Chapter 50: Changing Formations
No one expected that the match against Cardiff City would still end up being 0-0. Cardiff City did not score, as did Wigan Athletic.
This result is acceptable to Cardiff City, Wigan Athletic is a promoted horse like them, but whether it is last season's League Two or this season's League One, Wigan Athletic's performance is very strong, so strong that Cardiff City can only look at its back, and it is already very good to get a draw at home.
Wigan Athletic had a hard time accepting it.
If it's a good game, but two away games in a row, two consecutive 0-0s, this result is not too bad, but think about the current Wigan Athletic is in the top few leagues, and both opponents are lower teams in the standings, the results are not very good.
With just two points from two games, Wigan Athletic dropped to fifth place and were overtaken by a hotly strained West Ham United.
Rankings are not a problem, after all, the league is only a quarter of the way out, there are still many games to play, and a short defeat or two is nothing, but manager Jevier is aware of some problems.
For example, the team's offensive routine is one-dimensional, and it is easy to be targeted by the opponent, and when Ridell is carefully marked, their offense is a bit chaotic, and it is difficult to threaten without discipline.
For example, Erlington, as the only center forward, is very closely defended by the opponent, and his individual ability is good, but when no one is answered in the penalty area, it is too difficult and difficult to grab the ball and score the ball.
For another example, Zhang Tiehan's personal ability characteristics are too obvious, as long as the opponent truncates his route to the ball, it is difficult for him to do anything in the frontcourt.
And so on and so forth.
There are many problems in the team, in summary, it is still a problem of the individual ability of the players, this tactical system is placed on the Premier League team, there should be no problem, but Wigan Athletic is not a Premier League team, the individual ability of the players is limited, Ellington is not Van Nistelrooy, Henry, Defoe, Lee Makalocchi is not as good as Giggs, Joe Cole, Pire, and similarly, Ridel is not Rivaldo, Gerrard, Ronaldinho.
The difference between the players is too obvious, in short, the team's player creativity is not too strong, the team can get only a few players, and the opponent is too targeted to defend, it is likely to limit the team's attack, and the means of scoring will be very weak.
Tactics, players, etc., are all problems.
These problems exist before the start of the game, every League One team has them, Wigan Athletic has them, their opponents also have them, but Jewell does not have a very good way to solve them, this is a problem of the overall strength of the team, want to solve it? It's simple, bring in a few big-name stars and the problem goes away right away.
But Wigan Athletic can't do that, the team's funds are very limited.
Then the only solution is to bring the tactics to life!
For example, West Bromwich Albion, Norwich City, West Ham United, such League One teams, the problem in this regard is much smaller, the overall strength of their players is much higher than Wigan Athletic, so they play a fixed tactical system, there are many fewer problems, they will play better, this is the suppression of the overall strength of the team.
Wigan Athletic is not good, the overall strength of the team is not as good as the opponent, so they must improve from a tactical point of view, maybe find other solutions, otherwise they will lose the initiative in many games.
The only good news is that the team is doing a good job defensively.
Two 0-0 games mean that the offense is not good, but there has been nothing wrong in the defense, with Zhang Tiehan in the backfield and experienced Brekin on the back line, the team's defense is still very solid, at least it is very difficult for the lower teams in the League One to break through the team's defense.
Not in Coventry, not in Cardiff City.
Jewell half-squatted on the grass, looking at the fast-running figure in front of the training ground, he rushed forward with the ball from the side, directly to the bottom line, the two defenders who came to defend were very cautious, but he pushed him to the ground with a slight force.
"Beep!" Assistant coach Strum blew the whistle for the timeout, hurriedly ran over, and scolded, "Zhang, this is just a training match, don't make dangerous moves to your teammates!" ”
Zhang Tiehan shrugged innocently, "But I just used my back to protect the ball......"
Everyone looked at him.
Zhang Tiehan had to spread his hands and said, "Okay, Matt, Jensen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to protect the ball, and I didn't foul ...... just now."
Matt Jackson stood up, hit the grass clippings on his body, and said helplessly, "Zhang, next time I won't defend you again, you know, your back is as hard as steel, I should call you Iron Man, I really don't want to defend Iron Man." ”
"Matt, your statement is so appropriate, I was almost suffocated by the bang, we have to protest, we shouldn't let Iron Man play!" Jenson also quipped.
They weren't angry, not to mention that Zhang Tiehan didn't foul just now, this kind of thing has been experienced many times in training matches, and there is no one who fights against Zhang Tiehan who doesn't complain, some of them just want to go over and grab the ball, and the consequences of reasonable collisions are often their losses.
Always suffers and feels absolutely bad!
Everyone was too convinced of Zhang Tiehan's body, so they tried to avoid going head-to-head with Zhang Tiehan, and as a result, Zhang Tiehan often performed quite well in training matches...... No one here is going to deliberately foul him, and no one is going out of their way to defend him.
Jewell smiled and looked at Zhang Tiehan, who was joking with his teammates in the field, and was also a little relieved. This young man is reckless at times, especially in training matches, he is serious as if he was in a game, which is good, and how many people can do that if they treat training matches as competitions?
It's just that he ...... The body is too strong.
It should be said that the strength is too great, and the big one gives other players a headache, so he often bumps and bumps, and there are always some problems, but fortunately, he has a good relationship with his teammates, everyone knows him, and they will not be really angry with him.
He's brilliant, very good.
Strength, good body, good endurance, strong long-range shooting ability, occasionally able to play a surprising ability to grab points, etc., all aspects are very strong, the only deficiency may be that his personal skills are not very good, his ability to control the ball is too poor, and his ability to cooperate with teammates is also very poor, it is difficult for him to play any role in the offensive advancement.
Comparatively...... The features are more obvious than Ellington, but the disadvantages are also much more obvious than Ellington.
Ellington? And Zhang?
Jewell suddenly had a long mouth, opened for a long time, his face was full of surprise, and then there was a wave of surprise and hesitation, he struggled for a while, and suddenly stood up and waved towards the court, "Stop! Stop it! ”
The training match was aborted and everyone on the pitch watched.
"What's wrong? Jewell? Strummer, who was acting as a referee, ran up to Jewell and asked.
Jewell didn't answer, just asked everyone to gather and ordered, "Zhang, next you and Ellington pair up as a double striker, Steven, you switch to the red team to play center back, Leighton, you and Lee's position is a little back, let's try the 442 formation." ”
Everyone grew up and turned their heads to look at Zhang Tiehan who was standing aside.
Zhang Tiehan and Ellington pair up as two strikers? Is this to advance Zhang Tiehan from the back to the rhythm of the striker?
Zhang Tiehan was also very dazed.
His predecessor played in the back, he also played in the back, the overall feeling is not bad, this position is very good to play his strength, but now Jevier let himself play as a striker, what does it mean?
Zhang Tiehan was a little inexplicable.
Jewell also specially advised, "Ellington, your position should be appropriately retreated, cooperate with the team to find opportunities, of course, try to plug in when you can, always, you are the second striker, everyone else, no matter who it is, will drop the ball into the penalty area when you have the opportunity, Zhang, you stand at the front of the team, pay attention to grabbing points, pay attention to running, of course, also pay attention to not offside......"
Zhang Tiehan was a little dazed when he heard this, but he still nodded.
It doesn't matter what to do, anyway, his ability is here, Jewell lets himself play whatever position he wants, everything will wait for the ancient power of the body to be unsealed, and then with the new ability, his strength will definitely rise to a higher level, and then what to do, then I will think about it.
