When Sun Yiming came back from the draw site, he immediately anxious all the players of the team and held a tactical meeting behind closed doors.

He wants to give his team an idea of what the opponents they are about to face.

This is where the value of his previous preparations comes in.

After all, he didn't know who he would be up against until the draw came out. So he gathered some intelligence information in advance about the opponents he thought he might encounter in the match.

This includes Dongchuan Middle School.

Including Dongchuan Middle School actually does not prove Sun Yiming's wisdom and martial arts.

Because many coaches of teams like him who participate in national competitions will do this.

In fact, before the national competition began, when Dongchuan Middle School stood out from the Andong Provincial Qualifiers, it had already attracted a lot of attention.

In particular, those teams that regard Dongchuan Middle School as a competitor are unlikely to sit idly by, and at least they have to gather relevant information.

At this time, Dongchuan Middle School may be grateful to them for complaining many times about the backward level of reporting of the "Anton Cup".

Because the Andong Cup has not been televised so far, it is basically difficult for teams in other provinces to obtain valuable things if they want to obtain information about Dongchuan Middle School in the Andong Cup.

Looking for it, the post on the post bar is the most detailed.

That's enough for the other teams, because this is the most important game in the entire Anton Cup, and it can be said that just one game in this Anton Cup is enough.

Dongchuan Middle School's rival Jiaxiang High School must use all its strength and never hold back, so just watching this game should be able to understand Dongchuan Middle School's performance in the Anton Cup.

So what can they see from this post?

Hulay scored three goals and completed his hat-trick.

Combined with Hu Lai's final result as the top scorer in the Anton Cup, everyone knows that the offensive arrow of Dongchuan Middle School is Hu Lai.

If we relate to the performance of Dongchuan Middle School in the last national competition, we will be more and more sure of this conclusion.

After all, in the last national competition, Hulai became the team's second leading scorer with three goals.

So after the first scorer Luo Kai left, it was only natural that he would become the team's main scorer.

"But is that all there is to it?" Sun Yiming looked at his players and asked.

No one answered him.

Because the players' thinking is indeed like this, since Hulai is the team's top scorer and has performed well against Jiaxiang High School, why is he not the core of the team?

"Let an opportunist be the core? I'm sure the head coach of Dongchuan Middle School wouldn't be so stupid. On the contrary, not only is he not stupid, but he is also very smart. Sun Yiming saw that the team members didn't know why, and began to explain to them.

"It may seem like he's putting a striker at the core, but in reality this opportunist is just a façade. The purpose is to obscure their true core. So who is the real core of Dongchuan Middle School? It's their midfield playmaker, No. 10 Xia Xiaoyu. ”

Sun Yiming is not talking nonsense, he has studied the game data of Dongchuan Middle School - although there is no video data for the Anton Cup, there is still a simple battle report article after each game, which will mark the list of appearances of both sides in each game, the list of substitutions, and the names of goalscorers and assisters.

"Hulai scored eleven goals in this qualifier and was the top scorer in the Anton Cup. And what about Xia Xiaoyu? He provided as many as 10 assists in this qualifier. You must know that Dongchuan Middle School only scored a total of 20 goals in this qualifier, and Xia Xiaoyu's assists alone accounted for half of this number. What does this mean? ”

Sun Yiming threw questions to the players again.

Someone in the team finally raised their hands this time, and it was the captain of the team, Song Yu, the back.

"Song Yu, you say." Sun Yiming called his name.

"Although Hulai is the top scorer, it just means that he is the arrowhead of Dongchuan Middle School. But the real heart of this team should be their number 10, and without him constantly feeding shells in midfield, Hulay would not have scored so many goals. And as long as Xia Xiaoyu is organized in the midfield, then no matter who is replaced, he can become the top scorer. Song Yu said.

"Captain, why are you so tactful?" Someone in the team shouted, "So you can be the top scorer if you change a pig, right?" ”

This caused the players in the room to burst into laughter.

Song Yu refuted helplessly: "I didn't mean that......"

Sun Yiming raised his hand to stop everyone's coaxing, looked at Song Yu and nodded with satisfaction: "Song Yu is right, whoever masters the midfield will win the game." With the importance that today's football attaches to the midfield, Xia Xiaoyu, who can deliver ten assists, is the true core of this team! But relying on Xia Xiaoyu alone is not enough. Dongchuan Middle School's forward partner has nothing to say, a high school striker, and an opportunist cruising around him. But their midfield configuration is very particular. Although Xia Xiaoyu has excellent passing ability, his body is thin and his confrontation ability is not very good, so he is easy to target, but why can he still send ten assists? ”

A group of people looked at each other, and this time Song Yu didn't raise his hand to answer the question.

Sun Yiming didn't wait for the players to answer, but gave his own explanation: "The head coach of Dongchuan Middle School matched Xia Xiaoyu with a 'bodyguard', which is their back Chen Rui. I don't know much about Chen Rui. But it can also be seen from the only information that this person is a midfielder who focuses on defense, and his presence solves Xia Xiaoyu's worries and clears the battlefield for him...... It's also a classic midfielder, with a playmaker and a sapper. ”

I have to say that Sun Yiming was able to build the Capital People's Middle School into a traditional strong team in the national competition, and he was by no means incompetent.

Although I haven't watched the video of the Dongchuan Middle School football team in this Andong Cup, just with some clues, I can speculate about the midfield operation mode of Dongchuan Middle School.

"When we understand the real strengths of Dongchuan Middle School, there is actually nothing to worry about." Speaking of this, Sun Yiming showed a confident smile. "If you compete in the midfield, we still have this confidence in our people's middle school."

Sun Yiming didn't brag, and the midfield of the Capital People's High School was their advantage.

As he said this, everyone in the team cast their eyes on the four of them.

In addition to the captain Song Yu, there are also the people who just coaxed that "pigs can be the best shooters", as well as the other two people beside him.

They are Wang Xun, Zhang Xi and Yan Zheng, and like Song Yu, they are all midfielders.

They also all noticed the gazes of their teammates, and Wang Xun whistled: "Don't worry, coach." I promise that Xia Xiaoyu will go and never return. ”

The three of them and the captain Song Yu are classmates, and they have been playing together since their first year of high school until their third year of high school.

After three years of training and competition, they have a tacit understanding with each other.

And this year, these four midfielders will also participate in the national tournament for the last time.

Whether it is Sun Yiming, the head coach, or the players of Renmin Middle School, or the supporters of the football team of Renmin Middle School, they all hope that Song Yu and their "Four Knights of the White Night" can achieve a breakthrough in this last national competition, reach the finals of the national competition, and even compete for the championship.

"'Four Horsemen of the White Night'?" Hulay was surprised when he first heard this title.

"Refers to the four midfielders of the People's Middle School, the four of them are classmates from the beginning of high school to the third year of high school, and the relationship is very good, not the kind of brothers who are better than brothers." Mao Xiao explained to Hu Lai in a whisper.

At this time, they were in the tactical meeting of Dongchuan Middle School.

As soon as Li Ziqiang also returned from the draw site, he immediately held a tactical meeting.

“…… Song Yu is the core of their midfield, both offensive and defensive, and the position is a midfielder, but he is responsible for organizing the attack. "Li Ziqiang is introducing the players of Renmin Middle School.

Unlike Sun Yiming's research on Dongchuan Middle School, which has little information, Renmin Middle School is a traditional strong team in the national competition, so the relevant intelligence information is very easy to collect, and there are even video recordings of the competition in previous national competitions.

"Song Yu is the core of the People's Middle School, he is responsible for connecting the attack and defense of the whole team in the position of the back midfield, but in terms of the statistics of goals and assists, he is actually inconspicuous, even mediocre. But his importance is not reflected by such simple data. Li Ziqiang continued. It can be said that the People's Middle School with him and without him are completely two teams. ”

"Beside Song Yu, it was Wang Xun who played with him in the back, he was tall, but he was not the kind of pure defensive engineer who only knew how to steal. Of course, that's not to say that he doesn't defend well, on the contrary, he defends well. It's just that in addition to defense, he can also organize attacks, many times, the offense of the People's Middle School is not actually initiated by Song Yu, it is from his back, especially when he breaks the ball in the midfield, he can immediately send the football to a dangerous place and pass it to the right person. So after we have conceded a goal, we have to concentrate and play with the spirit of 12 points to prevent them from sending the football directly to our hinterland. ”

"In front of Song Yu and Wang Xun, one left and one right are Zhang Xi and Yan Zheng, and Zhang Xi on the left is good at dribbling and breaking through, and his skills at his feet are very good. Yan Zheng on the right is known for his strong long-range shots, often cruising from the side to the middle, and then receiving a pass from his teammates and shooting vigorously directly outside the penalty area. In the opening game of the last national competition, the People's Middle School used Yan Zheng's long-range shot to open the scoring. In response to this, our midfielders and backline need to pay special attention to keep the formation compact and never give the opposition a chance to get off the ground unmarked at the edge of the box. ”

Hearing the head coach say this, Hulai remembered that the opening match of the last national competition was a match between the People's High School and the Garden High School in the host capital. As a result, the People's Middle School defeated the opponent 3:1 in front of the elders in his hometown, so that the national competition journey of Huayuan Middle School was just begun.

The painful appearance of the Garden High School players after being eliminated at that time deeply irritated Hulai.

A year later, the opponent in the first round of the People's Middle School was changed from Huayuan High School to their Dongchuan Middle School, and Hu Lai was even more reluctant to be sent home by the People's Middle School in advance.
