Chapter 41 Returning Again
October 10.The ninth round of the Premier League.Southampton challenged Everton away.Chen Zhun and Alice watched the game for the first time on the hospital bed.Chen Zhun's passionate commentary to Alice before the start of the game was completely changed and fragmented by Everton's quicksilver offensive.Throughout the game, Everton was out of breath against Southampton. Before the game, Chen Zhun and Reid reported that the team's usual high-position pressing and defensive counterattack tactical system was defeated by Everton's more powerful midfielder. Perfectly broken.Gravesen, the core midfielder of Everton, assisted striker Osman with two over-the-top long passes. In the end, Everton easily won the dark horse Southampton 16-2 and continued to rank third in the standings. Location.

Alice saw that Chen Zhun's face was very ugly, hugged Chen Zhun's neck, and comforted him softly: "Don't be discouraged, David, it's just an ordinary failure, and there are still many games to come."

Chen Zhun touched Alice's smooth little hand and nodded.The depression in my heart just now was comforted by Alice's words.

"Then I'm going to work. Just stay by yourself and don't miss me too much." Alice said with a smile, turned and left.

Chen Zhun patted Alice's buttocks as she turned and left, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, go to work." '

Alice said angrily, "Irreverent!"

The lively ward returned to calm. Only in this environment can Chen Zhun calm down and review the reasons for the loss of the game.

Throughout the game, Southampton fell behind in all statistics. Moyes' team made good use of the strength of their midfield to suppress Southampton's midfield. Unable to organize offense with the ball normally.The result of this is that Southampton's subsequent offense is completely launched by the long pass of the central defender. The result is that the ball has been intercepted by Everton before the Southampton striker is within the control range.Then Everton used Southampton's best counterattack to hit the ball behind.It is the so-called way to treat others with their own bodies.

After watching the game, Chen Zhun really realized the feeling of being seen through. He saw more intuitively the problems Southampton's defense is facing through the TV broadcast.The high-position pressing tactics are indeed not suitable for the current Southampton team. The loss of Svensson has made the midfielder uncreative. The combination of Delap and McCann is weak in offense and decent in defense, but they cannot support Southampton. Coupled with the old defense line, the two tall central defenders who are not flexible in turning can easily be hit behind the ball.

There have been nine rounds of matches in the Premier League. Southampton's tactics have been thoroughly studied by all the head coaches, but Chen Zhun lacks a lot in this aspect. He is also watching the next opponent's game video every day, looking for them However, he does not have keen eyes to see some life gates hidden in the dark. This is what Chen Zhun lacks. Chen Zhun himself is not a professional head coach at all. It's just a time-traveling man who has 12 years of memories, and he is slowly eating up these memories.

Chen Zhun is aware of his shortcomings, but there is nothing he can do now. The league is in full swing, and rashly making large-scale formation adjustments will destroy the morale of the entire team.Discussing things like tactics can only be done by Chen Zhun after the season is over.The remedy now is to check for omissions and make up for the gaps on the basis of the original tactics, so as to maximize the advantages and benefits of this tactical system.

Although Chen Zhun has tried different tactics in the past two months, from the 442 high-position pressing tactics at the beginning of the season, the 352 tactics with Chelsea, and the 442 full-back offensive tactics, the most used by Chen Zhun is Ranieri. Leicester City's 442 tactical system based on high-position pressing and defensive counterattack.But at that time, Chen Zhun didn't consider such a cruel situation, which made his current self suffer.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhun had to leave the pleasant hospital and return to the training base.He knows the team needs him right now.

At this time, Alice was at work, so Chen Zhun was the only one in the ward.After Chen Zhun sent Alice a text message, he returned to the Staplewood training base.

"I'm going to the training base, don't be too tired from work, I miss you."

"You too, come on, Mr. Coach in my heart."

Looking at this heart-warming text message, Chen Zhun thought of a sentence, what more can a husband ask for if he has a wife like this.

Chen Zhun had just received another text message after expressing his emotions. After reading this text message, he came to a conclusion that all women in the world are the same.

"Stop talking to other women!! There is no room for sand in my eyes!!"

After Chen Zhun returned to the training base, he found that the team members had disbanded.So he wrote this sentence on the tactical board.

Losers will forget, winners will remember.

This is a very well-known saying that Chen Zhun summed up by himself. He doesn't know if anyone has said this sentence, but at least he is the first to say it.Chen Zhun wrote this sentence on the tactical board to motivate the players who have just experienced failure. They worked hard on the field but still failed. What can Chen Zhun blame them for? It is better to encourage them to continue the next game.

Starting next weekend, Southampton will usher in another tight schedule of six days and three games. Fortunately, apart from the last game being an away game against Premier League defending champions Arsenal, the other two opponents are weak teams, one is Birmingham, which ranks low in the league, and the other is League Cup rivals Colches United.

The next day, the players came to the training base early in the morning. As soon as they walked into the locker room, they saw a striking sentence written on the tactical board, "The loser will eventually forget, and the winner will always remember." It's head coach David Winston back.The depressed mood of yesterday's fiasco has also been relieved.

At this moment, Chen Zhun came out of the room with the ball in his arms. He saw the team members and smiled happily: "Guys, do you miss me?"

The team members looked at Chen Zhun, and immediately surrounded him, asking how Chen Zhun was injured. They immediately felt that the backbone of their hearts had returned.

Chen Zhun suddenly said: "Yes! I remembered when I saw you!! Who kicked the clearance that day!!! Who is it!!!" Chen Zhun deliberately raised his voice at the end, showing that he was very angry.

The team members pointed to Vardy hiding behind him in unison.

Chen Zhun walked towards Vardy, pretending to be angry and said: "Okay, Jamie, I usually see that you don't shoot very well, but kicking the head is a hundred hits. I will punish you for running ten laps after training."

The young Vardy obviously didn't see Chen Zhun's true face, and hurriedly said: "Boss, are you okay. I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it!"

Chen Zhun continued to pretend to be majestic and said: "It's fine now, but it will depend on your performance in training later."

Vardy said vowedly: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do my best."
