Chapter 103 You Need to Do More!

Simon? Grayson's coaching experience is not very rich, but he is still qualified in terms of tactical quality, especially his indomitable energy when making changes to the team, which shows his true name as a tough midfielder.

After realizing that the team is facing more and more difficulties, Simon? Grayson held a tactical meeting, and the core of the meeting was only one ...... Change formations!

In the past, Leeds United had Ameobi, a tactical center in the front, and the "black big man" itself also has a lot of scoring ability, although it is not obvious, and this season has also contributed 16 goals and 9 assists to the team, but now without Ameobi, Leeds United's attack has been completely unplayable, which requires the team to make changes to this, and even reformulate a midfield tactic.

PS: Is there still a monthly pass?

The coaching staff met until late at night, and in view of the current situation of the team's midfield lineup, a new tactic was finally come up, and the team had to change to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The reason why I finally chose to play this formation is actually because I fancy the stable surname of this formation, and the flexible surname of this formation is also more suitable for the current Leeds United team, with three attacking players behind a single striker, which can be three forward midfielders or a forward plus left and right bilateral strikers, it can be said that the team's attack power has not decreased much.

But the team's defense is much more stable, the two midfielders can be both responsible for defending to help the back line, so that the team's defensive ability will be greatly increased, in addition to helping to organize the attack, and even plug in to complete the long-range shot, this formation is still very flexible, the only problem now is ...... Staffing!

Previously, the "Young Guard" because of Zach? Thompson's super individual ability has always used the tactics of a single midfielder, and even made Zach ? Thompson, as the core of the midfield, has become an all-round midfielder who is responsible for organizing attacks, defending, and inserting long-range shots, but now that he has to use two midfielders in front of the back line, let Zach again? It would have been a bit of a waste for Thompson to stay in midfield.

At this time, Simon? Grayson said what he thought in his heart, in fact, this is what he has been thinking about how to use Zach? Thompson's result: "We all know that Shaq is very individual, this kid doesn't even need any helpers on the court, and we can do whatever we give him on his own. ”

"Hehehehehe............"

The coaches of the coaching staff all laughed happily, Shaq is simply a freak in the football world, it seems that he is not just an all-round midfielder, in terms of his personal ability, it seems that he will not be bad in any position on the field, and it is a bit of a waste to use any of this kid's abilities, let him play an all-round midfielder, although he has brought out his ability, organization, defense, assists or something, but look at the number of goals this kid has scored this season. This still didn't bring out the best in him.

After the colleagues stopped laughing, Simon? Grayson continued: "This time I'm going to put Shaq behind the striker, it's really similar to the midfield we used last season, but Shaq will have a little bit more of a job, he's going to have to organise the attack, he's going to have to slow down the pace of the opponent's attack when he gets the ball, and he's going to be responsible for scoring goals, and if possible, I want him to drop back to help the midfield, what do you think...... Is this kid up to the task? ”

"Yes!"

"Okay! Absolutely! ”

"Shaq is fine!"

Simon? As soon as Grayson's voice fell, the coaches immediately expressed their position, and no one raised any objections. Thompson was full of confidence, they didn't think about whether this kid could handle so many tasks at all, but when they thought about "Shaq"'s perverted running ability, it really didn't seem to be a problem, which was equivalent to not giving Zack? Thompson has a fixed task, but he can give the team full support through his running ability, so that it seems that he can play a greater role on the court.

"Hehehehe...... You guys......"

Simon? Grayson was amused by his partners, these people are all the same as him, full of confidence in "Shaq"!

"Shaq can play in any position, but, Simon...... Have you ever wondered who we're going to play with that 2? I think at least we need to have a good midfielder, and both of them need to have a certain defensive ability. ”

A voice suddenly sounded, and the person who spoke was very young, it was Klaus, the thirty-nine-year-old Norwegian coach of Leeds United who specializes in tactical training? Lundkvan.

Eric? Blake agreed: "Klaus is right, Simon, we have to think about the staffing of the team, we have the defenders and forwards in the 4-2-3-1 formation, but these two midfielders are the only ones to ......choose We seem to have a hard time finding qualified ones. ”

Simon? Grayson nodded: "Well, I've also thought about this issue, I think that although Dean in our team is a little older, he is very familiar with the team, and he should be able to occupy a position." ”

The proposal was well received by everyone, and although Whitehead is 31 years old and has made very few appearances for the team this season, the veteran is still a serious player in training and has shown good competitive form, and he is an ideal candidate given his familiarity with the rest of the team.

"What about the other one?"

I hear someone ask, Simon? Grayson smiled helplessly: "The other one...... We have to look at the transfer market. I guess prunes? Vrsarico should only need £13 million at most, so we still have enough transfer fees to buy another defensive midfielder, £15 or 6 million, and we still have a lot of players to choose from. ”

Listen to Simon? As soon as Grayson said this, the coaches all laughed, they almost forgot that it was now in the winter transfer period, and Leeds United now had a full 30 million pounds on their books, which was the money to buy a prune? Vrsariko can't even use up half of it, and it's more than enough to buy a strong enough midfielder, so the problem of personnel is ...... Is it still a problem?

With the decision in place, Simon? Grayson began to get his partners to work quickly, prunes? Vrsarico has to be bought, and with the arrival of the Croatian right-back, Leeds United will have a complete backline, which is the basis of the team's campaign, which is very important, and the option to bring in a midfielder.

In today's world football, there are still very few top midfielders, but there are not a few who are generally powerful, and Leeds United quickly selected several targets, including Tottenham Hotspur's 26-year-old Hoddlestone, and the 22-year-old French defender Jahn of the French Ligue 1 team? Mwila, and even the 23-year-old Moussa of Ligue 1 Toulouse? Sissoko.

Simon? The three central midfielders selected by Grayson have in common the fact that they are young, in the position between the main and the substitute at their respective clubs, and the other is ...... None of them are too valuable, even if they are Musa? Sissoko, a talented defender, is not worth more than 10 million, which is a sky-high price for the former "Young Guard", but now...... Leeds United can still make a good offer.

Naturally, there is someone to handle the transfer matter, Simon? Grayson's task is to take advantage of the next few days to apply the new tactics to the team, and the team that can intervene in tactical training is him and Eric? Blake and Klaus? Lundekwan is gone.

The next day, the team was on holiday, but the coaching staff still had to work normally, and they had to rush to work, the 4-2-3-1 formation was set, but some small-scale coordination details still had to be reformulated, and only by transplanting some of the team's existing things to the new tactics could the team adapt to the new tactics as soon as possible.

That night, Newcastle against Leeds United to Prune? Vrsarico responded with a £10 million offer...... 12 million!

Willing to pay this price, the transfer transaction can enter the next step, and the "Young Guard" will get and prunes? The right of Vrsarriko to negotiate individual contracts.

Simon? After careful consideration, Grayson gritted his teeth and agreed to the "Magpie's" proposal, although 12 million pounds made him quite painful, but compared to the team's record is nothing at all, he saved money will not fall into his pocket in the end, but if he leads the team to poor results, those Germans may do something to themselves.

Bierhoff and his team have joined the "Young Guard", all Germans, 25-year-old Markus? Müller became the club's director of operations, and he tried his hand at professional football, but unfortunately failed due to talent limitations, but the young man earned a degree in economics and became part of Bierhoff's team.

And then there's the director of football, Daniel? Kunze, general manager Danny? Linpinski, Director Christian? Schütz.

These are the teams that Bierhoff brought with them from Germany, and most importantly the club has an honorary technical advisor, and that person is ...... Madias? Summer!

Suffice it to say that Bierhoff though to Simon? Grayson was reassured, but the Leeds manager knew very well that the sword hanging over his head could fall at any moment, and he had seen a lot of the German's set, and it was nothing new to have n technical advisers in the Bundesliga who eventually replaced the club's manager.

Therefore, the transfer fee given by this club, as long as it can enhance the strength of the team, it doesn't matter how it is spent, if it really affects the team's results in order to save money, it may be Simon who will be responsible for the black pot in the end? Grayson, it's still clear which one is more and which one is less.

The next day, before starting training for the team, Simon? Grayson specifically put Zach? Thompson came out separately to talk: "Shaq, the team has been having some difficulties lately, do you know about this situation? ”

"Yes! I know! Boss, what do you need me to do? ”

Zach this time? Thompson is also thinking that although his "black foot" system can provide teammates with various technical bonuses, but there is no way to prevent teammates from getting injured, except that his own injury tendency value can be changed, his teammates can't do it, and Ameobi's injury directly affects the team's combat effectiveness, which is also what he doesn't want to see, no matter how magical the "black foot" system is, it can't make "Beast" Tevez a master of headers, and the height gap is there.

Zack? Thompson's answer made Simon? Grayson is very comfortable, and "Shaq" really deserves to be his confidant!

"Shaq, the coaching staff and I have developed a new set of tactics to deal with the current situation, this time we are going to play a 4-2-3-1 formation, with three attacking players tied behind the single striker, and I am going to let you play the position behind the striker, a bit like the midfielder we played last season, but you will have more tasks than before."

Zack? Thompson grinned: "Boss, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!" ”

Actually, Zach? Thompson's requirements are really not high, as long as he can get the surname points to strengthen himself, this league is different from the national team game, a game is a point, and you can arm yourself with it.

Simon? Grayson looks at a confident Zach? Thompson also smiled: "In addition to those jobs last season, I also need you to organize the team's offense, drop back to help the defense at the back, and also launch frontcourt counter-attacks after conceding the ball, etc. ”

"No problem!"

Zack? Thompson said yes nonchalantly, Simon? Grayson went on to say very seriously: "These are all basic requirements for you, and the most important thing is that you have to have offensive awareness and score goals!" It's not a long-range goal like last season, it's about rushing into the opponent's box to score! Of course, if you have the opportunity to score from a distance, you can't let it go! What do you think? Can it be done? ”

Zack? Thompson thought about it, and now he happened to be increasing the caste value of the shot, so he said very resolutely: "Boss, don't worry! I'm going to get the job done! ”

"Hahahaha...... Good! Good! Good! I knew you kid wasn't going to let me down! ”

Simon? Grayson laughed and patted Zach hard? Thompson's shoulders, he now really sees hope that the team will get out of the mess. (To be continued.) )
