's time for Ribery to pass the ball to his teammates, or to cut through the air after passing, he can't do it!

Leon rubbed his temples, and he began to 'recall' Ribery's upbringing, what were the characteristics of this guy's playing when he first debuted?

Leon shook his head, he couldn't remember, when he began to pay attention to Ribery, it was in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, this young French international with a terrible scar on his face, made the world shine, his breakthrough on the side, passing, cutting inside, and sharing the ball, are full of praise, at that time Ribery was already the most eye-catching young star of the French national team.

It seems that the Ribery in 2006 didn't play so alone, and the cooperation with the French team was also very tacit, to be precise, it was quite good.

Well, although I don't know what was the situation of Ribery when he was in Metz, whether it was also a solo game at the beginning, or it began to slowly 'improve' under the 'tutelage' of Fernandes, the manager of the Metz team at the time.

The problem now is that he is the head coach of Ribery, he poached Ribery from the lower French league, and now, how to 'tune and coach' Ribery is his job Leon.

Leon thought about it, and he decided to 'go under the knife' with Ribery to calm down this hot-headed kid.

Of course, he also felt the need to talk to this kid.

Ribery, this is the most important of all the players under his command.

Among the current players in this team, if only future achievements and heights are mentioned, Ribery should be the first.

Such a good seedling, 'tuning-teaching', is even more interesting, Li Ang imagined that these young people in his own hands continue to grow, from small saplings to the world's amazing towering trees, he inexplicably looked forward to it. (To be continued.) )
