Chapter 52: Frank Ribery
A little more than a month later, Wang Shuai returned to England. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
During this time, Wang Shuai and Nangong Zheng both benefited a lot.
Needless to say, the tactical concept of European football is much more advanced than that of Huaxia, coupled with the help Wang Shuai received from the system, the micro-tactical system of Youzhou Institute of Technology has successfully risen to a higher level. As the pioneers of micro-tactics, their tactical level can be said to have reached the top level in China. It's just that after all, the strength of the players is not strong, and Nangong Zheng is also a clever woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.
Nangong is leading Youzhou Institute of Technology such a team that is not strong, but it can rank seventh in the Chinese Super League, in addition to the tactical advantage, more importantly, Nangong is fighting against strong teams has its own philosophy, and this also made Wang Shuai find his own problem, that is, to give up the strengths and seek the weaknesses.
Wang Shuai's biggest tactical advantage is organization, no matter what micro-tactics, basically the bonus on ball control and passing is the most. But against the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham last season, Wang relied more on counter-attacking to find opportunities and ignored his own strengths. This means that Wang Shuai's luck has always been good, so he did not fall behind in the confrontation with these strong teams. In fact, this tactical style of play has completely handed over the initiative to the opponent, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will lose all the games.
And if Wang Shuai's best style of ball control is adopted and take the initiative to find and create opportunities, Wang Shuai feels that Villa also has the strength to fight with those strong teams. After all, judging from the possession alone, Villa is not inferior to those strong teams, and even surpasses them. Wang Shuai has always been clear about one thing, that is, the side with the advantage of possession is often the side with a larger winning rate. Therefore, for the new season and new league, Wang Shuai feels that it is necessary for the team to make some changes.
……
In addition to better tactical play, Wang Shuai also received a piece of good news after returning to England.
The club managed to recruit three of the five full-backs handed over to Jansa before returning home: left-back Herman Potts, right-back Jacob Lille, and full-back Jimmy Adam, who can handle both ways.
Heilman and Jimmy are both homegrown players who previously played for Southampton and West Bromwich Albion respectively. In both teams, both of these guys belong to the absolute core of the main force. Aston Villa are now short of full-backs, and these two will naturally have the same status as the team when they arrive. Coupled with Villa's strong form last season, the two simply couldn't find a reason to turn them down.
Jacob, on the other hand, is a French player who moved from Ligue 1 to the Chinese Super League due to poor form, but his two years in the Chinese Super League have been full of ups and downs, and he has repeatedly performed well. Now that he's back on the spotlight of a top-flight team, Jacob is happy to go, despite being a freshly promoted team. After all, he is now in the prime of his career, and if he can deliver a good report card in a higher league, he can obviously get himself a better contract in his later years.
With the addition of these three people, Aston Villa's squad for the new season has also been integrated, as long as the tactical run-in of the new squad is in place before the start of the season, the team can prepare for the campaign.
Before the end of the team's holiday, Wang Shuai added a newcomer to the team.
On July 1st, the first day of the new season, Dr. Ren Hong of the original world contacted Wang Shuai on time, and then sent the third "experimental sample", Ribery.
……
Ribery, whose full name is Frank Ribery, is a former world French footballer and one of the world's top left midfielders.
Franck Ribery's career began in France's fourth tier and is one of the kind of latecomers, moving to a new team on average every year. Until he was 22 years old, the French powerhouse Marseille took a fancy to him.
In his two seasons at Marseille, Ribery scored 14 goals in 68 appearances, and with this performance he was selected for the French national team in 2006 and finished runners-up at the World Cup in Germany in the same year. At the same time, Ribery's performances in the league and the World Cup have also been watched by another team.
In the 2007-08 season, Ribery moved to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, where he scored 16 goals in his first season, breaking his own history and officially starting his journey to fame.
In 2013, Ribery reached the pinnacle of his career, not only helping Bayern Munich to a third consecutive Bundesliga title, but also contributing to France's qualification for the World Cup.
It's just that in 2014, Ribery, who has become the world's top left midfielder, chose to retire bravely after being affected by a back injury, quitting the French national team, ending his 8-year career in blue. At the same time, his playing time at club level has been drastically reduced, leaving more time for his family. But it is undeniable that until Wang Shuai's crossing, Ribery still has an unshakable position in world football and is still an indispensable member of Bayern's wing.
……
Wang Shuai naturally raised his hands to welcome the arrival of this world-class superstar, but he also had doubts, because according to David's original statement, the third "experimental sample" to be transmitted should be Messi, not Ribery.
Regarding Wang Shuai's question, Ren Hong also gave their reasons. As young and famous geniuses, David and Ibrahimovic's experimental data is sufficient, and there is no need to use Messi for experiments. And to teleport Ribery over is to see the impact of parallel worlds on potential.
In fact, Wang Shuai's question was just a casual question he asked, in fact, he didn't want to know about the experimental project in the original world, and he didn't know so much at that time. And no matter what happened in the original world, Wang Shuai only knows one thing now, that is, the arrival of Ribery, and Villa's left side has also been a strong addition.
Villa's current left-sided midfielder is 23-year-old Lowry, a young player with enough quality and potential to establish himself in the Premier League. However, if Wang Shuai's current coaching level is to be upgraded, he still needs a first-class league championship, so Villa's goal in the past two years must be to compete for the Premier League title. And under such a goal, Laurie's strength will seem to be a little unable to keep up with the pace of the team.
Originally, Wang Shuai planned to use Laurie to barely cope with it in the new season, because after completing five transfer deals, the team's current financial situation is no longer enough to support Wang Shuai to buy a new left midfielder. As for the team's previous main players, Wang Shuai did not plan to trade them, after all, after the reintegration, the average age of the team is young, and those old players are still needed to provide game experience. The previous team substitutes, even if they were traded, the financial funds obtained were a drop in the bucket, and they were still not enough to strengthen the team again.
Now the arrival of Ribery has just solved this problem, not only is the strength enough, but it is also free.
However, just when Wang Shuai thought that he had taken a big advantage, reality gave him a blow to the head.
The next morning, Wang Shuai came to the youth team training ground and met Ribery, who is famous for his "scarface". After a few words of greeting, Wang Shuai opened the player information panel, and then saw a scene that made him stunned.
The left-midfielder, now only 18 years old, has the attributes of a junior professional and has only 127 potential.
