Chapter 22 Playing against Bayern, B2B

"That Mr. Hikawa, a steel plate, looks very gentle and like a scholar, but I didn't expect that he could say such passionate words."

"It's a bit exaggerated, but I think it's pretty good. It feels like a cartoon character. Hey, by the way, this guy named Muller from Bayern is very powerful. He has a very keen sense of offense."

"where?"

"Come and watch the videotape that the coach gave you."

Yokohama Prince Hotel, Room 1307, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed watching the game video. Messi, who had just washed his hair, came over. He glanced at the TV and asked, "Is this the game video of the Bayern youth training team?"

"Well, our first game was against Bayern. I went to coach Zach and asked for the video. But this guy looks so young."

Chen Mo was a little confused, and Messi said: "The age limit for this competition is said to be twelve to fifteen years old, but there is no strict limit. By the way, the best player on their team should be Bastian Schweinsteiger.

When he was about sixteen years old, he was already somewhat famous in Germany."

"No, isn't it time for everyone at this age to play for the B team?"

Chen Mo's eyes widened, and then Pique's voice came from behind the wall: "Chen Mo, it seems you haven't figured out Nike's intention of organizing this competition. What they want is popularity, you know! This competition is said to be from U12 to U15.

, but in fact many teams have brought U16 players. If Iniesta hadn't been playing, the coach would have brought Iniesta to the competition this time."

"." Chen Mo was speechless: "You guys are eavesdropping?!"

"That's not the point, okay! What's more, your voices are so loud, it's strange that you can't hear me! I'm playing against Bayern tomorrow, do we want to talk?"

"Okay, come here."

A few minutes later, the four little ones sat cross-legged in a circle on the bed.

Fabregas buttoned his nose and dropped a smiling photo in the center like a killer: "First of all, he, Thomas Muller, is twelve years old this year. Even though he is one year younger than us, he has already started to follow us.

U14 teams play games, which are characterized by an extremely keen sense of attack. They can change their positions on the field and can play multiple positions such as attacking midfielder, forward, winger, etc. However, generally speaking, they play more as an attacking midfielder and like to play between the opponent's defenders and

The area between the midfielders, Pique, you have to keep an eye on when the time comes."

"no problem."

"The next one is Bastian Schweinsteiger, born in 1984, 16 years old, German, nearly 180 centimeters tall. This guy is much more difficult to deal with than Muller. His strength is not weak and his feet are delicate.

, his organizational skills are top-notch, and few people can steal the ball from his feet. Moreover, he is also a good player in defense. He can be said to be a perfect all-round midfielder. The disadvantage is that he is not very fast and has average flexibility.

If we have a chance, we can play behind him."

"This is a solution, but there is still a problem."

Chen Mo pushed another photo up: "This guy - Mats Hummels, twelve years old, nearly 1.8 meters tall, can play center back and defensive midfielder. His father is a football coach.

He has been exposed to football and is now the most dazzling defender in Bayern's youth training. I just watched his game video. His interception ability is very good, his judgment of the ball path is accurate, his range of movement is also very large, and he is very tall.

At the same time, the speed is not slow. If he plays as a defensive midfielder, it will be difficult for us to get past the midfield defense line formed by him and Schweinsteiger."

"I can retreat to respond. As long as the three of us can connect, they can't guard us."

Messi was gesticulating while talking, and Chen Mo frowned and said: "The intensity of this game is completely different from the previous one. Are you sure you have the physical ability to keep up with the frequent retreats to the midfield? You are the sharpest knife on our front line. If

If you lose your energy during the attack, it will be difficult for us."

"I'll give it a try, there should be no problem."

"That's okay, but we'd better go to Mr. Zach to discuss it again. Maybe we haven't finished our thinking yet."

"Not perfect enough? You guys can do it, but you don't call me coach when discussing tactics? Do you think I'm old and useless?"

"coach?!"

Chen Mo looked back in surprise and saw the elderly Zach leaning against the door and looking at them with a smile, playing with the key card in his hand.

Zach smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up an apple and gnawed on it while pointing at the photo and said: "I heard what you just discussed. The idea is not bad. You can try it, but there are still problems in defense. You just have to look at it.

When I arrived at Thomas Muller, I didn't see this guy - Sandro Wagner. As a fulcrum forward, although he seems to have little effect on the court and looks like a blue collar, he is actually an important pillar of Bayern's frontcourt.

, if you don’t deal with him, you won’t be able to contain Bayern’s offense, and he is 188 centimeters tall and good at heading the ball. The tallest of our defenders is Pique, who is half a head shorter than him.”

Having said this, Zach looked at Chen Mo: "I'm going to let you play as a defensive midfielder tomorrow, how about it?"

"Back waist?"

Chen Mo was embarrassed, and Zach smiled and said: "Have you ever heard of box-to-box?"

box-to-box?

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. Box-to-box is the so-called b2b, where box represents the penalty area, and box-to-box means from one's own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area. To put it simply, it means the entire field!

The b2b midfielder is generally played by a player with outstanding athletic ability, good offensive and defensive skills, who can not only rush into the opponent's penalty area to shoot and grab points, but also return to his own penalty area to defend, and can link up with teammates to organize attacks.

He is a super versatile midfielder.

But thinking of this, Chen Mo's face turned bitter: "Coach, my physical fitness is fine, but my speed is not fast enough and my defensive ability is not enough."

Zach smiled and said: "Let's try it first. Your speed is indeed not fast enough, but Schweinsteiger and Muller are not fast players. As for defensive ability. You are not tall and not strong, but

You have many advantages that defensive players don’t have. You judge the path of the ball very accurately, and this is one of the important characteristics of a b2b midfielder, because most of the time you don’t actually fight with the opponent’s players at all.

Cut off passing lanes and intercept."

"..But I am always being played by Xiaomei, and Xavi and Iniesta are always ravaging me in two-on-three situations in the small penalty area." Chen Mo is a bit of a pain in the ass. He never feels that his talent is worse than anyone else's when it comes to offense and organization.

, definitely the best in the world, needless to say, but defense.

Zach smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Guardiola and the others have acted too hard, which has caused some shadows on you. Don't worry, it's just like a child who doesn't have his height measured for a year and doesn't feel that he has grown taller. He can only watch as a bystander."

Only those who know how much progress you have made in this month will know that your defensive ability is now the best among your peers! You also don’t think about it, if you have no talent in defense, how can Mr. Guardiola do it every night?

Taking time out to train with you? He is a world-class top defensive midfielder!"
