Swansea coach Francisco Guidolin, who was only in the starting line-up half an hour before the game, was filled with 100,000 whys. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Why do Hull City play a back three, don't you know that the 4-2-3-1 formation is not afraid of a back three?

Why did Hull City rotate five players, not afraid of the lack of tacit understanding and causing the three lines to be disjointed?

Why do Ghanaian buffaloes, who are obviously at the back, play at central defender?

Why......

The Liberty Stadium, which was shrouded in a drizzle, was almost full of fans from both sides.

Due to the weather and distance, the goddess of Zhu Zeming did not come to Swansea with the team, and similarly, Hull City's vice-chairman Ehap Alam and the Dai siblings did not come to the scene, they were all watching live TV at home.

Only Bruce White and Liu Yichuan braved the wind and rain on the scene, the former is a Hull City fan, in order to get first-hand reports, no matter how far away the away road is, how bad the weather is, will follow rain or shine. Since the first game observation report and the video of Zhu Zeming's game were recorded and transmitted to the Huaxia headquarters, it caused a huge response from Chinese fans, which not only increased the sales of the sports weekly report, but also attracted the attention of Huaxia CCTV, preparing to broadcast the major match between Hull City and Manchester United next week.

Wearing a sportswear emblazoned with the Hull City crest, Darko Milovic with an umbrella and Mike Ferran with an umbrella stood on either side of the coach, watching the players on both sides as they prepared to kick off.

The starting line-up for the home team Swansea City is:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Lucas Fabianski

Defenders: No. 35 Stephen Kingsley, No. 2 Jordi Amat, No. 33 Federico Fernandez, No. 26 Kyle Norton

Midfielders: No. 8 Leroy Fair, No. 24 Jack Coke, No. 15 Wayne Routledge, No. 23 Gilvi Sigurdsson, No. 17 Modo Barrow

Forward: No. 9 Fernando Llorente

The referee officiating the match was Stuart Atwell.

Both spinach and expert fans are unanimously optimistic about a home win for Swan Lake, even if Hull City's upset win over defending champion Leicester City in the first game is also considered to have home advantage, plus luck.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, as the whistle blew, the third round of the Premier League match between Swansea and Hull City began.

It was the home team that kicked off first, and Hull City did not press as much after the kick-off as in the previous game, but compressed three lines in the defensive third zone and set up a bus.

"You're curious to know why I'm playing in the back three, right?" Niu Shuai put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his plain face exuded this powerful confidence.

Darko Milovic doesn't want to know, he likes to quietly watch Niu Shuai command the team to win one victory after another, as for whether to play four or three, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter how many defenders he has.

Mike Phelan was curious to know, of course, why he wanted to rotate five players and tell himself if he wanted to.

Niu Shuai is not a person who likes to explain to others, but he is a kind person, and he chose Hull City as the first game of his managerial career because he chose the right time, and the whole world knows what kind of situation Hull City was in at that time.

Demoting Phelan from assistant coach to first-team coach is just a means of gaining authority, in fact, most of Phelan's responsibilities are still similar to that of assistant coaches, because Milovic only does technical work, and the rest is left to Phelan to do.

Since the last game, Niu Shuai has consciously instilled his tactical ideas with Phelan, don't look at this 54-year-old man who has followed the Red Devils godfather Alex Ferguson for so long, but there is always a difference between assistant coach and head coach, if you really want to say who is the most suitable coach, Ferguson and Arsène Wenger will choose Niu Shuai immediately.

In addition to looking at Lao Fuye's face, there is also a reason that Niu Shuai knows that he will only stay here for one season, due to a large number of loans and visas, plus most of the first-team players will be sold, after a season Niu Shuai will leave the Dai brothers and sisters will be worse than this summer's first-team lineup, and Phelan is very likely to be reinstated or realize his dream, thinking of the mess left to him next summer, Niu Shuai, who is "guilty", decided to "impart" some "valuable experience" to him as compensation.

Niu Shuai is so kind.

Niu Shuai knew that Milovic was not interested, so he mainly told Ferran.

"Fei Lan, we have an old saying in China, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. It means that there is no immutable situation in the use of troops. The same is true for tactics. ”

Seeing Hull City set up the bus, Swansea continued to attack, as expected by Niu Shuai in the dressing room, relying on the height advantage of the Spanish center, played a wide cross, and used Sigurdsson's long-range shot to hit the goal when the cross failed.

"Don't look at Swansea's introduction of Spain's international center, but the departure of the original main striker has caused a decline in attacking power that the Spaniards can't make up for at present. With both Spanish strikers over 190 tall, it's clear that Swansea will be playing on both wings and crosses from the wings this season. ”

As soon as Llorente entered the penalty area, Davies was closely defended, and the Spaniard's body was looking for abuse in front of Davies, and several crosses were either not received or high.

"See, Swansea's style of play is as simple as that, just keep an eye on Llorente and Sigurdsson."

"Isn't that a bit of a waste of the back three?" Phelan said puzzled.

The single-striker formation is undoubtedly a waste for the team that plays the three-back formation, but Niu Shuai has his own opinion: "I said before that the army is impermanent, the formation is dead, and the people are alive. ”

Zone Attack and Defense Theory?

Phelan's eyes flashed, and one day there was a meeting, Niu Shuai, Milovic and the three of him, when chatting, Niu Shuai said one of his own tactical theories, that is, between a single area and area of the court, how to take advantage of the offensive and defensive aspects.

Because of the rainy day, the field was very slippery, so most of the time you could see the ball flying in the air, Atwell seemed to be a referee who didn't like to play cards, and several fouls were not played, also thanks to the fierce confrontation between the players on both sides, but there were no large-scale fouls.

"You take a good look at the performance of our defensive players, my back three, not a single one will be wasted." Niu Shuai's words were domineering, and Fei Lan looked at it attentively, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

It turns out that the back three can still play like this!
