Chapter 14 Worry-free defense
As a time-traveler, Dick certainly knows the importance of mouth cannon - his eloquence is not bad, but what he knows more is that as a head coach of the Airborne Forces, just using mouth cannon is looking for death, because the players are not fools, and he is a newcomer who has not established his prestige among the players, and wants to build the confidence of the players to win through a few words...... Even if he is a big fool, the player is not a fan chef.
If you want the players to have confidence in him, you have to come up with something else.
"Lleida's offense is actually not very good, they were able to score two goals in the first half, mainly relying on the personal breakthrough of the number twenty, his technical speed is quite good, but he is more accustomed to individual attacks, so David, in the second half you continue to go to the side to fill in the position, especially in the case of Otes to go up to assist, if they counterattack to find the point of the number twenty, you have to go up and force him as soon as possible, so that he can't break through at high speed, which is very important, it is related to whether our attack can be carried out without any worries."
"Curro, you come on in the second half, replace Lima, your task is to hold this point while we attack-" Dick turned and drew a circle on the tactical board where his half was less than ten meters away from the arc of the middle circle: "When the opponent counterattacks, you must stand in your own position and block their attack, so that their fast attack will not be able to play at all!" Do you understand? ”
Kuro Bakas, who had already completed the warm-up, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied excitedly: "Understood, sir!" Lima, who was substituted, had a broken face – no one wants to be substituted midway through, not even young players.
"Don't think you're less important, Lima, it's just a tactical change, we need to attack and defend a little bit more consistently."
Dick said to Lima that he thought it was a good opportunity to buy people's hearts.
Lima agreed angrily, this Senegalese player is a young player brought in by Atletico Madrid from Africa this season to see if he can use it in the future - his physical fitness is indeed excellent, but the sense of the game is a little worse, which seems to be a common problem of African players.
After comforting Lima, Dick began to lay out offensive tactics: "In terms of overall strength, we have to be better than them, both in terms of coordination and individual ability, so after the start of the second half, we have to attack. The way of attacking is the same as at the beginning of the first half, quickly passing through the midfield, and then passing back and forth to find opportunities, Fernando is still the main scorer, all the attacks have to revolve around him, understand? ”
"Got it!"
The answer was not loud, but it was neat - the goal in the first half allowed Torres to break the goal drought at the same time, but also made the teammates pick up confidence in Torres - you must know that although the players of the second team are not very old, but in fact they also know that with their strength, it may be difficult to gain a foothold in the first team of Atletico Madrid, their task is to play well in the second team, and then get the opportunity to be favored by other teams, if you want to achieve good results, you have to rely on those talented players, Torres, That's a talented player.
It's just that Torres' consecutive non-scoring successes have also made them wonder - can this boy under the age of seventeen really lead them forward? That's right, Pele was only 17 years old when he went to the World Cup, but there was only one Pele, 17-year-old Maradona missed the World Cup, and 17-year-old Ronaldo sat on the bench for a full seven games in the World Cup - will Torres be about the same as these people? No kidding......
I have to say that Torres, who just turned sixteen in March this year, and is still just a teenager, entered the second team of Atletico Madrid so early, which is not a good choice - in some ways, Torres has not fully grown up, his body has not matured, and the confrontation has not become too good, and a large part of his ability to enter the second team is due to other reasons - after the loss of Raul, Hill urgently needs another talent to recover this loss, and Torres appeared at this time, He seems to be better than Raul, so Hill can't wait to let Torres enter the second team, hoping to let him accept the training of professional games earlier, and when he performs well and enters the first team, it will be another golden sign for Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid!
It is for this reason that the sixteen-year-old Torres entered the second team of Atletico Madrid, and even used a lot of connections for this to make him pass the registration of professional competitions - you must know that according to the regulations, in Spain, players under the age of 17 cannot sign professional contracts, and often cannot play professional team games, and in order to make Torres appear smoothly in the second division, Hill also spent a lot of energy.
With such high expectations, when Torres's performance was not as good as it could have been, although most sane people knew that a player under the age of 17 should not be demanding, before he knew it, many people began to feel disappointed in him - a subconscious behavior, including his teammates.
The first-half goal effectively alleviated this doubt, and no Atletico second team player has any doubts about Dick's tactical arrangement - Torres scored a goal, which is a simple and straightforward proof that Dick's trust in Torres is correct.
Seeing the players neatly answer his words, Dick nodded with satisfaction, although the score is still behind, but he feels that the situation is constantly improving - at least the assistant coaches around him are still quite dutiful, and the players are more obedient - after all, they are all young people in their twenties, and they still have enough respect for authority.
After resting the players, Dikla passed Marriner and muttered to him on the side.
"There's still a lot of stuff left the coaching staff on the table...... Robert, I hope that within a day after each game, the information about our next match and the footage of at least one of the last games will be on my desk in my apartment. If it weren't for the unfamiliarity with the opponent, we wouldn't have played like this in the first half. ”
Marriner nodded, he knew that this was his dereliction of duty: "I understand, I will go to collect the opponent's information every time I play in the future...... Previous managers collected it themselves, and I thought you did the same. ”
"I can't be distracted before the game starts." Dick rightly said it left Marriner speechless — but who made the family the head coach? No matter how much work you do, you can't win with the team, and it's also the life of dismissal, no matter how lazy you are, as long as you can lead the team to win, you still have a stable position.
The position of head coach is that no one looks at you for your hard work without merit, even if you are tired and vomit blood and have a heart attack, no one will sympathize with you, only say that you are really not a good coach......
When the fourth official came in to remind them that the second half was about to begin, Dick stood up and waved his hand.
"Let's go and beat those guys, that's all they can do!"
****************************************
Nakel Bueno stands in the centre circle ready to kick off.
He is full of confidence in this game, and having been loaned out by Barcelona this season, Nacker feels that it is a good opportunity to prove himself, especially in this game, against the talented Torres, who is recognized throughout Madrid, Nacker believes that if he can perform well, he can return to Barcelona and become a regular - despite his position in the Barcelona first team with vice-captain Figo, Nacker feels that he can still be qualified for a substitute position......
Maybe he will be able to do it, but alas, he meets a Dick who also has to prove himself in this game, and unfortunately, Dick is the main character......
"I'm the main character, I'm the best." Dick thought.
At the start of the second half, Nacker began to be more active, wanting to help Lleida completely gain the advantage.
However, he immediately fell into the defensive quagmire of Atletico Madrid's second team.
The strength of Atletico Madrid's second team is not weak, although others are not geniuses like Torres, but they are also professional players who often play in La B, and their ability to execute tactics is still quite strong, otherwise they would not have won the second place in La B last year, Nacker is not a super talent, he can dribble the ball alone from the opponent's two people to highlight the encirclement and then shoot and score, if he is such a genius, he will not be loaned by Barcelona to the La B team to exercise......
Kubino is now almost a left-midfielder, plus the non-assist Ottes, the two joined forces to keep an eye on Nacker, who did not choose to pass, he is not a player with good passing awareness, he is more accustomed to using his individual ability to create chances, and then he crashes into a wall.
When he forced his way through Otes, the ball was a little bigger, and the reinforcing Kubino waited there, hooked the ball off with a delicate kick, and then passed it to Carlos, who was in front of him.
Atletico Madrid quickly launched a counter-attack, Carlos passed the ball to Domingo on the right side, Domingo crossed, Zacinos headed the ball to Torres, who ran out of space, Torres shot directly and was blocked by the opposing defender.
"Just fight like that!" Dick slapped his face and shouted at the audience.
He began to feel that it was not too difficult to command the game, because now Lleida does not have many offensive means, and the overall strength is still weaker than that of the Atletico Madrid second team, and the only thing that can be used is Nacker's personal ability, and now after being entangled by Atletico Madrid's two players, Nacker's personal play is limited, and the Atletico Madrid second team has taken advantage of the field again!
Their attack is still very simple, nothing more than passing through the middle and splitting the wings, and then sending various high-flying, ground-to-ground crosses from the flanks to create opportunities for the two strikers.
After a series of counter-attacks to no avail, Nacker became a little smarter, and he began to plan to attract the opponent's attention and then pass the ball to the player in the middle to launch a quick counterattack - but the substitute Barkas was like a nail nailed to the center circle, he was always able to slow down the opponent's counterattack, and then give his teammates a chance to return to the defense - in fact, the return defense is also very fast, if the active return defense, it is enough to return to the defense in ten seconds.
As for the troublesome guy who bypassed the middle and passed the ball directly to the other side...... Not to mention whether his teammates on the other side can pick up quickly, Nacker doesn't have the ability to make accurate long passes - something Dick observed in the first half, and it seems that what he observed is starting to come to fruition gradually.
"Then it's a matter of when we can score...... Torres, you kid give me some strength. Dick thought to himself.
