It is said that trend is a cycle, and so is football.

Since the founding of the first tactical system of football, there has been a day when tactics come to an end, because there are only so many positions on the field, and the changes are exhausted.

In fact, in the world where Lu Yang lives, the tactics about football are almost coming to an end.

From the earliest enlightenment football, to the emergence of pyramid tactics, to the invincible WM tactics, to the Hungarian center retreat, thus allowing the birth of the pseudo-nine positions, to the defensive football in the 1960s, chain defense, regional joint defense, to the birth of the Dutch full attack and defense tactics and the birth of 433 in the 1970s, man-tapping tactics, freeman tactics, the birth of 442, tiki-taka extreme pass control, Guashi Manchester City, etc.

Until a long time, football theory did not produce any fundamental new things, but head coaches were taking past things to piece together and combine them at a higher level.

But there are only so many basic things, and the combination will eventually end.

Where will the football tactics go at that time?

In fact, Lu Yang's era has already come into contact with some of it.

That is dynamic tactics.

Of course, these are still a little ahead of this era. Here, passing and controlling football has not yet fully emerged.

Back to San Remo.

The problem with San Remo is that there is no organizational core in the midfield, which makes it impossible for them to launch any organizational and non-counterattack offensives.

And if the target is just staying in Serie C, then they can indeed play defensive counterattack tactics, and San Remo will no longer have tactical troubles.

But the problem is that their goal this season is to upgrade, they must play more proactively, and defensive counterattacks cannot become their main tactic.

So they have to have an offensive core to tear open the opponent's defense.

If the court is regarded as a vertical rectangular nine-grid grid, then the second grid and the eighth grid are the goal of both sides and the area in front of the goal.

This is always the most threatening position.

In the 20-year European Golden Boot Lewandowski's shooting position statistics for the whole year, 92% of the shots were concentrated in this area, that is, the position close to the penalty area in the middle.

So early football was very simple, just staring at these two positions, and those who get this position won the world.

而和这个位置最靠近的人就是前腰和中锋.

But the center is deeply surrounded by the opponent's defender, and the front midfielder, who is standing between the opponent's back line and the midfield line, has become the most threatening person.

In fact, the rise of classical front-middles is indeed the case.

But precisely because of the importance of this area, the team later protected this position very well. The front midfielder in this position often faced the pincer attacks from multiple defensive players on the opponent and fierce physical confrontation.

Although most classical midfielders have superb skills, physical confrontation is not a strong point.

In this context, the team's core rear position has become a trend.

When Maniro debuted, he played as a front midfielder and then turned into a midfielder or even a back midfielder.

However, with the development of the times, more than ten years later, the post-organization core gradually became less applicable.

On the one hand, the pace of modern football is accelerated, and the rear core will miss many fleeting opportunities.

At the same time, although all attacks and defenses do not dominate the football world, the front-field compression tactics it brings make the survival of the back-core dangerous.

In addition, the improvement of the overall quality of the players and the ability of the centre-back and engineer midfielders to play the ball have also made the back core relatively useless.

Finally, the long-term adaptation to the rear-core play has made most teams lose their fear and targeting of the front midfielder position like they did many years ago.

Therefore, the core front-end play has new possibilities.

Izeret is the adapter of the times, and was born and destined to promote the renewal of Serie A tactics.

And Lu Yang is a wave in the wave set off by Izeret.

Of course, this wave may also become a stronger back wave than the previous wave.

...

A training match is being held on the San Remo training ground.

This is San Remo's closed training before the second round of the Italian Cup.

It is very dangerous to change the style of playing in the last battle. Even the famous football coach Guagualong enlightens English bald man always suffers from this problem.

Fortunately, San Remo's new style of play is not much different from their original style of play.

The main thing that really needs to adapt to this change is their core Lu Yang himself.

San Remo's 4213 focuses on two wings.

But unlike the devil's wings in the future, San Remo's wings are typical broken wings.

On the left side, Bayizami won’t talk about it, cooperate with the black hole.

The left back is the team's original central defender Rondo and the substitute right back.

The right side is not much better, and perhaps the defense is more stable, but right winger Fernandez cannot fly either.

But Suotu still chose this way of playing because it doesn't matter whether the wings can fly, because the real decision of the team's front midfielder position is the team's midfielder position.

The fundamental purpose of choosing a wing-side game is to send football to the frontcourt in the easiest way.

Without Moric, the San Remo midfielder is no longer lacking in creativity, and they don’t even have the ability to sort out.

If you insist on handing over football to the midfield, various problems will arise.

Just don’t just go to the midfield when attacking, and just send the ball to the front from the side.

The defensive pressure faces on the wing road is relatively less, so the football transmission will be smoother.

At this time, Lu Yang, as the front midfielder, approached the ball, received the ball, cooperated with the sidelines, and looked for opportunities.

When Lu Yang plays as a left back, his favorite area is the left rib.

The front midfielder position can completely liberate Lu Yang, allowing him to have the power to attack on the left and right ribs at the same time.

Lu Yang in this position can shoot, pass, break through, and have extremely strong physical confrontation ability. He is simply a killer weapon.

Similarly, even the set balls in the rib area are very threatening. Therefore, Lu Yang is subject to many fewer violations than he was in the midfield and backcourt, which also makes up for his shortcomings of weak ball control ability to a certain extent.

Bang!

During the training match, Lu Yang kicked the ball in the ribs and scored directly.

The players were all excited because Lu Yang was obviously very adapted to the new tactical system.

This is much better than the feeling that it can't be used in previous games.

Maniro is on the sidelines of the court, and he has also appeared in San Remo in recent days.

"In terms of offense, Lu Yang was completely activated. He was threatening even greater near the goal. His shot was the guarantee of his threatening ability. No one dared to let him fire at will in the front midfielder." Maniro said.

"But if you play like this, the team will be out of touch." Tom spoke and pointed at the court.

On the court, when Lu Yang holds the ball, the two full-backs will also adapt to the current pressure and become the existence of the wing forward.

In order to make up for the defensive loopholes caused by the front pressure of the full-back, Latuidi and Versacher two midfielders must stay behind to fill in.

From the back midfield to the front midfielder Lu Yang, the remaining large area in the middle is empty.

This is almost like cutting off one's own arm, especially not conducive to the team's offense.

"Isn't this the reason why we chose this style of play?" Maniro smiled. "The way we pass the football forward is to ignore our midfield and midfield. We are giving up the midfield attack. This is the price we have to bear during this period without Molic."

Tom said: "Well, there is no midfielder participation in the offense. Relying solely on Lu Yang's star-level performance, it may be effective. How can we defend? If there is no midfielder, our defense will be very dangerous."

At this time, Sotu stood up and pointed at Lu Yang on the field and said, "This is the difference between Lu Yang and Izeret. In terms of defense, he can return to the opponent's penalty area to our penalty area."

"You can defend from the left side to the right side, and his coverage is the entire court, the entire building!"

"Although I don't know why he is only seventeen years old and has such terrifying running ability, there is a saying in the East that diligence can make up for his weakness. Offense depends on talent, defense depends on attitude. He is the bridge connecting Sanremo's frontcourt and backcourt in defense."

"If the core of the midfield before was to adapt to the tactical system specially created for Molic, then from now on, what he needs to adapt to is the tactical system specially created for him by the team."

"Everything in this tactic is to allow Lu Yang to better display his own strengths!"

Bang!

Another goal was born on the training ground.

This time, it was Lu Yang who attracted the defensive players and sent a straight pass to Sogel.

He enjoys such a tactical system very much.

It's like a wild horse that breaks its reins, free and easy.

But these changes in San Remo are unknown to the outside world.

As far as the outside world is concerned, what they see is Lu Yang's loss in the original 433 system.

The media led by the Republic once again commented on Lu Yang's performance.

Especially in the just-in-one league round, Lu Yang encountered the first draw in his career, which is worthy of the big book of these media.

It was not until the Serie B team Brescia arrived at the City of Sunshine that the news slowed down slightly.

The purpose is not to let Lu Yang and San Remo go, but to wait until Brescia defeats San Remo before whipping the corpse!

...

At the pre-match press conference.

The coach of Brescia is very steady. He said that the team does not value the outcome of this game. Their goal this year is to strive for Serie A, and the Italian Cup is not in their plan.

In this game, they were more about letting substitutes come out to find their state.

There is no point in looking down on San Remo, as many teams think of the cup games.

Some teams do not pay attention to it if they are less than the quarterfinals, even the quarterfinals, or even the quarterfinals.

Even in the later stage, due to the pressure of the league championship or the Champions League and the Europa League, even if you enter the semi-finals, the Italian Cup can be given up.

But that's for the Serie A giants.

The Italian Cup is a great honor for most non-powerful teams in Serie A, not to mention the second-tier teams.

So, if possible, Brescia certainly hopes they can go further.

The reason for letting the substitute come out is because they think the substitute lineup is enough to defeat San Remo.

They are not completely unaware of San Remo, or because of the conflict between Lu Yang and Republican newspapers, almost half of the Italian football world know what problems San Remo is facing now.

Core injury is relieved.

Not only is the new core extremely uncomfortable, but it even loses its dominance in the past.

The entire team lacks offensiveness.

Such a team is simply better to train substitutes and young players and make them find confidence.

On the other hand, Suotu brought Lu Yang to the pre-match press conference.

After Sotu announced the lineup of San Remo, the reporters on the scene immediately had the urge to ask questions.

Reporter: "Suotu, is this true? San Remo has never played 4213 formation before. When facing a strong enemy, you arranged this way. Do you know that you have such high requirements for your own players?"

Sotu had a dark face: "This lineup is not much different from our previous style of playing, and most players can adapt."

Reporter: "Are you sure? These are completely two sets of plays around different cores. Your previous 433 core was Moric in the middle back, but now? We can see in the previous few games that Lu Yang is not competent for the plays of the back core."

Suotu: "So I put him forward, he is no longer a midfielder, he is the 1 in 4213!"

Reporter: "You must be crazy! He doesn't feel comfortable kicking in the back, so you actually asked him to go to the front? I can even imagine what kind of disaster performance he will perform next."

Suotu: "Let's wait and see. By the way, you are a reporter for the Republican newspaper, right?"

Reporter: "Yes."

Suotu: "Security! Didn't Lu Yang say that the San Remo press release site will never welcome the reporter of the Republican newspaper! Please ask him out immediately and don't let this happen again in the future!"

The reporter from the Republican newspaper left depressedly.

No morals!

At this time, other reporters asked: "Lu Yang, can you tell me about your performance in the previous few games? We can see that you performed very tenaciously and you grabbed two wins and one draw for the team in a very unfavorable situation."

"Everyone can see your struggle at the Molic position. How will you deal with this game?"

This is a neutral journalist, and the question is very sincere and hits the point.

Lu Yang said: "San Remo doesn't need a second Molic. In this game, I will bring a victory to the team in my own way."

Reporter: "Victory? Are you sure? Your opponent is a strong Serie B team!"

Lu Yang: "I'm extremely sure!"

Reporter: "Okay, I look forward to your performance."

...

In the team's locker room, Sotu was explaining the targeted way to play against the opponent with the players.

San Remo wanted to do something in the Italian Cup, so they had special research on every opponent in the Cup.

It is not difficult to find the information about Serie B.

After all, he still has a good friend, Manelo, who is so idle and frustrated, right?

There are rumors that next summer, Manelo is likely to accept the position of head coach of the Italian youth team and lead the Italian young players to the European Youth Championship.

And if he does it well, he will likely become the head coach of the Italian national team the summer afterwards and lead the team to the European Cup!

Of course, the premise is that the Italian national team can break out from the European Cup qualifiers.

As one of the candidates for the future head coach of the national youth team and national team, Manelo has a deep understanding of Italian football, so he has almost all the information about Serie A and Serie B teams.

"Brescia's lineup is a traditional 442 formation, with parallel midfield positions, and the forward players have a speed player Arnold who is familiar to everyone." Sotu said, "Because most of them are substitutes, they are not strong, and they are not even as good as us in terms of tacit understanding."

"I ask our defense not to push forward, not to give the opponent a chance to counterattack, and then try to attack after stabilizing the situation."

"Lu Yang, their parallel midfield cannot defend against the advancement. As long as you can pass one person, you will pass the entire defense line. In the early stage of the game, this is our best opportunity, you must seize it!"

In the locker room, the players nodded one after another.

Especially Lu Yang.

Lu Yang has always been not a core player, even if his data is far better than that of a core player.

But there is a huge difference between core players and role players.

This is the theoretical basis for most of the on-market to be despised by him.

And now, it is time to prove that he lives up to the name of Italy's future midfield dual-core.
Chapter completed!
