Parma, Italy, the small town of Clezio. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the training base of Parma, about 10 km from Parma. Why is it so far away? That's because the Parramat group, which was the last president of Parma, was established here, so Parma's training base is here. Even after the new president, Giraldi, took office, he still used it as a training base for Parma.

Marino is changing the team's formation and tactics, in his opinion, 4-2-3-1 is not his first choice, he wants to try 4-3-1-2! The "1" in his eyes is Giovinco, and the two forwards are Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, Li Mu's position is on the left, and he retreats a little back to be a shadow striker; Zhang Shujie is not a sudden striker, the position is slightly to the right. Marino wouldn't be stupid enough to put Zhang Shujie in the penalty area.

However, this formation is just a backup, he still likes 4-3-3, although he lost Palowski, but the 4-3-3 formation has changed a lot, and it is completely possible to put a bridgehead on the center forward position, and the main firepower points are placed on both sides, which is the mainstream idea of the 4-3-3 formation in world football at present.

Of course, if you have a player like Messi, you don't need a real center forward in this formation, but there is obviously no such person in the Parma team.

"Hernan (Crespo), your priority is to get the attention of the opposing defenders for Zhang and Lee and tear up space for them. You're in the middle of the pitch and you're going to be the most defended and the most dangerous place, right in front of the goal, and it's a key area for any team. So your existence is mainly to attract firepower. Marino explained his tactical arrangements for Crespo on the training ground, and judging by this, Marino has plans to send the veteran on the field in the next round.

Crespo nodded, "Got it." ”

Now Crespo has been reduced to being cannon fodder for the two juniors. I think how tough the young Crespo was in the center forward position, but the years are not forgiving, and the thirty-five-year-old Crespo has long lost his peak style. This is still in Parma, he still has a chance to play, and in a big team, he may not even be qualified to be cannon fodder.

Time is so unforgiving.

"Our offensive routine is to cut in from two ways, Zhang is the first firepower point, and Li is the second firepower point. Marino gestured and looked at Giovinco: "Once the team attacks, you have to insert from the middle at any time to support the forwards. The team's three firepower points are on the three of you. ”

The three nodded: "Understood." ”

"Good. In attack, the two full-backs have to be plugged in as well, and if you can't break through on either side or in the middle, you have to play the ball from the wings. You may think it's a simple way to play, but it's such a simple way to play that almost every team will use it. ”

Zhang Shujie suddenly remembered the "tactics" of the Chinese team, which was also what Marino said: cross from the bottom! But the Chinese team is different from the world's strongest teams. The awareness and footwork of the Chinese players are really not flattering, and the bottom cross is not just about handing the ball to the wide player, and then passing it to the penalty area, the whole process is actually quite technical.

The running, pulling, and cooperating of the middle players, after leading the opponent's defensive focus to the middle, divide the ball to the side, so that the offense will cause the greatest pressure on the opponent's defense. And the bottom cross does not necessarily have to be passed in front of goal, but to the back post or near the penalty area, which is also a way of attacking. The Chinese players obviously can't do it, and will almost blindly pass the penalty area. At present, only Zhao Wenkang can understand the essence of this tactic, but he can't do it all the time, and even he can't be fully competent, let alone the players in the domestic league.

Therefore, if Chinese football wants to have a breakthrough change, it is not enough to rely on only a few players, from top to bottom, inside and out, it must be completely renovated.

Marino said everything that had to be said, and the team members worked in groups to conduct tactical drills according to his instructions. Zhang Shujie saw that Strassell opposite was a little sullen, and he also smiled bitterly in his heart. Since Marino came, there has been no place for Strassell in any kind of tactic.

If this continues, the black lad will probably be in Palma for a short time.

"Zhang, what are you looking at?" Morrone walked over to Zhang Shujie's side.

"Nothing. ”

"You're worried about Rodney, aren't you?"

Zhang Shujie smiled and did not deny it.

Morrone sighed slightly: "I thought at first that Rodney would be like you this season, and get some reuse, but ......"

Zhang Shujie said helplessly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, there is no way, this is professional football." ”

Morrone nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, "Okay, let's train." ”

The morning was mainly a tactical drill, and in today's internal confrontation, Li Mu's goals were the same as Zhang Shujie's, and they were the two people with the most goals, followed by Qiao Wenke. Although Crespo did not score, he relied on his rich experience in Serie A for many years to act as a qualified bridgehead, covering Zhang Shujie and Li Mu well.

Marino was satisfied. It seems that Palowski's absence will not bring too many disadvantages to the team for the time being. As long as Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, and Qiao Wenke play well, Parma's attack power is still very impressive.

But Marino has one area that worries him, and that is the backline, which has not conceded a goal in two consecutive games, which does not show how solid the defense is. In fact, whether it was against Brescia or Catania, Parma's backline was in danger on a couple of occasions and almost conceded a goal. If it weren't for God forbid, and the strength of these two opponents was too weak, Parma would not have conceded a single goal.

The defensive problems must be improved, otherwise Parma will definitely concede goals against opponents of equal quality, and if they face strong teams, they may be stabbed into a hornet's nest. Those words "offense is the best defense" are only suitable for super giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Moreover, even Barcelona and Real Madrid have top defenders in the team.

In the afternoon, Marino arranged physical training, which he stressed in the early days of his tenure. Physical fitness must be strengthened, in his eyes, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are still a little thin, similar to C. Ronaldo during Manchester United, and then look at the current C. Ronaldo, which is already the body of a standard football player.

In the days that followed, Marino also practiced free kicks within the team. No one in the team is particularly good at free-kicks, but there is one person who still catches his eye, and that person is Zhang Shujie.

Zhang Shujie's free-kick attack was not very good, but Marino found that the striker's posture at that moment when shooting from a free kick was the most standard in the team. Free kicks are very particular, you can't just kick a goal at the goal, even if you score a free kick, it's luck.

The free kick at a distance of about 25 meters from the goal was Zhang Shujie's best play, and it was also the most shot within the goal frame. Zhang Shujie's free kick has a large arc and a fast sinking speed, and the position of 25 meters is the most ideal. With the way he plays, if you get too close, you can't draw a full arc, and if you go too far, the ball will go around the outside of the baseline. Marino is a little strange, it seems that Zhang Shujie is rarely seen practicing free kicks, but it seems that he has some roots.

Of course, Marino didn't know that in the past, when he was young, Zhang Shujie often practiced free kicks, and he practiced a lot in the second team of Parma. Manzo knew these things, because he had asked Zhang Shujie, and Zhang Shujie told Manzo some things about his past. Guidolin also knows something, in the first leg of last season's game with Roma, he asked Zhang Shujie to take a free kick, but Zhang Shujie did not score. Later, Guidolin did not give him the responsibility of taking free kicks, after all, Zhang Shujie was not the absolute main force at that time, but when he was on the field, he would occasionally let him kick.

All in all, Zhang Shujie, who was under Guidolin, was not the first choice for free-kicks.

Although these trainings did not make him a free-kick master, they did give him a good foundation. Beckham also practiced every day as a teenager, which made him the king of free kicks later.

Looking at the Chinese striker on the training ground, Marino was silent.

After the training, he walked to Zhang Shujie's side and said with a smile: "Practice more free kicks when you have time, you seem to have a foundation, but you only have a foundation." ”

The sound outside of this is that Zhang Shujie is far from reaching the level of "free kick master".

After Marino finished speaking, he turned his head and left, Zhang Shujie was stunned, but quickly understood what the coach meant.

A manager would never say such a thing to a player alone for no reason, which must have another meaning. However, there are some things that cannot be said too thoroughly, and it is up to the players themselves to understand.

So the next day, after finishing the team's training, Marino saw that Zhang Shujie had not left.

The 19-year-old striker from China placed the ball in front of the wooden wall again and again, and kept shooting from a distance of about 25 miles from the goal. Some of the balls were of good quality, some of them were good enough to fly into outer space, and some of them didn't even go around the human wall, but he was not discouraged and continued to practice.

Manzo asked behind Marino, "Why?

Marino laughed, "Well, let's go." With that, he walked out of the Clezio training base with all the smiles on his face.

Manzo glanced at Zhang Shujie in front of the wooden human wall, nodded approvingly, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the training ground.

Zhang Shujie doesn't know how long he's been practicing, and there are balls all over the ground. He felt tired, so he sat down on the floor and rested. He looked up at the sky, it was a little late, and he planned to practice for a while and go home.

"Jie Zai, why are you still on the court so late?" Li Mu didn't know when he appeared on the training ground.

Zhang Shujie looked back at him: "I'm practicing free kick shooting." Why did you get here?"

"I saw that you hadn't been back for a long time, so I came to look for you. Li Mu said and approached Zhang Shujie: "Practice so hard, the head coach wants you to take a free kick?"

"That's not true, it's just to let me practice more. Zhang Shujie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Li Mu picked up a ball with one kick, tossed it twice, and played a few tricks: "How long are you going to practice? It's getting dark." ”

"Then how about practicing until dark and then going back?"

"It's dark...... Li Mu looked at the sky and said contemplatively: "Do you remember that when we were in junior high school before, we practiced almost every night until dark. ”

Of course, I remember that after I went back, I was sweating profusely, and sometimes I accidentally injured myself, and I was inevitably scolded by my mother. ”

'It was a while when we were working on the basics and shooting between passing and receiving the ball. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the madness and persistence I had back then, I don't think we would be standing here now. ”

Zhang Shujie stepped on the ball on the soles of his feet and asked, "So, what do you want to express now?"

Li Mu smiled and hooked the ball into his hand: "If you want to practice until dark, I will accompany you to practice until dark, okay?"

"Someone is a companion, and you can't ask for it!"

"Then let's punish each person once, and whoever gets the most in. ”

"Then you won't be able to beat me. ”

"Try it first, how will you know if you don't try it. ”

……

In the near future, Li Mu recalled this day, he said that he did not play free kicks well before, and he was not as good as Zhang Shujie in terms of posture and skills, but after this day's practice, he began to study free kick techniques and practiced diligently. If that decision hadn't been made at the training base at the time, he would have scored at least three or five fewer goals per season.

At the setting sun, at the Clezio training base, two teenagers from China took turns placing the ball in front of the wooden human wall and kicking the ball into the goal 25 meters away again and again......
