On May 13th, under Li Haolong's strong expectation, he came unwillingly with a hint of spring rain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Haolong had already known the weather conditions of this day through the weather forecast, prepared for the rain battle, and specially strengthened the training of long passes and long-range shots in the training a few days ago.

Finally walked on the court, Li Haolong, who was dressed in sportswear, followed the coaching team and stepped on the green field, standing on the sidelines that he was once familiar with, where there used to be a place for him, and now he finally has his own position, slightly different, but it is a transformation of reincarnation, he has stood on a broader angle, and the next stop is --- coach.

There was a familiar shout in his ears, but the difference was his state of mind, and a light rain was falling, blurring his eyes.

"Lee, come on!" Petrov shouted before he woke him up from his trance. Li Haolong set a rule that no one in the team was allowed to call him Mr. President, so now both the players and the coach call him that.

The players were already jogging in circles, Li Haolong stepped forward quickly, helped the other coaches take out some plastic plates and small flags from the bags, and measured them on the court.

As soon as he got busy, Li Haolong completely calmed down, and soon entered the role of assistant coach, after the players jogged, several coaches took the players in groups to do stretching exercises. Before the game, you must move the joints of the body and stretch the ligaments and muscles of the body to avoid injury during the game; Jogging and variable speed running are to raise body temperature so that the body can reach the sensitive state and body heat before exercise; Finally, combined with some ball training, such as juggling the ball, passing in pairs, heading, and small-scale offensive and defensive drills, to maintain the feeling and sensitivity of the ball; After the goalkeeper has done basic physical exercises, Walsh and Clemens are led by Walsh and Clemens to do low pounces, high catches and second get-up reflexes.

In between the warm-ups, the members of the physiotherapy team will also give the players some massage and stretching assistance, when there are not enough manpower, the medical team and the coaching staff have to do it, at this time Li Haolong is squeezing Enzongqi, this tall Frenchman showed a shy look, after all, it is Mr. Chairman, or in front of these tens of thousands of people to serve themselves, but Li Haolong didn't care, so he instructed him to pay attention on the field.

Tens of thousands of fans at the scene saw that their chairman was doing such intimate service to the players in the stadium, and they all burst into warm applause, shouting his name in unison, Li Haolong became the biggest star on the field, and the camera also captured a group of celebrities in the VIP room in time, and all kinds of knowing smiles flashed on the screen.

The weather forecast is like a woman's aunt, there are times when it is not accurate, and the UK is no exception, there is heavy rain, and I am worried that it will cause waterlogging, but from the current situation, the light rain has been drifting for a day, and the venue is in good condition, some slippery but not expected difficult.

Finally...... The race is on.

The Villa team, which is fighting at home, has started a new journey in the drizzle, and it is destined to be forever engraved with the journey of Li Haolong's imprint. Eleven players with Li Haolong's ardent hope, as soon as the opening launched a tidal attack, my home field, I am in charge, absolutely not flinching. Li Haolong deliberately stood behind Petrov, but his blazing eyes couldn't stop his fanaticism.

There is not much change in the starting lineup, goalkeeper Boone, Golini has not played for too long, even if you want to use Li Haolong, at this time, the guard line Amavi, Benvicchi, Vallejo, Hatton, the captain's armband is worn on the arm of the old Hatton; The midfielder dropped Jack Grealish for Frank Lampard in the hope of exploiting his long-range shot on rainy days, with Nzunzi, Weigel, Dembele and the long-lost Lincoln; The forward line is still Alario, the most plug-and-play player except for Nzonziweigel, who has scored 13 goals in half a year, and if it weren't for the slight lack of marksmanship, he would definitely be in the top 10 scorers.

The opposite formation is as Li Haolong expected, still using 433, and even the players have not adjusted, the three tall defenders are full of physical strength, Wagner knows that he will play long passes on rainy days, very targeted formations, and the second point of protection is also done well, withstanding the opening three axes of the combination of short passes by the captain of Villa.

Li Haolong was the first time to see the air defense capability of the opposing defender at the scene, seeing that the long pass was not very effective, 20 minutes had passed, and he coughed twice, Petrov understood, deliberately paced to the sideline for a while, shouted to the field, and gestured with his right hand to Weigel with two fingers. These are two sets of codes designed by Li Haolong and Petrov, Li Haolong's cough is the code with Petrov, and Petrov's gesture is the code with the team members.

It's not Li Haolong's intention to design so troublesomely, it's just that the Premier League broadcast camera is too powerful, and no action can escape the camera, such as Loew's nose picking, smelling his armpits, Messi's touch, and sometimes he can't even escape the interpretation of his lips. Think about that scene, what kind of picture would it be for an assistant coach to shout on the sidelines, Li Haolong didn't want to be caught in this regard, so he designed these codes, he jokingly called it the best stage to practice acting skills, so that it was later revealed that Li Haolong had the nickname of "cough brother".

This set of codes is actually complicated and not complicated, offensive codes: cough once, indicating that a short pass penetrates the middle attack, two sounds, play more behind the ball, three sounds, long pass rushing, four sounds, strengthen the side breakthrough cross, five sounds, defensive counterattack. Defensive code: sneeze and cough, one, including zone defense, two, tight man-to-man defense, three, mixed defense, four, tight frontcourt. The corresponding code for Petrov and the players is gestures, defending with the left hand and attacking with the right hand.

At this time, Li Haolong meant to play more behind him, and he had already seen that the turn of the left central defender Hefelai was indeed a little slow. The through ball close to the ground, with the help of the slippery field, rushed far away at once, giving full play to Dembele's speed to make him rush.

Weigel received the instruction, understood in seconds, and used the gap between the throw-in to convey the coach's tactical intentions to the players, Amavi and Dembele frequently inserted, Lincoln, Lampard, and Weigl began to constantly try to make a long pass through or over the top, but the slippery situation and strength of the turf were underestimated, and several balls were passed wide, and flew out of the bottom line against the turf, but this attempt was effective, and it was obvious that the opposing defender was a little embarrassed. Finally, in the 30th minute, Lincoln went straight to the plug, Dembele rushed into the penalty area like lightning, the combination of man and ball was very beautiful, and he stopped the buckle, shook off Schindler, who was in the position, and the opponent fell to the ground in desperation and pulled down Dembele.

Penalty, absolute penalty! The fans jumped up, but at this time, the referee Stroud's hand waved in the air, signaling that it was not a penalty, and made a gesture of a throw-in in front.
