As the clock slowly reached nine o'clock, all the players from Vesena had arrived.

Their faces were still filled with the joy of victory, and everyone was in a very excited mood.

Simon King first rushed all the U19 coaches to the football field, then looked at the players who were changing their training uniforms and said: "Actually, I don't need to say it, you should also know the current situation."

"Currently we have the same points as the Belémians, but we have the advantage of four winning goals."

"But no matter what, we still have to win the next game. We can't leave our destiny in the hands of others. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Now that I understand, I won't say much more. As for the traitor, you should also know what to do, right?"

Right back Julio said: "Don't worry, sir, the captain called us one by one early in the morning, so we know what's going on."

But Shao Mu smiled and said: "Jin, your move is really good! I heard that the Celestial Empire has a military book called "Sun Tzu's Art of War". It seems that you have studied it a lot!"

Simon King smiled and said: "I haven't seen it at all! Okay, let's get moving. I'll leave the training ground to you. I'll keep an eye on you in the office."

After sending away the players, Simon King opened the system again and found the Arouca team interface.

The coaching habits of the opposing coach Armando also caught his attention.

"I don't like man-to-man marking, I don't like offside situations... I like letting players play freely."

Seeing this, Simon Jin couldn't help but frown.

The main point of his bus tactic is to attract the opponent, and then conduct a long-distance attack from the midfield to counter offside.

But Armando doesn't like to cause offside, which means that counterattack tactics may not be effective.

"Should we change our thinking and use high-position pressure?"

"Wait...he doesn't like man-to-man marking? This is wrong!"

In modern football, zone defense is often used in conjunction with offside tactics.

But Armando doesn't like man-to-man marking, which means that his team can only play zone defense.

"What does this mean? You play zone defense and you don't like to cause offsides?"

The more Simon Jin thought about it, the more strange he felt. He couldn't help but ask the system: "System, Akaro, this is a bit strange."

"..."

"Can you explain to me what kind of play style uses zone defense without using offside tactics?"

"..."

"System! Say something!"

"..."

"Well, it seems that it is urgent to find an assistant coach. Otherwise, if we encounter problems, we won't be able to find anyone to discuss it with."

When Simon King thought about this, he immediately thought about what would happen after the league ended.

There are currently too many older players in the team, and with some possible transfers, the team has actually reached a stage where it needs to be rebuilt or semi-rebuilt.

After thinking wildly for a while, he opened the system again and looked at it.

"The tactical style is four-three-three short passes to control the ball, and we play zone defense and don't like to cause offsides... What does this mean?"

Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.

"Could it be that behind the four-three-three short pass to control the ball, there is a deeper tactical play hidden?"

The more Simon King thought about it, the more possible it became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

He quickly picked up the phone and called Jim, who recommended him to be the head coach.

After learning his purpose, Jim was silent for a long time, and then spoke after five minutes: "If I remember correctly, when I was young, there was a coach in the league who used 'counterattack short pass'.

Maybe that’s what you’re talking about.”

"Counterattack short pass? From a literal point of view, this is unscientific."

"It is indeed unscientific, but kid, you have to remember that any tactic must have its success. Moreover, if this coach hadn't been unlucky, I'm afraid his style of play would have been passed down long ago.

Come down."

"In that case, this so-called counterattack short pass is actually quite powerful, right?"

"How should I put it... This style of play was just a flash in the pan at the time. But I think it may be that the players of that era were unable to fully understand the coach's intentions. Well, I'll ask my assistant to find some information for you, and you can study it yourself.

one time."

After hanging up the phone, Simon King directly looked up the information on counterattack short passes on the Internet. Unfortunately, the content was very sparse. There was only a brief mention in the memoirs of an old coach who had passed away.

Not long after, Jim's information was sent over.

Simon Jin couldn't wait to open it, and the four videos inside, as well as several scattered documents and records, appeared in front of him.

"The most efficient counterattack is never a long pass! Because the long pass is so purposeful, it cannot pose a threat at all when facing a well-trained opponent."

"The so-called defense should start from the forward. There is a center line everywhere on the court, a penalty area everywhere on the court, and people are marked everywhere on the court."

"Some people say that offense is the best defense, but I think defense is the best offense. It's a pity that players don't understand offense and defense, and they should never be separated."

"To me, man-to-man defense is definitely not just one-on-one, it should be a process of control. If four people can be used to trap three of the opponent's players, then this type of man-to-man defense will be successful.

"

"They all said that I was crazy and that my idea of ​​treating the center line as the goal line was the self-righteous self-flagellation of an incompetent person. But I know... I, Rikales Evangelista, am absolutely not wrong. Maybe history

There will be a day when it will be proven for me.”

Seeing this, Ximen Jin felt hot all over.

A feeling that seems to be something but not at all, something paradoxical, is galloping in his heart.

Before he knew it, the morning had passed, and even when the company doctor came to ask him to eat, he didn't respond at all.

I don't know how long it took, but Simon Jin picked up the pen from the table and quickly drew a 4231 formation on the notebook.

"Use four people to trap three of the opponent's players...or use seven to trap five of the opponent's players...This is why the Aroka team doesn't like man-to-man marking!"

"No, no, no, no! It's not that they don't like man-to-man marking, they simply use man-to-man marking that's even worse than man-to-man marking!"

"If we talk about segmented offense and defense, it is more reflected in the offense. Then this senior's tactics basically divide the court into countless small areas. He gives up marking and controlling some areas to achieve localized

To make a profit, use more to defeat less!”

"Offense means defense, defense means offense, and there is a center line everywhere on the court... From this point of view, the Arouca team's short passes are not for the purpose of controlling the ball at all!"

As he wrote this, Ximen Jin's eyes narrowed.
Chapter completed!
