Five o'clock the next morning.

Anne took Xiaodong to get up early, went to school with Li Yuan, and accompanied Li Yuan to participate in the training of the school football team.

As soon as I arrived at the court, I saw Yang Fan and Li Qiang already running and warming up from a distance.

"Yuan'er, hurry up, hurry up, let's leave half an hour early at noon today, my dad said to take me to the wedding led by him." Yang Fan said as he ran.

"It's good to attend the wedding, there is a banquet to eat." Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Fanzi, then you bring me and my brother with you, the two of us are worried about not knowing what to eat at noon." Anne said this, and laughed first.

"Okay, bring it, bring it all with you, go together, don't eat for nothing."

"I'll go, Fanzi, you brought us all with Dad Yang and won't become the emperor Ama, where did so many elder brothers come from, and there is even a princess, hahahaha." Li Yuan changed his shoes and joined the team for the morning jog.

"Xiao Dong, let's go" Li Yuan beckoned Xiao Dong to join the morning run.

"Brother Yuan, your team is so good, so early, everyone is so positive, eh, unlike our school's basketball team, every time we talk about training, we take turns to be absent, and no one can get there." Xiao Dong said with a sigh.

Anne sat in the stands of the stadium with these future football superstars, Anne understood Li Yuan, she always felt that Li Yuan was extremely talented in football, and Anne even thought that Li Yuan could become the new generation of China's Beckham.

First came a 5 lap, one lap is 400 meters, and 5 laps is 2000 meters.

There are thousands of football formations, and different clubs and different national leagues will have their own set of unique skills at the bottom of the box, which are generally related to their own cultural heritage.

Football, as a popular sports culture, will inevitably integrate with each country's own culture.

Li Yuan believes that it is naturally not a simple matter for him to choose the right one he needs among thousands of formations.

Li Yuan first wrote down several common formations in modern football, and then compared them one by one.

Because the Secondary League is not a regional cup competition, the Secondary League is a very long-lasting competition.

If we're lucky, it's going to be a two-semester, six-month tournament.

In Li Yuan's mind, if a team wants to achieve good results in such a long league, the first thing is to fix a set of formations.

This fixed formation will be the normal formation used in the game, so that it can be adapted.

If you're a fan, you'll know that there is hardly a team that can change their formation every round and win the title.

If a team fixes a set of formations for a long time, then even if there are some special circumstances in the game, the players can quickly adjust themselves and will not make mistakes because the formation is unfamiliar.

In addition to fixing the formation, Li Yuan also had to determine a changing formation.

The role of this so-called variable formation is generally the opposite of, or complementary to, fixed formation.

Changing the formation is to prevent that in case of problems in the game, Li Yuan can quickly give adjustment signals through substitutions and other methods, and switch the formation, so as to change the situation on the field.

Generally speaking, there will be a big change between the two sets of formations, the fixed formation is mainly safe or conservative, and then the change formation is mainly attacking.

This is the first thing to do in a general game is to reduce mistakes, and then slowly disintegrate the opponent, so the fixed formation is generally a more stable formation. If the team falls behind due to some unplanned circumstances and needs to fight, you need to adjust quickly to fight for your life.

Europe's top coaches Sir Robson, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho are all good players. Jose Mourinho, in particular, has been particularly evident in this regard.

During the Chelsea period, Jose Mourinho's team generally dominated the starting formation, with a large number of good players piled up in the midfield to strangle in the midfield, and countless giants hated Stamford Bridge, and the scene was agitated.

And if the score is behind, Mourinho will often make surprising moves, such as adjusting to a three-striker or even a four-striker to make a last-ditch fight, which often works wonders.

Li Yuan thought for a moment, and then wrote down three numbers in his notebook, 4-4-2.

The 4-4-2 formation can be regarded as the most famous formation in today's football, and the evergreen formation can be said to be the ancestor of all formations in modern football and the source of all formations.

The 4-4-2 was first used and carried forward by England, and the emergence of the 4-4-2 formation can be called another real football revolution.

Because after such a tactical concept was proposed, unlike the Dutch all-out attack and defense, 4-4-2 was a huge success for both the national team and the club in practice.

With this team, the England team won the Gold Cup in one fell swoop at the World Cup held on home soil, establishing England's status as a giant in world football.

Even if England's results got worse and worse, and it was rare to break into the top four of top competitions such as the European Cup and the World Cup, but with a World Cup and a deep reform of modern football, England is still ranked among the top giants in the world.

After the England national team won the World Cup 4-4-2, many clubs in the British Isles have also established their own 4-4-2 system.

And the English team also lived up to expectations, almost monopolizing the European Champions Cup and other top European cup titles for a long time.

It wasn't until the later 99 season of Manchester United that there were clubs that brought this formation to the peak.

The Premier League, the FA Cup, the European Cup, and the treble have once again completed the great revival of English football on the continent.

At that time, the golden midfield led by Ryan Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham was also difficult to match in Europe.

However, with the transformation of Manchester United's continental football, Sir Alex Ferguson personally dismantled the golden midfield that once roared in Europe, and the 4-4-2 formation was considered to have withdrawn from the top European stage.

At that time, no one thought that more than ten years later, another English team would carry the banner of 4-4-2, subvert the entire Premier League and achieve an immortal legend.

It was a fox that no one expected.

After Li Yuan wrote 4-4-2, he thought for a while, and then wrote the word "Ping" after the number.

Yes, in Li Yuan's eyes, 4-4-2 under normal circumstances is too balanced or mediocre.

Unless you can assemble four top midfielders to form a golden midfield, as Manchester United did, or four no.10s to form a dream quartet like Milan, it will be difficult to win the title 4-4-2.

Li Yuan thinks that he can refer to the England team, which seems to have developed a perverted dependence on the 4-4-2 formation since its success with the 4-4-2 formation.

While other teams are constantly reinventing and reinventing new formations and new football concepts, England are still clinging to the 4-4-2 formation, always remembering the glory of the past in the book of credit.

England has never lacked talented players and talented midfielders, but whether it is Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, these famous midfielders in world football, their experience in the England national team is hardly successful.

When England fell again and again in the quarter-finals and even in the group stage, 4-4-2 seemed to prove no longer in line with the ever-improving world football, and even if there were successes, it would be short-lived.

Li Yuan hesitated for a while, wrote another line of numbers under 4-4-2, 4-1-2-1-2, and then wrote six words after the numbers, "big diamond" and "small diamond".

Yang Fan glanced at it and said, "Yuan'er, I think your idea is amazing."

"Who is Yuan'er? Our Yuan'er is a small shell in No. 1 Middle School! ”

"I said don't make fun of me, let's discuss something serious." Li Yuan said with a smile.

4-1-2-1-2 can actually be considered a variant of the 4-4-2 formation.

In the usual 4-4-2 formation, the back four form a defensive system, parallel positions, and the four midfielders are also parallel positions. In the 4-1-2-1-2 game, the parallel position of the four midfielders was changed to a 1-2-1 diamond position while the back four positions remained the same, and because the "2" was different, it became two situations.

When one of the two central midfielders in the four parallel midfielders pushes forward and becomes a midfielder behind the striker, the other central midfielder drags back to the defender and becomes a midfielder, leaving the left and right midfielders unchanged, so that the midfield is re-formed into a large diamond position.

This formation pays more attention to the wing attack, and if it is equipped with two fast horses on the wing, it can play the wings and play the whirlwind tactic.

Li Yuan scratched his head, anxious.
