David Livermore......

Just thinking about Livermore's name makes Zhang Yang a little headache.

Livermore's only strength is physical strength, which is a big advantage for professional football, but the 'flaw' of IQ limits his development.

"It's rude to think so, but that's the way it is."

Zhang Yang was very emotional.

In fact, the professional arena requires a lot of brains, the brains in the game, the brains to understand tactics, and the brains to have a 'big picture' also need brains, and the wisdom of the field is also wisdom.

Football is a team sport, not a one-man game.

Livermore's skills are rough, it is very problematic to cooperate with his teammates, coupled with the difficulty of understanding tactics, he can only barely be a defensive midfielder, and the offense is a long-range shooting opportunity obtained by relying on 'luck', even if the long-range shooting ability is also given by Zhang Yang relying on 'words and spirits'.

Livermore now has two major strengths: body and long-range shooting.

Both stand out.

Livermore is physically strong like a bull, and it is difficult to find a figure comparable to him in the entire European professional arena.

Four months of training has also greatly improved Livermore's long-range shooting, but he has reached the top of the world in terms of shooting ability on the edge of the penalty area, even surpassing players like Robert Carlos, who are mainly power-oriented.

Livermore's flaws are also evident and are easy to target when it comes to the field.

There was no way for Zhang Yang to choose Livermore, and he had to accept the reality that Millwall's squad was too poor for a player with the ability to stand out.

Like Jody Morris, the level is really good, but he is also a well-rounded player and does not have particularly outstanding abilities.

Not to mention the other players.

If Zhang Yang were to make a comment, he would dare to say that Millwall was all a trick player.

It's a little too difficult for these players to add effective scoring tools, and his only option is David Livermore.

So now we have to face the question: how can we make Livermore's long-range shooting ability play out?

This is a big problem.

In the beginning, opponents always didn't care much about Livermore, and Livermore could still find opportunities, but now that every opponent knows that Livermore's long-range shots are a threat, they will naturally strengthen their defense.

Then if you want Livermore to increase your chances, you have to take a roundabout route.

When he arrived at midfield, Zhang Yang was thinking about this problem, and when he returned to the locker room, he kept pacing and thinking carefully.

This serious attitude makes no one else dare to bother.

Finally Zhang Yang stopped, he took a deep breath and pointed to a player, "Little Kevin, you go in the second half!" ”

Everyone else looked at Braniff.

Braniff suddenly exclaimed, "Okay, boss! ”

Then Zhang Yang began to lay out his tactics.

Zhang Yang asked Braniff to replace Marvin Elliott and a striker to replace the midfielder, which was equivalent to adjusting the formation back to 442, and after returning to the 442 formation, the defense at the edge of the penalty area was also a problem, he told Jody Morris to retreat more, and then told Neil Harris to play more aggressively.

In the end, he found Braniff alone and praised him carefully, "You are one of the most powerful players in the front court, your ability is very comprehensive, whether it is individual dribbling or cooperation with teammates, you can do a very good ......"

This compliment made Braniff almost float to the sky, especially when there were a few players next to him, Braniff suddenly felt that he had become the best player on the team, he puffed up his chest, only to hear Zhang Yang's last words, "You have to help attract the attention of the defense, and if you have the opportunity, you can pass it back to David......"

"Huh? David? ”

Braniff pointed at Livermore in a daze, "Give him the ball?" ”

"That's right! You can be a threat to the other side alone, but football is a team sport, and David's insertion is also important......" Zhang Yang then began to explain how to make Braniff attract firepower and how to give David Livermore a chance.

Everyone listened patiently.

Braniff felt that Zhang Yang had assigned a very important job, but everyone else understood: the second-half offense was played around David Livermore.

Whether it's Jody Morris dropping back, Braniff stepping forward to draw the attention of the defence, or getting the two wings and Neil Harris to play more aggressively, it's all about helping to draw the defence's attention so that David Livermore in the middle can get more chances.

Everyone doesn't quite understand why Zhang Yang thinks so highly of defender Livermore, but they are just players, just follow the manager's instructions.

Wise was questioning, "You believe in David so much?" ”

Aldous didn't say anything.

On weekdays, he doesn't pay much attention to David Livermore, so he naturally knows the purpose of doing so.

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Dennis, you haven't been in the team for four months, so you probably don't know much about it, but when it comes to the second half, you will understand." ”

————

The adjustment made by Zhang Yang is a bit complicated to talk about, but it is actually quite simple, which is to make the forward line active and the wide field active to attract enough defensive attention, and at the same time let Jody Morris, who is active in the middle, drop back appropriately to make up for Elliott's lack of defense.

So Livermore was 'released'.

This is a strategy developed around Livermore, the purpose is to increase Livermore's chances, but it is also a very helpless choice: if Livermore can have a good frontcourt awareness, he may be able to find opportunities himself.

It's a pity......

With so many teammates making sacrifices, let's just hope that Livermore can perform well.

Zhang Yang sighed.

What many people don't notice is that in the first minute of the second half, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines, which is very common, but it is actually a little unusual for Zhang Yang.

The game on the field is attractive enough.

Millwall were the side behind and from the first minute they were attacking towards the Reading half.

Josh Simpson's dribbling created the first chance for Millwall, who played the ball into the box before Braniff got into position and finished the first shot.

Millwall played quite well at the start of the second half, but Braniv was heavily defended and his shot failed to pose a threat and was comfortably picked up by the goalkeeper.

Reading then counter-attacked, creating a greater threat, but goalkeeper Graham played well and saved the ball.

Reading won a corner and continued to lay siege to the Millwall penalty area.

The siege lasted almost two minutes and ended after a faulty pass by Reading, who were already on the offensive at a fast pace while the Reading fans were still immersed in the attack.

Braniff did a good job.

Braniff's ability is very comprehensive, and he is also very the field, especially after receiving praise from the public, Braniff has a lot of desire to perform, when he got the ball, he and Neil Harris did a little together, and shook two Reading defenders in a row, but unfortunately his speed was a little slow, and he was surrounded at the edge of the penalty area.

When Zhang Yang saw this scene, he was extremely surprised, he originally thought that the team had no geniuses, and there were high-level main players, except for one Jody Morris, the others were basically veterans.

Braniff?

A player who is less than 23 years old can perform like this, he can be considered a genius, right?

Although he had never heard of Braniff's name in his previous life, Zhang Yang felt that it was probably caused by that 'wonderful' personality, that kind of child-like personality, which would definitely not be liked by the head coach, and it was normal for him to slowly degenerate without a chance to play.

Zhang Yang silently classified Braniff as a 'rare genius in the team'.

Braniff was really good, teaming up with Neil Harris and then passing two opponents in a row, attracting enough defensive attention to get the ball around and getting the ball on his backheel to keep up with Joey Healy.

Joey Healy glanced at the penalty area and wanted to pass the ball over, but suddenly thought of Zhang Yang's advice, "Give David more chances!" ”

So Joey Healy didn't make a long pass, but took two steps forward himself, and immediately a player came to defend.

Joey Healy leaned back and gave the ball to Jody Morris.

Morris ran to the ball and kicked it towards the line of the box, where Braniff was, and the moment he jumped, he glanced at the goal, but chose to push the ball sideways.

Livermore followed just in time!

Livermore has been at the edge of the box but has been defended by opposing players, and when Jody Morris gets the ball and the defender goes to help defend Morris, Livermore is freed up.

When he saw Braniff put the ball over, Livermore was dumbfounded and knew it was a good opportunity.

He rushed forward to meet the ball and swung his right foot!

————

The attention of the whole court was focused on David Livermore, and Millwall's offensive just now attracted quite attention, and Braniff alone led the activity of the frontcourt, and the offensive centered on him made the Reading team's defense suddenly panic.

But no one would have thought that it would be Livermore who would complete the shot.

This stupid big guy didn't even touch the ball!

Now that Livermore is about to shoot, many people subconsciously think, "Isn't this guy wasting his chance?" ”

"That location? It's too far! ”

"What a waste of the wonderful offensive just now!"

“……”

Quite a few people think so.

What no one noticed was that at the moment when Livermore waved his foot, Zhang Yang, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly said two words, "Score!" ”

That's the Chinese pronunciation.

The two words seemed to have magic power, and they were instantly mapped to Livermore, who suddenly felt that he seemed to have become in a brave state, and this kick was like finding a feeling in weekday training.

The moment he kicked the ball out, Livermore's eyes passed between the two players in the box, and the ball passed between the two players as if it had been planned.

The next moment, the football appeared in front of the goal.

The Reading goalkeeper was blocked from view, barely reacting, and when the ball had crossed the goal line, he turned his head and watched as the ball crashed into the net, sending a wave of white flowers.
