In the 75th minute, Leicester City ran out of three substitutions, with Rossi replacing Mahrez.

Lao Lei smiled at Ramsey, the coach of the youth team and the assistant coach of the first team, as if he knew it in advance.

"Vardy? You're kidding, how can that rookie compare to Vardy. ”

Ramsey recalled the conversation with Redknapp the other day.

Old Ray sat down on the stool next to the tactical board, his fragile knees constantly reminding him to take a break.

'To say he's Vardy is an exaggeration. But I always have a habit of not only finding the flaws of my opponent, but also putting myself in the opponent's perspective and thinking about the flaws in my tactics. ”

He wanted to get the pen from the tactical board, but some rusty knees made it difficult for him to get up, and Ramsey hurriedly sent him over.

"Thank you very much."

Redknapp pulled off his cap, drew two circles on the tactical board, and said slowly: "In the first meeting of the season, we were conceded by Jamie Vardy's breakthrough in the ribs. ”

Ramsey still remembers the events of that game.

At that time, Vardy retreated to the ribs to receive the ball, and after taking the ball, he used his speed to slaughter the full-backs first and then the central defenders, as if he was in a no-man's land.

If you hadn't adjusted the formation in time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been as simple as conceding a goal.

"But, that Luo ...... Rossi is not fast, and he simply does not have this ability. ”

Redknapp said: "Old friend, if you want to be a good coach, you have to stand on the opposite side to find your own problems and fix them further. ”

Lao Lei is 67 years old, and an accidental car accident 14 years ago, although it did not take his life, made him lose his sense of taste.

As I got older, my knee injury became more and more serious, and it was difficult to continue coaching.

Ramsey may be his successor.

'Nigel has coached a number of Championship teams and has his own unique perspective on tactical play. I've thought of a lot of ways to deal with this formation, and I think Nigel will eventually use a central striker and a wide switch to build up a wing advantage. ”

"As long as the wing has the advantage, you can pass it to the midfielder who inserts it in the middle, or you can pass it to the goalkeeper."

The two passing routes that Redknapp drew on the tactical board, like sharp knives, plunged into Ramsey's heart at once.

He had thought of a lot of coping strategies, but never thought about using the lateral movement of the center to establish a wing advantage.

His mind opened up instantly, and he immediately said: "There must be players in the middle who are good at outflanking and grabbing points." Chris Wood and Nugent could both pose a threat in this position. ”

Redknapp looked at the "disciple" with satisfaction and said, "If I were the opposing head coach, the center forward position would definitely be that kid." ”

Why?

Ramsey was puzzled.

According to the data, Rossi has shown great header ability in the Under-21 league.

But this is the Championship, not to mention the huge difference in technique, but also in the body.

With his small body, how could he grab a header.

"With all due respect, I'm afraid that kid can't do it."

It's not that I look down on Rosie, it's the facts that are in front of me.

Physically, bounced, and speed, Rossi can't compare to the defenders in the team, and even the young player Yoon Seok-young from South Korea in the team is a little better than him.

Lao Lei smiled: "If he is asked to fight for speed and body, then Nigel will not be able to bring Leicester City to the top of the table." ”

Looking at Ramsey's puzzled gaze, Lao Lei said slowly: "Speed does not all refer to the speed of the players themselves. ”

After Rossi came on the pitch, he whispered a few words in Nugent's ear, explaining the tactics assigned by the manager.

Nugent paused for a second before running to the right.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for making his home debut and getting the player skill card: knocking the ball and changing direction."

Player skill cards?

Rossi was ecstatic in his heart, and he was worried that he had used up the "Highlight Moment Card". The reward of the system just solves the urgent need.

However, this skill is a skill that uses the heel to knock the ball and shake off the close defender when breaking through at high speed, and flashes out of the gap.

But I don't have a speed advantage.

The referee blows the whistle to resume the game, Leicester City attack.

Or patiently pass the ball sideways and look for gaps.

The game has been played for 75 minutes, and the physical crisis of the players will also be reflected in the defensive awareness.

Pearson wanted the players to seize this opportunity and constantly mobilize the defense, so that the already impregnable defense had a little hole.

Sure enough, Queens Park Rangers midfielder Gary O'Neal was a little late in his return, and Drinkwater's pass quickly reached the feet of Lloyd Dyer on the left flank.

Left wing-back Yoon Seok-young was very timely and clung to prevent Dier from breaking through.

The 32-year-old Lloyd Dyer is not as explosive as before, and it is difficult to get rid of Yoon Seok-young's defense, and when he looked up and saw Rossi pulled out laterally from the middle, he passed it out without hesitation.

In charge of keeping an eye on Rossi is Nigerian centre-back Onuoha, who is about the same height, but Onuoha is many times stronger than Rossi.

As a counterpoint defender, Onuoha looked down on the dark-haired kid, who was so thin that he could be lifted off the pitch with just a touch of it.

And since Rossi came on the field, he has been walking in the penalty area, as if shopping.

But such a hairy boy, why does the coach have to deliberately explain himself, he must always keep an eye on it, and it is best not to let him have a chance to get the ball.

Even if he gets the ball, what can he do?

Onuoha followed, but there was no more interference.

In his opinion, defending Rossi couldn't be easier.

However, Redknapp's face changed from the field, and he sat up straight and looked at the court intently.

Rossi moved from the centre of the box to the left and ran outside the box to receive the pass, while Onuoha was observed to follow.

And the rest of the defenders are also retreating, forming a situation of encirclement.

In this case, he can only move to the left after receiving the ball, attracting the left-back and wing-back to trap and then return the ball to the middle.

Then it is transferred from the middle and hit the weak position on the right rib.

However, once the timing of the transfer is delayed, the opponent will already be back in place, which is no different from the previous style of play.

Although Onuoha looks down on Rossi, he is still conscientious in defense.

Instead of being directly behind Rossi, he stood sideways and blocked the left side to prevent him from turning to face the goal.

At the same time, he pressed and forced Rossi to take the ball and walk to the left touchline.

Such a defensive strategy is not wrong, but Redknapp is faintly uneasy off the field.

I always feel that if this position allows Rossi to take the ball, there will be unexpected results.

Rossi stepped forward to catch the ball, took a big step forward with his left foot, used his left foot as a foothold, and gently knocked his right heel back to pass the ball back into the middle.

Onuoha behind him was stunned, this was a thousand calculations, but he didn't count that Rossi would pass the ball.

With the blessing of the ability to "touch the ball accurately", Rossi's ability to hit the ball with one foot has been greatly improved, plus 80 points of skill and dribbling, such a fine foot technique is simply handy.

Lao Lei on the sidelines slapped his thigh angrily, and what he was worried about still appeared.

In the video, Rossi's little tricks are excellent, and there are always unexpected movements.

That's why he told Onuoha to keep an eye on Rossi at all times, and even not give him the ball.

Sure enough, despite Onuoha's correct defense, the ball was magically passed down the middle.

Onuoha's gaze moved to the right as the ball moved sideways, and to his surprise, outside the penalty area, Drinkwater's figure appeared.

He subconsciously lifted his right foot upwards and lifted the ball with his toes.

This flirt not only slowed down the ball, but also made the ball bounce off the ground, preventing Drinkwater from shooting comfortably.

The defenders who made up the defence forced Drinkwater to have no time to make adjustments, and a burst of shots followed, and the ball shot like a cannonball into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Green leaped hard, his arm fully extended, and his fingertips lightly touched the ball.

Duang！

The ball hit the left-hand post and bounced out of the goal, but was cleared by a defender and Queens Park Rangers escaped.

Ramsey was also dumbfounded, he finally understood why Old Ray valued Rossi.

He is not fast, but his ability to handle the ball with one kick can make the team's attack faster.

This is also what Lao Lei said, another kind of speed on the field, team speed.
