Chapter 117 Shen Xiangfu Visits (26008000)

While the Blue Army was actively preparing for the battle, a skinny figure wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses hurriedly left Heathrow Airport, holding a newly bought newspaper in his hand.

"Arsenal's situation is not going well!" In the taxi, Shen Xiangfu used his broken English and his own understanding to interpret the above content.

“3月24日，客场与切尔西的冠军杯四分之一决赛首回合；3月27日，英超主场对阵曼联；4月4日，与曼联足总杯半决赛；4月7日，主场和切尔西冠军杯四分之一决赛次回合；4月10日，英超主场对阵利物浦；4月12日，英超客场挑战纽卡斯尔。”

"Good guy, these 6 games are about to be won, the Premier League, the FA Cup, the Champions League, and the treble are just around the corner! But if we lose, hehe, I guess it will be empty-handed!"

Who would have thought that Shen Xiangfu, who was originally holding meetings, training in China, dealing with the media on behalf of the Football Association, and apologizing to the fans, would come to London.

"Heh, what am I doing here? A team like Arsenal still needs me to worry about it? Myself and the National Olympics haven't been settled yet!" Shen Xiangfu sighed.He took a look at the address and asked in broken English, "Master, how long is it until Stamford Bridge?"

"20 minutes." Shen Xiangfu only understood this one word.

On the Stamford Bridge field, more and more teammates joined the "door waist practice" between Tang Wu and Lampard.Like the Lightning, a new and effective offense is always welcome.

Glenn Johnson and Duff tried a few midfielders, but they either flew the ball or made too many adjustments.Few are as close to perfection in body, technique and shooting as Lampard.

Glenn Johnson finally gave up what appeared to be an easy finish after Lampard hit five consecutive kicks into the back of the net.

"It's too difficult! Tom passed the ball from such a distance, and it takes a lot of energy just to stop the ball under his feet, let alone turn around and shoot directly!"

Glenn Johnson looked frustrated. He had just tried and missed all five shots.

"TOM, what should I do?" Makelele came to Tang Wu and asked.

The dark French midfielder is Tang Wu's favorite teammate, bar none!He has superb defensive skills and is tireless.After adapting to the Premier League for half a year, his style of play has become tougher.And most importantly, he was the only defensive player on the team who did not hesitate to execute Tang Wu's orders immediately.

With Makelele here, Tang Wu is like having an extra flexible arm that can be stretched, and can kill the opponent's attack at any time outside the threatening shooting range.

"Claude, your main task is to defend." Tang Wu said after thinking for a while, "Why don't you make it more difficult for Frank, uh. Don't use all your strength, just interfere with it a little."

"Okay!" Makelele simply agreed, and walked towards Lampard.

Walking halfway, I don't know what I remembered.The French defender turned his head, showing two rows of white teeth, and smiled at Tang Wu: "TOM, I have a hunch that you are better than Igor."

"Thank you, Claude!" Tang Wu never refused when faced with compliments from foreigners, "I think I will surpass him one day!"

After Makelele joined the "battle", Lampard immediately became unable to catch the ball, let alone shoot.

The reason is simple. In fact, in the game, there will definitely be a defensive player following up to earn the top of the goalkeeper's big kick.No matter how accurate and sudden your pass is, the opponent's defender will get close to your body as soon as you touch the ball, preventing you from turning around easily.

Seeing this, Tang Wu decisively called Glenn Johnson over and asked him to act as a "man pillar", the kind that could only pass and receive the ball and could not move.

In this way, when Lampard struggled with Makelele, he had a "fulcrum".Lampard is 1.8 meters three, and Makelele is only 1.7 meters. In high-altitude balls, Lampard still has a certain advantage.

In addition, Tang Wu asked Makelele not to show all his strength, so when the ball came to him, Makelele only needed to interfere with Lampard from behind.After Lampard ferries the ball to Glenn Johnson, other defensive measures such as pressing or interference are implemented.

With the addition of the two, this "door waist connection" practice is closer to actual combat, and Lampard's shooting rate has dropped from 85 to about 55.

The training with several people occupying the whole court attracted the attention of many resting players. With the addition of goalkeeper Sullivan, Lampard's scoring rate dropped to single digits.

Although the scoring rate is low, the shooting rate within the goal frame is still in the [-]s, which is already terrible!

After all, the practice of Tang Wu and others is not to let the team regard this method as the main attack, but to let Chelsea have an additional offensive method and an offensive firepower.

Just imagine, at a moment when the Blues striker couldn't start the situation, Lampard suddenly threatened the opponent's goal with two or three consecutive kicks in the midfield. What would the opposing team think?What does the opposing goalkeeper think?What will the opposing coach think?
If other people are assigned to look at Lampard's attack point, will the offensive personnel in other positions be liberated?

A football game is to use multiple small tactics to assist a big strategy that runs through the whole game. As long as the coach does not give instructions to change the style of play, the team will persist even if it cannot open the game, whether it is a long pass or a mid-way penetration. go on.

So some people think that the coach's on-the-spot command is useless, and that is a big mistake.

Seeing the "extra training" with more and more people, La Nieli also stood curiously on the sidelines, observing this tactical play.

Long pass transfer and wing raids have always been Chelsea's main attack methods this season. The goalkeeper's long pass is actually a variant of the long pass.

Coaches often ignore this point when designing and considering the long pass style of play. The main reason is that the goalkeeper does not have such a long pass footwork, or the goalkeeper's long pass is difficult to directly pose a threat.

But Tang Wu's "guard" style position solved these problems very well.

The forward position allows Tang Wu's pass to reach the landing point faster, and it will also make it easier for the ball to fly into the opponent's threatening airspace.In addition, the Blues' defense often "lures the enemy to go deep", so when Tang Wu passes the ball, there will often be a "vacuum zone" in a certain place in the opponent's midfield.

Tang Wu's passing principle is "pass the air and not pass the person", so when the ball lands in an open space in the front court and one's own offensive team grabs the ball at the first time, it will immediately pose a direct threat to the opponent's goal.

This is why La Nieli knew their "random practice" and did not stop it.

"Richards, what do you think?"

"Very good!" Richards said affirmatively, "TOM's position and long pass are connected with Frank's long shot, which may have a miraculous effect in the game!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that kid to come up with such a tactic, it's really hard for him!" La Nieli smiled wryly.

In the second half of the season, the Blues' weak defense and strong offense became more and more obvious. Even Abramovich has already started planning how to bring fresh blood to Chelsea in the summer.Ronaldo, Figo or even Beckham, as long as the parties nod and agree, Abramovich doesn't care how much it costs.

"If only we had discovered this tactic a few months ago, we wouldn't be so passive!" Richards sighed.

months ago?Tang Wu has not started yet, and Lampard has not confirmed the core position of the midfielder. Richards' idea is basically a dream.

"Eh? Who is that person?" La Nieli frowned suddenly, and saw Shen Xiangfu who was wearing a peaked cap and glasses on the sidelines and was recording in a notebook. "Stamford Bridge doesn't have this number of staff, right? Go and see if it's a spy sent by Arsenal!"

The match against the Gunners is about to begin, and Stamford Bridge is basically in a closed state, refusing all interviews with reporters.

Not long after, Richards brought Shen Xiangfu to Ranieri's side: "Coach, this man said he came from China, and he came to find TOM."

"From China?" La Nieli frowned.

As Tang Wu's fame soared, more and more Chinese fans came to Stamford Bridge.In addition, the boss is a Russian, so the staff at Stamford Bridge are quite friendly to these Chinese visitors.

"Hello, coach La Nieli." Shen Xiangfu stretched out his hand, "I am Shen Xiangfu, the coach of the Chinese Olympic team. This time I am here to find Tang Wu."

"The coach of the Chinese Olympic Games?" La Nieli frowned again, but out of politeness, he reached out and held Shen Xiangfu together.
