"Ricky, remember. When attacking, take the initiative to retreat and bring people out. Jermaine, you have to resolutely get in at this time. As long as the opponent's central defender follows Ricky, there will definitely be a defensive loophole You must resolutely insert this loophole. Do you understand?"

"Yes, head."

4-4-2, England's traditional style of play has many variations.

Chen Ping is also planning to continue using England's traditional style of play this season. It's not that Chen Ping has a soft spot for this style of play, but that the players in Chen Ping's hands are very suitable for this style of play.

Many people say that English players have poor football intelligence.

Not all of them are.It is because English players grew up under the influence of England's traditional style of play. They have played 4-4-2 since childhood, and this style of play is the most familiar to them.

A player has received this kind of training since he was a child, and if he is suddenly adapted to other formations and different tactics, they will of course be at a loss.This is why many English players cannot adapt to the big 6 team.

At present, many West Ham players are players who have adapted to England's traditional style of play.Including the core midfielder Carrick, the striker Lambert and Defoe.

Even though many other players are not native English players, they are also deeply influenced by England's style of play.Therefore, Chen Ping only made partial changes to 4-4-2, and did not change the overall formation.

Of course, this style of play can also have many changes, and many big 6 styles of play can be added to it.

Up front.

Chen Ping's use of Lambert has always been a center forward in Oxford United, an absolute center forward.But after arriving at West Ham, Chen Ping prepared to increase Lambert's running.

When attacking from the center, let Lambert drop back and bring the opposing defender out.Or use the center back to disrupt the opponent's defensive line.At this time, Defoe, a fast and flexible striker, is needed to go straight into the penalty area.

"Look at this again."

Chen Ping drew many situations on the tactical board and explained them to the players.

"Once our offense is to go on two sides, Ricky, you have to press me and compress the opponent's defensive line. Jermaine, your running position is very important at that time. You have to work with Ricky. Ricky keeps a certain distance. In this way, you can receive Ricky’s return pass, and you can also form an inverted triangle with the wide players.”

Chen Ping likes a center like Lambert very much.

He can retreat, or press up.Retreating can disrupt the opponent's defense, and pressing can flatten the opponent's defense.To create space for Defoe, a quick-witted player.

"Michael, when attacking, you also have to actively participate. Form an echelon attack."

Using Lambert flexibly can greatly increase West Ham's attack points.With the change of Lambert's position, West Ham's two wingers, Defoe, including Carrick who plugged in behind, can all attack.This enables activation of various attack points.

"Yes, head."

"Okay, let's train first."

This is just the various coordination tactics between the two forward players, Lambert and Defoe.Generally speaking, Lambert is very important in Chen Ping's tactics, but Chen Ping also values ​​Defoe's strength more.

Defoe is a genius.

Defoe, who is only 21 years old in three months, has reached a strength of 172, and he can already play in a strong team like England.Although it cannot be compared with top forwards such as Henry, Owen, Ruud van Nistelrooy, but the strength is already strong enough.

No wonder Tottenham have always been obsessed with him.If Defoe transfers to Tottenham, he has the strength to be the main force in Tottenham.Therefore, Chen Ping relied more on Defoe's offensive strength in the frontcourt.Lambert's movement is to create more scoring opportunities for Defoe.

In addition to the coordination of the striker, there is also an offense from the wing.Chen Ping put Ribery on the left this season, and let Leo Cork, who just joined West Ham, serve as the right midfielder.

But it's just an imaginary right midfielder.

Glenn Johnson, Chen Ping gave all the right to Glenn Johnson.Leo Kirk is more of a defensive thing. After Glenn Johnson came up, Leo Kirk helped Glenn Johnson take charge of the defense on the right.

After all, this is League One and this is West Ham.

You can't play the simplest 4-4-2 like Oxford United.The impact of the two wings, the cooperation between the full-back and the full-back, the cooperation between the two players on the front line, and the insertion of the midfielder will all have to be changed.

"Chen, Ribery is not very suitable for the left position. Will this waste his talent?"

Julian Dix came to Chen Ping to express his views.

This is Chen Ping's assistant coach.

Because Chen Ping has always been in the small club of Oxford United, he does not have his own fixed coaching team.Those who can have a fixed coaching team are those who have been coaches for many years.

West Ham is already a big club for Chen Ping.

Therefore, Chen Ping needs someone to come and help Chen Ping live.

locker room.Julian Dix was such a man.This is a legendary defender in the history of West Ham. He played in West Ham for more than a dozen seasons and also retired in West Ham.

At the age of 35 this year, he retired just after turning [-] and worked as a coach for the West Ham echelon.He entered the first team of West Ham last season and was appointed as an assistant coach by Chen Ping this season.

He didn't say anything about Chen Ping, but he still admired Chen Ping's eyesight.

The players that Chen Ping introduced this summer surprised Julian Dix.Because many players are strong, especially Ribery.

is an absolute genius.

Julian Dix used his more than ten years of professional career to guarantee that Ribery is definitely a top winger.Strong explosive power, fast speed, delicate technique, and very good passing.

Just lacking some experience.

However, Ribery was obviously a right midfielder, but Chen Ping put him on the left.Julian Dix could not understand that.

"Julian, Frank is a genius, he will adapt to this position very quickly."

Chen Ping smiled.

Then he took out a small tactical board from behind, drew a line in front of Julian Dix, and said, "Julian, look. As modern football pays more and more attention to defense, the defense in the middle is also getting more and more important." The more dense. Especially for our English football, there is no room for players like the midfielder to survive. Therefore, this requires us to open up the situation more on the wing, and requires more cooperation between the full-backs and full-backs. It just so happens that we have good full-backs like Glenn Johnson and Leighton Bynes, put them on the flanks. And then look at that area, it's a point that can be exploited."

winger, winger.

Where the origin of the winger is, in fact, no one can say for sure.But it should be the Brazilian team in the 60s and [-]s of the last century that the winger shined.But the winger at that time was a real forward, not a winger in the later sense.

After the Brazil team shined brightly, it was after Holland's total defense that wingers really entered European football and became modern wingers.The Netherlands has produced a lot of good wingers.

But in England it's completely different.

England's traditional style of play produces full-backs who can run and pass well.The winger style of play is not favored by English football.But Chen Ping knew that this was a trend.

As the full-backs become more and more active in the offense, the traditional full-backs have to find a new way out.Of course, it is also related to the fact that modern football pays more and more attention to defense in the middle.

So it's only a matter of time before wingers are on the rise again.

Although West Ham is now playing a traditional England formation of 4-4-2, it already has the characteristics of a winger.The two full-backs are very capable of assisting, and the striker has a center who can compress the opponent's defense and create space for the winger.

So Chen Ping drew a circle on the corner of the penalty area and said: "Julian, think about it. In this position, after Frank gets the ball, he can wait for the full back to set him up, give him the ball, and let him pass the ball." You can also cut inside, and shoot directly when the opponent's defender has not caught up. With a center player like Ricky and a flexible forward like Jermaine, there will definitely be many defensive blind spots in this area, leaving Give Frank a lot of offensive space. In this place, Frank can choose to pass the ball or shoot. This kind of offensive routine has more changes than the previous offense, and it is more difficult to defend."

"That's what I said, but..."

Julian Dix is ​​a player and coach who has been influenced by England's traditional style of play for many years.A left-back who has played in West Ham for more than a dozen seasons, he is not familiar with Chen Ping's style of play as a winger.

What's more, the setting of this kind of reverse-footed winger is even more unfamiliar.

So frown.

"Julian, didn't you say that Frank is a genius. In fact, he is more genius than you think, and he will soon be familiar with this style of play. In fact, this style of play is not very new. Arsenal's left corridor , Pires is actually a similar style of play. Give the left to Ashley Cole, Pires will appear in this area, choose to pass or shoot."

"Let's try first."

Julian Dix finally nodded.

Chen Ping made such a decision, and Julian Dix could only accept it, but he still had a lot of doubts in his heart.Ribery is a right-footer, can he play well on the left?

Chen Ping was full of confidence.

Franck Ribery's growth rate far exceeded Chen Ping's imagination.He only played in the English League Two at Oxford United for one season, and his current strength has broken through 16o, and his strength has increased by 2o in one season.

And this is because Chen Ping didn't use strength points at all against Ribery, but only used two potential points for him to prevent injuries.

genius.

That's all I can say.

The growth of genius is sometimes completely inexplicable.

With Ribery's talent, Chen Ping believes that although he is not very used to the left, he will soon become the best attacker on the left.Once Ribery is familiar with the position on the left, West Ham's left will also become a golden corridor.
