I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 9 442 and 433
Running to the Cobham base, chatting with the coaches of the echelon on the training ground, Yunqiao ran back to the apartment again, and could not sit in the office during the break.

Make a cup of Tieguanyin, sit on the living room and open a notebook.

The Premier League schedule is the densest among the five major European leagues, especially around Christmas. During that time, it is normal for Premier League teams to play twice a week, and it is not surprising that they will even play three times a week, and there is no winter break.At that time every year, some teams will always fall behind. After the winter break, it is almost possible to distinguish which teams can compete for the top four.

The No. 23 team finished the seventh round of the Premier League. On the 7th, the third round of the League Cup is here. Chelsea will be a guest at Hull City. This is a club with a long history.After playing the League Cup, the 27th is the 29th round of the Premier League. Chelsea will face Fulham at home.

In terms of the strength of the team, it is very easy to grasp the strength of these two teams. The strength of these two teams is not strong. The only thing that needs to be careful is Chelsea's own physical condition and the team's ability to attack. But imagining that they must have set up a bus in front of the goal, it depends on whether Chelsea can score the first goal.

Turned to the team's roster. Fortunately, there are no injuries at the beginning of the season. There is still room for rotation. It's just that facing two weaker teams, Yunqiao wants to practice tactics and see if he can play With the existing players, play a few more routines so that it is not easy to be targeted by the opponent.

现在足坛上用得比较多的就是433阵型、4231阵型、还有442阵型、351阵型等等，就英超来说，433和442是用得比较多的阵型。

The 442 formation is one of the oldest formations, and it is also the representative formation of England. This formation is easier for players to understand and implement. This is what Yunqiao thinks about facing Manchester United. For other formations, between players A tacit understanding has not been formed yet, but the 442 formation is relatively simple and a lot rougher.

This formation must have two full-time forwards at the top, and the adaptability of the forwards is very high, because they often have to face various situations with the least support in the midfield. The wide players and the two full-backs have to send a large number of crosses for the penalty area, which is what the Premier League often calls long passes.

But this 442 formation is too easy to predict, and the style is rigid. It has been circulated in football for many years, and there are many ways to counter him. Sometimes it is difficult for the two midfielders to control the ball, and most of the ball is at the opponent's feet.

As far as the current Chelsea players are concerned, there is absolutely no problem with Drogba as a striker. He will occupy a striker. Joe Cole and Malouda have similar characteristics, good skills, fast speed, and strong creativity. Let the two of them switch kicks.Ballack and Lampard in the midfield are good at holding the ball, passing short passes and shooting long shots. It's just that Chelsea doesn't have a good passer for long passes, and there isn't a good player on the wing who can take the ball and break through. Originally, last season Robben was very strong in breakthroughs, but his thin body could hardly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and he was injured at every turn. This season he went directly to Real Madrid.Yunqiao knew that Robben did not become a world-class winger until he went to Bayern and met his good friend Scar Ribery.

Thinking of Ribery, Yunqiao felt that his physical fitness should be able to adapt to the Premier League, but he just arrived at Bayern this season, so it is difficult to buy. Write down Ribery's name and ask Bayern at that time.

Another commonly used formation is 433. This formation is the most suitable for Chelsea now.Two forwards in the front position, three midfielders, one defensive midfielder and two all-round midfielders can control the ball very well, and the defenders of their own side have the opportunity to attack.But this formation requires a very good tacit understanding. Players must move quickly and play the ball. This requires sufficient training and more actual combat. This is a problem for Chelsea now.

In the 433 formation, the center must be able to hold the ball. This is one of the reasons why Yunqiao let Drogba replace Sheva. With Drogba's current physical fitness, he is at the giant level among the Premier League forwards.

You also need a truly world-class defensive midfielder. Makelele in the team is the representative of this kind of midfielder, but he is 34 years old. You can no longer expect him to play for a long time in a game. He can't follow Ronaldo for a long time once he faces Ronaldo.It's just that there are too few such midfielders now. There are Mascherano and Busquez who Yunqiao can name, but one is in Liverpool and the other is still studying at La Masia Film and Television Academy. I think that these two people can be bought under the eyes of Benitez and Guardiola. Essien and Mikel are always a bit behind, and Essien is still a diehard Mourinho. Yunqiao remembers that he still defected later. Mourinho.

As a person who only crossed in 2019, how could he forget another Makelele, Kanter.Yunqiao can never forget the famous saying of Zhan Jun, a famous Premier League talker, "There is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome, but there is Kanter who still can't." It's just that Kanter is still very young now, forget it, write it down and let him know. Scouts go find it.

Yunqiao wrote down an approximate main lineup on paper, with Drogba and Malouda as forwards, Lampard and Ballack as midfielders in the middle, Joe Cole in the front, Makelele in the back, and Ah in the back. Shley Cole, Terry, Carvalho, and Ferreira, the goalkeeper doesn't have to think about it, the main position can only be Cech.

Looking at this formation diagram, it's not like 433, but more like 41212, "What the hell?"Look up some football coaching books, now you have to study in advance, otherwise you can't fool others.Even liars have to keep up with the times.

When they came to Cobham Center the next day, Yunqiao took out the formation map that he had been thinking about for a long time yesterday, and discussed with several assistant coaches. Brito and the others felt that the tactics were feasible, and it depended on the training of the players, so they started Arrange a conference room to talk about the tactics of this 433 formation with all the players, and then start to arrange targeted training.

And Yunqiao asked Britto to pull aside, "Should we waste the energy of the players in competitions like the League Cup this season, or should we just give up?"

This is also normal. Many strong teams in the Premier League will give up the League Cup or the FA Cup. Otherwise, the team will be dragged down by the devil's schedule in December. Few teams can survive December intact. The odds are too great.

"No, I told Sheva before that we have to fight for every championship this season." Yunqiao also had a snack, but he had to finish the pie he drew by himself. Let’s see if we can play something new, it’s best to practice a few sets of tactics before December, and if some players are really injured, we can just change tactics.”

"It's not that we still have players who haven't played much. We can give them more opportunities, especially young people, such as Sinclair and Phillips. We don't let them play, so that they want to leave. I don’t know if there is any money to buy people, if the players want to leave, we can’t stop them, right?” Yunqiao also considered the mid-season, if Abramovich refuses to give money, they have to rely on them now people.

"Then you can figure it out," Brito said in a low voice, raising his head. "I read the news today, saying that Abramovich has left England and returned to Russia."

"He can go wherever he wants, we can control wherever he wants," Yunqiao didn't want to mention Abu's affairs.

"No, he has left the UK now, which means that you have secured the position of head coach." Brito hurriedly said, why does it feel like Yunqiao doesn't care much.

"Don't worry, I'm still very confident that I can make it to the end of the season," Yunqiao patted him on the shoulder and comforted Brito in turn.

"Okay! Just know what you have in mind."
