Chapter Seventy-Six: Changing Formations on the Spot!

Early the next morning, Chen Song announced that the Quancheng team would conduct a closed training session in order to prepare for Gamba Osaka, and all reporters and fans were not allowed to watch the next training of the Quancheng team.

This is undoubtedly terrible news for journalists. The Chinese League has ended, the World Youth Championship has not yet begun, and the most concerned thing in Chinese football is the decisive battle between the Quancheng team and the Osaka Gamba team to determine the place in Group E.

Although no one expected Izumi to win at home against Gamba Osaka, the team's preparation was still the focus of reporters' attention.

Chen Songke is a conspirator, the best head coach in China last year. In addition, with Lin Qi, the best rookie, maybe the Quancheng team will have some special tactical arrangements.

Yes, indeed! Journalists are pretty sure of that.

But what the specific arrangements are, it's not for them to know. The Springs have closed their training sessions, and no one knows what kind of special arrangements the Springs will make for this match.

"The Izumi City team has implemented closed training at this time, and they must have found a way to deal with Gamba Osaka. I really want to see how the Izumi City team will deal with Gamba Osaka, an opponent they can't beat at all! Various media have speculated about the purpose of the Spring City team's move, including those who are looking forward to it, and of course, there are also those who are desperate for the Black Spring City team.

For example, "Football News": "The Quancheng team suddenly decided to conduct closed training, is this Chen Song's smoke bomb, or is there really any special arrangement?" I don't think I'll be able to beat Gamba Osaka no matter what the special arrangement is. ”

"Actually, the Springs team doesn't have to pay that much attention to this game at all. Even if they make it to the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League, how far can they go in the AFC Champions League? Rather than being eliminated after entering the top 16, it is better to break off the idea of the AFC Champions League early, prepare well for the second half of the season, and strive to surpass the Qilu team in the standings. ”

"In this way, there is no need to continue dragging Lin Qi and the three of them, so that they can devote themselves to the preparation of the World Youth Championships as soon as possible." The newspaper also mentioned the issue of the World Youth Championships.

After the end of the final round of the Chinese League, the Chinese youth team directly started their training camp, and the Chinese youth team players, including Lin Heng, Zhou Tao and others, went to South America collectively.

Only Lin Qi, Luo Ming and Xu Zhen did not report to the Huaxia Youth Team on time, and they still have to continue to play for the Quancheng team in the most important AFC Champions League group stage!

This is what the Quancheng team is trying to ask for, and Lin Qi is now the core of the Quancheng team. The Quancheng team would not be complete without Lin Qi. Originally, the Izumi City team did not have much hope of defeating Gamba Osaka. If there is no Lin Qi to participate in the war, it will be completely hopeless.

Fortunately, Liu Bo gave understanding to the Quancheng team's approach. Anyway, there is still a month and a half before the start of the World Youth Championships, and the three of Lin Qi are not short of this week's training camp. And Liu Bo also hopes that the Quancheng team can teach Gamba Osaka a good lesson in this game. It is better to replace them in the round of 16.

When the time comes. Then the Osaka Gamba team will have a lot of fun......

Of course, this is just what Liu Bo wants to see. Regardless of whether it can be achieved or not, he agreed to let Lin Qi and the three of them play this game before going to meet with the Chinese Youth Team.

The actions of the Quancheng team and Liu Bo caused a large number of fans to be dissatisfied, and several newspapers and periodicals led by the "Football Daily" seized on this incident and fiercely criticized Liu Bo and the Quancheng team.

They are all media that support Springs to abandon the AFC Champions League early.

"The Springs team is not important. The AFC Champions League and the World Youth Championship, one is the honor of the club, the other is the honor of the whole country, of course, the honor of the country must be put first. And they actually left Lin Qi and the three to continue to participate in the AFC Champions League, which is simply unreasonable. ”

"Could it be that with Lin Qi and the three of them, will the Quancheng team be able to defeat Gamba Osaka? It's not that I underestimate Lin Qi and the others. They are still young players and can only shine on a stage like the World Youth Championships. In a field of this level like the AFC Champions League, the role of Lin Qi and the three is very limited. ”

"The Quancheng team has suffered a big loss because of the AFC Champions League, and they have suffered a big loss in the Chinese League. Now because of the AFC Champions League, the time for Lin Qi and the three to prepare for the World Youth Championships has been reduced. This approach makes all our Chinese fans feel sad. ”

"Liu Bo is also really, I thought he was a very principled head coach, but I didn't expect that this time he used his power for personal gain. Liu Bo and Wang Yi have a very good personal relationship, and we have to wonder if Liu Bo agreed to let Lin Qi and the others report a week later because of his relationship with Wang Yi. ”

Well, even Liu Bo has been charged with using power for personal gain. These media changed their ways to divert the attention of fans, and they didn't think that the Izumi City team could defeat Gamba Osaka anyway, so they simply didn't follow the Izumi City team to lose this face.

They don't have any expectations for the Quancheng team, and in their hearts, no matter what kind of special arrangements the Quancheng team makes in this game, they will definitely not be able to win.

It's their confidence in the Spring team, the confidence to lose......

These media reports have caused quite a stir in China. After reading their reports, many fans feel that the Springs team has indeed gone too far this time.

For a game that was impossible to win at all, sacrificing the time of the Chinese youth team to prepare for the World Youth Championships, the Quancheng team suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Countless fans once again voiced their hopes that the Springs team would abandon this game.

The big war is coming, but the Quancheng team is unpopular. Except for a few staunch Springs fans who still support them, the rest of the fans are waiting to see the excitement of the Springs team.

It is foreseeable that if the Quancheng team really loses this game, and the Chinese youth team does not achieve good results in this World Youth Championship, they will definitely be drowned by the saliva of the fans......

Fortunately, no one in the Spring City team knew the media reports and the fans' thoughts at this time, otherwise it would have had a big impact on their pre-game mentality.

For nearly a week, Chen Song asked all the players of the Quancheng team to live in the players' dormitory at the training base of the Quancheng team. They don't go home, they don't have any contact with the outside world, they only think about defeating Gamba Osaka!

It wasn't until the afternoon of the match day that Chen Song appeared in front of the media. He didn't take any questions, only announcing the starting line-up for Springs at a pre-match press conference.

In the list, Lin Qi, Luo Ming, Xu Zhen, and all three young players started. And Zhao Lin, Lu Fei and Chen Biao, the three former cores of the Quancheng team, also appeared in the starting list.

This makes fans and the media incomprehensible, what does the Spring City team mean? Why did you come up with such a starting lineup? What kind of formation do they plan to use against Gamba Osaka?

Xu Zhen and Chen Biao started at the same time, which suggests that the Quancheng team may still use the two-back formation against Seoul FC. But what happened to Luo Ming, Zhao Lin and Lu Fei starting together?

According to their understanding of the Quancheng team, Luo Ming has always been a substitute for Lu Fei and Zhao Lin. The three of them are all wide players, and Chen Song usually only allows two people to appear on the field at the same time.

Three wide players came on the pitch together, which has never happened before.

The reporters knew that the Quancheng team would have a special arrangement, but they didn't expect the Quancheng team to come up with a special arrangement that they couldn't understand at all.

Only those sensitive football bigwigs can realize that the Quancheng team is about to change their formation on the spot!

Three wide players start together, which means one of them will be in the middle. This person must be Zhao Lin, Luo Ming and Lu Fei can only play better on the side, and Zhao Lin's characteristics are suitable for moving to the middle.

It's not that the Quancheng team doesn't have excellent midfielders, so why let Zhao Lin play in the middle? The reason has to be found from Zhao Lin's body. What is Zhao Lin best at? Long passes!

This basically set the offensive tone of the Quancheng team in this game - the long pass in the backfield is the mainstay!

Since the long pass in the backfield is the mainstay, it will definitely not be Lin Qi alone in front, which means that Luo Ming and Lu Fei are likely to be in front of them.

In this way, it is easy to understand that the Springs team has such a starting lineup.

Because their formation against Gamba Osaka in this game is 4-3-3, which is similar to 4-3-3 of the Qilu team!

This is Shen Yue's advice to Chen Song. Shen Yue actually didn't let Chen Song change the formation on the spot, he just described to Chen Song how the Qilu team would play if the Qilu team and Osaka Gamba met.

Even Shen Yue would never have thought that Chen Song would be so bold. He directly disrupted all the previous tactical systems of the Quancheng team, and with only one week of preparation time, he chose to change the formation on the spot! (To be continued......)
