Chapter 19: Tactics

"Daddy, this matter is actually very simple!" Paul smiled and picked up the coffee cup in front of him, took a sip of the pure Blue Mountain that was a little sour, and then said: "I just know a piece of information that has not been made public by the outside world, in fact, this is not a secret, but not many people know about it."

"Oh? What's the news? ”

'The Chelsea boss has changed!'

Gudmundson was surprised: "Substitution? ”

"Yes!" Paul nodded: "There is news that a wealthy Russian has bought a stake in the Blues, which is why Ranieri is so generous and bought our team's Joe Cole and Glenn Johnson for £180,000. ”

Gudmondson may not be a football expert, but he is certainly a very successful businessman, especially with considerable experience and knowledge of capital operation, and after listening to Paul's words, he immediately thought of many possibilities.

'Because of the rich people who have invested in Chelsea, in order to get the corresponding returns, Chelsea have to clean up their players at the same time, like the people who were originally between the youth team and the first team, right?'

"Yes!" Paul made no secret of his admiration for Gudmundson: "Daddy, your analysis is very accurate, like Hut, these three players, the future is still very bright, but the new owners of the Blues have invested so much, and the requirements are naturally very high, and Hut is in the growth period, and they are not perfect enough, so it is normal to be in the purge." ”

Gudmundson smiled and nodded: "Okay, Paul, you also know that I have a lot of business to deal with, and I can't always stay in London, so this part of the team's transfer will be handed over to you in the future, if you have anything you can't handle, you can call me, no problem, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Paul is certainly happy to be able to take the transfer reins into his own hands. After handing over the transfer to Paul, Gudmundsen handed over the financial reins to the Treasury Department, and by the end of June he was relieved to leave London, where he had too many things to deal with.

As the team is in the process of being rebuilt, Paul has no time to sit idle, and the combination of the existing players, Paul and Paul Goddard, Ludeck, Ashley Roberts, plus Pete Beardsley, who has just arrived in the team, has begun to study the team's tactical play for next season.

Paul is the head coach of the team, and the team should respect his opinion on what tactics to play, and in that dream that foreshadows the future, Paul admires Barcelona football very much, and the tactical play that perfectly combines attack and ball control is really exciting.

However, Barcelona's football cannot be replicated at all, it is a giant team in ten years, many managers and several groups of players persevered, and finally precipitated a rich heritage, even the star-studded galaxy battleship Real Madrid can't learn, let alone today's Hammers.

"Ding!" Paul lit a cigarette with a new Dupont lighter, felt the sour smell of the plum in the thick smoke, and his heart was filled with love for the cigarette in his hand again.

Paul didn't have a big habit of smoking, but he had too much to think about lately, and his addiction to cigarettes had grown, and Pete Beardsley and Ashley Roberts were both smokers, so he openly started smoking in the office.

"We've been talking about what tactics the team is going to play next season for two days, and I've designed a formation here to see how it goes."

After Paul finished speaking, he turned his laptop around and took another puff of cigarette before explaining: "This is a 4-1-3-2 formation, which is very common, but let me tell you a few special requirements for this tactical play I designed.................."

In the past year, Paul has been thinking about some tactics when he was systematically studying football theory, and finally he really designed a fairly mature and reasonable formation himself.

Paul's tactics are very balanced in attack and defense, and the team's offensive and defensive capabilities can be strengthened through player adjustments.

This tactical style of play requires the two full-backs to have some assist ability to support the midfield; The midfielder must have a certain ability to control the ball and pass the ball, and when the central midfielder in front of him rushes up to support the attack, the midfielder becomes the team's offensive organizer; The requirements for the two fullbacks are simpler, first of all, they must have good endurance and diligence, and then their breakthrough ability is not very weak, and if the quality of the cross is not good, they can also cut inside, but when attacking on the other side, he must rush to the front to outflank and support the attack; There are fewer requirements for two strikers, of course, the ability to score is a must, and the ability to control the ball and pass the ball on the left and right sides is enough.

Paul designed this set of tactical play, the most important core figure is the central midfielder, and the requirements for this player are also the most, passing, breaking, long-range shooting, scoring goals, offensive awareness, physical strength, etc., the requirements in all aspects are so high that it has reached the point of fingering.

Originally, the best candidate to play this position was Joe Cole, but he will play for the Blues Chelsea next season, so at the moment Paul chose Ellington as the stand-in, and the veteran Hutchison is a little worse, otherwise this position must be his.

After explaining this tactic, Paul lit another cigarette: "What do you think of this tactic?" Let's argue! ”

These people here are all insiders, listening to Paul's explanation, they have already deduced various changes of this set of tactics in their hearts, and when Paul finished explaining, everyone else also recognized this set of tactics that can be attacked, retreated and defended, including the newcomer Pete Beardsley, there is no one who dares to underestimate Paul, and the person who can design such a set of tactics is definitely a person who understands football and knows how to win. The young Hammer Gang boss in front of him is indeed a real material!

However, some people still raised questions, and Pete Beardsley frowned and asked: "Paul, in your set of tactics, the requirements for the central midfielder are too high, and this person should be the core of our whole team!" I haven't met Ellington, but I think .................. Well, with all due respect, I don't think this well-known player can handle this burden! I thought, should we consider bringing in a player specifically for this position? ”
