"Comrade Voroshilova, you are getting more and more beautiful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Igor looked at the mature and charming Katia and felt that this Komsomol flower was even more beautiful than before.

"Comrade, we've met before?" Katia did not recognize, and never recognized, this young-faced, plainly dressed former Komsomol cadre.

"Yes, I am also an alumnus of Moscow State University, one year higher than you, and I used to be in ...... ...... of the Communist Youth League Committee of the University Work inside the organization department. It was the first time for Igor to speak in front of such a beautiful, temperamental, and status Mao Mei, and it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous.

"Organization Department?" Katya thought for a moment and looked at the man's appearance carefully, "You are Comrade Asarov?" ”

"That's right, that's me. Soon after graduating from university, I was transferred to work in Rybinsk, and a year later I went to Novosibirsk to work as an assistant to Comrade Manturov. At that time, he was also the first secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee of the Western Siberian Territory.

After he became the secretary of the regional party committee, I was transferred to the Krasnoyay Territory, and soon back to Moscow, where I worked in the People's Commissariat of the Oil Industry. ”

"People's Commissariat of the Oil Industry?" Katya remembered what Manturov had said in the morning, "Vorodya said that if you ask him out today, in addition to wanting to watch football, you still have to discuss some important business.

I think it has something to do with the development of the Tyumen oil fields. ”

"Comrade Voroshilova, you are really beautiful and intelligent." In front of Manturov, an old friend, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Soviet Union, the inquisitive Igor praised his wife, consciously or unconsciously. Katia, who was appreciated, also returned the favor with a touching smile.

"Igor, what do you think the outcome of this match will be?"

"It's hard to say, although the overall performance of Spartak this year is good, and the overall strength is relatively good, but our last loss to CSKA will inevitably affect morale and form.

Dynamo Moscow beat Dynamo Kyiv 8-5 in their last game and beat Starkhanover (Shakhtar Donetsk) 5-2 in their last game. Now the stadium we are in is also Dynamo, and it is estimated that this game should end in a draw. ”

"I think so too," Manturov nodded and said: "Although Spartak is stronger, this is Dynamo's home stadium after all, and in the last game, Spartak's performance was not good, and his state and performance may not be able to reach the level it should be, while Dynamo's offensive power has improved a lot, so Spartak may not beat Dynamo as easily as before." ”

Before the start of the game, the stadium was already filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the Spartak fans seemed to be hostile to the fans of Dynamo and the internal army in the stadium, and when they shouted slogans, they vented these feelings.

Since this is the home stadium of Dynamo, Spartak has fewer fans than the opposing team, but they shout more slogans than Dynamo fans. This more or less, boosted the morale of the Spartak players.

"Yes, Dynamo's offensive strength has indeed strengthened, and Spartacus's defense has also been able to maintain a level level, from the previous two-back 2-3-5 formation to the current three-back 3-1-6 formation, in order to counter Dynamo's attack."

'I think a 4-3-3 formation is the best. Manturov looked at the attack-oriented football tactics of the time from a modern perspective: "Why do you need so many strikers? You should maintain the strength of the midfield and the backfield to defend effectively when the opponent is attacking, and when we are in possession, the left and right wing-backs, as well as the three midfielders, can actually participate in the attack. ”

“4-3-3?” Igor asked suspiciously: "I have never heard of such a formation, it must have been created by you." Volodya, I admit that you have shown excellent talents in many respects, and your mind is not ordinary, otherwise you would not have been able to become the deputy chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and receive the honor of a hero of socialist labor.

But when it comes to football, you're still a layman after all. Besides, I don't think it's advisable to have such a weak attack and only have three strikers. ”

At that time, football tactics were all about attack. In the 1930s and 40s, almost all teams had five strikers or six strikers. Among them, the 2-3-5 "pyramid formation", the Italians invented the 2-3-2-3 "organized formation", and the 3-2-5 "WM formation" commonly used by the British, generally only have 2-3 defenders, 1-3 midfielders, and the defense is relatively weak compared to today's football.

The familiar formations of 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 were only introduced in the 1970s. The 4-2-3-1 formation, which is commonly used in modern football, has only become popular after the 21st century.

"Compared to the 2-3-5 and 3-2-5 ones, the 4-3-3 attack is really a little weaker." Manturov analysed the merits of the 4-3-3 formation, drawing on his years of experience in playing football, "but when you defend, you have four defenders and one defensive midfielder to put in the defense, and it is difficult for the opponent to score.

After the defender grabs the ball, he can quickly pass it to the midfielder and then to the striker, which achieves a good counter-attack effect. Moreover, the rest of the midfielders, even the defenders on the left and right flanks, can also step forward to participate in the attack, and the attacking power is actually not far from those formations of five or six forwards, but the defensive and organizational skills are much better than those. ”

"Tell me about this, talk to Comrade Nikolai Starostin, one of the founders of the Spartak Moscow team and then president of the club."

"Where is Comrade Starostin?" Manturov asked solemnly.

"Are you really going to tell him this? You're going to kill this team. ”

At this moment, the man in the suit sitting in front of Manturov turned his head, he looked like a cadre of the Soviet government, and in fact Nikolai Starotin, the chairman of the Spartak Moscow football club.

"Comrade, I am Nikolai Starostin." Starostin looked at the young man who was holding the best hairy girl in his arms and said politely: "I think you are the deputy chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and the hero of socialist labor - Comrade Vladimir Manturov." ”

"Yes, how do you know my identity?" Manturov looked puzzled, not expecting that someone would guess his identity.

"I heard everything you said just now, and inadvertently learned your identity from the mouth of Comrade Asarov. And I saw your photo next to the Pravda article about the construction of the Ural steelmaking industry, and I saw that you yourself were exactly the same as Comrade Manturov in the photo, so I recognized you. ”
