Chapter 68: Cooperation

When the players stood in their respective positions, Osilai said to the players: "Although this is an internal training match, you also have to go all out, and the offense can be trained according to our usual training, as for the defensive end, I decided to let you defend one-on-one and accelerate the training of your defensive ability" The players nodded their heads one by one to show that they understood.

The same line-up for this training fixture, except that Jones was placed on the bench this time, and this time it was also their fifth internal training game of the season, after which Jones will play Qarabag at home in Chelsea's first Champions League game of the season.

At the beginning of the game, Cesc Fabregas poked Costa and whispered: "What's the matter, how did Jones get on the bench, I haven't heard anything wrong with Jones and the coach." ”

"Well, I don't know much about this, maybe our backline was too miserable in the last game? So the coach put Jones on the bench and took the opportunity to see where the holes in our backline were, but today we can also take a look at the strength of our partner, he has been in our squad since he came to the first team, and now he is on the opposite side, so let's see the gap between the two! ”

Unlike the previous game, Jones was not with the main lineup, but in the bench lineup, which made most of the players wonder, but they were also puzzled and didn't pay much attention, as long as they did their best, after starting the game, Jones ran near the bottom line with the ball, and suddenly crossed to Pedro, Cahill who followed him was startled, thinking that Jones was going to shoot directly, and quickly signaled the defenders to be careful of Jones's long-range shot.

But apparently he was making a fuss, Jones didn't make any more intense attacks in the opening period, and after going around the baseline and then retreating directly to the halfway line, Cahill paused for a moment and thought: What does Jones mean by this? Didn't he care much about this game, thinking, he was not slow on his feet, but he still blocked Jones in front of him to prevent his breakthrough, and Cahill knew the quality of his teammate in the national team and the team.

Cahill shouted Azpilicueta, told the vice-captain to defend Jones, let him keep an eye on others, turned around and chased after Jones, Cahill's ball quotient is not low, he subconsciously thought that Jones should attack directly, make good use of his long shots, so he used to run back and forth to block Jones, hoping to slow down his attacking tempo, as well as curb Jones's speed.

But Jones didn't start attacking as he thought, but ran back and forth along the midline of the baseline, which Cahill felt very strange, but he didn't dare to slack off, but kept chasing Jones back and forth.

Jones's own thought was that he couldn't attack at first, but attracted the other party, and finally suddenly attacked, Pedro, who was hindered in the middle, saw Jones fighting against Cahill, saw Jones being guarded all the time, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and he didn't have much chance, Pedro also wanted to show himself, and hurriedly moved to the other side to prepare to meet Jones.

Looking at the captain of the team in front of him, Jones was not afraid at all, he kept changing his center of gravity and moving, hoping to disrupt Cahill's rhythm, but he didn't expect the captain to be very experienced, he always maintained the posture of facing Jones, shrouded Jones in the defensive area, and did not give Jones any chance to break through the defensive line.

A gleam flashed in Jones's eyes: Since I can't break through you, then I'll assist, I didn't plan to score, but to assist Segura, he adjusted the angle slightly, and continued to rush diagonally to the bottom line, Cahill's mind was confused, thinking: What is Jones doing with this kid, he has been walking me like this for 10 minutes, and he doesn't break through the attack, what is this going to do when he runs back and forth, and he is so close to the baseline sideline, regardless of him, my defense is not vegetarian!

Just when Cahill was thinking, Jones suddenly broke through from his left side, Cahill hurriedly caught up with the defense, but he didn't expect Jones to just make a long pass, passed the ball out, watching the ball pass out from Jones' feet, Cahill's heart was alarmed, but at this time the situation was useless for himself, as soon as the ball came out, he didn't keep up, or continued to defend Jones.

It was Segura who had already negotiated the pass from Jones, and the defender of Segura was Cesar Azpilicueta, who still stepped forward to grab the ball, but Segura rushed up with speed and received Jones' pass, Azpilicueta was helpless, watching Segura shoot with his feet, and the ball flew towards the goal like a missile.

"Brush!" A not-so-cool but absolutely wonderful goal, the substitutes scored a goal from the main team in the opening 13 minutes, Jones and Segura stepped forward to high-five, and the two laughed loudly: "You pass so well, you shoot beautifully, perfectly!" ”

After a moment of silence after seeing the team's substitute team score first, it seems that they have never seen such a good cooperation with the substitute lineup, and then thinking about the team's performance against Leicester City a few days ago, they can't help but think of whether it is because of Jones that the substitute team has such a good cooperation.

Osilai, who was outside the court, also widened his eyes, looking incredulous, at this time Kodic also came out of the office, Osilai whispered to Kodic: "Jones's role is really so strong, he has been in the main lineup, I can't see it, but his attack power has increased too much in the bench lineup, Segura didn't look so strong before, Segura doesn't still play the hidden strength, it seems that Jones has made his strength soar,"

Kodic next to him glanced at him and said: "Think about it, like you said, there is no need for Segura to hide his strength, and neither is Jones, why has the bench lineup changed so much, this is because these two people have a huge tacit understanding, so this view of improving strength is only used for the two of them This obvious change, but it is impossible for the team to change the team's tactical coordination for the sake of two people."

Kodic paused and continued: "But you can design a few tactics for one person, and tactics are not necessarily conventional and can be used depending on the opponent's situation, to the point of surprising victory." ”

"How is that possible? In just half an hour, you have come up with a few new tactics? Ossilai asked incredulously.

Kodic whispered: "Be quiet, this is just my initial idea, around Jones, the frontcourt free man set up several strange formations, or formation variants, can be said to be the easiest tactics to transform, it is not difficult to get familiar with this tactic, the most important thing is Jones, the frontcourt free man!" If it meets my requirements, other players can train as usual, just change one Jones, and if it's okay and can be used in real combat soon, then I have a better grasp of the results this season. ”

More surprised than the surprised Osi, it was Jones, he looked at Kodic standing on the sidelines, the latter was also turning his head to look at him, smiling and nodding, Jones smiled, thinking: The coach thought about the tactics so quickly, it won't be unreliable, the tactics that he thought of temporarily, he perfected it so quickly, can he play it on the field!

And the game on the field is still going on, Pedro steadily brought the ball to the opponent's half, looking for opportunities outside the penalty area, I have to say that Pedro's strength is also good, Jones signaled to Pedro to ask for the ball.
