() As the Blues were gearing up for battle, a thin figure wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses hurried out of Heathrow Airport with a freshly bought newspaper in his hand.

"Arsenal are not going to be in a good situation next!" In the taxi, Shen Xiangfu used his broken English and his own understanding to interpret the above content.

"On 24 March, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final away to Chelsea; On March 27, the Premier League played at home against Manchester United; On April 4, FA Cup semi-finals with Manchester United; 7 April, home to the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Chelsea; On April 10, the Premier League played Liverpool at home; On April 12, the Premier League played Newcastle away. ”

"Good guys, these six games are going to be won, the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, and the treble are just around the corner! But if you lose, hehe, it is estimated that the four major will be empty, and the hands will be empty! ”

Who would have thought that Shen Xiangfu, who was originally holding meetings and training in China, dealing with the media on behalf of the Football Association, and apologizing to the fans, would come to London.

"Heh, what am I doing here? A team like Arsenal still needs me to worry about? I haven't landed with the Olympics yet! Shen Xiangfu sighed. He took the address and looked at it, and asked in broken English, "Master, how long is it until Stamford Bridge?" ”

"20 minutes." Shen Xiangfu only understood this one word.

At Stamford Bridge, more and more team-mates are joining in the 'goalkeeping practice' between Tang Wu and Frank Lampard. Like "Lightning", a new and effective way of attacking is always welcomed by everyone.

Glen Johnson and Duff both tried their hand at midfield, but they either sent the ball flying or made too many adjustments. Few have come close to perfection in physical, technical and archery like Frank Lampard.

After Frank Lampard hit the net five times in a row, Glen Johnson finally gave up on what seemed like an easy way to score.

"It's too hard! To pass the ball so far away, it takes a lot of effort just to stop the ball at your feet, let alone turn around and shoot directly! ”

Glen Johnson was frustrated, he had just tried, and five shots were missed.

"What should I do?" Makelle came to Tang Wu's side and asked.

The swarthy French midfielder is Tang Wu's favorite teammate, and there is no one! He is highly skilled defensively and tireless. After adapting to the Premier League for half a year, he has become more and more tough in terms of playing style. And most importantly, he is the only defender on the team who does not hesitate to execute Tang Wu's orders immediately.

With Makelele in his presence, Tang Wu is like having an extra flexible arm that can be extended, ready to stifle the opponent's attack out of the range of threatening shots.

"Claude, your main task is to defend." Tang Wu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go and make it a little more difficult for Frank, uh... Don't show some strength, just interfere a little. ”

"Okay!" Makelele said yes dryly, heading towards Lampard.

Halfway through, I don't know what I remembered. The French defender turned his head, showed two rows of white teeth, and smiled at Tang Wu: "I have a hunch that I think you are better than Igor." ”

"Thank you Claude!" When faced with the praise of foreigners, Tang Wu never refused, "I think I will surpass him one day!" ”

As soon as Claude Makelele joined the game, Lampard immediately became unable to catch the ball, let alone shoot.

The reason is simple, in the actual game against the goalkeeper's big foot, there will definitely be a defender to follow up and win the top. Even if you pass accurately and suddenly, the opposing defenders will get close to your body as soon as you touch the ball, and will not let you turn easily.

Seeing this, Tang Wu decisively called Glenn Johnson over and asked him to act as a "human pillar", the kind that can only pass and receive the ball, and cannot be moved.

In this way, Lampard has a 'fulcrum' when he and Makelele fight for the top. Frank Lampard is 1.83m, Makelele is only 1.7m, and in the high ball, Lampard still has a certain advantage.

In addition, Tang Wu asked Makelele not to show his strength, so when the ball came to him, Makelele only needed to interfere with Lampard slightly from behind. Wait for Lampard to ferry the ball to Glen Johnson before taking other defensive measures such as pressing or disrupting.

With the addition of the two, this 'goal-to-waist connection' practice is closer to actual combat, and Lampard's shooting percentage has dropped from 85 to around 55.

The training session with several players attracted the attention of many players resting next to him, and with the addition of goalkeeper Sullivan, Lampard's goal percentage dropped to single digits.

Although the goal rate is low, the shooting rate in the goal frame is still in the fifties, which is already terrible!

After all, Tang Wu and others' practice is not to let the team use this method as the main attack, but to let Chelsea have one more offensive method and an offensive firepower point.

Imagine what the opposition players would think when the Blues strikers couldn't open the game, and Frank Lampard suddenly threatened the opposition goal with two or three consecutive kicks in central midfield? What will the opposing goal think? What will the opposing coach think?

If someone else is separated from Lampard's attacking point, is the attacking force in other positions freed up?

As long as the coach does not give instructions to change the style of play, then the team will persist even if it can't open the situation, whether it is a long pass or a middle penetration.

So some people think that the coach's on-the-spot command is useless, and that is a big mistake.

Seeing the gradual increase in the number of "extra practice", Lapinli also stood curiously on the sidelines, observing this tactical play.

Long ball shifts and wide attacks have been Chelsea's main attacking methods this season, and the goalkeeper's long ball is actually a variant of the long ball rush.

Coaches often ignore this when designing and considering the style of play of long passes, in large part because the goalkeeper does not have such a long pass footwork, or the goalkeeper's long pass is difficult to pose a direct threat.

But Tang Wu's "doorman" position solves these problems well.

The forward position allows Tang Wu's pass to the landing point faster, and it will also make it easier for the ball to fly into the opponent's threatening airspace. In addition, the Blues defence often "lures the enemy deep", so when Tang Wu passes the ball, the opponent's midfield will often have a "vacuum zone" in a certain place.

Tang Wu's passing criterion is "pass the air but not the person", so when the ball is airborne into an open space in the front court, and the attacking team members grab the ball for the first time, they will immediately form a direct threat to the opponent's door.

This is also the reason why Lajili knew about their "indiscriminate practice" and did not stop it.

"Richards, what do you think?"

"Good!" Richards opened his mouth to affirm, "The TO position and the long ball are linked to Frank's long-range shot, and it might work wonders in the game!" ”

"yes, I didn't expect that kid to come up with such a tactic, it's really hard for him!" Raksli smiled wryly.

In the second half of the season, the Blues' defensive weakness became increasingly apparent, and even Abou was already planning how to bring fresh blood to Chelsea in the summer. Ronaldo, Figo and even Beckham, as long as the person concerned nods yes, Abu doesn't care how much it costs.

"If we had figured out this tactic a few months ago, we wouldn't have been so passive!" Richards sighed.

A few months ago? Tang Wu has yet to start, Frank Lampard has not confirmed the heart of the midfield, and Richards' thoughts are largely a dream.

"Huh? Who is that person? Lajili suddenly frowned, and saw Shen Xiangfu wearing a peaked cap and glasses on the sidelines, recording in a notebook. Stamford Bridge doesn't have this number of staff, does it? Let's find out if it's a spy sent by Arsenal! ”

With the Gunners just around the corner, Stamford Bridge is largely closed, refusing to be interviewed by all journalists.

It didn't take long for Richards to come to Lapinli with Shen Xiangfu: "Coach, this person said he was from China, and he came to find to"

"From China?" Ra's brow furrowed.

As Tang Wu's fame soared, more and more Chinese fans came to Stamford Bridge. Coupled with the fact that the boss is Russian, the staff at Stamford Bridge are quite friendly to these Chinese visitors.

"Hello, Coach Rakli." Shen Xiangfu stretched out his hand, "I am Shen Xiangfu, the coach of the Chinese Olympic team, and I am here to find Tang Wu this time." ”

"The coach of the Chinese Olympic Games?" Lajili's brows, which had just been furrowed, furrowed again, but out of politeness, he still reached out and shook Shen Xiangfu together.
