Although West Ham United and Dagenham are close to each other, this is Lampard's first time coming to Dagenham. The Dagenham club is very small and run-down. This is Lampard's first impression.
Today is reporting day.
Lampard is a very disciplined person.
Because he grew up in a football family, Lampard has known something since he was a child. Diligence is the only way to success. Therefore, he trains very diligently and lives a very self-disciplined life.
Lampard arrived at Dagenham Club early this morning.
Not only because he is a newcomer, but also because this is his habit. During training, he is always the first to arrive and the last to leave.
Entering the training ground, Lampard shook his head.
This venue is too bad. Is this a lawn? This vegetable patch is no different.
But I feel relieved when I think that Dagenham is originally an amateur team. You can't ask for an amateur team to compare the lawn with a Premier League club.
"Um?"
Lampard was a little surprised.
Because he came very early. But he found that there were people earlier than him on the training ground. And there were two of them. When he looked to the side, Su Yun had already arrived. This made Lampard
Somewhat surprised.
"Frank, it's so early."
"Tou, weren't you earlier?"
"Haha. Come on, let me introduce you."
Su Yun waved. "This is our Dagenham captain John Charlton. This is Jack Williams. He is the teammate who will fight side by side with you this season, Frank Lampard."
"Frank, hello."
John Charlton has the air of a captain.
"Hello John."
But Williams was not as friendly as John Charlton. He simply stretched out his hand and shook Lampard's hand. Lampard smiled, not angry.
Of course, Lampard is a little proud.
He is a player of West Ham United.
However, Lampard himself is very well-educated, so he did not show such contempt at all. When compared with Williams, the difference between the two people is immediately apparent.
Su Yun shook his head.
Soon many people came to the club one after another.
There are fewer familiar faces. Because after being promoted to the English League Three, Su Yun dealt with a lot of players. Originally there were 27 players in Dagenham, but Su Yun laid off nearly 15 players. Then of course, there was a buying spree.
Fourteen people.
Two players were also loaned.
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves first."
Su Yun is very satisfied with Dagenham's current strength.
Needless to say, there are two players on loan. Kewell and Lampard are completely outstanding in the current Dagenham. Even compared to Su Yun's favorite Williams, they are also a step higher in strength.
The several key players introduced are all of good quality.
Harrison, introduced from the Hejing team, is N times more useful than Billy Clark, the original main center forward of Dagenham. Especially with a height of 1.93 meters, heading the ball is his biggest strength.
What surprised Su Yun the most were the players Chavez suggested introducing.
Preston's young player Kevin Kilbane. This player is far better than Su Yun imagined. Kilbani, who can play on both wings, is extremely fast, faster than Kewell.
And he is very active and willing to help the defender return to defense.
Su Yun is becoming more and more confident about this season.
Of course, there is another problem that needs to be solved quickly. There are too many personnel changes, and we need to adapt quickly.
Su Yun already has a main roster in mind.
Especially for the midfield combination.
Kewell, Lampard, Williams, Kilbani.
It's easy to say that Kewell and Kilbani are both good players on the wing. As long as they get used to each other a little, the game can be played. In addition to their outstanding personal abilities, it doesn't take too long. Just using their skills,
You can easily establish yourself in the team.
But the combination of Williams and Lampard gave Su Yun a headache.
First of all, Williams is the most important person in Su Yun's heart. He is the absolute core of the team. Although Lampard's current strength is better than Williams', there is still a difference in Su Yun's heart.
No matter how good Lampard is, no matter how much Su Yun likes him, he is still someone else's player.
Williams is a genius.
More importantly, Williams is his own. Even if Lampard leaves next season, he will continue to use Williams.
The 4-4-2 style of play now commonly used in English football.
And it's basically a 4-4-2 style of parallel positioning.
Su Yun thought about it, but rejected the parallel positioning. Williams must become the core of the team's offense and defense, and now his defense is very good. This season should let him learn how to control the rhythm of the game and how to arrange the team's offense.
.
The English have been playing in parallel positions for decades. Su Yun doesn't have that problem.
During training, Su Yun discovered that Lampard has a strong forward ability. Not only that, he also has a strong forward thinking. As long as there is a chance, he is willing to rush to the opponent's penalty area. This aspect of offense
Awareness, far better than Williams.
4-4-2, as a very old formation, has many changes.
Su Yun is thinking of one thing now. It is the diamond position. Williams is at the back and Lampard is at the front. Of course, it is not absolute. Most of the time, Williams is at the back and Lampard is at the front.
Williams defends, dispatches, and Lampard attacks. But as the game format changes, their positions can also change.
Lampard and Williams both have this kind of ability. They have some similar characteristics. That is, both of them can run well.
Both of them are the kind of players who can easily run 10,000 meters in a game. If they run 12,000 meters, 3,000 meters is the minimum requirement.
In a formal competition, both of them can usually run about 14,000 meters.
With this kind of running ability, Lampard is not fixed in the front, and Williams is not fixed in the back. Their running ability can fully meet the changes in the game.
Of course, this is just a preliminary plan.
…………
"Frank, do you see this location?"
After the game, most of the players left. But a few people stayed on the training ground, including Su Yun.
Now Su Yun is like a teacher giving extra tutoring to primary school students.
"Don't you practice shooting every day? Each player's long-range shot range is different. But for a midfielder, the most suitable position for shooting is here. The area of 20 to 30 meters. The long-range shot at this position is
the best."
"Less than twenty meters is inside the opponent's penalty area. This is another problem. And if it is more than thirty meters, the distance is too far. So the best place is the twenty to thirty meter area, where you are standing now
of this place.”
Su Yun was near the penalty area and introduced Lampard to the long-range shot.
"You have to learn to run, run flexibly. Run into a space and get a shooting opportunity. When the center passes back or the wing passes back, you have to run to a shooting angle. This requires your
With experience, you have to learn to run smart."
During training, Su Yun discovered it.
The personal skills of the players coming out of England's youth training camp are really not very good. Not only are they completely incomparable with South American players, but they are also rough compared with Italian players. Watching Serie A, those local Italian players are outstanding.
It's very light and outstanding.
But the skills of local English players are really not that good.
The same is true for Williams, and the same is true for Lampard. They have good basic skills, so they will not concede the ball easily. But apart from being able to use disguise and explosive power, Su Yun really has no other skills.
The camp was very complaining.
In Chinese football, many players from southern teams have better passing skills than players from England.
Of course Su Yun also understood something.
That is personal skills, not everything. Look at Williams and Lampard, both of them have poor personal skills. But their potentials are over 190, they are geniuses.
Lampard listened to Su Yun's words and nodded.
Lampard is a typical English midfielder. West Ham United's model for training Lampard is an English midfielder. He has good physical strength, good body, and can play up and down in the midfield. If Williams is not available, Su Yun will also use it.
Same approach with Lampard.
But it is precisely because of Williams that Su Yun cannot abandon Lampard.
So as a change of tactics, Lampard was pushed to the front.
However, Su Yun found that Lampard's performance in the front was very good. It was eye-catching and much better than being used as a general midfielder. Su Yun was also surprised by Lampard's forward awareness.
This must be an excellent attacking midfielder.
"Okay, Frank. Training has to be done step by step."
