Chapter 43 We were shocked!
Brian Kidd really admires Yang Cheng more and more!
But I can’t understand it more and more.
Although the two have worked together for a year, many times, he really doesn't know what Yang Cheng is thinking.
But he often has to wait until the incident has passed, or even a long time later, before he suddenly realizes it.
Just like now.
The Bayswater Chinese had very strong offensive firepower last season, but the biggest problem was defense.
The double central defenders composed of Koscielny and Roger Johansson are notoriously impetuous and reckless.
But Yang Cheng has not improved his defense all season.
The team was not even allowed to close the points.
But in the new season, the team has entered the English Championship where the competition is more intense, the opponents are stronger, and the tactics are more targeted. There is definitely no way to play like this anymore.
Improving defense is inevitable.
The key is how to change it?
After selling Martin Roland, how will the team's midfield be arranged?
This has become a big problem before everyone.
If he were to change the head coach of another team, he would probably have a hard time thinking about it.
But what about Yang Cheng?
The solution he gave was unexpected by everyone.
Introduced Jose Fonte.
This central defender who could not play football in Portugal is still very young, and it is difficult to say how powerful he is.
But this kid has one characteristic: calmness, rationality, and the key is his high emotional intelligence.
Not only does he have fun in the locker room, but he also cooperates well with his teammates on the court.
The key is that his teammates are still willing to listen to him.
The 433 tactic used by Yang Cheng puts the defense higher up. Koscielny is fast, explosive, excellent in one-on-one defense, and likes to rush.
The team also supports Koscielny to advance.
Because of Koscielny's speed and explosive power, even if the attack fails, he still has enough ability to recover.
But the problem is that Koscielny often loses his position when attacking.
From the beginning of the warm-up match, Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd discovered that Jose Fonte could always remind Koscielny in time during the game that the French central defender seemed much more "calm" during the game. .
Interestingly, Yang Cheng tried Jose Fonte to partner with Koscielny, Skrtel and Roger Johnson respectively, and the results were very good.
On the contrary, when the other three teamed up, the effect was not ideal.
I have to admit that Jose Fonte’s character is really admirable.
After the defense is clear, what about the midfield?
After Leon Andreasen arrived, many people felt that he was going to threaten Huddlestone.
The Danish midfielder can play as a central defender and deep-lying midfielder, and has outstanding defensive ability.
Aren’t the Bayswater Chinese people incapable of defense?
Everyone's first reaction was to strengthen the midfield defense.
Isn’t it the midfielder who is lagging behind first and foremost?
What’s the result?
No, Huddlestone, who has better passing ability, continues to start.
Martin Roland will be replaced by Lars Diarra.
This short French midfielder is too good at running and grabbing.
After releasing Lass Diarra, the Bayswater Chinese midfield pressure will be significantly less.
More importantly, the area to steal the ball is further forward.
Everyone knows that the further forward the area where the ball is stolen is, the faster the counterattack after the steal will be and the more threatening it will be.
In the first round of the new season of the British Championship, playing away to Reading, the Bayswater Chinese took the lead from the start.
Reading was suppressed throughout the first half.
Reading, which almost overtook the league last season, was overwhelmed at home by a newly promoted team that had never played in the second tier of the league and was full of mistakes.
Seeing this in the game, Brian Kidd couldn't help but be filled with admiration.
Las Diarra used this skill really well.
If he guessed correctly, there is a Matuidi who is similar to Las Diarra in the team.
What about Gerhan Yinler?
If Leon Andreasen appears in the deep midfield, it would be a waste to add Lars Diarra in front. At this time, can't Inler be used to partner Modric?
These are two different midfield combination ideas.
Thinking of this, Brian Kidd looked at Yang Cheng in the coaching area again, filled with emotion.
Except for being a genius, he could not imagine how a young man who was only 23 years old, had just graduated from college, had never been exposed to coaching, and had not even taken a coaching certificate, could have such profound tactical attainments?
It was at this time that Yang Cheng quickly walked to the sidelines and called Las Diarra.
"No. 15, pinch him!" Yang Cheng made gestures.
Reading’s No. 15 player, James Happel.
He is going to be in trouble.
……
"Reading wanted a quick counterattack."
"Passing the ball in midfield, Sidwell took the ball and passed it to Andrew Hughes."
"Again Pass, James Happel."
"Look at Reading's offense this time, Happel took the ball and tried..."
"The ball was intercepted! ”
"The Bayswater Chinese stole the ball in the frontcourt."
"It's Lars Diarra again."
"This player showed very good defensive ability today."
“Look at this time, Las Diarra advanced with the ball himself and instigated a counterattack.”
“The Bayswater Chinese counterattacked very quickly.”
< br>
"Reading is also quickly returning to defense."
"Las Diarra met Sidwell who returned to defense in time..."
"Pass!"
“Good pass.”
“Modric followed up and scored again, leaving a gap on the left side of the penalty area.”
"Ribery follows up and pushes!"
"The ball is in!!!"
"Franck Ribery breaks Reading's goal again!"
“In the 41st minute of the first half, French winger Franck Ribery scored another victory for the Bayswater Chinese.”
“2-0!”
"The Reading team played very poorly in the first half."
"Up to now, they have not even organized a decent attack. They only have 2 shots, all of which are long-range shots without any threat. . ”
“Looking at the Bayswater Chinese, our newly promoted team’s first game of the new season, It was a surprise to all of us that they continued their gorgeous offensive style in the English League Two last season.”
……
When the Bayswater Chinese players were on the court. During the grand celebration, Steve Koppel in front of the home team's coach's bench was livid and looked ahead in disbelief.
Behind him, assistant coach Wally Downs also showed an expression of disbelief. The tactics they had carefully prepared over the past month, and the targeted tactics they had specially arranged before the game, were not able to be used at all during the game.
It was as if they had been disarmed and their hands tied, ready to be slaughtered.
Is this like a newly promoted team?
Didn’t it mean that the selling of Martin Roland and Martin Devaney would greatly affect the strength of the Bayswater Chinese?
What's going on with the French midfielder named Lars Diarra?
Are all the players introduced by Ligue 2 so strong?
And Dave Kitson.
This guy is really strong.
I can’t, my heart aches.
it hurts.
……
After the Bayswater Chinese took a 2-0 lead in the first half, Reading took the lead in making substitution adjustments in the second half.
First, during the halftime break, a forward was replaced to strengthen the defense in the midfield.
This allowed them to barely stabilize the situation.
But how could Steve Koppell be willing to lose at home like this?
He made his second substitution adjustment in the 57th minute.
Replaced center defender Addy Williams and replaced him with 34-year-old center Sean Gott.
Goth came from the youth training of Manchester United. He once played for Manchester City and moved to Reading in 2003. He performed well in the English League One last season.
Koppell hopes to use Sean Gott's experience and offensive power to open up the frontcourt.
Yang Cheng made no substitutions and continued to maintain the tactics of the first half and continued to put pressure on Reading.
And in the 63rd minute, the ball was stolen in the frontcourt. After Ribery got the ball, he was interfered by Lars Diarra and had to temporarily adjust the breakthrough line. Reading was Sidwell fouled.
The Bayswater Chinese got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd looked at it and shook their heads.
This is not an accident.
It has happened many times in the game.
Las Diarra has a wide range of running, which is originally a good thing.
But the problem is that Ribery cuts inside, and he often has to be active in the rib area.
If Lars Diarra is smart enough, he should choose to avoid Ribery.
But Redding is not stupid either.
After being robbed several times by Las Diarra, they began to consciously avoid Las Diarra.
The French boy was so anxious that he gave up a little.
"Perhaps, Modric should be considered on the left side." Brian Kidd suggested.
It is actually possible for Modric to play as a left center midfielder.
He even kicked the left side with his right foot, which was more convenient.
Moreover, it is closer to Ribery and the dual-core connection is more convenient.
“On the right side, Alan Lennon is responsible for widening the width, leaving more space for Lars Diarra.”
Alan Lennon is still very good. Young, Yang Cheng's current use of him is relatively simple.
For young players, it is too complex and the tasks are too heavy, which will make him at a loss.
“Try it during training. You can try it next time in the official competition.”
While Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd were talking, Gianni Vio, who was originally sitting in the coaching bench, had already walked out and shouted loudly to the players on the sidelines, indicating how they should cooperate and what routines they should adopt.
Ribery, who has the best footwork, takes the penalty.
I saw the Frenchman take a curve ball and accurately send the ball to the right corner of the small penalty area.
The tall Dave Kitson was originally near the penalty spot, but at some point, he moved like a ghost, rushed to this position, and used his body to force away Glenn Little headed the goal from close range.
The ball was smashed into the goal by Dave Kitson.
3 to 0!
Scored twice!
Dave Kitson was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium.
All the Bayswater Chinese players followed closely behind, chasing out and celebrating the goal.
Both Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd couldn't help laughing, which affected Gianni Vio.
During the Chinese training camp in Bayswater, Yang Chengke handed over all the team's set pieces to Gianni Vio.
No, the Italians did not disappoint Yang Cheng.
In the first game of the new season, the team scored a set kick.
In front of the home team’s coaching bench, Steve Koppel’s expression became even more depressed.
Kitson scored twice...
His heart hurt even more.
……
After scoring the third goal, Yang Cheng immediately made substitutions.
Ashley Young replaced Ribery.
Gerhan Inle replaced Modric.
These two players are what Yang Cheng values most, and they are also the core combat effectiveness of the Bayswater Chinese.
Although the league has just begun, it will be a double match a week from the beginning. Can't Yang Cheng save some energy?
After the visiting team took a 3-goal lead, Reading's morale was also depleted.
In addition, Koper used 2 substitutions early and did not dare to act rashly.
The situation has continued, and the Bayswater Chinese have always had the advantage.
At the 81st minute, Yang Cheng replaced Dave Kitson with Lambert.
In the end, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Reading 3-0 away from home.
This made the Bayswater Chinese, who participated in the English Championship for the first time in history, famous.
The newly promoted team overturned a strong British Championship team that was aiming to hit the Premier League in the away game.
This is definitely news.
More importantly, even in the away games of the British Championship, the Bayswater Chinese still adhere to the passing and cutting style of the past season without any compromise.
This surprised many fans.
You know, teams like the Bayswater Chinese that insist on technology, passing and cutting, and offensive football are rare, let alone the English Championship, even in the Premier League.
Overturning Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season made the Bayswater Chinese enter the field of vision of British fans and even European fans for the first time.
The national live broadcast of the first round of the British Championship in the new season has allowed more fans to get to know this team better.
The only discordant thing was that Reading head coach Steve Coppell stubbornly stated at the post-match press conference that the home defeat was an accident.
“It was not easy to play in the first round of the new season and we were upset.”
“But my players and I still firmly believe that we are still the most competitive in the English Championship in the new season. The team! ”
Please collect it! I beg for all kinds of votes! Thank you! !
