"Hello everyone, I am your head coach Flick, and I am very happy to work with you. I hope that we can all show our best in the coming days." Flick said to the Newcastle players.
Newcastle is currently not fully staffed, and including those who have made up the number, there are only 23 people.
But Flick, who had communicated with Lu Yang in advance, knew that the main framework of this team was fine.
"Now, please let Lu tell us a few words."
After Flick finished speaking, applause broke out.
Everyone is welcoming Chairman Lu.
What?
You don’t know yet?
Tang Yuqin is Lu Yang's agent in the Eastern Region.
In addition, Lu Yang is willing to transfer to Newcastle from Real Madrid. If you say that Newcastle and Lu Yang have nothing to do with each other, who will believe it?
At the very least, no club has ever given such complete transfer power to a player.
Even Real Madrid, which was so desperate for Lu Yang last season, only equipped Lu Yang with an Alpha, with a transfer capital of almost 50 million.
If Lu Yang asks for more players, Real Madrid will not continue to satisfy him.
Newcastle is different. Lu Yang is almost entirely responsible for Newcastle's transfers.
Newcastle wants whoever he nods to.
Anyone who doesn't agree will not be accepted to join Newcastle for free.
Chairman Mu, oh no, Chairman Lu is just keeping a low profile.
When the gap between you and a person is so large that it is irreparable, you will not feel jealous of him, but will worship him.
In this team, there are either people like this, or people Lu Yang called over to help.
Therefore, Lu Yang undoubtedly wore the captain's armband.
"Thank you everyone." Lu Yang walked forward and turned to face everyone, "Newcastle has a glorious history, but it also fell into decline. Now with a new boss, it has been brought to the forefront."
"This is a crisis and an opportunity."
"This team will give everyone time to perform. As long as we are strong enough and united enough, there will be no problem for us to stay in the Premier League."
"Next, I can set an example."
"I promise not to be late or leave early, nor to miss any training session. After the daily training, I will perform appropriate additional training based on my physical and technical status."
"We have also invited a sufficiently professional team of experts from the Sports Medicine Department of Cambridge University to tailor additional training plans for all players who are willing to do additional training."
"We also have in-depth cooperation with the Modern Football Information Technology Research Center. They will conduct big data processing on each player's training and competition, and combine the team's tactics and the players' own conditions to recommend the most appropriate direction for the players."
"Maybe most people don't know what this means, but I can give you an example."
"In this year's World Cup final, the Italian team used Kolber and Chiesa to continuously attack the Brazilian defense. In the overtime period, I was the team's single arrow."
"This is the key to our win! Because Kolber and Chiesa are collecting enough information for me. Relying on this information, I am familiar with the defensive habits and performance of all the Brazilian team's defenders. Able to break down the Brazilian defense in just a few minutes."
Hiss!
When it comes to the World Cup, the players no longer feel sleepy.
The old players expressed doubts about what Lu Yang said.
The young players expressed their yearning for what Lu Yang said.
Everyone wants to know.
"It's true." Chiesa said, "The team asked me to focus on attacking the Brazilian team's defense from the right side, and asked me to not only use my speed to eat them alive, but also to actively try to get past Sasso and Luci. Marr et al.”
Sasso also spoke: "I also felt that something was not right at the time. Lu knew my defensive habits so well that he could even easily judge whether my focus would be on the left or right."
"The reason why we were defeated by Lu Yang several times in a row was definitely not because of our physical strength. It was because we were seen through by Lu Yang!"
After a brief introduction, everyone knows about this football big data company that has become famous recently.
Lu Yang continued: "During the following training period, this company will conduct a comprehensive record for all of us. Our starting and rotation lineups in official games will be combined with their instructions for you during this period. analysis report."
"Data sometimes knows us better than we know ourselves. If everyone wants to play serious professional football, I hope everyone can perform well."
"Many people don't understand our goals for this season, so I will tell you in advance so that everyone can have a clear idea."
"On August 25, before the start of the Premier League, we have a UEFA Cup play-off match to play."
"Perhaps many people don't know about this competition. This is the third-level European competition proposed by UEFA last year and officially implemented this year! It is also the only European competition that Newcastle has the opportunity to participate in this year."
"In this tournament, we can face the champions of many secondary leagues in Europe and the powerful teams from the five major leagues."
"And I hope that Newcastle can become the first champion of this event!"
At this point, many people in the team were surprised.
UEFA Cup?
champion?
Is Lu serious?
Newcastle's goal is not to avoid relegation in the Premier League?
this……
Will it be a great achievement?
Besides, the UEFA Cup...is it a trophy?
Is there any gold content?
This is normal. These players still don't know how the UEFA Cup will work.
After all, the Europa League was not taken seriously in the years before it appeared.
What's more, this UEFA Cup is one level lower than the Europa League?
But what will happen in the UEFA Cup, Lu Yang has already analyzed it before.
The Champions League is the Champions League.
The Europa League is the league for the losers of the Champions League.
The UEFA Cup, because it is too far away from the Champions League, does not have the label of loser. It has become a civilian Champions League where the champion teams of lower-level competitions compete.
Once the Europa League championship reward becomes rich, its value will be much greater than that of the Europa League.
Although it is not appropriate, if you really want to find a corresponding one.
The UEFA Europa League is a bit like the NCAA, the Champions League is the NBA, and the Europa League... is the NBA Development League.
The former has a broad mass base. Although the overall level is not high, each team is a decisive presence in the local league, and their popularity explodes.
The middle one has the strongest level in the world and is naturally eye-catching.
And the latter...the father doesn't love him, the mother doesn't love him, he doesn't reach the sky, he doesn't touch the ground, he wants the masses but not the masses, he wants to be high-end, but he's not high-end enough.
At present, UEFA has not yet fully decided what the reward for the UEFA Cup champion will be.
Some people think that it is enough to give the UEFA Cup champion a UEFA Europa League main draw spot.
However, some people believe that although the UEFA Cup is positioned below the Europa League, the value and potential of the UEFA Cup is likely to exceed that of the Europa League in the future, so the quota should be linked to the Champions League.
Even if they are not given a place in the Champions League main draw, they should still be given a place in the Champions League play-offs.
The two sides are currently having intense discussions.
Maltivni is more supportive of giving Champions League play-off spots.
He even thinks that if the UEFA Cup goes well, it would be okay to give them a spot in the Champions League.
In the world of European football, the Champions League is the final appeal and the only appeal.
Any game involving the Champions League will make both sides try their best and will also attract the attention of fans.
In theory, games that have nothing to do with the Champions League have no core appeal.
Whether a Champions League spot is given or not will have a huge impact on the UEFA Cup.
Whether or not the NCAA can be established as a part of European football depends on UEFA's reluctance.
In the long run, UEFA must provide quotas related to the UEFA Champions League and the Champions League.
Because this is the best way to activate and win over other small and medium-sized clubs from various places.
As for the quota issue, if one and a half cannot be squeezed out of the original quota, the Champions League expansion can be considered.
This is another good thing for UEFA.
By then, the UEFA Cup will be held and the Champions League will be expanded. UEFA will be very happy.
This can also benefit the current football system where the rich are king to a certain extent.
If this continues, and the wealthy clubs are self-respecting and occupy the majority of the viewership share, the formation of the wealthy super league, which has a devastating impact on major leagues, may be revived.
If UEFA misses the opportunity of the UEFA Cup, it will miss the best opportunity to control the major giants.
Facts have proved that the Europa League and the Champions League are too close and have become a league of losers, unable to benefit from the Champions League, while the lower-level European Association can accomplish this purpose.
As for the expansion of the Champions League, it seems that it can win over small and medium-sized clubs, but it will trigger strong resistance from the wealthy clubs, and will instead encourage them to establish a wealthy super league as soon as possible.
Therefore, it is a very stupid decision to simply expand the Champions League without using the expansion quota to support other competitions.
Lu Yang even believes that not only the winner of the Europa League can qualify for next year's Champions League, but the top four can also consider qualifying for the Champions League play-offs.
Only by drawing as much blood from the Champions League as possible and thoroughly running the three levels of European leagues can we be able to compete with the major giants.
Of course, this is a strategic policy issue for the entire football industry.
It's not something the Newcastle players in front of them need to consider.
Although they and Lu Yang are both players.
But Lu Yang is a player who continues to change world football through his own efforts. In addition to his competitiveness, Lu Yang's contribution to football should have been entered into the European Football Hall of Fame long ago.
His future historical status will also be unique in world football.
Even the two previous champions in football history cannot compare with Lu Yang's development and contribution to football.
…
Newcastle's training went relatively smoothly.
Most of the players are in good condition.
After all, many stars competing in the World Cup didn't even get much rest.
During this period, Lu Yang and Flick determined Newcastle's basic lineup framework.
4231, or 451.
Manjujovic
Bridge, Sauber, Chiesa
Lu Yang, Tavares
? , Sasso, Deas,?
Amelucci
Of course, this lineup can also be regarded as 442, because Sauber's position looks like a midfielder, but it is actually a shadow forward.
And when the game actually starts, this formation will change.
This is a very advanced dynamic lineup.
Flick's thinking in this regard is very advanced and coincides with Gudiola's.
It can be seen that he borrowed a lot of things from Barcelona, but also added the characteristics of German football.
Coupled with Lu Yang's transformation, if the superiority of this tactic is put into the Premier League, it will definitely be no problem to rank in the top three!
Lola led the research institute and gave the most reasonable suggestions based on the players' training results and past games.
Michael Sauber's pulling ability is not strong enough and is limited to the central area, which is a pity.
But after Lu Yang gave him [False Movement], this point improved significantly.
His running range expanded, creating a lot of opportunities for Manjujovic to hold the ball.
Moreover, Sauber developed a fear of confrontation due to frequent injuries when he was young.
But this shortcoming just allows him to take his "false movement" to the extreme.
Because the most important thing about false moves is vulgarity.
But success is also a false move, and failure is a false move. Sauber's biggest shortcoming in this system is... not hard enough.
Once someone on the other side is tracking him closely, he will be 90% defeated.
So the combination of these qualities means that Sauber is destined to become a tailwind player in future games.
He tends to do poorly when the wind is against him.
But it doesn't matter.
Looking at Lu Yang in adversity and desperate situations, Lu Yang can make up for the biggest weakness of this tactical system.
Bridge, the left winger, is almost second only to Lu Yang in dribbling, and he is good at moving around in a small area, which is a bit like Newcastle's Matteo.
Lu Yang called [Butterfly Through Flowers] to Bridge.
Bridge, the left midfielder, assumes the responsibility of offensive organization in the frontcourt.
The ability to circle around to protect, break through, and distribute the ball is definitely a god-level blessing for him.
Lu Yang also asked Flick to add a lot of circle training to Bridge in the subsequent training, and asked him to make more circles, dribble and protect the ball during training matches.
Bridge was not very adaptable at first, but gradually found the feeling.
Since then, I have been obsessed with the magic of love.
Bridge's circle on the left is the starting point of the team's offense, so Newcastle's strongest offensive side is the left side.
The right side becomes the blasting side.
When the left side cannot open up the situation, the right side is responsible for attacking the opponent's defense line.
When the left side is able to open up the situation, the right side is also responsible for participating in the finishing or pulling.
So Chiesa on the right got the skill [Prolific Winger].
This skill that can enhance his breakthrough and shooting is simple but very practical.
Just cut inside and hit the goal with one move. If you practice it well, you will be Manchester United's Aoki, the best player in the world, and one of the top five shooters in the world!
Tavares got [ball support].
Lu Yang has multiple identities in this tactical system: organizational core, defensive core, second offensive core, strong offensive core, pulling, supporting, sweeping... Each of these requires Lu Yang to leave his position.
This requires Tavares to delay and protect.
Lu Yang is actually...a free man on the court.
He can appear in any position on the court, and his mobility and subjectivity are terrifying.
No head coach would allow a player with such great authority to appear on his team, unless... this set of tactics was formulated by the player himself.
This is a treatment that no superstar can have, and it is as incredible as Lu Yang's complete control of Newcastle's transfer rights.
In terms of the level of tactical treatment, Lu Yang was unprecedented and unparalleled.
Deas got [Golden Helper].
He and Sasso are both very smart central defenders. With this skill, Sasso feels that he can perform at 98 or 99!
But what makes Lu Yang sigh is that if Sasso has a system, he must also have the skill of [Golden Helper Defender], or even more advanced.
Because when Deas played with Sasso, his performance on the court exceeded his personal level, and he was definitely at a level of 90 and above!
Even Deas has made visible progress under the guidance of Sasso.
This team's central defender combination may be able to surprise the Premier League's forward superstars.
After all the calculations, only two full-backs are currently unaccounted for.
Newcastle's original full-backs simply cannot meet the requirements of Lu Yang and Flick, and the substitutes are too weak.
On the contrary, it was the team's left and right substitute wingers who made Lu Yang's eyes shine.
On this day, Lu Yang asked Flick to give a tactics class.
After the class, Lu Yang found Boyle and the team’s youth training Kyle Reese and asked them what they learned from this class.
"Don't you think this tactic is weird?" Lu Yang asked.
After all, Reese is from the youth training of a Premier League team and has more solid basic knowledge. He said: "I always feel that under coach Flick's arrangement, our right winger is more like...a combination of center forward and attacking midfielder."
"Instead, he is a right back, more like a right winger in the traditional sense."
"You see, the advancement work is done by the right back. Once you enter the attacking third, the right winger and the right back are on the same side, and there is no difference in their identities."
"One pull, one to go down. One to retreat, one to pass."
This made Reese a little uninterested.
Because he is the team's right wing substitute.
He started from the youth training and has been playing as a right winger, but he has never been recognized.
Because his body is too strong, he can't do the cool and unrestrained way that everyone thinks he can pass several people in a row.
In the current era where more and more wingers are cutting inside to hit the goal, if you can't pass people, it means that you are not suitable to play as a winger, because you will never be a threat enough.
Although Newcastle's formation indicates that the position of the player on the right side is the right midfielder, in fact, Newcastle's left side is the left midfielder, but the right side is the right winger.
The right winger is positioned closer to the penalty area, while the left winger is closer to midfield.
These subtle differences will affect a player's performance on the court. Because the location is different, the responsibilities are different.
Bridge needs to organize the offense, and Chiesa needs to hit the penalty area. This is the difference between Newcastle's left and right wings.
Reese is fast, strong, and can pass and shoot well, but at the right wing position, his impact is far less than that of some smaller players because he does not have the fancy, coquettish, and high success rate dribbling skills.
Impact power does not mean that you are powerful when you rush forward.
Impact in football is a vague adjective. Technology, speed, strength, and tactics can all create impact.
"Do you think you can do better than Chiesa? At the right wing position?" Lu Yang asked.
Kyle Reese looked a little embarrassed.
Young people, you should not admit defeat.
But after training together for so long, everyone knows each other's abilities.
Chiesa's ability to become famous with one goal in the World Cup is definitely not entirely due to luck.
His absolute speed ranks third on the team, second only to Lu Yang and Boyle, and faster than Bridge and Reese, but not much faster.
But the problem is that Chiesa's dribbling level is also third in the team, second only to Lu Yang and Bridge.
And his level of inside cutting is second on the team, second only to Lu Yang.
The shooting level is third in the team, second only to Lu Yang and Manjujovic, higher than Bridge, and higher than Rees.
Even when hitting the goal from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, Chiesa is second only to Lu Yang, and even better than Manju Jovic, a regular center!
Chiesa is definitely a good piece of material to play as a right winger.
Rhys was ashamed.
Because he is professional, he can better understand the strength of his opponent.
"But if you are a right back in Flick's tactical system, I think you have a much better advantage than Chiesa!" Lu Yang said, "You also said that although you are a right back, it is in terms of defense. In terms of.”
"From an offensive point of view, this right back is more right winger than right winger and is completely the offensive engine of the team on the right. He not only maintains the team's horizontal width and pulls the opponent's defensive strength laterally, but also provides a fulcrum on the side. His role is to be the main contact point and promoter of the weak side and even the assister and goal scorer!"
"Chiesa's body is not strong enough. When switching between strong and weak sides, his control of the ball is not as stable as yours."
"If you come to play as a right back, our first goal when transferring the ball is to find you. Although it seems to be a weak side, your touches, touches and dribbling in a game may be second only to Bridge. , more than anyone else!”
Lu Yang said it very straightforwardly.
You like playing as a right winger, right?
Should the right back play or not?
If you play, you are the main force.
And he's still a core force.
If he doesn't play...just give Chiesa a substitute.
"But I have no defensive experience." Reese was not very confident, but he was indeed moved.
An ordinary right back, he doesn't want to play.
But can the right back in this tactical system also be called a right back? This is simply a three-in-one position of right back, right midfielder, and right winger!
It will definitely be great if you play well!
This is equivalent to leaving Newcastle's right wing to him alone.
The midfielder and Chiesa both serve Reese.
His tactical status is very high.
"We have analyzed your playing habits, and you are good at using your physical advantage to fight. And you have been playing against defenders all year round, so you don't know anything about defense." Lu Yang said, "You can practice it. Very quickly."
Kyle Reese nodded excitedly: "I do!"
The next moment, Lu Yang hit [Steel Heavy Cannon] on Reese.
This can enhance his confrontation and long-range shooting ability.
Rhys could use it.
Then, Lu Yang looked at another substitute winger, Boyle.
He is the substitute for Bridge on the left wing.
"If you were asked to serve as Bridge's substitute, do you think you could accomplish the things he accomplished?" Lu Yang said, "Not in your way, but in Bridge's way."
"The way he plays is what the team needs."
Boyle shook his head honestly.
He has almost the fastest speed on the team.
In the speed test between Lu Yang and Boyle, they were almost the same.
But Boyle believes that Lu Yang may not have tried his best.
He couldn't judge, he only knew that Lu Yang was easier than him after the run.
However, other than this advantage, there is nothing more outstanding about Boyle.
His passing is about the same as Reese's, just barely adequate.
His shooting is far inferior to Reese, let alone compared with Bridge and Chiesa.
The delicacy of his dribbling is similar to that of Reese, but inferior to Bridge and Chiesa.
"You are the same as Reese. You are not destined to play as a winger. In fact, you are even less suitable to play as a winger than Reese." Lu Yang told a cruel fact.
Boyle was resigned to his fate.
Lu Yang added: "Because your speed is too fast. The activity area belonging to the winger severely restricts your performance."
"Only the entire left wing can allow you to play to your heart's content."
"Come, come and watch. When Bridge holds the ball, he rarely breaks through from the side, but looks for opportunities in the ribs."
"At this time, if you come up from behind, the entire left wing is yours. You can easily go down! Of course, after you are separated from the football, you need to return to your defensive position."
"This is an impossible task for others because the time is short. But it happens to be what you are good at, and your speed is the best magic weapon."
"If you can, I hope you will participate in every attack and come up. You will get a lot of opportunities. As long as your physical strength can persist, you will become the player on this team who carries the ball into the offensive third zone the most!"
"The left is our main attacking side, Bridge is the distributor on the left, and you...are the real main attacker on the left."
The two young wingers heard this with excitement!
In Brother Lu's plan, Newcastle can fly on both sides.
Most of the offense depends on their two full-backs.
This is clearly the position of a full-back. He has done the work of a wing-back and gained the tactical position of a winger.
Apart from the unpleasant name, all the benefits went to them.
The two little guys nodded repeatedly, fearing that Lu Yang would regret it.
So, Lu Yang played the [shingled full-back] to Boyle again.
The number of teammate skills he got was neither too much nor too little, just right!
Newcastle's main lineup is also completely formed.
A new storm is brewing at Newcastle United, and I don’t know when it will start to wreak havoc on the Premier League.
Some people think that if Newcastle are willing to invest money, they might be able to win the Premier League title and the Champions League within eight years!
Within five years, we can win some minor championships such as the FA Cup and Community Shield and enter the Champions League.
They might be able to reach the middle of the Premier League in three years...if they successfully avoid relegation this year.
