Chapter 14 The first warm-up match

Chapter 14 first warm-up match
Before the start of the league, the team arranged a series of warm-up matches for the players to adapt to the rhythm of the new season.

Before each season, each team will arrange some warm-up matches. In addition to commercial purposes, the team can carry out some running-in of the team and adjust the status of the players.

Of course, for FC United, there is of course no commercial need for the purpose of playing the warm-up match.

The opponent in the first game was an away game against Lille, not Lille in France, but Lille in Wales.

This team is a downstream team in the Welsh Football Premier League, and its strength is much stronger than FC United.However, many professional teams do not have very strict requirements for warming up their opponents. It mainly depends on the team's warm-up requirements.

When the players arrived at Gigg Lane Stadium geometry, there was a red bus parked in the parking lot at the gate of the stadium, which was actually the same model as the public bus that shuttles through Manchester.In order to save money, the team rented such a car from the public bus company to carry the team to the away game.

Seeing this car, Li Qingshan had the urge to take out his bus card.

Ma Jinson came in front of the crowd, he counted the number of people, and then compared with the list, he found that all the players who should come had come.He waved his hand and asked everyone to wait for the bus.The away game this time is a bit far away, so they have to start early.

After the players got into the car, the driver started the car and turned off Giger Lane.

As soon as they got in the car, everyone noticed the big bag under the feet of the assistant coach Roy. They had been wearing training clothes before training, and the bag must be filled with competition clothes.

"Now start to send jerseys." Ma Jinson pointed to the bag. FC United has not announced the jersey numbers for the new season, so except for a few absolute main players, the numbers of other players may change.

"The player numbers and your names have been submitted to the Football Association for record. If you want to change your numbers, please report to Roy in advance. Wait for next season." Ma Jinson said.

Then he took out the list and started to read, and every time he read a person, that person went up to get his jersey.

The No. [-] jersey belongs to the captain of the team, Dean Stott.The No. [-] jersey often symbolizes the core or spiritual leader of the team.Dean Stott is the absolute main force of the team, the commander of the midfield, the captain of his team, and his colleagues. His age is not too young in the team, and his qualifications are enough. He can wear this jersey. It is convincing.

Nick Adams got the No. 11 jersey, and he looked very happy because it was his favorite number.Seeing his excited look, Li Qingshan remembered that he once said that his favorite player is Manchester United's No. 11 Ryan Giggs.

Forward Mike Norton got the NO.13 jersey, which was also his jersey number last season.The number thirteen is not an auspicious number in the West, but Mike Norton chose this unlucky number uniquely.His reasoning was: "This number will bring nightmares to the enemy!"

Whether or not this number has brought nightmares to the enemy aside, Mike Norton's fierce face is easy to make the opponent have nightmares......

"Li!" Li Qingshan was observing the reaction of others after getting the jersey, when he suddenly heard Ma Jinsen calling his name.

He stood up and looked at the head coach.

"This is yours." Ma Jinson picked up a jersey and shook it at Li Qingshan.

He stepped forward, eager to know his jersey number.

"9", the white number appeared in front of him and everyone else, and some of his teammates let out a sigh.

This is the number that symbolizes the main center forward!

The initial jersey numbers were allocated according to the formation, and the reference formation was the MW formation.

MW is an ancient formation invented by the British Chapman. It appeared shortly after the offside rule was formulated. Before the offside rule, everyone was on the same team except for the goalkeeper. Most of them were forwards. With the requirements, there is the formation of MW.

Under normal circumstances, in the mw formation, No. 9 is a center forward, No. 7 is a right winger or right inside forward, No. 11 is a left winger or left inside forward, No. 10 and No. 8 are two attacking midfielders, and 4 and 6 are defensive. Type midfielder, 352 three central defenders or single central defender and left and right backs.

With the development of football to the present, the number has long lost its original positional meaning, but some numbers have special meaning because of the blessing of some legendary stars.

For example, number ten, the number that symbolizes the core and the leader.The stars who once wore this number are like stars, knowing that they are still shining in the football sky.The two champions, Pele and Maradona, both wore the No. [-] jersey on the pitch.

The No. [-] jersey has always symbolized the roles of shooter, goal machine and terminator.

Ma Jinsen gave the No. [-] jersey to Li Qingshan, which means that he is going to hand over the main center position to Li Qingshan and let him be the team's terminator.

After the jerseys were distributed, Ma Jinson began to announce another very important thing: "The line began to announce the team's starting lineup for this game."

The hustle and bustle of just getting a new jersey disappeared, and everyone turned their ears to the manager.

Makinson opened his notebook unhurriedly: "Today we play 442. Goalkeeper James Spencer, center back Adam Jones and Kyle Jacobs partner, left back Jerome Wright, right back Defender Lee Neville."

Compared with last season's FC United's defense line, this defense line has not changed much in terms of personnel. This defense line has withstood the test last season, and they did not concede many goals throughout the season. .And the combination of the defense line to maintain a stable lineup is particularly important for a team that is aiming for the championship.Especially the partner of the central defender needs to have a good understanding.

After finishing the reading, the starter on the defensive line is next to the midfielder. Generally speaking, the four midfielders of the 442 formation mainly have two positioning modes, one is a parallel position, and the other is a diamond position.Marginson chose 442 in a parallel position. The two central midfielders in the middle generally have a certain division of labor, one is the main attacker and the other is the main defender.But even being in charge of offense requires a certain strength on the defensive end.Because the midfielder in the parallel position is relatively thin, if there is a central midfielder who does not participate in the defense, the defense in the center will be easily penetrated by the opponent.

"Jack Cottrell, left, Nick Adams, right, Dean Stott, left, David Butch, right"

"Next is the forward, Mike Norton and..." Ma Jinson said and paused, then continued: "Li Qingshan"

There is a goalkeeper, a defender, two midfielders and a striker on the bench.The substitute goalkeeper is Jon Vosnop, an honest man who has been the team's second goalkeeper for several years. He has certain strength but is not enough to be the main goalkeeper.The substitute defender is Cedric Crewe, the two substitute midfielders are Carlos Lorca and Nick Pratt, and the other substitute striker is Matthew Wolfenden.

As for other players who have not entered the big list, they can only cheer for the team in the stands.

After reading the team roster, Makinson sat down.Now is not the time to announce the specific tactics, that will have to wait until he arrives at the venue, it is still early.

Li Qingshan stared out of the window and gradually lost his mind.The bus was already on the highway, heading for Wales, which would take several hours.

His first game in England is about to start in Wales next to England.
