Legendary Godfather

While Pintus was leading the Crystal Palace players in devilish physical training, Tong Yi and the others were not idle either.

Tong Yi is currently holding a strategy discussion meeting for the new season.

In the new season, Crystal Palace’s theme and tactical style will not change in any way.

In the new season, Crystal Palace still focuses on high-position pressure, counterattacking on the spot, and then quickly launching a counterattack with a fatal blow!

But some tactical details need to be adjusted!

Tong Yi said, "After all, the composition of our lineup has changed a lot this season, and tactical details need to be adjusted."

Vieri, Beckham, Yuan Zhen, Ferdinand, Kruger and others nodded in agreement.

It is true that many people have left this summer, including many main players and rotation substitutes. The team's tactical details must be greatly adjusted.

Just look at the different abilities and styles of Balotelli, Ignacio and Ibrahimovic and you will know that the tactical details need to be adjusted. ??

For Ignacio, simplicity and directness are obviously better!

Ignacio has explosive physical fitness, tall and strong appearance, but he is also flexible and fast. He has excellent jumping ability and outstanding heading ability. However, his personal ball-holding ability is not good, he does not have the ability to advance the ball independently, and he relies too much on his teammates around him.

When Ignacio is there, the football will basically not stay at Ignacio's feet for more than five seconds. He will basically pass the ball out after receiving the ball, and then he will advance into the penalty area and prepare to grab the header. Also, when counterattacking, he directly uses his speed and impact to chase the football, use his body and impact to collide with the opponent's defender, and seize the position to crush the opponent.

Of course, when Ignacio is here, it’s more about heading for the ball!

But Balotelli is different!

Balotelli's ability to hold the ball at his feet is very good, and his ability to propel himself with the ball is also excellent.

His tactics in the money market are more comprehensive than Ignacio's.

Balotelli can control the ball and cooperate with his teammates, he can also attack with the ball by himself, and he can also compete for headers!

Among Ignacio and Balotelli, Ibrahimovic is more like Balotelli.

However, Ibrahimovic does not have Balotelli's speed, nor is he as strong as Balotelli in holding the ball forward!

But his ability to advance with the ball is much better than Ignacio.

Therefore, after Ibrahimovic comes, Crystal Palace's offensive tactics also need to be adjusted.

Tong Yi said, "In the new season, when attacking, we will make more use of Zlatan's ability to hold and control the ball and make plays. He is our bridgehead in counterattacks."

Vieri and others nodded.

Yes, Tong Yi's introduction of Ibrahimovic is not just as simple as letting others complete the goals, Ibrahimovic will have a more important tactical position!

\u003e Last season, in the French Ligue 1, Ibrahimovic was able to complete 12 dribbles per game, with a dribble success rate of over 70. His delicate foot skills and strong body completed small areas in a very small space. Get rid of it and create opportunities for teammates who come behind you at high speed!

In the new season, Crystal Palace has no shortage of wing players who can advance at high speed!

Both Salah and Mbappe are extremely fast players who are good at penetrating forward and breaking through with the ball. The closer they get to the ball, the greater the threat. As long as Ibrahimovic can control the football in the frontcourt, and After getting rid of them, you can move forward and meet Ibrahimovic!

Last season, Ibrahimovic not only scored goals, but also provided assists to his teammates!

Last season, Ibrahimovic scored 50 goals and provided 18 assists in 51 games. He scored 38 goals and provided 13 assists in 31 league games.

In addition, his success rate in aerial duels is close to 70%, and he has a lot of key passes, even far exceeding some midfield offensive playmakers!

These are the reasons why Tong Yi gave Ibrahimovic more important tactical status!

Tong Yi continued, "Zlatan, Kilian and Mohammed match up very well. I believe their three-man attack combination will become the most feared attack combination in the Premier League in the new season!"

To be honest, Vieri and the others are also very optimistic about this attacking combination!

Tong Yi directly said to Vieri and the others, "You need to design more small routines and small coordination for them in counterattacks. It is best to get them familiar with each other as soon as possible and familiar with the opponent's playing style. Do you understand?"

Vieri said loudly: "I understand, we will get it done!"

Of course, these small offensive coordination routines will still have to be reviewed by Tong Yi in the end, and even the gaps will be checked and filled!

In the new season, Crystal Palace's two wingers, Mbappe and Salah, are closer to the penalty area and the ball than last season. They will more often choose to cut inside and break through.

Because Ibrahimovic's header ability is not very strong, far from being compared with Ignacio.

Therefore, Mbappe and Salah will reduce the number of crosses. They mostly break through with the ball or cooperate with Ibrahimovic, and more often play into the penalty area. , close to the goal and threatening the goal.

They won't have to choose to cross like Mane and Salah did last season. After all, Ignacio's aerial advantage in the penalty area is too great, so they have to choose to cross!

From now on, these two people will hardly have to do the work of passing passes from the wing, they will always go straight into the penalty area!

This is not to say that Crystal Palace will not make crosses from the wing in the new season!

In fact, Crystal Palace will still make crosses from the wing!

It's just that this pass

More work will be handed over to the two full-backs. In the new season, the two full-backs of Crystal Palace will assist forward to a greater extent, and they will choose to cross more often!

Ibrahimovic is already much better than when he was young, when he rarely scored with headers. But now he has scored a lot of header goals, and his ability in heading goals has improved a lot!

Therefore, Crystal Palace will make great use of it!

Moreover, the two full-backs of Crystal Palace are very capable of assisting, especially the crosses from the wing are very accurate. Wouldn't it be a pity not to use this?

If the two full-backs frequently press, there will only be two central defenders. Casemiro or Witsel will often have to retreat and become the third central defender!

Professionalism is the reason why Tong Yi insists on playing as a double midfielder!

The defense and offense of the midfield are left to Kanter and De Bruyne! ??

Kanter's defensive area in the midfield is very large. Even though he is alone, Tong Yi will not think there is any problem.

There is only De Bruyne in the midfield and frontcourt, so De Bruyne can be more free and the attack power will be stronger.

And there is Ibrahimovic in front of him who is good at holding the ball, which reduces the pressure on De Bruyne!

And Marcos Llorente and Sabitzer who were brought back by Tong Yi are both very good!

There is no problem for Sabitzer to serve as a substitute for De Bruyne. He is still very capable in offense and organization. Although he lacks experience and is not as sophisticated as De Bruyne, he can serve as a substitute for De Bruyne. , it is still wrong to learn from De Bruyne.

And Llorente is the guy Tong Yi focuses on training!

This guy's running ability and sweeping ability are very good, and he is very active.

In terms of defense, he is somewhat similar to Kanter, but not as extreme or powerful as Kanter. But he is also a good defensive midfielder. More importantly, his long passing ability and ball distribution ability after stealing the ball are very good, especially his accurate long passing ability, which is what the Crystal Palace needs!

After all, what Crystal Palace is pursuing is to intercept the ball on the spot and quickly counterattack. If the football can be accurately sent to the front line or to the threatening position of the opponent's penalty area at the first time, then the Crystal Palace's offensive threat will be great!

Moreover, there are not many midfielders in Crystal Palace. Excessive passing, receiving, and holding the ball in the midfield can easily lead to the interception of the ball by being double-teamed by the opponent. Therefore, the ability to accurately pass the ball and distribute the ball is very important!

In the past two seasons, Kanter has also been honing his abilities in this area and has grown quite well!

But the accuracy and timing of long passes are not very good!

In this regard, Llorente is much more powerful and mature than Kanter.

However, in defense, Kanter easily defeated Llorente!

\u003c

br\u003e And in terms of experience, familiarity with the lineup, etc., Kanter is far superior to Llorente.

Therefore, now Kanter is still the main player, and Llorente is more of a substitute for Kanter.

To be honest, De Bruyne has a very high degree of freedom in this formation and tactics, and Tong Yi fully believes in De Bruyne.

With De Bruyne behind to deliver artillery shells to the risky combination of Mbappe-Ibrahimovic-Salah and organize the offense, their Crystal Palace tactics are really powerful.

The substitutes for Mbappe and Salah are Perisic and Asensio, and Jimenez is the substitute for Ibrahimovic. The strength of these people is not weak. If you look at Crystal Palace's starting lineup and bench, do you think it will be much worse than last season?

To be honest, not necessarily!

Looking at the detailed team tactical plans prepared by Tong Yi, and even the personnel, Vieri, Beckham, Ferdinand and Kruger were very impressed.

They feel that the strength of their Crystal Palace in the new season is really not bad!

Maybe the strength will be a little worse than last season, but it's not much different. Mbappe, a super new star, may not be as good as Mane, but considering his performance in Sunderland last season, Vieri, Beckham and others have high expectations for him.

Tong Yi immediately said, "Christian and Beckham will leave the offensive training of the team to you. Your task is very heavy!"

Come and try it quickly.

Yes, compared to the team's defensive training, offensive training is more difficult!

Because Crystal Palace has undergone huge changes on the offensive line this summer, it needs to be re-adjusted, cultivate a tacit understanding, and become familiar with new playing methods and new offensive routines. This takes a lot of experience.

Vieri and others immediately said, "Boss, don't worry, we won't let you down!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly, very satisfied!

Then, he looked at Ferdinand and Crewe and said, "I'll leave the team's defensive training to you. Pay special attention to the training of the newcomers and make sure they become familiar with our defensive mode as soon as possible."

This summer, Crystal Palace's defensive players have not moved much, and the defensive tactics have not changed much. The main purpose is to let the newcomers become familiar with the team's defensive tactics as soon as possible!

Ferdinand and Kruger immediately said, "We understand, boss, don't worry!"

Then, Tong Yi collected a lot of feedback and opinions from the coaching staff. They will solve these problems in the near future. Try to be fully prepared before the new season comes!

As for the warm-up matches before the new season, Tong Yi still doesn't care about the results. What he cares about is the performance of the players in these warm-ups. Let's see how well they have integrated with the team!

Before the new season, Crystal Palace's first warm-up match is coming soon. This game will be played at the team's "new home" Valley Stadium!
