Chapter 343 Little Black House, Big Strategy

Boom boom boom!
The roar of the supercar resounded through Sebena Avenue.

Pedestrians on the street have long been familiar with it.

The car that came out of the Bayern training base must be another star's car.

After a while, the supercar stopped in front of a villa.

Looking at the luxurious villa, Hames was a little shocked.

In the team, Rossi's personality is very low-key and calm, but he didn't expect that off the court, he was driving a supercar, living in a villa, and hugging a celebrity, which was very high-profile.

He has just joined Bayern for one season.

Even after he became famous in the World Cup, he landed in the Bernabeu with a transfer fee of 8000 million from the Champions League and an annual salary of 800 million after tax, he would not dare to make such a publicity.

After thinking about it again, I felt very logical.

Rossi's salary in the team is already very high, plus he has a rich and famous girlfriend, such a configuration is considered low-key.

At the very least, during the year he joined Bayern, the media never took photos of him going in and out of nightclubs alone.

"James, I'm not very good at driving, didn't I get motion sickness just now?"

Hames shook his head, but felt a burst of fear in his heart.

Come on in a straight line, who wouldn't!

But this guy Rossi, he actually refueled in a corner, and his driving skills were so slippery.

"Come in and sit down, Pixie is going to London!"

The decoration in the villa is very simple, not as luxurious as imagined.

Water, vegetable salad, a small piece of beef and fish are Rossi's post-training snacks.

James looked at the food in front of him and finally understood why Rossi was so successful.

The two chatted while eating, but Hames had no taste for the food in front of him.

"That..." After hesitating for a while, Hames mustered up the courage and said, "Rom, excuse me, I really have something to ask you."

The phrase "please teach me how to play football" in the parking lot, Rossi guessed his purpose.

For a star of James' level, his skills are impeccable, and in some respects, he is even better than himself.

What he asked for advice was to teach him how to quickly integrate into the team.

In the last few games, James has been given the opportunity to start, but his performance on the field is very sluggish.

What professional players are most afraid of is that if they cannot integrate into the team, their playing time will be reduced, which will affect their competitive state.

Especially for a star of his level, he is under a lot of pressure from the outside world.

He didn't want to sink in Germany, and after the game, he found assistant coach David again.

But the other party has tried his best to help him, but the effect is not good.

Just when he was frowning, David thought of Rossi.

He also came from another league, but he integrated very quickly, which may help.

With his suggestion, there was the scene of James blocking the car.

Rossi didn't immediately show that he was willing to help, but was rather repulsive.

"James, maybe I can't help you, you should go to the team coach, they are more professional."

"It was Mr. David who asked me to come to you."

Oh, it was David.

Rossi finally dug out the "behind the scenes".

He wanted to understand why James was looking for himself and not someone else.

Because he doesn't want to do things that are beyond his authority.

"Since Mr. David can't do anything, I can't do anything either!"

There was a trace of disappointment on the look of James, and the fork in his hand kept turning the vegetable salad.

After a while, he was not reconciled, and said again: "At least, please tell me, how did you play with everyone in your first season in the team?"

When James surprised the World Cup with a turn and shot, Rossi had just crossed over and got a professional contract under Leicester City, who had just been promoted to the Premier League.

In just three years, the former "Heaven's Proud Son" actually lowered his self-esteem and bowed his head to ask for advice. He had to lament the cruelty and ruthlessness of professional football.

Rossi was depressed for a while, then stood up suddenly and said, "Hames, would you like a cup of coffee?"

James, who knew exactly what Rossi meant, immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will!"

Rossi took him to his little black room, which contained a complete set of video electronics.

This summer, Rossi is in it to study the tactics of each team.

After sitting down, Rossi first gave James a brief introduction to the current team's lineup and tactics, so that he could have a preliminary understanding.

He had dabbled in these things under David's instructions, and he understood them very quickly.

Next, Rossi downloaded the videos of James' first starts in these games to further analyze the team's tactics.

"Well, Luo, didn't you want to help me find out the problem, why do you keep talking about the team's tactics?"

Rossi said: "James, you have to figure out one thing now. Players must rely on the team system to play a stronger role. This is also your problem."

James was puzzled, and said: "What I do now is to familiarize myself with the playing style of my teammates, and then establish a tacit understanding and cooperation with them, isn't it?"

Rossi shook his head and said: "No, this is just one of them. These are what you have to do, but all players must execute around the entire team's tactics."

"For example, when you know where Robben likes to take the ball, the threat will be higher, and you will pass the ball to him in his comfortable position."

"But have you ever thought that the opponent knows what Robben likes to do better than you. Even the fans know your pass, so the opponent won't defend?"

Rossi's words made James fall into deep thought.

"So, when you want to pass the ball to Robben, you have to consider not only his position, but also the opponent's position. If the opponent is ready, how do you do it."

"Your former teammate Toni Kroos has an average pass success rate of more than 90% per game, which is a very high success rate. But many passes are safety balls. Many fans think that they have no effect."

"But does it really work?"

James shook his head.

If Kroos relies on the success rate of safety balls, it is impossible to sit firmly in the main position of Real Madrid.

It was because of his countless foot safety balls that he got a threatening pass opportunity.

James seems to understand.

When I came to Bayern, I was eager to perform and afraid of making mistakes. When I cooperated with my teammates, I only wanted to deliver the ball safely to the feet of my teammates, completely ignoring the defense around me.

In this way, although the teammates are taking the ball in their familiar positions, the opponent's defense is already in place, and the offensive threat is naturally reduced.

James, who seemed to have opened his mind, suddenly felt refreshed.

The problem that troubled him was solved, which was more ecstatic than the beer in the bar.

"Thank you, Luo, I have fully understood."

Rossi said lightly: "What do you understand? I just mentioned a small problem. The next thing is your biggest problem. Watch the video first!"

James sat down obediently as if he had been poured with cold water, watching himself play football on the screen.

When the camera ends Bayern's attack, the frame freezes.

"See what's wrong?" Rossi asked.

James tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head.

Rossi used a laser pointer to draw a circle at the top of the penalty area and said, "Defense is defense."

In the picture, after Bayern finishes attacking, there is a vacuum at the top of the opponent's penalty area. There are no Bayern players covering it, so the opponent can launch a counterattack from here.

And the person in charge of this area is James, who is in the penalty area and is hugging his head because of the slight difference in the shot.

"It was just to solve your personal technical problems, now it's tactics."

Rossi pulled out a few pictures, all of which were the players' positions when the team switched from offense to defense.

"As a midfielder, after the attack is over, we should press quickly and prevent the opponent from counter-attacking, instead of standing here and doing nothing."

James blushed. In the screen, he was almost not involved in the defense.

It also has to do with his position.

As a midfielder, he needs to attack the opponent's penalty area and create scoring opportunities.

But absolutely no defensive awareness.

James, who realized the problem, was a little surprised, and said, "Luo, what do you mean, I want to change the position on the court?"

After thinking about it, he shook his head again and said, "No, I played in Real Madrid before, and Mr. Ancelotti didn't ask me to change positions. I can still contribute double-doubles to the team!"

Rossi said: "This is what I said, the team's tactics can play to your best ability. Real Madrid's lineup at that time, a balanced midfielder and super fast counterattack, the players are all super-level, you can play whatever you want."

"But we don't have the super counterattack speed of Real Madrid. There is no Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale to pull the defense for you. Once you get the ball, you will fall into double-teams. Naturally, you will get used to using your dribbling and getting rid of the defense."

"Of course, your dribbling is good, but after you turn in circles like this, the opponent has already returned to the defense, and there is no chance to attack."

Although Rossi didn't say it directly, James already knew that his existence was delaying the rhythm and speed of the game.

"But why didn't Mr. David tell me?"

Rossi said: "It may be because Mr. Ancelotti tolerated your shortcomings when you were in Real Madrid, so David didn't correct you on this point."

"Now the responsibilities of the so-called midfielder have been divided up by other players in the midfield. If you continue to stick to the midfielder's style of play, it will be difficult to integrate into most modern teams."

Hames, who knew the truth, couldn't calm down for a while. After a while, he said, "Luo, tell me, what should I do?"

Rossi took a sip of coffee and said, "Try to play as a central midfielder, get rid of your gorgeous dribbling, and stay away from the penalty area."
