Chapter 157: Meow!
As soon as Sunderland's starting list came out, as expected, the Nigerian winger Etuhu did not appear in it, and not only him, but Marko, who was okay with the Black Cats, was not on the starting list.
Headward was standing at the entrance of the tunnel, wearing a pair of dark red glasses on his face, and at this moment there were still a few minutes before the start of the game, and the players were coming in this direction from the dressing room to prepare for the start.
Sunderland's two tallest players, Bendtner and Wickham, are at the forefront of the team, and the Black Cat is a tactical wonder of any team that uses a two-striker system.
Normally, the coach needs to balance his attacking line, with the number 10 focusing on creating chances, and the midfield number nine scoring goals. The result is a forward combination similar to the Czech Republic in the '04 European Championships: the famous pair of Koller and Barros. The two-striker system slowly evolved into a creator-scorer model, with the number nine and the number ten blurring, a model that reduced the reliance on physical attributes but raised the demands on technique and creativity, exemplified by the best striker duo in Juventus history, Prince Bianconeri, Piero and Trezeguet. This model has played a huge role in the first generation of Portsmouth's attacking group built by Heidward, and Lawrence has also improved from just two goals and one assist last season to almost ten assists in the first half of last season.
Pep Guardiola later made a tactical innovation, but of course this is a few years later, when Guardiola single-handedly built Lewandowski and Thomas at Bayern Munich. Muller's forward combination, the positional responsibilities of the two people are completely different from the two pairs above, more like a "false nine" and a "false ten". The number 10 Lewandowski usually drops back deeply, while the number nine Muller stands up in the midfield position and frequently tries to cut back, a combination that Muller has avoided the physical confrontations that most of the past no.9s have faced with his excellent off-the-ball running.
Modern strikers, more and more in need of all-rounding, Suarez; Robert Lewandowski is the quintessential example, and it is increasingly difficult for a player with a single character like Icardi in Portsmouth to survive. When Hydward first arranged the tactics, he preferred that the beryllium emperor could play Thomas. Muller's role is to expand his range of activities, rather than simply operating in the restricted area.
Sunderland's two-forward system isn't any of the above, but it's a lot like the two-tower tactics on a basketball court! There were two big tall men in the box, and Bendtner headed the first point to Wickham's feet. Wickham is known as the second generation of Crouch in England, and Great Britain has this kind of strange Teletubbies-type striker like Wheelbeck, who is more than two meters tall and likes to play with others. It's all like this, the tactics of the black cat are no tactics, and a tattered set of 442 supports the caretaker coach Eric. Blake's final coaching career.
Edward has a little inside information, Sunderland's senior management is very dissatisfied with the team is still struggling to be relegated in the Premier League with such a big investment, and they are preparing a second change of manager. O'Neill was seen as the right fit.
Martin. Old fritters like O'Neal or Uncle Sam are hard to deal with, they're experienced, almost never make mistakes, they're steady, and they'll occasionally give you a trick that will make you as sick as a fly.
Hydward thinks that the level of a bottle of water is less than half a bottle of water, but he is still somewhat sure of dealing with a caretaker coach who has lost consecutive games and now does not have a reliable starting list in his heart, Sunderland has played 5 games, 2 draws and 3 losses, 23 people before and after have been given the opportunity to play, and the head coach is like a headless fly everywhere.
Speaking to the media before the match, Eric said: "I think everything is stressful, physically, mentally, it's not fun at all, you have to give it your all all day, even if you get hurt, sometimes my stomach is very upset, I want to throw up, I just have to cough hard until the tears come out." ”
The remarks earned him a glimmer of sympathy, but at the same time exposed the manager's weakness, at least the media would have felt that Hydward had been confident in his starting team during the days when Pompey's team was running in the lineup.
Marko and Etuhu shook hands and hugged Margery, who knew each other well, in the tunnel and agreed to exchange jerseys until the bell rang.
Out of the hallway, they looked for Hydward on the sidelines to greet him, but before he could say a few words, he was called back by the other side, and Eric didn't want his team to go out of the way and reveal even a few words of tactics to the enemy in advance.
You're all like this, are there still tactics? The warmth of the atmosphere was destroyed.
He said to himself: "I didn't have Mourinho's life, I had Mourinho's disease." ”
Hearing Mr. Coach muttering quietly, Assistant Coach Finnan asked curiously: "What Mourinho?" ”
Hydward bared his two front teeth, "It's nothing, Finnan, are Premier League coaches as boring as singing shows on TV?" Returning to his seat, he said to the assistant coach next to him who was there with Erlang's legs, and he couldn't wait to prepare a few catties of sugar oranges and half a catty of melon seeds for him.
In stark contrast, the manager next door, Eric has not calmed down, pacing back and forth, looking at his watch, pretending to smile, and standing on the sidelines as if he were facing a big enemy.
Finnan didn't know how to speak, just shook her head.
The head coach snapped his fingers and said, for example, "Team leader Paul. Clement. ”
He held out his middle finger, "Janitor Hodgson"
"Old Battery Sean Dicche"
Finnan's face is full of black lines, and the coach next to him likes to give people nicknames, such as the British Teletubbies Welbeck just now.
God TM Teletubbies!
Edward didn't seem to have the consciousness to stop, and continued: "Wood man Eddie Howe" is polite, as a rising star of Great Britain, in addition to poor emotional control, he is indeed an excellent head coach.
Finally, he concluded: "Dasha Mark. Hughes; Two silly alain. Pardu"
Finnan: "......"
The homegrown head coach is largely inadequate, but these men never seem to be out of work, with Roy Hodgson Liverpool able to send the Reds out of relegation in just six months, and West Bromwich Albion soon after his dismissal, and even a position as England national team manager soon. Well, the cute janitor at least didn't spend a lot of transfer funds from the boss, and the stupid two stupid can throw hundreds of millions into the river without hearing a sound.
With that money, Hydward will give you a Champions League title, believe it or not!
The Portsmouth fans in the stands have begun to make a huge noise to build momentum for the game, the blue and white flames in the south stand have begun to rise, the fans' first song "What We Have Been Chasing" has soared, and Mahrez, who is driving off alone, glanced at Drinkwater two steps away behind him, then at Mane, who was still knocking on the grass clippings in his shoes, and finally nodded imperceptibly to Hydward, who was touching his beard.
The Sunderland players were jumping on one foot with their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking, and no one's attention was on the ball......
