Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 334 Lippi's classic Italian 442, Xiaochu's position in the national team (Chinese national football team)
6 month 4 day.

Xianghe training base.

A group of people were sitting together and chatting.

Wu Lei said hesitantly: "When Chu Feng arrives, should he wear No. 7 or No. 10? Or should he choose for himself?"

It’s not that he couldn’t bear to part with his jersey, but mainly because he didn’t know Chu Feng very well.

After all, the two don't have much friendship between them, and they don't meet each other in La Liga or the Premier League. They usually get to know each other through the news.

But Chu Feng’s reputation in Spain is not very good.

What about beating Felipe so hard that his nose was broken, making Ronaldo cry with a hat trick against Real Madrid, and beating Messi in two rounds against Barcelona?
He has offended all three giants of La Liga and there is no good news about him in the newspapers.

Either they beat this person today or they beat that person tomorrow, and there were even rumors that Maguire was bullied.

To be honest, Wu Lei was a little scared.

Zheng Zhi rubbed his brows helplessly, called Zhu Chenjie over, and said, "You and Chu Feng were teammates in the National Olympic Team. Why don't you send a message to ask him what he thinks? If he wants to wear No. 7, let Lei Zi change. If he wants to wear No. 10, I will change."

Zhu Chenjie shook his head subconsciously.

When they were playing before, someone, at the suggestion of Li Tie, made a malicious tackle on Chu Feng.

The results of it?
He was beaten up by Chu Feng in public, and blood was splattered all over him.

He is also afraid.

"Forget it, Lei Zi, you should take the initiative and change to the club's number 24."

Zheng Zhi had no choice.

Lippi gave them a shot of prevention before going to England.

Chu Feng is the most important thing in everything.

Wu Lei nodded: "I have no problem, it's just a number anyway, I don't think Chu Feng will care too much, we are just overthinking it."

"Look how nervous you are!"

Wei Shihao said unhappily.

However, his eyes were also full of anticipation. You know, Chu Feng’s current nickname is - the best in the world.

Not China, not Europe, but the whole world.

An unprecedented seven Premier League titles.

It’s incredible just to think about it, and he will be partnered with such a person.

Can you not be excited?

"You said Chu Feng has such a big reputation in the Premier League. If I want to go out and play football in the future, can I ask him to introduce me?"

Zhu Chenjie has just turned 18, two years younger than Chu Feng. After leaving the Genbao Base, he has always dreamed of studying abroad.

His abilities are also outstanding in China, and he joined the Shenhua first team at this age.

"I think with your ability, there is a high probability that you will be able to go to the Championship. If you can go out, go out early."

Wu Lei persuaded.

Although he had only been at Espanyol for a short time, he felt the huge gap between Chinese and foreign football, both in terms of training and game quality.

He regretted that he went abroad too late.

"Your brother Lei Zi is right. Get out as early as possible."

Zheng Zhi followed suit: "When we have a tryout tomorrow, you can feel how strong Chu Feng is."

He spent a year at Charlton and another year at Celtic, and when he returned he was simply in a class of his own.

Chu Feng was able to lead Manchester United to defeat Manchester City and Liverpool in the more competitive Premier League and win the Champions League trophy for two consecutive years.

Coming back is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack, the kind that no one can stop.

As for those who think Chu Feng relies on luck?
We all make a living from football, so who doesn’t understand how strong Chu Feng is?
Therefore, no one on the national team from top to bottom would question it.

On the contrary, they all felt that it was a very happy thing that Chu Feng could come back.

"Then wait for Chu Feng to come, and I'll ask him."

Zhu Chenjie lowered his head in thought.
-
The next day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

The Xianghe training base suddenly became noisy.

Everyone who was training instantly became energized.

I saw team leader Zhang Hongqiu and Chu Feng visiting the Xianghe training base.

Several cameras were set up nearby.

There’s nothing you can do about it, when you’re famous you’ll get a lot of attention.

Chu Feng couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

Moreover, he also wanted to use this opportunity to increase his influence and prepare in advance for possible problems in the future.

Soon, the two arrived at the training ground.

Everyone stood up and waved hello.

Chu Feng did not act like a star and responded to everyone one by one.

The national team members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Chu Feng is not as scary as imagined.

"Coach Zhang, what time does our training start? I'm going to the locker room to change my equipment first?"

Chu Feng asked Zhang Hongqiu.

"The relevant equipment has already been prepared for you."

Zhang Hongqiu took Chu Feng into the locker room, where red jerseys were hanging.

But this red is different from Manchester United red.

Pirlo once said: "Italy is more important than everything, more important than Inter Milan, more important than AC Milan, more important than Juventus, more important than any club."

Chu Feng also had a similar feeling at this moment.

It's not about elevating football to a high level, it's just about a person's love for his motherland.

“Number 7.”

When Chu Feng saw his name, he couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he doesn't have too many requirements for jersey numbers.

But the problem is that if he doesn't choose the No. 7 jersey, I guess Wu Lei wouldn't dare to continue wearing it.

Because if you don’t perform well, you will definitely be criticized.

"Xiao Chu, I'm much older than you, so I'll just call you Xiao Chu, okay?"

Zhang Hongqiu asked softly, and after seeing Chu Feng nod, he continued: "I know you are prejudiced against the national team, and I can completely understand that, forget it."

He sighed and fell silent.

Chu Feng did not ask any further questions. He was not very interested in the feelings of the older generation.

Since I have decided to come back and fight for those who support Chinese football.

Then it must be done well.

Mourinho once said that Chu Feng was very similar to him because both of them were extremely stubborn.

"Let's go."

Chu Feng changed into the national team jersey and walked out of the locker room quickly.

Zhang Hongqiu looked at Chu Feng's back and the bright sunshine outside, and subconsciously squinted his eyes.

He seemed to see hope.

At the training ground, Chu Feng saw Lippi, the old man was throwing the football.

Looks like he's in a good mood.

Chu Feng walked over and said, "Coach, for the group competition, shall we talk about the tactics first?"

He has been following Mourinho for more than two years and has long developed the habit of being decisive and swift.

Lippi was very satisfied with Chu Feng's condition and clapped his hands to gather the players together.

"This is Chu Feng from Manchester United."

Lippi helped Chu Feng make an unnecessary introduction, but the key point was that he had to ask the staff to translate it.

Chu Feng was too exhausted to complain.

The same goes for the other national team members. How many honors has Chu Feng won? Does he need others to introduce him to them?
"Team A plays 4-3-3: Elkeson, Chu Feng and Wu Lei as forwards, Hao Junmin, Li Ke and Wu Xi as midfielders"

"Team B also forms a 4-3-3 formation: Wei Shihao, Yang Xu and Yu Dabao on the front line, Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi and Zhang Xizhe in the midfield, and Liu Yang, Zhu Chenjie, Zhang Linpeng and Wang Gang on the back line."

As soon as Lippi divided the players into groups, the players of Team B looked at Team A with envy and bitter faces.

The forward partnership of Elkeson, Chu Feng and Wu Lei can be said to be the strongest combination of the national team.

How should they defend? "We'll make substitutions based on the players' performance later. If there's nothing wrong, they can just stay in position."

Lippi waved his hand.

There is also a friendly match against the Philippines the day after tomorrow, so today's training time cannot be too long to prevent the players from consuming too much physical energy and becoming tired.

Beep! ! ! ——

The training match started soon and the two teams met instantly.

Team A's tactics are simple.

There was no mindless way of passing the ball to Chu Feng because he was being guarded by many people.

Li Ke took advantage of the situation and moved forward quickly.

He grew up in London and was a product of Arsenal's youth training system. He played for Brentford for four summers.

He officially became a Chinese citizen in January this year.

However, this guy has some attitude problems. He is often late and leaves early, and his level is not as good as before.

He quickly passed the ball to Elkeson on the left.

Coincidentally, he is also a planning player, and he is different from Li Ke.

He is the first naturalized player without bloodline.

Elkeson used his speed to break through and sent a cross from the bottom line.

Followed by.

Zhu Chenjie saw Chu Feng jump high, about 20cm higher than him, and head the ball into the goal in the air.

Silence fell.

Everyone's throat was rolling as if they had seen a monster.

Zhu Chenjie, who was confronting head-on, couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the feeling just now.

I can't bump into it, I can't jump over it
He really had no choice but to commit a foul.

"This can stay in the air for at least two meters, right?"

Wu Lei said in amazement.

Then he smacked his lips again: "I feel like Suarez is much worse than you."

"Of course! How many goals did Suarez score?"

Zhu Chenjie followed suit.

After high-fiving a few people, Chu Feng approached Elkeson and Wu Lei and said, "I will retreat to the midfield next. You two should try to get to the ribs. I should be able to get the ball to your feet."

The two nodded in understanding.

However, just five minutes later, Chu Feng retreated and reached out to Li Ke for the ball.

He dared not not give it.

This is the ball tyrant!
With his back to the basket and facing Wu Xi who was trying to steal the ball, he pulled the ball with a big movement and turned around to confront him.

Wu Xi was knocked to the grass by the huge force.

Zhang Xizhe on the right side made up for the defense very quickly.

At least I had a hat trick in Wolfsburg.

However, Chu Feng seemed to have anticipated this. He lightly pushed the ball with his right foot and passed by Zhang Xizhe with the ball.

Followed by.

He raised his head slightly to determine the position of his teammates, then kicked the ball through the net with precision!

The football was like a scalpel, cutting through Team B's last line of defense and coming in front of Wu Lei's running trajectory.

World-class positioning and small-town shooting——

This is everyone's evaluation of Wu Lei, but he did not slack off today and pushed the ball into the goal steadily.

"It was just the right amount of time. I never received a similar pass when I was at Espanyol."

Wu Lei said excitedly.

When he was on the national team before, he always had an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

But today is all different.

Although Chu Feng had just played with them for ten minutes, he gave people a feeling of being a stabilizing force.

Not only did he integrate perfectly into the tactics, but he also knew everyone very well.

"I watched your game videos."

Chu Feng touched his nose slightly.

Because he almost fell asleep watching the videos of the other players except Wu Lei's game.

how to say?

The technical and tactical level is not high enough, resulting in not many highlights.

But Chu Feng is very professional.

When he faced weak teams in the Premier League, he was able to make thorough analysis.

The same can naturally be done today.

Wu Xi and Zhang Xizhe on the opposite side looked at each other helplessly and sighed.

This is the gap!

Lippi on the sidelines frowned and said to the coaching staff: "The gap between Chu and his teammates is too big to be bridged, but this is not entirely a good thing."

"Let Wu Lei come down first, he is still injured."

Football is ultimately a team sport and success can never be achieved by one person alone.

Chu Feng obviously followed the rhythm and thinking of the Premier League. Even though he tried his best to match the rhythm of the national team, there was still a sense of incongruity that could not be removed.

When facing a weak team, Chu Feng can still make up for it with his personal strength.

But when facing a strong team, this sense of disharmony will be magnified infinitely.

"It is difficult to get the national football players to increase their tempo in a short period of time."

Lippi adjusted his silver glasses, with a gleam in his eyes: "Can Chu's position be moved back to pose a threat to the opponent when facing the goal, and connect the striker to connect the entire frontcourt offense. At the same time, he is also the front line of defense in the team's midfield."

The assistant coach next to him had a familiar feeling.

He thought about it carefully -

Isn't this the tactic used by Lippi in Juventus, Roma, Italy and Evergrande?
The classic Italian 4-4-2 formation.

When a head coach achieves three huge successes with the same philosophy, he is unlikely to abandon his style of play and philosophy.

So what does this tactic consist of?

Three and a half defenders, one and a half defensive midfielders, a powerful right back, a super midfield organizer and two forwards, one big and one small.

Super midfielders, such as Platini, Baggio, Del Piero, Zidane
But Chu Feng’s positioning is similar to number nine and a half, but not entirely.

Because in Lippi's vision, Chu Feng has to take on part of the defensive tasks.

The key is.

A super midfielder needs good awareness and strong tactical qualities, accurate and unique judgment of the situation on the field, and then use excellent ball control to adjust the rhythm.

To put it simply.

Chu Feng is the helmsman of the ship, determining the direction and horsepower of the ship.

"In fact, when I first took over the Chinese team, I used this set of tactical concepts, and basically followed the Evergrande configuration at that time."

Lippi rubbed his swollen eyebrows: "The only thing that makes me unsure is the role of the midfield organizer. Zhang Xizhe has passed his peak period before and after his overseas study, and Hao Junmin's status and positioning are relatively vague, so they are unable to shoulder this responsibility alone."

Even without a good midfield organizer, the Chinese team still defeated the South Korean team.

Can Chu Feng shoulder this heavy responsibility alone?
Lippi firmly believes this.

Moreover, this will allow the Chinese team to grow together, rather than mindlessly clinging to Chu Feng.

Lippi has always felt that Chinese football cannot rely on just one person, but should improve the skills of the entire team.

suddenly.

There was a commotion on the field and Lippi looked over subconsciously.

It turned out that Chu Feng had kicked a beautiful world-class goal.

Can break through, shoot, run, steal, fast, strong
He can be said to be a perfect player.

For the Chinese team, the role of a world-class center forward is limited, but the role of a world-class midfielder is unlimited.

The last bit of hesitation in Lippi's heart disappeared with the shot. He said firmly: "Chu has helped me to gain enough authority. From selecting players to using players, from tactics to starting lineups, everything is under the responsibility of the head coach. No one will interfere. I must also give an explanation to the Chinese fans, players and myself."
