202. New Tactics (Part I)

PS: Brothers and sisters who like this book, ask for monthly passes, tips and subscriptions.

England in the first half of the game, most of the time was actually a failure, don't look at the more than half an hour around Russia bombardment, in fact, there is not much technical and tactical content, it is completely dependent on the strength of the players to fight alone, it seems to be lively, but in fact the efficiency is extremely low.

This disappointed the top 23 spies who were ambushed in the crowd, and even wondered why their manager asked them to focus on England, which had no technical or tactical content at all.

The only thing that makes them feel interesting is England's number 9. Thanks to the development of the Internet and the praise of the media, Qiansheng is no longer as popular as some well-known stars in this European Cup.

However, they only saw Qiansheng's ability to grab points worthy of his name, and after that, because Russia changed its tactics and sandwiched Qiansheng with three people, Qiansheng never performed well.

There's no way, there's no ball at your feet, and just running doesn't show your ability. And the man in the bag is very thief, does not make physical contact with Qiansheng, and does not foul when defending, and does not give England a chance to take set-pieces in the frontcourt.

At halftime, these spies called the coach one after another, and after reporting the situation, they also asked if they wanted to continue watching, and in the end, it was the spies of traditional powerhouses such as Germany, Italy, and Spain who continued to stay.

Because they intuitively felt that in the second half, England would definitely make changes, after all, if they couldn't win the first game, they would be under huge pressure on the young Three Lions, and Wales and Slovakia behind them were not weak, and if they were not careful, they might be eliminated. So if they want to win Russia, England will have to make adjustments in the second half, and they feel that the key to the adjustment lies in the first half of the target Qiansheng, after all, they were very impressed by the performance of the friendly Qiansheng.

"Boss, even if you change tactics in the second half, you don't have to replace me, right?" Wayne Rooney, with a somewhat disgruntled face, said.

The other players looked at each other and made substitutions in the second half, even for tactical reasons, no player could accept it. Because it's easy for fans to think that this person was substituted so early because of a bad performance, or a mistake, unless injured.

Qiansheng drank the nutritious water with a calm face, and leaned his back against the closet in the locker room with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Wayne, you were replaced for tactical reasons, not your performance. This new tactic requires strong execution and physical fitness to execute, and after James comes on the court, he can free the dry. There's a chance later, Wayne, it's not for you personally, it's for the team. Looking into Rooney's angry eyes, Roy Hodgson said calmly.

Qiansheng, who closed his eyes and rested, moved his ears slightly, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, his head was so cunning, I don't know if Wayne can hear the meaning of those words.

There's still a chance later.

This is a very meaningful word, but unfortunately Rooney didn't care, since the manager said so, as the captain, it is not good to openly oppose it in front of everyone, so I have to agree. Then, Hodgson laid out the tactical details of the second half to the players, and Qiansheng also opened his eyes, listened quietly, and continued to drink nutritious water in his mouth.

"Well done, guys!" Leondeni Slutsky clapped his hands excitedly and praised the players: "In the second half, continue the previous tactics, as long as you keep an eye on England's No. 9 and don't let him get the ball, even if you don't have a chance to score in the end, you can get a point, it will be a success." ”

The Russian players nodded excitedly, and Oleg Shatov smiled: "That No. 9 is not a big deal, the media like to exaggerate now, his goal just happened to be in that position, no matter who it is, it can score this empty goal." ”

Alexei Berezutsky looked at Shatov with a dissatisfied face and said, "You mean that whoever you are can score this goal in front of me?" ”

Uh, this is the big brother of the national team, where did Shatov dare to offend, and hurriedly laughed dryly: "I didn't mean that, Alexei ......"

With a snort, Alexei Berezukki said to Slutsky with a stern face: "Boss, I don't think that No. 9 is not playing with all his strength, and in this game, England's style of play is different from that of a friendly match, in case they change formation at half-time, how do we deal with it?" England will not accept a draw. ”

Igor Akinfeev, who performed bravely in the first half and saved a lot of dangerous balls, nodded and agreed: "Boss, we have to guard against England changing their tactics, and that No. 9 can't relax as long as he is on the field." But, Boss, if I continue to play with a three-man no.9, I can't guarantee that there will be so good luck not conceding in the second half, and those two strikers in England are, after all, a first-class striker who has scored more than 20 goals in a season. ”

Slutsky nodded, frowning and pondering, remembering that he watched Qiansheng's superman performance in the Premier League, and couldn't help but feel a deep headache. Without sending people to cut the connection between Qiansheng and the outside world, once he gets the ball, the threat to the goal is too great, and Qiansheng's free kicks, long-range shots, and assists are all powerful threats. So far, this terrible teenage killer has never returned empty-handed as long as he shoots, don't look at the first half Igor is like a god, like a god to save a lot of goals, that's because Harry Kane and Jamie Walty's shooting skills are not as perverted as Qiansheng, they belong to the category of normal people. If Qiansheng gets the opportunity to shoot, it is difficult to guarantee that Igor, who has played chicken blood, will not end the magical shooting rate of Qiansheng's bullets, this risk, he can't afford it, the sneak attack in the first half has attracted the attention of England, I want to do it again, the chance is not big, once the ball is lost again, the other party learns to be smart, retreat back and play a positional battle with himself, Russia has no chance of winning. With Alan Zagoev out injured, Russia's midfield now lacks creativity and is simply unable to create scoring opportunities in positional battles. This is also the reason why the current Russian team can only play defensive counterattacks in the face of a team that is stronger than itself.

"Aljem, use your height in the second half to assist the defense at the back, and you have the skills, you can participate in the counter-attack, you can contain the England team and not rush to press it all. Aleksandr, Oleg, if England continue to attack aggressively in the second half, I'll replace you and strengthen the team's defense, at least we have to get a point. ”

"Yes, sir." Aleksandr Samedov and Shatov looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

Although I really want to stay on the field, the manager's decision is unquestionable, otherwise, the end of going against the manager is to guard the water cooler in the future.

The half-time break passed quickly and the second half of the game began quickly. England made their first change before kick-off, with England captain Wayne Rooney replaced by No.4 James Milner and the armband worn on the arm of vice-captain Gary Cahill.

Seeing this substitution, the commentators who watched the England friendly match became excited.

"Hehe, Roy couldn't help it, and finally changed his formation." Gary Lineker scoffed.

"It's finally time to see for yourself the long-awaited new tactics from England." Frank Lampard and Jurgen Klinsmann are seen in the video smiling at each other.

At halftime, hearing Lineker talk about the new tactics shown by England in the friendly match, full of curiosity, Paul Merson and Charlie Nicholas explained this new tactic to the two of them with a smile on their faces.

This is a very rare "coach on the field" role in football, and the player who can play this role, since the advent of modern football, this kind of player is rare in a million, except for the Dutch football St. John Cruyff, the German football emperor Franz Beckenbauer.

Now that he knew that the 15-year-old Qiansheng was playing the role of two superstars, Klinsmann was so engrossed in watching the game that he lost interest in commenting on the game.

In the second half, England kicked off, Kane pulled the ball to Valty, and Vardy passed back to Qiansheng outside the center circle, and the two ran towards the front, not going deep into the front court like the previous half, but running slowly between the top of the arc of the center circle and the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

Qiansheng, who was holding the ball, looked at a group of serious-looking Russian players in front of him, smiled slightly, passed the ball to Milner, and then ran towards the backfield.

Seeing Qiansheng running backwards uncharacteristically, the Russian players were stunned all of a sudden, this is not scientific, isn't this No. 9 playing forward? Why didn't you rush over, but ran farther?

After England kicked off, it seemed that they were not in a hurry to attack, but they were passing in the midfield, and Qiansheng kept running between the position of the defensive first zone and the third zone of the midfield, directing his teammates to make frequent lateral passes in the midfield, but not passing the ball in depth.

This Nima is still a fart, the opponent doesn't attack at all, the Russian players look at each other, how can this ball be played?

Russian captain Roman Shirokov looked to the sidelines and asked how the ball would be played.

Slutsky frowned, his heart was very entangled, he didn't expect England to replace captain Rooney, Qiansheng retreated to the midfield, and played a friendly match I don't know what tactics are.

Although he has seen the footage of England's three friendlies, he knows that once the no.9 is withdrawn, England will play possession. But this tactic is usually used when England is ahead, and now it's just a draw.

Do England want to shake hands with themselves, take a point each, and stay in the fight for the next game?

Slutsky is not convinced, although I am fat, I am not stupid, there must be traps, traps, and conspiracies in this.

But what traps, what traps, what conspiracy, Slutsky said, the concubines don't know! (To be continued.) )
