Super Training Master

Watching Derby County celebrate, Ipswich manager Zu Lyle looked solemn.

Before the start of the game, he would have been very sure.

Ipswich is good at defense. He built this team after two years. His idea is to use a solid defense to gradually improve the team's performance. Needless to say, in the face of weak teams, in the face of strong teams It can also remain unbeaten. This is pure utilitarian football. A team is created in order to get more league points, but for League One teams, it is the most important to get league points, because every team The biggest goal of the team will be to upgrade, as long as the means to upgrade is not important.

Ipswich doesn't have more money to buy stars, so building a defensive team to fight for promotion is the most direct and effective way. After two years, Zu Lyle has done a good job of transforming the team. Has been recognized by the media as the strongest defensive team in League One.

In the last game, the victory of Derby County in the away game also gave Zu Lyle a lot of confidence. Just like those media said, if they can win on the road, there is still a good chance for the home team.

The source of his confidence is the team's defense.

Derby County is a good attacking team now, but it is difficult for them to break through the Ipswich defense. Before the game, Zu Lyle was very confident about this. He believed that the team's defense was enough to limit Derby. County, but right now, there's no such thing as confidence because Derby have already scored two goals.

two balls...

Throughout the season, Ipswich's league has rarely been scored twice in the first half. The key is that Ipswich did not score. The team was two goals behind and faced Derby County. Opponents like this really don't have many chances in the second half.

A defeat may be nothing but three points. Ipswich won the last game against Derby County. This loss is nothing. No team can get three points when they meet the top of the league. Zu Lyle feels incredible that, The other side a small adjustment - just increased the perimeter long-range. can have such a good effect.

All he cares about is getting two goals. Is it because of the team's defense, or is Derby County inherently good at long-range shots from the outside?

Looking back on the previous game, Zu Lyle is still more inclined to the latter, because Derby County's long-range shot is indeed very threatening, and the team's defense itself has no problems. Two goals, one is the opponent's full-back. shoot. One is the lob shot from the opposing wing. These two shots are quite brilliant, and they can't be kicked by just one player. Obviously, the opponent's player is good at shooting from the outside.

Thinking of this, Zu Lyle also admired Wansheng's vision.

At the end of last season, Ipswich also played against Derby County. At that time, the two players who scored goals were not Derby County players. They both came to Derby County in the summer. Derby County can now go from a defensive team to an attacking team. It is inseparable from the role and play of these players in tactics.

More importantly, none of these players seem to cost Derby County much in transfer fees. According to media reports, they are worth about the same as the players signed for free.

Zu Lyle has also always wanted to sign a few offensive players to increase the team's offensive ability. After all, offense is Ipswich's weakness, but a truly capable frontcourt player is not an ordinary player. Puswich has bought a few, but their performances are very average. Fortunately, the team has a talented frontcourt like Darren Bent, otherwise Zu Lyle would not know who the team would rely on to counterattack.

Zu-Lair shook his head silently.

He knows that now is not the time to sigh about the opponent's vision. The most important thing at the moment is how to play the next game. With two goals behind, it is not a chance to try to increase the attack in the second half, but it is still necessary to be stable at present. Defence, if you can't defend well and let Derby score a goal, there's really no chance at all.

Zu Lyle decided to come down and immediately walked to the sidelines, telling the players to continue to strengthen their defense.

Soon the game resumed.

The mode of the game is still the same. Derby County has been attacking and Ipswich is constantly defending. The two teams seem to be conducting an attack and defense drill. Derby County's attack is very exciting, but they want to break through. Ipswich's tight defence wasn't easy either.

In this mode, time passes little by little.

Fans of both teams cheered on their teams in the stands, Derby County fans were excited because Derby County were two goals ahead, but they still hoped that the team could score another goal to seal the victory; Ipswich fans They are always worried, they are always worried that the goal will be broken again in the next time, so the team really has no chance at all.

In the diametrically opposite mentality of the fans of the two teams, time passed little by little, and finally the time in the first half was spent. The referee blew the halftime whistle.

Players from both teams returned to the locker room to rest.

......

During the intermission, the fans in the stands also relaxed, talked about the game with each other, and had some expectations for the second half.

The same goes for journalists.

They are more professional summaries and more professional outlooks. Before the start of the game, many media reporters believed that Ipswich would have a chance to win, but now the media has little hope for this, because Derby County is still ahead Two goals, but these media reporters who hope that Derby County will lose, still have a little hope in their hearts.

The difference between the two goals is not the end. Although there is little hope, Ipswich still had a chance to catch up in the 45 minutes of the second half.

But it's hard to say how much that is hoped for.

The main reason is that the media reporters have too low expectations for Ipswich. Ipswich is a strong team and a strong team that is good at defense, but their performance in attack and defense can only be said to be mediocre. Yes, even if they have a great Darren Bent in the frontcourt, it's a matter of the style of the team and the players as a whole. No matter how good a single player is, it's hard to drive the entire team.

That's what Ipswich is like, they defend very well, so the counter-attack is the strongest, but the problem now is that if the counter-attack continues, obviously trying to recover two goals in the second half is too much. Harder, it's almost impossible. The only way is to take the initiative to attack, and they have no other choice.

Ipswich go to take the initiative to attack, the offensive ability that can be shown is really not very good.

But it can't be said that there is no chance at all. If the players play well, there is still a little hope for the two balls. The hope is that Derby County are also attacking. Counter-attack games are always full of uncertainty. It doesn’t mean that you can score more goals if you have a strong offensive ability. Luck also accounts for a large part of it.

There is still hope for Ipswich.

Many media reporters who were still holding on to a little hope sighed in their hearts, Fortunately, Derby County's tactic is attacking! If Derby County wants to defend and counterattack like last season, let them lead by two goals. There is absolutely no hope for Qi!

Ipswich took the initiative to attack. The opponent then defends and counterattacks. It is completely equivalent to using one's own disadvantage to touch the opponent's advantage, so it is strange to be able to recover two balls.

Hope Ipswich can play better in the second half!

There must be a chance!

Zu Lyle is not one to give in easily!

There is still a chance to attack!

...

In the discussion of the media reporters, time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was almost halftime. The players of both teams reappeared on the field. With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game began.

......

As soon as the game started, Ipswich attacked.

Just like the media reporters discussed. Ipswich want to fight for an equalizer, the only option is to take the initiative to attack. They don't have any other options, only active attack can pull back the two-goal disadvantage.

Zu Lyle emphasized this point at halftime, We need to attack, take the initiative to attack! We have to take the initiative to find opportunities, we have no other way now!

There are 20,000 fans in the audience watching us now, and they didn't leave even though we were two goals behind! We were passive in the first half, but we also attacked! Guys, let them see it too! We are great!

Zu Lyle's words boosted Ipswich's morale.

They rarely take the initiative to attack in the game, especially when playing against strong teams, they basically use passive defense and counterattack tactics.

But now they have to attack!

Ipswich opened the formation and stormed towards Derby County's half-time. That posture excited the Ipswich fans in the audience. At the same time, many reporters in the media booth were also looking forward to seeing Ipswich. With Vic's offensive posture, is it possible to regain the advantage in the second half?

As for Derby County being better at attacking... The key is to play against each other. Even if Derby County is better offense, Ipswich always has a chance!

So many people are looking forward to it.

But soon they discovered a strange problem, that is, Derby County's offense was not as violent as it was imagined, at least it was a lot worse than the first half of the game. At first, everyone didn't realize this. In the past few waves of confrontation, but when Ipswich attacked and Derby County's defensive formation retreated, many people discovered this problem-when the football reached the feet of Ipswich, Derby County almost It was a retreat across the board, and the backcourt and midfield players almost all returned to their own half.

How is this going?

Everyone was a little confused, so they continued to read. As time passed, everyone soon understood.

The reporters in the media booth gritted their teeth, because they found that Derby County did not adopt offensive tactics at all, and responded to the game with a defensive posture. This style of play reminded many people of the Derby at the end of the season. County, that team is almost the same as it is now, the whole team is on defense, leaving one or two players in the frontcourt ready to counterattack.

To sum up, Derby County did not want to play against Ipswich at all. They just used the advantage of the two goals in their hands to make a solid back-off line to defend and counterattack!

This is not what I imagined...

If they play against each other, Ipswich will still have a chance, but Derby County will strengthen their defense and counterattack... Ipswich will hardly have a chance. Their poor offensive ability, facing the Derby County, which has retreated across the board, has a predictable result.

Derby County does not leave any chance for the opponent!

The media reporters immediately cursed in their hearts, This damn Chinese is so utilitarian! (To be continued ~^~)
