i don't want to be king

Chapter 488 tit for tat
Li Liang didn't mean to change the tactical play arranged by the coaching staff.

The red team, which mainly plays a 433 formation, should be the main lineup to face Iceland, the first opponent in the China Cup.

The white team is mostly players that need further investigation. According to the characteristics of the personnel, the coaching staff arranged a 3412 formation for them, with Li Liang as the "1" behind the two forwards.

But in terms of specific implementation details, that is, the part outside the strict tactical framework, Li Liang still gave everyone his own suggestions.

In the end, everyone dispersed and waited for everyone to take their positions. Li Liang's closing two sentences were very powerful: "Brothers, as long as you can run out of position, my pass will definitely arrive!
Whoever can run out of space in the penalty area, I will definitely send an assist! "

The suggestion that Li Liang told you in a short period of time just now is very simple and easy to implement.

First, Peng Shuai, the defensive midfielder of our side, began to pay attention to restricting the activities of the opponent Cai Huigang, taking advantage of the characteristics of the opponent's slow turn and fewer mid-length passes to press.

Second, the way he asked the other two midfielders, Du Wen and Fang Xiaodong, to switch positions. If they are allowed to restrict Li Liang like the red team did just now, what should they do?
Li Liang only asked them to stand in advance according to the opponent's thinking, and tried not to let the opponent get stuck in his own movement route first.

In short, he hopes that his teammates in the midfield will move around him, and he will also speed up the passing and cutting speed to improve the offensive and defensive rhythm of his side.

Except for himself, the other 10 people, including the goalkeeper, were all skeptical-this guy, isn't he a bit of a braggart?

The white team kicks off, and confrontation practice resumes.

Cai Huigang suddenly found that Peng Shuai of the White team was pressing up, which immediately made him feel very awkward.

Cai Huigang is not the starting point of the red team's offense, but more of a barrier in front of the back line.

According to Li Liang's statement, Peng Shuai is not eager to grab the ball, but always moves within a close range that can affect Cai Huigang's handling of the ball.

Cai Huigang, who is good at defense but has limited ability to control the ball and pass and cut, has obviously been affected.

He can no longer move as freely as before, because he is worried that mistakes will cause danger in front of the defense line, and his pressure has been significantly reduced.

Du Wen and Fang Xiaodong did exactly what Li Liang said, as if they were defending Li Liang for the red team—but there was no fight or confrontation.

Lippi was startled when he saw this change. He took off his glasses and wiped them carefully, then put them back on and watched intently.

Including Cai Huigang, the red team's three-person midfielder's defense against Li Liang was successfully divided.

They all found that the white team's midfield changed from the dull state before, and their combat effectiveness suddenly increased.

They are not like the old and hot Lippi, who can see where the problem is at a glance.

Li Liang's room for movement has increased significantly, and he lost the threat of layers of blocking in the midfield before, and his dribbling began to exert more and more power.

Shen Xiaotian, the goalkeeper of the white team, saw the most clearly from behind, Li Liang played in the midfield, and the whole team was alive!
Now he was convinced by Li Liang, and immediately shouted from behind, directing other teammates to compete around Li Liang!

Lippi had already fully understood that Li Liang commanded his teammates to successfully break the red team's oppressive midfield defense without changing the tactics he set for the white team!

He turned his head and looked around. Madanilo, Pezzotti, and De Rosso all looked surprised.

Gaudino met Lippi's gaze with a big smile and said, "Do you believe what I said now?
He's not the fastest, nor the strongest, but he just has this 'magic'! "

Lippi also laughed: "Claudio, this guy is really not simple!
But this level alone can't change the game! "

As he said that, he personally stepped forward to stop the game, signaled Madanilo to guide the white team, and then called all the members of the red team to teach them face-to-face.

Madanilo first praised the few minutes of the game, thinking it was the best performance of the white team since the training camp!

Hearing this, the members of the Bai team were all shocked - it seems that listening to Li Liang's words is of great benefit!

Madanilo focused on the requirements of the two forwards, asking them to strengthen their running and strive to successfully convert their hard-won advantages into points!

The confrontation resumed, and Li Liang suddenly discovered that the opponent had changed to a three-back position, and a forward retreated, switching to a position similar to 3.

Lippi made a bold response, forming a double midfielder with the central defender and Cai Huigang, strengthening the numerical advantage in the midfield.

Li Liang began to retreat, and it seemed that he had completely changed positions with Peng Shuai. He continued to speed up the speed of the ball, retreating to the center circle and frequently using accurate long passes to create threats.

This time Lippi laughed first, and he asked Madanilo: "Is this your arrangement?"

Madanilo replied blankly: "No, I didn't ask them to play like this, this must be Li's own decision again!"

This change of the white team once again dispelled Lippi's adjustment.

During these two days of confrontation, Li Liang has a better understanding of the characteristics of all his teammates.

The four defenders on the red team's previous defensive line came from different clubs, and the running-in between them has not fully met Lippi's expectations.

Now that they have suddenly changed to the position of 3 central defenders, their response is obviously lagging behind. Although there are no major mistakes, they are obviously not as tacit and synchronized as before.

Under such circumstances, Li Liang took the initiative to retreat to avoid the strangulation of the midfielder. Using his accurate long pass and the unprecedented running enthusiasm of the two forwards after being mobilized by Madanilo, the red team's The backcourt is shaky!

Lippi did not stop the game this time.

Even in a three-round contest, Li Liang has already won or is about to win two of the rounds.

Lippi's staff were also surprised, but Pezzotti and De Rosso still insisted that the red team's chaos was only temporary, and they would regain their advantage after they stabilized their position.

Godino still supports Li Liang, he firmly believes that everything on the field is absolutely not accidental, it is all due to Li Liang.

Under the offensive suppression of the white team, Cai Huigang commanded another defensive midfielder to retreat to protect the defense line.

Li Liang was waiting for this moment. He immediately moved forward and formed a double midfielder configuration with Peng Shuai in an instant. This disrupted the red team's 352 formation that had not been running smoothly.

When Cai Huigang came up again, Li Liang gave the ball to Peng Shuai in time.

Peng Shuai decisively dribbled the ball forward, and passed the ball back to Li Liang before the defenders made a move.

This time Peng Shuai didn't hesitate at all. Cai Huigang, who had never had time to turn around, went straight into the penalty area behind him. As soon as he entered the penalty area, Li Liang's pass was accurately passed against the turf.

Peng Shuai couldn't believe this unexpected through ball, he didn't even need to adjust his pace, he just needed to catch up with the ball and kick it directly!

The line of the ball just passed through the inconspicuous gap between another midfielder and the left defender, and it seemed to be guiding Peng Shuai's running direction!
Peng Shuai himself felt the same way. The only adjustment he needed to make was to change direction slightly during acceleration. When he caught up with the ball, he found that he had completely run out of a big gap!

Facing the attacking goalkeeper of the red team, Peng Shuai, who was in a better position, quickly pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal, 1:1!

After scoring the goal, Peng Shuai was stunned. It wasn't until his teammates cheered up and congratulated him that he realized that the goal had really been scored!
With the simplest back-to-back 2-over-2 cooperation, coupled with a classic straight pass diagonally, Li Liang used the simplest method to find the opponent's weakness, and beautifully broke through the field with wonderful running positions and passes. balance.

The assistant coaches on the sidelines were all dumbfounded. They were all experienced professionals. They knew what was going on at the first sight of this kind of pass.

Only Gaudino clapped and laughed.

He knew from the very beginning that after experiencing yesterday's setbacks, Li Liang, who had in-depth communication with Lippi, would definitely launch a strong counterattack today.

Lippi remained calm, but his heart could no longer calm down.

There were two adjustments, the first time Li Liang and the Bai team set a trap without knowing it. Li Liang, who had already fallen into the trap, struggled several times and finally managed to break free.

The second time, he bet that Li Liang couldn't solve his tactical adjustment immediately, and wanted to act first to regain the advantage again.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang's reaction was faster than the first time, he directly took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and personally sent a key fatal pass, helping the White team to completely turn the situation around.

Lippi, who has read countless people in his career, finally believes that he really underestimated this guy.

He is not just an excellent attacker of the level that is often seen in the five major leagues. This guy does have real materials, and he is indeed a strong player with a high level!

Lippi looked at the stopwatch in his hand and blew his whistle to end the practice early.

The investigation of Li Liang has ended.
