Chapter 155: The Choice of Coach

After training, Seydoux called Puel to the office.?? Eighty-one? Chinese Network (8) ??.? 8?1?

"Claude, what are you going to do with Reeves in the future?" Seydoux has the illusion that Reeves has been at the heart of the team's attack in recent games, and if Puel is not prepared to make changes, he won't have to bother.

Puel was a little puzzled, not knowing why the chairman asked, but he still told the truth.

"I'm going to take back Reeves' offensive privileges and use him like I did at the start of the season."

Seydoux secretly screamed badly, it seems that today's conversation will not go well, but he doesn't know why Puel wants to make a change.

"Why? He's doing well, isn't he? ”

'Yes, I gave him a lot of freedom after the win against Lyon, he did well, he has credit for the team's results so far, he is the best young man I've ever seen. Puel made no secret of his affection for Reeves, but it was the overall interests of the team that prevailed, "However, now the team relies on him too much, and he is in good form and naturally kills all sides, but if he is not in good form or injured, the team will be in trouble." ”

Seydoux nodded, he knew the ball, so he knew that Puel was right, it was dangerous for the team to rely too much on one person. Understanding is understanding, but he didn't intend to support Puel in doing this, and after considering the wording, he said slowly: "Claude, I haven't asked you for so many years, right?" ”

Puel nodded suspiciously, in his opinion, Seydoux is the best chairman, fully supports his work, never interferes with his team construction, except for a little stinginess, he is basically the most perfect chairman.

"Then I'll make a request to you today."

"Well, you can say it." Puel was upset, the chairman rarely made a request, this must be a hot request.

"I hope you can make Reeves swing to his heart's content!"

Puel was in no hurry to agree, he was waiting for Seydoux to explain.

"You see, Reeves has performed well during this time, but you have to adjust his positioning, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have ideas, and when the time comes, there will be conflicts, which will outweigh the losses, it is better to continue to trust him, maybe he will bring you unexpected gains."

"Tell the truth!"

"The club is too poor, let Reeves brush up the data and exchange more money in the summer to build a new stadium." Seydoux looked extremely pitiful.

Puel knew that Seydoux had been busy raising money for the new stadium for several years, and that building a new stadium was the most important thing for the club, but for Puel, the title was just as important, and Puel got into thought.

The quiet in the office was a little scary, Seydoux was worried about the conflict with Puel, and choosing Puel as the head coach of Lille was the most correct decision in his life, under the leadership of Puel, Lille gradually grew from a middle and lower team to a club with championship strength, and the outstanding results gave Seydoux the confidence to build a new stadium.

Just when Seydoux was about to give up,

'Well, the league will depend on the situation, the Champions League is not our focus this year, I will set a stage for him.'

Puel's voice sounded heavenly to Seydoux.

"I have a small request, though."

"You just mention it!" Seydoux, whose demands were met, was full of pride.

"I need to keep half of the money from Reeves' transfer as additional transfer funds for next season."

Momentarily filled with pride and hesitation, Seydoux's hand unconsciously touched the calculator on the table, and Puel looked at it.

"It's worth 2ooo euros, and I'll help you sell Keita for a good price."

Seydoux rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

-------------------------------------

During training the next day, Puel called Reeves to the sidelines.

"You get ready, I've decided to change formation."

Reeves pricked up his ears, since the victory over Leon, he has replaced Keita as the core of the attack, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, let him go to Keita again, he is naturally unwilling, not to mention that Keita is still in the reserves.

"The team is going to play as a double striker, and Nicholas will be another striker, but he's not your battery, he's your partner."

This is Puel's compromise plan, and it may be difficult to return to the tactics at the beginning of the season, the psychological gap is likely to cause contradictions between the generals, and the decline in the offensive sequence ranking will definitely affect Reeves's data, the chairman is not easy to explain, Puel thought about it all night, and the double center forward is the best choice.

When Reeves is in good shape, let Fowegay play for him, and when Reeves is not in good shape, let him play Forwegai, so that there is double insurance, and most of the time Reeves's offensive core position is not affected.

Plus, there's the added bonus that with Puel's knowledge of him and his friends standing by his side, Reeves won't be too selfish.

"Really?" Reeves said in surprise that his first thought was not that his offensive power could be shared, but that his friend had finally come out, and Forwegay had performed well in the limited bench time this season, but his characteristics were relatively single and could not be used as a single striker, so he could only be Reeves' backup.

Puel thought Reeves had an opinion and explained: "This way you can get familiar with more style of play, after all, a single striker is the trend of the future, but a double striker is the mainstream now, and with him in front, you have more opportunities to swing." ”

The two-striker tactic did not affect him much on the surface, so Puel's remarks made Reeves think that he was thinking about him, plus his friend was on the top, and he was full of joy at this time, how could he have the heart to figure out the real reason for the change of formation.

"But this has to be adjusted slowly, and it is estimated that we will wait until after the winter break to change the formation."

"It won't take long, I'll work hard with Nicholas to try to get together in the next game."

Puel looked at the back of Reeves who went to report the good news to his friend, there is still a consideration for the two-striker tactic, that is, to prepare for Reeves' departure, there is no one in the team who can replace Reeves to play a single striker, and then the double striker will become the main tactic, in his vision, Fowegay will occupy a position, and the other seat will be left to Milares, the Belgian has good talent, and has performed very well in the reserve team recently, so he can be brought up as a substitute to familiarize himself with the style of play, and focus on training next year.

-------------------------------------

In the next training session, Puel rehearsed the two-striker tactic, and it turned out to be very effective.

Reeves and Forwege's tacit understanding is cultivated over the years, and there is no need for practice at all.

This strengthened Puel's idea of changing formations.

In the new tactics, strikers Reeves and Forweguet, Milares and Kluivert are substituted, and Dimon is taken in midfield, leaving Cabaye and Bodmeier two B2B midfielders, with other positions unchanged.

In training, the new tactics made Reeves like a fish in water, it turned out that Foweguet was a substitute, Cabaye was a midfielder, and he cooperated the most with only Debichy, although the tacit understanding with others has also improved a lot, but it can't be compared with the partners who get along day and night. Now there are three people in the main lineup who are his best friends, Foweguet left forward, Debich right winger, and Cabaye midfielder are the closest to his position, and the tacit understanding value has reached the heart, so football is comfortable to play.

Little did Puel know that his compromise tactics had activated one of Ligue 1's most powerful attacking combinations up front. (To be continued.) )
