Chapter 5: Intra-Team Match (1)

After two days of team adjustments, the head coach decided to organize an intra-team match to finalize the future main squad after consulting with the coaching staff, and as soon as possible to prepare for the first round of League One against Oldham United starting on August 5.

At 2 p.m., Wise arrived at the training ground with the coaching staff.

"Boys, after a few days of adjustment, it is estimated that you have also entered the initial state. This season, the team has added a lot of new teammates, and the quality is also uneven. But there is no difference between the main team and the substitute in me, I will only leave the opportunity to those who have the quality, the form, the momentum, and the upcoming intra-team game is a platform, and whoever performs well will start the next game. ”

"Don't worry, boss. I'm the 'Leeds United Magician', so just watch. I have to say that Haosen is really "brave and invincible", in Tang Fei's words, he will not die if he does not die.

"Well said, hopefully in a while, I can see Johnny's wonderful performance, if it doesn't make my eyes shine, hehe, you know." Wise said meaningfully.

"Uh." Hausen swiped his hand on his lips to indicate that his absolute silence was golden.

"Haha......" Everyone is happy with Haosen's embarrassment.

Wise then began to read the list of the two teams, "The yellow team plays a 442 formation, goalkeeper Casper Ankelgren; The back four from right to left are Frazer Richardson, Rui Marquis, Matt Heath, Ben Parker; The four midfielders from right to left are Andy Hughes, Jonathan Douglas, Sean Deley, Alan Thompson; The forwards are Torre, Andre Flo and Leon Constantine. ”

"The red team plays in a 451 formation, goalkeeper David Lucas; The back four are, in order, Trond Anderson, Don, Paul Huntington, and Meck Howard; The five midfielders are Sebastian Cairo, Felipe da Costa, Ian Westleck, Johnny Howson, David Plutton; The lone striker is Jermaine Beckford. ”

"Now the people who hear their names come and get their uniforms. The game starts after 10 minutes, and the game is 1 hour long, divided into two halves. With that, Wise beckoned the coaching staff to begin handing out the uniforms.

After the main team finished leading, under the leadership of captain Thompson, they had already formed a circle and began to discuss tactics; And Tang Fei obviously has no one to take the lead here, like a plate of loose sand, Tang Fei will not be beaten into a sieve when he sees that he will wait like this.

The more Tang Fei thought about it, the more anxious he became, and then he saw that the old team members still didn't say anything, so he had to speak: "Brothers, listen to me." Everyone raised their heads when they saw Tang Fei speak.

"To be honest, although Coach Wise said that there is no main force and substitutes, you can also see something from the current grouping, and it is obvious that our side is the substitute side."

After listening to Tang Fei's words, everyone didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing.

"But if you think about it for yourself, a lot of people are new to the team, so why haven't we been substitutes, don't you say?" Please don't want to be excited, Tang Fei decided to use the radical method to stimulate everyone.

"That's it, why?" Hausen couldn't help it first, "I'm called the 'wizard of Leeds United', why did I become a substitute." Not surprisingly, Howson was the first to jump out and speak everyone's mind. Of course, for someone's words that don't want Bilian in the second half, everyone is automatically blocked.

Tang Fei was secretly happy in his heart, Haosen was really a good brother, "You see the captain on the opposite side, they have begun to discuss tactics, obviously want to beat us to the bottom, you say that if we really lose the game, doesn't that just mean that we are not as good as the opposite, so we must take him down in this game, and let Coach Wise take a look and change his opinion of us." ”

"yes, so what do you say?" Obviously, everyone's fighting mood was ignited by Tang Fei.

"Everyone is working together, the coach must choose the main force to choose the best performance in this position, you say that if the defender always runs to the front to attack and rarely defend, even if he scores, can the coach let him start, right?"

"That's right, if anyone only cares about self-performance and dares to ignore the overall situation, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless after the game."

"That is, whoever dares to do this, I will kill him."

"Don, then tell me how we should play?"

Tang Fei saw that everyone was finally united, and said, "Since everyone believes in me, then I'm welcome." Where is the advantage we have compared with the opposite side, in the midfield, the yellow team has four people in the midfield, and there are only three people left after removing the main defensive Sean, what about us, there are 5 people, the game is 1 hour, we have enough physical strength, and we can run to death them. As the saying goes, the midfielder wins the world, as long as we hold the midfield, no matter how good they are. ”

"That's right, don't let the opponent easily control the ball in the midfield, whoever gets the ball will surround and suppress whom."

"Yes, when the time comes, our midfield five will stand in their positions, and whoever gets the ball will go around the two or three people."

"What about the offense?" After the defense was finished, everyone began to pay attention to the problem of attack.

"It's up to our black guys on the offensive side, it's up to you whether we can win or not, Beckford." Tang Fei said with a smile.

"Don, just say it." As soon as he heard that he was responsible for the whole team, Beckford was instantly excited.

"Well, I've observed it these days, if you want to score, the flaw can only be in Matt." Tang Fei smiled mysteriously and continued, "Your biggest characteristic you should know is your speed and explosiveness, in terms of these two points, you are definitely faster than the average Premier League player. ”

Hearing Tang Fei praise himself like this, Beckford smiled embarrassedly.

"If it's a frontal attack, Matt's defense is definitely the best in our pair, even in the Premier League, you can be a rotation player, but no one is perfect, Matt's speed, explosiveness, and turning flexibility are too poor, I think any 13 or 4-year-old player in our academy can run faster than him. So, as long as you keep pushing Matt, you will definitely be able to make a single sword, and whether you can get in depends on your archery skills. Remember not to slow down and rush to death. ”

"Well, don't worry, I won't slow down him." Beckford nodded firmly.

After talking about the midfield and attack, there is only the back line left, "Our back line has a difficult task this time, I just said, after the midfield encirclement, the big side will definitely transfer the ball in a large area, plus the two strikers of the specialty, especially Flo's header skills, so the two fullbacks do not prevent the pass, don't easily steal, prevent him from crossing." Finally, it was me and Paul. ”

"Well, you say, listen to what you just said makes sense, I must be unswerving." Paul said when he saw Tang Fei's eyes.

"That's good, the two strikers on the opposite side are Flo and Konstantin, Flo is good at heading, and our two of us are much better than me in heading skills, so Flo will be handed over to you, and I will deal with the rest." Tang Fei gave full play to his and Paul's strengths, using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses to defend. "Also, there are a few players on the opposite side who have strong individual strength, and they will definitely lose for a long time, so when you attack, you must remember to pass the ball behind you and play the speed advantage of Jermaine, so that we can win." In the end, Tang Fei did not forget to tell the offensive pass.

After a few minutes of discussion, I saw assistant coach Kitis start preparing for the game.

"Everyone, for the sake of dignity, come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!"

"Haha, it seems that the red team is very imposing." Kitis smiled at the sight of the RED team shouting.

"Beep", with a whistle, the game officially began. The yellow team attacked first, knocking the ball back to Douglas in midfield, and the two forwards quickly moved forward. Douglas saw that there was no good chance while dribbling the ball and split it to Richardson, who was plugged in later. The Yellow team was not in a hurry to attack at the beginning, and kept pouring their feet in their own half. Around the 15th minute of the game, Tang Fei already somewhat understood the opening tactics of the yellow team, which was to use the mentality of himself and others eager to win, and now he was obviously a little anxious on his side, after all, the ball was basically at the feet of the yellow team for the entire fifteen minutes.

Seeing that his tactics were successful, Thompson gestured to Sean and Jonathan, and the two nodded understandingly. The yellow team attacked, Sean Deley himself dribbled along the middle, and the red team finally attacked when they saw the opposite side, and the trio of Da Costa, Westlake and Howson all stepped forward to surround him. Tang Fei secretly said badly, it turned out that the three of them went up to encircle and suppress regardless of the front and back, and the middle lane was completely empty, and Douglas had quietly run behind the three, only to see a direct pass from Shaundeley, and the football passed directly through the gap between the three people. Douglas received the ball and went straight to the edge of the penalty area, and the middle was a flat horse. Tang Fei saw that there was no one in the middle, so he could only greet his teammate Paul, and then stubbornly went to block Douglas.

But in a few seconds, Tang Fei directly blocked the offensive line, Douglas saw Tang Fei step forward and tried to change the line to pass him, Tang Fei then used his skills again, a cross attempt to pass the ball, but unfortunately the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny. Douglas didn't expect that his line change was actually seen through, and he secretly said that he was not good, but fortunately he kept a hand, or he would have planted it on this kid. As soon as the thought turned, Douglas directly pulled the ball and passed it to his right, only to see that the right-back Frazer Richardson had also come up, Tang Fei couldn't pull it back when he made a move, so he could only watch Douglas bypass him, and a 3-on-2 situation was instantly formed in front of the goal. Richardson dribbled the ball with a sudden 45-degree long pass into the front of the penalty area, Flo a header crossed, Douglas received the ball unguarded, adjusted his posture and hit the goal directly, the ball went over Lucas's five fingers and drilled into the net.

After working hard for more than 20 minutes, the gate was breached, and the momentum of the red team was obviously lowered, Tang Fei saw that this was not good, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't worry, everyone play steadily, don't forget our tactics, we still have a chance." ”

The midfield trio was originally annoyed that the team was scored because of their own misposition, but when they heard Tang Fei's words, they ignited their fighting spirit again, and secretly said that they must be ashamed. In the next 10 minutes, the red team unswervingly implemented the pre-game tactics, especially the three in the middle were in an inverted triangle position every time they were pressing, and in the next 10 minutes, the yellow team launched several attacks to chase after the victory and were defended one by one. With the assistant coach's whistle, at the end of the first half, the yellow team led the red team 1:0, and after a 10-minute break, Tang Fei immediately gathered his teammates.
