Chapter 168: To catch up
Conflicting opinions?
It's less common to see this in the locker room.
This time, Rehhagel made up his mind to see which of his thinking abilities and that guy were superior.
"Tactical discussions in the dressing room are no stranger to everyone. Well, since the first half was a bit frustrating, let's replace the discussion with a debate, and everyone is welcome to speak! β
As soon as everyone sat down, Rehhagel led Barak to push the door in, and his slightly anxious appearance put a question mark in the hearts of the disciples, but the words he said made them cry and laugh a little.
This old man, when did he become so playful?
"As a sign of sincerity, I'll come first. The whole first half of the game was clearly divided into three parts, and I am sure most of you will clearly feel that the specific reasons will not be analyzed here, and the next response will be the topic of our debate. β
Rehhagel obviously had no intention of singing a one-man show, and as soon as the opening sentence was finished, he went straight to the point.
'The maturity and composure of the opponent had the style of Dortmund last time, and the intention to abandon the obvious defensive flaws on the left and focus on the right-hand side that looked more solid allowed them to play ahead and play against us in the first half. In the second half, they obviously won't give up on such a good method, and they will definitely put their energy into it. Okay, that's the end of the prompt, let's move on to the free discussion. At the end of the three minutes, I need to hear well-reasoned arguments. β
"The ideas that receive the most support will be rewarded with a special prize from me, and I hope you will sign up."
As soon as the words fell, the bad boy who had always seen the old man and the mouse and the cat whistled softly.
βSupriseοΌβ
βSureοΌβ
Rehhagel also dragged a sentence in English, and looked up at the time by the way.
The guys, who were not very emotional, were amused by this conversation between the old and the young. The locker room suddenly became lively.
Since it is a debate, it is natural that the positions should be clearly distinguished.
Sforza was a little older, and his personality was more mature and steady, and the old guys decisively surrounded him, and you and I discussed it word by word.
Ballack represents a new force in the team, and the dressing room appeal of future leaders is now beginning to take shape. Kuka. Seeing this, Latchinhoe, Booker, and the three of them did not show weakness, and also surrounded the German boys, and quickly admonished them.
Three minutes passed in a flash, and the host appeared.
"Alright, the time is up. Sforza is a second-year student, so it's okay to come first, right? β
"No problem."
Sforza's face was calm, but he spoke. Everyone was a little silent.
"On the surface, the opponent is taking advantage of the captain's poor physical condition and Sesk's lack of experience. In fact, I didn't give enough protection in the midfield position, which was the main reason why the guide lost the ball. I would like to bring it up here first, and I hope you will forgive me. β
By the time the mood seemed to be about to subside, the Swiss were already holding their heads up, as if they had quickly turned the page.
"I'm not new to the position of the midfield. When I first started playing professionally, I was familiar with the position. Pity. At a high level of play, just being familiar with it doesn't solve the problem. In this situation, I don't feel like I can help the team much by focusing on defense. β
"After a few of us discussed it, we came to a conclusion."
"I switched sides with Latchinho and the team focused on the left side!"
After seeing that Sforza had finished his opinion. Rehhagel's gaze quickly shifted. Barak didn't seem to be the rookie he was at the beginning, and his back was just as straight when he stood up and spoke.
"We agree with the idea of switching sides, but the intention of attacking on the left side is not suitable for us."
"The reason is simple. The opponents didn't press too hard to take the lead, which made them still put a lot of energy into defending in the rest of the game. We relied solely on the attack on the left flank to break the situation, obviously not enough strength! β
"Mid lane! Only when the threat is created in the middle will the opponent feel the pressure, the unfavorable factors in the defense can be removed, and we can really grasp the initiative in the game! β
After speaking, Barak did not sit down, the confidence in his eyes made him turn his neck slightly, and smiled to meet the eyes of everyone.
"Yes, the two sides agreed on the issue of switching sides. It's just that there is a clear difference in the choice of offensive routes, and now in the second round, other fighters can express their views or refute their opponents' points of view through guΓ². β
As soon as Rehhagel's words fell, Christov, who had always spoken little, stood up.
"As you said, the opponent will put a lot of energy into defending. In this case, the pressure on the main mid lane will be beyond imagination! Don't forget, we're still lagging behind and can't afford to toss repeatedly! β
Kuka had obviously been holding back for a long time, and stood up at this moment.
"The current situation no longer allows us to play steadily, in terms of offensive strength, we are not weaker than them, the middle attack will indeed face greater resistance, but once it is played, it will pose a real threat to the goal, unlike the successful breakthrough on the wing, whether it can break through is still unknown!"
Since it is a debate, the rapid collision of ideas on both sides has become an effective way to raise the level. Rehhagel saw that the guys on both sides were fully in shape, and simply became the shopkeeper.
With three minutes to go, the forgotten host clears his throat and pulls hatred.
The guys who were fighting with each other naturally didn't have a good impression of the guy who interrupted rashly, but when they saw who it was, their heads suddenly sobered up.
Damn, I almost forgot where this was!
"Very good, this kind of thinking ability exercise will bring you unexpected gains. In every game, there will be unexpected situations in the pre-match preparation, and there will be momentary changes during the game that make our brains temporarily short-circuit. Therefore, a calm state of mind and the ability to think quickly and clearly become the difference between playing football with your brain or eating with your body. β
"When the tactics are not right, substitutions are the usual option. However, as a player, you know better than anyone how sad it can be when you are substituted because of your poor performance. β
"So. Improving the ability to read the game and dealing with unfavorable situations through flexible tactical changes is a good way to improve your overall strength. I hope you can stick to this point in the future. β
"Okay, there's not much time, now it's time for us and I to express our opinions!"
Let's talk about it. Rehhagel turned his head and looked at the guy who had been quiet in the corner.
Lu Wei didn't react, just nodded slightly in approval, but the guys next to him were a little dazed.
Could it be that these two guys are also debating?
"Conventionally, the old ones come first. As mentioned before, the opponent's calm and composure in this game has exceeded our expectations. They are good at all-attacking and all-defensive play, and they are fully capable of covering every corner of the court. Hence the difficulty of using the side to make an article. Not much smaller than the mid lane. β
"In this case, we need to be very focused and try to do every detail of the pass and receive the ball as before, so that we can improve the efficiency of passing and receiving. The central attacker takes the ball with his back to the ball, and the closer he gets to the opponent's penalty area, the more so, therefore. It's important to keep up with the head-on response in a timely manner. The wing attack mostly takes the ball in the front, but the small space determines the singleness of the ball line. Therefore, the layered response in the middle lane has become an important help to open the side passage. β
"Alright, I'm done, it's your turn."
Rehhagel looked at the thoughtful disciples, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
Pity. As soon as Lu Wei spoke, everyone immediately froze.
"If Sforza and Latchenho switch sides, the opponent switches sides and focuses on our left side, how can we break it?"
There was silence. Everyone quickly came to their senses, and the CPU was running at high speed.
Booker is not an orthodox left wing-back, whether he plays on the left or in the middle, he and Sforza will inevitably have to contribute to the attack. If Latchinho, who is responsible for protecting this area, is not there, the left side of the defense will be quite weak!
Can the left side of the defense be solid?
"Time is running out, go ahead." Rehhagel was the first to come out of his thoughts, and his surprise flashed by, and he reminded in a deep voice.
"The situation at hand is a targeted arrangement after the opponent sees our weaknesses clearly. Using Latchinho as a firefighter is obviously unable to reverse the decline, and even if we can barely maintain the balance of the game, it will still be difficult for us to find the key to victory. β
"Changing sides is a thankless thing to take the initiative to show weakness and make a thankless effort."
"Also, the offense was our main theme in the second half, and it was impossible to put such an important offensive force in the defence."
"Think about it from a different perspective."
"What benefits can the front midfielder bring to the back in addition to reducing his own threat?"
"For playmakers who don't have a lot of space on their feet, enough space allows them to be at home and improve their passing and receiving efficiency."
"To sum up, not only is there no need to change sides, but Sforza should have more balls in attack and not have to think about their role in defence."
As soon as the words fell, Rehhagel looked at the hour hand that was about to come to the end, and quickly asked questions on behalf of everyone.
"How do you solve the problem of defense?"
Lu Wei smiled.
"Klistov is mainly deployed in the attack, and the position does not need to be forward. Correspondingly, the defense must be thorough, and it is best to squeeze the captain's position to the middle, and use the local numerical advantage to solve the high-pressure situation in the ribs. β
"Only on the basis of a balance between attack and defence, let them feel the defensive pressure, can the initiative of the game really change hands. Next, whether in the middle or on the left, the opponent will need to invest a lot of manpower to contain the danger. β
"Offensive is such a thing, they are good at area coverage, and if any point is unfavorable, they will quickly assemble and form a high pressure locally. In the current situation, we do not have the strength to press on the whole line. Therefore, it has become an inevitable choice to break the surface with points. β
"Like the boss, I also think that the middle or left is not a matter of choice. Changing the pace and direction in the attack is an effective means to improve efficiency, and only by being flexible can the opponent be unable to defend against it. β
Rehhagel smiled, shook his head and applauded, as if he had become a real spectator in such a debate.
In the rapid applause, everyone shook their heads a little.
How long does it take for such a guy to catch up? (To be continued......)
