Greenery on the back

Chapter 523 Stable Gallic Chicken
The coach of the French U20 is the former international footballer Sagnol.

Now 54, Sagnol was a regular defender for France and Bayern Munich.

After retiring, he also worked as a scout and assistant coach at Bayern, and even served as the interim coach of this giant club.

Now that Sagnol is in charge of the U20 coach, the French Football Association also values ​​​​his ability to train new players.

Seeing someone on the coaching bench of the Huaguo team looking at him, Sagnol immediately turned his gaze away.

The person opposite is Zheng Zhi.

Sagnol was very impressed with this Chinese man. In 2006, the French team had a warm-up match with the Hua Guo team before the World Cup, and Zheng Zhi was on the field at that time.

This is the guy who broke the leg of his teammate Gibriel Cisse and prevented him from participating in the World Cup...

In fact, it was just a normal foul action, not mixed with malice, but Sagnol still felt shocked when he saw Zheng Zhi now.

If it was not Trezeguet but Cisse who took the penalty kick in the penalty shootout between the French team and Italy in the final, then he might be able to win the Hercules Cup.

However, Sagnol felt a little proud because he came prepared today.

He believes that his tactics will allow the Hua Guo team to taste the feeling of passing the championship.

At the beginning of the game, the French team launched a fierce attack on the Huaguo team's backcourt.

Although their opening position seemed relatively conservative, in the actual offense, they still adopted a 433 formation, trying to use the three forwards to grab the start.

Along the way, after consecutive victories against strong teams such as England, the Netherlands, Italy and Brazil, the Hua Guo team led by Yue Feng also attracted everyone's attention.

Sagnol also saw that the opponent's defensive and counterattack tactics were quite good, and the strength of the defense should not be underestimated.

Especially with Yue Feng, the God of Dinghai, it is not easy to break through the gate of the Hua Guo team.

Therefore, when Sagnol set up the formation, he also considered allowing the two wingers to retreat appropriately during the defense process, thereby strengthening the midfield defense and avoiding being counterattacked by the opponent.

But at the same time, Sagnol also discovered the weakness of the lack of experience of most players in the Huaguo team.

The opponent is often unable to quickly establish a defense system after the opening, and it takes more than ten minutes to gradually stabilize the defense line.

So his tactic today is to start with a fierce attack, and it is best to take advantage of the weakness of the Hua Guo team to score a goal first.

Afterwards, the French team changed back to the initial formation to defend, preventing Yue Feng or Chu Long from attacking from the midfield.

Therefore, Sagnol directed Osuman and other three forwards to quickly insert into the hinterland of the Huaguo team, waiting for the midfielder to pass the ball, so as to launch a fast break.

On the 11th, Osuman immediately started running without the ball, trying to tear apart the still unstable Huaguo defense.

However, Osuman soon noticed that a tall figure flashed beside him immediately.

This person not only kept a certain distance from him, but also blocked the passing route between him and his teammates just right.

Osuman was startled, and raised his eyes to look at the people beside him: "So this is Yue, the number one star of the Huaguo team. Looking at his movements and positioning, he is indeed very capable of defending."

Ausuman didn't dare to be careless, and walked carefully beside Yue Feng.Without full confidence, he didn't dare to ask his teammates for the ball easily.

France's No. 11 winger is quite calm-minded. He didn't underestimate Yue Feng, who is not as famous as himself, but attached great importance to it, constantly thinking about how to defeat his opponent.

And this is what makes him scary.

However, Osuman did not find an offensive opportunity, but it does not mean that the French team's attack has weakened.

I saw that No. 10 core Yazd continued to control the ball, frequently testing the opponent's center and right, looking for opportunities.

In the Huaguo team, No. 7 Chu Long, who is in charge of dealing with Yazd, is the central midfielder.

Chu Long is well aware of Yazd's role as the engine in the French team. When he sees the opponent holding the ball, he rushes forward, trying to rely on his speed to surprise the opponent and grab the ball.

Now his speed has reached the S+ level, and he stands out from the crowd among his peers.

But Yazd seemed to have guessed Chulong's movement in advance, and then quickly pulled the ball behind him, turned around again, and avoided the opponent's press from the other side.

The Bordeaux midfielder dances lightly and gracefully, as if waltzing across the pitch.

Chu Long made an empty shot, but he immediately turned around and initiated a second steal.

But Yazd didn't wait for the opponent to grab it. He quickly passed the ball through and passed the ball to the winger teammate on the other side.

"Beautiful!" French coach Sagnol couldn't help applauding this disciple.

The Huaguo team is also difficult to deal with Yue and Chu. Now they avoid Yue Feng and shake off Chulong. Next, they will face Huaguo's weak defense. This attack will definitely work!
But what happened next surprised Sagnol.

I saw that the somewhat chaotic formation of the defenders of the Huaguo team suddenly became orderly.

Jiang Yuxuan, who was defending on the right, was also in place in time, blocking the side of the French winger.

Seeing that there was no suitable opportunity, the winger immediately passed the ball to the standing center.

But as soon as the ball fell to the center forward, the two central defenders of the Huaguo team, Yang Zichen and Li Jie, rushed over.

Although the French center has a strong ability to protect the ball, he is still not an opponent of the two defenders.Under Li Jie's tenacious fight, he still handed over the ball.

Seeing this, Sagnol murmured in his heart.

Judging from the performance of the Huaguo team in the first few games, didn't their defenders start slowly?How could he resist his attack so quickly?
In fact, this is because Sagnol underestimated the Hua Guo team too much.Since he could see this weakness, wouldn't the Hua Guo team themselves not be able to see it?
Zheng Zhi and Fatty Dong have long conducted special training to address this shortcoming.

But now Yue Feng has also returned to the back line. With him in command, the Hua Guo team's defense has already advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, leaving no loopholes for the opponent to exploit.

The French team's onslaught at the beginning had no effect, but they then swung their second axe - high pressure.

After the possession of the ball was taken away by the Hua Guo team, the French team used a group of black and tough players, as well as a few players who could not run to death in the frontcourt, to frequently press the opponent.

Even their two full-backs took the opportunity to step in, making full use of the width of the field, greatly extending their own formation, and also providing a frontcourt advantage for high-position oppression tactics.

At the same time, Yazd frequently changed positions with the center forward and left winger, trying to disrupt the man-to-man deployment of Chu Long and others.

This time, the Huaguo team was in a bit of a mess. Jiang Yuxuan almost let the opponent seize the opportunity to complete the goal.

Seeing this, Yue Feng hurriedly ordered his teammates to rearm their defenses in order to deal with the French team's high-position pressing tactics.

To break the oppression, one is to pass the ball directly to the teammates in the frontcourt by long passes, and the other is to rely on precise pass control in the midfield and backcourt.

Long passes are impossible. The French team's two defensive midfielders Paul and Joaquin are both very strong in steals, and they can't make it through.

But the transfer control doesn't seem to work either.
