Chapter 32: Another Goal!
Chapter 32 Goal Again!
After finalizing a new contract with Wang Tiezhu, Simon Grayson did not sit idle, but immediately worked out a new team strategy for Leeds United with Green Snowing...... The back waist is front-mounted!
With the development of modern football, a variety of tactics emerge in an endless stream, AC Milan's famous forward and back positions have lifted Pirlo to the sky, and AC Milan has become the king of Europe, and Simon Grayson is now playing a reverse string, he wants to let Wang Tiezhu, a midfielder, appear in the position of the midfielder.
On 13 October, just two days before Leeds United host Barnsley in the English Championship, Simon Grayson and Green Snowing were still discussing the viability of the new tactic.
"Simon, have you really decided? How many games has this little guy played on our behalf? You make such a decision...... It's likely to put you under a lot of stress! ”
Looking at his partner with a worried face, Simon Grayson laughed and said: "Green, don't worry, I've already thought very clearly, Shaq's personal ability is absolutely strong, and his potential is even more endless for me to see, it's a waste to just let him play a back midfielder." And, I don't know if you've noticed? Shaq not only showed a strong tackling ability, but he also had two goals and an assist in the game, which is enough to show that he can still provide some help to the team in attack, I think if this kid is put in the forward position to do the work of the back midfield, he will be able to become a bulldozer in the opponent's hinterland, not only can disrupt the opponent, but also will not affect our attack. ”
Green Snowing frowned and said, "Simon, if Shaq is allowed to play as a striker, how do you plan to arrange our team's attack?" ”
"Green, have you forgotten? Jonny's best position is not the central midfielder, but he is even sharper in the right midfield! ”
"Ahh Simon, are you going to put the team's offense back on the wing? In that case, Pugh on the left? ”
Simon Grayson smiled and nodded: "Pugh is a left midfielder, but don't forget, Ben guy has always been dishonest in the left back position, we can completely free him up to complete an offensive combination with Pugh on the left side!" ”
Green Snowing saw his partner waving his fist excitedly, thought about it and poured a basin of cold water out: "Simon, but in this case, who should organize our team's offense?" ”
"Michael, of course!"
Simon Grayson looked at Green Snowing in surprise: "Old man, do you think Michael can't even complete such a simple task?" ”
"Michael's Age ......"
Simon Grayson shook his head: "Green, if you look at the current attack intensity of our team, it is indeed a bit onerous to let Michael take on the task of organizing the attack, but after our team's tactics have changed, once the passage between the left and right lanes is opened, and there is Shaq in the front court, I will tell Shaq to just do what he does in the back position, grab the ball, protect the ball, and divide the ball...... Hehe, if you let him get the ball and shoot as far as he can, what would it be like? Oh - old man, don't forget, Shaq used to be an offensive player, I don't think he even has the slightest sense of movement, right? ”
Green Snowing looked at his confident partner and couldn't say anything more, and said with a wry smile: "Simon, the time is ...... Is it still too late? ”
Simon Grayson knew that his partner was worried about whether the new tactics would work in such a short period of time, but he had already thought about everything: "We've won six in a row now, ha, the morale of the lads is high, what kind of team is Barnsley?" Well, they're bottom of the table right now, we're playing at home again, I can't think of any reason why we should lose to them! ”
Belch!
Green Snowing looked at the high-spirited Simon Grayson, he really had nothing to say, as if the truth was indeed as his partner said, as long as he did what he wanted, Leeds United at home really had no reason to lose to Barnsley, the bottom of the list.
Simon Grayson's new tactics have not been met with any resistance within the team, and now that the "Young Guards" have won six consecutive league games, and Wang Tiezhu's sudden rise to become an indispensable talent defender for the team, all of this shows how wise and wise the manager is, and also makes the already highly respected coach Simon Grayson more and more respected, and perhaps when he leads Leeds United back to the superteam, he will become a legend in Leeds United history.
However, what Simon Grayson never expected was that he encountered some difficulties throughout the implementation of the new tactics, and this difficulty came from the people at the heart of the whole new tactic...... Wang Tiezhu!
When Wang Tiezhu listened to Simon Grayson's tactics, he was completely confused, he never thought that he would have to run behind the striker to do dirty work before a back midfield, the impression of the back players are to stay in their own half, only when their team is pressed on the whole line will they cross the middle line, and they must be ready to retreat anytime and anywhere to help the team defend, and now the head coach actually wants him to go to the front court to do this work, this ...... What should I do!?
The effect of Wang Tiezhu's acceptance of the tactical arrangement was really a bit poor, and Simon Grayson had to think that it was because the time of one and a half days was too short, and in the end he simply drew up a programmed tactical arrangement for Wang Tiezhu......
Once you get the ball up front, you can give it to Michael Brown behind you, or to captain Jonny Hausen on the right, or to Pugh and Ben Parker on the left, and then just turn and run forward.
If you receive a pass from your teammates in the front court, even if you can shoot directly from a distance, if you really don't have a chance to shoot from a distance, you can still protect the ball and pass back to Michael Brown, or divide the ball to the left and right sides, if you can directly see the two forward teammates in front of you, you can also directly stuff the ball to them, and then run into the opponent's big penalty area, or that principle, you can run wherever you want.
When his side falls into defense, Wang Tiezhu's work is still the same as before, just move before and after his team's penalty area.
As soon as Simon Grayson explained this, Wang Tiezhu understood that this was no different from his previous work, to put it bluntly, there were more opportunities to shoot, he originally had little confidence in his offensive ability, but he had just renewed his contract with the team and got the team's top salary, which was all thanks to the care of the head coach, and now it is natural that the head coach will do what he says.
On October 15th, Leeds fans in the Elland Road stadium were surprised to find that although the club's superstar "Shaq" once again entered the team's starting lineup, his position was no longer a midfielder, but a new position...... Front waist!
What's going on!?
"The game started and Barnesley kicked off first...... Hey? Shaq broke into the opponent's position and began to press! He did it! Pass to Beccio...... Oops, a bad pass! ”
Wang Tiezhu made a steal as soon as he went up, only to be cut back by his opponent when passing the ball forward, but he still won a round of applause.
At this time, fans thought that this was just a solo show by Wang Tiezhu, but a minute later they found out that things were not like that at all.
'We had a bit of a strange formation in today's game, Shaq was very far up front, just behind the two strikers Beccio and Snodgrass, captain Jonny Hausen was on the side, Pugh was on the left midfield, and Michael was in the middle. This formation...... Well, we've never seen it before, and it looks like this should be a new tactic after Simon's adjustment, but ...... Letting Shaq play as a midfielder seems to be a bit ...... Well, I don't quite understand! But let's wait and see, let's see how such a young guard will behave! ”
In the anticipation, Leeds United, who are playing at home, did occupy the home advantage and constantly put pressure on the opponent, or because Barnsley, the bottom-to-bottom strength, was too weak, or because Leeds United's new tactics caught them off guard.
With 5:38 played, Leeds had a chance to counter-attack when Pugh got a pass from Ben Parker on the left and ran forward!
At this time, there was nothing more to do with Wang Tiezhu, and when his own side attacked, Wang Tiezhu's task was to run directly forward, so he turned around and ran straight forward.
The rest of Leeds clearly understand what kind of character their team's "Shaq" is, this kid is not in the team's attacking plan at all, he can run as much as he likes.
"Bang!"
The ball passed the ball to Bezio in the center circle, the top scorer of Leeds United from Argentina is extremely capable of individuality, and his brain is also very flexible when playing, he first ran two steps to the left front with the ball and then reached the right side of Wang Tiezhu who rushed up, and when the Barnsley players thought he would send the ball to Wang Tiezhu, Beccio turned and passed the ball to Snodgrass in front of the right.
At this time, among all the players in the front field of Leeds United, Snodgrass is already the most forward, but he is still more than 20 meters away from the opponent's penalty area, and after the ball passes to him, unless he breaks through directly with the ball, there is no chance.
And after Snodgrass looked at the two red figures in front of him, this striker with comprehensive skills but no outstanding characteristics, he really didn't feel that he was sure to successfully break through the opponent's defense, so he simply held the ball and stabilized it, and then he saw that a white figure on the left side had run to the top of the opponent's big penalty area.
The speed can be so fast, of course, only Wang Tiezhu, this kid sprinted all the way forward in a few seconds from his own half to the opponent's big penalty area!
"Smack!"
Snodgrass didn't have to think about it at this time, otherwise the opportunity to counterattack would have been missed, and he pushed a diagonal ball directly with the arch of his foot and sent the ball properly to the top of the Barnsley penalty area.
This passing route is more than two meters away from Wang Tiezhu laterally, it is a pass that gives enough advance to make Wang Tiezhu have to move a few steps laterally, and these few steps allow Wang Tiezhu to successfully rely on speed to get rid of Barnsley's defenders, and when he receives the ball on the semi-circular arc at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, his side is empty!
Wang Tiezhu was at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, directly facing Barnsley's goalkeeper!
"Bang!"
Almost instinctively, Wang Tiezhu chose to shoot directly from a distance!
Originally, Wang Tiezhu had been practicing long-range shooting very crazy recently, and in this game, Simon Grayson ordered him to choose long-range shooting first, and then consider protecting the ball and passing, so he directly raised his foot and shot from a distance!
"Whew-"
Wang Tiezhu's long-range shot is absolutely not technical, his shooting line is not selected at all, it is all a thigh-slamming goal, and generally speaking, it is already a great thing that he can hit the ball within the goal frame.
But this time, although Wang Tiezhu directly chose to kick the ball to the Barnsley goalkeeper in the center, the ball deviated uncontrollably to the right, and at the same time, because of the air resistance, the ball also flew more and more upward!
Result -
When the ball flew in front of Barnsley's goal, it turned out to be a super long-range shot from a very tricky angle, straight to the top right corner of the opponent's goal!
"Huh!"
Barnsley's goalkeeper Luke Steele is not a world-class goalkeeper for a shot like this...... He could only look at the ball and sigh!
Belch!
Seeing the ball roaring into the corner of Barnsley's goal, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but be stunned for a while-
This ball...... This ball turned out to be ...... Entered!?
