Unlike China, which has only 12 first-division clubs, England's fifth-tier league has 22 teams. In a year, the league alone will play 42 games. Including some cup matches, even a team and a half
The professional team Dagenham will also play about 50 games.
Su Yun strongly agrees with England's approach on this point.
Although there are a little more games, you can only exercise if you have more games.
Chinese clubs, after a season, even if they play in the Football Association Cup and the league, they still cannot reach 30 games. After a year, there are too few games. This is still a regular professional league.
Su Yun also learned about the English Professional League.
There were 22 teams in the Premier League last season. Including the League Cup and FA Cup, it is possible to play 50 games a year. But the English League One has 24 teams. Just one year's league.
, there will be forty-six games.
From these aspects, it can be seen that the competition intensity of England's professional teams is still very high.
The same goes for Dagenham.
Su Yun has just finished the 18th round of the Anglo-African League and is about to face the 19th round of the Anglo-African League.
On December 1, 1995, Dagenham faced Welling Club at home.
It's been a week since the last game.
During this week, Su Yun did almost nothing. Even the team's training was simply arranged. Su Yun's most important job during these seven days was to understand English football.
After the last game, Su Yun was confused for a long time.
Tyford, who seemed to have no technical content at all, defeated Dagenham.
This made Su Yun puzzled at first.
But fortunately, Su Yun has been a coach for so many years. Although he was a little dizzy after being beaten by Taft and Ping Ping Pong. But Su Yun is not a fool. He soon realized that he knew too little about English football.
Therefore, in the past few days, Su Yun has focused on understanding the development of English football.
Of course, when it comes to English football, it has a long history. Because English football has been played since the 1960s. It has a history of more than 140 years. It is said that England is the originator of modern football.
, not too much at all.
Later, many good coaches appeared and contributed to the development of football. Especially Chapman, who left his mark in England and even the world. The WM formation he invented can be regarded as the father of modern football defenders.
For the first time, the team changed from two defenders to three defenders. It can be said to be a disruptive reform.
It also allowed Chapman to leave his legend in England and in world football. Of course, it was precisely because of Chapman that he gave Arsenal three consecutive championships, the first in the history of English football.
dynasty.
Arsenal can become a giant in England, and Chapman's contribution is very great.
But these are all things from the time of black and white photos. The style of play that has the greatest impact on England today is 4-4-2.
Su Yun has watched a lot of game videos in the past few days. Of course, he can't find any game videos from the British and African Leagues. Su Yun watched some videos from the Premier League and English League One. Only then did he realize that the game that England plays the most now is the long-distance game.
Pass the punch.
There was also the physical collision that made Su Yun a little scared.
Too fierce.
It is very common to knock each other into the air in order to grab the ball. If you are a weak player, you will have no choice but to admit that you are unlucky.
Players who can gain a foothold in England, despite their short stature, have great bodies. Normal collisions will not cause any problems. Players who are not physically fit will be eliminated early in England.
Good technology?
If you don't have a body, you have to get out. This is English football.
And this style of play has been played in the English league for decades.
England's long pass attack emphasizes the presence of a center among the forwards. Of course, it also emphasizes the wings. The English team's style of play seems to be very simple. A long pass is either to the center or to the wings.
Their method of looking for both wings is to directly send long passes to the opponent's wing. Then they rely on the wing players to find opportunities, and then make crosses.
Most teams do not walk on the ground or pass through the middle.
The players in the middle of the midfield all have similar characteristics. They can attack and defend, but unfortunately their offense and defense are just mediocre. In English football, there is no attacking midfielder position, nor is there the ninth and a half position that Su Yun is familiar with.
English football is straightforward.
Therefore, the pace of the game was very fast. Just now one team was attacking, and in the blink of an eye, it was another team's turn to shoot. This surprised Su Yun, who was used to the rhythm of Serie A and Serie A.
speed!
English games, no matter which league level they are in, are all about speed and physical collision.
At first, Su Yun thought this was too low-tech.
There are countless players in China's A and B who play this kind of two-winged style, with long passes and long passes. Almost all northern styles of play are like this. The southern style of play has even more technical content.
Okay. Even the England national team can't compare to their small skills and coordination.
Su Yun really thought so at first.
But if you take a closer look, you will know that England's style of play has its merits. Speed and physical collision are things that Chinese football players do not have.
At first, Su Yun really thought that the English players were all bad guys with poor skills.
However, actual analysis shows that the basic skills of the English players are still good. In such a high-speed transition between offense and defense, if it were a Chinese player, they would not be able to stop the ball or control the ball. But the English players can complete the offense and defense.
This is also their characteristic.
Also, if the Chinese players were allowed to play at this pace of the game, not to mention playing for ninety minutes, they would probably collapse in less than seventy minutes because their physical strength would not be able to keep up. But the English players, at this pace, would
It's easy to do.
Physical strength and this style of play may seem simple, but they are very useful.
And 4-4-2, different teams play with different effects. Su Yun saw that some Premier League teams directly use double centers for their double forwards. Some are one high and one fast, and some are one high and one clever. You can follow the rules
Different combinations create different styles.
Although Su Yun also studied coaching courses in China for ten years, what he learned the most was the Chinese northern style of play.
In just a few days, Su Yun learned a lot of knowledge.
4-4-2, can we still fight like this?
With both wings flying together, grabbing points in the middle, and making long passes for goals, the pace of the game can be so accelerated. I learned it, I really learned it.
Although it only lasted half a month, Su Yun felt that this trip to England was still very rewarding. If he hadn't come to England this time, how would he know that there are so many playing styles in European football.
How do you know that the sky outside is so wide?
Su Yun felt more and more that it was right for him to come to England this time.
Although he hasn't learned anything yet, Su Yun is already prepared. He must take root here and study hard. Isn't this the purpose of coming here?
English football, you wait.
I will definitely conquer this place one day.
During this period of time, Su Yun also had preliminary ideas about English football.
Although he was stunned by Tyford, after this week, Su Yun also saw some problems. Premier League and English League One teams, their players are very strong and can calmly handle the ball in a fast pace.
Because their players are all professional players and their basic skills are relatively solid.
But it won't work going down.
The players below are not strong enough. Although the pace of the game is still very fast, the mistakes are also shocking.
Su Yun thought about the last game carefully.
Taft indeed caught Su Yun off guard. But now that I think about it, there are many loopholes in their playing style. Especially their offense, the turnover rate is astonishing. If Su Yun hadn't just arrived in England, he would not be familiar with the rhythm of English football.
, and it is impossible to lose to Telford without any suspense.
After a week of understanding and analysis, Su Yun also began to figure it out clearly.
And also began to think about how to defend them.
The simplest way, of course, is to use offense to suppress them. But Su Yun found that Dagenham's offense was really not that good. Especially the two wing attacks were unable to suppress the opponent's wing.
Since the offense can't go in, we can only consider defense.
