As solid as a rock. +,

This is Tang Hua's current working status at Cambridge United.

In the first season of coaching, he led the team to upgrade. With Lin Sen's involvement, it can be said that he has to achieve results and have to do so. In this case, almost no one would think that Tang Hua would be subject to any restrictions on the court. In other words, Tang Hua can show his strength with confidence. However, in the first game of the new season, Tang Hua finally chose to deal with it safely.

Cambridge United's starting lineup in this game and Cambridge United's main lineup last season had only two changes, both on the back line. Among them, only Stam, the young man who was highly anticipated by fans, won the start. He and captain Ian Miller formed Cambridge United's central defender partner. Judging from his performance in the first half, this pair of old and young teams withstood the test.

During the intermission, Lin Sen did not leave the stands, but chose to stay in the stands.

He is no longer the head coach, and he has not even entered the management of Cambridge United on the surface. Therefore, although he has made plans for Cambridge United, he cannot interfere with anything about Tang Hua. Not only can he interfere, but he cannot even show his intention of interference. Of course, this does not prevent him from making a judgment on the situation of Cambridge United on the court.

In fact, Cambridge United, which was extremely passive in the first half, had a very obvious problem. In a simple sentence, it was that the midfield was out of control.

The double midfielder formed by Morrisse and Tom was an important part of Cambridge's defensive system last season, and his performance was also satisfactory. However, in this game, the midfield defense formed by this pair of partners was useless, and the opponent was almost unobstructed in the midfield. It was precisely because of this that the offense and defense in the first half were disconnected, and the offense could not be attacked, and the defense was frequently in a hurry.

There are many ways to deal with this situation in the coach's textbook. Of course, not every one is necessarily practical, and now, Tang Hua must find the most practical one.

After the second half began, Tang Hua made a change, Colin took the ball and replaced Roy, who was mediocre in the offensive end in the first half.

This is a counter-substitution.

Facing such a substitution, Old Dave in the stands finally couldn't control his doubts, turned his head and asked Lin Sen next to him: "What do you think?"

Old Dave is not a football professional. Although he is the chairman of Cambridge United. However, after watching too many games, anyone naturally has his own opinions on the game. He actually saw the problem of Cambridge United in the first half, so there was this problem, because in his opinion, the problem lies in the midfield, and it is right to adjust the midfield, but shouldn't it be better to replace the poor performance? For example, Tom.

However, Linson did not answer Old Dave's question, he just shook his head.

Of course, shaking your head does not mean that you are not optimistic, but that you do not make a judgment.

Every head coach may make different choices when facing a certain game situation. Because each coach has different styles, his judgment on the game is naturally different, but one thing is the same, that is, everyone is looking to solve the problem. Lin Sen refused to comment because he did not know whether Tang Hua's substitution could cure the disease.

However, if there was only one person on the court at this time understands Tang Hua's intention to substitute him, then this person must be Lin Sen.

If you want to understand a coach's intention to substitute, you will first know the characteristics of the players who are replaced and substituted. Colin has a pass and balanced offense and defense. Roy is a midfielder, and he mainly plays in the front midfield position and has a shot. In this way, it is not difficult to see Tang Hua's intention when he replaces the latter. In the final analysis, it is better to strengthen defense.

There are only two explanations for not replacing Tom with poor performance. Either Tang Hua believes that the reason for Tom's poor performance is not because of himself, or Tang Hua believes that Roy's performance is worse than Tom.

Any team has a balance point in offense and defense in the game. If the merits are too good, it is easy to form the offensive battle that neutral fans like the most. If the merits are too good, the game will become the dull situation that neutral fans hate the most. Of course, in most games, the two teams will not be imbalanced at the same time. From now on, Tang Hua obviously believes that the problem of his team is not in defense, but in offense.

However, whether Tang Hua's judgment is correct still needs to be tested by competition.

After the second half began, obviously inspired by the first half, Coventry continued to launch a fierce attack, trying to continue to put pressure on the Cambridge United's defense with continuous offense, hoping for loopholes in the opponent's defense. However, the facts told them that they missed the best opportunity to score.

Cambridge United, who seemed to have made a counter-substitution, seemed to have come alive. The most obvious change was that Tom, who had performed poorly in the first half and seemed to be running around, suddenly became the finisher of the opponent's attack. In just ten minutes of the game, he had made three key interceptions.

The changes in the game made the old Dave in the stands smile, as if he had forgotten that he had just questioned Tang Hua's substitution. Although Lin Sen was still calm on the surface, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

There is no doubt that Tang Hua made the correct judgment.

Others may be surprised why Tom's performance was so different in the first and second half. They may attribute the reason to what Tang Hua said during the halftime break, but in fact, the reason was not on the sidelines, but on the court, and this reason was Colin.

Defense is a passive job. Unless you really overwhelm your opponent in ability and make sure that the opponent can't pass your level, any defense actually requires the help of luck. Of course, you can't put all your hopes on luck, so you need help, and Tom, the problem in the first half is the lack of helpers.

No defensive player has the ability to defend easily without helpers when facing two or even three offensive players on the opponent without help. Tom is no exception. In the first half, Morrisse and him formed a midfield barrier, and Tom is actually a little unlucky. The opponent's offense is obviously on his side, not on Morrisse's side. In the second half, but after Colin came on the court, he took into account the defensive tasks and did what Roy did not do in the first half, that is, assisting defense.

Lin Senshu breathed a sigh of relief, not entirely because Tang Hua resolved the team's on-court crisis, but also because he was grateful that he had not answered Old Dave's question just now.

Lin Sen may be better than Tang Hua in terms of knowledge and experience, but one thing is that he is not as good as Tang Hua, that is, his understanding of the current team. In a sense, even in Manchester City in the past, Lin Sen's understanding of his team was not even as good as Tang Hua.

Because, if Lin Sen's way of leading the team is compared to painting, then Tang Hua's style is just a puzzle. Perhaps the results are all complete, but Lin Sen's way is a little casual, while Tang Hua is more rigorous.

On the side of the court, bench.

In this game, Xiao Zhixing, who sat on the bench with Francis, Colin and others, did not pay entirely to the game situation.

He was not a little unhappy about his failure to start. Although his performance in previous warm-up matches was quite impressive, he knew very well that the warm-up match was a warm-up match and the main match was a main match, which was two different things. Since the beginning of the game, he has been observing the performance of the two people, or to be precise, it should be two positions.

One is Tang Hua on the sidelines.

Xiao Zhixing's attention to Tang Hua is not just because of this game. In the UK, there are not many Chinese people who can make the British remember their names, and Lin Sen is one of them. Xiao Zhixing only respects Lin Sen. Otherwise, as a top student in Cambridge, he would not have come here with just a few words. But Xiao Zhixing still has doubts about Tang Hua.

Lin Sen's assistant helped Cambridge United upgrade last season. These are the two labels that Xiao Zhixing has put on Tang Hua at present.

Of course, Xiao Zhixing still respects Tang Hua on the surface, but that is limited to the players' respect for the coach. As for the others, in his opinion, it takes time, or to be precise, Tang Hua needs to use this time.

Another position that Xiao Zhixing paid attention to was on the court, the position that he might replace if he played.

Xiao Zhixing does not lack a view of the overall situation, but in his opinion, he does not need to stand high and judge the trend of the entire game, because it is the job of the head coach, and he only needs to do what he should do and what he can do.

Now he is a substitute, so what he needs to care about is that if he goes on the court, he should do something, and he can do more than the teammate on the court now.

In the first half, Xiao Zhixing looked at Roy. Although he didn't see that he could do anything more than Roy, he was sure that he could accomplish a lot of work that Roy hadn't been able to complete. In the second half, when Colin came on the court, Xiao Zhixing frowned because he found that although he could do a lot of things that Colin could not do, it seemed that he could not do even some of the things that Colin could do.

And it seems that these things he can't do are exactly why Tang Hua chose to let Colin play instead of him play.

Just as Xiao Zhixing was thinking, he felt that there seemed to be a gaze next to him, so he turned his head.

The eyes just met Francis's.

Although Xiao Zhixing's major in Cambridge is not a psychology, he can easily tell whether a person likes or hates him. Although Xiao Zhixing does not think that he should be loved by everyone and blooms, why Francis in front of him was hostile to him from the beginning made him a little confused.
