Although the team showed strong adjustment ability and tactical execution in the last game, Michu and Poyet agreed that the problems exposed by the team in the first half were the real goals that determined the team's final height, especially the level that the Forest team showed in the set-piece attack was what greatly disturbed Michu!

Had it not been for the two set-pieces conceded in the first half, Michu was confident that his side could have played a more convincing game in the second half, rather than just a point in the end!

If Michu's team can't effectively improve their defense in the next game, I believe that other teams will not let go of Leeds United's weakness, and it is estimated that Michu will have to be laid off by the end of the season!

Therefore, in the following week, in addition to continuing to practice the previous offensive tactics, the team focused on the route of the ball during the counterattack and the defense of set-pieces.

In the process of determining the set-piece defense strategy, the main disagreement between Michu and others is between zone defense and man-to-man!

Michu himself prefers man-to-man, but the coaching staff agreed that zone defense should be emphasized.

"Boss, only Marquis and Huntington have the strongest air defense in the team's regular starters, if people are marking, once our two big men are blocked by someone else's blocking, then the rest can only count on the opponent to fly! The team's personnel are not enough to meet the tactical requirements of man-to-man! After listening to Poyet's analysis, Michu also felt that it made sense! The man-to-man defensive strategy can certainly ensure that no attacking personnel is left out, but for the current situation where Leeds United are generally low in height and lack of heading ability, man-to-man is obviously not the most suitable defensive strategy for the team at the moment. However, zone defense can ensure the quality of the team's defense in important areas, and other players can also better cooperate with the two central defenders and the goalkeeper to do a good job of defence!

Although the results of these games are very ideal, Michu is not arrogant enough to think that these results are his own work! The coaching staff, led by Poyet, actually acted as a "translator" between themselves and the players, and their presence was able to ensure that Michu's ideas were translated correctly into the team's offensive and defensive language. At the same time, only when they correctly understand their own ideas can they come up with improvements, so as to ensure that the players can play the football that Michu wants!

This point is very precious to Michu now! If the other party doesn't cooperate with him, Michu will have to get an unemployment deposit!

"Then do what you want! In the future, it is also necessary to count set-piece goals scored and goals conceded in terms of data collection! We must pay attention to the cultivation of details! Alright, everybody, get your fat asses moving! Michu joked and made a gesture to get up and chase away, and everyone laughed and dispersed.

Compared to the problem of defending set-pieces, the team's problems on the counter-attack are no longer unsolvable. With the addition of Muller and Reuss, the team now has more players to rely on in the counterattack, and the front four are far higher than the previous combination in terms of mobility and coordination!

In the last game against Forest, in addition to the mistake on the set-piece, it was the problem of the point of the ball in the counterattack, and the opponent obviously studied Leeds United's counter-attacking tactics, and once Delph's connection with Beckford was severed, Leeds United's biggest threat was nipped in the bud!

In this case, the team only won a few long-distance free kicks, but the inefficiency of the counterattack and the lack of means of positional warfare were the main reasons for the passivity in the first half!

But the current front-court staffing can make it possible not to fall behind in both counter-attack tactics and positional battles! Even the counterattack has become sharper!

Therefore, even in the case of tight coaching staff and insufficient funds for the team, Michu still insisted on analyzing the game video and editing the opponent! Coaches including Poyet agreed that better offensive and defensive tactics can only be devised if they have a complete grasp of the opponent!

In view of the situation that the starters in the team are not tall, Michu and others racked their brains to design some set-piece offensive tactics, although the effect in training is good, but Michu still feels that counterattack tactics are his sharpest weapon at present, so Royce has now undoubtedly become the team's first propeller from defense to offense!

In fact, with the recent experience of professional competitions, Michu gradually has a clearer understanding of his coaching identity. Although he can't say that he is absolutely suitable for eating this bowl of rice now, Mi Chu still feels that he gradually has some opinions on how to lead the team!

Unlike in China, where there is always the phenomenon of laymen managing insiders, foreign professional teams have strict internal personnel determinations, and the head coach in the UK is more like a professional manager!

Although Michu used to work when he often had to understand the spirit of leadership, but when he gave orders, he found that the leader was sometimes not so easy to be, during this time, Michu experienced the feeling that he could not experience sitting in front of the TV before, and what Michu loved most in the past was Arsenal's football that would rather die standing than kneel to live! But after taking the helm, Michu gradually began to look at the relationship between the team's defense and offense in a new light!

Among them, in Michu's view, in fact, the most important team is defense at all, and the importance of defense cannot be overemphasized in Michu's opinion!

At the beginning, Michu still fantasized about playing a mercury attack, but when he arrived at the training ground, Michu realized that even if a person can pass a defensive line, there is no guarantee that he will be able to score 100% goals, not to mention that sometimes it is impossible to do it. However, on the contrary, the defense is much different, and Michu gradually found that as long as the defense is stable, he can easily play a smooth counterattack, which is undoubtedly the best way for Michu to find to ensure the team's victory at this stage! You must know that even Professor Wenger has once had defensive monsters like Boulder, Vieira, Gilberto, and Campbell! A team that doesn't defend can't win the championship! This is also the reason why Michu did not cause the team to cause a large decline in results because of his blind command after he took over the team in a hurry.

Michu knows that it is difficult to make the team make a leap forward in just a few months, especially with the performance of his own half of the brush, but Michu's idea from the beginning is to demand stability, not only on the pitch, but also in the stability of the team's state against opponents! Michu doesn't want his team to become a nerve knife, only the team that can win when he is in the upper hand can enter the higher league, and every game is as stable as a dog! This is the most important realm that Leeds United are pursuing at this stage! This kind of realm is the stability that Michu must ensure no matter what!
