Chapter 173: Free Attack and Defensive Training
"Damn, when did you two get it? How I didn't know! ”
King Dong's words strengthened Rooney's thoughts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your kid's taste is special enough, you actually put Agnes ...... But to be honest, you're pretty good, you can actually get the most popular supermodel in England! ”
Yu Liang didn't know what Rooney meant, he would be degraded, and he would show a look of envy there.
But now it seems that Agnes may have really broken up with her boyfriend, thinking that she cried on the phone yesterday, and I don't know how it is now. Although he was a little worried about Agnes in his heart, when he thought that she had broken up with her boyfriend, he couldn't help but look forward to what would happen to Agnes. With such an idea, Yu Liang felt that he had become a little dirty. Shaking his head, Yu Liang changed into training clothes and went to the training ground with his teammates.
After arriving at the training ground, the players each did a stretching activity, and then consciously warmed up in laps on the field. It's a habit at clubs to wait until they've warmed up before the coach shows up on the training ground. Twenty minutes later, the strength and conditioning coach and Queiroz arrived at the training ground.
"Everyone is doing recovery training this morning."
After the morning's training session, Queiroz disappeared into the training ground, handing over all the players to the strength and conditioning coach.
Under the guidance of the strength and conditioning coach, the recovery training continued until noon. After the training session, the players returned to the lounge with slightly tired bodies, and after a period of rest, they had lunch in the club's restaurant.
After lunch, they rested for half an hour and returned to the training ground.
At this moment, Ferguson was also standing on the sidelines of the training ground.
"Offensive and defensive training!"
Since it is offensive and defensive training, it must be offensive and defensive.
Soon the players were divided into three groups.
King Dong, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes were placed in one group and they dominated the attack.
Yu Liang, Michael Carrick, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Richardson were placed on the defensive side, wearing yellow vests that symbolised the main force.
Also on the defensive side were Alan Smith, Fletcher, O'Shea, Brown, Heinze and Park Ji-sung, but they wore red vests that symbolized the bench.
After the grouping, all the players understood that it was a free attack and defensive training.
The attacking group is the free group, they attack with the ball, and if the ball is broken, they immediately join the other group to counterattack.
Football is indeed a fair competitive sport, but there is often an imbalance in the game, that is, often the attacking side will form a situation of more and less play, which will test the resilience and defensive ability of the defender. This kind of training is designed to improve the resilience and defensive ability of the players, not only to improve the resilience of the defenders and the defensive ability to defend in disadvantaged situations, but also to improve the reflexes of the offensive players, so that they can quickly invest in the counterattack.
Of course, Ferguson has another purpose in training like this, which is to strengthen the cooperation between Yu Liang and Carrick.
Since Carrick's transfer to Manchester United, he has rarely competed with Yu Liang. In the only competition in the same game, the two also had an unfavorable run-in, and the positions often overlapped, and there was a leakage.
If Yu Liang and Carrick can fully run in, he can experiment with the 433 formation next season or even in the next game, completely freeing Scholes to devote himself to the attack, while Carrick and Yu Liang are responsible for protection and backcourt sweeping, and can even serve as a link between the front and back to help the attack.
Carrick may have understood Ferguson's intentions, and after training began, he deliberately stepped back to concentrate on wiping his ass behind Yu Liang. After half a season, Carrick basically understands Yu Liang's position in Ferguson's heart, and also understands Yu Liang's ability. Since there is no 100% certainty of defeating Yu Liang to occupy the starting position, it is better to seriously implement Ferguson's tactical intentions. Joining Manchester United was a pinnacle of his career, and he knew who had the final say at Manchester United, and he couldn't think of his career as a short-lived success.
But Yu Liang, who is dedicated to training, does not know the deep meaning of Ferguson, and he still plays at his own pace.
The attacking group is placed on their side first, so that their side can be considered a full main lineup. With such a lineup, the defensive pressure of the other group will definitely be great, but because the training field is smaller than the regular football field, the space for each person is limited, which naturally increases the difficulty of passing and receiving the ball.
The attacking group immediately changed its camp and attacked towards Yu Liang and their group.
Fletcher immediately passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yu Liang, who was inserting forward, turned around and rushed towards Ronaldo.
At this time, Fletcher, who was in the backfield, was calmly directing his teammates to defend.
Seeing that Yu Liang was still chasing Ronaldo, he immediately greeted him, and at the same time waved his hand to signal Yu Liang to retreat to organize defense.
Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, saw Carrick's mature performance and a smile appeared on his face.
But the smile quickly froze, because Yu Liang did not run according to Carrick's command at all, but continued to chase Ronaldo.
Yu Liang did not retreat in time, and Carrick could only give up the idea of intercepting Ronaldo. But before he could retreat, the entire backline was exposed, and as a genius, Ronaldo certainly wouldn't let go of the opportunity, sending the ball straight to Scholes' feet with a diagonal pass. With Wayne Rooney and King Dong involved, Paul Scholes paused before slashing the ball into the gap between Heinze and Rio Ferdinand near the bottom line on the left. Giggs, who was inserted, received the ball and burst into the box to cross with his feet, and Rooney, who followed up in the middle, headed home.
After losing the ball, Yu Liang made an apologetic gesture to Carrick as soon as possible, and naturally Carrick eliminated the trace of dissatisfaction that had just risen in his heart. However, this did not bring a turnaround to the run-in between them, although when attacking, Carrick deliberately handed over the dominance to Yu Liang, and he concentrated on checking and filling in the backfield, but there was still a mismatch between the two when defending. Either there was a leak, or there was a situation where the pass was not tacit, and Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, until he stopped training and reversed the positions of Yu Liang and Fletcher, the situation improved.
Then the free attack group and both defensive groups performed very well, and in the end, the group wearing the yellow vests, which symbolize the main team, defeated the group wearing the red vests, which symbolize the substitutes, 4-2.
After the offensive and defensive training, the day's training also ended. Although the players have been in excellent form in training, Ferguson is still frowning and his face is full of sadness. (To be continued.) )
