By the time of the second day's training, the atmosphere in Brescia had improved a lot. www.biquge.info The shadow of Barcchini's injuries looks like they're going to fade soon.

It's not that players don't care about what happens to their teammates, it's just that as professionals, we all have our own ways of adjusting our mentality. Those players who fell into a slump all day because of other things were eliminated as early as the youth team, and the players who were able to be promoted to the first team were much more mentally resilient than ordinary people.

Mazzoni has also started to adjust the mentality of his team, trying to make this an incentive for Brescia to keep going.

"I'm sure everyone knows about Jonathan's injury." After training, Mazzoni gathered all the players together. "It's really unfortunate for Barcchini. But that's football and I want you to focus on the next games. ”

'Bacini's injury is a big loss for him and for the team. But we should see why he was injured and that Bacchini paid a huge price to get into Europe with the team. No matter how much we feel sorry for him now, it's useless, so the biggest consolation for Barcchini is that when he returns, we will be able to hand him a ticket to the European arena. ”

"At that time, we can proudly tell him, Jonathan, we got your tickets for you! I think that's the gift of the return he would most like to see. ”

The players nodded solemnly.

"Keep up the good work for Bacchini!" The old man sent out the final mobilization.

"Yes!" The players replied neatly.

Having solved the team's morale problems, Mazzoni began to work on the changes to Brescia's squad.

Bacchini has been a long-time right wing-back and has played all of his games so far this season, with the exception of goalkeeper Sereni, who has been the longest-playing player in the team.

His wide combination with Finipini is an important part of Brescia's attacking system, and without their crosses, both Toney and Tare's intimidation will be greatly diminished. If the tactical center striker can't contain the opponent's back line, Baggio's space will also be compressed. As a result, Brescia's entire forward line is weak.

Therefore, Mazzoni will have to carefully consider Brescia's squad after the loss of Barcchini.

"Carlo, have you thought about the lineup for the next game?" Pep Guardiola walked into Mazzoni's office and was greeted by the old man's frowning brow and a tactical-drawn board.

"Pep, you're here, sit down." Mazzoni gestured to the stool in front of him.

Since Guardiola returned to Rigamonti, he has been a regular in Mazzoni's office. Although he has signed Brescia on a player contract, he has become more involved in discussions with the coaching staff.

Unlike Baggio, Guardiola has a clear vision for his career, having decided to become a coach after retiring. So when he left Barcelona, his first stop was the Italian league, which is known for its emphasis on tactical studies.

Mazzoni's request to participate in tactical discussions and learning was also an important reason why he chose Brescia in the first place.

"This sudden injury really caught me off guard." Mazzoni rubbed his temples with his hands.

Pep Guardiola took a closer look at the tactical board, and the lineup at the back did not change much, but the handwriting of the names of the frontcourt players seemed to be much messy, and many people's names still had traces of other people's names that had been erased.

"Was Jonathan the only one in the right midfield before the season?" Pep Guardiola asked.

"Absolutely." Mazzoni wrote Schop's name on the tactical board. After thinking about it, he erased it again and changed his name to Zhang Shu. "If it had been before, Jonathan's first substitute would have been Schop, but now I'm thinking about whether I can put Zhang in this position."

"It's hard for Zhang to cut inside on the right side. His dominant foot is right-footed, and he is more likely to be restrained by defenders when moving towards the middle with the ball. And the shot wasn't very smooth. Pep Guardiola reminded. And Zhang's cross is more dangerous than his in-cut. ”

"Yes, that's where I hesitate." Mazzoni nodded. "To be honest, Schop's strength is too much worse than Zhang's, but Zhang's strength on the right is also much less powerful than on the left."

Both in the office were lost in thought.

"Carlo, I've always been thinking about what kind of player Zhang is." After a long time, Guardiola took the whiteboard marker from Mazzoni's hand and walked to the tactical board.

"In my cognition, Zhang is definitely not just a nine-and-a-half." He turned and faced the tactical board. Zhang's aggressiveness spread almost all over the 30-meter range in front of the opponent's goal. He's more well-rounded than nine-and-a-half."

"Zhang's threat zone on the left flank is probably this area." Pep Guardiola drew a circle on the left in front of the penalty area.

"And when Zhang is active in the middle as a shadow striker, from here here, he can pose a threat to the opponent's goal." He drew a circle directly in front of the goal, framing the penalty area and the 30-metre range in front of the goal.

"If Zhang is on the right side, I think he can cross from here near the baseline," he said, nodding 30 meters from the goal on the right side, "from here to the middle, attacking this gap between the opponent's midfielder and the back line, attracting the opponent's attention and threatening the opponent's goal from the ribs." ”

Pep Guardiola drew two more circles on the right side and in front of the penalty area.

"You see, Zhang has attack power in these positions, like Robbie's nine-and-a-half, I don't think he can do such a full range of attacks as Zhang."

On the tactical board, the opponent's goal was almost framed by all four circles.

"So, if Zhang is able to stay aggressive in so many positions, why do you have to fix his range of motion?" Pep Guardiola handed the whiteboard pencil to Mazzoni and made a final summary.

"Not in a fixed position?" Mazzoni was stunned by Pep Guardiola's audacity. "Do you mean, let Zhang be a free man in the front court?"

"That's right," Guardiola nodded. "I've thought about it for a long time and I think that's the future of football. In the past, most of the liberos were midfielders, and their range of activity was in the middle, from their own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area. And Zhang, I think he can be a new type of free guy from side to side. ”

"Pep, you're thinking too much... Ahead of the curve ... Mazzoni shook his head. If your vision succeeds, it is indeed a major overhaul in the history of football tactics. But the change was too big and we didn't have that much time to make such a big change to the team's tactics. ”

Hearing Mazzoni's words, Guardiola's eyes darkened. "Ah, yes, you're right. This is not a change that can be made in a week. ”

"Don't be disappointed, Pep. At the end of the season, we'll talk about the tactics. Mazzoni reassured. At least for now, we can do a little experiment. ”

"It's too big to go from one side to the other, but we can try a smaller reform first."

"The scope of activity covers the reform of the liberals in the middle and on the wing."
