As the clock slowly approached nine, all of Vixerna's players had arrived.

Their faces were still filled with the joy of victory, and everyone was in a very high mood.

Simon King first drove all the U19 coaches to the football field, then looked at the players who were changing their training uniforms and said: "Actually, I don't need to say, you should know the current situation. ”

'At the moment we are level on points with Belém, but we have a four-goal advantage.

"But no matter what, we still have to win the next game, we can't put our fate in the hands of others, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Since you understand, I won't say a lot of things, as for the traitor, you should also know what to do, right?"

Right-back Julio said: "Don't worry, sir, the captain called us one by one early in the morning, and we knew what to expect." ”

Shao Mu smiled and said, "Jin, your trick is really high!" I heard that there is a book of war in the Celestial Empire, what is it called "The Art of War", it seems that you have studied it a lot! ”

Simon King laughed, "I haven't seen it at all!" Alright, let's get moving, I'll leave the training ground to you, and I'll keep an eye on you in the office. ”

After sending off the players, Simon King opened the system again and found the interface of the Arouca team.

And the coaching habits of the opposing head coach Armando also attracted his attention.

"I don't like to be marked, I don't like to be offside...... Likes to give players free rein to play. ”

Seeing this, Simon King couldn't help frowning.

The main point of his bus swing tactic is to attract the opponent up, and then start from the midfield to carry out a long-distance run against offside.

However, Armando does not like to create offsides, which means that counter-attacking tactics may not be effective.

"Do you want to change your thinking and use high oppression?"

"Wait...... He doesn't like to be marked? That's not right! ”

In modern football, zone defence is often used in conjunction with offside tactics.

But Armando doesn't like man-marking, which means his team can only play zone defense.

"What does this mean? You play zone defense and don't like to play offside? ”

The more Simon King thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but ask the system: "System, Akaro is a little strange." ”

“……”

"Can you explain to me what kind of play is to use the zone defense without using the offside tactic?"

“……”

"System! Say something! ”

“……”

"Alas, it seems that the matter of finding an assistant coach is imminent, otherwise if you encounter a problem, you can't find anyone to discuss."

As soon as he thought about it, Simon King immediately thought about what would happen after the league ended.

There are too many older players in the squad at the moment, and with some possible transfers, the team has actually reached a stage where it needs to be rebuilt or semi-rebuilt.

After a moment of cranky thought, he opened the system again and looked at it.

"The tactical style is four-three-three short pass possession, playing zone defense and not liking offside...... What does this mean exactly? ”

Suddenly, a bold idea rose in his heart.

"Could it be that behind the four-three-three short pass possession, there is a deeper tactical play?"

The more Simon King thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt.

He quickly picked up the phone and called Jim, who recommended him for the head coach.

After learning of his intentions, Jim was silent for a long time, and only after five minutes did he speak: "If I'm not mistaken, when I was younger, there was a coach in the league who used the 'counter-attack short pass', maybe that's what you're talking about. ”

"Counter-offensive short passes? Literally, this is not scientific. ”

"It's really unscientific, but kid, you have to remember one thing, any tactic, there must be something for it. Moreover, if this coach is not unlucky, I am afraid that his style of play has long been inherited. ”

"In that case, this so-called counterattack short pass is actually quite powerful, isn't it?"

"How so...... This style of play was short-lived at the time. But I think it may be that the players of that era couldn't fully grasp the coach's intentions. In this case, I will ask the assistant to find some information for you, and you can study it yourself. ”

Hanging up the phone, Simon King directly checked the information on the short pass of the counteroffensive on the Internet, but unfortunately the content was pitiful, only a simple mention in the memoirs of a deceased old coach.

After a while, Jim's information came back.

Simon King couldn't wait to open it, and the four videos inside and several fragments of literature appeared in front of his eyes.

"The most effective counter-attack is never a long pass! Because the purpose of the long pass is too strong, it is impossible to pose a threat when facing a well-trained opponent. ”

"The so-called defense should start from the forward, the field is everywhere in the middle line, everywhere in the field of the penalty area, everywhere on the field is marking."

"They say offense is the best offense, but I think defense is the best offense. It's a pity that the players don't understand offense and defense, and they should never be separated. ”

"For me, it's definitely not just a one-on-one game, it's a process of control. If you can use four people to trap three people on the other side, then this kind of marking is successful. ”

"They all said I was crazy, that I was thinking of the middle line as the goal line, that it was the self-righteous self-righteousness of the incompetent, but I knew ...... I, Ricares Evangelista, am absolutely not wrong, and perhaps history will prove it for me one day. ”

Seeing this, Simon King was covered in heat.

A feeling of plausibility and plausibility galloped in his heart.

Before he knew it, a morning had passed, and the company doctor came to call him for dinner, and he didn't respond.

I don't know how long it took, Simon Jin Meng picked up the pen from the table and quickly drew a 4231 formation in his notebook.

"Use four people to trap three of the other party...... Or use seven people to trap five people on the other side...... That's why the Arouca team doesn't like to be marked by people! ”

"No, no, no, no! It's not that they don't like people to mark people, they are simply using people who are more powerful than people marking! ”

"If we talk about sectional attack and defense, it is more reflected in the offense. So the tactics of this senior are basically to divide the court into countless small areas, and he will give up the marking and control of some areas, so as to achieve local profits and play more and less! ”

"Offense is defense, defense is offense, and the pitch is everywhere in the middle line...... In this way, the short pass of the Arouca team is not for ball control at all! ”

Writing this, Simon King's pupils closed.

muttered to himself: "After a long time, Akaro is simply counterattacking in the opponent's half, and they are not playing short pass control at all!" Oh my God! ”
