Chapter 147: Forging the Trident
In the just-concluded Under-19 Ruhr derby, Borussia Dortmund's academy director Lars Ricken had an affair and did not follow the team to the away game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 So on the second day of the game, he came to the U19 to find Yebara and ask for the latest news.
When he pushed open the door to Yebara's office, he saw Yebarah staring intently at the computer screen.
He walked around behind Yebara and found Yebara watching the game footage.
"Yesterday's game?" he asked.
"Hmm. Yebara nodded.
"Exactly. I haven't seen it yet. Ricken pulled up a chair and sat down next to him and watched with Yebara.
It's a highlight, or maybe it's not a full footage of the game, it's just the last half-hour of the game.
It was after Mark came on the pitch.
When Mark scored the first goal, Ricken asked Yebara: "This is the ...... Mark, right?"
Yebara nodded.
Soon Mark scored the second goal with an assist from Zhou Yi.
"Oh! that's amazing! You can still send the ball into the opponent's goal with two defenders pressing close to you!" Ricken couldn't help but whistle and compliment.
Yebarah didn't speak.
Later, Mark assisted Zhou Yi to score the winning goal. This time, Ricken simply slapped it: "It's like you have eyes in the back of your head!
Later, Zhou Yi was replaced, and Mark continued to stay on the court, and he and Gotze also played many times. It's a pity that he couldn't score another goal to seal the win completely.
However, it was enough for Borussia Dortmund U19 to beat Schalke 04.
After watching the video of the game, Yebara asked Ricken, "Russ, what do you think?"
"I didn't see the previous part of the game, but only from the part of the game that I watched...... I think there's something interesting about that Mark, not only can he score goals, but he can also assist his team-mates, and at the same time he and Gotze look good together, and the two of them seem to be on the phone. ”
Ricken spoke his feelings.
Yebara nodded: "I think so too, that's why I watched the video again." In fact, before Mark Wagner came on the pitch, the format of the game was completely different and it was not good for us. It's hard for us to get too good chances up front. But when he got on the pitch, things were reversed. We scored three goals. But that's not the most important thing. Importantly...... After he came on, our attack up front was completely alive. ”
Yebara pointed to the frozen figure of Mark on the screen.
"The tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yi is very good. Ricken was not surprised by the cooperation between Mark and Zhou Yi. "To my surprise, he and Gotze work well together......
"Not surprisingly, Russ. Our forwards, whether it is the injured Stippman, or the current Jincek and Schneider, they are all tall center forwards, with a slight lack of skill at their feet, and they are not flexible enough, and their sense of tactical coordination is not particularly strong. It's really hard to get any sparks between them and Gotze. It's Mark Wagner, who has the skill of his feet, who is willing to run, who is agile and who has ideas...... So it can be combined with Götze. ”
"Look at me, I'll just say he's good. Why else would I have brought him up from U17 in the first place?" Ricken began to brag about his vision.
Yebala glanced at him: "But when he first arrived at my team, it wasn't like this, he could only cooperate with Zhou Yi, and he couldn't integrate into the team at all." ”
Ricken was silent.
"I sent him into the cold palace, but I didn't expect this kid to give up, but became more and more frustrated. Originally, I just wanted to reward him for training so hard. Unexpectedly, he seized the opportunity and persuaded me. Russ, I'm going to change our attacking tactics and build the Under-19 trident. ”
Ricken was a little surprised to hear Yebara say this: "Trident?"
"Yes. Yebara nodded. "Yesterday's game inspired me a lot. Gotze, Zhou Yi and Mark, all three of them are not tall, but they are all flexible. I'm going to put these three nimble little guys together in an attacking combo that makes the most of their characteristics and understanding. ”
Ricken thought back to what he had just seen Dortmund's fourth goal for the U19s. Gotze cut inside with the ball, and after being blocked, he passed the football to Mark, who received him in the middle, Mark took the ball to attract the opponent's defense, and knocked the football to Zhou Yi, who was in front of him, so that Zhou Yi could shoot and score without being marked......
From this ball, you may be able to see the future of this trident composition.
"I've got your back, Peter. Go for it!"
※ ※ ※
The next day, the players who participated in the game also returned to the team and the whole Under-19 team began normal training.
Although Zhou Yi was screamed by Leng Shuibing, I have to say that Sister Mark's method did have some effect. After a day, several of the places he was kicked in the game were not as painful as before, and the bruises had disappeared a lot.
When I went to training, my performance was a little better.
It looks like it's a normal day of training, right up to the point of attacking drill......
Before the start of the attacking training, head coach Peter Yebarra smiled and said to all the players involved: "Let's make a little game, kids. ”
As soon as I hear about making games, everyone's interest comes, which often means interesting training content. Especially their head coach still smiled and said.
"In an offensive game, we have six defenders, and your job is to defend three offensive players. ”
With that, Yebara called out Zhou Yi, Gotze, and Mark.
"And you. He said to the three players who had not yet figured out what was going on, "The task is to shoot the ball into the goal in two minutes, and if you don't score, you lose." If you don't even have a shot on goal, you lose. If you are cut off by the opponent while attacking, you lose. If the ball goes out of the sideline and the bottom line in attack, you lose. If the attacker is offside, you lose. Let's go to seven rounds and count the scores at the end. The losing side has to carry an opposing player on their backs to do a round-trip 25-meter switchback run. ”
Hearing the rules of the game, everyone was stunned.
They have done offensive and defensive training, but it is generally a ten-on-eight offensive and defensive training, such as ten on the offensive side and eight on the defending side, which is done to practice defense. When practicing attacking, there are eight attackers and ten defenders.
The difference in numbers is two goals.
But now there are twice as many defenders as the attackers...... They really haven't done it.
This is really unfair to the attacking side.
Many people feel that the attacker is definitely losing.
Schneider was dumbfounded, too—is this training? Isn't this really difficult?
He was suddenly a little glad that he hadn't been drafted by the manager......
Zhou Yi and the three were also surprised, and they turned their puzzled eyes to the head coach.
Yebala smiled and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "Although it's a game, don't admit defeat easily." ”
He didn't explain why he did it, nor did he ask Zhou Yi, Gotze and Mark what to do, and after that, he withdrew from the training area.
"Ready to train!" he shouted, holding the whistle to his mouth.
The other attacking players glanced at each other and stepped back to stand on the sidelines. The only attacking players in red vests on the field were Gotze, Zhou Yi and Mark, and in front of them were six defenders in blue vests in addition to the goalkeeper, four defenders and two midfielders.
The attacking trio looked at each other, and then Zhou Yi raised his hand and asked the head coach: "Coach, can you shoot from a distance?"
"Yes. But all three of you have to touch the football before you shoot, otherwise the goal will be invalidated. Yebara took off the whistle and answered Zhou Yi's question. "Can we start?"
"Wait a minute, let's discuss the strategy!" Zhou Yi waved his hand, and then beckoned the three of them to his side.
The three of them stood in the middle circle, discussing in low voices.
"Do you have any ideas, Zhou Yi?" asked Mark.
"Since we can shoot from distance, let's touch the ball once and pass the ball to Mario and let Gotze finish the long shot. This way, you don't have to deal with defenders who have a clear numerical advantage. "Zhou Yi naturally already has a countermeasure.
"Good idea. Mark was obedient to Zhou Yi.
Although Gotze felt that Zhou Yi's approach was a bit of a loophole in the rules, it was also a solution, who let the opponent's number of defensive players double theirs. So he nodded in agreement.
"That's it, kick off in a minute, Mark gives me the football, I'm giving the football to Mario, and then Mario you shoot. ”
After discussing, Zhou Yi shouted to Yebala on the sidelines: "It's time to start!"
The three of them stood in the middle circle.
Seeing that everyone was in place, Yabarah blew the whistle in his mouth.
Hearing the whistle, Marco kicked the football to Zhou Yi, who turned around and passed the football to Gotze, who had already run up.
After receiving the ball, Gotze made a slight adjustment and shot from a distance of about 378 meters from the goal!
Seeing Gotze shoot from such a distance, Yebara sneered.
The goalkeeper standing in front of the goal didn't even make a save, and turned his head to see the ball fly high and off the line......
Just as the ball flew off the line, Yebala blew the whistle: "Attacker, lose a point!" he said loudly with a finger raised.
Zhou Yi turned his head to look at the head coach in a daze, only to realize that they had lost the first of ten rounds......
Reacting to this, he shouted at Gotze: "Damn, Mario, don't you shoot accurately!"
Gotze resolutely refused: "You gave me a shot from forty meters from the goal?"
Zhou Yi was speechless, so he raised his hand: "Okay, let's push forward a little further......"
The spectators on the field realized that Zhou Yi was going to avoid the defenders with a long-range shot and send the football directly into the goal, but it was too whimsical to want to get a hole in the hole from such a distance.
So they all laughed, worried about the intelligence of the attacking trio.
Yebara's whistle blew and training resumed.
This time, Zhou Yi waited for Gotze to run forward a little more before passing the football over.
After receiving the ball, Gotze adjusts and then shoots from distance before the defenders can rush over.
But this time the ball was still over the bar......
"Attacker, lose two points!"
"It's still too far!" Götze grumbled.
The audience laughed again, gloating - fortunately it wasn't us who attacked it......
※ ※ ※
In the third game, Zhou Yi waited for Gotze to run forward for a distance before passing the football over.
This time it was much closer than the previous two times, but as soon as Gotze received the ball, he was surrounded by three defenders of the opposing team, and one accidentally lost the ball......
Yebara's whistle sounded again: "Attacker, lose three points!"
"Ahhh
Fourth inning.
Zhou Yi's pass was directly grabbed by the defender who saw through his intentions and snatched it away from Götze.
"Attacker, lose four points!"
In seven games, the attackers have lost four games, and even if the attackers win all the last three games, it cannot change the fact that they lost.
So Yebara whistled and stopped the game.
"It's over, you're losing. Yebara came on the pitch and pointed to the attacking trio.
The three of them were already stunned.
"If you want to gamble and lose, choose one yourself, and run on your back. Yebara said, pointing to the six defenders opposite.
Zhou Yi was a little dizzy at a glance - all of them were tall and strong men!
Do you want to carry them on their backs for a 25-meter switchback?
This little body of oneself...... It's a weight that life can't bear!
"Can you not carry it......" Zhou Yi wanted to play tricks.
Yebara smiled and nodded, "Yes, but you can't play in the next game." Take your pick. ”
When Zhou Yi heard this, he hurriedly shrunk his neck to find someone.
In the end, he stood in front of the team's captain, Marco Hohenshu.
He looked up at the captain and asked cautiously, "That, captain...... How much do you weigh?"
Hornshu smiled and said, "Eighty-nine, kilograms." ”
Zhou Yi wailed: "What are you doing with such a tall and strong right-back......"
Huo Enshu had already opened his arms and said with a smile: "Come on, Zhou Yi, carry me." ”
This tone was like a girl waiting for her lover to hug, but Zhou Yi shivered.
He turned around and squatted down with a sad face, and when Huo Enshu's whole body pressed up, Zhou Yi almost knelt on the turf with no knees.
"Damn, captain, it's time for you to lose weight!" Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, the bruises on his neck were rising, and his whole face was red all the way to the base of his neck - this was not shyness, but force.
He finally carried Hornshu on his back, but found that it was difficult to even move his legs.
It is indeed too difficult for a small man who is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 65 kilograms to carry a strong man who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 89 kilograms.
Of course, the other two are not much better than Zhou Yi......
Next to him, Yebara was still urging them loudly: "Move, step on the left leg, step on the right leg, stand still, twenty-five meters is not a little less!"
So the three of them had no choice but to "move" to the turnaround point with difficulty......
Of course, they didn't forget to fight and shake the pot, mainly because Zhou Yi and Gotze threw each other, and Mark was a soy sauce player.
"Mario...... It's time for you to practice your long shot!"
"You can do it, you can come so far! It's your own strategy...... Out of ...... Question!"
"I'm ...... I am...... Trust you so much, you ...... And, how can you say that?"
"No matter how good I am at shooting from a distance, I can't shoot from that far away...... Okay!"
The two of them shook the pot and quarreled and affected their speed, but Mark, who was silent about soy sauce, had already moved in front of them.
"Damn, Mark, you...... You sneak away!" Zhou Yi, who found out, shouted.
"What...... What do you mean by sneaking away!" Mark franted. He is a little better than Zhou Yi and Ge Ce in terms of height and weight, and his strength is relatively better, it is normal to have this performance, but Zhou Yi's words made his efforts become stealing and cheating.
Watching the three of them crawl like snails on the court and bicker, the teammates on the sidelines all leaned back and closed in laughter.
Schneider was also smiling – it was great to see them mess up!
Even Yebara couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and he shook his head while laughing.
