my football i call the shots

1500 meters is not difficult for Zhang Ziqi and Wang Sheng. Soon, they completed this amount of punishment and returned to the court.

And Cao Chen didn't say anything else, signaling them to return to the field and prepare to continue the next team match.

Following Cao Chen's long whistle, the intra-team match of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School continued.

The personnel partner is still the same as before, Zhang Ziqi is still partnered with Wang Sheng.

Since both teams practiced the opening blitz, now that the game continues, the two teams are no longer in a hurry to attack, but follow the usual rhythm, the main blue team is besieging, the substitute yellow team is defending, and everyone is facing each other. And the main blue team is not in any hurry to attack.

Gao Yi found that Nanhu No. [-] Middle School is now playing more patiently on offense, passing and controlling more carefully and patiently, trying to find the opponent's absolute space.

Especially the echo between Guo Haoming on the front midfielder and Jin Ling on the right. The two of them have been seeking mutual cooperation in a small area, because Guo Haoming's position is more inclined to the right, while Li Lei is closer. Assist in the middle, so that the attack of the main blue team will be more inclined to the right.

In fact, this is what Gao Yi could have expected.

After all, I, the hard-hitting left winger, is working as a "part-time" goalkeeper at this time. Therefore, the main blue team's offense is more inclined to the center and right. This is also a normal behavior. After all, Li Lei played before. The center forward position was transformed by Cao Chen into an inward left winger during this training period, and his playing habits will still be more inclined to the center.

But now, Gao Yi has considered a problem.

That is: If Li Lei is transformed into a left winger, then Zhang Ziyang, the Zhengyin center, will have no substitute? ? ?

In fact, Li Lei's type characteristics are not suitable for playing Zhengyin striker. He is a versatile player in the frontcourt, but the ability to handle the ball required by Zhengyin striker is really not good enough. Now he has been transformed into a left forward. It is estimated that it will be relatively suitable for his type characteristics.

However, the same question remains: If Li Lei goes to play as a substitute left winger, who will be the first substitute at the center forward position?
Well, in fact, this problem is not complicated.

Because Gao Xun told Cao Chen: Gao Yi's current physical condition is not to mention playing for 120 minutes, even if he plays for 210 minutes, he is still alive and well.

In this way, Cao Chen gave Gao Yi a second position with confidence: substitute Zhengyin center forward!

If Zhang Ziyang suffers from physical failure or injury problems, Cao Chen can move Gao Yi to the center position at any time and push him to the front. After all, Gao Yi played really well on the front line alone in the finals. The ability to make the ball can fully meet the team's tactical requirements on the offensive end.

After Gao Yi moved to the center position of Zhengyin, there are still many people who can take his place.

Like Jin Ling, Li Lei, and Wang Fei, who is estimated to have been forgotten by many people, they can all play the position of left winger and give the team good fire support.

Of course, compared to Gao Yi, they are still a bit worse.

But the lineup is only 23 people, and it can only be arranged and matched reasonably.

As I said before, campus football is not like a professional team. There is no so-called transfer, and it is impossible to sign players anywhere, so this is also a test of the head coach's arrangement and coordination.

No, Cao Chen on the sidelines was troubled by this problem at this moment, even as a "part-time referee" he even pulled the team's third goalkeeper to help him work.

Cao Chen frowned and returned to the bench, while Xiao Wang saw Cao Chen's frowning and depressed look, he also came over suspiciously, sat next to Cao Chen and asked what the situation was like.

"Why are you so sad? Coach Cao."

"Isn't it a defensive problem? I feel that this problem is really tricky."

Cao Chen looked helplessly at Xiao Wang next to him: "Although Ziqi and Wang Sheng have made great progress and their characteristics complement each other quite well, once they play together, I feel that the combination of central defenders is still not safe enough. Alas! There is only one month left before the start of the provincial finals, I have to quickly find a way to solve the problem of the central defender combination."

"That's right..." Xiao Wang also nodded in agreement with Cao Chen's statement, "Ziqi can be empty, but she is not as sophisticated as Wang Sheng in card positions, and Wang Sheng's card position awareness is really good. But once he encounters a high center forward like Ziyang, his height will be flawed. After all, he is only more than 170 centimeters, less than 180 centimeters. It’s 185 centimeters, I think with his potential, he can go up two more grades!”

"Hahaha, if Ah Sheng is 185 centimeters, then I don't have to think about this kind of problem..."

Cao Chen laughed, but shook his head helplessly.

"Ziqi and Ah Sheng, the pair of central defenders, I have been studying for a long time. No matter who lags behind, whoever goes up, there are problems. Now I don't know how to arrange it, alas!!!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Chen sighed helplessly again.

"Coach Cao, in fact, Ziqi and Ah Sheng's partner is okay in the 5-3-2 formation, isn't it? The 'Stone' Ah Rui in the scavenger position goes to the back, and Ziqi and Ah Sheng are separated on the left and right sides. It feels like a good game. Or, can we make 5-3-2 our main formation???"

"This won't work..." Cao Chen shook his head without thinking, and rejected Xiao Wang's proposal.

Seeing that his suggestion was rejected by Coach Cao without even thinking about it, Xiao Wang was also very embarrassed at this time, only to see that Xiao Wang blushed a little and asked, "Then, Coach Cao, what do you think about it?" Woolen cloth???"

"My priority now is offense! After all, the next step is the group elimination system, and the goal difference will become particularly important. Maybe if we encounter provincial experimental middle school or Guangfu high school attached to South Academy of Sciences, we need to consider placing Play a 5-3-2 formation to withstand the opponent's offense and try to lose as few as possible. But if we are against Jianghe Middle School in Jianghe County and Haidong Middle School in Dongshan City, we have to strive for a crazy goal difference !"

Listening to Cao Chen's explanation, Xiao Wang nodded silently, and then he tentatively asked: "Then, if we score a goal difference against a weaker team, our defense has a little problem, and it seems that the impact will also be affected." Not big?"

"Ha ha……"

Cao Chen sneered and said, "Xiao Wang, you are still too young. Do you think that the weak team will stand still and let you score the goal difference casually? Impossible! The weak team also wants to win, and they also want to win. , Therefore, the only choice for those weak teams in the provincial finals is to defend and counterattack!!!”

After finishing what he said just now with a less excited tone, Cao Chen softened his tone a little and continued, "I have studied the 12 teams that have qualified for the provincial finals..."

"What? 12 teams???"

Xiao Wang asked with a look of surprise: "Why are there 12 teams? No! Isn't there only 10 teams in the group stage of the provincial finals?"

"Oh, what are you talking about..." Cao Chen remembered that the documents that had been laid down before had not been told to the team's players or his assistant coach Xiao Wang.

So, Cao Chen hurriedly explained to Xiao Wang: "According to the original plan, there are indeed only 10 participating teams in the provincial finals, but this season, the competition committee decided to increase the number of teams that appear. Due to historical reasons, there is only one qualifying place for their municipal competition. In order to allow more powerful teams to enter the provincial finals, the number of participating teams in the provincial finals this season has increased from 10 to 12. Support! Of course, there is still only one place to enter the national finals."

Speaking of this, Cao Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Each provincial competition area has only one place to enter the national finals, and this cannot be changed. Therefore, after the expansion of the participating teams in the provincial finals, the championship competition It's just going to get more intense."

"Haha, after all, from the perspective of probability, there are more participating teams, but there is still one place. The probability of everyone qualifying has become smaller. Naturally, the competition will become more intense."

After Xiao Wang finished speaking with a smile, he thought of a new question, so he continued to ask Cao Chen: "Coach Cao, how should we divide the army after the expansion? Three groups of four teams? Then choose Is the so-called group with the best results qualifying for the third place? Just like this year’s French European Cup???”

"No no no..."

Cao Chen shook his head like a rattle: "Although the army is expanding, there is no change in the competition system. There are still 2 groups, and each group has a total of 6 teams! But this time, there will be more than 4 teams. Yes, this time there is an extra quarter-final battle! That is to say, although each group has 6 teams, but 4 of them will advance to the knockout round! Do you understand???"

"what???"

Xiao Wang was obviously also intimidated by the strange competition system of the competition committee.

"6 teams, and then there are 4 places to advance!?? My God, the weak team will definitely fight for their lives! The first two places are basically irrelevant to them, so they will definitely fight for the rest No wonder you have to pay so much attention to defense, Coach Cao..."

Before Xiao Wang finished speaking, Cao Chen said to him seriously: "Even if the competition system is not like this, we must pay more attention to the issue of defense! In modern football, the most important thing is the issue of defense. Which strong team in Europe? Can’t defend? Like Atletico Madrid, they can rise up in La Liga and the Champions League. Didn’t they also rely on defense?! So your point of view is wrong and needs to be corrected.”

"Uh-huh……"

Xiao Wang smiled awkwardly and said, "Coach Cao, I understand, I'll correct it, I'll correct it, hehe."

"Um……"

Cao Chen heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I've already positioned our team. Judging from the current situation of our team, the most realistic and most likely thing is to compete for No. 3, and the quarter-finals will go against No. 2 from another group. [-]. The worst case is to compete for the fourth place in the group, but in that case, you have to face the first place in the other group."

"Uh……"

Xiao Wang suddenly felt that the situation was a bit shocking, so he looked at Cao Chen with some doubts and said, "Then, if we can only get the fourth place in the group, wouldn't it be possible for us to go to the Guangfu Affiliated High School of the South Academy of Sciences or the Provincial Experimental Middle School, or even the Provincial Experimental Middle School? Is it against No. [-] High School again???"

"Well..." Cao Chen also nodded with a serious face; "Yes, according to the principle of avoiding the same city, the Fourth Middle School must be in a different group from ours, and the Provincial Experiment and the Guangfu College of the Southern Academy of Sciences are also in the same group. It is the qualifying team of Guangfu City, so they will also avoid it. This means that we will definitely meet one of them in the group stage."

"hiss……"

Xiao Wang suddenly collapsed on the back of the bench seat with "Beijing paralysis", and he shook his head helplessly and said: "Then it will be troublesome at that time, if we can't withstand these two offensive teams The firepower, then it will be difficult for us to score the goal difference?"

"That's it!!!"

Cao Chen nodded heavily: "Otherwise, the problem of our central defender combination will give me such a headache???"

"Uh, that's true..."

Xiao Wang collapsed on the bench seat, and began to think strangely.

"Ziqi and Ah Sheng's central defender partner is not stable. Well, we can change a pair of partners? How about withdrawing Hao Han to the central defender position? Hao Han's defense is really good, so I don't know how to match him How about Ziqi or Ah Sheng's partner?"

"Vastness???"

Cao Chen frowned and glanced at Xiao Wang, but after a short pause, Cao Chen shook his head, denying Xiao Wang's idea.

"Hao Hao can't do it!!! Hao Han's defensive actions are sometimes relatively large. If he hastily shoveled down the opponent in the position of the central defender, he will probably be given a red card by the referee for being the last defender. If the penalty is sent off, we will be 10 against 11 at that time, and we will really be unable to play at all. I think Hao Han is more suitable to play a sweeping midfielder position, so it is safer."

"Won't it be vast? Then let's think of another one..."

Xiao Wang continued to start whimsical state Ing.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Wang continued to help Cao Chen come up with an idea: "Should we let Wang Bo retreat? Wang Bo's organizational skills are good. If he plays as a central defender, he can be transformed into an organizational skill." A central defender? In this way, like Vertonghen of Belgium, he can participate in the organization when attacking, send the ball to the offensive players in the frontcourt, and participate in defense, killing two birds with one stone."

"Not safe, not safe..."

Cao Chen's head shook like a rattle again.

"You can't do this. First of all, we need to rely on old teammates like Wang Bo to control the rhythm in the midfield. Second, Wang Bo's defensive ability is not strong. Besides, I don't like the position of central defender." As a technical center back, it turns out that the center back is solid enough to defend and can play the ball cleanly when organizing. I think it is enough! Like the season when Leicester City won the championship, their two center backs Morgan and Huth, those are all muscular central defenders..."

Speaking of this, Cao Chen also added: "One more thing is very important! A central defender must have the ability to head the ball and be able to participate in the team's set-piece offense. Corner kicks and free kicks are not uncommon, but we only have Ziyang and Gao Yi as our header attack points that can threaten our opponents. If there is another header attack point in the penalty area..."

Halfway through Cao Chen's words, a figure immediately appeared in Xiao Wang's mind.

Xiao Wang's eyes lit up, and he interrupted Cao Chen's words: "Coach Cao! Why don't you use Xue Chen as the starting central defender??? During this period of time, Xue Chen's training attitude is really hard, basically every day He will practice more, especially in the header attack, he has always been able to perform eye-catchingly, and I even saw him press Ziyang to score a header once!!! Don't talk about this performance, it's just With his attitude, I think you should give him a chance to appear in the main lineup!"

"Xue Chen!!!"

Cao Chen was also reminded of the idea by Xiao Wang.

"Indeed, I'm quite satisfied with this young man's attitude and state during this period. But Xue Chen has only played as a substitute. I don't know if he will be timid when he goes to a big game..."

But after saying this, Cao Chen quickly denied his statement.

"But, if young people don't give them the opportunity to play official games, they will only become more and more timid! Good! Give it a try and see if Ziqi and Xue Chen are good partners, or Ah Sheng and Xue Chen's partners Alright! You have to give it a try, otherwise the problem of the central defender partner is really nerve-wracking."

Cao Chen's style of doing things is also vigorous and vigorous, leaving as soon as he says.

After deciding to give Xue Chen a chance, he got up and walked to the sidelines, signaling to the third goalkeeper who replaced him to stop the game temporarily.

This guy basically plays a soy sauce role in the team, and occasionally fills other positions when the team is short of manpower.Having said that, this poor third goalkeeper seems to spend far more time playing other positions in the team's confrontation than the goalkeeper position, but fortunately, this player has no desire to play, and he himself is a sophomore in high school Now, the main focus is still on learning, so naturally it doesn't matter how to serve the team.

(PS: Well, in order to give such a poor third goalkeeper a sense of presence, Xiao Mouzi decided to think of a name for him. Well, it's called: Tang Junkun.)
After receiving Cao Chen's instructions, the third goalkeeper named Tang Junkun also stopped the game immediately, and shouted for everyone to return to the sidelines to gather.

Since Cao Chen had been communicating with Xiao Wang on the bench just now, and he didn't know what was going on on the court at this time, Tang Junkun also hurriedly explained the situation on the court to Cao Chen.

"Coach Cao, when you left just now, the substitute Huang team scored again. It was Xin Lin who scored the goal! After Xin Lin cut in from the right, he kicked Zhenyu's wicket with his right foot and scored the goal. Later, the main blue team also responded. Li Lei's in-cut shot hit a world wave. Although Gao Yi made a save in the right direction, he failed to block the ball. Li Lei's shot was too powerful! It was terrifying. "

"Oh??? 2 to 2? It's only... 13 minutes? So fast???"

Cao Chen was also very surprised at the score on the field at this moment. He never thought that he would score two goals after talking with Xiao Wang on the sidelines for ten minutes. It was really unexpected.

Of course, this also proves that during this period of time, my offensive training has really paid off. Now the team's offensive ability is not bad, regardless of whether it is the main force or the substitute. Yes, there is also a sense of defensive assistance in the frontcourt. The most important problem to be solved now is the choice of the two central defenders. How to match them to achieve the best results! ! !
After the boys on the field came back to gather, Cao Chen gave the first order without delay.

"Ah Sheng, you switch places with Xue Chen!"

"Ah???" Wang Sheng was immediately discouraged after hearing Cao Chen's order, because he was worried that such a change of position would lose his position as the main force in the future.

As the main central defender of the team for two terms, Wang Sheng would really feel unacceptable if he lost his main position before entering the provincial finals.

But Cao Chen's order is so, can Wang Sheng refuse? ? ?

No.

Compared with losing the main position, Wang Sheng absolutely cannot be expelled from the team at this juncture!You know, if Wang Sheng can break through the competition in the provincial finals, then Wang Sheng can also win the special honor of a "National Second Class Athlete", which is related to the extra points in the college entrance examination!

Therefore, Wang Sheng chose to obey the order obediently, and exchanged the vest representing his identity with Xue Chen.

Seeing Wang Sheng's dejected expression, Cao Chen also understood what his mental activities were like at this time.

So, Cao Chen added: "Ah Sheng, you don't have to be so depressed. For the rest of the first half, Ziqi partnered with Xue Chen. In the second half, it will be your partner Xue Chen. Our team also only has three orthodox players like you. There are so many centre-backs out there, so I wanted to try and see how different centre-back combinations work."

Having said that, Cao Chen shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Actually, you and Ziqi have no problem with your personal abilities, Sheng Sheng, but the combination of the two of you is not stable enough. It always makes people feel that the defense is 'threatened, all trees are soldiers'." So, I want to see which of you will be more secure with whom."

After all, Cao Chen deliberately glanced at Zhang Ziqi, Wang Sheng, and Xue Chen.

"Everyone work hard! Show yourself well! You will all have a chance!"

The three boys responded swearingly: "I know Coach Cao!!!"

"Then let's start after changing the vest... Oh yes, the substitute yellow team directly got a free kick in the frontcourt, and there is no need to start the game again in the middle circle."

After the explanation, Cao Chen signaled the boys to resume the confrontation within the team.

……

Then, how about the partner of "Zhang Ziqi + Xue Chen"?

Or is the partner of "Wang Sheng + Xue Chen" better?
Even, is it possible for Cao Chen to continue to use the old pair of "Zhang Ziqi + Wang Sheng"?

This question is simply a tongue twister, let's continue to study it tomorrow! o(∩_∩)o
