Seeing that the time was already noon and the important things had been arranged, Li Chengfeng decided to go to bed early and return to the real world, so he left the team base under the pretext of going back to the hotel to sort out his personal belongings.

When Li Chengfeng woke up, he found that he was still on the bed in the room he rented, he closed his eyes again, took a few deep breaths, and opened his eyes again, the environment still did not change, but Li Chengfeng's heart was very agitated, as if he had found the direction of the future all of a sudden. That's right, you can only take this road, otherwise what should you do? Waiting for the points to be deducted and dying? In order to be able to live longer, Li Chengfeng has no choice.

This time he returned to the real world earlier, and Li Chengfeng had more time to collect information. But where to start? Li Chengfeng didn't have the slightest clue, he sat in front of the computer in a daze, thought for a long time, and finally knocked down the words "development of football tactics".

Looking at the dazzling search results on the screen, Li Chengfeng seriously, clicked on them one by one, and spent a day, and finally decided to use 4-2-3-1, a tactic that is extremely popular in the world at the moment, as the team's preferred tactic. Why? It's just because he said in the comments that compared with several other popular formations, this formation does not have such high requirements for the individual ability of players in a certain position, and it is mainly built by tactical coordination and reasonable personnel matching. Thinking about the team he coaches, those England rough brothers at the level of the third division, Li Chengfeng feels that his head is big.

Moreover, in the United Kingdom over there, the vast majority of teams still use the classic 4-4-2 traditional formation, in the face of 4-2-3-1, the interception and control of the midfield will be quite difficult, and once it is not controlled, it is difficult to deliver shells for the two wings, and if it is not good, it can directly abolish its two wings of attack, so that the tactics of 4-4-2 wings flying together are difficult to get substantial results.

I didn't expect that there would be so much attention to a formation, and Li Chengfeng, who was not even a senior fan, felt that today was an eye-opener, and he also threw his previous fantasy of "soldiers are uncertain and water is impermanent".

After making up for the knowledge of formations, Li Chengfeng ordered a few more teaching books on football tactics, to see that the time was not early, it should be the morning of that world, and hurriedly washed up, replenished his energy, and lay on the bed, while thinking about entering the CM world, he closed his eyes and wanted to fall asleep.

Although Li Chengfeng's spirit is more excited now, it should be difficult to fall asleep, but it may be due to the system, when he opened his eyes, he was already in the bed of the hotel where he left yesterday in the CM world. Seeing this environment, Li Chengfeng clenched his fists and waved it a few times, expressing his agitated mood: From now on, he will struggle to survive in this world.

No matter what, you must work hard to live a wonderful life, Li Chengfeng secretly cheered for himself.

Came to the team base, watched the team's basic training again, still could not satisfy Li Chengfeng, although he didn't understand this, but the overwhelming information in the real world made him know that combined with the ball, high-intensity ball training, compared with the current team's boring, repetitive, low-intensity off-ball training is more in line with the needs of actual combat, and can also quickly cultivate the team's technical and tactical level. But now he can't do anything, and he is also a layman, so what qualifications does he have to guide others? Trying to improve yourself is king, and as far as these assistant coaches are concerned, their abilities are not very good, but their personalities are very stubborn, especially the English people who value tradition the most, and it is also a question whether they can accept these new ideas. In the real world, the tactical philosophy of English teams has always lagged behind the continental football system, until the influx of foreign coaches and players broke their inherent stubbornness. Ten years from now, when the coaches of the top teams in the Premier League are all coaches from the continental system, stubborn England will admit that they are behind. However, it is also very difficult to be a pioneer in breaking with tradition now, but this is a matter of life, and I must not compromise on it, so let those traditions go to hell.

At the meeting again, when Lee proposed to replace the traditional 4-4-2 formation of the current team with this time, the 4-2-3-1 tactical play that has not yet been used by the team in the United Kingdom, his assistant coaches felt a little confused and expressed their opposition.

Chief assistant coach West took it first: "There is still a month before the league starts, and now there is no time to change the formation and play style." ”

"There's still a month to go." Li Chengfeng emphasized his determination, "Moreover, there will be a big change in the player lineup, and it needs to be run-in." New players, new formations, new tactics, just running in together. ”

"But no team has used this formation yet, does it really work? Our goal is to escalate, and that's too risky. "The opposition is still not small.

Fortunately, Li Chengfeng has checked the information, and he replied confidently: "It's not that no team has used it, the French national team won the European Championship in 2000 is this tactic, and the Spanish Real Madrid team has also used this formation to play in the 2001 season, and has achieved very good results." They won last season's Champions League and last season's La Liga. ”

"That's Real Madrid."

"Yes, that's Real Madrid, but the League One teams are not as good as the teams in La Liga and the Champions League." Lee Seung-phong patiently tried to convince his aides that his prestige had not yet reached the level of resonance, "The English league teams basically use the traditional 4-4-2 formation, with two midfielders in midfield responsible for interception and ball sharing, breaking on both sides, and two forwards responsible for longitudinal tandem. ”

Li Chengfeng recalled the knowledge he checked on the Internet yesterday, drawing a tactical map on the blackboard in the conference room, "The overall impact of this formation is very strong, especially the straight impact of the two wings, but the middle of the midfield is the core and weakness of this formation." The 4-4-2 demands a lot from two players in the middle of the midfield, with excellent interception ability and at least one player with some ability to play the ball, which is rarely achieved by any team at League One level. Usually they focus on interception, and focus their attacks on flank assaults. Or a playmaker can cut inside and assist the midfielder in organising. ”

"At this time, in the face of a 4-2-3-1 formation, due to the disadvantage of the number of midfielders, it will be very difficult for the two midfielders to intercept and share the ball, and after being strangled in the middle, the side cannot be transported and will not be effective."

It seems to make a lot of sense, and there is also the case of Real Madrid in front of it, and others can't say any reason for opposing it, so they can only accept it.

Li Chengfeng saw that they seemed to be impressed by their own statements, and he was even more proud in his heart, and he spoke more confidently: "Compared with the 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 formation that lacks depth and hierarchy is more flexible and flexible, the defense is solid, the offense and defense are balanced, and the speed of offensive and defensive switching is faster." The division of labor among the players is clearer, and more attention is paid to coordination and tactics, and when training, passing and receiving in small and medium areas need to be strengthened. ”

Li Chengfeng gave a detailed explanation of the requirements of the players in each position of this formation, and several major formation changes were also drawn, and several people began to discuss how to rearrange the training mode to make the players familiar with the new tactics faster. Since the others did not understand the 4-2-3-1 tactic, Li Chengfeng was coaxed and finally fooled over.

Another day in the CM world, Li Chengfeng returned to the real world, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first joined the work, energetic and passionate, he found his purpose in life again, except for the bright red countdown sign that made him feel dazzling, everything was so beautiful.

While collecting information on the 4-2-3-1 formation on the Internet, Li Chengfeng registered accounts on some football forums to see how those veteran fans understood football tactics, and he also checked the issue of coach training by the way.

Li Chengfeng does not have expectations for the level of domestic coach training, but he just wants to learn some basic tactics and training knowledge that are now very popular.

However, the result of the online query was to pour cold water on Li Chengfeng, the price is not expensive, but the coach training course organized by the Football Association can only start from the lowest level of coaching class, and only after obtaining a low-level coaching qualification can he participate in the higher-level training. Not only that, but the training courses are only held twice a year, and registration for this year's summer course has closed. Of course, even if the time is not closed, this place will not be his turn. although

However, the lowest level of D-level coaches written in the official introduction does not need relevant professional league experience, and ordinary football enthusiasts can participate in the training, and they can pass the exam. But in fact, some netizens provided their own experiences, the Football Association does not accept individual registration, only accepts the recommendation/collective registration of the associations under the Football Association.

So where are the associations under the Football Association? How do I join? Sports schools, registered clubs, that is, football coaches are either from sports schools or active/retired athletes.

Li Chengfeng's mood when he knew this result was indescribable, no wonder Chinese football was rotten, it turned out to be deviated from the beginning; No wonder the low population of Chinese football turned out to be artificially controlled; Ordinary people, just pay for tickets, the core part of the cake of the Chinese football industry, you don't even want to touch it.

In contrast, there are almost no restrictions in Europe in this regard, for example, in the CM world, the United Kingdom, which Lee Seung-peak chooses, the lowest-level Level 1 coach, as long as he is a football enthusiast, can apply to participate in the training. Although it is difficult to be promoted later, the huge base gives them a natural advantage in the development of players. The German Football Association encourages the training of football coaches, and they have as many as 35,000 people who have obtained UEFA recognition of B-level or higher coaching qualifications, including more than 1,000 people who are qualified to coach the Premier League, and the top coaching qualifications, which is nearly 10 times that of the British Football Association.

The vast majority of them are focused on the development of young players, and while they may not be able to coach a professional team in their lifetime, they provide the most critical mentor base for the development of football's pillars.
