Football: The immortal legend on the green field

He waited for the discussion to subside, but Gao Haiyang did not reveal the answer. Instead, he brought up the old question about the physical examination again. "Football reform has been going on for 10 years. Ask yourself, are we really professional? The only benefit of professionalism is that it will make everyone's pockets fatter, and it doesn't take much effort."

"Many players drink, smoke, play with women, and even play match-fixing, which damages the interests of the team. Some veteran players take the lead in engaging in factionalism, using their influence to confront the club and threaten the officials of the Football Association. They just don't train well because they are fearless. If they don't play, no one can replace them. Because our youth training system has been shrinking in recent years, and the number of children playing football has decreased year by year, because we no longer attach importance to youth training, the overall strength of young players is getting worse with each generation."

"Fortunately, we still have the dividends of institutional football and we still have 10 years of golden period. When the first batch of youth training players from the professional reform start to take the lead, let alone challenging Japan and South Korea, we will not be the opponent of Thailand and Vietnam. I am absolutely not exaggerating. Here is a set of data. There are about 90 children born between 95 and 30 in my country who are registered for youth training. South Korea has 80, Japan has 20, and even Vietnam has . Are our children supernatural? With the selection of talents becoming narrower year by year, how can we be the opponent of others?"

"Fortunately, we can still catch up with the tail of institutional football, so I dare to promise three goals before the 10 World Cup. The most gratifying thing is that we have a genius who failed the physical test and went far away. Chairman Tan said that Shen Bin should be used as the cornerstone of the next stage of the national team. When selecting players, the first condition is whether you are compatible with Shen Bin. Most of the players present are not convinced, and the media reporters also think this is a gimmick. Let's watch three videos to see if it is a gimmick."

Gao Haiyang turned on the play button and the picture continued. Shen Bin and Ronaldo first appeared on the screen, both wearing captain's armbands.

The wide-angle lens of the screen constantly switches the positions and movements of the offensive and defensive players of both sides.

After five or six groups of shots, the shot turned into a close-up. The goalkeeper threw the ball to Shen Bin in front of him. Shen Bin lifted his foot high to take off the ball, leaned back, and used the opponent's player who was pressing forward to stabilize his center of gravity. He pushed the ball to Fabregas nearby. Fabregas received the return pass from Shen Bin and passed it directly to Modric in front. Pique stepped forward to defend. Modric passed the ball back to midfielder Fabregas, who passed the ball to Shen Bin who had already run to the right. Shen Bin dribbled forward, Mascherano stepped forward to block Shen Bin's breakthrough, and Shen Bin passed the ball to the Italian full-back Bonucci who came forward to assist. Bonucci dribbled along the wing, was blocked, and then the ball was touched out of the sideline.

The youth team launched an attack and Ronaldo broke through the middle with the ball, but was double-teamed by Fellaini and Tiote.

Fellaini got the ball and passed it to Fabregas, who then passed it to Modric on the left side of the center.

Shen Bin quickly approached the center from the right. Mascherano and local player Giroud followed suit and double-teamed Modric. Modric passed the ball to Shen Bin and then ran forward.

Shen Bin passed the ball forward without stopping, making a beautiful two-pass combination and easily breaking through the opponent's defense.

Modric dribbled the ball close to the opponent's back line. There were two defensive players in front of him. Modric passed the ball back to Shen Bin with his heel, and Shen Bin made a lob pass.

Suarez... There was an open space in front of Suarez, and Suarez faced the goalkeeper directly. Suarez deceived the goalkeeper who came out, he passed the goalkeeper, and Suarez gently pushed the ball into the net.

Goal……

Suarez broke through the youth team's goal, and the international youth team made a series of dazzling combinations and scored an epic and beautiful goal.

This less than 5-minute video suddenly stopped when the ball went into the goal.

"24 of our 21 A and B teams are using a -- formation, and the remaining three are using a --. Let me ask you what formation each team used in the game we just saw? Who can answer this question?" After Gao Haiyang asked, he looked at the coaches of each team sitting in the front row.

Yin Tiesheng recalled the previous few shots. The formation of the team wearing white jerseys was easy to judge. They were a standard 4-4-2 with parallel positions in the midfield.

What formation is Shen Bin's team in? Four defenders lined up in a row, and the forward line seems to have only one person, or three people, 4-3-3? No, 4-3-3 is a center forward, with a winger on each side, and the three people are basically standing in parallel. How come these three people are configured with one in front and two in the back? Moreover, the activity area of ​​the two people in the back is not the traditional side, they are closer to the middle, and they are not the front midfielders in the traditional 4-4-2 midfield diamond formation. They stand in the middle position between the front midfielder and the winger, which is what is called the ribs on the football field.

The positions of the three players in front are strange enough, but what about the three players in the back? Tiote, who is in the same club as Shen Bin, is a standard defensive midfielder. Fabregas, who is now emerging in Arsenal, is a standard organizing midfielder. Two midfielders? The double midfielder tactics used by Haarlem in the first half of the season have been known by the world football circle. Now some clubs have followed suit, and several middle-class European teams have begun to imitate them.

Didn't Shen Bin always form a double defensive midfielder with Tiote in Haarlem? Why did he give up his position to Fabregas in this game? He himself seemed to be in the defensive midfielder position, but he was not a pure defensive midfielder. His floating position up and down, left and right made it difficult to say that he was a pure defensive midfielder. Yin Tiesheng was confused.

It seems that it is difficult to understand Shen Bin's specific position based on his understanding of football. With Shen Bin as a variable, the entire Red Team's formation makes him dazzled, as if all contemporary formations cannot be applied to the Red Team.

It was already remarkable that Yin Tiesheng could think of these things, and most of the coaches were dizzy and confused.

Gao Haiyang saw that after everyone finished thinking, no one answered his question. It was not that they were embarrassed to raise their hands to answer questions like students, but that they really could not answer them. They all whispered to each other and discussed with each other. The discussion in the meeting room became louder and louder, and even two young coaches started arguing.

Gao Haiyang clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention back. "You all may not know about this game, right? This game is a project jointly developed by British football legend Sir Bobby Charlton and Coca-Cola. Every summer, they invite young football talents from all over the world to gather in France for short-term training, which is a bit like the summer camp before the NBA draft."

"In August last year, our country's young players appeared on the list for the first time. Dong Fangzhuo and Shen Bin were invited by Bobby Charlton."

“这场比赛是16-17年龄段和18-19年龄段的一场对抗赛，最终世界上最好的16-17年龄段的天才球员们战胜了世界上最好的18-19年龄段的天才们。很神奇吧？”

"How can young players with an average age difference of two years beat players two years older? It's not that Shen Bin and his team are more talented, skilled and physically fit than Ronaldo and his team, but that Ronaldo and his team dogmatically used the classic 4-4-2 formation. Even if they used the now popular 5-3-2, they would still lose. This is the consensus of all the big-name coaches watching the game, including Ferguson and Mourinho."

"Why did this happen? Because Shen Bin and his team used a brand new formation. This formation is the first time it has appeared in the world. No team has ever used it before this game."
