Chapter 21 From a friendly match to a friendly match

The next few days.

Training still continues,

Some players who were judged to have unqualified physical fitness after the holidays are also returning to training. After practicing hard for a while, their physical fitness reached the standard and returned to regular training.

Those players who had already returned to regular training continued their normal training content as well as the planned offensive and defensive drills on the team's new tactical ideas every afternoon.

As for Chen Yang, in the past few days, he still smoothly completed the training plan assigned to him every day, and continued to give his own opinions on offense and new tactical training to increase his right to speak.

Increasing his own voice has also given the Tarragona team forward Chen Yang a more important tactical position in the new tactics.

Now, becoming the main force is no longer Chen Yang's goal.

It has become Chen Yangxin's goal to make his main position more stable.

In fact, the team's head coach Mandy now has considerable trust in Chen Yang, and all the suggestions made by Chen Yang that are in line with the team's actual situation have been adopted.

The trust of the head coach is an important thing for any player, and Chen Yang has achieved it now, before the actual game...

As time progresses as the team's new tactics are improved and adjusted.

Tarragona's pre-season training match to prepare for the new season of La Liga has also arrived.

####

July 28, 2010.

Wednesday afternoon.

Tarragona welcomes their first team in pre-season training.

Segunda Division B team Lorca.

Lorca was a team that Chen Yang later heard about.

Everyone who knows Mr. Xu should know this, needless to say.

There will be two training matches with Lorca.

We will play one game tonight and then another game tomorrow morning.

Because this training match was invited by Tarragona.

The reason for the invitation is to bring a weak team over to practice first, which is to abuse the food...

So Lorca was kindly invited over by...his good friend as a dish. It was impossible to finish the game tonight and let him go back overnight.

There is no reason for this.

So I have to play two games before leaving anyway.

It's a friendly match. The more we play, the more friendly we become.

Then that night.

Players from both sides have entered the field and the game is about to begin.

Tarragona wears red and white jerseys,

And Lorca is the blue jersey.

The match lineups of both sides are quite different.

Tarragona is 4-2-3-1, with Chen Yang starting with a single arrow.

Lorca, on the other hand, is 4-3-3, an offensive lineup, and doesn't seem to care much about defense.

In fact, if you cared about defense, you wouldn't still be in Segunda B.

This game was held on the large training ground outside the training base. There was a small stand on the large training ground, which could seat more than a thousand people.

This large training ground is also where the team's echelons compete.

But tonight is the first team's pre-season training match.

As for this training match, the entrance to the stands is open and you can enter and watch it for free.

Although it was only a training match, but during the offseason, there were really no fans to watch, but the stands were still bustling with hundreds of people.

The atmosphere for football is somewhat established.

Moreover, the players of both teams have become more serious about the game.

All the Lorca players have serious expressions on their faces.

This was due to the way Tarragona looked at them before the game.

Because the people in Tarragona, including some staff, looked at them with curiosity and expectation in Lorca's eyes, and he looked at them from time to time during the conversation, and even laughed a few times.

As if, what will happen to them?

"It's just baffling!"

This made the Lorca players feel inexplicably concerned and also inexplicably angry.

Sensitive people might think this is discrimination.

Although Lorca's players are not that sensitive, they always feel uncomfortable with this kind of gaze. So they have serious expressions and want to add some snacks during the game and make Tarragona suffer.

As for Tarragona, needless to say, they are also interested in this game.

The reason is that the Tarragona team has been practicing the new tactics for a few days. The adjustment is considered preliminary, but they are only trying out the effects in intra-team competitions.

Now that a team has finally arrived, everyone has a chance to experiment. Everyone is looking forward to what they want to see appear.

Of course, we must also "hospitally entertain" our friend Lorca.

And here, Chen Yang is undoubtedly the calmest one.

The current anti-counterattack tactics, including the previous offensive routines, were built with him, Chen Yang, as the core.

This is also Chen Yang’s first experience with the tactical treatment of the core offensive position of the West Second Division relegation team.

And when the referee blows the whistle, the game starts.

After Lorca's kicker kicked the ball backwards, Chen Yang quickly crossed the half court and ran straight towards Lorca's defense.

Facing Chen Yang's forward movement, Lorca's midfielder naturally passed back to the defense.

The forwards are just pressing.

It's very easy to deal with this.

As long as the ball is passed back to the defense line, and then the defender kicks twice, it is like playing a monkey. After a few times, the opponent's forward will be unable to run. It is simply too easy.

Yes, Lorca also played a pass-and-control game, a tactic that, from the current point of view, cannot be solved if he plays perfectly and performs well.

However, Lorca does not have Habaib and the technical ability of all Barcelona players, so he does not have the ability to play this tactic well.

Of course, if it was just Chen Yang's single arrow, then pressing would be meaningless.

But it's not.

After the kick-off, Chen Yang was not the only one who crossed the midfield and moved forward.

At the beginning of the game, Tarragona's offense and defense were accompanied by Chen Yang's forward movement, and the entire formation looked like an organic whole.

Lorca's players don't seem to understand what this means.

After they received the ball, the two central defenders only stumbled back and forth a few times in response to Chen Yang's pressing.

It wasn't until the last defender faced Chen Yang's pressing again and was about to pass the ball forward that he suddenly realized that

Are there too many people in my backcourt?!

This is not because there are too many people, but because their passing and controlling rhythm is too slow!

In the face of a fast-paced high-pressure press, passing the ball will not give you time to think slowly and control the game.

You are still thinking, I have already taken my position.

That's it now,

Faced with continued pressing,

As a result, it was obviously still in our own half, and there was room for the pass forward and to the left, but there were players from Tarragona blocking the route.

At this time, there was no time for him to think more, Chen Yang was already pressing forward.

Send it back.

With no other option, the left center back had no choice but to pass the ball backwards to the goalkeeper.

Chen Yang changed direction and continued to run to force the goalkeeper.

What else can Lorca's goalkeeper do? He can only step forward.

The ball that was kicked out was steadily won by Tarragona's double midfielders through cooperation.

Just after the kickoff, the ball possession was switched.

But that's not all.

Once the ball is in hand, Tarragona's midfielder who gets the ball quickly plays the ball to the wide midfielder on the left below.

And left back Mović has a tacit understanding of the side.

While taking away the defensive attention, it also opens up space for Slin who is higher up in the high-pressure press.

At this time, Chen Yang had already wandered from the left to Lorca's right.

The right midfielder is behind Chen Yang, attracting the defensive attention of the Lorca full-back, and here, there is a large area of space.

After Silin got the ball, he had been training for a few days. He was somewhat aware of Chen Yang's movement. After looking up and seeing Chen Yang, he decisively made a long pass to the right.

When this long pass was sent out, Chen Yang had already made a premeditated start, allowing him to get stuck in position and get the ball in advance.

Then, split the side and give it to the right midfielder at the bottom of the sleeve.

The right midfielder at the bottom took away the full-back's defense, but there was no long pass.

An inverted triangle was passed back, and Chen Yang received the ball from the outside of the penalty area.

At this time, it's one-on-one again.

Now is Chen Yang's chance.

With the ball at his feet, Chen Yang stared at the central defender guarding him.

He didn't dare to make a move for fear of being surprised by Chen Yang, so he could only wait for the help of his teammates.

The time is very short, even if Lorca is a weak team, but with tactical skills, it only takes two or three seconds at most to complete the defense.

But Chen Yang's attack doesn't even need two seconds!

dribbling,

Then Chen Yang pulled the ball to the left.

At this time, Lorca's midfielder also flanked Chen Yang on this route.

But at this time, the right midfielder took Lorca's full-back and ran towards the penalty area.

The restricted area is almost full of people now.

There will be less space for attack.

Chen Yang could see it, but he also saw Lorca's goalkeeper standing on the right, and the left center back who was well positioned as the full midfielder moved into the penalty area.

The opportunity has arisen!

Chen Yang pulled him to the left again!

Then,

Be quick and decisive, and take off suddenly!

Knock on the door!

This time there is no arc, no technology required.

Chen Yang directly kicked a diagonal shot!

The ball went in!

This should be the first goal Chen Yang scored in a friendly match for the first time on behalf of the team.

Regarding this goal, Chen Yang simply high-fived the right midfielder who assisted him and returned to halftime.

Nothing happy.

Because Chen Yang will not just score this one goal, he will score more!

Chen Yang knew that this goal would be repeated again.

As long as Lorca's tactics continue unchanged.

As long as the slow passing and controlling continues, the high-pressure press may be due to physical inability.

But if you find the right opportunity and quickly counterattack, you will definitely penetrate the entire Lorca's vulnerable defense!

Sure enough, with Lorcana's passing and controlling style of play, after gaining possession of the ball for a long period of time, he gained possession of the ball.

Facing Tarragona's defense that compressed the offensive space, but could not find any chance.

Lorca finally lost the ball while passing the ball forward. This time, Tarragona took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack.

The midfielder and the wings cooperated several times, and with the one-two-one cooperation between the winger and Mović, Mović successfully broke through to the wing.

There is a lot of space for them to roam.

As for Chen Yang, he moved forward.

Down the base, cross.

Chen Yang jumped up high.

So my unreasonable body, which jumped higher than you and jumped first, hit the ball!

Header!

The ball went in.

The long pass that has become rare since then is still effective in the face of Chen Yang's dominating ability!

Whether the tactics are useful or not depends on the ability of the players!

And Chen Yang scored twice in the friendly match in less than ten minutes!

But the time is still long, and Lorca's players will continue to experience the exciting "hospitality" of Tarragona's players.

And this...must be a nightmare.
