0007 Tactical Discussion
"Dididi~" The voice of a message sounded in the chat room of the computer, and a sentence appeared on the public screen of the chat room.
'Jordi, can Ajax's academy train with studs? – Erling Haaland
"I think it can't be." - Cruyff
Cruyff Jr. was a bit baffled, he was in the Ajax Academy when he was younger, but I never saw a young player with pierced ears and studs to play.
"Just now Li Winter told me that the Portuguese cyclist is really handsome in pre-race training and wearing studs, and he will get one when he goes back to Ajax." – Erling Haaland
"So, how does it feel to watch the game in a top box with the rich?" - Cruyff
Haaland and Schmeichel watched the game in the top box at the Porto Dragons Stadium, because George Lee's father, father-in-law, and brother also went to watch the opening ceremony with their three children.
"Where's George?" - Schmeichel
"I watched the game on TV just now, it was too hot, and I went swimming with Chris." - Cruyff
"I heard that you two went to the red light district when you went to the Netherlands?" - Schmeichel
"No, don't talk nonsense." - Cruyff
"Dudu Du~" At this time, a video invitation popped up on the computer, several people clicked to agree, and as the camera's flash turned on, the computer entered the video chat interface, and George Lee and Chris Casper also appeared in the video screen.
"Are you all here?" George Li was the first to ask.
"And Brian and Colin, it seems that Brian doesn't know much about computers, and Colin is helping him debug." Cruyff Jr. said.
"Oh Chris, can you put your clothes on first, I'm not used to naked chats with guys, damn it." Haaland asked Casper to find a dress to put on.
"What's the matter, you're afraid Erling will tell his mom that his dad is on video with an undressed uncle?" Casper said as he took a piece of clothing and put it on his shoulder, not putting it on.
"Hey, hey~"
At this time, two more people came into the chat room, one with video footage and one without. The sound came from the man who didn't have the video footage.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me, Colin, why do you all have pictures and I don't."
"Brian, I said, you don't have a camera, so you can only talk, no picture."
"Hey, hey, George, can you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, I hear you, Brian." George Lee said.
"Damn, it's the first time I've used this thing for a meeting, it's a novelty."
Coming came Brian Kidd, assistant coach of Leeds United's coaching staff, and Collin McGee, fitness coach.
When Brian Kidd was at Manchester United, he produced players including David Beckham and Paul Scholes, and was also the coach of Lee, Kasper and McGee.
In March 2000 he was hired as an assistant coach by former Leeds United coach O'Reilly and later became Leeds United manager in March 2001. But in 2003, Kidd was sacked after Peter Reed became the team's manager.
After George Lee took over Leeds United, he invited Kidd to return to Leeds as an assistant coach, after all, his current coaching staff is too young and needs an experienced coach to help them grow.
It can be said that assistant coach Brian Kidd and football director Eddie Gray are the two experienced first and second officers next to George Lee, the young captain, escorting Leeds United's young ship.
"The game is over, let's have a meeting to discuss, combined with today's game, as well as our previous transfers, our next transfers, let's talk about it together, after all, today is the first collective meeting after the establishment of our coaching staff." George Li was the first to speak after everyone gathered.
"......" no one responded to him.
"Everyone, feel free, after all, everyone here is young except Brian."
"Bastard, hey, hey~, can you hear me, George, can you hear me scolding you?" Kidd said in the headphones, a little loud.
"Yes, you can say it."
"Okay, I'll start with that." In the end, it was Brian Kidd who started first, "I know why you had this meeting after this game, I watched the game just now, and combined with the tactics you used at Leeds United at the end of last season, I don't know too much about what you call high pressing, but I want to know if our frontcourt players are fit enough to support the whole game if they press for a long time. ”
"Brian, the fitness aspect is something Collin needs to care about, and if the Leeds players don't meet my needs next season, I'm going to fire Colin for squid."
"Leave it to me, next season I'll have the starters run an average of 20 kilometres apart from Paul Robinson." Colin McGee followed the conversation between the two of them and made a joke.
"You can really blow, David only ran 16 kilometers at most." Casper debunks McGee.
The record for the highest distance run was set by David Beckham in the 2001 World Cup qualifiers, when England played Greece and set the record for the longest distance traveled in a single game in world football at 16.1km, which he still holds to this day. Beckham then finished the game in stoppage time with a free-kick after 16km of running.
"Greece's first goal in this game, everyone saw it, through the pressure in the front, forcing the opposite full-back to make a mistake, and after winning the ball, he attacked the goal directly. Neat. George Lee reminded everyone of the first goal of the game.
'That is, if we press up front and we get the ball, we can shorten the distance. At its best, we can shoot straight at goal, or we can form more and play less so that we can score more easily. Kidd continues to be professional.
"If we hadn't pressed up front to get the ball. We can first slow down the opponent's counterattack by pressing up, and then reduce the quality of the opponent's counterattack by pressing. As long as the counter-attacking attack slows down, our defenders have plenty of time to settle into position and form a better defense, right? George Lee continued to explain Kidd's words.
"Uh-huh."
"If we press and let the opposition blindly go forward and clear the ball blindly, then we can easily get the ball back. The ball is back in our hands and we can come back and attack again. ”
"Actually, I could see a little bit of the way through the game at the end of last season, and there were many times when Smith and Viduka forced each other to make mistakes by running and pressing.
"I don't think it's enough to rely on the strikers to grab it, this season I changed to 433, three fronts, two central midfielders, two full-backs will join the high pressing in the frontcourt."
"Ah~, this~, will it be counterattacked, teams like Arsenal and Manchester United may form a threat through high-quality counterattacks."
"It's definitely a step-by-step process, it's going to take it slowly, step by step." George Lee didn't want to be a fat man in one go.
'That's right, we were relegated last season and this season I don't think we need to aim too high, because we've already suffered a lot in that regard. Kidd is still an old man.
A few years ago, Leeds United had achieved some success in the Premier League and Europa League, but the liabilities of Leeds United's expansion were destroyed by the management's haste and overly optimistic expectations for future revenues.
So Kidd will let these young people lower their goals and take one step at a time.
Casper laughed out loud and said, "As long as he is not demoted, there is no way for George to be fired; As long as George is not fired, we will not be unemployed. Right? ”
"Well, if Brian is counting on George to leave the class, he will take over as head coach." McGee continues to joke about Kidd.
"You two stinky boys."
"Okay, let's take a look at Greece's second goal ......"
George Lee began to combine his tactical thinking with the game just now.
