Chapter 1110 University Professor and Junior High School Student
"Let's not play wingers?"
Chen Xingyi looked at his mentor in surprise. The expression of Luo Kai next to him was not much better than his.
There was no way, this was because what Dillon said to the two of them just now was too shocking.
As soon as the two arrived, after Dillon expressed his welcome, he got straight to the point and clearly told them that in their national team, they would not play their best winger position as before.
"Yeah." Dillon nodded, "Let me ask for your opinion first. I know that you are all forwards and you are used to playing at the winger position. So if I ask you to change positions, you may not be used to it at first... If If you don’t agree, then I will have to replace him.”
These words were very direct and somewhat... ruthless.
Even Chen Xingyi didn't expect that the old man he saw in the national team was a little different from the old man he had worked with in the club.
This is simply a naked threat!
Translated is "If you are not willing to follow my tactical design, then go sit on the bench."
Two former main strikers of the national team are now going to be substitutes... Are you kidding me?
Although Chen Xingyi still didn't understand why the old man said that, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I have no problem, I can fight..."
Luo Kai was not as eager to show his loyalty as Chen Xingyi, but asked: "Why do you want us to change positions?"
"Because in my tactics, there is no room for wingers. I need wing attacks, but I don't need wingers." Dillon directly took out the tactical board he just showed to Xia Xiaoyu and pointed at the two wing pieces. "This is you."
Chen Xingyi blurted out: "Isn't this still a winger?"
Dillon chuckled, held down the two chess pieces with two fingers, and then dragged them back to the center line: "This is you too."
"Wide midfielder?"
Dillon continued to drag back, dragging it to the thirty-meter area line: "This is still you."
"Fullback?!"
Chen Xingyi exclaimed, and Luo Kai was also stunned.
"Hey, don't make such an expression. It's not like you haven't played as a full-back before. Didn't you play as a full-back in the Asian Cup against Japan?"
"But that was a cameo..." Because he had a better relationship with Dillon, Chen Xingyi could only say this, and Luo Kai remained silent.
"Yes, so from now on you no longer need to make a cameo. When attacking, you will be a winger, and when defending, you must withdraw to the back line to assist in defense. But my requirements for your offense are greater than your defense. Why do you have to withdraw to the center? Because there is no room for you to stay in the front. Didn't you feel it during the Asian Cup? "
When Dillon asked, the two of them fell into deep thought.
The game against Iraq left a deep impression on them because the two of them basically didn't perform much in that game. The whole game didn't feel like they were playing football, but like they were charging against a tall, thick wall.
Time and time again, they bumped into the wall or fell into the quagmire of the other party's crowd.
It is easy to lose the ball if you control it on the spot. If you want to dribble the ball, there is no space or route to break through.
The kick made them both very uncomfortable.
"Moving your position back is to better utilize your characteristics of fast speed and ability to break through. Just like you always have to run up before long jump."
As soon as Dillon explained it, the two of them understood.
It seems that they have played all three positions, but in fact they still focus on offense.
As for defense...
Looking at the chess pieces that were not completely displayed on the tactical board, the two of them also guessed that the new coach should play a 352 formation.
The three defenders are the main defensive force. They assist in defense and use their speed to contain the opponent's offense on the wing. It’s not really about keeping them in the backfield playing fullback.
"I know you may be a little uncomfortable. But it doesn't matter. You were also a temporary full-back against the Japanese team, but you did a good job. In fact, just play like that. Defense is an overall problem, and it is not you. It can be solved by two people playing alone on the wing. Now you just need to answer me, are you willing to drop back from the winger position and switch to a full midfielder? ”
Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai looked at each other, then nodded at the same time: "We are willing, coach!"
Dilong laughed: "Very good, go back and call Wang Guangwei for me."
※※※
After the two people went back, they called Wang Guangwei out.
No one else in the room was surprised at this time. As Hulay said just now, the new head coach Jorge Dillon has already started his work. As a new coach, it is normal to interview the players one by one and get to know them.
At the same time, through the information brought back by Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Xingyi, and Luo Kai, everyone also guessed the next tactics of the national team.
The number was changed from the 433 they were familiar with to 352.
To be honest, it will definitely be uncomfortable to adapt, but there is no way. Looking at the head coach's attitude and asking people one by one to discuss tactics and position allocation, it shows that Dillon is very determined to implement his new tactics in the national team.
Even if you don't adapt, you must adapt, otherwise you won't be able to stay in the national team.
This is completely different from when Dong Jianhai took office, nothing changed and everything went as it should.
After Dong Jianhai took office, everyone felt very comfortable. But looking at the performance of the Asian Cup, they must also admit that if the national team does not make changes, it is so difficult to play in the Asian Cup now... What will happen after reaching the top 12?
You must know that the top 12 tournament is the highest level event in Asia, not the Asian Cup.
If it hadn't been for the defeat in the Asian Cup, the players might have been a little resistant to Dillon's tough changes right from the start.
Especially people like Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi who originally played well at the winger position. As soon as they came, they were forced to move to the full-backs. When defending, they had to return to the full-backs. They kept sprinting back and forth throughout the game. , the physical exertion is not something that fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game can imagine.
Fortunately, modern football has high physical requirements for players, so even forwards have sufficient physical reserves.
If it had been the 1990s, the twelve-minute physical test would have wiped out a bunch of international players. If they were expected to keep shuttling up and down the two wings, the international players would have rebelled...
< br>
But it was precisely because of the failure of the Asian Cup that everyone saw the future clearly - it was definitely not as beautiful as the media and fans imagined.
Regardless of their three-game unbeaten streak in the World Cup, if they continue like this, it is really possible that they will not even be able to play in the qualifying rounds...
Everyone is still young. When they think that four years later, when they are in their prime, they will not even be able to participate in the World Cup, how many people can accept such a result?
※※※
Wang Guangwei didn't go there for long, and soon he returned to the room.
When they saw him coming back, everyone gathered around and asked the head coach why he was looking for him.
Previously, Dillon was looking for offensive players. Wang Guangwei is a central defender. What can he do to find him? Criticize his performance in the Asian Cup?
"The coach asked me to practice long passes more and make my long passes more accurate..." Wang Guangwei said. "He said that when switching from defense to offense, if we can attack directly from the back line, it will save more time than passing through the midfield. This way we can catch the opponent off guard..."
Based on the information that everyone has received before, the task that Dillon assigned to Wang Guangwei can be figured out at once.
Since it is playing 352, Hu Lai will definitely start with Zhou Zijing. The Chinese team has two forwards in the frontcourt. At the same time, there is a center like Zhou Zijing who is strong and strong in the air. He can directly pass the long ball to his head in the backcourt. It's normal.
When Zhou Zijing fights for the ball, he can not only control the advancement himself, but also pass the football to the people around him, such as Zhang Qinghuan who presses forward, or Xia Xiaoyu who cuts forward.
In addition, Hu Lai has a strong anti-offside ability. Long passes from the backcourt can directly find him. It only takes one pass to penetrate the opponent's defense, allowing Hu Lai to directly threaten the opponent's goal...
It can be said that starting from Zhou Zijing, all the way to Wang Guangwei on the back line, we pieced together the things that everyone is responsible for one by one, and we got a glimpse of the whole picture.
Everyone knows that Jorge Dillon is a famous coach because he has won many championships.
But how exactly is there a level? Just rely on championships to prove it?
A championship only proves that he has done well in the past.
But it doesn’t prove the present, let alone the future.
It's not like any team can lead a world-class coach.
And now Dillon's actions have given everyone confidence in him.
Because from the fact that he called people one by one for interviews, everyone at least knew that Dillon was meticulous and paid attention to details, which was very particular.
The previous foreign coach of the Chinese team, Marcel Wilson, was also a well-known head coach with considerable background. He was once a member of the FIFA Technical Committee and won a league championship when coaching in Europe.
But why did such a coach fail to succeed in the Chinese team? In the end, it was Shi Wuyin, a local head coach, who led the team to the World Cup finals in history.
Later, some media interviewed national team players and talked about this issue.
The international players gave several reasons, one of which is this:
Although Wilson has a very high level, he is like a university professor teaching a group of junior high school students. What he talks about is too profound for the junior high school students to understand. At the same time, Wilson felt that what he said was very simple. How could the Chinese team players not understand?
In this way, there is a deviation. Wilson's words were clear and logical, and his tactics were exquisite, but when the Chinese team players were on the field, they couldn't execute them. Even the best tactics were just words on paper and had no practical significance.
After being replaced by Shi Wuyin as the coach, he is equivalent to a high school teacher and can also teach junior high school students. He understands what the knowledge structure of junior high school students is like and can teach targeted lessons. So even though his ability is not as good as that of college professor Wilson, he fits the Chinese team very well. His teammates understand his tactics and can implement his tactics.
In this way, the Chinese team successfully entered the World Cup under the leadership of Shi Wuyin, whose ability did not seem to be that outstanding.
Of course, this is only one of the many reasons why the Chinese team was able to reach the World Cup, and it is not the decisive factor.
Just how much can explain the difference between high-level foreign teachers and Chinese teachers.
After Dillon took over the Chinese team, many among the international players were worried that he would make the same mistake as Wilson.
But looking at it now... with Dillon's meticulous working style, I'm afraid it will be fundamentally different from Wilson's.
"Oh, one more thing. Coach said let's..."
Having said this, Wang Guangwei paused for a moment.
Sure enough, when they heard him talking about this, everyone became energetic and stared at him to see who would be called for an interview next.
Seeing everyone's hopeful eyes, Wang Guangwei smiled:
"The coach said we should go have dinner!"
A group of people were stunned for a moment, and collectively raised their middle fingers to Wang Guangwei. (End of chapter)
