Chapter Eighty-Nine: False Nine

The new tactics paid off, and at full-time, Porto B won 7-0, scoring four goals in the second half under the dictates of the new tactics.

Dani was very satisfied, and although the opponent was a little less good, being able to score four goals in the second half proved that this tactic was desirable.

And Ke Yan also scored two goals and an assist, which made his reputation as a super substitute a lot more terrifying, just in the second half to achieve such a result, some players couldn't even score a goal in the whole game.

Ke Yan is still very excited, he has successfully silenced some people who criticize him for "bad skills, not suitable for playing", at least in this game, his performance is impeccable from any point of view, and there is no bad shadow in sight.

But he still wonders why such a tactic can produce such an effect, even if he came off the bench before, although he was able to score, but he never scored four goals, the strength of the opponent is a little worse, but at least it will not be worse than the league vice squad leader, Ke Yan didn't feel that the offense was so easy when he played against the league vice squad leader.

"It's called playing your number 9 as a number nine and a half." Dani explained to Ke Yan, "You like to drop back into your position and get the ball in midfield, so you can make the most of that and make you a pseudo-nine striker. ”

"What is a false number nine?" Ke Yan knew that the number 9 was usually the center of the team, but he had never heard of the concept of a false number nine striker.

"Don't you know?" Dani was a little confused, he thought that if Ke Yan loved football, he would at least know this concept.

Ke Yan shook his head, although he likes football and usually watches some games, but he has very little involvement in such professional terms and tactical research, and has never cared about these things.

"The pseudo-nine striker is a striker who often retreats to the midfield to get the ball, and the traditional sense of the center forward who stands on the pile output, the main task of the pseudo-nine is to interfere with the judgment of the opponent's backline, and try to play a gap in the hinterland of the opponent's midfield, so that the opponent's central defender is useless." Dani explained: "You've always liked to drop back, but I didn't look closely at the backline, and if I had done before, I would have found out as quickly as possible that after every drop you down, the centre-backs and midfielders don't know what to do with your pullbacks, and they're in a dilemma, and no matter what you choose, there's going to be quite a big hole, and that's how to cause a lot of problems at the back. ”

"So what should I do in the middle of the game now?" Ke Yan asked.

"Your job is to drop back to the midfield to get the ball, to act as the team's second playmaker in a part of the edge of the box, and your skills are not strong enough to allow you to easily pass two defenders after a half-court run, so your task at this stage is to drop back to interfere with the opposition's defense, so that the two wingers can go to the middle to fill the gaps in your attack, if you can choose to shoot, you will shoot, if you can't shoot, you will find a way to pass the key ball." "There are six games left in the season and I hope you can use those six games as training and work on your skills, and when you can easily break into the box against multiple players, then you will become a very strong false nine," said Dani. ”

Ke Yan nodded, and now he has finally found a new goal, that is, to work hard to become a powerful pseudo-nine striker.

"By the way, go back and watch more Messi's game videos, and analyze more of his playing ideas when he was in Barcelona during the Guardiola period, at that time, he was the most powerful pseudo-nine player in the world, of course, even now, although there are many tactics that use the pseudo-nine in world football, but Barcelona during the Guardiola period is undoubtedly the most powerful." Dani instructed Corian, "If there is anything you don't understand, ask Joseph, he is very good at it." ”

If there is no example to refer to, then Ke Yan may take a long time to explore by himself, but now that there is such a strong pseudo-nine in the world, why not let Ke Yan improve himself as soon as possible by learning from his experience?

Ke Yan nodded.

"Also, I'm not going to start you in the next game, our opponent in the next game is Portis, they are a bit strong, we lost to them in the first half of the game, I am still ready to use you as the last trump card to let you play." Dani said to Ke Yan.

Ke Yan knew that Dani was thinking about the team, and the last start did not receive good enough results, and in the face of such a crucial game, Dani certainly couldn't let himself start the game.

As for what he has to do, it is to continue training and integrate into the new tactical system as soon as possible.

"What's wrong with you? Anxious to analyze Messi's game footage as soon as he returns? Joseph was very strange that as soon as Ke Yan came back, he asked him to find Messi's game video to show him.

"Dani said let me learn from Messi's way of playing, and let me try to get as close to Messi's style as possible." "Today he told me that he wanted to define me as a pseudo-nine. ”

Joseph suddenly remembered why he was in such a hurry to bring Ke Yan to Portugal in the first place, he always felt that Ke Yan's style of play was like a person, but he couldn't remember it.

After Ke Yan reminded him of this, he remembered that Ke Yan's performance on the court was very similar to Messi.

Equally small in stature, but with great awareness and skilful footwork, one is usually able to use his agility to face multiple defenders and score goals.

Although there are many such players in the world, Joseph has always felt that from the perspective of liking to retreat his position, Ke Yan plays quite like Messi.

"I see." With a smile on his face, Joseph opened the computer in front of him and found a folder containing videos of Messi's game, as well as documents for various analyses.

These materials should be enough for Ke Yan to learn enough experience from Messi, a great player.

Seeing so much information, Ke Yan suddenly felt a little headache, how long had it been since he had to learn so many things, it was terrifying to think about it, he had even forgotten the method of sitting in the classroom and learning.

"But can I be a good false nine?" Ke Yan asked, "It is said that the pseudo-nine must be extremely talented in technology, fast, and smart. ”

"Yes." Joseph patted Ke Yan, "What you don't know is that you are very talented, you can get the opportunity to play in less than half a year after only being exposed to professional football, and you can also score goals with great efficiency, if this is not extremely talented, I don't know what talent is; And your speed is not slow, as long as you continue to train, you can definitely succeed! ”
