The strongest blade in football

Chapter 34 X in the team
Wang Nuo, who is far away in Belgium, knows nothing about the fact that he has a fan base in China.

He doesn't browse domestic forums, and he doesn't have QQ or blogs. He was the best player in the first game. Apart from winning the likes of his friends on Twitter, there seems to be nothing special about him.

Life is still the same as usual.

After the youth league started, there were games every week, and the intensity of training was not low.

Wang Nuo feels full and busy. Their next opponent is Saint-Truden. The game time is the afternoon of August [-]th.

After the first game, Witteante was very satisfied with the team's performance, but he still saw the problem, that is, the ability to break through dense defenses needs to be improved.

Witt Ante's tactic is to pass and control on the ground, infiltrating layer by layer, and the players in the echelon are obviously not up to his requirements.

They couldn't grasp the rhythm of the game and played very rigid and stylized.

In the last game, if the opponent couldn't shrink back, it would be difficult for Standard Liege's offense to hit a threatening position.

Vetteant's emphasis on pass success and possession doesn't mean the team should hesitate to play outside the opposition's defence.

The way young players play football is supposed to be passionate and adventurous - just like Wang Nuo.

Vetteant occasionally suspects that his tactical philosophy is not friendly to young players, will wear down their nature and destroy the inspiration that bursts into their minds.

Reflected on the court, it is that the disciples are afraid of taking responsibility, and they always like to hand over the task of passing threatening balls to teammates in order not to make mistakes.

On the surface, the team played smoothly and the ball was always under control. It seemed that everything was under control, but this was not the case.

Their offense lacks suddenness and initiative, and their forward advancement is based on the loopholes in the opponent's defense. If the opponent does not make major mistakes, their offense will stagnate.

They dare not take advantage of the opponent's small flaws, such as potential gaps, slightly slow cover defenses, and less rigorous positioning.

These should have been opportunities for the team to attack, but the standard Liege players chose to ignore them and missed opportunities time and time again.

It is true that it is not easy to grasp these opportunities, and it is inevitable to take certain risks, which seems unsafe.

But... oh my god, this is football.

Football is full of uncertainties and surprises. Opportunities don’t come by waiting. Witt Ante wants his disciples to play like Barcelona, ​​instead of just learning a part of Barcelona-the inverted foot.

You must know that Barcelona's inverted foot is not just about controlling the ball.

They are observing the changes on the field at any time. They have Xavi and Iniesta's deadly pass, their running position with heart and soul, and Eto'o Messi Henry's super scoring ability, which is completely different from the standard Liege U19 situation. different.

Standard Liege U19 players are ordinary people, no one is extraordinary.

Affected by Witte Ante in the past two years, the passing coordination and ball protection ability have been significantly improved. Correspondingly, they have lost the vigor that young players should have.

In the youth league last season, the standard Liege U19s had a ball possession rate close to 65%, but in the end they only ranked third in the standings, and the team's number of goals could not even make it into the top five.

For this reason, Witt Ante had a headache and made many changes to the team's style of play.

He tried to make his disciples be more active and play more aggressively while maintaining pass control.

Increase the frontcourt pressure and shorten the defensive interval between each other. Unfortunately, Witte Ante failed.

Because this increased the team's running in disguise, the players couldn't keep up physically, they couldn't last the whole game at all, and their mistakes also increased significantly.

During the period of changing his style of play, he lost six games in a row. In desperation, Vetteant had no choice but to give up, and his style of play changed back to the familiar pass and control, and his record recovered.

Another way of thinking is that the team keeps the same style of play, but adds one or several X factors to the team.

These players must have strong personal abilities. If the overall style of play is not effective, let them do it alone, muddy the water, and wait for the opportunity.

Dengo and Paley seem to work, but their personal abilities are not outstanding, and their shortcomings are too obvious-not strong enough.

Opponent players can make them afraid to take the ball and attack by savage rushing.

Although the club doesn't care much about the echelon's record, they only care about whether the echelon can cultivate excellent fresh blood for the first team, but Witteant hopes to have both.

Vetteant often thinks about who else on the team can become the X factor in his pass-and-control style of play, until Wang Nuo returned to the team during the offseason, which made him shine.

Vetteant finally understood who he needed.

Strong body, abundant physical fitness, excellent foot skills, excellent explosive power, amazing speed.

It can be used as a bursting point to attack opponents, and it can also play exquisite cooperation with teammates...

He can also demand himself with high standards and train like a masochist, which means that Wang Nuo is still improving!

These characteristics are relative to young players, but even so, they are already very good.

Every time Vetten thinks about this, he can't help but be happy. The team has picked up a treasure this spring. Anyone can see that this young man's upper limit can become very high.

Wang Nuo is exactly the X that Vietert needs.

Therefore, in the last two days of the intra-team match, Vetteant changed the formation to 4231, placed Wang Nuo at the shadow forward position, Deng Ge and Perry lined up on the left and right sides, and he began to make new attempts.

Compared with the midfielder, the shadow forward is not the main planner and organizer of the offense, and does not need excellent overall control ability.

Compared with the winger, the shadow forward does not need to be fixed on the side, and has a chance to get the ball closer to the goal. It seems that this position is more suitable for Wang Nuo.

Vetteant even tried to give Wang Nuo freedom in the third attacking area: as long as he enters the area close to the third of the opponent's goal, he can go wherever he wants!
Wang Nuo played like this when he was in Brussels.

In fact, the position on the court is not dead, and it is often necessary to rotate positions. Wang Nuo has tried in various positions.

He didn't show any discomfort with the arrangement of Vetteante, and his performance in the match was remarkable, and the performances of Dengo and Pelli were also quite satisfactory.

Witt Ante saw the three flashpoints. All three of them have the ability to mess up the situation. If they are placed on the field at the same time, they will be connected in series to produce a chemical reaction. I don't know what kind of power they will exert.

In any case, speed up the team's attacking tempo in the opposing half.

Witt decided to give it a try.

Saint-Truden is located in Limburg, just next door to the north of Liege. It only takes half an hour to drive there. The team arrived at the destination on the morning of the game day. After a short rest, they went directly to the game field.

The competition venue is somewhat similar to the training ground of the standard Liege U19 youth training base. There are tall barbed wire fences erected around it. The trees outside the barbed wire fence are lush. Feel.

Unlike the previous opener, there were hardly any spectators in this game.

Although it was Saturday afternoon, there were at most 200 scattered spectators in the stands on both sides. Some of them brought newspapers and fruit juice, obviously to pass the time.

Local people's attention is focused on the evening match, and the youth league is not very attractive.

The Saint-Truden youth team members are also lazy. The summer is cloudy, the temperature is not high but the humidity is not low, it is easy to feel tired.

The few cheers from the sidelines hardly aroused their fighting spirit.

The players of Standard Liege are in better condition. The reversal and victory against Bruges has greatly boosted everyone's morale. This game has only one purpose, and that is to take all three points.

In terms of formation, Viante moved Wang Nuo behind Lebia, Deng Ge served as the right midfielder, and captain Vianne retreated to form a double midfielder with Cargill.

In this game, Witt Ante gave Wang Nuo full freedom, according to his own words, "Just don't go too far."

Wang Nuo felt the trust and importance that the head coach placed on him, kept his joy in his heart, and secretly made up his mind——

In this game, you must do your best and conquer everyone with your performance!
