Leicester City FC, Manager's Office.

Pearson took his coaching staff to review the game against Everton.

With a two-goal lead, the opponent chased two goals in a row, and Lyicester City scored a point away from home.

Although the score was expected before the game, the outcome of the game did not displease Pearson.

If you fall behind first and then reverse, this result is readily accepted.

In fact, it was the lead that was forced to tie, and although the result was the same, the second scenario was not easy to accept.

The turning point of the game was from the second half, and the team's counter-attack was not pushed up because there was no point in the midfield.

Replaced by Drinkwater, it still did not improve much, but was scored by the opponent.

Pearson fixed the scene on the team's first counter-attack and made a mark.

"In this counterattack, there were only three counter-attacking points, and after Mahrez got the ball, he was trapped, and I thought the counterattack was over."

'However, Ronaldo's sudden appearance opened up the middle and cleverly distributed the ball to the wings.

This tactical idea is clear and it is a classic quick counterattack.

"It's a counter-attack that we've always used to attack, but it's hard to play in the circumstances."

Craig said: "In other words, this counterattack is an adjustment made by Rowe after judging the situation of the game, and the same is true for the second goal."

It's a skill that only a good player has, and if these two times are not a coincidence, then his future achievements are immeasurable.

Pearson continued: "Let's take a look at the two goals conceded.

Two goals conceded, there was no obvious mistake on the part of the defender, but the opponent's individual ability was too good.

Technical director Ewell said: "Boss, from the two goals conceded, it can be seen that we have to defend well enough, especially at the back, except for Cambiaso, no one in the team can have a large area of lateral coverage."

The midfielder is not only a problem for Lyicester City, but also one of the problems that plague the whole team.

A team can do without a midfielder, but not without a midfielder.

He is about the balance of a team's offense and defense.

Especially in the modern football system, the definition of the back is no longer very single-point defense, and it has to be responsible for the team's offensive scheduling.

In the match against Everton, after Cambiaso went off the field, the team's defense dropped significantly, and it was difficult to contain the opponent's wing attack only by relying on the well-placed defense of Drinkwater and Andy King.

"It's going to be completely resolved in the transfer window after the end of the season, so let's look at the present."

Pearson asked rhetorically, "Don't you notice something?"

All three assistant coaches shook their heads.

Craig has been an assistant coach of the team for a long time, and his attributes and knowledge of the team have been good for several head coaches in his partner.

Ewelll and Fleming were brought in by Pearson and were in charge of tactics and data analysis.

Fleming pondered for a moment, looked at the technical statistics table, and said: "In the last ten minutes, the forward insertion of the two wings was the key to causing us to concede the goal."

The data is clear, Everton's attacking routines in the later period are all launched from the wings.

"Before that, Everton didn't dare to play like this, maybe because there was not much time left, so they were alone?" Craig spoke his mind.

"No, they might, but not so quickly. Because we counter-attacked, it was a huge threat to them because Rowe was there. ”

Pearson took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled it slowly.

Fleming called up Rossi's stats, projected them on the screen, and analyzed: "In the second half, Rowe's statistics were mediocre, and the running distance was very small, because the midfielder failed to get the ball. Ulloa was much better than him, with two more interceptions in defence. ”

Pearson laughed: "Old man, the data can only reflect part of the game, the ability of the players, and it has to be seen in conjunction with the game."

He called up a few offensive pictures of the opponent and said: "You see, although Luo did not have any bright spots in the second half, his presence threatened the opponent's attack."

The trio watched Pearson mark Rossi's position and the position of the opposing full-back on the screen, and there was some confusion.

What does this mean?

Pearson brought up a few more pictures and said: "This is the position of the opposing full-back after Ulloa came on the field."

The three of them were taken aback.

Why did Ulloa, who contributed better defensively, the opposing full-backs dared to press.

And Rossi, who was walking off the field, could make the other party dare not press up.

What is the reason for this?

Kress clapped his hands and said: "I understand, they don't dare to press up, because they are afraid that our counterattack will hit them behind them." Two goals conceded in the first half, that's it. ”

Pearson smiled and smoked leisurely, while the other two still didn't understand.

If you're afraid of a counterattack, you're also afraid of Vardy and Mahrez, what's the matter with Rossi?

Craig explained: "It's related to the technical characteristics of the two."

'Both of them have the awareness to drop back to get the ball, and defensively, Ulloa is even better than Rowe.

Judging from Fleming's data, Ulloa is obviously higher than Rossi in terms of defense and running.

"It's not a question of individual ability, it's about who is better suited to the system. Although Rowe's defense is not good, his ability to link up the two wings after winning the ball is far beyond Ulloia's. ”

Ulloa has the fulcrum ability of a traditional centre-forward, but this ability will be very evident in the penalty area.

But when he gets the ball away from the penalty area, he will choose to pass back or control the ball at the first time, waiting for his teammates to respond.

But Rossi is different, he will observe the position of the player more, and will instantly judge the most suitable route when receiving the ball.

And his ability to shoot the ball with one foot is also beyond the reach of Ulloa.

The reason why Everton's two full-backs did not dare to step forward was that they were afraid that Rossi's ball after winning the ball would hit them and give space for Jamie Vardy and Mahrez to cut forward.

On the court, after a successful steal, Ulloa's first choice was to pass back to his teammates and attack.

In Lyicester City, which has no organizational core, such a pass is undoubtedly to slow down the attack and give the opponent time to defend.

The trio also understood for the first time the real purpose of Pearson's meeting immediately after the game.

It is necessary to develop a new set of tactics with Rossi as the core.

"Boss, I don't agree." Ewell was the first to come out against it.

"Now we are at a critical time for relegation, and it is too risky to adjust the original tactics at this time."

Fleming also chimed in: "And our next opponent is Manchester City."

Last season's Premier League champions weren't going to show mercy because you adjusted your tactics.

"Craig, what do you say?"

There are already two opposing ones, and Pearson is soliciting the team veteran.

Craig lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, and the office was silent, except for the sizzling of cigarette rolls.

Although he is only an assistant coach, he knows far more about Lyrcester than the Plzen trio.

"Boss, I don't object."

This sentence is to support the authority of Plzeň's head coach.

"But if we lose, how are we going to deal with it at the top?"

The team's results now are about staying in the Premier League next season, and every decision is not only about the team's results, but also about their work.

The club's hierarchy will never allow the team to be relegated and lose huge gains.

Pearson pressed the cigarette butt to the ashtray and took a deep breath.

"I'll bear all the consequences. We have no way back. ”

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
