After the World Cup, the nine young players have been settled, and the time has come to the end of July. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the new season, Villa's schedule has also changed a lot from last season.

First of all, Villa, who won the Premier League and FA Cup last season, qualified for this season's Community Shield. The Community Shield has a history of more than 100 years in England, and after the establishment of the Premier League, the Community Shield (author's note: it was called the Charity Shield at that time, changed to the Community Shield in 2002) was also fixed, and was played before the start of each season's Premier League, against the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners of the previous season. In other words, at the beginning of August, Aston Villa will face Liverpool in this season's Community Shield.

Then, Aston Villa, who won the Europa League, will also participate in this season's UEFA Super Cup. The Super Cup, like the Community Shield, is a single-leg, single-game tournament between the Champions League winners and the Europa League winners from last season, and the tournament starts in August. Therefore, after the Community Shield, Villa will also play the Super Cup against Barcelona last season's Champions League winners.

Finally, and most importantly, Villa's European competition this season has been promoted from the Europa League to the Champions League.

The reason why this last point is the most important is of course because of the status of the Champions League in the hearts of European teams. In fact, not only the Champions League, but also the AFC Champions League, the AFC Champions League and the Copa Libertadores are more important than the local leagues in the hearts of clubs on all continents.

For Wang Shuai, the more important point is that if he can win the Champions League, then his coaching level can be promoted to senior professional coach. In fact, it is not necessary to win the Champions League, the level task given by the system is the Champions League championship or three first-class championships. Although it seems that it is easier to win three league titles with the current quality of Villa, after all, the Premier League team's record in the Champions League has not been very good, but if they can win the Champions League this year, it is certainly better to be promoted a year earlier. (Author's note: Last season's Premier League title is also credited to the current level task, so Wang Shuai only needs to win two more Premier League titles to be promoted.) ）

Although the Premier League is classified as a first-tier league in the system, and even ranks second, this is because there are more teams in the Premier League than in any other league. It's just that there are many strong teams in the Premier League, but there are no teams with real top strength. For example, the Bundesliga and La Liga, although in terms of the number of strong teams, the two leagues together are only equal to the Premier League, but the hegemony of these two leagues, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid, the strength of these three teams is much higher than that of the Premier League teams, which is why Premier League teams rarely win the Champions League.

Therefore, although Villa won the Premier League title last season, Wang Shuai also knows that it is really difficult to put Villa in the Champions League competition and win the title.

Then look at Wang Shuai's tasks this season, the Premier League, the Champions League, the Community Shield, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup, these six events are Wang Shuai's seasonal tasks. In terms of experience points, the FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield are the lowest, only half of the Premier League, the Super Cup and the Champions League are 50% higher than the Premier League, and even the experience value of qualifying for the Champions League group is higher than that of the domestic cups. It's just that neither the Community Shield nor the Super Cup are rewarded for the top scorer and the best assist.

Then the goal of this season is obvious, the Community Shield and the Super Cup are only one game at the beginning of the season, and this one must be to win. In the other four competitions, the Champions League is obviously the most important, but the difficulty of competing for the championship is there, so Wang Shuai's goal of the Champions League is to qualify for the group, and the championship will be talked about when the time comes.

And in addition to the Champions League, the Premier League title is a must. On the one hand, as the defending champions, Villa have the quality. On the other hand, it is easier to win the Champions League once in two years, or two Premier League titles, so if the Champions League cannot be won, Wang Shuai can only win two more Premier League titles as soon as possible if he wants to be promoted to a senior professional coach.

After that, the FA Cup and League Cup will depend on the fixtures. If the cup schedule clashes with the league or the Champions League, unless it reaches the semi-finals or the final, then don't even think about it, it will definitely be the cup that will be abandoned.

In addition to various competitions, Wang Shuai also has a plan this season, which is to improve TF-BP tactics.

Although there is a "TF" in the TF-BP tactic (author's note: total-football, full attack and full defense), in fact, the current tactic is still based on passing and control cooperation, and there is rarely a shadow of full attack and full defense. And what Wang Shuai wants to do this season is to increase the weight of all-out offense and defense. As for the way to improve, it is to accelerate.

The most classic all-offense and all-defense tactics are not fixed players' positioning, and they play the role of which position they run to. Although Wang Shuai didn't want to do this, he could also make the players more comprehensive, just like the midfielders can insert long-range shots, and the full-backs can also participate in the wing attack. In order to do this, the most important thing is that the speed of the players can keep up with the changes in formation.

The reason why Wang Shuai has this idea is because of the ability shown by Zhou Aniu in the World Cup. If you just treat him as a heavy gunner and knead it into the existing tactics, firstly, the offensive lineup will look bloated, and secondly, if you focus on ball-possession tactics and add a Zhou Aniu, the flexibility of the formation will be greatly reduced. Therefore, simply accelerate the overall formation of the team, as long as the players are moving, then whether it is the problem of bloated lineup or the problem of flexibility, it will be solved.

In order to achieve this, in addition to getting the players used to the sport, it is also necessary to familiarize them with the style of play in various positions in the attack. It can't be said that a striker runs to the position of the forward midfielder and is still playing according to the position of the striker, this is definitely not good. Fortunately, David, Ibrahimovic and Ribery are not fixed in one position in the original world, so the new tactics are not a problem for the three of them at all. Wu Shi is not a big problem, he actually played the position of shadow striker last season, which is originally between the center forward and the forward midfield, so Wu Shi is also familiar with the playing style of various positions in the midfield.

The only problem is Zhou Aniu, in a few games in the World Cup, he is only responsible for shooting when he is forward, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else at all, which is also a standard heavy gunner's style of play. But now it doesn't work, if the speed is raised, Zhou Aniu is obviously not only responsible for long-range shots, passing, organization, and running without the ball, he has to be responsible, and for Zhou Aniu, who has always been a defensive giant, these are obviously more difficult.

So in order to smoothly improve TF-BP tactics, Wang Shuai set a task for Zhou Aniu and practiced!
