Zhang Shu's crying about Merizini is more like selling cuteness, after a holiday hell training, this kind of ordinary physical training has been able to be completed relatively easily for him, but he has to put in more effort but have to endure more training than his teammates, which makes him a little mentally unbalanced. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Luckily, the rest of my teammates quickly joined in. As everyone entered the physical training session, the tactical training also kicked off immediately.

Pre-season training has been very tight for Mazzoni. Since the team needs to practice new tactics in the new season, as he revealed to Zhang Shu in advance, in addition to reserving physical fitness, tactical classes will also take up a lot of training time.

For the players, their decision to Mazzoni was also a matter of hands-on support, with few getting pleasure out of the physical training, and most of the players completing the training in quality and quantity simply because of their professionalism. If they had a choice, their favourite was to play training matches, followed by various exercises with the ball, and tactical training, although a bit boring, was much better than physical training.

Of all, Pep Guardiola is the one who is most excited about tactical training. Since he proposed a new approach to Mazzoni last season, he has discussed it with the coaching staff countless times. In the afternoons and weekends when all the players finished training, he, along with Mazzoni, Igor, Merizini and others, continued to tinker and improve the new tactics he proposed. And now, the tactical system that has existed on paper for more than half a year is finally going to be put into practice, becoming the key to leading the team to victory.

For Pep Guardiola, this is the first time he has turned the tactical ideas in his mind into reality, like a mother who is ten months pregnant, and he can't wait to see his own child croak to the ground.

"That's the new tactic we're going to get familiar with next." During the tactics lesson, Mazzoni pointed a laser pointer at a projection screen with a formation map. "Next, we're going to let Pep explain the changes you need to make in this new formation."

Pep Guardiola rose from his seat and took the laser pointer from Mazzoni's hand. Although he had practiced several times at home the day before, he still felt a little nervous for no reason.

"Great... Hello everyone, next, by me... Let's talk about next season, oh no, this season, no, it's a new season of tactical changes that start right away. ”

Zhang Shu let out a he Next season, this season, the new season that starts soon, isn't it all the same thing... Pep even struggled with the word, which showed how much he valued his first tactical performance.

Of course, Viviano didn't dare to laugh out loud as unbridled as Zhang Shu, as a young player who had just joined the first team, his status was very different from Zhang Shu. Zhang told that Guardiola joked because they had a good enough relationship, and if Viviano laughed like that, it was inevitable that other players would think that he lacked enough respect for the veteran players.

'There's not much change at the back from last year, it's still a back four, and the defenders don't need to change much, just play like they did last year. In central midfield, we had three central midfielders, me, Gigi and Mattuzalen. I'm going to control the tempo of the team, just like last year. Matuzalen and Gigi, both of you will need to juggle defending and assisting, but of course, the exact positioning and timing of the insertion will be explained to you later in training. ”

When the tactical explanation officially began, Guardiola's performance got better and better, and he seemed to be immersed in the sea of tactics and had forgotten the tension.

"The biggest change is in the forward line, in terms of the lineup, we have changed to three strikers this season, Zhang, Robbie, Toney. The three of you are very flexible up front, and that's the biggest feature of this set. ”

'Toney, you're in the middle of the front three, most of the time you're going to be our fulcrum up front like you did last season, with Robbie and Chang feeding you ammunition on either wing. At the same time, after conceding the ball, they counter-attack on the spot to slow down the opponent's advancement. If necessary, you have to defend back to this position. 'Pep Guardiola drew a line behind the midline. You have to be very deep in defending, and you have to get back to the front line as quickly as possible when you counter-attack, which is very different from where you've always been in the front, and it's a challenge to your ability to run. ”

"I thought, I'm fine." Toni nodded solemnly, and he stole a glance at Caracciolo, who had returned from his loan at Perugia this year. Judging from the requirements of this set of tactics, it is obvious that Caracciolo, who has more running ability, has a certain advantage, which makes Tony have a sense of crisis. However, he is still confident in himself and is still a regular in the team, at least for now, with more opportunities to perform than Caracciolo.

There's no reason why Caracciolo can't do what he can't. After all, in addition to running, he has an overall advantage in his ability to score, create chances, and carve out space for his teammates.

Pep Guardiola nodded, then turned his gaze to Baggio, "Robbie, this season's defense will start from the front. Of course, you're an exception, and you're not physically fit enough to finish the game in the high press, so you'll be the only one on the team who doesn't need to be involved defensively. ”

Baggio nodded, his body clear to himself. Although it is true that he was abandoned by many Italian coaches because he didn't like defense when he was younger, he has slowly begun to try to contribute a limited amount of defensive ability to the team in the middle and late stages of his career. It's just that as he gets older, his running ability declines more and more, and his defensive ability is really not very good, so now the team has given him tactical privileges, and he is happy to accept this preferential treatment.

Focusing more on offense than on defense is a good thing for the team and for him.

But Pep Guardiola gave Baggio privileges, not because of his transcendent position at Brescia, but because he had more work to do.

"Robbie, even though you don't have to defend, you still have to allocate every bit of energy you have in the game." Pep Guardiola pressed a button to switch the projector's picture to the next one.

'Even though you are on the right winger on the map, in reality your area is still in this area. He uses a laser pointer to draw circles on the screen. 'Tony's left, right and behind you have your range of movement, and you have to go back to midfield and do tandem work if necessary. Of course, we will try to avoid such situations, and Gigi and Mattuzarun will often plug in to help you form a partial numerical advantage. ”

"So, even though I'm a right winger, I'm actually doing what I used to do, right?" Baggio asked.

"Broadly speaking, yes. But there are a lot of variations in specific situations. Guardiola nodded. Robbie, to be honest, you're not too young anymore, so we're going to have to give more work to young people. ”

While saying this, Guardiola looked at Zhang Shu. "Zhang, your work is the heaviest and most important of this set of tactics. So I want you to listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. ”

Zhang Shu, who was still squeezing his eyebrows with Viviano before, immediately sat up, "Say Pep, I listened to the class seriously, I was a good student when I was studying." He said shamelessly.

Guardiola ignored the words he didn't understand, and he continued.

"Zhang, this season will be a real free man. You mark the position as a left winger, but in reality you are our left winger, our right winger, left midfielder, midfielder, right midfielder and sometimes a midfielder. You don't have a fixed position on the pitch, from our 30-metre zone to the opponent's goal line, from the left wing to the right wing, it will be your range of movement. ”

'When attacking you're going to be the first guy I'm looking for, when you're on the wing, you can cut inside as a winger, you can cross as a wing-back, you can even take the ball to the midfield. In the same way, when you receive the ball in the middle, you can also choose to go to the wing. You have the most freedom and possession of the ball, and you have the most responsibility for the team. ”

'Because of the change in your position, other people will also work with you in your position, and that's the focus of the team's training after today. When you're playing as a midfielder or a central midfielder, our formation is 4312; When you're a wing-back, with Matuzaren or Gigi coming in and Robbie moving forward or dropping back, the team becomes a 442 or 4231 in a disc position; When you're a winger, I'll cut forward and change the formation to 4213. These are relatively simple changes, and if you count the full-backs, there will be more changes in the future. ”

"Your running position is the baton of the team's formation, your position is the direction of our attack, and the identity you choose determines the way you attack next, so Zhang, you have to have a clear understanding at all times and make the right choice according to the form on the pitch."

"When the opponent's defense is empty on the wings this time, we play a formation that is suitable for attacking on the wings, and when the opponent's attacking defense is too high this time, we play a formation that is suitable for counterattacking. I believe that in the future of football, the role of the pre-match formation map will eventually become just a picture of the player's name before he goes on the pitch, and the player's real movement on the pitch will never be limited to the position he filled in when he came on the pitch. In a game, the formation of the team changes with every attack, every defense. And we will be the pioneers of the times. ”

Closing this impassioned statement, Guardiola looked at his shocked teammates below with satisfaction.

The room was silent, and everyone was frightened by Guardiola's whimsical tactic.

Only Zhang Shu's face was excited.

"So, the whole team will revolve around me in the future?" He asked.

Pep Guardiola nodded, "That's right, so you have to make the right judgment." I believe that as long as you judge correctly on the pitch, we will be invincible. Because we're going to be playing football ahead of its time. ”

In fact, in Guardiola's mind, this is not the most perfect team in his mind. Brescia's lack of quality is one thing, but more so because their minds are still in the old school of football of the last century.

If a team where everyone can rely on their own thinking, switch their roles at the right moment, no longer stick to their position on the pitch, and they also have the ability to play in other positions, the full-backs can become shadow strikers, the centre-backs can step forward as playmakers, the midfielders can shoot and score like the front, and even the goalkeeper can rush out of the box like a defender to become a scavenger at the back, then such a team is a truly perfect team.

But Brescia's players are not able to do this at the moment, for example, in this formation, because there is no authentic full-back, Di Biagio and Mattuzalen will not be able to attack on the flanks enough to reach the level of Filippini or Bacchini when they go to the wings, which leads to the fact that the other side of the forward line will become the weak side in the attack, except for Zhang Shu. For example, Brescia's players are not strong enough to pass and receive the ball, and the player's running speed can never compare to the flying speed of football.

Fortunately, Brescia still has Zhang Shu, his presence allows the other players of Brescia to run according to the pre-determined tactical position according to Zhang Shu's position, and the strong ability to break the game also makes the offensive shortcomings of the weak side players seem to not cause too much weakening of the attack power. In the formation change of offensive and defensive transition, relying on Zhang Shu's huge range of activities and reassuring dribbling is not easy to cause the team to be broken and seize the loophole to counterattack.

After talking about the attack, Guardiola began to explain the defensive strategy for the new season.

"Zhang, from this season onwards, you have to get used to being involved in defense."

Zhang Shu's face that was still smiling just now instantly turned bitter. "I'm the core! Core eh! How can the core of the team need to do this kind of coolie! He muttered, as if he had been wronged.

"It's not just you, everyone on the team except Robbie needs to be more actively involved defensively." Pep Guardiola glanced at the other players sitting below. "When we change formations on the pitch, there will definitely be some flaws, which requires us to start counter-attacking as soon as we lose the ball, so as to delay the opponent's ball speed and reduce the opponent's passing accuracy."

"Whether it's a frontcourt player or a midfielder, you have to press the opponent, when the opposing player has the ball, we have to form a numerical advantage against the player with the ball in the local area, and we have to cut off the passing route of the player with the opposing team when we are in the siege, and everyone, regardless of the distance from the football, must stand between the football and the opposing player who is closest to them. It takes a lot of running and physical effort to meet such a requirement, so in the rest of the training, we don't reduce the amount of physical training, which can be hard, but the results will tell us that it is all worth it. This season, we're going to surprise Europe! ”

Guardiola nodded to Mazzoni, returned the laser pointer to the old coach, and walked off the podium.

He walked past his brooding, sluggish, excited, or distressed teammates and sat back in his seat.

The facts will tell everyone that my theory is correct! He clenched his fists and thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
