What?

A comedian from China?

He has such a profound understanding of football?

He proposed the idea of three central defenders ten years ago?

And he made such innovative technical innovations in the front field?

Guardiola tapped the five fingers of his left hand on the desk several times.

China?

Football?

"As far as I know, Chinese football has great potential for growth, but its technical and tactical level is still a little behind the world's top level. How can a comedian have such advanced ideas? ?"

Guardiola still didn't believe it.

Zhao Yi took out his mobile phone and showed Guardiola the video of Mr. Gong's 3241 tactics.

"This is 2004? ? ?" Guardiola became more and more skeptical as he listened. Ten years ago?

Although it is just a theory, this theory has surpassed too many football professionals.

This is simply a creative idea.

Compared with Maradona's 505 tactical system, it is more operational.

The aggressiveness of this lineup is unquestionable. The frontcourt players not only need to be aggressive, but most importantly, they need to have the ability to pass the ball and control the ball, and they must not lose the ball easily. A strong defensive midfielder is needed to sweep the midfield. The three defenders on the back line need a very high degree of tacit understanding and hardness.

To put it bluntly, in this formation, the personal ability and football IQ of each player must be extremely high.

Isn't this the football philosophy that Guardiola pursues?

Manchester City can try it out now!

Guardiola likes championships, but compared to tactical innovation, championships are nothing.

Otherwise, he would not have arranged a weird waistless formation in the Champions League final, and finally lost the Champions League title.

So, when Zhao Yi proposed this tactical concept, Guardiola thought about giving it a try.

"You go back first! Go find Arteta, he has something to talk to you about."

Zhao Yi walked out of the office and found Arteta on the training ground.

Although Guardiola is strict, he also likes to joke around and his personality is not that unkind.

Arteta is a little different. He always has a poker face, as if everyone owes him a million.

Basically, he is in charge of the players' training and discipline, and this kind of personality allows him to complete his work smoothly.

"Zhao, I watched your previous games carefully, and I found that you never use your head to get rid of the ball.

You know, in a football game, any part of the body that is allowed to touch the ball is very important.

When you have one more way to stop and touch the ball than others, it means you will be better than others.

I'm very curious, why don't you like to use headers?

With your physique, headers will be a very powerful weapon.

And as a center forward, headers are the most important means of offense and fulcrum."

Arteta thought something was wrong when Zhao Yi strangely headed a sure goal against West Bromwich in the last game.

So, he watched a lot of Zhao Yi's games.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that Zhao Yi's heading level might be a bit low.

"My header is really not good. My level is probably equivalent to the top amateur level."Zhao Yi did not hide it from Arteta.

"I understand. So I will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your heading skills, and then train you accordingly."

Arteta's face was tense, and Zhao Yi nodded.

That was no problem.

Soon, Arteta began to evaluate Zhao Yi's heading skills alone.

He kept recording with his notebook, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

Compared with his two-footed skills, his heading skills were a piece of shit.

Arteta was stunned.

"So, in your previous training, you only trained your feet and not your head?"

"No, I didn't train before." Zhao Yi told the truth.

Arteta narrowed his eyes.

"Before I joined Wolves, I didn't train."

"So how did you score so many goals?"

"Of course it depends on talent." Zhao Yi grinned, then closed his mouth again when he saw Arteta's expression.

"I know you. In Wolves, you are the most focused and hardworking one in training. Galliou once said that you are like a sponge, absorbing all knowledge about football.

You wish you could live in the training ground every day.

You said that you rely on your talent... You remind me of a middle school classmate of mine. His grades are so good that every time I see him, he is playing football, playing, and even picking up girls.

In fact, this kid studies hard every day when others don't know.

You are the same as him. People like you have a bad heart, do you know that?" Arteta said seriously, and Zhao Yi was a little scared when he heard it.

""Coach, are you kidding me?"

Arteta patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder and laughed.

"You were the one who joked with me first."

Zhao Yi didn't expect that Arteta, who looked so serious, would tell a joke.

""Practice hard!"

Under Arteta's guidance, Zhao Yi began special header training.

He was like a clumsy seal, sticking out his big butt, heading the football again and again, and getting familiar with the ball.

But the head's feeling of the football is too different from that of the feet and legs.

Often, due to insufficient control of strength, the football is headed away, or it deviates directly from the expected track.

When Zhao Yi was heading the ball by himself, a short and strong figure appeared next to him.

Zhao Yi took the ball, turned his head, and saw Aguero.

Aguero headed the football, again and again.

Bounced up and down.

The sense of rhythm was very strong and extremely stable.

Zhao Yi held the ball, and Aguero not only headed the ball, but also walked around Zhao Yi five or six times without falling.

"Hehehe... Hehehe... Zhao, you see, when I was eight years old, I was much more skilled at heading the ball than you.

Hehehe... Hehehe……"

Zhao Yi nodded. No wonder, no wonder.

Guardiola didn't let you start, that makes sense.
