42 Unexpected harvest (Part 1)

In Yang Cheng's set of tactics, there is a central axis, that is, the forward, front midfielder, retreating organizational midfielder, center back and goalkeeper. These five players just form this central axis.

However, there is a sub-line on both sides, left central defender, left central defender, left winger; right central defender, right central defender and right winger; the intersection points of these two sub-lines fall on the goalkeeper, and since the winger and forward stand at the same position, from the tactical map, this is an inverted triangle covering the entire court.

Although Tim, Hank, Paul, and Bayer have all understood Yang Cheng's tactics and studied them with him, they still felt shocked at this moment, because even now, they still cannot fully understand the tactical intentions and ideas that Yang Cheng instilled in them.

"In a tactical system, the middle lane is always hoarding heavy troops, but everyone knows that attacking is about opening up space, so where is the space?" Yang Cheng became more confident the more he said, especially when he saw that the players in the conference room were all listening to the class like students, the more excited he became.

"Just on the side!" Yang Cheng drew the two sub-lines on the left and right.

"When defending, the left and right central defenders must return to their position as soon as possible and maintain the team's defensive formation. However, when the offensive defense line is pressed, the two central defenders can take appropriate steps forward, just like a full-back actively participating in the offense." Yang Cheng drew two big arcs and detoured from the left and right central defenders to the center and frontcourt.

"The two centre-time forwards should also actively support the wingers in front while maintaining the suppression of the frontcourt against their opponents."

"The movement position of the back midfielder cannot basically leave the central axis area, because only in this way can his pass ensure that the ball passed to the sides of the side is kept in the shortest time. Otherwise, if he moves to the left and the ball needs to be transferred from his feet to the right, it will require at least one more pass. Of course, he can also choose to pass long passes, but the accuracy is not high, so try to avoid it!"

The players looked at the tactical analysis drawn by Yang Cheng on the tactical board and nodded in unison.

"The responsibility of the two wingers is to send the ball into the penalty area, and the focus is on the opponent's defensive players behind them, so the cross after breaking through the man is the sharpest, while the responsibility of the forward is to score goals, intersperse the opponent's defense line, and insert the offense to create opportunities and space for the front midfielder's back row!"

Yang Cheng pulled out the tactical drawing board for the offensive, and then drew various routes on it to confirm his own rhetoric, and at the same time he was constantly subdividing the responsibilities of players in every position and every area.

It can be said that in his offensive routine, the team can all be pushed forward except for keeping two defenders in the central circle, but Yang Cheng gave different arrangements to the tasks of two center forwards.

In terms of Nedved and Gattuso, the former has excellent offensive ability in the back row and has a long shot, so Yang Cheng will let him actively forward and participate in the left offense, so in his tactical arrangement, the left is the focus of the offense.

Gattuso's offensive ability is insufficient, but his mobility is excellent, so he can retreat to a place that is basically the same as Peron. As Peron's support point and protector, at the same time, once the ball is lost in the frontcourt, he can form a sweeping area in the midfield as soon as possible. Even if he cannot intercept the ball, he can at least delay the opponent's attack.

Of course, these arrangements will not be made until the tactics are arranged on the spot. Yang Cheng will definitely not say it now. Otherwise, everyone will know that he already has a fixed starting list in his mind, so who is willing to fight to the death?

"Once the offense fails and the control of the ball is lost, everyone must invest in counter-grabbing on the spot as soon as possible. Players around the ball must form regional control around the ball as soon as possible to limit the abbot's ball-taker's route, and then to grab it on the body!"

"The forward is the team's first defender, but he cannot retreat. He must be at the forefront of the team and always maintain pressure on his opponent's defense line. Especially when the ball is still in the opponent's half, he must firmly control the area near the penalty area to harass the opponent's pass in this area and return passes to the goalkeeper!"

"Just as I said just now, in my tactics, offense is not just the responsibility of the midfield and frontcourt, and defense is not just the responsibility of the midfield and backcourt. Therefore, all forwards must invest actively in defense as soon as possible, and maintain pressure on their opponents in the midfield as soon as they concede the ball."

"The responsibility of the two left and right central defenders in defense is to protect the two wings and the middle lane. In addition to investing in counter-attacks at the first time, the wingers must also actively retreat to the defense, cooperate with the left and right central defenders to protect the defense line."

In Yang Cheng's tactics, the biggest reliance on defense is the midfield.

Barack, Nedved, and Gattuso are all players with excellent running and defensive abilities. Although Peron is not strong in defense, he has good running and supporting skills. As long as he has a sense of defense, and with the retreating Barack, the barrier of the midfield will come up.

The reason why Yang Cheng used Gattuso in the right center forward is that he valued his running ability. As long as he was on the court, he could harass his opponents continuously throughout the game and interrupt their offense.

In other words, in Yang Cheng's defensive system, Gattuso is an exception because he has neither excellent position nor admirable defensive skills. The only thing he is outstanding is his running ability and tactical execution.

If he was used to hit the midfielder, Yang Cheng was very suspicious that as long as the opponent seduced him, he would definitely lose his position. This is probably why Ancelotti refused to let him be the most barrier in front of the defense line.

But on the other hand, if he wants to play his strengths, he must use his running ability to keep running on the field, expand his coverage area, and always maintain interference with his opponents. Then, with Nedved, Barack and Perron forming a midfield barrier, Kaiserslautern's midfield interception strength is very strong.

Of course, if Gattuso can continue to make progress and strengthen his defensive awareness and position sense, the improvement of Kaiserslautern midfield will be huge, which is why Yang Cheng gave him three times the growth rate.

"In addition, starting from tomorrow, we will add more detailed requirements in training. First, in addition to running in a triangle, the running between players can also form a diamond, but the distance between people must be controlled at about 10 meters. Every player must seriously experience the sense of distance of this 10 meters. Once it exceeds 10 meters, it is considered a violation."

"Secondly, everyone has to raise their heads to play football, because as long as you look up, you can better observe the surrounding environment, observe the running position of your teammates, and provide timely responses and passes."

"Third, the pass should be directed at the teammate's usual feet, but don't pass it to their feet, because we are not playing football while standing. All the players on our field have to run, so the ball should be constantly moving. This should not be passed to the teammate's usual feet, but should be about 1 meter in front of the direction he moves!"

"Fourth, when a and b pass the ball, the third player must run away, with the best triangle and diamond, and be prepared to catch the ball and support the ball at any time!"

"Fifth, all passes must be completed in one kick, and you can only tolerate two touches at most, otherwise it will be considered a violation!"

"These five major details will be implemented into training from tomorrow. All of you must keep your attention 100% during training. Otherwise, if you violate the rules, I would be happy to see you be punished!"

The players were often punished when they were walking the monkeys today, and they were all scared. When they heard this, they felt creepy.

After slapping his palms hard and attracting the attention of all the players, Yang Cheng came to the middle of the conference room and was watched by all the players.

"Buddies, although I know that in your mind at this moment, there are many people who don't think of me very well, thinking that I'm young and inexperienced, but that doesn't matter. The most important thing is that we are now on the same boat, and we must work together!"

"Football has always been a group sports. It is impossible for anyone to defeat your opponent by relying on me or by any of you. No matter how powerful a star is, they need excellent teammates to succeed, otherwise they will only end up failing!"

"In the next month, it will be the most difficult period for our team, but I am confident that as long as we work together to overcome this difficulty, what awaits us will be a bright future. After one season, we will re-embark on the Bundesliga. After one season, we will usher in a great harvest and welcome the praise of fans."

"At that time, when you look back at this month, you will find that the hardships and fatigues you have suffered and the efforts you have made are worth it!"

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng deliberately paused and showed a playful smile.

"The contract I signed with the club is one year, and then we will decide whether to renew the contract for one year depending on the results. If you still do this one year later, and you feel like you are not suitable to stay in the team, then I will quit voluntarily, but if someone attempts to challenge my authority as the team's head coach during this year, then I'm sorry, I will destroy him first without hesitation!"

When he said the last sentence, Yang Cheng seemed extremely determined and looked ruthless.

"I've finished saying it. No matter what you want to do in the future, you will follow your wishes!"
