Green Journey

Chapter 459 This opponent is unusual!
After some laughter, the training session in the afternoon began soon.

But because there will be a game tomorrow, the training in the afternoon is still mainly to help the players maintain their state and not consume physical energy.

But after less than an hour of practice, Chu Zheng and the others walked to the tactics classroom under Guardiola's call.

This is the last tactical lesson before the game, to help Manchester City players deepen their tactical strategies for tomorrow and their impression of Monaco's playing style.

On the way, De Bruyne bumped into Chu Zheng and said, "Chu, recommend me some books on psychology and micro-expressions."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng was overjoyed, and said, "No problem, I have it at home, come and get it when you get home tonight."

After getting Chu Zheng's answer, De Bruyne looked very happy.

Although De Bruyne is very clear that even if he learns this knowledge, he will not be able to reach Chu Zheng's level, but he feels that it should be more or less helpful to him.

As long as it helps, that's enough.

People are different.

When he first met Chu Zheng, he felt that he was superior to Chu Zheng in terms of talent and skills.

But now, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Fortunately, this monster is a teammate standing by his side.

If he stood on the opposite side, it would be hard for him to imagine how he would be kicked when facing Chu Zheng.

For example, last season, when he met Leicester City twice, he was hit hard by Chu Zheng.

A few minutes later, everyone in Manchester City's first team cheered into the tactical classroom and sat down.

After a while Guardiola came to the podium with a laptop.

"Through the demonstrations and tactical simulation duels in the past few days, I think you should have a preliminary impression of Monaco's style in your mind."

After Guardiola took the stage, he turned on the projector, and Monaco's 442 formation suddenly appeared on the huge curtain behind him.

After the words fell, Guardiola paused for a moment, and then continued: "But what I want to say is that this team is very unusual, and it can even be said to be a difficult opponent."

"Strong enemy! Really strong enemy! Their attack power is not even weaker than the Barcelona we played before!" Guardiola emphasized again, as if he was afraid that the players in the audience would not listen.

Chu Zheng and others in the audience nodded accordingly.

"Head! In terms of offense, I think we are stronger than them!" Captain Kompany said with a smile, which was immediately recognized by many people.

Chu Zheng frowned, but did not agree.

He knew exactly how terrifying the tortoise in Monaco, which hadn't yet shown its head, was.

Although the team's defense has now stabilized due to the return of captain Kompany, Chu Zheng really doesn't know whether Kompany and the others can withstand the terrifying impact brought by the super turtle.

At the beginning of this season, Monaco is definitely not the favorite to win the championship in Ligue [-]. In the Ligue [-] with relatively average overall strength, Monaco's competitiveness is by no means top ranks.

Surprisingly, so far this season, Monaco, which has played the 25th round of Ligue [-], has stepped on the Ligue [-] overlord Paris Saint-Germain.

In 25 games, they only lost 3 games, drew 4 games, and won all the other 18 games.

What's even more frightening is that they scored 25 goals in 75 Ligue 4 games, 23 more goals than them, and only conceded [-] goals on the defensive end.

Analyzing from this data, Monaco's offensive strength should not be underestimated, and the same is true on the defensive end.

Some people may think that Monaco scored so many goals because other teams in Ligue [-] are of average strength.

But look at one thing can not be too one-sided, can not ignore Monaco's performance in the Champions League.

In this year's Champions League group stage, Monaco was assigned to Group E, along with Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham and CSKA Moscow.

After the six rounds of the group stage, Monaco beat Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham to advance to the top of the group.

Leverkusen Chuzheng understands that this is not an easy team to play.

Tottenham is even more familiar, a bunch of lunatics.

However, facing the group of young guards led by Pochettino, Monaco double-killed the powerful Tottenham in the first and second rounds of the group stage.

This has been able to prove that Monaco's offensive power is not set off by the weak overall strength of the Ligue [-] league.

It's really strong!
And Monaco is also a youth guard.

Playing against such a team with an average age of around 20 years old is actually difficult and easy to say, just like flipping a coin.

Once you let this kind of young team play crazy, he is likely to kick you to pieces.

But once the battle between the two sides falls into a stalemate, this kind of team may be dragged down by their strongest weapon, 'young'.

It is possible to mess up.

"Monaco's formation will most likely be 442 tomorrow!"

"This is the most familiar formation for Monaco players, and it has a very clear purpose."

"Judging from the data of Monaco in the first half of the Ligue [-] season, they are completely different from us, and they are not as oppressive as Liverpool."

"Monaco do not advocate possession of the ball in the game, they are more willing to give up possession on the field, and then use the speed of many players in the team to find opportunities to counterattack."

After the words fell, Guardiola turned around and glanced at the curtain, and then continued: "But please note that Monaco is not without the ability to control the ball."

"On the contrary, Monaco's tactics are quite flexible. They will make rapid changes in the game according to the opponent's formation and style of play."

After saying that, Guardio stretched his hand and tapped on the laptop on the table in front of him, and a brand new 442 formation map was projected onto the screen.

Then Guardiola pointed at the curtain with a small iron bar and said: "When they face an opponent with a single striker, the two central defenders will have a lot of space to hold the ball.

In such a situation, the two central defenders of Monaco will increase their possession rate, use repeated passes between each other to attract the opponent's defensive formation, press them forward, and implement oppression. Teammates create more space. "

Speaking of this, Guardiola looked a little dignified, and said: "Once we can't put enough and timely pressure on Monaco's defense in the frontcourt, then the pass and control system created by Monaco coach Jardim will start from their backcourt Launched, and then quickly penetrated the midfield area."

"Once our midfielder is broken by the opponent, Monaco's two full-backs will use their strong forward attack ability to advance from the back, cooperate with their full-backs in a small area, and even use their personal abilities to directly attack Break through looking for a pass or a shot."

After the words fell, Guardiola turned around and tapped the laptop on the table again.

Immediately, the highlights of Mbappe's sprints in Ligue [-] appeared on the curtain.

Seeing Mbappé, everyone except Chu Zheng was stunned.

In the first few tactical lessons, Guardiola basically didn't mention this young French striker.

Taking it out now alone, there must be something special about it.

Soon they understood, and were stunned by the terrifying impact of Mbappe in the video highlights.

"Mbappe's position on the pitch is very flexible."

"Falcao focuses on grabbing points in the game, and he can change his position in due course according to changes in the situation on the field."

"Sometimes he even comes to the front midfielder to participate in the offensive organization..." Guardiola analyzed Mbappe in detail to the players in the video.

A few minutes later, when the video ended, Guardiola suddenly smiled and said, "Whoever has the confidence to prevent him in the first place, then I will let him start tomorrow."

After the words fell, there was silence in the tactical room.

Fodeng, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf beside Chu Zheng, is eager to try, and wants to win a place in the Champions League starter.

In the end, he was stared at by his master Chu Zheng, and he instantly froze, aggrieved, and Chu Zheng was happy to see it.

When the others saw Chu Zheng and Foden's small movements, they all smiled knowingly.

Seeing that the Manchester City players in the audience were silent collectively, Guardiola was very satisfied.

He deliberately left Mbappe until today to analyze it.

Only in this way will the player be the most impressed. Tomorrow, he will keep enough vigilance against Mbappe anytime and anywhere, and beware of this young French striker.

"Chu!" After a short silence, Guardiola raised his eyelids, looked at Chu Zheng in the middle of the front row and shouted.

"I understand, boss! Leave the middle lane to me." Chu Zheng raised his hand with a smile on his face, "I'm confident to kill him within 40 meters, so leave this little guy to me!"

"Good!" Guardiola tilted his head and smiled even more for a while.

Next to him, Fernandinho looked at Chu Zheng with admiration.

That's right, if there is anyone in the Manchester City team who can follow Mbappe immediately, it is only Chu Zheng.

In the Manchester City team, Chu Zheng is unbeatable in the 30-meter sprint.

Sane, Sterling, Aguero, Nolito, and Navas all have to be killed in seconds.

There is no way, Chu Zheng's method of launching from the aircraft carrier is too strong, and he jumped out with a swish.

After more than an hour, the tactics class ended.

Chu Zheng had just come out of the tactical room and was about to go back to the locker room to pack up and go home, but Guardiola called him away just as he went out.

Not long after, Chu Zheng and Guardiola appeared on the empty court.

After walking for a while, Guardiola spoke first and said, "Chu, what do you think of me letting Kyle play as a right back tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng instantly knew what Guardiola wanted to do.

Mbappe's activity area in Monaco is more on the left side. Guardiola is afraid that Mbappe will be suffocated at Chu Zheng's feet and then run to the side.

It was a bit difficult for Chu Zheng to restrict him in the first place.

And if Kyle Walker starts at right back, those two are just right.

Chu Zheng didn't answer immediately, but began to think about Walker's performance in the training match during this period.

After a while, Chu Zheng answered, "There should be no problem. I believe Kyle can do it."

Hearing Chu Zheng's answer, Guardiola smiled.

The reason why he asked for Chu Zheng's opinion was not only because he found that Chu Zheng was playing football with a coach's thinking on the field, but also because there were some things that only the players on the field could see clearly.

Especially Chu Zheng, who has the perspective of God, can discover more problems that others cannot see.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes before Chu Zheng trotted to the locker room.

"Kyle, I want you to go to his office!" Chu Zheng shouted over Walker as soon as he returned to the locker room.

Walker, who had already put his bag on his back, was about to leave, and looked at Chu Zheng suspiciously when he heard this.

Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Go! Good thing!"

Walker froze for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and then smiled extremely happily.

After a while, an excited Kyle Walker came out of the locker room and sprinted straight to Guardiola's office.
