0205 Three goalkeepers
While Schmeichel and Haaland were discussing, Leeds United goalkeeper coach Nigel Martin approached them and joined them in the chat.
"Nigel, why did Casper play back today?" Haaland asked.
"From the second half of last season, Casper's daily training was basically with the rest of the first team, and my goalkeeper training was done individually for him. Martin told the truth.
The other two were lost in thought again, pondering George Lee's tactical ideas.
"Van der Sar is old, and it may not be practical for him to change his style of play now, and George's requirements for him are still to be an attacking goalkeeper with a slightly larger range of activities, and to properly cooperate with the team's scheduling and sorting out at the back." Martin first pointed to Van der Sar, who was on the pitch, before telling them what happened to Schmeichel.
On the pitch again, the Wallerwiecles team was ready to counter-attack, but the quality of their counter-attack was so poor that as soon as they passed the ball to Leeds United's half, Schmeichel Jr. was headed over Woodgate by Schmeichel Jr., who had been knocked out of the box.
"Woohoo~"
An unconventional goalkeeper kick caused the players and coaches watching the ball below to exclaim.
The players of Stavanger and Limby also finished showering and changing clothes, and came to the sidelines to watch the game in progress, and were also surprised to see Schmeichel Jr. and the passing push and the wide range of attacks.
βNICEοΌβ Martin was also pleased with the sortie.
Seemingly pleased with the effect, Martin happily continued to explain to the two.
"In the second half of the season, in February, when we were empty, George started to have a big brain again."
"He always did." The other two who have worked together for a while know George Lee.
In order to be able to increase the pressing effect up front, he decided to bring up a centre-back when necessary to join the attack in midfield. But it was also necessary to ensure the number of points at the back, so I came up with this solution. β
Schmeichel and Haaland nodded understandingly.
"When you were still there, the goalkeeper was also responsible for playing the ball at the back, but he was still relatively far back and we couldn't compress the opponent's formation. Now, if the opponent doesn't go to the tackle, I can even push Kasper all the way down midfield and put the whole back line in the opposition half. β
Martin kept explaining to the two that it was a bit of a show-off, giving the two former Leeds United coaches far away from home the latest tactical play, so that they could keep up with the trend of the times.
But George Li's tactics are indeed a bit ahead of their time, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept, let alone understand.
For example, the current Wollerwieckels players.
Once again, the ball found its way to Leeds United's backfield and Mathieson played the ball back to Schmeichel Jr.
Instead of putting pressure on Schmeichel, the Wallerwiecls team retreated to their own half.
At this time, the players behind Leeds United began to press forward on their own, and they didn't care about Schmeichel behind him.
The Danish goalkeeper slowly pushed the ball forward until it came to the centre circle before encountering the opposition striker's defence.
Finding the right position and passing the ball to the unmarked Woodgate, Schmeichel did not choose to return to his own box, but continued to wander around the centre circle.
When he saw that his team-mate still didn't have a good passing route, Woodgate passed the ball back to him.
He was playing the ball to Baines on the left and continued to wait in the centre circle.
It wasn't until Baines broke through with the ball that he slowly started to retreat, leaving Woodgate at the back of his defence.
Martin saw the performance of Leeds United's No.24 and began to give the two a slap again.
"The reason why George is willing to sell Scott Carson to Aston Villa is because Casper's foot skills are better than Carson's. Fortunately, it would have been Caspar if it was gone. β
"Hmph." Schmeichel was unimpressed.
"Anyway, there's a chance, Casper is still young. But Van der Sar is so consistent at the moment that I feel like he can play for another 10 years. β
"Haha~, maybe Casper will retire first." Haaland quipped.
'I'll tell you that 11 guys will be changed in the second half today, but Van der Sar will not play.
"Who's that?"
"I just got transferred from the youth team last year, and the little guy is also very distinctive."
"What are the characteristics?"
"I'm good at saving penalties. He is our team's three-time champion in a row. β
As he spoke, the first half of the game was over, and the players here at Leeds United came off the pitch one after another, giving up the pitch to the 11 players who were going to play in the second half to warm up, and they themselves began to drink water and undress.
Leeds had a couple of front-court players who were ready to come on in the second half practising their shots, while the attention of all three on the sidelines was on Grant Wall.
I have to say that this kid is really good at saving a single goal, and several shots have been judged in the right direction by him and saved.
"It's really good, the reflexes are fast, and the movements are standard."
As a world-class goalkeeper in the 90s, Schmeichel did have a lot to say. I am also pleased that Leeds United's goalkeeper reserves are sufficient, Van der Sar will retire after another season or two, and Schmeichel Jr. will take over directly, and also have another goalkeeper with great characteristics, Leeds United will not have to worry about goalkeepers in the next 10 years.
"Heck, Jordi's team is still almost funny, they were thinking about not letting Van der Sar play, and the two young goalkeepers may have deficiencies at the back, so we can find problems and rectify them. But...... Hehe......"
"You can go."
"That's right."
Erling Haaland and Kasper Schmeichel are ready to get rid of Martin.
They found out that this guy Martin came here to be scared and pretended.
It's just that Martin is also thick-skinned, and after being kicked in the ass by two people, he still stays here and refuses to leave, and Haaland and them have nothing to do.
Then, the attention of the two of them was drawn to the other.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, why is this kid Charlotte wearing No. 2, is there any insider in it?" Haaland quipped.
"No, it won't." A voice came from the side.
It was Gary Kelly, the owner of the original Leeds United No.2 shirt.
"Gary, why are you here too?" Schmeichel asked.
"I saw that you guys were chatting quite lively, so come and have a look. After all, I was helping Brian lead the team that day, and I didn't go to dinner with you. β
"You are so relieved to hand over the No. 2 to Charlotte, and honestly explain whether George threatened you to retire?" Haaland asked.
Kelly and Martin looked at each other and smiled.
Martin finally told the two: "Jordi didn't have a good time in the second half, Leeds United now not only have a new No.2, but also a new No.3. β
After listening to this, Haaland and the duo looked at Leeds United's number three, a young man who looked like a monkey and was finishing a shot with his left foot.
The ball arced and hung into the corner of the goal, and Wall couldn't do anything about it.
"Good footwork." Schmeichel commented.
^^^
Halfway through the second half, Cruyff Jr. had put his hand on his forehead for an unknown number of times.
Leeds United's No.3 Gareth Bale and No.2 Charlotte Black gave him an explanation of what a wide corridor looks like.
The two wings were the stage for the two youngsters to perform, overtaking, crosses from the wings, and long-range shots from outside the box...... The two of them fought like a rivalry, and the Wallerwiecls team was disgraced.
"Two days later, I hope I don't lose too ugly...... Looking at the players of his team, Haaland couldn't help but be a little afraid of the game against Leeds United in two days' time.
The gap is too big.
