Chapter 140 University professors and junior high school students
“Let’s not play winger?”
Chen Xingyi looked at his mentor in surprise. The expression of Luo Kai next to him was not much better than his.
There is no way, this is because what Dillon said to the two of them just now was too shocking.
As soon as the two arrived, Dillon expressed his welcome and went straight to the point, telling them clearly that in their national team, they would not play their best position of winger as before.
"Yeah." Dillon nodded, "Let me ask for your opinion first. I know that you are all forwards and you are used to playing at the winger position. So if I ask you to change positions, you may not be used to it at first... If
If you don't agree, then I will have to replace him."
This statement is very direct and somewhat... ruthless.
Even Chen Xingyi did not expect that the old man he met in the national team was somewhat different from the old man he had worked with in the club.
This is simply a naked threat!
Translation means "If you are not willing to follow my tactical design, then go and sit on the bench."
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 have no problem, I can fight..."
Luo Kai was not as eager to show his loyalty as Chen Xingyi, but asked: "Why do you want us to change positions?"
"Because in my tactics, there is no room for wingers. I need wing attacks, but I don't need wingers." Dillon directly took out the tactical board he just showed to Xia Xiaoyu and pointed at the two wing pieces.
"This is you."
Chen Xingyi blurted out: "Isn't this still a winger?"
Dillon chuckled, held down the two chess pieces with two fingers, and then dragged them back to the center line: "This is you too."
“Border midfielder?”
Dillon continued to drag it back until it reached the 30-meter zone line: "This is still you."
“Full-back?!”
Chen Xingyi exclaimed, and Luo Kai was also stunned.
“Hey, don’t make such an expression. It’s not like you have never played as a full-back. In the Asian Cup, didn’t you play as a full-back in the match against Japan?”
"But that was a guest appearance..." Because he had a better relationship with Dillon, Chen Xingyi could only say this, and Luo Kai remained silent.
"Yes, so from now on you no longer need to make cameo appearances. When attacking, you will be a winger, and when defending, you have to withdraw to the back line to assist in defense. But my requirements for your offense are greater than your defense. Why do I ask you to withdraw to the center?
Because there is no room for you to stay in front. Didn’t you feel it during the Asian Cup this time? How did you lose against Iraq?"
Dillon asked, and the two of them fell into deep thought.
The game against Iraq left a deep impression on them, because the two of them basically didn't perform much in that game. The whole game didn't feel like they were playing football, but like they were charging against a high and thick wall.
.
Time and time again, we bumped into the wall, or fell into the quagmire of the other party's crowd.
It is easy to lose the ball if you control it on the spot. If you want to dribble the ball, there is no space or route to break through.
The kick made them both very uncomfortable.
“Moving your position back is to better utilize your characteristics of fast speed and ability to break through. Just like you always have to take a run-up before long jump.”
As soon as Dillon explained it, 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 completely 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 defense and use their speed to contain the opponent's offense on the wing. It is not really necessary for them to stay in the backcourt and play as full-backs.
"I know you may be a little uncomfortable. But it doesn't matter. You also played as a temporary full-back against the Japanese team, but you did a good job. In fact, just play like that. Defense is an overall problem, and it is not you.
It can be solved by two people fighting on the wing. Now you just need to answer me, are you willing to drop back from the winger position and switch to a full midfielder?"
Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time: "We are willing, coach!"
Dilong laughed: "Very good, go back and call Wang Guangwei for me."
※※※
After the two men returned, they called Wang Guangwei out.
No one else in the room was surprised at this time. As Hulay said just now, the new head coach Jorge Dillon has already started his work. As a new coach, it is normal to interview the players one by one to get to know them.
.
At the same time, through the information brought back by Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Xingyi, and Luo Kai, everyone also guessed the next tactics of the national team.
Change the number to 352 from the 433 they were familiar with.
To be honest, it will definitely be difficult to adapt, but there is no way. Looking at the head coach's attitude and asking people one by one to discuss tactics and position allocation, it shows that Dillon is very determined to implement his new tactics in the national team.
Even if you don’t adapt, you must adapt, otherwise you won’t be able to stay in the national team.
This is completely different from how nothing changed after Dong Jianhai took office and everything took its course.
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 in the Asian Cup now... Then they will reach the top 12 later.
What to do?
You must know that the top 12 tournament is the highest level competition in Asia, not the Asian Cup.
Had it not been for the defeat in the Asian Cup, the players might have been a little resistant to Dillon's tough changes as soon as he came up.
Especially people like Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi, who originally played well at the winger position, were forced to move to the full-backs as soon as they arrived. When defending, they had to return to the full-backs. They kept sprinting back and forth throughout the game.
, the physical exertion is not something that fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game can imagine.
Fortunately, modern football has high physical requirements for players, so even forwards have sufficient physical reserves.
If it had been the 1990s, a 12-minute physical test would have wiped out a bunch of international players and expected them to keep shuttling up and down the two wings. I'm afraid the international players would 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 good as the self-media and fans imagined.
Even though they are undefeated in three games in the World Cup, if they continue like this, it is really possible that they will not even be able to play in the qualifying rounds...
Everyone is still young. When they think that four years later, when they are in their prime, they will not even be able to participate in the World Cup, 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 came to see him.
Previously, Dillon was looking for offensive players. Wang Guangwei is a central defender. What can you say to him? Can you 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 switching from defense to offense, if we can launch an attack directly from the back line, it will be better than passing through the center.
Transitioning in the middle of the field saves time and can also catch the opponent off guard..."
Based on the information that everyone has received before, the task that Dillon assigned to Wang Guangwei can be figured out at once.
Since it is playing 352, 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 like Zhou Zijing who is strong and strong in the air. He can directly pass the long ball to his head in the backcourt.
That's normal.
When Zhou Zijing fights for the ball, he can not only control the advancement himself, but also pass the football to the people around him, such as Zhang Qinghuan who is pressing forward, or Xia Xiaoyu who is penetrating forward.
In addition, Hu Lai has a strong anti-offside ability. Long passes from the backcourt can directly find him. It only takes one pass to penetrate the opponent's defense, allowing Hu Lai to directly threaten the opponent's goal...
It can be said that starting from Zhou Zijing, all the way to Wang Guangwei on the back line, we pieced together the things that everyone was responsible for one by one, and we got a glimpse of the whole picture.
Everyone knows that Jorge Dillon is a famous coach because he has won many championships.
But how do you know your level? Can you only rely on championships to prove it?
Championship can only prove that he has done well in the past.
But it cannot prove the present, let alone the future.
It’s not like a world-class coach can lead any team.
Now Dillon’s actions have given everyone confidence in him.
Because from the fact that he called people one by one for interviews, everyone at least knew that Dillon was meticulous and paid attention to details, which is very particular.
The previous foreign coach of the Chinese team, Marcel Wilson, was also a well-known head coach with considerable background. He was once a member of the FIFA Technical Committee and won a league championship when coaching in Europe.
But why couldn't such a coach succeed in the Chinese team? In the end, it was a local head coach like Shi Wuyin who led the team to the World Cup finals in history.
Later, some media interviewed national team players and talked about this issue.
The international players gave several reasons, one of which is this:
Although Wilson's level is very high, he is like a university professor teaching a group of junior high school students. What he teaches is too profound for the junior high school students to understand. At the same time, Wilson feels that what he teaches is already very simple.
How could the Chinese team players not understand?
In this way, there was a deviation. What Wilson said was clear and logical, and the tactics were exquisite, but when it came to the field, the Chinese team players could not execute them. Even the best tactics were just words on paper and had no practical significance.
After being replaced by Shi Wuyin as the coach, he is equivalent to a high school teacher who can also teach junior high school students. He understands what the knowledge structure of junior high school students is like and can teach targeted lessons. So even if his ability is not as good as that of university professor Wilson,
But he fits the Chinese team very well. His teammates understand his tactics and can implement them.
In this way, the Chinese team, led by Shi Wuyin, whose ability did not seem to be that outstanding, successfully entered the World Cup.
Of course, this is only one of the many reasons why the Chinese team was able to reach the World Cup, and it is not the decisive factor.
How much can we explain the difference between high-level foreign teachers and Chinese teachers?
After Dillon took over the Chinese team, many among the international players were worried that he would make the same mistake as Wilson.
But looking at it now... with Dillon's meticulous working style, I'm afraid it will be fundamentally different from Wilson's.
“Oh, one more thing. The coach said let’s...”
At this point, Wang Guangwei paused for a moment.
Sure enough, when they heard him talking about this, everyone became excited and stared at him to see who would be called for an interview next.
Seeing everyone’s hopeful eyes, Wang Guangwei smiled:
“The coach told us to go have dinner!”
A group of people were stunned for a moment, and collectively raised their middle fingers to Wang Guangwei.
