Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 33 Three Tactic Boards

During the entire lunch break, the U15 players of Orient Lisbon were talking about it. Most people tended to think that Coach Beasley was joking with everyone, but Yang knew in his heart that this matter was absolutely true. It is also probably due to Davlar.

Sure enough, before the training session started in the afternoon, Beasley confirmed this, and they really had to face Sporting Lisbon.Under the pressure, the players developed a great fear of difficulties. It is normal for them to be a little overwhelmed as they rarely played against the youth training of the Portuguese second team.

Beasley understands the predicament he and the echelon players are facing, so he doesn't want to waste any time. The game is the day after tomorrow, and he doesn't have much free time to complain about himself. He will start training for the game from this afternoon. Get ready for some setups for Sporting Lisbon.

All the players sat around the whiteboard, and Beasley began to explain his tactical arrangements.

"Sporting Lisbon is playing U12. They should generally be two to three years younger than you guys. Don't be overjoyed. Even so, we have nothing to gain. Remember the disastrous defeat against Moscaverd half a year ago!"

"The only advantage we have this time is the body. I hope you can make the most of this, whether it is defense or offense. I have considered the formation, because the mature central defender combination in the team is only Cox and Diallo. First, we played 5-3-2 in the opening stage. As a sweeper, Gion, you are responsible for sweeping behind the central defenders and helping them share the pressure."

"Isaac and Hervey are the left and right backs, Morris and Barrera are the left and right midfielders, Young is in the midfield, Masca is forward, Chaga is the second striker, and Arauyo is the goalkeeper. If there are no accidents, this is The starting lineup for the game."

Beasley was still scribbling on the tactical board. Gilberto, who was sitting below, couldn't hold back anymore. After raising his hand to signal, he immediately stood up and said:
"Coach Beasley, I have a problem... Young has only been in the team for more than three months, and he is not familiar with everyone, let alone he is only ten years old. I have always been the main midfielder for U15, why not let me Appearance?"

Beasley nodded and motioned him to sit down, and then said seriously: "How many times have I said, don't question the coach's arrangement at will! There are two considerations for not letting you start. First, Young came from Sporting Lisbon. I am familiar with the opponent's game style. Secondly, I want to show a certain degree of aggressiveness at the beginning. If there is a situation where the midfielder cannot hold the ball, the few of you will be replaced to strengthen the defense. Do you understand?"

Gilberto shrank back resentfully. Although he was very dissatisfied, he didn't dare to contradict Beasley anymore.

"Players in the backcourt must be decisive when playing the ball. When encountering an uphill grab, try to leave it to the side to handle it. If not, I will clear the siege with a big foot. I don't have high requirements for the midfielder. Stability is the most important thing. Yang's basic skills are very good. If you can't open the situation, let him go suddenly.

The two full-backs should support the striker. Remember that our advantage is our body and height on the field. If we can solve it with a header, we should not always walk on the ground to prevent being counterattacked. "

"In the second case, if we can't withstand the attack of Sporting Lisbon, we will remove a striker and replace it with a midfielder. Those who are not in the starting list should not be discouraged. If you are in good condition, you can squeeze them out, and this There is no limit on the number of substitutions in this friendly match, everyone work hard. Go to the training ground immediately, we must hurry up!"

Beasley tapped the whiteboard and yelled at the players to cheer them up as he divided the players into two teams.

……

……

At the Alcochete base, Paul Mensah called Cesar to his office, and he also had some things to ask.

"Russo, this friendly match was arranged by director Luigi. I don't need to say more about its importance. You should understand. I only have one request. I will never allow you to lose to that Lisbon Orient. This is about the club and the Semodo family If you lose face, the entire coaching staff of the youth training team will not be able to take it easy." Mensa said with a serious face.

"Understood, I just want the echelon to save face for that little fellow Dufflar. But this matter, do you really not need to greet the higher-ups? After all, the media will be involved, shouldn't you be more careful?" Cesar was not worried. The team will lose, but he has little faith in the media, even if it is Sporting Lisbon's own mouthpiece.

Mensa shook his head and said: "You don't have to think about it, as long as you win, this matter is of great benefit to us. If it weren't for me, I would still take care of the U19 league, maybe I would lead the team to the game myself, so you have to take care of the U[-] league. It’s up to him to keep the scene up and what Davlar does, just let him stay on the court. It’s up to you to play well and play well…”

Cesar responded yes, and left the office to go to the U12 echelon. After calling Davlar and others to the locker room, he also began to arrange the tactical arrangements for the game.

"The day after tomorrow we will play a friendly match with the U15 team of Orient Lisbon..."

Hearing this, Davral bumped into Ricardo beside him, and gave him a smug wink, indicating that what he just said was true.

"Although the opponent is much worse than our league level, we should not underestimate the enemy. No matter how weak the opponent is, he is still an opponent. The formation is the most familiar 4-4-2. The goalkeepers are Azevedo, Bristol and Rafael. Le central defender, Dantas and Lemon are left and right wingers, Ricardo and Tamaro are wingers, Zobin and Costa are midfielders, Davral is center, Tavares is the shadow striker, Support him on the flank."

Seeing that there were no objections below, Cesar drew a few arrows and marked the direction of attack:
"Sporting Lisbon's style has always been to attack. We can't shame the club, so during the game, both sides have to fly for me. Not only the wingers, but also the defenders have space to press the opponent back. Go to half-court and show the energy you had in training."

"Zobin and Costa, you have to connect the two ends of the offense and defense well, and strangle the opponent's possible counterattack at the starting point. At that time, I hope to see the central defender standing on the midfield line with peace of mind..."

Davral was very interested, and while listening to Cesar's arrangement, he discussed with Ricardo and the others, which one should he choose for his celebration...

In Lisbon, which has just entered December, the dryness of autumn has not yet faded away. The sun still has absolute control over the temperature during the day, but entrusts the night to the wind.The alleys in the old city are a bit cold, and the wind blows through the corridors. Pedestrians always wrap their clothes tightly when passing by, regretting not bringing an extra coat.

Mourinho strode forward. In the evening, he received a call from Jose. Ever since he knew that Young's Lisbon Orient was being targeted by Davlar, he had been thinking about the game the day after tomorrow. In the evening, the private gatherings of several teaching assistants were postponed, and they rushed to Jose's house as soon as they finished the tasks explained by Mr. Robson.

It was Jan who opened the door. Mourinho patted his head, exchanged pleasantries with Jose as he took off his coat, and then quickly sat down on the chair in the living room and took out his own miniature tactical board.

"Yang, remember the tactical arrangement arranged by your coach, you say I will draw, let's hurry up."

Yang listened very carefully at noon, and after thinking about it for a while, he told him the starting lineup and tactics. Mourinho moved quickly, and after a while, the two basically restored Beasley's arrangement.

Looking at the slightly bloated backcourt on the board, Mourinho frowned. He has seen many big scenes with Robson, and has studied a lot of popular tactical systems at home and abroad, but this one is 5-3. -2 is actually a 1-4-3-2 formation, but it made him a little difficult.

"This is a variant of the chained defensive formation that became popular in the 70s and [-]s. It was first developed from the 'WM' formation, with four levels and a sweeper system. Recently, zone defense has become popular. Why is your club still so old-fashioned? ..."

Yang scratched his head. He still didn't understand the terms Mourinho said. Apart from knowing that he was the starting midfielder, he had to control the rhythm and participate in the defense, so he was confused.

"Uncle Mourinho, I don't understand what you said..."

"Ah, I'm sorry, this is an old habit. I thought it was a discussion meeting at the club...Look at this formation, four defenders and a sweeper, all crowded near the penalty area line, and the two full-backs seem to be in the front position. Once you recover because of the defense, you are the only one left in the midfield."

Yang nodded, pointed to his position on the tactical board and said, "Coach Beasley said, keep the backcourt steady and try to play the ball from the side. line of defense..."

Hearing this, Jose and Mourinho looked at each other, their expressions were very solemn, Jose clenched his fists and slammed the wall, shaking his head bitterly.

"Hey, his heart is terrible! Yang, what I said next, you must keep it in your heart, but you can't show it to other people in the east of Lisbon."

Mourinho's expression was complicated, and he waited until Yang nodded yes before continuing to speak:
"Look at this, after the teammates in the backcourt recover, the overall defense problem is not big, but the midfielder will completely isolate you. Think about what would happen if you were the only one holding the ball? Crazy pressing, and fouls There will be no shortage of moves! Those U12 guys are all focused on revenge. You left the team and didn’t give Davlar this chance. He will let you go now? Don’t you understand? What does Beasley want to do? Betray you!"

Yang's eyes widened. He was happy for a long time when he learned that he was the starter at noon. He felt that he finally had the opportunity to play against Davlar seriously. But now, according to Mourinho, he seems to have deeply In danger...

Yang swallowed his saliva, and asked with some anxiety: "Uncle Mourinho, what do you think I should do? Do you want to give up voluntarily?"

"If you still want to continue to play in that club, you definitely can't give up...Jan, don't be too forward in the game, try to stay close to the line of the central defender, your teammates on the field should not know about it, and When they are together, Sporting Lisbon will not have a good chance to attack you. Remember, you must protect yourself, you were knocked into a concussion a few months ago, and be careful not to injure your head again." Mourini Ao was very helpless, and he couldn't think of any good way...

When Jose sent him out, Mourinho looked worried. After walking a long way, he came back and knocked on the door. He patted Jose on the shoulder and said, "This Lisbon Orient, I can't stay here. I'll get in touch with you when I get back." , I will notify you immediately if there is a response. Let Yang be careful, I will go first..."

Jose watched Mourinho trot all the way down the stairs in the hallway before returning home. He was blown by the night wind at the door and coughed for a while...

　I feel sorry for Zheng Zhi.
