Chapter 8 The fat man who can't play football

Fatty mainly practiced the diamond-shaped 442 formation in the training camp, which is Fatty's favorite formation in FM games, and it helps Fatty kill all directions in the game.

Fatty kept watching the chemistry between the players during training.

At present, it seems that Pierce and the new Scottish guy Cooper have a good partner in the central defender position, but the fat man feels that Cooper's performance on the field is not stable enough.

Based on the experience of later FMers, the fat man wants to transform the right-back Berardi into a central defender. Judging from the current training effect, it is not very good.After all, Berardi still needs to slowly find the feeling of playing a central defender in constant training and competitions.

Fatty tested Coady at the back of the midfield. At present, it seems that his frontal interception ability is sufficient, but he still lacks the ability to quickly play the ball, which will make the team's offensive and defensive transitions not smooth enough.

The double midfield position is reserved for his direct twin stars Mowat and Cook. The two young people who seem to be the most immature are the most stable part of the team.

In order to fully develop Ali's offensive potential, Fatty constantly adjusts Ali's position during training, but all tactical designs need actual combat to test the effect.

The forward position gave the fat man a headache, the old one was too old, and the young one was too tender.Fatty decided to urge the director to complete Belotti's contract as soon as possible.

Leeds United's daily training is mainly for physical reserves, and there are very few tactical drills. After all, although the fat man occupies Steve's mind.But Fatty doesn't know exactly how to carry out tactical training.

The fat brother didn't dare to ask the people around him for fear of being seen as strange, so he could only keep observing the practices of other coaches during training.

Fortunately, Fat Brother is the head coach, so he doesn't have to do it himself.

The time soon came to July 2014, 7, and Belotti's deal still had not been finalized.Fatty only came to the Bramall Lane Stadium with the existing personnel to meet the challenge of Sheffield United.

Sheffield United carefully arranged a formation of 4411 at their home court. After all, Sheffield United is not a shocking dark horse in the Premier League.

Sheffield United's lineup is: goalkeeper Howard (Mark Howard), right back Alcock (Craig Alcock), center back Harrison McGahey (Andy Butler), left back Harris (Bob Harris).

The midfielders are lined up, from right to left are Jamal Campbell-Ryce, Chris Basham, Connor Dimaio, Jamie Murphy, the front midfielder position Kugel (Stefan Scougall), forward Higdon (Michael Higdon).

Fatty finally ushered in the opportunity to test his tactics in actual combat. The starting lineup was: goalkeeper Gorini, right back Byram, center back Pierce partner Cooper, left back Taylor, midfielder Coady, midfielder Mowat, Lewis, attacking midfielder Ali, double forwards Morrison and Sinclair.

Originally, no one would pay attention to such a game.But by mistake, Sky Sports adjusted the new broadcast method and decided to use this warm-up match as an experiment.

Carragher, who has just served as a Sky Sports commentator for a year, because Leeds United bought Liverpool's Coady, loaned the Red Army's hopeful stars Sinclair and Yesil, and volunteered to go to Bramall Lane Stadium as a live commentator.

So the audience heard Carragher's "fine" commentary voice in the Sky Sports broadcast. "Dear viewers, what I am bringing to you now is a warm-up match between Sheffield United and Leeds United at home, and now the match has officially begun."

At the beginning of the game, Sheffield United launched a fierce attack. Campbell dribbled the ball at high speed directly across the midfield, and reached the ribs of Leeds United's defense.Fatty was so angry that he wanted to give Cody a kick in the ass, his midfield defense was like a road in the morning. tmd, whatever you want.

Taylor blocked Campbell's further advance with a foul, and the referee touched his shirt pocket to warn him.

Sheffield United took a free kick from the front court into the penalty area, and the ball was steadily cleared by Leeds captain Pierce.

In the first 15 minutes, Fatty's ass had no chance to touch the bench, and the entire team's offense was like headless chickens.Obviously, teammates don't have enough trust in the new Ali, and Ali's chances of receiving the ball in the frontcourt are few and far between.

When Cody blocked Basham's mid-way advance with a foul again, the fat man became angry and said angrily: "You play like pussies, are you frightened soft? You dare not control the ball, football is Is it a bomb?"

Since Lewis Cook's position was closest to the coach's bench, Cook felt that the saliva from the fat man was about to splash on his face.Little Cook skillfully moved laterally, and calmly distanced himself from the fat man.

Sheffield United once again took the ball from the wing, and forward Higdon still grabbed the spot in the defense of Pierce and Cooper, with a beautiful head shake.Fortunately, the position of the shot was too straight and was directly confiscated by Gorini.

The poor performance of the central defender made the fat man even more angry, and the fat man aimed at the water bottle on the sidelines and wanted to volley vigorously.

But the fat brother obviously overestimated his technical ability, so he just emptied it.

Although the fat man occupies Steve's body, his football awareness is indeed still at the level of an IT man, and his limbs and brain are not in harmony.

What's more unfortunate is that because the fat man was too fat, he couldn't grasp his balance after flying into the air, so he fell on all fours.

Fatty's wonderful performance this time successfully attracted Carragher's attention, "Oh, let's see what happened on the sidelines, the Leeds coach fell down on the sidelines. Let's see what just happened through replays, my God, The manager fell because he missed a water bottle."

"Let's get to know him. Steve, the new Leeds coach who has just been appointed, has been a Leeds youth player on his resume. But this volley just now is too substandard. Let's turn our attention back to On the field, Sheffield United attacked again, passing the ball to the front of the penalty area. Skogel shot from long distance, oh, just wide of the goal."

"It's hard to imagine that Sheffield United is just a League One team. In this game, they are rubbing Leeds from the Championship on the ground."

After the fat man fell, his mind went blank.I looked around wretchedly, but fortunately, most people's attention was on the court, and no one saw this embarrassing scene.

This fall also made Fatty calm down.Fatty understands that the team has introduced too many new players at once. Now six positions on the field are all newcomers, including Cook, who has just entered the first team. Trust and tacit understanding have not been established between the players.

But the team's offensive performance is too miserable.

The fat man looked at Redfern at the end of the coaching bench. He was in charge of the team's daily offensive training.The fat man recalled his notebook which was empty of a single letter, and vaguely felt that he should do something.

The fat man called Ye Weitz, and the partner immediately walked to the side of the fat man. "Man, what do you think of the current situation."

"Boss, the players are playing too tight, they are afraid to take the ball, and they will kick forward when they touch the ball. I have to suspect that we usually train long passes and lobs."

"Is there any way?"

"The single defensive midfielder's position is still too weak to protect the defense, and the players are not used to the diamond-shaped 442 position. Boss, I have to say that we need to adjust the formation during the intermission."

The fat man nodded after hearing this, and then put his hand on his chin to think. After the Premier League signed a big contract broadcast agreement, all teams have invited top coaches, and British players are slowly adapting to various tactics.However, the British Championship teams have not yet enjoyed the dividends of these advanced tactics. From the youth training coaches to the first-line coaches, they still adhere to the British tradition. As a result, the players coming out of the production line have not yet adapted to the technical and tactical capabilities of various formations.

It seemed that his beloved rhombus 442 could not be sacrificed in reality. When the fat man was secretly sad, he suddenly felt a ball flying towards him.

Looking back, it was a clear kick from Leeds flying out of the penalty area. Fortunately, the clear kick was high and floating.

The fat man was going to unload the ball in the air to get back to the field, but unfortunately the fat man forgot his identity again, this time he stopped the ball and stepped on the ball directly, and fell like a dog eating shit.

It was uncomfortable for Ye Weici to be beside him, after all, he was his old partner for more than ten years.Ye Weitz felt that he should be a professional, but he still couldn't hold back and laughed hard.

Fatty's wonderful play off the field once again caught Carragher's attention.This time Carragher perfectly demonstrated his commentary style, frank and sincere, humorous and spicy. He said affectionately: "Oh, Steve's performance of stopping the ball this time is like a fat man who can't play football." The fat man didn't know how to stand up, he was so ashamed.

The fat brother could only get up with a curve that he thought was beautiful, and then he said silently in his heart: no one sees me, no one sees me.

The first half ended 0-0 as Sheffield United's players fired the ball into the sky again.With a dark face, the fat man turned around and walked back to the locker room.

Perhaps the highlight of Leeds United in the first half was Fatty's performance off the field.
