"Come on, boys! Let the people of the Dragon Kingdom see your true strength!"
"Come on Dragon Kingdom!!! Rise up!!!"
The crowd was buzzing, and the Candy Box Stadium, which can accommodate 49,000 spectators, was packed!
Most of the seats were filled with Argentinian fans wearing blue and white stripes, but in a few small areas of the stadium, there was a very bright red.
"I didn't expect that Longguo would have so many football fans. Xiaomo, you have played football in Longguo before, right? How is their football atmosphere there?"
On the bench, his roommate who read the Bible every day but never got a chance to play asked curiously. Chen Mo looked back at the court, looked up at the fanatical Dragon Kingdom fans not far away, and said with a smile: "Why? Speaking of which, there are more people watching football than playing football, but it’s true that the fans are very enthusiastic.”
"Ah? There are so many people watching football, why are there so few people who know how to play football?"
The roommate was confused. Chen Mo took a sip of water and said with a smile: "How much has your family spent since you started playing football until now?"
"Paying money to play football? Do you think I'm crazy? I still expect to support my family through football."
The roommate's eyes widened, and Chen Mo held out three fingers: "Haha, I've been playing football in Long Country for more than two years. Not to mention tuition fees, the gifts alone cost my dad 30,000 euros."
"?"
The roommate had a question mark on his face, and Chen Mo wanted to say something else. At this time, Pekerman, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and frowned: "Concentrate! It's game time now!"
The roommate trembled and immediately stopped talking. Pekerman pointed at the players running on the field and asked Chen Mo: "Do you see clearly where our problem is?"
"I saw some signs."
Chen Mo put away his smile and turned his eyes to the field again: "Their formation change speed is very fast. When fighting for the ball in the midfield, the formation is 361, but once we get the ball and pass the half, their No. 6 defensive midfielder Hu Zhaojun will immediately sink to the back line, the formation will become 451, and the other two midfielders will be positioned at the midfielder position at the top of the arc. There are too many people in the penalty area and the top of the arc in the penalty area, and they are crowded. Savio If you pull them back, they won't be able to use their foot advantage at all, and we don't have a high center forward. In this situation, if you want to score in a positional battle, you have to try your luck with a long shot or look for a set piece."
"Then what would you do if it were you?"
Pekerman nodded happily. This scene was seen by many players on the bench, and they felt sad in their hearts.
"Either we speed up the pace of offense and defense transitions and use long shots to get the feeling. Even if the shots don't go in, as long as they hit the goal frame a few times, the opponent's defense will definitely not dare to retreat so far, so we have space to pass the ball behind. Of course, doing this will definitely give the opponent a chance to counterattack, but the two wings and center of this Dragon Country team are not speed players. Their forward speed is slow and their skills are not very skilled. Even if Our defense can fully cope with counterattacks.
What's more, when the opponent takes the ball and counterattacks, the formation cannot be kept so complete. As long as we can steal the ball when they counterattack, their formation must be loose at this time. We directly pass the ball to the frontcourt to find Sasha. Just Viola, he is several levels ahead of the other defender in terms of speed and skills,"
Speaking of this, Chen Mo frowned: "Actually, there were two times when the Dragon Country team's formation had problems during the transition of offense and defense. At that time, there was already space on their wing, but Brosi seemed to be a little too stable and did not give a through ball. ball."
"It's not that Brosi wants stability, but that his field of vision is too narrow and he can't see his teammates advancing from the wing. He doesn't have such a naturally good eye and an excellent overall view." Pekerman shook his head. He smiled and said: "Do you have any other ideas? This tactic is a bit too radical. This is a single elimination match. We must be more stable."
"That's it."
Chen Mo frowned and thought: "How about adding more offensive personnel in the frontcourt? I just observed their positions carefully. When defending, their two midfielders like to be at the top of the arc. As long as Saviola gets the ball, he will Being flanked, playing with a single front midfielder cannot help him share more pressure, but what if we change the double back midfielder to a double front midfielder?
The two front midfielders pressed up in a horn shape to attract the defense of the two Long Guo defensive midfielders. At the same time, they pulled wide and used the width of the field to take away the two defenders. In this way, only the two central defenders and the bottom half were left on the Long Guo back line. At this time, Shen's midfielder Hu Zhaojun asked Saviola to retreat to the position between the Dragon Kingdom's midfielder and the back line to get the ball. At that time, he and Bloor at the front could form a partial two-on-three. , although the pressure is still very high, at least it is not like now where there is absolutely no room for performance. "
"Hahaha, it's great to think of this level! Your eyes are very sharp, but you still lack some dynamic awareness."
Listening to Chen Mo's talk like a butcher's job, Pekerman could no longer hide the admiration in his eyes. He took the tactical board and called the original main attacking midfielder Romagnoli in front of him.
"You two will replace Meiro and Brosi later. Romagnoli, you partner with D'Alessandro to play as a double attacking midfielder. The main task is to take away the midfielder at the top of the arc. Xiao Mo, you are here The bottom of the inverted triangle serves as a single defensive midfielder. When they counterattack, they like to pass long passes directly. I don't need you to fight for the top. Coloccini will be responsible for this. Your main task is to get the second penalty ball, and They need to stick to their offensive player who has the ball and give others time to get back on defense.”
"Promise to complete the mission! Boss!"
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Chen Mo immediately stood up to warm up, but Pekerman stopped him.
"Not only on defense, when attacking, I need you to guide the ball and the entire team to the opponent's half, and do pass and cut cooperation in the opponent's half. In this case, the distance between you and the frontcourt will be shortened, and you can Make maximum use of your powerful forward and counter-running ability. Look here, if D'Alessandro and Romagnoli successfully attract the two defensive midfielders of Dragon Kingdom, and at this time Saviola retreats to get the ball , then the two defensive midfielders are likely to give up defending the long-range shot outside the penalty area and return to defend Saviola, forming a closed situation."
Pekerman took out a black oil pen and drew a black dot at the top of the arc in the upper half, and then drew two diagonal double-teaming arrows on the left and right sides below the black dot: "Did you see the position? This is the dynamic awareness I am talking about. Others will not stand there stupidly and watch you take the ball and organize an attack. When Saviola retreats to take the ball, the two midfielders and defenders of Long Guo can easily Seal the connection between Saviola and our two attacking midfielders. At this time, I need you, Xiao Mo, to join the attack and move forward to this position to receive the pass."
An upward arrow is drawn in the center of Pekerman's tactical board, just below the center of two diagonal double-teaming arrows. "You get the ball in this position, and then try to pass the ball back to the two midfielders standing in the corners without defensive midfielders. At this time, whether it is D'Alessandro or Romagnoli dribbling the ball forward, Long The country's tight defense may have gaps that cannot be taken into account at the beginning and end. This style of play requires you to frequently press forward and retreat, so I need you to run without sparing any effort in this game, do you understand?"
"Understood boss."
"Understood coach."
"Good, let's go warm up."
Pekerman patted the two on the shoulders, and the two immediately put on their vests and went to the sidelines to warm up. This scene was captured by the camera.
"Hey! The long-awaited Chen Mo is finally here! Director Zhang, what do you think of Argentina's substitution adjustment?"
"I think... is it a little too early? It's only been more than 20 minutes since the game. It feels a bit radical to use two substitutions. But the idea of replacing a defensive midfielder with an attacking midfielder is not the same. The problem is, Pekerman clearly sees that our Dragon Kingdom's forward and two wings are slow, they are preparing to strengthen their attack, we have to be careful!"
Director Zhang was talking nonchalantly, and at the same time, the camera also showed a close-up of Chen Mo's face, and a young and handsome face appeared on the TV screens of thousands of households in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Wow! Wife, come and see, your student is on TV!"
In the staff dormitory of Qianhu Middle School, Wang Gang, a Chinese teacher, was sitting in front of the TV in big pants and a mat, shaking a cattail leaf fan with one hand, watching the game and smoking a cigarette. His wife, Jiang Jing, a math teacher, stretched out her head from the kitchen, glanced at the TV, and smiled. : "Oh, he's really on TV! This kid is really promising. I didn't realize that he still had this ability at first."
"Hahaha, I remember that you beat me up a lot because of this kid's poor math scores."
Wang Gang teased, while Jiang Jing continued to wash the dishes: "This kid's test scores are only thirty points every time. How can he not teach a quadratic equation? Are you not angry? In other words, this competition is the one that has been making a lot of noise recently. World Cup?"
"This is the World Youth Championship."
"Oh, it's not the World Cup. I thought it was the World Cup. What a fuss. By the way, you can make a lot of money playing football. How much does he estimate he can earn in a year now?"
“I heard from the gossip that it’s more than 7,000 euros a year with food and accommodation included.”
"More than 7,000 euros, converted to more than 50,000??! His monthly income is close to 5,000??! He is only fourteen years old, how can he earn so much?!"
Jiang Jing, who worked hard and earned 700 yuan a month, opened her mouth wide with surprise written all over her face. Wang Gang took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Where is this? I heard that a lot of wealthy clubs in the Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A want to poach him. As long as he is normal, If he continues to grow, with the talent he has shown now, it won't be a big problem to earn over a million a year in the future."
"What?! A million?! Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Jing's eyes widened even more, and her hand washing the dishes stopped.
"Why are you lying to me? Besides, the money he earns is euros and dollars! But then again, you called his father Chen Fei to the office to reprimand you. In front of so many people, you said that a boy who doesn't study is better off raising a pig. Now it's okay Well, our whole family has been working so hard for a year and it’s not worth the hair on someone else’s pig’s tail. Haha, at first you all said he was stupid and didn’t know how to learn, but I think this kid has a stubborn personality and an unyielding spirit. In the future, He must be promising, and I really have a good eye for people, haha!"
Wang Gang had an open-minded personality and teased his wife a few words, drank tea and continued to fan and watch the game, but Jiang Jing looked at the rushing water in the pool and couldn't calm down for a long time.
