Fox in the Penalty Area

"Let's stop playing wingers?"

Chen Xingyi looked at his mentor in surprise, and Luo Kai next to him had no better expression than him.

No way, this is because what Dillon said to the two of them just now was too shocking.

As soon as the two came, after Dillon expressed his welcome, he went straight to the point and told them clearly that in their national team, they would not play their best winger position as before.

"Well." Dillon nodded, "I'll ask for your opinions first. I know that you are all forwards, and you are used to working as a winger. So if you change positions, you may not be used to it at first... If If you don't agree, then I can only change people."

This is very straightforward, but also a little... ruthless.

Even Chen Xingyi did not expect that the old man he saw in the national team was a little different from the old man he had worked with in the club.

This is simply a naked threat!

The translation is "If you are not willing to follow my tactical design, then go to the bench and sit on the bench".

The two former main strikers of the national team are now going to be substitutes... Are you kidding me?

Although Chen Xingyi still didn't understand why the old man said that, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm fine, I can call..."

Luo Kai did not rush to show his loyalty like Chen Xingyi, but asked, "Why do you want us to change positions?"

"Because in my tactics, there is no position for a winger. I need to attack from the side, but I don't need a winger." Dillon directly took out the tactical board that he had just shown to Xia Xiaoyu, pointed at the two pieces on the side, "This is you."

Chen Xingyi blurted out: "Isn't this still a winger?"

Dillon chuckled, pressed two fingers on the two chess pieces, and then dragged them back to the center line: "This is you too."

"Front guard?"

Dillon continued to drag back and dragged to the 30-meter area line: "This is still you."

"Fingerback?!"

Chen Xingyi exclaimed, Luo Kai was also dumbfounded.

"Hey, don't put on such an expression. It's not like you haven't played full-backs before. Didn't you play full-backs in the Asian Cup against Japan?"

"But that's a cameo..." Because he has a good relationship with Dillon, Chen Xingyun can only say that, Luo Kai is silent.

"Yes, so from now on you don't need cameos anymore. When attacking, you are a winger, and when defending, you have to withdraw to the back line to assist in defense. But I ask you to attack more than defend. Why do you withdraw to the center? Because there is no room for you to stay in front. Didn’t you feel it in the Asian Cup this time? How did you lose against Iraq?”

When Dillon asked, the two fell into deep thought.

The game against Iraq impressed them because the two of them basically didn't play much in that game. Throughout the game, they didn't seem to be playing football, but they seemed to be charging against a once tall and thick wall.

Time and time again, bumping into walls, or getting bogged down in each other's crowd.

It is easy to lose the ball in place, and there is no space and route to break through if you want to dribble the ball.

It made them both very uncomfortable.

"The purpose of moving you backwards is to make better use of your fast speed and ability to break through. It's like you always have to run before the long jump."

After Dillon explained this, the two of them understood.

It seems that they have played all three positions, but in fact they still focus on offense.

As for defense...

Looking at the chess pieces that were not fully displayed on the tactical board, the two of them also guessed that the new coach should play a 352 formation.

The three defenders are the main defensive force. They assist in the defense and use their own speed to contain the opponent's offensive on the wing. It's not really about keeping them at full-back at the back all the time.

"I know you might feel uncomfortable. But that's okay,

Against the Japanese team, you also played as temporary full-backs, but you did a good job. Actually just kick like that. Defense is an overall problem, and it cannot be solved by the two of you singled out on the wing. Now you just need to answer me, are you willing to retreat from the winger position and play a full-back instead. "

Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai looked at each other, then nodded at the same time: "We are willing, coach!"

Dillon laughed: "Very good, go back and call Wang Guangwei for me."

※※※

After the two returned, they called Wang Guangwei out.

No one else in the room was surprised by this time, as Hou Lai said just now, the new head coach Jorge Dillon has started his work. As a new coach, it is normal to interview players one by one to get to know them.

At the same time, based on the information brought back by Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Xingyi, and Luo Kai, everyone guessed the next tactics of the national team.

Change from the 433 they are familiar with to 352.

To be honest, adapting is definitely not adapting, but there is no way. Looking at the posture of the head coach, looking for people to discuss tactics and position allocation one by one, it shows that Dillon is very determined to implement his new tactics in the national team.

If you don't adapt, you must adapt, otherwise you will never want to stay in the national team.

This is completely different from when Dong Jianhai took office, nothing changed and everything went with the flow.

After Dong Jianhai took office, everyone felt very comfortable. But looking at the performance of the Asian Cup, they must also admit that if the national team does not make changes, it will be so difficult to play the Asian Cup now... What will happen when they reach the top 12?

You must know that the Top 12 is the highest-level event in Asia, not the Asian Cup.

If there is no loss in the Asian Cup, the players may have some resistance to Dillon's such a tough change as soon as he came up.

Especially people like Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi who played well at the winger position, they were forced to retreat to the winger when they came, and they had to return to the fullback when defending, and they kept sprinting back and forth throughout the game. , That physical exertion is beyond the imagination of fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game.

Thanks to the fact that modern football requires high physical fitness of players, so even forwards have enough physical reserves.

If it was changed to the 1990s, the physical test of the 12-minute run would wipe out a bunch of international players, expecting them to shuttle up and down on the two sides, I am afraid that the international players will rebel...

But it is precisely because of the failure of the Asian Cup that everyone can see the future clearly-it is definitely not as beautiful as the self-media and fans imagined.

Regardless of their three unbeaten matches in the World Cup, if this continues, it is really possible that they will not even be able to play in the qualifiers...

Everyone is still young. When they think that they will not even be able to participate in the World Cup four years later, when they are in their prime, how many people can accept such a result?

※※※

Wang Guangwei didn't go there for long, and soon he returned to the room.

Seeing him come back, everyone gathered around and asked the head coach why he was looking for him.

Before Dillon was looking for offensive players, Wang Guangwei was a central defender, what can I say to him? Criticize his performance in the Asian Cup?

"The coach asked me to practice more long passes, to make my long passes more accurate..." Wang Guangwei said. "He said that when we switch from defense to offense, if we can launch an attack directly from the back line, it will save more time than passing through the midfield. This will also catch the opponent by surprise..."

Based on the information everyone got before, the task that Dillon arranged for Wang Guangwei can be figured out immediately.

Since it is playing 352, then Hu Lai will definitely start with Zhou Zijing. The Chinese team has two forwards in the frontcourt. At the same time, there is a center forward like Zhou Zijing who is strong and capable of controlling the air. That's normal.

When Zhou Zijing competes for the ball, he can not only control the advancement by himself, but also pass the football to those around him, such as Zhang Qinghuan who is pressing forward, or Xia Xiaoyu who is advancing forward.

In addition, Hu Lai has a strong anti-offside ability. A long pass from the backcourt directly finds him. It only takes one pass to penetrate the opponent's defense line, allowing Hu Lai to directly threaten the opponent's goal...

It can be said that from Zhou Zijing to Wang Guangwei on the back line, one link after another, piece together the things everyone is responsible for, and you can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Everyone knows that Jorge Dillon is a famous coach because he has won many championships.

But what is the level? Proven only by the championship?

The championship only proves that he has done well in the past.

But it cannot prove the present, let alone the future.

A world-class coach is not something that any team can lead well.

And now Dillon's approach has given everyone confidence in him.

Because from the fact that he called people one by one for interviews, everyone at least knows that Dillon is meticulous and pays attention to details, which is very particular.

The previous foreign coach of the Chinese team, Marcel Wilson, was also a well-known and well-known head coach. He used to be a member of the FIFA Technical Committee. He also won the league championship when coaching in Europe.

But why did such a coach fail to succeed in the Chinese team? In the end, it was Shi Wuyin, a local head coach, who led the team to make a historic break into the World Cup finals.

Later, some media interviewed the national team players and talked about this issue.

The international players gave several reasons, one of which is as follows:

Although Wilson was of a high standard, he was like a college professor teaching a group of junior high school students. What he said was too esoteric for the junior high school students to understand. At the same time, Wilson felt that what he said was already very simple. How could the players of the Chinese team not understand?

In this way, there is a deviation. Wilson said clearly and cleverly, and the tactics were exquisite, but on the field, the players of the Chinese team couldn't execute them well. Even the best tactics were just talk on paper and had no practical significance.

After being replaced by Shi Wuyin, he is equivalent to a high school teacher and can also teach junior high school students. He understands what the knowledge structure of junior high school students looks like, and he can give targeted lessons. So even if his ability is not as good as the university professor Wilson, he is very suitable for this Chinese team. His teammates understand his tactics and can execute his tactics.

In this way, the Chinese team successfully entered the World Cup under the leadership of Shi Wuyin, who seemed less capable.

Of course, this is only one of the many reasons why the Chinese team can enter the World Cup, and it is not a decisive factor.

Just how much can explain the difference between high-level foreign teachers and Chinese teachers.

After Dillon took over the Chinese team, many people among the international players worried that he would repeat the mistakes of Wilson.

But looking at it now... With Dillon's meticulous working method, I'm afraid it will be fundamentally different from Wilson.

"Oh, one more thing. Coach said let's..."

Speaking of this, Wang Guangwei paused for a while.

Sure enough, when they heard him talking about this, everyone cheered up and stared at him to see who would be called for an interview next.

Seeing everyone's hopeful eyes, Wang Guangwei smiled:

"Coach said let's go to dinner!"

A group of people froze for a moment, and collectively raised their middle fingers to Wang Guangwei.
