The press conference finally ended according to the normal procedure, and the war with some media has also come to an end for the time being, these are intangible wealth, Li Haolong's experience. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the press conference, Li Haolong took the new players to practice with the team, No. 2 had a game with Cardiff, Di Matteo only had one day to inspect the players, and the first line team already had 29 people, plus these 6 have been seriously overnumbered, and some of them must be rented or sold, which is enough for this Italian to hurt his brain. English teams must have no more than 25 first-team players registered for each club, which must include more than 8 homegrown players, and can only apply 7 substitutes per game.

Li Haolong paid special attention to the first joint training and paid attention to the whole process, and the Walfast medical team also observed, recorded and measured the physical condition of the players. Because they are all in the middle of the season, the physical condition of the six new signings is quite ideal, and after the completion of each small training, Di Matteo has selected the team vests to 11 players, which seems to be the main lineup in his mind for the time being.

Judging from the players who sent his vests, he should choose the formation of 4231, goalkeeper Boone, left back is Amavi, left center back he chose Ben Kovic, right center back is Chester, Vallejo was unexpectedly assigned to right back, but he did play right back, and it is also in line with physical conditions, with feet and speed. The two midfielders on the left are Nzunzi, Weigel on the right, the three attacking midfielders on the left, Bacuna in the middle, Lincoln on the right, and Alario in the front. This formation has high requirements for the two full-backs, and they must be all-round players who can attack and defend well, and Vallejo defends without saying, and the attack is not yet known to be developed. Grealish and Lincoln are both playing on the backfoot front, Grealish is a player who likes to cut inside with his dominant foot, so he has higher requirements for the left-back, because all the space on the back side of the inside cut needs to be filled by him, and I don't know if Amavi can do it. And Lincoln's position Li Haolong still feels that he has a big role in the middle, he likes to control the ball at his feet and look for opportunities to plug through.

High-level players are relatively simple to cooperate with, even if they have just matched the team, because of the high level, it is easy to connect to the line, in the first half under Weigel's scheduling, firmly controlled the situation, Li Haolong roughly estimated, the possession ratio can reach 60% to 40%, and the score is also 3 to 1, the team's main offense is concentrated on the left side, Grealish and Amawi's turn of assault broke the right side of the substitute team, especially Amawi, the body is vigorous, rushing up and down, almost all the way, Li Haolong hadn't seen him so fierce in the previous two games, maybe he played it out when the back line was relatively stable.

Li Haolong especially found Amavi's information, only to find out that a pearl was missing, this Amavi is a demon-level genius, once known as the new Carlos, and some people even said that if it wasn't for his serious knee injury last year, Vera would not have been relegated. A closer look at his profile reveals that he made a horrific 147 interceptions in the 2015 season while still in Nice, the most in Europe, with 159 clearances and six blocks, 105 tackles (4.1 per game), and a 50% success rate. As a full-back, he is also very strong in headers, with a 53% success rate in one-on-one duels this season, as well as 2 header goals, attacking and retreating, good breakthroughs and speed bring continuous attacking threats, he can be an attacking playmaker, sharing worries and worries for the front line, averaging 1.9 successful dribbles and 76.5 touches per game, ranking first in the Nice team, showing a strong ability to have the ball. The only weakness is crossing, but this has improved a lot since the move to Villa, averaging 1.9 passes per game before the injury, surpassing only last season's Premier League player of the best Mahles Mahles and Eden Hazard's 23. The addition of strong team-mates also unleashed his energy, and both of Alario's goals in the first half came from him, one with a cross and the other with an inverted triangle. And the other goal came from Lincoln's free kick, breaking inside on the right side, creating his own penalty, the footwork is very good, the arc is very large, and the angle is very tricky. The team's only downside was a couple of mismatches between Chester and Benkovic, who had been doing well and almost all of his high balls were intercepted by him. Vallejo's right side is a little darker in comparison, but the defense is really needless to say, and Lincoln basically doesn't have to come back.

In the second half, Di Matteo made substitution adjustments, Vallejo returned to the middle, Hatton replaced Chester to play on the right side, Lincoln and Bacuna changed positions, this change, it was really more fluent, the defender defense completely withstood it, Vallejo was young but dared to command the back line loudly, even the 34-year-old Hatton quite recognized the deployment of this young player, Grealish, Bakuna, Nzonzi, Benkovic scored four goals in a row, and won the game smoothly, the morale was good, and the lineup was almost set.

That night, Di Matteo handed in the 25-man squad. Goalkeepers: No. 31 Boone (English, 32 years old), No. 1 Golini (Italy, 21 years old), No. 35 Sacic (Montenegro, 19 years old), No. 34 Johnstone (English, 23 years old). Defenders: No. 23 Amawi (France, 22), No. 2 Bakel (English, 25), No. 12 Chester (Wales, 27), No. 21 Hatton (Scotland, 35), No. 6 Elfik (English, 29), No. 4 Richards (English, 28), No. 5 Vallejo (West, 20), No. 3 Benkovic (Croatia, 19). Midfielders: No. 40 Grealish (English, 21 years old), No. 7 Bacuna (Curacao, 25 years old), No. 15 Westved (English, 26 years old), No. 25 Jedinac (Australia, 32 years old), No. 22 Gardner (English, 24 years old), No. 16 Nzunzi (France, 28 years old), No. 8 Lincoln (Brazil, 18 years old), No. 33 Weigel (Germany, 21 years old). Forwards: No. 44 McCormack (Scotland, 30 years old), No. 10 Ayew (Ghana, 25 years old), No. 11 Abang Rajo (English, 30 years old), No. 26 Coggia (Ivory Coast, 27 years old), No. 9 Alario (Argentina, 24 years old). The rest of the players will play in the reserve team for the time being, or list up as much as they wish, and try to find a good home for them. So far, the average age of the 25-man squad is 25.24 years old, and the main lineup is 24 years old, completing the first step of rejuvenation.

The squad soon reached the FA, and the away game against Cardiff City on 2 January was a day of excitement from everyone from the players to the Lee Ho Loong club.
