Volume 1 Portuguese Gamers Chapter 5 Derby (1)
The current atmosphere in Vishena is no longer as bad as it used to be.
If we talk about team meeting rooms in the past, silence was always the main theme.
So the current conference room is definitely a classroom for top students to discuss tactics, and the players’ voices of encouragement are everywhere.
Seeing Simon King come in, captain Marco Paul immediately organized everyone to sit down and led the team to pay respect to him.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the team had changed, Simon King took out a stack of printing papers from the folder with satisfaction and handed them to the corresponding players.
These are the results of a night of hard work. Each piece of paper records the players' on-field tasks. At the same time, he also writes down what they should try their best to do and what they should avoid doing based on their abilities after adjustment.
Clearly, clearly.
"Remember what I said yesterday about the transition between offense and defense? There's so much content that I don't think I need to repeat it."
“So in today’s pre-war meeting, I will only say two things:
1. How to adopt targeted defense based on the personal habits of Guimarães players;
Second, how to carry out effective offensive and defensive transitions based on targeted defense."
After a long time, captain Marco Paul, who already knew that he would start, stood up.
"Sir, according to your request, the opponent's midfielder and midfielder will be important pieces that we can use, but I have a question."
"Tell me, captain, what's the problem?" Simon King asked.
"When their attacking midfielder, Thiago Silva, gets the ball on the left side where I am, you ask Claudemire, who is the right midfielder, to steal from the opponent's side and behind. I can understand this.
.”
“Get straight to the point!”
"Okay, sir. What I want to ask is, if Claudemir wants to steal him, he will inevitably leave his original defensive area. But you don't allow the central defender to step forward to cover up defense, then won't there be a gap in front of the penalty area?
Is it empty?”
"Captain, were you really listening carefully just now?"
Before Simon King could answer, the star player Shao Mu was placed in the attacking midfielder position, and another star player Kiko, who was originally playing as a winger, but was assigned as an attacking midfielder in this game and did not get a chance to start.
Bonatti spoke at the same time.
After the two looked at each other and smiled, Shaomu continued: "That position will be filled by me or Bonatti. Moreover, our back defense can also make room for the forwards to retreat, allowing the wingers to counterattack.
Chance."
"That's right!"
Bonatti also added confidently: "And if there is enough space, Shao Mu and I may even have the opportunity to directly pass the ball behind them!"
"Uh...is that so?"
Marco Paul was a little embarrassed. After all, he was the captain, but he failed to fully understand the coach's intention.
Seeing everything in his eyes, Simon King immediately realized his problem: not every player has the intelligence to treat eleven people as a whole!
So he activated his "super persuasion power" again and ordered the players to gather on the football field immediately.
After moving twenty-two logo buckets of two colors from the sidelines, Simon King transformed into a sweet-natured old woman.
By constantly moving these sign buckets, he fully presented his tactical requirements.
As the skills take effect and they focus on winning, the players' doubts are solved one after another.
But more often than not, the players picked up the buckets that symbolized themselves, began to simulate their own work, and asked Simon King if it was correct in a timely manner.
Simon King patiently responded to all questions, and he was very pleased in his heart.
He is already fully confident about this game, which in the eyes of the world, Visena must lose!
…
It was three o'clock in the afternoon in the blink of an eye, half an hour before the start of the game.
Guimarães players have completed their warm-up and announced the match roster.
Just as Simon King expected, the opponent followed the 4231 tactical formation and did not even make any changes to the starting players.
Seeing that everything was according to Simon King's plan, the players waiting for the game in the locker room became extremely excited.
Captain Marco Paul united the players and shouted excitedly: "Let us fight for Vesena! Fight for the Champions League! Fight for the fans! Fight for gold!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
…
When Simon King walked out of the tunnel, Guimarães head coach Peba no longer knew how long he had been waiting for him.
Peba is a dark-skinned middle-aged man, about forty years old, with sharp eyes.
He stretched out his hand to Simon King and said: "Congratulations to you young man, I hope it will be a well-matched showdown today!"
After that, without waiting for Simon King to respond, he directly let go of his hand and walked back to his seat.
Simon Jin smiled slightly and snorted in his heart: "Do you have a system to play psychological warfare with me? Do you know my personality and my fighting style? Silly x!"
That's right, the reason why Simon King is able to grasp the opponent's offensive style and ideas, in addition to his own observation and analysis, is mainly due to the system.
In the system, he can not only check the players, but also the ability of the opponent's head coach.
That's why he seemed so confident about this weighty game.
Soon, as the on-site commentator introduced the lineups of both sides, under the attention of 6,000 home spectators, this contest involving the honor and life and death of Vesena began!
In the first half, Guimarães took the lead.
As usual, they first kicked the football into the backcourt, and then passed short passes between the midfielder and the full-backs in an attempt to find the space on the wings for Vescher.
In their traditional understanding, Vesena is a team that likes to press and defend in the frontcourt, so they appear to be extremely confident in their ball-control style of play.
They believe that as long as they keep controlling the football at their feet, it won't be long before Vesena's players will become vulnerable due to the gradual decline in physical fitness and the anxiety caused by not being able to get the ball for a long time.
The tactics utilized were out of position.
But what they don't know is that all of this is actually part of Vishenna's plan.
Simon King's two-day tactical class transformed these rough guys, who had always regarded controlling the ball as their first priority, into a group of cunning foxes.
Not only are they not anxious because they don't have the ball, they even have the idea of wishing the opponent to make fewer passing mistakes.
Just like Simon King told them: "Do you think the purpose of the bus is defense?"
"Big mistake!"
"What we really have to do is actually lead the opponent's players into our own half as much as possible, so that they can stay behind and leave us space for long-distance attacks!"
So, when the game lasted ten minutes, all the players from Vesena had retreated to the backcourt.
Chapter completed!
