Yale North Side Soccer Park Field, New Haven, Connecticut, USA

"Qu ......" With a long whistle from Coach Django, the first training session of the Yale women's football team ended the previous group training subjects, Mia's offensive group and Audrey's midfield group came to Jiang Yelin's back room group and front team together, the physical exertion of the girls is obviously not small, most of the players' training clothes are sweaty, the afternoon training has lasted almost two hours, the sunset is beginning to go west, although it is still early to go down, but everyone is obviously tired......

"Girls, today's training, I see everyone's performance, if you can't go all out in training, then there is no capital to go all out in the game, I'm glad that most of you new players have persevered, I hope you don't just come for the training allowance for each class, now, let's get into the team to fight against the game, Mia's attacking group is responsible for the attack, Audrey's midfield group is the midfield free man, helping the attacking group when attacking, and after the attack fails, as the attacking side of the counterattack......"

Jiang Yelin's arrangement was obviously a bit unexpected, Mia and Audrey glanced at each other, this novel confrontation method was difficult to understand for a while, could it be that three groups of 32 players played together? The attacking group is just that, and the midfield group has to change its role on the field at any time? How do you kick this?! What's more, there is no separate goalkeeper training in today's training, except for the main goalkeeper Audrey, the two substitute goalkeepers are integrated into the defensive group.

"Coach! How can this be combated? Winning or losing doesn't affect the training allowance, right? The elder sister of the twin sisters, Carrie Memphis, raised her hand boldly to ask questions, an afternoon of close training and ball grabbing practice, the relationship between the Memphis sisters and Coach Django in Carrie's opinion is definitely advancing by leaps and bounds, close physical contact is everywhere, although Coach Django's eyes are very positive, however, in the face of the twin sisters Carrie and Carlis, there is obviously no disgust, the difference is that Django, as a coach, has not blatantly eaten the tofu of his own players.

"It's very simple, take 5 minutes as a game, the offensive group and the midfield group attack together, the defensive group is responsible for the attack after the defensive group controls the ball, the offensive group is responsible for the defense, the defensive group is pressed forward to join the side of the midfield group attack, until the possession of the ball is exchanged, the losing team is punished for three laps, each winner adds a training allowance of 10 US dollars, two substitute goalkeepers are responsible for guarding the door of both sides, and the shot must be 3 meters outside the arc of the penalty area to be effective! Of course, you can take the ball all the way to the goal! Jiang Yelin's answer obviously boosted morale.

The girls are eager to try when they hear this, especially Mia's offensive group, which is almost the highest level of skill in the team at present, even if the three new players have improved their level after an afternoon of passing and receiving training, and are waiting to show a few hands on the court! The offensive group has 7 veteran players including Mia plus 3 new players, the midfield group has 5 veteran players including Audrey plus 3 new players, while the defensive group where Jiang Yelin himself sits has only 6 veteran players but as many as 8 new players!

"Coach, I think the 10 players in the offensive team can take on the offensive task alone, Audrey had better go to the goal for the defensive group, or let her midfield group join the defensive group to defend together, otherwise you won't be able to see enough!" Mia Suter is not too proud of what she said, the 7 veterans in the offensive group are the main midfielders of the Yale women's football team, and Jiang Yelin's defensive group, although there are 6 veteran players, but only two of the original main players, the remaining 4 are substitutes, not to mention, the 8 new reserve players are all based on poor foundation, and the new players who have a little foundation in football are obviously the 3 players in the offensive group and the midfield group.

"Yo, the offensive team is very angry, the girls of the defensive group, you say, will we be intimidated by the offensive team??!" Jiang Yelin laughed, and deliberately asked the girls in the defense group behind him, and the younger sister of the twins, Kale, puffed up her chest and said loudly, "Of course I'm not afraid, there are 14 of us, and they are only 18 people, we are not afraid of them!" Besides, we also have Coach Django to join us in the battle, right?! ”

The 14 players in the defense group have not seen much of Coach Django's skills in half an afternoon of training sessions, but the defensive concepts and principles instilled by Coach Django are obviously different from the understanding of ordinary people, for example, Coach Django calls man-to-man defense inefficient rookie entry tactics, although man-to-man is not tall and advanced enough, but for the beginner rookie defense, it is the easiest tactical play to learn and master, as long as you are stubbornly pestering your own players who are marking the defense, and do not let the opponent receive the ball happily, Don't let the opponent break through easily after the opponent receives the ball, grab the destruction at the moment of the opponent's pass, etc.!

"Coach Django, it seems that the new players in the defense team have high expectations for you, why don't you practice together?" Mia Suter narrowed her eyes, and glanced at the twin beauties who were almost holding the coach's arm around Jiang Yelin, obviously with ridicule and disdain in her tone, Jiang Yelin's football concept She and Audrey are still familiar with it, and it is too early to say what to admire, for example, it is just a matter of dividing football into an offensive group and a defensive group like a rugby, how can a team confrontation still attack and defend? Could the official tournament be such a bloated and monotonous staffing?

Even if it is a women's football player, 33 players on a field for offensive and defensive confrontation is still a bit exaggerated, and the relatively poorest players are concentrated in the defensive group commanded by Jiang Yelin, this year, amateur football is a good technique to kick the forward forward to score, good physical skills almost stay in the midfield defense, after all, for the defenders, often intercept a kick to destroy their basic duties, and for the offensive players, often need to control the ball with the ball to break through the pass and shoot, Therefore, it is not surprising that the technical debut is played in the front court!

"Well, as a coach, I also have the consciousness to go on the field and fight with the girls, I play the position of the free man behind the central defender, the 22nd goalkeeper, the remaining 13 players in the back group, divided into three groups, each group of 4 people, from the penalty area line to the front and back of the 8 meters apart! Remember, the first column defends the area, the 8 players in the second and third columns are man-to-man, and I am alone to fill in the position! Jiang Yelin clapped his hands to set up his defense group!

Here Mia and Audrey discussed, among the 16 players, except for the No. 32 substitute goalkeeper to guard the goal, Mia's 10 people were divided into two 3223 formations, and Audrey led the remaining 6 players to discharge the 42 formation in the back, with the whistle of the coach Django who was playing the free man opposite, this confrontation that seemed to outsiders to be a pure messy stew and ball grabbing game began! After kicking off in the middle circle, Mia rushed to the opposite side with the ball alone, not fast, but the ball was just right.

The 4 girls in the first row of the defensive group are playing zone defense, when Mia bursts over with the ball alone, the tall and long-arm twin Memphis sisters block up one left and one right, Mia is 174 cm tall, these two twin sisters are 175 cm, and the figure is so much stronger than Mia, the Memphis sisters, who are substitute players in the volleyball team, still have a little experience in the position, not to mention that in the half-day defense and interception training, Coach Django almost taught the sisters a lot of basic tricks.

For example, when a single person blocks the breakthrough of the opponent's striker, the most important thing is to keep a distance to prevent the opponent from breaking through after being thrown away by the opponent with a feint, when the two close the door and block, one person intercepts the front, and the other person stretches out his leg and stabs from the side, don't look at people when defending, watch the ball! Even if the defense fails, people can pass, but the ball must be poked or intercepted in a way, in order to increase the defensive area when defending, it is necessary to open your arms, on the one hand to maintain balance, on the other hand, to interfere with the opponent's line of sight, you can be regarded as playing basketball in the defensive penalty area, as long as the hand does not touch the ball, in most cases the effect is good.

Carrie and Carlis, the sisters who originally belonged to the volleyball women, really blocked Mia Suter's way, Mia changed the line sideways with the ball and then turned around to pull the ball, and shook her sister Carrie Memphis who screamed and pounced on her, but Carle Memphis's speed was faster than she imagined, and she pounced on it with a flying shovel like a fish leaping on the volleyball court, dribbling over people needs enough space and consistency of action, Mia can only stab the ball sideways in order not to lose the ball!

Calle's defense was effective, the ball could be passed, but people couldn't, not even Mia Suter, in fact, if Mia really wanted to pass, she could jump up and mix up an opponent's tackle foul and a free kick in frontcourt, but Mia didn't want to rely on the opponent's foul to win this confrontation, so she finally passed the ball to the left side of the court.

No. 9 Shanon in the offensive group received a pass from Mia on the left side of the court, and Shannon, who is 164 cm tall, was originally playing as a forward of the Yale women's football team, and belonged to the relatively good technical players in the team.

Shanon swung his legs and went forward, the ball passed the first column of the right side of the defense group, at this time the second column of the number 28 players pounced on the opposite side, Shanon with the ball is characterized by fast speed, if there is any deficiency is often unable to stop the foot and rush out of the sideline or the bottom line, now when the No. 28 substitute pounces on the team, Shanon goes forward, grabs the ball before the opponent intercepts it, and then Saya plays the speed advantage to chase, and does not even think about passing the ball back to Mia who is outflanked in the middle!

Don't say it, Shanon's speed is indeed faster than the No. 28 and No. 14 players in the defense group, but after she chased the ball from the baseline and stopped the ball, the two defensive team members on the 28th and 14th surrounded her in the corner area like kraft candy, and finally failed to pass the ball, so she had to mix a corner kick! The girls in the defense group cheered! This defense was clearly a success!

The coach said that losing possession is considered an offensive failure, isn't it?
