Coaching career started as a college team coach

///I forgot to mention that if you still remember the game between Wolves and Atalanta in the book, in the Europa League final that just ended a few days ago, Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen met Atalanta, and at this time Atalanta's head coach was still Gasperini, and the winner of this game Atalanta still used the 3-4-2-1 formation. If you are interested, you can review it and see how this tactic that has been used for almost 7 years actually works. ///

///It's almost summer vacation and I have more time. I plan to continue to sign up for the Chinese Football Association D-level coaching certificate in July, but I'm still considering it. If I make a decision later, I will also tell you here at the same time. ///

Wei Le glanced at his watch. There are less than 30 minutes left before the end of the game.

After Alphonso Davies assisted Jota to score the goal to overtake the score, Wolves completely took the initiative in the game. At this time, the shouts of the fans at the Westfalen Stadium could no longer scare the Wolves players.

"The attack in the second half was indeed very effective. We might as well practice it as a routine." Wei Le turned around and said to Celars. Celars thought about it and felt that this idea was indeed quite reasonable.

"The impact at the beginning of the second half was indeed very effective. It would be great if we could have such an impact for 90 minutes." Celars smiled.

"No, physical fitness is one reason." Dr. Matt Perry sat aside and packed up the medical box, shaking his head. "Our physical fitness is already good, but we can only last 60 to 70 minutes at most with such high-intensity running, and then all the players who are running will not be able to do it."

"But we only have three substitutions." Wei Le smiled and shook his head, "This is only one aspect, the other side..."

Wei Le stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and stretched out his arm. He looked like a zombie in the game "Plants vs. Zombies" who stretched out his arms and couldn't put them down. He asked Celars, "I want to hit you at this time, what should I do?"

Cellars was speechless for a moment, and Wei Le gestured, using his straightened arms to scratch in front of him, and the scene was very funny for a while.

"This is useless, I can't exert any strength at all, right?" Wei Le said, bending his arm, and retracting his fist, and then punching out fiercely.

Cellars felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him.

"How does it feel?"

"Much stronger." Celars said quickly, he actually understood.

What happened here also attracted the attention of the players sitting next to him. Almiron and De Paul were leaning back to watch. Wei Le turned around and asked them, "Do you understand?"

The two shook their heads.

Wei Le smiled and made another punching motion, "What's the difference between this and when I stretched my arm straight before?"

"Did you accumulate power?"

"Yes, I accumulated power." Wei Le nodded, "When I tightened my arm, I was also accumulating power, so that I could punch fast and hard. But if my arm is always stretched out, there will be less space for me to exert force."

"What if my arm is regarded as a team?" Wei Le paused, "If the team keeps pressing and pressing, there will be less space for the team to attack. This At this time, the opponent will often shrink and defend tightly, and it will be more difficult to break the goal. "

"But what if I pull it back?" Wei Le pulled his arm back, "In this way, on the one hand, I am reaccumulating my own physical strength, and on the other hand, I am also controlling the ball in the midfield, constantly mobilizing the opponent's defense line, and looking for space to attack. "

"When the opponent sees me pulling back, their formation will press forward to fill the space I just occupied, and then their space in the backcourt will become larger. "

"Then you punch it..." De Paul said thoughtfully.

"Yes, if I punch it——" Wei Le said, making a punching motion.

Cellars felt a gust of wind blowing past him again. No one had ever punched so close to him. Celars immediately closed his open mouth and looked at Wei Le with some fear.

"What's wrong?" Wei Le asked puzzledly.

"No, it's okay." The 52-year-old English assistant coach who was fearless felt fear, "You continue."

Wei Le shrugged and continued, "This is much more powerful."

"So." Almiron said uncertainly, "The team can't press forward all the time, and must also patiently control the rhythm and move horizontally to seize opportunities. In this way, finding opportunities to attack fiercely will be more threatening?"

"Yes, that's the truth." Wei Le nodded with a smileNodding, "Well understood."

That's why Rodri is so important to Wolves. Because Rodri is the brain that commands when to bend his arms and when to punch. He can slow down the team at the right time, and he can also use a precise long pass at the right time to blow the charge of Wolves to launch an attack.

The game came to the 65th minute, and it was still 1-2.

The Wolves' offensive was not so fast anymore. After they got the ball, they began to deliberately slow down the pace and control the ball. Wei Le was very happy that what he said during the halftime break was heard by everyone, while Steger on the other side was a little anxious.

"If this goes on, we can't win." Steger and his assistant coach Zog Heinrich said. Zog nodded and suggested, "We need to make a substitution."

"Yes, we need a substitution..." Steger turned around and lowered his head to think for a moment. How should we change at this time?

Pulisic's performance in this game was actually quite average. He was basically locked down by Alphonso Davies. At this time, replacing Gotze for a positional substitution would not have much effect.

"What do you think?" Steger was undecided for a while, and he turned back to ask Zog. Zog gritted his teeth, "To be honest, I think we must score now."

"Yes."

"So we might as well be more aggressive."

Steger took a deep breath, and he knew what Zog was thinking. He hesitated a little, because he knew that if he lost another goal and the opponent got the third away goal, Dortmund would be more difficult to play.

"Zog, I..."

Zog nodded, and he also understood where Steger's hesitation was. He patted Steger's arm, indicating that he supported all of Steger's decisions.

"I'll think about it." Steger turned around, but at this time he happened to see Van der Beck and Almiron running to the sidelines to warm up together! Steger concluded that Wei Le was going to make a substitution!

Steger closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

Van de Beek should be replaced by Jota, Almiron should be replaced by Bowen, and the attacking midfielder should be replaced by the forward. It seems that Wei Le is going to control the ball. In this case, if he doesn't try again, he may have no chance!

Steger suddenly remembered some comments before the game. When someone compared him with Wei Le, they said that he might be a little old and conservative in his thinking, and he used an offensive lineup in a lifeless way.

Although Steger was angry at that time, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with this comment.

Is he really too conservative? Looking at the Wolves players who were at ease on the field, Steger made a decision.

"Mario! Go warm up!" Steger turned around and waved to the bench, "Alexander, you go too!"

Mario Gotze had been waiting for this instruction for a long time. He almost jumped up from his seat immediately and ran to the warm-up area. 19-year-old Alexander Isaac was a little surprised, and he immediately ran to the warm-up area.

"Wei, they are going to make a substitution!" Celars said to Wei Le, and he saw the actions of Gotze and Isaac. Wei Le turned his head and looked at the Dortmund bench, and he nodded.

"It's okay, this is a good thing." Wei Le smiled, and he made a fist-holding gesture to Celars.

Celars understood, and he also laughed, it seems that this fist is going to be thrown!
