"To change, or not to change......" At halftime, Wang Shuai sat in the locker room and hesitated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

His change has two meanings.

The first is a substitution.

Wang Shuai can clearly see from the system that the mental values of the current starters are basically around 50, and the substitute players are not high, with an average of less than 70. Wang Shuai has long known that if the mental attribute drops below 40, the probability of injury will be doubled. In this way, from the perspective of mental attributes alone, it is time to replace the players who are in better form.

It's just that Wang Shuai also knows one thing very well, that is, if you replace the substitutes now, these older players will consume their physical energy faster, and their mental attributes will decline faster, and whether they can last 45 minutes is also a question. Therefore, if you analyze it from a global perspective, it is the best choice to wait until the mental attributes of the starters drop to 40 before making substitutions.

And if you choose this way, you will face the second problem, that is, whether to change tactics.

Based on the physical exertion in the first half, Wang Shuai can estimate that if he continues to use defensive tactics, these starters can hold on for about 20 minutes. However, with the consumption of physical energy, even if defensive tactics are adopted, the defensive intensity will continue to decline, so the current one-goal lead is not safe. But if you choose to attack, whether you can score or not is another matter, and the aggravation of physical consumption alone is not something that the team can bear.

After thinking about it, Wang Shuai still decided not to make any adjustments to the lineup and tactics, that is, to adopt the option with the least physical consumption. Because in his opinion, even if he loses this game, it is just a league game. But if a player has an injury, it affects more than just one game. Not only the league, but also the cup and European competitions will be affected. If you think about it this way, it is clear which is more important.

……

At the beginning of the second half, Villa's lineup did not change, the tactics did not change, and even Wang Shuai's instructions to the players were only a simple sentence:

"On the premise of sticking to the goal, try to save your energy as much as possible."

The Villa players did not know why for such instructions. But out of trust in Wang Shuai, they still did it. As for the approach, it is simpler, zone joint defense, reduce running.

Each football power in the world has different technical and tactical plays. England and Germany, on the other hand, relied on the representation of the body. It's just that the two countries are different, Germany's tactics are commonly known as "bulldozers", that is, the "no-striker tactics" that rely on the penetration of short passes in the midfield, while England is a long pass and hanging, relying more on the body of the striker.

However, whether it is a long pass or a short pass penetration, against the physical-based tactics, the zone defense is the best defensive strategy. If you can't fight each other with your own body, then use the number of people to make it up, and if you can fight each other, it will be even more effective with half the effort.

As a traditional English team, with the manager and most of the squad also homegrown players, Everton's tactics are naturally very much in line with the country's character. In such a situation, Villa's defense naturally greatly reduced Everton's attacking efficiency.

As a result, until 25 minutes into the second half, Everton still failed to equalise at home stadium. At the same time, because Everton has been attacking and Villa has been defending, and it is a regional joint defense tactic with relatively little physical consumption, Villa, who was originally physically disadvantaged, is now on par with the opponent.

……

In the 70th minute, both teams were almost exhausted, and the two managers also made substitution adjustments.

Villa's side unsurprisingly replaced the attacking players with defensive players, while Everton changed the soup but not the medicine, both of which were swapped for the corresponding positions.

It's just that what the coaches of both teams didn't expect was that this substitution became a turning point in the game.

Substitution adjustment means changing the team lineup. Even if the substitute players have a high degree of run-in with the team's tactics, it will take a few minutes for the team to adapt to the sudden change of a few people on the spot.

Now that both teams are making substitutions at the same time, it means that Everton and Villa are facing tactical adaptation problems at the same time. It wasn't a big deal, and under normal circumstances, it wouldn't happen at a time like this, and Everton didn't think about what to do with that time, they were still thinking about waiting for the squad to be full, and then the final ten minutes would be played.

However, the ball after this dead ball is Everton, and they don't play defensive or possession tactics like Villa, so Everton with the ball has no choice but to attack. Even if it's just a meaningful attack, it's an attack.

As a result, no one expected that so many previous attacks with all their might did not work, and this unintentional attack really became a reality.

……

Although Everton's substitutions have not changed, the focus of different players is definitely different. For example, the forward midfielder who was replaced is better at organizing attacks, and the substitute forward Kurem, his registered position is actually the second striker, which is commonly known as the shadow center, and the second position is the forward midfielder. In other words, what Cullum is best at is using speed to create chances, just like the role of Wu Shi in the third-line formation.

At the same time, each tactic has strengths and weaknesses. Villa's current zone defense is indeed very restrained in the "single" type of tactics that rely on the body to eat, but in the face of speed-based offensive tactics, such a defensive strategy is not so smart.

So, although only the new Coolham in the Everton team is "speedy", it is precisely because of the physical strength that has just come on the field, coupled with the characteristics of Coolham that just restrain Aston Villa's defensive tactics, the newborn calf actually went through layers of defense to the heart of Villa, and then shot with his feet to equalize the score.

The player who just changed scored a goal, and everyone will feel that the coach's arrangement is too reasonable. But people look around and see that this is not the case. The Everton coach had just returned to the dugout and sat down, and he didn't even seem to realise the equaliser had been equalised.

The coach really didn't realize that he scored less than a minute after coming on the field, which no one could have imagined, but it just happened. When he noticed that everyone around him, whether it was the assistant coach or the substitute players, all started cheering, and even began to hug him, the late manager realized what seemed to be happening and turned his head to look inside the field.

Then, he froze.

That's the equalizer?!

Are you kidding?!
