Vol.1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 5: The Derby (1)
The atmosphere of Vixerna is no longer as unbearable as it used to be.
If we talk about the team meeting room in the past, silence will always be the main theme.
Then the current conference room is definitely a classroom for discussing tactics, and the voices of the players are everywhere.
Seeing Simon King come in, the captain Marco Paul immediately organized everyone to sit down and led the team to pay tribute to him.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the team had changed, Simon King was satisfied with taking out a stack of printer paper from the folder and handing them to their respective players.
These are the results of his hard work overnight, and on each piece of paper, the players' on-field tasks are recorded, and at the same time, according to the ability to adjust the situation, they are clearly and clearly written what they want to do and what they should avoid doing.
"Remember what I said yesterday about switching between offense and defense? It's so much that I don't think I need to repeat it. ”
"So at today's pre-war meeting, I'm just going to say two things:
1. How to combine the personal habits of Guimaraes players and adopt targeted defense;
2. How to carry out effective offensive and defensive transitions according to targeted defense. ”
After a long time, captain Marco Paul, who had already learned that he would start, stood up.
"Sir, according to your requirements, the opponent's forward midfield and breaking midfield will be important pieces for us to use, but I have a problem."
"Tell me Captain, what's the problem." Simon King asked.
'When their midfielder, Thiago Silva, was on my left side, you asked Croudmeier, who was playing as a right midfielder, to make a tackle from behind the opposition's flank, and I understand that.
"Get to the point!"
"Yes, sir. What I want to ask is that if Claude Mill were to make a tackle on him, he would be out of his original defensive zone. But you don't allow the central defenders to come forward to make up for the defense, so isn't the front of the penalty area empty? ”
"Captain, did you really listen to it just now?"
Before Simon King could answer, the star player Shaomu, who was placed in the midfield position, and Kiko Ponatti, another star player who was originally playing as a winger, but was set as a midfielder in this game and did not get the chance to start, opened their mouths at the same time.
After the two looked at each other and smiled, Yu Shaomu continued: "That position will be filled by me or Bonatti. And this kind of defense can also make room for the forwards to retreat, so that the wingers can get the opportunity to counterattack. ”
"That's right!"
Bonatti also added confidently: "And if there is enough space, Samuki and I even have the opportunity to play a long pass directly behind them!" ”
"Uh...... Is that the case? ”
Marco Paul was a little embarrassed because he was the captain after all, but he didn't fully grasp the manager's intentions.
With everything in mind, Simon King immediately realized his problem: not every player has the ability to treat eleven people as a whole!
So he turned on "super persuasion" again and ordered the players to assemble on the football field immediately.
After bringing twenty-two two-color logo barrels from the sidelines, Simon King became a bitter grandmother.
By constantly moving these sign barrels, he was able to fully manifest his tactical requirements.
As the skills come into play, and the focus on wanting to win, the players' doubts are solved one by one.
More often than not, however, it was the players who picked up the bucket of their symbols, began to simulate their work, and duly asked Simon King if it was correct.
Simon King patiently responded to all the questions, and his heart was very relieved.
For this game that Vixerna must lose in the eyes of the world, he is already completely sure!
……
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, half an hour before the start of the game.
Guimaraes' players have completed their warm-up and announced their squad for the match.
As Simon King expected, the opponent continued to use the tactical formation of 4231, and even the starters did not make any changes.
Seeing that everything was in Simon King's plan, the players waiting for the game in the locker room became extremely excited.
Captain Marco Paul rallied the players together and excitedly shouted, "Let's fight for Vixerna!" Fight for the Champions League! Fight for the fans! Fight for Kim! ”
"Fight! War! War! ”
……
By the time King walked out of the tunnel, Guimaraes' head coach Peba had been waiting for him for no longer known how long.
Peba is a dark-skinned, middle-aged man, about forty years old, with sharp eyes.
He stretched out his hand to Simon King and said, "Congratulations, young man, I hope today will be a duel of equal strength!" ”
After that, he didn't wait for Simon King to respond, just let go of his hand and stepped back to his seat.
Simon Kim smiled slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Play psychological warfare with me, do you have a system?" Do you know what kind of personality I have, what kind of play? Silly X! ”
That's right, the reason why Simon King was able to master the opponent's offensive style and thinking, in addition to his own observation and analysis, was mainly due to the system.
In the system, he can view not only the players, but even the abilities of the opposing manager.
That's why he seems so confident in this game.
Soon, as the on-site commentator introduced the lineups of the two sides, under the attention of 6,000 home spectators, this battle of honor and life and death for Weixue Na kicked off!
In the first half, it was Guimaraes who kicked off first.
As usual, they kicked the ball to the backfield and then tried to find space on the wings through short passes from midfielders and full-backs.
Traditionally, Verchner is a team that likes to defend aggressively up front, so they are very confident in their possession play.
They believe that as long as they keep the ball at their feet, it won't be long before Vichena's players will be out of position due to the gradual decline in fitness and the anxiety caused by not being able to reach the ball for a long time.
But what they didn't know was that all of this was actually in Vixanna's plan.
Simon King's two-day tactical lesson transformed these big bosses, who have always made mastering the ball their first priority, into a group of cunning foxes.
Not only are they not anxious about not being on the ball now, but they even have the idea of wishing that the opponent would make fewer passing mistakes.
As Simon King told them, "Do you think the purpose of the bus is to defend?" ”
"Big mistake!"
"What we really have to do is to bring the opposing players to our own half as much as possible, so that they are behind us and leave space for us to run long distances!"
So, by the time the game had ten minutes into play, Vixerna's players had all retreated to the backcourt.
Even striker Cassiano ran to the halfway point of the line.
