Although the team has won 3 consecutive victories, the fact that the tactics are increasingly targeted makes it difficult for Michu to sleep, and even the goddess Sophia has been snubbed by herself recently! But there is no way, what Mi Chu thinks about every day is how to serve the current situation, and try to avoid the fact that he is being targeted more and more, after all, Mi Chu doesn't want to face the iron bucket array of the opponent in every game!

You know, the Iron Bucket Formation is a notoriously difficult problem! Even a world-class head coach like Lord Fu has to scratch his head when he encounters these situations, let alone a rookie who is halfway home! Although Michu knew that Sophia was not satisfied, he estimated that he would not be able to take care of Sophia for a while before he came up with an effective solution!

In fact, after the team lost Beckford, Michu tried to play the center forward by Muller, but the actual effect was not ideal! Michu had allowed Muller to play in the first half of the game against Southend United in the previous game, but the opposition's compressed and overly flat formation made it impossible for Muller to play well, but infinitely magnified the technical and header and physical disadvantages. In the end, Michu had to go up to Candor to liberate Muller!

At the same time, Michu found that the problem that Candor could not connect with his own offensive system was actually caused by his own high requirements for him. Michu found that as long as he effectively avoided the disadvantages of poor dribbling and rough technique in the use of Candor, and effectively played the characteristics of good body and good header, he could play a good role as a bridgehead when attacking! Effectively become the fulcrum of the team's attack in the frontcourt, which is also what Michu thought of by borrowing from the Monster Drogba's play in Chelsea, after all, his frontcourt attacking group is still quite good!

So after consulting with the coaching staff, Michu began to experiment with the new formation in training, Candor adapted quickly, and in the conversation with Candole, Michu and Poyet carefully explained his work to him, "All you need is to hold the ball as steady as possible and pass it before the defenders can wrap it up!" You don't need to dribble the ball, you don't need to be too fancy, you're the fulcrum of the team's attack right now, you know? ”

"No problem, coach, I know how to do it!"

How else to say that focus makes a difference! When you simplify your work and focus on your own strengths, you will discover a whole new version of yourself!

Through the modification of tactics, Candor has become more and more thorough about his task, and several other people are basically running around Candor at the request of the coaching staff, although the effect is not so smooth and skilled compared to when Beckford was in the past, but the team does not have to rely entirely on the ground now, and Candole's control of long passes is also much stronger than Beckford, especially when the team is breaking the dense defense, Candole's appearance can effectively enrich the offensive means, It has played a great role in the team's set-piece defense and attack!

However, due to the rush of time, it seems that the only drawback at present is the tacit understanding of the cooperation, and the relationship between Kandor and the frontcourt players is still a little jerky, I don't know if this will become a possible weakness of the team!

Although the new tactics made Michu and others a little worried, but the result of 3 consecutive wins still made the whole team full of expectations for the upcoming game with the leader Bournemouth, you must know that Leeds United is now only 4 points away from the second place, if the team can get all three points in this game, then I believe this will be a huge incentive for the team in the next schedule!

So Michu and Poyet and others didn't dare to be careless at all, from the pre-game analysis to the collection of the game report and the weather on the day of the game, Mi Chu didn't dare to say that everything was too small, but it was also said that everything was covered, and the eyes of Mi Chu and others were bloodshot in a week's time, and Sophia was a little distressed when she saw it!

As the match day approached, Michu had a hint of excitement in addition to the usual nervousness, in addition to the reason for playing away against the league leaders, the success of the new formation was the reason for Michu's excitement!

Even though the atmosphere at Dean Court Stadium is not as good as that of Elland Road, Michu is still a little nervous, but seeing the players who are about to appear, Michu still encourages loudly, "Come on!" Well done! Show the performance on the training ground, you can do it! ”

Seeing Candal walking by, Michu patted the other party's shoulder! Candor also nodded fiercely at Michu!

Michu, who was sitting on the bench in his own seat, watched the game nervously, like a designed script, as soon as Bournemouth launched a furious attack, in the end, the team ranked first in the league, without the slightest temptation, Leeds United was forced to defend honestly in the half.

According to the research of Michu and others, Bournemouth's attack belongs to a typical British style of play, long pass rushing and side bottom are the main offensive means, the main 442 formation is also based on its own strong midfielders, Bournemouth's midfielder two players Mene and Fleison have a huge influence on both ends of the team's attack and defense, both the team's operation and the team's defense are inseparable from the close cooperation of the two, the excellent play of the two makes Bournemouth's attack and defense in the game are equally good!

In response to this, Michu and others set up the team to use the dual back configuration of Holson and Kilkenny to suppress the play of the opponent's midfield.

When the opponent splits the side, the full-backs and wingers will follow the requirements of the coaching staff to strictly prevent the opponent from going outside to make a low cross, and let them cut inside as much as possible so that Bournemouth's wide crosses cannot be effectively executed.

Because the Leeds United players were more physical after the opening, Muller and Delph were able to assist in defending according to Michu's requirements, Bournemouth had empty possession but could not play the usual way of playing bottom crosses, and the 45-degree diagonal long passes generated by the fullbacks were mostly able to be defused by Huntington and Marquis who were one-on-one marking!

In particular, Huntington's performance has become stronger and stronger in frontal defense since Michu took over the team, and with the team's defensive counter-attacking style of play, his own weakness of slow turning has not been amplified too much, which is why Michu has always had confidence in this tactic.

Just at the stall where the two sides came and went, the rain that Mi Chu had been praying for not to come before the game started but it didn't cooperate, and as the game progressed, the rain became heavier and heavier.

"Don, it seems that your worries are really right! The pre-match weather forecast seems to have finally come true, especially since the rain is still relatively timely for the home team. ”

"Yes, Neil, from what we have watched the game for the past two minutes, although Bournemouth have been pressing Leeds United since the opening, we can clearly see that Leeds United's defensive tactics are still very successful.

Although Bournemouth had plenty of crosses on both flanks, Leeds players deliberately avoided letting the opposition make low crosses, so Bournemouth's 45-degree crosses were not effective in converting into shots! I think the next Bournemouth may deliberately strengthen their long-range shooting in the rain, after all, the team also has a good long-range shooting ability, Mane! ”

Michu is also aware of the problems that this rain may bring, if the opposing players and coaches have a strong ability to adjust, maybe their own defensive players will deal with more defensive pressure in the next game!

Sure enough, as the rain began to pick up, Bournemouth's players were no longer too focused on crosses, but instead had too many inside cuts to increase the opposition's chances in the middle.

At this time, Mi Chu had already stood nervously on the side of the court, the heavy rain wet his coat, and the rain seeped into his clothes, and the rain in this season had not yet asked for the cold of winter, so Mi Chu shivered from time to time! But compared to this cold, the situation on the field is even more worrying!

Bournemouth winger Cole won the ball on the right flank, but Leeds United's Richardson and Thomas Muller had already come up, Cole had seen his full-back on the side, but he chose to take a step in the direction of Leeds United's ribs and passed to Mane in the middle, Mane was ready to kick!

No, he made a feint and deducted Kilkenny, who stepped forward to block, and faked the real pass! Fleison got into the box and it was clear that the Leeds defenders were attracted to the previous feint from Mane! Fleisen shot! ”

The scene was followed by a regretful sigh!

Even Mi Chu was scared into a cold sweat just now, even if he couldn't feel the sweat or rain anymore!

It turned out that Fleison was almost one-on-one when he got the chance to get his feet, but Ankergren's timely attack clearly made the Irish midfielder a little flustered, and although the ball went around Ankergren, it was ruthlessly denied by the goal's post! And Huntington, who was making up the defense, cleared the ball out of the sideline in time!

'This should be the best chance Bournemouth has created so far! It's a pity that Fleison's shot only hits the post! But apparently the creation of this opportunity showed the calmness of the Bournemouth players and their reading of the format of the game! Leeds players obviously need to be a little more focused! ”

"Coach Michu obviously couldn't stand the endless rain and had to go back to the bench to hide! But alas, his players have nowhere to hide! We can only continue to endure the storm of the Bournemouth team! ”

The on-site commentary obviously inspired the home fans who braved the rain to watch the game, and Bournemouth's morale was boosted for a while!

Leeds United are now in desperate need of a morale booster to step up!

Sure enough, Candour stood up in the mud for nearly half time, just after Michu was just ridiculed by the commentator, Candor leaned on the opponent's close-knit central defender and unloaded Ankerberg's backfield long pass on his chest, after a kick, Candor did not choose to blindly dribble, but handed the ball to Reuss not far away, at this time Muller had already ghostly diagonally ran to Bournemouth to mark the vacancy behind Andorra's central defender Kornes, Michu couldn't care about the majestic rain and stood up nervously again, " Hurry up and pass it on! ”

As if hearing Michu's words, Royce rubbed his right foot and the ball flew just over the heads of Candall and Coens.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, another central defender who was standing in the back of the center Thomas, hurriedly ran back, trying to create an offside position!

But I have to say that Muller's running position is very chicken, the assistant referee did not have any indication, Muller easily unloaded the ball with his chest and accelerated, riding the dust!

Michu rushed to Poyet excitedly! There was jubilation on the bench!

"Well done!" Michu shouted to Candor that without this bridgehead, the goals that followed would not have happened at all!

Now it's the opponent's turn to be confused! Besieged the half, finally broke through the defense line but was ruthlessly rejected by the goalpost! Turning back, one was inadvertently stolen by Leeds United! The lamentation in the stadium completely expresses Bournemouth's pain!
