In the four preseason games, from the results, the Green Bay Packers lost all the games; but from the process, except for the big score to the 49ers in San Francisco, the final scores of the other three games were all within a free kick.

Only the Green Bay Packers coaching team understands that it is not because the team does not have the ability to win, but because the more critical the moment Lu Yiqi is, the more he is bolder he is. He is always testing the on-site response tactics at critical moments and polishing the players through actual combat. This is a long-term plan, and it does not disrupt his overall plan for the victory or defeat of a preseason.

Now, the time for inspection has come.

Against the Minnesota Vikings, Lu Yiqi's pre-match preparation ideas are clear, the framework is clear, and the standards are accurate. The team can feel the calmness and confidence of the head coach's strategist. The invisible hint made the atmosphere inside the team become proactive.

Where does self-confidence come from?

It is definitely not because the Minnesota Vikings are not strong enough, but because Lu Yiqi has already had a curiosity for this chess game.

The Minnesota Vikings, who founded the team in 1961, were once a strong league team. Although this was one of the 13 teams in the league that had never won the Super Bowl, they also topped the division championship sixteen times and entered the Super Bowl three times - but these all happened in the distant 1970s.

The final glory of this team took place in the 1990s, from 1992 to 2000, only missed the playoffs in 1995, and all the other eight times entered the playoffs.

The Green Bay Packers, who were also at their peak at that time, were in their right form and the Minnesota Vikings. They fought in the division, and each confrontation was full of sparks and blood. They fought for the playoffs many times, which also caused the hatred between the old enemies to rise rapidly.

In the end, the spark of this mortal enemy surpassed the alliance's famous "century-old enemy" Chicago Bear, and became the number one mortal enemy of Green Bay Packers.

However, after entering the millennium, the Minnesota Vikings fell into a trough, and in the past seven years, they only entered the playoffs once in 2004, and their performance was far superior to competitors in the same district.

The current Vikings coach Brad Childress is an old coach who has been transferred to the position and coach in 1978 and has been in the industry for 30 years. However, it was not until 2006 that he became the head coach for the first time in his career and took over Minnesota in a difficult situation.

However, Childris has not had a good life in the past two seasons. He won and lost six times in 2006, and lost eight times in 2007. He has never been able to get out of the quagmire. It is rumored that the coaching position is not very stable.

Obviously, the Minnesota Vikings are not a strong team. Compared with the Green Bay Packers who entered the National League final last year, the situation is even more difficult; but due to many interference factors outside the court, the Minnesota Vikings became the more optimistic side to win.

If anyone underestimates the Minnesota Vikings, Lu Yiqi will tell you: That would be a fatal mistake.

According to historical trajectory, at the end of the 2008 season, the Minnesota Vikings won the division championship with 10 wins and 6 losses and successfully entered the playoffs. Although they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles led by Andy Reed in the first round of the playoffs, the team's performance is still worthy of recognition.

If Lu Yiqi remembers correctly, the Minnesota Vikings' defensive performance was excellent, ranking sixth in the league, first in the ground defense league, and eighteenth in the pass defense league.

The overall strength is clear at a glance. This is a team with strong ground defense and weak passing defense.

The Vikings' second-tier defense is indeed lacking. Except for cornerback Anthony Winfield, the starters and substitutes in the other three positions are very mediocre - even below the league average.

But the Vikings' front-line defense is extremely strong.

They adopt a "4-3" formation, and all four defensive forwards have super strength. Pat Williams, Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and others have the Pro Bowl and the first and second teams of the All-American team, which also makes their ground defense impeccable.

In addition, although the linebacker is weak and the frequency of using surprise tactics is low, the strength of the defensive front line is an important supplement. The unexpected surprise tactics can also create unexpected effects, especially the defensive front line is in a hot state, and the quarterback can be sacked without the support of the linebacker.

Most importantly, head coach Childries is a retro-style coach who can refer to Bill Schneider or Mo Latimer horizontally.

This is a head coach who is an offensive coach who pays more attention to ground running on both offense and defense, which is not consistent with the popular style of passing in contemporary times. However, both tactical arrangement and on-site scheduling lack sufficient adaptability, and it depends more on the players' inspiration.

The results of the previous two seasons proved this. In 2008 and 2009, they seized the good opportunity of the players' peak state for two consecutive seasons and angrily made a wave of presence, but in 2010, they soon revealed their true colors and fell to the bottom, and were subsequently fired.

After that, Childress's career declined. Not only did she never become a head coach, but she also fell to the point of becoming an assistant coach. She eventually transferred to the background and became a tactical analyst for the team, gradually moving away from the front line.

The core reason is that his on-site adaptability is really bad, and his tactical layout is also particularly conservative.

Such Minnesota Vikings, all the links on both sides of the offense and defense just fit on the tactical system Lu Yiqi created for Green Bay Packers:

The Packers' ground offense is relatively weak and requires more cooperation; while the pass offense is relatively tough. Considering the combat style of the wide receiver, the entire pass range is advancing towards the far-reaching area, making full use of the wide receiver's running ability to complete the advancement; at the same time, Rogers' long pass ability, pocket footsteps and the advantages of fighting in chaos can also be exerted.

In other words, Lu Yiqi's offensive tactics restrained the Minnesota Vikings in all aspects, and fitted perfectly like Lego toys.

After a brief slow warm-up in the opening stage, the Green Bay Packers quickly gained a foothold because they found that all the tactics the coach mentioned could be easily implemented. They only need to follow the tactics arranged before the game, and the opponent will bump into them without strategy like a headless fly.

The game seems...a bit relaxed.

The entire propulsion of the offensive team showed an unstoppable madness. What's even more terrifying is that the Green Bay Packers didn't seem to even need to consider the second gear. The first attack could easily get the first attack through the ever-changing tactical combination. Except for the second gear situation caused by the first sack at the beginning, after that, they only faced the second gear once, and all the other tiers successfully completed the conversion!
