Chapter 338 Two Lineups

Chapter 338 Two Lineups
After finishing the trip to Asia, the Manchester City team boarded a plane early the next morning and flew to Dubai.

Manchester City have been treated to a high standard in Dubai thanks to owner Mansour.

Not only is the venue excellent, but even the hotel they stay in is an ultra-luxury five-star hotel.The hotel is luxuriously equipped and looks like a palace. The cost of a standard room is 500 pounds per night, while the price of a suite has reached 1000 pounds per night.

Since the 70s, Dubai has been investing heavily in building sports training facilities.

Due to the continuous and large investment of funds, Dubai's training facilities and infrastructure have been maintained at the top of the world.

As a short-term training destination for football clubs, Dubai has a glorious sports tradition and strong strength.

In addition to professional venues, there are also complete facilities such as swimming pools, basketball courts, gyms, massage rooms, and saunas.

There are well-equipped physiotherapy rooms for players' injuries.

There's even a decent sports hospital.

This is one of the reasons why Duncan chose here.

After expert consultation, Sanchez's injury was only a minor injury, and he will be fine after a few days of recuperation.

A false alarm.

They will be here for a 20-day pre-season training, including physical and tactical parts.

"Has Sneijder not agreed to the transfer yet?" Duncan made a remote call to the transfer team over there.

"No, the Real Madrid club has agreed. But the player himself still hasn't said anything. It can be seen that he really doesn't want to leave here." The other party said.

"We can start with his agent. On the one hand, increase the commission, and on the other hand, analyze Sneijder's embarrassing position in Real Madrid. Florentino has given an ultimatum. Is he still planning to play with emotion?" Duncan said.

Either they really have feelings, or they are still stupid and sweet to Real Madrid, and there is another possibility, which is very embarrassing...

"Other than that, none of us bought it?" Jim Cassell asked, sitting in the hotel cafe.

Now the outside world is rumored that Manchester City still has luxury purchases.

And Jim Cassell knows that Duncan still has at least 1.8 million transfer fees in his hands. With so much money in hand, who doesn't want to buy, buy, buy?

"I think the team's current lineup is enough for us to cope with all the competitions. And the team that won the championship last season is all there. Why do we want to buy people?"

Duncan's answer was rational.

Jim Cassell looked at Duncan and suddenly smiled: "Steben, I don't think your rationality is that of a 28-year-old young man."

Duncan smiled: "Because I am so young, if I have not been so rational, I am afraid I will not sit in the position of Manchester City's head coach for too long."

Jim Cassell froze for a moment, then understood what Duncan meant.

It is precisely because Duncan is very young that he will be questioned more, and in order to respond to this doubt, Duncan must pay more than others.

Therefore, it is not that he is young when he is young, but his youth makes him rational.

…………

Sun Jihai has reached an agreement with Sheffield United. After the Asian tour, he will report to the new team.

And Silva also ended his rest and returned to the team.

According to the training plan that Duncan worked out with Jim Cassell and Andy Cole before.

Their training in Dubai will last for three weeks.

During these three weeks, the team's pre-season physical fitness and tactical training will be carried out.

The two training sessions are divided into morning and afternoon sessions, which are carried out alternately.

Because physical fitness and skills and tactics are actually inseparable, and both are closely related.

The team's tactic last season was 442, in which David Silva was a move, nominally a right midfielder or a right winger, but in official games, he would move to the middle to organize the team's offense.

And Silva's personal characteristics are also very suitable for this arrangement. He has good dribbling skills, wide vision, and accurate passing. He can often pass several people in a row and then pass a precise through ball.

The advantages of speed and explosive power allow him to play as a right midfielder with ease, and he abuses the opponent's left back to life and death.

In the UEFA Champions League, Hiddink even let Bosingwa defend him against his feet.

The right back Lichtsteiner corresponding to Silva, the Swiss full back is like a stadium fighter, as long as he is on the field, he will never run tirelessly, which ensures his strong up and down ability.

After Silva cut inside to organize the attack, Lichtsteiner was enough to prop up the entire right corridor.

There is also the azp introduced in the summer. He is a player who will rarely be disappointed as long as he is put on the court.Not only can he play all positions in the back line, but his defense is very stable, and he rarely makes mistakes.

This is the team's first lineup.

And in the case of at least two players with considerable strength in every position, Duncan is considering the second lineup.

In this second lineup, the team plays 4231.
Add a midfielder, remove a striker, move Silva into the middle.

The two defensive midfielders at the back sit in charge, behind a striker in the front field, followed by three attacking midfielders. Their positions are not fixed, and they often cross positions, which increases the difficulty of the opponent's defense.

The previous team lineup was thin, but after Sanchez joined the team, there is more room for tactical changes.And Sanchez's powerful assault ability enriches the creativity of Manchester City's frontcourt.

Of course, Duncan has to train him well to prevent him from becoming a dominant player like Robinho.

Individual performance is allowed, but it must be placed within the overall framework of the team.

Excellent players can always handle the relationship between teamwork and individual performance.

In addition to the overall physical and tactical aspects of the team, each player also has his own special training subjects.

Duncan brought the entire logistics team to Dubai.

Diego Lopez made a mistake in the Champions League last season. Although it is harmless, it cannot be ruled out that sometimes, because of some mistakes at critical moments, the behavior of ruining the entire game, so his special training is the training of reaction ability.

Fellaini, on the other hand, has improved his defensive awareness and ability to get rid of. His speed may be a flaw, but he can block the opponent's attack through reasonable prediction and correct position selection.

"The head can be used not only to hit the header, but also to think." In the tactical analysis room, Duncan pointed to a thick stack of video tapes and smiled at Fellaini.

"Boss, can I not watch the video tape? I would rather go to the gym with Aguero to practice strength." Belgium's lower back wrinkled into a big Belgian bun with a bitter face.

"That's not okay, your strength is already enough. If you train more muscles, your running speed will be reduced." Duncan frowned and said: "As a midfielder, you have to pay more attention to the running positions and selection of these excellent midfielders." Bit, raise your consciousness."

Fellaini worried: "But boss, this video is so boring, I just want to doze off after watching it."

Duncan is also worried, this guy...

Oil and salt do not enter.

Just then, Duncan's phone rang.

When I took it out, it was Manchester City's head of scouting, Bob Newman.

Duncan glanced at Fellaini, turned around and walked out of the tactical analysis room, concealed the door, and then picked up the phone.

Duncan answered the phone with his back to the door, not noticing that Fellaini stood behind the door and put his ear to it.

Although Duncan deliberately lowered his voice, he was still able to be heard by Fellaini.

"Hello? Newman? Oh oh, the transfer is on the horizon? - Must be a world-class midfielder? - That's good, that's good, so that the team has Hag and Toure The third midfielder has been selected, well, goodbye!"

"Want to buy a midfielder? World-class?" Fellaini's face changed, seeing that Duncan had finished making the phone call, he quickly shrank back, returned to his seat and sat down.

Duncan opened the door and walked in, glanced at Fellaini who was sitting there worrying: "Since you don't want to see it, then forget it..."

Duncan picked up the stack of video tapes and was about to leave.

"Hey, boss, wait." Fellaini suddenly jumped up and pressed Duncan's hand: "I thought about it, you are right, I really should watch more videotapes and improve my defensive awareness. These videotapes , let it go, let it go!"

Duncan glanced at Fellaini suspiciously, and Fellaini smiled like an honest Heinze, with a harmless face.

"Okay, watch it in a week, I want to check it!" Duncan patted the video, turned and left.

Seeing Duncan leave, Fellaini breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his seat, put the video tape into the device, and watched it seriously.

And Duncan, who walked out of the room, showed a smile.

The phone rang again, and it was Bob Newman.

Duncan glanced back, went to another room and closed the door, and then connected the phone.

"Newman?"

"Steben, what world-class midfielder did you just talk about? What kind of transfer? I just got on the phone and I haven't spoken yet. Why did you hang up?"

On the phone, Bob Newman was confused.
